Chapter 547: Forbidden Breakthrough: Celestial Thunder Dragon Cuts the Living Path, Divine Fire Ignites
Boom—!!!
The whole snow mountain, its great snow melting, the snow that had frozen the grassland for ages, collapsed at this moment.
The terrifying avalanche roared down, sliding from the summit, swallowing all the buildings on Witch‑God Mountain, while the melting snow turned into a torrent that poured through the avalanche, like a silver‑river waterfall cascading straight down!
Such a scene is truly overwhelming in its impact.
At the mountain peak, Li Che sits cross‑legged, his jet‑black, indigo‑stiff hair wildly flailing, his eyes bursting with an ultimate brilliant golden light.
He spreads his arms wide, as if drawing forth the will of Heaven and Earth.
At this moment, Li Che begins to formally assault the realm of the Profound Immortal, having prepared a great deal for this instant.
Human Immortal's ultimate shedding, Perfect Mysterious Gate, Eight Immortal Patterns, Heaven‑Earth Qi circulation…
Li Che has almost perfected everything he can, all in preparation to assault the Profound Immortal.
Li Che pays close attention and great importance to the transition from Martial‑Path Human Immortal to Martial‑Path Profound Immortal; he knows clearly that the path of the Martial Immortal is the key to breaking the deadlock.
The Divine Path can serve as a means to bewilder the immortal, allowing the immortal of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to temporarily set aside prejudice and focus, diverting their gaze from him and granting him sufficient time to develop.
However, Li Che also knows that once he reveals himself advancing to a new level on the Martial Immortal path, adopting an entirely new stance to challenge the authority of the immortal and break its seal, he will likely become an immediate thorn in the side of the immortal deities, a target to be erased at once.
Therefore, Li Che places great importance on this Profound Immortal breakthrough!
Moreover, only by breaking through to become a Profound Immortal does Li Che have the confidence and means to step into Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, reunite with his daughter, and become her foundation!
Indeed, merely becoming a Profound Immortal is far insufficient.
Nevertheless, Li Che is not in a hurry; becoming stronger is a process, not an instant feat. To become his daughter's pillar, Li Che will strive to grow stronger!
Boom—
The holy body as the platform, the Dao bone as firewood, the karmic flame as the blaze, igniting the Martial Immortal's divine platform!
This is the path Li Che has paved!
Seated desolately atop the snow mountain, after seven days of brewing, the momentum finally begins!
Li Che stands on the summit, scorching heat radiating from his flesh, his whole being seeming to become a dazzling sun, releasing endless radiant brilliance!
Li Che no longer maintains the Divine Path state, but directly returns to the Martial Immortal state.
Going with the flow is divine; going against it is immortal!
Reversing Qi and blood, born to be immortal!
Li Che's muscles and bones resonate, his deep red blood gradually turning into a brilliant golden hue, each drop heavy enough to crush the void and shatter a mountain!
His jet‑black, indigo‑stiff hair wildly flutters, unabashedly soaring; the aura on Li Che's body climbs step by step, eight Great Dao immortal patterns interweave upon his flesh, further strengthening his unparalleled holy body.
It seems as if a fiery Dao platform has been directly stacked.
His spine appears to become a colossal dragon soaring from the abyss, resonant clangs echoing, eight Qi‑blood vortices bursting with golden light, constantly spiraling, raging together to weave a powerful airflow.
Li Che stands on the summit, displaying the ultimate aura of a Human Immortal!
Whoosh—
Between Heaven and Earth, a sound like rattling chains reverberates; Li Che lifts his head, as if seeing countless chains hanging from above Nine Heavens, each forged from the will of Heaven and Earth—not from Dao patterns, but from a higher‑level force.
They intertwine into a prison cage, aiming to seal and imprison Li Che entirely, cutting off all will of Heaven and Earth, as if shielding the Dao.
Whoosh.
The chains descend, as if a supreme being leans over the sky, letting three thousand azure strands fall, wildly swirling.
