Chapter 420: Using Fierce Forces to Gather Absolute Arrays

This tiger skin bears the blood of the founding summer emperor. Throughout the long years, rather than fading away, it has manifested various wonders.

“Heavenly Arrays, Earthly Arrays, activate!”

Li Hui commenced his rituals, pulling a jade hairpin from his head and transforming it into the Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword. With a booming sound, he struck the tiger skin, releasing a torrent of blood light, and quickly deployed the Treasure Cabinet Array to grind away the aura of death, malicious energy, twilight aura, and fierce energy.

The Enamel Dragon Crystals spun together like a grinding wheel, meticulously refining the essence.

“Cut!” Li Hui swung the sword again towards the tiger skin blood letter, slicing down chunks of blood light. The Treasure Cabinet Array struggled to keep up, with magnificent Dragon Energy and Purple Mist swirling around.

“Quick!”

Hundreds of treasure talismans soared into the sky, empowered by the silver snake bracelet, instantly transforming into dazzling silver light that vigorously purified the polluted air, leaving only Dragon Energy and Purple Mist, which took on the forms of a majestic five-clawed golden dragon and a purple drum-filled gold hammer.

“My goodness? Incredible! The Dragon Energy and Purple Mist have transformed into shapes.” Li Hui hurriedly took out the ancient sacred artifacts to absorb the righteous qi, also transforming into various forms: some resembling brushes, some books, some seals. Although they weren’t clear, their quantity made up for it.

“Boundless Heaven, combine the three energies!”

The Mystical True Explanation of the Three Elements is notoriously difficult to cultivate, primarily requiring time and dedication. The profound qi on the ninth level is termed as great success, but great success does not equate to perfection; there are further cultivation directions not covered by this accomplishment, making this path quite long.

Today, Li Hui aimed to lay a solid foundation, hoping to someday reach that profound and mysterious realm, repeating the glory of old.

“Puff…” The clear qi rose while the murky qi sank, the energies split into two extremes, separating Yin from Yang.

These auras of death, malicious energy, twilight aura, and fierce energy needed to be handled; otherwise, they would contaminate the spirit herb garden.

Li Hui quickly set to work, gathering the murky qi to craft the Dirty Soil Yin Shape Talisman, the Twilight Bell Talisman, and the Talisman of Obstinacy. This is how talisman methods work; regardless of whether something is good or bad, there is always a means of transformation, inscribing it onto talisman paper—this is the profound essence of the path of talismans.

With the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays guiding him, he felt a tremendous force circulating within his body. It revolved five times before the sixth turn abruptly halted, seemingly encountering layer upon layer of obstacles.

“Six rotations of profound skill, shatter the shackles.”

Li Hui casually beckoned, drawing Dragon Energy, Purple Mist, and righteous qi into his body via the Treasure Cabinet Array, quickly expending talisman power to fully activate the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays, merging the three energies.

Time passed, and after two hours of sitting in meditation, a sound erupted from within him.

“Break!” The profound qi became more concentrated, successfully breaking through the threshold to allow the immense force to turn again. However, reaching the seventh rotation was far beyond expectations; the consumption didn’t matter as much as the insufficient refinement of the profound qi.

“That’s enough; one can overdo it. For now, I’ll focus on solidifying my foundation before trying for the seventh rotation.” Li Hui knew when to stop, looking at the tiger skin blood letter. The once brilliant characters had turned dull and decayed. The ancient sacred artifacts had also lost their wondrous aspects, becoming quite ordinary.

“It’s time to deal with the Beast-Faced Bronze Cauldron. Coincidentally, the Four Fiends Absolute Kill Suppression Array within the Mysterious Pearl aligns perfectly with this item. Using talisman arrays to counteract poison can enhance the ferocity of the Four Fiends Absolute Kill Suppression Array.”

“That’s not all; I want to deploy various treasures to help the Four Fiends Absolute Kill Suppression Array absorb the unrivaled malice of the lohan fruit, making the formation extraordinarily fierce. In this way, the ferocity can rise like an ancient fierce beast reborn, making it nearly impossible for anyone to enter the Mysterious Pearl, but thankfully, it can still be resolved.”

