Chapter 524: Ascending to God on the Spot: The Mortal Martial Immortal Becomes a Legend, Walking the Corpse‑Mountain, Blood‑Sea Path

Divine nature surged like a tide, like a waterfall, pouring down at breakneck speed!

Fifteen divine embryos!

Emerging from a single body!

Such a spectacle no one has ever seen! A rarity unprecedented in all ages!

No one expected that Li Che, a mortal martial immortal, was also cultivating divine nature—how could that be possible?

Martial immortal, martial immortal… the purity of the path must be completely free of any divine nature to become a martial immortal!

Perhaps Li Che once practiced the Way of divine nature long ago, but when reaching the pinnacle of the Martial Saint, opening the heavenly gate and striking the realm of martial immortal, he must have completely abandoned it!

Because once a martial immortal is tainted by divine nature, the divine nature acts like poison, corrupting the martial immortal's flesh, causing the martial path to collapse, preventing further strengthening, even halting cultivation progress!

The martial immortal's body would crumble, no longer pure, no longer favored by the heavens' martial destiny!

Thus, the many intervening deities and the supreme elites of various factions, upon seeing Li Che's forehead split and one divine embryo after another being offered, were stunned and bewildered.

Moreover…

This martial immortal could even offer fifteen divine embryos!

So many divine embryos gathered in one body—who could have imagined?

Not only the Seven Emotions Six Desires Divine Embryos were assembled, but also the Law Heaven Image Earth Spirit Bright True Ape, a divine nature embryo seemingly on par with the heavens!

It's simply… a monster!

Boom boom boom boom—!

Waves surged, divine nature like a tide, pouring out from the ruptured divine embryos, as if a dam cracked open, countless streams gushing forth, roaring, exploding with thunderous blasts!

Divine embryos collapsed one after another: the Law Heaven Image Earth Spirit Bright True Ape, Lu Xuan Sword Immortal Divine Embryo, Seven Emotions Six Desires Divine Embryo…

They turned into countless grains of sand, shattering, fissures spreading in all directions.

That overwhelming divine nature, though a divine embryo, had already reached the level of a divine tribulation!

It was hardly weaker than even a venerable one!

Each of Li Che's divine embryos was incredibly solid and weighty, the accumulated divine nature almost oceanic in magnitude.

He seemed to have been preparing for today, cultivating the martial immortal path while continuously amassing this divine nature, elevating the embryos' divine nature to an absurd degree!

"He's gone mad!"

Su Da's foxlike eyes widened into circles; as a deity, she had never imagined that at this moment her heart would tremble so chaotically!

Countless divine natures washed over Li Che's martial immortal flesh, like lethal poison— even mere immersion could snatch a life, utterly stripping away vitality.

And these divine natures were gradually infiltrating Li Che's flesh, corrupting his martial immortal body, destroying the martial path he had painstakingly cultivated to this height!

Severing his martial immortal path completely!

Three-Transform Golden Toad, Emperor Dàjǐng, and other strong ones also showed astonishment in their eyes.

"A martial immortal transformed into a divine tribulation? That's still just a divine tribulation; even if it rivals a supreme, what does it matter? Facing us deities, it becomes even harder to resist! Foolish conduct!"

Upon the colossal, mountain‑sized body of the Three-Transform Golden Toad, divine nature roiled, divine fire burned behind it, casting myriad glows.

Emperor Dàjǐng narrowed his eyes, a golden dragon of qi winding around him, stirring the nation's destiny, and at this moment, using Lu Lietong's flesh, he struck.

It could be said to be one of Emperor Dàjǐng's trump cards.

Lu Lietong is his flesh, and although many speculated that the so‑called Third Prince might be Ji Mo Li's flesh, in fact…

It is not.

Ji Mo Li still dared not, showing some restraint.

Nevertheless, Lu Lietong's identity did give the emperor a certain disgust.