Those chains forged from Heaven‑Earth will seem to gain consciousness, slithering like swimming snakes, darting at high speed.
Space itself appears to be sliced open, cracking apart.
A dense mass of chains instantly darts toward Li Che, like countless divine spears, their tips sharp and thrusting.
They resemble three thousand Dao‑law chains piercing the void, interwoven with Dao's traces, engraved with Heaven‑Earth will; each glints with a different brilliance, the color of the Dao!
Three thousand azure strands become three thousand Dao chains, like divine spears piercing the void; Li Che stands on the summit, unable to evade. It is a higher‑level lock; Li Che can only meet it, for this is the inevitable path to assault the Profound Immortal!
His mortal body's cavity trembles; the three thousand Dao chains precisely pierce Li Che's holy body, stabbing into the myriad dense acupoints throughout his form.
It is as if the cage of Heaven‑Earth will has descended because Li Che seeks to assault a higher realm of the martial path!
It is the will of Heaven and Earth, a punishment for a mortal holy body that seeks to defy the heavens!
Huff—
In the distance.
A hundred li away.
The Grand Overseer gasps a cold breath; the mysterious turtle beneath him retracts its limbs and head into its shell, revealing only a faint glimmer of eyes, trembling with shock.
Lu Taibai, Xuan Qisha, Gu Qianchi and others were already dumbfounded, eyes wide and tongues tied, unable to believe it.
What is this scene?
Heaven and Earth's retribution?!
The densely packed Dao chains forged from Heaven‑Earth will, each seeming capable of piercing deities and erasing them.
At this very moment, they all pierce Li Che's mortal body, as if pinning him to the summit of the snow mountain.
Such a sight is truly overwhelming in its impact!
Looking closely, they seem to see a terrifying true dragon ensnared by chains, locked in a cage, completely immobilized on the summit.
"This is... this is the punishment of Heaven‑Earth's will! The celestial cage!"
The Grand Overseer's white robe flutters, his fists hidden in his sleeves continually clenching.
Li Che, what exactly does he intend to do?
Boom—!!!
No one knows what Li Che intends, not even Xie Yunshen, the God‑Keeper, can comprehend his purpose.
All that is known is that the lord's matter at this moment is of great importance!
Heaven and Earth fall into solemn silence, a tremendous majesty sweeping and spreading.
Li Che stands at the summit of the snow mountain, like a captive prisoner, chains sprouting from behind his outstretched arms, linking to the heavens.
Whirr—whirr—, the chains sway, hazily tracing a path of shadows.
Li Che suddenly lifts his head, his spine emitting an immensely strong clanging of gold and iron, as he breaks the chains, intent on shattering the three thousand Great Dao cage!
Within his chest, Dao fruits begin to erupt with extreme, fierce pulsations.
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao fruit roars; this Dao fruit, at lv8 rank, inflates like a balloon, becoming enormously huge, its thundering pulse striking like thunder in the ears!
It seems to merge with Li Che at this moment, resisting, unyielding, breaking free from the cage!
There are also Pure Heart Dao fruits and Chess Saint Dao fruits, each at lv8 rank, still reflecting a Dao boat, galloping across.
They whirl constantly around Li Che, aiming to smash the chains!
All over Li Che's body, eight interwoven Great Dao immortal patterns begin to flash, as if turning into a flowing, profoundly mysterious chaotic Dao pattern, filled with mystery, like the breath of the primordial void suffusing the air!
Although Li Che has not yet gathered enough distant entanglements, he already possesses a hint of primordial void breath.
Whirr—whirr—…
The chains tighten continuously; Li Che stands at the snow‑mountain summit, raises his head and lets out a long howl, his body suddenly leans forward, and in an instant, the three thousand chains snap taut!
A creaking sound resounds without end.
It seems that at this moment Li Che is grappling with the heavens; the sky drops three thousand Great Dao chains, and Li Che, with his own strength, pulls the three thousand chains, trying to snap them, trying to drag down the celestial being that watches from above!
