Chapter 168: The Ascension of Divine Might

Divine Power!

Radiant Rise!

Li Che’s entire body trembled uncontrollably as his muscles and bones emitted a cacophony of cracking sounds, as if his inner skeleton were grinding fiercely in the midst of a complete transformation!

Yet his eyes shone with unprecedented brilliance as he fixed his gaze on the message that appeared before him.

Dragon Elephant Vajra: Radiant Rise!

Li Che’s ragged breathing accompanied giant beads of sweat sliding from his forehead; with a sharp crack, they struck the ground, bursting into fragments!

The prompt before him shifted once again.

【Radiant Rise (Divine Skill): Tower Ascension Radiant Rise, Flesh Ascension, Earth-Shattering Celestial Might, Finger-Snap Starburst】

【Tier One: Vital Radiance】

【Transforming Qi and Blood: Self-Arisen Radiance, Celestial Flight, Divine Revelation, Omnipotence】

【Tier Two: ???】

The new divine power prompt unfurled slowly from deep within him, blooming like ink stains spreading across paper.

Li Che’s gaze hardened.

Just as with the divine power granted by Xiangong, it was divided into Tier One and Tier Two—mainly because his strength was too feeble to unlock the latter, or rather, his Dao Fruit hadn’t matured enough!

“Vital Radiance…”

“What is it?”

A question formed in Li Che’s mind.

But there was no time to ponder further.

The second transformation of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit shattered Li Che’s flesh and blood, delivering a complete metamorphosis.

It was like scalding volcanic magma, cascading down and crashing against his blazing, rock-like bones.

As if searing flames were melting his internal organs—igniting his heart and burning his intestines—with heat and pain spreading throughout his body.

Every part of him ached; every inch burned!

Li Che felt as though he were laid out on a colossal furnace, his body serving as the raw material for forging a masterpiece sword.

The flames burned so fiercely they threatened to reduce him to charred remains!

Pushing his body to the brink, they tested the limits of his physical essence and endurance!

Dudududu——

Inside the Bizarre Temple, surging waves of energy and a milky haze of heat burst from every pore, like steam forcefully unleashed from a pressure cooker.

Li Che’s skin glowed red, as if infused with radiant crimson light that illuminated the darkness.

Tense and focused, Li Che’s spirit strained as the inner vision of his Mud Pellet erupted in tumult, mirroring his physical transformation.

The metamorphosis of body and spirit were intertwined, each reinforcing the other.

Star Plucking Gaze!

The divine power revealed itself!

From his brow, it burst forth—his flesh seeming to part as an eye slowly opened, unleashing boundless divine light from its pupil!

Boom, boom, boom!

Shockwaves radiated from Li Che’s body, rippling outward in concentric circles!

They slammed into the temple walls with such force that the entire Bizarre Temple trembled!

Li Che felt surges of scorching, fervid heat intermingled with a terrifying power that burned through his sinews and flexed his bones, coursing through his body along a meridian path at breakneck speed!

The speed was unimaginable!

His skin seemed to radiate extreme heat; he felt it burning, stiffening, peeling, and shattering…

Raising his head, Li Che roared, sprang to his feet, and clenched his fist, commencing his martial display within the temple!

Roar—!

Howl—!

The sounds of a roaring dragon and distressed elephant echoed, vibrating the air.

Blood mist erupted from every pore as his vital energy exploded, coalescing into shapes reminiscent of dragons and elephants that loomed about him.

Li Che unleashed his martial prowess, practicing his self-created technique: Myriad Transformations of Dragon Elephant!

Within Myriad Transformations of Dragon Elephant were fused many formidable techniques: Canglei Body, Eight Dragons Overturning the River, Nine Seals of Mechanism, Crimson Flame God Arrow, and the unified Thousand-Hand Divine Eagle…

Not to mention the Martial Saint Technique: Hun Yuan Qi Tian Gun!

As he ceaselessly demonstrated his martial arts, his punches blended various techniques—a seamless integration of disparate styles!

All manifested the profound essence of his combat style!

At that moment, Li Che sweated profusely, his blood spattering, while his internal energy roiled, forming a thick aura of radiant qi and blood around him!

