Chapter 643: Hard-shaking the Celestial Immortal Cliff to forge a Martial Immortal artifact, conquering Dog Lord White

He frenziedly grasped the martial fortune of the entire Prison Lotus Land, drawing all the heaven-and-earth essence within it into his body.

It transformed into the most solid source of power for a peerless martial immortal!

Li Che's black hair flew wildly, his eyes blazing to the extreme; Opening Heaven succeeded, the primordial heaven of the Prison Lotus Land was torn apart, countless primordial sources, like a waterfall plunging three thousand feet, rushed and smashed onto Li Che's body.

That is the power of thunderfire, the power of the Prison Lotus' annihilation!

It was immensely strong, yet constantly being devoured by Li Che's mystic gate martial art, the qi-blood vortex.

Li Che's mystic gate martial art originally came from transforming the Eight Mystic Gate Martial Arts; after merging with the Primordial Eight Tribulations, it became a mystic gate immortal seed.

And within each mystic gate aperture actually lies the power of the Primordial Tribulation!

The Primordial Tribulation actually corresponds to various kinds of heaven-and-earth primordial source power!

The immortal martial supreme learning currently mastered by Li Che also contains the attribute of the Dao Tribulation.

For example, the immortal martial supreme learning, the Myriad Transformations Dragon-Elephant Furnace, fuses the Primordial Fire Tribulation; within the heaven-and-earth primordial source of the Prison Lotus Land now surges the Prison Lotus Fire, which is a fire-attribute power.

Therefore, Li Che directly chose to open this mystic gate martial aperture.

With a movement of his body, Li Che, like a cannonball, devoured the Prison Lotus Fire within the Primordial Sea, transforming it into the furnace fire power of the Myriad Transformations Dragon-Elephant Furnace!

Burning, blazing, twisting!

Li Che charged into the Primordial Sea; his sight was nothing but a sea of primordial fire.

Clenching his five fingers into a fist, Li Che released his stance training and thrust out a horizontal punch.

As the fist flew, wind, clouds, and fire moved; a huge furnace appeared floating above his head.

It was precisely the Myriad Transformations Dragon-Elephant Furnace!

Accompanied by dragon roars and elephant cries, that furnace instantly began to grow continuously, as if piling up countless Prison Lotus Fires, swirling and expanding, growing and growing——

Li Che sat cross-legged in the Primordial Sea, as if he had become the center of a vortex.

His whole person was like refined gold forged in fire.

The aura on his body rose step by step, constantly assaulting higher levels!

Without a doubt, after another day of devouring the primordial source, Li Che's power, within the Opening Heaven Mystic Immortal realm, will reach even higher and farther!

Li Che even felt a strong urge to assault the Celestial Immortal level!

"Assail the Celestial Immortal..."

"Can it be done?"

Li Che's eyes opened and closed, a strong halo like the blazing brilliance of two suns erupting.

Flames burned behind him, countless black hairs danced wildly, paired with black flames, a perfect match!

"It's hard..."

In the end, Li Che turned into a long sigh.

Celestial Immortal, already able to rival the Heavenly Eternal.

Now Li Che, when facing any Earthly Eternal, is not inferior; he can engage in fierce battle, but against the Heavenly Eternal it is extremely difficult, and he will surely be suppressed.

But, on this path, Li Che has not chosen to stop.

The path of the Celestial Immortal—how should it be walked?

Li Che does not know.

But he can try, constantly assaulting.

With the aid of the Dao Fruit, Li Che has become far stronger than others, saving much time; from weakness he grew rapidly, swiftly reaching his present height, becoming an existence able to rival the peak Earthly Eternal!

Keep charging!

This is Li Che's will and fighting spirit!

He cannot stop his steps; he must forever rush forward!

Boom——

As the Myriad Transformations Dragon-Elephant Furnace gradually filled this mystic gate martial aperture with primordial source, Li Che felt his martial immortal will, as if charging into the heavens above.

