The three‑pronged double‑edged blade was grasped; a heroic man, accompanied by surging blade qi and a rain of peach blossoms, tore through the void and arrived.

It seemed to have crossed over from the mortal world, transcending the bonds of time and space, ignoring the limits of heaven and earth's will, appearing directly on this battlefield with a world‑shaking aura that trembled like a tidal wave.

Marvelous Dao Manifests, the Holy Three‑Eyed Sovereign!

Translation: "Marvelous Dao Manifest Holy Three-Eyed True Lord!"

The jianghu call him the Narrow‑Victory Sovereign; versus any opponent it's an even match, and he can always engage in battle.

Translation: "Jianghu people call him, the Narrow-Victory True Lord, against anyone it's a fifty-fifty chance, able to fight a battle."

Jianghu people call him

Such a warrior is truly the most terrifying; among the Prison Lotus Three Gods, he is even more fearsome than Qitian or the Third Prince, since he cannot be seen through.

Translation: "Such a strong one is actually the most terrifying; among the Hell Lotus Three Gods, compared to Equal Heaven and the Third Prince, he is even more terrifying, because he cannot be seen through."

Taiyi Bujiu never imagined that the Marvelous Dao Manifests Holy Sovereign, who had never appeared before, would appear now—indeed, he personally came to save Dizang Wang.

Translation: "Supreme One Immortal did not expect; this lord who had never shown up, the Marvelous Dao Manifest Holy True Lord, would actually appear at this moment, even personally appearing to save the Earth Store King."

who had never shown up

Judging by this stance, he has risen from the mortal world, shattering heaven and earth's rules and striking out forcefully.

Translation: "Looking at this posture, it is indeed coming up from the mortal world, breaking the rules of heaven and earth, making a forceful move."

Such actions will demand a price; the Three‑Eyed Sovereign remains the vessel of a temple deity, and this amounts to completely destroying that eerie temple in the mortal world.

Translation: "Such conduct will incur a cost; the Three-Eyed True Lord now still possesses the body of a temple deity; such conduct equals completely destroying that Guiyi Miao in the mortal world."

body of a temple deity

He has lost the qualification and possibility to set up a temple in the human world, effectively cutting off the path of reincarnation.

Translation: "There is no longer the qualification or possibility to establish a temple in the mortal world; this equals cutting off the path of reincarnation."

"Taiyi Bujiu… you're still acting sneaky and furtive."

Translation: "\"Supreme One Immortal... you are still so sneaky. \""

The tall man smiled, a vertical pupil at his brow slowly opened, radiating brilliant light; countless peach‑blossom rains drifted down as he stepped forward, fully emerging from the rift.

Translation: "The tall man smiled, a vertical pupil in his brow slowly opened, bursting forth brilliant light; countless peach blossom rains scattered, he stepped out, completely walking out from the rift."

Taiyi Bujiu's vortex‑like single eye narrowed; moments later it exploded like glass shards, fragmenting into countless glazed flying‑knife shards that a breeze lifted and carried far away.

Translation: "Supreme One Immortal's vortex-like single eye narrowed slightly; the next moment, like glass shards, it completely exploded, shattering into fragments, becoming countless glazed flying dagger shards, swept by the airflow, directly swirling up and drifting away to a distance."

vortex-like single eye

The rift in the Origin Sea spread across the heavens, with countless thunderbolts churning and roaring, like the wrath of heaven shaking the world.

Translation: "The rift in the Origin Sea expanded above the Heavenly Dome; countless thunder rolled and roared within, like heavenly wrath shaking."

Thunder roared like a flood dragon, raging wildly.

Translation: "Thunder roared like a flood dragon, rampaging."

As the Three‑Eyed Sovereign appeared, he checked Taiyi Bujiu, and Li Che felt an immediate sense of calm.

Translation: "With the appearance of the Three-Eyed True Lord, the Supreme One Immortal was blocked; Li Che's heart suddenly felt a sense of calm."

Under Li Che's white mask, his eyes gleamed, looking at the opponent with a touch of astonishment.

Translation: "Beneath Li Che's white mask, his eyes flickered, looking at the opponent with a hint of astonishment."

After giving him the three‑pronged double‑edged blade, the Three‑Eyed Sovereign has hardly acted—he never revived from the mortal world's strange temple, nor entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Translation: "This Three-Eyed True Lord, after giving him the Three-Pronged Double-Edged Blade, has had little action since, never recovering from the Guiyi Miao in the mortal world, never entering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

Yet no one expected him to appear today like this—like a timely rain—becoming a great help for Li Che, aiding in blocking an imperial‑rank heavenly immortal.

