Chapter 558: The Prison Lotus Girl

Xixi grabbed the pink mechanism hurled by Cloud Thunder.

A familiar sensation, like babbling water rushing swiftly, swept over Xixi's whole body, causing Xixi to instantly enter a unique state.

Her mind became wildly turbulent, the blood in her veins seemed to boil, as if a sleeping soul were awakened.

Xian Gong Gatling!

The lv8 version of the Xian Gong Gatling—after Li Che's Xian Gong Dao Fruit advanced to the lv8 tier, he refined many mechanisms.

These mechanisms were not only engraved by Li Che with the Mechanism Nine Divine Seal, but also fused with the Heaven‑Earth Ancient Seal, embodying Heaven‑Earth's will, and their power surged dramatically.

Moreover, the Wooden Ferry Crows launched by the Xian Gong Gatling were rebuilt by Li Che with premium spirit wood, merging the power of Xuan Jin Chaotic Heavenly Thunder.

The Annihilating Heavenly Thunder is actually the most powerful calamity thunder gathered by Li Che's Heavenly Magnetic Track Body.

But the problem is that Annihilating Heavenly Thunder belongs to the Celestial Immortal tier, which Li Che cannot grasp or control; when he first blocked it, he did not simply force it down with his own strength.

Therefore, he only captured a sliver of Annihilating Heavenly Thunder, and Li Che did not fuse that tiny fragment into the Wooden Ferry Crow, because the crow's power could not bear it.

Heaven‑Earth Ancient Talisman, Mechanism Nine Divine Seal, and the power of Xuan Jin Chaotic Heavenly Thunder…

Li Che merged these three forces together using Mechanism Art.

They erupted with unimaginable explosion and power!

The Xian Gong Gatling as a whole also underwent a notable change: six barrels carved from divine wood, each etched with countless patterns, like three hundred sixty crimson lines winding like stellar veins.

Inside each barrel, the Heaven‑Craft Nine Mortise Classic structure was employed, perfectly integrated; when activated, the engraved Mechanism Divine Seal is stimulated, drawing in the divinity of Heaven and Earth, then erupting with heat, causing the six barrels to be forced open by the mighty force.

Like a peacock spreading its tail, they unfolded into a parasol‑shaped fan!

This is Li Che's newly developed and refined lv8‑rank Xian Gong Gatling!

Xixi grasped the Xian Gong Gatling, and a wave of wild intent burst forth from her.

It felt as if seizing this mechanism meant seizing the entire world!

"I really am…"

"I've had enough!"

"Harming my friends, forcing me to turn dark—if Xixi's parents also appeared in the Upper Realm, you would spare no cost to kill Xixi's parents, driving Xixi to despair and merging with the Prison Lotus curse!"

"You're so ruthless!"

Xixi gritted her teeth.

Buzz—

The divinity within the Spirit Mountain Cavern abruptly began to boil, constantly converging onto the Xian Gong Gatling in Xixi's grasp.

Dense divinity gathered like countless starlight specks.

In an instant, the divine patterns on the Xian Gong Gatling seemed to swell; the compressed Xuan Jin Chaotic Heavenly Thunder inside was instantly stimulated, erupting with blazing golden light!

The Wooden Ferry Crows primed in the barrel, like ignited firecrackers, were instantly touched by flame; the runes attached to them self‑ignited, countless lightning patterns spreading along the Spiritual Core Trigger, which Xixi struck hard.

At once, the entire mechanism trembled violently, emitting a resonant roar like dragons wailing and tigers roaring!

Bang bang bang—

The six crimson barrels began to spin wildly, spewing blazing golden light like a ringed sun, flashing with extreme brilliance!

Each Wooden Ferry Crow let out a screeching cry like a soaring hawk!

At blistering speed, they shot out, wrapped in the power of Xuan Jin Chaotic Heavenly Thunder!

The air was ripped into rippling waves of heat, and the Wooden Ferry Crows, trailing comet‑like tails, roared out!

Clack clack clack clack clack—!

It was only a moment!

Hundreds of brilliant beams tangled with blazing golden lightning howled out, like thousands upon ten thousand dragons surging from the abyss!

