Chapter 598: with translation of chapter title

Li Che's eyes were filled with shock, his heart trembling uncontrollably!

Indeed, it's trembling!

A sensation of interwoven electric currents raced up his scalp, making his whole body tingle, a terrifying stimulating force spreading to every inch of his body.

Li Che naturally felt the same sensation that Xixi had described.

After all, compared to perception, Li Che is now far stronger than Xixi; whether it is his Martial Immortal will or his pure heart, Li Che possesses the keenest senses!

Thus, from the gaze of Wa Huang at that moment, the familiar feeling was inevitably perceived!

Moreover, Wa Huang showed no concealment at this moment; her eyes carried a gentleness, a reluctance, and a hope.

"Mother!"

Inside the cabin of the Celestial Equal Vessel, Xixi's eyes suddenly lit up!

Indeed, it must be mother, absolutely!

Xixi leapt up, grabbed Li Che's hand, lifted her head, and from her dark, bright pupils burst an unprecedented dazzling light!

This Wa Huang... is actually mother?

That look, Xixi had seen countless times, a gaze only a mother would give her, and now, in Wa Huang, Xixi felt the same gaze.

Gentle, caring, sorrowful, and reluctant!

Xixi's heart instantly tangled, as if a cold blade lightly sliced across her chest, causing blood to seep out with a bone‑piercing agony.

"Father..."

Xixi opened her mouth.

At this moment, Xixi couldn't even help but pretend.

Cang Yuan and Cang Che, hearing this, looked over in disbelief, for they knew Xixi was the Yulan daughter, and the Yulan daughter was calling a senior "father"?

This Senior Ksitigarbha King was actually the Yulan daughter's father?

Fortunately, this was inside the Celestial Equal Vessel's cabin; only Cang Yuan and Cang Che sensed it, the others did not. If the news spread, it would likely cause a cataclysmic earthquake across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

Because the Yulan daughter's father is actually quite famous throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

The mortal Martial Immortal set the three great divine camps' mortal arrangements ablaze, even the Immortal Will on Earth was shattered and crushed.

It can be said that although the Yulan daughter's father leaves no trace in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, his reputation has long spread far.

Who would have thought that this Senior Ksitigarbha King... was actually that mortal Martial Immortal?!

This news is simply explosive!

But it seems there's something even more explosive...

Cang Yuan and Cang Che exchanged a glance, their heads buzzing, their hearts in their chests feeling as if about to explode.

"Mother?!"

The Yulan daughter... calling who "mother"?

Wa Huang?!

Damn!

Cang Yuan and Cang Che, the two Path‑cutting deities, felt an icy chill all over; what a world‑shaking secret this is.

Is this a secret even beings like them are allowed to know?

At this moment, even the Celestial Equal Vessel was taken aback.

The Qi Tian Will controlling the Celestial Equal Vessel was utterly bewildered at this moment.

What the heck is this...?

Did the Yulan daughter call the wrong person?

Mother? Wa Huang?

Li Che looked at Xixi, and Xixi looked back at Li Che; their gazes met, and the father and daughter both read the message in each other's eyes.

"Perhaps... maybe it is."

Li Che said in a deep voice.

In the next instant, the cabin of the Celestial Equal Vessel fell into a death‑like silence.

Everyone's gaze turned toward the spatial teleportation portal.

Four Immortal Heavens spanned across, their terrifying primordial Immortal Will surged like a great river tide, overwhelmingly oppressive.

Wa Huang broke the seal, and Vajra Shards exploded one after another, turning into streams of light that sliced through the void.

Immortal Lao Jun furrowed his brows, his beard fluttering, raised his hand in a gesture, and Vajra Shards burst forth, hovering in his palm with a resonant clang.

"Wa Huang... are you trying to walk a road into darkness?"

Immortal Lao Jun said gravely.

"How did it come to this?!"

Immortal Lao Jun did not understand.

Not only Immortal Lao Jun, but the other four Immortal Heavens were also puzzled.

Immortal Divine Emperor, Immortal Demon Emperor, and Immortal Golden Cicada—three Immortal Heavens—projected their gazes, powerful eyes filled with boundless will, nearly solidifying the void.

"Wa Huang... why?!"

Immortal Demon Emperor rasped, his violet hair fluttering, staring at Wa Huang's will that forced its way out of the seal, his eyes flickering with tremors.

Wa Huang of the Strange Demon Cave, the most powerful being of that cave, had betrayed in this age's divine tide!

Standing in the Yulan camp, this has such a deadly impact!

In other words, the Strange Demon Cave camp now lacks a pillar Immortal Heaven!

