Chapter 625: Gou Ye Roars, Carving Through the Realm‑Barrier Wall, the Boss Says Yu Lian

A delicate, exquisite dog paw emerged from the void and slapped onto the massive Buddha palm formed by the vast Buddha light of Ding Guang Buddha.

The dog paw collided with the Buddha palm like ants striking a skyscraper.

The skyscraper was brutally carved into fragments by the ants, collapsing inch by inch, countless cracks appearing on it, the broken steel and earth shaking loose!

The Buddha palm was shattered by the dog paw!

A power of imperial‑level celestial immortal was explosively broken by the elegant dog paw that stepped out of the void!

Undoubtedly, this dog… also possesses imperial‑level power!

Li Che transformed into a Kunpeng, his overwhelming demonic aura soaring skyward, eyes glittering, his heart pounding in his chest, and upon seeing the familiar plump black dog, a wave of comfort and excitement spread through him.

Besides that, there was also a feeling of a weight lifted.

Why was it a weight lifted?

Because Li Che had originally feared that the boss and Gou Ye were targeted by the three great divine factions and might have been killed.

After entering Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Li Che had not heard any news of the boss or Gou Ye.

Now, receiving word again and seeing Gou Ye charge from the void, dispelling a huge crisis for him, Li Che naturally relaxed completely.

Boom—

Li Che steadied his form, his eyes shining!

"Gou Ye!"

The plump black dog wagged its tail, glanced at Li Che, now a Kunpeng, with a hint of disdain flashing in its eyes.

What's the point of turning into a bird‑man for nothing?

Li Che really is developing a heavier taste!

Still, Gou Ye's first playmate, Xixi, is the best.

"Dog?"

On the massive sheer cliff, the cascading Buddha light coalesced into an enormous Buddha face—the visage of Ding Guang Buddha.

This Black Sumeru, comparable to the imperial‑level Ding Guang Buddha, opened its massive Buddha mouth, emitting a deafening sound.

"Where did that black dog come from?"

In this world, only the black dog of Er Lang Xian Sheng Zhenjun can be so powerful.

But Er Lang Xian Sheng Zhenjun is currently dueling with Tai Yi Bu Xiu, and that black dog has also emerged, frantically snapping at Tai Yi Bu Xiu.

And before them, another plump black dog suddenly appeared.

Is this Er Lang Xian Sheng Zhenjun's trump card?

No!

Ding Guang Buddha thought it certainly wasn't Er Lang Xian Sheng Zhenjun's method, because even his just‑formed Ding Guang palm, even if Er Lang Xian Sheng Zhenjun himself arrived, could only barely block it, never shatter with a single paw like this black dog did!

Whose dog is this, after all?!

The massive Buddha face of Ding Guang Buddha showed a hint of solemnity.

And is this dog also from the Yu Lian faction?!

Countless Buddha lights burst forth like an earth‑shaking Buddha rain, but before they could touch Gou Ye, they automatically twisted away.

Buzz—

The Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Dao Fruit trembled, and countless demonic qi contracted.

Li Che assumed the form of Ksitigarbha King, his white jade mask reflecting light, countless thunderbolts exploding around him, resonating with the primordial aura of Primordial Thunder Heaven.

Gou Ye looked over with surprise, not expecting Li Che to have cultivated to such heights; his progress was indeed rapid.

No wonder he's the best friend's father—Xixi's dad!

Li Che's overwhelming aura vibrated, his celestial blood and spirit pressing like a mountain.

Li Che gazed at the Ding Guang Buddha face that had emerged on the sheer cliff.

Delayed by Ding Guang Buddha, the immortals behind were rapidly closing in.

A chill gradually surfaced in his eyes; Li Che hadn't expected Black Sumeru to resort to such despicable and disgusting tactics, choosing to block at the cliff's barrier.

Moreover, being an imperial‑level celestial immortal, to act in such sneaky, dog‑like ways!

