Chapter 528: The Nine Gods Detained Cannot Return to the Mortal Realm; Can the Reversed Divinity of Martial Immortal and Dao Coexist

Boom—

The void was collapsing, everything was shattering, the terrifying Heavenly Intent Blade was blocked for a long time by a divine weapon like the bronze cauldron, which rivaled immortal artifacts.

Now, after finally wearing down the willpower of the three immortals, it was completely chopped down, space was slit with enormous cracks, and countless chaotic void energy surged.

Transformed into the Gold Light Prefecture City of the Three Prince's Guiyi Miao Guique, under this Heavenly Intent Blade, half the city was directly cut away, vanishing without trace.

However, as the target vanished, the terrifying pressure of the Heavenly Intent Blade rolled on, yet gradually spread and dissipated, leaving only an oppressive, terrifying aura.

Li Che stood in place, his black robe fluttering, his jet-black, vigorous hair whipping about like black lightning.

The divinity on his body grew ever richer; upon the great dragon along his spine, seven terrifying vortices of divine qi and blood swirled, like eight Yellow Springs vortices churning.

Terrifying and oppressive.

Speaking solely of divinity, Li Che, though he had not ignited divine fire, was already not inferior to any deity.

The entire Gold Light Prefecture City fell silent, only the city severed by the Heavenly Intent Blade remained, facing annihilation, falling into nothingness.

Li Che withdrew his gaze, his whole body filled with an oppressive emotion, churning within his flesh.

This father-daughter separation could be said to go against Li Che's wishes; it was a forced parting, even describable as a heaven-and-man divide.

After all, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can indeed be called the heavens of ascension.

And the mortal world is naturally the human realm.

On Li Che's clenched fist, veins like coiling dragons throbbed, containing terrifying explosive power.

Although he had transformed from a martial immortal into a divine path, the physique strengthened through martial cultivation was indeed real.

Even though now infected with divinity, Li Che still possessed an unmatched body, extremely strong; although martial arts were no longer pure martial, they still belonged to the martial domain, making him a martial deity.

Li Che's inner fury caused the surrounding divinity to dance like a silk ribbon, roaring and exploding, continuously surging.

As the black hole vanished, the immortal will was cut down by the Heavenly Intent Blade, and everything returned to calm.

The supremes pressed to the ground by the terrifying aura, sweat drenched, startled and fearful, lifted their heads and began to survey the battlefield.

But the strong ones vanished without trace, leaving only Li Che standing in place, his aura like an abyss.

From an unparalleled martial immortal, transforming divinity, letting divinity infect his body, falling into deity…… no, the current Li Che can only be considered a supreme, not yet a deity.

However, Li Che's foundation is too rich, that of a martial immortal; upon converting to the divine path, he directly wields supreme power to battle deities!

Unprecedented in ancient times, such an exception, transcending ranks like this, only Li Che can achieve.

Only by transforming a martial immortal into the divine path can this be done.

"It's over……"

The strong ones from the divine factions of the Guique in the mortal world slowly exhaled, murmuring softly.

"Indeed it's over, the deity of the Three Prince's Temple and the Hell Lotus Maiden…… were forced by the will of the three immortal deities descending into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths……"

"That was a banishment; entering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with the Hell Lotus Maiden and the Three Prince's current cultivation, facing the immortals of the three major divine factions there, it's likely more peril than hope!"

"Exactly! In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths versus the mortal world's Guique, they are completely different; immortal deities command the great Dao of heaven and earth, able to display unmatched transcendent cultivation…… they absolutely cannot escape even with wings!"

……

The rustling sound, many venerables and supremes conversing, thoughts colliding and intertwining.

However, gradually, their conversation quieted down.

Because……

That Li Che standing in place moved.

He slowly lifted his head; the repressed light in his eyes swept like a storm, terrifying killing intent nearly solidifying the void.

"Flee!"

Many supremes, without hesitation, madly fled to other places of the Guique; Li Che's killing intent nearly solidified the void.

They had to flee, for the combat power Li Che had previously displayed was too terrifying.

The killing intent surged, towering and rolling, having beheaded the righteous god of the Dark Heaven Court, the Heng and Ha two divine generals, and also slain the Four Sea Dragon Kings……

Overbearing to the extreme; now that Li Che has freed his hands, how could these supremes not be horrified!

