Chapter 302
304. Chapter 299: The Underworld Yama King shakes Supreme White with a fist, the Evil Dog wielding a double-edged blade — who is he? 【Seeking monthly tickets】
Heaven and Earth, it seemed as if at this moment, in that extremely terrifying punch……
Thoroughly sank into dead silence!
Terrifying like the surging sea of blood qi, it stirred up terrifying waves thousands of zhang high!
It seemed as if a doomsday-like cold current filled every corner of the Su family manor.
Inside the lord's palace.
Everything was annihilated into powder; that suffocating pressure, like a raging torrent, ravaged everywhere.
Ji Heshan knelt on the ground, his robes tightly clinging to his body, that was the result of being ravaged and struck by the terrifying wind and torrent.
He widened his eyes, sweat drenched his back, the sweat that flowed out was instantly evaporated by the scorching blood qi, every inch of his flesh trembled, that was……
Trembling from fear!
Terrifying!
Unstoppable!
Peak!
Five Mysterious Gate God Seeds?!
As an Inner Sect Elder of the Primordial Origin Divine Sect, how could Ji Heshan not know the difficulty of the Mysterious Gate God Seed? To transfer a God Seed into the Mysterious Gate, one must cultivate a God Seed martial art to the Master level.
The difficulty of God Seed martial arts surpasses that of a Martial Saint's ultimate techniques; each God Seed martial art requires a long time to cultivate.
You Liqing could be accepted as a disciple by Ji Moli, such a mighty existence standing at the peak, the second gate of Heavenly Gate Pass; his talent is naturally excellent, yet mastering two God Seed martial arts to reach the Master level also took decades.
For cultivators with lesser talent, a single God Seed martial art requires decades, and may still not achieve great accomplishment.
And to open the Mysterious Gate God Seed, one needs a Master-level God Seed martial art and to comprehend the true essence of martial arts.
Under such harsh conditions, who could cultivate five God Seeds and successfully transfer them into the Bodily Mysterious Gate?
Ji Heshan, however, clearly knows that the difficulty of transferring God Seeds into the Bodily Mysterious Gate keeps skyrocketing!
It requires an extremely strong fleshly body to endure endless pain; the demands on will, soul, and physique are overly harsh.
There are many martial practitioners who have transferred two God Seeds.
Those who have transferred three God Seeds are rare, all being the gate-guarding figures who stand at the peak and tower over Heavenly Gate Pass.
Martial practitioners who have transferred four God Seeds into the Mysterious Gate are unheard of!
And now.
Ji Heshan actually saw a terrifying existence that had transferred five God Seeds!
Underworld—
The Underworld actually has a terrifying existence that has transferred five God Seeds into the Mysterious Gate!
It is almost a legendary existence!
Such an existence must be a peak figure!
Absolutely a martial arts titan capable of standing firm at Heavenly Gate Pass!
Just a single move, and it's like a bowstring pulled taut—that is the ultimate of martial tempering; in an instant, the five Mysterious Gate God Seeds are driven to activate, and they directly explode!
Ji Heshan didn't think that a mere Su Daoling was worth such a powerful being detonating God Seeds for mutual destruction; he could only say……
Detonating God Seeds for such a powerful being is as simple as a martial practitioner stirring their own blood qi strength, even a habitual matter.
This is truly the most terrifying!
To such an existence, the shackles of the human body are nothing!
What kind of horrifying fleshly body must have been forged!
What an ancient monster!
「Wrong……」
「Everyone is wrong! 」
「The Underworld, this Underworld…… is not a force that rose relying solely on petty tricks; its foundation is not much weaker than a great divine sect, its mystery and terror even comparable to a great ancient clan, a divine sect, a ten-thousand-year family! 」
Ji Heshan was pressed to the ground by the terrifying pressure.
He stared intently.
That terrifying existence wearing a black-and-white mask, as if a single thought could decide life and death, clenched a fist from the Sea of Blood and lightly punched out.
There was no ultimate speed; in Ji Heshan's eyes it was clearly extremely slow, yet the void rippled with wrinkles, and Su Daoling's activated Five Elders Upper God Talisman was directly torn apart, countless sword talismans annihilated!
The whole person……
Only managed to let out a sigh.
In that punch, inch by inch he was crushed to powder, ashes scattered and smoke vanished!
As if turned into boundless flesh and grit, exploding between Heaven and Earth!
That light punch pressing down sideways was as if shattering the giant pillar that supports the heavens, causing the heavens to press down, a blanket of darkness, as if Heaven and Earth were overturned!
