Chapter 620: Martial Immortal's Heaven-Opening Grand Dao: Lone Stride to Prove the Immortality Realm, Heaven-Opening

Heaven-Opening, true Heaven-Opening!

He directly tore and cleaved the Primordial Thunder Heaven, creating a huge gap, like a long river winding and coiling above it, roaring like a dragon; countless world origins lost control and poured down in torrents from the torn gap!

This is the foundation of heaven and earth, the source of the source!

Li Che, using Martial Immortal Heaven-Opening, forcefully tore open the barrier of heaven and earth, completely unreasonable.

With one person's strength, he shook heaven and earth!

Waterfalls poured down continuously from the torn heavenly canopy, like a celestial waterfall striking Li Che's body, constantly kicking up mists of bewildering heaven and earth.

Li Che's physical body gleamed brightly, like a blazing sun at its zenith, each cell operating to devour these origins.

Li Che's so-called Heaven-Opening was not merely tearing open the Primordial Thunder Heaven; it was also opening up his own cultivated Dao, dividing it into heaven and earth, forging a brand-new world that belongs solely to the heaven and earth he controls.

The Martial Dao River split in two, the upper part rising as heaven, the lower sinking as earth.

Like yin and yang dividing, the cycles turning, this was Li Che's goal and purpose; now, after completing his breakthrough, he formally shattered the bottleneck and successfully achieved it!

He stood within the valley where the Primordial Thunder Heaven had been shattered open.

Now the entire valley has become utter ruins, even the cracks spreading outward; within a radius of a hundred li, it is a dead, shattered wasteland.

The terrifying aftermath of the Heaven's Will Cleaver swept through, making it impossible for any living thing to survive.

Only Li Che stood there, tearing open the heavenly dome, his body like a raging flood-beast, devouring the world origin of the Primordial Thunder Heaven!

Heaven-Opening means mastering the world origin of a heaven and earth, becoming the lord of a great heaven and earth, or rather, replacing the original heaven and earth's will.

And the foundation of that replacement comes from the world origin itself!

Boom—

Li Che felt his life force rising steadily, his power becoming incomparably strong and robust.

Behind him, the Martial Dao River split in two, evolving into heaven and earth.

At first they were rootless duckweed, like two masses of clear qi, ready to collide and remerge at any moment.

But as Li Che completed the opening of the Primordial Thunder Heaven, causing the world origin to flood in, that rootless-duckweed-like heaven and earth became completely stabilized, no longer prone to scattering.

This also means that Li Che's Martial Dao has officially stepped into the final realm of the Profound Immortal, the Heaven-Opening Realm!

"This feeling... is wonderful!"

"The feeling of power!"

Li Che opened his eyes, brilliant light like two divine spears piercing the void, tearing apart the endless mist, like two bolts of lightning streaking across!

He stood in the deep pit of the ruins, his body intertwined with thunderous essence and the Primordial Thunder Heaven's world origin; every inch of his skin gulped it down, undergoing an astonishing transformation, the power of the origin etched deep into his flesh.

He felt a sense of ease, truly an unprecedented new feeling; his whole being became extraordinarily light and transcendent!

His physical body, Martial Immortal Will, and the entire heaven and earth seemed to merge together; his perception became extraordinarily keen, as if the whole Primordial Thunder Heaven lay under his control.

The Martial Immortal Will surged like waves, then his perception wildly swept out, the entire Primordial Thunder Heaven appearing like a chessboard of heaven and earth, every corner manifesting within his Martial Immortal Will.

Even the spray from a tiny stream, even a leaf withering in the mountains, even a mountain snake emerging to forage...

All these scenes appear in his perception.

This is the feeling of control; Li Che feels intoxicated and dazed—this is proving the Dao and attaining immortality, the unique sensation of becoming lord of heaven and earth.

It belongs to a true leap in the hierarchy of life.

Only immortality belongs to the true realm of deities.

The former Sword Dao, Nirvana, and other deities, compared to this, are basically the gap between mortals and gods—vast, not just in strength but also in the authority over heavenly and earthly power.

Li Che's physical body is flawless, without impurity, like glazed porcelain, with a flow of life-and-death aura, and terrifying thunder constantly rumbling.

Two eight-transformation Dao fruits merged into his body, granting him incomparable power.

Li Che rose, stretched his limbs, instantly thundered and vibrated; then he tried to strike, taking a step, his whole body becoming like a bolt of lightning, his speed reaching the extreme, nearly matching the speed of light.