"Li Che… what a Li Martial Immortal, no—perhaps from now on, the mortal world… will have no martial immortal!"

"For five thousand years the world's martial destiny was yours to command, yet you have defiled it, washing your own being with divine nature, turning the martial immortal body into a divine being's body…"

"What a monstrous martial cultivation, only for a moment's thrill, pursuing a fleeting divine path!"

The emperor squinted.

Nevertheless, the emperor felt a hint of delight, for Li Che's action undeniably showed that Li Che had no more trump cards, his tricks exhausted, forced to take this desperate step to gain immense power.

But the price was huge, cutting off any chance of ascending the martial immortal path!

He could only return to the divine path, and the divine path…

At the end of the divine path lies immortality!

Walking the divine path, with immortality looming like a mountain, Li Che could never reach its end!

In the distance.

Many fell silent.

The Grand Overseer blocked Ha God's Great Dao secret technique attack; his face, suffused with lingering celestial aura, showed a faint stunned look in his eyes.

In the end… it still came to this step, huh?

The Mysterious Turtle beneath him let out a heavy moo, its sound like a tide, carrying a sigh.

What a pity…

The mortal martial immortal thus becomes a singular legend!

Rumble—

The Third Prince was surrounded by swirling black lotus flowers, his eyes blazing with fury, as if to incinerate the void and annihilate everything!

His whole body's withered blood seemed to boil, exuding a towering murderous aura and an overwhelmingly supreme battle will, a massive power eruption as if to erase everything.

"You… all must die!"

The Third Prince's deep voice burst forth!

Rage roiled, and under continual empowerment, the divine nature surging through heaven and earth entered his body ever faster!

The deities striving to restrain and suppress the Third Prince suddenly felt an immense pressure, so great it left them breathless and oppressed.

It was as if the Three Sea Dragon Kings, the Seven‑layer Treasure Pagoda driven by the self‑sacrificing Tuota Arhat, and the true form of the Three‑Transform Golden Toad and other powerful beings all felt an even more terrifying pressure!

Black flames swept over; it was Hell Lotus Fire, continuously igniting a unique divine pattern on the Third Prince's flesh, as if etched from the nether inferno.

The Third Prince was extremely angry; he believed Li Che had to shatter the divine embryo and channel divine essence into the Martial Immortal's body, all because of Him.

A mighty deity suppressed by Hell Lotus, who had slain countless foes, felt immense weakness upon its recent resurrection; it was this weakness that made the Third Prince's anger surge. If only his speed of devouring divine power were faster, if only his recovery were quicker…

Black flames roiled like raging waves in the Third Prince's eyes!

He seemed to have already imagined how painful it would be for the Hell Lotus Daughter, after learning that her father abandoned the Martial Immortal path to protect her and fell into the divine way…

Perhaps everything will return to the beginning, and the Hell Lotus Daughter might, because of this, once again walk the destiny‑predestined path…

The Third Prince thought the current Hell Lotus Daughter was quite good, far better than before.

Perhaps this rising divine tide can bring about change.

Boom—!!!

The terrifying Hell Lotus Fire flared wildly!

Above the heavens, countless anomalies appeared: black lightning interwove, blood‑colored thunder rolled, converging into a torrential crimson rain that poured down!

It was an omen commemorating a fallen deity!

Or perhaps it was due to the resurrection of the terrifying Temple God, the Third Prince!

"Stop him!"

"He's getting frantic!"

"His mindset is shifting; the plan still has a chance, feasible!"

The true form of the Three‑Transform Golden Toad roared, not with surprise but with provocation; even the Hell Lotus Daughter's father could stir the Third Prince's emotions—what about the Hell Lotus Daughter herself?

This shows that using the Hell Lotus Daughter as leverage to threaten the Third Prince is absolutely viable!

The Golden Toad roared, countless Great Dao Divine Patterns surged and intertwined, its terrifying body turning into a mountain, as if divine aura dripped and interwove; a Divine Spear spewed from its mouth, fully activated, radiating brilliant divine light!