Wa Huang did not answer them, ignored everyone, scanned with her gaze, glanced at the Celestial Equal Vessel, and sighed softly.

"I never imagined this age's divine tide would be forced to this extent."

The Wah Emperor gently shook his head.

"Perhaps, this is the variable."

When the words finished, the Wah Emperor's body began to burst with an ultimate dazzling radiance!

It seemed like a military resolution, but it was merely the Wah Emperor's will descending, so it was only that will being resolved.

But at that moment, the four Celestial Immortals all grew tense, their expressions becoming very solemn.

All flawless, they attended to the Qitian Armor that was trapped within the heaven‑and‑earth chessboard.

Military resolution?

Only the Celestial Immortals knew that at this moment the Wah Emperor was not undergoing a so‑called military resolution, but a summoning!

The true form descends!

"Impossible!"

"The Wah Emperor's true form cannot descend! The Wah Emperor's true form is confronting and suppressing the Nether Death Eye!"

"If the Wah Emperor's true form were to descend, wouldn't that mean the Nether Death Eye would completely lose control and cease to be restrained?"

"The Wah Emperor has gone mad!"

The Immortal Divine Emperor bellowed gravely, leaning on his golden sword; with a sudden stomp, the void erupted in expanding circles of terrifying ripples, and invisible sword light burst forth!

On the other side, the Immortal Demon Emperor also exuded a torrent of demonic aura; his violet hair whirled wildly, as if a terrifying giant purple serpent rose from behind him, the purple serpent seeming to span out from the depths of time and space!

Hei Xumi's Golden Cicada clasped both palms together, endless Buddha light weaving around his body; above his eyes, cicada patterns glowed like fire, gazing faintly without intent to strike.

Boom—!

The attacks of the Immortal Divine Emperor and the Immortal Demon Emperor formed a terrifying suppression, aiming to completely subdue the Wah Emperor whose true form was about to be summoned!

Behind the Wah Emperor, space began to warp; an endless, massive demonic aura, like a black great sun, tore the void as if it had melted, creating an immense black hole within the void!

It was as if heaven and earth shattered, an unhealable true void darkness!

A terrifying suction surged from the true void darkness; it was a genuine black hole, and everything drawn into it would fall into oblivion, a total annihilation!

Even immortal beings felt an extremely terrifying dread!

"Wah Emperor!"

The Immortal Demon Emperor naturally knew what this moment meant.

In his eyes burst disbelief!

He hadn't expected the Wah Emperor could do so!

Buzz—

Within the endless darkness, slowly, it seemed to coalesce into a phantom; around the phantom, ancient runes flickered, creating spatial ripples, as if some entity were being twisted and transmitted here.

Gradually the figure became shrouded by endless demonic aura, the aura warping into a head‑and‑snake body silhouette, its azure hair soaring wildly.

…

…

Yunxiao Village.

Zhang Ya was cultivating inside the house; since Li Che's departure, Zhang Ya had entered a full‑scale cultivation state, continuously refining the divine weapon Li Che left behind.

She planned to boost her own cultivation by tempering the divine weapon, so as not to hold back her husband and daughter.

She knew that now, in Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, her husband and daughter were facing great danger.

Especially her daughter Xixi, being a daughter of the Prison Lotus, was targeted by the three great divine camps, and many ancient villages kept a close watch on her, intending to treat her as a puppet and push her to become a tool for ending the divine tide.

And the final outcome, I fear, will be like those Prison Lotus daughters of previous divine tides, meeting a tragic, falling death!

Such an outcome made Zhang Ya feel powerless.

Because she had always thought of herself as just an ordinary woman.

After marrying her husband, she lived an ordinary life; although her husband constantly transformed and grew stronger, she lacked cultivation talent, and no matter how hard she tried, she could never keep up with her husband and daughter.

Thus she felt powerless; she had long accepted her ordinariness.

She could only work silently, chase silently, and even not strive to catch up, merely hoping not to be pulled too far away, just to be able to see her husband and daughter's silhouettes from a distance.

Huff—

Zhang Ya's whole body burned hot; she didn't mind, having long been accustomed to this sensation.

Each time she refined the divine weapon, extracting its divinity and merging it into her body, a technique called Fusion Weapon Divinity, the whole person would become a divine weapon.

It was the cultivation method Su Da taught her, also the hope she placed in a quick way to become stronger.

However, this cultivation method was actually very painful…

However, each time she cultivated, she never dared to show any sign of pain, only silently endured.

She feared that if she expressed pain, her husband would immediately feel sorry and call a stop.

Not letting her continue this method, Zhang Ya knew her husband would certainly do that.

