Chapter 570: The Hundred‑Zhang Heavenly King's Origin Solely Claims Seventy Zhang, From Divine Craft

A Nirvana King's Heaven-and-Earth Origin!

When Ji Shaohao's words rang through the entire palace complex, the many Divine Eagle Holy Hands and Immortal Hands only felt a buzzing in their heads!

Each of them couldn't help but gasp.

The Dark Heavenly Court… really went all out!

For the many Divine Eagle Holy Hands and Immortal Hands, this is a once‑in‑a‑lifetime opportunity; being able to observe the Nirvana King's Heaven-and-Earth Origin is such a fortunate thing!

If they can successfully outline within the Divine Eagle and resonate with the Nirvana King's Origin, it would greatly aid and elevate their Divine Eagle techniques!

It could even, in one stroke, allow talented Divine Eagle Immortal Hands and Holy Hands to achieve a breakthrough in skill level!

It can be said that the Dark Heavenly Court, for this Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly, truly went all out, paying a huge price!

Of course, many feel some regret, that it's the Nirvana King's Heaven-and-Earth Origin, not the Heaven-and-Earth Origin of an immortal deity.

But it can be understood: an immortal deity is a supreme being; if their Origin truly appeared, the Divine Eagle Immortal Hands and Holy Hands present would actually be unable to reap any benefit.

Because they simply cannot withstand the power of an immortal deity's Origin!

Ji Shaohao's eyes shone brilliantly as he scanned the venue, seeing the excitement and joy on the faces of the Divine Eagle Immortal Hands and Holy Hands in every palace; a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

For the Qi Tian Divine Pill, the Dark Heavenly Court truly paid the price.

Ji Shaohao needs the Qi Tian Divine Pill; although Lord Lao Immortal is the immortal of the Dark Heavenly Court, a Pill of this caliber cannot be fully represented by Lord Lao Immortal alone.

Hei Xumi and Tian Buxiu of the Strange Demon Cave will also intervene.

After dividing and refining the Qi Tian, the resulting Divine Pill is split, so even Lord Lao Immortal cannot obtain the majority of the Pill.

For the Dark Heavenly Court to obtain the Pill, it still depends on how many of the selected Divine Eagle Immortal Hands are among the eighty‑one formation Divine Eagle Immortal Hands.

The more they occupy, the more Divine Pills they naturally receive.

This is a grand event sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

Such a grand event cannot be completely controlled by a single faction.

Li Che sat upright at the palace table, his jet‑black hair flashing like lightning; throughout the palace, the other five Divine Eagle Holy Hands seated at the other tables were all extremely excited.

Even Cang Yuan was excited for Li Che!

"Brother Cang Che! The Nirvana King's Heaven-and-Earth Origin—if you can comprehend and capture it, Brother Cang Che's Divine Eagle technique will receive a great boost, and even grasping the Origin will greatly aid your strength!"

Cang Yuan is too excited!

Mainly because the hope of Cang Lan Village now rests on Li Che.

Although Li Che is not the real Cang Che, he now represents Cang Che, and that is already enough for Cang Lan Village!

Cang Yuan knows that Li Che's Divine Eagle technique is already far stronger than his village's Cang Che; with this assistance, he truly might have a chance to rise into the ten Immortal Hand slots of Xuan Xiao Tian!

Li Che merely smiled, his expression very calm.

The Nirvana King's Origin… is not particularly rare.

Mainly because Li Che has even witnessed a true immortal Origin, he naturally doesn't care much about the King's Origin.

However, this King's Origin gave Li Che an opportunity and excuse to transform from a Holy Hand into an Immortal Hand.

It is a feast, a revelry.

The many Divine Eagle Holy Hands who rushed to join this selection are the most excited, for they may have a chance to ascend to the Immortal Hand realm by leveraging the King's Heaven-and-Earth Origin.

Clearly, Li Che is not the only one with this thought.

Boom!

Ji Shaohao's powerful aura spread, and within the palace clusters surrounding Xuan Mountain, divine beings of the Cutting Path instantly surged skyward.

"Silence!"

"Now, everyone, begin carving the King's Divine Eagle statue!"

"The time limit is eight hours; exceeding eight hours means disqualification!"

Ji Shaohao stated the final rule.

Then he waved his hand grandly.

Subsequently, the priests of the Dark Heavenly Court who had long been waiting in the palace took out the divine wood they had prepared for the many Divine Eagle Holy Hands and Immortal Hands to choose from.

