Chapter 294: Xixi Great Emperor Masters the Wind‑Fire Golden Light Wheel, the Heaven‑and‑Earth Chessboard Leads to the Hidden Corpse

296. Chapter 291: Xixi Great Emperor masters the Wind‑Fire Golden Light Wheel, the Heaven‑and‑Earth Chessboard leads to the hidden Corpse God Realm 【Seeking votes】

The minor Divine Sky Five Thunder Killing Talisman—was it successfully drawn?!

Li Che's eyes instantly brightened; he had intended to head to the area around Divine Eagle Ridge to scout the hidden base of the Corpse God Sect's evildoers, but he instantly scrapped the plan.

That is a mid‑rank talisman of the Five Elders!

Although Li Che is aided by the 【Immortal in the Painting】 Dao Fruit and can now draw talismans of the Sixth Office rank, he basically cannot draw talismans below the Five Elders' rank.

Let alone the mid‑rank minor Divine Sky Five Thunder Killing Talisman of the Five Elders!

Moreover, this talisman holds extraordinary significance for Li Che—far too important!

Besides being usable to refine a thunder‑magnetic core, it also has a huge function: to push the newly acquired Divine Sky ability to its limit.

With Li Che's current talisman‑crafting skill, he still cannot draw the mid‑rank minor Divine Sky Thunder Talisman of the Five Elders, but relying on the prototype of the Divine Sky ability, he might be able to replicate one after another as if pulling a rabbit out of an empty hat...

In other words, on the Lightning Method Divine Talisman Path, Li Che is a half‑saint of talismans!

Furthermore, this talisman is also the key for Li Che to break through the 【Nanmu Immortal Craft Super Electromagnetic Cannon】!

"Alright, then let's go together."

Li Che brushed the black shirt embroidered with golden‑patterned lotuses on his body; it was a garment woven by his wife Zhang Ya, and it is now Li Che's favorite piece of clothing.

However, he must be careful in future battles, for this black shirt cannot withstand the impact of a greatly enlarged flesh and would tear apart.

"Elder Li, please."

Chi Kuang's short cropped purple hair fluttered, his back was immensely muscular, his spine resembled a great dragon, and the bulging neck muscles spread like a king cobra's hood.

Meanwhile, Nie Yang had already arrived by carriage.

Li Che slipped into the carriage; he had intended to invite Chi Kuang to ride together, but Chi Kuang shook his head and declined, taking a seat on the carriage pole and sitting alongside Nie Yang.

Chi Kuang looked at Nie Yang and said, "The teacher said the Fifth Junior Disciple died; now within the Divine Sect, only you can match the Fifth Junior Disciple's sword cultivation, so you still have a chance to reach the Sword Saint realm."

Upon hearing this, Nie Yang's cold face showed little extra expression; he simply nodded.

"Just give it your all."

Chi Kuang nodded, his bronze‑bell‑like eyes shifting to Li Chengzhou.

"Your disciple? His talent is lacking."

"My talent is also lacking, purely compensated by effort and a heart yearning for the sword path."

Nie Yang defended his shortcomings.

He naturally knew Li Chengzhou's talent was poor, but since he chose Li Chengzhou, there must be his reasoning.

Chi Kuang, hearing this, said no more, cracked the reins of the drake‑horse, the carriage wheels turned, crushing dust, and sped toward the Divine Sect direction.

Along the way, Chi Kuang and Nie Yang had little to talk about; both seemed the type who speak little.

They drove straight into the Divine Sect and arrived beneath the Divine Talisman Tower.

"Elder Li, we have arrived."

Nie Yang, holding his sword, bowed and said.

The curtain was pulled aside, Li Che stepped out of the carriage, thanked Nie Yang, and then looked toward the Divine Talisman Tower.

Clang—clang—clang—!

It sounded as if high‑speed metal sheets were grinding, sparks scattering, then Li Che lifted his head, his jet‑black hair whipping in the wind.

He saw Xixi with hands on her hips, a small belly protruding, bare feet, stepping on the Prison Lotus Wind‑Fire Golden Light Wheel, leaping down from the upper floors of the Divine Talisman Tower.

"Dad—Xixi Great Emperor is here!"

