Chapter 624: The kun-peng rides the whirlwind three thousand li, leaping the sheer cliff as Sumeru's light stands firm

Countless thunderbolts condensed into seawater, torn open from the firmament above and poured down upon the human world.

The whole Cliff Mountain was submerged in the thunder-sea; each drop of seawater held immense primordial aura and energy, and as it exploded, countless lightning arcs leapt and detonated without cease.

The heavens tilt—this truly is a heavenly-tilt phenomenon!

Hummm—

One after another, primordial auras spread forth—these were the powerhouses standing atop Cliff Mountain's summit, seeking to block the three Gulian camps from stepping onto Gulian land.

Faced with the primordial sea of Yuanlei Heaven torn open, the many immortals had no choice but to use their own heaven-earth primordial as a canopy, raising the firmament to block the downpour-like tempest of a thunderstorm rain.

Pop pop pop!

The primordial sea water of Yuanlei Heaven poured backward onto Cliff Mountain, spreading like a sky-covering deluge; the azure rainwater brimmed with ferocity and surging vigor.

Striking the primordial canopies condensed by the many immortals, it burst forth with all kinds of sounds.

The hazy primordial aura of Yuanlei Heaven made each immortal feel extremely uncomfortable, after all, primordial and primordial also possess mutual repulsion.

The many immortals were not cultivating the Dao in Yuanlei Heaven; facing its primordial source, they naturally felt uncomfortable, but no matter how uncomfortable, they had to maintain their defenses.

After all, besides them, there were the great armies of divine spirits from the three godly camps, arrayed in formation atop Cliff Mountain's summit.

These divine spirits at the levels of Dao-integration, Dao-severing, and Nirvana had essentially no resistance to these heaven-earth primordials.

Although this vast and mighty primordial sea of Yuanlei Heaven was, for them, a supreme opportunity.

If they could attune, break through, or even pass through this supreme opportunity, they could glimpse the chance to strike at the Nirvana Heavenly King, and even to attain immortality!

Moreover…

Hummm—

The primordial sea of Yuanlei Heaven trembled without cease, chaotic and disordered, yet it presented a sense of emptiness.

"The lightning eel immortal and lightning tiger immortal of the Guiyao Cave have fallen; their immortal fruition positions are thus vacant. With those vacancies, a Nirvana Heavenly King who cultivates lightning primordial has a chance to ascend to immortality! To take over the two immortals' fruition positions!"

The sound of drawing in cold breath echoed from the various godly camps, instantly raising an uproar; countless divine spirits' eyes turned red, unable to restrain their emotions.

Within the demon army of the Guiyao Camp, many lightning-wielding demon Nirvanas were stirred, their breathing scorching.

They released their demonic aura throughout their bodies, as if seeking to capture the primordial intent within Yuanlei Heaven's primordial source.

Desiring to deepen their comprehension of the primordial, they tried to seize this rare opportunity of a fallen immortal, to replenish their fruition and occupy a new immortal position.

Many Great Daos actually have lost and bewildering futures, making it hard to tread further.

Because immortals occupy the upstream of the Great Dao's river, blocking the path into the primordial sea, other Nirvana Heavenly Kings can no longer prove the Dao, forever stuck in the Nirvana realm.

After all, the primordial sea is only so large; if one more immortal shares its primordial power, the others' strength will be correspondingly weakened.

"How could the barrier between the primordial sea and Yuanlei Heaven be torn apart?"

"Someone deliberately tore it open! It must be Ksitigarbha! Wanting to use the conflict between Yuanlei Heaven's primordial and ours as a breakthrough point?"

"The Three Ages Tathagata, Emperor Hong Human Sovereign, and Taiyi Immortal—three sovereign-level heavenly immortals—take action, plus we immortals holding the fort, and the divine spirit army like a Great Wall blocking…"

"Such a lineup can be called half the divine spirits of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths taking action!"

"For the Gulian Camp to break through is extremely difficult; this can be called a deadly situation!"

