Chapter 594

Li Che underwent a transformation, and after stepping onto the fusion of the four Dao, his physical strength was greatly enhanced and increased!

In Li Che's understanding, the fusion of Dao is actually comparable to the Slaying Dao Divine Spirit within the Dao of Divinity.

However, unlike the Slaying Dao Divine Spirit, one cuts off the Dao's shackles, while the fusion of Dao merges the Dao into oneself; the two belong to a completely different cultivation method.

But the enhancements they bring are equally intense.

Li Che has now transformed into a total of eight Dao vessels, each representing a great Dao river, which is the Dao opened up by the Dao fruit and can be used for Dao fusion.

Among them, the Martial Dao river is the foundation, and with the Spiritual Dao as lubricant, the various Dao are merged.

Li Che, who has been integrated, has already fused three Dao, while the Spiritual Dao serving as lubricant is actually not counted; thus, Li Che still needs to fuse only three Dao!

This means he has completed more than half of the Dao fusion!

For Li Che, this is naturally a great improvement!

Therefore, the enhancement of his physical load-bearing capacity also strengthens his ability to withstand when using the Heaven-Earth Dao Body.

Thus, in one breath, Li Che directly summoned three Heaven-Earth Dao Bodies.

Because the slaughter of a single Heaven-Earth Dao Body cannot break the protective phantom summoned by the burning of Ji Shao Hao's imperial blood that surrounds him!

Since one cannot break it, add two more; the phantoms of three Heaven-Earth Dao Bodies stand side by side, and throwing punches together will naturally blast it apart!

This is equivalent to having three existences at the level of Nirvana Heavenly Kings simultaneously, burning everything and unleashing the strongest punch, which smashes Ji Shao Hao's imperial blood phantom!

Boom—

The terrifying eruptive force spreads out in ripple-like waves.

Ji Shao Hao's expression instantly turned extremely grim, and his eyes filled with horror.

Crack—crack—

The bursting sound reverberated, and the powerful shockwave began to spread inward.

Ji Shao Hao's entire body was scoured by the terrifying impact force; his golden armor shattered, his body trembled, and his strong young emperor's flesh allowed him to withstand this impact!

But Ji Shao Hao's heart sank completely to the bottom of the valley!

Bang——!!!

The terrifying explosion blossomed magnificently from within Mo City Fengdu!

Ring-shaped ripple shockwaves spread from the explosion's center, swallowed by endless splendid light; the silent explosion and annihilation gradually spread outward, engulfing the debris on the ground, bit by bit destroying the entire Mo City Fengdu!

This destructive power is truly too terrifying!

It exceeds the load limit of Mo City Fengdu!

Li Che's whole body burst forth with brilliant golden light; the three Dao rivers danced wildly, projecting three supreme phantoms, as if walking out of past and future ages, utterly powerful, he clenched his fists and threw punches to annihilate everything!

This is an unmatchable power!

At this moment, Ji Shao Hao's black hair danced wildly, and he let out a long howl.

The imperial blood within his body seemed to burn out and dry up.

But as the young emperor of the Dark Heavenly Court, he is unwilling to die like this!

How could he die like this?!

Ji Shao Hao never expected that the Earth Store would possess such a terrifying domain!

Even if he could only erupt with the power of a single Nirvana Heavenly King, he would not fear, for he could rely on the phantom of burning imperial blood to block the Heavenly King's might.

But when three Heavenly Kings strike together, it cannot be blocked at all!

One against three, still at the Heavenly King level—how could it be matched?

Watching the energy of his imperial blood within himself deplete, feeling the terrifying primordial pressure surge through the cracks like waves, Ji Shao Hao's face was filled with sorrow!

«I never imagined… I, Ji Shao Hao, the illustrious young emperor of the Dark Heavenly Court, would come to such a dead end! »

«The Eighth Generation God Tide, the calamity of the Prison Lotus! »

«And I have become a victim of this Prison Lotus calamity, a sacrificed divine spirit! Unwilling! »

Ji Shao Hao's two lines of blood tears streaked across his face; his heart full of unwillingness turned into torrents of blood tears at this moment!