"Ahahaha~*burp*~"

Xixi sped along while laughing, suddenly let out a big burp and hurriedly covered her mouth.

She had eaten too many delicious things in the Divine Talisman Tower...

Li Che watched Xixi, stepping on the Wind‑Fire Golden Light Wheel, rushing toward him, and his face instantly softened with a gentle smile.

Xixi flew and pounced onto Li Che, crashing into his arms; the two Golden Light Wheels spun automatically, bearing sparks, hovering silently in the air.

Li Che held Xixi, rubbing her head.

Xixi, following Lu Taibai's cultivation, indeed progressed extremely fast, and so quickly fully mastered the control of the Prison Lotus Wind‑Fire Golden Light Wheel...

Li Che suspected that Lu Taibai might also have sensed the mythic weapon hidden within Xixi's arms.

That purple‑flame serpent spear with a fire‑tipped tip radiated such intense aura that it could not be concealed from the Divine Embryo Great Deity.

However, even the Divine Embryo Great Deity could not enable Xixi, at such a young age, to wield that Divine Weapon fused into her body.

A Divine Weapon merged into the flesh means the weapon chooses its master; unlike ordinary people who merely wield a weapon superficially, the requirements are far higher.

But once one can summon the weapon's true form, the power it can unleash is tremendous!

For example, Xixi, with her foot on the Prison Lotus Wind‑Fire Golden Light Wheel, encountering a Divine Steel Grandmaster, may not be able to counter‑kill, but she can still easily flee.

After a brief chat with Xixi, Xixi saw Chi Kuang, and her eyes lit up.

"Fourth Senior Brother!"

Xixi showed a sweet smile.

Chi Kuang's massive body and wild, unruly face instantly softened into a gentle smile: "Xixi."

Li Che glanced over; it seemed the senior brother and sister got along quite well.

Li Che and Chi Kuang entered the Divine Talisman Tower, while Nie Yang, with Li Chengzhou, guarded downstairs.

"I heard the sect leader has six disciples?" Li Che asked.

Chi Kuang nodded: "Senior Brother Zhuang You, I heard from the teacher that he is a reincarnated temple deity... has been gone to Shendu for a long time; the Lingnan Dao is quite far from Shendu, so many details are unknown."

"The second senior brother is rather special; he belongs to an outer‑realm ancient clan, the Star Tribe among those clans, with extremely strong power... back then, after the master's sword broke his defense, he insisted on taking the master as his teacher; the master had no choice but to accept him... now he trains within the Apparent Saint True Lord's Guiyi Miao."

Chi Kuang introduced to Li Che, while Xixi, being held in Li Che's arms, kept nodding in addition.

"Right, right, I haven't met the second senior brother. The sect leader said that before I go to Shendu for the Peach Banquet, he would take me to see the second senior brother, saying the second senior brother would give me something good..."

Chi Kuang heard that, scratched his head. Should he also prepare some good stuff?

"Then what about your third senior brother?"

Li Che asked.

Chi Kuang fell silent at the words, while Xixi, hands on her hips, was filled with righteous anger: "The third senior brother is a villain, betrayed the sect leader and master, and it seems... it seems he also joined the evil Corpse God Cult!"

Li Che heard that, and his eyes instantly hardened.

"Traitorous to the sect leader? And also joined the Corpse God Cult?"

Li Che's expression grew much colder.

"The third senior brother is named Wei Yuan... I don't understand why he would betray the master. Originally, the third senior brother was the master's most favored Sword Dao Heaven‑prince, even the fifth junior brother couldn't compare."

Chi Kuang said gloomily.

They ascended the circular wooden staircase, and Li Che and the others reached the top floor.

Lu Taibai sat in a chair, leafing through an ancient book shrouded in divine nature.

This is a fine item excavated from the Strange Gate within the Guiyi Miao.

Lu Taibai closed the book; his silver hair was tied with a single military rope, giving a casual look.

"Arrived?"

"The Little Divine Sky Five Thunder Killing Talisman was still quite difficult... Madam failed many times before finally succeeding."

Lu Taibai said with a smile.

"How could I have failed many times? Sir, don't expose my shortcomings!"

