Chapter 525: The daughter's hero, though heroic, is not long‑lived; the immortal crosses realms, the white‑clad black dog strikes out
The icy wind, piercing and cold, filled the air with a lingering, thick bloody scent; crystal-clear beads of blood clinked together like blood jade.
Shattered flesh and scattered bones filled the air with a desolate, deadly melody.
Shocking to behold!
The South Sea Dragon King, a divine spirit with an immensely strong mortal body, was actually hammered to death in midair, its flesh shattered and scattered across the ground!
The bloody wind and rain were bewildering.
Li Che, this mortal martial immortal, after transforming into the Divine Dao, his divinity surged, seeming to grow stronger, his killing intent more intense and terrifying!
He shattered the Dàjǐng emperor's fortune golden dragon, beheaded the immortal bloodline incarnation of the Three Transformations Golden Toad, frightened away the reviving divine spirit of the Strange Demon Lair, the Azure Hill Divine Fox, and finally joined forces with the Young Dragon Emperor to blast apart a divine dragon king!
He truly went mad with slaughter!
Too crazy!
The situation basically underwent a heaven‑earth‑shaking change because of Li Che alone!
And now, Li Che walks through the bloody wind and rain, step by step, as if the space he treads ripples outward in expanding circles.
Such a scene, the impact is overwhelmingly intense!
Ha Shen broke out in a cold sweat behind him, soaking his clothes; the bloody wind swirled around Li Che like falling petals in profuse, fluttering dance, bearing a strange beauty, yet within that beauty lay a terrifying sense of slaughter and death.
Li Che's aura was too terrifying; the immense divinity made the spirits present shudder in fear!
Can the blood and qi of a martial immortal actually transform into divinity and expand this manyfold?
Impossible!
Ha Shen understood in his heart that Li Che, this martial immortal, was somehow special; even among martial immortals he was a special existence, his foundation too solid, his martial immortal blood and qi pushed to the utmost strength!
Hummm—
The Grand Supervisor sat cross‑legged on the Black Tortoise's back, his face veiled by wispy immortal aura, his eyes shining like stars, he let out a sigh.
He seemed to have the qi of heaven and earth coiled around him; in the mortal world he would be peerless, but within the Strange Void, the worldly heaven‑and‑earth will he could mobilize was limited.
At best he could only match a spirit.
Watching Li Che walk out of the bloody wind and rain, the Grand Supervisor felt a dazed haze; perhaps… the fate of the Prison Lotus Maiden had never been changed, only this lifetime someone bore her fate for her, shouldering the slaughter!
Boom——!!!
Li Che's gaze locked onto Ha Shen; Heng Shen had already been slain, and now this Ha Shen too ought to be on his way.
All gods must die.
Clenching his five fingers, his eyes blazed instantly, his body shot forward; in an instant he became a streak of light, his speed exceeding what the eye could follow!
Ha Shen's hairs stood on end!
Because, what he had to face was not merely Li Che alone.
There was also the Grand Supervisor, and the Young Dragon Emperor who had freed his hands……
Three spirit‑level powers attacked him at once; he feared he would be blown apart!
Ha Shen was shocked and angry; the situation…… how did it suddenly become like this?!
Can a mere mortal truly turn the heavens and earth?
This time, adding Su Da and the Dàjǐng emperor, there were actually a full ten spirit‑level forces!
In the early stage when the divine tide first rose, ten spirits…… what a terrifying lineup!
Within the Strange Void, they could almost sweep aside everything!
Yet such a lineup…… was it actually going to fail?
Ha Shen knew he might not be able to escape; he had to give it his all!
His cheeks puffed out violently, divine patterns of the Great Dao intertwined all over his body, like whipping chains of order dancing wildly; above his head, the ignited divine fire blazed fiercely, reflecting a great dao river!
"Ha——!!!!"
He opened his mouth; a violent air surge burst forth from his mouth with overwhelming tyranny.
This was Ha Shen's all‑out Dao secret art!
It almost ignited his divinity, pushing the divine fire to the extreme; the divine pedestal bearing the fire could barely bear it, as if cracks were about to appear.
Boom——!!!