They forced the Prison Lotus maiden to accept the Prison Lotus curse power, becoming the executioner of heaven and earth's will, slaying the divine spirits of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, clearing enough space for many divine cultivators to breakthrough and rotate.

And those dead divine spirits will have their souls return to the netherworld and fall into the Nine Abysses!

Yet Ji Shao Hao never thought that as a young emperor he would perish in this great calamity.

Even the Immortal Divine Emperor had prepared for him to charge into the Immortal Realm, to prepare for the Dark Heavenly Court's transcendence in the Ninth Generation God Tide; but now he is to become a sacrificed divine spirit falling into the hands of the Prison Lotus faction!

«This young emperor! Unwilling! »

Ji Shao Hao roared, his body seeming to crack open, countless mighty divine surges surging skyward, endlessly surging!

Behind him, black and white qi seemed to gush out, forming black and white light pillars that shot into the void, shaking it, as if trying to tear the void apart, forming a black-and-white vortex of life and death qi.

Gradually, it seemed as if a path paved with life-and-death qi appeared.

Along that road, flowers withered, all things fell silent, white bones floated and sank, blood flowed and drifted!

Nine Abysses Path of Life and Death!

At this moment, Ji Shao Hao chose to break through his own Slaying Three Realm cultivation, wishing to step into Nirvana and gamble on a final battle!

Li Che's eyes shone brightly; he clenched his five fingers, as if turning them into a sharp long blade, he fiercely swung down, endless blade light burst forth between heaven and earth, once again displaying the Heaven-Earth Nine Talisman Blade!

Want to break through?

Where would Li Che give him this opportunity?

Although even if Ji Shao Hao breaks through and steps onto the Nine Abysses Path of Life and Death, Li Che would not be overly fearful, for he still has reserves of his Sovereign clone to use.

But being able to save some trouble is naturally good.

The current situation is not very advantageous for Li Che.

The external situation has deteriorated extremely.

Five Nirvana Heavenly Kings sit cross-legged in the void, waiting for Li Che to strike out; once he appears, he will suffer a terrible siege.

On the other side, Qi Tian was besieged by the three Earth Immortals, and Wa Huang's will faced the Immortal Lao Jun directly, yet could only be suppressed.

So, the situation is extremely urgent!

Li Che cannot waste much time; he must reserve ample time for preparation and planning!

Placing a move requires contemplation; Li Che must make a move for the Chess Saint, freeing up time!

Buzz—

The Heaven‑Earth Nine Talisman Blade slashed down in an instant.

At the moment the three great Heaven‑Earth Dao bodies shattered Ji Shaohao's Imperial Blood Phantasm.

The Heaven‑Earth Nine Talisman Blade followed suit, slashing down!

The Heaven‑Earth will formed by the interweaving of five Heaven‑Earth Ancient Talismans was almost palpably strong and terrifying!

Ji Shaohao thrust his head up fiercely; this time… he had no Divine Emperor Spear to block the blade.

It instantly filled his heart with despair!

He raised both arms, crossing them across the sky!

Behind him, the qi of life and death interwove and surged, communicating with the netherworld, activating the Nine Nether Death Path!

Pop!

The Heaven‑Earth Nine Talisman Blade can be said to be one of Li Che's most powerful killing methods to date.

Built on the Heaven‑Earth Ancient Talisman and modeled after the Heaven's Will Chopping Blade, it is a construct of slaughter!

Cut down everything!

Ji Shaohao spewed blood from his mouth; the terrifying blade flash fell, and his outstretched arms were ripped apart, flesh torn, countless blood splatters forming a blood mist!

The two arms flew outward!

Ji Shaohao, drenched in blood, no longer retained the composure and ferocity of a young emperor!

"Dizang!"

Ji Shaohao's appearance was extremely grim; missing his arms, he still clenched his teeth, seeking a final strike, aiming to trigger the Nine Nether Death Path, stride into Nirvana, die and be reborn, achieving transformation!

