Chapter 559: and then the title translation, then ===GLOSSARY=== with list of named entities

Divine Concealment Heaven, Divine Concealment City.

Buddha's light shone universally, illuminating and spreading, letting the entire city, the entire Divine Concealment Heaven domain, seem to be enveloped and bathed in a harmonious radiance.

Before the enormous transmission platform.

Densely packed were the other members of the many ancient villages participating in the Thousand Village Divine Gamble War.

Like Yunhe of Yunxiao Village, he had never participated in the Divine Gamble War, because there was a quota limit; furthermore, Yunhe also knew his own situation.

This time's Thousand Village Divine Gamble War, since it wasn't a platform battle, he didn't even have the qualification to lie flat and paddle.

Once entering, he would only become a burden.

So, it's unnecessary; since Mr. Mo Che has promised to act, this Thousand Village Divine Gamble War is basically secured; even if we don't make the top ten, we can at least gain a large wave of resources to give Yunxiao Village a continuation.

Buzz—

On the transmission platform, suddenly there were spatial fluctuations surging, and then one after another stream of light intertwined and flickered, distorting as they emerged.

The originally noisy transmission platform suddenly fell silent.

Gazes shifted almost instantly, landing on the transmission platform.

They were likely the divine children who had given up on the Divine Gamble War.

Each Divine Gamble War sees some divine children unable to bear the pressure or feeling no hope, so they abandon the war and are expelled from the cave heaven.

And this time, it's obviously the same situation.

However……

The next moment, one after another figure emerged on the transmission platform.

Moreover, these figures appeared in a sorry state, some even severely wounded and on the verge of death, still coughing blood.

Their eyes were filled with terror and despair, as if they had a belated fear.

Their whole bodies trembled, their faces deathly pale, they collapsed weakly onto the transmission platform.

"Dead… all dead…"

Below the transmission platform.

Such a scene instantly caused the cultivators of the major ancient villages to fall into silence.

When they came to, strong cultivators from the ancient villages had already ascended the transmission platform, taking their own village's divine children back.

After some questioning, they also learned from these frightened divine children the situation inside the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven.

"They've gone mad with killing!"

"The Hell Lotus Maiden… has completely gone mad with killing!"

……

One divine child after another appeared frenzied.

They survived by abandoning the Divine Concealment Order, and this was still under the condition that they had ample time to abandon the Divine Concealment Order.

Like those divine children chased by the Hell Lotus Maiden, they didn't even have a chance to abandon it before being directly blasted to death!

Massacre, a true massacre!

Watching divine children of the Divine Embryo and Divine Tribulation realms fall like cut wheat, one after another.

Bloodiness permeated the cave heaven, obscuring their vision.

These divine children couldn't help but develop a shadow in their hearts.

However, the ancient village strongmen who had been gathering news were utterly shocked.

Hell Lotus Maiden… is she opening a great slaughter in the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven?

Even the ace divine children of the ten major ancient villages have been killed!

How is this possible?!

……

……

The black bitter sea's waters rose in waves as the battle on the Seventh Island drew to a close.

The churning seawater slowly subsided, no longer reflecting the light-screen images.

This also means that the Divine Gamble War of the divine children on the first seven islands of the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven has come to a close, with results determined.

This "Bitter Sea Crossing the Hell Lotus" also ultimately ended.

Yet on the Seventh Island, many ancient village Divine Realm cultivators fell into silence, each not knowing what to say.

No one expected that this Bitter Sea Crossing the Hell Lotus would turn out like this.

They wanted the Hell Lotus Maiden to slaughter, but they didn't want her to slaughter in this manner.

The Hell Lotus Maiden is by nature synonymous with slaughter, a divine executioner bestowed by the will of heaven and earth, descended into the mortal realm.

Representing the will of heaven and earth, she wields her blade against all cultivators of the cosmos; even the immortal will meet their end because of the Hell Lotus Maiden!

But the premise for the Hell Lotus Maiden to embark on slaughter is……

The Hell Lotus Maiden has completely fallen, accepted the Hell Lotus curse, chosen to fuse with the curse's power, becoming a mad existence that knows only slaughter!

Having embarked on her destined fate, she is about to wield the executioner's great blade, slaying the immortal and ending the eighth divine tide!

But according to the images reflected by the bitter sea, the Hell Lotus Maiden…… has not fallen, has not accepted the Hell Lotus curse, yet she still carried out a terrifying bloody massacre!

