Chapter 183: Dao Fruit's Second Metamorphosis, Premature Birth of the Primordial Spirit, Second Round of the Prison Lotus Wind Fire G
Chess Saint Dao Fruit's second metamorphosis……
Divine Ability, Ultimateless!
In Li Che's pupils, lines crossed and intertwined, as if countless streams of light were leaping and dancing.
Li Che had always been looking forward to what the divine ability after the Chess Saint Dao Fruit's second metamorphosis would be; the embryonic form of the divine ability, the Great Avalanche, gave Li Che a tremendous boost in combat power.
For example, this time, being able to kill the Pavilion Master of the Hunter God Pavilion and kill a God Origin True Person relied on the divine explosion of the Great Avalanche.
Whether it was the Guanyin Lotus Bullet or the Fire God Angry Flood Dragon Machine Gun, their foundation was the embryonic form of the Chess Saint Dao Fruit's divine ability, the Great Avalanche.
It can be said that the metamorphosis of the Chess Saint Dao Fruit made Li Che very eager.
But this time, Li Che's anticipatory heart gradually grew cold and silent.
He kept recalling the scene he had encountered in that vast expanse of space.
The Heaven-Earth Chessboard was laid out, and someone placed a piece from outside the board.
It was like a hand covering the sky and blocking the sun.
Who was the one who placed that piece……
Was it a god?
Was it the master of the Dao Tree?
Who was it?
Li Che's mind suddenly became somewhat chaotic, countless lines throbbing, causing his ears to hear his own heartbeat pounding like a heavy drum mallet.
A moment.
Breathing returned to calm, each inhale and exhale long and steady.
Before his eyes, the prompt changed again.
【Ultimateless (Divine Ability): Black and white pieces placed, yin and yang Ultimateless, boundless and endless, exhausting heavenly communication】
【First Heaven Layer: Black-White Ultimate Collapse】
【White piece extreme, black pieces repel each other, yin and yang in the palm, the world falls silent】
【Second Heaven Layer:???】
……
Li Che stared blankly at the prompt that flickered into view before his eyes.
The splendid prompt seemed to have black-and-white streams of light constantly intertwining and appearing before his eyes.
He had now grown accustomed to it; after the Dao Fruit's second metamorphosis, the embryonic form of the divine ability had advanced to become a full divine ability, and he could only unlock the First Heaven Layer.
Just as the previous divine abilities 【Plucking Stars】 and 【Raising Rosy Clouds】, and now the 【Ultimateless】.
They could only be mastered starting from the First Heaven Layer!
This was largely because the Dao Fruit's maturity was insufficient.
Li Che had also pondered how to master the divine ability of the Second Heaven Layer; perhaps if the Dao Fruit's maturity increased further, it would be possible?
He didn't think much more about it.
The Dao Fruit's second metamorphosis would still bring Li Che considerable change and baptism.
Just as with the Dragon Elephant Vajra's second metamorphosis, that kind of feedback of shedding the old and being reborn made Li Che feel as if his whole being had received a completely new baptism.
His fleshly body became ever stronger and flawless!
Plucking Stars' effect on the fleshly body was not obvious, but Li Che could feel that his Immortal Artisan aptitude had increased even more.
It should be a subtle, gradual change.
It was not as fervent as the Dragon Elephant Vajra.
As for this time's 【Ultimateless】 divine ability, what kind of metamorphosis it could bring, Li Che still had no idea.
He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.
The entire Guiyi Miao was extremely quiet.
The next moment, it sounded as if rushing water burst and roared in his ears.
At the center of his brow, the Cinnabar Field Palace throbbed incessantly, as if an extra heart had appeared.
The Heaven-Earth Chessboard spread its net, centered on Li Che's body, instantly unfolding to envelop the entire Guiyi Miao!
Thud thud thud——
It was like the sound of evening drums and morning bells constantly striking his divine sense.
A kind of vibration, as if the soul were trembling, washed over his whole body.
His perception……
Previously unseen speed surged wildly.
Including the Pure Heart Mind Foundation, the Eight Wheels Divine Foundations all trembled within the Cinnabar Field Inner Space, the humming sound exploded, tearing apart raging air currents.
