Chapter 162: Amplify! Amplify!
The clash of the blue-red demonic energy and the blood hand created shockwaves that shattered the remnants of the Five Elements All-Destroying Flame Formation, completely breaking it down!
Li Hui covered his ears, thinking, “Fight as you please, just don’t involve me. Great demon, if you feel you can’t hold on, don’t be foolish and take a stand—run!”
As if the demon heard Li Hui’s thoughts, the air shook with a whoosh. The surroundings blurred, and in a daze, a massive shadow soared up and fled, followed by a cacophony of sounds before vanishing entirely.
The blood hand spun around and quickly locked onto its target to pursue.
“Boom…” The Miao Jade altar suddenly collapsed, and spiritual energy surged out. Li Hui took a deep breath, forming a wide vortex of spiritual pressure around him, consuming spiritual energy using the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays at the cost of talisman power, while the demonic energy poured into the Bamboo Box on his back.
Guang Jin shouted, “Sir, wear me on your chest!”
Li Hui stood up, took out the beads, and put them around his neck, watching as the dissipating blue-red demonic energy gathered again, swarming toward him along the spiritual pressure vortex. It was obvious, Hongmo Sect disciples would arrive soon, and below the Miao Jade altar appeared a dark hole. He hastily slapped a few Green Scale Talismans onto his body and shot them inside.
As he entered the cave, his vision darkened, and cold light rushed in.
“Instantly as desired!” Li Hui called out, his figure tracing a bizarre arc as he weaved between the cold light, narrowly avoiding the attacks.
“Wow, such rich demonic energy!” The beads on his chest cheered, instantly gathering a swirl of blue-red demonic energy, while a massive wave of cold light was about to erupt. Suddenly, it hesitated, flickering in place and failing to launch an attack.
Li Hui broke out in a cold sweat, chills running down his spine, still feeling afraid: “These demons are so cautious! Even with the outer array surrounding me, they have set up their own defenses inside. Thankfully, Guang Jin absorbed the demonic energy, keeping the blue and red energy pulsating, making the cold light mistakenly think its master is still here. Otherwise, even relying on the Ideal Body to dodge, I wouldn’t have managed to keep shifting for long.”
“Whoosh…” Three square spirit talismans soared into the air, releasing gentle sunlight that illuminated the surroundings.
These were Sheng Dou talismans, a type of storage talisman that could store sunlight and provide three days of light in dark places.
Li Hui really wanted to draw proper storage talismans, but he lacked the basic materials needed. Talisman methods often depend heavily on mediums, so he could only wait to try again later.
The three Sheng Dou talismans acted like three mini-suns, making everything in the cave visible.
Li Hui frowned slightly; the demon obviously possessed storage treasures, taking away piles of artifacts. That’s why the cave was so dark; otherwise, the artifacts would be shining, bright enough to scatter auspicious light throughout.
The embroidered ball became interested, exclaiming, “How many years has this astonishing great demon resided here? It has actually nurtured accompanying insect demons, which is quite rare. These insect demons have already formed cocoons several times, buried nine feet deep underground. When they hatch, they will immediately metamorphose, and there’s a chance they will evolve into half-demons. Even better, if the metamorphosis fails, they die, and their remains can be fed to the heavenly marrow worm for miraculous effects!”
Li Hui wasn’t concerned about the insect demons and lifted his hand to slap a Treasure Viewing Talisman on his forehead. His eyes immediately emitted three feet of green light, allowing him to observe the cave in minute detail.
The Treasure Viewing Talisman was the fifth type of reconnaissance talisman recorded in the Record of the Four Gods and Demons, more difficult to refine than the Sky Peeping Talismans. Since the focus was on the blood talismans, he had only accumulated four so far, and he used one.
Unexpectedly, as he looked, it almost blinded his eyes.
“Hahaha, there’s no dead end in life! A large number of broken artifacts and treasures are buried underground.” Li Hui was overjoyed, waving his hand to grab four corners, and the dragon claw phantom seized thousands of glimmers of light.