And after Su Daoling was completely killed.
Ji Heshan's soul nearly fled, for that terrifying punch's aura undulated like rippling space, spreading toward him kneeling on the ground and distant Su Li.
Su Li didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry before turning into bloody mud.
「Senior——!!! 」
「I am the Fourth Inner Sect Elder of the Primordial Origin Divine Sect! Spare me! 」
Ji Heshan's hoarse voice let out a scream.
He did not want to die!
He was just one step away from the Divine Fetus…… he did not want to die!
However.
That towering presence standing upon the ancient city where deathly qi roiled, its black‑white mask like the turning stars of a vast starry sky, as if the cycle of life and death shifted within it.
Didn't even glance at him, as if a deity too lazy to heed an ant's call.
The aftershock of the fist's radiance spread.
Then…
Ji Heshan watched in despair as his flesh turned to ash and smoke, as his divine‑origin golden core cracked and shattered, utterly annihilated…
Why?
Ji Heshan was somewhat bewildered.
He seemed not to understand why he would meet such a miserable death here tonight.
Is his luck really this bad?
And… why would the netherworld, silent for a year, suddenly send forth an old monster, a supreme expert, to openly slaughter the Su family patriarch Su Daoling?
Why?!
Ji Heshan watched Su Li turn into a puddle of flesh, when suddenly an inconceivable explanation arose in his mind.
Could it be…
Could it be… because of… Li Nuanxi?!
The Su family… still kept their eyes on Li Nuanxi, even sending Su Chuyang and Su Li to approach her, intending to use their usual tactic of bewitching girls into marrying into the Su family to deal with Li Nuanxi.
But why?
Why would the netherworld, possessing such terrifying supreme experts, go to such extremes to exterminate Li Nuanxi?
Li Nuanxi is Li Che's daughter, not the netherworld's daughter…
Huh?!
Ji Heshan suddenly froze.
In a vague moment, it seemed he had grasped something.
"Li Che—!!!"
Ji Heshan roared.
Then.
Utterly perished.
……
……
Almost at the instant Su Daoling perished.
The martial saint of the Sea of Qi realm, Su Leibao, seated in command of the two Guiyi Miao temples, Heng and Ha, sensed it.
Boom——!!!
His pallid hair whipped wildly, Su Leibao's eyes nearly burst.
"Ah——!!!"
Boom!
His mighty qi and blood surged like rolling waves; with a single step he became a crimson lightning bolt, bursting out of the house as if a hurricane raged between heaven and earth.
Su Leibao rose step by step toward the heavens; his withered, stooped flesh seemed to begin recovering at this very moment!
His spine gradually rose, his flesh and blood filled out, his body becoming stalwart, as if crimson patterns wove themselves around him.
His pallid hair instantly turned black, his eyes brimming with sorrow and killing intent!
"Who is it?!"
"You killed my Su family's divine‑symbol half‑saint!!!"
Su Leibao bellowed in rage!
He stared fixedly toward the direction of the Su family manor.
He did not plunge into madness from Su Daoling's death, his will not utterly shattered, recklessly charging forward.
He wasn't entirely sure what had happened over at the Su family manor.
As a divine‑symbol half‑saint, Su Daoling possessed many means, even laying a divine‑symbol grand formation over the Su manor; even if a three‑opened mountain‑ascending martial saint struck, it would cause a huge commotion.
But Su Daoling died silently, without a sound.
He had barely sensed it when Su Daoling's soul jade shattered completely, extinguished, utterly dead.
Too fast!
Instantly killed!
A divine‑symbol half‑saint with myriad methods like Su Daoling was actually instant‑killed!
Even if a mountain‑ascending martial saint went all out, from breaking the Su family's divine‑symbol formation, to shattering Su Daoling's divine‑symbol methods, then killing Su Daoling……
It couldn't possibly be this fast, could it?!
Thus, although Su Leibao was furious, he did not let anger cloud his judgment and charge straight ahead.
Just in case the killer had not yet left, and would strike him down as well……
Then the Su family would truly be finished!
And Su Leibao's furious long howl was also meant to draw the attention of the powerful forces in Qianyuan Dao City.
In fact.
No need for Su Leibao's angry roar and long howl!
Li Che never really concealed his intention of having the netherworld's Yama act.
Even the Heaven‑Earth Chessboard did not really mask or isolate the aura when he detonated the five Qimen divine seeds and casually threw a punch that annihilated Su Daoling.
Thus many experts in Qianyuan Dao City sensed this aura.