Rumble rumble rumble——
It seemed as if a little light floated up from the divine foundations.
Then they drifted and scattered within the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.
Gradually, a likeness of Li Che condensed into form.
Streaming light flickered, rosy vapors rose!
Unlike the divine sense Li Che had previously sketched in the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, it now possessed a true form, more condensed, more powerful, able to be used like an actual body, as if moving his limbs.
Li Che's eyes opened and closed, auspicious light myriad.
Boom——
Behind him, the Seven Wheels Seven Emotions Divine Foundations all surfaced; in an instant, like a peacock spreading its tail, they were exquisitely splendid and dazzling.
"This is…… Primordial Spirit?!"
Li Che was continually surprised and doubtful.
Only in the Primordial Appearance Realm can one cultivate a Primordial Spirit.
He seems…… to have prematurely condensed it!
Is this the transformation brought by the Supreme Ultimate Divine Ability?
«Supreme Ultimate, Supreme Ultimate, exhausting the heavenly penetration»
«Can one disregard limits? Regard as boundless»
Li Che muttered to himself.
This is his speculation, after all, the Divine Foundation Realm can only condense Divine Sense, impossible to condense a Primordial Spirit.
To condense a Primordial Spirit, at least one must be a cultivator of the Primordial Appearance Realm.
And the Primordial Spirit condensed in the Primordial Appearance Realm is merely the weakest Primordial Spirit.
Upon reaching the Divine Origin Realm, the first metamorphosis is the Primordial Spirit metamorphosis…… only then is it lively to play with the Primordial Spirit.
But he is only at the Divine Foundation Realm……
He actually managed to produce a Primordial Spirit.
«Huh? Seven-cycle Divine Foundation…… supports the Primordial Spirit»
Li Che fell into thought.
If it were a single-cycle Divine Foundation, it could absolutely not support the existence of a Primordial Spirit; it would be crushed by the Primordial Spirit, and then the Divine Foundation would shatter.
Even upon initial entry into the Divine Appearance Realm, it wouldn't suffice; one must observe the Divine Appearance, meticulously refine it to perfection, reaching the level of Primordial Appearance, to bear a Primordial Spirit.
«No, not only the Seven-cycle Divine Foundation, but also the Heaven-Earth Chessboard must be added, thereby bearing the Primordial Spirit»
Li Che understood.
The Primordial Spirit appeared, silently floating within the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.
The Primordial Spirit's eyes opening and closing seemed to have myriad auspicious lights flowing across the chessboard.
The «Seven Element Corpse Curse Mother-Child Seal» suppressed within the Heaven-Earth Chessboard immediately trembled incessantly, becoming ever more obedient.
On the other side, the Mythic Weapon «Visage of the Equal Heaven» seemed to vibrate slightly, but only a brief vibration before returning to calm.
Li Che's Primordial Spirit's gaze swept over, giving the «Visage of the Equal Heaven» a glance.
Li Che had beaten the Purple Flame Serpent Spear Fire Tip Spear, knowing that Mythic Weapons, even if never wielded, could possess simple consciousness; this «Visage of the Equal Heaven»…… does it?
Perhaps, this mask, has been secretly spying on him?
Li Che didn't care much.
His mind and spirit withdrew.
Within the Guiyi Miao.
Li Che opened his eyes, a brilliance unmatched instantly outshone the flame of the white candle.
Such splendour, as if Li Che's whole body were glowing!
«Primordial Spirit»
«Unexpected»
Li Che muttered a sentence, unexpectedly having condensed a Primordial Spirit, although limited, it could only exist within the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.
But, this means that on the path of divinity, he unknowingly stealthily took a solid step.
As long as he completes the breakthrough of Divine Appearance, then meticulously refines it, upon entering Primordial Appearance he could become an outstanding among Primordial Appearance cultivators.
Even breaking through to the Divine Origin True Person level would come naturally.
«Unexpected joy»
Li Che's eyes burned with flames, as if the Primordial Spirit's manifestation in reality.
«Changed»
Li Che's eyes bright, after the birth of the Primordial Spirit, he could clearly catch the lingering divine essence between heaven and earth, becoming extremely rich.
