Soon, the black mist gradually dissipated, revealing a huge, strange figure.
This strange man had dark skin all over his body, was several meters tall, had six incredibly thick arms, held three pairs of giant swords, and his muscles bulged like small mountains—a typical giant.
This giant was terrifying. Its head, as large as a cartwheel, had ferocious features, protruding fangs, and three enormous eyes that gleamed with a chilling light as they locked onto Li Yao and the other three.
"He is the Prison-Suppressing King?!"
Li Yao sneered.
The Prison-Suppressing King's original name was Shuming. He was a disciple of the Shushan Sect and a fellow disciple of Qingleng.
This person is extremely cunning, greedy, ambitious, and adept at plotting.
Not satisfied with his cultivation to become an immortal, he fantasized about gaining the trust of the divine realm, wielding great power, and becoming a revered god.
Therefore, he volunteered to go to the human world to investigate the blockage of the earth veins in Mount Lishu, using this as a stepping stone to establish merit. He was then appointed by the gods as the "Prison King" to guard the Demon Locking Tower.
Chapter 521 The Mysterious Prison-Suppressing King
"You must be Shuming. I advise you to mind your own business, or else I'll be very rude to you!"
Li Yao looked at the Prison King floating above the Demon Transformation Pool and said calmly.
"You actually know my real name?!"
The King of Prisons was taken aback at first.
Immediately, he burst into laughter and said, "What arrogance! How dare you insult the divine way like this! I am the guardian deity of this tower, the Prison-Suppressing King appointed by the divine realm!"
His gaze was like lightning, and his voice like thunder, giving him a somewhat divine air.
"Shinto? A monster like you dares to call yourself Shinto?"
Li Yao sneered.
"Arrogant!"
"I, the God, will annihilate your soul and spirit!"
With a furious roar, the King of Hell slashed at Li Yao with his giant sword, unleashing a massive ripple of energy that crashed down upon him!
Li Yao neither dodged nor avoided the fierce wave of energy that swept over him.
However, this wave of energy, which was like a raging storm, disappeared without a trace after it reached Li Yao, as if it had vanished into the sea.
"How...how is this possible?"
The three eyes of the Prison King widened in disbelief.
Immediately, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and six giant hands simultaneously wielded six giant swords, suddenly swinging them in the air.
Six enormous ripples of energy suddenly burst forth, crisscrossing each other and spreading out like a net, rushing towards Li Yao.
"Good timing!"
Li Yao smiled gently.
With a series of hand seals, a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted forth. This violent energy swirled and circled around him, transforming into countless boundless patterns that seemed to seal and close, before crashing into the six waves of energy.
Rumble...
Amidst a series of booming sounds, the six violent shockwaves quickly vanished.
Before the King of Hell could even be shocked, what happened next left him speechless.
Li Yao made strange gestures with his hands, and soon, a wisp of purple smoke rose into the air.
In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared in the smoke.
The figure was dressed in a Shu Mountain Taoist robe, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance, with a long beard on his chin.
This person was none other than the Sword Saint of Mount Shu, Dugu Yuyun.
"Dugu Yuyun?! What are you doing here?"
The pupils of the Prison King suddenly contracted; he could hardly believe his eyes.
How did Dugu Yuyun end up here?
Although Dugu Yuyun was only his junior to him, Dugu Yuyun was now the head of the Shu Mountain Sect and an important figure recognized by the God Realm.
However, the reaction of the Prison King left the Book Fairy and the Heavenly Ghost King completely bewildered.
"Dugu Yuyun?"
Where is Dugu Yuyun?
"Is there something wrong with this guy's eyes? I can't see Dugu Yuyun at all."
The immortal in the book and the Heavenly Ghost Emperor turned their heads and looked around, but did not find Dugu Yuyun's figure.
Little White, who was standing nearby, heard their conversation and immediately understood what was going on. A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Shuming, the Heavenly Emperor ordered you to guard the Demon-Locking Tower, yet you are here committing atrocities. Do you know your crime?"