However, Li Che would never give him that chance!

Mo City Fengdu kept collapsing; the entire Minor Heaven could no longer bear this annihilating force!

Heaven shook, earth quaked, the void erupted everywhere!

"Cut for me!"

Li Che stepped forward; the mud bead at his brow trembled, his seven‑orifice exquisite heart seemed to leap out at that moment, utterly draining all his spirit, linking with the Heaven‑Earth Nine Talisman Blade, and slashed down fiercely!

With a roar, blade light streaked across, sweeping all directions; the terrifying blade aura rose and fell like a raging sea, the starry sky trembling!

Ji Shaohao despaired as he watched the terrifying chopping blade strike his Nine Nether Death Path, watching helplessly as the path disintegrated and collapsed with a roar!

The qi of life and death scattered, and the entire Mo City Fengdu world was shattering and collapsing!

Ji Shaohao was drenched in blood, his eyes about to burst, having reached a true dead end.

The Path‑proving Divine Weapon was seized, Imperial Blood burned out, the Nine Nether Death Path was severed…

Ji Shaohao, at the end of a hopeless road!

Yet, facing Li Che's Heaven‑Earth Nine Talisman Blade, he roared, sweeping terrifying spear light with his legs, showing no retreat or evasion, still fighting!

He is the Young Emperor of the Dark Heavenly Court!

How could he possibly…

Retreat!!!

Both legs were cut off, his torso was severed, his neck was cut off!

Ji Shaohao burst completely amid his long howl!

Rumble—

The terrifying and powerful Divine Spirit Thought surged upward, like a ball of true sun flame burning fiercely, rolling and surging, blindingly bright!

Li Che stood in the void of the continuously collapsing Mo City Fengdu.

His eyes flashed like two sharp bolts of thunder.

It was as if two extremely sharp thunder spears pinned Ji Shaohao's remaining Divine Spirit Thought in the void, inescapable, futile to struggle!

The shattered divine light of the Divine Spirit Thought resembled a spray of blood.

"King Dizang!"

"The Prison Lotus will surely be defeated; this is destiny! You cannot change any of this, cannot change the end!"

Ji Shaohao's Divine Spirit Thought coldly stared at Li Che, letting out a long howl.

It burst with a roar!

Completely…

Body and spirit annihilated!

The whole Mo City Fengdu was left only with relentless terrifying explosions, the formed thought storm continuously surging, extremely dreadful!

Buzz—

The three Heaven‑Earth Dao bodies on the great rivers of the three great avenues exhausted their energy and gradually dissipated.

Under Li Che's white‑jade Dizang mask, his eyes were faintly calm, his complexion as pale as snow, a weakness caused by over‑exertion.

His gaze, razor‑sharp, locked onto the spot where Ji Shaohao's body exploded after his fall, where a drop of golden blood floated.

It was like a particle of terrifying mass, capable of crushing everything, shattering the void!

"Imperial Blood!"

"Immortal Divine Emperor's Blood!"

Li Che narrowed his eyes.

And under Li Che's gaze, this drop of divine emperor's blood began to slowly change shape!

In the swirl, it formed an immense vortex of golden blood!

Beyond the vortex, a connection was made to a terrifying existence!

Boom—

Familiar primordial waves surged forth, like a tide rolling in!

Li Che had previously collided and clashed with this existence within the Guiyi Miao of the Jade Emperor and Heavenly Sovereign Two Saints!

「King Lingxiao」

Li Che's gaze was calm.

And after that golden blood vortex,

A figure appeared, as if gazing from afar across the endless void, their eyes likewise filled with a complex hue.

「King Dizang」

King Lingxiao spoke, their tone heavy and complex.

The emperor's blood trembled, opening a spatial passage……

This means that Ji Shaohao is dead.

The existence personally selected by the Immortal Divine Emperor as an heir died at the hands of Dizang!

