Chapter 194

Xixi's voice carried a hint of showing off.

Children like to show off when they get something good; that's quite normal. Although Xixi is more mature than her peers, she's still just a four-year-old girl.

So her voice spread, causing the expressions of those nearby—Nan Lihuo, Wang Kuyu, and others—to shift slightly.

"【Eight-Armed Three-Faced Prison Lotus Indestructible Divine Embryo Method】?"

Nan Lihuo's expression changed slightly.

It sounded as if thunder had crashed down beside his ear!

Divine Embryo Method!

Moreover, it is a method capable of taking one straight to the Divine Embryo realm—a Three Pure–level art!

Xixi said it was Three Pure–level, and that's no exaggeration—after all, such things can't be faked; you can tell real from fake at a glance.

But……

This Guiyi Miao is only Four Sovereigns–level—how could it possibly produce a Three Pure–level divine method?!

Nan Lihuo and Wang Kuyu were both shaken in mind and spirit.

They didn't care about the boast in Xixi's words, nor whether it would attract the attention of others with ulterior motives.

Even if it truly is a Three Pure–level divine method, it is still a gift from the temple deity, requiring an extremely high resonance with the Guiyi Miao's deity to cultivate.

Others simply cannot cultivate it; it is an exclusive divine method for Xixi!

So, even though Xixi's divine method is Three Pure–level, basically no one would specially covet it.

But what truly draws attention is that Xixi actually obtained a Three Pure–level divine method from a Four Sovereigns Guiyi Miao!

Li Che also noticed the expressions of Nan Lihuo and Wang Kuyu.

His brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Sect Master, Senior Wang…… is there something strange?"

Li Che couldn't help but ask on Xixi's behalf.

Wang Kuyu stroked his beard, speaking softly: "The strange points naturally exist; of course, Xixi is fine. Obtaining such a Dharma is a tremendous fortune for this girl……"

"We find it strange that Xixi actually managed to obtain the Three Pure Ones Dharma……"

"After all, this Guiyi Miao of the Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Furious Third Prince is merely of the Four Sovereigns level, not the Three Pure Ones level."

Wang Kuyu's expression turned grave.

Nan Lihuo's expression also shifted; gazing at the surging waves, as if a prison lotus blossoming in the hellish Yellow Springs, his heart involuntarily clenched.

"If Xixi truly obtained the Three Pure Ones Dharma……"

Wang Kuyu glanced at Li Che, then his gaze fell back onto Xixi.

He drew a deep breath and exhaled, his voice trembling slightly.

"This indicates……"

"The upper limit of this Third Prince Guiyi Miao……"

"It is very likely of the Three Pure Ones level! Not the Four Sovereigns!"

Boom——!

It was as if thunderous roars rolled and exploded above the river!

Li Che's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a hint of astonishment flickered in his pupils.

Thinking of the eerie images he had seen with his Star-Plucking Eye, peering into the void and returning to truth, his heart also gave a slight start.

Three Pure Ones…… Guiyi Miao?

"Of course, it's merely a possibility…… even, it can be understood as this Third Prince Guiyi Miao possibly being elevated to a Three Pure Ones Guiyi Miao."

Nan Lihuo shook his head and spoke in a low voice.

No matter how you say it, this is not good news.

Xixi and her little companions, on the other hand, were unaware of the matters the adults were wary of.

Each one extravagantly praised Xixi, the Great Emperor.

Especially Hai Chaosheng, Gongyang Xiu, Gong Yuanliang and others, who flocked to Xixi, becoming extremely familiar, making Xixi a bit conceited.

After all, these little companions' words are truly pleasant to hear.

In the distance.

Tie Shancai found Zhu Chanyang, his face full of resentment and displeasure.

He was dissatisfied with his performance in this temple god resonance, actually being outshone by three divine and spirit children from Golden Light Prefecture.

What annoyed Tie Shancai most was that he didn't even catch a glimpse of the Purple Flame Serpent Spear Fire-tip Lance.

This shouldn't be!

His mother personally went to consult the Grand Supervisor; the Grand Supervisor's calculation for him—how could it be wrong?

The Grand Supervisor said the Purple Flame Serpent Spear Fire-tip Lance would appear in this Guiyi Miao.

Therefore, he traveled a thousand miles to participate in this temple god resonance.

As a result, he gained nothing!

Tie Shancai's temper was about to explode; he crossed his arms in defiance, his face grim and unhappy.

