Chapter 597: Blade Slashes Lao Jun, Flying Thunder Pierces the Grand Front, Wa Huang's Gaze

Whirr— whirr—…

The Qi Tian Origin, as if it had become a true great river, after Li Che took control of the Qi Tian Armor, the Qi Tian Origin was at his command, and that overwhelmingly massive power truly shocked Li Che.

Facing a power of this level, Li Che only felt his He Dao Xuan Xian cultivation become extremely insignificant; indeed it was not a power of the same tier, the gap was rather large.

In his chest, each Dao Fruit seemed to revive at this moment, cheering and leaping, as if excited and anticipating the short‑term surge of power!

Of course, this ultimately belongs to the Qi Tian Origin's power.

It's just that now Li Che is the one manipulating it.

The Origin is the interior, the Qi Tian Armor is the exterior, and the five rotating celestial origins above the Qi Tian Armor are the true source that forged this moment's Qi Tian Armor.

Buzz—

The Qi Tian Armor erupted with dazzling brilliance, its eyes burning like flowing fire, as if after ages of forging in the Seal Heaven Furnace it had created golden eyes that could see through all falsehood!

Immortal Lao Jun's gaze was deep and indifferent as he scanned; at this moment the Qi Tian… was in an abnormal state.

As if having seen through the Qi Tian Armor's secrets, Immortal Lao Jun's eyes showed a hint of a different hue.

"Merging the Qi Tian's power completely into this mechanism armor… could it truly restore the Qi Tian's power to its peak level?"

"The way of mechanisms, developed to this point, is truly unrivaled under heaven!"

Immortal Lao Jun began to praise.

In his view, this was indeed incredible, granting Qi Tian a rebirth, rekindling its peak power!

Although the limitations are great, one must admit this is indeed the best way for a being once comparable to the Immortal Heaven, after falling several times and becoming a weakened temple deity, to rise again.

"But… that's all."

Immortal Lao Jun's gaze grew increasingly indifferent, no longer caring who was manipulating the Qi Tian Armor at this moment.

Even Qi Tian itself cannot escape his suppression and restraint when wielding the Qi Tian Armor; replace the person, how could they possibly break free?

Boom!

Seal Heaven Brush unfurled, transforming into a white dragon that roared and howled out again.

Moreover, this time Immortal Lao Jun held back nothing; by now, he was also somewhat angry.

Above the vast sky, countless booming explosions erupted instantly, the void cracked open, and an incredibly terrifying aura spread through the emptiness!

Li Che familiarized himself with the Qi Tian Armor's power; the surging force gave him, at this moment, an urge to vent.

Buzz buzz buzz—

Five Celestial Ancient Talismans, as if on the Qi Tian Armor, arranged instantly according to Qimen.

Then, they were activated by Li Che!

Roar—!

The Qi Tian Armor let out a long howl toward the heavens, its brilliance swelling, its body trembling in unison; the surface of the Qi Tian Armor seemed to bulge like expanding muscles, instantly puffing up!

Dao Fruit, Dragon Elephant Vajra!

Li Che's eyes burned fiercely, his battle spirit surged, and with a heavy stomp beneath the Qi Tian Armor, it was as if an immeasurable river of blood‑Qi erupted!

The martial river, amplified by the Qi Tian Origin, seemed at this moment to span across heaven and earth!

Golden blood‑Qi instantly flooded the heavens, as if illuminating the entire Tai Su Tian; the scene was immensely shocking, the river surged like an ancient being rising from the river, roaring the primordial, shattering stars!

Inside Doutian Palace City.

Fu Shaoxi, Shi Shaojia and the other young emperors were shaken to their core; many deities felt as if the world between heaven and earth had lost its color.

Only this moment's golden blood‑Qi filled the space between heaven and earth!

Is this the martial path?!

This is the martial path!

Li Che's eyes blazed, his Martial Immortal will trembled, and under the boost of the Qi Tian Origin, it seemed to ignite completely.

To crush the entire Tai Su Tian sky realm, like the Five Wheels Great Sun spanning the heavens!