Countless golden lights shone, that was the illusory image cast by Li Che's martial immortal golden bone.

Opening his eyes, he seemed to faintly see a heavenly chasm-like cliff!

"Celestial Immortal Cliff!"

Li Che drew a deep breath, clenched his five fingers into a fist; behind him, in the mystic gate martial aperture, the primordial source surged, emitting a terrifying roar, like the blast and fireworks spewing from a fighter jet's rear!

He thrust out a horizontal punch, heavily striking the Celestial Immortal bulwark!

It was like a terrifying cannon roar, exploding between heaven and earth; sound and shock waves rippled outward in circles.

However……

The Celestial Immortal Cliff, however……

Not a thread moved!

Li Che felt his punch as if shaking a terrifyingly massive divine mountain that bears the stability of heaven and earth.

"How could it be……so hard?!"

Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling an unparalleled shock.

It was a sense of his own power being minuscule before the Celestial Immortal bulwark, so minuscule that he had no confidence to shatter it.

Boom——

Li Che refused to believe it; the Myriad Transformations Dragon-Elephant Furnace manifested, as if gathered upon his fist.

Dragon and elephant roared together; the terrifying bellowing force fiercely struck, drilling into that terrifying high wall.

It seemed as if an extremely strong recoil force spread from within, then spread throughout Li Che's entire body.

The shock caused Li Che's martial immortal will to instantly scatter, turning into countless fine shards of golden light.

Within the Primordial Sea, Li Che suddenly opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

Countless Prison Lotus Flames swirled, enveloping his surroundings.

"Not enough…… the origin condensed from opening the Second Heaven is not enough for me to break the Heavenly Immortal Barrier!"

"Moreover, it's still quite lacking!"

"So, I should try to open more heavens next!"

"In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, I have opened a Primordial Thunder Heaven, and there are still many opportunities to strengthen myself."

In the following time, Li Che sat cross-legged within the Origin Sea, constantly stabilizing his breath and condition.

He completely filled and perfected the Mystic Gate Immortal Martial Apertures.

Moreover, as the origin gathered more and more, within Li Che's Mystic Gate Immortal Martial Apertures, even……

Slowly condensed into a Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant Furnace.

No longer an illusion, but a true Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant Furnace, like a divine weapon furnace!

But unlike before, it is not a phantom image projected by exerted power, but a genuine tangible object.

From illusion to reality!

Returning illusion to truth?!

Li Che's heart also involuntarily startled.

"Is this…… something similar to an immortal artifact?"

"So, this is my proof-of-Dao divine weapon?"

"No, it should be called a proof-of-Dao martial immortal artifact!"

With his fingers spread and a thought stirring, the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant Furnace appeared in his palm.

It was a naturally formed furnace, not artificially forged or polished, but a naturally formed existence, containing a unique intent, linked to Li Che's qi and blood, and possessing world-destroying might!

In terms of rank, it is absolutely not inferior to any Earth Immortal Artifact.

To activate this martial immortal artifact, one must be a martial practitioner who walks the martial path.

Having refined the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant Furnace as this martial immortal artifact, it means that Li Che's Immortal Martial Mystic Gate Aperture has been completely tempered.

Standing up, Li Che's body burst forth with a powerful rumbling sound, like rolling thunder.

"I succeeded in opening the Primordial Thunder Heaven, but because I was too rushed, I did not guide the thunderous origin of the Primordial Thunder Heaven into the Immortal Martial Aperture; of course, it's also because my martial art fused with the Primordial Thunder Tribulation has not transformed into an immortal martial art."

Li Che fell into contemplation.

The immortal seed martial art he fused with the Primordial Thunder Tribulation is the Ancestral Dragon Slaughter Technique!

This martial art, up to now, is merely an immortal seed martial art.

The main point is, for this martial art to transform into an immortal martial art, a crucial point is needed: observing the Ancestral Dragon.

And the Ancestral Dragon……

have all fallen in the Endless Sea.

