Chapter 666: then translation of title

Boom——!!!

Terrifying qi and blood burst forth explosively from Li Che's body, surging into the clouds and piercing the heavens and earth of the Profound Heavens!

As if it had pierced through everything!

What terrifying qi and blood this is!

Extremely scorching and mighty, it is a level never before seen, a realm that even Dao Fruit Masters have long yearned for!

And now, Li Che has finally broken through into this realm!

After slaying two Imperial-tier Undying with his Mystic Immortal cultivation, Li Che's cultivation rose again, and his Dao Fruit underwent another transformation, reaching an unprecedented Nine Transformations!

This can even be said to surpass the level of Dao Fruit Masters.

Of course, Li Che cannot guarantee that no Dao Fruit Master has ever reached this height of Nine Transformations.

But at least the Nine Transformations level is an extremely rare height, and also a height Li Che has always pursued!

Hiss—

From every pore it seemed to seep out blood, that crystal-clear, blood-diamond-like blood brimming with terrifying energy!

Li Che opened his eyes, and brilliant golden radiance tore apart heaven and earth.

The height Li Che once desperately pursued has finally been reached by him, and standing upon it in a single step gives him a feeling of looking down upon everything.

It's different, completely different.

The Nine Transformations of the Dao Fruit bring a feeling of accomplishment and perfection!

In his chest, the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit throbbed vigorously, echoing incessantly like thunder; vaguely, Li Che seemed to see the Dao Tree swaying, its fine leaves rustling, sending forth the sound of vast ocean waves.

Merely transmitting a bit of it outwards was like a thunderclap that could shatter one's liver and gall!

Nine Transformations!

Li Che lifted his head high, and strand after strand of his hair stood on end.

Equal Heaven, the Buddha of Fixed Light, and the nearby Third Prince all felt shocked, staring in disbelief.

They saw the qi and blood on Li Che's body rising step by step.

As if an ancient god-demon coeval with heaven and earth had revived, every move possessing the terrifying power to destroy heaven and earth.

The Nine Transformations Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit released mighty power, aiding Li Che in transforming his flesh.

At this moment, the Life-and-Death Immortal Body seemed to complete its final transformation.

His tendons and bones became even more fearsome, and his membranes became incredibly tough.

Li Che felt that at this moment, his martial cultivation alone had received an unprecedented boost and leap!

At this moment, facing a single Imperial-tier Undying one-on-one would pose no difficulty whatsoever.

Boom—

The mighty essence of the Nine Transformations Dao Fruit surged forth, swallowed by the four Immortal Martial Mystic Apertures, further boosting his martial cultivation!

His eyes burst forth with ultimate brilliant radiance, his chest trembled, and the trembling ripples washed over his flesh, allowing his body to undergo the most terrifying elevation and transformation!

This transformation, accompanied by the jumping of the Dao Fruit in his chest, proceeds constantly.

"Perfect and flawless, impeccable!"

In Li Che's mind, a thought arose regarding his current flesh.

The Nine Transformations Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit will naturally grant his flesh an unprecedented enhancement.

Rattle—

With a stir of his heart and mind, Li Che felt he could easily enter the vast Dao Tree space, without any effort.

It seemed as if the Nine Transformations of the Dao Fruit had erased the last bit of power needed to enter or exit the Dao Tree space.

However, Li Che chose not to enter the Dao Tree space, as the current situation was not suitable for him to do so.

After all, he was still on the battlefield at this moment.

On the battlefield, with myriad changes, Li Che was unsure whether a hidden move from the Three Worlds Tathagata might appear.

Besides that, Li Che was also on guard.

He was wary of the Master of the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, unsure whether the master would emerge from hiding because Li Che had completed the Nine Transformations of that Dao Fruit.

That Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, at Li Che's current height, could gradually sense his presence and also understood the threat being conveyed.

Therefore, Li Che gave up entering the Dao Tree space, maintaining perfect harmony between his will and his physical body.

Of course, Li Che's flesh is still undergoing the baptism of the Dao Fruit's transformation.

The Dao Fruit has just transformed and is still in a state of fluctuation; his flesh has not yet completed the final elevation and transformation.

But before him already appeared the Floating Light Leaping Golden List, flashing with radiance.

{Eight Nine Mystic Technique: Grand Luo Immortal Body (Perfected)}

Before him, a prompt appeared: the flesh forged by the Eight Nine Mystic Technique, once the Life-and-Death Immortal Body, had undergone another transformation.

It directly transformed into a Grand Luo Immortal Body.