Translation: "Yet I never expected that today he would appear in this way, like timely rain, becoming a great aid to Li Che, helping to block an Imperial Rank Supreme One Immortal!"

His white robes billowed, exceedingly handsome and majestic, just like the temple‑god golden eagle seen earlier in the Mei Mountain strange temple.

Translation: "White robes flying, very handsome and tall, just like the Temple God Divine Eagle seen earlier in the Plum Mountain Guiyi Miao."

Li Che once thought the Three‑Eyed Sovereign could be the boss.

Translation: "Former Li Che thought the Three-Eyed True Lord might be the boss."

After all, a white robe paired with a black dog is practically the Three‑Eyed Sovereign's standard attire.

Translation: "After all, white clothing with a black dog is practically the Three-Eyed True Lord's standard equipment."

But now he realizes the Three‑Eyed Sovereign isn't the boss—so who is?

Translation: "But now he understands, the Three-Eyed True Lord is not the boss; then... who is the boss?"

Li Che also stopped speculating; he didn't want to guess anymore, as the situation left no room for such thoughts. The boss is mysterious but means no harm to Xixi, stands with them, so Li Che pays no attention.

Translation: "Li Che also stopped guessing, not wanting to guess; the current situation does not allow wasting thought on these, the boss is very mysterious, but harbors no murderous intent toward Xixi, stands on their side, so Li Che pays no heed."

"Senior."

Translation: "\"Senior. \""

Li Che drew a deep breath.

Translation: "Li Che took a deep breath."

"Go ahead, do what you want to do."

Translation: "\"Go, do what you want to do. \""

"This Taiyi Bujiu… I should… be able to narrowly win a bout."

Translation: "\"This Supreme One Immortal, I should... be able to narrowly win a chance. \""

The Three‑Eyed Sovereign turned his head, lips curving in a faint smile.

Translation: "The Three-Eyed True Lord turned his head, the corners of his mouth rose, a faint smile."

In the next instant, the three‑pronged double‑edged blade rang, and a terrifying blade intent surged like a howling hurricane, tearing everything apart.

Translation: "The next moment, the Three-Pronged Double-Edged Blade rang clashing, terrifying blade intent instantly surged wildly, like a hurricane howling, as if tearing everything apart!"

A brilliant light burst from the Three‑Eyed Sovereign's third eye, taking in the whole scene at a glance.

Translation: "In the Three-Eyed True Lord's third eye, brilliant light burst forth, taking in the whole situation at a glance."

Qitian was fighting the Three‑Worlds Tathagata, the Third Prince burned and shattered the Prison Lotus rhizome, and was clashing with Emperor Hong, the human sovereign.

Translation: "Equal Heaven clashed with the Three Ages Tathagata, the Third Prince burned and shattered the Hell Lotus Rhizome, while contending with the Human Emperor Hong."

His divine eye clearly saw Qitian and the Third Prince's resolve—a fearless self‑sacrifice, pushing themselves to the limit.

Translation: "His divine eye clearly saw Equal Heaven and the Third Prince's resolve, a kind of having no time to die, pressing oneself to the extreme."

He slowly exhaled.

Translation: "He slowly exhaled a breath."

"How many years have passed since we last fought side by side? Let us, the three of us, once again turn the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths upside down!"

Translation: "\"How many years have we not fought side by side like this? Let us three again stir up the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, turning them upside down! \""

His heroic words rang out; the next moment he stepped forward, his foot striking the ground, shaking the entire cliff‑side mountain, while the Three‑Eyed Sovereign's aura rose steadily, ever increasing.

Translation: "Heroic words spewed from his mouth; the next moment, he stepped out, his foot landing on the ground, the entire Sheer Cliff Mountain trembled, the Three-Eyed True Lord's aura rose steadily, continuously increasing!"

In the next instant, his white robes were suddenly covered by a full set of silver armor; his white cape fluttered, the silver armor gleamed, and the diagonally gripped double‑blades rang, chaotic blade qi raging and cutting wildly.

Translation: "The next moment, his white clothes were suddenly covered by a suit of silver armor, the white cloak fluttered, the silver armor shone brightly, the obliquely held double-edged blade clanged, turbulent blade qi raged, cutting wildly!"

"Taiyi Bujiu, let me meet you—see if after all these long years you old thing have made any progress!"