It was an epiphany that struck him like a tidal wave—a revelatory enlightenment deep within his soul!

Lucid, clear, and awakened!

In that instant, Li Che felt his understanding of these profound techniques soaring rapidly!

Enlightenment!

A moment of sudden insight!

The second Dao Fruit transformation and the ascension of his divine power plunged Li Che into a state of martial enlightenment!

Every technique became vividly clear in his mind.

He mastered them at an astonishing pace!

Even the enigmatic Martial Saint Technique, Hun Yuan Qi Tian Gun, once baffling, now flowed effortlessly to his rhythm!

Such efficiency…

It was ten, even a hundred times better than before!

Li Che trembled all over, his heart alight with exhilaration—even as his sinews and bones endured excruciating, otherworldly pain and transformation.

Yet the reward in that moment was immense!

Clenching his fist as if he could shatter the very air, Li Che’s internal energy surged like rolling thunder!

His true qi and might fused together, coursing through his organs, refining his heart and fortifying his innards!

The force radiated from his spine like an immense net, permeating his entire body!

Under rapid tremors, his muscles seemed to be forged over and over at an extraordinary frequency, transforming like a battle-hardened masterpiece!

Li Che’s spirit soared with unparalleled fervor!

His energy surged, stimulated by his Star Plucking Gaze, enabling him to sense every detail within his body!

A current of qi raced through him, which he harnessed and stifled within his dantian!

That was the qi of martial arts!

In this transformative moment, it was a crucial surge of energy.

Despite the agony and fatigue, this qi was the very essence of his metamorphosis!

If he released it, the transformation would end abruptly—even if his body broke through, the refined essence would vanish with it.

What would follow was a severe depletion of his essence, energy, and spirit!

Instead, an opportunity could turn into a catastrophic cultivation mistake!

His organs were being refined—so were his bones, meridians, and skin!

Visible to the naked eye, his muscles and skin vibrated hundreds of times per second!

He almost projected blurry afterimages as his entire body trembled!

A dense mist of blood and qi surged forth, growing ever thicker, with a concentrated stream settling in his dantian!

Punching!

Keep punching!

Hun Yuan Qi Tian Gun!

Li Che clenched his fist; the Liuxue Stun Spear reappeared in his grasp and swept through the air with a terrifying, explosive force that made the atmosphere crackle!

A force like an avalanche, obliterating everything in its path!

The sound of surging blood resembled the roaring waves of the Jiulong River in a violent storm!

Countless spear silhouettes crowded the interior of the Bizarre Temple.

Bang—!

Suddenly.

After a brief pause, even the Liuxue Stun Spear in his hands seemed to emit an anguished cry, strained under its burden!

That spear… after all, it was merely one of the Nine Luminary Divine Weapons—and now it lagged behind Li Che’s might and pace.

It simply couldn’t withstand the force of the Martial Saint Technique: Hun Yuan Qi Tian Gun!

The spearhead dropped heavily.

It plummeted into the air, making the surrounding atmosphere seem to sink deeply.

A ripple-like vortex of qi formed as heat burst from millions of pores, blasting out of the Bizarre Temple!

Sweeping wildly in all directions!

The dense fog within the Bizarre Temple was instantly stirred up!

Within the Bizarre Temple, the silhouettes of the Temple Protection Incantation figures teemed restlessly!

……

……

In the deep, silent night at the Fiery-Eyed Spirit Monkey Bizarre Temple,

an indescribable silence prevailed.

In the camp, flickering lights could be seen.

Qi Yanghao, the chief envoy who had been quietly reviewing documents, suddenly changed his expression!

Grabbing the dagger from the desk, he dashed out of camp and appeared beyond the swirling, foggy barricade of the Bizarre Temple.

Several divine envoys stationed at the Bizarre Temple sensed the disturbance and rushed over.

They stood outside the Bizarre Temple.

Watching the relentless turmoil—like waves battering from within—the Bizarre Temple suddenly brimmed with a powerful, scorching aura.

Their faces betrayed their alarm.

“Chief… could this be… another uprising?”

Is the Bizarre Temple… on the verge of another rebellion?

The last time, the woodcarvers from the Imperial Watch came to view the Temple Spirit and an uprising broke out—though it turned out to be false.