"The Purple Flame Serpent Spear Fire-tip Lance matches my Samadhi Fire perfectly; if such a spear truly existed, it would surely be drawn to me, but it isn't…… there are only two possibilities."

"First, the Grand Supervisor miscalculated, and the fire-tip spear is not in this Guiyi Miao; second, the Grand Supervisor did not miscalculate, the fire-tip spear is here, but…… someone got it ahead of time."

? CO

Tie Shancai's analysis was reasonable and logical.

Zhu Chanyang looked at Tie Shancai with some helplessness.

"And then?"

What do you want?

Tie Shancai shook his small, radish‑like head: "I'm leaning toward the second option, so I'll stay in the prefecture city for a while."

"I must find that Purple Flame Snake Spear Fire‑tip Lance!"

"I have to find it!"

Tie Shancai's words made Zhu Chaoyang's brows furrow: "Too dangerous."

"Besides, just because you think it's uncertain whether anyone has actually obtained that fire‑tip spear, even if you really found the person who got it, would you really just go and snatch it?"

Zhu Chaoyang asked.

Tie Shancai tilted his head and looked at Zhu Chaoyang, this Grand Master.

"Is that not allowed?"

……

……

Click‑click!

Sudden wind and rain, lightning and thunder, the world grew dark.

The Temple God Resonance affair came to a complete close.

Numerous caravan convoys began to return from the banks of the Nine Dragon River into Jin Guang Prefecture City.

Xixi was held by Li Che in the carriage, chattering nonstop about how powerful she had been in the Temple God Resonance.

"Mom! That Temple God is awful—it wanted Xixi to cut off her flesh and pull out her bones! It's terrible, actually trying to make Xixi abandon her mom and dad!"

Xixi clenched her tiny fists; even now thinking about it made her furious.

Xixi couldn't imagine how horrible and painful life would be without her dad and mom.

Upon hearing that, Zhang Ya instantly felt heartbroken, scooped up Xixi, and pressed her cheek against Xixi's chubby face, rubbing it repeatedly.

"My precious treasure Xixi, you truly are my heart and soul!"

Zhang Ya felt terrible—such a young age, yet she had to endure this kind of human trial in the Temple God Resonance.

Of course, Zhang Ya also felt sorry for that Third Prince; she couldn't imagine how dreadful his ordeal must have been.

Xixi nestled into Zhang Ya's embrace, reached out to hug her mother, and, feeling wronged, began to accuse Lü Chi.

She said that starting today she would break off with Lü Chi and never be his friend again.

"Mom, from now on don't make any tasty food for Lü Chi, and don't let him come to our house to eat!" Xixi said seriously.

She's young, and her mind isn't big either.

Zhang Ya heard that and paused.

Li Che beside her reached out and ruffled Xixi's head: "All right, Dad promises you."

Huang Mao, minus one.

Li Che was naturally happy.

"Lü Chi won't play with Xixi?"

He, Li Che's daughter, isn't even precious.

Li Che naturally stood unconditionally on his daughter's side, although he knew Lü Chi likely chose to pull out bones and cut flesh for a high compatibility in the Temple God Resonance.

But…

"What does that have to do with Xixi?"

"What gives you the right to cold‑violence Li Che's daughter?"

Li Che not personally smashing Lü Chi's head to pieces is already merciful, out of respect for Li Qingshan's face.

Fine steeds neighed; the carriage fetched by Shangguan Qinghong galloped through the downpour, speeding swiftly toward Jin Guang Prefecture.

Xixi clung to Li Che like a koala: "Dad… Xiao Pangzhi Zhou Peng said Xixi did so well in this Temple God Resonance that she'll soon go to Dao City together with Elder Grandfather, right?"

Upon hearing that, Li Che paused, ruffled Xixi's head, and said gently: "Xixi has become very powerful now, with so much hidden inside her… she needs to go to Dao City to cultivate, to become strong enough."

Xixi's long lashes fluttered, her mouth pouted: "Will Dad and Mom go with Xixi?"

"Xiao Pangzhi Zhou Peng said Dad and Mom can't go with Xixi to the true Divine Sect, and Sister Yun'e said the same—that Xixi going to Dao City to cultivate in the Divine Sect can't bring Dad and Mom because they can't enter the Divine Sect's mountain gate."

"So Xixi wouldn't have to go all that way alone and be pitiful, would she?"

Xixi said pitifully.

