Divine Seal: Fire Kirin Fly Template, shattering the Demon God Pillar!

Chapter 84 One Palm Annihilates an Eighth-Rank Being, Eternal Slumber
Time slipped away quietly in the tedious yet fulfilling practice.

A day or two passed.

All members of the Fire Cloud Demon Hunter Team were able to withstand the impact of the fierce roar for a considerable period of time without changing their expressions.

The group successfully besieged the enemy stronghold and attacked reinforcements.

They wiped out a squad of thirty people led by a seventh-tier demon lord, the lowest of whom were sixth-tier archdemons.

……

A violent surge of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from the depths of the cave!

boom--

The fluctuations were violent and chaotic, filled with an aura of bloodlust and destruction, as if an ancient ferocious beast was awakening.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely shrill scream pierced the sky, only to be abruptly cut off.

Everyone felt a chill and turned their gazes toward Li Hao.

Li Hao's expression remained calm, as if he had already anticipated all of this.

He spoke softly, his voice clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"It seems our guests have arrived."

He stood up and glanced at the crowd.

"Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

"Captain!"

Wang Yuanyuan stepped forward, her face full of worry.

"What's inside is probably not simple. We'll go with you!"

"Yes, Commander, we are a team!"

Sima Xian also spoke in a muffled voice, slamming the giant punitive hammer heavily onto the ground with a dull thud.

Li Hao looked at them, a hint of warmth in his eyes.

He shook his head.

"I can sense that what's inside is beyond your current capabilities."

His tone left no room for doubt.

"Your mission is to hold this place and eliminate any survivors who have been drawn here by the commotion deep within the cave."

"Remember, put the skills we just learned into practice in real combat. This is the best way to hone your skills."

After saying that, Li Hao didn't linger. With a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the dark depths of the cave.

As everyone watched his disappearing figure, although they were still worried, they felt even more unconditional trust.

They knew that their commander never did anything without being certain of success.

……

The deeper one goes into the cave, the more terrifying the howling that originates from the soul becomes.

In the air, the gray-black energy almost solidified into a tangible form.

Countless twisted vengeful spirits roamed and howled within, forming a realm of death.

However, these vengeful spirits are powerful enough to make even a sixth-tier expert lose their composure.

When they came within three feet of Li Hao, it was as if they had encountered ice and snow under the scorching sun.

It vanished silently in a shriek.

Li Hao's steps did not falter in the slightest. His gaze pierced through layers of soul energy, looking towards the source of the fierce roar.

He put away the exploration gem needed for the mission.

Because he has already seen what he is looking for.

A tower.

An ancient tower, entirely constructed of gray-white rock, stands quietly at the deepest part of the cave.

The tower is about 100 meters high and has seven stories. The base of the tower is octagonal.

Every edge is engraved with intricate and ancient spiritual patterns, exuding an aura of timelessness and desolation.

An indescribable sense of oppression emanated from the tower.

It's as if it's not a building, but a giant that has been sleeping for thousands of years.

Simply standing there is enough to make the world pale in comparison.

Above the gate, above the lintel, hangs a thick stone slab.

On the stone slab, five large characters are engraved in an ancient script.

"Eternal slumber".

Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.

found it.

However, just as he was about to push open the heavy stone door, a huge figure blocked his way.

It was a giant demon that was over five meters tall.

Its entire body skin was a strange crimson red, like flowing lava.

On its surface, dark red energy patterns flowed slowly, radiating a scorching and ominous aura.

Its eyes were hollow and scarlet, filled with madness and chaos, clearly indicating that it had lost its mind.

At its feet lay the corpses of more than a dozen demons of its own kind, lying haphazardly.

Their deaths were gruesome, as if they had been torn apart by some violent force.

"Eighth Rank, Crimson Blood Demon Commander."

Li Hao's gaze fell on the demon, and he immediately judged its identity and strength.

This is an extremely rare demon race, born with both fire and darkness attributes.

The attack is accompanied by terrifying burning and corrosive effects.

What's more troublesome is that, judging from its current state, it is clearly being controlled by some kind of secret method, turning it into a puppet that only knows how to kill.

"Roar--!"

Seemingly sensing Li Hao's arrival, the Crimson Blood Demon leader suddenly raised its head and let out a deafening roar. The next moment, its thick arms suddenly swung, transforming into two enormous bone blades burning with dark red flames!

boom!
The ground beneath its feet suddenly exploded.