But it had left them all on edge.

This time…

Is it about to happen again?

Qi Yanghao’s face grew extremely solemn.

“I’m not entirely sure what’s happening within the Bizarre Temple… But judging by the scene, something significant is unfolding inside the Bizarre Temple!”

“In any case, get ready for battle!”

“I sense that within the Bizarre Temple, the temple protection incantation figures have been agitated by monstrous entities tainted with the Temple Spirit’s divinity…”

“Stay alert!”

“If the Bizarre Temple erupts and the guardians break out…”

“You must immediately return to the Capital to inform the Commander and request his presence!”

Qi Yanghao drew his sharp dagger, his expression grave.

The other envoys said nothing further.

They had witnessed many upsurges in the Bizarre Temple; they were no naive youths.

Yet none foresaw that this uprising would…

claim the lives of several divine envoys.

Qi Yanghao, accompanied by his envoys and armed with daggers, stood guard outside the barricade.

However…

Slowly, the roiling Bizarre Temple fell into instant calm.

Inside, the temple incantation figures and monstrous beings sank into a death-like silence, as if cowed by a terrifying presence.

Qi Yanghao’s taut nerves gradually relaxed.

“Another… false uprising?”

His lips twitched.

No…

Are the Temple Spirits always this mischievous?

Always playing tricks—it’s excruciating, isn’t it?!

……

……

Inside the Bizarre Temple.

Eerily quiet, save for the measured sounds of breathing.

A dense mist of blood and qi enveloped every corner, transforming it into a crimson temple.

Sitting at the center, Li Che slowly opened his eyes; in the blood-misted temple, it was as if lightning had flashed by!

Thump, thump, thump—

His heart revived, pounding violently as blood burst forth and surged into every limb!

Everything stirred to life as his transformed body fully awakened!

Blood roared, bones clashed, and his innards churned…

Every organ seemed reborn, undergoing complete metamorphosis!

Li Che raised his hand and clenched it—instantly, countless mists of blood converged into a blood orb encasing him.

Then, as his fingers spread, the blood mist exploded!

Transforming into a steaming, boiling Radiant Aura!

Vital Radiance!

Li Che’s spirit stirred, as though forging a mysterious bond with the Vital Radiance.

The Radiant Aura enveloped him in a three-zhang radius—small in scale yet as if granting him countless eyes to see all within its bounds.

He could even manipulate it, molding it into various forms.

Compressing, boiling, shredding, kneading…

It became as if a new organ formed from his Vital Radiance!

That sensation felt like having an extra hand.

At his mere thought, the swirling Vital Radiance was instantly drawn back into his pores.

Scaling, concealing, and erupting at will!

This feeling was truly unique.

Divine power… truly, a divine power indeed!

A transformation of spirit.

The Vital Radiance spread like a thin cloak, its hues shifting with his mood and refracting light into myriad colors.

Transcendent Qi and Blood: Self-Arisen Radiance, Celestial Flight, Divine Revelation, Omnipotence!

Li Che recalled the description of Vital Radiance!

As his strength grew, the Vital Radiance intensified alongside him!

Most importantly…

Celestial Flight and Divine Revelation?

Li Che stood as a fearsome surge of energy erupted from within him.

He snapped his fingers.

Instantly, the Vital Radiance burst forth, wrapping him in a scarlet aura that gathered beneath his feet to form a blood cloud!

The blood cloud gradually lifted his body, making him levitate slowly!

“Is this… a Somersault Cloud?”

His expression turned strange.

Of course, a blood-colored cloud hardly matched the traditional image.

At his will, the Vital Radiance hoisted him and propelled him through the Bizarre Temple!

Slowly, as if learning, the Vital Radiance grew increasingly agile…

It moved nimbly—up, down, left, right—without him needing to exert a fraction of effort!

Even a high-dive from a pedestal, and the blood cloud caught him flawlessly!

Incredibly agile!

Flight felt light as a feather!

Effortless and free, like a fish leaping through the sea!

Inside the Bizarre Temple, candle flames flickered incessantly.

Atop the altar, the Spirit Monkey Temple Spirit statue glimmered, watching as blood clouds roiled beneath—making the entire temple seem to tremble.