Facing the roaring white dragon formed by the Seal Heaven Brush, Li Che maneuvered the Qi Tian Armor, leaning his body forward and pressing down; instantly, all the air currents and chaotic void above the vast sky were forced aside by his brute force!

A sudden horizontal punch thrust out, unleashing unprecedented terrifying power that erupted with a boom at this moment!

Just this one punch, the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant Furnace!

Splitting the golden blood‑Qi river in two, the ancient divine dragon and demonic elephant trampled out of the river, engaging in a life‑and‑death battle with the white dragon!

And Li Che, maneuvering the Qi Tian Armor, made a flicker at the instant the dragon‑elephant blocked the white dragon.

A heavy step, as if a chessboard expanded beneath his feet, and with a rumble, endless great stars seemed to rotate upon it!

Chess Sage Dao Fruit!

Heaven and Earth Chessboard!

With a single thought, space itself seemed meaningless!

In merely one ten‑thousandth of a moment, Li Che, maneuvering the Qi Tian Armor like a drawn bow, instantly launched, pulling a massive abyss that shattered the void across the Heaven and Earth Chessboard!

The instant appeared before Immortal Lao Jun's face!

Terrifying fist wind rolled out, brushing the beard on Lao Jun's face!

However, Lao Jun's eyes showed no ripple, hardly surprised; the hand that sealed and suppressed Wa Huang was gently pushed forward, as if an invisible wall suddenly stood before Li Che clad in the Qi Tian Armor!

A fist pressed down, smashing out!

Thud!

The fist struck the invisible wall as if it were a wall that had frozen time and space!

From afar it looked as if the fist collided with Lao Jun's sealing hand.

The endless void exploded, the space around both constantly collapsing, vast raging currents of shattered void bursting outward!

"Even Qi Tian personally controlling this armor could not deal with the old one; what are you?"

Lao Jun said lightly.

The markedly different style made Old Lord Immortal guess that the one currently controlling this mechanized armor was no longer Qi Tian.

The words carried a hint of coldness.

Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly, and he only felt an incomparably vast, immeasurable terrifying pressure.

It was as if all the void behind Old Lord Immortal at this moment slammed down with an incomparable heaviness, causing Li Che's heart to quake continuously!

At the same time.

The distant void thundered and exploded.

The Haotian Tower transformed into a burst of flowing light, shooting toward the Qi Tian Armor, and the three Earth Immortals also emerged from the deep void, their powerful Earth Immortal origins ravaging the world between heaven and earth.

The battle situation seemed to, in an instant, fall into an irretrievable predicament.

Inside the Qi Tian Armor, Cang Yuan, Cang Che, Xixi and others were almost suffocating; this battle situation made their hearts constrict, and within the interior cabin of the Qi Tian Armor they could feel the extremely terrifying collision.

If it were not for the Qi Tian Will protecting them, perhaps they would have been completely annihilated before this level of force's impact!

Li Che clenched his five fingers into a fist, his spine trembling, and the Eight‑Nine Profound Art surged to its limit.

The Mysterious Gate Immortal Martial was fully stimulated at this moment!

The Heaven‑and‑Earth Chessboard expanded, enveloping Old Lord Immortal, making the opponent seem to be situated within a star position.

"Let me show you… the true Flying Thunder!"

Boom—!!!

Black‑and‑white pieces floated around like stars.

As Li Che clenched his five fingers into a fist.

His body instantly shifted and stretched, and between the Heaven‑and‑Earth Chessboard, he instantly appeared at the farthest diagonal star position corresponding to Old Lord Immortal's location.

Old Lord Immortal pressed a secret technique with his hand, his brows slightly furrowing.

He felt slightly strange in his heart, but that was all.

The secret technique pressed down, and the distant Will of the Queen Mother began to strike the diamond‑forged cage again!

Suppressing the Queen Mother who had planned to stealthily break the blockade!

"Planning to escape?"

"But where could you escape to?"

Old Lord Immortal's eyes were indifferent and cold, his five fingers spread, intending to grasp and use Seal Heaven Sweep.

However……

Li Che did not flee!