Roaring and bellowing, they blasted toward the dense forest, assaulting the elite prodigies of Xixi's top‑ten ancient villages.

The speed was overwhelming, and the penetration power extremely strong!

They also carried the power of Heaven‑Earth's will—utterly scorching, utterly domineering, crushing down like collapsing mountains!

One by one, the elite prodigies who had reached the Divine Tribulation Realm turned pale with shock!

They roared and howled, their divinity erupting, trying to block the barrage of mechanism shells unleashed by Xixi.

Each lv8‑tier Wooden Ferry Crow, engraved with Heaven‑Earth Ancient Talisman and the Mechanism Nine Divine Seal, was indeed overwhelmingly powerful!

At the moment of impact, they exploded with a thunderous roar, like the Vermilion Bird's long howl, reborn in flame and spewing scorching fire!

Puff puff puff—!

This power far exceeds the Divine Tribulation Realm!

The divine weapon trembled, fully activated and unsealed!

It is a defensive divine weapon, meant to block Xixi's Gatling barrage!

"Hahaha! Fireworks… let them bloom!"

Xixi grasped the Purple Flame Serpent Spear at an angle, one hand holding the Xian Gong Gatling, and pulled the Spiritual Core Trigger.

The divine wood barrels spun incessantly; the six barrels swelled by more than double, honed by scorching heat.

Boom—!!

Explosion gave birth!

The terrifying blast caused countless flames to erupt skyward, and the sheen on the divine weapon's surface began to dim.

Eventually it could no longer withstand the bombardment.

The divine weapon's light was instantly extinguished, with nothing left, and it was flung away by the dreadful force.

Without the divine weapon's protection,

the power of these mutated Wooden Ferry Crows exploded mercilessly upon the elite prodigies!

The many prodigies of the top‑ten ancient villages that besieged Xixi could not hold, and were instantly devoured in this battle!

In the dense forest, gorgeous flowers burst forth one after another!

Scorching heat permeated, as if gunsmoke rose hazy, vaporizing into a seven‑colored mist!

And far away.

Yunlei also unleashed the Immortal Craft Gatling, like a massacre; each wood‑passing crow that shot out was like an incredibly sharp spear, piercing the enemy and then exiting the body, carrying residual force to blast through and pierce a second, then a third cultivator.

Blood mist, wildly blooming!

The bloody scent in the forest instantly grew intense, impossible to suppress any longer!

Blooming blood‑colored flowers resembled fireworks celebrations erupting in the forest.

The prodigy siblings Tuoba Li and Tuoba Xiu of the Earth Village stared, utterly dazed.

Their pupils contracted, stiff as wooden carvings, frozen in place as they lifted their heads to gaze at the hazy blood mist around them.

Watching prodigy after prodigy collapse like torn cloth, their flesh shattered by terrifying tribulation lightning, their world souls ground to dust……

Their bodies involuntarily began to tremble slightly!

"What… is this?"

The two's confused voices, seeming to rise from their throats, were drowned out by the roar of the Immortal Craft Gatling's gunfire!

Within the dense forest.

Yunhuang shouldered the Immortal Craft Barrett, her long legs tapping on branches as she swiftly shifted position.

Then, raising the Immortal Craft Barrett again, the divine patterns on its long, slender barrel were activated, continuing to channel divine energy; firelight burst forth, forming a spiral‑shaped dragon fang that shot out at a speed beyond perception of the world soul.

It pierced the ancient village prodigy's divine‑weapon defense, blasted his skull, and tore apart his world soul!

Killing unseen!

Within the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven, the sky instantly turned blood‑red.

The bloody scent rolled on, endless and bewildering.

The first island.

Countless wails surged skyward, tearing apart the island's tranquility.

The prodigies were terrified beyond measure, for they could not withstand it!

They could not fully block the terrifying lethal force spewing from the mechanism; the firepower was too fierce!

That offensive force seemed as if it would never cease!

The six barrels spun continuously, steaming heat and spewing golden light like the scythe of the grim reaper, harvesting cultivators' lives!

"Run!"

Terrified screams exploded.

These prodigies, who had intended to besiege the Hell Lotus Maiden and claim her first kill, collapsed completely.