Many supremes nearly felt their scalps go numb, executing a blood‑stained escape secret technique, each turning into a stream of light, rushing out of the Gold Light Prefecture City, like blood‑colored rosy clouds, fleeing into the Guique, swallowed by the gradually rising, surging queer mist, leaving no trace.

Li Che indifferently glanced at those fleeing supremes, having no interest to act.

His body flickered.

The next moment, he appeared on the ground, his foot stomping down hard, the ground bricks instantly dented, like spider‑web cracks spreading.

Bang——!!!

One kick like a whip, the air was directly pulled and exploded; the toe was like a divine spear, filled with terrifying power.

"Pfft——!!!"

On the ground, a graceful figure had just risen when Li Che's kick, swift as lightning, struck it; arms crossed, they instantly burst open, turning into mire‑like blood.

Su Dasha's figure shot out like a cannonball, instantly plowing terrifying cracks into the ground, intertwined ferociously.

Li Che's eyes were cold, his black hair intertwined like lightning, his stature tall and sturdy, his bronze‑toned skin flashing with healthy yet surging luster, his aura fierce; having restored the divine path, he remains peerless in martial arts.

Veins throbbed, he roared angrily, like an ancient god‑demon's fur exploding, falling into a rage posture, killing intent sky‑high!

Su Dasha spat blood; behind her, the ignited divine flame flickered upward.

That lotus lamp's light dimmed, drifting back, lifted by a wildly dancing white tail, hovering before her.

"Li Martial Immortal…… no, Li Martial Deity……"

Su Dasha narrowed her fox‑like eyes, on her beautiful maiden face showing a hint of a smile.

"Please listen to me……"

However.

Her pupils quickly narrowed.

Bang——!!!

Li Che wouldn't hear her speak again; the anger at parting with his daughter was fully vented at this moment.

He himself also needed to vent!

His five fingers clenched into a fist, seeming like a mountain pressing forward horizontally; Su Dá's expression turned grim, and the fox tail behind her lashed down fiercely.

Her state at this moment was extremely weak; her divine fire had previously been entirely used to ignite the lotus lamp, arousing the immortal will within this immortal artifact to deal with the Prison Lotus Maiden……

Therefore, she is now in a state of extreme weakness.

Su Dá never expected the immortal will within the lotus lamp to be completely cut off, causing severe damage to her divine fire.

However, it had not been completely eradicated.

«Li Che! Don't force me! »

Su Dá growled lowly.

Her voice sounded a bit strained; Li Che was too strong, and in her weakened state she might not even be his match now.

Li Che was utterly cold, venting his anger, and simply wouldn't listen to Su Dá's words.

Seven divine vitality blood vortices on his spine rotated, unleashing a powerful thrusting force; terrifying power surged like a raging tide.

It seemed as if his flesh were burning, bursting forth with hundreds of millions of rays of light, as if to burn jade and stone together!

Around his fist coiled terrifying divinity; the primal immortal markings were stained by divinity, turning into ancient divine patterns, as if emitting a terrifying sound in harmony with the heavenly Dao.

Divine light vast and boundless, universally illuminating!

«Pfft! »

Su Dá was struck again, coughing up fresh blood; her lovely body was almost shattered.

The fox tail behind her exploded from the fist blast, flying sideways, soaked in blood, becoming utterly miserable, a sight to pity.

Su Dá's hairs stood on end, sensing Li Che's killing intent!

She had now fully ignited her divine fire, becoming a true deity, yet Li Che showed not the slightest reverence toward a deity.

Indeed, the number of divine fire deities slain by Li Che's hand already reached several, even including descendants of the immortal bloodline of the Three‑Transformation Golden Toad……

How could Li Che possibly show mercy toward her!

Su Dá spat blood from her mouth, her willow‑like waist swaying; her divine fire burned, and she forcibly burned her own divine fire.

Boom——!!

The lotus lamp, its divine light extinguished by the boss's stew pot blow, seemed to revive, bursting forth with brilliant radiance!