Buzz—

On the chessboard, it seemed a stellar river suddenly appeared!

As if pulling two star positions together!

Li Che, clad in the Qi Tian Armor, with a golden wheel turning behind him, instantly from another star position, pulled at extreme speed and charged forward.

This made Old Lord Immortal slightly startled.

The secret technique pushed the palm, and the Heaven‑and‑Earth solidified again.

Thud!

Li Che's fist struck it again, the terrifying shockwave radiating outward, the solidified void as steady as a rock, like an enormous mirror, firmly blocking Li Che's fierce punch!

The long river of martial path glittered with golden light, continuously swirling wildly behind Li Che, who wore the Qi Tian Armor.

Feeling the Qi Tian primal source constantly boiling and depleting, Li Che's eyes once again narrowed!

Buzz—

Another white piece vanished.

It reappeared, again appearing on a distant star position!

Clench, thrust the fist!

The abyss pulled from the chessboard seemed to become a vacuum zone.

With Li Che's sprint, the speed reached its extreme!

Buzz buzz buzz buzz—

Li Che, just like that, on that abyssal vacuum zone, kept pulling and kept traversing.

Jumping and pulling between star positions!

Each time his fist struck the mirror projected by Old Lord Immortal's solidified void,

it returned a Flying Thunder piece, which instantly vanished back to the star position, then accelerated to charge again!

Each relocation gave the speed an extremely terrifying boost!

In the end, Li Che only felt the Qi Tian Armor seemed unable to bear the weight, unable to sustain this moment's power.

As if surpassing the speed of light!

Continuing to accelerate, the Qi Tian Armor might completely disintegrate!

Then, Li Che's swung punch abruptly changed.

With a buzzing blast!

A three‑pronged double‑edged blade leapt out, landing in Li Che's hand.

Boom!

Heaven‑and‑Earth Five‑Symbol Blade!

The Qi Tian primal source boiled wildly!

With a faster‑than‑light impact, this blade erupted!

"Slash!"

A single, vivid slash struck the incredibly resilient void wall before Lao Jun Bu Xiu!

The void space instantly emitted a crisp sound; in an instant countless spider‑web‑like cracks spread, the fissures expanding as if about to shatter completely!

Shattered?!

The eyes of everyone froze, and an earth‑shaking terror surged in their hearts!

The three observing Earth Immortals inhaled deeply!

The divine secret technique of Lao Jun Bu Xiu, of the Heaven Immortal tier that nearly merges with heaven and earth, was actually severed!

Truly unbelievable!

Even the will of the Queen Mother, suppressed by the Vajra Carving, could not help but show a flash of brilliance.

How dazzling!

Lao Jun Bu Xiu felt the rupturing void fissure slide across his cheek.

The three‑pointed, double‑edged blade rang loudly, its edge trembling a thousand times in an instant!

It cut straight toward his face!

An ultimate sharpness pierced the void seal's defense, as if to behead him.

However, faced with such a slash.

Though Lao Jun Bu Xiu's eyes showed amazement, there was little worry.

As if seated upon an eternal divine mountain, he remained unmoved by the slash, even though it contained the power of five ancient heaven‑earth talismans.

"Not bad."

"Your blade…"

"King Dizang? You must be that Yulan, the Three‑Eyed Mysterious Dao Manifested True Lord?"

Lao Jun Bu Xiu's gaze deepened as he stared at the figure beneath the blazing eyes of the Qi Tian Armor.

And Lao Jun Bu Xiu's words also sent a shock through many in the Dou Tian Palace City.

The three Earth Immortals far away were also startled.

Three‑Eyed Mysterious Dao Manifested True Lord?

Qi Tian, the Third Prince, and the Three‑Eyed Mysterious Dao Manifested True Lord… the Yulan Three Gods, are they all gathered?!

Eighth Generation God Tide, could it truly be nearing its end?!

However, Li Che gave no hint of response to Lao Jun Bu Xiu's speculation.

The long sword in his hand continued to slash toward Lao Jun Bu Xiu.

But when Lao Jun Bu Xiu altered his seal, the void in all directions seemed suppressed and sealed by massive walls.

