Chapter 513: with translation of chapter title

Hiss——

It seemed as if golden smoke mist spread and intertwined from above the arms, filling with something special, intertwining and encircling.

Like a drop of golden ink falling into a pool, it diffused and spread, churning and rolling, intertwining into a unique pattern.

Bit by bit, it was etched, clung, intertwined, and rolled upon Li Che's Martial Immortal Golden Body……

Grand Dao Immortal Mark!

Li Che's eyes opened, lustrous gold light continually intertwining brilliantly within his pupils, his heart throbbing incessantly, as if morning and evening bells were constantly striking, erupting in deafening booms.

Dong Dong Dong Dong——

Within his chest, his heart pounded with tremendous force, as if a heavenly deity were beating a drum!

Purple patterns continually spread, like order chains woven from the Grand Dao, entwining the skin and slowly seeping into flesh, meridians, and bones.

Boom——

The aura on his body kept rising, his flesh undergoing an earth-shaking transformation, the surrounding space uncontrollably collapsing and shattering.

The wild wind raged, intertwining without cease, air currents surging; Li Che's black robe embroidered with golden lotus patterns on his Martial Immortal Golden Body fluttered constantly, his qi and blood like mist, lustrous gold tumbling, his whole body seeming to be dyed gold.

His aura was like a mountain, his eyes like gold!

Primordial Fire Tribulation's Grand Dao Immortal Mark!

Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh——

Li Che's breathing felt much heavier, his whole body, every inch of sinew and bone trembling slightly!

Immortal marks, divine marks?!

What is the mark of becoming a supreme?

It is to condense a Grand Dao Divine Mark and master a Grand Dao……

Of course, a supreme condensing a Grand Dao Divine Mark does so by inscribing the Grand Dao Divine Mark upon the calamity wheel, forging the calamity wheel into a divine platform, in preparation to ignite the divine fire and prove the Dao to become a divine spirit!

Three Disaster Supremes, with three tribulations can inscribe three Grand Dao Divine Marks, constructing a shielded divine platform.

Still somewhat different from Li Che now.

The supreme's Grand Dao Divine Mark is inscribed upon the disaster wheel condensed with divinity.

But now, Li Che has refined the Primordial Dao Tribulation to perfection, and the Grand Dao Immortal Mark he has condensed is inscribed upon his flesh!

This differs from the supreme's forged divine platform; Li Che has no divine platform, his flesh…… is the divine platform, no, flesh inscribed with immortal marks, forged becomes an immortal platform!

Arms outstretched, the purple Primordial Grand Dao Immortal Mark continually spread and intertwined, diffusing across Li Che's body, covering him entirely, even the nail caps on his fingertips blooming with patterns.

Clanging sounds rang without cease, the Martial Immortal Golden Body erupting in booms, as if every inch of bone and muscle colliding and friction produced noise like rolling thunder; within the crystal-clear blood, each drop like a gem, wildly rolling and flowing, emitted a terrifying roar like a great river driving waves.

"Ah——"

"Inhale——"

Li Che felt the ever-growing mighty strength; even without detonating the Mystic Gate Immortal Seed, he sensed a transcendent transformation.

His flesh became tougher; those Grand Dao Immortal Marks etched upon it were like tempering steel—subjected to utmost pure heat, hammered millions of times, purged of impurities, forged into steel grain.

"As Xixi would say……"

"Got stronger!"

Li Che lightly laughed, able to feel a noticeable transformation in his own flesh.

I never imagined that refining a Dao Tribulation to perfection could actually condense a Grand Dao Immortal Mark; truly unexpected.

The Martial Immortal Golden Body seemed to have received an amplification!

Donned even tougher armor!

Fingers splayed, the immortal marks upon them twisting and spreading, he clenched tightly; the air instantly burst, the void around his fist directly exploding and collapsing into a deep hollow!

Above Ink City, large raindrops continually fell swiftly from high altitude, striking the ground, splashing ripples, then evaporated by scorching qi and blood into vapor.

Li Che spread his arms, immortal marks engraved all over his body.

Upon his back, the Mystic Gate Immortal Seed known as the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant Furnace suddenly began to vibrate, a golden qi-and-blood vortex appearing, the vortex becoming exceptionally brilliant and profound!

