Pokémon Dimensional Hunter - A Visual Mishaps

The metallic feathers of the Steelraven clanged in the gale, and Articuno let out a clear cry as it unfurled its wings to create a hundred-meter-long ice crystal barrier.

A heartbeat like a drumbeat came from underground, each beat causing grains of sand to float in mid-air.

"Crackling!"

Sixty-four pillars of magma burst forth from the sand, intertwining in the air to form an inverted infernal array. The sand grains melted in the intense heat, transforming into a rain of obsidian.

Before it even landed, it was drawn by an invisible force, forming a thousand-meter-high archway of bones in mid-air.

The door is embossed with twelve demon gods, and blood gushed from the eye sockets of the taotie-patterned beast in the center.

"Moo-!"

A soul-shaking roar pierced the earth, causing the desert to convulse violently as if it had gained life. Zhao Xuan soared into the air, watching as the sea of ​​sand beneath his feet instantly crystallized into an obsidian plain, only to crumble into a jagged jungle of rock spikes in the next second.

Two crimson points shone from the depths of the Gates of Hell, and wherever the light touched, the rocks automatically melted into scorching mud.

"boom!"

A gigantic hand, covered in granite-like textures, gripped the doorframe, lava cascading through its fingers like a waterfall. The twenty-meter-tall demon's true form burst forth, its bull-headed, human-bodied body covered in cracked, lava-like patterns.

Seven skull-shaped magical artifacts hung from the waist of the black iron chain (Mano Zhao). With each step Di Kui took, a hundred-meter-high rocky peak rose from the desert, and when it fell, it transformed into a vortex of quicksand that devoured everything.

"My name is Di Kui!" The demon roared to the sky, the sound waves shattering the clouds into radial cracks. Three pairs of curved horns on his forehead emitted an earthy yellow light, and the earth veins within a hundred miles trembled in response. The snow-capped peaks on the northern slopes of the Kunlun Mountains collapsed with a deafening roar, the melting snow water evaporating into a cloud of blood mist before it could even flow.

The Steel-Armored Raven suddenly let out a warning cry. Zhao Xuan turned his head and saw that the Obsidian Plain beneath the Earth Demon's feet was strangely multiplying.

Countless rock spikes burst forth from the earth, their tips bursting forth with clusters of crimson crystals, instantly transforming the entire desert into a grotesque crystal hell.

Articuno flaps its wings to release absolute zero, and ice crystals collide with rock spikes to create dazzling sparks of energy.

Di Kui Rong's golden vertical pupils locked onto Zhao Xuan in mid-air, and a cruel smile appeared on his protruding fangs.

"Humans, you released me, so I will make you my food!" Xun.

Chapter 209 The Power of the Land

"Kick me to death? We'll see if you have the ability."

Zhao Xuan looked at the arrogant Di Kui and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"I just don't know how much stronger you are than the Soviet Union and China."

Upon hearing the names Zhong and Su, Di Kui's pupils, which were the size of lanterns, suddenly contracted.

"How dare you humiliate me with that cowardly thunderbolt!" Then came a furious roar from the Earth Demon, which shook the rocky peaks to the ground and caused the skull artifact at his waist to burst forth with blinding blood light.

Lava patterns crisscrossed his granite body, and suddenly the desert split open into a spiderweb-like abyss.

Zhao Xuan stepped on the floating ice crystals to avoid the gushing lava, his Steel-Armored Raven wings reflecting a cold light in the heatwave.

"It seems that Hell has eroded too much of these guys' intelligence and power, leaving them with little wisdom," Zhao Xuan thought to himself.

After all, it was mentioned in the original work that the hell created by the Eight Immortals could obliterate the wisdom and power of all demons.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be like each of the eight demons is mentally challenged.

They were sent back to hell in less than two or three days.

　497 But this also has many benefits for him. Otherwise, the strength of the eight demons at their peak would be beyond his ability to contend with, and he would have no chance to obtain their origin.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the horns of the Earth Demon pierced the sea of ​​sand, and the entire Taklamakan Desert surged as if it were alive.

Countless quartz crystals burst forth from the earth's veins, forming a prism-like labyrinth under the sunlight.

"You lowly human! Die!" The demon's sonic waves shattered three crystal walls, and the rubble melted into a rain of crimson arrows in the air. "To die by my hand is your honor!"

"Articuno, Blizzard over the battlefield!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan didn't want to waste words with this fool. He stepped on the back of the Corviknight and traversed through the lava rain, the ice crystals evaporating in the heat waves and emitting a rainbow of light.

"Screech!!" Articuno cried out, and the extreme cold storm stirred up by its wings instantly transformed a kilometer radius into an ice and snow kingdom, with icy blue frost patterns condensing on the surface of the proliferating crystal cage.

