Chapter 360: Chapter 246: Five Thunderbolts of Heavenly Fire Descend on the Tree Demon!
The Five Thunder Talismans were the most powerful talismans Xu Yang currently possessed!
When drawn, they integrated his comprehension of the rules of the Thunderbolt and the Dao’s essence. Once activated, they could summon heavenly thunder to attack, making them extremely effective against demons and evil beings!
Boom!
As the Five Thunder Talismans were activated.
Thunderclouds gathered in the sky above the tree monster, and several thick lightning bolts struck down with a roar!
Given Xu Yang’s skill in talisman art and his current cultivation level, the Five Thunder Talismans he created could unleash the power of the Divine Transcendence Realm. Coupled with the blessings of the “Supreme Purification Seal,” the power they released was even greater!
“Heavenly thunder!”
Above the great elm tree’s trunk, the ugly, wizened face screamed. Its crown shook violently, and strips of paper soared into the sky, tearing apart the incoming thunderbolts!
Of course.
The tree monster had paid a price.
At least seven or eight branches had been destroyed by the Five Thunder Talismans, scorched black by the lightning.
However, as its demonic energy surged, the blackened strips of paper that had been burnt turned green with the luster of life. New leaves sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye!
“Ha ha ha ha!”
The tree monster laughed wildly, disdainfully saying, “The Five Thunder Talismans are indeed powerful, but it’s a pity that your power is too weak. The talismans you crafted cannot cause fatal damage to me… with my self-healing ability, your Five Thunder Talismans won’t harm me in the slightest!”
Despite saying that, Xu Yang’s mind was still filled with the sound of system prompts—
“Ding!”
“The tree monster has been frightened, merit points +1000, self-healing ability +1.”
There was no Yin spirit, evil being or demon that did not fear heavenly thunder.
Xu Yang smiled and said, “One Five Thunder Talisman does not trouble you… but what about two? Or five?”
With a flip of his hand, he threw out five more Wulei Talismans!
Boom!
In an instant, the thunderclouds that had just dispersed regathered in the sky above Helan Mountain, even mightier than before!
“Ding!”
“The tree monster has been frightened, merit points +1000, self-healing ability +1.”
“Ding!”
“The tree monster has been frightened, merit points +1000, self-healing ability +1.”
“Ding…”
The tree monster was frightened, but its face appeared even more disdainful. Coldly, it said, “If one talisman won’t work, five won’t either… break!”
This time, it swung nearly a hundred branches!
Green light shone brightly on each branch, as the demonic energy wrapped around them. Nearly a hundred branches combined to form a wooden dragon that struck at the falling thunderbolts!
Lightning exploded in the air.
Nearly half of the tree monster’s branches were scorched into charcoal.
The tree demon’s demonic energy surged, rapidly healing the charred branches. She roared hoarsely, “Boy, I want to see how many Five Thunder Talismans you have? Thousands of ghosts are unleashed, devouring hearts and souls!”
Having lived for a thousand years, the tree monster naturally had more than one method of offense and defense.
As she roared, the dark demon clouds surrounding the tree’s crown floated out!
Within the demon clouds, countless indistinct Yin spirits struggled, their hideous faces twisting and contorting. The dark mass of souls lunged toward Xu Yang, causing the sky to be filled with eerie, wailing Yin wind, and the temperature of the air dropped rapidly, causing the plants around him to wither.
Xu Yang’s expression remained calm as he threw out another bundle of talismans.
They were still Five Thunder Talismans!
As for how many there were…
He didn’t count!
He didn’t bother to count!
Boom!
Rampaging thunderbolts filled the sky, and as the unyielding and righteous aura swept by, the demon clouds melted away like snowflakes under the intense sunlight.
The lightning’s power was so strong that even Liu Shishi and Tu Xiaoyu found it unbearable.
“You two step back a bit.”
Xu Yang spoke, instructing Liu Shishi and Tu Xiaoyu to step back. He then flipped his hand and tossed out another bundle of Five Thunder Talismans!
“…”
Above the great elm tree, the wizened face was flabbergasted.
“Ding!”
“The tree monster has been frightened, merit points +1000, self-healing ability +1.”
“Ding!”
“The tree monster has been frightened, merit points +1000, self-healing ability +1.”
“Ding…”
Thunderbolts rained down, casting a purple glow on the entire Helan Mountain. The great elm tree was completely enveloped in lightning, and some of its branches were even set on fire.
When the thunderbolts dispersed.
The great elm tree had been reduced to a blackened husk.”
Charred branches smoked, and several branches broken by the lightning were scattered all over the ground.”
However, as the demonic energy above the tree dissipated, the blackened branches began to regain life once again!
“Ha ha ha ha!”
The ancient face above the trunk, its mouth twisted by lightning, laughed wildly, “Foolish humans, bring out all the more means you have… in the end, I would like to see if your Five Thunder Talismans are infinite!”
“I have indeed used up all the Five Thunder Talismans on me.”
Xu Yang sighed, “Such a powerful demon, truly terrifying… especially a plant-based life form, which has a large body and incredibly strong life force and self-healing ability… hundreds of Five Thunder Talismans were not enough to kill it.”
He flipped his hand and took out a bunch of Fire Talismans.”
These Fire Talismans were obtained from Li Chaoying, a member of the Cha generation at the Lu Shan Sect. The difficulty of crafting them was not much different from that of the Five Thunder Talismans. When crafting the talismans, Xu Yang infused them with his essence of the fire element and his comprehension of fire’s laws!
