Chapter 429

Whooo—

Wind and waves blew without cease, the shattered bricks and debris of Mo City Fengdu were tossed and rolled incessantly, and a grinding sound echoed between heaven and earth.

Bang bang bang—!

The heart pounded violently, its sound like thunder, exploding without cease, like winter thunder from the clouds, utterly impossible to suppress!

All the blood in the body surged rapidly with each heartbeat, as if high-pressure water were racing through the vessels!

Li Che's eyes shone brilliantly; regarding the Summon God of the first Divine Tribulation Grand Cultivator, he was greatly anticipating it, for this Summon God was crucial to his upcoming plans and could even become his strongest force under his command!

Therefore, valuing and anticipating the birth of this Summon God is understandable.

Moreover, since Li Che's true cultivation is only at the Four Open Martial Saint level, he is also somewhat uncertain whether he can successfully summon a Divine Tribulation God.

Fortunately, Zhao Beidou is only a One Disaster One Tribulation Summon God; if he were a One Disaster Two Tribulation Summon God, Li Che would really have little confidence.

Li Che's tall, sturdy body emanated golden qi and blood like a great mist, bursting forth from the 36,000 pores of his flesh, transforming into coiling dragon-serpent smoke ribbons that twined without cease.

Like a god, like a demon, such a terrifying aura, coupled with the low moan of a god-demon emerging from the depths of the netherworld.

Causing the entire time of Mo City Fengdu to seem as if it had frozen!

"Soul, return!"

His five fingers spread wide, aiming at Zhao Beidou's corpse, utterly devoid of vitality.

Summon God!

The low sound, like the deep chant of an leaping old priest upon a boundless sacrificial rite on a vast wilderness, opened the gate to summon the dead spirits, allowing the departed to return from the netherworld!

Boom—

A chill that pierced the heart instantly descended!

The next moment, the sound of icy chains rang out, link after link, with a clatter, as if space itself were being torn apart.

Slowly, the central air of Mo City suddenly collapsed and shattered, forming an extremely profound black hole; a glance revealed it to be vast and boundless, immensely vast.

No end could be seen!

And link after link of icy chains entwined scorching yet frigid forces, binding the two opposing powers together.

The other end of those chains seemed to be entwined with a hazy, indistinct figure.

In the shattered void, it seemed as if an exceedingly thick ink poured out, and a terrifying aura and breath continually seeped from that ink ball.

Slowly, that ink-like black ball began to writhe incessantly, then gradually formed a figure…

With a clatter, the embroidered dragon-and-tiger Daoist robe billowed upward.

The pitch-black ink incessantly churned, the form swelling and filling out, yet it presented a face lacking any features.

Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the Summon God struggle to form a head, yet unable to display features, as if a powerful force had deducted its soul!

"Indeed… another different situation has appeared!"

"The netherworld?"

Li Che's eyes flickered; he raised his hand and tapped the center of his brow.

In an instant, flesh split to both sides, and instantly there burst forth an extremely brilliant golden light, as if a ray had struck it, erupting like a priceless golden gem radiating a dazzling cross-shaped brilliance.

Divine Ability·Star-Plucking Pupil!

Myriad analyses endless, peering into the void to return to truth!

Under the perception of the Star-Plucking Pupil, Li Che gazed toward the void that seemed to have shattered open.

He looked behind Zhao Beidou's ink-colored silhouette…

Boom—!!!

In an instant, blood-colored lightning seemed to explode, and the Divine Ability of Passage to the Netherworld was also triggered.

Next, Li Che saw a city gate illuminated by blood-colored flowing light!

Immense and boundless, vast and mighty, situated within the netherworld, vast and desolate to the extreme, with blood-colored dust and smoke, which, after being swept by the wind, slowly began to sway!

And upon that city gate, link after link of chains spread and dangled, clattering, actually winding around Zhao Beidou's body!

Heaven and earth were utterly silent.