"A Heaven-Opening Martial Immortal can indeed rival an Earth Immortal, whether in combat power or power control, but the Heaven-Opening Martial Immortal is even stronger in the physical body!"

"An Earth Immortal fuses one's divine will with the world origin, while a Martial Immortal... directly devours the world origin into the body; both are different ways of mastering the world origin."

Li Che slowly exhaled, feeling his physical body renewed with fresh vitality; compared to it, his current flesh seemed like a rusty sword covered in iron rust.

Now he can absolutely contend with any Earth Immortal.

Li Che's physical body continues to devour the world origin of the Primordial Thunder Heaven after his successful Heaven-Opening; as these origins flow into his body, his flesh grows ever stronger.

"But against a Heaven Immortal... it's still not enough."

Li Che shook his head.

Insiders understand their own affairs; against a Heaven Immortal, with his current state, he's still not up to par.

Because he has experienced Qitian's origin, which is vastly stronger than the origin power he currently holds.

After all, he has only just succeeded in Heaven-Opening, and the world origin he has absorbed and refined is still insufficient.

"Moreover... the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths contain nine great heavenly domains and ten great regions—all places capable of drawing world origin to augment oneself!"

Li Che's eyes flickered.

Ambition welled up in his heart; the Primordial Thunder Heaven is merely one of the nine heavenly domains of the Nine Heavens—what about the others?

He shook his head, Li Che not wanting to think too much about it.

Now he has only just begun to absorb the Primordial Thunder Heaven's world origin; he is far from consuming it all, and may not even be able to finish it.

After all, the world origin of a Primordial Thunder Heaven could simultaneously supply several Earth Immortals.

For instance, after absorbing the Primordial Thunder Heaven's world origin, Li Che felt that two Earth Immortals from the Strange Demon Lair were also refining that origin, their wills wildly surging over, probing madly.

The Martial Immortal's Heaven-Opening momentum ultimately cannot be suppressed; especially after the Heaven's Will Cleaver surfaced, it's basically impossible to achieve a breakthrough silently.

Li Che's lips slowly curled into an arc.

Unfortunately, he can't freely devour in the Primordial Thunder Heaven; the situation is urgent, he must take Xixi to Hell Lotus Land, so although his breakthrough succeeded, he can't waste too much time here.

Boom——!!

Li Che stood in the ruins, his gaze sweeping over, and he saw Qitian bearing the Wish-Golden Hooped Staff, and the Third Prince treading the Hell Lotus Wind-Fire Golden Light Wheel.

When the two were attacking the opening of heaven to strike the extreme of Mystic Immortal, they did not make a move, they also could not make a move; once locked onto by the Heaven's Will Saber, it would be difficult to sort out.

Heh heh—you brat, you've embarked on the path of a Martial Immortal proving the Dao? In this era, actually ignoring the erosion of divinity, to walk out such a path, it's truly not easy.

This path……nowadays probably only you walk it alone.

Being able to withstand the temptation of divine power, you brat really have some skill.

Qi Tian started praising; not everyone can withstand after merging with divinity, obtaining the extremely smooth and rapid cultivation speed.

That is a kind of power that even heavenly immortals cannot resist!

However, breaking through on someone else's turf will inevitably attract attention and trouble; do you want us to join in and act together?

Qi Tian asked.

However, Li Che shook his head.

Boom——!!!

Countless lightning bolts seemed to be torn apart by a terrifying power.

The earth immortals guarding Yuanlei Heaven's Mysterious Demon Cave instantly appeared; they were two earth immortals—the Eel Earth Immortal and the Tiger Earth Immortal—demonic qi surging, revealing their true forms.

In the storm woven from countless lightning bolts, the Eel and Tiger Immortals each manifested their forms.

Earlier, when Li Che resisted the Heaven's Will Saber, the two immortals were furious but dared not intervene; all immortals in the world feel a soul-deep fear of the Heaven's Will Saber, a power truly capable of slaying immortals.

Now that Li Che's resistance to the Heaven's Will Saber has ended, it is time for them to act.

Whoosh—

The raging wind burst forth, blowing away the dust and smoke atop the ruins.

The two immortals entwined with the lightning source, their demonic qi raging, had their gazes sweep over instantly, and they saw the figure revealed after the dust and smoke split apart.

A white jade mask, a black robe shimmering.

That figure caused the hearts of the two immortals of the Mysterious Demon Cave to violently shudder.