……
……
Six Desires Slay Evil Lü Xuansword Immortal Guiyi Miao
Within the strange gate, the strange mist suddenly tore open!
Then, a terrifying qi and blood, like a great blade, fiercely slashed out, cutting the strange mist; a blazing figure, as bright as the scorching sun, instantly shot out from the strange gate.
Standing tall in the void, his eyes shone like two bright headlights!
Feng Zhiqi wore the robes of the Temple Suppression Office Governor, his sleeves fluttering, his qi and blood surged into the night sky; in an instant, the night was dispelled, the wind and snow across the heavens vanished.
Yuwen Wenlong shot up into the sky, his expression extremely stern, and he also bore a shocking and solemn aura.
"Governor Feng!"
"That is……"
"I sensed it, I have sensed it……"
"Five Qimen divine seeds, instantly shattering the human body's shackles; with a casual punch, they destroy heaven and earth!"
"A fleshly body capable of so easily bearing the explosive power of five Qimen divine seeds…… such a powerhouse, even if he has never seen Heaven's Gate, is a figure on the mountain path, only an inch from the summit!"
"Even having already seen Heaven's Gate, he can suppress the Heaven's Gate Pass!"
"So strong! Really so strong! My whole body's muscles are trembling…… they're excited……"
"I want it!"
"I will fight him!!!!"
Feng Zhiqi raised his head and let out a long cry, his arms suddenly spreading; the immensely strong qi and blood within him, like a volcano repressed for ages, erupted explosively!
The next moment, his whole body turned into a cannonball, shooting across the sky in an instant!
In the night sky, it seemed a blood-red dragon streaked across, the void twisted and scorched by his blazing qi and blood!
This time, Yuwen Wenlong did not choose to remain guarding the Lü Xuansword Immortal Guiyi Miao.
His whole body turned into a stream of light, closely following behind.
……
……
Dao Lord's Mansion.
Inside the secret chamber, Dao Lord Yue Huanglong, who was flipping through an ancient tome, suddenly furrowed his brows; his simple, honest face turned icy and severe, revealing a hint of world‑shocking killing intent!
"Who?!"
His voice lingered.
Yet his entire person had already vanished without a trace.
Reappearing, he was now at a height of three hundred zhang outside the Su family manor, the air roiling, the wind fierce.
He gazed toward the interior of the Su family manor.
He saw an ink‑colored city continually rising from the ground, growing higher and higher!
In an instant, an enormous chessboard spanned heaven and earth; an ink‑colored city, with deathly qi roiling, was utterly black and towering.
Upon the city stood a lone figure, the five wheels' detonated divine seeds carrying a vast ocean of qi and blood; his terrifying aura seemed to warp the heavens and night sky, the scorching heat melting every snowflake in the Dao City.
Dao Lord Yue Huanglong's rotund frame narrowed his eyes as he gazed into the Su family manor; the entire lord's palace vanished into thin air, erased from heaven and earth, signifying that the new Su clan head, Su Daoling, had utterly perished.
In his eyes, a flash of strange color and resentful anger also appeared!
Su Daoling……
He died?!
Su Daoling, this Divine Talisman Half‑Saint, was of utmost importance to Qianyuan Dao City; he had been specially nurtured to counter the fellow cultivator of Lü Taibai from the Qianyuan Divine Sect, Xuan Qisha.
So that the Qianyuan Divine Sect would not achieve a monopoly on the Divine Talisman path within Qianyuan Dao City!
If that is indeed the case, then he, the Dao City Lord dispatched by the Dàjǐng court, would likely be called to account by the Dàjǐng emperor and the National Preceptor!
Yue Huanglong thought of the figure in plain robes seated beside the golden dragon throne in Shendu during court audiences, and his whole body involuntarily shuddered.
Sending a Dao Lord to suppress the development of the various divine sects' industries was precisely the plan proposed by that National Preceptor.
The Su clan's previous generation producing a Divine Talisman Half‑Saint was his doing.
Originally, this Divine Talisman Half‑Saint would have allowed him to answer to Shendu; now…… there is nothing to answer for!
This time's Pantao Victory Assembly, that court banquet…… will likely be hard to stomach.
"Netherworld……"
Yue Huanglong stared at the figure standing upon the ink‑colored city, his heart slightly trembling.
Vast and dark, the ancient, mottled city lay upon the enormous net‑like chessboard, deathly qi drifting like mist, as if the barbaric strange mist swirled and flowed like water; the city was old and profound, as if myriad ghosts walked and rested within it, while the lone city‑top, its black‑and‑white masks reflecting the stars, cycled through reincarnation, holding sway over life and death!