The nine‑tailed white fox that Su Da had transformed into darted in from outside the house.

"Mistress, shall we rest a while?"

"You've already refined enough; refining the Three Pure Divine Weapons is not a one‑step process, we will take it slowly."

Su Da's voice was very gentle.

At first, Su Da, as a bound spirit assigned by Li Che to protect Zhang Ya, actually held little awe toward this mistress.

More so, because of Li Che, the lord, she obeyed his orders to protect the mistress.

But as she spent more and more time with the mistress.

She began to understand the pressure the mistress bore, and how hard the mistress worked.

Su Da gradually began to admire her.

The lord's flesh is so powerful; the Fusion Weapon Divinity cannot cause any pain to such a mighty body, but for mortal Zhang Ya, it is pain that cannot be…

But, each time…… Zhang Ya endured it.

But when it came to the Three Pure Divine Soldiers, each fusion of soldiers brought boundless pain.

Su Da felt heartache and pain for her.

That was an empathetic pain.

"Little Su Da……"

Su Da transformed into a white fox and darted into Zhang Ya's embrace.

Zhang Ya's body trembled, scorching hot, every inch of her sinews and bones trembling and spasming.

"Something's not right……"

Su Da's heart jumped, a surge of fear instantly rising in her chest.

"Mistress! What's wrong with you?!"

Su Da screamed.

Did the soldier-fusion divine technique fail?

That shouldn't be like this; even if the soldier fusion failed, at most one would vomit blood—it's utterly impossible to end up like this!

"I…… I don't know either……"

Zhang Ya collapsed limp in the chair, her chest heaving violently, her eyes beginning to gradually lose focus.

Su Da opened her mouth, and countless divine essence gushed out, flowing into Zhang Ya's body, intending to help Zhang Ya sort out her internal energy.

However……

Pfft!

Su Da coughed up blood violently, her body shooting out and slamming hard against the wall.

She shattered the wall and plowed a huge trench into the ground.

Su Da struggled to rise from the ground, wobbling, and with a bang, the divine shackle exploded.

But soon, Su Da recondensed into form, her tail flicking as she darted over at high speed.

"Mistress!"

Su Da was extremely anxious.

She was somewhat at a loss, being a divine spirit, yet at this moment she actually didn't know what to do.

Could a mistake in cultivating the soldier-fusion divine technique produce such a situation?

It shouldn't be like that!

Zhang Ya slowly closed her eyes, her flesh turning completely crimson, her fair, crystalline skin seeming to become red agate, bewitching glass.

Su Da panicked, completely panicked, not knowing what had happened to Zhang Ya's body.

She tried again, but this time the terrifying power gave her no leeway to ease, and it exploded outright.

Black mist roiled, Su Da condensed into form once more, her face pale, wobbling.

Being annihilated by the terrifying power within Zhang Ya's body, each of her recoveries as a divine shackle required consuming more energy.

It was as if a single extinction had been ground away a hundred, a thousand times!

Su Da gritted her teeth, not giving up, wanting to discover clearly what had happened to her mistress.

As a divine shackle, absolute loyalty prevented her from easily giving up.

"Enough, Little Su Da……"

Zhang Ya struggled to open her eyes and spoke.

Her body had completely turned blood-colored, as if every blood vessel were visible.

"No…… Mistress, you must not come to harm!"

Su Da's voice trembled with tears.

Su Da, the fox demon emperor, clung to her foxish mind, persisting in approaching and again releasing a vast, boundless divinity.

However……

Zhang Ya's gaze suddenly turned cold, as if in an instant she had transformed from a mortal into a lofty, supreme divine spirit.

"Enough."

Boom——!!!

The sound was filled with boundless majesty.

Su Da went limp all over and collapsed directly onto the ground.

This was not an irresistible pressure from the divine shackle sovereign, but a trace of boundless aura leaking from a true, boundless terrifying existence!

Rumble——!

The terrifying aura burst forth from Cloud Dawn Village in an instant, like a sky-piercing pillar of light that shattered the void!

The entire Cloud Dawn Village trembled in that moment.

"What?!"

The village elder Tuoba Lian, who was stationed outside Cloud Dawn Village confronting the Nirvana powerhouse sent by the Dark Heaven Court, felt his hairs stand on end.

He suddenly turned back, feeling a chill all over his body—that was an extreme terror pressure.

"This…… this is……"

"Immortal?!"

Not only Tuoba Lian,

Even the Nirvana sovereigns from the Dark Heaven Court outside the ancient village were, at this moment, shocked to the extreme, their bodies tensed.

How could there be an immortal in Cloud Dawn Village?!