Li Che's heart melted as he held Xixi: "Don't worry, wherever Xixi goes, Mom and Dad will follow—she's still little, how could we let her go alone?"

Xixi blinked her eyes and instantly became happy.

"Really?"

She looked at Mom: "Really, Mom?"

Zhang Ya instantly smiled: "Really, really—Mom doesn't want to part from Xixi either."

Zhang Ya felt her husband would surely solve this problem, and she trusted him completely.

Li Che nodded warmly and confidently.

Xixi instantly cheered: "Daddy and Mommy pinky promise with Xixi, no cheating Xixi!"

Xixi extended the little fingers of both hands, each hooking one.

"Daddy and Mommy with Xixi."

"Pinky swear, hang for a hundred years, no changing!"

Boom!

The sky was overcast, and a startling thunderclap echoed from behind the clouds.

The galloping carriage carried a family of three.

Gradually entering the depths of the rain curtain.

…… (ellipsis) – likely just "……". Should we translate? It's just ellipsis. Probably keep as "……". No names.

…… same.

Xixi certainly has to go to Dao City; training inside the orthodox Qianyuan Divine Sect is the best fit for her.

Upon returning to the Jin Guang branch sect.

Li Ye went to look for Nan Lihuo and asked him this question.

Nan Lihuo led Li Ye to Jiao Shaqiu.

Nan Lihuo had been away from the sect's mountain gate for too long, so he couldn't give Li Ye a definite answer.

Hearing this, Jiao Shaqiu's gaunt, aged face showed a hint of helplessness: "Xixi has obtained the second round of the Hell Lotus Wind-Fire Golden Light Wheel..."

Keeping Xixi in Jin Guang Fu City is too dangerous; besides, she has obtained a Three Purities-level divine technique. Even if others can't cultivate it, being a Three Purities sect will inevitably draw the covetous eyes of those with ulterior motives.

Moreover, Xixi's resonance with the temple god is as high as ninety percent; she has condensed the Hell Lotus Divine Sigil, gaining immense temple god divinity. This divinity will assist her divine cultivation, enabling her to swiftly master the Eight-Armed Three-Faced Hell Lotus Indestructible Divine Fetus Method.

These temple god divinities are double-edged; they can bring both benefits and harm. If they become agitated, they could very well erode Xixi's consciousness.

Thus, only by joining the orthodox Qianyuan Divine Sect can we properly monitor and suppress these temple god divinities, guaranteeing her safety.

Xixi now is akin to a minor temple deity.

Jiao Shaqiu even cracked a rare joke, laughing as he said.

The little temple god, Xixi?

Li Ye's face indeed grew much more grave.

Besides, the Corpse God Sect and the Hunt God Pavilion have been hunting the temple gods of various strange temples, siphoning their power...

A minor temple god like Xixi will become their main target...

They will even target Xixi, coveting the temple god divinity hidden within her.

So, for Xixi's safety, I suggest we set out as soon as possible for Dao City, to the mountain gate of the Qianyuan Divine Sect.

Jiao Shaqiu said solemnly.

As for you and your wife, according to the Qianyuan orthodox sect's rules, they will provide you with a residence in Dao City, but entry into the sect's mountain gate is forbidden.

This has always been the sect's rule: disciples' relatives may not enter the mountain gate, but they may live in Dao City and get a chance to meet once a month.

Li Ye frowned: "Is there no exception?"

Xixi is only four; we can't bear to part with her.

Jiao Shaqiu fell silent.

Xixi is indeed very young, but the sect selects child prodigies—many three- or four-year-olds are sent there by their parents early on.

Separated from their families, they study and cultivate in seclusion.

Actually, there is indeed a way.

The Daoist Wang beside him flicked his dust whisk and then spoke.

Li Ye looked over, clasped his fists, and asked.

Xixi's father is a master woodcarver, and it's said he now serves as a second-rank guest official at the Imperial Observatory.

Therefore, if Master Li Ye passes the woodcarver assessment of the sect's Divine Eagle Ridge, he can become a sect member and naturally be allowed to stay within the mountain gate. Wang Kuyu said with a smile.

Jiao Shaqiu rolled his eyes: "How could that be easy? Our sect's Divine Eagle Ridge gathers the top woodcarving masters of the entire Lingnan Dao..."

Li Ye wanting to become a woodcarver master of Divine Eagle Ridge... the difficulty is no less than that of an outer sect disciple striving for true transmission!

