Mutated Tao

The deformed freaks in theater costumes with painted faces stood there, singing as if they were on a stage rather than on a life-or-death battlefield.

Some wore flat shoes, while others were on stilts, much taller than the other deformed beings. This scene was as horrifying as the demons in the eighteen levels of hell.

Li Huowang felt a chill as he looked at these grotesque actors—the so-called army of Unspeakable.

Just facing two of them had been difficult enough, but now there were so many.

Li Huowang now realized how laughable he had been for thinking he had no rivals. In this bizarre world, there would always be strange things he had never seen before!

Li Huowang turned slightly and looked at the people of the Great Qi people behind him. He felt a pang of bitterness when he saw their confident and indignant expressions.

If it were anything else, perhaps these people might have been helpful. However, against the army of Unspeakable, they were essentially walking to their deaths.

“Ah~~ya~~ya~~ya~~”

Li Huowang watched the army of Unspeakable make their appearances, and he silently cursed. He raised his hand and shouted, “Fire!”

He wanted to try to fight back, even if he might not win. He refused to surrender easily!

That wasn’t all. Li Huowang gripped the spine sword tightly and plunged it into his chest. He pulled hard and extracted his internal organs.

Five volumes of the Profound Records were laid on the ground, and they caught each of his organs in turn.

“Wood liver! Earth spleen! Metal lung! Water kidney! Fire heart! Five Elements Intercalation!”

The bamboo slips of the Profound Records wriggled and transformed into worms, rapidly filling Li Huowang’s chest.

The flames on his body continued to burn and wrap around the worms, causing them to scream and sizzle as they burned.

At this moment, Li Huowang and the worms were interconnected, and he could feel what they felt.

He stomped his feet and roared before charging at the army of Unspeakable, with his body and the screaming worms ablaze.

As Li Huowang was about to collide with them, he grabbed his ribs and pulled them outward before thrusting himself forward. The burning worms scattered from his chest like flowers descending from the heavens.

Li Huowang was currently an empty shell—the worms were his true form.

The densely packed worms descended upon them like raindrops, their mouths wide open. They wormed their way into their costumes while the flames rapidly spread and set fire to anything that could catch fire. ŔÂƝ𝐎₿Ɛṣ

As the costumes caught fire, the creatures flailed their long sleeves and desperately tried to extinguish the flames. The sea of fire quickly spread.

Just as Li Huowang was about to unleash his fury, the situation suddenly changed.

The other deformed figures who had not attacked them now rushed in. Their flowing sleeves and short spears brushed against the worms, and Li Huowang immediately felt something missing from them.

When the worms stopped screaming and became still, he immediately understood. They had removed all the pain from the worms! The army of Unspeakable had directly removed all the pain!

At that moment, Li Huowang finally understood what Zhuge Yuan had meant by touching the heavens and changing the Daos. These beings could interact with any Heavenly Dao, whether it was his “Truth” cultivation or the Pain from the Ao Jing Sect. They could treat them as manipulable objects.

If something involved supernatural powers from Heavenly Daos, they could effortlessly neutralize it.

With the pain removed, the Ao Jing Sect’s ritual was now meaningless.

The worms were now free from pain and fell one by one, their flames extinguished. With that, they lay motionless on the ground.

Several deformed actors in green stepped forward and sang mournfully in a mocking tone. “Only waiting for someone to offer sacrifices to the green tomb, pity the souls trapped for eternity. Add another chapter to remember you. They will always accompany me.”

Impossible. Even the Five Elements Intercalation doesn’t work? Li Huowang didn’t want to accept it, but he realized the harsh reality. It was clear that they were beyond his current capabilities.

With their strength, it was no wonder they managed to betray the Heavenly Mater and steal her Heavenly Dao.

"Ji Zai, Ji Zai!" Li Huowang roared at his own reflection in the pool of blood, yet nothing happened. The final glimmer of hope he had clung to in this critical moment had proven futile.

Li Huowang gripped the spine sword with his fiery hand and felt a deep sense of helplessness. His “Truth” cultivation, the Ao Jing Sect’s rituals, and Ji Zai had all proven useless. He had no more cards to play.

This was the first time he had encountered such a formidable enemy since leaving the Zephyr Temple.

What to do? If I can’t fight them, do I have to retreat and return to the Great Liang?

Li Huowang turned to look at the massive crowd of people from the Great Qi behind him, feeling a surge of reluctance.

He knew that if he retreated to the Great Liang, the army of Unspeakable would likely wipe out all these people. If they were all gone, the Great Qi would truly become a mere waypoint for the Tianchen Kingdom.

“Benefactor Li, don’t panic! The monks from Righteous Monastery have all arrived.”

Li Huowang forced a bitter smile. What good would Righteous Monastery do? The monks’ blood and flesh Heavenly Daos would also be suppressed by the army of Unspeakable’s strange abilities.

He turned to face the army of Unspeakable. They appeared unhurried, standing there as if waiting for the people of the Great Qi to surround them, much like a cat waiting by a door for a mouse.

“Have the military go in front!” Li Huowang drew the spine sword again. Since supernatural abilities were ineffective, it was time for a direct confrontation.

He wasn’t sure if it would work, but there were no other options. It was a fight to the death.

If both the Great Qi and himself were unable to resist the army of Unspeakable, then the Great Liang would also be in danger. This situation could pose an even bigger crisis than the one caused by the Dharma Sect.

As Li Huowang gritted his teeth and prepared to charge forward, someone called out excitedly from behind, saying, “Bodhisattva Zhuge! We’ve come to help you!”

Li Huowang recognized the voice—it was Feng Bawan. As his voice rang out, a stream of False Qi gradually flowed into Li Huowang’s dantian.

Feng Bawan's voice prompted others to join in. Cheers and words of encouragement began to rise.

Everyone was excited and proud to see their side becoming more numerous than the enemy, with the advantage clearly on their side.

As they shouted, streams of False Qi continued to flow into Li Huowang’s dantian.

What use is this False Qi to me? Can the tricks of the Sitting Oblivion Dao help me against these beings?!

He froze suddenly, feeling the dense False Qi in his heart and a sudden, unexpected thought crossed his mind.