Alas……

King Lingxiao let out a sigh.

「In the end, still couldn't escape? 」

「Ji Shaohao's death turned out to be connected to me; it seems I have merely been a tool of my true self all along…」

King Lingxiao was deeply sorrowful.

They wanted to prove the Dao with a clone, but how could that be easy?

Rumble—

King Lingxiao stepped forward, intending to cross the border!

However.

Li Che, however, at this moment, tapped his toe down, and instantly the entire Ink City Fengdu began to tremble.

Finally, the power sustaining the operation of the minor cave heaven collapsed with a boom, and Li Che reclaimed it into his body.

And Ink City Fengdu, having lost its support, collapsed with a boom.

The spatial passage was severed inch by inch.

When King Lingxiao sensed something amiss, they had already accelerated their steps; with just three steps, they had reached the transmission conduit forged by the golden blood vortex.

Then, taking another step, they sought to cross into the realm!

But when King Lingxiao finally retracted their step, Ink City Fengdu had completely collapsed and burst apart.

In the void.

The Heavenly Sovereign Tower hovered silently.

The light flickered faintly, as insignificant as gravel and dust.

Li Che spread the Heaven-Earth chessboard to conceal the aura of the Heavenly Sovereign Tower.

With a step forward, Li Che also appeared inside the Heavenly Sovereign Tower.

Cangyuan and Cangce had long looked on in admiration; this is indeed a ruthless person daring to slay a young emperor!

Li Che tore open the void and extracted Ji Shaohao's shattered flesh and blood.

A slight stir of heart and mind, no longer hiding, before Cangyuan and Cangce, they began the soul‑seizing ritual!

Clatter—

As if the Yellow Springs of the Netherworld were pouring down upside‑down!

The momentum was terrifyingly fierce; inside the Heavenly Sovereign Tower, countless netherworld chains hung down, dancing wildly without cease!

After all, he was a young emperor, and in the end he had successfully opened the Nine Netherworld Path of Life and Death, only to be cut off by Li Che, giving him no chance to turn the tide, prematurely crushing his hope.

It seemed as if an eternity had passed, yet also as if only an instant.

Ji Shaohao's form was forcibly pulled out from the Netherworld by Li Che.

Countless chains clanged, and in the instant Ji Shaohao opened his eyes, they all snapped apart.

Ji Shaohao regained his handsome appearance, wearing a purple‑gold crown, his eyes like lightning, his body clad in golden armor, displaying full majesty.

「This young emperor……has been revived? ！」

However, Li Che merely looked at him indifferently.

Under pressing time, Li Che also couldn't be bothered to give Ji Shaohao much buffer time.

Having become a spirit‑seized, only two choices remain.

「Submit, or……」

「Eternal stillness and extinction. 」

……

……

Above the nine heavens, in the region that broke through the limits of the heavenly and earthly will, stars rolled, light flowed, and various blended colors became hazy.

Two apparitions stood on either side of the starry sky, as if spanning the infinite stars in confrontation.

Nüwa's body was suffused with demonic energy that reached the heavens; she borrowed demonic energy from Li Che's Myriad Demon Emperor Dao Fruit, causing her heavenly immortal will state to nearly condense into a true fleshly body.

She had been clashing with the Immortal Laozi in this starry expanse for quite some time.

Nüwa continued to maintain her demonic energy without dispersing.

Wahuang's whole body was hazy amidst the radiance, her stunning face somewhat indistinct.

She glanced indifferently at the Immortal Old Lord, countless demonic qi turning into myriad snakes flicking tongues, dancing wildly in the starry sky.

The Immortal Old Lord grasped the Vajra Pestle, his Daoist robe fluttering, seated on the mat, his aura terrifying, as if a single thought could stir the rise and fall of the star sea.

"Why?"

The Immortal Old Lord sighed, looking at Wahuang with some complexity and disappointment.

"Why... would you choose to side with the Hell Lotus Camp?"

"In the previous seven God Tides, you never chose to act; why now, in this Eighth Generation God Tide, do you step forward?"

