#427 - The killing begins
The restrictions of the Soul Forbidden Hall were exceptionally powerful, connected to the sea eye, causing the spiritual energy of the entire sea to converge, gradually凝结 into some essence.
There were a total of ninety-nine giant pillars, each containing half a jin of spiritual milk, their light shimmering, attracting attention.
His eyes were sharp, using the power of the Cauldron Bottom Dao Source to easily extract a portion of the essence.
Afterward, he cautiously probed with his divine sense and discovered that this essence was incomparably pure, without any processing, but he did not take it immediately, instead carefully sealing it in his pet ring.
At the same time, these giant pillars slowly moved in an elusive pattern, causing the distance between Li Chengfeng and the Fire Spirit Fairy and others to gradually increase.
Even Li Chengfeng's pillar shifted in another direction, and the demon and human teams began to fall into chaos.
Li Chengfeng remained calm, extracting all the ten-thousand-year spiritual milk one by one, concentrating it in a specific container, and then putting it into his storage ring.
Suddenly, a giant pillar exploded, revealing a ruddy-faced monk, who now looked terrified, obviously having stolen a large amount of ten-thousand-year spiritual milk.
At this moment, the powerful restriction force on the stone pillar transformed into a terrifying giant mouth, pouncing on him fiercely.
He flashed away, quickly transferring to another pillar, where a handsome Foundation Establishment cultivator was sitting cross-legged, a subordinate of Duan Ning.
Seeing this, the cultivator shouted sharply, "Get out! Didn't you hear the words of the Artifact Spirit? This stone pillar can only be enjoyed by one person. If two people touch it, the restriction will activate, and we will both die!"
However, the monk laughed in response, "Benefactor, leave immediately, or disaster will befall you."
After speaking, he struck out with his palm, light swirling around his palm, and a "卍" swastika rune suddenly erupted, heading straight for the delicate Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The handsome male cultivator immediately tried to cast a spell, gently waving his hand, and laid down a glittering silver curtain. These flying knives, made of rainforest fine wood, were as fast as lightning, dense and numerous, as many as dozens.
However, under the fierce impact of the swastika flames, they were all blown away one by one, and finally slammed hard on his head. He screamed miserably, and his body instantly shattered into pieces.
His storage bag was also nimbly snatched away by the monk, who stood firmly on the stone pillar, while the handsome male cultivator's body was devoured by the restrictions under the stone pillar.
The fat monk was expressionless, as if nothing had happened. He chanted a Buddhist prayer, "Amitabha, this benefactor's worldly ties are exhausted and should return to the Buddhist kingdom."
The other monks also chanted Buddhist prayers, which made Duan Ning burn with anger. His subordinate was so easily killed.
"Jingxin, you bald donkey, what do you mean by this? You must give me an explanation!" Duan Ning roared.
Jingxin Monk remained unmoved, smiling in response, "Amitabha, why must benefactor be angry?
Your subordinate's fate has run its course. I am merely allowing him to ascend to the Pure Land early, to avoid suffering.
According to fate, he still had ninety-nine eighty-one tribulations. If he does not suffer today, he will encounter them in the future."
Duan Ning roared, but did not attack. He understood that now was not the time, and the pillars were slowly rotating, seemingly ready to sink at any moment.
The rules of this crimson trial were cruel: if the pillar could not support you, you would need to kill the person on the pillar to save yourself.
Everyone witnessed this scene, including the demons, the Spirit Flame Fairy, and Duan Ning, and they all used spells to protect themselves, some offering talismans, others raising shields, each showing their own abilities.
Li Chengfeng, however, remained unmoved. The magic array slowly operating in his palm was the true purpose of his constant use of forbidden techniques along the way—to integrate his own formation into the Soul Forbidden Hall. Although he had not completely controlled it, he had grasped some key functions.
He had long known that this place was a trial, and there would inevitably be life and death, and the blood, souls, and resentment of the dead would all be absorbed by the Soul Forbidden Hall.
Therefore, Li Chengfeng used the Flower Shifting Technique to plant his own formation inside the hall, in order to absorb the souls of the dead and prevent the Soul Forbidden Hall from increasing its power.
The formation in his palm was the source of this soul-devouring power. He could not imagine what kind of consequences would occur if the power of the Soul Forbidden Hall went out of control.
Li Chengfeng was intercepted halfway, and that power failed to enter the Soul Forbidden Hall.
Although everyone was intelligent, they did not expect that for every person who fell, the power of the Soul Forbidden Hall would increase by one point.
Now, everyone was trapped and could only follow the rules of the Soul Forbidden Hall's Artifact Spirit.
