Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 556 - 482: Nine-Marked Dao Soldier

Rumble!

The Five-Colored Divine Light soared into the sky, wave after wave, like a vast ocean, rolling with boundless tides, sweeping across the entire Inch of Mountains and Rivers, emitting a deafening roar!

"Hmm! This guy is too fierce."

The Inch of Mountains and Rivers suffered such a massive impact from the Five Elements Divine Light. The Little Ginseng Fruit immediately groaned, the red flowers and green leaves on its head wilting and drooping down, showing a look of pain, almost unable to stand.

"Don’t resist him, maintain the Inch of Mountains and Rivers, leave the rest to me."

Raising a hand, Qi Xiu injected a stream of Innate Primordial Qi into the Little Ginseng Fruit, helping to calm the turbulence within it. Qi Xiu stepped forward, the Hunyuan Daoist suddenly appeared behind him, pointing with the Jade Ruyi in his hand. Above his head, the Five-Colored Divine Canopy slowly turned, faintly chanting the Dao, absorbing all the sweeping Five-Colored Divine Light.

"What a domineering magical treasure, this Mr. Zhao truly has some heritage."

Staring at Zhao Qianqiu, who was holding the Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel, Liu Tai scratched his eyebrow and clicked his tongue.

After the Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel was completely refined, it immediately resonated with Zhao Qianqiu.

Five Elements Dao Charm burst forth from Zhao Qianqiu’s eyebrows.

Sweeping through heaven and earth, majestic and boundless.

His entire appearance and temperament underwent tremendous changes.

With eyes wide open in anger, sometimes indifferent and cold, sometimes mocking and sarcastic, sometimes smiling and nodding, as the Five Elements Dao Charm flowed, it seemed to evolve into five entirely different Dao Bodies!

Boom—

Zhao Qianqiu took a step forward, calm and indifferent, yet each step sounded like a giant bell, echoing through the heavens and universe.

The swirling Five-Colored Divine Light swept up a vast, boundless vortex, exhausting the mysteries of the Five Elements, scouring the whole Inch of Mountains and Rivers.

"What kind of magical treasure has he refined?"

Sheltered under the Five-Colored Divine Canopy upheld by Qi Xiu, the Shen Brothers looked bewildered. Despite having seen countless treasures, they had never witnessed a magical treasure with such immense power just upon being refined.

"The Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel... The Zhao Family has deep ties with the Middle-Aged Demon Sect..."

Staring intently at the Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel in Zhao Qianqiu’s left hand, composed of five ancient bronze tracks, Qi Xiu squinted slightly and muttered under his breath.

The Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel!

One of the sacred treasures of the Middle-Aged Demon Sect, Five Emperors Demon Sect.

This treasure is the most difficult to refine among the treasures of the Five Emperors Demon Sect.

Firstly, the five bronze tracks must be refined with Ancient Primal Copper containing all five elements.

Ancient Primal Copper has been exhausted since Ancient Times, finding even a fist-sized piece is difficult, let alone the tons required to refine the Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel.

Even with the Ancient Primal Copper to create the prototype of the Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel, this is only the first step.

Once the prototype is successfully refined, it must be tempered day and night with the ultimate essence of the Five Elements for a thousand years, allowing the Ancient Primal Copper to resonate with the Great Five Elements Path and become the foundation for it.

This is the second step.

And the third step is the most difficult of the entire process.

The Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel must be fueled by the blood and essence of five, or a multiple of five, Dao Experts to activate its power.

The more Dao Experts sacrificed, the greater the power of the finished Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel.

The limit is twenty-five!

Moreover, during the sacrifice, the one being sacrificed cannot have a trace of resistance or unwillingness, otherwise, the entire effort will be in vain, completely ruining this magical treasure.

"It seems he used the Three Corpse Brain Divine Parasite to succeed in refining this treasure!

And judging by the power of the Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel, he must have sacrificed the maximum of twenty-five Dao Experts!"

Seeing the domineering power of the Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel in Zhao Qianqiu’s hand, Qi Xiu frowned slightly.

First the Three Corpse Brain Divine Parasite, then the Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel, along with Zhao Ping and Zhao An being used as cannon fodder and sacrifices, practicing the Middle-Aged Demon Sect’s methods.

It’s clear that the Zhao Family’s relationship with the Middle-Aged Demon Path is far from ordinary.

As Zhao Qianqiu took a step forward, the tides of heaven and earth, the inversion of the Five Elements, arose and transformed into destructive force of incomparable terror, raging and surging.

Rumble—

The most direct recipient of this force was Qi Xiu, bearing all the pressure.

At the forefront of the Five Elements frenzy, the Five-Colored Divine Canopy atop his head stood resolute, withstanding all the pressure of the Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel.

Dong!

Zhao Qianqiu took another step forward.

The Five Elements Divine Light intensified a thousand-fold, resembling a Five Colored Sky Dome pressing down on Qi Xiu!

"A few insignificant beings, today you shall know what disparity means!"

In the center of a world filled with Five Elements Divine Light, Zhao Qianqiu, with five faces speaking simultaneously, his eyes blazing with overwhelming Five Colored Divine Light, his grand voice resounding like the dawn of the universe, the beginning of chaos, filled with boundless Dao Charm.\p>

Dong!

Another step landed!

The Five Elements frenzy bore down, Qi Xiu’s expression solemnly retreating half a step, the Five-Colored Divine Canopy above his head pressed lower, its radiance dimming significantly.

Too strong.

With the Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel refined to perfection, combined with his own mastery of the Five Elements Skill, Zhao Qianqiu’s strength had reached an unimaginable level.

Annihilation Millstone!