The East Sea, North Sea, and West Sea Dragon Kings also let out deafening roars, their dragon cries shaking the heavens; their dragon scales began to crack inch by inch, crystal‑clear dragon blood splashing continuously, as they nearly burned themselves to block the Third Prince!

On the other side.

The Young Dragon Emperor, his expression ice‑cold, continuously wielded the Golden Great Dragon Spear, shattering the South Sea Dragon King's dragon armor and causing rivers of blood, yet the South Sea Dragon King stubbornly refused to retreat, forcing a blockade!

Even at the cost of their lives!

The balance of the situation seemed to start tipping; as Li Che, the Martial Immortal, had to shatter the divine embryo and channel divine essence into himself, the atmosphere grew tense.

One gaze after another converged on Li Che.

Many mortal cultivators' eyes were filled with regret and sighs.

…

…

Rumble—!!!

Divine essence fell like a waterfall, hanging upside down between heaven and earth!

Li Che stood still, streams of divine essence surging from the divine embryo, coiling around his body like a flood‑dragon, as if an extraordinary metamorphosis were occurring.

Across his flesh, thirty‑six thousand pores all emitted divine light; his entire being was undergoing a cataclysmic transformation, a shift of the Dao!

His martial blood was fusing with divine essence; having broken through to the Martial Immortal realm, he was already close to grasping the profound of a Martial Immortal. If an opportunity arose, he could even leap across the mortal‑immortal barrier, step into the Profound Immortal realm, and achieve a profound Martial Immortal!

But now all of this is collapsing!

At this moment Li Che's spirit seemed to fall into a strange state; he could clearly feel his flesh changing, divine essence and immortal qi infiltrating, expanding rapidly, converting his vast blood into divine blood!

It is a transformation from Martial Immortal to Martial God.

Rumble—

Heaven and earth seemed to roar and tremble beside his ears.

By drawing divine essence into his body and converting Martial Immortal power into divine power, Li Che's Martial Immortal blood was of such high quality that each drop contained immense energy; converting it into divine blood nearly multiplied its potency!

Thus, Li Che felt the energy constantly colliding.

The great quality turned into an even greater quantity!

Li Che only felt a divine light flowing out from his core, his eyes radiating brilliant divine brilliance; as the light spread, the glow in his eyes grew ever brighter, as if a sudden clarity opened, and his spirit broadened!

Within his chest, the Dragon‑Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit throbbed wildly, buzzing incessantly.

Faintly, a Dragon‑Elephant phantom emerged, as if emitting a long howl and lament.

However, the Pure Heart Dao Fruit at his brow's Mingwan also quivered violently, countless Pure Heart divine essences surged wildly, spreading throughout Li Che's entire flesh, striving to restrain the changes brought by the divine expansion.

Li Che inhaled deeply, his heart trembling.

His spirit flickered slightly.

In an instant, a stream of light flashed before his eyes.

【Dao Fruit: Pure Heart (lv7, 60%)】

60%……65%……70%……

Increase, increase, increase again!

The Dao Fruit's maturity, before his eyes, rose at an almost nonstop speed, continuously increasing!

That speed made Li Che's hair stand on end; it was too fast!

Li Che never expected that this self‑severing of the martial path, turning a Martial Immortal's flesh into a divine body, could yield such a massive Pure Heart Dao Fruit transformation boost!

Primarily, the divine essences within Li Che…

All of them were being converted by the Pure Heart Dao Fruit into Pure Heart divine essence!

The seven‑orifice exquisite heart vibrated violently, its booming sound like thunder and tide!

"Hoo—"

"Sss—"

Li Che had long known that transforming his body from a Martial Immortal to a Divine Spirit would bring about a massive expansion in the realm of power.

But he never imagined the expansion would be this enormous!

