Chapter 482: Daoist Art, Transference Technique! When You Gaze Into the Abyss, the Abyss Gazes Back Into You!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Explosions echoed endlessly. Even though a strange protective force surrounded the outside of the Eight Trigrams Tower, it could not withstand the countless stones and shattered wooden pillars hurled by Li Yanchu’s Telekinetic Command!

Just then, thick, dense black qi surged from the Eight Trigrams Tower. The entire tower creaked and groaned in the howling yin wind, as if countless wronged spirits who died tragically were wailing and shrieking around it! Meanwhile, droplets of blood dripped from the tower until it was soaked red with gore.

Twisted, agonized human faces surfaced across the Eight Trigrams Tower’s exterior, as if their skin had been forcibly peeled off and plastered onto the walls. They were densely packed, terrifying to behold. Each face wore expressions of grief, distortion, and resentment. Just one glance made one instinctively frown and feel cold from head to toe.

Behind the windows and doorway was nothing but pitch-black darkness, and nothing could be seen. It felt deep, eerie, and sinister.

Sure enough, there’s something very wrong with this Eight Trigrams Tower

. Li Yanchu thought inwardly.

He let out a soft sigh, perhaps this Eight Trigrams Tower truly was built long ago to suppress evil spirits. But unexpectedly, it had now been eroded by yin qi, turning into something like an old object that had gained sentience: an evil artifact that devours humans!

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you.

Suddenly, all those human faces on the Eight Trigrams Tower snapped their heads toward him with no warning. Their frenzied, venomous expressions looked ready to devour him, and yin qi surged wildly.

At the same time, waves of black fog formed before the Eight Trigrams Tower; they were ghostly barriers, similar to the effect of ‘a ghost blinding the eyes,’ causing doubt and hallucinations in those who approached.

Bang!

The Eight Trigrams Tower’s massive front door suddenly burst open from inside, like a primordial beast opening its bloody maw.

Then, billowing black qi erupted outward from within. This black qi, tainted with the resentment of the dead, could devour any ghost, spirit, evil being or living person it touched!

But Li Yanchu stood there with golden light coating his entire body, not fearing the surging darkness at all.

Cold killing intent flashed in his eyes, his battle spirit boiling over. Whatever secrets this mysterious town contained, today he would flatten the Liu ancestral hall first!

To hell with it!

BOOM!

With a thunderous explosion, Li Yanchu punched the Eight Trigrams Tower with full force. The force was so great that the Bagua Tower’s structure exploded instantly, sending fragments of stone flying and dust billowing into the air. A massive crater was smashed into the tower with a single punch!

The entire Eight Trigrams Tower, soaked in blood and covered with countless twisted human faces, let out a painful howl, almost collapsing under that one strike!

“This thing is actually a

spiritual entity

!?” Everyone gasped in shock.

As for the Phantom from earlier, who knew where it had gone? It had completely vanished.

Bang!

Li Yanchu punched again! Black qi surged out of the Eight Trigrams Tower like countless ferocious ghostly hands, trying to drag him into a dark abyss.

The golden light around his body suppressed the black qi, but the black qi exploded again, turning into chain-like tendrils glowing black and blood-red. The black represented yin qi, and the blood-red signified resentment.

The black-red tendrils lashed at Li Yanchu’s body like living appendages. Terrifying shockwaves rippled through the air, as though these powers wanted to shatter Li Yanchu into pieces!

Those horrifying human faces kept oozing fresh blood. Their resentment was immense, silently screaming as if trying to break free, lunging to bite Li Yanchu. The sheer intensity of their grudge made one’s hair stand on end!

At some point, the great sun in the sky disappeared, replaced by a blood-red moon once more.

Li Yanchu had a feeling that the Eight Trigrams Tower was probably the key for them to leave this mysterious town. The tower’s attacks could even affect the blood moon above the town!

No matter what you are, today I will kill you!

Li Yanchu thought to himself.

The Golden Light Mantra could increase cultivation and defend against evil invasions. Paired with Li Yanchu’s Heaven-Earth Titan Form divine ability, it could unleash astonishing combat power. Even without his martial-body physique, Li Yanchu still possessed an exceptionally sharp battle sense.

Divine Astral Hands!

The power within his fists and kicks was immense, continuously smashing the Eight Trigrams Tower. The chains of yin qi didn’t change before breaking through the golden light on his body, unable to inflict any real harm.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Explosions roared deafeningly, and the faces on the Eight Trigrams Tower grew even more venomous, all staring at Li Yanchu as eerie soul attacks shot out like arrows, relentlessly striking at his spirit.

Li Yanchu’s body swayed but quickly stabilized, and battle intent surged in his eyes!

Divine Astral Hands!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

One by one, the twisted, venomous faces were completely obliterated. The Eight Trigrams Tower was on the verge of being utterly destroyed.

Suddenly, a surge of dense, blood-red resentment erupted from the tower. The blood handprints they had seen on the walls earlier now seeped outward!

Those bloody handprints weren’t just on the walls; they covered the entire ground, the outer walls, doors and windows, door frames, eaves, rooftops, and corridors, erupting everywhere in a mass of blood-red prints.

Bang!

With a sudden explosion, the blackened, tainted blood from these prints shot toward Li Yanchu, whose body was glowing golden. At the same time, the eerie human faces kept shedding bloody tears from their eye sockets, subtly linking with the blackened tainted blood.

This blood, filled with yin chill and resentment, could not only corrode flesh but also pollute and destroy a Daoist’s talismans. When it touched Li Yanchu’s golden light, black smoke hissed out, and the air filled with a nauseating stench. This was a huge suppression against his Golden Light Mantra!

The bizarre scene made Zhang Wei and the others hold their breath.

Can Daoist Master Li really withstand an attack of this magnitude?

Yet Li Yanchu remained completely unflustered, he had been waiting for this very moment. In the next instant, the golden light on his body remained dazzling, and all the blood handprints, chains, and blackened blood disappeared from him. The next second, they all appeared on the Eight Trigrams Tower itself!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

This tainted blood could not only destroy a Daoist or monk’s talismanic power but also annihilate evil spirits and undead.

Daoist art: Transference Technique!

Li Yanchu had intentionally held back, waiting for the Eight Trigrams Tower to unleash its strongest attack. At the precise moment, he transferred it back onto the tower itself!

The tower’s activation had drawn upon the power of the entire Liu ancestral hall, and this force was almost beyond his limit.

BOOM!

With that, the Eight Trigrams Tower collapsed, and immense surges of yin qi and resentment erupted throughout the Liu ancestral hall.

Li Yanchu had not guessed wrong, the Eight Trigrams Tower truly was an old artifact that had gained sentience, and he had just fulfilled his role in suppressing the evil lurking at its base.