The terrifying airflow exploded outward, the shockwave striking the void as if a massive cannonball had struck it, violent undulations, vast and billowing!
Li Che's eyes were like iron, divine light interwoven and brilliant; he clenched his five fingers into a fist and slammed it down hard!
There was no air blast or sound wave, only pure, immense divinity!
It gathered into a scarlet great furnace; countless divinity blazed within the furnace, then fiercely overturned and collapsed downward.
And behind Li Che, countless divinity swelled, forming a colossal demon‑ape posture, reaching heights of a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand zhang!
A ten‑thousand‑zhang demon ape, Heaven‑Earth Embodiment!
Thud——!!!
The entire Golden Light Prefecture City trembled violently at that moment.
Li Che's Heaven‑Earth Embodiment divine secret technique, at this moment pushed to the extreme, combined with the flesh of a Peerless Martial God, was like mountains tilting and collapsing!
Ha Shen's Dao secret art, a terrifying "Ha" sound, seemed to explode outward, utterly silenced, leaving not a trace of sound!
The rolling sound waves were shattered by overwhelming tyranny; the terrifying force crushed down hard onto Ha Shen's body.
Countless houses collapsed and exploded; sand and dirt surged up like a flood; Ha Shen's body, like a string of cannonballs, cracked with the sound of grinding bone, burst sideways, blasting the ground into a huge ruin, dust rolling, divine blood evaporating into a blood‑red mist that spread everywhere.
Li Che floated within the immense Heaven‑Earth Embodiment, like an absolute demon ape, he raised his head and let out a long roar, shaking the vast heavens!
Boom——
Countless shards of stone exploded!
Ha Shen let out a long howl, divine light shining, he shot up from the ruins, a few steps, his silver armor clanking, as if he wanted to shatter the void and flee!
Countless divine patterns of the Great Dao intertwined around him, forming a great net that spread toward Li Che, seeking to block him for a moment!
Ha Shen's heart was shaken beyond measure; the power Li Che unleashed at this moment had not reached the Fusion Dao level, but… the amount of divinity was too great!
Moreover, the divinity was extremely pure and of high quality; after the collision, the mere suppression of pure divinity left him a bit at a loss, giving a feeling of confronting the celestial pride of an immortal primordial bloodline!
Can't beat it!
Still, this is what Li Che deserves!
Because Li Che paid a huge price, severing his future path of Martial Immortal and stepping onto the Divine Dao path…
And on the Divine Dao path, Li Che could never reach the pinnacle!
Unless it's someone like Qi Tian or the Third Prince, who are already at the immortal level, otherwise one cannot, through later effort, walk the Divine Dao to attain immortality…
That's absolutely impossible, because each immortal is like a mountain blocking Li Che's head!
Ha Shen no longer wishes to fight Li Che.
Because his whole body is stained with scarlet blood, reddening the surrounding void as well!
In the distance…
The one suppressing the Third Prince's Three-Transform Golden Toad and the Three Sea Divine Dragon King also cannot help but show a drastic change in expression.
The plan… without a doubt is about to fail!
The Three-Transform Golden Toad takes human form, its complexion extremely grim; the immortal bloodline incarnation was cut off by Li Che, still dealing a considerable backlash to him!
"You… are finished!"
The Third Prince stands within the black fire lotus, letting out a sneering cold laugh!
And within the laugh, there is pure coldness, no emotion at all, filled with icy chill!
Boom——!!
The Three Sea Divine Dragon King's dragon scales burst apart, dragon blood hazy, flinging backward, corroded by black flames, flesh charred, the smell of burnt flesh spreading endlessly!
Roar——!!
The Divine Dragon King roars!
Their eyes are scarlet; the South Sea Divine Dragon King's death greatly agitates them, and they realize that this siege on the Third Prince, aiming to rekindle his divine fire, the notion of being cut down by Heaven's axe, may be completely shattered!
The Three-Transform Golden Toad's complexion is extremely grim.
He trembles inside, the plan failed… he may also start considering retreat; although he yearns to enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he now cherishes his life more, unwilling to sacrifice his own life here.