And Li Che could feel how terrifying the essence of qi and blood became after the transformation, as it was being compressed bit by bit to the extreme, merging into every drop of blood.

"Exhale—"

"Inhale—"

With each exhale and inhale, between Li Che's mouth and nose it seemed like a storm, as if even the void were collapsing and twisting.

The energy contained in his qi and blood was too mighty and powerful for space to bear.

His black hair fell over his back, now billowing like a fierce wind.

Li Che finished the transformation, allowing the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit to burst forth its essence, reshaping his flesh's transformation.

"It's completely different now."

Li Che could feel his body, as if completely breaking free from bonds, becoming utterly unconstrained.

It was as if the energy origin within his body had transformed into the core of a star; each vibration would push out an extremely terrifying power.

You……

The Third Prince widened their eyes and couldn't help but look over.

The Future Tathagata was slain by Li Che—what exactly happened?

However, it is absolutely a good aspect.

Because, even the present Li Che could bring a sense of threat to the Third Prince; that is indeed real, a power capable of threatening an Imperial Heavenly Immortal.

Li Che smiled, clenched his five fingers into a fist; in that instant, space seemed to tremble on the verge of tearing open!

His gaze rose, looking toward the Dingguang Buddha who was clashing with Qi Tian.

The Dingguang Buddha was very powerful; the sundial hovered, the two golden wheels turned, completely holding back Qi Tian, and even though Qi Tian had exhausted all their means so far, they could not blast the Dingguang Buddha's monk's robe.

And at this moment, the instant Li Che looked over, the Dingguang Buddha's heart suddenly began to pound.

Amitabha……

Li benefactor…… you……

The Dingguang Buddha furrowed their brows, their eyes full of solemnity.

The Future Tathagata was ultimately slain; could it be that because the Future Tathagata was slain, it caused Li Che to undergo some transformation?

The Dingguang Buddha guessed that there seemed to be some special bond between the Three Worlds Tathagata and Li Che.

And between him and Li Che, there also seemed to be some bond.

Now, this bond is exerting force; Li Che slew the Future Tathagata, actually devouring the opponent outright.

So, the present Tathagata meets the same fate; there remains one past Tathagata currently in Taisu Heaven, besieged by Emperor Hong and the Taiyi Immortal, and they too meet the same fate!

This bond is truly terrifying!

The Dingguang Buddha shuddered all over, feeling an urge to retreat, not wanting to continue entangling and fighting with a monster like Li Che.

Qi Tian could still rely on the Sundial Divine Weapon to bluff a bit.

But Li Che, this person, seems to understand him very well; the sense of shock he brings, like an electric current spreading through his body, as an Imperial-level intuition tells him, not to retreat…… he might also die!

Indeed, at this moment, Li Che raised his pupils, eyes shining like brilliant sun and moon light, staring at the Dingguang Buddha; that intense killing intent and desire made the Dingguang Buddha's hairs stand on end.

Li Che is indeed stimulated now; in his heart, the thought of slaying the Dingguang Buddha, who seems to be the master of the Time-Space Golden Wheel Dao Fruit, has arisen with great intensity!

If the Dingguang Buddha is slain, could the Time-Space Golden Wheel Dao Fruit impact the Nine Transformations?

The possibility…… should not be small!

Just as Li Che slew the two incarnations of the Three Worlds Tathagata, it almost pushed the Pure Heart Dao Fruit to the Nine Transformations.

The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, however, is an exception; slaying enemies can enhance it.

This effect, in Li Che's perception, is actually more terrifying and powerful than other Dao Fruits.

Why is this different effect produced?

A terrifying thought arose in Li Che's heart, namely……

The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, perhaps had already completed the Nine Transformations; the one within that Dao Fruit had already reached this height.

So, Li Che could, without slaying the Dao Fruit, push the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit to the Nine Transformations?

Of course, this is merely Li Che's speculation; as for exactly how it is, Li Che also does not know.

Li Che guessed that the previous Dao Fruit Master had certainly pushed the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit to the Nine Transformations, which is why the present transformation occurred.

"Who would be the master of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit? If they had completed the Dao Fruit's Nine Transformations, why would there be a rebirth of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit?"

Li Che furrowed his brows.

This shows that even if the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit had completed the Nine Transformations, it also experienced a desperate and helpless failure.

Thus, Dao Fruits will be reborn upon the Dao Tree by means of bonds.

By binding the bond together with his daughter and Li Che.

But Li Che does not think about what problems the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit actually has, and Li Che also does not care.