Li Che's lips curled slightly.

He drew his blade with sudden clarity!

Buzz—

Again, the same old technique!

However, this time Li Che did not choose the Flying Thunder Shift, but returned directly to the corresponding star position.

Instead, he retreated directly from Lao Jun Bu Xiu's star position, erupting at a speed nearly surpassing light.

Across the abyssal chasm marks left on the celestial chessboard, he swept by in an instant!

The tremendous speed constantly propelled him, making Li Che's swinging slash almost dazzle heaven and earth!

The three‑pointed, double‑edged blade, fused with the Five‑Symbol Blade of Heaven and Earth, emitted an extreme bursting hum!

Blade light streaked across, its tip howling to the nine heavens!

Ripping!

The white dragon formed by Seal Sky Sweep faced the dragon‑elephant that leapt from Li Che's martial river, and was instantly pierced by the blade light, split in two!

And Li Che's speed showed no sign of stagnation.

It was freshly chiseled into the wall realm outside Dou Tian Palace City, where Lao Jun Bu Xiu had re‑sealed.

The incredibly sturdy wall realm burst open at that moment, violently split by the slash!

A blade flash dazzled heaven and earth, and dazzled everyone's perception!

Boom—

The celestial chessboard vanished, returning to Li Che's forehead.

Clad in Qi Tian Armor, Li Che's terrifying Qi Tian origin erupted, billions of blazing radiance burst forth, propelling his body like a cannonball.

He burst straight out of Dou Tian Palace City's seal!

At this moment, everyone finally reacted!

Lao Jun Bu Xiu's body was encased in an incredibly resilient frozen void, like towering divine mountains.

But Li Che's target switched outright, not dueling Lao Jun Bu Xiu at all!

Li Che's original purpose was not to duel Lao Jun Bu Xiu; his aim was to break the deadlock!

Boom—!

Three Earth Immortals strode forward, faces grim, three swords clanged, divine sword light streaking across heaven and earth!

"This Three‑Eyed Manifested True Lord is truly cunning!"

An Earth Immortal shouted angrily.

Lao Jun Bu Xiu's gaze hardened, his seal flicked his sleeve, and the frozen spacetime instantly shattered.

"Indeed cunning."

"But there's no escape."

Lao Jun said calmly.

He sat cross-legged, then slowly rose to his feet and took a step.

The Vajra Pestle rang continuously, suppressing Nüwa's will, tearing open the void, and crashing into the endless turbulent flow.

……

……

Li Che wore the Equal-to-Heaven Armor, and mighty primal source energy burned fiercely.

His speed reached the extreme, he chiseled open the void and rushed into the void, the teleportation platform grand formation instantly appeared under his arrangement, a shift teleportation, the void twisted!

He began to enter the teleportation channel.

Boom—

Inside the teleportation channel of the teleportation platform, it seemed as if a heaven-earth barrier lay across.

A mighty immortal will suddenly descended!

"Want to run?!"

Within the Tai Su Heaven's heavenly realm barrier, an earth immortal coalesced!

Instantly unleashed a terrifying attack, as if a hand that covers the sky struck out, in an instant turning into countless hands, sealing every part of the void.

Li Che wore the Equal-to-Heaven Armor, his eyes narrowed.

The three-pointed two-edged blade in his hand swung out fiercely, the residual might of the Heaven-Earth Nine Symbols Blade still burst forth.

Such an opportunity to freely use the Equal-to-Heaven primal source power is rare, perhaps only this once!

To let people freely use the immortal primal source, the impact on the immortal itself is not small!

So, Li Che this time freely used it.

Of course, it might also be due to the influence of the Equal-to-Heaven primal source, making Li Che's battle will extremely strong!

Bang bang bang!

Blade light slashed and crisscrossed!

Palms exploded one after another; the guardian of this heavenly realm barrier was merely an earth immortal, who, upon sensing the aura of the Equal-to-Heaven Armor, intended to try to defend with a strike!

This earth immortal's expression changed slightly.

So fierce?!

Equal-to-Heaven didn't become a temple deity, how could it erupt with such power?

