Chapter 602: Breakout Battle: God‑Slaying One Sword Cuts Down Equal Heaven, Earth Village Ancestor
Li Che is the champion of the Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly!
Moreover, he had long since deciphered the transmission platform; for him, repairing and improving the transmission platform is basically no difficulty, with no problems at all.
Therefore, this is Li Che's greatest confidence in this scheme he has plotted.
Li Che, among the great army gathered by the three great divine gods factions, naturally has planted his own spies—none other than the Young Emperor Ji Shaohao.
After Ji Shaohao was slain by Li Che, he has become a captured god, the most loyal captured god, naturally transmitting messages to Li Che at any time and place.
Li Che knows the situation of the three great divine gods allied forces crystal clear; their action plans are basically under his control.
It's as if Li Che has an eye high above, looking down on them.
Even if they are earth immortals, so what?
As long as they cannot see through that Ji Shaohao is Li Che's captured god, Li Che's spy cannot possibly be exposed.
After all, who could imagine that Ji Shaohao… would actually become Li Che's spy?
And on the side of the three great divine gods allied forces, because of Ji Shaohao's status as Young Emperor, they basically belong to the high command, knowing all information very clearly.
Twelve earth immortals, several heavenly kings—such a terrifying lineup, even Li Che dare not lightly touch it.
Even if he has the Equal Heaven Armor, what then?
Facing such a lineup, it's simply being stretched thin.
After all, the three disciples of the Heaven-Reaching God Emperor, wielding three divine god swords, can already restrain the Equal Heaven.
How to deal with the remaining nine earth immortals?
Basically impossible to solve; the strengths of the two sides are not on the same level.
Now Li Che leads the migration of the three ancient villages, belonging to the Prison Lotus Sect, while the three great divine gods factions have operated in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths for ages, their power immense and foundation deep.
The Prison Lotus Sect, each time a god tide surges, is essentially washed clean again, basically lacking any strong foundation.
Therefore, Li Che cannot possibly go head-to-head with the allied forces of the three great divine gods factions.
Moreover, he is still accompanied by so many villagers.
Li Che would never go seek death.
Moreover, because Fengdu City has not yet been repaired, Li Che fundamentally cannot accommodate the villagers into Fengdu City, setting out alone.
If it were just one person migrating and breaking out, the difficulty should not be too great.
Unfortunately, time does not wait for Li Che, giving him no chance to continue resting and recuperating.
If they do not migrate, the three ancient villages will surely be destroyed, and all villagers will be killed.
Having suppressed and sealed four heaven immortals, the three great divine gods factions have surely entered a state of fury.
In this state, Li Che certainly cannot choose direct confrontation; he must resort to some scheming.
At this moment, Ji Shaohao, this fallen pawn, exerts the effect he should have, like a clever move, completely reviving a dead game!
Of course, the current Li Che merely revives the situation; he cannot devour the opposing side.
Boom—
Li Che's eyes burst forth brilliant light; the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit rings and vibrates.
The carving knife is like light, flying swiftly, sweeping out, slashing each divine eagle in turn, beginning to cut and repair the divine eagles, raising their divine essence.
He also expands the formation of the transmission platform, making the anchor point's position more firm, engraving the void, so it is not easily collapsed.
He repairs this transmission platform of Enter Mystic Mountain, which has the poorest bearing capacity in the Profound Heavens, to be comparable to the top‑grade transmission platforms of the Profound Heavens.
Earth Village Ancestor Tuoba Lian stared, eyes wide, constantly showing strange and incredulous colors.
"This Enter Mystic Mountain… actually has no strong experts of the three great divine gods factions guarding it; the sole gap, was it actually found by Earth Store?"
"How did he do it?"
Tuoba Lian, this extremely old man who has fought against the three great divine gods factions all his life, an old warrior, at this moment feels a deep shock.
It feels as if Li Che has placed an eye atop the heads of the three great divine gods factions, surveilling their movements clearly.
Truly too incredulous!