“Come, come, come…” Not only thousands, but the ground also started to collapse, thirty thousand, fifty thousand, a hundred thousand points!
“Boom…” The points converged into a torrent.
Li Hui’s expression changed sharply. The silver snake bracelet absorbed the light points and immediately enhanced the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays. The talisman formation was operating too fast; this was not good.
“Pen, come!”
Holding the talisman brush, he quickly sat cross-legged. The Heavenly and Earthly Arrays adjusted to position, and the brush tip instantly fell onto the blank talisman paper, with silver light penetrating in, forming eight patterns, summoning monsters.
“Again!”
He obtained four Eight-Pattern monster-conjuring talismans. Once the Seven-Pattern monster-conjuring talisman was exhausted, he could at least continue the cultivation without interruption.
Li Hui sat quietly for a moment, as the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays thundered to accelerate, becoming somewhat unstable.
“Do not disappoint me. I will now draw the Nine-Pattern monster-conjuring talisman.”
While the silver snake bracelet thoroughly indulged, it sent a streak of silver light to the pen tip, drawing the residual demonic energy in the cave, forming many massive energy clusters encircling him on all sides, even the demonic energy that had seeped into the stone walls over the years floated out.
“Form, form, form!”
The talisman was completed with nine patterns—one, two, three, four…
When he was just six Nine-Pattern monster-conjuring talismans short, Li Hui was dumbfounded. The Heavenly and Earthly Arrays thundered to speed up again; he didn’t know what the silver snake bracelet had consumed. If he didn’t quickly release that terrifying amplifying power, the two formations he painstakingly built in his body would collapse immediately.
Drawing treasure talismans required focus, but by the time he fully concentrated, the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays would have already collapsed. If one were to say which talisman consumed the most, it would have to be the monster-conjuring talisman.
To release the amplifying power, as the monster-conjuring talisman formed, it already had nine patterns and three exotics. Without allowing himself to catch his breath, he hastily drew the second one, and still, it formed with nine patterns and three exotics, the back of the talisman depicted nine white-horned rhinoceroses encircling each other.
The embroidered ball was already so shocked that it couldn’t speak. A mere Spirit Motion Stage cultivator not only managed to draw monster-conjuring talismans but also reached the terrifying level of nine patterns and three exotics. Did the sect possess something so unprecedented that even it was unaware? It seemed ridiculous; the current sect leader and Grand Elder of the Jade Symbol Sect had schemed for so long, yet they probably didn’t possess something as formidable as this little brat.
Suddenly, ten pieces of talisman paper unfurled, and the dragon claw phantom moved swiftly.
“You…” The embroidered ball wished it could smack this unworthy disciple to death, its anger boiling inside, “You little rascal think you can mass-draw inferior blood talismans? The monster-conjuring talisman is the ultimate masterpiece of the Jade Symbol Sect! You think…”
“Uh…”
The talisman completed—ten pieces, nine patterns and three exotics.
Guang Jin wailed, “Demonic energy, my demonic energy!”
Li Hui clearly sensed that drawing monster-conjuring talismans in this cave was particularly easy. In fact, drawing ten pieces of nine patterns and three exotics simultaneously was insufficient to release the amplifying power. His heart still yearned for nine-pattern monster-conjuring talismans; he was only six away from possibly nurturing a peach tree demon!
After ten pieces, he produced another ten, yet it still failed to completely suppress the amplifying power.
Li Hui was about to go insane. How many damaged treasures were buried in this cave? He didn’t even need to use the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique. The silver snake raised its head, even opening its eyes, continuously drawing in the light.
Talismans completed! Talismans completed! All of them were nine patterns and three exotics. He had already reached a hundred talismans, with the remaining high-quality talisman paper running low!
The amplifying power climbed again, and Li Hui had to put down his brush, clutching the Fortune Ascending Talisman between his fingers. Feeling somewhat helpless, he could finally no longer avoid using this talisman; let’s boil it with waves of fire and let the fortune become even more intense!
