I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

All I can say is that the Heavenly Guidance Technique is still too authoritative.

Four months have passed since Li Hao fell under the illusion spell, and logically, the traces of the illusion spell on his body should have disappeared long ago.

But the Heavenly Guidance Technique could still guide him in the direction where Huan Yao was.

However, there's one downside.

It does not display distance.

After pursuing her for four months, Li Hao still doesn't know how far Huan Yao is from him.

So I went down to find a kind-hearted demon and asked for directions.

Back on the flying boat, Li Hao clapped his hands, and the spirit puppet set up a huge map.

This is a map of the demon realm that he borrowed from a kind-hearted demon on his journey. Now it can be clearly seen that the demon realm is much more complete than the human realm.

The human realm has nine provinces and thirteen regions; a perfectly good continent has been divided into twenty-two pieces.

But the Demon Realm is different; there are only two parts in total.

The western part is smaller and borders the spirit world, while the eastern part is larger and extends into the human world.

The place that divides the two continents is called the Blood River.

It was a huge river over a thousand meters wide, and the water was a dark red color all year round, like dried blood.

Legend has it that this river runs through the realms of gods, demons, and the underworld, but whether that's true or not, no one can say for sure.

"The Blood River is here, and I'm currently in this position... If I go straight there, it should take me at most two months to get there."

"If Huan Yao is really here, then it's coming soon."

For now, this is good news.

After having the spirit puppet put the map away, Li Hao didn't rush to lie back down.

Instead, he flicked his wrist and produced a mottled piece of ore about the size of a head.

Demonic Iron Devourer.

The Demon Rock Mountains are a specialty of the region, and the name "Demon Rock Mountains" itself comes from this unique mineral.

In terms of sheer strength, this thing might not be as good as top-grade mithril or star iron, which are super minerals.

But this thing has a very absurd characteristic: it can increase its strength by devouring other metals, and even has a chance to acquire the properties of the devoured metals.

During the last war between the four realms, the demon race used this unique metal to forge a large number of Heaven-rank weapons. Even the other three races combined did not possess as many as the demon race.

This once overshadowed the other three races.

Unfortunately, the demons of that era weren't very bright.

After acquiring enough Heavenly Rank weapons, he became arrogant and attempted to take on three opponents at once, only to be defeated by the three factions working together in perfect unison.

At the same time, due to the extensive mining of this Demonic Iron during that great war, the reserves here have been almost exhausted, and the Demon Rock Mountains have become a mere shell of their former self.

The lump in Li Hao's hand was borrowed from the kind-hearted demon from earlier.

Despite its head-sized size, it actually contains very little Demonic Iron, making it difficult to even forge a dagger, and other demons wouldn't even consider it.

If it weren't for this, their family wouldn't still be able to keep it in their hands.

Oh, what a coincidence!

Li Hao immediately took out a furnace, stuffed it in along with the coal, and began smelting.

The huge lump of material was eventually refined into a tiny particle the size of a fingertip, and then the replication process began.

Then he took out the workbench and used nine finger-sized pieces of Demonic Iron to synthesize a Demonic Iron Ingot, and then used nine Demonic Iron Ingots to synthesize a standard one-cubic-meter Demonic Iron Block.

As for why the volume keeps increasing, don't ask, the answer is that's how the worktable works.

Finally, Li Hao held the pitch-black Demon-Eating Iron Block, looking at it from left to right, but couldn't see anything special about it.

"This is the metal that can be used to forge Heaven-rank weapons? It doesn't look very good."

After studying it for a while, Li Hao placed it directly on the deck, and then took out a metal ingot and put it on as well.

Surprisingly, this thing devours things quite quickly. When an iron ingot is placed on it, it melts and is devoured as quickly as ice cream on a teppanyaki grill.

Li Hao also wanted to see where the upper limit of this thing was, so he kept feeding it.

I never expected that this thing could actually swallow things whole.

Li Hao estimated that he had fed the Demon Devouring Iron about 100,000 iron ingots before it finally couldn't eat anymore.

The originally jet-black surface has turned into a metallic white, and at first glance it looks no different from an iron block.

The reason Li Hao spent time doing this was certainly not because he was bored.

Rather, he made a decision that went against the wishes of his ancestors.

After preparing the Demon-Eating Iron Block, Li Hao immediately disembarked from the flying boat and shrunk it down for safekeeping.

Then, he copied the Demon-Eating Iron Block, arranged it in a T-shape, and then, with a flash, produced a pumpkin head.

That's right, those in the know will already understand what Li Hao is up to by now.

He wanted to summon a powerful creature from the game—the Iron Golem, commonly known as Iron Bro.

In fact, this was not the first time he had summoned an iron golem.

He tried it shortly after entering the demon realm.

But the result was extremely disappointing.

Although it is a powerful creature in the game, in this fantasy world, in this world where extraordinary powers are wielded, Iron Brother's stats are not so good.

According to Li Hao's comprehensive assessment, the original Iron Golem's combat strength was at most equivalent to a Core Formation Stage 5 cultivator.

Even considering its sturdy body, which can withstand a lot of beatings, its overall attributes, especially its speed, are far inferior, not even as good as the spirit puppets on the flying boat.

Therefore, when Li Hao first learned of the existence of the metal Demon Devouring Iron, he naturally had an idea.

What would happen if you used Demon Devouring Iron Blocks as materials to summon an Iron Golem?

Now, having devoured hundreds of thousands of iron ingots, the Demon Devouring Iron, whose strength has reached its limit, is strong enough to be ranked as a top-tier material of the high-level Heaven Rank.

Using this thing to summon Iron Bro shouldn't be too weak, right?

The only question now is whether the summoning will be successful.

Now, everything is ready.

This is the last chance!

It can only be said that even when Li Hao wiped out someone's entire family, he wasn't this nervous.

He took a deep breath, and without further hesitation, decisively placed the pumpkin head on the T-shaped Demon-Eating Iron Block!

The moment it was placed on top.

A powerful electric current suddenly surged through my entire body!

"Damn it! Who shocked me?!"

Li Hao cursed, and then a long-lost voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[Rule conflict detected]

"Holy crap?! Brother Tong? You're not dead?!"

[Rules overriding in progress... Overriding successful]

[Conditions met, generating - Demon-Devouring Iron Golem]

The moment the sound faded, the Demon-Devouring Iron Block in front of them suddenly burst into a dazzling blue light!

The square-shaped Demonic Iron suddenly became soft at this moment, like Play-Doh, and was kneaded at will by some mysterious force.

In the blink of an eye, the limbs had already taken shape!

Originally, the pile was only two meters high, but now it has suddenly grown a head taller.

Its body, a mixture of the metallic white of the iron block and the original graphite black of the Demon Devouring Iron, presents a gray color that carries both majesty and murderous intent.

The dark red, square eyes exuded a subtle sense of oppression.

"Oh my god..."

Li Hao stared in astonishment at the brand-new iron golem before him.