And when Tuoba Lian sees Li Che actually carving and modifying the divine eagle immortals on the transmission platform, he understands Li Che's plan.
This is simply walking on a steel wire; a little carelessness leads to ten thousand calamities.
If the three great divine gods factions lock onto their position and swiftly transmit over, that is like catching a turtle in a jar—nobody can escape.
"Earth Store… such Earth Store… simply more terrifying than the Prison Lotus Maiden."
Tuoba Lian draws a deep breath, praising without end.
His old, turbid eyes cannot help but burst forth brilliant light; his heart trembles endlessly.
Is it…
Will the powerhouse who ends this Eighth Generation God Tide not be the Prison Lotus Maiden?
But this Earth Store?
…
…
Buzz buzz buzz—
The transmission platform keeps vibrating.
Each divine eagle erupts with ultimate gorgeous light; spacetime power ripples spread, making the void undulate like water.
Then, above Enter Mystic Mountain, at the huge transmission platform's center, one after another figure appears, transmitted, their bodies covered with light that is hard to dissipate in a short time!
Exactly the divine spirit army transmitted from the Profound Heavens' thirty‑three layered heaven secret realm.
Four strands of immortal qi crisscross, condensing the air into substance, as if about to utterly explode and shatter.
God‑Slaying Immortal crosses his arms, holding the God‑Slaying Sword in his bosom, steps forward; terrifying sword light instantly cuts the figure floating in midair into two halves.
With a puff, that figure directly explodes into thick black mist!
Upon seeing this black mist, the eyes of the God‑Slaying Immortal suddenly darkened, his whole body trembling slightly.
Damn it! We've fallen into a trap!
The God‑Slaying Immortal shouted loudly.
Terrifying sword qi burst from his body in an instant, turning into an extremely sharp blade of light that swept outward in all directions.
Instantly black mist and blood spurted up, shooting into the sky.
Some of that black mist was naturally Li Che's painted‑immortal clone planted to mislead the various divine factions—one of their foundations.
Fake!
The Earth Store didn't even bring the villagers of the three ancient villages here to teleport and migrate!
We've been duped!
The God‑Slaying Immortal said coldly.
Shao Jie, Fu Xi and the other young emperors' expressions shifted slightly.
How could this be?
How could the intelligence of the three divine factions suffer such a huge mistake?
You know each Entrance to Mystic Mountain has their own spies constantly watching the teleportation of the Earth Store King and others!
The Earth Store King and his party must use the teleportation platform of Entrance to Mystic Mountain if they want to go to the Hell Lotus Realm!
Mark all the Entrance to Mystic Mountain locations in the Xuanxiao Heaven that have teleportation platforms; those we judged incapable of large‑scale teleportation could very well be where the Earth Store party will teleport!
Shao Jie pressed his palms together, his eyes flickering, and spoke calmly while thinking.
The God‑Slaying Immortal glanced at him.
A Great Immortal Golden Peng floated over, marking all the teleportation platforms in Xuanxiao Heaven that originally couldn't handle large‑scale teleportation due to insufficient capacity.
But there turned out to be more than one such Entrance to Mystic Mountain.
Search them one by one! Contact the cultivators guarding each Entrance to Mystic Mountain; as soon as we confirm whether we can reach them, we'll know which teleportation platform the Earth Store group chose!
The God‑Slaying Immortal immediately arranged it.
The atmosphere of the allied forces of the three divine factions became extremely oppressive.
No one expected that the allied forces, having just set out on campaign, would immediately encounter such an obstacle.
This lifetime's Hell Lotus faction seems even more cunning and harder to deal with than the Hell Lotus factions of previous divine tides!
The Nirvana sovereigns of the Dark Heavenly Court who oversee the teleportation platforms began contacting each Entrance to Mystic Mountain one by one.
Suddenly, a Nirvana sovereign furrowed his brow slightly, his thoughts shifting, his brows and eyes trembling violently.
Found it!
Hum—
The God‑Slaying Immortal instantly approached, his mighty immortal will radiating out, immediately sensing the past through this Entrance to Mystic Mountain's connection.