Heaven and earth's oppressive pressure rolls down, forming a hollow field that clears all surrounding airflow!
Only the spot where Li Che stands remains, becoming the focal point of heaven and earth!
Li Che's jet‑black, sinewy hair whirls, every inch of his flesh etched with Great Dao immortal patterns, these patterns come alive, gaining consciousness and writhing.
Li Che's eyes harden, a low roar erupts, like a mighty warrior pulling up a mountain!
His muscles swell, golden blood oozes from his skin, dazzling bright as a vast sun and stars!
A great dragon on his spine struggles; eight blood‑qi vortices spin rapidly, the immortal qi within them rises, seeming to form immortal armor that covers Li Che's shoulders, chest, arms, and legs…
Thus, at this moment Li Che appears as a war god opposing heaven and earth!
"Slash!"
Li Che lifts his head, his eyes ringing bright!
"Slash through the cage!"
Buzz—buzz—buzz—
A Dao pattern on Li Che's body shines to the extreme, as if boiling and burning, then a massive blade aura shoots skyward; it is an immortal seed martial art, the Lone Mountain Sky‑Cutting Blade!
It seems that a series of continuous mountains manifest as strange phenomena above Li Che's head, and then these mountains, as if compressed to inches, are all slashed apart!
Amid the exploding shattered mountain mass, a blade light sweeps across, cutting heaven and destroying earth!
The Great Dao chains sway, struck by the radiant blood‑qi emanating from Li Che's body, yet that is not enough.
Li Che spreads his five fingers wide; divine swords burst from his fingertips, forming six sweeping sword lights!
The void is cleaved open, sword aura flows, like a azure dragon!
Six Desires Void Sword Technique!
Slash!
Li Che thrusts both palms outward; within each palm, an ancient seal manifested by heaven and earth's will rotates!
His palms clash!
The third gate is razor‑sharp, displaying a celestial martial display that shatters all!
Heaven‑Earth Nine Seal Blade!
Slash!
Slash slash slash slash!
The three thousand Great Dao chains, embedded in Li Che's spine, pierce his flesh, struck by the razor‑sharp force.
They erupt countless flickering sparks, golden blood exploding, spewing from Li Che's body; Li Che roars, his body turns, grabs the chains in large handfuls, and yanks hard!
The three thousand chains break in response!
Then countless fragments of broken Great Dao chains burst into the void, like comet tails, drawing brilliant star trails!
The cage shatters!
Li Che only feels a surge of exhilaration and freedom!
It is as if the immortal qi dormant in his spine begins to expand and revive, as if it has finally been replenished!
Immortal qi surges out, flowing through the marrow, permeating the five organs and six hollows, wandering the meridians, abundant beneath the skin!
Li Che feels as if his whole being is about to explode!
Thump—thump—thump—
The mysterious immortal will leaps from the star‑plucking pupil broken at his brow, becoming extremely active, as if the will linking heaven and earth awakens.
The great dragon on his spine, the eight extraordinary gates, the swirling blood‑qi vortices, seem filled with countless immortal qi; golden blood‑qi merges with immortal qi!
This is a sign of the mysterious awakening, and Li Che also feels unprecedented pain, as if his whole body has become a tinder ready to ignite!
Li Che stands on the snow‑mountain summit, his eyes flashing golden light.
He knows that the next step is crucial!
Ignite!
Fire is the symbol of life!
Like at the beginning of heaven and earth, the appearance of flame brought forth the continuation and evolution of life.
Therefore, whether the path of the martial immortal or the divine path, none can escape this process of fire!
The divine path, to achieve divinity, requires burning divine fire on the divine altar, a kind of qualitative change and transcendence!
And the path of the martial immortal likewise requires fire!
It's only that how to ignite it is the problem!
And Li Che gathers the cosmic Qi and fate, his purpose being this moment, this step!