Uh—

Accompanied by an extremely low sound, Li Che's Star-Plucking Pupil swept over and saw, upon the city tower, a figure bound by chains into a cocoon-like shape.

That was…

Li Che's Star-Plucking Pupil involuntarily contracted.

Zhao Beidou's soul!

And behind Zhao Beidou's soul stood a figure entirely clad in armor, its five fingers gripping the other end of the chain, stationed on the city tower, gnawing on bones streaked with blood, making a creaking sound.

It seemed to sense Li Che's Star-Plucking Pupil's gaze.

It slowly swept its gaze over…

Boom!!

Li Che's Star-Plucking Pupil instantly retreated.

Heaven and earth were clear and bright.

"The blood-colored city gate deep in the netherworld?"

Li Che's brow furrowed; he still remembered that when he previously summoned the god Yue Huanglong, such a situation had occurred.

Back then, it was merely listening to Yue Huanglong's one-sided account.

But this time, he witnessed it with his own eyes.

"Does this world also have the six paths of reincarnation? Does it also have passage to the netherworld?"

If he continues to summon gods, will he truly collide with this world's reincarnation and netherworld?

Netherworld meets netherworld?!

Unexplainably...

A sense of oppression suddenly arose in Li Che's heart.

Li Che pondered for a moment.

Stop and abandon spirit capture?!

No! Impossible!

Capture, we must definitely capture!

Why not capture the spirit of the enemy he killed with his own ability?!

Li Che's eyes shone brightly, his resolve suddenly firming, no longer pondering.

With fingers spread, the As-desired Golden Iron Divine Staff suddenly appeared, the staff transforming into an incredibly sharp blade, which suddenly plunged into the spirit capture's faceless head.

The blade's light wandered, slowly, Zhao Beidou's face gradually appeared beneath the carving knife formed from the As-desired Golden Iron Divine Staff, slowly emerging.

Summon spirit!

Spirit capture, plus spirit summon!

Even if sealed by the Netherworld, even if treading the path of reincarnation, come back to me!

If you truly cannot return, then go in peace……

Li Che merely tried; just an initial glimpse, he could feel the terror of the Netherworld City; with his current strength, if he faced it directly, he would likely be unable to withstand.

But to relinquish the spirit capture of a Divine Tribulation Grand Cultivator, Li Che is unwilling!

At least...

Feeding it to other spirit captures would also be of great use!

So, let's give it a try...

Li Che is not the first time snatching spirit captures from the Netherworld!

Snatching one more time is also fine!

Through the Star-Plucking Pupil, Li Che peered into the void and returned to truth, seemingly also seeing that this realm's Netherworld reincarnation had some problems.

Boom boom boom—

In his chest, the Immortal Craft Dao fruit, as Li Che carved it, kept beating.

In one breath, using the As-desired Golden Iron Divine Staff as a carving knife, he completed the carving, carving out Zhao Beidou's face!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Only heard the sound of chains breaking……

Like the souls suspended for public display on the Nine Nether City, the hanging chains shattered with a boom.

Thereafter, the ink-colored Zhao Beidou spirit capture gradually began to show human hues, transforming into a normal person.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Zhao Beidou's spirit capture suddenly opened its eyes, panting heavily.

Upon his body, terrifying aura and soul power, like a storm, continually swept and ravaged, forming ripples, distorting space, surging up and down, causing the entire city to tremble violently!

Even as a spirit capture, beads of fine sweat inevitably appeared on his forehead.

He panted heavily, gasping for air.

On his face, a look of bewilderment surfaced, along with silence...

After the silence came endless shock!

Reviving from death, from the Netherworld…… forcibly seizing his spirit!

Is this the method of the Underworld?!

Zhao Beidou looked toward the figure standing before him, whose body radiated scorching and terrifying vital blood, the Underworld Yama King.

No……

Underworld Yama King?