What kind of heaven‑shaking joke is this!

Inside the village.

Su Da stared blankly.

Gazing at the boundless terrifying aura erupting from the mistress Zhang Ya's body, that was… demonic qi!

This is how familiar the demonic qi is to Su Da!

Demonic qi surged like a tide, forming light pillars that coiled together, shooting straight up into the heavens!

Then, vaguely, it seemed as if a blurry illusion of a human-headed serpent-bodied figure floated within the demonic qi light pillars.

The originally dazed Su Da suddenly let out a sharp scream at this moment.

Nine tails suddenly unfurled!

"Nuwa… Nuwa Empress?!"

Zhang Ya's gaze was indifferent, sweeping over as she let out a light sigh.

In her eyes, indifference and humanity constantly flickered, intertwined, constantly struggling and colliding.

After a long while.

Zhang Ya lifted her head.

She took a step, the blurry serpent-body illusion intertwining and appearing, then swayed.

Boom—

It directly spread beyond the ancient village of the heavens.

Those divine spirits of the Dark Heavenly Court—Nirvana, half-step Nirvana, Dao Slashing, etc. —standing in confrontation outside the ancient village.

All of them instantly exploded and were extinguished!

In an instant, their souls were slain by the terrifying power!

The ancient village's ancestor, Tuoba Lian, stood frozen like a wooden chicken.

Watching Zhang Ya soar skyward, drifting toward the enormous, shattered dark vortex in the heavens that the demonic qi light pillar had blasted open.

As Zhang Ya entered the black hole, her gaze fell and she locked eyes with Tuoba Lian for a moment.

Tuoba Lian's eyes of the ancient village's ancestor violently fluctuated, his exceedingly aged face beginning to tremble.

Zhang Ya's eyes were profoundly deep, she gave him a deep look.

Tuoba Lian gave a bitter smile, as if at this moment all his secrets had been seen through in a single glance.

Tuoba Lian bitterly smiled and shook his head, his gaze complex.

He did not know what the purpose of such an existence was.

But, he knew…

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are about to undergo a great upheaval!

The Eighth Generation God Tide may be heading toward an unimaginable direction!

To enter the fray with one's own body?

Indeed worthy of being the Nuwa Empress…

Tuoba Lian clasped his fists in salute and bowed deeply.

……

……

Rumble—

The void kept collapsing, the entire space passage seeming as if it were about to snap apart!

You must know, this is a space passage jointly opened by many heavenly immortals, thoroughly polished to be extremely sturdy, certainly not comparable to turbulent void.

The space's toughness far exceeds imagination; even a Nirvana monarch's all-out attack cannot tear a rift in the void of the space passage.

But at this moment, the space transmission passage seemed as if it were about to completely rupture!

That true void black hole seemed capable of annihilating everything.

Within the black hole, a figure with a human head and serpent body slowly emerged.

The serpent tail twisted in the void, the rubbing sound accompanying the space's glass-like shattering resonance.

All gazes were fixed upon that black hole.

Slowly, a woman came into view, dragging a iridescent seven-colored serpent tail, slowly appearing.

Her black hair flowed like a waterfall, her upper body clad in a tight cheongsam embroidered with golden lotus patterns.

It perfectly outlined her graceful figure.

At this moment, the gazes of the Immortal God Emperor, Immortal Demon Emperor, Immortal Golden Cicada, and the Immortal Old Master all slightly narrowed.

Yet while focusing, they also secretly let out a sigh of relief.

"Nuwa… reincarnated body!"

The heavenly-earthly chessboard shrouded the void.

At the heavenly origin position, the Qitian Jia stood upon it.

At this moment, inside the cabin of the Qitian Jia.

Li Che saw the graceful figure emerging from the black hole, his eyes involuntarily tightening, his soul shaken, incredulous.

Xixi even directly covered her mouth, her eyes filled with astonishment, joy, bewilderment…

The Qitian will let out an 'aiyo' and scratched his ears and cheeks.

How did this situation become something this old monkey can't understand?

"Xiao Ya…"

Li Che murmured, his body trembling, how could it be Zhang Ya…

My wife is Nuwa?!

The Immaculate Heart trembled, causing Li Che's mind and spirit to instantly become clear.

He took a deep breath, clenched his five fingers into a fist; that woman was definitely Zhang Ya, no mistake—the embroidered gold lotus cheongsam on her upper body was exactly what Li Che had designed.

And the embroidered gold lotus robe on Li Che's body was a complete set.

At this moment, what the woman wore was Zhang Ya's cheongsam.