Enduring the pain of his whole blood and expanding immortal Qi merging, if he cannot bear it, the mortal body cannot sustain it and will explode outright, finally turning to ash.
Becoming what is called transcendence.
Transcendence does not necessarily lead to becoming an immortal; it may well be a state of death!
With a flick of his finger, a black chess piece shot out, instantly turning into black smoke, twisting in midair, and abruptly forming the shape of the Great Witch God cloaked in a black robe.
"You know what to do now, don't you?"
Golden blood streamed down Li Che's cheek, adding a few touches of ferocity and coldness.
And the towering, god‑king‑like ferocity.
The Great Witch God immediately clasped his fists in salute, his expression solemn and austere.
He finally understood what Li Che had meant by dying many times before!
"I... understand!"
"Then begin! Judge my sins, ignite the Karmic Flame!"
His voice rang metallic, reverberating on the mountaintop!
In the next instant, the Great Witch God did not hesitate to transform into a Heavenly Wolf, invoking the will of Heaven and Earth to judge Li Che, deeming him sinful and heretical!
Boom——!!!
A blazing golden flame surged along the chains that Li Che had severed, which danced wildly between Heaven and Earth, curling upward!
The Heavenly Wolf formed by the Great Witch God roared to the extreme, completely consuming itself, invoking the will of Heaven and Earth, deeming Li Che a heretic, and summoning the Karmic Flame!
Those wildly dancing chains, etched all over with the Great Dao, were now burnt scarlet by the Karmic Flame; even the Will of the Great Dao could not escape its scorching.
The flames spread continuously like maggots on a heel bone.
"Not enough!"
Li Che let out a long howl!
Bang——!!!
The Heavenly Wolf formed by the Great Witch God exploded, then a black mist reappeared; the Great Witch God gasped heavily, re‑solidified, let out a long howl, and under Li Che's command transformed again into a Heavenly Wolf, invoking the severed will of Heaven and Earth to continue raining down the supreme Karmic Flame!
Boom——!!!
The Karmic Flame flared wildly, burning continuously toward the wildly dancing chains, spilling into the eight immortal Qi vortices that the great dragon on Li Che's back had opened.
Immortal Qi... was like pure oxygen; upon meeting flame, it instantly ignited with extreme vigor!
The second Karmic Flame fell into the second mysterious gate Qi vortex!
The Great Witch God exploded again!
Within the Sumeru expanse it re‑condensed, transformed again into a Heavenly Wolf, howling across the nine heavens, judging heresy and sin, and ushering the Karmic Flame down to the mortal realm!
Death reborn, death reborn again...
Across eight consecutive times, the Great Witch God's eyes grew hazy, doubting what the very existence of its bound spirit truly was, and began pondering the meaning of the universe's birth and destruction.
His mind was utterly chaotic.
Yet the eight ignitions of Karmic Flame successively set alight all eight mysterious gate vortices displayed on Li Che's mortal back!
An extremely terrifying pressure instantly seeped into his mortal body; Li Che only felt his bones emit a brittle sound like shattered crystal!
Upon his mortal flesh, Great Dao immortal patterns interwove, as if stacking the body into an immortal platform, while eight masses of burning Karmic Flame incinerated everything.
Mortal body, sinews, Great Dao, immortal Qi, soul...
Everything was being burned, to the utmost, burning everything!
But amid this conflagration, the will of Heaven and Earth seemed to merge with Li Che's mortal body, becoming ever more perfect; the will was as if melted into liquid, silently permeating Li Che's limbs and bones!
The entire Snow Mountain at that moment turned into a volcano!
Blazing crimson‑gold flames shot skyward, releasing extreme heat, melting all the accumulated snow, making the foothills of the great Snow Mountain roar like a torrent!
Li Che sat cross‑legged atop the Snow Mountain, entering the pivotal moment of transformation.
The Martial Daoist Immortal reached ultimate metamorphosis, striking the Mysterious Immortal!
