Before Xu Le could finish speaking, the cave trembled violently, and countless rocks fell from the cave ceiling to the ground. Even the scorpion demon and the snake demon could not stand steadily.
"Hand over my grandfather right now!"
A child's innocent shout came from outside the cave; although the child was young, the voice was deafening.
The scorpion demon frowned, picked up her weapon, and transformed into a black gust of wind, sweeping out of the cave. Just as the snake demon was about to set off, Xu Le used his mind to send a piece of rock flying onto the old man's head, knocking him unconscious.
He then swaggered up behind the snake spirit, whispered in her ear, and said, "Take me with you."
The snake demon distanced herself and said angrily, "What exactly are you hiding your strength for?"
Xu Le smiled without saying a word, but his eyes turned cold, and anyone could see the impatience in them. The snake spirit felt threatened by the Spirit Ranking and had no choice but to compromise, using her magic to roll up Xu Le's body and fly out of the cave.
Outside the cave, a giant red-clad baby stood hundreds of meters tall, its enormous body blocking out the sky and casting a large shadow.

Chapter 156: Battle and Victory Banquet
The little boy in red had a red gourd on his head, and as his body grew larger, the gourd on his head also became enormous.
His eyes were filled with rage. He uprooted a huge rock and slammed it down on the cave beneath him. The cave shook violently, and countless pebbles tumbled down, crushing many monsters who couldn't escape in time, turning them into mincemeat. But the mastermind behind all this, Da Wa, showed no mercy whatsoever; instead, he laughed heartily.
"Help!"
"I don't want to die!"
Dozens of small monsters were pinned down by the rubble. They were lucky enough not to die on the spot, but they let out painful howls. However, the boulders held them firmly in place, preventing them from escaping. They could only watch as blood continued to gush from their wounds, and their bodies grew weaker and weaker.
Sometimes death is not the most terrifying thing; the most terrifying thing is the process of waiting for death. The great terror between life and death can cause a person's mental breakdown.
Looking at the wailing little monsters, Da Wa felt that he was truly acting on behalf of Heaven, and his sense of justice was greatly satisfied. However, thinking of his grandfather who had been captured by the monsters, he picked up another boulder and prepared to smash it down.
A black wind carrying billowing black energy swept by, and the scorpion demon appeared before Da Wa, revealing its true form. It transformed into a size of tens of meters and wielded a huge steel knife, fiercely chopping down towards Da Wa's head.
Although Da Wa was incredibly strong and could change his size, his body wasn't made of copper or iron. So when he saw the wielding steel blade, he tensed up and threw the boulder he was holding above his head with great force. The boulder collided with the scorpion demon's steel blade and was split in two. The two halves of the boulder were sent flying hundreds of meters, hitting some fleeing little demons.
The scorpion demon was pushed back half a step by the force of the boulder's recoil. Just as he was about to catch his breath, a pair of huge fists slammed into his face.
The scorpion demon dodged, and after Da Wa punched the air, he angrily shouted "Despicable!" twice. Then his body began to change again, growing to a height of 500 meters before stopping. After revealing his true form, the scorpion demon, who was only a few dozen meters tall, looked like a toy.
The eldest brother's gaze was slightly cruel as his enormous hand reached out to grab the scorpion demon. Due to his enormous size, his destructive power increased exponentially. The wind generated by the rapid movement of his arm turned into a gale as he tried to capture the scorpion demon.
The scorpion demon tried to dodge, but the enormous hand blocked out the sky and sealed off his escape route.
"May everything go as I wish!"
At that moment, the snake spirit arrived just in time. After placing Xu Le on the ground, she took out a jade ruyi from her bosom and began chanting a spell.
Xu Le quietly approached the snake spirit and watched him use the Ruyi. He had discovered this magical treasure while watching cartoons; it had multiple functions and was not an ordinary object. This showed that the snake spirit had an extraordinary origin.
Although the treasure was very magical, Xu Le did not interrupt the snake's incantation. Instead, he quietly watched as the snake used the jade ruyi, and a dark green light spread out.
Da Wa, who had been reaching out his big hand to grab the scorpion demon, suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground. The ground beneath his feet turned into a huge mud pit. Because Da Wa's body had become enormous, his weight also increased, and he sank rapidly into the mud pit. No matter how much he struggled, he could only accelerate his sinking and could not escape the mud pit.