Even in a single thought, he could draw the divine essence between heaven and earth to surge forth, mobilizing it.
«My divine talent…… is indeed average, but after I gave birth to the Primordial Spirit, it's as if I directly transformed from a middle school student learning junior high knowledge…… perhaps the talent hasn't changed, but the ease has»
Li Che laughed.
Divine talent not being great has always been Li Che's pain.
But now, it has also compensated for much.
Of course it counts as another kind of compensation, but as long as it can increase the speed of divine cultivation, isn't that good?
Li Che stood up, stretched his bones, the crackling sounds like thunder of tigers and leopards.
Qi and blood surged and circulated, roaring angrily in the meridians, like a high-pressure water jet shooting forth, brimming with mighty power.
The birth of the Primordial Spirit also affects the flesh, making Li Che's perception of his own flesh and blood more acute.
His mind became clearer; martial arts and divine cultivation seemed to flow much more smoothly.
Li Che stood still, wind and waves automatically rising around him, swaying accordingly.
His palm rose, five fingers like hooks.
«First Heaven of Divine Ability»
«Black and White Extreme Collapse»
In an instant.
In Li Che's palm appeared a Pure Heart Chess Piece.
The white chess piece was supremely brilliant, its light dazzling; then, with Li Che's thoughts moving, one black chess piece after another emerged, dotted forth.
Scattered dots of three or two fell beside the white Pure Heart Chess Piece.
It seemed as if magnetic attraction drew in, slowly countless black divine chess pieces converged onto the white piece.
The air began to warp, and the powerful, terrifying force of destructive collapse intertwined at the center where the black and white pieces collided and converged.
The endless light was wholly devoured by darkness, like the collapse and explosion of a black hole!
Black‑White Extreme Collapse!
Li Che watched a rotating black sphere materialize in his palm.
It was frightening.
If the Great Avalanche is triggered by the violent collisions between divine chess pieces to ignite power,
then the Black‑White Extreme Collapse…
is compression, collapse, devouring…
When the collapse and devouring reach their utmost, they then erupt in silence!
The power…
is even more terrifying!
Just by feeling the black sphere's power in his palm, Li Che's hair stood on end, a strong sense of threat filling his heart!
Even his Furnace Sect Master's mortal body would likely not withstand the distortion and annihilation of this black sphere's power!
Li Che's gaze grew ever brighter!
"Black‑White Extreme Collapse… if employed properly, it's a great killing weapon not weaker than the Guanyin Lotus Bomb."
Li Che muttered.
The Dao Fruit of the Immortal Artisan thumped to life, already pondering how to refine the power of this "Black‑White Extreme Collapse" into a great killing weapon.
He clenched his five fingers.
The power of the Black‑White Extreme Collapse thundered away.
It transformed into a divine chess piece, returning to the Chess Saint's chessboard.
Li Che exhaled a long breath, and the oppressive sense of destruction vanished instantly.
"The power is great, but it's equally hard to control…"
"Danger and power coexist."
The Primordial Soul unexpectedly coalesced, and Li Che felt rather pleased.
At least, the condensed Primordial Soul, feeding back to aid divine cultivation, is an excellent thing.
⊙ttkΛn⊙co
In a good mood, Li Che's gaze fell upon the Spirit Monkey Temple God, and a smile gradually spread.
With the tip of his toe touching down, his form appeared beside the Spirit Monkey Temple God statue, extending a luminous palm toward its battered head.
Although the Star‑Plucking Eye can also draw the temple god's divinity, Li Che still felt that using his own hand would be more perceptible.
Ah—
Dog‑cunt!
Get lost!
The Spirit Monkey Temple God seemed to scream.
In the Guiyi Miao, an unseen wailing sound swirled like a low thunder.
…
…
Golden Light Mansion.
The rain showed no sign of stopping; the continual downpour left a thick layer of standing water on the ground of the mansion city.
The events outside the Qin Tian Observatory spread through the entire mansion city at breakneck speed; the fall of a Divine Primordial Real Person terrified everyone to the extreme.
The dread and fear of the Underworld reached an unprecedented height.