Behind the screen, the Sect Leader's Madam Xuan Qisha floated out, dark circles under her eyes, her delicate makeup gone, hair disheveled, looking a bit sloppy.

She saw Li Che, instantly took out a sandalwood box and tossed it to him.

"Here! As promised for the wager, this is the Little Divine Sky Five Thunder Killing Talisman, a Mid‑tier Five Elders Talisman!"

"Be careful, this talisman is extremely powerful... and it's a Thunder Talisman, the most lethal among talismans. If this Mid‑tier Five Elders Talisman is employed, its explosive force surpasses even a cultivator who fully uses divine nature secret techniques with a divine embryo and a divine transformation!"

Xuan Qisha looked at Li Che and instructed.

Li Che took the sandalwood box; Xixi wiggled her two big toes, put away the Golden Light Wheel, and, curious, stretched her neck to look at the talisman inside the box.

After thanking the Sect Leader's Madam, Li Che set Xixi down and opened the sandalwood box.

"Wow—"

"So intricate, so beautiful…"

Xixi's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed.

Just a glance made Xixi feel as if her eyes saw something her mind couldn't quite grasp.

Inside the sandalwood box lay a dark yellow talisman a little over half a foot long, its intricate rune traced in vermilion ink that resembled glass.

In one swift stroke, the talisman was completed.

Within the talisman, Li Che even sensed familiar Heaven‑and‑Earth power, as if a unique field formed, continuously drawing that power into the talisman.

Li Che's eyes flashed brightly; within his chest, the Thunder Magnetic Track Body and the Immortal in the Painting Dao Fruit began to throb in succession!

"Good!"

Li Che praised it.

The floating Sect Leader's Madam rolled her eyes.

"That must be good; the Mid‑tier Five Elders Talisman tolerates no mistake—one error renders the whole talisman void, unable to draw Heaven‑and‑Earth power."

"If you're satisfied, as a Half‑Saint Divine Roc, you should understand the difficulty of forging a Half‑Saint Divine Roc."

The Sect Leader's Madam stretched lazily.

"This has exhausted me; your wife should make me something tasty as compensation!" the Sect Leader's Madam said.

"Xixi too, Xixi too!"

Talking about food, Xixi instantly perked up.

Li Che heard that, a smile curling his lips: "Fine, no problem. I'll go back and have my wife prepare it; tomorrow we'll bring it to the Madam for tasting."

The Sect Leader's Madam brightened: "And we need wine!"

"No problem!"

Li Che fondly toyed with the sandalwood box containing the talisman, his eyes sparkling brilliantly.

Lu Taibai took a sip of tea, patted the ancient book's cover, and said to Li Che: "Ah Che, prepare well. The Erxin Great Saint Temple Divine Roc you carved has reached the Half‑Saint Divine Roc level, so for this venture into the Strange Gate to seek divine weapons, after the sect leader and the Inner Gate Elders discussed, a slot has been allocated for you."

"You can use this time to improve your cultivation and make preparations."

"In the heyday of Qitian Temple, talismans, divine weapons, Divine Roc, and divine pills were unrivaled; the four great Dao paths had reached their peaks, each with many saintly masters presiding."

"So, after the Divine Roc was established, when Dàjǐng attacked Qitian Cheng and expelled the demon emperors occupying the city, my Qian Yuan Divine Sect will recommend you. Of course, if you can obtain the approval of the Free‑Heart Gold‑Iron Divine Staff in the Erxin Great Saint Temple within the Guiyi Miao, that would be best, even bypassing the recommendation process."

Lu Taibai looked at Li Che with deep meaning.

Li Che's eyes flickered; he solemnly nodded.

"Qitian Temple, huh?"

Li Che breathed in and out.

Within the Heaven‑and‑Earth Chessboard.

The damaged Qitian visage trembled slightly.

……

……

The sunshine was bright and beautiful; as spring warmed, rain lessened, the blazing sun rose, occasionally radiating scorching light.

Li Che returned from the Talisman Tower to the Elders' Hall inside the Outer Gate Disciple City.

His wife Zhang Ya had just returned from training with Jiao Shaoqiu, and Li Che recounted the matter of entertaining the Sect Leader's Madam.