Splash—

On the island, all the divine spirits fell silent, their bodies slightly trembling, a suppressed fury and terrifying aura constantly undulating.

Buzz—

The transmission formation on the Seventh Island suddenly flashed with light.

Then, everyone's gaze gathered upon the transmission platform formed after arranging many Buddhist niches.

Space twisted, gradually undulating with the regulatory power of the Spatial Great Dao.

Afterwards, five figures emerged.

At the moment they appeared, a terrifying bloody smell surged forth like waves, piercingly intense, as if a sea of blood overturned with a boom!

The powerful beings present were all existences of the Divine Spirit Realm; their Divine Spirit thoughts were extremely strong, and their souls were tenacious.

Yet at this moment, they couldn't help but tremble, as if they had seen an extremely terrifying purgatory scene.

Whoosh—

A gentle breeze brushed past.

Li Che had his hands behind his back, his eyes shining brightly, and the corner of his mouth involuntarily curled into a slight arc.

A Flying Thunder chess piece had been left on Xixi; since there was no domain barrier separating them, Li Che could naturally clearly discern her current situation.

He also guessed that Xixi should have known his identity, and at this moment she was filled with excitement, wanting to come and reunite with him.

The embroidered golden lotus on his black robe fluttered loudly, and Li Che's eyes shone brightly.

Hum—

When the spatial fluctuations completely settled down.

Streams of powerful Divine Spirit thoughts, as if sweeping up a howling gale, surged toward the teleportation platform, making space seem to freeze; each Divine Spirit seemed like a mountain, pressing down so that the children emerging could hardly breathe.

Every ancient village Divine Spirit had an unpleasant expression.

No one expected that only five divine children would persist to reach the Seventh Island.

Not a single one of the top divine children from the Ten Great Ancient Villages had managed to persist this far.

Even, basically they had all been wiped out.

Those who managed to survive, abandon the Divine Gamble, and teleport out of the cave heaven were precisely those ancient village divine children of low rank.

The losses are devastating!

Divine spirits gritted their teeth, especially those of the Ten Great Ancient Villages; they had sent Divine Spirit Realm cultivators to participate in the Thousand Villages Divine Gamble, all of whom were Merged Dao Realm Divine Spirits.

Their aura was even more terrifying, as if it could make heaven and earth change color.

The Great Dao Long River, like a flood dragon, continuously unfurled illusory shadows, swaying behind them, supporting a mighty and overwhelming momentum.

Xixi bore a pink Immortal Craft Gatling, upon which still lingered the hot currents from firepower bombardment, twisting and diffusing.

When the teleportation platform stabilized, Xixi immediately raised her head and shot out from within.

Her gaze swept over, and finally locked onto Li Che.

Because, Xixi immediately sensed from Li Che a rich and strong bloodline aura.

That was… the scent of kin!

Xixi's eyes instantly brightened, like two blazing suns!

Although Li Che had changed his appearance at this moment, disguising himself, Xixi instantly recognized his aura and demeanor.

Xixi's gaze lingered on Li Che.

Her small body trembled slightly, she pouted, and her longing exploded at this moment, finally being fulfilled!

The strong little girl, as if sensing the taste of a harbor, trembled all over with excitement.

"Teacher!"

However, two figures stepped ahead of Xixi, passing by her body.

They were precisely the divine children Yun Huang and Yun Lei of Yunxiao Village.

Especially Yun Huang, who deliberately walked in front, interrupting Xixi's unusual demeanor.

Xixi awoke as if from a dream; her eyes returned to calm, the aura of a child who had found reliance suddenly shifted, and she became arrogant and overbearing once again.

The five divine children stepped out of the teleportation array and walked toward Li Che.

Instantly, they attracted the attention of all Divine Spirits on the Seventh Island.

Of course, most Divine Spirits' gazes still fell on Xixi, after all, the identity of the Hell Lotus Maiden is still quite special.

The five children who reached the Seventh Island all seemed to be draped in hazy golden Buddhist robes, that being the immortal rule power of the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven taking effect.

This also suggests that on this Seventh Island, many Divine Spirits cannot and will not act against the Hell Lotus Maiden and others.

This is a power restriction, preventing Divine Spirits from acting against divine children and breaking the rules.

"Xixi, greetings to Master Mo Che!"

Xixi put away the Fire Spear and Qiankun Ring, and respectfully clasped her fists toward Li Che.