Netherworld……
Such a thing actually exists?!
Yue Huanglong, though only recently having broken through to the Four Open Martial Saint and just reached the peak, glimpsing Heaven's Gate……
Although he had not yet made the Heaven's Gate Pass, he was certainly not weak.
Yet at this moment, he felt an extremely intense threat!
"Sir…… who exactly are you?"
Yue Huanglong, his body full of fat, suddenly trembled; hovering three hundred zhang in the void, he slowly raised his opening stance, and in an instant the heavens and earth changed color; behind him, a vast, towering gate blazed into view!
Beyond the gate, myriad paths seemed to intertwine, adorned within the thin mist like a mirage of pavilions and towers, waterside terraces and lofty buildings, with a yellow dragon winding among them, roaring and shaking!
Boom——!!!
In the distance.
Feng Zhiqi came across the horizon, a mountain rising behind him, its peak unseen, his qi and blood entwined around that martial arts peak, his gaze blazing, his aura mighty!
The Underworld... really made everyone misjudge it!
As it turns out, the Underworld also has Absolute Peak figures!
Yue Huanglong glanced at Feng Zhiqi, his heart jolted.
This Feng Zhiqi is probably just one step away from entering the Absolute Peak!
However.
Although Feng Zhiqi's heart trembled with excitement to the extreme, at this moment Yue Huanglong's overwhelming aura suppressed him, rendering him unable to act.
"Grand Governor Feng, protect Su Clan's Grand Elder Lei Bao; this villain likely came to annihilate the Su Clan."
Yue Huanglong said lightly.
Feng Zhiqi narrowed his eyes.
He originally didn't want to shake off Yue Huanglong's order; the Temple Guard Office and the Dao Lord's Manor are two powers, both official, yet officials differ, and you dare command me?!
He, Feng Zhiqi, wanted to have a good fight with this peerless physical existence that breaks the limits of the human body.
He, Feng Zhiqi...
He wanted to challenge the Dao!!!!
However.
Feng Zhiqi looked toward the distance.
There...
The void seemed sealed, a whisk like a white divine dragon winding across the firmament, immobilizing the void.
The Supervisor of the Qintian Observatory, Hong Shifo, wearing a white Dao robe, rose laughing into the sky, hands behind his back, narrowed eyes gazing at the figure standing on the black city, standing in the sea of blood.
At the same time.
Feng Zhiqi seemed to sense something.
Focusing his gaze, he looked toward the Taibai Peak of the Qianyuan Divine Sect.
A silhouette with silver hair like a waterfall stood with hands behind his back, coldly observing this scene.
"Even with wings, escape is impossible!"
"This Absolute Peak existence of the Underworld is surrounded by the Three Absolute Peaks of Qianyuan Dao City... absolutely impossible to escape with wings!"
Feng Zhiqi's originally boiling hot-blooded fighting spirit suddenly turned icy cold upon seeing Lu Taibai.
"Did you kill the Fourth Elder of the Qianyuan Divine Sect, Ji Heshan?"
Feng Zhiqi suddenly sensed something, his expression turning strange.
The next moment.
Feng Zhiqi said nothing more.
His whole body surged forward like a qi-blood long dragon, appearing before Lei Bao and blocking him.
……
……
Above Mo City.
Li Che wore the black-and-white Yanluo mask, his dark robe fluttering, a terrifying pressure continually descending between heaven and earth, extremely horrifying!
That was the aura of a true Absolute Peak existence!
Too terrifying!
Yue Huanglong is a Heavenly Gate Martial Saint, and that Supervisor Hong Shifo is a Divine Infant Great God!
Just the encirclement of these two made Li Che feel suffocated, even the detonated Five Great Mystic Gate Divine Seeds felt as if they were about to be completely suppressed.
Pressure... truly immense!
Only after truly experiencing it did he realize how far he is from Absolute Peak experts!
However, Li Che's purpose in this strike was also achieved.
The Yanluo can still grow...
And you all have reached your limit!
"Do you intend to leave?"
"I'm afraid you can't leave."
Supervisor Hong Shifo stood with hands behind his back, the mighty heaven-and-earth soul cascading downward, sealing the surrounding void completely; that white whisk is a top-tier divine weapon, its strands piercing the void, as if completely freezing and solidifying space.
Beneath the Yanluo mask, Li Che calmly looked at Hong Shifo.
He also felt the terrifying sword intent from afar, Lu Taibai, as if about to be drawn.