Earth Store King?!

Nowadays, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the name of the Earth Store King has long been like thunder to the ears.

The white jade mask Earth Store King, the ender of the Dao-proving divine weapons!

How could it be him?!

The Eel and Tiger Immortals were shocked to the point of despair.

Never did they expect that the one who proved the Dao in Yuanlei Heaven, the strong contender seizing its origin from them, would actually be the Earth Store King, an utterly unexpected existence!

Just in time……

Li Che's bones and muscles trembled, shaking uncontrollably; countless lightning bolts seemed to erupt wildly from his apertures.

The thunder-magnetic essence surged, forming an ocean of lightning.

With a single step, Li Che turned into a bolt of lightning, killing toward the two demon immortals at astonishing speed!

Courting death!

Seeing this, the Eel Immortal and Tiger Immortal instantly exploded with fury, releasing terrifying immortal pressure!

Boom!

The Eel Immortal seemed to transform into a true dragon!

In an instant, the terrifying surge burst forth violently, even the cloud streams above the firmament were torn apart!

In the Eel Immortal's hand appeared a long spear, azure in color, like glass, with lightning constantly intertwining upon it; this is an earth immortal weapon!

It is the immortal divine weapon that Lei Wan Bu Xiu has painstakingly refined his whole life!

Bang!

Lei Wan Bu Xiu lunged at Li Che, the ground instantly trembled, and countless dust and smoke exploded upward.

Next, a figure shot out like a cannonball, and was blasted away.

It was no one else—it was Lei Wan Bu Xiu himself!

Lei Wan Bu Xiu's face was extremely grim, the armor on his body shattered piece by piece, his scales scattered across heaven and earth, looking utterly miserable!

"You——!"

Lei Wan Bu Xiu's heart shook with shock—how could he be this strong?

But he clenched his fist around the thunder spear, then turned into a streak of light and shadow, charging at Li Che again—surely just now he was careless!

How could a mere newly ascended immortal who has just broken through to the immortal realm and hasn't yet accumulated enough heavenly and earthly origin possibly block his attack?! How could he possibly be sent flying?!

It must have been that he was simply too careless just now—truly embarrassing!

Boom!!!

The sight of Lei Wan Bu Xiu being blasted away made Lei Hu Bu Xiu's heart involuntarily stir.

His heart pounded incessantly, and he felt a vague sense of foreboding.

In the great battle over the Endless Sea, he and Lei Wan Bu Xiu dared not get involved.

Whether it's the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden or the Slaughter God Immortal, they are both top-tier earth immortals who have refined the origin of a realm to the utmost within the earth immortal level.

Compared to them, he is far stronger!

The Yuan Lei Heaven was already relatively close to the Endless Sea, and now the Earth Store King has suddenly broken through within Yuan Lei Heaven...

Could it be related to that great melee in the Endless Sea?

Although Lei Hu Bu Xiu is a demon, he possesses the calm and meticulousness of a tiger sniffing roses; he has already sensed the danger and did not have the impulse to join Lei Wan Bu Xiu in slaying the Earth Store King.

"This seat, Lei Lao Hu, is certainly not a fool like Lei Wan! Behind the Earth Store King stand Equal Heaven and the Third Prince! After the great battle in the Endless Sea ended, the Ancestral Dragon lineage was completely slaughtered by the Third Prince, the Immortal Dragon Emperor descended, using the dragon souls and blood of the Ancestral Dragon lineage to open the Netherworld Mouth that pierces through the netherworld, and then the Heaven-Piercing Divine Emperor descended, suppressing the Netherworld Mouth with sword intent!"

"Although it seems to have ended, Equal Heaven and the Third Prince's whereabouts are unknown; now that the Earth Store King is breaking through, Equal Heaven and the Third Prince must certainly be guarding his breakthrough!"

Lei Hu Bu Xiu's face was extremely grim, unwilling to linger any longer, he began to transform into a bolt of lightning, like a thunderous tiger, racing swiftly across the firmament.

This seat must inform the Witch Emperor!

The Immortal Demon Emperor has been suppressed; Empress Wa is suppressing the netherworld rift, so only the Witch Emperor can handle this!

However, after the Thunder Tiger darted out to a great distance, his expression suddenly changed.

A terrifying staff swept out suddenly, terrifying power exploded, Boom— smashing the unprepared him until his body burst with lightning, rolling incessantly in the firmament.

"Qi Tian!"

As expected.