However, the City Lord's Mansion took no action, merely dispatching the Divine Guard Army to clear the ground and the corpse of the Hunting God Pavilion Master, then suppressed all matters.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion.
The Little Prince Ji Hai was immensely terrified, his body trembling slightly.
He looked toward the Shadow Guard Real Person as if seeking help.
Though the Shadow Guard Real Person was wholly merged with darkness, his expression was exceedingly solemn.
"Little Prince, rest assured, the Hunting God Pavilion Master was killed by the Underworld, but… I am confident I can protect your safety."
"If the Underworld truly moves to slay the Little Prince, I will swiftly take him out of Golden Light City."
The Shadow Guard Real Person's words, though solemn, were still fairly relaxed.
It was confidence in his own strength.
"The Hunting God Pavilion is merely an initial venture in the mansion's affairs, so the dispatched Pavilion Master's strength is average; although he is a Divine Primordial Real Person, he is only at the Primordial Soul Shedding Mid Realm."
"He can only produce a Golden Core Golden Silk, and has not even grasped a hint of a golden body prototype, which is why the Underworld's beasts jointly killed him."
The Shadow Guard Real Person said.
Of course, he said that only to ease the Little Prince.
The Underworld's threat even made the Shadow Guard Real Person's scalp tingle.
Although he is at the Primordial Soul Shedding Late Realm, the Underworld's countless schemes to kill him would still cause him considerable loss.
The main reason is…
Xue Dufu died and was resurrected, now standing on the Underworld's side.
This is truly disheartening.
Fortunately, there are six Black Armor Blood Guards, all top‑rank masters; together they can confront a Great Sect Master, and the formation they form can at least block a Great Sect Master who has gathered twenty divine spears.
The Little Prince's expression turned bitter.
"My father, the king, wanted to stay low‑key… but it has tormented me."
"Who would have thought that Jinguang Mansion City actually has an underworld faction that gives my father no respect at all."
The young prince felt an immense heaviness in his heart.
Shadow Guard Immortal frowned, "Young prince, pull yourself together."
"I have already sent the news to the prince; once the prince receives it, he will surely dispatch strongmen to respond. For now, we must focus on the Temple God Resonance Conference."
"The latest news says the convoy from Dao City can enter the mansion city tonight… roughly within these few days, the Temple God Resonance Conference should commence."
"When the conference ends, we will leave the mansion city immediately…"
"The underworld threatens the young prince so…"
"The prince will settle the scores sooner or later!"
The young prince's face gradually brightened as he heard this.
……
……
Li Che inhaled a satisfied breath from Guiyi Miao and returned to the small courtyard in Luohua Alley.
The many avatars of "Immortal in the Painting" stepped out of the scroll, each smoothly taking a Divine Essence Crystal from Li Che's hand, sitting cross‑legged to nurture their nature, and observing the deity statue.
Now, Li Che's seven Divine Foundations have all reached the Divine Foundation Later Realm, and he is launching an assault on the Divine Image Realm.
This is a water‑grinding technique; one cannot rush it. Li Qingshan spent two and a half years observing the divine foot, and he only has one layer of Divine Foundation.
Li Che, however, has seven layers of Divine Foundation, which is even more troublesome.
The seven layers of Divine Foundation give Li Che a massive base; not only can he ignore the rank pressure of the Divine Image, but his divine outburst and total amount also surpass ordinary Divine Images.
If one were to step into the seven Sovereign Divine Images…
Li Che feels that even considering only the cultivation of nurturing nature, it is not weaker than the Prime Image!
After settling his cultivation, Li Che hesitated whether to also prepare a round of Fire God Furious Crocodile Mechanism Cannon for Xixi…
Without much hesitation, Li Che directly took out the six‑grade spirit wood Fire God Furious Crocodile wood, cut off a piece, and began crafting the mechanism cannon.
Because of his prior experience, Li Che's second attempt went much faster.
He even planned to dye this Xixi‑version Fire God Cannon a soft pink.
Girls…
Even when playing with fireworks, they must be pink and cute.
That's adorable.
Of course, even a small‑scale Fire God Mechanism Cannon is not easy to polish and craft; it still requires a few days.
Tidied up the courtyard.