Translation: "\"Supreme One Immortal, let me meet you, see after such a long time, you old thing, can you still improve! \""

The Three‑Eyed Sovereign's aura shifted suddenly, like a tranquil old monk rising from meditation, his breath continually climbing, as if a beacon of wolf‑smoke shooting up to the heavens.

Translation: "The Three-Eyed True Lord's aura suddenly changed, like a calm, seated old monk who abruptly rose, his breath continually rising, as if a beacon rushing to the heavens, pouring into the Nine Heavens!"

Within the countless glazed flying‑knife fragments, Taiyi Bujiu's gaze was cold and ruthless.

Translation: "Within countless glazed flying dagger fragments, Supreme One Immortal's gaze was cold."

In the next instant, the countless glazed flying‑knife fragments swirled; he stepped forward, and they stacked and combined to form his body.

Translation: "The next moment, countless glazed flying daggers swirled; he took a step, glazed pieces stacked, combining into his body."

"Prison Lotus Three‑Eyed, don't be too arrogant!"

Translation: "\"Hell Lotus Three-Eye, don't be too arrogant! \""

Taking another step, he transformed into a terrifying glazed flying‑knife, emitting an ear‑splitting shriek that sounded like the tearing of countless currents, void, and even time itself.

Translation: "Another step forward, he transformed into a terrifying glazed flying dagger, emitting an extremely terrifying howl, that was the terrifying sound of tearing apart countless airflows, void, and even time!"

Taiyi Bujiu rolled out waves of demonic energy, arms outstretched; on the cliff‑side mountain he leapt, leaving countless afterimages, each piercing space‑time as if, crossing the distance to appear before the Three‑Eyed Sovereign.

Translation: "Supreme One Immortal had surging demonic energy bursting forth, arms spread, on the Sheer Cliff Mountain, a single leap left countless afterimages, each afterimage seemingly piercing through spacetime, crossing distance, appearing before the Three-Eyed True Lord."

Clenching his five fingers, they became like five terrifying flying‑knives, showing five colors; as they turned, he slammed them down, and space instantly shattered.

Translation: "Five fingers clenched, as if transforming into five terrifying flying daggers, showing five colors, taking turns, he fiercely struck down, space instantly shattered!"

At this moment, Taiyi Bujiu is already a completely different state from when he faced Li Che.

Translation: "At this moment, Supreme One Immortal is already completely different from when dealing with Li Che."

Facing the Three‑Eyed Sovereign, Taiyi Bujiu dares not show the slightest contempt, for as one of the Prison Lotus Three Gods, the Three‑Eyed Sovereign is famed as the Narrow‑Victory Sovereign, a top‑tier expert of the Prison Lotus.

Translation: "Facing the Three-Eyed True Lord, Supreme One Immortal dares not show the slightest contempt, because as one of the Hell Lotus Three Gods, the Three-Eyed True Lord, as the famed Narrow-Victory True Lord, is a top powerhouse of the Hell Lotus."

He is not an easy opponent to deal with; the Narrow‑Victory Sovereign is far too mysterious.

Translation: "He is not an easy opponent to deal with; the Narrow-Victory True Lord is too mysterious."

If, when dealing with Li Che earlier, Taiyi Bujiu still had a playful, teasing demeanor, now he has cast aside that lax attitude, exerted his full strength, and become a true supreme ruler who looks down upon all under heaven.

Translation: "If before, when dealing with Li Che, Supreme One Immortal still had a playful, teasing demeanor, now he has cast off these lazy attitudes, exerted his full strength, becoming a true peerless emperor who looks down upon all under heaven!"

The terrifying five‑colored flying‑knives, like five dreadful divine dragons, slammed down; the void, re‑condensed by heaven and earth's will, instantly let out a mournful wail, and five furious gusts scattered in all directions.

Translation: "Terrifying five-colored flying daggers, like five terrifying divine dragons, struck down; the void, recondensed by heaven and earth's will, immediately let out a mournful cry, five frantic airflows scattering in all directions."

The Three‑Eyed Sovereign's gaze swept over; his double blades whirled, releasing countless blades of light, one inverted, like a waterfall flowing upward.

Translation: "The Three-Eyed True Lord's gaze swept, the double-edged blade rapidly turned, countless blade lights burst forth, one inverted, countless blade lights like a waterfall flowing upward!"

And they collided violently with the five‑colored flying‑knives!

Translation: "And it collided violently with the five-colored flying dagger!"

Boom——!

Translation: "Boom——!"