As long as it can make him stronger and let him stand at the peak, that is enough.

Stay!

Li Che stood up, his body moved, the terrifying four apertures of profound mystical martial arts, amplified a hundredfold, surged forth, erupting with terrifying propulsive force.

The void seemed to be shattered.

Li Che burst forth with extreme speed, charging toward the Dingguang Buddha who wanted to retreat!

The Dingguang Buddha's hairs stood on end, the sundial turned, the spacetime golden wheel rotated!

The power of spacetime spread like ripples, attempting to shield against Li Che.

However, Li Che clenched his fist and thrust a punch forward, without using any mystical martial secret technique—just a simple punch—yet it felt like the ultimate simplicity of the Dao, all fused into that punch.

The void instantly collapsed and exploded, the power of spacetime striking Li Che's fist aura, like bursting water waves!

The Dingguang Buddha's eyes narrowed.

He slammed his palms outward, his body standing firm amidst the endless rolling spacetime waves, his monk's robes fluttering, his kasaya flying!

Boom——!!!

That sundial wheel came sweeping forward, colliding with Li Che's punch, instantly bursting into spreading ripples.

On the sundial, the golden wheel representing time and space seemed twisted.

Such terrifying power caused the Dingguang Buddha's expression to shift dramatically!

He's gotten stronger, actually become this much stronger?!

Is this a martial immortal? Could this Li Che... be a reincarnation of the Martial Ancestor?!

A crack appeared on the sundial, countless origins gushed out, spacetime instantly layered, ninety-nine folds.

The Dingguang Buddha's body became blurred, and finally vanished completely.

This escape method can only be executed by driving the Time-Space Golden Wheel to its extreme.

Hiss—

Even the void seemed to twist, as if scorched by a searing force.

Li Che merely threw a punch, and it already possessed this level of terrifying threat, forcing even a powerhouse like Fixed Light Buddha to retreat.

Qitian wore the Hell Qitian Armor, his eyes widening as he felt a hint of disbelief.

How could an opponent that he could not even touch with all his strength become so easy to hit in Li Che's hands?

Li Che offered no explanation; as for why he could see through Fixed Light Buddha's methods, it was mainly due to the Time-Space Golden Wheel Dao Fruit.

Precisely because of this, Li Che could force Fixed Light Buddha to reveal all his trump cards with a single punch.

Rumble—

The entire Profound Heavens trembled.

Li Che's qi and blood pierced heaven and earth; even now, it remained this way.

Heavenly phenomena stretched across the sky, and the colors of heaven and earth shifted.

Li Che stepped into the void, his whole self unbound, not only because he was the Heaven-Opening Lord of the Profound Heavens, but also because his martial prowess had utterly shattered all constraints.

Now, relying solely on martial arts, though he was a Profound Immortal, thanks to his Dao Fruit he could rival an Imperial Eternal Heaven.

Qitian and the Third Prince approached side by side, both gazing at Li Che with strangeness.

"Good kid, you've gotten stronger again?"

"As Xixi would say, you've gotten sturdier." The Third Prince, shouldering his Fire-tip Spear, chuckled.

Li Che stretched lazily, his Grand Luo Immortal Body erupting with a terrifying surge of qi and blood, like a deep-sea whale slapping its tail on the ocean surface, raising a tremendous momentum.

"Not sturdy enough..."

Li Che said.

Now he is merely equivalent to a single Imperial Eternal Heaven.

Not enough!

"Continue."

Li Che said.

In the next instant, he took a step, his whole self vanishing from the spot, only to reappear directly before an Eternal Heaven of the Profound Heavens.

It was none other than the Purple Astra Daoist.

At this moment, the Purple Astra Daoist looked at Li Che with a face full of bitterness.

An existence that had slain two Tathagata Mundane Forms was hardly something the Purple Astra Daoist could contend with.

How bitter his fate as the Purple Astra Daoist!

"Earth Store King... spare my life."

The Purple Astra Daoist drew a deep breath, his face bitter, yet he could not help but speak.

"We could be considered old acquaintances; why not give me a way out?"

The Purple Astra Daoist said.

"Old acquaintances?"

His words caused Li Che's eyebrows to twitch slightly, his gaze sweeping over, and his heart stirred faintly.

"You are... the patriarch of the mortal Purple Mansion Divine Sect?"

"Zhang Wujie is precisely my reincarnation."

The Purple Astra Daoist spoke bitterly.

Li Che laughed, "Zhang Wujie... indeed counts as an old acquaintance, but between him and the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, there isn't much affection."