However, Xixi, Yunlei, and Yunhuang, who had fired the Immortal Craft Barrett sniper from a hundred li away in the dense forest, remained.

Yet they were utterly ruthless, showing no mercy, their hands never ceasing motion.

Under the roar of the Immortal Craft Gatling, lives were harvested one after another!

The Sea of Bitterness, as if dyed into a sea of blood!

Upon the blood‑red island, only the aura of slaughter lingered.

……

……

The seventh island.

A mighty divine spirit aura roared, divine patterns surged skyward, twisting and quivering.

Divine‑realm contestants from the great ancient villages gathered now on the seventh island, watching the scene reflected by the waves of the Sea of Bitterness……

The ancient‑village divine spirits present felt only a slight tremor in their bodies.

Through the image they saw the life and death of their own promising younger generation.

A miserable death lay beneath that strange mechanism.

Life ceased, its meridians and soul severed!

Originally, when the ace Lei He of the Xuanlei Ancient Village was forcibly slain, many divine‑realm powerhouses still gloated.

Yet now the boomerang of their schadenfreude lashed back fiercely upon themselves!

Carnage—the Hell Lotus Maiden had joined forces with an unknown ancient‑village prodigy, wielding a bizarrely powerful mechanism, and was now slaughtering on the first island of the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven!

Indeed, calling it a slaughter is absolutely correct!

The Immortal Craft Gatling spun at high speed; the dragon‑fang bullets spewing in concert from its six barrels, like demonic fangs, harvested lives!

Many prodigies from the divine‑realm cultivators' own villages also perished in this massacre.

Flesh and blood shattered, world souls torn apart!

The vital breath was completely severed!

The situation underwent a complete upheaval in an instant!

"Ah——!!!"

"Who is it?! Who are they?!"

"Is that a mechanism? Who exactly are those two prodigies, which village are they from? They're not from the Earth Village, so why dare to come to the aid of the Hell Lotus Maiden?!"

A divine‑realm cultivator roared, eyes wide with fury!

The Dao‑Integration Realm divine spirit of the Xuanlei Village had long fallen silent, his whole body emanating intense baleful energy.

"It's the Cloudsoar Village!"

"Those two… are the exceptionally outstanding prodigy siblings Yunhuang and Yunlei from Yunxiao Village, who shone brilliantly in this Divine Gamble Battle selection of the Profound Heavens!"

"That Yunhuang has even awakened the ancient clan's bloodline!"

There came a divine spirit from the Profound Heaven, speaking coldly.

They recognized Yun Huang and Yun Lei, after all, in the selection battle of the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling Battle, they had fought successive level‑crossing battles, victorious each time, gaining huge resources as divine prodigies, so naturally someone had taken notice and recognized them!

"Yunxiao Village? That ancient village of the middle among the five elders?"

The entire seventh island suddenly fell silent.

The Dao Fusion cultivator of Xuanlei Village narrowed his eyes, coldly sweeping his gaze over, within his pupils sharp and terrifying thunder rumbled.

He turned his head and looked toward Li Che.

"You… are the Divine Realm representative of Yunxiao Village, right?"

"How dare you, Yunxiao Village…!!"

Boom——!!!

Splash!!!

The boundless bitter sea water, like a torrential downpour, engulfed the coast!

However, many Divine Realm cultivators circulated their qi and blood, directly evaporating this seawater; within the water, lightning flashed and darted.

That Dao Fusion divine spirit of Xuanlei Village had already appeared before Li Che!

"Yunxiao Village!"

"You dare to aid and support the Hell Lotus Maiden? You're courting death!"

This Dao Fusion realm divine spirit was extremely furious.

Because he knew that in this Thousand Villages Divine Gambling Battle, Xuanlei Village had no chance left.

Lei He died, and the remaining divine prodigies of Xuanlei Village were all wiped out.

Basically, no divine prodigy could deliver the Divine Vault Command to his hand, which essentially means Xuanlei Village has already been eliminated from this Divine Gambling Battle!

Thus, this Dao Fusion divine spirit naturally flared with anger and decisively struck out!

After all, they no longer had the qualification to ascend Spirit Mountain, nor to obtain the qualification for the biggest stake in the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling Battle.

