Chapter 383: Seal Zhang Daoheng

Dust spread as an enormous arm lay across a small mountain, stretching from the peak to the base, yet it was severed to dust by terrifying power.

If not for Zhang Daoheng unleashing his legal form, equally massive, he would seem quite small facing the Di Jiang corpse monster alone.

Li Hui used the formidable foe to sever the monster’s arm, aiming to provoke the fierce nature of Di Jiang. Simultaneously, he flew headfirst into the wound, throwing out numerous Dirty Soil Rebirth Talismans and Arhat Seven Kill Talismans.

The Dirty Soil Rebirth Talismans derived from the Dirty Soil Yin Shape Talisman and held the ability to awaken the Remnant Soul. However, once awakened, the soul would last only a stick of incense, and whether he could seize the last moment depended on Di Jiang’s might.

Additionally, the Arhat Seven Kill Talismans could absorb malicious intent, increasing killing intent and explosive power. Using this talisman as a trigger to lock onto Zhang Daoheng made the task much easier.

The sound of chains rattled in his ears as the severed arm instantly reattached, restored as if new. This confirmed Li Hui’s suspicion that the creature created by the Heavenly Talisman Sect possessed formidable self-repair abilities.

Zhang Daoheng paused momentarily as Li Hui merged into the monster’s body, severing his energy sense. Despite being in such a situation, he still dared to struggle?

Suddenly, behind the corpse monster, a colossal light and shadow formed.

"Is it the Remnants of Di Jiang again?" Zhang Daoheng became cautious. Previously, when he entered the Heavenly Talisman Sect and encountered the Remnant of Di Jiang, he was caught in a fierce battle that left him in a state of utter chaos. Unexpectedly, Li Hui had gathered the Remnants again, seeming more powerful than before. But he calculated, remaining Cold Smile.

"Hmph, the light and shadow are unstable, only able to last a stick of incense, a futile struggle; how boring!"

"Boom…" The sword light danced as the golden hound legal form merged with the heavenly sword.

The awe-inspiring momentum overpowered the area. The first figure of the Jin Tian Sect could no longer be described simply as a genius or a hero; when he unleashed all Fifty-four Seals, even a demonic giant would flee.

This was the top disciple of the Wutu Continent. Had it not been for his radical methods and principles clashing with the Dao, he might have long become a Dao child.

"Crack…" The sword was like a dragon, soaring through the sky, becoming the calamity.

"Supreme Calamity Sword, calamity, calamity, calamity!" The heavenly sword echoed with a booming voice: "Even the ancient fierce beast Di Jiang cannot escape its fate; let alone this creature created by talisman methods? The calamity path is the supreme path, while the path of talismans is minor. Annihilate it!"

Terrifying calamity power suppressed, Di Jiang struck fiercely.

Outside, the chaos was deafening; a light explosion stretched across the area.

Li Hui seized the opportunity to enter the monster’s chest and abdomen, sensing terrifying pressure from all directions. His Personal Artifact, the Green Emperor Yuanhong Vine, appeared, erecting a one-zhang-high light barrier to withstand the pressure.

"Bang, bang, bang…" The ground shook violently beneath him.

"A talisman creation should have a core. As long as I find the core, I can trap Zhang Daoheng. Bai Ze, discern all things. Let the Heavenly Talisman Sect’s heritage guide me…"

Li Hui released his spiritual sense, calling upon Bai Ze, who forcefully stomped the ground. Light and shadow splattered everywhere as dozens of red-mouthed luan birds took to the skies. Most ordinary practitioners at the Bosa stage could not achieve such a feat.

"Not here, it should be at the back of the neck. My Personal Artifact is consuming too much energy. Not good; the Remnant of Di Jiang is gathering strength. Hurry…"

About half a stick of incense later, terrifying malice erupted within the corpse monster, followed by clusters of black talisman flames igniting, crackling and popping against the Green Emperor Yuanhong Vine.

In a brief moment, his Personal Artifact consumed an unknown number of Green Scale Talismans within.

Li Hui’s heart sank: "The black talisman flames feed on malice and ferocity. Each cluster is equivalent to casting a Dao art; the Personal Artifact can’t hold out much longer."

At that moment, the black talisman fire surged, instantly destroying tens of thousands of Green Scale Talismans inside the artifact, including many treasure talismans, leading to a grievous loss.