Among them, some were fortunate enough to obtain ten-thousand-year spiritual milk, and some could not wait to consume it, seeking to improve their cultivation. At this moment, if they did not quickly replenish their spiritual power or maintain their peak state, they would likely follow in the footsteps of the previous handsome cultivator and die.
At this moment, a late-stage Foundation Establishment demon cultivator, a Horned Demon, whose horn shone brightly, approached Li Chengfeng slowly on a stone pillar.
He wore a cruel smile on his lips, his horn exuding a terrifying aura, and chuckled, "You dared to use restrictions to play with us, almost costing us our lives.
Later, I will definitely tear out your soul and chew it bit by bit, letting you taste endless pain."
As the stone pillar gradually approached, the demon cultivator's expression became more and more狰狞.
The moment the two stone pillars met, his stone pillar shattered, turning into a forbidden giant mouth to devour the Horned Demon Foundation Establishment cultivator, its sharp teeth terrifying.
The Horned Demon cultivator did not dare to be careless, his body sank, and a demon saber appeared in his hand, pointing directly at Li Chengfeng, revealing the demon saber's unrestrained momentum.
However, in his view, cultivators like Li Chengfeng, who were good at formations and restrictions, were not to be feared.
Faced with the sudden attack, Li Chengfeng remained calm, his black robe shook lightly, and suddenly, a sky full of Devouring Sky Insects swarmed out, forming a cloud of insects that devoured his opponent.
Screams rose in the air, then turned into a bloody mist. The Horned Demon cultivator disappeared without a trace, and the Devouring Sky Insects immediately flew back into Li Chengfeng's black robe.
All of this happened within three breaths, shocking the Foundation Establishment cultivators present, finally witnessing Li Chengfeng's power.
They realized that Li Chengfeng was not only powerful in forbidden techniques, but also raised many terrifying spirit insects.
This move made everyone胆寒, and even the Core Formation old monsters looked solemn, developing a trace of fear towards Li Chengfeng.
After all, the simultaneous appearance of five hundred Tier 2 Devouring Sky Insects was enough to震慑人心.
The Horned Demon Core Formation cultivator, Jiao Zhu, said coldly to Li Chengfeng, "Boy, you dare to attack my demon clan. I have remembered you, and I will definitely kill you."
His tone was森寒.
Li Chengfeng waved his hand in response, "You also saw that he was seeking his own death, so how can you blame me?
Your demon clan can't even protect yourselves, yet you dare to come here and speak shamelessly. I will definitely make sure you come and never return."
After speaking, Li Chengfeng ignored him.
The stone pillars rotated again, and cultivators were injured from time to time, but the Core Formation cultivators deliberately avoided it. They knew that fighting at this moment would only make the cannon fodder die first.
Suddenly, a monk's pillar approached Li Chengfeng. This person had a fat head, big ears, a face full of横肉, and a black mole at the corner of his mouth.
He put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the Insect Demon benefactor's days are numbered. Why not commit suicide, to avoid being punished by the Buddha and harming others for the rest of your life?"
Li Chengfeng looked him up and down and said with a smile, "Large body, developed limbs, simple mind, perfect for feeding my spirit insects."
The monk was furious upon hearing this, his body bursting with Buddhist light, and the Demon Subduing Pestle in his hand pointed directly at Li Chengfeng.
The two pillars were still far apart, but he had already swung the pestle to strike, the Demon Subduing Pestle bringing with it a strange wind, proving the Dao with force, the power of Vajra, like a mountain pressing down.
He laughed, "Insect Demon, prepare to die!"
Li Chengfeng suddenly opened his eyes, not moving at all, his fingers instantly covered with tiny scales, and with a flick of his finger, the Demon Subduing Pestle was actually震得偏离轨道, turning and砸去狠狠 at the monk.
The monk's eyes flashed fiercely, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The divine sense inside the Demon Subduing Pestle was shattered, and he lost control of it.
He wanted to dodge but it was too late. The Demon Subduing Pestle was extremely fast, and with a噗 sound, it pierced into his chest and out of his back, and the whole person fell under the stone pillar.
The stone pillar turned into a幽幽 giant mouth, devouring him. With a嗡 sound, two Devouring Sky Insects picked up his storage bag and flew back to Li Chengfeng, as if offering treasure.
Li Chengfeng's eyes were like lightning, sharp as knives, looking at the other monks, "Monks should be compassionate, lay down their butcher knives, and become Buddhas on the spot.
But you hold butcher knives, wanting to commit murder. I am punishing him on behalf of the Buddha. Do you have any objections?"
These words were profound and provocative.