To ensure fairness, the Dark Heavenly Court provided everyone with a divine wood—a lower‑tier Sanqing divine wood, the Ten‑Thousand‑Year Fire Mulberry Wood.

Li Che obtained this divine timber; the divinity within it is truly abundant, and this kind of divine wood has long been divided and occupied by the three major divine camps.

For ordinary ancient villages, seeking it in deep mountains has become extremely difficult.

Cang Yuan retreated early to the side, yielding his spot to Li Che.

In the same palace building, the other five Divine Eagle Holy Hands also selected Ten‑Thousand‑Year Fire Mulberry Wood.

All Ten‑Thousand‑Year Fire Mulberry Wood is the same, yet naturally there are differences and gaps; variations in placement and preservation lead to quality disparities.

A Divine Eagle Holy Hand from a lower‑tier Sanqing ancient village, looking rather young, had long harbored dislike for Li Che; a mid‑level Four Guardians Divine Eagle Holy Hand, apparently knows no rules.

After they entered the palace, they didn't even cast a glance, showing no reverence for rank.

Thus, this Divine Eagle Holy Hand lifted the Fire Mulberry wood with one hand and walked toward Li Che's position.

"Cang Lan Village? I don't like this piece of wood; I have my eye on the one in your hand, let's swap."

A faint voice came from this lower‑tier Sanqing ancient village Divine Eagle Holy Hand.

Cang Yuan, who had retreated to the palace edge, suddenly changed expression and tried to step forward, but before getting close, Li Che raised his hand to stop him.

Li Che shifted his gaze from the Fire Mulberry wood to the Divine Eagle Holy Hand.

"You…"

The Divine Eagle Holy Hand tried to say something, but the words got stuck.

A chilling terror that made his hair stand on end instantly spread over his body.

Just meeting Li Che's eyes, he broke into a cold sweat.

It seemed a deathly threat instantly enveloped his body.

The Divine Eagle Holy Hand then intended to turn and leave.

However, a black vortex instantly materialized; as he had just turned, his figure was immediately swallowed by the black vortex and vanished without a trace.

This scene caused the other four Holy Hands in the palace to become instantly startled and uncertain.

What's happening?

Why did he suddenly disappear?

Is this noticing something amiss and fleeing at once?

But before everyone could recover, the black vortex reappeared, and the Holy Hand that had vanished reemerged.

His expression no longer bore any disrespect or provocation.

He bowed with awe and reverence toward Li Che, then retreated to his own desk, exceedingly obedient, daring not to cause any trouble.

Cang Yuan stared dumbfounded, "Is this even possible?"

He knew that the black vortex was Li Che's technique, meaning that the Holy Hand from the Three Pure Ancient Village, after being drawn into the vortex and experiencing something unknown inside, emerged unusually obedient.

Moreover, Cang Yuan saw a hint of… fanaticism in his eyes!

How could such fanaticism appear in the eyes of a Divine Eagle Holy Hand?!

What exactly did he go through inside?

But in such a brief time, what could he have encountered?

Li Che indeed did nothing complicated; he simply transformed that provocative Holy Hand into his most devout bound spirit.

Li Che has never been a kind soul; when the other party provoked him and threatened his plan, he naturally gave no pleasant expression.

He dragged him into Ink City Fengdu and dealt with him directly.

As the Divine Eagle Holy Hand of the Three Pure Ancient Village was dealt with by Li Che, the other Divine Eagle Holy Hands also sensed something amiss, realizing that Canglan Village was likely a solid iron plate.

Thus, the many Holy Hands fell silent, each beginning to sketch the form of a Divine Eagle on fire mulberry wood with their bare hands, tracing it in their minds.

For some reason, merely looking toward Li Che's direction gave a sense of imminent death.

Better to focus on carving; only carving can grant them a moment of peace and warmth.

Li Che smiled lightly, his expression calm, and did not begin carving the Divine Eagle immediately, instead sketching the form like everyone else.

After all, the official start of carving still required Ji Shaohao's proclamation.

He paid no mind to this interruption; his current goal is to finish the carving, successfully enter the Thus: Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly, for only then can he hope to rescue the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Temple deity.

Therefore, Li Che had no desire to scheme against these Divine Eagle Holy Hands.

His gaze swept and landed on the Heavenly King Earth-and-Heaven Origin towering a hundred zhang at the center of the palace arena.

There are indeed many such origins, for a single Nirvana Heavenly King can hardly condense much Earth-and-Heaven Origin, incomparable to the Immortal.