……

The immortals' mighty immortal will trembled; facing the erosion of the primordial sea, they were actually unconcerned, for each immortal is an exceedingly powerful elite.

The primordial water of the primordial sea had little effect on them.

"What is that?!"

Suddenly, an immortal's heart twitched slightly!

Looking up, they saw a pair of colossal wings unfurled, tearing open the seawater pouring down from the primordial sea above the firmament, igniting countless raging, intertwined thunderbolts that sped away toward the distant heavens.

It actually dared to brazenly span Cliff Mountain!

"How is this possible? To actually be able to fly over Cliff Mountain, a focal point sealed by heaven-earth will's rules?"

"Cliff Mountain forbids flight; even heavenly immortals cannot fly, and if they break the rule, they will be marked by heaven-earth will's aversion."

"How audacious this person is!"

Through countless thunder rains, the divine spirits saw the immense kun-peng, and their hearts surged with shock and awe.

"It is Ksitigarbha!"

An immortal spoke.

The next moment, an immortal from Cliff Mountain's summit boldly struck out!

Primordial surged heavenward, transforming into a peerless spear that pierced the void, fiercely thrusting toward the soaring kun-peng that was Li Che.

Countless thunder primordials were scattered aside, as if the firmament were torn apart!

Sizzle—

Countless thunderbolts gathered and twisted, intertwining into a towering figure; a sweep struck out, shattering the spear's phantom into countless light rain.

Countless sharp teeth bared, the lightning eel immortal revealed its form amidst the rain of countless thunder primordials, its whole body seeming to become thunder primordial itself.

The immortal who had struck out was instantly shocked— the lightning eel immortal… had it not fallen?

Heavenly phenomena have appeared; how could the lightning eel immortal appear vigorous and alive now, standing on the Gulian Camp's side?

This is not right!

The sky-filling rain of thunder primordials freed the lightning eel immortal from heaven-earth will's restrictions, allowing it to travel through the rain and thus soar in the high skies.

"You too, act—stop that great bird!"

That immortal bellowed, his face turning extremely grave.

In their eyes, Li Che's kun-peng form, they could not tell if it was Ksitigarbha, but it mattered not; at this juncture, anyone seeking to surmount Cliff Mountain must surely be a Gulian divine spirit.

Blocking them is absolutely the correct decision!

Anyone attempting to leap over Cliff Mountain must surely be a Gulian tactic!

The Gulian maiden is very likely hidden within that great bird!

Attack!

The immortals of the three major divine god camps all burst forth with immortal origin aura.

Hmph!

Hell Lotus!

Terrifying sword light shot up to the heavens in an instant; countless thunder origin, as fragile as paper, was instantly sliced apart.

That was Jueshen Immortal making a move; Xiangshen Immortal didn't just stand by—his sword light turned black, like a profound abyss, filled with sword intent that sought to drag people in and crush them to pieces!

The two immortals of the Dark Heavenly Court attacked together, their sword lights intertwining like two furious dragons!

The deaths of Zhushen Immortal and Lushen Immortal were a huge blow to them.

The four immortals could form the Gods‑Slaughter Sword Formation, a method capable of restraining even Heavenly Immortals!

However, now that two of the divine swords have fallen, only the two of them remain, reducing them to ordinary Earth Immortals, although they are still top-tier among Earth Immortals.

But they are no longer what they once were!

However, their two sword lights had not yet reached the Kunpeng's vicinity before being torn apart by terrifying sword intent, exploding into fragments!

Two extremely sharp divine swords shot up one after another, their ultimate sword hymn wailing across the Nine Heavens, countless thunderbolts surging forth!

Jueshen and Xiangshen Immortals' bodies shuddered violently, their eyes instantly filling with disbelief.

This is…

Gods‑Slaughter Sword and Gods‑Butcher Sword?!

Who is controlling these two swords…?!