Clenching his five fingers, thunder roared, forming a massive thunder spear that thrust toward Li Che's brow, aiming to vent the fury over the deaths of Lei He and other ace divine prodigies onto Li Che.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it is obvious that the strong are revered.

This Xuanlei Village Dao Fusion strong one said he would vent his anger, wanting to completely unleash the fury of Yun Huang and Yun Lei's attack!

However, Li Che stood in place; behind him, a temporal-spatial golden wheel suddenly appeared, accompanied by a clicking sound.

As the temporal-spatial golden wheels overlapped, it seemed as if space itself were being twisted.

Li Che's figure, standing with hands behind his back, vanished instantly from the spot, reappearing already a hundred zhang away, opening distance from this Dao Fusion cultivator.

"A divine spirit who travels the Space Great Dao transmission flow?!"

The Dao Fusion strong one of Xuanlei Village narrowed his eyes.

"But… you twist space, yet how can you match the speed of my thunder‑incarnate killing strike!"

"I will catch up to you sooner or later!"

The Xuanlei Dao Fusion cultivator roared, and instantly dense thunderbolts shot out from his whole body, wildly spreading in all directions!

Like a great net, it completely sealed off Li Che's escape routes!

Around, many divine spirits watched coldly.

None of them moved to stop it; even their eyes flickered with killing intent.

Yun Huang and Yun Lei's attack helped the Hell Lotus Maiden turn the tide, slaughtering many divine prodigies on the first island.

Among those slain divine prodigies were their descendants.

Thus, they also delighted to see Yunxiao Village pay the price for this!

Lightning seemed to transform into a dragon shadow, reaching its utmost speed; Li Che, aided by the temporal-spatial golden wheel, continually twisted and shifted.

Yet, the Xuanlei Village Dao Fusion cultivator doggedly pursued him!

Hum——!!!

When space twisted like a mirror, Li Che stepped upon the rippling spatial realm and walked out.

That Xuanlei Village Dao Fusion divine spirit roared as it appeared before Li Che!

"Die!"

He ruthlessly drove down the thunder spear in his hand, and space instantly cracked like a spiderweb!

Li Che's gaze was indifferent, his jet‑black, vigorous hair wildly dancing!

"Playing with thunder before me…?"

Li Che gave a faint smile.

The next moment, Li Che's entire body erupted with thunder, crackling and writhing like swimming snakes!

Profound Gold Chaotic Heavenly Thunder!

It burst forth instantly from his pores!

And Li Che, arms outstretched, forcibly endured the Dao Fusion divine spirit's thunderous slaughter!

Boom——!!!

? C〇

Thunder roared, countless thunder particles danced wildly between heaven and earth, making the seventh island seem to violently tremble at this moment.

The seawater along the island's edge burst up, raising a water‑curtain hundreds of zhang high!

"What?!"

When the smoke and dust cleared, the spatial fluctuations returned to calm!

The Xuanlei Village Dao Fusion divine spirit was instantly horrified to the point of despair!

Yet Li Che was seen hovering in midair, his whole body transformed into a thunderous form, every inch of his flesh seeming to turn into thunder particles!

And his thunder spear was seized by Li Che, its thunder power…

As if it were completely devoured by this divine spirit from the ancient Five Elders' Cloud Sky Village!

"Your constitution… can devour thunder?!"

"An ancient clan bloodline talent?!"

A low growl burst in the midair.

And Li Che began to counter.

All the thunder he had absorbed at this moment coalesced and intertwined at his fingertips, countless bolts of lightning violently compressed!

Dao tribulation, thunder magnetic pressure!

Three thousand times!

Space itself seemed to collapse instantly at this moment.

Li Che's mind stirred, summoning a strand of annihilating heavenly thunder!

This is the power of the Martial Dao Celestial Immortal tier; the instant those forces intertwined gave the Fusion Path of Profound Thunder Village a terrifying illusion of impending disaster!

Countless thunders, accompanied by a shrill sound like a thousand birds, gathered before Li Che, a thunder orb spinning swiftly!

Even the void couldn't help but emit a buzzing crushing sound, as if time and space were being ground into powder!

"This is…"

"Immortal power?!"

The Fusion Path of Profound Thunder Village's hair stood on end!