Thus, this hundred‑zhang Earth-and-Heaven Origin can be said to be a product of massive hemorrhage.

Li Che was naturally pleased; he had already tasted the benefits of Earth-and-Heaven Origin.

The reason his Divine Craft Dao Fruit could achieve the Seven Metamorphoses is largely due to refining and subduing Earth-and-Heaven Origin.

Li Che was actually quite curious about Earth-and-Heaven Origin.

Even if it were only the Nirvana Heavenly King's Earth-and-Heaven Origin.

The entire palace group quickly fell silent, and all Divine Eagle Immortal Hands and Holy Hands began to study the Heavenly King's Earth-and-Heaven Origin.

The hundred‑zhang Earth-and-Heaven Origin was dazzlingly brilliant, emitting a warm glow.

As the Divine Eagle carving took shape, it would gradually resonate with the Earth-and-Heaven Origin, then draw it out and fuse it into the Divine Eagle.

Whose Divine Eagle resonated and extracted more Earth-and-Heaven Origin indicated the results of this selection.

The rules are fair and simple, yet execution is not easy; carving a statue that resonates with the Heavenly King's Origin is far from simple.

The many Divine Eagle Masters' observation of the Earth-and-Heaven Origin did not last long, and the palace's silence was soon shattered.

Accompanied by the thunderous blast of the Divine Weapon ancient bell that Ji Shaohao offered.

The bell's waves rolled outward like tides, spreading rapidly.

All Divine Eagle Masters in the palace arena lit up with bright eyes, their spirits soaring.

One by one, the Divine Eagle Masters, bare‑handed, made a move, and the sharp clanging rang incessantly, as if the void itself were being continuously sliced apart!

In each palace, dazzling blades of Divine Weapon carving knives whooshed out, flashing brilliant sword light!

The scene resembled tens of thousands of blades dancing wildly, an extremely spectacular sight!

Some cultivators who had gathered at Xuan Mountain merely to observe this Divine Eagle Grandmaster Assembly were dazzled and bewildered!

Li Che's carving knife was rather plain, lacking much dazzling brilliance.

Li Che placed little demand on the carving knife, for his strong confidence in his own skill meant he cared little about the knife's qualities.

If he truly required a carving knife, Li Che could simply take out a Three‑Point Double‑Edge Blade and use it as a carving knife.

The Three‑Point Double‑Edge Blade, though a Divine Weapon of Three‑Pure rank, has an extraordinary provenance.

The Three‑Eyed Mysterious Dao Manifest Saint True Lord, naturally sharing the same origin as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, is likewise extraordinary.

However, the Guiyi Miao of the Three‑Eyed Mysterious Dao Manifest Saint True Lord now stands peacefully among the mortal world, whereas the Third Prince and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven have had different experiences.

Li Che's movements were neither hurried nor flamboyant; he did not flaunt his Divine Weapon carving knife, standing in stark contrast to the various grand gestures of the other Divine Eagle Masters.

His gaze withdrew from that Heavenly King Origin.

"This Nirvana Heavenly King follows the Flame Path Earth-and-Heaven Origin…"

Li Che shook his head slightly; though this Nirvana King had traversed the Nine‑Underworld life‑and‑death path, he likely has no chance in this life to ascend to Immortality.

Because in the present age there exists an Immortal who walks the Flame Path Earth-and-Heaven Origin.

That Immortal is the Old Lord.

Thus, the Nirvana Heavenly King's path is completely blocked.

One mountain cannot host two tigers; one path cannot yield two Immortals.

"Perhaps, precisely because of this, the Nirvana Heavenly King would offer his own primordial source of Heaven and Earth to cooperate with Ji Shaohao, the Young Emperor… that can be considered a kind of positioning."

Li Che shook his head slightly.

He did not ponder these; in his mind he began to outline the method of carving.

Li Che slowly closed his eyes; within the inner landscape of his dantian, the seven orifices' exquisite heart resonated and vibrated, leaping incessantly.

By perceiving the primordial source of Heaven and Earth, he constructed the image of that Heavenly King in his mind.

Then Li Che opened his eyes, exhaled, grasped his ordinary carving knife, and prepared to begin carving.

At this moment, in the palace venue, most Divine Eagle masters had already started wielding their knives.

Buzz—

Even the most ordinary carving knife, the instant it struck the fire mulberry wood, burst forth with brilliant light.

Boom—!