Within the vortex's depths, a misty vapor was sprouting, drifting like a dream; the Grand Dao Immortal Marks engraved on Li Che's flesh also appeared within his apertures.

Then it slowly merged with this strand of airflow.

Boom——

A profound and mysterious qi mechanism surged; merely a wisp of breath, yet it felt as heavy as a mountain, as if it wanted to collapse the void itself.

"This is……"

"Immortal Qi!"

Li Che's eyes narrowed; previously, the Mystic Gate Immortal Seed opened, merging the power of the Dao Tribulation within, which would condense a prototype of Immortal Qi.

But now, with the construction of the Grand Dao Divine Mark, this Immortal Qi prototype condensed into true Immortal Qi!

However, what use is this Immortal Qi?

Within the Mystic Gate Immortal Seed, the qi-and-blood vortex drew out this strand of Immortal Qi, winding around the fingers, filled with unique meaning.

Li Che's eyes flowed with gold light; earlier, through the Star-Plucking Eye, peering into the void and returning to truth, he had glimpsed the Immortal Qi prototype, but he still did not know its specific effects.

Wind and waves howled, sweeping across Ink City, torrential rain pouring down incessantly; Li Che clenched his five fingers, drawing forth this strand of Primordial Immortal Qi.

His whole body in Ink City began to practice martial arts, Immortal Qi entwining, he unleashed the unadorned fist technique transformed from the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant.

In an instant, Immortal Qi merged into the fist technique, hidden within the fist, flickering and changing, crystal-clear, terrifying power, allowing Li Che's fist technique to directly undergo a qualitative transformation, granting different tiers of strength!

Only now was the might of this Immortal Seed martial art truly unleashed.

Li Che continually practiced martial arts, simply throwing punches, swinging punches, clenching fists……

Raindrops exploded, roaring like a great bell beside his ears.

At this moment, Li Che actually felt an enlightenment, like being bathed in heavenly nectar!

Immortal martial, immortal martial…… only martial arts that fuse Immortal Qi are true immortal martial!

In the fray of fist slaughter, immortal qi twirls—only then is it true martial immortality!

Immortal qi endowed this martial art, achieving the ultimate transformation!

Li Che suddenly realized; in his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit representing unparalleled horizontal training throbbed nonstop.

Vaguely, when proficiency reached the Great Accomplishment of the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant Furnace immortal martial art, it directly leapt to the Master level at this moment!

This is Li Che's division of martial arts proficiency: after Great Accomplishment comes Master, after Master comes the Transformation Realm.

A wisp of immortal qi's infusion lets the Great Accomplishment immortal martial art transform toward the Master level.

Or rather, immortal qi directly endows martial arts with a proficiency increase.

Its power became even greater!

Li Che drew a deep breath; when he threw a punch, when he unleashed slaughter, immortal qi also coiled around his fist, empowering it.

His eyes flickered, a hint of regret welling up.

His understanding of immortal qi can only reach this extent for now; he doesn't know if there are other effects.

But even just this effect makes his heart burn with fervor, vastly increasing his combat power.

His flesh trembled; within the mystic gates, blood qi vortices swirled, his breath rose steadily, as he tried to condense a second strand of immortal qi.

But there was no way to continue, because his blood qi strength fundamentally disallowed condensing a second strand of immortal qi.

Li Che couldn't help feeling some regret; he understood that raising the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant Furnace's proficiency to the height of Transformation Realm Martial Arts was a heavy burden and long road.

"Forget it, try to condense immortal qi of other immortal martial arts… raising other immortal martial arts to the Master level, my combat power will undergo an unprecedented transformation."

Li Che's jet-black, vigorous hair whipped the void, his eyes shining brilliantly to the extreme.

Ink rain splashed onto his body, evaporated by scorching blood qi and searing flesh, twisting into mist.

Li Che again practiced his fist technique in Ink City for a while.

Afterward, his gaze fell upon Xixi, seated atop the Lord Sovereign Tower, undergoing the Divine Weapon Set's transformation of her flesh.

Xixi's aura transformed at breakneck speed.

Li Che tapped his toe; his whole person instantly vanished.

Hum—

Reappearing, Li Che was already in Qitian Cheng.

Qitian Cheng Outer City, wind and waves howled.