In an instant, the area where they stood became a blanket of countless origin blade qi; the ground sank, and the cliff‑side mountain nearly collapsed under the strain.

Translation: "Instantly, the area where they were became covered with countless origin sword qi; the ground sank, the Sheer Cliff Mountain nearly unable to bear the weight, about to collapse."

If this cliff‑side mountain were not a manifestation of heaven and earth's will, a most resilient spot in the heavenly domain, it would have long since given way, shattered, and been utterly blown apart.

Translation: "If not for this Sheer Cliff Mountain being a manifestation of heaven and earth's will, a most resilient place in the Heavenly Realm, it would have long collapsed, shattered, been completely blown apart!"

The raging blade‑qi torrent, as Taiyi Bujiu's five‑colored palm clenched tight, seemed to want to seize the Three‑Eyed Sovereign at the storm's core and crush him into rebirth.

Translation: "The raging blade qi torrent, as Supreme One Immortal's five-colored palm clenched tightly, seemed to want to seize and crush the Three-Eyed True Lord at the storm's core, forcing rebirth!"

"Prison Lotus Three‑Eyed!"

Translation: "\"Hell Lotus Three-Eye! \""

Taiyi Bujiu's low, deep voice at this moment seemed to become somewhat distorted, turning exceedingly ethereal.

Translation: "Supreme One Immortal's low voice, at this moment, seemed somewhat distorted, becoming quite ethereal."

A resonant clang rang out!

Translation: "A clashing sound!"

The blade's dazzling light, to the extreme, is utterly pure—only pure white!

The three-pronged double-edged blade in the Three-Eyed True Lord's hand kept turning, then suddenly thrust upward, spinning like a windmill, actually pushing the five-colored sword qi that the Taiyi Immortal had pressed down back up into the high sky.

Not bad! Not bad!

As expected of the Prison Lotus' perilous-victory True Lord, quite interesting!

Amidst the mighty sword qi, the Taiyi Immortal was actually pushed up into the high sky by the Three-Eyed True Lord; the heaven-and-earth will pressed down, forcing the Three-Eyed True Lord to expend even greater strength.

The Taiyi Immortal's bamboo hat and black robe fluttered as he laughed heroically; the next moment he shattered, exploding into a rain of five-colored glazed shards.

And each glazed fragment actually contained the Taiyi Immortal's form.

All were laughing with heads raised; the whole sky seemed filled with the Taiyi Immortal's traces.

One laugh transformed into the laughter of a thousand, then ten thousand, then a hundred thousand!

Myriad manifestations of the Taiyi Immortal seemed to emerge from the glazed shards, sword light bursting forth, countless slashes cutting out!

Dense and thick, they submerged everything!

In an instant they completely covered the Three-Eyed True Lord, like forming a sword-qi cage with nowhere to hide.

However, the Taiyi Immortal's form soon appeared a hundred li away.

He stood with hands behind his back, black robe fluttering, that vortex eye constantly rotating.

Boom——!!!

Yet a domineering force surged, visible airwaves trembling, tearing apart countless sword qi, like countless mad dogs howling the heavens, rampaging in all directions.

This is...

A dog?!

Wwwottkдno￠o

The Taiyi Immortal lowered his head and saw that, at some unknown time, a black dog had clamped onto his leg and would not let go.

And the sword-qi cage shattered instantly.

The Three-Eyed True Lord's silver armor clanged as he obliquely gripped the three-pronged double-edged blade; his silver divine boots engraved with ancient patterns, his towering, straight posture slowly stepping forward.

Like a deity walked out of myth, peerless and unmatched!

……

……

Li Che did not watch much of the battle between the Three-Eyed True Lord and the Taiyi Immortal.

He merely glanced, then, bearing the terrifying heaven-and-earth pressure, charged into the Origin Sea.

Although the rule power from heaven and earth's will had sealed the void, making flight extremely difficult, this was after all Yuanlei Heaven; its Origin Sea, for Li Che, who attained the Dao through Yuanlei Heaven's origin, would not reject him at all.

Li Che entered the Origin Sea; its entrance was not sealed.

Li Che sat cross-legged on the surface of the Thunder Sea; each drop of water seemed condensed from thunder origin, exploding into countless numbing electric arcs, flashing light, extraordinarily splendid.

Whoosh—

He slowly exhaled; in Li Che's chest, the Thunder Magnetic Orb Dao Fruit trembled.

His gaze became extremely sharp, icy killing intent surging in his eyes.