The razor‑sharp blade, the moment it cut the fire mulberry wood, seemed to spray countless sparks, dazzling to the extreme!

Throughout the palace complex, every hall was ablaze with flames.

Ji Shaohao and the Divine Eagle Immortal Zhao Yuan sat upright in the central hall, scanning the entire venue with a superb perspective.

As a Divine Eagle Immortal, Zhao Yuan's cultivation was impressive; he was a Nirvana king who had progressed to the later stage of the Nine Nether Death Path, not far from reaching its end and ascending to the Heavenly King realm.

Moreover, Zhao Yuan's craftsmanship gave him a high standing within the Dark Heavenly Court.

Scanning the venue, a hint of disappointment appeared on Zhao Yuan's face.

"Young Emperor, to be frank, our Dark Heavenly Court lags considerably behind Heisu Mi and the Strange Demon Cave in the Divine Eagle arts…"

"Securing a large number of slots at this Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly is far too difficult."

Zhao Yuan sighed.

Ji Shaohao replied helplessly, "There's no way around it; Heisu Mi's Buddha carvings are famous, the Buddha's teachings are spread, and golden Buddha statues stand everywhere in the Buddha lands."

"Over at the Strange Demon Cave, Wa Huang, one of the Two Emperors, has taken the art of carving to the extreme."

"Our Dark Heavenly Court's Divine Eagle path lags at the Immortal level; we are naturally outmatched, but this Qi Tian Divine Pill is crucial. Its extraordinary origin and the pill it refines might help me easily break the seal of the will of Heaven and Earth and condense my own primordial source of Heaven and Earth…"

Ji Shaohao's eyes glimmered faintly, "The Prison Lotus Maiden has already ascended to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; the eighth Divine Tide could end at any moment…"

"I have no time left; I must seize the moment to strike the Immortal…"

"Therefore, I must obtain a share of a Qi Tian Divine Pill."

Ji Shaohao hadn't expected the urgency to arrive so swiftly.

According to experiences from previous lives, when the Prison Lotus Maiden ascends to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, slaughter will commence, the Immortal will soon face calamity, and likewise the Divine Tide will begin to subside…

Thus, Ji Shaohao was in a hurry.

Not only Ji Shaohao, but Fu Shaoxi, Shi Shaojia, and the Young Emperor of the Two Saints Ancient Village were equally anxious.

During the brief idle chat between the two.

Within a hall, a booming burst sound erupted.

A surge of flames burst forth like a tide!

The fire mulberry wood exploded; a Wood Carving Holy Hand, while attempting to resonate with the Heavenly King's source, could not contain the source's power and blew up the carving.

That commotion immediately drew the attention of many Divine Eagle masters.

As if a precedent had been set, flames sporadically erupted throughout the palace complex, dazzling like fireworks.

Each firework burst signified a Divine Eagle master's carving explosion, the fire mulberry wood being completely ruined and no longer usable for carving.

Li Che glanced once, then withdrew his gaze, finding nothing surprising.

Is the primordial source of Heaven and Earth really so easy to resonate with?

It is a domineering force, incompatible with this world's will of Heaven and Earth; once introduced into a carving and unable to be suppressed, it will burst open under internal and external clash.

Therefore, in this carving, the key is to suppress the source within the wood carving while resonating with it.

And this is merely the first hurdle.

But this is the difficulty every participating wood carver must face.

Because outlining a rough carving on fire mulberry wood requires establishing a resonant link with the Heavenly King's primordial source of Heaven and Earth.

……

……

The carving knife flashed with firelight, slashing a chunk of fire mulberry wood shavings that danced wildly in the air like burning flames.

In Li Che's hall, only one Divine Eagle Holy Hand remained, having persisted until now.

However, after a resonance failure and inability to suppress the source, he also blew up his carving, ending the work with a dust‑covered, disheveled appearance, and left the hall reluctantly.

Aside from the Divine Eagle Holy Hand that Li Che restrained, the other four Holy Hands watched Li Che with complex expressions.

To date, the Divine Eagle masters who have succeeded in resonance are almost exclusively Divine Eagle Immortal Hands, long‑standing veterans famed in Xuanxiao Heaven.

It seems the Divine Eagle Holy Hands have been completely wiped out.

"He hasn't even blown up his carving yet? That's unreasonable…"

"Both are Holy Hands; why does he manage to persist until now?"

"It seems he's about to succeed… his rough carving is complete, and he's about to begin building resonance with the source!"