This is the peak Equal-to-Heaven?!

This earth immortal guarded here, unaware of the events happening in the Dou Tian Palace City.

Seeing Equal-to-Heaven come to kill, he thought Equal-to-Heaven had escaped from the Dou Tian Furnace, intending to do a favor for the Laozi Immortal.

But he never expected, Equal-to-Heaven is ferocious!

This earth immortal's expression slightly changed, and he clapped his palms.

Instantly, a huge pass rose up, turning into a massive gate, pressing toward the Equal-to-Heaven Armor!

Li Che remained calm and fearless, swinging his blade in a roll, pushing the blade's residual might to the extreme!

His speed had already slowed down, so the blade's power naturally plummeted greatly!

The entire gate trembled, a huge ferocious fissure was cut into it, and a passage was forcibly sliced through!

Li Che wore the Equal-to-Heaven Armor, like a blazing sun, about to leap across this rift!

That earth immortal dared not block further!

This is the peak Equal-to-Heaven!

An existence comparable to a heavenly immortal, capable of slaying an earth immortal!

He did not want to become a sacrificed immortal fallen in this era's divine tide!

Anyway, he had already tried to block, but simply failed to do so.

Boom—

Li Che, wrapped in the Equal-to-Heaven Armor, charged through the pass he had sliced open.

Directly rushing through the void, heading toward the originally anchored teleportation location.

Inside the cabin of the Equal-to-Heaven Armor.

Li Che's body relaxed slightly; at this moment, his tense mind eased a little, and he exhaled softly.

The spirits Cangyuan and Cangche of Canglan Ancient Village collapsed limp on the ground, cold sweat continuously bubbling up.

Xixi cheered and jumped up, bouncing nonstop, overjoyed.

As expected of father!

Inside the cabin, suddenly enveloped by the feeling of joy!

Truly unimaginable!

Surprisingly, he managed to escape from the hands of so many immortals, turning a deadly situation around!

Moreover, among those immortals, there was even the Laozi Immortal, a supreme heavenly immortal!

Standing at the true pinnacle of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, looking down upon all living beings, a terrifying existence!

Being able to escape from such a situation can only be described as unbelievable!

Hum—

Suddenly.

Equal-to-Heaven's will revived, taking form as an Equal-to-Heaven figure, squinting his eyes.

"Good kid, you did really well."

"My old Sun's immortal primal source, you actually managed to mobilize it to this extent, your martial immortal path is steady, really good!"

Qi Tian praised without ceasing.

But soon, he sighed.

"What a pity..."

The relaxed expression on Li Che's face vanished instantly.

His brows furrowed sharply.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard instantly expanded around him.

Then his complexion instantly turned grim.

Because...

Outside the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

Wave after wave of terrifying and mighty aura sealed and froze the teleportation void passage!

"Other Heavenly Immortals... have arrived."

Qi Tian's voice carried great regret.

And Li Che's face also sank, as still as water.

Cang Yuan, Cang Che, and the bouncing Xixi also stiffened.

Other Heavenly Immortals?

Boom—

The void passage trembled incessantly.

An aura supremely majestic, shaking the universe, sweeping all directions, terrifying, as if transformed into a pillar of light that cleaved heaven and earth and descended, as if the sovereign of myriad gods, regarding all things as straw dogs.

Golden armor clanged, and a figure slowly stepped out from the blazing light pillar piercing the void passage.

Nine-headed golden divine dragons pulled a golden carriage.

Upon the carriage, an existence radiating divine might held a divine sword, leaning on it as it stood.

Cang Yuan's face turned pale, despair surfacing in his eyes.

"The Dark Heavenly Court... Immortal God Emperor!"

Hum—

A heaven-shaking, earth-moving cicada chirp rang out, as if echoing from beyond eternity!

A sharp sound, like the brilliant flare of a summer cicada just before death!

Then the endless cicada chirping transformed into the chanting of an ancient Buddha reciting sutras, a resonant hum that shook the ears, continuously echoing; countless golden ancient cicadas hovered in the air, as if cast in gold, like arhats suspended in midair.