Li Che landed; the Vital Radiance transformed into a cloak of black that enveloped him.

Exhaling deeply, a faint smile played on his lips.

With a firm grip, he drew forth five waves of qi that rippled through the air!

His tendons quivered and bones cracked explosively!

Dragon-like sinews and elephantine bones!

Vital Radiance!

The second transformation of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit!

It brought about tremendous changes in Li Che!

He grew stronger!

Completely empowered!

He could feel his body transforming, his innate talents reforged, as his physical strength soared!

“Now, my mastery of blood and qi in martial arts has reached the post-Master realm; my organs have all undergone thorough qi refining!”

“Now I can use the true essence of my Master techniques to refine my organs… and when that essence permeates me, I will attain complete Mastery.”

“Once I fully grasp the martial will and give rise to Divine Might, I will have truly entered the realm of Grand Mastery!”

Li Che’s eyes sparkled.

“My Myriad Transformations of Dragon Elephant, fused with the Martial Saint Technique: Hun Yuan Qi Tian Gun, is a formidable martial art. If I refine its true essence within my organs, the resulting Dragon Elephant Divine Might will be even stronger!”

A Grand Master’s Divine Might vastly differs from the Silver Might of the Cursed Silver Corpse.

When divinity and will unite and qi forms into streams, that is Divine Might!

Divine Might is not simply a force—it’s a realm!

In terms of strength, a Grand Master’s Divine Might is far more potent.

Moreover, its potency is tied to one’s martial will and the techniques nurtured at the Master level!

Martial Saint techniques are rare and arduous; to reach perfection and step into Grand Mastery is even more challenging!

Li Che couldn’t believe that Xue Dufu had attained Grand Mastery solely through Martial Saint techniques.

If that were truly the case…

The Feilei Chess Piece was already set.

So then…

Li Che’s eyes gleamed—is he now strong enough to stand against a Grand Master?!

Let’s find out!

Li Che rose, his muscles and bones resonating with a powerful tremor!

Twisting his neck, every sinew and fiber quivered with an explosive, terrifying force!

“Xue Dufu…”

Li Che closed his eyes.

Images of the past flooded his mind.

Atop Golden Light Peak.

That Grand Master Xue Dufu had repeatedly roared at XiXi…

This feud!

It was heart-wrenching agony!

Li Che suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce murderous intent surging within him.

Thud—Boom!

His flesh swelled abruptly.

Li Che wrapped his black robe around himself and donned his bamboo hat.

He didn’t activate the Qian Kun Jade of his two Sevenfold Corpse God Envoys—he was too impatient to wait for a battle with Xue Dufu!

His daughter had been wronged…

Daddy’s coming for a fight!

With a press of his bamboo hat,

Li Che clenched his fist; the Feilei Chess Piece flashed instantly and vanished within the Bizarre Temple.

The Bizarre Temple finally fell silent.

The thick, searing blood mist eventually dispersed completely.

Atop the altar.

The Spirit Monkey Temple Spirit statue trembled slightly.

It was as if it had exhaled a long sigh.

That bastard, finally got the hell out!

……

……

Jingguang City.

Luohua Alley, Private Workshop Courtyard.

Li Che appeared in the courtyard, clad in black and wearing his bamboo hat.

“Xue Dufu, the one-armed Grand Master of Divine Might at Tier One—his divine cultivation is unfathomably powerful… but should not be underestimated.”

Li Che remained as cautious as ever.

Carelessness can lead to bitter consequences.

Steadiness is one of the principles for survival in this world.

He pondered for a moment in the courtyard.

Li Che snapped his fingers.

Instantly, within the room, the seven incarnations of the Painted Immortal—his divine clones refining their divinity—exploded forth!

All his emotional divinity returned to the inner vision of his Mud Pellet.

The Seven-Whorl Divine Foundation trembled one after another, then grew substantially!

Fed by one divine crystal after another from Li Che…

The Seven-Whorl Divine Foundation had all reached the post-Divine Foundation realm!

The divine essence within Li Che suddenly surged, swirling through the room like a storm.

At that moment, the potency of his post-Divine Foundation rivaled even that of a Divine Vision cultivator!

