What… What is that thing? Shen Benyou stared at the bronze tree behind Li Huowang in shock.
Ao Mojie, now nothing more than a flattened piece of at, was impaled on the massive tree. Its broken flesh rained down from the impact as it landed on the tree branches on the lower levels.
The bronze tree that had been emitting a golden light was now covered by a layer of flesh. It was both bizarre and incredible to see.
This was the Dragon-Slaying God-Killing Array. Even though he was surrounded, Li Huowang still had one last card to play.
He was well aware that fighting in this place would be futile. Not only was he uncertain of his ability to defeat the twelve Grand Witches, but he also couldn't kill them since Death was no longer present.
Since they would act in the mortal realm, Li Huowang just needed to ascend and fight up there instead!
The twelve Grand Witches were flustered and charged towards him as they stepped on the strange iridescent liquid.
But Li Huowang had materialized the bronze tree, so it was too late to destroy the Dragon-Slaying God-Killing Array.
“Suisui! Hands!”
Li Sui sprouted four tentacles from Li Huowang’s armpits. Under his guidance, the four tentacles split and beca four arms instead.
Li Huowang recalled what Xuan Pin did to activate the array, copying his movents from mory.
As the array started, the skies beneath the dark cloud split apart. A dark rift appeared and was gradually being pulled apart by invisible hands.
Li Huowang saw the path to the Baiyu Capital!
Li Sui extended her head out of Li Huowang’s robes using one of her tentacles. She held the bronze coin sword with her left tentacle and three talismans on her right tentacle.
As the tentacles moved swiftly, she impaled the three talismans using the bronze coin sword and started chanting according to Li Huowang’s instructions.
“Walk barefoot, step on the Heavenly Gates with haste. The dark aura of the demons approaches Nanyang …”
As Li Sui chanted, Li Huowang, the Lion Dance Palace, and the remaining Ao Jing Sect mbers all grew dragon scales and claws, and their bodies started to grow.
Two twisted dragon horns grew out from Li Huowang’s forehead. They grew longer and blood trailed down his face.
Ao Mojie, the Dragon Vein that was impaled onto the bronze tree, slowly dried up. It looked like it was on the verge of death. If Death hadn’t disappeared, it might’ve really died.
Just then, the Dharma Sect attacked. The seas around them were completely black, and a large wave crashed into Li Huowang and the rest.
The wave didn’t do anything. They remained unscathed as the wave retreated. Thanks to the Dragon Qi, a once formidable technique had beco utterly ineffective against them.
The dark clouds had been split in half, and a dark circle rotated slowly above Li Huowang. It was incredibly far, but the horrific aura emanating from it made everyone want to run.
“The Ox Tail Gate is open! Let’s go!” Peng Longteng appeared beside Li Huowang and threw him high up towards the black rift in the air.
The twelve Grand Witches also flew upward, trying to intercept him.
Li Huowang smiled when he saw their frantic actions. They panicked the mont they realized I was going to the Baiyu Capital to nip this in the bud.
That also indirectly proved that his thod was correct. He needed to head upwards to deal with the issue from the root!
Several artifacts and techniques crashed into Li Huowang’s body, but the Dragon Qi shielded him from all harm without fail.
One of the Grand Witches tried to block Li Huowang from the front when a Dragon Dance imitating a real dragon appeared from below and wrapped the Grand Witch around its body. “Go! We will stop them!”
Shen Benyou stood at the crown of the bronze tree. She removed her clothes, skin, and finally her flesh. Each layer of hers was connected by the blood vessels.
She bathed herself in the pain and took out a book—the Ascension Volu.
“I owe you guys one!” Li Huowang shouted. Peng Longteng appeared once more before throwing Li Huowang towards the black rift.
With the Lion Dance Palace and the Ao Jing Sect buying him ti, he flew faster and faster as he approached Ox Tail Gate. “Faster! Faster! I need to be faster!”
He barely entered the rift in the skies when it sealed up. Rain poured down once more.
After passing through the clouds, Li Huowang continued flying upwards into the star-filled skies.
He crossed through the stars and saw so familiar faces. They were the strangely mutated horrors that he had seen once before.
He saw the flesh Bodhisattva still siphoning sothing from its surroundings with a pink tentacle wriggling at the front of its body.
He saw a dull ash-red maggot with sli covering its body. There were incense sticks stuck all over it, and it expanded and contracted rhythmically.
He also saw the God of Happiness and the Immortal Families.
Li Huowang ca here once before, but this ti it was different. All of them scattered and made way for Li Huowang after seeing him.
He wasn’t certain if they were afraid of him or the Dragon Qi on his body.
Li Huowang sped up because this was not the Baiyu Capital. He reached the deep part of the stars and saw a chaotic, colorless jade plate suspended in the air.
The jade plate was suspended by sothing hiding in the depths of the darkness, wriggling and moving.
The mountain-sized jade plate bobbed from ti to ti. There were three large contorted words on it: Ox Tail Gate.
But this ti, it was different. Li Huowang saw that the two serpents holding the gate were gone.
There were also several cracks on the jade plate. Sothing black was trying to take over the Baiyu Capital!
Li Huowang realized that even the Ox Tail Gate was affected. His heart sank.
He shuddered whenever he thought the Ox Tail Gate could shatter and spill unspeakable horrors into the mortal realm.
“Thankfully I’m still not too late! I’m here now!” He looked inside the jade plate and saw nothing but primal chaos.
Li Huowang wasn’t sure what would happen if he entered now, but he was clear that he had to do it one way or another.
“Everyone, hang on! I’m here to help!” Li Huowang shouted into the jade plate to notify the Simings before running into the Ox Tail Gate.