Therefore, Li Che needs to find an opportunity to venture into the Endless Sea, complete the transformation of the Ancestral Dragon Slaughter Technique—this immortal seed martial art—into an immortal martial art, and only then can he further condense the Origin Sea within the Mystic Gate Apertures to assault the Heavenly Immortal Barrier.

Taking a step forward, Li Che left the Origin Sea within the heavenly dome of the Prison Lotus Land.

His black shirt tore apart, revealing golden-ratio muscles, abs and muscle lines, flawless.

His black hair flew and danced wildly, like a cape swaying behind him.

He became the most eye-catching sight between heaven and earth.

With Li Che's appearance, the heavenly dome of the Prison Lotus Land saw all calamitous oppressive pressure vanish, the azure sky returned, winds and clouds surged, and it became extremely comfortable.

The Prison Lotus Mound Pool returned to tranquility, and Xixi continued within the pool to receive the inheritance of the Prison Lotus Maiden.

She is also about to complete the Prison Lotus Maiden's inheritance; once the inheritance ends, her cultivation will be able to obtain a tremendous boost!

However, Li Che did not wait for Xixi to peacefully finish her inheritance.

In the Prison Lotus Land, there is a boss overseeing it; Li Che need not worry about Xixi's safety, for this place is after all the headquarters of the Prison Lotus Camp.

Li Che's time is now pressing; he must revive the Third Prince and Qi Tian, then sound the horn of counterattack.

Now, the situation of the Eighth Generation God Tide has become completely different from before; the deities of the Three Great Gods Camp will surely launch a swifter assault on the Prison Lotus Land.

Moreover, the Three Worlds Tathagata seems to have sensed something; as the Lord of the Dao Fruit, he may wish to probe the truth and touch the mystery.

Perhaps the assault will come even more fiercely.

"Besides…… who else are the lords of other Dao Fruits?"

Li Che landed beside the Prison Lotus Mound Pool, hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the rippling water surface.

Those Dao Fruit Lords whose memories seem to have been washed away—what secrets lie behind them, and what connection do they have with me?

A vast net, an invisible entanglement—Li Che dares not have the slightest slack.

Even if he finds himself within the opponent's schemes, he cannot give up; he must seize this opportunity to strengthen himself and strive to grow.

When he becomes strong enough, only then will he have the means to oppose conspiracies in dire straits.

"You succeeded." The boss strolled over, stepping on the lush green grass beside the Prison Lotus Mound Pool.

"You really dare..."

The boss handed him a rolled cigarette; Li Che took it without ceremony.

The two then, beside the mound pool, began to swallow clouds and exhale mist.

"Boss, lend me Dog Master for a moment."

Li Che said.

"I want to go to the Netherworld to find that Hellfire Divine Wood, reforge the Mechanism Armor, and revive Qi Tian and the Third Prince..."

Upon hearing this, the boss exhaled a stream of drifting smoke, his gaze sweeping over to the distant Dog Master.

Dog Master perhaps acknowledged Li Che; after all, daring to open the Second Heaven's blockhead, he's truly someone... one cannot afford to offend.

Li Che also looked over; Dog Master then raised his paw, making a "no problem" gesture, causing Li Che to burst out laughing.

Finally, I conquered this big black dog!

Having finished a cigarette, Li Che slowly rose to his feet and stretched.

Waving at Dog Grandpa, he said, "Boss, I'll take that Dog Grandpa with me; Xixi here... I entrust to you."

The boss also stood up, his white robes fluttering fiercely in the wind.

"Good."

His words ended.

Dog Grandpa shot forth, transforming into a puppy, which he stuffed into the collar of Li Che's newly donned black robe.

Then Li Che raised his hand and pressed it to the point between his brows.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard suddenly unfolded.

His whole body then flickered like starlight, racing across the chessboard and crashing into the domain boundary walls.

……

……

Boom—

On the city situated atop the domain boundary walls of Yuanlei Heaven and Yulian Earth.