Li Che appeared here, hardly attracting anyone's notice.

Within the courtyard, Fang Hanshu drifted out, his eyes somewhat astonished as he looked at Li Che, able to sense the transformation occurring on Li Che.

But Fang Hanshu had long grown accustomed to this; Li Che's cultivation speed was truly astonishing—when Li Che first arrived at the Qianyuan Divine Sect, what cultivation did he have?

Only how many years have passed?

Li Che had already become renowned throughout the world, an unrivaledly powerful martial immortal.

Fang Hanshu looked at Li Che, his eyes flashing with brilliant light.

Li Che should now have gone to Golden Light Prefecture City to confront the anomaly of the Third Prince's Guiyi Miao, yet he abruptly appeared here……

Fang Hanshu is no fool; he instantly understood Li Che's purpose.

The Underworld, another addition is needed.

"Shall we move against the Jialuo Supreme and the Xuanzhen Supreme?"

Fang Hanshu stroked his handsome beard and asked.

Qitian Cheng Inner City still has two Supremes, though they are merely Three Calamities One Tribulation Realm Supremes, their cultivation equal to that of the Tianglang Supreme.

Slaying the Tianglang Supreme gave Li Che a notable cultivation boost, yet the Third Prince's Guiyi Miao turmoil, the Four Sovereigns transforming into the Three Pure, the rebirth of the Third Prince Temple God, brought great turmoil and danger.

Xixi's bond with the Third Prince's Guiyi Miao ran too deep; moreover, the Third Prince Temple God is a Divine Spirit of the Yulian Legion, and Li Che could not bear to watch the Third Prince Temple God be surrounded and slaughtered by the strong of the All Gods Legion.

So……

After all, he still wanted to give it a try.

Before striving, first increase his strength, then speak.

Li Che nodded, not denying.

"Just gained some insights in the martial way, perfect for warming up hands……"

Compared to the Young Dragon Emperor in the Stone Mountain of Ancestral Dragon Island, these two Three Calamities One Tribulation Realm Supremes are merely first-rate punching bags.

Of course, Li Che's main goal remains the Young Dragon Emperor; turning foe into friends, only then can he have a chance to counterattack in the upcoming storm battle of the Ne Zha Temple God's rebirth.

The Young Dragon Emperor's Dragon Coffin and Dragon Palace were shattered by him, exposing his cultivation, which was limited to the Two Calamities Three Tribulations Realm……

Yet the Young Dragon Emperor's combat power rivals that of a Three Calamities Two Tribulations or even Three Tribulations Supreme.

Li Che now, though he has condensed the Primordial Dao Source Great Dao Immortal Mark and a wisp of immortal qi upon him, is still insufficient.

A Divine Spirit……

Li Che must give it ample attention!

To welcome this Divine Spirit in peak condition…… into the Underworld!

"The Jialuo Supreme and Xuanzhen Supreme, having experienced the Tianglang's death, are now likely to become extremely vigilant……"

Fang Hanshu said.

"Attempting to defeat them one by one might prove difficult."

Li Che chuckled: "Who said I have to defeat them one by one?"

Huh?

Fang Hanshu blinked, his eyes involuntarily showing astonishment.

"Since they're on such good terms, let's just send them off together……"

Li Che said calmly.

As his five fingers splayed open, a cute baby‑elephant mask dropped into his palm — it was the Underworld's Diti Listening Mask.

He placed the mask over his face, and Li Che's qi and blood began to erupt in transformation, the thirty‑six thousand apertures all spewing demonic qi!

Fang Hanshu was dumbstruck.

"Do you want to bring it into Mo City?"

Fang Hanshu asked.

If they were to enter Mo City, Fang Hanshu wouldn't even bother disguising himself; after all, anyone Li Che drags into Mo City's Fengdu rarely walks out unharmed.

"Shall we enter Mo City?"

Li Che pondered, and inevitably thought of Xixi, who was still in Mo City's Fengdu, having obtained the Divine Spirit set and transformed herself.

If they were to drag the two supremes, Xuan Zhen and Jialou, into the city, once a supreme‑level battle erupted it would surely engulf the whole Mo City, making it far from easy for Xixi to cultivate in peace.