Its massive body transformed into a red afterimage, carrying overwhelming ferocity, and charged fiercely towards Li Hao!

A scorching, strong wind rushed towards us, carrying a foul stench of sulfur mixed with blood.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed, but he did not choose to confront the opponent directly.

He knew in his heart that the cave's structure was not stable.

If I were to go all out, I could certainly kill him with a single blow.

However, the terrifying aftershocks of that energy could very well cause the entire cave to collapse.

By then, not only will the mission fail, but I will also be buried alive here, which would be a huge loss.

In the blink of an eye, Li Hao's figure became erratic.

His footwork was mysterious, like a leaf falling in a storm.

He calmly dodged and weaved amidst the raging storm of attacks from the Crimson Blood Demon Commander.

Clang! Clang! Clang!
Each time the massive bone blade swung down, it struck nothing but empty air.

Deep, charred cuts were left on the hard rock face, scattering fragments of rock and sparks.

The repeated missed attacks completely enraged the monster, which had lost its mind.

"Roar!!!"

The Crimson Blood Demon Commander let out an even more ferocious roar, and the dark red energy patterns on his body instantly shone brightest!

Innate Skill - Bloodlust Frenzy!

In an instant, its body swelled up again.

Strength and speed were greatly enhanced at this moment.

The attacks became increasingly frenzied, chaotic, yet utterly deadly!
Li Hao raised an eyebrow slightly.

He could sense that the other party's physical strength had reached an extremely terrifying level.

It is probably enough to withstand a full-force attack from a powerhouse of the same level without suffering any damage.

Coupled with this fearless and reckless fighting style, if an ordinary seventh-tier expert were here, they would probably be torn to shreds in a single exchange.

"It can't be delayed any longer."

Li Hao made a decision.

To deal with such an irrational puppet, we must strike it dead in one blow and completely destroy it in order to truly stop it.

"It seems that I'll have to use that trick to deal with you."

Li Hao's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Let me see if your body's fire resistance is stronger, or if my Fiery Cloud Technique is superior!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Li Hao stopped dodging.

He spotted an opening and moved like a ghost to close in.

With his right hand, fingers joined like a knife, he precisely deflected the bone blade aimed at his head.

The middle door is wide open!

It's now!

A glint flashed in Li Hao's eyes, and a ball of crimson-gold spiritual energy suddenly lit up on his left palm.

Like a tiny sun, it radiates a terrifyingly high temperature that makes one's heart tremble!
Fiery Cloud Palm!
Without the slightest hesitation, he delivered a palm strike close to the chest of the Crimson Blood Demon Commander!
boom--!
A deep, resounding thud, like the beating of a drum!

That seemingly light palm strike unleashed an unimaginable and terrifying power!
The Crimson Blood Demon Commander's massive body was struck as if by a massive hammer blow, and he was instantly sent flying backward.

A deep trench, more than ten meters long, was plowed into the hard ground.

Finally, it crashed heavily into the distant rock wall, causing a violent tremor.

However, to everyone's horror, despite enduring such a heavy blow, the Crimson Blood Demon Commander shook its head and got up from the ground again.

There was only a shallow palm print on its chest, which didn't even break its tough skin.

Its ferocity seems to have not diminished in the slightest!

"Roar!"

Its scarlet eyes were fixed on Li Hao, and it charged towards Li Hao again with a burst of strength in its limbs!

This time, Li Hao did not move.

He simply stood there quietly, his hands behind his back, watching the monster getting closer and closer with an indifferent expression.

It was as if the eighth-tier demon before them was nothing more than a moth drawn to a flame.

A strange scene happened.

The Crimson Blood Demon Commander, which was charging wildly, began to slow down uncontrollably.

One step, two steps...

Its steps grew heavier and more difficult, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on it.

Its massive body began to tremble violently.

Fine, reddish-gold cracks began to appear on the flowing lava-like skin of his body.

A crimson-gold light shone through the cracks, growing brighter and brighter, more and more dazzling!
"Roar...uh..."

The Crimson Blood Demon Commander let out a powerless roar filled with pain and resentment.

It stretched out its huge claws, seemingly wanting to grab the enemy in front of it and tear him to pieces.

However, its journey ended abruptly, stopping three meters away from Li Hao.

next second.

puff.

A soft sound.

Its enormous and indestructible body silently turned into a pile of flying ashes in front of Li Hao, scattering with the wind.

One palm strike, instantly killing an eighth-level expert!
