Chapter 497: The Golden Bell of Buddhist Treasures! Master Yuanjue! A Growing-Type Evil Spirit! A Haunting!
Li Yanchu’s body and primordial spirit were directly placed into the grinding mill, intended to be crushed and refined. But his vast life essence and masculine blood qi, radiant like a blazing sun with divine light flowing across his body, caused a sudden halt in the Spirit-Refining Formation.
Boom! It was as if a precision machine had jammed.
For ordinary people or cultivators, this formation might be a deadly soul-extracting mechanism. But trying to refine Li Yanchu with it was a mistake, as his body was virtually indestructible, and his blood qi was overwhelming. No matter how the formation ground, it couldn’t harm him.
Seeing this, the old Daoist’s three hidden eyes emitted a cold, murderous aura.
Next moment, the bloodthirsty and yin qi in the world surged toward him, converging continuously. His skin cracked, muscles bulged grotesquely like tumors, and as the evil energy flowed into him, his body grew increasingly massive.
Suddenly, four powerful arms actually sprouted from both sides of his body. The muscles on those arms were tightly knotted, and the skin had turned a dark, ashen gray. Two heads grew from his neck, hair disheveled, faces horrifying, etched with dark patterns. Their eyes were gray-white and pupil-less, radiating malevolence.
In the blink of an eye, the old, somewhat sinister-looking Daoist became a two-meter-tall, three-headed, six-armed behemoth, with soaring demonic qi radiating from him.
The bloodthirsty aura rose, forming a bloody Eight Trigrams in the sky, hovering over his monstrous form. The previously suffocating, viscous sensation in the air disappeared, perhaps because the demon knew the Spirit-Refining Formation couldn’t harm Li Yanchu and condensed its energy on itself. From this three-headed, six-armed monstrosity, an extremely dangerous aura radiated.

Nearby, in a village, a group of people sat under a golden ancient bell. Web-like blood threads wrapped the bell, like countless vampiric tendrils. The bell’s coverage was vast, and inside, the people meditated, resisting the slicing and consuming force of the web.