"Roar…" The corpse monster unleashed its fiery power, forcing the golden hound legal form to retreat continuously. The Remnant of Di Jiang suddenly struck, borrowing a strand of killing intent from ancient times—desolate, cruel, and fierce.

The heavenly sword shattered as Zhang Daoheng’s vitality surged. He roared in rage, "Do you think this level can suppress me? A delusion, calamity is vast…"

"Crack…" Dazzling lightning erupted from the void, appearing like leaf veins, dragon scales, ancient pines, and mountains, forming waves of tribulation thunder that violently crashed down. This was supreme Dao law, transcending mere Dao arts, summoning heavenly tribulation to assist in battle and cleanse the realm of the grotesque.

"Roar…" The Remnant of Di Jiang seemed aware of its impending disappearance, suddenly erupting with terrifying ferocity, turning impossibility into possibility, extracting an ancient, withered heart from the corpse monster and throwing it out.

"Boom, boom, boom…" The sound of thunderous waves surged continuously; it was no trivial matter—Di Jiang aimed to perish together with the enemy, far more perilous than Li Hui had imagined.

Zhang Daoheng spewed reverse blood, his form rushing backward. Had he known the Remnant of Di Jiang was so destructive, he could have chosen to retreat first, waiting longer to approach. However, there was no remedy for regret; he could only release his spirit treasure to defend himself.

The enormous heart emitted a humming sound, hanging in the air, unleashing waves of black light, a total of forty-nine waves, burning fiercely wherever the eye could see. Zhang Daoheng shouted in surprise and retreated once again.

The earth twisted, shattering the foundation of the Heavenly Talisman Sect.

This place was not a cave but a secret realm created by mankind, utilizing many spatial expansion techniques. At this moment, it began to collapse and sink into the depths.

Zhang Daoheng quickly pulled himself up, preparing to flee, but unexpectedly, a hundred-zhang-long arm reached out from the dust, grasping him from thousands of zhang away.

Immense pulling power emerged, forcibly dragging him into the tumbling earth and stones.

"Break for me!"

"Bang, bang, bang…" Centered around Zhang Daoheng, all the earth and rocks turned to fine dust and scattered.

Suddenly, Li Hui approached, his hands constantly overlapping in hand seals as he said, "You are indeed powerful. Even if I reach the Initial Condense Essence Stage, I still have no way to deal with you; the gap cannot be measured by reason. Aren’t you the one in the Jin Tian Sect who has been sealed the most? Today, I will give you a great seal, using the Di Jiang Corpse as a coffin to trap you beneath the earth. Even if it lasts only for a few years, it will be enough for my preparations!"

"Dream on!"

Zhang Daoheng took a step forward, and just as he was about to approach Li Hui, his surroundings suddenly changed. Dazzling talisman light floated around him.

"Trivial skills!" He used unique skills to break the seal. However, as he burst through the talisman light formation, he found himself surrounded by black fire. He was genuinely sealed within the peculiar corpse created by the Heavenly Talisman Sect—neither on the ground nor in the sky, with pressure rising from all directions to suppress him.

"Break, break, break…" The black talisman fire surged; even utilizing the power of time’s void could not break the Spatial Barrier.

Li Hui watched as the corpse monster sank deeper underground, murmuring to himself: "Rather than saying I’m sealing you, it’s more like using you to seal this terrifying giant. You will mutually seal each other here while battling! When the day comes to unearth you in a few years, it will be the time for our final showdown, and also the day I march against the Hongmo Sect."

A wild wind arose, and the place became empty of figures…

Dalong, under the dark moon, in a lavish palace filled with the clinking of cups.

Suddenly, a man at the table displayed displeasure and then smiled slightly, saying, "Junior Brother, you truly impress me. Who would have thought that the first person of the inner sect of the Jin Tian Sect couldn’t kill you! It seems Chen Nuo Er cannot be blamed for her incompetence! It appears I need to enlighten Cheng Yuyan. Such a bit of calamity power cannot defeat me. Li Maocai, oh Li Maocai, what is wrong with me, Xun Zuoyuan? I have treated you like a father, yet you dare to kill me. Who knows what opportunities lie in wait for me, Xun Zuoyuan, after death, after death…"