After configuring his mechanisms,

Li Che’s divine essence merged with his qi and blood, transforming into Divine Ink that splattered on the Unsullied Heart canvas.

Then, Ma Mian stepped out slowly from the painting.

Ma Mian nodded.

Lifting the Xiangong Barrett, he leapt forth and vanished into the darkness in search of a vantage for a sniper strike.

Everything was set.

Li Che smiled.

He took out the Divine Monkey Mask and slowly placed it over his face.

He closed his eyes and then opened them again…

Beneath the mask!

His eyes now burned with golden flames!

The Liuxue Stun Spear—one of the Nine Luminary Divine Weapons—was seized and slung over his shoulder.

Under the mask, a slight smile curved his lips.

With a light tap of his toe, he sprang into action with nimble steps on the spot.

Vital Radiance!

His toe landed…

In an instant.

Bang—!

It was as if countless electromagnetic nets of blood suddenly burst around Li Che, forming a scarlet field within a three-zhang radius.

That field compressed beneath his feet, coalescing into a blood cloud.

Lifting his form,

it transformed into a streak of light, surging skyward!

It seemed capable of soaring ten thousand feet into the heavens!

Deities, behold me!

……

……

City Lord’s Residence.

It was enveloped in deep, profound silence.

The room of Little Prince Ji Haihui was equally silent, with occasional ripples of divine energy—he was undoubtedly cultivating his divine power.

Xue Dufu, the one-armed man wielding a hatchet, with a mysterious gaze,

sat on a long corridor chair, clearly satisfied.

Although Little Prince had lost face at the mountain shrine, he quickly readjusted his mindset and returned to his training.

This naturally pleased Xue Dufu.

Failure itself is not frightening; what is truly terrifying is falling into an abyss from which you can’t escape—that is despair.

But if you manage to climb out, failure… will only make you stronger!

City Lord Su Huai Li sat in the Pavilion, sipping tea and playing chess.

Even though Little Prince had lost face at the shrine, Su Huai Li wasn’t foolish enough to lead the City Lord’s Residence in an attack on Golden Light Peak.

Though Su Huai Li wished to slay Nan Lihuo, the Sect Leader of the Divine Sect, he knew killing him would have enormous repercussions; the Divine Sect might even cancel the Temple Spirit Resonance conference at the Third Prince’s Bizarre Temple.

And that would delay Little Prince’s grand plans.

So Su Huai Li waited.

Nan Lihuo was well aware; both shared an unspoken understanding.

Meanwhile, Nan Lihuo seized every chance to grow stronger, aiming to get even with Su Huai Li.

But Su Huai Li wasn’t worried—his formidable strength allowed him to counter any of Nan Lihuo’s schemes with ease.

Suddenly,

Su Huai Li, who had just placed a white piece on the sandalwood chessboard, narrowed his eyes.

A streak of light whizzed past the side of his cheek in an instant.

The gust even whipped his jet-black hair into a wild dance.

It was a…

Dragon Tooth Bodhi Bullet!

In Su Huai Li’s eyes, the rapidly spinning mechanical bullet appeared almost frozen, its patterns suspended in time.

This bullet…

Whoosh—!

It tore through the air at incredible speed, passing right by Su Huai Li.

Its target…

was not him!

But rather…

“Little Prince!”

Su Huai Li frowned.

In that instant as he sensed the Dragon Tooth Bodhi Bullet,

Xue Dufu had already appeared ahead of it, his one arm raised with fingers curled like hooks,

grasping the bullet firmly in his hand.

The rapidly spinning Dragon Tooth Bodhi slowly came to a halt.

After its explosion, it was entirely subdued by Xue Dufu’s powerful qi and blood!

“Ridiculous,” Xue Dufu said softly.

As his grip released, the bullet shattered into sand-like fragments and fell to the ground.

He looked upward, his hair whipping about, his aged face brimming with lethal intent!

“Dragon Tooth Bodhi… not an assassin from Lie Shen Pavilion, but Ma Mian of the Underworld!”

City Lord Su Huai Li said in a deep voice.

He then stood in the courtyard, placing himself before the Little Prince’s residence.