With the Divine Origin Immortal of the Hunting God Pavilion dead, the deterrent hidden in the darkness vanished, and Li Che felt completely relaxed.
A Divine Origin Immortal brings a huge threat; now that it has been removed, he feels refreshed.
"However, within Jinguang Mansion City… besides the head of the Hunting God Pavilion, there is also a Seven‑Element Chief Corpse God Envoy of the Corpse God Sect."
"Li Qingshan told me that this Seven‑Element Upper‑Rank Corpse God Envoy orchestrated many evils around the mansion city; the original lord of Fēiléichéng, Cao Guang, was deceived into holding a thousand‑infant banquet, allowing the Spirit Infant Sect to run rampant, which was linked to this Seven‑Element Upper‑Rank Corpse God Envoy."
"His surname is Yuan, given name Jingang; it is said he only has half‑step cursed silver corpse cultivation, but… the intelligence from the Temple Guard Department reports that Yuan Jingang has already stepped into the Cursed Silver Corpse Realm."
Li Che propped an oil‑paper umbrella, his ink‑colored shirt flapping wildly in the pillar‑like storm wind.
He walked along the alley and arrived at a small restaurant in the rain.
A big black dog lay at the doorway, tongue out, gazing at the rain curtain, rather poetic.
A rich aroma wafted from inside the restaurant.
Li Che approached.
Ding—
The door swung open, and the sound of a bell being touched rang out.
"Shopkeeper, I'll have braised pork trotters and green pepper beef…"
Li Che listed several dish names in succession.
All were hearty dishes.
A faint voice came from the kitchen.
"Wait a moment."
Li Che found a seat near the door and sat, exchanging a wide stare with the big black dog.
The wind whistled, blowing the rain slanted onto the ground, producing a series of splash sounds.
A breeze laden with rain brushed his cheek; Li Che leaned against the doorframe, comfortably squinting.
His ink shirt fluttered, legs crossed, body and mind relaxed like never before.
All the fighting and killing, Li Che actually does not enjoy.
But being born in this world, one cannot choose one's destiny.
Li Che only needs to use his hands to forge a peaceful life.
With the head of the Hunting God Pavilion dead, they should have no further danger in the short term.
That Divine Origin Immortal Shadow Guard likely will not act; his purpose is to protect the young prince.
The only threat is probably the utterly mysterious Corpse God Envoy Yuan Jingang of the Corpse God Sect, even Li Che has not yet uncovered his identity.
Li Che thinks the Corpse God Envoy's Corpse Curse Seal is likely of Six‑Division rank.
However, the Corpse God Sect has been repeatedly struck by the underworld, so the opponent likely dares not make changes.
The main point is…
Chess Saint's Dao Fruit upgraded to LV4, and the Fēiléichess pieces now move faster.
Moreover, it has upgraded with a new ability…
It can shift together with others!
Li Che raised his hand, and a chess piece glowing with white light kept pulsing on his fingertip.
Playing with the piece, Li Che felt content.
It can fly with others like thunder…
Xixi's safety is now even more assured.
Can't beat it…
Then we can run.
The big black dog lying on the ground flicked its lively eyes at Li Che, who was playing with the chess piece, then let out a snort and settled back down.
A rich aroma of vegetables drifted out from the kitchen.
"Shopkeeper, thanks,"
Li Che tossed a gold leaf, and with a bright smile received the hot dish the shopkeeper had prepared.
Naturally, this meal wasn't worth a gold leaf, but Li Che was happy to give one.
Leaving the restaurant, Li Che stepped out of the alley, clenching his five fingers.
In an instant, when he reappeared, he was already at the mid‑slope of Zheng Lei Peak.
Brushing the rain droplets from his body, Li Che smiled brightly and stepped into the courtyard.
"Wahahaha! It's braised pork trotters! Xixi loves dad the most!"
Xixi's baby‑like, delighted scream floated out from the misty, rain‑shrouded lantern‑lit courtyard.
…
…
Night fell.
It was deep.
The charging convoy broke through the heavy wind and rain; the Jiao Horse's qi and blood boiled, heat steaming, vaporizing the rain.
The hooves struck, splashing water.
