Chapter 546: Fierce Demons and Demon Beasts

The red-gold pangolin inhaled deeply, swallowing every bit of the surrounding Demon Fire, with tremendous rumbling sounds emanating from its belly, yet it paid no mind to it.

The hundred-antler deer shook its head, and the many branches of its antlers sprayed corpse energy, quickly merging into a black tornado that roared forward, sweeping away the Demon Fire.

Li Hui smirked slightly; the flames released by the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique were both fire and talismans. He raised his hands to cast from a distance. The red-gold pangolin suddenly sensed something was wrong as nine indescribable auras interlinked within its body, unleashing terrible heat that began to imprint, forcibly altering its form.

“Wow, this body is truly remarkable. If the Heavenly Talisman Sect can create a Di Jiang Talisman Corpse, then I can create a zombie demon,” he said just as the red-gold pangolin spun around, its tail crashing against the hundred-antler deer with a deafening impact, unleashing twelve times the force.

After the blast, the hundred-antler deer fell into a pile of mush. Li Hui pointed to the ground and commanded, “Eat!”

“Roar…” The red-gold pangolin attempted to resist, but the threads of talisman flames began engraving symbols within its body, including its Yin spirit, gradually glowing with nine extraordinarily unique symbols.

At that moment, it realized how foolish it was to devour the Demon Fire, but there was no regret in this world.

Struggling was futile; the red-gold pangolin began to madly consume the corpse of the hundred-antler deer, as it was the only way to feel any better. Unexpectedly, the malevolent cultivator grinned and said, “After you finish the deer meat, swallow the ashes from the Bony Hands. I’ll engrave thirty-six thousand talismans in your body.”

“Roar…” The red-gold pangolin erupted with fury, but it felt countless hooks moving within it, sealing layers of its Yin spirit and demon soul, leaving it no means to fight back.

Just eat! To others, he was the knife, while the red-gold pangolin was the fish; it couldn’t cause any waves now.

As the Bony Hands gradually grew sparse, Li Hui scanned the area, finding the breaking speed too slow. Meanwhile, the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique reabsorbed the Demon Fire, which grew stronger after burning, brushing against the boundary to become a Celestial Talisman.

The red-gold pangolin was buried in its meal when suddenly the ground trembled, and thousands of giant skeletons approached, their eye sockets ablaze with demonic flames and engulfed in demonic energy—the guardians of this formation.

“Hahaha, here they come!”

Li Hui clapped his hands, causing dozens of massive Abyssal Woods to fly out.

“Crack, crack, crack…” The furious Yin Thunder raged.

Jieyin painstakingly raised bug worms, trying to create a Yang Thunder bug; this was the fourth attempt, and in the end, it had been defeated by his own demonic self.

This Yin Thunder was immensely powerful; after exploding, it didn’t disappear but rather connected in a chain reaction, bursting between the giant skeletons, leaving them powerless to advance, most collapsing to the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Hui summoned the Demon Fire again, directing it at the red-gold pangolin as he formed seals.

“Roar…” The pangolin suddenly raised its head, its body swelling over twice its size, opening its mouth wide to inhale deeply. The giant skeletons trembled violently, unable to contain the black-purple demonic flames in their eye sockets, which shattered as they lost their magic power.

“Refine!” Li Hui landed on the flat forehead of the red-gold pangolin, continuously forming seals, controlling the Demon Fire that infiltrated the pangolin’s body to spread and burn, creating a series of talisman imprints.

At this moment, many giant skeletons wielding stone and bone weapons charged towards him; they stood thirty zhang tall, much more robust than those that came before. Clearly, they were elite, whether in life or death.

The red-gold pangolin, at a length of a hundred zhang, charged forward, each rotation of its tail sweeping away massive groups of skeletons, its eyes ignited by purple demonic flames, the potency of its demonic energy growing increasingly terrifying.

“That’s enough; I don’t have that much patience.” Li Hui sneered, “Open your mouth; I’ll feed you a big guy. When you digest it, you’ll be the number one fierce creature of Wutu.”

The red-gold pangolin opened its mouth wide, feeling something fall into its insides, and suddenly a fierce, blazing energy surged, engulfing all its intelligence.

“Roar, roar, roar…”

Innate fury erupted as Li Hui fed the talisman decree that contained the corpse of the fierce beast Tao Wu to the red-gold pangolin. Thirty-six thousand talismans unleashed their power, refining the Tao Wu corpse while using it to absorb the formation’s Yin energy, dark energy, and demonic energy, proving that in this world, there is not just the fiercest but even fiercer ones.

“Hahahaha, I’m going to see the true face of this ominous array today.”

Smoke billowed from the pangolin’s mouth and nostrils; though it had been dead for many years, with its heart infused with demonic energy and boundless fierce flames, it unexpectedly began to thump as if revived.

At this moment, no matter how many ghostly or demonic entities rushed in, the red-gold pangolin only needed a single spin to shatter everything around it, including the mountains of bones.

The rampage began as a thousand mountains of corpses collapsed. Li Hui appeared like a bottomless pit; the Demon Fire devoured demonic energy, the wooden turtle ring absorbed Yin energy, and the red-gold pangolin ingested fierce energy and demonic energy, rapidly dismantling the foundation of the formation from within, seizing the unparalleled might that had accumulated over countless years.

The collapse accelerated rapidly, each step of the red-gold pangolin radiating terrifying demonic energy. With the mountains of corpses crumbling, everything ancient shattered into dust, revealing the true essence of boundless ferocity.

In just over sixty breaths, thirty thousand mountains of corpses crumbled like paper, falling apart and forming dunes.

The red-gold pangolin’s demonic power surged, its body expanding to a height of ten thousand zhang, antlers sprouting from its head, limbs growing thick, and along its spine emerged a row of sword-like hard bones, with green demon flames and purple demonic flames swirling in its eyes as vast calamity clouds appeared overhead.

At this moment, its massive form resembled undulating mountains, pushing into the formation under Li Hui’s control.

The heavenly tribulation suddenly lost its target, unable to determine where to strike.

This was the power of the Great Formation of Demons and Ghosts; as the crowing rooster mentioned, there were ancient demons that utilized this formation to conceal their aura and evade heavenly tribulation for a reason.

At this moment, the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique transformed into nine groups of Demon Fire, with nine flames and nine talismans defying the shackles of heaven and earth. The nine groups of flames seemed to want to take concrete shapes, attracting the heavenly tribulation.

Not only did the heavenly tribulation appear, but also a ghostly tribulation, a demon tribulation, and a monster tribulation. Unable to find their targets, they began attacking the mountains of corpses. Coupled with the red-gold pangolin’s destruction, even the mightiest formations could collapse.

Another thirty thousand mountains of corpses disintegrated as Li Hui remained in control, preventing a single trace of Yin energy and demonic energy from leaking. He announced, “Heart of Dao, what I’m doing now is precisely what you desire, so behave yourself; any slip-up will affect countless lives, and with your good heart, you shouldn’t want to see such results.”

The Heart of Dao helplessly allowed the Demonic Heart to take precedence.

Li Hui grinned, hastening the breaking of the formation; he intended to reach the center and see what the arrangements outside were worth, completely disregarding them.

Behind him turned into a desert of bone ash, the red-gold pangolin continued to consume, its form swelling to twenty thousand zhang, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

Within it, the energy was chaotic; it opened its mouth wide to inhale unknown numbers of giant skeletons and Bony Hands, and even nearly a hundred zombie demon beasts were getting closer to a patch of deep red demonic soil.