The skull artifact at the Earth Demon's waist suddenly spewed out a mist of blood, and lava patterns on its granite body surged three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in size: "A mere trick!"

He slammed his palms on the ground, and nine giant magma dragons burst forth from the ice. The sulfurous flames spewed from their heads actually pushed the blizzard back, causing the snowflakes to melt into acid rain in mid-air.

The Steel-Armored Raven suddenly flapped its wings, its metallic feathers refracting countless points of cold light in the sunlight.

Zhao Xuan seized the moment it swooped down, leaped into the air and flipped over, suddenly producing three ice crystal spears in his hand—the very spears formed from his ice power.

"Try this!" Three beams of blue light pierced the Earth Demon's left shoulder in a triangular pattern, and the demon's granite-like skin began to crack.

"Insects!" Enraged by the attack, the Earth Demon pulled out its blood-red horns and plunged them into the ground, causing the entire desert to surge like ocean waves.

"Crash!!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!!" Hundreds of obsidian spikes burst from the ground, their tips blooming with blood-red crystal clusters that transformed into homing missiles, weaving a deadly net in the air.

"Steelcracker, Iron Defense followed by Brave Bird Strike!" Zhao Xuan shouted as the Steelcracker plummeted downwards.

"Caw!!!" The Steel-Armored Raven's body gleamed with a metallic sheen. After withstanding the explosion of three crystal clusters, it transformed into a golden meteor, crashing into the demon's face with a sound that broke the sound barrier.

"Boom!!" Di Kui staggered backward, and where the molten blood from his nose splattered, burning datura flowers bloomed.

The sudden, heavy blow caused Di Kui to involuntarily scream, "Ah!!!"

Without Zhao Xuan's command, Articuno seized the opportunity and unleashed a rapid burst of freezing light.

"Crack!! Crack!!" Layers upon layers of ice crystal barriers froze the Earth Demon's legs, and frost spread wildly along the magma patterns (ccec).

"You're courting death!" Di Kui roared in fury, suddenly snapping the chain around his waist, and seven skull artifacts soared into the air to form a blood-red star map.

The earth's energy was being frantically extracted from the entire desert, and fierce winds began to blow across the desert.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xuan's pupils constricted sharply: "He's drawing power from the earth's ley lines! Corviknight, use Tailwind to lift Articuno into the air!"

Two Pokémon transformed into streaks of blue and white light and shot into the sky at an altitude of 10,000 meters, while below, a yellowish-brown energy ball with a diameter of 10 kilometers had condensed in the desert.

"Hahaha!! Die!!" Di Kui laughed wildly as he pressed the star map into the energy sphere, and the collapsing gravitational field caused space to begin to distort.

"Damn it! Corviknight, you're protecting Articuno!"

"Caw!!" Upon hearing the command, the Steel Crow cried out, its crimson eyes flashing with determination.

"Articuno Absolute Zero!" Zhao Xuan shouted upon seeing this, and Articuno burst forth with a dazzling blue light.

Corviknight uses its steel wings to cut through the turbulence, creating the perfect angle for the Ice-type legendary bird to attack.

"Wow!!!"

Just then, a beam of icy blue light pierced the heavens and earth, freezing even the air molecules in its path. The crimson star map shattered under the impact of the extreme cold, and cracks instantly spread across the surface of the energy sphere.

"Boom!!! Crack!!"

Seeing his powerful attack, which he had put so much effort into, ruined, the Earth King was enraged and pounded his chest wildly, magma gushing out like blood: "I will devour your souls alive!"

His horn suddenly detached from his body, transforming into two giant axes wreathed in hellfire, which cleaved towards Zhao Xuan.

The desert was cleaved by the aftershocks of the axe blade, creating a canyon thousands of meters deep, from which boiling magma erupted from the mantle layer.

"Now!" Zhao Xuan suddenly revealed a triumphant smile upon seeing this.

"Caw!!" The Steel-Armored Raven's claws shone with a dazzling white light as it slammed into the axe handle with the ferocity of a divine bird.

"Screech!!" At the same time, Articuno drew an ice six-pointed star above Zhao Xuan's head, and the long-accumulated ice beam accurately hit Di Kui's forehead.

"Roar!!" The demon let out a deafening scream as its body began to crystallize from the spot where it was struck. Taking advantage of the moment, the Steel-Armored Raven swooped down, its steel wings slicing through the chains around its waist as easily as a hot knife through butter.

"Crackling——"

Suddenly, the ice cracks on the Earth Demon's granite body emitted a ghostly blue light, and black snowflakes began to fall from the desert sky. The demon was horrified to discover that its connection to the ley lines was being severed.

"Impossible!" He pounded his chest frantically, but the magma and blood congealed into crimson ice spikes as they fell. "I, the king, wield the power over the earth..."