According to the feedback transmitted from his mind, Zhao Beidou then understood that this individual, who had engaged in endless blood battles with him, a Divine Tribulation Grand Cultivator, fighting to the point of exhaustion……

Turns out he was, seven years ago, merely a small-town country bumpkin who had never cultivated!

A lowly laborer at a woodcarving shop!

In Zhao Beidou's eyes, even ants were not worth considering!

This... how could this be possible...

Zhao Beidou took a deep breath.

His visage kept changing, somewhat embarrassed, somewhat ashamed...

Only now did he truly understand the meaning of the Underworld Yama King's words: 'Only in death will one be more loyal.'

He furthermore shamelessly said that even if he died, he could never be loyal; he would only become a vengeful ghost, seeking revenge to the end!

And now...

My lord!

I am your most loyal Zhao Beidou!

Zhao Beidou clasped his fists and bowed, deeply bending his waist ninety degrees, the large sleeves of his Dragon-Tiger Dao robe nearly dragging on the ground.

Submit...

Zhao Beidou had long since submitted before.

Previously, when facing the Underworld Yama King, he was willing to choose submission.

Moreover, let alone now, after dying and becoming a spirit capture, submitting comes with almost no discomfort, adapting incredibly smoothly.

Having just experienced a death, feeling the terror of the Netherworld City, his spirit seized, he was about to face boundless purgatory...

At this moment, Zhao Beidou felt only endless gratitude; he only wished to live, and becoming a spirit capture could let him live—how could he resist?

"You aren't planning to become a vicious ghost to take revenge on me?"

Li Che gripped the Following Heart Gold Iron Divine Rod in his hand, turning it like a pen, and spoke with a half-smile.

Li Che naturally had a scheming mind, but not much.

Zhao Beidou immediately panicked, again clasping his fists in salute.

"My lord, broad-minded and generous, please forgive your most loyal subjects!"

Li Che, hearing this, immediately threw his head back and burst out laughing 'hahaha'.

Zhao Beidou remained bowed and obedient; even though he was a God Tribulation Great Cultivator, he felt the lord was even more terrifying…

To be able to forcibly retrieve his soul from the grasp of the terrifying existence in the Netherworld City—what an inconceivable power this is!

Obtaining a God Tribulation Great Cultivator's God-Seizing, Li Che's mood greatly improved.

After so many days of plotting, it finally bore fruit today.

Previously, risking the life of a sovereign clone to battle and severely wound Zhao Beidou was indeed worthwhile.

Although that battle, for Li Che, was also an all-out effort, somewhat like burning the last of his oil, yet it laid the groundwork for today's slaying of Zhao Beidou.

His bones stretched, emitting a crackling sound.

As if thinking of something, Li Che looked toward Zhao Beidou.

"Old Zhao, can a God Tribulation Great Cultivator possess a Cosmic Jade?"

Li Che asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Beidou immediately understood what Li Che wanted.

"My lord, God Tribulation Great Cultivators can already shatter space and condense to form minor cave heavens, so… they basically do not carry Cosmic Jade on their person."

"Instead, by forming a minor cave heaven, they refine a personal, even smaller minor cave heaven."

"Like us God Tribulation cultivators of the One Disaster One Tribulation realm, we cannot carry a minor cave heaven on our person, but an ultra-minor cave heaven of a ten-zhang radius is no difficulty for us and can be carried."

"Thus, that is our Cosmic Jade."

Zhao Beidou said, and after finishing, he pressed his two fingers together, Dao Essence coiling around his fingertips, then tore open the void.

Like pulling open a zipper, the void split open with a huge gap.

Zhao Beidou, as if offering a treasure, then presented the gap he had torn open before Li Che.

Isn't this method basically the same as his Cosmic Space?

After the Innocent Heart Dao Fruit devoured the Cosmic Jade, it then displayed the capabilities of the Cosmic Space…

As it turns out, this capability… is actually a power that only a God Tribulation Great Cultivator can master!

What a fellow…

As it turns out, he had already mastered the God Tribulation's divine abilities seven years ago!