Back then, the Purple Mansion Divine Sect also sought to eliminate the Prison Lotus Maiden.

"That's quite a coincidence."

Li Che said.

He calmly regarded the Purple Astra Daoist.

Qitian and the Third Prince had already blocked his retreat; this Eternal Heaven of the Dark Heavenly Court was instantly sealed off by three Imperial-level beings, ensuring his death.

He was not Fixed Light Buddha, yet he could rely on the Imperial Sundial Eternal Artifact to fiercely escape from Li Che's grasp.

"I am willing to defect to the Prison Lotus Faction; I wonder if the Earth Store King would grant me this opportunity..."

The Purple Astra Daoist said.

Since Zhang Wujie is his reincarnation, he thus came to understand Li Che ever more deeply.

He knew what the consequences of defying Li Che would be.

Naturally, it meant being killed, and death... was a new beginning.

But the Purple Astra Daoist did not wish to be killed.

He raised his hand, touching his brow; his very origin was drawn out, as if bound by cursed power, and delivered before Li Che.

This was his attitude.

Should he betray after grasping this thread of origin power, the Purple Astra Daoist would be directly incinerated by that origin and struck down by the will of heaven and earth.

"Good."

Li Che was not polite either, accepting this strand of origin from the Purple Astra Daoist.

The Purple Astra Daoist's defection to the Prison Lotus Faction undoubtedly strengthened its power by a notch.

Another Eternal Heaven gained!

Cause for celebration!

Li Che's gaze burned bright; without lingering in the Profound Heavens, he set off directly.

Bringing Qitian, the Third Prince, and Ziwei Daoren, they entered the spatial transmission channel together.

Hum—

In the Great Primordial Heaven spatial transmission channel, only the Past Tathagata remains of the Three Worlds Tathagata.

Being suppressed by Di Hong and the Taiyi Immortal.

Li Che now plans to go over and take over, completing the suppression and slaying of the last corporeal form of the Three Worlds Tathagata.

See if the Pure Heart Dao Fruit can successfully achieve the Nine Transformations.

Also want to see how the Nine Transformations of the Pure Heart Dao Fruit differ from those of the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.

However, before that, Li Che still had a different idea in mind.

He did not immediately go to the spatial transmission channel of Great Primordial Heaven.

Instead, he directly descended to Great Void Heaven.

Mysterious Sky Heaven, Great Primordial Heaven, and Great Void Heaven—the three great heavens—are the domains controlled by the Dark Heavenly Court.

After Li Che refined all the divine weapons in the Jade Emperor Heavenly Guiyi Miao, he gained this qualification.

Qitian and the Third Prince directly went to the Great Primordial Heaven spatial transmission channel, joining forces with the two Imperial-level Heavenly Immortals, Di Hong and Taiyi, to suppress the Past Tathagata.

Waiting for Li Che to arrive and finish the final harvest.

Four Imperial-level Heavenly Immortals suppressing a Tathagata that had lost two corporeal forms is naturally not a problem.

Upon descending to Great Void Heaven, Li Che's Martial Immortal Will surged skyward; he stepped forward with hands behind his back, facing the Will of Heaven and Earth of Great Void Heaven.

Boom—

Arms spread wide!

Terrifying qi and blood erupted explosively from his body!

The Heavenly Immortal stationed in Great Void Heaven and several Earthly Immortals shot forth with angry eyes.

"Reckless!"

However.

Li Che merely glanced over indifferently.

He tapped with a finger.

The Martial Immortal Six Swords—Mysterious Pupil, Listening Ear, Ah Nose, and others—whistled forth.

Even the leading Heavenly Immortal was instantly wounded by the sword formation, spitting blood and falling to the ground of Great Void Heaven.

As for the Earthly Immortals, they were instantly slain, blood spraying everywhere.

Li Che did not give this Heavenly Immortal an opportunity like Ziwei Daoren did.

He clenched a fist, terrifying fist light piercing the void.

Dragon and elephant shadows crossed the void, instantly smashing down and suppressing and slaying that Heavenly Immortal.

The shattered flesh and blood were collected for later use in summoning spirits.

Behind Li Che, the four Immortal Martial Mystic Apertures burst open.

His hand like a blade, he chopped toward the firmament.

With a single hand, he opened the heavens again!

He wants to see whether the Mysterious Immortal filling the heavens, the Martial Dao entering Heavenly Immortality, plus the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Nine Transformations Dao Fruit!

Can it rival a Sovereign!