My Buddha truly spares no falsehood!

"Gou Ye, I now need to take Xixi across the sheer cliff into Yu Lian land! Please!"

Li Che spoke in a deep voice.

Gou Ye flicked his tail, raised his dog paw, and the plump paw struck a confident pose.

Then he opened his mouth and let out a roar.

It was as if stars entered the end of destruction, countless magma fissures appearing, scorching hot magma leaping, burning and warping the void.

Countless primordial substances and crimson scorching energy, as Gou Ye roared, gradually coalesced before his lips into a terrifying energy sphere that seemed to collapse the void itself!

Bang—!!!

A terrifying blast erupted from Gou Ye's mouth, the massive impact forming a red pillar of light, like a gigantic dog paw protruding from a shattered star fissure, carving open and destroying every barrier.

It was pure primordial energy, akin to the original annihilation force that creates destruction.

An immense, world‑ending infernal hell‑dog phantom emerged behind the tiny Gou Ye, its blue veins rippling like magma, trembling and shaking, causing heaven and earth to quake!

At the peak of Sheer Cliff Mountain, an extremely brilliant radiance erupted instantly.

The gazes of strong cultivators from all sides were drawn there, and the ongoing clashes fell silent.

"This is..."

Each immortal felt a tremor in their hearts, overwhelmed with horror.

Within that terrifying annihilation beam, it seemed the primordial power was pushed to its utmost.

When Tai Yi Bu Xiu clashed with San Yan Zhenjun, countless black dog shadows intertwined across the sky, finally converging into a slender black hound.

The clash between the two halted.

Taiyi Immortal's vortex‑like eye lifted, and instantly saw the scene that had taken place before the sheer cliff wall.

He glanced at the slender black dog beside the Three‑Eyed True Lord, then glanced at the fat black dog that spewed the world‑annihilating, jetting primordial light pillar, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

The slender black dog beside the Three‑Eyed True Lord instantly became incensed, as if its fur were about to burst.

A roar of anger bellowed, as if a shockwave of vibration spread outward.

The slender black dog's fighting spirit ignited, and it rushed madly toward Taiyi Immortal.

The Three‑Eyed True Lord withdrew his gaze, said nothing, but his mind relaxed, knowing that with this black dog intervening, everything should be stable.

Although the Three‑Eyed True Lord was reluctant to admit it, his own Howling Heaven truly could not match this fat black dog.

……

……

Boom—!!!

The terrifying annihilating primordial light pillar seemed to slash through time and space, shattering all barrier forces!

It slammed into the domain boundary wall; the Buddha light pouring down was continuously washed, and being pierced by that primordial light pillar, it trembled at once.

The colossal face of the Dingguang Buddha erupted brilliant golden light from its eyes.

The raging thunder across the sky seemed to freeze; countless Buddha lights burst brilliantly, the chanting Buddha sounds shone supreme, and the shattered Buddha light in the void coalesced into numerous Buddha and Arhat silhouettes.

It was as if ten thousand great Buddhas perched throughout the void, turning the entire Primordial Thunder Heaven into a Buddha realm!

However, the light pillar spewed from Dog Lord's mouth was tyrannically unreasonable, striking the Buddha light barrier; the destructive force spreading outward violently ripped those silhouettes apart.

Clack clack—

The Dingguang Buddha's face began to show dense cracks; a twisted fissure appeared, then uncontrollably spread, as if contagious, covering the entire visage.

Finally, accompanied by an earth‑shaking roar, the Buddha light was cleaved open!

The annihilating power struck the domain boundary wall with relentless force.

At that moment, heaven and earth fell deathly silent, as if all sound had vanished.

Only the dazzling white light sphere kept expanding, growing ever larger.

Countless howling air currents roared outward, and the entire Primordial Thunder Heaven was stirred into terrifying gale, as if the collision would tear it apart!

"Now!"

Li Che's eyes hardened.