Suddenly…
The Three-Transform Golden Toad's eyes flash, and his heart moves slightly.
A faint transmission echoes at his ear.
It's that old fox!
His gaze coldly scans the void, searching for the fleeing Qingqiu Divine Fox.
Given his knowledge of that old fox, since it chose to appear in Jinguang Fu City, it must have a method, some preparation; it could not have come without any preparation.
At this moment, the transmission at his ear makes the Three-Transform Golden Toad clench his teeth.
Should he trust that old fox?!
Rumble——!!
A terrifying blast roar rang out, blood mist soaring to the heavens!
Ha Shen's whole body is drenched in blood, continuously spewing blood into the void, his bones shattered, flesh exploding!
A ten‑thousand‑foot massive demon ape roars, its gigantic fist descending like a mountain; Li Che's divinity at this moment is truly overwhelming and vast, conjuring ten‑thousand‑foot demon ape laws of heaven and earth, yet it shows no strain at all!
This divine secret technique, at this moment, displayed tremendous power!
Bang——!!
Ha Shen, the true god spirit of the Dark Heavenly Court, sees his divine fire dim, his silver armor shattered completely, flesh blasted, erupting a mist of blood!
Mighty divine thoughts surge, Ha Shen roars and howls.
He, in desperate fury, wishes to become the Guiyi Miao, fall into slumber, and when the next divine tide rises, revive and become a temple deity!
However, just like the previous encounter with the humming god, he is seized by Li Che's five fingers, directly summoned with a pure‑hearted divine technique, calling forth a divine spirit thought, suppressing it into the Heaven‑Earth Chessboard.
Ha Shen also falls!
Between heaven and earth, blood colors swirl, blood rain drifts!
The tragic scene is overwhelmingly fierce, striking one's heart and mind!
"Drag your mother's skin! Dead fox!"
The Three-Transform Golden Toad's dead‑fish eyes bulge suddenly, with a "croak" it leaps up, spouting brilliant divine light from its mouth, stabbing into the void, shattering space, intending to dash away!
The dead fox makes him delay, and he goes to delay?
The spirits of the Strange Demon Cave have not yet such deep trust among each other!
Li Che exterminated Ha Shen, then slew another deity; divine light rolls in his eyes, his divinity ascends again, murderous intent surges, giving a feeling of being intoxicated by killing!
Today, all these deities threatening his daughter must die!
Boom——!!
Li Che strides forward, a ten‑thousand‑foot demon ape roars, his long arm suddenly swings and strikes toward the Three-Transform Golden Toad that leapt into the void!
The one who jumps most joyfully is you, the toad, still want to run away?!
Li Che's murderous intent surges, his jet‑black hair seems to coil around his divinity, tinged with a hint of frantic crimson.
His five fingers clench into a fist, pressing a seal and striking; in an instant, countless divine qi and blood surge out, forming an enormous blood‑colored qilin!
Qilin shakes the void seal!
The once immortal‑seed martial arts—now Li Che may not be a Martial Immortal, but driven by divinity, the power he unleashes is equally impressive!
The divine qilin spans across, like a mythic beast leaping forth, suddenly kicking down!
The void is trampled and shattered by the qilin; the Three-Transform Golden Toad roars, its swollen body colliding with the qilin!
This Three Transformations Golden Toad lives up to being an immortal descendant; its combat power is indeed somewhat stronger than Ha Shen's.
The Divine Kirin was sent flying; Li Che gripped the three-pointed double-edged blade and unleashed the divine-infused immortal arts once more!
Within the Mystic Gate immortal seeds, vortices swirled as divine qi and blood surged wildly.
A thousand mountains lay across, like a stacked labyrinth shaking!
Then, the thousand mountains collapsed, transforming into an extremely splendid blade-light slash!
The Three Transformations Toad roared, assuming its true toad form, splitting into three silhouettes, and stubbornly resisted Li Che's Thousand Mountains Lone Walk Void-Slashing Blade!
Although Li Che is no longer a Martial Immortal, aside from the dissipated immortal aura rendering him unable to activate it, the power of the Primordial Dao Tribulation still merges within these divine martial arts.