Immortal aura surged forth in waves from this immortal artifact……

«Li Che, since you seek death, I shall grant it! »

«Now that the Prison Lotus Maiden has entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, she is surely doomed; the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are the main battlefield of our divine factions, with the Dark Heavenly Court, Black Sumeru, the Deceptive Demon Cavern, and many ancient clans all having immortal guardians who will not let the Prison Lotus Maiden live! »

«In that case, the sooner you die, the sooner you can go to hell to await your daughter! »

Su Dá wiped the alluring blood from the corner of her mouth and gave a cold snort.

The divine fire burned, she exerted all her strength, feeling as if everything had been drained from her.

But that lotus lamp seemed to have fully recovered; although no true immortal will descended again, being an immortal artifact, its pressure rolled out in waves.

It seemed to turn into an ocean of divinity, rosy light intertwining; Su Dá sat cross‑legged in place, the lotus lamp above her head rotating.

In an instant, a swaying azure lotus seemed to sway, taking root in the ocean of divinity, and behind Su Dá a colossal nine‑tailed divine fox appeared, opening its mouth to roar angrily.

Its nine tails danced wildly, continually lashing the void like divine spears, intertwining dense heavenly‑Dao divine patterns, wrapping chains that clanged and rang, like heavenly swords unleashed all at once!

In a mere moment, it spread to envelop the heavens and lunged to kill Li Che!

The immortal aura pressed down and smashed, shattering the void, overwhelmingly oppressive, seeking to pierce Li Che and slay him utterly!

Li Che's eyes flashed with icy sharpness; his five fingers clenched into a fist, the Seven Apertures Marvelous Heart in his mind beating, completely overturning the immortal pressure weighing down from the immortal artifact.

The Immaculate Heart's divinity turned into silken ribbons that swirled wildly around him; he thrust his fist forward, facing the light cast down by the immortal artifact's lotus lamp, overbearing and peerless, he met it head‑on with a resounding boom.

The immortal artifact is indeed powerful, but the power Su Dá can now wield through it, in the mortal realm's strange void, is at most that of a divine‑fire deity.

Moreover, Su Dá, whose divine fire is damaged, finds it even harder to fully unleash the artifact's power.

Glorious rosy light, bursting radiance, intertwined heavenly‑Dao divine patterns, binding chains of order—constantly winding, line after line, pattern after pattern, dazzling to behold!

The two divine‑fire deities in the mortal realm's strange void have already become peak‑level existences!

«Clang——!! »

A sound of extraordinarily splendid clang.

All the light seemed to transform into a single blade of light cutting forth.

Li Che gripped a three‑pointed, double‑edged blade with one hand, his terrifying muscles bulging, bursting forth with unimaginable power as he fiercely cleaved!

The blade's light arced, as if it could split a mountain!

Despair flickered in Su Dá's eyes.

This Li Che……

He has not even ignited his divine fire, he is not even a deity……

How can he be this strong?!

The withering blade of light instantly cut down the domain projected by the lotus lamp, severed the nine wildly dancing fox tails, shattered the heavenly‑Dao divine patterns, and amidst the clangs, brilliance fell like rain.

Pfft——

The three‑pointed, double‑edged blade flashed with light, its overbearing, peerless slash tore through Su Dá's prideful lotus‑lamp defense, pierced her abdomen, and ran straight through her willow‑slender body.

Blood kept dripping, Su Dá's face turned deathly pale.

«Martial God Li! Hear me out……»

«Spare my life, I am of great use! I am the reincarnation of the Qingqiu Divine Fox; before my rebirth, I was the Slaying‑Dao deity of the Qingqiu clan in the Deceptive Demon Cavern of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths! »

«I know the situation in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths perfectly! When you enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the future, you will need a guide—I can help you! »

Su Dá was utterly powerless, lifted by Li Che's double‑edged blade, blood scattering like falling petals.

She did not want to annihilate this reincarnated body, so she hurriedly shouted, displaying her own value.

However, her heart quickly sank to the bottom of the valley.

This Li Che is just a madman!

In his eyes, only killing intent!

"You are dead, I can still know."

Suddenly.

Indifferent words, issuing from Li Che's mouth, clanged and boomed, echoing in Su Da's ears.

Ah?