A heart sank into the bottom of a valley.

He was utterly panicked; it was merely a Fusion Path, yet facing immortal‑tier power, how could he possibly resist?

Even if it only contained a trace of immortal‑tier power…

He still couldn't block it!

Bang!

His whole body erupted with countless thunders, trying to escape using their speed.

But, on Li Che's body, a terrifying suction seemed to burst forth; the thunders he had just unleashed were all sucked up by Li Che's flesh!

"Ah—!!!"

Li Che flicked his finger.

The annihilating thunder orb instantly arced and struck the chest of the Fusion Path divine spirit of Profound Thunder Village.

In an instant, the chest collapsed!

Boom—!!!

The annihilating thunder orb erupted!

The entire island seemed shrouded by terrifying thunder power, heaven and earth blurred in chaos, ripples surged in layers, and the void continuously exploded and shattered!

Whoosh!

It was as if a thunder pool shattered, countless thunders gushed like a flood, sweeping in all directions!

Amid the endless lightning.

Li Che's indifferent eyes scanned the Fusion Path divine spirit, his spine suddenly rose like an enraged dragon bursting forth in an instant.

The ground beneath trembled, the island quaked, countless seas of bitter water erupted, and under the thunder's impact they vaporized, forming a towering mist!

Li Che's eyes flashed, his mind stirred, and the celestial board of heaven and earth instantly expanded.

He also appeared at lightning speed before the Fusion Path divine spirit of Profound Thunder Village, which had been blasted by the annihilating thunder orb and was nearly shattered to pieces.

He clenched his five fingers into a fist, converting the divine aura into a Martial Immortal!

The Mysterious Immortal emerged, thrusting a horizontal punch!

In an instant, the Fusion Path divine spirit exploded, shattering into countless fragments of flesh and blood that flew wildly!

After Li Che delivered the punch, he spread his palm, gathering all the flesh and blood together.

"Bind Spirit."

The cold two words sounded like the whisper of a hell lord.

Heh heh heh—

Amid countless arcing thunders, many divine spirits on the Seventh Island suddenly realized they could no longer perceive the battle.

Hoo Hoo Hoo!

As the divine spirit brushed its sleeve, a strong wind blew, dispersing the water mist.

The scene in the arena was revealed.

But the island's ground erupted a deep pit pulsing with thunder arcs, and within that pit, the Fusion Path divine spirit of Profound Thunder Village had a massive cavity blown open in its chest, its face pale and disheveled.

"Good, good, good… what a Cloud Sky Village!"

"Cloud Sky Village… just an ancient village among the Five Elders, yet it managed to find external support like you, impressive."

Under everyone's gaze, the Fusion Path of Profound Thunder Village, one of the top ten ancient villages, gave up, no longer acting, as if subdued.

Li Che smiled lightly, clasped his fists, and said, "I accept your concession."

Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the three great divine camps, and the gods of the two saint ancient villages all seek to make Xixi an enemy of the world, to have the world abandon Xixi, to slaughter all her friends and family, and to turn her dark.

Since that's the case...

Li Che chose to forge a different path.

As long as Xixi… has friends everywhere across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, wouldn't that be fine?

On the Seventh Island, numerous deities cast their gazes at Li Che with great caution.

After all, being able to suppress the Fusion Dao of Xuanlei Village shows that Li Che absolutely possesses the combat power of the ten ancient village contestant deities.

For a moment, all sides were wary of each other, and no further battle broke out.

Sometimes, you want others to acknowledge you.

Regardless of whether the other side is hostile.

As long as you display sufficiently great strength.

Respect and recognition will then naturally seek you out.

…

…

First Island.

Blood mist swirls, a sea of gore.

Gunpowder smoke lingers, still carrying the scent of a mechanism's explosion.

Hoo hoo hoo—

A strong wind blows, dispersing the hazy blood mist.

Xixi stands still, the six overloaded barrels in her hand emitting a sizzling heat flow, the scorching temperature seeming to warp the air itself.

Excitement slowly recedes from Xixi's face.

Tuoba Li and Tuoba Xiu, dragging their wounded bodies, come forward; they were shocked at first, but now… only silence and numbness remain.

Whoosh whoosh.

