While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

Valak roared, and the two-headed dragon spewed out a large cloud of black mist, attempting to block Cao Kun's view.

Cao Kun stood still, not in a hurry to give chase.

He looked at the dark shape that had returned to its original state, his brows furrowing slightly.

call--!

The originally scattered black mist suddenly changed its direction.

Instead of spreading outwards, they converged wildly towards the center of Valac, like water in a bathtub with the plug pulled.

It's not just the darkness in the room.

Through the broken roof, you can see that the night sky outside is also distorted.

The entire town of Enfield at night seemed to be transformed into a giant funnel by this house.

Endless yin energy and darkness, penetrating walls and passing through houses, even ignoring spatial distance, continuously poured into Valak's broken body.

"Sizzle..."

The holes in Valak's body, blasted by lightning, healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The originally illusory shadow quickly became solid, and even developed a metallic luster similar to obsidian.

The two-headed dragon's shattered head grew back, even larger and more ferocious than before.

The oppressive aura that had just been suppressed has not only returned, but is even rising steadily.

It even overshadowed the golden light emanating from Cao Kun.

Cao Kun frowned even more deeply.

He looked at the continuous stream of black energy surging around him, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

"I see."

Cao Kun whispered, "This is your trump card."

He saw through it.

The rules in movies don't entirely apply here.

Knowing only a name might cause some disturbance, but it's impossible to banish it outright.

The real Valak is based on darkness within a certain area.

As long as there is darkness within this area, it will have a continuous supply of energy.

It is immortal.

To kill it, you would have to instantly dispel the darkness of the entire town of Enfield, or even further.

Even a ninth-rank Grand Celestial Master couldn't accomplish something as earth-shattering as this.

"Wait until I die?" Cao Kun sneered.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Valak felt the power surging within him, almost overflowing, and burst into maniacal laughter once more.

The laughter shook the few remaining roof beams.

"Did you understand? Easterner."

The shadowy figure of a child riding on the dragon's back looked down at Cao Kun.

"I am the monarch of the night, the master of shadows."

"Your lightning is indeed powerful, and your golden light is indeed annoying."

"But so what?"

Valack's voice was full of mockery and cruelty:

"You are human, and your power is limited."

"And I, with my back to an endless abyss."

"You must be tired too. Your light is starting to dim."

It extended a finger, pointing at Cao Kun:

Even if you kill me a thousand times, I will still stand up.

"And you, if you make just one mistake, you will be doomed."

"Give up, kneel down, offer up your soul, and I'll let you die a quick death."

Faced with Valack's clamor, the seriousness on Cao Kun's face disappeared.

He loosened his clenched fist and even retracted the lightning-struck peach wood sword into his system space.

The three-meter-tall giant's body slightly relaxed its tense muscles.

"eternal life?"

Cao Kun's lips curled into a mocking smile, his eyes as cold as knives:

"They're nothing but parasites who cling to their location and refuse to leave."

"You think I can't do anything to you just because you have the darkness behind you?"

Cao Kun slowly raised his hands.

The ten fingers moved, without using any magical artifacts.

Instead, he formed an extremely ancient and complex hand seal on his chest.

Cao Kun moved his ten fingers slightly, interlocking his middle, ring, and little fingers.

Touch the tips of your index fingers together, and touch your thumbs together as well, making a loose, round fist.

A unique diamond seal.

"Approaching!"

An ancient syllable burst forth from deep within Cao Kun's throat.

The sound was not deafening, but it seemed to pierce through countless ages and cross the endless river of time.

It is like the first chime of a bell at the beginning of chaos, or the echo left by the laws of the Great Dao in the void.

With an ancient majesty that is supreme and suppresses all, it descended upon this dilapidated second-floor corridor.

"Buzz—!"

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The dust, raindrops, and even the swirling black fog floating in the air all seemed to freeze in mid-air.

To Valak's horror, the dark energy that was continuously flowing into its body was instantly severed as if by an invisible blade.

Its connection with this world was forcibly severed.

"boom!"

At the same time, an indescribable, terrifying power suddenly poured into Cao Kun's body.

The Nine-Character Secret Technique, the "Lin" Formula—Maintain physical and mental stability, remain calm in the face of adversity, maintain an unwavering and unconfused will, and combine with the spiritual power of heaven and earth.

This is the true power of "divine intervention," far surpassing the previous methods of summoning spirits.

Cao Kun's giant body, already three meters tall, trembled violently.

Even though he possessed a powerful physical body at the fourth level of the "Purple Heaven Thunder Dragon Dao Body Technique," and even though he was currently in a state of enhancement from the "Great Dipper Divine Mantra"...

He could still feel his muscles, bones, and meridians groaning in agony from the unbearable strain.

The feeling was like a balloon being forcibly filled into an entire river.

My body felt as if it could be torn apart by this violent force at any moment.

"snort."

Cao Kun groaned, forcibly suppressing the excruciating pain churning within his body.

Although his body size stopped growing, the aura emanating from him increased exponentially.

The golden light that was originally protecting the body has now condensed into a golden armor that is almost tangible.

Purple lightning danced around him, no longer scattered arcs of electricity, but transformed into clear, illusory lightning dragons.

Self-cultivation, Golden Light Mantra, Summoning God Technique, Big Dipper Great God Mantra, and the Secret of the Character "Lin".

Five forces combined!

At this moment, Cao Kun was majestic, sacred, and unapproachable.

He was like an ancient deity who had truly descended to earth, looking down upon the ants beneath his feet.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

An invisible pressure emanated from Cao Kun and spread outwards in all directions.

That is absolute suppression at the level of life.

Ed, Rowling, and Peggy's family, who were hiding in the corner of the array, felt their knees buckle.

This pressure doesn't act on the body, but rather directly on the depths of the soul.

That is the instinctive awe and submission that mortals feel when facing the true God.

No one can stand firm.

Even Ed, with his strongest will, lost control of his body at this moment.

Everyone knelt down, heads bowed low, not daring to look directly at the golden figure.

In the entire space, only Valak was still barely suspended in the air.

But its two-headed dragon was trembling, and its childlike nature was twisting.

Although the face without features showed no expression, the intense fear was impossible to conceal.

Cao Kun slowly raised his eyelids.

Those purple-gold eyes coldly stared at the projection of the demon god before them.

"It allows me to use the secret of the character '临' (Lin)."

Cao Kun's voice, like heavenly music, resounded in Valak's soul:

"You have every reason to be proud!"