This way of severing his future path comes at the price of losing any connection with the future and with the Mysterious Immortal who masters the profound mysteries of the martial Dao, as well as the Heavenly Immortal who breaks the shackles of Heaven and Earth.

While the price is great, the power gained in return is naturally also immense.

In essence, this world operates on an equal exchange.

Buzz—!!!

In an instant, Li Che felt his blood and flesh turn into a vast ocean of energy, boundless and colossal, with a mighty force continuously extending, as if surpassing Heaven and Earth and transcending all ages!

As divine light swirled, it spread like a tide, pressing across the four corners of the world!

A brilliant buzzing resonated within Golden Light City, and at that moment, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to it!

Behind Li Che, fifteen Divine Embryos shattered, turning into countless fine, crystal-like starlight specks that drifted and swept away.

They all merged into Li Che's flesh, being absorbed by every pore and every orifice.

And everyone only felt an extremely dazzling brilliance erupt before their eyes!

That light... was overwhelmingly radiant, like a vast sun, shattering mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, with no darkness in sight!

Golden, pure flowing gold; even as his Martial Immortal body merged with divinity, golden blood still coursed through him!

In a daze, Li Che seemed to become a Divine Spirit wielding endless light, sitting cross‑legged in the constantly trembling, rupturing void, his radiance like a vast sun—bright, boundless, pure, and sacred!

On his back, seven rare Immortal seeds, crazily infected by divinity, transformed into a tremendously majestic, pristine heart‑spirit!

Li Che even felt his heart‑spirit become exceedingly transparent, as if fully linked with this realm.

He lifted his head proudly, as if he could see through the strange mist with the naked eye, witnessing the crimson heavens above, where great Dao rivers rolled and surged!

His gaze could even pierce the boundless inner void, seeing the great Dao rivers wildly dancing like chains, converging and rushing in one direction!

There, Li Che vaguely saw realms emitting rotating divine light!

Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

It was an endless expanse of Heaven and Earth, split apart like fragmented plates, each bearing terrifying beings seated within, their celestial spirits cloaked in surging divine light, linked to the great Dao rivers!

Connecting Heaven and Earth, seated on the river, overlooking all ages!

Li Che's gaze sharpened to the extreme; he wanted to keep watching, but soon those visions vanished.

His heart‑spirit swiftly fell back, his perception becoming exquisitely delicate, as if countless crystal‑clear particles floated around him, forming his mighty flesh!

His Martial Immortal golden body seemed at this moment to completely transform into a Martial God flesh!

This Martial God is not the Martial God realm of a divine tribulation; it is a Martial Dao Divine Spirit!

A truly towering Divine Spirit of wild godliness standing upon the Martial Dao river!

Whoosh—whoosh……

Countless Great Dao divine patterns interwove!

The Martial Dao river spanned across, infected by divinity, turning into Great Dao divine patterns that pulled down, intertwining around Li Che like wildly dancing chains of order!

Rumble—rumble—!

Golden Light City.

A gale rose, chaotic winds raging!

Li Che sat upright in the void of the city, feeling the divinity within merge with every thin cell and every drop of flesh, undergoing transformation!

Centered on his Golden Light City, it spread infinitely, with a booming sound like ancient temple bells, rumbling outward, resonating throughout the mortal world!

Dàjǐng Eleven Paths, Great Li King Court, Witch God Mountain, Western Realm Buddhist Land, Boundless Four Seas……

Sound waves spread, echoing through the world, shaking Heaven and Earth!

Many cultivators in the mortal world felt their heart‑spirit tremble, sensing a vast divine might expanding wildly. The sky in an instant turned crimson.

Countless blood lights interwove, blood rain poured rapidly, and the whole world seemed to fall into a wail.

…

Western Ridge Path.

Lu Taibai leaned on his sword, and behind him, the sect matriarch sat like a doll; the two raised their heads as crimson rain struck their faces, icy and piercing, evoking mournful sorrow.