Faced with Zhao Beidou's wholehearted offering of treasure, Li Che was also unreserved.

The God-Seizing's things—aren't they just Li Che's things?

Even Li Che, at this moment, could not help but feel his mind and spirit surge.

This is… a God Tribulation Great Cultivator's Cosmic Space!

Unfortunately, from now on we cannot scoop out a God Tribulation Great Cultivator's Cosmic Space as we would a Cosmic Jade; this truly leaves one feeling regretful.

Mind and spirit surged inward, beginning to probe.

This probe caused Li Che's emotions to violently surge.

A fist-sized Divine Nature Crystal suddenly appeared in Li Che's hand, its mighty and rich divine nature surging forth wildly from the crystal!

This is…

Three Purities Lower Divine Nature Crystal!

What a huge size!

Li Che's emotions trembled and boiled over, his eyes shining brilliantly to the extreme, and this was merely an appetizer.

Continuing the probe, suddenly Li Che's eyes narrowed.

Because he sensed the aura of Dao Essence, a milky-white crystal no bigger than a fingernail suddenly appeared in his palm.

The crystal emitted an extremely warm glow, and upon it seemed to be etched a leaf.

Dao Essence seemed to have condensed into substance, slowly flowing across the crystal like mist, like smoke.

"This is…" Li Che's heart involuntarily gave a slight jump.

"My lord, this is a Dao Essence Divine Crystal; although it is merely the lowest grade of a one-leaf Dao Essence Divine Crystal, it is extremely precious, obtained by this old man when participating in the 'Pudu Bitterness Sea' event held by the gods of the Black Sumeru within the Strange Void at Spirit Mountain, exchanged with the Spirit Mountain Temple God."

Zhao Beidou introduced.

"Pudu Bitterness Sea?" Li Che's brows slightly furrowed.

Zhao Beidou thought and said: "The so-called Pudu Bitterness Sea… is an event where the gods of the Black Sumeru faction who awakened early, in order to let the Strange Temples of the Black Sumeru faction connect more closely with the mortal world."

"The closer the connection with the mortal world, the more Strange Temples that emerge from the earth, and thus the more gods that recover."

Zhao Beidou took a deep breath.

"Not only Black Sumeru, but the Dark Heavenly Court and Strange Demon Lair also have similar measures; meanwhile, the Prison Lotus faction, suppressed by the three great factions, has its gods all in slumber, seemingly unable to hold such an event, and the early-recovered temple gods of the three great factions are unwilling to let the Prison Lotus gods recover."

Zhao Beidou revealed some secrets of the Strange Void, things Li Che had never heard before.

Even though he had read many books in Fang Hanshu's courtyard, Fang Hanshu's collection mostly concerned the mortal world; books on the Strange Void were exceedingly rare.

Li Che's eyes involuntarily brightened.

Indeed, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure!

Zhao Beidou, a God Tribulation Great Cultivator who has lived over a thousand years, truly knows far too many secrets.

However, Li Che is not in a hurry to inquire and learn too much.

After all, he still has proper business to attend to.

Dao Essence Divine Crystal… classified by leaf?

Li Che's eyes flickered.

Zhao Beidou nodded: "The leaves upon it are born of heaven and earth; in the mortal realm, there are no Dao Essence Divine Crystals… because the appearance of each Dao Essence Divine Crystal signifies the collapse of the Great Dao."

"The collapsed Great Dao is like withered, falling leaves; the leaves that fall down are the Dao Essence Divine Crystals…"

"The more divine markings on the leaf, the more precious the Dao Essence Divine Crystal!"

Zhao Beidou took a deep breath: "It's a pity that excavation and research into the Mysterious Gap are too scarce in the present age; high-quality Dao Essence Divine Crystals have long been divided among the Four Great Divine Factions."

Li Che nodded, gazing at the Dao Essence Divine Crystal in his palm, at the leaf's divine markings, his heart involuntarily trembled.

Within his chest, the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit was beating wildly.