Moreover, Li Che now feels confident that even without entering Mo City's Fengdu, he is certain he can slay the two supremes, Jialou and Xuan Zhen, who are at the Three Calamities One Tribulation realm.

"No need."

His black robe flared, Li Che clenched his fist, accompanied by a hissing demonic qi sound, the Yin‑Yang demonic blade instantly appeared, its surface covered in pores spewing out, and Li Che hoisted it onto his shoulder.

Thick demonic qi roiled and surged, enveloping and obscuring Li Che's figure.

Fang Hanshu gently exhaled, took out the Hunter God Slayer's mask, placed it on his face, and instantly his aura vanished completely, thoroughly concealed.

Li Che suddenly turned, his gaze falling on Fang Hanshu, beholding that star‑like deep mask, his eyes as profound as a black hole.

"Hunter God Pavilion…"

Whether this mysterious power will take part in the siege against the Third Prince's Temple deity is unknown.

As for the Hunter God Pavilion, who exactly stands behind it?

Fang Hanshu himself wasn't sure; he had initially accepted the Hunter God Pavilion's mask simply because he needed to borrow its power.

But in reality, Fang Hanshu could not even contact the true high‑level members of the Hunter God Pavilion.

The Hunter God Pavilion does have a mortal realm chief, but its true headquarters lies within the Ghostly Pass.

Fang Hanshu donned the Hunter God Slayer's mask, placed the star mask over it, stepped forth, and gazed at the demonic‑qi‑wreathed Li Che.

Fang Hanshu sighed with myriad feelings…

Although he had long known Li Che would not let these two supremes go, and would surely seek a chance to eliminate them.

Yet he never imagined that this day would come so soon!

The three supreme mountains that once weighed upon his heart…

They were about to be completely cleared away!

…

…

Crack—crack!

It was as if lightning had sliced the night sky, bathing Qitian Cheng inside and out in a brilliance like daylight!

The wind and rain that permeated the heavens and earth now seemed utterly insignificant.

Qitian Cheng's Nei Cheng.

A gloomy, oppressive aura lingered, the mighty supreme's pressure spreading like wind and rain across the city, enveloping the whole city.

So oppressive that one could barely breathe.

Within the Nei Cheng, the experts from the various divine camps of the Ghostly Pass dared not breathe, their faces grim and tense.

The three supremes stationed in Qitian Cheng's Nei Cheng have seen one of them, the Heavenly Wolf Supreme, fall—most importantly, no one knows how he fell.

As a result, the Xuan Zhen Supreme and the Jialou Supreme have remained united, constantly together without a moment's separation.

The Grand Dao divine sigils intertwined, ringing out like the clashing of chains of order, constantly permeating every corner of the city.

They sensed the situation in every corner.

Thus every cultivator in the Nei Cheng felt utterly suppressed.

Suddenly.

The Xuan Zhen Supreme and the Jialou Supreme, seated cross‑legged in the palace halls, abruptly opened their eyes.

The Jialou Supreme's whole body was shrouded in golden Buddhist light; he formed hand seals, a crimson dot glowed at his brow as if about to bleed, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"Something's off…"

He looked toward Xuan Zhen.

Xuan Zhen also slowly opened his eyes; the two supremes' Grand Dao divine sigils trembled, as if at that moment they sensed a terrifying crisis capable of making their very souls quiver!

That was the warning of the Grand Dao divine sigils!

"They're coming…"

Xuan Zhen said in a low voice.

The mysterious entity that slew the Heavenly Wolf has arrived!

They don't know how the Heavenly Wolf died, nor who killed him.

Now, the experts of the various divine camps of the Ghostly Pass have all been drawn to the soon‑to‑be‑reborn Third Prince Guiyi Miao, rushing to the Ghostly Pass region where the Third Prince Guiyi Miao lies.

Thus, Qitian Cheng's Nei Cheng has temporarily taken on a laissez‑faire tendency.

Even though the Heavenly Wolf Supreme is dead and a supreme has fallen, the Ghostly Demon Lair has not dispatched stronger Second‑Tribulation or Third‑Tribulation supremes to investigate his death.

They suspect that at least until the affair of the Third Prince Guiyi Miao concludes will the Ghostly Demon Lair send forth greater supremes.

Black Sumeru and the Dark Heavenly Court… are largely the same.