Buddha light poured from the other end of the spatial passage, illuminating heaven and earth!

Cang Che, with immortal hands, despaired: "Black Sumeru... Immortal Golden Cicada!"

Two Heavenly Immortals!

Boom—

On the other side of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, terrifying demonic aura surged skyward, raging and intertwining!

A colossal bird spread its wings, demonic aura like a storm filling every inch of the teleportation passage!

Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly.

He recognized this blocking existence—the Immortal Demon Emperor!

The Heavenly Immortal of the Strange Demon Lair!

The Two Sovereigns and Three Emperors; among them, Wa Huang and Wu Huang are truly top-tier Heavenly Immortals, while the Immortal Demon Emperor is second to the Two Sovereigns, yet still a being of Heavenly Immortal stature!

Terrifying demonic aura surged wildly; a white robe fluttered, the Immortal Demon Emperor's purple hair danced wildly, extraordinarily demonic, spanning the void.

Plus the Immortal Old Lord leisurely chased out from the Dou Tian Palace City.

Thus four Immortals sealed the four directions of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

Li Che only felt an boundless cold and desolate power, like a flood bursting forth, freezing his entire body.

"Four Heavenly Immortals..."

Li Che exhaled; even at this moment, he couldn't help feeling a sense of helplessness.

He couldn't help wanting to curse...

This damn...

"Hehehe... quite a grand spread."

Qi Tian's will also couldn't help scratching his head and cheeks.

"Damn it, back when I, Old Sun, caused havoc in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, this was the extent of the spectacle..."

Qi Tian couldn't help clicking his tongue.

How can we break this situation?

This situation...

It's completely impossible to break!

Boom—

At this moment, the void teleportation passage was completely sealed, unable to transmit even a fraction.

The Earthly Immortals atop that city gate dared not even breathe.

Their faces were shocked to the point of despair.

Immortal God Emperor, Immortal Demon Emperor, Immortal Golden Cicada, and the Immortal Old Lord...

Four Heavenly Immortals!

Such a scene is rarely seen even in ten thousand years!

At this moment, that Earthly Immortal gazed at Qi Tian standing at the heavenly center of the chessboard, and involuntarily a look of sympathy rose in his eyes.

Even peak Qi Tian is useless...

Buzz buzz buzz—

Within the Equal Heaven Armor.

Within the Equal Heaven Armor.

The Equal Heaven will regained control of the Equal Heaven Armor.

"Equal Heaven Will regained control of the Equal Heaven Armor." Or "The will of Equal Heaven retook control of the Equal Heaven Armor." We'll keep concise: "Equal Heaven's will regained control of the Equal Heaven Armor."

Li Che suddenly fell out from the grip of the overwhelming power, and a wave of intense loss swept over him.

"Li Che instantly fell from the grasp of the immense power, and a strong sense of loss swept over him." Need to keep meaning: "Li Che instantly fell from the grasp of the immense power, and a strong sense of loss swept over him." Could be: "Li Che instantly fell from the control of the immense power, and a strong sense of loss swept over him." We'll choose: "Li Che instantly fell from the grasp of the immense power, and a strong sense of loss swept over him."

But the Unblemished Heart trembled, and that sense of loss vanished like smoke.

But the Unblemished Heart trembled, and this sense of loss vanished like smoke.

Li Che's eyes narrowed as he contemplated how to break the current deadlock.

"Li Che's eyes narrowed as he pondered how to break the current situation." Could be: "Li Che's gaze condensed, thinking about how to break the current situation." We'll do: "Li Che's eyes narrowed as he thought about how to break the current situation."

Too difficult.

"Too difficult."

It's literally a hopeless situation!

"This is practically a dead end!" Or "This is utterly a dead end!" We'll do: "This is utterly a dead end!"

The Equal Heaven will seized the Equal Heaven Armor, its eyes flashing, and drew the Ruyi Golden Cudgel from its chest, hoisting it onto its shoulder.

Equal Heaven's will took control of the Equal Heaven Armor, its eyes gleaming, it drew the Ruyi Golden Cudgel from its chest and hoisted it onto its shoulder.