These divine spirits of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths all sought to stop Xixi from entering the Prison Lotus Realm, fearing she had obtained the inheritance of past Prison Lotus maidens that would suppress the curse; thus they would not act according to the plan they had fomented.

This would make the course of the Eighth Generation God Tide even harder to fathom...

But Li Che needed the inheritance of the Prison Lotus maidens within the Prison Lotus Realm to help Xixi suppress the Prison Lotus curse; otherwise his daughter might die in this life, falling before his very eyes.

As parents, how could we bear to see such a sight?

You want my daughter to die...

Then I will slaughter you all!

The God Tide needs a Prison Lotus maiden to end, but slaughter... does not necessarily require a Prison Lotus maiden!

Li Che's killing intent surged greatly.

He flicked a finger.

Three terrifying corpses instantly appeared; upon the corpse of the Slaughter God Immortal, the dreadful Slaughter God sword intent still drifted and swept, even the thunder power of the Origin Sea being cut apart, slightly suppressed.

As for the corpses of the Thunder Eel and Thunder Tiger Immortals, they caused little disturbance, even showing signs of merging into the Origin Sea.

The Myriad Monster Emperor Dao Fruit roared forth, and Li Che sacrificed it.

Cry——

The terrifying shriek exploded, as if a pair of infinitely long, narrow wings unfurled behind his back.

Then it began to frenziedly draw in the demonic qi from the Thunder Eel and Thunder Tiger Immortals.

These are two immortal demon beasts; their demonic qi is immense, absolutely enough for the Myriad Monster Emperor Dao Fruit to continue its transformation!

Li Che originally intended to refine it slowly, but the current situation at Juebian Mountain leaves him no time to dawdle.

Now Qitian, the Third Prince, and the Three-Eyed True Lord—these three have bought him precious time, which Li Che is unwilling to waste.

Time, naturally, is to be seized every second.

And while the Myriad Monster Emperor Dao Fruit devoured the demonic qi of the immortal demon corpses,

Li Che's eyes opened and closed, deep and unfathomable, as if an endless abyss had split open in his pupils, rolling deathly qi surging.

He spread his five fingers, seizing the spirit!

Rumble——

Above the Origin Sea, the heavens suddenly underwent an earth-shaking change; a black vortex appeared.

It was a vortex formed by the rolling River of Death Qi.

The power of the death origin continuously seeped out, clashing with the thunder origin of Yuanlei Heaven like a world-shaking collision.

Within the vortex formed by the death origin, chains slowly hung down, then the Slaughter God Immortal's seized spirit appeared.

Not only that, but also the Thunder Eel and Thunder Tiger Immortals, two demon beasts.

Li Che raised his head aloft; the terrifying will of heaven and earth pressed down, and in an instant surged out, rolling away from the death‑origin vortex.

Primordial Thunder Heaven's origin sea cannot be calmed at all; its terrifying waters raised waves ten thousand zhang high!

This is an anomaly where two origins meet within a celestial‑realm origin sea!

Countless thunder origins seem to hang the heavens upside down, scattering and crushing the death‑origin vortex!

When the three immortal Binding Gods emerged from the death vortex.

The terrifying chains kept falling down, lashing the thunder origin sea!

And Li Che felt a sudden thump in his heart.

A feeling of being watched came again.

Then, from the death‑origin vortex, a blue‑green palm surfaced, swiftly reaching to grasp the three immortal Binding Gods!

"How dare you!"

A deafening voice rang out from the death‑origin vortex!

Nether Sovereign!

The Nether Sovereign, one of the three great Nether Sovereigns, a terrifying presence, manifested only as a palm.

The once‑boiling thunder origin sea instantly calmed.

Li Che couldn't help but mutter that this origin sea—or rather the will of Primordial Thunder Heaven—seems to treat people like a dish to be served.

The death‑origin vortex appears alone, and you become unbearably arrogant; the Nether Sovereign strikes, then pretends to be calm.

That's a bit too realistic!

However, Li Che had long anticipated it; the Nether Sovereign indeed lay in wait for him within the Nether.

But there is also a time lag involved!

Every second counts!

Li Che let out a long howl, his entire aura surged to its peak, elevating his condition to the utmost.

His five fingers clenched hard, pulling the chains of the three Binding Gods out of the death‑origin vortex.

Boom—

The Nether Sovereign's blue‑green palm snapped shut, evidently grasping the Immortal Godslayer, Immortal Thunder Eel, and Immortal Thunder Tiger Binding God chains.