"My lord, Dao Essence Divine Crystals cannot be replicated; not even a Divine Eagle Half-Immortal of such monstrous talent could replicate its leaf markings, for its Dao has collapsed, and in heaven and earth this leaf can no longer exist."

It seemed he had seen through Li Che's thoughts, Zhao Beidou couldn't help but speak.

Li Che turned his head and glanced at Zhao Beidou.

Cannot be replicated?

Li Che's gaze fell once more upon the leaf.

Feeling the frantic beating of the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit…

"Truly cannot be replicated?"

"I don't believe it."

Li Che gave a light smile.

Clutching the Dao Essence Divine Crystal, Li Che's eyes shifted, he flicked a finger, and instantly a stream of light burst forth, surging outward.

Then it transformed into an enormous meatball; the meatball trembled, releasing a mighty divine pressure that rolled outward…

"This is… a Temple God?!"

Zhao Beidou's heart shuddered, he sucked in a breath.

He turned his head, incredulously looking at Li Che.

"Our lord, just what is his origin?"

"Is he… creating a Temple God?!"

"No!"

"It seems not just a simple Temple God!"

"But rather, a Temple God of flesh and blood?!"

"Our lord creating a Temple God… what does he intend? Could he possibly mean to clash head‑on with the divine factions of the Mysterious Gap?!"

"That would be far too difficult, wouldn't it?!"

Li Che's brow furrowed slightly, finding Zhao Beidou's constant startles a bit annoying.

He flicked a finger.

"Go back."

Zhao Beidou instantly exploded into black mist, and in the next moment returned to the tent.

Inside the tent.

Xie Yunshen gathered away his fortune golden lotus, sat cross‑legged on the mat, eyes lowered, as if a faint light continually flickered.

When space twisted.

When Zhao Beidou's body turned into rolling black mist that surfaced and slowly condensed into form.

Xie Yunshen's smile at the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

He looked at Zhao Beidou.

"Zhao Patriarch… you see, I didn't deceive you, did I?"

"Welcome, join the Underworld."

…

…

Boom—!!!

Above the Grand Canal.

Waves surged and rolled, white spray colliding and exploding!

The next moment, the burly, stalwart figure seated cross‑legged in the middle of the great river, rising and falling with the waves, snapped his eyes open.

Two sharp dragon horns, like divine spears, pierced the void.

"Not right!"

"Zhao Beidou's aura has been gone for a while…"

The Old Dragon God's eyes snapped open, his vertical pupils constricting slightly, bursting forth a hint of ferocity.

Bang—!

The waves beneath him exploded, the Old Dragon God rose to his feet, robes flying, took a step, as if shrinking the earth to an inch, directly appearing from above the Grand Canal into the imperial court's camp.

Gu Qianchi, who was cultivating under the banner that shielded heavenly and earthly will, frowned, sensing the Old Dragon God's extremely overbearing aura.

He also transformed into sword light, appearing above the camp tent.

"Senior Dragon God, what are you intending to do?"

"Releasing your aura like this will affect the morale of the imperial army's soldiers…"

Gu Qianchi stood with hands behind his back, sword qi pointing to the heavens, and said in a deep voice.

"I came to check on Zhao Beidou… this fellow… his aura has been missing for a while; I suspect he may have fled the battlefield!"

The Old Dragon God snorted.

Gu Qianchi stared, stunned, "How could this be possible?"

Even if he is a Divine Tribulation cultivator, even heavily wounded, fleeing the battlefield shouldn't happen.

But Gu Qianchi had indeed not sensed Zhao Beidou's aura, and his expression changed involuntarily.

The two said nothing more, their gazes falling on the tent where Zhao Beidou was.

But they saw Grand Dharma Master Huang Mei guarding the entrance.

"Amitabha, the National Preceptor set up a great formation to prevent eavesdropping by the underworld's fiends, and is now in secret discussion with Patriarch Zhao about some matters…"

Grand Dharma Master Huang Mei said with a smiling face.