Li Che's gaze fell upon the woman's hazy, majestic divine visage; he could not see it clearly, but his intuition told him it was Zhang Ya……

Perhaps she sensed Li Che's gaze.

The divine aura on the woman's face dissipated, revealing an exquisite visage that was seventy to eighty percent like Zhang Ya's, yet it became more noble, more miraculous, and supreme!

"Dad... it's really Mom!"

Xixi gripped Li Che's hand tightly, her voice trembling.

"Mom... Mom, why have you appeared now? What are you intending to do?" Xixi couldn't help thinking, and couldn't help asking.

This situation at this moment can truly be called a desperate plight.

Can Mom alone handle this?

Four Heavenly Immortals……

With such a lineup, any Heavenly Immortal would likely have to retreat!

In Li Che's chest, the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit incessantly trembled, gradually calming his mind and spirit, gradually bringing him peace.

He closed his eyes.

At this very moment, he suddenly came to some understanding……

Originally, he thought that each Dao Fruit awakened due to his bond with Xixi were without pattern, awakening haphazardly.

But now, upon seeing his wife Zhang Ya's identity, his heart involuntarily trembled slightly, realizing that perhaps each Dao Fruit actually had a special connection.

"Xiao Ya……"

Nüwa's reincarnated form!

Li Che drew a deep breath, so that's how it is……

He looked at Xixi; no wonder Xixi became the Hell Lotus Maiden.

All these coincidences and opportunities were actually long-planned schemes!

It turns out that, within this family, he Li Che…… is the most ordinary one!

He belongs to the one who should have been eliminated first!

His wife is Nüwa, his daughter is the Hell Lotus Maiden; both will be existences that sweep through this era's divine tide, bringing absolute charm!

They are the true existences that will stir up the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

And he Li Che, if not for the bond awakened by his daughter Xixi's birth……

He would be nothing.

Li Che closed his eyes.

Nüwa……

To enter the game with his very self?!

What is the purpose?

To end this nine-world divine tide? As the mother of the Hell Lotus Maiden, is it to end everything in this divine tide?!

To enter the game with his self, there must be some calculation; but what is that calculation?

Li Che felt his mind become somewhat chaotic at this moment.

But soon, he suddenly opened his eyes.

The Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart throbbed and trembled, suppressing all thoughts.

He no longer pondered, nor cared about Nüwa's purpose.

He only knew, at this moment……

His wife Zhang Ya was stepping forward, blocking the four Heavenly Immortals for him, standing with him against the four pinnacle existences of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

"Nüwa is Nüwa… this reincarnated form is my wife!"

"She is my Li Che's wife, Zhang Ya!"

Li Che suddenly opened his eyes.

His resolve solidified, no longer wavering, Li Che drew a deep breath and stared fixedly at the distant battlefield.

……

……

"Nüwa's reincarnated form……"

"Unbelievable."

The Immortal Demon Emperor's purple hair flew wildly; behind him, the purple giant serpent resembled a cosmic beast, looming forward, each star upon its serpentine body appearing infinitesimally small.

"Nüwa… what exactly are you scheming?!"

"An existence like yours, manifesting a reincarnated form, to traverse the Netherworld and pass the scrutiny of the Netherworld Sovereign, the cost must be enormous!"

"What exactly are you plotting?"

The Immortal Demon Emperor bellowed in a low voice.

The God Emperor, Laozi, and the Golden Cicada—these three Heavenly Immortals—also narrowed their eyes, pondering, yet for a moment could not guess Nüwa's purpose.

Laozi formed hand seals, but his deductions yielded only illusion and vagueness!

It seemed as if some terrifying existence was obscuring the heavenly secrets.

Why would Nüwa's reincarnated form reveal her identity and act at this moment?

"For whom?"

The Old Lord's brows furrowed as he began to ponder.

Suddenly, their gaze condensed.

"Prison Lotus Maiden!"

"Nüwa's reincarnated form will surely become an existence extremely closely related to the Prison Lotus Maiden, seeking to unite with the Prison Lotus Maiden... in this era's divine tide, to plot a great scheme!"

The Old Lord drew a deep breath.

He stared at Nüwa.

An extremely unbelievable idea surged into his heart and mind.

"Nüwa..."

You didn't reincarnate as the mother of the Hell Lotus Maiden, did you?!

The Old Lord's words instantly thundered like a clap of shock across the space-transmission channel.

Everyone was stunned; all the gods, buddhas, and demons fell into silence and shock.

The Immortal Demon Emperor's purple hair flew wildly as they unleashed a scream of utmost fury.

"Nüwa! You've gone mad!"

"With such a noble status and bloodline! How can you couple with a lowly mortal of the world?!"