However, the immortal will's perception was quickly severed, swallowed by the raging spatial turbulence.
The spatial anchor point has been erased… indeed… what a cunning Earth Store King!
The God‑Slaying Immortal's face looked extremely grim.
He immediately ordered the allied forces to be teleported to that Entrance to Mystic Mountain, but it was simply impossible.
Impossible, the enemy altered the Entrance to Mystic Mountain's teleportation platform; our anchor point cannot establish a connection!
If this continues, those of the Hell Lotus faction will all migrate away from the Xuanxiao Heaven!
The God‑Slaying Immortal's complexion was grim.
No one expected that everyone had been played.
You all catch up later; I will first take command of the Realm‑Border City Gate within the spatial passage!
The Hell Lotus faction must pass through the Realm‑Border City Gate to teleport away; if we delay any longer, it will be too late!
Boom—
The God‑Slaying Immortal tossed out a sentence, drew his God‑Slaying Sword, and terrifying sword light instantly cleaved the void; his whole being became like a sword light stretching across the starry sky as he sped forward.
The other allied forces of the three divine factions stared at each other in disbelief.
However, eventually an immortal stepped forward and confirmed the next plan.
Everyone tried to slash through the void and rush into the spatial passage, which is absolutely the wrong move—it would destroy the passage and cause it to collapse.
Therefore, they cannot recklessly charge in like the God‑Slaying Immortal did.
They can only choose to teleport into the spatial passage and race to the Realm‑Border Fortress of the Xuanxiao Heaven!
There they will meet up with the God‑Slaying Immortal!
Rumble—
The spatial passage began to violently tremble, as if it could barely endure before collapsing.
Being forcibly torn open by an Earth Immortal rushing through has a huge impact on the newly opened spatial passage.
If this happens several more times, the passage may not withstand the strain and collapse, and repairing it would stir up trouble.
……
……
Done!
Li Che's engraving knife suddenly whipped up a dazzling blade of light, as if tearing apart and illuminating the night.
Every Golden Peng was upgraded by Li Che; under the boost of the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit's tremor, his Golden Peng craftsmanship reached its peak, and the modification speed reached an unprecedented height.
Li Che was very satisfied with this carving.
Even the feedback to the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit brought a notable increase in its maturity!
A stir of mind and spirit triggered the teleportation platform's transfer.
Everyone, run!
Li Che's mind stirred, and the Heaven and Earth Chessboard swept up everyone.
And when Li Che activated the transmission platform, achieving transmission.
In his mind, news from Ji Shao Hao arrived instantly; Ji Shao Hao told Li Che that the God-Slaying Immortal had torn open a space passage.
"What a God-Slaying Immortal, refusing to die, even risking the collapse of the space passage, just to forcibly block us?"
Li Che's face, covered by a white jade mask, showed a hint of cold severity.
Hum—
The transmission platform's light burst forth.
Sweeping up Li Che, as well as the villagers of the three great ancient villages carried by his Heaven and Earth Chessboard, they all vanished.
Boom—
Seven-colored streams of light burst forth without cease.
The Heaven and Earth Chessboard enveloped the villagers of the three great ancient villages; Li Che's expression turned solemn, and his profound immortal will trembled incessantly.
In fact, even after the transmission platform was improved, transmitting such a huge number of people remained extremely taxing for Li Che.
But there was no choice; this was the only way to escape.
Otherwise, the allied forces of the three divine camps would come slaughtering; with such a lineup, Li Che could not cope.
Everyone would be suppressed.
By then, Li Che would likely have to abandon the villagers of the three great ancient villages.
Li Che stood with his hands behind his back, positioned at the forefront of the transmission array, his dark robe fluttering, his white jade mask reflecting the seven-colored light, constantly flowing.
By his side, Tuoba Lian also stood, her expression solemn.
Boom—
Soon, the high-speed transmission array's speed slowed and came to a halt.