Endless mysterious anomalies manifested, the eight Dao Tribulations spawning strange phenomena that blossomed behind Li Che like a peacock's fan!
The eight mysterious gate blood‑Qi vortices seemed at this moment to slowly converge into one...
Like eight stars linked together; from one angle they appeared overlapped!
Rumble—
Above the Nine Heavens, leaden clouds rolled, thunder intertwined, the void seemed to split into a ten‑thousand‑foot chasm, the darkness as black as ink, so black one could not see a hand, yet endless turbulence swirled within.
A nine‑headed terrifying Purple Thunder Dragon, imbued with the dreadful will of Heaven and Earth and the breath of the Great Dao, churned in the turbulent void, poised to strike.
Such a thunder dragon, even Li Che saw for the first time, its scales glittered, flashing the murderous intent of Heaven and Earth, seeking to erase Li Che, the terrifying monster who should not exist!
Even a martial path so perfectly attuned to the will of Heaven and Earth, should such a being arise, it would be deemed intolerable by Heaven and Earth!
Rumble—
An ultimate terrifying storm burst forth from that shattered void.
Even Li Che could not help but lift his head, his heart trembling.
It seemed a ferocious dragon head, flashing violet annihilating thunder, peered out from the torn rift in the void.
The dragon scales glittered, its whiskers fluttered, vivid as a living dragon, peering down upon the world!
And an unparalleled pressure spread instantly!
It was a forbidden aura, a pressure of an eternal level enough to suffocate.
"Such a thunder tribulation?!"
Li Che's complexion changed drastically, becoming extremely unsightly.
This Heaven‑and‑Earth Will…
It actually descends, a calamity of the Immortal‑level will!
Although each of these purple Annihilation Thunder Dragons is inferior to a true Immortal deity, they all contain an extremely powerful Immortal‑level aura!
After all, one is a true Immortal deity's manifestation, the other is an Annihilation Thunder Dragon formed from the Heaven‑and‑Earth Will.
Yet at this moment, the power of this Annihilation Thunder Dragon is by no means weaker than the Immortal!
At least in the mortal world, such calamity thunder… versus the Immortal, what difference is there?
This is a rhythm that will surely kill Li Che!
Even Li Che can only see horror in his eyes.
What the heck?!
A martial Daoist Immortal enters the Mysterious Immortal realm…
The Heaven‑and‑Earth Will then descends Immortal‑level power to erase him?!
Can it still be so unreasonable?!
The Heaven‑and‑Earth Will can do this?!
Li Che, furious, almost cursed out loud.
Even if he breaks through to the Mysterious Immortal level, Li Che has no confidence of surviving against Immortal‑level power…
One must know that the purple Annihilation Thunder Dragon reflected in the void releases a true Immortal aura, extremely terrifying.
Even before it falls, it already gives Li Che the illusion of being shattered to pieces!
Cannot be blocked…
Not a single one can be blocked!
Moreover, beyond the rift in the void, as if in the boundless starry sky, nine‑headed Annihilation Thunder Dragons stir restlessly.
In the distance…
The Grand Overseer has long been stunned. "How… how could this be?!"
"Immortal aura? What kind of calamity thunder is this? Li Che… what on earth is he doing?!"
The Grand Overseer is bewildered.
He can be certain that Li Che is undertaking a forbidden act.
An action that even the Heaven‑and‑Earth Will cannot tolerate.
The conditions for breakthrough are extremely harsh!
Indeed, it seems aimed at preventing his success!
Boom—!!!
Within an enormous rift, a purple Thunder Dragon slowly descends; this is a calamity thunder, its speed not fast, even slow.
Yet the pressure it brings is overwhelming!
The purple Annihilation Thunder Dragon, bearing a world‑ending calamity, is a transformation of ultimate disaster power!
Inside Li Che's chest, the thunder‑magnetic track Dao Fruit frantically pulses; if this Dao Fruit were a person now, it would already be hopping wildly in place!
!
Li Che can feel the Dao Fruit's yearning and greed!
