Chapter 480: Summoning the Demoness Rakshasa

“‘A thousand miles of fate tied by a single thread?’” Xiuqiu said with a teasing tone. “This love demon has deep thoughts, attempting from the very start to weave feelings into you.”

“It’s alright; if she can weave them, I can cut them!”

Li Hui declared as he drew his sword. His vision and talisman techniques now far surpassed his cultivation. With a “ding,” he struck down at the purple hair. Even though this strand seemed to have materialized out of thin air and was nearly invisible to the naked eye, he located it and struck with his sword.

“Boom…” The waves shimmered, and the purple receded.

Ji Mengxue’s wound erupted with a blood mist, and the hair didn’t break. Instead, after losing its purple color, it transformed into a slender red string.

“How could this happen?” Li Hui was astonished and stunned.

“Feelings are hard to sever! Unless you truly desire to kill the other, you won’t be able to cut them away; they will remain entangled,” Xiuqiu said quietly, as he too had ties to the Jade Symbol Sect women, feeling those feelings stretch far away.

Li Hui quickly retracted his talisman sword and waved his hand to pull out a robe, draping it over Ji Mengxue. Upon inspecting her wounds, he was shocked.

“Damn, my sister became a demoness and has a way to heal herself. She’s already mostly recovered and has a chance of healing fully, but my reckless strike disrupted her recovery, worsening her injuries. What to do? There’s no time to seek out those healing sects for help; if delays continue, she could fall along the way,” Li Hui panicked, feeling flustered. Suddenly, he turned around, biting his teeth and saying, “Worry brings confusion; this will just lead to more mistakes.”

Suddenly, he pointed his talisman brush at Ji Mengxue’s forehead, frantically consuming the Qi of Taiqing to draw runes. The brush’s tip spread from her forehead to her body, marking her acupoints with fluid strokes.

This time, it truly was a clear view, seeing the beautiful figure distinctly. However, there was no other option but to summon the love demon back, allowing her to recover consciousness and use the treasure cabinet for adjustments to achieve the desired outcome.

The love demon’s methods were brilliant; the demon was born of the heart, far surpassing its original form.

Earlier, Li Hui had used the silver snake Legal form to launch the attack, not expecting this entity to reappear, making matters complicated. He had to use the summoning remote sensing talisman as a Body Talisman imprint; otherwise, he would be unable to gather the demonic thoughts again.

After painstakingly completing the final stroke, Ji Mengxue slowly opened her eyes, but her gaze was chillingly cold.

“This doesn’t seem right…” Li Hui sensed something was off. Before he could act, a thunderous sound erupted, and the Bull Demon King Talisman flew out on its own, unleashing terrifying demonic energy that pinned him down forcefully.

“Elder sister!”

No response came; only an endless wave of demonic intent filled the air.

Xiuqiu exclaimed, “This isn’t good. This girl has a summoning constitution. Using the summoning remote sensing talisman as a Body Talisman failed to call back the love demon; it seems to have awakened a deeper demonic thought within her.”

“Summoning constitution? Right, she mentioned it casually when identifying the demon lair.” Li Hui felt frustrated. To summon back the love demon, he had done his utmost, yet the situation was clearly spiraling out of control.

The previous love demon was passionate, wishing to merge with her lover, but now, Ji Mengxue was frigid, radiating an icy chill. With endless demonic thoughts, she urged the Bull Demon King Talisman to repress Li Hui, then began to cultivate to heal herself.

Before them, the purple Crystal Shields spun rapidly, extracting colorful spiritual light and enveloping the area.

At this moment, Ji Mengxue seemed like a bottomless pit, consuming all the spiritual energy stored in the treasure cabinet. Her complexion quickly began to improve, and even the wound on her chest showed signs of healing as her organs gradually returned to their proper positions.

As Li Hui realized the vast amounts of spiritual energy were vanishing, he noticed three whirlpools of spiritual pressure above him. The energy consumption being immeasurable, these whirlpools twisted and crushed each other, constantly shattering and re-combining, seemingly touching some boundary.