He knew Dog Lord was already giving his all to create a chance to break the stalemate!

Li Che stepped forward, his body trembling in an instant; behind him, seven mysterious celestial martial orifices surged, and his terrifying blood qi, like a turbocharger, forcefully propelled his blood energy!

He seemed to become a cannonball, blasting at breakneck speed toward the domain boundary wall.

He surged through the hole carved by Dog Lord!

Li Che did not intend to cooperate with Dog Lord to assault the Dingguang Buddha, an imperial‑grade celestial immortal.

His sole purpose now was to break the deadlock, break out of Primordial Thunder Heaven, and enter the Jail Lotus Realm!

Once he entered the Jail Lotus Realm, he would be liberated!

All the sacrifices, all the obstacles, all the goals were for bringing Xixi into the Jail Lotus Realm.

Boom!!!

Li Che's speed reached its extreme, fully unleashing the power of the Sky‑Opening Martial Immortal; the thunder‑magnetic track Dao fruit vibrated, countless thunders were drawn, spiraling behind him.

It made Li Che seem to become a terrifying world‑shocking thunder gun, intent on piercing everything and breaking the seal!

"Stop him!"

Although the Dingguang Buddha's face was shattered by Dog Lord's roar, it was not overly surprised, and a faint voice rang out.

Then, ahead of Li Che's swift charge, two brilliant golden dragon‑tiger figures emerged in dazzling gold light.

One was a dragon, the other a tiger!

They floated in the air, forming a rule that barred the will of heaven and earth.

Perhaps because these two were divine weapons, not immortals!

Yet the golden dragon and tiger figures quivered, as if given life, bursting with immortal‑level aura; their angry eyes opened, transforming into two golden‑clad monks that blocked Li Che.

"Get lost!"

Li Che let out a long howl, and the Dragon‑Elephant Vajra Dao fruit leapt like thunder.

He clenched his five fingers into a fist, and the moment he thrust outward, myriad transformations erupted; the myriad‑changing Dragon‑Elephant furnace spanned the sky, toppling down, releasing dragon‑elephant phantoms.

Dong dong—

Li Che's speed was too great; the physical strength of the Sky‑Opening Martial Immortal was unprecedented.

The two golden Buddha statues, Descending Dragon and Subduing Tiger, clashed fists with Li Che; Li Che hammered them with two punches to their chests, their golden bodies instantly caved in, rebounding like cannonballs in mid‑air.

But the next moment, the two transformed into gigantic golden statues of Descending Dragon and Subduing Tiger!

Amid dragon roars and tiger snarls, they attacked Li Che, who sought to break the stalemate!

Li Che's fist technique shifted again; his foot stepped on the Phoenix‑Kirin Void‑Suppressing seal, smashing down, clashing with the terrifying massive dragon‑tiger method!

Dong dong dong—

It was pure flesh‑on‑flesh collision, yet Li Che's mortal body could not be broken by Descending Dragon and Subduing Tiger.

The immortal body of life and death inherently possesses indestructibility; only if Li Che faced an unstoppable force would he be erased.

Otherwise, Li Che would be like an unkillable cockroach, able to constantly restore his life and reignite his combat aura!

The two peak‑level Earth Immortal Buddha statues were instantly flung left and right by Li Che, the great dragon and fierce tiger colliding with the domain boundary wall.

Li Che furrowed his brows coldly, murderous intent raging, yet he did not pause to release it; instead he gathered his breath, aiming to break through in one surge!

After blasting the Descending Dragon and Subduing Tiger Buddha statues away, Li Che leaned forward, his speed surged again, becoming a blur of light too swift to grasp.

When the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Dao Fruit was released, Li Che again became a Primordial Kunpeng and rushed out at breakneck speed!

Bang—

In an instant, Li Che's body slammed into the hollow on the massive barrier that Dog Lord had chiseled open!

The hollow looked small, but in reality its diameter was as large as a hundred li!