Lu Taibai even felt his sword‑hand trembling…

His eyes narrowed.

His complexion turned pale in an instant, lips quivering, his body trembling and slightly shaking.

"The Lament of the Martial Immortal!"

"The will of Heaven and Earth contains sorrow; that is the fall of the Martial Immortal, the great regret of the mortal world!"

No mistake, one song, one release, one internal, one contain, one at, one one look!

Lu Taibai's body was also a bit staggering.

In front of him, the entire city was drenched in blood, a thick scent of gore wafting, yet this smell could not compare to the blood rain sent down by the will of Heaven and Earth.

"Mortal Martial Immortal… only Li Che, the Lament of the Martial Immortal… could Li Che have fallen?" Lu Taibai's complexion turned extremely pale.

How could this happen?

…

It seemed like endless time, yet also like a fleeting instant.

Li Che broke free from the hazy transformation, flinging his eyes open, his will blazing like fire, forging a divine thought!

A powerful Divine Spirit thought surged, covering the four corners; in an instant, the divine thought roamed his whole body, penetrating the eight extraordinary veins, all thirty‑six thousand orifices, achieving the fusion of divinity and flesh!

Divine Spirit!

Li Che felt his current state…

It was no different from a Divine Spirit; moreover, the divinity within his flesh far surpassed the divinity that a God‑Flame Divine Spirit could wield!

That is a change in total quantity!

A wave of hollow satisfaction surged to his heart, filling his whole body, intoxicating him, but Li Che knew this satisfaction was empty and hollow, because he himself is a Martial Immortal, and this is a great boost derived from the Martial Immortal foundation.

But now after the transformation, his future path of Divine Dao cultivation will become extremely difficult, and above the Divine Dao lies immortality like a towering mountain, making every step arduous.

Buzz—!!!

The Great Dao Immortal pattern on Li Che's body began to fade, and then an intensely rich Divine Nature seemed to ignite, golden flame Divine Nature spreading and intertwining, rendering Li Che extremely hazy!

The Divine Nature burned fiercely, his Qi and blood boiled violently, Li Che felt his golden blood becoming more transparent, gradually shedding its gold, turning into interwoven blood‑red strands that expanded like a virus, and finally the blood fully returned to a blood‑red hue, like translucent red agate!

Between the crystal collisions, a few more hints of ethereality and insubstantialness appeared!

"Path of the Martial Immortal..."

"... completely severed."

"From now on, there is no longer Li the Martial Immortal!"

Li Che inhaled deeply; though his heart held some regret, there was not a trace of remorse!

He needed power at this moment, so he exhausted his last card, converting it into his own strength!

For Xixi, to continue upholding the image of a great hero father in his daughter's eyes!

Li Che will make these gods who dare covet his daughter...

Die!

Slay all the gods!

Li Che's entire being was shrouded in burning Divine Nature Qi and blood, pure martial golden Qi and blood transformed into translucent Divine Spirit blood, each drop boiling and colliding!

Li Che spread his five fingers wide, then clenched fiercely, gripping the three‑pointed double‑edged blade in his hand, as if letting out a long howl that tore the heavens!

"Kill!"

Emperor Dàjǐng's eyes hardened, he controlled Lü Litong's body and surged forward with a fierce strike!

His five fingers clenched, he thrust a horizontal punch; the long‑fist mystic art of Ancestor Dàjǐng manifested at this moment, countless fortunes were drawn forth, forming a golden great dragon stretching hundreds of miles!

The golden great dragon that gathered the entire Dàjǐng nation's fortune roared forward, vivid as life, with dragon horns, scales, whiskers, claws, tail...

All seemed carved by the Divine Eagle Sacred Hand with godlike craftsmanship, vivid as life!

It is the great dragon qi of the mortal world!

Divine Light burst from Li Che's eyes; his Martial Immortal golden body transformed into a Divine Spirit form, Divine Nature erupting, and when he looked up, he saw a golden dragon raging and roaring forward.