That awkward posture made Li Che feel amused inside, and he couldn't help wanting to burst out laughing.

"Thank you, disciple of Master Mo Che, for your generous assistance, helping us earth village divine children to turn the tide and gain new life!"

Xixi said while clasping her fists.

In fact, if not for the intervention of Yun Huang and Yun Lei, the earth village divine children would basically have been wiped out, and Tuoba Xiu and Tuoba Li would surely have died in the melee.

The divine children were too numerous, leaving no chance for Xixi and others to scheme or plan.

Unfortunately, they were ultimately educated by Xixi.

Under round after round of fire from the Immortal Craft Gatling, the only truth left across the ground was that the Hell Lotus Maiden… represents slaughter.

Even without a corrupted, fallen Hell Lotus Maiden, she can still be synonymous with slaughter!

Li Che smiled and nodded, his eyes strange.

Tuoba Xiu and Tuoba Li, the two earth village divine children, also approached.

Tuoba Li, being the elder sister, is relatively older and mature, somewhat similar to the pairing of Yun Huang and Yun Lei.

"Master Mo Che, we siblings, together with Xixi, represent the earth village in thanking you."

Tuoba Li was very mature, speaking with utmost respect.

Li Che smiled and shook his head: "The earth village is willing to shelter the Hell Lotus Maiden, willing to regard her as friend and family; my Yunxiao Village can likewise..."

"In this world, there are those who wish to force the Hell Lotus Maiden to corrupt and fall, and naturally there are also those who hope she can remain forever happy, untainted by mundane dust."

Li Che's words made Tuoba Li and Tuoba Xiu's faces grow increasingly respectful, almost bowing at a ninety-degree angle.

They sighed repeatedly, their eyes brimming with emotion.

They were truly moved, their hearts surging, even feeling an impulse of nose soreness.

After all, to protect the Prison Lotus maiden, their Earth Village is about to face a tremendous crisis.

The three major divine factions, along with the strong cultivators of the Two Saints Ancient Village, are preparing to move against Earth Village.

With such a lineup, only Earth Village guarded by a Nirvana divine spirit might be unable to withstand it, facing utter collapse.

Tuoba Li and Tuoba Xiu had already guessed it; they came this time to participate in the Thousand Village Divine Gambling Battle.

Possibly, Earth Village has already met its final end, with no chance of turning the tide.

At this moment, Xixi walked up to Li Che's face, her eyes rippling, her excited emotions impossible to conceal.

However, Xixi still understood the urgency and importance of the matter.

Grandfather Tuoba Ye had once told Xixi not to lightly reveal her parentage, for doing so might plunge her parents into boundless danger.

So, Xixi held back.

She did not wish her parents to suffer risk, so she suppressed the impulse to acknowledge them, becoming polite and very courteous.

Bowing at a ninety-degree angle, utterly sincere.

Li Che burst into a hearty laugh, seriously studying Xixi, looking at his own daughter.

"You've gotten thin..."

Li Che sighed softly.

Upon hearing those words, Xixi felt her whole body go numb, as if an electric current surged from the tip of her tailbone, lightning-fast, spreading to every bone.

Her eyes welled up with mist.

Though she was usually extraordinarily strong, upon seeing her father she seemed to become fragile in an instant.

Xixi pressed her lips, gazing firmly at Li Che; although his appearance now differed somewhat from her memory of her father, that familiar aura gave her an unparalleled sense of security.

Originally, upon entering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, she had been panicked and terrified, for facing the vast Nine Heavens and Ten Earths alone, confronting the gods by herself, naturally bearing boundless pressure.

Moreover, the three major divine factions, with a domineering posture, sought to harm everyone around her, to force her to fall, accept the Prison Lotus curse, and become a killing puppet of the will of heaven and earth…

But now that her father has arrived, a sense of safety allows the ever-tense Xixi to completely relax at this moment.

Precisely for this reason, Xixi's heart grows ever more reluctant to acknowledge Li Che, fearing it would implicate her parents and bring them a deadly calamity.

Li Che saw this in his eyes; his daughter growing more sensible left him with a feeling of unease.

"After all, I, as a father… am not strong enough."

Li Che reflected on himself in his heart, and a sharp killing intent began to stir in his eyes.

He must strive to become stronger, strong enough to contend with the immortal divine spirits; only then can he become his daughter's protector!

The surrounding divine spirits looked on coldly!