The Three Transformations Toad felt utterly stifled; this Li Che is as troublesome as the Third Prince!
It's outrageous that such a person could be born in the mortal world!
Even if one transmutes a Martial Immortal's body into divine cultivation, reaching this level seems impossible, right?
The Three Transformations Toad's heart had already sunk to the valley's bottom.
Because he knows that without his obstruction, the Three-Headed Dragon King plus the seven-layer golden pagoda activated by the life-sacrificing Pagoda-bearing Arhat might not be able to suppress the Third Prince.
Indeed……
When the Three Transformations Toad turned its head to look……
He then saw the Third Prince, his whole body entwined with black flames, riding on the East Sea Dragon King's neck, tearing off a piece of dragon meat as if savoring the finest pastry, stuffing it into his mouth.
He seemed to feel the gaze of the Three Transformations Golden Toad.
The Third Prince bared his blood-stained teeth in a grin that sent chills down the spine!
Boom——!!!
The Heaven-Earth Magic Ape threw a punch; the Three Transformations Golden Toad immediately staggered back, the Great Dao divine markings trembled wildly, and the divine fire flickered uncertainly, as if about to extinguish!
"Dead fox! I've been struggling to stall! Hurry up and attack!"
The Three Transformations Golden Toad gritted its teeth, its divine sense striking the void.
He really had been struggling to stall……
Passive stalling is still stalling!
On the other side……
The Third Prince had completely turned the tide!
Because, under Li Che's will, the Young Dragon Emperor swiftly surged forth to aid the Third Prince in slaying the dragon!
The Third Prince stared wide-eyed, astonished at the Young Dragon Emperor who came to his aid, his mind filled with disbelief and amazement……
"You actually came to help this young master?"
"Originally, I spared your life so that in this revival I could feast on your flesh and blood to strengthen my recovery; as an immortal's primordial bloodline, you carry the ancestral dragon's first blood, so I will surely recover swiftly!"
The Third Prince muttered.
The Young Dragon Emperor's face darkened; you think he wanted to help?
If Li Che weren't his lord, he wouldn't have to obey the lord's command……
He would never come to aid the Third Prince, even if beaten to death!
"Hmph!"
The Young Dragon Emperor let out a cold snort, coiled his golden great dragon spear, unleashed the Ancestral Dragon Slaughter Technique, explosively ripping the void with overwhelming might, and struck toward the West Sea Dragon King!
The Three-Headed Dragon King had already been exerting all its strength to block the Third Prince; now it was truly spent, the energy exchanged from its burned dragon blood beginning to dwindle……
Furthermore, the Young Dragon Emperor's ancestral dragon blood aura suppressed them, leaving them utterly unable to retaliate.
Pfft!
A colossal dragon head, accompanied by a mournful cry, gazed upon the Young Dragon Emperor with sorrow, despair, and disbelief!
"Young Dragon Emperor……"
The West Sea Dragon King uttered a desperate wail, the dragon fell in the wild, and its blood sprayed continuously.
The Young Dragon Emperor's eyes were cold and unfeeling……
He was no longer the Young Dragon Emperor of the ancestral dragon clan, but…… the foremost fierce general under his lord's command!
The North Sea and East Sea Dragon Kings likewise could not hold out; amid their wails, they were slain by the Third Prince and the Young Dragon Emperor!
The Third Prince absorbed the dragon kings' blood, and powerful energy fed his divine form!
His aura rose steadily, continually growing stronger!
"It's been so long… since I've fought such a satisfying revival battle!"
The Third Prince stretched lazily, his immense divine might shaking heaven and earth, as if making the entire mortal realm tremble!
He swung a palm, and the divine treasure pagoda activated by the life‑sacrificing Pagoda‑bearing Arhat instantly dimmed its Buddha light, exploded, and shattered into fragments!
The Three Transformations Toad, suppressed by Li Che's Heaven‑Earth Manifestation, bled continuously; seeing the three dragon kings fall and the pagoda shattered, it fell into utter despair!
"Stinking fox! Why don't you attack already? What are you waiting for? Isn't this delay enough?!"
The Three Transformations Golden Toad kept bleeding, its hair flying wildly as it raised its head and let out a long howl!