"What's going on? How did the earth turn into a mud pit!" Da Wa's size shrank rapidly, but it was to no avail. His body was firmly stuck in the mud, and he could only watch himself sink into it little by little.
After falling into the mud, Da Wa was gasping for breath. Then a thin rope was tied tightly around him, and he was pulled up by a force.
Xu Le's expression changed slightly as he looked at the Ruyi that could alter matter. This ability to change matter was truly terrifying. He also thought about how in Chinese mythology, those who held Ruyi were basically powerful gods, especially the one who was high above them. That great god also had a Ruyi.
After Da Wa was captured, the scorpion demon reverted to her original form and, filled with rage, kicked him, sending him flying more than ten meters away, where he howled in pain on the ground.
Just as the scorpion demon was about to continue venting his anger, Xu Le instructed the snake demon to calm him down. After all, this was the raw material for the Seven Star Pill, and it would be a headache if it failed.
As expected, the scorpion demon, who was henpecked, immediately calmed down after being persuaded by the snake demon. Instead of being angry, she smiled and praised, "As expected, my wife is truly powerful. She subdued this boy with just a few words!"
The snake spirit gave him a look of disappointment. Although he was not strong and his potential was not great, the scorpion spirit was deeply in love with the snake spirit, and his feelings remained unchanged even after being suppressed for ten thousand years. Even the hardest heart would be moved, and the snake spirit was no exception.
Originally, she wanted to absorb the primordial energy from Xu Le's body to help the scorpion demon transform her body, but she didn't expect that Xu Le was not the little lamb she imagined, but a hidden evil tiger.
As a result, not only did they fail to absorb the primordial energy, but their true spirits were also extracted, turning them into slaves of others, with their lives in the hands of others. Even the Seven Star Pill that the Scorpion Demon was tricked into refining by Xu Le was something Xu Le wanted. If they couldn't refine it successfully, their lives would be in danger.
The snake demon looked at the excited scorpion demon and wanted to blurt it all out, but when she caught a glimpse of Xu Le's inexplicable smile, she swallowed her words and chuckled dryly.
The scorpion demon didn't notice anything unusual. She watched as Xu Le touched the Calabash Brothers for a moment and then stepped back. The scorpion demon didn't suspect anything and ordered her toad demon subordinates to carry the eldest Calabash Brother back to the cave to guard him.
At night, a banquet was held. The Scorpion Demon held a victory celebration, and many little snake demons and flower demons danced gracefully. Although they looked frightening, their dance was undeniably charming and full of wild allure.
The only drawback was that all the food consisted of live animals, and the way they were eaten was raw and unprocessed. This raw and bloody eating style was not suitable for Xu Le's concept of enjoyment, so he only picked out some fruit to eat. After all, at his level, food was not very important; he could survive by relying on spiritual energy.
As night fell, the lesser demons all dispersed, leaving only Xu Le, the snake demon, and the drunken scorpion demon.
The snake demon had been deliberately keeping her distance, but now that only the two of them were awake, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She glanced at the sleeping scorpion demon beside her, mustered her courage, and said calmly, "Sir, you can go now. We need to rest!"
"Oh!"
Xu Le's cold laugh startled the snake spirit. When she met his gaze, it was cruel and ruthless, as deep and unfathomable as the abyss of the deepest hell.
"Transform into human form! Hurry up!" Xu Le commanded, his tone leaving no room for doubt. He had tasted the benefits of the aura within the snake spirit's body; absorbing only a small portion had significantly stabilized his foundation and prevented his injuries from worsening. Furthermore, since it wasn't a painful process, Xu Le naturally wouldn't let the snake spirit go.
"No, the King is still here!" The snake spirit retreated several steps. Because her true spirit had been extracted, she had great strength but could not resist. She could only beg Xu Le to give up the idea.
"hurry up!"
Xu Le's voice grew colder, and his gaze became cruel. Since his Seven-Colored Dao Heart was broken, his desires had rebounded even more strongly than before. However, after experiencing the Seven-Colored Dao Heart, his will was extremely strong, enough to suppress his seven emotions and six desires.