Xuan Zhen and Jialou felt as if they were being left to fend for themselves.

The onset of the crisis made their hairs stand on end, giving them a numb feeling as if life and death were beyond their control.

But the two supremes had long anticipated that such a day would come.

The two exchanged a glance.

"Who exactly killed the Heavenly Wolf… soon you and I will know."

Boom!

The two supremes rose to their feet, terrifying supreme aura rolling outward, their sharp gazes sweeping out.

In the next moment, they sensed the walls of Qitian Nei Cheng being torn apart.

The towering demonic aura, as if transformed into a colossal demonic elephant!

The demonic elephant blotted out sky and sun, shining upon the firmament of Qitian Nei Cheng!

"That is…"

Xuan Zhen and Jialou, the two supremes, couldn't help but draw a deep breath.

Demonic aura?!

How could there be such intense demonic aura…

The one who killed the Heavenly Wolf… could it be a powerhouse from the Mysterious Demon Cave?

Is this an internal strife from the Mysterious Demon Cave?!

Obviously impossible!

If speaking of Black Sumeru and the Dark Heavenly Court, internal strife might still arise, but the chance of internal strife within the Mysterious Demon Cave is very low.

Rumble!

The entire ground of Qitian Nei Cheng began to churn violently, a terrifyingly extreme demonic aura that blotted out sky and sun rolling in.

At the inner gate.

A tall figure, clad in loose black robes, the robes fluttering in the fierce wind, one hand hanging down, sleeves fluttering, the other hand gripping a huge demonic blade, like the tail of a rattlesnake, covered in fine pores, like a living thing breathing.

Xuan Zhen Supreme and Jialou Supreme's hearts tightened, their gazes both fixed on this figure.

Yet their faces also showed a hint of strangeness.

Because they felt no Divine Dao Patterns on this figure shrouded in demonic aura.

In other words, this figure's cultivation might not even be that of a supreme!

Yet the domineering menace contained within the demonic aura is in no way inferior to a supreme.

How could such an existence exist?

Jialou Supreme's body is golden, behind him a colossal world‑suppressing Buddha image looms, the Buddha glares angrily, upon it Divine Dao Patterns like orderly silk threads intertwine and hang down.

"Your Excellency… which divine faction do you hail from?"

"We obey the divine spirits' command to guard Qitian Nei Cheng, cut off the path of return to Qitian, you come slaughtering—are you intending to become enemies of our Black Sumeru, Dark Heavenly Court, and other divine factions?"

The angry‑eyed Buddha, devoid of a trace of compassion, utters true words, roaring and shaking the high heavens.

The supremely majestic divine surges roll and spill like mercury over the earth, penetrating every hole, filling every inch of space!

The sound like a great bell and lute, shockwaves purify hearts and souls, Black Sumeru's methods, as ever, directly target the soul!

Li Che bore the Yin‑Yang Demon Blade, the listening mask on his face wore a smile, yet his eyes were deep and unfathomable, devoid of any emotion.

He stepped down heavily, with the demonic aura transformed from the martial immortal's qi and blood through the Myriad Demon Emperor Dao Fruit, at this moment fully erupting, like a hurricane passing, everyone felt oppressed, pressed to the ground, letting many strong ones within the inner city lose their voices completely.

Instantly, the terrifying power erupted upon the ground, the ground of Qitian Nei Cheng cracked open, countless bricks and stones no longer flat, jagged and uneven, exploding upward, hot air rolling.

Like thousands of meteors shooting up from the earth, countless air currents surged wildly!

Li Che's body lunged forward, the demon blade in his hand swept, gorgeous blade light illuminated the heavens!

Directly he slammed a slash at that ice‑cold golden great Buddha, the great Buddha shrouded in Divine Dao Patterns, its palms rose up, slapping toward the demonic‑aura‑filled Li Che!

Without a word, upon meeting it was slaughter!

No concealment, no sneaking like abducting the Heavenly Wolf Supreme, just outright slaughter!

This…

Xuan Zhen Supreme and Jialou Supreme's hearts sank sharply!

They aren't afraid of the opponent sneaking around, doing things covertly, which shows the opponent lacks confidence in their own cultivation, but knowing full well that we have two supremes on our side, the opponent, upon appearing, immediately displays slaughter…

That leaves only one possibility: they have extreme confidence in their own strength!