“Boom, boom, boom…” The three whirlpools of spiritual pressure merged into one, and a fist-sized black hole appeared at the center.

At that moment, Ji Mengxue’s hair turned a reddish-purple, suddenly shooting into the black hole. Before long, she dragged out a shadow from within. Strangely, this shadow was alive and screamed in desperation.

Li Hui exclaimed in shock, “An outer domain demon? I heard summoning such things was complex and difficult!”

For others, it might be challenging, but for Ji Mengxue, it was straightforward as long as there was vast amounts of spiritual energy to support her. Her long hair extended an unknown distance, and when pulled back, she dragged out numerous shadows from the black hole, possibly over a hundred in total.

Since ancient times, demon cultivators enjoyed summoning outer domain demons, refining magical items, magical skills, or enhancing demonic thoughts. As long as they could subdue the outer domain demons, their power would increase significantly. However, as time passed, capturing these demons became increasingly difficult, leading them to summon outer celestial demons instead.

Outer celestial demons were the lowest tier among outer domain demons, existing outside the Azure Sky layer, and could arrive whenever offered a sacrifice. It was said that truly powerful demons came from other worlds, with even demon cultivators unaware of their origins, giving rise to various secret techniques that were overwhelmingly powerful.

The appearance of so many outer domain demons was remarkable; scattering the treasure cabinet wouldn’t be surprising. Yet, before they could unleash their power, Ji Mengxue pressed her hand against her chest, reciting the demon scripture. The unruly outer domain demons suddenly made chaotic sounds, appearing to suffer intense attacks.

Li Hui activated Bai Ze’s divine eye to observe, discovering that his elder sister was transferring her severe injuries onto the outer domain demons. This method of healing was unbelievable! The means of a practitioner of the demonic path had always been strange; this was a clear glimpse into that mystery.

However, the situation became even stranger as Ji Mengxue’s cultivation skyrocketed, crossing barriers from Late Condense Essence to reaching Bosa Stage, then advancing rapidly to mid-stage Bosa, finally even to late-stage Bosa! How many levels and tribulations had she bypassed to achieve such progress? Yet she ascended to the heavens in one swift leap.

Not only that, but her Legal form also solidified. It manifested as a Rakshasa of considerable height, cloaked in swirling vapors that formed her garments, radiating extreme beauty and enchantment.

The Rakshasa was a ghostly being that fed on humans. Yet this female Rakshasa’s Legal form treated the outer domain demons as sustenance, inhaling deeply.

“Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!” The demons screamed in despair but couldn’t prevent their bodies from bursting like bubbles, a haunting chewing sound echoing through the air as the female Rakshasa’s form grew, reaching a height of a hundred zhang before finally stopping, her gaze coldly surveying below, with a flicker of red light deep within her magic eyes.

“Crack, crack, crack…” Thunder and lightning clashed, illuminating the underground cave.

The heavens responded with calamity, with demon cultivators advancing from Condense Essence to Bosa, and even reaching late-stage Bosa. Immediate intervention was required to avert catastrophe; thus, the impending calamity was remarkable from the moment it arrived.

Ji Mengxue whipped her hair, hoisting the last twenty-some outer domain demons that hadn’t disintegrated, revealing numerous cracks on their bodies.

Silent and unseen, the heavenly tribulation collapsed, astonishingly cutting away a large portion of the calamity power.

Li Hui yelled, “Sister, you’ve fallen too deeply into the demonic path. Come back; don’t let her control you!”

“Enough!” The Bull Demon King shook its body, increasing its power to suppress, but it was a talisman of Li Hui, and it swiftly reverted to a Jade Symbol.

Ji Mengxue rose, her voice cold: “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to shed these shackles. Remember, Ji Mengxue is Ji Mengxue, the love demon is the love demon, and I am the Rakshasa woman. Remember, from this day forth, do not let me see you again, or I will show no mercy!”

“Boom…”

Li Hui was stunned, overwhelming demonic intent flowed through the strings of feelings, and the heavenly calamity began to attack the Treasure Cabinet Array. This Rakshasa woman was using him as a shield to face the ensuing heavenly tribulation, truly terrifying and troublesome.