Suddenly, following the origin of the sword intent, they rushed over and instantly saw the Gods‑Butcher Immortal and Gods‑Slaughter Immortal madly dashing along the mountain path of Juebishan!

Gods‑Slaughter, Gods‑Butcher!

The two immortals couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

But this joy didn't last long; they soon changed expression, realizing that the current Gods‑Slaughter Immortal and Gods‑Butcher Immortal were no longer the companions they once knew!

Clashing sword intent exploded in midair, like myriad splendid fireworks.

Gods‑Slaughter Immortal tread upon Juebishan; with each step, a resonant and domineering sword aura rose from his body as he gripped the Gods‑Slaughter Sword.

Now, with Li Che's help, he has fully mastered the Gods‑Slaughter Sword.

He has comprehended the origin sword intent left by the Heaven‑Reaching God Emperor.

Thus, his aura grew ever stronger; as he strode, countless afterimages lingered on Juebishan, dreamlike and illusory.

Although Gods‑Butcher Immortal has not fully mastered the Gods‑Butcher Sword, the Heaven‑Reaching God Emperor's sword intent within it has already been refined by Li Che, so Gods‑Butcher Immortal effectively wields it in another way.

Thus, their aura and sword intent are so mighty that Jueshen and Xiangshen Immortals cannot compare!

Against a Taiyi Immortal, Gods‑Slaughter Immortal is like a toy— the gap is enormous.

But now, Gods‑Slaughter Immortal can contend even with ordinary Heavenly Immortals!

Jueshen and Xiangshen Immortals also sensed something amiss, yet they gritted their teeth and dove down from Juebishan like two sword‑qi dragons, hoping to awaken Gods‑Slaughter and Gods‑Butcher Immortals!

You… since you're not dead, why have you joined the Hell Lotus camp?!

Do you intend to oppose all the divine spirits of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?!

Brotherly feelings can erupt so suddenly.

The four brothers collided under the gaze of myriad divine spirits; terrifying sword qi cut through heaven and earth, countless showers of thunder‑origin rain burst into sky‑filling arcs of lightning!

They're already dead! They are no longer the Dark Heavenly Court's Gods‑Slaughter and Gods‑Butcher; they are souls summoned back from the netherworld by Hell Lotus!

A shout rang out.

A graceful figure leapt forth from Juebishan; nine‑colored mystic light spread behind the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden like a peacock's fan, then swept down, sharper and more terrifying than any divine sword!

Gods‑Slaughter Immortal coldly glanced at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden; despite having suffered grave wounds on the Boundless Sea, she still dared to appear, seeking to block Hell Lotus.

It seems she truly hates Hell Lotus!

Gods‑Slaughter Immortal directly swept his sword sideways at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden; meanwhile, Gods‑Butcher Immortal blocked Jueshen and Xiangshen Immortals with a single strike— the terrifying immortal battle erupted thus on Juebishan.

Imperial‑level battles have their own tier, while Earth Immortals have their own level of contention!

Li Che transformed into a Kunpeng; the Myriad Monster Emperor Dao fruit throbbed, demonic qi surged, lifting his body as he soared upward!

His goal was simple and pure: to leap over Juebishan.

The heavenly and earthly laws of Juebishan were a great aid to him; he needed to make use of that aid.

Qitian overloaded his Qitian Armor to block the Three‑Lives Tathagata; after this battle, the armor may shatter, and Qitian's origin might be exhausted.

Meanwhile, the Third Prince did the same, crushing the Hell Lotus rhizome to gain torrential battle power.

As for the Three‑Eyed True Lord, he gave up his chance at temple‑god reincarnation, surged forward to block the deadly threat of a Taiyi Immortal for Li Che, creating an opportunity for him.

How could Li Che let down the expectations of the three deities?

We must send Xixi to Hell Lotus Land and let her inherit the legacy of past Hell Lotus maidens!

With a long whistle, Li Che's qi and blood surged; he transformed into a Kunpeng and rose again, nearly reaching the height of the Yuanlei Heaven's firmament!