Five ancient Heaven-and-Earth talismans on the Equal Heaven Armor vibrated, and shards of the armor kept falling; the mechanized armor was already nearing its limit.

"Five ancient heaven-and-earth runes on the Equal Heaven Armor trembled, constantly shedding fragments; this mechanized armor was nearing its limit." We'll translate: "Five ancient heaven-and-earth runes on the Equal Heaven Armor trembled, constantly shedding fragments; this mechanized armor was nearing its limit."

However, Equal Heaven squinted.

However, Equal Heaven narrowed his eyes.

He looked at Li Che and revealed a smile.

Equal Heaven looked at Li Che, revealing a smile.

"Good kid, you've done well enough."

""Good kid, you've done enough."" We'll do: ""Good kid, you've done enough.""

"These gods still don't practice martial virtue."

""Or perhaps these deities don't observe martial virtue."" We'll do: ""Or perhaps these deities don't observe martial virtue.""

"Enough, enough... This old Sun will let them taste my final strike!"

"Enough, enough... This old Sun will let them taste my final strike!"

The core of Equal Heaven began to boil.

"Equal Heaven's origin began to boil." Or "Equal Heaven's primal source began to boil." We'll do: "Equal Heaven's origin began to boil."

Li Che instantly understood Equal Heaven's purpose.

"Li Che instantly understood Equal Heaven's purpose."

However.

"However."

Just as Equal Heaven was mobilizing its core, the boiling never ceased.

"Just as Equal Heaven stirred its origin, boiling without cease," We'll do: "Just as Equal Heaven stirred its origin, boiling without cease,"

A long sigh echoed through the tightly sealed spatial teleportation conduit.

"Between the tightly sealed space‑transfer channels, a long sigh echoed." We'll do: "Between the tightly sealed space‑transfer channels, a long sigh echoed."

The Old Lord's immortal beard and hair fluttered, his aura ethereal and Daoist, his eyes opening and closing.

The Old Lord's immortal beard and hair fluttered, his aura ethereal and Daoist, his eyes opening and closing.

He suddenly looked toward the spot where the Vajra Stones were being suppressed.

"He suddenly gazed at the position suppressed by the Vajra Pestle." We'll translate: "He suddenly gazed at the position suppressed by the Vajra Pestle."

There, hundreds of Vajra Stones trembled incessantly, humming as if about to explode!

"There, thousands of Vajra Pestles trembled incessantly, their humming on the verge of exploding." We'll do: "There, thousands of Vajra Pestles trembled incessantly, their humming on the verge of exploding."

A pale hand slapped forcefully.

"A pale hand suddenly thrust out." We'll do: "A pale hand suddenly thrust out."

In an instant!

"In an instant!" We'll do: "In an instant!"

The Vajra Stones burst outward, turning into countless silver flashes that spilled into the void.

"The Vajra Pestles burst forth, turning into countless silver lights that dissipated into the void." We'll do: "The Vajra Pestles burst forth, turning into countless silver lights that dissipated into the void."

The demon aura of Wa Huang surged skyward, her graceful figure slowly breaking the seal and emerging.

"Nüwa's demonic aura shot to the heavens, her graceful form slowly breaking free of the seal and stepping out." We'll do: "Nüwa's demonic aura shot to the heavens, her graceful form slowly breaking free of the seal and stepping out."

This scene instantly shocked many onlookers.

"This scene instantly shocked many." We'll do: "This scene instantly shocked many."

Pairs of eyes stared in all directions.

"Pairs of eyes turned toward it." We'll do: "Pairs of eyes turned toward it."

The immortal Demon Emperor, his violet hair fluttering, looked bizarrely, his eyes flashing an odd hue: "Wa Huang Empress... what are you trying to do?"

"The Immortal Demon Emperor's purple hair flew wildly, his eyes flashing with strange colors: 'Nüwa Lady... what are you doing?'" We'll do: ""The Immortal Demon Emperor's purple hair flew wildly, his eyes flashing with strange colors: 'Nüwa Lady... what are you doing?'"

