"A foul, smoky mess, but it certainly has troops aplenty and generals to spare. No wonder it dares disregard the King of Pingqiu's name. In the human realm, these would be barbarians beyond civilization who refused the king's rule."
Through his nascent soul Dharma Eye, Li Chen saw many nature spirits roaming below. He chuckled softly, and several flying disc puppets drifted out, their Eye Crystals aimed downward. Then magic power shook the air, sending a thunderous roar reverberating through the sky.
"Skull, come out and die!"
"Come out and die!"
"Come out and die!"
"Who dares court trouble with this general!"
A deep, coarse voice rang out from the hills on the plateau below. Amid roiling dark clouds, a skeleton over ten feet tall appeared.
It was thick and sturdy, its entire body gleaming like metal. A saber as thick as a door plank rested on its shoulder. This was the leader of the nature spirits here, a bone demon that styled itself the Skeleton Great General.
Li Chen opened his Dharma Eye and immediately saw through to the truth, discerning its origins. "So you're a bone demon-a fiend that crossed over from the Nine Netherworld. You dared defy my commands and even kill my envoy. Today, I'll destroy you in body and soul."
"You're courting death!" Enraged, the bone demon soared into the air. Its enormous, door-plank saber unleashed a gang edge, an air blade over a hundred feet long that tore an even larger fissure through space as it slashed straight at Li Chen.
Facing this ferocious strike, Hu Ze's Avatar suddenly revealed the true forms of his six tails. A demon beast Dharma Form nearly ten thousand feet long swept across heaven and earth.
This was the original, true form of Hu Ze the demon fox.