It seemed intent to shatter Li Che's newly formed Divine Spirit body with mysterious power, killing him on the spot!

The Three‑Transform Golden Toad, an incarnation forged from immortal bloodline, also lunged fiercely, opening its mouth to spew, Divine Light rippling, forming an extremely sharp Divine Spear that shot out, instantly piercing the space!

"A Martial Immortal falling to divinity, even if it devours Divine Nature, what can it achieve? Such a superfluous tactic!"

"A Martial Immortal infecting Divine Nature can indeed alter it into a more surging Divine Nature, but surging… how can it surge beyond a Divine Spirit!"

"If Divine Fire does not burn, you are ultimately not a Divine Spirit!"

From left and right, attacks came!

Emperor Dàjǐng and the clone of the Three‑Transform Golden Toad surged forward aggressively!

Li Che shattered the Divine Embryo, infecting the Martial Immortal body, but it was only a fleeting instant.

Yet they had already sensed the terrifying power continuously expanding within Li Che's body!

With such power, they were unwilling to give Li Che more time to accumulate, even though the threat from a Martial Immortal turning into a Divine Tribulation was greatly reduced...

But eliminating the great threat of Li Che early is, of course, the best!

Although Li Che fell into the Divine Dao, his mortal body remained powerful, and he walks the path of the Martial God!

Moreover, at this moment his Martial Immortal Qi and blood transformed into Divine Nature Qi and blood, exploding and expanding; the total amount is terrifying!

Buzz—!!!

Li Che instantly drew his blade, the three‑pointed double‑edged blade sweeping out boldly.

Heaven trembled, earth shook, a blade shrieked to the extreme, exploding like solid matter, like rolling thunder!

Countless Divine Natures intertwined and swirled, converging into a single slash, a mountain of piled Divine Nature, layers upon layers, finally coalescing within the blade's light!

A slash collided with the Divine Light Spear spewed by the Three‑Transform Golden Toad, producing a crisp "ding"!

Centered on the point of impact, two massive Divine Natures clashed fiercely against each other!

Within a radius of ten, twenty, thirty, up to a hundred zhang, it turned into a black hole, all falling into the inky darkness!

The incarnation of the Three‑Transform Golden Toad's face shifted slightly: "What a magnificent Divine Nature!"

"How can it be so terrifyingly magnificent? Almost infinite, surpassing the total Divine Nature that Divine Fire and Divine Spirits can accumulate! Even a merged Dao Divine Spirit would fear being no greater than this?!"

The incarnation of the Three‑Transform Golden Toad was terrified to the utmost!

Divine Nature, filled with corrosive power, once it gained the upper hand, overwhelmingly suppressed the brilliance atop the Divine Spear.

Clang—

A crisp sound rang; the Divine Nature on the Divine Spear was exhausted, its light dimmed, it flew away, while the blade aura Li Che swung continued to pour into the void, carving a narrow void fissure, fierce and forceful!

On the other side, Li Che clenched his fist, raised his hand, and employed the Ancestor Dragon Killing Technique he learned from the Young Dragon Emperor!

Because this killing technique can be both a Divine Nature secret art and a martial skill!

Countless Divine Natures burst from Li Che's body, his jet‑black, azure‑strong hair wildly swirling, a vivid crimson waterfall hanging inverted behind him.

A blood‑colored Divine Dragon spanned across, both real and terrifying!

Around Li Che, wave after wave of Divine Light flames rose, his eyes bright and spirited, the Divine Light flickering; having just completed the transition from Martial Immortal to Peerless Martial God, countless Divine Natures formed a field of light around him, becoming a massive circle that enveloped him, dazzling!

Making Li Che appear exceedingly holy and powerful!

If Divine Fire had not ignited, Li Che would look just like a true Divine Spirit!

Divine Nature, like a waterfall across his back, stepped horizontally with a punch, the long fist striking straight!