"That's not simple; I'll go buy vegetables now!"

Zhang Ya, however, became happy, because entertaining the sect master's wife gave her a chance to see Xixi, whom she hadn't seen in several days.

Xixi was diligently cultivating, and as her mother, she too was diligently cultivating, so as not to drag down her husband and Xixi.

Zhang Ya went to buy vegetables.

Li Che then entered the study, having Nie Yang stand guard, not allowing anyone to come in and disturb.

But upon entering the study, Li Che clenched his five fingers, leaving behind a painting immortal clone, while his own self had already vanished.

The candlelight flickered dimly; upon the altar, the Two-Heart Great Sage divine condor sat quietly.

Li Che appeared inside the Two-Heart Great Sage Guiyi Miao.

It felt like coming home, already extremely familiar.

Having reached the entrance of the Guiyi Miao, outside the ghostly mist constantly roiled, extremely violent, filled with a destructive aura—this was the ghostly gate power stirred up by the rioting ghostly gates.

At this time, anyone entering the ghostly gates must endure ten to a hundred times the original divine consumption.

Therefore, at this time, even a Divine Embryo Great God, if not necessary, would not choose to set foot.

No wonder one must wait for the ghostly mist to subside before proceeding.

Returning inside the temple, gazing upon the Six-Eared Prison Lotus Spirit Monkey Two-Heart Great Sage Temple God divine condor on the altar, Li Che's eyes flickered.

Then, tapping the ground with his toes, his whole body leapt directly onto the altar.

"It's been a long time since I've plucked the temple god's divinity..."

"Just a touch."

Thereafter, Li Che extended his demonic claw!

This Two-Heart Great Sage Guiyi Miao is an upper-tier Guiyi Miao of the Five Elders; its temple god's divinity is naturally of the Five Elders' upper-tier level.

【Immortal Craft】 Dao Fruit, 【Chess Sage】 Dao Fruit throbbed.

The Star-Plucking Pupil activated.

The flesh and blood at the brow tore apart left and right, a golden pupil leapt out, spinning round and round!

Myriad analysis boundless, peering into the void to return to truth!

The immense suction power erupted; the incipient divine ability Thousand Analysis Hand was also triggered, the palm as if transformed into a Thousand Analysis Hand, presenting a jade color.

The Two-Heart Great Sage temple god divine condor suddenly shuddered violently.

Then it fell into silence.

And Li Che closed his eyes; the entire Guiyi Miao fell into utter stillness.

Li Che even seemed to have his breath disappear.

He maintained the motion, as if merging with the temple god's statue into one.

Unknown how much time had passed.

Li Che finally slowly opened his eyes, the Star-Plucking Pupil at his brow closing.

The Thousand Analysis Hand also disengaged.

Li Che exhaled a breath.

With mind and spirit settled, yet within the heaven-and-earth chessboard, a divine chess piece flowing with Buddha light sat quietly there.

The piece appeared black, yet its black surface was veiled with a faint Buddha-light hue.

"Buddha-light chess piece..."

Li Che's eyes narrowed.

In the region where the piece lay, the lines of the chessboard all collapsed inward, as if twisted by a strange field.

Li Che felt satisfied.

Leaping down from the altar, it seemed this Two-Heart Great Sage had been touched…

"It's been a long time since I've touched the temple god; the feel is really not bad."

Li Che smiled, sat cross-legged, and took out a minor Divine Thunder talisman from the sandalwood box.

Zizzle—

The surging lightning arcs, like a silk lash, fiercely struck Li Che's palm, causing even Li Che, who possessed a lightning-magnetic trajectory body, to feel a tingling numbness!

"This is... the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder that a Divine Tribulation realm cultivator encounters among the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations?"

"This Minor Divine Thunder... should be a weakened version of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!"

"But its power is not to be underestimated—so exhilarating—"

Li Che's lightning-magnetic trajectory body trembled, every inch of his skin vibrating.

However, Li Che did not activate this exceedingly precious Minor Divine Thunder talisman.

After all, it is a mid-tier divine talisman of the Five Elders; Li Che is reluctant to use it.