The Immortal Old Lord sighed.

"Don't... you know that once you intervene and become entangled with the Hell Lotus Camp in karmic ties, you will be locked by the will of heaven and earth, and perhaps... the Heavenly Immortal who needs to be sacrificed in this lifetime is you!"

The Immortal Old Lord's voice was filled with regret.

Wahuang remained calm.

"So what?"

"It's just that when the time to act comes, one naturally acts; many things... cannot be left unattended." Wahuang said indifferently.

The Immortal Old Lord found those words somewhat hard to understand.

The Immortal Old Lord shook his head: "I don't know what you really mean."

He lightly tossed the Vajra Pestle, silver light piercing the starry sky, as if dragging a river of stars to wash over!

Wahuang's demonic qi trembled; barefoot, she tapped forward, countless frenzied pythons roaring and howling, thick as a wall, like a serpent barrier severing the starry sky.

Wahuang's skirt fluttered; her fair, crystalline palm tapped in the void, and a star instantly shed fragments.

Blade light wandered over it, a star actually carved into a statue's likeness, exactly Wahuang's likeness.

Wahuang lightly opened her red lips and exhaled a breath.

Instantly, the star carved into Wahuang's Divine Eagle revived; the Divine Eagle revived, turning into an enormous star carving, bursting forth with tyrannical force.

It collided with the Vajra Pestle!

The Vajra Pestle flew backward; the Immortal Old Lord turned his palm upward, supporting this Heavenly Immortal Artifact.

Watching Wahuang carve a star into her avatar to aid her, his expression instantly became extremely solemn.

"A mere wisp of will descends, and you can actually unleash the Mending Heaven Divine Technique? The demonic qi you borrowed... has a problem."

The Immortal Old Lord's eyes were deep, as if vast starlight surged within.

"But... that's all there is."

"You are not your true self present; you cannot stop this seat."

The Immortal Old Lord said.

"Wahuang, I ask you one last time: why?"

"Withdraw now, it's still not too late!"

However.

Yet in the starry sky rang Wahuang's silver‑bell‑like laughter.

"Immortal Old Lord, you're not good at calculations; then calculate... why does this emperor side with the Hell Lotus Camp? How?"

The Immortal Old Lord furrowed his brows, pinched his fingers with a seal, and truly began to calculate earnestly.

But, after calculating with his fingers, a sense of crisis inevitably arose in his heart.

He dispersed the hand seal, his eyes solemn.

"There's a problem, a big problem..."

"Exactly why do you side with the Hell Lotus Camp?"

The Immortal Old Lord exhaled, his eyes turning completely cold.

He clapped his palms together, then swung fiercely.

Instantly, the Vajra Pestle transformed into myriad fragments, clanging loudly!

"Forget it... wait until I suppress this wisp of your will, then I'll calculate slowly."

……

……

Boom—

Three sword lights of terrifying extremity roared forth, the void shattering inch by inch, utterly unable to bear this power.

The Divine Formation swirled; three Earth Immortals spanned the void, each with sharp swords rising from their backs, sword light fluctuating.

Equal Heaven wore the Equal Heaven Armor; on the mechanical armor, four Heaven‑Earth Ancient Glyphs rotated, and Li Che had not yet had time to inscribe the fifth glyph he had just comprehended upon it.

Otherwise, Equal Heaven's battle power could rise again!

But even so, the current Equal Heaven still possesses at least ninety percent of its peak battle power!

"Hehe, the three Earth Immortals of the Dark Heavenly Court!"

"This old monkey broke your Heaven‑Shocking Killing Formation; see what else you've got to keep this old monkey!"

"Helping that old geezer Immortal Old Lord who wants to refine this old monkey, humph! Today, this old monkey will surely beat you to death!"

"Take a blow from this old monkey's staff!"

Equal Heaven gave a cold smile; the Wish‑Gold‑Hooped Staff in his hand instantly expanded to tens of thousands of feet, sweeping out horizontally.