"Why are you standing with the Prison Lotus camp?"

""Why stand with the Prison Lotus faction?"" We'll do: ""Why stand with the Prison Lotus faction?""

"You're one of the two Emperors of our Devious Demon Cave!"

""You are one of the Two Emperors of the Guigu Demon Lair!" We'll do: ""You are one of the Two Emperors of the Guigu Demon Lair!""

The immortal Divine Emperor's majestic aura swept over indifferently.

"The Immortal God Emperor's mighty divine power swept over, indifferent." We'll do: "The Immortal God Emperor's mighty divine power swept over, indifferent."

The immortal Golden Toad, its cicada pattern burning the void, radiated Buddha light, also gazing forward.

"The Immortal Golden Toad, its cicada patterns burning the void, Buddha light shining everywhere, also gazed upon." We'll do: "The Immortal Golden Toad, its cicada patterns burning the void, Buddha light shining everywhere, also gazed upon."

Within the Equal Heaven Armor.

"Within the Equal Heaven Armor." We'll do: "Within the Equal Heaven Armor."

Equal Heaven squinted, and the burning, boiling core of Equal Heaven instantly calmed slightly.

"Equal Heaven narrowed his eyes; the blazing, boiling Equal Heaven Origin instantly subsided slightly." We'll do: "Equal Heaven narrowed his eyes; the blazing, boiling Equal Heaven Origin instantly subsided slightly."

It seemed... there was still a chance.

"Seems... there's still a show?" We'll do: "Seems... there's still a show?"

But this Wa Huang... why is she fighting so desperately?

"However, this Nüwa... why is she so desperate?" We'll do: "However, this Nüwa... why is she so desperate?"

Unfortunately, it was only a will descending.

"Unfortunately, it's only a descent of will." We'll do: "Unfortunately, it's only a descent of will."

But even a mere will descending feels off; Wa Huang's enthusiasm is a bit excessive.

"But even if it's just a descent of will, that's not right—this Nüwa is overly enthusiastic." We'll do: "But even if it's just a descent of will, that's not right—this Nüwa is overly enthusiastic."

Equal Heaven was somewhat bewildered.

"Equal Heaven was somewhat at a loss." We'll do: "Equal Heaven was somewhat at a loss."

At this very moment.

"At this very moment." We'll do: "At this very moment."

Wa Huang's will drifted through the void, and around her, endless blooming floral phenomena blossomed.

"Nüwa's will wandered the void, and around her, continual visions of blooming flowers blossomed." We'll do: "Nüwa's will wandered the void, and around her, continual visions of blooming flowers blossomed."

Her gaze turned toward the direction of the Equal Heaven Armor.

"Her gaze turned toward the direction where the Equal Heaven Armor was." We'll do: "Her gaze turned toward the direction where the Equal Heaven Armor was."

As if passing through the interior cabin of the Equal Heaven Armor.

"It seemed to pass through the inner cabin of the Equal Heaven Armor." We'll do: "It seemed to pass through the inner cabin of the Equal Heaven Armor."

She locked eyes with both Li Che and Xixi.

"It met gazes with Li Che and Xixi." We'll do: "It met gazes with Li Che and Xixi."

Her eyes were gentle, carrying a feeling familiar to Li Che.

"Her eyes were soft, bringing a feeling familiar to Li Che." We'll do: "Her eyes were soft, bringing a feeling familiar to Li Che."

Li Che shuddered all over!

"Li Che shuddered all over!" We'll do: "Li Che shuddered all over!"

Xixi's body also jolted in disbelief.

"Xixi's body also trembled, incredulous." We'll do: "Xixi's body also trembled, incredulous."

Xixi turned her head toward Li Che, abruptly grabbing his arm.

"Xixi turned her head to look at Li Che, then jerked his arm." We'll do: "Xixi turned her head to look at Li Che, then jerked his arm."

"Such a familiar feeling..."

""Such a familiar feeling..."" We'll do: ""Such a familiar feeling...""

"It seems like..."

""It seems like..."" We'll do: ""It seems like...""

"Mother?"

""Mother?"" We'll do: ""Mother?""