In the next moment, Li Che clenched his five fingers, as if myriad strands of terrifying force erupted, shattering Su Da's flesh inch by inch, tearing it apart, flesh withering, turning into red powder skeleton.

Su Da's divine spirit surged skyward, transforming into an immense nine-tailed white fox, howling across the Nine Heavens, roaring without cease!

Now that only the divine spirit remains, it is easier to deal with; Li Che spread his five fingers, purple flames intertwining, distorting the void, burning everything.

It is precisely the primal dragon-elephant blaze, a power derived from the Dao fruit, not extinguished by the martial immortal's transformation into the divine path.

A flick of the finger.

The purple flames transformed into a divine dragon and a demonic elephant, spanning the Nine Heavens, battling that white fox, actually melting and slaying the white fox!

Li Che's black hair shone glossy and flew, his eyes cold, like two killing stars inlaid.

Boom—

The city of Jin Guang Prefecture trembled incessantly.

The ground cracked, as if a temple carved of white jade burst forth from within, seeking to be reestablished within the Guiyi Miao.

Within the white jade temple, there is a white jade-carved nine-tailed white fox divine eagle, standing horizontally upon it.

When the divine spirit perishes, the body transforms into the Guiyi Miao, awaiting rebirth in the next divine tide.

Li Che indifferently swept his gaze, fingers spread.

He indeed did not care about Su Da's death; although his heart was surprised by Su Da's preceding strength, it had actually reached the Severing Dao realm.

Divine fire, merging Dao, severing Dao, nirvana—the four realms of divine spirits, each with a great gap.

Like in the mortal world's Guiyi Miao, the strongest combat power that can erupt is only at the divine fire level.

Only in places like the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, where the heavenly mandate is lax, can higher-level divine spirit power erupt.

Severing Dao already belongs to the third realm of divine spirits.

Nevertheless, surprise aside, Li Che still did not hesitate to deal a lethal blow.

What the living refuse to say, the dead will speak for you!

"Summon the deity."

Li Che uttered icy words.

Instantly, the entire Guiyi Miao exploded apart, a mass of light drawn out by Li Che from the white jade Guiyi Miao, accompanied by the howling of a nine-tailed divine fox, ringing in the ears, exploding, rumbling without cease.

Finally, it was suppressed by Li Che within the Heaven-Earth chessboard.

Now, within the Heaven-Earth chessboard, four masses of light are suppressed: the Heng Ha Two Gods' divine generals, the Three Transformations Golden Toad, and Su Da's divine light mass.

Li Che has not yet freed his hands to study the function of these divine pattern light masses; these light masses seem to be condensed great Dao divine pattern light masses after stripping the essence of those divine spirits.

Gathered are these divine spirits' insights into the Great Dao.

Having dealt with Su Da, the whole heaven and earth seemed to quiet down; far away, those who had released their perceptions to gaze upon the myriad supremes and venerables, etc., were already scared witless.

Blood rain drifted down from heaven and earth, that is the omen of divine spirits falling; as if the great Dao divine pattern transformed into a dragon and phoenix intertwined, seemingly singing a heaven-and-earth lament, mourning the death of the divine spirits.

The entire Jin Guang Prefecture was instantly emptied; the supremes and venerables of the Guiyi Miao divine factions fled in panic, employing their bottom‑box tactics, not sparing origin damage, just to escape.

Otherwise, the outcome would be like Su Da's.

Li Che's mighty divine spirit surged; although he had not ignited divine fire, his divine cultivation, due to the martial immortal's transformation into the divine path, instantly rose to the perfected level of Three Tribulations Supreme, belonging to half‑step divine spirit.

Heart and spirit condensed into divine spirit; a single thought can span hundreds of miles, with an extremely wide shielding range.

Heaven and earth were desolate; violent winds raged and howled, loose stones blown and tumbled.

Li Che raised his head, his black hair swaying askew in the wind.

Separated from his daughter, Li Che indeed felt his heart hollow, as if a large chunk had been scooped out.

Putting it in his previous life, that would be like his daughter going abroad; wanting to meet again is absolutely not easy.

If Li Che cannot find the path to ascend the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, perhaps this lifetime he will be forever separated from his daughter, heaven and man apart.