Their powerful aura pressed upon Li Che, completely surrounding him.

This divine spirit representing Yunxiao Village!

Li Che paid no heed to the surrounding gazes; his heart remained undisturbed.

Of the Ten Ancient Villages' Merging Dao cultivators, aside from the Xuanlei Village Merging Dao that Li Che had slain and transformed into a Bound God, there were nine Merging Dao divine spirits, who powerfully released their aura, pressing upon Li Che like towering mountains.

The fusion Dao of the ten ancient villages, except for the fusion Dao of Mysterious Thunder Village that Li Che had slain and transformed into a bound deity, there are also nine fusion Dao divine spirits, powerfully releasing their aura, pressing upon Li Che like a mountain.

A sound like an angry dragon's long howl echoed.

The Earth Village's divine spirit Tuoba Long shot forth like a cannonball, landing beside Li Che, his mighty aura rolling, his pair of angry eyes scanning all directions.

The divine spirit of Earth Village, Tuoba Long, shot out like a cannonball, landing beside Li Che; his mighty aura surged, a pair of angry eyes scanning all directions.

After Tuoba Long glared angrily in all directions, he cupped his fists toward Li Che.

Li Che smiled and returned the gesture.

Li Che was courteous toward all the Earth Village cultivators, for he thanked them for protecting Xixi.

Moreover, the Earth Village cultivators, because they shielded Xixi, now face a terrible crisis, about to be besieged by the three major divine factions, and possibly annihilated as a village.

Tuoba Long walked toward Xixi, gazing at Tuoba Li and Tuoba Xiu, his eyes softening considerably, his heart easing.

Tuoba Long walked toward Xixi, gazing at Tuoba Li and Tuoba Xiu; his eyes softened considerably, and he felt much more at ease.

Tuoba Long burst into laughter.

"Next… leave it to me!"

Xixi glanced at Li Che, then, with his nod, handed the Divine Treasure Command to Tuoba Long.

Yunhuang and Yunlei also handed over the Divine Treasure Commands they had obtained to Li Che.

The Divine Child Divine Gambling Battle basically ended here; next comes the Divine Realm Divine Gambling Battle.

Setting foot on the Ninth Island, atop the Spirit Mountain, allows the Divine Treasure Command to multiply, yielding boundless riches!

This is also the greatest opportunity of this Thousand Village Divine Gambling Battle!

This is also the greatest opportunity of this thousand-village divine gambling battle!

And after handing over the Divine Treasure Command,

Tuoba Long hesitated not at all; twisting his body, beneath his beast-skin garb lay terrifyingly piled muscles brimming with explosive power; letting out a long howl, he strode massive steps toward the transport platform!

Tuoba Long hesitated not at all, twisting his body; beneath his beast-skin garb, layers of terrifying muscles filled with explosive power, he let out a long roar and strode boldly toward the teleportation platform.

"Seize their Divine Treasure Commands, and we shall split them equally!"

The Merging Dao cultivators of the Ten Ancient Villages spoke coldly.

As soon as they spoke, they excluded the other villages' divine spirits from this contest for the Divine Treasure Commands.

However, the battle of the Merging Dao realm…

However, the battle in the Merged Dao Realm...

The Godfire Realm indeed cannot intervene; if one insists on intervening, they would only become cannon fodder, achieving a meaningless death!

Li Che clasped his hands behind his back, his black hair whipping like lightning, and he stepped forward toward the teleportation platform.

Xixi and the others watched, knowing they were protected by the rules and would come to no harm.

Thus, they watched the spectacle, feeling both excited and anxious.

Boom——!!!

Tuoba Long moved first, taking a step like an arrow leaving the bow, like a dragon leaping from the abyss, vanishing from the spot with inconceivable speed!

A resonant clang rang out as the Great Dao's divine patterns fell, weaving together into chains of order.

Great Dao rivers stretched across, their divine patterns intertwining, twisted into thick ropes, forming immensely thick chains that came crashing down.

This is the power of the Merged Dao Realm!

Compared to igniting Godfire, merely comprehending a single Dao's Godfire Realm is far weaker.

In the Merged Dao Realm, one comprehends the many different Dao essences within the same Great Dao river and achieves their mutual fusion, gaining power that increases geometrically.

Thus, the Merged Dao Realm can basically crush Godfire Realm spirit gods.

Someone like Li Che, who overcomes the Merged Dao Realm with Godfire, is truly rare!