A figure strode out, none other than Qi Tian gazing at the Wish-Golden Hoop Staff, his body covered in mechanism divine seals all shining brightly at once.

Qi Tian was in high spirits; Li Che had proved the Dao and become a Heaven-Opening Martial Immortal, and finally he proved the Dao by using the Heaven-Earth Seven Symbols Blade to cleave the Primordial Thunder Heaven.

And the strength of the Equal-to-Heaven Armor is closely tied to the Heaven-Earth Nine Symbols; that is to say, if the seventh Heaven-Earth Ancient Symbol condensed by Li Che were to merge with the Equal-to-Heaven Armor, his combat power would increase once again!

Hummm—

The Third Prince's whole body was shrouded in black Hell Lotus Fire as he directly unleashed his Dharma Form—eight arms, three heads—Hell Lotus Blazing Heaven!

Taking advantage of the Hell Lotus Curse's power, which had not yet fully waned,

The Third Prince's face was full of ferocity; as soon as he moved, he employed the most vicious means!

He is the son of the Hell Lotus, the Hell Lotus son who slaughtered the gods—how could he be soft-hearted and merciful?

Qi Tian and the Third Prince launched a surprise attack.

Even the Thunder Tiger can't hold up!

The Immortal Thunder Tiger was directly struck, vomiting blood on the spot, wailing incessantly, like a cannonball slamming into the Thunder Pool.

He hesitated not, shooting up into the sky, pushing his immortal origin to the extreme, lowering his head just wanting to flee; the combat power of two Heavenly Immortals is not something he can currently match.

However, having lost the initiative, the Immortal Thunder Tiger immediately felt that even escaping had become difficult and arduous.

Boom——!!

Below, the Immortal Thunder Eel was again blasted outward, his qi and blood surging, his demonic aura nearly dissipating, the shock in his heart indescribable!

Is this the existence of one who has just proved the Dao and become immortal?

How can he be so powerful?

Like a primeval savage beast, his fleshly body is terrifying to the extreme; as a demon immortal, he has suffered greatly in the fleshly aspect—one collision shook his arms almost to numbness.

Li Che's muscles and bones stretched throughout his body as he directly clashed flesh to flesh with the Immortal Thunder Eel, showing no sign of disadvantage, which made him exceedingly exhilarated!

Before, even when clashing with an Earth Immortal, he had to exert his utmost, igniting the esoteric martial arts to have any chance.

Now, however, it's no longer needed; his flesh alone can contend with an Earth Immortal!

Li Che glanced at the distant Immortal Thunder Tiger being beaten down; Qi Tian and the Third Prince struck—though the Immortal Thunder Tiger is an Earth Immortal, wanting to break free is no longer so easy.

Below, the Immortal Thunder Eel also felt his heart sink.

Naturally, he saw the Thunder Tiger far off being suppressed and beaten by Qi Tian and the Third Prince.

The Immortal Thunder Eel let out a fierce roar, countless thunderbolts exploding, every inch of his body bursting forth with splendid lightning, as if he carried his own Thunder Pool.

Destructive power kept rumbling, surging tumultuously, fiercely slapping toward Li Che.

However, Li Che clenched his five fingers into a fist, directly unleashing the martial art Dragon-Elephant Crucible, and thus forcibly suppressed that Thunder Eel's Thunder Pool.

Pfft—

The Immortal Thunder Eel vomited blood and flew sideways; he was shocked to the core, for his all-out divine secret technique had actually been completely suppressed.

Li Che seemed to have become the very source of thunder's birth, possessing a terrifying might that makes thunder itself tremble in awe!

Li Che's eyes flickered; in his chest, the breakthrough to Eight Transformations Thunder Magnetic Orbital Body Dao Fruit almost instinctively suppressed this Thunder Eel.

A thought stirred, and the Myriad Demon Emperor Dao Fruit immediately trembled!

Intending to give the Immortal Thunder Eel double the suppression!

As expected, the Myriad Demon Emperor Dao Fruit produced a suppression on the demonic aura of the Immortal Thunder Eel.

Together with the suppression of the Thunder Magnetic Orbital Body, this Immortal Thunder Eel, for a moment, was as if mired in a mud bog, even wanting to move a muscle becoming extremely difficult.

"You!"

This Immortal Thunder Eel was shaking with rage!

Both startled and angry, even somewhat panicked!

He looked toward the distance; the Immortal Thunder Tiger was also beaten until his body was drenched in blood, his state utterly miserable.