……

One's own failure is certainly regrettable, but the opponent's success is even more despairing.

Buzz buzz buzz—

The carving knife swept across the fire mulberry wood, shavings fell onto the wood on the table, successfully outlining a humanoid figure.

The primordial source of Heaven and Earth standing in the central area began to tremble, then a strand of fiery rainbow withdrew from the source.

Like a wandering serpent spanning the sky, it poured into Li Che's hall.

The flame river poured down from above the divine eagle crude embryo's head, then completed the resonance construction.

At this moment, within the palace complex, one after another flame silk thread was constructed upon the Heavenly King's heaven-and-earth origin.

It was like building a pipeline, preparing for the subsequent absorption of the origin.

Therefore, Li Che's successfully built flame river did not attract much attention.

Only the Divine Eagle Saint Hands within the palace noticed Li Che's success.

Time trickled away.

As the carving deepened, fine detailing began, and various details emerged.

For every additional detail, one could guide and absorb an extra fraction of the Heavenly King's heaven-and-earth origin.

However, Divine Eagle Immortal Hands sometimes cannot suppress the heaven-and-earth origin poured into the divine eagle, causing the fire mulberry wood to explode outright, achieving the explosion sculpture achievement.

Within the palace complex, fire-light explosions kept occurring.

With each explosion, a Divine Eagle Immortal Hand would curse and walk out of the palace.

Originally, the palace complex had risen over a hundred flame rivers constructed with the Heavenly King's origin, but with constant breakage, now only about thirty remain.

Seated in the central palace, Great Immortal Zhao Yuan crossed his arms, shook his head, and said: "This situation is worse than imagined..."

"Our Dark Heavenly Court's Divine Eagle Immortal Hands are too unskilled…… Those Immortal Hands capable of keeping the Heavenly King Divine Eagle from exploding are probably fewer than ten……"

Ji Shaohao's face also sank into solemnity.

"However, resonating with heaven-and-earth origin is also beneficial for many Divine Eagle Immortal Hands, even enhancing their skills……"

"Please trouble the Great Immortal to take a look; if there is a talented Divine Eagle Immortal Hand, even if he shatters the divine eagle statue, he can still be kept."

Ji Shaohao said.

Great Immortal Zhao Yuan nodded; that was all he could do.

Suddenly.

Great Immortal Zhao Yuan's gaze swept over, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and his originally lazy arms-crossed posture straightened instantly, his eyes flashing with a hint of splendid light.

"This is……"

"A Divine Eagle Saint Hand?"

"One Divine Eagle Saint Hand…… actually held on until now?!"

Zhao Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

Zhao Yuan's change of attitude made Ji Shaohao freeze for a moment; following his gaze, he saw within a palace a divine eagle resonance origin that had constructed a flame river.

Although it was much weaker than the flame rivers of other Immortal Hands, at least so far it had not exploded or been damaged, nor had the carving failed.

"A Divine Eagle Saint Hand?!"

"Indeed!"

"A Divine Eagle Saint Hand can actually hold on until now?"

Ji Shaohao had thought the Divine Eagle Saint Hands had been completely wiped out!

"Genius?!"

"Dark horse?!"

At this moment, Li Che's presence also drew the attention of many Divine Eagle Masters whose carving had failed.

They murmured in astonishment that a Divine Eagle Saint Hand could actually hold on until now!

"It is indeed a Divine Eagle Saint Hand…… however, its art is being bolstered by heaven-and-earth origin, transforming toward Immortal Hand, and will soon reach the Immortal Hand level."

"Excellent talent, this carving technique is truly steady; the carving fundamentals are so stable and perfect that there is not the slightest mistake."

Great Immortal Zhao Yuan's eyes lit up.

Ji Shaohao's interest piqued: "Are you about to become a Divine Eagle Immortal Hand?"

"It seems…… my request for a Heavenly King's heaven-and-earth origin really does have some effect."

"No, already a Divine Eagle Immortal Hand……"

"Although he has just broken through to Divine Eagle Immortal Hand, this child might not lack the possibility of surpassing other Immortal Hands!"

"However, breaking through to Immortal Hand at this time is not good…… because once broken through, mastery of the art will deviate, making mistakes easy."

Great Immortal Zhao Yuan commented.

"Besides, the most important point is that before and after breaking through, the art changes, and the details of the carved divine eagle also differ; that difference in detail…… will cause the statue before and after to be vastly different, leading the suppressed heaven-and-earth origin to find a breach."