A massive citadel appeared before them, namely the citadel of the Xuanxiao Heaven.
The Earth Immortal within the citadel had long abandoned it and left.
Therefore, upon reaching this citadel, they should have been able to pass through unimpeded.
On Tuoba Lian's aged face, a hint of anticipation and excitement inevitably appeared.
As long as they charged out of the Xuanxiao Heaven's citadel, broke through this heavenly domain, and entered other space passages, it would basically be smooth sailing.
Because the strongmen of the allied forces of the three divine camps, who were besieging them, were all in Xuanxiao Heaven.
As long as they transmitted out, they would basically escape the allied forces' encirclement.
When hope was right before their eyes.
Then a despairing scene would always appear, blocking the way, thrusting a foot in!
A terrifying sword light, humming resonantly, instantly fell from beyond space, its dreadful sword qi filled with an aura of annihilation!
Countless sword qi cascaded down, then swirled around a figure.
It was a figure clutching a divine sword, landing on the citadel's ramparts, his black hair dancing wildly, his gaze icy cold, his pupils reflecting countless sword glints!
"Finally... I found you!"
The God-Slaying Immortal embraced the God-Slaying Sword with both hands, standing upon the citadel.
Looking down coldly, he gazed at the villagers of the three great ancient villages swirling within the transmission array, and at Li Che standing at its forefront.
The terrifying immortal will swept like a storm.
The oppressive feeling was extremely terrifying!
The villagers of the three great ancient villages instantly felt the dreadful immortal pressure; their legs went limp, and they had no strength to even twitch.
Li Che lifted his head, his eyes utterly cold.
"God-Slaying Immortal..."
He let out a light sigh in his heart.
He hadn't expected that, in the end, they would still be caught up.
However, Li Che knew they couldn't waste time.
The God-Slaying Immortal had descended by forcefully slashing open a space passage.
And the other eleven immortals, as well as the allied forces of the three divine camps, were rushing over via the grand Ru Xian Mountain transmission platform.
So, once delayed by the God-Slaying Immortal, the problem would become extremely serious.
Then they would have to face the encirclement of the three divine camps' allied forces head-on!
Such a lineup is something the current Hell Lotus Camp could never resist!
His mind stirred.
Qi Tian Jia roared into the sky instantly.
Roar—!
The Heaven and Earth Ancient Runes burst forth instantly, five Heaven and Earth Ancient Runes rotating between the space passages!
"Senior Qi Tian! Beat him to death!"
Li Che's eyes were sharp.
"Hey!"
"A mere Earth Immortal dares to block this old monkey?"
Qi Tian Jia's eyes suddenly burst with blazing light, that being the will of Qi Tian reviving within, the origin of Qi Tian beginning to boil and burn.
Hum—
The As-You-Will Golden Hooped Staff trembled, instantly rising up, terrifying staff shadows layered upon layered, as if shattering the very void!
Perhaps he also knows how urgent the situation is now, so as soon as Qi Tian makes a move, he gives it his all!
The five ancient heaven-earth symbols light up one by one, causing the might of Qi Tian's armor to blaze fully!
As soon as he makes a move, it is his strongest means!
Victorious Battle Secret Technique!
Boom!
Matching the battle power of the Heavenly Immortal level, it leaves the God-Slaying Immortal unable to remain calm, his expression turning extremely solemn.
But in his eyes there is no fear, only extreme fervor!
"Come!"
"Fight!"
"Finally I can unleash my full strength!"
"Qi Tian!"
"Then I will use your supreme Qi Tian power, O demon monkey, to help me touch the barrier of the Heavenly Immortal!"
The God-Slaying Immortal lets out a long roar.
The God-Slaying Sword clasped in his arms instantly bursts forth with a clang!
As if it has come alive!
Qi Tian's staff smashes down fiercely, clearing all air waves, instantly turning the spatial passage into a vacuum; the entire city gate shakes violently, as if it will be cracked and shattered under the staff, finally collapsing with a boom!