The Painting Immortal Dao Fruit trembled.

The Immaculate Heart divinity and the Seven Emotions and Six Desires divinity merged together, becoming a kind of divine ink; with this divine ink, one can imitate all things in heaven and earth!

Whoosh—

A scroll of painting rose up drifting; Li Che flicked his finger.

Within the scroll, a Minor Divine Thunder Five Thunder Shock-Kill talisman suddenly fluttered out.

Two fingers pinched together, holding this talisman.

Li Che employed the incipient divine ability 【Divine Thunder】!

Instantly, his entire body burst forth with dazzling electric light to the extreme!

Every pore sprayed open, as if electric light spewed from within, bursting forth countless surging lightning arcs around Li Che.

Zizzle—

Like a thousand birds crying out in unison!

Inside the dim Guiyi Miao, countless electric lights illuminated everything, as if high-wattage bulbs were fully lit!

Li Che's dark, lustrous hair whipped wildly as he felt the thunderous power within the Thunder-Magnetic Orbital frenziedly surge into the divine talisman!

Li Che felt himself……

Like a human-shaped power bank!

When all the thunderous power of the Thunder-Magnetic Orbital had poured into the divine talisman.

Between flashes of light, the replicated Lesser Divine Firmament Five Thunder Shock Talisman of the Immortal in the Painting crackled with arcs!

"Because of the talisman's pattern, after charging, this replicated Lesser Divine Firmament Five Thunder Shock Talisman retains at least seventy percent of the original's power!"

Li Che could no longer suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.

His guess had indeed come true!

Feeling the thunderous power of the Thunder-Magnetic Orbital slowly recovering within his body's apertures.

Li Che instantly felt utterly refreshed!

Divine Talisman Half-Saint…… he, Li Che, could barely count as one!

Grasping a Five Elders Divine Crystal, divine essence surged wildly, beginning to hasten the recovery of thunderous power!

According to Li Che's estimate, in one day he could probably charge two Lesser Divine Firmament Five Thunder Shock Talismans.

In other words, he could produce two Fifth Elder-rank divine talismans in a day!

"The problem of insufficient firepower for the Namo Immortal Artisan Super Electromagnetic Cannon…… isn't this solved?"

Li Che clenched his five fingers, an electromagnetic cannon bullet made of Mysterious Fire Black Phoenix Thunder Wood—called a bullet, but actually containing no divine essence pieces at all.

Because it's not needed……

Moreover, the outbreak of the great avalanche and black-white extreme collapse would instead disperse the impact force of the electromagnetic cannon bullet.

The lethal power of the electromagnetic cannon comes not from explosion, but from the terrifying kinetic impact of the bullet shooting out!

Previously, Li Che mainly could not solve the problem of erupting thunderous power.

Now, indeed, the thunder eruption of the Lesser Divine Firmament Thunder Talisman can be used to propel the bullet.

Can unleash a terrifying impact at ten times the speed of sound!

"It's almost done……"

Li Che's emotions surged involuntarily, while the super electromagnetic cannon still had a flaw: the precision of its shooting.

But for Li Che, who possesses the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, this problem is not a problem at all!

"Besides, the only remaining issue is the material: Mysterious Fire Black Phoenix Thunder Wood is a fifth-tier lower-grade spiritual wood; because of its thunder attribute, the thunder eruption will not destroy it, but it also has a load limit…… I just don't know how many eruptions of the Lesser Divine Firmament Five Thunder Shock Talismans it can bear……"

These all need testing and research.

Li Che's enthusiasm for immortal artisan research suddenly rose.

Inside the Guiyi Miao, he began to simultaneously restore the power of the Thunder-Magnetic Orbital and simulate in his mind the testing and research of constructing the electromagnetic cannon.

……

……

Qianyuan Dao City.

Dao Lord's Manor.

Night deep, people quiet, yet the lights are bright.

The whole city had sunk into silence, yet a black shadow suddenly appeared, drifting in, entering the Dao City.

Su Dao Ling wore black nightclothes, a bamboo hat, and drifted into the Dao Lord's Manor.

He had just landed when he saw the figure waiting early.