Two sounds of cutting through the void resound.

Yun Huang and Yun Lei swoop in, landing beside Xixi.

Xixi's eyes instantly brighten, suppressing the excitement that had risen like fireworks, and she looks at the two.

She opens her mouth, about to speak but stops.

She can be sure that these two prodigies are definitely connected to her dad!

Because in this world, only her dad could create mechanisms like the Divine Craft Gatling and Divine Craft Barrett!

That's his style!

Now that these mechanisms have appeared in Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it shows that her dad has also arrived!

"Little sister Xixi, the teacher sent us to help you!"

Yun Huang carries the Divine Craft Barrett on her back, her eyes gentle, her white dress fluttering in the wind like a blooming white plum blossom.

Yun Lei grins, scratching his head, laughing foolishly at Xixi.

"Hey, my teacher's daughter is really beautiful!"

"No wonder she's the daughter of the Prison Lotus, a future scourge of the nation!"

Yun Huang sees Yun Lei's expression, her dark brows slightly furrow, her long legs tensing as she kicks Yun Lei's rear.

"Why are you laughing foolishly? Don't forget the task the teacher gave us!"

Yun Lei quickly regains his composure, wiping away the phantom drool at the corner of his mouth.

"The teacher won't let us reveal his identity, but he said… you can guess it."

"However, Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are too dangerous; the teacher doesn't want to be a burden to you, so… he let us help you."

"After all, we are prodigies; we can grow alongside you, and this is the training the teacher gave us."

Yun Huang says.

Xixi hoists the Divine Craft Gatling, her eyes radiant and bright.

She nods continuously.

After Grandfather Tuoba Ye's guidance, she also understood.

Her dad and mother are her closest relatives; once exposed, they will inevitably become targets of the Three Great Deity Camps.

They would become objects of slaughter, an excellent tool to provoke her descent into darkness.

Therefore, staying hidden is the best choice.

Anyway…

Xixi runs her hands over the scorching Divine Craft Gatling, her heart swelling with joy.

Holding the Divine Craft Gatling, she knows her dad is always there!

Her dad certainly won't let this situation continue, so as long as Xixi endures, there will surely be a bright, open reunion with her dad and mother in the future!

"Go! Let's set out!"

"We now have mechanisms in hand!"

"God blocks god, Buddha blocks Buddha!"

"No one can stop us from killing our way to the Seventh Island!"

Xixi places one hand on her hip, lifts the Divine Craft Gatling with the other, swelling immensely, thrilled beyond measure!

The youths exchange glances amid the foul wind and blood rain, bursting into hearty laughter.

"Hehe… Brother Yun Lei, any mechanisms? Give me a share too, okay?"

Tuoba Xiu rubs his hands, his bright eyes leaning forward.

Which youngster wouldn't yearn for such a mechanism upon seeing it?

Unfortunately, Li Che did not prepare many upgraded Divine Craft mechanisms for Yun Lei.

The light in Tuoba Xiu's eyes dims in an instant.

Without mechanisms, they can only be responsible for picking up corpses.

Tuoba Li and Tuoba Xiu began to pick up the Divine Treasure Orders from the prodigy corpses that had been beaten to a shattered mess on the ground.

Tuoba Xiu's initial loneliness gradually got lost in the impact of the Divine Treasure Order's frantic surge.

"Right... Xixi sister, the teacher now representing our Yun Xiao Village is waiting for us on the Seventh Island to receive the Divine Treasure Order."

Yun Huang seemed to think of something and said.

Although Li Che said on the surface that he would not reunite with Xixi for the time being,

physically, Li Che still planned to disguise himself and meet Xixi secretly.

Hearing that, Xixi, while wiping the body of the Xian Gong Gatling, suddenly shivered.

She lifted her head in disbelief, her eyes like two suns!

"Really?"

Yun Huang smiled gently: "Then it must be true; the teacher is now called Mo Che, and we usually call him sir…"

"However…"

Xixi didn't wait for her to finish, jumped up, grinned continuously: "I get it, I get it!"

Xixi's joy was visible to the naked eye.

"Let's go, let's go… We'll set off to the Second Island right now!"

"No, we head to the Seventh Island at the fastest speed!"