A white‑clad figure sat silently atop the city tower; the city's terrestrial immortals had already fled wisely, for if they remained they would likely be cut down by the berserk Three‑Eyed True Lord.

The Three‑Eyed True Lord of the Yulian camp burned everything to ash.

Single‑handedly, he held back four imperial‑level immortals: the Three Ages Tathagata, the Eternal Light Buddha, the Emperor Hong Human Sovereign, and the Taiyi Immortal—truly unmatched in dominance, overwhelmingly powerful.

Even now, in the void, they remain locked in confrontation.

Interwoven terrifying aura, filled with annihilating power, such that even a slight ripple could severely wound a Nirvana immortal and cause a Dao‑severing immortal's fleshly body to collapse!

This is the aura clash of imperial‑level immortals, belonging to the true pinnacle of power in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard contracted to a palm‑sized space; Li Che, holding Dog Grandpa, stood upon that tiny board, appearing amid the clashing confrontation, his whole body like a gust of wind, letting those forces pass through him without leaving a trace.

Li Che's concealment ability has increased once again.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard, the Slumbering Dragon Elephant, and similar concealment abilities have nearly been raised to their peak state.

Unless they act personally, the four imperial‑level immortals currently confronting the Three‑Eyed True Lord would hardly perceive Li Che.

Li Che's gaze swept over and landed on the city tower, where the white‑clad figure, stained with blood, was surrounded by drifting petals—the Three‑Eyed True Lord.

The True Lord sat upright, brewing and drinking tea, exuding utter leisure.

Beside the tea table lay a three‑pointed, double‑edged blade, radiating sharpness.

Sensing something, the Three‑Eyed True Lord gave an almost imperceptible nod in Li Che's direction.

Li Che exhaled a breath.

Watching the Three‑Eyed True Lord's immortal origin blaze like a furnace, as time passes, that immortal origin will eventually burn out.

The Three Ages Tathagata, the Eternal Light Buddha, and other imperial‑level immortals are likely also waiting for this moment.

They have no desire to fight the Three‑Eyed True Lord to the death; it's unnecessary.

No one knows just whom this Three‑Eyed True Lord, who barely won, could narrowly defeat.

This title is not an empty reputation; it was earned through genuine slaughter.

This time will not be overly long.

Therefore, they wait for the Three‑Eyed True Lord to slowly burn out, finally dissipating between heaven and earth; for them, the Yulian realm becomes utterly defenseless.

Li Che exhaled, clasped his fists, and bowed respectfully.

The next moment, as he clenched his fingers, the Flying Thunder chess piece left hovering over the Endless Sea trembled with faint ripples, and his whole body vanished.

And at the instant Li Che disappeared.

The seated Eternal Light Buddha suddenly opened his eyes; that subtle fluctuation seemed to be caught by his Buddha‑light.

His eyes narrowed slightly, but after a moment he closed them again.

……

……

Endless Sea.

Rolling waves surged, raising terrifying, heaven‑toppling torrents.

The sea surface was far from calm; constant undercurrents surged, causing the waves to crest and explode into white spray.

The roar thundered like quaking thunder, as if heavenly deities were desperately beating war drums.

Upon the sea surface lay an enormous black whirlpool, the water dyed black, continually drawing in toward it, as if plunging into boundless darkness with no return.

All the water of the Endless Sea seemed destined to be swallowed, yet the Endless Sea is ultimately boundless.

Rich death‑qi and the wellspring of death seeped from that black whirlpool, a low dragon's chant erupting from within, like the leaders of the dead chanting.

That is the bewitching sound emitted by the Netherworld Dragon Emperor, the form taken by the Immortal Dragon Emperor after pledging allegiance to the Netherworld.

Hum—

A sharp sword light sliced through.

The Netherworld's bewitching wail ceased abruptly; in the Endless Sea's waters, many marine creatures instantly startled, fleeing upstream in panic.