It was none other than the Junior Dao Lord Yue Weizheng, hands behind his back, eyes deep, bathed in moonlight, looking at Su Dao Ling with a smile, yet like a man-eating tiger wearing a smile.

"Junior Dao Lord... night deep, people quiet, why did you summon this old one?"

The current head of the Su family, Su Dao Ling, clasped his fists and asked.

"It's not me who invited you; rather, someone else has a matter and wishes to invite you to act together."

Upon hearing this, Su Dao Ling's pupils constricted.

He looked toward the distance.

He then saw two handsome figures.

Just sensing their aura, his expression slightly changed.

One wore the Star Assassin mask of the Hunter God Pavilion; the other was extraordinarily handsome, with dragon horns on his head, his qi and blood mighty and fierce.

"Dragon Son of the Dragon God line!"

Su Dao Ling's vision was extraordinary; he instantly recognized Ao Lie's identity.

Ao Lie slowly turned, his gaze falling upon Su Dao Ling.

"There's a matter; I don't know if you're interested in participating."

Ao Lie said coldly.

Su Dao Ling took a deep breath; when did the Dragon Son of the Dragon God line silently arrive at Qianyuan Dao City?

Is it to avenge the Dragon Queen Consort?

Why seek him, Su Dao Ling?

"I don't know, Your Highness the Dragon Son... what matter requires my participation?" Su Dao Ling bowed and asked.

Dragon Son Ao Lie gazed at Su Dao Ling, his violet divine pupils like a mirror faintly glowing.

"I suspect this Li Che is the Horse-Face of the Underworld..."

"He is skilled in mechanism techniques and also has an extremely high level of the Divine Condor."

No! I should say, Li Che is literally the Underworld's Horse-Face—he basically revealed his hand outright… but, regardless of whether he is or not, just having this suspicion is enough.

Ao Lie said coldly.

"The Underworld killed my sister, killed my daughter… this feud, we cannot coexist under the same heaven!"

"However, I came to Gan Yuan Dao City this time with another arrangement; I cannot expose my whereabouts… hearing that the Su family also has a deep blood feud with the Underworld, I wanted to invite the Su family patriarch to act together."

His words fell.

The astral assassin standing beside Ao Lie flicked a finger, and a mask of the astral assassin from the Hunting Divine Pavilion shot toward Su Dao Ling.

After receiving it, Su Dao Ling's eyes narrowed.

And Ao Lie's voice then rang out coldly.

"Together…"

"Assassinate the Half-Saint Golden Roc, Li Che!"

……

……

Because he was immersed in studying the South Wu Immortal Craft Super Electromagnetic Cannon, Li Che squeezed his electromagnetic rail completely dry.

When he returned to the courtyard of Listening Thunder Lane, the thunder on Li Che's body was again wrung completely dry.

A sense of emptiness welled up in his heart.

The night was dark and heavy, leaden clouds roiled in the heavens tens of thousands of feet high, obscuring the shy moon disk, revealing a faint moonlight.

Within the small courtyard.

"Whoosh—"

"Inhale—"

Li Che inhaled and exhaled, like rolling thunder; his electromagnetic rail had exhausted its thunder, and while slowly recovering, Li Che began to temper his physique and cultivate the divine-seed martial art.

He replaced the lotus-flower black robe his wife Zhang Ya had sewn for him, Li Che stood naked, the heaven-and-earth chessboard net enveloped him, isolating his qi.

Thereafter, his flesh transformed, qi and blood surged like a flood dragon, his body swelled, standing tall like a mountain, veins bulged, muscles layered!

A martial pellet flicked by a finger shot into his mouth, swallowed into his stomach; the powerful gastric force crushed the pill's casing, releasing its medicinal potency.

The rolling medicinal potency surged like a breached river, washing over Li Che's flesh!

Li Che suddenly stepped forward, fingers spread wide, then fiercely pointed and struck; the air trembled like ripples, surging without cease!

The thick qi and blood exploded, as if transforming into a massive blood-colored crocodile that roared toward the heavens, as if it wanted to tear the firmament apart!

Utterly domineering, wildly fierce!

Divine-seed martial art【Blood Crocodile Splitting Heaven Palm】!

Over the past month, Li Che's whole body and mind have been immersed in cultivating this martial art.