Colliding with Emperor Dàjǐng's fortune golden dragon!

The Ancestor Dragon Killing Technique clashes with the Qi Yun Golden Dragon!

Divine Dragon and Golden Dragon are locked in a deadly duel!

Crack—!!

Where the blows meet, heaven and earth twist and crack open!

At the source of the collision, Li Che's entire body trembles, every massive, dragon‑like tendon swells and quivers, his five fingers clutch the head of the Qi Yun Golden Dragon, actually using his mortal flesh to hard‑hit the celestial Qi Yun force!

Ferocious! Fierce!

This sight is truly shocking!

Su Da, who secures space with eight fox tails, shows a look of horror in her bewitching eyes!

One must know that the Dàjǐng Emperor, who now fully stirs the Dàjǐng nation's fate, is truly comparable to a divine fire spirit…

The Dàjǐng Emperor's will descends onto Lu Litong's mortal body, his face twists in sudden agony, because Li Che's hand clutching the Qi Yun Golden Dragon's head suddenly presses hard.

The Qi Yun Golden Dragon is literally crushed, shattering like a split light sphere, crackling as fragments of light fall!

"A—!!!"

The Dàjǐng Emperor's will within Lu Litong's body suddenly roars in anger.

Li Che's every orifice and pore erupts with divine radiance; his ferociously powerful flesh unleashes terrifying, overwhelming force, and as he thrusts a punch, divinity surges!

Bang bang bang—

With each successive punch, the Qi Yun Golden Dragon is ground to nothing, exploding into countless halos that spread outward.

The Dàjǐng nation's fate is being violently shattered!

After the Qi Yun Golden Dragon fully dissipates, Li Che's divine light soars to the heavens, already striking in front of Lu Litong.

One punch lands, and Lu Litong's flesh explodes in midair!

Blood mist sprays, blown by a raging wind, raising a foul rain of blood, then it vanishes completely.

"Dàjǐng Emperor! You wait…"

"Sooner or later I will settle the score with you."

Li Che's indifferent voice resounds, then another punch flies out, a blood‑colored divinity pierces through, completely erasing the lingering will of the Dàjǐng Emperor!

Countless Qi Yun bursts explode, then scatter swiftly across heaven and earth.

Li Che furrows his brows coldly, his jet‑black, sinewy hair lashes like black lightning.

After shattering the Dàjǐng Emperor's Qi Yun Golden Dragon and eliminating the threat, Li Che does not halt; he steps forward, and a celestial chessboard stretches across the void, as if a star‑filled sky crowns his head.

The constellations shift, flying stars relocate!

In an instant, Li Che appears before the incarnation of the Three‑Transformation Golden Toad.

"Ribbit!"

The Three‑Transformation Golden Toad's incarnation lets out a sudden cry, its golden imperial toad blood seems to boil!

The immortal divine bloodline erupts with immense majesty and awe!

"This is the immortal pressure, unextinguished through a thousand tribulations, eternal for ten thousand ages!"

The Three‑Transformation Golden Toad screeches!

The golden blood reshapes into a humanoid form, grasps a long spear and thrusts forward fiercely!

Li Che's divine qi and blood swirl like mist around his body, as if divine flames are burning within.

The immaculate Heart Dao fruit quivers, its seven exquisite orifices throb.

At this moment, Li Che feels no awe at all.

The three‑pointed, double‑edged blade darts back, he grasps it, and those again transmute into a Qimen divine‑seed martial art display.

With a massive infusion of divinity, its power even surpasses what he could wield in his martial immortal body.

The Three‑Transformation Golden Toad activates its immortal bloodline, strikes forcefully; the divine spear's brilliance shines, accompanied by the resonant great Dao sigils and the great Dao's roar, a hint of immortal might erupts, shaking heaven and earth!