It seemed to lock onto him from afar.
Li Che smiled.
Taking a step, instantly!
In his chest, the Dao Fruit 【Dream Heavenly Master】 began to beat.
Dream power burst forth!
Like a mirage, an image unfolded behind him!
Exactly the scene seen in the big black dog's dream: a terrifying existence with magma coursing through its body, like a horrendous colossus slowly awakening from hell, bit by bit raising its form, opening those giant eyes that span the heavens left and right!
Boom——!!!
Yue Huanglong and Hong Shifo's expressions changed, their hairs standing on end as they stared at that image.
Atop Taibai Peak.
Lu Taibai also furrowed his brow, focusing his gaze on this scene……
Even if it is him.
Beneath the eyes, it also faintly trembled!
"The terrifying ancient beast after the Mysterious Gate?!"
"The Netherworld…… the Netherworld is actually related to the existence after the Mysterious Gate?!"
Hum—!
Lü Taibai flicked his finger, and the Taibai Sword in his hand already began to hum.
Hum—!
And Li Che, after invoking dream power to evoke the scene of relying on others' might!
In his chest, the Chess Saint Dao Fruit violently jumped.
In the next moment, the five pieces of the Two-Minded Great Sage, shining with Buddha light everywhere, were instantly grasped by him.
At the same time, he instantly appeared at the five exploding human body Qimen divine seed qi-blood vortices.
Then he threw himself into them.
As if triggering a heaven-shaking, earth-shaking chemical reaction!
"King Yama ascends the tower!"
A low sound came from beneath the black and white mask!
Boom——!!!
Countless clashing, splendid blade lights burst forth, the surging qi and blood swelling again——!!!
Li Che clenched his left fist, and the three-point two-edged blade let out a brilliant blade-song!
In his chest.
The Dragon Elephant Golden Body Dao Fruit strongly stimulated, as if Li Che guided a Dao Fruit qi mechanism into it, fiercely pouring into the three-point two-edged blade!
Then!
Containing the Temple God's divine Buddha light, the extreme qi and blood that breaks the human body's shackles, and the fully unleashed divine weapon power……
One punch!
Fiercely thrown out!
Together with the sudden appearance of the splendid silver sword light before him, fiercely colliding.
In an instant, countless sword lights exploded in midair!
As if transforming into an extremely splendid sword qi lotus.
Like a dream, like an illusion!
In the night sky, gorgeous as a painting!
Yue Huanglong and Imperial Astronomer Hong Shifo, their eyes involuntarily flashed a hint of shock.
Lü Taibai……
What a fast sword!
They didn't even notice when a sword appeared before the Netherworld Yama.
The terrifying sword qi rampaged, bursting forth a sword lotus, completely engulfing the Netherworld Yama's form as if it vanished.
Visible to the naked eye, the void shattered everywhere, like a broken mirror, a vicious net covered with dense cracks, spreading and extending!
After the sword qi lotus slowly dissipated.
Between heaven and earth, yet there was no trace of the black-and-white-masked Netherworld Yama's form.
The black city began to dissipate like foam, the chessboard also vanished without trace……
Disappeared?!
Netherworld Yama……
Actually disappeared?!
"Impossible!"
Hong Shifo furrowed his brows and let out a low shout!
He sealed the void with a divine weapon, and this sealing power is even stronger than that of the Four Emperors Stabilizing Wind Wave Divine Talisman!
That Netherworld Yama…… actually still managed to escape!
"Taking the king as a suffix, the Netherworld's pinnacle…… is this an existence like a title Dragon King, of the same lineage as the Dragon God?!"
A low sound came from Yue Huanglong's mouth.
Vaguely, it felt like something was off.
But……
Being able to block Lü Taibai's sword and escape, yet even Hong Shifo's divine secret technique aided by a divine weapon could not seal him.
This Netherworld Yama……
Danger level skyrocketed in a straight line!
In his eyes flashed a hint of apprehension.
Netherworld……
Such a Netherworld!
Hum——!!!
A sword light took the form of Lü Taibai's figure, silver hair flying, hands behind his back.
A silvery sword-qi divine pattern on his brow shone brightly!
Lü Taibai's eyes revealed a hint of unusual color.
Although that sword just now wasn't his strongest, it also wasn't held back in the slightest.
After all, this Netherworld Yama can also be considered to have killed an inner sect elder of the Qianyuan Divine Sect.