Three Merged Dao spirit gods attacked together, shaking the entire island as if the earth moved and mountains swayed.

Tuoba Long halted instantly, roaring loudly; the intertwined Great Dao chains coiled around his thick arms as he thrust a punch forward, like a primordial python dragon bellowing and unleashing slaughter.

Boom——!!!

The battle of spirit gods is far stronger than the clashes between divine children.

The spreading shockwaves raged, intertwining and striking!

The three Merged Dao experts joined forces to block him, and Tuoba Long was temporarily restrained, forced to exert his full strength.

Mainly, these Merged Dao spirit gods are not weak; they come from the Ten Ancient Villages, their inheritance on par with Tuoba Long's, even somewhat higher.

Tuoba Long's body blazed with brilliant light, the divine patterns burning to the extreme, his qi and blood surging and boiling.

Meanwhile, Li Che stepped forth, ethereal and unworldly, with Godfire flickering behind him, divine radiance shimmering, auspicious light flowing, his whole person holy and transcendent.

Perhaps it was seeing his daughter, or perhaps because his daughter was besieged on the Front Six Islands, Li Che also felt a surge of vengeful anger in his heart.

Ripples in the void, six figures blazing like scorching suns, blocked Li Che's path.

In the distance.

Xixi, Yun Huang, Yun Lei, and the others had faces tense beyond measure.

Even Xixi, not knowing how much her father had strengthened these days, naturally felt some anxiety.

They did not know that Li Che had already defeated a Merged Dao expert earlier.

At this moment, seeing six Merged Dao experts surrounding him, tension was inevitable.

"Six Merged Dao experts..."

"Don't test them one by one; let's all attack together."

Li Che smiled faintly, his black hair dancing wildly, each step leaving a footprint; the whole island seemed to generate a unique resonance, his body emanating a mighty pressure that surged and shook the soul.

His powerful physique seemed to burst forth with divine light!

Countless Great Dao divine patterns wove through his flesh, covering his body; Li Che's physique now is a Holy Body, and even without transforming into a Martial Immortal state, it is extremely domineering and powerful.

"Brother, you have great courage."

"No wonder he could defeat Lei Cang of Xuanlei Village."

A radiant Merged Dao expert spoke.

Then, this Merged Dao expert erupted with divine aura, and in the void a rope resembling a hornless dragon appeared, black light brilliant, lashing toward Li Che to bind him!

Once someone made a move, the others quickly followed.

Li Che's strength is undeniable; having defeated the Merged Dao expert Lei Cang of Xuanlei Village, they dare not underestimate him.

A thunderbolt exploded!

Yet, Lei Cang, who had been far away, somehow arrived at full force and blocked the hornless dragon–like divine weapon rope.

The thunderbolt exploded, engulfing that Merged Dao expert unawares!

"Lei Cang?!"

"Are you crazy?!"

This Merged Dao expert clearly did not expect Lei Cang to intervene, and even his first move was an all‑out assault.

Lei Cang spoke no word, his battle spirit surging!

"When I previously lost to him, why didn't you intervene?"

Lei Cang said coldly.

Damn!

What kind of logic is that!

That Merged Dao expert, ambushed and injured, feeling frustrated, you should have called for support back then!

【223】 What's the point of Monday‑morning quarterbacking now?

What's the point of doing a Monday-morning quarterback now?

Li Che, however, gave a faint smile, his divine patterns intertwining fully activated, his spine trembling, his bones and tendons ringing!

Upon the back of a raging dragon howling to the nine heavens, blood‑qi vortices burst forth, terrifying divine energy boiling and churning within them like a vast sea raising waves.

It was as if eight seas of divine energy exploded simultaneously!

The sea burst its banks, flooding out, causing Li Che's divine pressure to rise relentlessly.

Clearly only a Godfire Realm cultivator, yet the aura he exudes surpasses that of any Merged Dao expert!

However, reaching the Merged Dao Realm is no trivial feat.

One Merged Dao expert was blocked by Lei Cang, the remaining five continued to join forces.

One after another, Great Dao divine patterns were twisted into chains like braided ropes, the long river surged.

Five Dao Fusion cultivators long-whistled, their divinity bursting forth!

A Dao Fusion Divine Spirit stood in the void, drawing bow and shooting an arrow; the instant the bow was pulled, wind and thunder roared, an arrow transformed into a terrifying rainbow, bursting forth with the power of the Space Great Dao, entwined with lightning and demonic phantoms, extremely terrifying!