Rumble——!!!

Without any flourish, merely swinging the demon blade, it cleared all airflow, dust, sand, and gravel within Qitian Nei Cheng completely!

Zizzle——

Within the countless demonic aura, there also flickered a domineering dark‑golden current!

Xuan Zhen Supreme formed seals with both hands; instantly, countless Divine Dao Patterns appeared in the mid‑air of Qitian Nei Cheng, as if interwoven penetrating the bones, various patterns, hiding many divine secret arts!

Boom——!!!

The imprints formed by intertwining Divine Dao Patterns, arranged and combined, formed a formation like!

Various negative forces suppressed upon oneself: binding, freezing, dizziness, mind‑confusion, weightlessness…

Numerous divine secret arts, effortlessly drawn by the supremes, their deployment like eating and drinking, no wind‑up, directly crashing down like a sky‑covering deluge.

Li Che's eyes burst forth with brilliant light to the extreme!

Beneath the black robe, his flesh suddenly bulged, bones resonated, stretched out, qi‑blood vortex turned into demonic vortex, countless purple flames burned and twisted, forming an eerie purple pattern etched into his flesh.

Gripping the demon blade, the thunder‑magnetic track activated, the martial immortal golden body exploded!

Boom——!!!

Under the drive of the current, a figure wrapped in purple‑gold light instantly spanned the heavens, a single slash split the angry‑eyed golden Buddha with overwhelming domineering force!

The chains of order formed from Divine Dao Patterns snapped!

What?!

Garuda Supreme's heart jolted—what power is this?

Ignoring the suppression of the Great Dao Divine Patterns was bad enough, but he could even sever the Great Dao Divine Patterns he had woven and scattered, which covered the surroundings?!

It was hardly more than a single breath!

The Golden Great Buddha exploded!

His stature swelled to about three meters, his black robe straining over a burly figure, wrapped in rolling demonic aura, appearing like a demon elephant above the Garuda Supreme.

He stepped down heavily!

Boom—

Like a meteorite striking the ground, the earth shook and mountains trembled!

The palaces cultivated by the two Supremes directly collapsed and exploded into ruins!

The colossal demonic aura intertwined into the demon elephant's hooves, trampling fiercely, cracking the ground; the thousands of zhang of land in Qitian Nei Cheng lay in ruins, not a single spot intact!

Not a few of the Calamity Divine Tribulations could not even withstand the force, spewing blood, flung sideways by the qi blast, bleeding profusely on the spot!

Looking down from above, it was as if a mushroom cloud had suddenly risen!

The Profound Truth Supreme's face turned grim as he formed seals, divine light shining; a colossal Golden Armored Divine General, a hundred zhang tall, brandished its weapons and lunged at Li Che.

Li Che's whole body was covered in interwoven inscribed Great Dao Immortal Patterns, feeling an unprecedented power, his control over the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame seemed effortlessly beyond imagination.

Li Che clenched his five fingers, and instantly a massive purple divine dragon condensed from Primordial Fire Tribulation power burst into the void, its whiskers, scales, fangs, and claws lifelike, as if exquisitely carved.

The Golden Armored Divine General was instantly struck by this purple-flame divine dragon, exploding outright, half its body shattering, countless divine essences scattering!

And behind Li Che.

Fang Hanshu drifted over, wearing a God-Hunter Assassin mask……

He hesitated at this moment whether to act.

Because……

Li Che's ferocity and strength exceeded his imagination; indeed, Li Che had indeed broken through his strength, daring to come straight to Qitian Nei Cheng to kill.

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering battle erupted in an instant.

A battle of Supremes!

Thus, amidst everyone's astonishment, the Great Dao Divine Patterns churned in midair like coiling dragons, Buddha light, divinity, qi and blood, demonic aura……

Various energies incessantly collided, like a boiling ocean; the already-recovered Qitian Nei Cheng ruptured again, smoke and dust billowing, sand and gravel hanging inverted!

Li Che wore the Underworld Attentive Listening Mask; a breath seemed to rapidly circulate in his chest as he thrust out a horizontal punch, Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder erupting from his pores, the electromagnetic orbit absorbing this thunder, mastering the thunder's nature!

Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant, practicing the fist technique!

With this relentless outpouring, one qi overwhelmed another, rising step by step, his aura like mountains, peaks stacking upon peaks, all pressing down upon Li Che.

The resonant golden body of the Martial Immortal, inscribed with immortal patterns, bore the superimposition of these qi!

Boom!!!!

A punch swung out, shattering the void; heavy explosive qi clouds trailed behind, stretching hundreds of zhang, like a void warcraft soaring swiftly across!

The fist aura pierced through, smashing, blasting, sweeping explosions!

The Garuda Supreme stood amidst the ruins, his monk's robes torn apart, blood spilling from his mouth and nose, he slammed his palms together; behind him, the Calamity Tribulation Wheel emerged.

The Great Dao Divine Patterns detached from the Calamity Tribulation Wheel, as if the power of heaven and earth's will, sweeping out violently.

However, Li Che hovered in midair, his five fingers spread, a wisp of purple flame shooting out swiftly!

Upon colliding with the Great Dao Divine Patterns, it actually melted them apart outright!

Li Che clenched his five fingers into a fist and thrust forward; instantly his fist aura pierced the void, transforming into a massive inscribed Dragon Elephant furnace that slammed down with a boom!

A thread of immortal qi transformed into myriad forms within the furnace!

Pfft—

The Garuda Supreme resisted the furnace, but having just barely blocked, his defense shattered instantly, he spat a mouthful of blood, his eyes showing despair.

"A divine spirit?!"

"Such power……"

"Such terrifying oppression!"

"Could the figure beneath this mask be a divine spirit of the Eerie Demon Lair?"

Li Che frowned coldly, devoid of emotion, the demon blade sweeping; the Lone Walker Thousand Mountains Void-Slashing Blade, now myriad immortal martial arts perfectly integrated into his everyday martial way.

Every move is immortal martial arts!

The demon blade swept, cleanly severing the Garuda Supreme's head, his flesh torn apart by the ferocious power of demonic and blade qi fused together, blood and flesh flying!

Meanwhile, the Profound Truth Supreme's face was sorrowful; upon seeing the Garuda Supreme beheaded, he realized the tide had turned, and if he remained in Qitian Nei Cheng, he too would die!

The three Supremes guarding Qitian Nei Cheng have this day been utterly slain—what a mournful affair!

With a long whistle, the Profound Truth Supreme's daoist robe flared; from his sleeve he slapped out a big hand, beans entwined with misty divinity, rapidly swelling and growing in midair, transforming into divine generals!

This is the Dark Heavenly Court's divine art, Scatter Beans to Form Soldiers!

However, a surge of demonic qi blade light swept over, the divine generals were cut at the waist, purple flames engulfing them, reducing them to nothing!

"Such power!"

The Profound Truth Supreme felt sorrow, unable to block, simply unable to block!

Perhaps only a Three Tribulations Supreme could stop it!

The Profound Truth Supreme rose into the air, employing an escape technique, fleeing toward the Eerie Gate outside Qitian Nei Cheng; he wished to leave this city where Supremes bled!

Li Che watched as the Great Dao Divine Patterns shattered, the Calamity Tribulation Wheel cracked, and divine essence spilled from the Profound Truth Supreme.

Raising his five fingers, countless Primordial Wood Tribulation withered-and-flourishing branches' power coiled around his hand, like myriad demonic aura entwining a withered vine.

The withered vine coiled into the shape of a longbow.

A thread of Primordial Fire immortal qi descended, filled with slaughter and explosion.

On Li Che's arm, muscles bulged, nearly bursting his tendons and bones!

Draw the bow!

Bow pulled to a full moon!

A clear phoenix cry erupted from behind, as if a fire phoenix reborn in flames spread its wings and struck straight into the nine heavens!

The phoenix wept blood, its tears falling like pearls!

Immortal Seed Martial Arts, the Weeping Blood Immortal Phoenix Wither-Flourish Arrow!

Immortal Qi empowered!

One arrow tore the void, great Dao immortal patterns intertwined above it, fire light appeared, the sky above the Mysterious Gate seemed stained with blood, rumbling and shaking, as if the heaven-and-earth will of the Mysterious Gate was moved by the immortal patterns!

"This power!"