The level of a second-rank guest official at the Imperial Observatory... is not enough.

Jiao Shaqiu looked at Li Ye, seeing he seemed somewhat moved, and thus did not pour cold water on him further.

After all, this is indeed a viable method, although the difficulty is much greater, basically there is little hope.

But if Li Ye tries himself and fails, he'll likely say nothing more.

In Jiao Shaqiu's view, child prodigies leaving their parents to apprentice at the Divine Sect is quite normal.

Only by separating from their parents can children become independent and grow more quickly...

If Master Li Ye wishes to try, I will recommend you a spot when the time comes.

Jiao Shaqiu said.

Upon hearing this, Li Ye clasped his fists in gratitude.

…… (ellipsis)

…… (ellipsis)

Splash splash.

Rainwater fell from tens of thousands of feet, striking the crimson membrane and instantly evaporating into rising vapor!

Whoosh——!

Inhale——!

Jin Guang Fu, Luohua Alley, inside the independent workshop courtyard.

Li Ye's whole body glowed like a branding iron; every bit of flesh trembled slightly, his five fingers clenched, and as he jerked, the air exploded, stirring the entire courtyard's airflow!

It seemed as if countless flood dragons coiled around his body!

His tendons and bones violently rubbed and trembled; the major tendons beneath his membrane, like flood dragons, wound tightly, each jerk bursting with explosive sound!

The furnace-like qi and blood surged, roaring like a huge wave without cease!

The heaven-and-earth chessboard enveloped the entire courtyard, isolating and sealing off all perception and detection.

This also gave Li Ye the confidence to freely circulate his qi and blood for cultivation without worry!

Within his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra dao fruit throbbed vigorously; as it jumped, it seemed as if electric currents intertwined and surged throughout his body!

Li Ye seemed to have divine aid, as if entering a state of sudden enlightenment.

The maturity of the Dao fruit increased after blasting the Martial Saint's will — starting now, a frenzied feedback begins!

Li Che directly cultivated the "Ten Dragons Subduing the Divine"; his formidable martial arts talent let him cultivate it at breakneck speed!

With a stir of his mind and spirit, he clenched his five fingers and thrust a horizontal punch.

The Niwan's inner vista trembled and roared; the seven cycles divine foundation simultaneously drew out divinity, merging it into Li Che's fist; in the vibrating moment, the seven emotions divinity fused into the Ten Dragons Subduing the Divine stance, instantly turning into a dense net of dragon-shadow qi that blanketed the whole small courtyard!

Boom—boom—boom—

The floor tiles cracked under the strain, the air kept exploding, and the blasted air vortices kept swirling.

"Ten Dragons Subduing the Divine… accomplished!"

Li Che lowered his arms, all his pores opened, and in an instant scorching heat surged like a pressure cooker's blast, churning nonstop.

"In three days, having fully absorbed the Dao fruit's feedback from the Dragon-Elephant Vajra, this martial sage's secret art is truly perfected…"

Time flowed like water; three days passed in the snap of a finger.

"I told you, Ji Moli doesn't understand this Ten Dragons Subduing the Divine like I do…"

Li Che smiled.

He walked into the house in the courtyard.

The interior was bustling.

【In-Painting Immortal】 clones, each one cultivating fervently, nurturing divinity.

Each one was striving to break into the Divine Appearance realm.

Of course, besides that, Li Che also began cultivating the Six Desires divinity.

Li Che had slain so many Corpse God Sect emissaries, and in doing so he had also collected two volumes of the Six Desires divinity arts.

"They are the "White Bone Bodhisattva Killing Life by Touch Divinity Method" and the "Desire Compared to Corpse Flesh Avalokitesvara Divinity Method"…"

These are the touch and desire aspects of the Six Desires divinity…

As for the other four desires, they are still missing.

"Still lacking the methods for sight, hearing, smell, and tongue—the four desires divinity…" Li Che's gaze fell on the two clones cultivating the Six Desires divinity in the corner.

Efficiency wasn't low either; in three days they had already successfully cultivated to 'nurturing nature like a stream'.

"Once the seven emotions and six desires divinities are gathered, this Ten Dragons Subduing the Divine martial sage's secret art can reach the master level…"

Actually, for Li Che, the Ten Dragons Subduing the Divine suits him perfectly; it's basically a matter of course.

Because gathering the seven emotions and six desires divinities required for cultivating the Ten Dragons Subduing the Divine is the difficult point.