However, the power it supplied was like a preset program, identical to the force Li Che unleashed the previous time he bound the gods.

Thus, this time the post‑Creation Li Che, having reached the pinnacle of the Profound Immortal, unleashed a force that somewhat exceeded the Nether Sovereign's expectations.

Whoosh—

The chains sank, snapping apart, turning into pure death‑qi that swirled within the origin sea.

And the three immortal Binding Gods were all successfully bound by Li Che!

Rumble—

Within the death vortex, the Nether Sovereign's will seemed to revive, sweeping forward violently, causing the vortex to tremble.

Perhaps because Li Che suddenly surged with so much power, the Nether Sovereign was somewhat surprised.

Also, Li Che once again snatched the three immortal souls from its hand!

The death vortex began to gradually disintegrate and heal.

Li Che's whole body bled, as the exhaustive burst of power left almost no reserve; his life‑death immortal body was forced into intertwining.

The flesh was torn by the erupting force, leaving gaping wounds.

Fortunately, as life‑death qi surged, the wounds began to heal rapidly.

The three immortal Binding Gods hovered in the thunder sea; as their revived wills surfaced, Li Che gave a casual glance, and the three immortals unhesitatingly chose to submit.

After circling the Nether death‑origin sea, even these immortals understood the preciousness of life.

Death is not pleasant; it's too terrifying!

"Lord!"

The three immortal Binding Gods clasped their fists.

Li Che snapped his finger; the Godslayer Sword instantly returned to the hand of the Immortal Godslayer.

He lifted his head, watching the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Dao Fruit continuously devour demonic qi, transforming itself.

Now the refinement speed is accelerating; perhaps due to Li Che's will, the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Dao Fruit no longer chews slowly but gulps ravenously.

The speed of refining demonic qi has increased greatly; though much qi was wasted, the maturity rose extremely fast.

The Immortal Sparrow Emperor, Immortal Thunder Eel, Immortal Thunder Tiger, the demonic qi of the three immortal beast clans surged into the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Dao Fruit.

Shriek—

As if an ancient peerless great demon revived from slumber.

The terrifying shriek sounded like a Kunpeng roaring.

Li Che's jet‑black hair whirled wildly, his eyes shining brilliantly.

【Dao Fruit: Ten Thousand Demons Emperor (lv10, 0%)】

In front of him, golden light streamed rapidly, condensing into a line of prompting words.

The vast heavens seemed to echo a summons, inviting Li Che to enter the Dao Tree space to harvest the abundant Eight‑Molts Dao Fruit!

The Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Dao Fruit, Eight Molts, transforms into… the Primordial Kunpeng!

Li Che's eyes flashed open, murderous intent swirling, his battle spirit surging.

Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, Thunder Magnetic Track Body Dao Fruit, and the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Dao Fruit…

Three Eight‑Molts Dao Fruits vibrated incessantly, their Dao Fruit origins surging forth.

Li Che rose, the three Dao Fruits returned to his body, settling after silence.

Beside him, the Immortal Godslayer, Immortal Thunder Eel, and Immortal Thunder Tiger glowed with fierce eyes.

In a single thought, Li Che unleashed a booming burst of powerful immortal primordial force, striking fiercely at the Source Sea of Primordial Thunder Heaven.

The void was torn asunder!

The firmament seemed to have a corner shattered.

Instantly, the Source Sea surged out from that broken corner of the sky, rushing down in a violent torrent, forcefully pouring out within the heavenly domain of Primordial Thunder Heaven!

Like a thunderous celestial pillar, it crashed onto Sheer Cliff Mountain.

Sheer Cliff Mountain trembled!

The immortals of the Three Great Divine Camps, who were stationed here to block the path of the Prison Lotus deity, fixed their gazes.

"This is the Source Sea of Primordial Thunder Heaven… how could it be broken?!"

Countless thunderous origins roared and ravaged, turning the entire Sheer Cliff Mountain into a realm of thunder and lightning!

Li Che spread his arms from within the Source Sea and leapt forward with a sudden bound.

A myriad of thunderous water splashes erupted, and he rode the thunderous water column, bursting out of the Source Sea!

Countless demonic qi raged and churned, his qi and blood trembling immensely.

The thunderous water column exploded in midair.

Then, an enormous ancient Kunpeng surged forth as if from myth.

Its massive wings beat, waves surged, and countless bolts of thunder struck Sheer Cliff Mountain, turning into propulsion that lifted the ancient Kunpeng soaring upward!

To…

Leap over Sheer Cliff Mountain!