Although letting Xixi enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths early is the sole way to break the situation, Li Che still feels quite lost in his heart.

"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths..." Li Che's pupils refocused, the killing intent on his body gradually gathering and subsiding.

He exhaled a breath, the breath like a galloping thunder.

Now, Li Che must go to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths—not only because of the Qitian who once slaughtered his way into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but also because of Xixi, his daughter!

Thump thump thump thump—

In his chest, the Dao fruit throbbed.

Actually, the Dao fruit has been throbbing for a long time; the Immaculate Heart Dao fruit has transformed to level lv8, its aid to Li Che is immense.

And the throbbing Dao fruit is not merely the Immaculate Heart Dao fruit.

From the martial immortal's transformation into the divine path, the Dragon-Elephant Diamond Dao fruit also throbs.

Li Che's heart stirred slightly.

Before his eyes, instantly there appeared condensing mist like agarwood, flowing, gathering, intertwining into prompt text.

!

【Name: Li Che】

【Bond: Li Nuanxi (daughter)】

【Progress: School-age (8 years old)】

【Dao Fruit: Immortal Artisan (lv7, 40%), Dragon-Elephant Vajra (lv8, 15%), Immaculate Mind (lv8, 0%), Chess Saint (lv7, 40%), Painting Immortal (lv7, 10%), Thunder-Magnetic Orbital (lv7, 0%), Dream Heavenly Master (lv4, 15%), Myriad Demons Emperor (lv7, 0%), Spacetime Golden Wheel (lv2, 50%)】

……

The maturity of the myriad Dao Fruits appeared one by one before his eyes.

Among them, the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit that had broken through to lv8 after this divine war also gained a notable increase in maturity.

Next, the Chess Saint Dao Fruit also increased significantly, perhaps due to suppressing the four rounds of divine spirit light orbs, raising its maturity to 40%.

Also, the Myriad Demons Emperor Dao Fruit, although it has not seen any maturity increase, the demonic aura from the corpses of the two evil demon cavern spirits, the Three Transformations Golden Toad and Su Da, has yet to be absorbed by him.

There should still be another considerable increase.

Overall, Li Che's strength has actually achieved a comprehensive increase!

This is the benefit of battle; whether it's experience or gains in strength, they are quite gratifying.

Walking amid the wreckage, Li Che's divinity surged.

Besides the gains in Dao Fruit, these corpses of dead divine spirits are also a treasure for Li Che.

Hum—

Immortal light flowed, space ruptured.

The Superintendent was enveloped in wispy immortal aura, riding a black tortoise, slowly approaching.

His eyes, looking at Li Che with great complexity.

"Superintendent."

Li Che looked toward the Superintendent, clasped his fist in salute, and thanked him for his intervention today.

Being able to intervene in a war directly facing divine spirits, Li Che naturally felt grateful in his heart.

For cultivators of the mortal world, each divine spirit in the forbidden realm is an invincible existence.

"Xixi's identity is special; there's nothing to be done—she is the daughter of the Prison Lotus, under the gaze of the Heaven and Earth's will, and also involved in the great worldly change of the surging divine tide… being widely watched is simply normal."

The Superintendent said softly.

"Now that Xixi has entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, she is temporarily shielded from the gaze of the Heaven and Earth's will, which can be considered temporarily safe…"

"However, you also must not be too impulsive… the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are ultimately the dwelling place of the gods, unlike the forbidden realm of the mortal world."

Li Che nodded; he naturally would not be too impulsive.

"Calm down properly; you should now need to sort things out. I will not disturb you for now. When you have calmed down, come to the headquarters of the Imperial Observatory to find me. If you have any doubts, just come ask me. Of course… if you are able to come."

The Superintendent patted Li Che on the shoulder.

"As for your current condition… you should sort it out well. Having transformed from a Martial Immortal to a Divine Path, whether you can return to the mortal world is still uncertain."

Afterward, he rode away on the black tortoise; the black tortoise gave Li Che a complex look, shook its head, lowed, shattered space, and lifted the Superintendent, enveloping him in wispy immortal aura, before disappearing.

Li Che watched the Superintendent depart, letting out a long breath.

Yet his heart sank slightly.