But Li Che's heart is full of bitterness…
That Immortal‑level aura is too intense, even in Li Che's perception…
The aura released by this Annihilation Thunder Dragon should not be called Immortal, but rather… Celestial Immortal!
This is a Celestial Immortal‑level disaster, leaving no chance!
Li Che lifts his head proudly, his eyes filled with complex colors.
He sees clearly the Thunder Dragon that burst from the rift, a purple Thunder Dragon, its forepaws extended, covered with countless thunder‑pattern crystal armor.
Its claws slash, the void shattering like glass vessels, unable to bear it, as if breaking Heaven‑and‑Earth's seal and descending from another dimension!
Time and space both stagnate, and then the entire Celestial Immortal Thunder Dragon, enveloped in annihilation aura, descends from within!
Its whole body is formed of liquid thunder magma; the reverse‑scale areas interweave purple light, as if solidified crystal debris settled deep in the great Dao's river!
Boom—!!!
The instant the Annihilation Thunder Dragon's vertical pupils opened, Li Che felt as if everything about him had been frozen.
As if…
At this moment, a higher‑level Heaven‑and‑Earth Will revives!
Unstoppable, inexorable!
This instant…
What seeks to erase Li Che is the Heaven‑and‑Earth Will!
Death…
Rains down!
Li Che stands on the mountain peak, raising his head to howl, his jet‑black, sinewy hair whipping wildly; the Great Dao Immortal pattern etched by his tribulation seems to be tearing strand by strand, being fused by this terrifying Celestial Immortal‑level calamity thunder, spilling out of his body.
How could he… just die like this?!
His daughter still waits for him in Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Li Che gasps heavily!
Suddenly.
At the horizon's edge.
A golden pillar of light shoots upward.
Accompanied by eighteen golden lotus discs suspended, it is Li Che who had Xie Yunshen complete the convergence of the eighteen earthly‑fortune golden lotuses!
Buzz—
The annihilating Thunder Dragon furrowed its brows as if human, and the next moment its claw struck down fiercely!
In an instant, beneath the dragon's scales, a world‑ending purple radiance burst forth, and all the space around Li Che was compressed by a single claw into a crystal wall woven with interlaced thunder‑patterned Dao lines.
There's no escape; one must die completely under this claw!
However.
Two fortune golden lotuses blossomed around Li Che, slowly rotating and drifting, colliding with the annihilating dragon claw.
It was as if a silent, soundless cancellation occurred.
The Thunder Dragon gradually vanished, but Li Che's body shivered; a strand of purple thunder arc fell, striking him, instantly tearing his flesh open.
His powerful saintly body, at this moment, became exceedingly fragile.
Had it not been for the primordial shattered star‑thunder Dao tribulation immortal pattern vibrating on his flesh, bearing that thunder arc, Li Che's mortal body might have exploded outright.
And within Li Che's chest, the Thunder Magnetic Track Body Dao Fruit greedily devoured that strand of annihilating thunder.
Li Che gasped heavily.
After the void fissure, one majestic Thunder Dragon after another emerged, as if descending from another dimension.
The annihilating power vented, yet Li Che continuously emitted blossom after blossom of fortune golden lotuses around him.
One Thunder Dragon requires two fortune golden lotuses to counteract…
The nine‑headed Thunder Dragon completely exhausted Li Che's eighteen fortune golden lotuses.
The fissure vanished, healing completed.
Yet residual pressure lingered, forcing all living beings to kneel and shiver on the ground, lacking even the strength to circulate their qi and blood.
The entire Wushen Mountain disappeared.
The mountain was directly melted by the Thunder Dragon's power into a sea of thunder‑magma, as if it became a Thunder Pool.
Li Che sat cross‑legged within the Thunder Pool, his whole body interwoven with lightning.
He slowly opened his eyes, immortal qi overflowing within, suffusing every inch of his flesh, each bone, every pore, exuding immortal aura.