What?!
The words of the Three Transformations Golden Toad made Li Che's eyes narrow slightly; the heaven‑earth chessboard unfurled sharply, seeking the whereabouts of Su Da.
I had thought Su Da had fled, but now it seems the other party has not given up!
Su Da excels in spatial arts, and Li Che finds it hard to seize her; thus he planned to first deal with the present spirits, never expecting this fox to still be scheming malice!
However……
After the Three Transformations Golden Toad finished shouting, the entire Golden Light Prefecture City was utterly tranquil, with no change at all.
Li Che's eyes cold, the Third Prince tilted his head, the Young Dragon Emperor gripped his golden great dragon spear, the Grand Supervisor sat upright on the black tortoise's back, all staring fixedly at the situation……
The Three Transformations Golden Toad raised its head, maintaining its long howl, its face now drenched in cold sweat.
No movement!
That damned fox… really was deceiving him, really was selling him!
He must have said that fox can't be trusted, right?!
This fox's greatest skill is deceiving people!
The Three-Transform Golden Toad was filled with boundless grief and fury, utterly desperate; his gaze swept across and saw Li Che standing within the law of heaven and image of earth, saw the Third Prince tilting his head, kneading his fists and chewing dragon meat, and saw the Young Dragon Emperor with a straight spine swinging a great dragon spear…
It was surrounded!
Boom—!!!
A terrifying offensive blast roared down!
In an instant, the Three-Transform Golden Toad was engulfed!
The Three-Transform Golden Toad's flesh was brutally shattered; even though it coursed with the Immortal Emperor Toad's bloodline, it was powerless to reverse fate!
After all, whether Li Che, the Third Prince, or the Young Dragon Emperor, none were at all weaker than its Emperor Toad bloodline!
The Three-Transform Golden Toad was blown apart, countless flesh and blood flew and splattered, suffused with the aura of the Great Dao divine pattern.
Amid the countless shattered flesh, the immortal bloodline seemed to writhe and pulse out; with a roar, divinity surged wildly, and a Guiyi Miao sprang up from nowhere, rising from the ground!
Within that Guiyi Miao, a Golden Toad Temple God spanned across.
Li Che's gaze swept, intending to employ the Pure Heart to summon a deity, to summon the Three-Transform Golden Toad, to utterly kill it, causing the Guiyi Miao to shatter, unable to be reborn for a second life.
Li Che also discovered that, under the current circumstances, summoning a deity seemed not to attract the gaze of the terrifying entity.
Perhaps they had just transformed into temple gods, and had not yet established a link with the heavenly and earthly will within the strange void.
Li Che's method of summoning a deity was purely exploiting a loophole.
Divine spirits fall, can become temple gods, living a second life.
Yet Li Che possessed the means to kill a temple god!
However—
Just as Li Che was about to summon a deity, a strange and mysterious chant echoed through the void, like an ancient divine incantation; as it sang, bizarre ripples surged!
"Ah—!!!"
A droplet of golden blood, brimming with terrifying pressure, floated within the Three-Transform Golden Toad's Guiyi Miao.
"Damned fox!!!!"
The Three-Transform Golden Toad, just having fallen into a dormant divine thought, instantly revived and let out a roar of wrath and despair!
The next moment—
The Guiyi Miao began to collapse, utterly crumbling; the Three-Transform Golden Toad's divine thought also vanished, the Divine Eagle shattered, and the entire area where the Guiyi Miao stood turned into a black hole!
Li Che, who was preparing to perform the summoning, immediately abandoned the action.
His expression became unprecedentedly solemn!
"This is..."
The Young Dragon Emperor gripped the golden great dragon spear horizontally, his face solemn and horrified.
"What a ruthless Qingqiu Divine Fox; it turns out she was scheming against the Three-Transform Golden Toad, making it stall, which was actually sending it to its death!"
"After the Three-Transform Golden Toad dies, using an ancient forbidden art, it will shatter the Guiyi Miao, and with the immortal bloodline… summon immortality!"
Not a single error, a verse, a release, an interior, a container, a presence, a look!
The Young Dragon Emperor, well‑versed and knowledgeable, described the current situation.