Once activated, they could summon heavenly fire to burn away all evil in the world!
“Ding!”
“The tree monster has been frightened, merit points +1000, self-healing ability +1.”
Upon seeing Xu Yang take out a huge bundle of talismans, the tree monster couldn’t help but shudder…despite its bold appearance, only it knew the damage and pain it endured under Xu Yang’s Five Thunder Talismans!
Xu Yang flicked the “fire talisman” in his hand and laughed, “Tree demon granny, you don’t have to be afraid. I indeed have run out of the Wulei Talisman.”
The tree demon granny secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Yang continued, “This is a fire talisman, capable of summoning heavenly fire… To deal with you, the effect may not be worse than the Wulei Talisman.”
“Ding!”
“The tree demon got frightened, merit points +1000, self-healing power +1.”
“Ding!”
“…”
Xu Yang added, “Of course, I don’t have many fire talismans on me either, just these, less than two hundred in total…”
As he spoke, he threw a large handful of “fire talismans” out all at once!
In an instant, heavenly fire filled the sky.
The big elm tree caught fire directly.
The flowers and trees around the tree demon granny were affected, turning into ashes in a short moment.
As for the tree demon granny, she let out a shrieking roar from her pupils, her demonic aura raging, constantly resisting the heavenly fire on her… This time, it took nearly twenty minutes to extinguish the heavenly fire on her!
Half of her body was burnt, and almost all the leaves on the tree were turned to ashes.
Even her breath weakened a lot, she laughed, “Do you think you can kill me with just a few fire talismans?”
“Human, you can’t kill me!”
Xu Yang shook his head.
With a sigh, he said, “As a tree demon, you can’t even move. I don’t know who gave you the confidence… You probably don’t understand the current world… In today’s society, any ordinary person can launch a few missiles and turn you into dust!”
As he spoke,
he waved his hand, taking out a small table and a small stool from the storage space.
He then took out a talisman brush and talisman paper.
Dipping the brush into the specially made talisman ink, he spread out the talisman paper and said to the tree demon granny, “Of course, dealing with you doesn’t require such a big show… Although I have no more Wulei Talismans and fire talismans on me, as a Daoist cultivator, I can make talismans at any time.”
The tree demon granny was taken aback.
She then burst into laughter.
Her crown shook as she laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
“Making talismans at any time?”
“Stupid human… Do you think I will be scared?”
“Back in the day, a few ignorant Taoists tried to get rid of me… Unfortunately, they all turned into my nourishment, and their bones are buried under my feet… I have absorbed their memories, so I know a thing or two about your Daoist methods!”
With the raging demonic aura on the tree demon granny, the charred branches regained their green color, and tender green leaves slowly grew out.
“Making talismans is intricate and difficult!”
She smiled faintly, “With my self-healing ability, by the time you draw a talisman, I’m afraid I would have almost recovered… Hm?”
She hadn’t finished speaking when she suddenly stopped.
Her aged face, with a pair of round eyes, stared in disbelief.
She saw…
Xu Yang had already put the talisman in his hand aside and started to draw the second one…
In just under two minutes, another talisman was completed.
Tree demon granny: “…”
“Ding!”
“The tree demon got frightened, merit points +1000, self-healing power +1.”
“Ding!”
“The tree demon got frightened, merit points +1000, self-healing power +1.”
“Ding…”
Fear began to grow in her heart.
“No!”
“Impossible… Talismans like Wulei Talisman and Fire Talisman, how can they be drawn in minutes?”
“This human must be bluffing, trying to scare me…”
She comforted herself in her heart, but watching as the number of finished talismans by Xu Yang’s right hand multiplied, the fear deep inside her got somewhat uncontrollable, and a string of system prompts constantly rang in Xu Yang’s mind.
This delighted Xu Yang.
“One thousand at a time… In just one hour, I’ve already farmed 60,000 points. If I keep this up for two more hours, I might light up my million achievement gift package.”
Glancing at the finished talismans,
they should number around seventy or eighty.
“Wulei Talisman” and “Fire Talisman” mixed together, each with thirty to forty.
“After the tree demon granny was bombarded by my Wulei Talisman and fire talisman, she isn’t at her peak anymore… These talismans are enough for now. If I make more, it might actually die in one go!”
Xu Yang put down the talisman brush and started stamping the “Supreme Purification Seal” one by one.
Farming merit points, huh.
Gotta go for a slow and steady process.
Since the tree demon was already in a weakened state, if he were to attack with three or five hundred talismans at once, wouldn’t that kill it in one round?
Better prepare some for now, then bomb it once.
Then make more talismans, and bomb again, burn it, draw more, bomb and burn again… This way, it would also cause greater psychological pressure on the tree demon, farming even more merit points.
After stamping the fire talismans and Wulei talismans one by one with the “Supreme Purification Seal,” Xu Yang didn’t even look as he threw them all out.
For an instant, thunderbolts roared above and heavenly fire enveloped her.
The tree demon granny’s huge tree crown trembled continuously and let out a miserable scream. To resist the heavenly fire and lightning, her demonic aura weakened even more.
Not paying her attention, Xu Yang buried his head and began drawing talismans again.
“No!”
This time, the tree demon granny finally panicked. She wailed miserably, “Master, spare me… Master, spare me, I agree to your terms… The Xi Xia treasure is right under me. I am willing to open the passage for you.”