"Besides, this breach will also become the direction in which the heaven-and-earth origin of the Heavenly King standing in the field rushes……"

Zhao Yuan's words fell.

Indeed, the flame river before the palace where Li Che was began to tremble violently.

The hundred-zhang Heavenly King origin in that field actually began to rush swiftly toward the palace where Li Che was.

Then, this caused a situation where the head of the flame river bulged out abruptly.

It felt as if it could not bear it and was about to explode!

Li Che naturally also noticed this, but he did not pay much attention to it.

With such a massive surge of heaven-and-earth origin flowing in, Li Che's expression showed a hint of solemnity and drenched sweat, but his mind remained calm as an ancient well, everything under control.

Standing at the edge of the palace, Cang Yuan had his heart already in his throat, his whole body sweating, even more nervous than Li Che.

And the abnormality of the heaven-and-earth origin naturally drew the attention of many Divine Eagle Immortal Hands still carving.

Their robes fluttered, the radiant carving knives bursting with divine light turned over, their gazes swept over, and they saw a Divine Eagle Saint Hand guiding such a vast heaven-and-earth origin.

"A Divine Eagle Saint Hand breaking through to Immortal Hand, forging a new path, attracting a large amount of Heavenly King origin……"

"Nor does it fear directly bursting itself."

"Hehe, a newcomer who has just broken through to Immortal Hand has the courage of a newborn calf unafraid of tigers; since that's the case…… I'll help you."

For a moment, many Immortal Hands seemed to reach a consensus, and the carving speed in their hands all slowed down.

Their flame river, in an instant, seemed as if it had been drawn away, becoming slender.

The portion that was drawn away surged entirely toward the flame river where Li Che was.

"These divine eagle immortal hands… no matter how the new immortal hands leap, they're fanning the fire."

Zhao Yuan Da Xian shook his head, clearly dissatisfied.

Ji Shaohao also wore a cold expression: "The Dark Heavenly Court's divine eagle immortal hands… their skill is lacking, but they are exceedingly adept at internal strife and fanning fire."

"They focus on nothing but not properly studying their techniques, each one constantly fighting each other."

Zhao Yuan Da Xian helplessly: "This new immortal hand is probably going to fail; now there are about twenty‑five immortal hands left in the field, and he will now detonate the statue…"

"Even if his talent is decent, he detonates too fast, and later there's no way to raise him into the top ten."

Zhao Yuan said this, but soon sensed something was wrong.

"Huh? Why hasn't it detonated yet?"

He had already begun to think how to promote this outstanding divine eagle immortal hand, who broke through in battle, into Ji Shaohao's team.

He also suddenly froze, rose abruptly from the palace, and looked toward that palace direction.

He then saw the flame river swell, instantly becoming about ten times thicker.

The terrifying roar of the flame, like a volcanic eruption!

However, within that palace, the detonation of the statue had still not occurred.

The divine eagle immortal hand who broke through in battle actually withstood such pressure!

Now even Zhao Yuan Da Xian could not sit still.

Many divine eagle immortal hands also showed slight changes in expression, each almost halting their carving actions, looking toward the direction where Li Che was.

Now the flame river where Li Che stands, the Hundred‑Zhang Heavenly King Origin, occupies roughly seventy zhang!

Ordinary divine eagle immortal hands simply cannot endure it; they will inevitably detonate the statue!

However…

This newly promoted divine eagle immortal hand, who just broke through and even showed inconsistencies in technique, surprisingly withstood this pressure!

This person… won't they try to claim all these Heavenly King Origins, will they?!

And at this very moment.

Li Che's jet‑black hair whirled wildly, while his eyes radiated an ultimate brilliant glow.

The carving knife in his hand fluttered, conjuring countless illusory shadows, continuously slicing over the fire mulberry wood divine eagle like flowing water; divine light glittered, fire flared, like phoenix feathers falling in flame, burning endlessly!

Looking at the immensely thick flame river, Li Che's lips curved into a slight smile.

Just worried about not knowing how a newly promoted immortal hand could enter the top ten…

Since you dare to give!

He naturally accepted it without hesitation!

Take a good feel of the dimensional‑reducing strike from the Seven Metamorphoses of Immortal Craft!

When the final blade of light sweeps across!

The carving knife spun circles in Li Che's palm, then Li Che sheathed it.

With a whoosh!

A sheet of fire rain scattered!

The immensely thick flame river, spanning the sky.

It turned out to be completely devoured by a fiery‑red divine eagle.
