Chapter 0048: Beyond Calculation

As soon as the Five Hells Divine Cauldron was released, it grew to the size of a small mountain. In terms of volume, it was no less formidable than the two sacred realm magical beasts, Piel and Endi. A golden light burst forth, followed by a hum. With a thought from Huang Long’s mind, a swarm of sword-like beams shot out from the surface of the divine cauldron.

The demons let out screams of agony, terror, and fury. Before heading to hell, Huang Long had reforged the Five Hells Divine Cauldron, making it far more powerful than the Thunder Gathering Vessel.

The journey to hell was perilous, so Huang Long had made thorough preparations. He knew his strength was still too weak, and these magical artifacts were his greatest assets. Yet, he still hoped to wipe out all these demons in one fell swoop. After all, among them were many asuras who were equivalent to human level 8 or even 9.

Scanning with his mental senses, Huang Long counted no less than fifty such asuras. For now, his priority was to kill the other demons first. Relying on his Five Elements magic and the power of several top-tier magical artifacts, he was confident he could do it.

The demons who charged at him were caught off guard by this human child. Filled with terror, they were also filled with anger and humiliation. The demon race revered violence, bloodshed, and the pride of the strong, always believing themselves superior to humans. Now, their entire group was being defeated by a single human child—something that would surely bring shame upon the demon royal family’s guards if reported back.

Boom! Boom! Fueled by anger, those powerful asuras struck back. The Yakshas who survived the first attack also rushed at Huang Long without fear. Dark demonic energy swirled from all directions, encircling him.

With four or five hundred demons attacking at once, even mighty beasts like Piel and Endi showed signs of distress. From afar, they could sense the overwhelming destructive force aimed at their master. Even they would be severely injured if struck by such a blow.

“Master, be careful!” Piel, Endi, and Bog cried out.

But their worries were unnecessary. Facing the onslaught of demons, Huang Long smirked coldly, his eyes gleaming with fury. In an instant, he moved swiftly through the gaps in the demons’ attacks, simultaneously using his hands to control the Five Hells Divine Cauldron and the Thunder Gathering Vessel to launch attacks.

Though protected by the Green Lotus Flag, Huang Long wasn’t arrogant enough to stand there and let those demons attack him relentlessly.

However, it was precisely because of the protection of the Green Lotus Flag that Huang Long could move through the attacks of the demons unharmed. Otherwise, under the siege of so many asuras, even a casual strike would be beyond Huang Long’s current capacity to withstand, as his physical body was not yet strong enough.

Still, even so, after several attacks, the Green Lotus energy emitted by the flag protecting Huang Long became weaker and more transparent, on the verge of being broken, with the flag itself trembling dangerously. Seeing this, Huang Long instantly summoned his protective robe. A purple light flashed, and an Eight Trigrams Purple Immortal Robe appeared on his body. The robe’s Eight Trigrams patterns were dynamic, drawing in surrounding spiritual energy, which flowed around to shield Huang Long completely.

The Eight Trigrams Purple Immortal Robe was the robe of Chi Jingzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan School, and a top-tier defensive spiritual treasure. Even skilled Golden Immortals found it difficult to break through its defenses. Huang Long’s robe was crafted based on it. Of course, due to limitations in materials and spiritual power, its strength paled in comparison.

As for the Group of Immortals Pavilion in Huang Long’s forehead, it was not summoned—reserved as a last resort and only used when necessary. Moreover, with his current spiritual power, he could not activate so many treasures at once. Although his spiritual power was nearly at the level of the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm, it was still too low. Even after several attacks from these top-tier treasures, his spiritual power was nearly depleted.

Fortunately, after five or six attacks from the Five Pits Divine Cauldron and Thunder Gathering Vessel, about half of the surrounding demons had been eliminated, reducing Huang Long’s pressure significantly. Gradually, the dozen or so asuras, whose strength was equivalent to that of human Level 9 warriors, saw that Huang Long’s attacks posed no real threat and became even more aggressive.

Seizing the opportunity as they closed in, Huang Long exhaled, unleashing his Innate True Fire upon them. Unlike fire elements in fire-based magic, the Innate True Fire had far greater damage and durability, and it was especially effective against the demonic energy of demons. Though it couldn’t kill these asuras, it was enough to overwhelm them. Caught off guard, the asuras screamed in pain as the fire touched them.

If Huang Long’s cultivation reached the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm, the Innate True Fire would evolve into the Samadhi True Fire, further increasing its power to the point where even Level 9 warrior asuras could no longer resist it. While Huang Long fought fiercely, the two beasts and the two great asuras were also engaged in a brutal battle.

Compared to the Huanglong area, the battles among the powerful warriors from the Four Sacred Lands were even more intense. Within hundreds of miles around, some small islands floating on the sea began to crack and sink beneath the attacks of these warriors. Rocks tumbled down, and waves surged violently! The advanced magical beasts living in the vicinity of the Death Sea had already fled in droves. However, despite the fierce battles, the warriors from the Four Sacred Lands avoided approaching the direction of the Sky Blue Python Ox, allowing its evolution to proceed undisturbed. The evolution of the Sky Blue Python Ox was at a critical stage; though it was extremely anxious, it knew that stopping now would risk backlash from the laws of the elements, making further evolution even harder. Its giant, ball-like cow eyes could only watch helplessly as the battle raged on. As for the fierce battle between Borg and Princess Anlei of the Demon Clan on the diamond-like giant ship, it was equally intense. Although Borg was a mage from a Sacred Land, his physique was not as weak as that of other mages. Thanks to the elixirs from Huanglong over the past few months, his physical strength had approached that of a Sacred Land warrior. Though it wasn’t as strong as Princess Anlei’s demonic physique, it was not far behind. Coupled with his status as a mid-level mage from a Sacred Land and the protective robes crafted by Huanglong, he managed to gain the upper hand after a fierce struggle. If it weren’t for the several Asuras around Princess Anlei, who were equivalent to human Level 9 warriors, she would have already been defeated. Lightning flashed, true flames filled the sky, along with screams, roars, giant waves, and a pervasive aura of magic. Golden light scattered as waves of immense power radiated out, alerting some forces on the islands. Yet, despite being alarmed, the overwhelming strength of the warriors from the Sacred Lands kept these people at bay. Princess Anlei was forced to dodge left and right by Borg, filled with fear and anger. When she glanced at Huanglong and the two Asuras fighting each other, she became even more panicked. All of this was beyond her expectations. She had thought the two Asuras could easily handle those two beasts, that Huanglong would be utterly destroyed by the demons, and that this old mage from a Sacred Land posed no threat to her. But now, everything was beyond her calculations. What should she do?! Retreat? But looking at the Sky Blue Python Ox about to complete its evolution, she felt utterly unwilling to give up!