On the summit of Juebishan stood an extremely fat, pockmarked middle‑aged man; he snorted coldly, hands behind his back, then stepped forward with his hands lowered.

Gua—

A muffled thud.

Like a thunderclap.

It kept growing larger on Juebishan's summit.

Immortal Emperor Toad!

As an immortal of the Guigu Den camp, he became enormously huge at this moment, like a peak atop Juebishan's summit.

He opened his blood‑filled maw; a terrifying tongue shot out with speed surpassing time and space, countless thunderbolts scattered, rending the void like a dread divine spear, thrusting toward Li Che transformed into a Kunpeng!

The Lightning Eel Immortal roared, drawing upon the heaven‑covering origin power; at this moment, the Lightning Eel Immortal is at the peak of his battle power.

He actually managed to block the killing move of the Immortal Emperor Toad, which was a step above him!

Although his thunderous flesh body was pierced, under the support of the thunder origin he quickly recovered.

The Immortal Thunder Tiger turned into a fierce tiger sprinting wildly in the thunder rain, soaring alongside the Kun-Peng.

Buddha light shone everywhere; even the immortals of Black Sumeru took action.

Emitting Buddha light, as if tearing open the void, it turned into an immeasurably huge golden Buddhist staff, its clanking sound echoing as it struck toward the Kun-Peng.

The Thunder Tiger roared, colliding with the golden Buddhist staff in its roar, its body shuddering violently as if about to explode!

The golden Buddhist staff seemed to possess tiger-subduing power, causing the Thunder Tiger some pain!

Li Che paid no heed; a flap of his wings sent demonic aura crisscrossing, bursting forth with utmost speed as he swooped outward from Sheer Cliff Mountain.

Now he didn't want to bother with anything.

Whether it was Qi Tian's side, the Third Prince's side, or the Three-Eyed True Sovereign's side, Li Che paid no attention; his sole purpose now was to set foot in the Prison Lotus Land!

So he buried his head and flew!

Below, immortals unleashed slaughter, shooting up into the sky.

Without the Thunder Eel and Immortal Thunder Tiger to block them, Li Che could only face those immortals' powers himself.

However, the Primordial Kun-Peng that Li Che transformed into using the Eight Transformations Myriad Demon Emperor Dao Fruit was truly too fast; with a sudden lift he surged upward again, and although the pressure was immense, the immortals' attacks on Sheer Cliff Mountain, limited by the origin of Yuan Lei Heaven, were not very mighty.

Li Che's body trembled, life and death qi entwined; in the swaying he dodged the attacks, and those he couldn't dodge he resisted with his flesh body.

He actually managed to withstand these attacks!

Meanwhile, he had already closed the distance to leap over Sheer Cliff Mountain, with less than three thousand li left!

Just a few breaths would complete the leap!

Feathers like blades, clanking; a single flap instantly increased speed, turning into a straight mythic ancient blade that sliced through the void!

"He's going to fly over Sheer Cliff Mountain!"

An immortal fumed!

With so many spirits guarding here, if after all this trouble they were still flown over by the Prison Lotus camp's spirits, that would be truly embarrassing!

Terrifying origin shock; each immortal gave their all, unleashing world-shocking slaughter.

Countless thunder-origin rainwater were completely emptied by the bombardment.

Like one after another howling up, dragging tail flames like rockets, shooting straight up at Li Che!

His gaze swept, a feather fluttered down.

Instantly, the feather expanded, transformed into the likeness of the Immortal Bird Emperor, spread its wings, like a second Kun-Peng, actually swallowing many immortals' attacks.

The Immortal Bird Emperor bled profusely, yet kept flapping its wings, wanting to escort the Kun-Peng to leap over the mountain ridge.

"Immortal Bird Emperor... also revived?"

"These dead immortals, all revived by the Prison Lotus!"

"In the Prison Lotus camp, who exactly has such means?"

"Able to seize life from the netherworld!"

Immortals standing on the mountain peak, bodies chilly.