His brows furrowed, and his face instantly grew solemn.

That's right…

He now faces a huge problem.

He transformed from a Martial Immortal into divinity; his divine strength now rivals that of a supreme being, and with the igniting of divine spirit fire…

Within the mortal world's forbidden realm, he can still act freely.

But…

Wanting to return to the mortal world may prove difficult.

He is no longer a Martial Immortal, no longer blessed by Heaven and Earth; having walked the Divine Path, he will face rejection by the Heaven and Earth's will!

"So… the mortal world… can I not return?"

Li Che's face twitched.

"However, it's not that there's no way…"

Hummm—

The flesh and blood at his brow split open, and the Heaven-Earth Chessboard rose with a humming sound, suspending high in the sky.

It blocks powerful beings' probing, while also counter-scanning to see if any powerful beings still covet him.

If there are, Li Che doesn't mind letting the various factions spill some blood.

Li Che stepped forward, beginning to walk through Golden Light Prefecture City, gathering together the flesh and blood of many dead divine spirits.

The Heng and Ha Divine Generals, the Three Transformations Golden Toad, the Pagoda-Holding Arhat, Su Da, the Four Seas Dragon King…

Altogether, the flesh and blood of nine divine spirit corpses were all collected by Li Che and thrown onto the ground.

Except for the flesh and blood of the Third Prince Lu Lietong, which Li Che easily blew apart.

With Su Da's help, the emperor used the bloodline of the Third Prince Lu Lietong to communicate and summon the will, and also mobilized the national fortune of Dàjǐng, fully utilizing the country's fortune to obtain combat power of divine fire level.

Yet this power was still shattered by Li Che's single punch; in short, the national fortune of Dàjǐng has now completely collapsed.

"Emperor…"

"This grudge is settled."

Li Che's eyes were icy cold.

In this battle, divine spirits bled, but Li Che was not satisfied; his chest was filled with wrath, for the intervention of the immortal divine spirit's will forced his daughter Xixi to be compelled to leave the mortal world, leave her parents, and step into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Although Xixi has entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with the boss and the dog smash helping, danger should not arise.

But that's not necessarily the case.

Because in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there are immortals presiding, immortal divine spirits looming high above, each capable of posing a tremendous threat to Xixi.

Although there is the help of Qitian, the Third Prince, the boss, and Gouzha.

But, there is no guarantee that one will not fall into danger.

"For Xixi, for my daughter, for the family reunion…… I should also strive to find the way to ascend to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"

Li Che's eyes flickered, cold and merciless.

Moreover, it's not just about finding the way to ascend to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; one must also possess sufficient formidable cultivation, enriching one's trump cards to a sufficient degree of strength.

Upon reaching the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, reuniting with my daughter, I can continue to be her strongest support and bulwark!

Otherwise, ascending to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and fleeing together with my daughter……

Then it would be meaningless.

Li Che also does not want to flee anymore; today's grievance, Li Che has firmly remembered, and will someday repay the many immortal deities of the gods' camp.

With five fingers spread, between heaven and earth, there seems to be a resonant metallic sound echoing.

The spirit-summoned apparition of the Young Dragon Emperor stands silently beside Li Che, and also the ancient Yin Xuan that has swallowed the three transformations of the Golden Toad poison mist, having died an unknown number of times, its whole body now glowing with green light, also standing silently beside Li Che.

"Spirit-summoned."

"Soul, return!"

Even if a deity is completely dead, its soul returning to heaven and earth, Li Che can also retrieve their souls from the netherworld and bring them back!

Whooo—

The gloomy wind constantly howls, icy to the extreme, as if it wants to freeze a person's soul.

Nine venerable deities!

Spirit-summoned!

A low, deep voice, like that of an ancient tribe's great priest on the wilderness, leaping and summoning souls, with resonant metallic sounds echoing endlessly, and the heavy door friction sounds deafening!

Clatter—clatter—

Accompanied by the sound of icy-cold chains grating, making the scalp tingle, one black chain after another intertwines in a frenzied dance; these chains, as Li Che now sees, clearly reveal the Daoist divine patterns condensed upon them.

Clatter—

The sound of rushing water echoes, the Yellow Spring surges, the River of Death rages!