Li Che slashes out with the three‑pointed, double‑edged blade, while his other hand manipulates the sword formula; divine energy surges wildly, forming six‑desire divinity, weaving into a Six‑Desire Anti‑Evil Sword Formation!

The sword light spirals, instantly enveloping the Three‑Transformation Golden Toad's immortal bloodline incarnation!

Puff puff puff—!

The space is instantly sliced into a dense, shattered mesh!

The Three‑Transformation Golden Toad's immortal bloodline incarnation is instantly riddled with wounds; it screams in agony, its murderous intent surging!

"Never having merged with the Dao, yet possessing such overwhelming power and cultivation…"

The immortal bloodline incarnation realizes it has encountered a grave crisis!

If its immortal bloodline fails to respond properly today, it may be erased here, losing any hope of returning to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Li Che advances step by step, his pores exuding divinity, divine light rippling, marching forward with the ferocity of a true divine fire spirit!

Transforming from a martial immortal body to the Dao of divinity, its profound foundation and domineering talent are no less than the immortal bloodline; even a martial immortal turning to the divine Dao rivals the youthful immortal who first entered the divine realm!

One hand wields the double‑edged blade, the other manipulates the Six‑Desire Sword technique!

The golden toad is repeatedly slashed apart, its immortal bloodline spraying endlessly!

Boom—!!

One slash comes down; the golden toad formed from the immortal bloodline instantly explodes, turning into a single droplet of golden blood, like floating crystal, radiating supreme majesty, as if a powerful will revives within.

Li Che shows no hint of leniency!

The vast, immaculate Heart Divine energy surges down, instantly enveloping that exploded golden toad immortal blood droplet!

In an instant, under the erosion and severance of the immaculate Heart divinity, the immortal will is completely eradicated.

Li Che suppresses this droplet of immortal blood onto the celestial chessboard.

Then his dazzling divine‑light eyes whirl, his jet‑black hair flutters, and scarlet blood beneath his meridians roars and flows.

His gaze sweeps and lands on Su Da, who anchors the void with eight fox tails.

Su Da's complexion changed, and with a sharp howl countless white lights shot upward, forming a white fox that slammed into the void, causing rippling circles.

It vanished as if it had plunged into a bottomless lake, its trace gone!

Li Che withdrew his eyes that had been radiating endless divine light; his inner divinity was so overwhelming that with a single step the space shattered, and at extreme speed he crossed the heavens!

In an instant he appeared beside the Young Dragon Emperor, the twin‑bladed swords' forked edges rose sharply, resembling a blood‑red divine dragon lifting its head from a sea of blood!

Ancestral Dragon Killing Technique!

The Young Dragon Emperor, sensing something the moment Li Che appeared, let out a long dragon howl and, with all his might, executed the Ancestral Dragon Killing Technique!

The Golden Great Dragon Spear vibrated ten million times, and a golden great dragon roared out.

It intertwined with the blood‑red long dragon that Li Che raised his head to!

"Ah—!!!"

The South Sea Divine Dragon King's spirit trembled instantly, its dragon body coiling up for hundreds of miles, only to be violently shattered, its whole dragon scales exploding outward, countless rain of blood pouring down like a torrential downpour!

Li Che's towering frame, his dark, vigorous hair wildly fluttering, his eyes glowing with divine light like smoke, held the twin‑bladed swords at an angle, while his other hand manipulated the Six Desires Sword Formula.

Walking within the shadowy wind, strolling beneath the blood rain!

Li Che took another step.

He moved toward Ha Shen, who was locked in mortal combat with the Grand Overseer Zheng.

Li Che's gaze was calm, his murderous aura surging.

"The Prison Lotus Maiden's path of corpse mountain and blood sea..."

"Walk it for her father!"

Boom—

The shattered divine dragon king's celestial dragon blood scattered, forming a vast blood rain, a terrifying sight!

"This person has gone mad with killing!"

Ha Shen's complexion turned pale, and despair gradually rose in his heart.