"After the black hole... it may connect the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"
"Only the Qingqiu Divine Fox can wield such spatial forbidden art!"
The Young Dragon Emperor said in a deep voice.
The Third Prince, surrounded by black flames sweeping his body, squinted: "It's not a possibility; after this black hole, it is indeed linking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"
"Young master has already smelled the scent of immortality..."
Li Che's heart suddenly grew heavy.
Immortality?
Could it be that an immortal deity truly intends to cross realms?!
The will of heaven and earth would not permit it, right?
Even an immortal deity cannot descend from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to the mortal world, even to the mortal realm's strange void!
The Third Prince's eyes narrowed slightly, the black lotus divine pattern at his brow suddenly ignited, his toes pressed down, and his form leapt up; the black prison‑lotus wind‑fire golden light wheel clanged and spun violently, countless sparks erupted.
Propelling his body, he appeared before the massive black hole.
A terrifying and majestic divine might surged suddenly from the black hole, even accompanied by the sound of rushing water.
Water flow?
Li Che was startled; where is that water!
It is a river!
The Great Dao's long river!
Whoosh—whoosh…
It seemed as if a long river were to extend from the other side of the black hole; perhaps the black hole briefly formed by the Guiyi Miao's collapse, combined with that droplet of evaporated immortal Emperor Toad blood, caused the black hole to contain a kind of heavenly‑earthly rule, briefly capable of bearing the descent of immortal will!
Because the location of this Third Prince's Guiyi Miao differs from that of the Qitian Temple; the Qitian Temple originally lay beyond the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so an immortal deity could decisively cross obstacles to act, though its power was greatly reduced and the immortal itself had to pay a price, yet it could still intervene.
But this Third Prince's Guiyi Miao is far from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; for an immortal to act, it is far from easy.
Now, however, this stringent condition has been fulfilled!
Because the Three-Transform Golden Toad's Guiyi Miao collapsed, the immortal deity's bloodline evaporated, fulfilling this stringent condition!
Buzz—buzz—buzz—
After the black hole, vaguely, a towering figure seemed to walk over wrapped in starlight; the black hole's darkness was shattered, countless starlight shone and scattered, like a dream, like an illusion.
An overwhelming pressure that covered heaven and earth descended through the black hole, pressing on people so that some could not breathe.
Merely the leaking aura seemed to provoke the will of heaven and earth of the mortal world into undergoing an earth-shaking upheaval.
Immortal!
Li Che's hairs stood on end, the unease in his heart seemed to reach the extreme; in his chest, each beating dao fruit fell silent at this moment.
A powerful gaze, as if substance, shot out from that black hole; wherever it swept, the void seemed unable to bear the weight, on the verge of twisting and collapsing.
So powerful!
Like an incarnation of the will of heaven and earth, fundamentally unbeatable!
The Third Prince's black flames, though suppressed, kept swaying; yet he crossed his arms, coldly lifting his chin, behind him six arms danced wildly, grasping various divine weapons, his momentum towering, black flames rolling.
Even facing the Immortal directly, he never showed the slightest retreat or fear.
"Nezha, the Third Prince..."
A low voice echoed from within the black hole.
"Hell Lotus Maiden... this divine tide's Hell Lotus Maiden... there's a problem!"
That voice, like electronic synthesis, was exceedingly ethereal and transcendent, as if coming from beyond the heavens, yet also seeming to reverberate and explode beside the ear.
"What problem could there be? Hell Lotus Maiden... must necessarily bear great hatred and deep grudges, must slaughter the entire mortal world, burn blood to exhaustion, be covered in carnage, only then will you be satisfied."
The Third Prince said coldly, killing intent towering, fighting spirit surging.
Facing an Immortal, he showed not the slightest retreat.
His eyes burned bright, as if a huge black fire lotus entwined around his body.
He stared at the figure within the black hole; although the black hole pierced both realms, the Third Prince knew that Immortal was difficult to descend.
"Immortal Emperor Toad, you old toad! If I were at my peak, would you dare to jump about in front of me?"
The Third Prince said disdainfully.