“Legends say that there are sheer cliffs filled with spiritual minerals that absorb the essence of the sun and moon over countless years, with a slim chance of forming a Limitless Cliff, hiding from the world. I wonder which demon cultivator was fortunate enough to acquire three pieces of Limitless Cliff stones; I must use these stones to inscribe the Limitless Cliff Talisman.”

“With the Limitless Cliff Talisman, I can diffuse the sinister energy, equivalent to easily catalyzing the Four Fiends Absolute Kill Suppression Array against the enemy.”

Li Hui began to arrange his setup, using thirty-two treasures as the core to establish a powerful talisman array. At the center, he placed the Beast-Faced Bronze Cauldron and the heavenly mansion ceramic vase sealed with the fierce energy of the lohan fruit.

Each of these thirty-two treasures was remarkable. Some could produce light from darkness or contained pure Yang energy; some were relics left behind by great virtuous high monks, while others were the tears shed during moments of sorrow by powerful divine beings. They shared a common feature: the ability to restrain dark and malevolent forces.

Though it was regrettable to destroy such treasures, the Beast-Faced Bronze Cauldron and the lohan fruit were like two cancerous tumors that, if not suppressed quickly, would breed endless calamities.

“Quick!”

All talisman arrays ignited with brilliant light as Li Hui presided at the center. Under the guidance of his sword light, the Beast-Faced Bronze Cauldron struggled violently, with faint sounds of roaring echoing.

After retracting the heavenly mansion ceramic vase, the lohan fruit erupted with terrifying fury, unleashing a black tide that surged outward, quickly forming a black tsunami of malicious energy and a chilling aura that crashed like a mountain.

“Not good!” Li Hui quickly poured in talisman power to reinforce the array’s might.

One black pattern after another vanished from the back of the silver snake bracelet until over ten black patterns had dissipated, successfully suppressing the violent energy of the lohan fruit.

“Phew, I finally managed to stop it; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

At that moment, two terrifying beams of black light shot up, piercing through the clouds of the Xuancha Cave Heaven, cutting through dense Dao Traces, and crashing into the ancient beast bones used to set up the Four Fiends Absolute Kill Suppression Array, nourishing the bones with dark malevolence.

This could be considered a perfect fit, intensifying the evil with more evil and the malice with more malice until black barrier energy emerged, swirling like mist or writhing like a dragon, like a cave, like a chasm…

The talisman array operated on its own, leveraging the powerful forces of the thirty-two treasures to gradually drain the energy from the Beast-Faced Bronze Cauldron. However, eliminating the lohan fruit entirely was impossible. This item was wrapped in layers of malice, and no one knew how many layers there were; he could only exert maximum effort to weaken and transform it.

Li Hui sat down, laying down ninety-nine layers of tribulation soil, beginning to handle the demonic items.

Back when he discovered the Small Heavenly Cave upstream of the Li River, everything was a sight of devastation, with tribulation soil everywhere. Thus, the most abundant item in the Mysterious Pearl is tribulation soil.

With the tribulation soil blocking the way, even if the demonic items were destroyed, they couldn’t tarnish the water and soil. This preventive measure was both simple and effective.

“Clang, clang, clang…” The sword light kept slicing down as Li Hui’s handling methods were straightforward and brutal; he first destroyed before anything else. If he encountered resentful souls or soul-sealing artifacts, he immediately subdued them, drawing their souls into the Primitive Shell Symbols.

Earlier, the silver snake bracelet had devoured a magical item, leaving behind a cluster of red light, the worldly demonic influence. At this moment, he sliced through the demonic items, allowing it to slowly grow stronger.

Few have ever concentrated on destroying so many demonic creatures. As the Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword broke through a demonic book, a rumbling sound echoed in his ears, and the worldly demonic influence transformed into a blood tiger, throwing back its head to roar.

Li Hui watched for a moment and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Good! With this demonic influence, I can elevate the mighty bull magic talisman to the level of a demonic talisman. Coupled with the talisman power accumulated by the silver snake, this will be the second Jade Symbol!”

What kind of magical and divine talismans? Only by becoming a Jade Symbol can they show their true power.

Once it became a Jade Symbol, the process became simpler. They all had different functions, and by cultivation, their sizes could be amplified, potentially reaching nine inches and transforming into a Celestial Talisman.

“Ding…” The Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword encountered an obstruction. Li Hui looked at the fluttering golden butterfly and was secretly surprised: “An outer domain demon?”