Li Che summons the Dao vessel and gallops upon the River of Death.

Guiding one spirit-summoned deity after another back.

Deities, bow to me!

Nine venerable deities, all bow to me!

Buzz—buzz—buzz—

Moments later.

Nine figures, slowly twisting and rising from the shattered flesh and blood, the intertwined Daoist divine pattern chains dancing frenziedly, the void seeming to ripple, everything being distorted, giving rise to waves.

The myriad deities all opened their eyes, after the initial bewilderment in their gaze, they regained clarity.

For a moment, their hearts trembled incessantly.

"Greetings, my lord!"

The nine venerable deities, without any hesitation, all chose to clasp their fists.

Adding the Young Dragon Emperor, Li Che now commands ten deities of the Divine Fire Realm under his banner!

Boom—boom—boom—

Streams of divine flame erupt, warping the void, the Daoist divine patterns piling up to form a divine platform, supporting the swaying divine flames, utterly splendid!

Li Che's jet-black, vigorous hair flies about, the ink robe embroidered with golden lotus patterns on his person also shimmering with light, his hands clasped behind his back, his expression cold as he gazes upon the myriad deities.

These powers……

Not enough.

Perhaps it is sufficient in the mortal world, but to assault the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, facing the Deceitful Void Gods' camp, it is utterly inadequate.

The Dark Heavenly Court, the Deceitful Demon Lair, and the Black Sumeru—just these three major gods' camps, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, besides the immortals, there are also many powerful forces of Dao-merging and Dao-severing stationed!

Gazing at the spirit-summoned deities of various ranks, Li Che's eyes reveal a hint of cold severity.

The spirit-summoned deities lowered their heads, knowing that at this moment their lord's heart must be filled with surging anger.

Su Dasha's figure is alluring, her expression at this moment stunned and complex.

She has been revived, resurrected by Li Che; it turns out…… Li Che actually wields such power.

And the very being that was trying to kill her a moment ago has now become her lord……

All one can say is that worldly affairs are impermanent.

She is greatly startled, for her devotion to Li Che at this moment actually surpasses that of the immortal deities!

What has Li Che done to Him?!

Li Che…… what on earth is he?!

"Su Dasha."

Suddenly, Li Che spoke.

Su Dasha instantly startled, her gaze unconsciously turning toward him.

"My lord." She quickly averted her gaze, speaking respectfully.

"In my current state, if I wish to return to the mortal realm, do you have a way?"

Li Che inquired.

Su Dasha has been able to conceal her deity cultivation until now, always hiding beside the emperor; Li Che feels she might have a method.

Su Dasha blinked in surprise.

The next moment she respectfully said: "My lord is no longer a martial immortal; his divine nature is immense, not inferior to deities…… If one wishes to walk in the mortal realm, one must rely on the power of the mortal world's qi fortune…… and the required qi fortune is extraordinarily immense."

The power of qi luck?

Li Che pondered, no wonder Su Da would appear beside the emperor; it turned out she was relying on the power of qi luck.

"I understand."

Li Che nodded.

Su Da wanted to say something, but it got stuck in her throat……

My lord, you're not going to ask?

How does one obtain the power of qi luck? You don't need Su Da to tell you, do you?

Su Da felt stifled, wanting to perform well in front of Li Che.

Her eyes flickered.

By borrowing the power of qi luck, Li Che can certainly do it, and it's not difficult; he has stored quite a bit at Xie Yunshen's.

However……

He still has another path.

Li Che's heart stirred slightly.

【Eight Nine Mysterious Technique: Martial Immortal Golden Body (80%)】

Huh?

Li Che glanced, his eyes slightly brightened.

The progress of the Martial Immortal Golden Body remained stuck at 80%; the prompt continued to shine, causing Li Che's subdued heart to actually flicker slightly at this moment.

This means his Martial Immortal path has not been severed.

Because the foundation of his Martial Immortal Golden Body still exists!

Li Che's eyes brightened slightly, thinking of his conversation with the Master of the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit……

He flung his five fingers open.

Does this mean he can still reverse his divinity and return to being a Martial Immortal?

Or perhaps…… allow the Martial Immortal and the Divine Path to coexist?!