"Having survived so many divine tides, I, this seat, can endure; only those who survive are victors... Third Prince, what meaning do your words have? No matter where you come from, you are already fallen temple gods, spirits that have died once; if not for the will of heaven and earth maintaining balance, not letting you perish completely, you would have long vanished between heaven and earth, and you have no right to speak thus before me."
The voice was light, without waves, without ripples.
"One divine tide after another follows the predetermined fate; there should be no mishap, no deviation; otherwise, the final course of the divine tide, no one knows."
The Immortal Emperor Toad stood at the other end of the black hole, countless stars shining and entwining around him.
He spoke in a deep voice, his profound gaze sweeping past the Third Prince.
It fell upon Xixi, who was striving for divine fetus transformation and resisting the Hell Lotus Curse.
Li Che's heart jolted, his divine energy surging like a waterfall hanging upside down; he took a step forward, blocking before the Immortal's eyes, his five fingers clutching a three-pointed double-edged blade, held horizontally before him.
The Immortal's gaze, though just a gaze, seemed to have boundless heavy substance, as if heavier than mountains!
Boom——!!!
Li Che's surrounding divine energy burst forth, the pressure like a thousand-jin mountain range, making his bones and tendons emit a rapid-fire cannonball-like cracking sound.
"Old toad, what are you pretending?! If you have the ability, then strike! I'll play with you properly!"
The Third Prince waved his fire-tip spear, instantly fire dragons intertwined, cutting off the Immortal's gaze.
"Hell Lotus Maiden... indeed not right, this one so small, bloodlust, grudges, and fury are too few; such a Hell Lotus Maiden, how could she bear the title of Heaven and Earth Executioner? She even resists the power of the Hell Lotus Curse, does not endure its power—how could she grow strong? How could she become mighty by devouring the power of bloodlust, grudges, and fury?"
The Immortal Emperor Toad's voice carried coldness.
"The appointed fate, the predetermined destiny—no one can alter it; the heavens operate by their own rules! Hell Lotus Maiden... how could she escape this rule?"
Boom——!!!
Countless rule-forces spread out from the black hole.
The Great Dao divine patterns rang out—thousands? tens of thousands?
Dense and countless, like the human meridians, they formed a figure.
The figure was filled with towering divine energy, its form indistinct, merely a motion, as if the sun and moon resonated together, trembling slightly.
As if a great star, after the black hole, constantly trembled, emitting resonance.
"Heh, indeed they dare not cross the line, only daring to condense a divine essence clone."
"Trash!"
The Third Prince rolled his fire-tip spear, behind him eight arms danced wildly, stepping on the Hell Lotus Wind Fire Gold Light Wheel, he forcefully killed his way over.
He battled together with the Immortal's newly condensed clone.
Their power clearly surpassed the level of Divine Fire Spirits, exceeding the limit that the mundane world's strange void could bear!
This caused the entire mundane world's strange void to tremble constantly, countless strange vapors boiling and surging!
At the clash, one after another huge crack intertwined and ravaged, like a black flood dragon!
Hummm——
Suddenly.
Li Che's expression suddenly changed drastically!
He suddenly looked in a direction; there, countless fragments of golden pagodas shot upward, their surfaces interwoven with divine patterns, then brilliant Buddha light burst forth!
That pagoda actually reassembled into a Buddhist bell, the bell hovering in midair, accompanied by a resonant Buddha tone, a 'dong' vibration, countless sound waves spreading out!
Behind the Buddhist bell, the void exploded, likewise forming a huge black hole!
"What?!"
Li Che's eyes narrowed, a heavy pressure surged forth from that Buddhist bell!
On the back of the black tortoise, the Grand Supervisor's eyes showed solemnity: "This is... an Immortal artifact!"
"Inside the seven-layer golden pagoda used by the Heavenly Tower Arhat, an Immortal artifact was actually hidden! Deliberately shattered, at this moment it is offered, using the Immortal artifact to shatter the void, forging a passage for the Immortal's will to descend!"
The Grand Supervisor spoke in a deep voice, explaining the situation at this time!
Dang dang dang dang dang——!!!
The Buddhist resonance deep and lingering, shaking!