The Heaven‑Reaching God‑Emperor sat enthroned at the Netherworld's gate, his gaze filled with indifference.

He calmly regarded the three dragon shadows within the Netherworld's mouth.

Netherworld Dragon Emperor, Netherworld Candle Dragon, Netherworld Ying Dragon…

They ought to have been the three primordial ancestor dragons of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, among the oldest living beings; yet in this present divine tide, they sought a novel path and pledged themselves to the Netherworld.

"I… will eventually slay you."

"Traitor."

The Heaven-Reaching God Emperor said lightly.

His voice was full of domineering aura and killing intent.

His sword was inherently an unstoppable domineering aura.

Emperor Hong, the Human Sovereign, walks the path of the Human Dao Sovereign, ruling with the sword.

And his Heaven-Reaching God Emperor's sword is that of a Sword Dao Sovereign!

Hum—

A terrifying phantom stood, its thick death aura almost condensing into substance, viscous and surging.

"Heaven-Reaching... you can't hold out for long."

"You Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have traitors... not just the Ancestral Dragon lineage; your guarding and suppression are in vain."

"The army of the Netherworld will eventually tear through the barriers and descend!"

The hoarse voice seemed to represent death; merely hearing it gives one the feeling that vitality is being cut off.

From the Netherworld's mouth, through that vortex hole, it seemed as if one saw within the Netherworld that supremely terrifying existence.

Death Sovereign!

One of the Three Sovereigns of the Netherworld!

The Death Sovereign rides the Netherworld Heroic Dragon; although he is in the Netherworld, he is exalted above, looking down upon the Heaven-Reaching God Emperor.

The Heaven-Reaching God Emperor flicked a finger, and the brilliant sword's hum exploded.

It seemed as if his entire body were made of swords.

"I don't care who the traitor is; since I happened to encounter the Netherworld's mouth, I naturally must suppress it to the end."

"As for the traitors... someone will eventually deal with them."

The Heaven-Reaching God Emperor said lightly.

Suddenly, the Heaven-Reaching God Emperor's will moved, sweeping toward the distance.

There, on the surface of the Endless Sea, a figure fled in utter disarray; the sea water was split in two by the terrifying and sharp sword light, forming two extreme white waves that raced across the surface.

"Xian Shen?"

The Heaven-Reaching God Emperor's expression remained calm as he recognized the comer.

He was precisely the Trapped God Immortal among his four disciples.

Slay God, Kill God, Trapped God, Sever God, the Four Immortal Disciples; now only the Trapped God has come, meaning his other four disciples... possibly... all have been killed.

"Master!"

The Trapped God Immortal also saw the Heaven-Reaching God Emperor seated in command at the Netherworld's Mouth.

His eyes instantly turned red; as an Earth Immortal, at this moment he was also filled with sorrow.

The four Earth Immortals, four brothers, whose combined sword formation could battle Heaven Immortals—what extraordinary grace.

But now, only he returns in disgrace!

Too tragic.

Boom—

The Trapped God Immortal shot forth, and upon nearing, he violently dropped to his knees, smashing onto the vortex sea surface of the Endless Sea, blasting the water up into high waves.

"Disciple unworthy, I have survived in disgrace; Slay God, Kill God, and Sever God... they, they were all harmed by the Hell Lotus Camp!"

"The Slay God Sword, Kill God Sword, and Sever God Sword have been lost, taken by that Earth Store Immortal!"

The Trapped God Immortal cried out bitterly.

Thud thud thud—

The Trapped God Immortal, kneeling on the sea surface, moving forward on his knees, continually inched closer to the Heaven-Reaching God Emperor.

The Heaven-Reaching God Emperor let out a soft sigh; as their master, he naturally sensed something, but when the Trapped God Immortal truly spoke...

His heart still trembled slightly.

Thinking of those four children he had watched grow up since childhood...

Huh?

The Heaven-Reaching God Emperor's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp!

"Rebellious disciple!!!!"