But for Li Che, this is not a difficulty.

After scanning around.

Watching the diligent In-Painting Immortal clones train, Li Che smiled with satisfaction.

His mind and spirit stirred.

Before his eyes, flowing light flickered.

【Dao Fruit: In-Painting Immortal (lv2, 70%)】

"Giving birth to the In-Painting Immortal Dao Fruit hasn't taken long; reaching lv3 is soon, indeed, squeezing the clones and giving them more tasks is what speeds up their growth."

Li Che sat on the chair.

He closed his eyes, his mind and spirit stirred; the next moment, every inch of his flesh and blood seemed to come alive, vibrating at a rate of hundreds of cycles per second.

It burst forth with the sound of a dragon's roar and an elephant's trumpet!

This was Li Che integrating the 'Ten Dragons Subduing the Divine' martial sage's secret art into the Myriad Transformations Dragon-Elephant.

During the fusion process, Li Che's mind and spirit sank into the Heaven-Earth chessboard.

and linked with the deployed In-Painting Immortal clone scouts.

……

The lord's manor.

This was a place where the In-Painting Immortal clone, endowed with one-third of Li Che's qi and blood, kept watch.

Three days passed, and the lord's manor lay in utter silence.

The gates were shut tight, draped with white mourning cloth.

No visitors were received, and none of the factions of the Golden Light Prefecture would stir trouble at this time.

The young prince Ji Haihui had died, his corpse having been brought back to the lord's manor three days ago; though they had agreed to move it out of the city, nothing had stirred.

Inside the lord's manor.

White mourning cloth was draped.

Su Huai wore white robes, his complexion somewhat pallid.

The Shadow Guard True Person and six black-armored blood guards had their arms bound with white mourning cloth.

Before them lay the coffin of Ji Haihui.

They said they would transport Ji Haihui's corpse back to meet the prince and princess, but of course they couldn't just lug a corpse back like that.

During these three days, Su Huai sought out a woodcarving master in the city, who used sacred wood to carve and craft a coffin.

He also summoned the city's finest mortician to prepare the young prince's corpse.

Only the blood wound on his forehead, filled with deathly and corpse qi, intertwined with silver gangrene, remained gruesome and could not be smoothed away.

At least, it counted as completing the placement of the young prince's corpse.

"It probably wasn't the Corpse God Sect's doing… in the Golden Light Prefecture, the Corpse God Sect's strong ones have mostly been rooted out by the netherworld's ox-headed and horse-faced guardians."

"The only one who could possibly have made a move is Yuan Gangjin."

The Shadow Guard True Person said in a low voice.

"It won't be Yuan Gangjin." Su Huai shook his head, stating firmly.

The Shadow Guard True Person's gaze, hidden in the shadows, swept over.

"Why are you so certain?"

Su Huai li shook his head and sighed.

"I know Yuan Jingang."

At that time, he had not entered the Deceitful Gate.

The Shadow Guard True Person fell silent.

Who killed the young lord has almost become a mystery.

No matter how they guessed, they could not figure out the reason.

"Could it be the Underworld?"

Su Huai li suddenly spoke up, uttering a name.

"The Underworld certainly has motive; Ox-Head and Horse-Face, as well as the Divine Monkey, they killed Xue Dufu, so it's not impossible they killed the young lord."

"But how are we to explain this corpse qi, death qi, and silver gang?"

The Shadow Guard True Person asked in a low voice.

"The Corpse God Sect… cannot escape responsibility; the Underworld also has issues… Everything… after we return, we will report to the lord and have the lord take action to avenge the young lord."

"The Corpse God Sect's evil ones within Golden Light Prefecture, as well as the Underworld, and the Hunt God Pavilion… none can escape responsibility; they all must die!"

"And… that little girl on Golden Light Peak!"

"A country bumpkin little girl, daring to call the young lord her little servant… utterly audacious! She must not be let off!"

The Shadow Guard True Person really had a splitting headache, almost going mad.

The young lord is dead, and he bears an inescapable responsibility.

Although it's not his fault, after all, he couldn't keep up with the temple god's resonance.

Thus, this Divine Origin True Person feels stifled and helpless.

Therefore, he only has one thought left.

Let it be destroyed; he is too tired.

"Once we've finished cleaning up… we will set off, taking the young lord back… to see the lord and lady."

"Take the young lord…"

"Go home."