The Grand Overseer exhaled a breath, his wispy immortal aura somewhat unstable, as if about to snap.
"Never imagined…… the force of the Guīquè Gods' Camp, their emphasis on the Girl of the Prison Lotus far exceeds before; actually an Immortal would not hesitate to pay a price, descending with will!"
"Is it because this time the divine tide's Girl of the Prison Lotus has shown a change unlike before? Immortals do not need these changes unlike before, for different changes mean unpredictable shifts, possibly leading to unforeseen mishaps!"
"Immortals act to correct this change, to bring the Girl of the Prison Lotus back onto the proper path!"
The Grand Overseer's voice was very heavy.
And the black tortoise beneath him had long been trembling.
Hum——!!!
The Buddhist resonance vast, spreading like waves.
Yet seen, within the black hole behind the Buddhist bell, countless Buddhist lights shot up to the heavens, slowly actually forming a pair of cicada-pattern golden pupils!
This is……
Golden Cicada?!
Li Che's pupils constricted, involuntarily recalling the monk who had bewitched Ji Moli to slaughter a city back then.
This cicada pattern is almost identical to that monk's; back then that monk even appeared in person, conversed with Li Che, leaving a name, called Golden Cicada!
However……
Li Che didn't even have time to think further!
Li Che's heart shuddered violently, a torrent of rage erupting and exploding!
He turned his head toward the direction where Xixi was sitting cross-legged!
The heaven-and-earth chessboard plunged into the void; faintly, a white fox madly dancing with nine tails was seen, its four paws waving chaotically in the void, darting toward Xixi!
"Courting death!"
Li Che clenched his five fingers, Flying Thunder Shift!
The Flying Thunder chess piece left beside Xixi instantly triggered, Li Che completing the shift in an instant.
He had already appeared beside Xixi.
Majestic divinity poured down like a waterfall, surging heavenward, as if a blood pillar shot from the crown of the head, piercing the firmament, bursting forth boundless divine light!
And that white fox rose to its feet, taking the form of Su Da, its narrow eyes narrowing as it stared at Li Che, giving a bewitching smile.
"Li Wuxian, oh no, you are no longer a Martial Immortal…… I must say, your role as a father is truly moving, truly admirable!"
"To have your daughter achieve this, I never expected!"
"What a great father!"
"In your daughter's heart, you are surely a great hero."
Su Da's voice carried a hint of alluring charm and temptation, this being the unique bewitching power of that fox demon.
"Too bad…… you cannot stop it, heroes do not live long."
"The more you alter the destined fate of the Girl of the Prison Lotus, the more you push your daughter into danger, for Immortals do not allow such a situation to exist."
"Immortals have lived through long ages; they are not accustomed to anything beyond their expectations appearing."
Su Da chuckled lightly.
The next moment.
Su Da turned her palm over, the delicate white flesh of her palm splitting open, from which a bronze lotus lamp spat out.
She personally plucked the swaying divine fire burning behind her, the divine fire falling into the lotus lamp, which instantly blazed brightly!
Li Che only felt an boundless oppression suddenly descend!
Immortal artifact!
This bronze lotus lamp brandished by Su Da is surely also an immortal artifact; Li Che already felt the rolling immortal pressure emanating from it!
The lotus lamp hovered in the void; instantly space ruptured, as if the lamp illuminated darkness, a massive black hole swirling behind it, hovering above Li Che and his daughter!
Within the black hole, a graceful figure entwined with immortal aura, as if spanning the void, its eyes deep, starlight intertwining like a dreamlike illusion!
Immortal!
Another immortal!
Who is it?!
Li Che's divine power ran to the extreme, he roared a long howl, stubbornly resisting the immortal pressure!
In his chest, the Pure Heart Dao Fruit burst and jumped, as if countless white lights clung to his eyes.
Helping Li Che withstand the immortal pressure erupting from that bronze lotus lamp!
Boom——!!!
A deafening roar echoed beside his ears!
Everything between heaven and earth fell silent, the so-called immortal pressure seemingly blocked, pressure not bearing on him, consciousness ethereal, as if rushing into the clouds, constellations shifting!