In the distant void.

The Three Worlds Buddha frowned, Amitabha Buddha chanting, but Qi Tian laughed loudly to the heavens, a staff sweep came over.

"Old Buddha, dare to be distracted while fighting me, Old Sun? You only came with a past incarnation, aren't you afraid I'll smash your past incarnation!"

Emperor Hong, wielding the Human Emperor's great sword in battle with the Third Prince, eyes cold, blade flash, about to repel the Third Prince, break free to intercept the Kun-Peng leaping Sheer Cliff Mountain.

However, among the Third Prince's eight arms, four simultaneously stretched out, tightly gripping that great sword of the Human Emperor Hong, preventing Emperor Hong's Human Emperor from escaping!

Enraged, Emperor Hong felt reluctant to abandon the Human Emperor's great sword.

Moreover, Emperor Hong lacked confidence he could now block the Kun-Peng!

That speed, indeed surprisingly fast, even within the rules-limited Sheer Cliff Mountain domain, could still break the situation by a flying charge!

This Earth Store King, truly a heaven-sent genius!

Emperor Hong's Human Emperor somewhat felt that in this lifetime's Prison Lotus camp, the most troublesome was not Qi Tian, the Third Prince, nor the Three-Eyed True Sovereign, but this Earth Store King!

Three thousand li!

Two thousand li!

One thousand li!

The Kun-Peng that Li Che transformed into had eyes like a hawk's, like a mirror, already reflecting the Sheer Cliff Mountain's domain barrier!

That is an immeasurably hazy light curtain!

Filled with an extremely pure aura of heaven and earth will!

However, Li Che now, as the Heaven-Opening Martial Immortal who proved the Dao of Yuan Lei Heaven, can open Yuan Lei Heaven, naturally can also open this domain barrier!

This domain barrier cannot stop him!

Hum—

Wings flapped hard, great wind arises!

A thousand li distance, just a moment of soaring!

"Amitabha Buddha..."

Just as Li Che's transformed Kun-Peng was about to touch that domain barrier.

That domain barrier suddenly trembled, actually bursting forth a vast, pouring down... Buddha light!

As if applying a film onto the barrier!

Buddha light further condensed into a smiling Buddha face with long ears.

The Buddha face narrowed its eyes, gazing at Li Che who had transformed into the Kun-Peng!

Buzz—

Terrifying Heavenly Immortal primal origin aura poured down, from the Buddha light, swiftly pressing down to envelop Li Che!

Where the Buddha light passed, even light seemed to be frozen!

"Retreat."

The Buddha's voice was mighty, as if seizing the heart and soul!

Countless barriers of Buddha light transformed into an enormous Buddha palm!

Li Che's eyes were filled with shock and anger!

Another Heavenly Immortal of imperial level!

Black Sumeru succeeds the Three Worlds Tathagata; after the Golden Cicada Immortal, it is the third Heavenly Immortal, and moreover is a Radiant Light Buddha of the same level as Nüwa and the Heaven-Reaching Divine Emperor!

The appearance of this Radiant Light Buddha was too sudden, as if it had been prepared in advance, as if it had foreseen Li Che's path.

It caught Li Che off guard.

The Kunpeng that Li Che transformed into was fixed in the heavens, like a frame frozen in a camera; even if Li Che exerted all his power, he could not break free, as if being tightly bound in a tiny space.

Countless origins of the thunder sea were also frozen, as if heaven and earth had been put on pause.

However, only the enormous Buddha palm formed from that Buddha light was coming down to strike.

It aimed to slap Li Che back.

Suddenly.

Just as that Buddha palm was about to strike Li Che.

The void was torn open.

The suppression Li Che felt, the feeling that time itself had been frozen, instantly shattered, restoring his ability to move.

But he saw……

In the torn void before him.

A fat black dog wagging its tail strolled out leisurely from that void.

Facing that enormous Buddha palm, it slapped out a fluffy, dainty paw.