"I can hardly wait to visit Sir Mo Che!"

Xixi said solemnly, with proper decorum.

We did not linger excessively on the First Island.

The group stepped onto the teleportation array together and entered the Second Island.

On the Second Island, some prodigies who had escaped under the terrifying fire coverage of the Xian Gong Gatling had already relayed the news.

Many prodigies still didn't believe it, crowding around the teleportation platform, waiting for the Prison Lotus Girl to appear for a siege!

However, when Xixi appeared, ecstatic beyond measure,

this group of prodigies instantly understood what fire coverage meant!

Xixi had been suppressed for far too long in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Li Che deliberately gave Xixi a cheat, allowing her to slaughter everyone in this divine gambling battle!

So there was no restriction on the Xian Gong Gatling's firepower!

Fireworks burst brilliantly!

Flames shot up to the sky!

Coordinating with Yun Huang, who sniped from the shadows, the slaughter on the Second Island officially began after the First Island.

Xixi and Yun Lei gripped the Xian Gong Gatling and swept a barrage at the many prodigies that intended to encircle them!

Even the ace prodigy from one of the Top Ten Ancient Villages leading the charge could not escape.

Like a thunderclap, they suffered calamity and were detonated on the spot like fireworks!

"Can't block it! Absolutely can't block it!"

"Our divine weapons can only barely survive under the Prison Lotus Girl's firepower… while hidden weapons sniped from the shadows!"

"The mechanism in the Prison Lotus Girl's hand is already no weaker than top-tier divine weapons!"

"All I saw was death…"

The two remaining ace prodigies of the Top Ten Ancient Villages decisively began attacking surrounding prodigies, as if an internal conflict had erupted.

They did not hesitate, swiftly slaying many prodigies and seizing the Divine Treasure Orders afterward.

The teleportation to the Third Island began…

Xixi's party did not catch up, because gathering the Divine Treasure Orders from the slain prodigies took some time.

However, it didn't create a long gap.

Xixi, shouldering the smoking Xian Gong Gatling, stepped onto the teleportation array again.

Within the Spirit Mountain Cavern…

It was supposed to be a grand event where many ancient village prodigies would encircle the Prison Lotus Girl.

Instead, it turned into a massive slaughter by the Prison Lotus Girl.

Before the divine gambling battle began, the highly regarded ace prodigies of the Top Ten Ancient Villages became the Prison Lotus Girl's hunting targets.

"The Prison Lotus Girl… hasn't fallen, hasn't taken the Prison Lotus curse, right?!"

The prodigies who fled to the Third Island wore faces of utter despair.

When Xixi arrived with Yun Huang, Yun Lei, and others,

the surviving prodigies on the Third Island erupted into another internal conflict; after a massive battle, some prodigies had their Divine Treasure Orders seized and were abandoned on the island.

However, Xixi did not kill those prodigies.

She now looks forward immensely to setting foot on the Seventh Island.

In this way, the once bustling Thousand Villages divine gambling battle turned into a cat-and-mouse chase.

The internal strife among the prodigies finally drew to a close.

Because…

On the Sixth Island, two ace prodigies of the Top Ten Ancient Villages engaged in a massive battle.

Seeking to snatch each other's Divine Treasure Orders and ascend to the Seventh Island.

However…

They had not yet decided the victor.

Xixi arrived.

The two ace prodigies once again decisively teamed up, attacking Xixi.

As a result, under the terrifying firepower, they perished outright.

On the Seventh Island.

The divine spirits of the ten ancient villages trembled all over, a cold trembling…

Li Che stood on the cliff of the Seventh Island, the corner of his lips slightly curved.

Watching the carefree smile on Xixi's face.

Li Che's heart eased a little, and he exhaled.

This little girl, having endured grievances throughout Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, finally vented them today.

Li Che had Cloud Phoenix and Cloud Thunder deliver these mechanisms to Xixi…

Isn't the purpose precisely for this moment?

On the Sixth Island.

Xixi shouldered a smoking pink celestial‑crafted Gatling gun, looking toward the hazy direction of the Seventh Island.

It seemed as if she saw the familiar figure standing on the island.

Xixi's eyes suddenly became moist.

"Dad… Xixi is here!"