"Times have changed." Zhao Xuan, riding his steel-armored raven, soared over the demon's head, his ice crystal spear suddenly growing three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in length. "Now it is the children of the earth who will bury you!"

Chapter 210 The Origin of the Earthly Demon

"Gah!!"

The Steel-Armored Raven's wings suddenly trembled, and tens of thousands of metal feathers transformed into a silver rainstorm.

"Whoosh whoosh!!!"

Each feather refracted an ice crystal matrix in mid-air, trapping the Earth Demon in a hexagonal cage of light. The Articuno cried out as it soared across the sky, its tail feathers trailing a long river of ice crystals like a galaxy between the clouds.

"Taste the flavors of the Ice Age!"

Zhao Xuan clasped his hands together, and suddenly the entire Taklamakan Desert sands floated in mid-air.

This was learned from Lu Hai's notes. Although Zhao Xuan was human, he had cheated, so he modified the moves developed by Lu Hai so that he could use them himself.

"Boom!!"

The earth rumbled continuously, and a crystal array with a diameter of a thousand meters appeared beneath the Earth Demon's feet, with eight ice pillars engraved with patterns bursting out of the ground.

The metallic storm of the Steelraven resonated with the icicles, weaving together in the air to cover the sky.

Upon seeing this, Di Kui suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, and the seven skull artifacts melted into blood diamonds on his chest: "Insect, you have no idea what true power is!"

"Let me show you what true power is!!"

"Pfft!!" He tore open his own magma heart, and hellfire condensed into a dark red crown at the wound.

The desert within a hundred miles began to boil, and countless ancient city ruins rose from the ground, casting the ancient totems of eight demons under the blood-red moonlight.

"In the name of the Lord of Hell!" The Earth Demon's roar shattered three floating sand dunes, "Forging countless ley lines—"

The earth's energy surged wildly from the entire desert, forming an emerald-colored energy vortex above Di Kui's head.

Zhao Xuan's pupils shrank sharply. This earth demon was truly beyond his expectations. This guy actually extracted earth veins to forcefully enhance his power.

However, Zhao Xuan wasn't stupid enough to let it enhance his own strength.

"Corviknight, use Bird Strike to interrupt the spell! Articuno, prepare Absolute Zero!"

"Gah!!"

"Wow!!"

With a long roar, the two Pokémon transformed into golden and silver shooting stars and swooped down.

The Steel Raven emitted a sun-like white light from its body, and the air in its path seemed to be scorched.

Articuno's wings whipped up an ice crystal hurricane, and a black bird totem faintly appeared in the storm.

"Hahaha!! A futile struggle!!"

The Earth Demon grinned and opened its massive lava maw, causing the emerald vortex to suddenly collapse into a black hole.

Gravity within a ten-mile radius instantly reversed, and countless burning datura flowers formed a cage in the air. Zhao Xuan suddenly realized that his ice crystal spear was vaporizing—the black hole was actually devouring light!

"Welcome to my domain." The demon's voice came from all directions. Zhao Xuan realized with a start that they were in the core of a molten rock, with the skeletal thrones of eight demons floating around them.

The Steelraven suddenly let out a painful cry; its metallic feathers were melting! At the critical moment, Articuno burst open like an iceberg.

Zhao Xuan had a sudden inspiration and poured all his ice-type energy into it: "Bloom, Eternal Garden!!"

"Screech!!" Articuno let out a long cry.

In an instant, the entire space seemed to transform into a world of ice and snow, with each snowflake reflecting the patterns of moonlight.

Suddenly, white frost appeared on the Earthly King's lava throne, and the black hole's devouring speed decreased sharply.

"Impossible! How could you..." Di Kui roared in fear.

The Earth Demon was engulfed by a thick layer of ice crystals, becoming like an ice sculpture.

Taking advantage of the moment, the Steel-Armored Raven broke free from its restraints, its entire body bursting into blue flames—the soul of a brave bird breaking through its limits!

"Now!" Zhao Xuan clasped his hands together. Articuno transformed into an ice phoenix, piercing the demon's chest, while Corviknight's steel wing cross slash shattered the Hell King's Crown.

"No--!!"

The demon let out its final wail, its magma body cracking inch by inch. Under the baptism of absolute zero, its massive form turned into an ice sculpture, then shattered into countless specks of stardust.

A jade-colored primordial core floats in mid-air, within which the illusory images of the earth's veins and mountains flow.

Zhao Xuan faintly heard an ancient sigh.

Suddenly, emerald rain fell on the desert, and flame flowers and ice crystal lotuses bloomed on the destroyed sand dunes—a gift from the earth's vein energy returning to the world.

The jade core emitted a dazzling halo, and the moment Zhao Xuan reached out to touch it, a boundless vitality poured out like a galaxy overflowing. The entire Taklamakan Desert suddenly trembled, and billions of sand grains shimmered in the jade raindrops.