Li Che now has introduced three divine seeds into his extraordinary meridians, his innate true gang reached three hundred twenty-seven strands!

Extremely domineering and massive!

Yet Li Che is still unsatisfied, for he has not yet reached the limit of his body's tempering!

He intends to continue opening his extraordinary meridians!

The blood crocodile suddenly raised its head and roared, instantly manifesting countless palm prints; the heavens seemed shrouded in blood light as it fiercely struck downward, the shockwave exploding instantly and spreading outward in all directions!

The air seemed to emit a sound of bursting under unbearable strain!

Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly, as if sensing something, a light gleamed in the depths of his gaze.

As he continued practicing the martial art, the Dragon-Elephant Golden Core Dao fruit throbbed, bursting like thunder!

A blood-colored great crocodile followed Li Che's blood-colored palm as it kept striking, and in an instant countless palm prints flickered and shifted!

Boom——!!!

Instantly behind Li Che, a phantom of a great crocodile roaring at the heavens appeared, surging forth as if it would tear a rift in the sky.

It could not heal for a long time!

Li Che again popped a martial pellet into his mouth, standing in place, feeling the surge and transformation of his qi and blood.

He stood in the center of the courtyard, his whole body like a red-hot iron, emitting steaming heat; every inch of his flesh was crimson, and one could see bead-like blood droplets like glass rolling within his vessels.

"He has reached the master realm…"

"The fourth divine seed!"

Li Che exhaled, closed his eyes, and directed his mind.

Without hesitation, he began to guide the fourth divine seed into the human body's extraordinary meridians at the meridian nodes.

The fourth divine seed…

Even Li Che, during the process, finally felt the difficulty.

Excruciating pain, like mountains shouting and seas roaring, swept over his entire body!

Difficult!

Extremely difficult!

Bit by bit, Li Che did not know how long had passed before he finally completed the transfer of the fourth divine seed.

Boom——!!!

When the transfer was complete, Li Che suddenly opened his eyes; the whole courtyard was filled with surging, boiling qi and blood, as if covered by a sea of blood.

"The Corpse God Sect…"

Li Che, eyes opened, his qi and blood surged!

The next moment, clenching his five fingers, his whole body turned into a blood line and vanished instantly from the spot.

Outside the Golden Roc Ridge.

The night was silent.

Li Che's blood qi surged wildly, appearing out of thin air.

Beside him was Huang Jianjiu, bearing a sword case and holding a wine gourd; in the distance, You Liqing and Longnu, these two Martial Saint-level Bound Gods, also hurried over swiftly.

"My lord!"

The three Bound Gods bowed respectfully.

Li Che nodded slightly, feeling his spirit swell and boil as the Divine Seed tugged at it.

Li Che lifted his head, his vigorous black hair flying, arms outstretched.

Within his exploding muscles, terrifying power surged like rolling thunder, veins twitching like a furious dragon's roar.

But only for an instant, these powers and breaths vanished without trace.

Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, Slumbering Dragon-Elephant!

Absolute Breath Concealment!

Thoroughly restraining his breath, Li Che raised his hand and touched his brow to avoid startling the snake.

"Let me see, where are these Corpse God Sect worms hiding?"

Reached level 5 of the Chess Saint Heaven-Earth Chessboard.

Instantly taking Li Che's position beneath his feet as the central point, it began to spiral and expand outward.

Silent and soundless, covering heaven and earth.

Expanding, expanding, expanding again...

Sweeping over mountains, sweeping over rivers, sweeping over dense forests...

All things in heaven and earth, as if reflected and manifested in the crisscrossing chessboard.

Li Che stood within the heaven-earth chessboard expanded to its utmost.

Suddenly, Li Che lifted his head, his vigorous black hair dancing wildly, his pupils turning pure black, even the whites of his eyes becoming pure black!

"Penetrating the Netherworld——!!!"

Boom——

In an instant, within the heaven-earth chessboard, heaven and earth suddenly changed color!

A constantly spiraling and spreading vortex of sealing deathly aura appeared within the chessboard.

Li Che's eyes were pitch black to the extreme, he exhaled softly……

"Found it……"