Upon seeing Dugu Yuyun, the Demon-Sealing King shouted fiercely, his voice resounding throughout the entire Demon-Sealing Tower, his imposing aura overwhelming.
"Dugu Yuyun, as the head of the Shu Mountain Sect, you actually acted as an accomplice to evil and protected these demons. You have committed an unforgivable crime!"
The Demon King of Hell stared at the Demon King of Hell and shouted sternly.
"Huh? Who is he talking to?"
"I think this guy's definitely lost his mind!"
The immortals and the Heavenly Ghost King in the book were completely bewildered by the strange behavior of the Prison Suppressing King.
What followed, however, surprised them even more.
The Demon King of Hell was seen brandishing six giant swords, hacking and slashing wildly at the air as if he had gone mad.
"What's wrong with this guy? What is he playing?"
"I think he must be crazy!"
The immortal in the book and the Heavenly Ghost King, observing the strange behavior of the Prison-Suppressing King, still couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Young Master Li, what exactly happened? Did you do something to this guy?"
When the fairy in the book saw Li Yao with his arms crossed, leisurely watching the Prison King beating at thin air, he began to suspect that Li Yao had tampered with the Prison King.
"Actually, this guy wasn't wrong. In his eyes, there really is a Dugu Yuyun here, and he's fighting a fierce battle with him!"
Li Yao smiled faintly.
"I'm understanding less and less of what you're saying. You say this guy saw Dugu Yuyun, but why didn't we see Dugu Yuyun?"
The Heavenly Demon King scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"Because he's fallen under my husband's dream spell; he's currently battling Dugu Yuyun in his dream!"
Xiao Bai explained on behalf of Li Yao.
Li Yao used the dreamlike power of the Spring Nourishing Spring Soul in the space to create a dream for the Prison Suppressing King, allowing the Prison Suppressing King to see Dugu Yuyun and engage in a great battle with Dugu Yuyun in the dream.
Since others cannot see the dreams of the Prison-Suppressing King, his various behaviors appear extremely strange.
"I see!"
The immortal in the book suddenly realized.
Then, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Could this be the legendary dream power of the Dream Eater clan?"
"As expected of the Immortal of Books, you actually know about the Dream Eater clan?!"
Li Yao said with some surprise.
The immortal in the book said smugly, "Of course, this old man is knowledgeable in astronomy and geography..."
"Come on, old man, stop bragging. You don't even know what Cold Marrow is, what are you bragging about!"
The Heavenly Demon King immediately dismantled the Immortal in the Book.
"Hmph, I won't stoop to the level of a mere mortal like you."
The immortal in the book snorted coldly.
While the two were exchanging words, the Demon King of Hell was already panting heavily.
The first level of the Demon-Sealing Tower was left in ruins by the Demon-Suppressing King.
"It seems the dreamlike power of this Spring Nourishing Soul is quite effective!"
"But we've had enough fun, it's time to end this!"
Li Yao nodded with great satisfaction.
As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his right hand and gently slapped the Prison King with his palm.
At this moment, the Demon King Zhenyu was still in a dream and did not notice Li Yao's attack.
call!
A sharp beam of light, like a ray of light piercing through the heavens and earth, or a dragon breaking through the clouds, tore through the sky and rushed straight towards the King of Hell!
boom!
A loud bang.
Li Yao's powerful aura soared to the heavens, crashing into and knocking away the six precious swords in the hands of the Prison King.
The power of the energy remained undiminished, like a dragon returning to the sea, crashing headlong into the body of the Prison King.
The Demon King of Hell was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a giant dragon-shaped sword pillar and breaking it in half.
The King of Hell coughed up a mouthful of blood and was on the verge of death.
He was startled awake when he discovered that the Demon King of Hell had suddenly disappeared.
He glared angrily at Li Yao, and said weakly, "This...this...is all...your...you...you...manipulated..."
Unfortunately, he breathed his last before he could finish speaking.
