Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 678 - 566: None of You Will Leave Today!

In an instant, the boundless sea of Karmic Fire Red Lotus spread to every corner in all directions.

The ocean of fire erupting from Hunyuan Palace was vast and imposing.

The fierce ghosts, still struggling and screaming, were engulfed by the great fire and instantly turned to flying ash, vanishing into nothingness.

"Where did he find so much Karmic Fire Red Lotus!"

It was unexpected that Qi Xiu had a Karmic Fire Red Lotus Seed in his hand. As the overwhelming Karmic Fire Red Lotus burst forth, the Hell Path True Monarchs turned pale with fright. They immediately used various techniques to dodge the burning of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, utilizing the Small World Technique Endless Ghostly Shadows.

"No wonder he dares to stay alone to negotiate with us; he was already holding such a trump card.

Does he intend to perish with us?!"

Looking at Qi Xiu standing calmly in the middle of the sea of flames, the Hell Path True Monarchs were filled with suspicion and fear.

Karmic Fire Red Lotus can burn away all karma.

If they were burned to death by this divine fire, they would also be unable to rely on the power of the Hell Path Divine Artifact to resurrect.

Therefore, they suspected that Qi Xiu intended to stake everything to perish together with them.

"The divine artifact is about to awaken; if it can reemerge, we might harness its power and live another life.

Exchanging one junior for our seventy-two True Monarchs isn't worth it, definitely not worth it."

The terrifying divine might of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus awoke the Hell Path True Monarchs, immersed in slaughter and destruction.

Or perhaps the pain of being scorched by the Karmic Fire Red Lotus led to unusual changes in their hearts.

In any case, the Hell Path True Monarchs no longer wanted to fight Qi Xiu to the death.

"Think of a way to break open this small world!"

With a loud shout, the seventy-two Hell Path True Monarchs surged their cultivations. In an instant, cold, dark voids full of endless hellish aura soared into the air, gathering their boundless power.

Faintly, a towering mountain, its surface shining with numerous silver lights, descended and was ushered in.

Eighteen Layers of Hell—Knife Mountain Hell

As Knife Mountain Hell descended, an overwhelming blade aura swept out, shattering the surrounding space-bounding void at an incredible speed, intending to forcibly cut apart the Hunyuan Palace.

"Want to leave? Today none of you will escape."

With a gentle lift of his eyes, Qi Xiu slowly raised his right palm, divine radiance flowing between his fingers, and the immense Dao ambiance soared without end.

Though the Karmic Fire Red Lotus was unstoppable, its efficiency in facing the Hell Path True Monarchs who wanted to flee was somewhat lacking.

The raging karmic fire aimed to instill fear in their souls full of slaughter and destruction.

Only then could the following techniques be executed effectively.

"Mysterious array spinning, the Five Elements converge.

Seal as defense, flag as command!

Southern Ground Flame Light Banner!

Come!"

Reciting the great Dao's aphorisms, Qi Xiu rapidly activated his Palm Dao Holy Technique. Beneath his feet, the Great Luo Five Elements Mysterious Array tore through the suppression of Endless Ghostly Shadows, dazzling Five Elements Divine Light transformed, unfolding an unprecedented mysterious array.

In the next instant!

A bright red light rose from the center of the mysterious array.

As the brightness dimmed, a flag measuring one foot, seven inches long, colored in dark red and embroidered with red lotuses, exuding the aura of Nanming Li Fire, with a phantom of a fire lotus above, and burning lotus blooms, landed in Qi Xiu's hand.

It was the Southern Ground Flame Light Banner, one of the Innate Five Directions Flags.

"The Great Five Elements Path can transform into the Five Directions Great Seal.

It can also form the Five Directions Great Flag.

Seal as defense, flag as command.

Ground Flame Light Array, rise!"

Holding the Southern Ground Flame Light Banner, Qi Xiu's momentum surged once again. Behind him, the Hunyuan Daoist manifested, also holding a Ground Flame Light Banner!

Amidst the vast and mighty aura, there seemed to faintly emerge a trace of the Primordial Spirit True Honor's pressure!

"This is... Palm Dao Holy Technique?!"

"How is this possible!"

"How can the Dao Body Realm cultivate the Palm Dao Holy Technique? This is wrong, this is wrong!"

"It's bad; is this boy pretending to be a Primordial Spirit True Honor to assassinate us?"

"Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, break this Small World Technique!"

If the appearance of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus had made the Hell Path True Monarchs feel fear and suspicion, no longer as mad and wanton as before,

then Qi Xiu's use of Palm Dao Holy Technique completely shattered their last trace of hope!

The young Daoist in front of them was utterly indomitable!

That was the Palm Dao Holy Technique!

Having already summoned the Palm Dao Holy Technique, Qi Xiu naturally had no intention of letting these devil heads, dead for tens of thousands of years, but still wishing to cause chaos, have a chance to escape.

As the Southern Ground Flame Light Banner swung in his hand, Qi Xiu's feet turned the Great Luo Five Elements Formation, and the original mysterious array's patterns that radiated with five-colored divine light visibly became fiery red and scorching. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

This small world was already filled with the rampant Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Now, Qi Xiu activated the Ground Flame Light Array, pouring fuel on the fire to burn these old hell path devils alive.

Boom—

With the support of the Southern Ground Flame Light Banner, the initially slow-spreading Karmic Fire Red Lotus suddenly erupted like being doused with oil, raising towering pillars of terrifying fire.

In the void, they transformed into one dazzling, slowly swaying red lotus.

Rumble—

One by one, the red lotuses hung high in the void, and circles of scorching vigor swept over, tearing through everything, reducing all to ashes where they passed.

Though the Karmic Fire Red Lotus is known for burning away all karma, its temperature is also extremely terrifying; otherwise, it wouldn't become one of the Heaven and Earth Divine Fires.

In the surging ocean of fire, it wasn't long before some Hell Path True Monarchs couldn't withstand it, crushed by the purest vigor, exploding into ash amidst plaintive cries!

"Unbearable! Run quickly!"

Witnessing their companions' deaths, the remaining Hell Path True Monarchs were even more fearful, roaring and screaming, unleashing all their vigor to smash the Hunyuan Palace before them, desperate to escape.

"Qi said, today none of you will escape."

Endless Primordial Qi poured into the Southern Ground Flame Light Banner in his hand, and the flag, transformed by the Palm Dao Holy Technique, erupted divine light again.

"Scourge! We may die, but we will curse you!"

The Karmic Fire Red Lotus, continuously enhanced by the Southern Ground Flame Light Banner, became vivid and clear.

With a gentle sway of the lotus petals, terrifying might swept over fiercely.

Under the crushing force of two Primordial Spirit-level powers, these Hell Path True Monarchs had no chance to defend, not even a chance to scream, before they were burned to ash.

Within just a few breaths.

The seventy-two Prison Pillars of Hell Path, once soaring and intending to bury the elders of Shenxiao Sect and Qi Xiu with Endless Ghostly Shadows, were reduced to just a few remnants.

All heavily wounded by the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, with black smoke billowing, teetering, and about to dissipate into nothingness.

"I'm unwilling... I'm not reconciled. Clearly, the divine artifact has revived... Clearly, we had another chance...

Why did you appear, why!"

Most of his body turned to ash, Su Buqing, lying on the ground, no longer as handsome as before, glared with resentment and malice at Qi Xiu who appeared before him, questioning repeatedly.

Looking down at the Hell Path True Monarch clinging to life, Qi Xiu slowly raised his right foot:

"You can ponder this question slowly when you reach your favorite hell."

Step—