The Old Dragon God narrowed his eyes, but was too lazy to pay attention to Grand Dharma Master Huang Mei; if a Divine Tribulation cultivator from Xiao Lingyin Temple came, he would still give them some face.

A Divine Tribulation cultivator who hasn't even survived a single calamity or tribulation is naturally not worth his notice.

Huang Mei also did not block them, stepping aside to make way.

However, the tent was soon lifted open; National Preceptor Xie Yunshen held four small flags in his hand, and as the flags were withdrawn, Zhao Beidou's heavily wounded aura became clearly apparent…

Gu Qianchi's brow relaxed; now he understood—this old loach was just making a fuss for no reason.

Zhao Beidou, at least a Divine Tribulation cultivator, as a Divine Tribulation cultivator… possesses the dignity unique to such a cultivator; how could he possibly flee without a word?

The Old Dragon God frowned, entered the tent, and saw Zhao Beidou sitting cross-legged on a mat, his complexion pallid, the calamity-tribulation cycle constantly leaking Dao Essence.

Upon seeing the Old Dragon God, Zhao Beidou immediately sneered: "Old Dragon God, whom are you looking down on?"

"I, Zhao Beidou… would rather die in battle than flee the battlefield!"

"Death, I Zhao Beidou fear not at all!"

The Old Dragon God's brow twitched slightly, he glanced at the indignant Zhao Beidou, and let out a contemptuous snort.

"Not afraid of death? Nobody is unafraid of death… nobody."

Zhao Beidou watched the Old Dragon God unleash his overbearing aura, his turning and departing figure.

A cold gleam also surfaced in his eyes.

"Soon…"

"Old loach, you'll soon come join me…"

"I'll die before you…"

"Then I'm your senior!"

……

……

Having seen off Zhao Beidou, Li Che looked toward the meatball formed after Huang Jianjiu devoured the Temple Deity's position pearl.

He hesitated a moment, then flicked the Dao Essence Divine Crystal in his hand, shooting it toward Huang Jianjiu's Temple Deity meatball.

Boom——!!!

When the Dao Essence Divine Crystal struck Huang Jianjiu's Temple Deity meatball, ripples instantly spread, and the vast Dao Essence, like flowing water, was continuously drawn out…

Gurgle, gurgle…

The sound of swallowing echoed endlessly.

The Dao Essence energy within the Dao Essence Divine Crystal was swiftly extracted and devoured…

In no time, only an empty shell of the Dao Essence Divine Crystal remained.

With a clack, the shell of the Dao Essence Divine Crystal fell to the ground, and Li Che picked it up again.

"My lord… still… still need…"

Huang Jianjiu's intermittent will seemed to form sound waves that transmitted outward.

It has indeed grown somewhat!

"I know you're eager, but don't rush yet."

Li Che shook his head; he had slain a Divine Tribulation cultivator, barely managing to gather a single-leaf Dao Essence Divine Crystal, and he had no reserves left.

Li Che also couldn't determine how many Dao Essence Divine Crystals Huang Jianjiu would need to transform into a Temple Deity…

So, Li Che's yearning for Dao Essence Divine Crystals might only be satisfied in the soon-to-open Qitian Cheng.

Qitian Cheng, situated at the junction of the Inner and Earthly Mystic Gates…

There should be a chance to obtain Dao Essence Divine Crystals, right?

Feeling the aura of Huang Jianjiu's Temple Deity meatball growing ever stronger…

Li Che's eyes couldn't help but fill with a hint of anticipation.

Gah-gah-gah——

The rain in Mo City poured down frenziedly, like countless black spears piercing heaven and earth, bringing a wave of oppressive heaviness and gloom!

Li Che toyed with the Dao Essence Divine Crystal drained of its Dao Essence, rubbing the leaf vein pattern on its surface.

In a vague moment, Li Che seemed, through a leaf, to sense a terrifying sacred tree withering, dying, collapsing…

The trunk snapped, hundreds of millions of leaves rustling as they fell.