Although Lü Taibai had long heard of Ji Heshan's deeds, Ji Heshan had been an Elder of the Qianyuan Divine Sect for nearly a hundred years, creating great benefits for the sect; as long as Ji Heshan's actions weren't too excessive, he turned a blind eye.
For the other Elders, he was the same.
But today Ji Heshan ultimately brought about his own death.
Lü Taibai had already discussed with Fang Hanshu to strip Ji Heshan of his Elder status, after all Ji Heshan's actions had become somewhat excessive.
But he never expected that Ji Heshan would actually die tonight.
The death of an inner-sect Elder, Lü Taibai naturally could not stand by idly.
"What a Netherworld Yama."
"Somewhat interesting."
"He didn't die; he left."
Lü Taibai said calmly.
"We… have underestimated the Netherworld."
"Opening the Five Great Mystic Divine Seeds, and able to easily detonate without harming the flesh, behind him stands the ancient beast that follows the Strange Gate……"
"This Netherworld… just how many surprises can it still bring?"
Lü Taibai said lightly.
Yue Huanglong and Hong Shifo exhaled, their eyes deep, yet they said nothing more.
In the distance.
Su Leibao's face showed some lingering fear.
Fortunately he was cautious enough; if he hadn't been, he would already be a corpse.
That Netherworld Yama is actually the pinnacle of the Netherworld, and can even withstand a strike from Lü Taibai without dying!
The Su clan is finished.
Su Leibao suddenly thought of something, his complexion turning pale and grim.
Su Daoling is dead, and he… although he is a Two-opened Qi Sea Martial Saint, his lifespan is nearing its end… he won't live many more years—how many more years can he protect the Su clan?!
Even, the threat from the Netherworld made Su Leibao's heart panic, uneasy.
One never knows when the Netherworld Yama will suddenly appear, like today taking Su Daoling's life, and will also take Su Leibao's life!
This is a monster capable of withstanding a strike from Lü Taibai!
Upon this thought, Su Leibao's body involuntarily began to sway, as if about to collapse.
A tragic feeling surfaced in his eyes.
This is the sorrow of a clan lacking a pinnacle overseer.
Whether a thousand-year clan or a three-thousand-year clan, lacking a pinnacle overseer, they will inevitably face this situation!
Truly, clans capable of transformation and enduring through the ages must have a power standing at the pinnacle overseeing them!
"The Su clan… is finished."
"The Su clan's three-thousand-year foundation in Qianyuan Dao City… is in imminent peril!"
"The Su clan…"
"Only one path remains."
……
……
Two-heart Great Sage Guiyi Miao.
Originally calm candlelight suddenly began to tremble violently, as if a fierce wind had arisen, about to extinguish the burning flame!
Boom——!
Li Che, wearing a black-and-white mask, appeared instantly, sitting cross-legged on the ground, his qi and blood blazing like an intensely fierce flame.
Beneath him, the ancient, mottled blue-brick floor of the Guiyi Miao cracked open, filled with grotesque intertwining fissures, like a spreading spiderweb!
"Whoosh——"
Beneath the mask came a long, drawn-out breath.
And the shattered blue-brick floor of the Guiyi Miao began to heal at a visible speed, the fissures closing, everything returning to as before.
Li Che raised his hand and removed the black-and-white Yama mask.
His complexion slightly pale, within the glabella his divinity was nearly exhausted.
And his flesh swelled, covered in grotesque blood marks; Li Che's mind stirred, he turned his vision inward.
A slight chill rose in his heart.
But he saw that within his body, not only the surface membranes, meridians, bones, muscles, and five viscera and six bowels were overwhelmed, covered in extremely fine cracks.
Although under Li Che's powerful Primordial Spirit perception, one could see these cracks slowly healing under the nourishment of the power emanating from the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, recovering from injury.
But this can truly be said to be the first time Li Che has suffered such severe injury up to now!
It was not inflicted by another.
It was self-inflicted!
Even Lü Taibai's sword actually did not harm Li Che in the slightest; it was completely worn down by the stimulated aura of the Three-pronged Two-edged Blade.
The powerhouse stationed at the seventh gate of the Heavenly Gate Pass can even be considered the seventh strongest martial artist in the world!
Indeed, immensely powerful.
The Dao Fruit counts as his greatest trump card, the Three-pronged Two-edged Blade as his second.
However, Li Che sensed the Three-pronged Two-edged Blade now completely silent, the depleted divine-seed qi and blood, and the five Two-heart Great Sage divine-spirit chess pieces that had taken a year to gather…
He let out a soft sigh.
In an instant, he returned to before the liberation.
