Chapter 166 - Five Elements Intercalation

But as the long nails were flying toward him, Li Huowang dodged them with surprising agility, all while cutting his own neck.

A sinister smile then appeared on Li Huowang’s extremely haggard face. He stepped onto the Profound Records, and then dashed toward the five elders, with a slight gust behind his back.

“Protect the elders!”

Flames quickly lit up on the bodies of some of the Ao Jing Sect disciples like Shou San and Tou Qi. As they raised their hands together, the blaze seemed to become contagious as it also appeared on Li Huowang’s body, causing his red Taoist robes to start burning as well.

It seemed like "Li Huowang" was in a dire situation. But in the very next moment, he tilted his head and the situation was completely reversed. The flames on “Li Huowang”’s body were extinguished, and at the same time, the charred bodies of the Ao Jing Sect members that were ablaze began to swell up inexplicably. Soon, their charred skin split apart like scorched rice, revealing their grotesque flesh. The blood that spewed out from the gaps quickly caused the flames on their body to be extinguished.

Then, “Li Huowang” held his sword in one hand and slashed down, directly cutting down two of the deformed Ao Jing Sect members; these Ao Jing Sect members were no match for him—for him, dealing with them was as easy as cutting vegetables.

“No! That’s not the brat! He has been possessed by his half-Immortal Master, Dan Yangzi!”

When the five elders of the Sitting Oblivion Dao realized this, they quickly sat down cross-legged, and began to chant. “As for joy, the pinnacle of elegance~ The beginning of the Dao, the fulfillment of accomplishment, the mastery of delight~ One should find joy in all things...”

As he heard them chanting, Li Huowang started laughing. However, it was not just his mouth smiling, but his eyes, fingers, and all the other organs on his body were laughing as well.

As his laughter rang out, his facial features began to loosen.

The very next moment, Dan Yangzi’s counterattack began. Some illusory black clouds appeared out of nowhere and shrouded Dan Yangzi, gradually suppressing his laughter.

At that moment, Li Huowang looked over to where Dan Yangzi was locked in fierce combat with the “Sitting Oblivion Dao”.

Even though his neck was throbbing with immense pain, the smile on his face was even brighter than before. What he wanted was to use himself to incite Dan Yangzi and Sitting Oblivion Dao into killing each other—no matter which side suffered casualties, he would have achieved his objectives.

No, it’s not enough. Just a bit more!

As he thought up to this point, Li Huowang raised a dagger and plunged it half-an-inch deep into the skin on his chest. He trembled as he gripped the hilt tightly, then gritted his teeth before sliding it downward.

Seeing this, the illusory Monk who had been following beside him, took a breath of cold air, and started gesturing frantically. “Taoist, don’t do this. Let’s think of another way!”

However, Li Huowang did not think so. He did not want to risk giving Dan Yangzi a chance to take over his body after he died, and use it to commit heinous crimes.

With a low growl, Li Huowang pulled the hilt down firmly. Fresh blood splattered out from his chest and onto the Profound Records beneath him, causing the color of the bamboo slip to turn even more vibrant.

At this moment, between his enhanced perception of pain and the near-dissembowelment caused Li Huowang to almost faint.

But he didn’t dare to let himself faint now. If he did, then by the time he woke up, the wounds on his body would have recovered. If Dan Yangzi managed to take over his body during that time, everything he had done before would have been in vain.

Now that Dan Yangzi had come out and shown himself, there would be no second chances for him.

With a clang, the blood-stained dagger fell onto the ground. Then, Li Huowang staggered as he raised his remaining hand and inserted it into the wound he had just cut open.

“Ahh!! Ahh!!!” He cried out as he knelt onto the ground with one knee. At the same time, veins began to bulge on the back of his hand as he forcefully pulled at the edge, causing his innards to be exposed to the cold air just like that.

“Wood Liver!”

Red roots extended from the Profound Records and burrowed in, restoring life to the liver that had lost far too much blood. Then, more roots extended from it, and followed along Li Huowang’s knee before burrowing in once again, going even deeper than before.

“Gold Lungs!”

As so continued, the roots extending from the Profound Records became even thicker.

“Earth Spleen!”

Thunder started echoing, while some sort of aura expanded within the cave. Everything around Li Huowang began to distort.

At this moment, everyone present before Li Huowang had turned into horrifying fleshy monsters, while the Profound Records on the ground had similarly transformed into parallel rows of wriggling worms.

“Water Kidneys!”

As Li Huowang continued, the crowd from Ao Jing Sect dashed toward him to try and stop him. However, as soon as they approached him, the Profound Records hanging on them all flew over and surrounded Li Huowang, forming a protective barrier around him.

Meanwhile, Li Huowang was slowly turning empty from within, and yet he was smiling more happily than ever before.

The entire process was painful, in fact extremely so. But he was truly happy—he was finally about to die. As long as he died, then he would not need to feel any more pain, and Dan Yangzi would not be able to take control of his body.

He took a deep breath, and his voice that was filled with sorrow and hatred spewed out along with fresh blood. “And lastly... Fire Heart!”

At this point, the Profound Records, which had now connected with his five organs burst with vitality.

Li Huowang had completely sacrificed his most important organs to Ba-Hui. With this, his body was almost reduced to an empty shell, and he fell to the ground, his pupils dilated.

However, this was not the end. This was not the Cang-Qiang Ascension that was used to summon Ba-Hui, but a different ritual recorded on the Profound Records—the Five Elements Intercalation.

And now that Li Huowang had completed it, he watched the wriggling worms on the ground that formed the Profound Records. They quickly gathered together and burrowed toward his empty body.

Soon after, his body, which had been nearly completely torn apart, was once again filled up, overflowing with them. Those worms burrowed freely within his body, not leaving any empty spaces.

Li Huowang staggered to his feet while holding his sword, and then looked down at the worms that were wriggling inside his body. At this moment, he could feel these worms wriggling inside his body.

It was an extremely strange feeling; he felt like these worms had already become a part of himself, and he could even feel the peculiar strength that was contained within their bodies.

He was already starting to have trouble distinguishing whether these things were worms or just a part of himself.

Most importantly, Li Huowang no longer felt any pain.