Thud-thud-thud——

Suddenly, Li Che's pupils flickered; within his chest, sounds like a heavenly deity standing before a war drum, furiously beating, spread like a raging wave.

Boom——!!!

Invisible ripples, centered on Li Che's body, instantly surged wildly outward!

The qi and blood within his body, uncontrolled, began to boil!

Li Che no longer suppressed it, fully releasing the restraint!

Bang——!!!

Countless streams of qi and blood erupted from his pores, forming behind him the phantasms of a divine dragon and a giant elephant, reaching a hundred zhang tall, dancing wildly in Mo City Fengdu!

Boundless scorching qi and blood, rampantly intertwined, like an immortal aura silk thread, like a swimming snake winding, intertwined around the divine dragon and giant elephant!

Li Che's black hair danced wildly without cease; countless ink rain instantly evaporated, in an instant turning into a hazy black mist that enveloped the entire Ink City!

Success!

Li Che's eyes flickered open and shut; in an instant, despite being brilliant.

The whole person stood amidst wind and rain, both eyes bursting forth golden smoke like lightning, swaying wildly!

The person's skin became extraordinarily translucent; every inch of flesh, every inch of skin, every acupoint, burst forth scorching qi and blood, the space around the body seeming to twist uncontrollably!

In the mind, the scene of the battle with Zhao Beidou kept replaying, continuously playing.

Exhale—

Inhale—

Li Che, at this moment, even without relying on the sudden enlightenment feedback from the Dragon Elephant Golden Strong Dao Fruit, seemed to have divine aid.

The spine like a dragon, qi and blood vortices swirling; when the eighth massive ring of qi and blood vortex appeared!

Li Che raised his head and let out a long howl; his black, vigorous hair flew like electricity!

Five fingers clenched, hands changing seals, on the open ground of Ink City they actually began to practice.

Eyes blazing, mind racing like a storm!

Boom——!!!

Fingers spread, forming seals, fiercely unleashed; instantly, the splendid golden qi and blood continuously drawn, transforming into a splendid golden flame qilin, galloping and trampling the void!

The resonant cry of the qilin, like an auspicious omen descending, echoed throughout the entire Ink City.

Within the spine, the eighth qi and blood vortex actually grew another layer!

The rumbling sound, like the vast sea being stirred into a vortex!

Li Che's body and spine emitted crackling sounds; at this moment, the Martial Immortal Golden Body was stimulated to the extreme, bones and tendons resonating, flesh and blood trembling together!

However, even the power to detonate the eighth Mystic Gate Immortal Seed could be withstood.

The power of the Immortal Seed's growth naturally also lay within the tolerable range.

Sizzle—

Li Che seemed to turn into a mass of scorching flame; as it burned, the air continually twisted and blurred.

He opened his mouth.

The scorching qi wave surged forth, the air as if plowed into gullies that would be hard to recover for a long time!

Immortal Seed!

Auspicious Beast Suppress Void Seal achieved minor success!

Battling the Divine Tribulation, plus the feedback from the Dao Fruit's shedding at this moment!

This extremely obscure and difficult Immortal Seed martial art, from entry, has reached minor success!

Rattle—

Qi and blood surged like a tide.

Li Che's face flushed red, his huge tendons like flood dragons spreading across the terrifyingly extreme Martial Immortal Golden Body at this moment.

By the ear, a thunderous explosion rang, echoing without end, as if even the slumbering deities would be awakened!

Like between snow-capped mountains, the ancient temple's bronze bell, struck by heavenly gods, its sound waves reverberated across the vast wilderness, echoing through the universe!

Within the heart, hot currents surged.

Accompanied by a throb, golden light slowly seeped out.

Li Che only felt a terrifying impact rushing toward him!

【Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Golden Strong (lv7, 0%)】

Dragon Elephant Golden Strong!

Never before——

Transformation!

Fifth Transformation!