Too massive!

The primordial energy raging inside flickered erratically, as if any willpower entering it would be disturbed and lose the ability to judge.

"What a damned bald donkey!"

Dog Lord muttered angrily!

Obviously, Ding Guang Buddha also infused his primordial essence, causing the primordial force that traverses the realm barrier to become utterly chaotic, unable to sense the direction of the Prison Lotus Land.

This turned the exit of the realm barrier into a terrifying maze.

Dog Lord waved a paw again, fluffy like the tiny paw of a newborn puppy.

But it had no deterrent power, only a gentle breeze rose.

Dog Lord intended to help Li Che, but was blocked by Ding Guang Buddha.

Li Che crashed into the void turbulence, amidst the terrifying, ever‑raging Imperial‑grade Heavenly Immortal forces clashing.

Space and time fell into complete chaos, due to Ding Guang Buddha's interfering power.

Ding Guang Buddha did not manifest his true form, yet a slight move was enough to hinder Li Che's path.

This is Heixumi's Imperial‑grade Heavenly Immortal.

Li Che's eyes were cold and ruthless; he had heard the Third Prince speak of the Eighth Generation God Tide, whose behind stood Heixumi.

Ding Guang Buddha might be one of the hidden masterminds…

At this moment, Li Che's murderous intent surged, yet he had to suppress that killing urge.

Ding Guang Buddha's level of Heavenly Immortal was not something he could defeat now.

He could not let anger cloud his mind; he must break the deadlock and burst out of Prime Thunder Heaven!

Boom—!!!

The realm barrier was not a thin layer; it was like an extremely massive wall, its thickness alone reaching a hundred li.

And that hundred‑li distance far exceeded distances of a thousand or ten thousand li.

Because of chaos and the pressure of Heaven and Earth's will, myriad factors combined like an abyssal mire, making Li Che unable to move a single step!

Within Li Che's chest, the Pure Heart Dao Fruit trembled, its pure heart divinity flowing out, gradually calming his boiling anger.

He exhaled.

In his chest, the Space‑Time Golden Wheel Dao Fruit began to vibrate unusually.

Behind him, the clanging of the Space‑Time Golden Wheel turning interwove, allowing Li Che's eyes to see clearly the hazy, chaotic spacetime before him.

The spacetime that Ding Guang Buddha had scrambled was, at this moment, smoothed by the Space‑Time Golden Wheel!

Li Che clearly felt that as the Space‑Time Golden Wheel Dao Fruit smoothed the chaotic realm‑barrier passage, the fruit's maturity was soaring at a very rapid rate!

Li Che's heart rejoiced, but he had no time to gauge how much the maturity had increased.

He dared not waste time; the Kunpeng's wing flapped, blasting a burst of air into a black flash, reaching ultimate speed, enveloped by the Space‑Time Golden Wheel, like a fallen golden raven, soaring toward the realm‑barrier mouth pierced by the power column erased by Dog Lord.

Roar—

Fuhu and Jianglong Buddha deities reappeared; they are Ding Guang Buddha's divine weapons, transformed into Heavenly Immortal power capable of resisting the suppression of Heaven and Earth's will.

The two pursued, aiming to restrain Li Che.

Since the realm barrier can self‑heal, once Li Che is restrained, they can keep him trapped until the barrier fully recovers.

Li Che would then be confined again within the realm barrier; at that moment, Ding Guang Buddha would strike, sealing Li Che inside the barrier with a force as fixed as time, and the Prison Lotus camp's breakout battle would be utterly crushed!

Li Che naturally sensed this scheme.

Facing the immortal‑level divine weapons Jianglong and Fuhu, Li Che's mind flickered slightly.

The wing flapped, and a feather instantly fell.

In the split second of flight, countless dragon shadows formed instantly, roaring and bellowing, becoming a massive pool that enveloped Fuhu and Jianglong!