"Dao City Town Temple Superintendent Zhu Chaoyang, escorting the Divine Sect elder to Golden Light Mansion City! Open the city gates quickly!"
Before even approaching, a mighty voice erupted from within the carriage.
It was pure, domineering qi and blood, the sound of which fused with the air, a supremely refined Guang Qi manipulation technique.
Grand Master!
The commander guarding the city gate fixed his gaze, showed no hesitation, and immediately opened the gate.
Boom—
The towering Jiao Horse hauled the carriage, rushing into the city at breakneck speed, galloping along the vast main avenue of the mansion city!
The wheels rolled over, spraying water.
The carriage moved at extreme speed.
Within Golden Light Mansion City.
All factions sensed it as well.
Lord's Residence.
The Shadow Guard Immortal opened his eyes the instant the convoy entered the city, appearing beside the meditating Xiao Wangye.
"They're here!"
"Dao City Town Temple Superintendent Zhu Chaoyang, and the Qian Yuan Divine Sect elder… escorting the Four Imperial Divine Weapons, the Prison Lotus Wind‑Fire Golden Light Wheel, are arriving!"
The Shadow Guard Immortal said in a deep voice.
"We have not yet sensed which elder of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect…"
"But anyone who can become an elder of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect must at least be at the Divine Core realm; we do not know whether they are a Nascent Soul shedding or a Golden Body shedding."
Xiao Wangye opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"It's good they're here; this means the Temple God Resonance Conference is about to commence…"
"When the conference ends, I can leave this cursed place."
A smile involuntarily appeared on Xiao Wangye's face.
The Shadow Guard Immortal fell silent, saying nothing more.
Xiao Wangye then let out a snort: "That Underworld Monkey still threatens us… saying it will eliminate the people around me one by one, affecting my participation in the Temple God Resonance."
"It's too late now, right?"
Xiao Wangye smiled.
"Xiao Wangye, that's not important; what matters is the Temple God Resonance. Old Prince has great expectations of you… you must give it your all."
"The Eight‑armed Prison Lotus Furious Third Prince Guiyi Miao contains the Four Imperial Temple God Inheritance; once obtained, your future could even surpass that of the other princes."
The Shadow Guard Immortal said earnestly.
"Even if the inheritance is not obtained, if you can acquire the other Prison Lotus Wind‑Fire Golden Light Wheel hidden in the Strange Gate, that would also suffice."
Xiao Wangye stopped smiling.
His expression grew solemn.
"I will not disappoint my father."
…
…
Above Golden Light Peak.
The divine hall doors are wide open.
Chinese: Actually the line after 【303】 is commentary, but the Chinese source is likely the same as 【302】? Wait the pattern: They gave 【302】 line, then 【303】 line is a comment about translation. But the Chinese source for 【303】 is not given; maybe it's a mistake. However we must output something for 【303】. The Chinese text might be empty? But we need to output a line. Perhaps we should treat 【303】 as having no Chinese, thus output nothing? But they said output exactly one line per item. So we must output something; maybe we just output the English translation they gave: "The divine hall doors are wide open." But that duplicates 【302】. However maybe the intention is that each numbered line includes Chinese text; the commentary lines are not numbered? Actually look: The text:
We must keep it as a single line.

Nan Lihuo's white hair flew.
He walked out with his hands behind his back.
Wang Kuyu did not know when the floating and sinking swayed.

We need to keep it as one sentence? The Chinese uses commas. We'll keep similar punctuation.
Thus: "Nan Lihuo's white hair flew, he stepped out with hands behind his back, Wang Kuyu did not know when the floating and sinking swayed, and he had already appeared before the divine hall doors."
But we need to ensure we didn't add extra info. The phrase "floating and sinking swayed" should be rendered as "the ebb and flow swayed." That's a literal translation.

The carriage traveled onward.

The massive winter rain hammered the carriage's roof, slapping the burly driver who pulled the wagon.

Translation: "With his other hand, his thumb tapped repeatedly between the index and middle fingers' creases, forming seals, causing the inner divinity to seemingly solidify and cover the golden wheel."

Translation: "Closing his eyes, he let the carriage jostle, as if drifting into sleep."
Suddenly.