The void wailed, piercing sounds continuously exploding, manifestations of thunder and lightning bursting forth!

Li Che glanced, and behind him a qi-blood vortex exploded.

A crimson longbow fell into his hand; Li Che also drew the bow, and a bright phoenix's cry exploded, as if weeping, tears pouring onto the heavens!

Weeping Blood Immortal Phoenix Withering Glory Arrow!

A hazy light enveloped the arrow, which instantly shot forth, colliding with the opponent's exploding long rainbow arrow; the opponent's arrow was directly shattered.

That Dao Fusion cultivator was startled, never expecting Li Che to also be skilled in archery!

Displaying such overbearing archery!

He long-whistled, repeatedly drawing the bow, shooting out arrow after arrow.

The continuously exploding arrows quickly wore down Li Che's crimson arrow, as if stained with coughing blood.

But each time it was worn to the extreme, this arrow seemed to burst forth with endless vitality, reviving, overwhelmingly domineering!

Pfft!

Withering Glory Arrow, like a phoenix reborn in fire, pierced the shoulder of that Dao Fusion Divine Spirit, causing its blood to spill on the spot!

Li Che took a step, behind him a Time-Space Golden Wheel appeared, continuously turning!

His whole body vanished, flashing through the void, and already appeared beside that Dao Fusion Divine Presence!

The remaining four Dao Fusion cultivators had not yet reacted, just about to act.

Li Che clenched his fist, and a long blade flowing with time-space qi appeared in his hand.

Time and space seemed to freeze in an instant.

The remaining four Dao Fusion cultivators felt their bodies as if sinking into a mire.

When they roared in anger, the fused Great Dao divine patterns exploded, breaking free of their bonds.

Then they discovered, Li Che's single slash had already fallen.

"Saber of Time."

"Guiding the years like a heavenly blade, it cuts both spring and autumn and gods."

Pfft!

A single slash passed, time and space twisted, that bow-wielding Dao Fusion cultivator was shocked and angry.

Yet they discovered, the blade's light seemed to cut from past and future.

Clearly just one slash, but when it landed on him, it had already become three slashes.

Past, present, future—three slashes fell simultaneously.

That Dao Fusion cultivator was directly cut into three pieces, blood spraying the heavens, its Dao Fusion Divine Spirit's thought roaring skyward; Li Che coldly glanced, flicked his finger, and a thunder pellet formed by compressing annihilating heavenly thunder shot out.

In an instant, it annihilated and destroyed that Dao Fusion Divine Spirit's thought.

At this moment, the remaining four Dao Fusion Divine Spirits had just broken free from Li Che's Saber of Time.

"How… could it be this strong?!"

Too strong!

A Dao Fusion Divine Spirit was actually cut down so cleanly and swiftly!

In the distance!

Those watching Xixi all went numb, a familiar feeling…

It really is Father!

It's definitely Father, no doubt, just as overbearing as ever!

"He's grown stronger, grown much stronger… can't catch up, absolutely can't catch up."

Yun Huang and Yun Lei, as Li Che's disciples, looked bewildered.

Their teacher is actually this strong?!

Dao Fusion Divine Spirits are said to be slain at a word?

"Join forces! Don't give him a chance to pick them off one by one!"

The remaining four Ancient Village Dao Fusion cultivators roared, their scalps tingling, both shocked and angry!

Li Che stepped forward, his blade light shimmering, the Lone Thousand Mountains Slash Void Sword… accompanied by the power of the Primordial Wind Tribulation, making his whole body seem as elusive as wind.

Like a gust of wind blowing, he crossed thousands of mountains and myriad waters!

"Where do you think you're going?!"

The sky exploded, flames poured like a waterfall!

Countless fire runes spun, an Ancient Village Dao Fusion cultivator waved his fists, illuminating the heavens, attacking fiercely!

Perhaps due to the intimidation from Li Che's domineering slaying of Dao Fusion cultivators, the four Dao Fusion cultivators almost stayed together, not daring to spread too far!

Capable of achieving the swiftest reinforcement!

Sword qi burst forth, like a rainbow surging, shooting across the sky!

A Dao Fusion cultivator raised a treasure vessel, within which seemed to revolve heaven-earth ancient symbols, spraying forth dense sword qi!