Nine‑Dragon Ten‑Thousand‑Calamity Qi!

Two Saint Divine Weapons—who doesn't have them?!

Having done all this, Li Che didn't even look back.

And Fuhu and Jianglong were also decisive; Fuhu voluntarily abandoned himself, entangled by Nine‑Dragon Ten‑Thousand‑Calamity Qi, yet helped Jianglong break free, allowing Jianglong to continue chasing Li Che.

The relentless pursuit behind him sparked a sudden surge of Li Che's wrath.

However, when he thought that Jianglong was a divine weapon, his heart flickered slightly.

The inner scene of the mud sphere expanded and contracted.

In the next moment, the Heaven‑and‑Earth Chessboard that had been blocking Prime Thunder Heaven instantly returned to Li Che's side, which he summoned, moving toward the Jianglong Buddha divine weapon of Ding Guang Buddha.

Jianglong was caught off guard, instantly enveloped by the Heaven‑and‑Earth Chessboard.

Li Che offered his Seven‑Orifice Exquisite Heart, casting it onto the Heaven‑and‑Earth Chessboard, accompanied by his heart's thudding.

It actually severed the connection between Jianglong's divine weapon and Ding Guang Buddha!

With no pursuers behind, Li Che's body relaxed, yet his heart couldn't help but feel a slight chill.

Because he saw the broken exit of the realm barrier slowly healing together, as if about to close completely.

Once it closed, Ding Guang Buddha would surely strike again.

Li Che let out a long howl; the Dragon‑Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit crackled like thunder, each Qimen Xianwu acupoint on his spine was stimulated to the limit, his qi and blood burst forth, carving streams of blood across the void!

"Faster!"

"Even faster!"

Li Che's body turned into a Kunpeng, yet under the utmost speed, the countless air currents displaced before his body began to burn fiercely.

Boom——!!!

The healed boundary wall of the realm left barely a fist‑sized opening.

The next instant.

Ten blood‑stained fingers forced their way out, pressing against both sides of the healed boundary wall, a long, howling roar exploded, and the terrifying flesh unleashed an extremely fierce warrior's strength.

With pure physical might, he ripped and shattered the closed opening of the boundary wall!

Clack‑clack——

Like the sound of a glass door being smashed.

Resounding through the entire heavens and earth.

Li Che was no longer in the form of a Kunpeng; his whole body was riddled with wounds, blood gushing everywhere.

Yet his eyes shone with unparalleled brightness.

Boom——

As if the heavens themselves were shifting!

Countless thunderous roars faded away from his ears.

In their place came a dead silence, as if a flower were blooming slowly in stillness.

His jet‑black hair was stained with blood, swinging crimson droplets.

Li Che forced his way out of Primordial Thunder Heaven, broke the barrier, and stepped into another world.

Jail Lotus Land!

Rumble—!

The boundless pressure vanished completely, as if mountains were being lifted off his shoulders.

Li Che gasped heavily, breathing in large gulps.

Boom——

Suddenly.

Behind him, the shattered boundary wall erupted with endless Buddha radiance.

A golden bowl radiating intense Buddha light, etched with dense Buddhist script, shot out from the broken boundary wall.

It spun swiftly, projecting a beam that solidified everything.

Shining toward Li Che's body!

The breath Li Che had just released was instantly drawn in again.

He whirled around sharply, his whole body tensing.

Then, a figure in white clothing appeared suddenly, a palm resting on his shoulder.

Hum—

The next moment.

Li Che saw a kitchen knife; the familiar knife slipped from the white‑clothed figure's hand and he grasped it.

He slashed at the golden, solidified time‑space beam projected from the golden bowl.

He cut through the beam all the way, finally striking the golden bowl.

It was light and effortless, silky smooth, as if he had split a golden fried dough stick.

Then, the long‑absent, cool and indifferent voice of the boss rang out.

"Relax, this is Jail Lotus Land."

"It's our... home ground."