Boom!

The Heaven‑Shocking Killing Formation was instantly torn apart by the Wish‑Gold‑Hooped Staff, bursting explosively!

The three Earth Immortals dispersed, their faces grim; having been bested by Equal Heaven, the Divine Formation had already cracked, and in the ensuing battle they tried to repair the killing formation, but Equal Heaven gave them no chance.

Nearly restored to its peak, Equal Heaven's battle power is terrifying.

Shattering the Southern Heaven, overturning the sky, stepping on Lingxiao, each sweeping strike of the Ruyi Staff Method makes the three Earth Immortals feel suffocated!

"What a pity, only the three of us came; otherwise… we would have beheaded you, the demon monkey, today!"

One of the Earth Immortals coldly spoke.

In the next instant, a long howl rang out, and the other two Earth Immortals let out the same howl.

The Earth Immortals' primal source surged instantly, like a vast ocean erupting, then the ocean was sliced apart.

Three sword lights rose, each from the primal sea of a Earth Immortal!

"God‑Slaying Sword!"

"Absolute God Sword!"

"Trap God Sword!"

The three Earth Immortals shouted in unison!

The three terrifying vicious swords instantly burst with endless dazzling light, as if cutting through the chaotic void itself!

The sword intent was dense, spanning the void, slashing down the stars!

Qi Tian's golden eyes flashed!

"Heh… what a Dark Heavenly Court, three supreme divine‑weapon swords of the Two Saints, and they fell into your hands, nurtured by you into proof‑of‑Dao divine weapons!"

"There's something here!"

Qi Tian's expression grew extremely solemn.

The sword chant howled, tearing the void for thousands of miles; Qi Tian somersaulted, yet could not evade the three incoming sword lights!

The three Earth Immortals sat cross‑legged in the void, fingers forming a seal as they pointed at the hovering divine weapon above their heads, invoking their proof‑of‑Dao weapons to slay the enemy!

One sword sliced out, as if extinguishing all directions!

Where the sword light passed, everything seemed frozen; the light ceased to flow, all being cut down within that single sword!

Qi Tian had to hard‑counter a wave.

Dou Zhan Sheng Secret Technique!

Qi Tian's armor clanged; the primal Qi Tian within his chest roared, driving the four ancient Heaven‑and‑Earth talismans on the mechanism armor into violent motion!

Boom—!!

…

…

The void churned, countless fissures appearing!

Strong collision waves, as if emanating from the deep void, struck the Dou Tian Palace.

The entire Dou Tian Palace seemed on the verge of being crushed into ruins in that instant!

The Golden Crane King and four others stationed in the void, sealing the Nirvana Heavenly Kings at each direction of Dou Tian Palace, suddenly opened their eyes, their faces turning extremely solemn.

"This is… the Four God‑Slaying Swords! They are the Four God‑Slaying Swords of the Tong Tian Divine Emperor!"

The Golden Crane King inhaled deeply.

His perception of sword Dao being extremely keen, his crane feathers rose one by one.

"The three Earth Immortals summoned by the Old Lord were already three disciples under the Tong Tian Divine Emperor; unfortunately, the Emperor's senior disciple is in seclusion… otherwise, with the Four God‑Slaying Swords gathered, that demon monkey… even if he restored his peak cultivation, would still meet a bitter end!"

One Nirvana Heavenly King opened his eyes, suppressing the sword qi and primal force echoing from the deep void.

Preventing the Dou Tian Palace from being destroyed in an instant.

However, while they were suppressing those void fissures,

The Golden Crane King's eyes narrowed, the sword qi on his body erupted instantly, like a cascading waterfall, slashing swiftly toward a spot in the void!

"Earth Store!!!"

From his mouth came an extremely angry roar!

However…

Countless sword lights abruptly solidified in mid‑air, cutting that void area into a vacuum.

Only a single figure remained, drenched in blood, wildly suspended, gasping heavily.

"Young Emperor?!"

Stepping out of the void was Ji Shaohao.