Another Dao Fusion cultivator's demonic qi soared to the heavens, like a peerless fierce beast piercing the firmament, swinging down to smash the divine mountain with a terrifying claw!

Buzz——!!!

Under siege, Li Che's eyes turned cold, his spine cracked, and an angry dragon's long howl rang out!

Eight Mystic Doors Immortal Seeds exploded with a boom!

His hair flew wildly, his demeanor underwent a violent change, like ancient gods and demons revived, his gaze extremely sharp and intimidating!

Ancestral Dragon Slaughter Technique!

Innumerable thunderbolts burst from Li Che's fleshly body, the previous means of dealing with Lei Cang reappeared!

But this time, Li Che executed it after detonating the Eight Odd Gates Immortal Seeds!

This Immortal Seed martial art was nearly pushed to the extreme!

The Ancestral Dragon Slaughter Technique was learned from the Young Dragon Emperor; it is the Immortal Dragon Emperor's slaughter art!

At this moment, displayed by Li Che, it was as if a true Ancestral Dragon had descended.

On the Seventh Island, a cyan‑blue Ancestral Dragon suddenly loomed!

Puff puff puff puff——!!!

The four Dao‑Fused Divine Spirits all coughed blood, shooting out in all directions, blown backward by Li Che's strike!

"This is… the Ancestral Dragon Slaughter Technique?!"

"Is this person related to the ancient dragon lineage?! This art can only be mastered by the Immortal Dragon Emperor!"

"Immortal Dragon Emperor… could he be secretly aiding the Prison Lotus Maiden?!"

The four Dao‑Fused from the Ten Great Ancient Villages were greatly shocked.

And many divine spirits watching from afar also recognized Li Che's move; in the next instant, their expressions all changed.

They rushed toward the transmission platform, intending to teleport away and spread the news!

Li Che naturally paid no heed to this.

He had grasped the Primordial Tribulation, fused it with Martial Dao, making it profoundly mysterious.

Although it is a divine body, it cannot achieve the flawless, smooth realization of profound changes like a Profound Immortal.

But when it comes to slaughter, its power is not diminished in the slightest.

Boom——!!!

The four Dao‑Fused coughed blood; after landing, they sprang up, divine power erupting, the Great Dao River severed, they exerted all their might to draw divine power onto themselves and charged at Li Che!

Li Che flicked his fingers repeatedly, six paths of sword light sweeping like a long rainbow.

Six Desires Void Sword Art!

Shuttle through the void, swift as startling thunder!

Combined with the Time Blade, sword and blade resonate, twin supremes soaring!

The four Dao‑Fused Divine Spirits were horrified, then their fleshly bodies were successively slashed and exploded!

Blood mist shrouded!

Black Annihilation Thunder Pellets, compressed to the extreme, filled with destructive aura—that is rule power of the Immortal level!

To them, it is an unsolvable level of power!

If they were Severing Dao cultivators, they could still rely on the collapse of Severing Dao patterns to break free.

But they are ultimately not Severing Dao.

Puff puff puff——

Divine Spirit thoughts annihilated in the void!

Flesh and blood exploded, combined with the divine light bursting from their divinity, like four clusters of colorful fireworks blooming above the Seventh Island!

Like a dream, like an illusion!

Xixi's eyes shone brightly.

She knew this was the fireworks show her father put on for her!

And the two disciples, Yun Huang and Yun Lei, trembled with excitement throughout their bodies.

Because, in Li Che's slaughter, they saw the martial arts their teacher had taught them, and witnessed the true power of those teachings!

Weeping Blood Immortal Phoenix Withering Glory Arrow, and the Ancestral Dragon Slaughter Technique!

They also gained insight!

Boom——!!!

Blood mist surged!

The Dao‑Fused far off who was initially heavily wounded was blown up by Lei Cang!

Tuoba Long drenched in blood, while the three Dao‑Fused he clashed with felt numb scalps and fled without hesitation.

And Tuoba Long fell into a dazed state.

What's the situation, brother?

He fought one against three and nearly got killed.

And Li Che, the Godfire Divine Spirit representing the central ancient village of the Five Elders, fighting one against five, just slaughtered them all?!

Tuoba Long gasped heavily, turning his head to look at Xixi's position.

His eyes were extremely complex.

Is this the power of the Prison Lotus Maiden's curse?!

Wherever he passed, blood flowed like rivers!

This divine wager of the thousand villages has been completely slaughtered through……

Truly, blood flows like rivers!