"Does not belong to the Mysterious Gate!"

"Who are you?!"

Profound True Supreme glared angrily, eyes full of disbelief!

The heaven-and-earth will within the Mysterious Gate is extremely inclusive; unless the immortal spirits of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths descend, it will not stir the heaven-and-earth will of the Mysterious Gate!

But now, this fellow whose strength is merely at supreme level has actually triggered an anomaly in the Mysterious Gate's heaven-and-earth...

Under this cute elephant mask, what face, what person could it be?

This person...

From the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?!

However, for all these doubts, the Profound True Supreme can no longer obtain clarification.

Pfft!

The arrow pierced Profound True Supreme's flesh, pinning his body in the void!

Under Li Che's listening mask, his eyes were utterly cold.

The demonic blade swept across, as if forged by law!

Profound True Supreme's supreme body was instantly cut in midair, blood splattered; every drop of blood's divinity evaporated completely!

A supreme head, eyes unclosed, crashed onto the ground of Qitian Nei Cheng turned to ruins, blasting a deep pit!

The two supremes' heaven-and-earth dao souls roared skyward—what could they change?

Even the mighty flesh was slain; what waves could the dao soul raise?

The dao soul was like sudden fireworks, fading in splendor!

Worn away in the sky.

Inside and outside Qitian Cheng, everyone stood dumbstruck, eyes wide!

The two supremes garrisoned in Qitian Nei Cheng were actually slain outright!

Seeing that figure with demonic aura soaring to the sky, many felt their hairs stand on end—such aura, could it be a powerhouse from the Mysterious Demon Lair?

Under Li Che's listening mask, his cold eyes swept over.

Bearing the yin-yang demonic blade that has drunk supreme blood, indifferent words reverberated between heaven and earth, endless.

"Netherworld listens, draw blade for the Ghost Emperor."

A faint voice, laced with arrogance.

Everyone's eardrums boomed; at this moment they suddenly realized.

Those within the inner city, lying limp in the ruins, the bleeding Gods' Camp strong ones trembled, shock on their faces, finally understood……

Netherworld!

Indeed, it is the Netherworld!

Netherworld… still has strong ones!

Two fingers tore open the void, gathering the broken flesh of Profound True Supreme and Jialou Supreme; the pervasive blood aura, pungent and terrifying, is the residual aura of the fallen supreme.

Qitian Nei Cheng fell into ruin.

Li Che glanced at the many severely wounded Gods' Camp strong ones.

Actually, few strong remain; they are merely cultivators under the three supremes. Now that the supremes have fallen, some have already fled like birds and monkeys into the Mysterious Gate.

Li Che indifferently glanced, yet did not let these strong ones go.

After all……

All can be turned into god-binding feed!

Boom!

Li Che's body blurred in midair, instantly becoming countless afterimages, darting out swiftly from all around.

The demonic blade waved, its light like a tide!

Miserable cries rose and fell; instantly countless painful wails ceased.

All the many strong ones present were completely slaughtered, none left!

Dong dong dong dong——

The demonic blade flew back, grasped by Li Che; every pore of the blade relaxed, shrouded in a mist of blood aura……

Demonic evil and mysterious!

After all, it is itself a demonic blade; such behavior is normal.

Bearing the demonic blade, Li Che fell like a meteor.

Standing in the bloody ruins, an intangible wave appeared as ripples, scattering countless dust and ash, the airflow cleared.

Dong dong dong——

In the chest cavity.

The Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit beat wildly; its speed so fast that in a single breath it seemed like tens of millions of pulsations!

Suddenly.

At a certain moment.

The sound of the Dao Fruit's beating came to an abrupt halt, as if it had vanished from between heaven and earth!

All sounds between heaven and earth disappeared from Li Che's ears.

The sound of wind blowing, clouds moving, blood flowing, gravel rolling, dust swirling…

All vanished without a trace!

Boom——!!!

A dull thud, like a massive stone plunging into lake water.

Li Che felt as if his very soul were about to burst out of his body, as if an invisible soul rhythm struck outward, sensing heaven and earth!

That feeling…

Never before!

And his eyes burst forth with ultimate splendor, like the radiance of a star blossoming!

Extremely rich golden light intertwined and converged into a line of prompt!

【Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV8, 0%)】

……

……