The Shadow Guard True Person said in a low voice.

The six black-armored blood guards looked sorrowful; in the next moment, the six of them lifted the young lord's coffin.

They prepared to carry the coffin all the way back to see the lord.

Su Huai li stepped back a step, his face mournful, and clasped his hands in a salute.

The Shadow Guard True Person walked at the forefront.

The six black-armored blood guards, carrying the luxuriously carved spirit-wood coffin, silently followed behind.

Clatter—

White spirit money splashed.

For a moment, it seemed as if a sorrowful wind and rain howled and surged.

The feeling of sorrow almost became substantial.

Creak—

The gate of the lord's manor opened.

The funeral procession slowly walked out.

Su Huai li had the Divine Guard troops each wear white silk to send off the young lord leaving Golden Light Prefecture city.

At least, the spectacle must be maximized.

……

Li Che's 【In-Painting Immortal】 clone sat quietly in the teahouse across the way.

Wearing a bamboo hat, clad in dark robes.

Holding a wine cup, he glanced indifferently at the scene after the lord's manor gates were flung open.

He gently set down the cup, pressed down on his bamboo hat in the wind and rain, his expression neither joyful nor sorrowful.

"A country bumpkin little girl?"

"Obviously it was the Ji Hai Society's willingness to bet and not accept defeat… and the result was my daughter's mistake?"

"Little servant, did you shout wrong?"

Li Che raised his face.

"You insulted my Li Che's daughter… and still want to leave?"

……

……

Whoosh—

The fierce wind rolled on.

Inside the room, Li Che suddenly opened his eyes.

"They even organized a funeral procession, its momentum so grand; when entering the city, the commotion was huge; when paying respects at the mountain, a grand master led the way, the spectacle also grand; now… he's dead, yet still wants a grand spectacle?"

Li Che's lips twitched.

Inside the lord's manor, Su Huai li and their conversation was heard clearly by Li Che through his Heaven-Earth Chessboard's perception.

"Does Su Huai li know Yuan Jingang?"

"What a coincidence… I know him too."

Li Che also guessed who Yuan Jingang was, or rather, where Yuan Jingang was hiding.

One of Li Che's clones was staring.

"Take your time, those who threaten my daughter, come one by one…"

Li Che stood up, his bones and joints crackling and booming all over.

With a single step, he appeared in the courtyard.

Clenching his fist, his qi and blood burst forth, pouring down as streaks of light that twisted the air.

"Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant… Grand Master realm!"

Li Che spread his five fingers, and the air twisted in his palm.

That was… the True Intent of Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant!

The True Intent produced when Martial Saint's Supreme Art reaches the Grand Master realm!

The True Intent of Martial Saint's Supreme Art, which purifies and tempers the five viscera and six bowels, can condense into Divine Vigour!

Li Che closed his eyes.

"The first true intent of Martial Saint's Supreme Art— which of the five viscera should be tempered?"

"Heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney… the five viscera correspond to the five martial saint supreme arts."

"Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant is my own creation, the manifestation of my original heart, so I will temper my heart with it!"

"With the Dragon Elephant True Intent, tempering the heart, all laws arise from within my heart!"

Li Che's eyes opened and closed.

The next moment, his five fingers clenched tightly; the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant True Intent floating in his palm seemed to explode instantly as if being pinched.

In an instant, it surged upward, crashing into his mighty, robust physique.

Gathering at his chest!

The tremendous impact made even Li Che's powerful furnace-like flesh unstable, causing him to stagger back three steps with consecutive thuds!

When his final step landed heavily!

His chest seemed to turn into a vortex, with dragon chants and elephant trumpets, as the phantom of the dragon elephant appeared behind Li Che!

The qi and blood swirling around his entire body seemed to be ignited by a flame!

Boom——!!

An invisible wave of qi surged and churned in the courtyard in an instant.

Scorching, massive, blazing, violent!

The surging qi rolled upward, seeming to form a blooming mushroom cloud of qi and blood!

Bang bang bang——

Each violent beat of his heart seemed like thunderbolts crashing down!

Powerful and massive to an unbelievable degree!

His closed eyes suddenly opened, brilliant light flashing and instantly illuminating the entire courtyard.

Li Che stood within the mushroom cloud.

His black robe billowed, his black hair flying.

He raised his hand, between his fingers.

The first wisp of Divine Vigour burst forth!

As if it were the first thunder to fall upon the mortal world!