The eight Great Dao immortal patterns resonated, coalescing in Li Che's dantian Qi sea into a golden lotus platform.
A flame merging hellfire, annihilating thunder fire, and immortal qi quietly burned atop that immortal platform.
"The immortal platform ignites immortal fire."
"Xuan Xian, it's done!"
Li Che exhaled.
It was as if his whole being sat upon the golden lotus platform, countless golden flames spreading outward like lotus petals, continuously guarding the platform.
Within a hundred‑li radius of the Wushen Mountain, the area seemed to become a dead zone, completely restricted and sealed.
Not even a Martial Saint Divine Embryo, let alone a Divine Tribulation Supreme, could perceive it with Heaven‑and‑Earth Soul.
Lu Taibai, Xuan Qisha, Gu Qianchi and others stood stunned on the ground, gazing at the hazy, scorching flow and great mist over the Wushen Mountain region.
Li Che…
What exactly did he do?
Meanwhile, the Grand Overseer Zheng's white robe fluttered as he looked up.
"…so that's how it is."
"Gathering earthly fortune, employing the technique of fortune, he passed through this almost impassable calamity…"
"Did Li Che foresee this all along?"
Even he, the emissary of Heaven and Earth's will, had not anticipated this layer.
"Grand Overseer… Elder Li…"
Lu Taibai found the Grand Overseer, inquiring about Li Che's condition—whether he lived or died.
"Li Wuxian… he succeeded; though I, the old one, do not know his current state, it must be a great metamorphosis."
"Li Wuxian, incredible."
The Grand Overseer did not conceal his admiration.
He wagered the entire mortal realm on Li Che; perhaps this will be his most correct decision.
He cast a deep glance at the mist‑shrouded, Heaven‑pressing region.
The Grand Overseer did not linger; confirming Li Che was unharmed and had successfully metamorphosed was enough.
After the Grand Overseer departed, Lu Taibai, Xuan Qisha and others did not retreat, quietly waiting.
…
…
Within the Thunder Pool, countless thunder arcs flickered like a sparkling lake surface.
Li Che sat cross‑legged on the lake, innumerable thunder arcs clinging to his body as if sentient, as if worshipping the king of thunder.
After a while, Li Che opened his eyes.
As if in endless darkness, a brilliant light blossomed.
Li Che sat on the Thunder Pool, all sounds in heaven and earth vanished, isolated from his ears, leaving only the rhythmic pulse of the Dao Fruit violently beating within his chest.
Before his eyes, the lingering flowing light intertwined, slowly coalescing into a line of prompt.
【Dao Fruit: Thunder Magnetic Track Body (lv8, 0%)】
Thunder Magnetic Track Body!
After enduring this terrifying, world‑shaking annihilating thunder tribulation that spread Heaven‑level pressure, he finally achieved the Sixth Metamorphosis!
Of course, the main reason was that he captured a single, fleeting moving thunder arc that had nearly scarred Li Che all over.
That flash of annihilation lightning arc directly caused the Lightning Magnetic Track Body's Dao Fruit to undergo transformation.
His mind stirred slightly, and the Profound Immortal will, which had just been tightened by the Profound Immortal transformation, was instantly pulled by a powerful force.
His consciousness spanned across, the constellations shifted, and countless stars were hurled rapidly behind him.
When he opened his eyes, Li Che found himself inside the Dao Tree space.
Vast heavens and earth, endless and boundless.
The Dao Tree's branches expanded, piercing heaven and earth, like a dream, like an illusion!
Li Che exhaled; his whole body and mind felt an unprecedented relaxation, and upon seeing the Dao Tree, his consciousness steadied.
The Lightning Magnetic Track Fruit floated down, achieving the Six Transformations of the Lightning Magnetic Track Fruit, and grew much larger.
The Dao Fruit hovered before Li Che's eyes, then burst with a roar, countless lightning arcs flickering.
It transformed into a long river woven with thunder.