The God-Slaying Immortal's whole body trembles, his aura blazing, the seven-colored divine light wheel behind him spinning incessantly, his immortal essence boiling!
With a long roar, the sword light sweeps past!
A huge blood-red sword scar is torn into the spatial passage.
As if……
The void is bleeding!
God-Slaying Sword!
An extremely intense blood color instantly appears, high and horizontal in the spatial passage, overwhelmingly domineering, fiercely slashing toward the Ruyi Golden Cudgel!
Bang——!!!
The terrifying two attacks collide in the void, space instantly showing countless storm-like cracks spreading, everything seeming to be annihilated!
The God-Slaying Immortal stands upon the city tower, bearing the terrifying pressure descending from Qi Tian's armor.
Ultimately, there still exists a huge gap between the Heavenly Immortal level and the Earthly Immortal level!
And the God-Slaying Immortal, though an Earthly Immortal, harbors an ambitious desire to charge into the Heavenly Immortal level!
Ding——
A crisp sound.
The God-Slaying Sword rebounds back.
And the God-Slaying Immortal has already stepped down from the city tower, gripping the sword.
Then, he slashes out again!
Hum——
What seems to be an extremely casual sword, wherever it passes, the void only lightly ripples, causing blood light to undulate.
But that blood light instantly spreads uncontrollably, in an instant enveloping the entire spatial passage!
Everything within everyone's sight is drowned by the blood-colored sword light!
"God-Slaying Sword!"
The God-Slaying Immortal lets out a long roar.
This is his strongest sword inherited from the Heaven-Reaching Divine Emperor.
The blood-colored sword light once again surges skyward from the God-Slaying Immortal's body, vast and mighty, like an azure dragon emerging from the abyss, the sword light like dragon claws, tearing apart space and all things!
Kill kill kill!
The terrifying sword intent seems to want to infect everyone's souls.
The villagers of the three ancient villages of the Prison Lotus seem, at this moment, to be about to completely fall into madness like demonic carvings!
"Such a sword!"
Li Che's heart is greatly startled; this God-Slaying Immortal is truly mad!
Because Li Che sees the God-Slaying Immortal, under Qi Tian's staff, his flesh unable to bear the load, about to be crushed by the will of Victorious Battle!
His whole body is bleeding, yet he still angrily slashes out such a terrifying sword!
He wants to slay everything!
"This is the God-Slaying Sword Intent……"
"One of the most terrifying divine swords wielded by the Heaven-Reaching Divine Emperor……"
A sigh emanates from beside Li Che.
Li Che turns his head and sees the ancient ancestor of the Earth Village, Tuoba Lian, his face full of vicissitudes, his back bent, letting out incessant sighs.
And an intangible will undulation spreads from his body.
It eases the will of the villagers affected by the God-Slaying Immortal's will.
"The time left for us probably isn't much……"
Tuoba Lian looks toward Li Che.
His gaze is profound; at this moment, he has a forward-moving aura and a resolute will.
"Qi Tian is very strong, having recovered to his peak state…… enough to match the Heavenly Immortal."
"But the God-Slaying Immortal is the foremost disciple under the Heaven-Reaching Divine Emperor, wielding the God-Slaying Sword, possessing some of the Heaven-Reaching Divine Emperor's bearing."
His sword could not slay Qi Tian, yet it could delay Qi Tian...
Tuoba Lian said.
We must find a way to break the situation.
Senior...
Tuoba Lian let out a sigh.
Earth Store King... The future growth of the Prison Lotus Maiden rests on you; your actions, old man, I have seen them all, I am reassured, I trust...
You will surely not disappoint the Prison Lotus Maiden; you can bring the Prison Lotus Maiden back to the Prison Lotus Land, bathe in the Prison Lotus Mound Pool...
Tuoba Lian's hunched body slowly straightened.
His eyes suddenly burst forth with ultimate brilliant light, his will trembled, as if boiling in the void.
Li Che's visage beneath the white jade mask changed slightly.
Tuoba Lian's aura, as if breaking some shackles, rose rapidly, rapidly growing stronger!