The Golden Crane King's eyes narrowed, the powerful Heavenly King will sweeping wildly.

At the same time.

Fu Shaoxi and Shi Shaojia saw the escaping Ji Shaohao, and their eyes instantly showed a hint of startled doubt.

"His immortal divine‑emperor blood has burned out."

Between Shi Shaojia's brows, a golden cicada pattern spread its wings, staring at Ji Shaohao as if seeing through illusion.

However, his brows furrowed; vaguely he sensed something off about Ji Shaohao at this moment.

Yet he couldn't pinpoint what.

"However, the Earth Store King is still a Nirvana Heavenly King… Ji Shaohao has not walked the Nine‑Underworld path of life and death, so battling the Heavenly King is already arduous."

"Moreover, this Earth Store King who can duel the Lingxiao King… if Ji Shaohao does not exhaust his imperial blood, how can he escape?"

"Unfortunately, he did not buy enough time; otherwise, after the Old Lord's immortal suppression of the Nuwa Empress's will, everything would have been settled," Shi Shaojia muttered.

Fu Shaoxi's expression was complicated as he exhaled.

"Ji Shaohao is out… what about the Earth Store King?"

"Right…"

"Where is the Earth Store King?!"

The Golden Crane King stared coldly at Ji Shaohao; at this moment, he could no longer concern himself with Ji Shaohao's Young Emperor status.

"Where is the Earth Store King?!"

Golden Crane King asked.

Ji Shaohao was drenched in blood, exhaled a breath, and briefly described the situation.

In short, the minor cave world could not bear the power of the Earth Store King, the Nirvana Heavenly King, and the force of the imperial blood's desperate struggle, and it exploded.

Ji Shaohao also did not know where the Earth Store King had gone.

The Golden Crane King's surging sword qi, though boiling and roaring, ultimately never struck down.

After all, Ji Shaohao is the Young Emperor; although the Golden Crane King was angry that Ji Shaohao failed to restrain the Earth Store King, the Young Emperor's status still made him suppress his anger.

After all, Ji Shaohao had also given his all, even burning out his imperial blood… What else could he say?

"The minor cave world has exploded; that Earth Store must have already fled…"

"This person is skilled in the art of concealing their aura, but we don't know where they've hidden! A sneaky, head‑hiding, tail‑concealing rat!"

The Golden Crane King angrily scolded.

Boom—!

Five Nirvana Heavenly Kings rose into the sky again, their mighty heavenly king will sweeping out, sweeping over the entire Heaven‑covering City.

They intended to examine every place meticulously; even every cultivator in the crowd was swept by their will, resulting in a carpet‑like search!

The shattered ruins of Ink City Fengdu burst apart; Li Che could indeed not remain there for long.

The Vast Heaven Tower was taken by Li Che into the Heaven‑Earth Chessboard; however, this made the Heaven‑Earth Chessboard rather inconvenient to use.

Li Che himself escaped from the void and appeared in Heaven‑covering City.

He did want to leave, but under the Immortal Old Lord's Seal‑Heaven Whisk seal, he could not easily break the seal.

The Golden Crane King's heavenly king will kept sweeping, almost completely overturning the Heaven‑covering Palace City.

However, nothing abnormal could be detected at all.

Aura shielding is indeed a method, but under such a search by the heavenly king's will, traces will surely be revealed.

But there was none!

There was not the slightest sign of disguise!

It seemed…

The Earth Store simply did not appear in the Heaven‑covering Palace City at all!

And the Golden Crane King immediately fled into the void to release his perception probe; if the Earth Store were in the void, that perception would be easier, for in the void, a strong one's aura is like a blazing sun, impossible to hide.

There was none either!

Where on earth is it?

The Golden Crane King's fury was unstoppable.

And at this very moment.

As Li Che appeared in Heaven‑covering Palace City, he instantly clenched a white Flying Thunder chess piece in his five fingers.

The Flying Thunder translocation appeared in a place the Golden Crane King could never have imagined.