Rumble!

The Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel in Zhao Qianqiu’s hand suddenly emitted a bright glow, reversing Qiankun and the Five Elements, an endless blaze of Divine Light formed a Five Elements inversion, shrouded in annihilation power, a Five-Colored Great Mill appeared.

Rumble!

The Five-Colored Great Mill descended from the sky, trapping Qi Xiu and his companions firmly in the center. As the millstone slowly turned, terrifying and extreme annihilation power of the Five Elements surged forth, Qi Xiu groaned, the Five-Colored Divine Canopy above his head beginning to emit creaking compression sounds under the grinding of this Annihilation Millstone.

"Watch as I grind you all to dust!"

The majestic and icy voice exploded, the Five-Colored Millstone relentlessly grinding, the power of annihilation suddenly increasing, becoming even more terrifying.

In an instant, the Five-Colored Canopy was continually compressed by this tremendous force, almost closing in upon the heads of Qi Xiu and the others!

"Is it time for a life and death struggle..."

The formidable Five-Colored Millstone descended, the Shen Brothers along with Liu Tai all displayed a trace of solemnity on their faces.

The timid Little Ginseng Fruit had already hidden under Qi Xiu’s coat, and if Qi Xiu hadn’t instructed him to guard that Inch of Land and River, he would have already dissolved this small world and fled using the Innate Earth Technique.

"Grind us into dust?"

Maintaining his calm and indifferent demeanor, he slowly raised his clear eyes to look at Zhao Qianqiu, who was wielding the Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel, like the ruler of heaven and earth. Qi Xiu raised a finger, gently swayed:

"You’re not capable!"

Boom!

In an instant, boundless and awe-inspiring Five-Colored Divine Light erupted from Qi Xiu’s body, fiery Five-Colored Light Blooms ignited around him, surging magnificently, directly pushing back the overwhelming Five-Colored Millstone.

"Hmm?"

Gazing at Qi Xiu, whose aura had surged to an unimaginable level, Zhao Qianqiu furrowed his brows tightly, eyes filled with doubt:

"Are you burning your source!?"

"Indeed!"

With a loud and clear shout, Qi Xiu’s body was enveloped in dazzling Five-Colored Divine Radiance, his figure transcendent like an immortal, overshadowing the Five Elements Ocean that surged turbulently, illuminating all heavens!

"Daoist Qi, you..."

"Brother Qi?"

"Don’t worry, Qi has his strategies."

Slightly nodding to indicate Liu Tai and the others need not worry, Qi Xiu turned his gaze to Zhao Qianqiu:

"Prince, have you ever heard this saying?"

Slightly squinting his eyes, Zhao Qianqiu’s gaze shifted:

"What saying?"

Slowly raising his hands, the divine light within Qi Xiu shone a million times brighter, shaking the heavens and earth, infinite Five Elements Dao Charm unfolded with supreme power, seemingly connecting with an exceedingly ancient existence.

His figure gradually became transparent and ethereal, Qi Xiu seemed to meld into the vast divine light.

"Born to perish, a fleeting glory!"

Before the words had faded, Qi Xiu’s figure vanished completely, leaving behind the turbulent and vast divine light.

Upon hearing Qi Xiu’s words, Zhao Qianqiu sensed a hint of foreboding.

Impossible!

The prince’s Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel was already perfected; even if Qi Xiu burned his source, what could it do!

Just when Zhao Qianqiu thought it was his illusion, the Sky Dome violently shook, an immense power broke through the barrier of an Inch of Land and River, descending proudly upon this world.

An overwhelmingly majestic aura emanated from the crack, causing the heavens and earth to change color abruptly.

Suddenly, a towering Five-Colored Divine Mountain descended.

The summit soared into the clouds, resembling the spine that connects heaven and earth.

Each rock on the Five-Colored Divine Mountain radiated boundless Divine Light, its brilliance seemingly from the dawn of time, carrying unmatched majesty and mystery.

Great Five Elements Path, Nine-Marks Dao Soldier!

[Five Elements Mountain]

Feeling the suppression of the Five Elements Path within him, along with the Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel in his hands was suppressed mystically, Zhao Qianqiu’s expression finally changed.

"How is this possible, you just recently embodied the Dao, even if you burn your source, how could you summon the Nine-Marks Dao Soldier for assistance?"

Shouting in shock, Zhao Qianqiu looked resentful.

He had embodied the Five Elements Dao for over a millennium, sacrificing everything, yet he couldn’t gain such favor from the Great Five Elements Path, nor summon the Nine-Marks Dao Soldier for aid.

This newly embodied Daoist, on what basis?!

"Impossible? Why impossible, just because you can’t doesn’t mean I can’t.

Zhao Qianqiu, face the reality.

The path of the Five Elements.

You’re no match for me!"

You’re no match for me...

Not for me...

Not...

Qi Xiu’s calm and indifferent voice echoed in Zhao Qianqiu’s ears, his expression twisted as though struck at his weakest point.

"You’re spewing nonsense!"

Disregarding propriety, Zhao Qianqiu roared loudly, pouring all his Dao Yuan into the Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel in his hands.

Booming fiercely!

The five bronze tracks transformed into star chains, twenty-five ancient stars orbiting around them, weaving immense and endless radiant divine light, causing an Inch of Land and River to crack inch by inch, unable to restrain this horrifying force.

"Wipe them out!"

Hands held high, Zhao Qianqiu frantically drove the Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel, from finger to moment, one by one, ancient stars imbued with Five Elements Dao Charm burst through the void, carrying the power to obliterate the heavens and earth, charged fiercely at Qi Xiu.