Wanting to break out and leave, yet it was no longer so easy.

On the Thunder Tiger's side, two Heavenly Immortal-level powers suppressed him, while on his side, the mysterious and strange Earth Store King could actually give him dual-layered suppression.

"Break!"

Now, there is only one way out!

Neither the Thunder Tiger nor the Immortal Thunder Eel wishes to die here!

Being Earth Immortal powerhouses, and moreover in their own heavenly domain territory, it is naturally not so easy for them to fall.

The two immortals let out long cries, and suddenly terrifying Heaven-Earth origin burst forth from their bodies!

That is the terrifying origin of the Primordial Thunder Heaven; their bodies seemed about to explode, countless origin thunder rays shooting out, and then in the eyes of Li Che, Qi Tian, and the Third Prince, they transformed into two terrifying wills merging into the Primordial Thunder Heaven's origin.

As if they had become incarnations of the Heaven-Earth Will itself!

"This is the advantage of immortals fighting on their home turf."

"This Primordial Thunder Heaven is the home turf of these two Earth Immortals; wanting to kill them is certainly no easy task."

"It easily provokes a backlash from the Heaven-Earth Will."

Qi Tian hoisted the Wish-Golden Hoop Staff, scratching his ear and cheek as he spoke.

The Third Prince, however, saw his battle spirit soar; he cared nothing for any Heaven-Earth Will backlash, treading on black Hell Lotus Fire, intending to charge into the Heaven-Earth origin and behead that Thunder Tiger.

However, Qi Tian hurriedly reached out, pulling and dragging the Third Prince back.

If one were to fall into the Heaven-Earth Origin, being delayed by the Heaven-Earth Will, trying to escape would no longer be easy.

Once delayed and entangled, the immortals of the Strange Demon Lair, Black Sumeru, and Dark Heavenly Court will likely hear the scent and rush over.

With such a chance to slay the Third Prince who is the incarnation of the Son of Hell Lotus, how could they let it pass?

"Hahaha! Earth Store King! Equal to Heaven! You still want to kill us on our home turf? That's pure daydreaming!"

The Thunder Eel Immortal burst into loud laughter.

"By delaying you, the Witch Emperor will bring the immortals of the Strange Demon Lair rushing over; then you'll all die!"

"The Hell Lotus lineage must be wiped out; the Divine Tide will finally end!"

The Thunder Eel laughed wildly, as if to vent at this moment the frustration and fury suppressed by the Earth Store King.

Li Che wore a White Jade Mask, his jet-black, vigorous hair dancing wildly.

Watching the Thunder Eel Immortal merge into the Heaven-Earth Origin, becoming the Heaven-Earth Will and laughing nonstop, a hint of cruelty flickered in Li Che's eyes.

If he becomes the Heaven-Earth Will, what can Li Che do?

Having just finished Opening Heaven, Li Che's fighting spirit rose.

Even if you become the Heaven-Earth Will, so what?

He succeeded in Opening Heaven, and what he cut was... Heaven itself!

Hum—

Clenching his five fingers, the Three-Pronged Two-Edged Sword was instantly seized in one hand, swept outward, endless blade light flowing like a waterfall, hanging inverted and shooting upward.

Li Che's body erupted with thunderous lightning, the Origin surging like a tide.

He stepped down and rose to ascend the heavens.

With a single step, a Heaven-Earth Ancient Glyph instantly condensed over his whole body.

Seven consecutive steps, soaring straight up!

Seven Heaven-Earth Ancient Glyphs, like flowing light interwoven around his body.

Merged into the Three-Pronged Two-Edged Sword, with a tremor of the blade, a single stroke surged upstream!

He slashed straight at the Thunder Eel Immortal who had merged into the Heaven-Earth Origin and become the Heaven-Earth Will!

Thousand Mountains Lone Walk Void-Slashing Blade, one stroke transforms into immortal martial!

Puff—!!!!

Terrifying blade light, wrapped with unmatched annihilating power.

It slashed straight through the heavenly dome!

That heavenly dome, which had originally been closed, was actually split open again at this moment!

The Thunder Eel Immortal and Thunder Tiger Immortal, who had embodied the Heaven-Earth Will, were instantly filled with shock and fury!

The Origin manifestation of the Thunder Eel Immortal sought to block this terrifying heaven-shaking strike.

However, it could not be blocked at all.

As the heavenly dome was torn apart, the Thunder Eel Immortal was also cut down by a single blow!