It was the Thunder Great Way Long River, and atop the river a colossal figure, as massive as a thunder mountain, stood within the river, summoning countless thunders that circled around him.
Undoubtedly, that figure was the Lord of the Lightning Magnetic Track Body's Dao Fruit!
The figure slowly turned, as if countless thunders were shifting, intertwining, and flickering within his eyes.
He locked eyes with Li Che across time and space.
There was no dialogue.
Only a single meeting of gazes, as if the souls of two Dao Fruit Lords spanning cyclical time resonated.
And the Lord of the Lightning Magnetic Track Body said nothing, but displayed one extraordinary thunder after another to Li Che.
Within those thunders, Li Che saw many calamity thunders he recognized.
For example, Nine Sky Profound Thunder, Mysterious Gold Chaotic Heavenly Thunder, and this time the directly faced Annihilation Heavenly Thunder of the Heavenly Immortal level…
Besides this Annihilation Thunder calamity,
there were three extremely terrifying thunders!
Li Che could only laboriously imprint the wildly dancing thunder scenes into his memory, engraving the forms of these three thunders…
Then, all images shattered.
His entire consciousness also returned to reality.
Li Che opened his eyes.
The Lightning Magnetic Track Body's Dao Fruit, after Six Transformations, wielded an even stronger command over thunder.
The damage from that violet annihilation thunder was also soothed; the flickering lightning arc power seemed to be drawn in, merging deep into his flesh, disappearing without a trace.
However, Li Che did not rise; he continued to sit cross‑legged in the Lightning Pool, consolidating the life‑and‑death breakthrough he had just endured in a Heavenly Immortal calamity.
Time passed, moment by moment.
Li Che remained seated in the Lightning Pool for a full forty days, undergoing the transformation from Human Immortal Extreme Transformation to Profound Immortal.
It was an all‑round metamorphosis!
With immense gains, Li Che's martial cultivation advanced greatly, even taking a farther step along the martial Dao river!
When the transformation was complete.
Li Che rose abruptly, standing within the Lightning Pool that had become a ruin on Wu Shen Mountain.
His aura shifted instantly; divine nature invaded each mysterious celestial lineage within him, expanding in an instant…
Then, rolling divine nature surged skyward from Li Che.
Whoosh—whoosh—...
One by one, Great Way Chains intertwined.
Li Che's eyes flashed with brilliant radiance.
Three thousand Great Way Chains pierced his flesh, then wildly danced, coiling around him, forming a Divine Altar.
Li Che's Path of Profound Immortal and Path of Deities must maintain a balance.
Now that the Profound Immortal has broken through, the Path of Deities must also keep pace.
Otherwise the balance shatters, and the flesh that flows against the current to become an immortal will crumble piece by piece.
Thus, Li Che's breakthrough of the Profound Immortal would be a loss.
After attaining Profound Immortal, Li Che already had insight into igniting fire.
A divine thought moved, summoning three thousand Great Way Divine Chains that pierced his flesh, then forged three thousand Great Way Divine Altars!
Afterwards.
Li Che spread his five fingers, kneading a ball of blazing karmic fire.
The karmic fire flickered as Li Che stared.
His heart stirred slightly, and a solemn hue interwove in his eyes.
"Once the Divine Fire is lit, it means formally stepping onto the Divine Dao river, and the great river of the Divine Dao is monopolized by the Immortal…"
"If I ignite the Divine Fire, perhaps I will attract the Immortal's attention and gaze…"
At that time, perhaps a great calamity of the Divine Dao would await him!
However…
Now that Li Che has broken through the Profound Immortal, his mind is expansive and his spirit grand.
His blood boiled turbulently within.
Gripping the karmic fire, he snickered.
"The Immortal wants to block me… then let me see how it will block me?!"
In the next instant,
He struck forcefully at the center of the three thousand Great Way Divine Altar.
In an instant, the hellfire sped along the Three Thousand Great Way Divine Chain, spreading rapidly.
Then it set the whole Divine Altar ablaze with a roaring flame!