This was, by burning vitality as the price, forcibly striking to shatter the immortal barrier?!
Boom—
A long howl.
Tuoba Lian's hair flew upward; behind him, the Nine Abyss Life-Death Road loomed into being.
At the peak of the Life-Death Road, a blurry silhouette slowly revealed its true form—that was a youth!
His gaze was bright, his waist straight as a rod!
That was Tuoba Lian in his youth, likewise Tuoba Lian at the peak of vitality!
As it turned out, the Earth Village Ancestor Tuoba Lian had always possessed the strength of a Nirvana Heavenly King!
What we lack now is time!
We cannot let the God-Slaying Immortal delay time!
And the God-Slaying Immortal's all power, all strength source, comes from that God-Slaying Sword!
Tuoba Lian's eyes shone brightly; he looked toward Li Che, and also toward the silent villagers of the Three Great Ancient Villages.
He also looked toward the villagers of Earth Village.
A hint of sorrow appeared in his gaze.
Because, he had known this long ago...
The villagers of Earth Village had already died once before; earlier, when Earth Village suffered slaughter, the villagers were already dead...
Merely having been revived by the Earth Store King's means, and now, with will aflame, having completed the Heavenly King's ultimate burning, briefly stepping into the transformation of immortality.
He finally saw clearly; actually, the Earth Village villagers...
... were indeed dead.
... merely alive in another way.
But...
Death, after all, is death!
It's all because this ancestor of his failed to protect them...
Tuoba Lian raised his head and let out a long sigh, his gaze fixed on the God-Slaying Immortal!
Kill!
He stepped forward.
The youthful Tuoba Lian, filled with sorrow, let out a battle cry, as if carrying endless sorrow and also the hatred of revenge!
The ancestor is incompetent!
Today, I avenge you!
Tuoba Lian let out a long howl!
His whole body leapt sideways into the void, each step birthing a lotus, madly charging toward the God-Slaying Immortal who wields the God-Slaying Sword!
The God-Slaying Immortal's eyes were icy and ruthless to the extreme.
Courting death!
Having forcibly broken through the Heavenly King Barrier, stepped into the Immortal Level, this immortality achieved by burning life as price, actually dares to threaten him?
Hum—
The God-Slaying Sword flashed out in an instant!
Yet Tuoba Lian, fearless, flung his arms wide, directly colliding with the God-Slaying Immortal's sword strike!
Pfft—
The God-Slaying Sword instantly pierced Tuoba Lian's body!
Yet, at the instant that sword pierced Tuoba Lian's body, the God-Slaying Immortal's expression underwent a violent change!
Madman!
The God-Slaying Immortal's cheek twitched, wanting to draw the All Gods Sword!
Yet, the sword blade that had entered Tuoba Lian's body was actually entwined by countless writhing drops of blood!
The blood turned into chains, clanking, tightly binding the God-Slaying Sword!
Tuoba Lian's hands also grasped the razor-sharp blade!
The crimson blood, as if turning into agate beads, scattered from the void, pattering onto the void like jewels falling onto a tray.
Beneath the white jade mask.
Li Che watched, utterly shocked!
The villagers of the Three Great Ancient Villages also looked dazed.
The younger generations of Earth Village, Tuoba Li, Tuoba Xiu, etc., had their eyes blurred with tears.
「Get lost! 」
The Immortal Slayer of Gods roared!
Terrifying sword qi raged and burst forth, wanting to rush open and slash apart Tuoba Lian's body, forcibly drawing the sword, yet actually unable to pull the sword out from Tuoba Lian's body!
Watching the panic flash across the eyes of the Immortal of All Gods.
Tuoba Lian threw back his head and laughed loudly, his voice deafening, causing the entire space passage to violently tremble!
「Hahaha! 」
「I will feed my body to the sword, turning it into a sheath to suppress your God‑Slayer Sword! 」
「Great Sage Equal to Heaven! 」
「Give it to me, old man…」
「Beat him to death! 」