Meanwhile, six Black Armor soldiers under King Ping Luan and Ji Mo Li moved even faster,

having already drawn their Zhanma Dao, their armor clanging as they solemnly guarded the gate.

A glimmer of something unusual flashed in Su Huai Li’s eyes.

Truly, the elite of his teacher’s contingent—the Blood Guards of the Black Armor Four Guards—were formidable!

Compared to them, the Divine Guard Army’s elite paled in comparison.

It was hard to imagine the magnificent, peerless scene when the Black Armor Four Guards operated in unison!

One wonders if, in his lifetime, Su Huai Li might command the Black Armor First Guard.

“What riffraff dare to attempt an assassination on Little Prince!”

Xue Dufu bellowed, his voice thundering like rolling lightning—as if a tempest erupted behind the clouds!

Countless snowflakes once drifting were shattered into dust by the sheer force of his voice!

He tapped his toe.

Soaring tens of meters into the sky, his brilliant eyes scanned the scene.

His gaze was as sharp as a knife.

Following the trajectory of the Dragon Tooth Bodhi, he searched in that direction!

Across thousands of feet, he spotted Ma Mian, who had retracted his Xiangong Barrett and turned to flee with agile jumps.

“You maggot,” he sneered.

Seeing his strike miss, Ma Mian immediately turned to flee.

Disdain and coldness flashed in Xue Dufu’s eyes.

Suspended in midair, he stood with one arm folded and one sleeve billowing in the wind.

With a forceful stomp,

the air rippled like a mirror-like lake, creating undulating waves!

Behind him, a powerful wave of qi erupted like a white surge cutting through the dark night.

It tore through the darkness, stretching across thousands of feet!

Like the speed of wind and lightning!

As if thunderbolts were tearing through the earth!

Deep, roaring sounds—like a surging river—emanated from him as countless streams of qi shattered and exploded!

Xue Dufu’s murderous intent was relentless and fierce!

Unapologetically so!

Today, the fury atop Golden Light Peak seemed ready to be unleashed, with that audacious rat who dared to ambush Little Prince as its target!

Underworld Ma Mian?

Xue Dufu had heard of him, but paid no heed.

Just a lowly, lewd assassin—revealing only hints of his true self—even with bizarre long-range strikes.

But so what?

In the presence of a Grand Master, he was nothing more than a writhing, struggling maggot!

The Dragon Tooth Bodhi’s power was undeniably formidable, its piercing force even making the Grand Master’s hand ache with a dull sting.

But… that was all.

Not even his hand could tear through it!

And you still think you can assassinate?

A thousand-foot distance meant nothing for Xue Dufu at full display.

Moreover, on Little Prince’s side, though there were only six Black Armor Blood Guards, each possessed Divine Vision at the post-Master level—the elite of their order!

Together, the six could withstand even a brief onslaught from a Grand Master!

Furthermore…

Being the beloved junior disciple of the Prince, his protective foundation was far from ordinary!

On the journey, they had even endured assassination attempts by the top killers of the Hunter God Pavilion!

Compared to such lethal methods, Ma Mian was nothing—a small fry before a giant.

Ma Mian’s cultivation was weak; he hadn’t gone far.

Xue Dufu barreled in with wild ferocity, his boiling qi and blood lifting the very air by several degrees!

“Bring your life forth!”

Xue Dufu shouted coldly.

The overwhelming martial will of a Grand Master crashed down like a landslide!

It was akin to the peerless oppressive force found in the realm of divinity!

Though a Grand Master’s martial will was slightly less absolute than sheer level oppression,

a steadfast spirit could still counter it.

Ma Mian’s body faltered for a moment before he fled wildly under Xue Dufu’s martial will.

In an instant, Xue Dufu descended, his hand outstretched as if seizing the very currents of air and slamming them down with force!

Ma Mian’s sprint froze abruptly.

A dazzling flash of blade light erupted fiercely.

The dagger at his waist shot out.

With a resounding thwack, it cleaved Ma Mian’s head off.

However…

There was no blood spray!

Xue Dufu’s eyes narrowed.

A dense burst of black mist, reeking of dark ink, sent a fierce sense of crisis through him.

“Not good!”

Xue Dufu was alarmed!

Above, winds and thunder roared!

A terrifying, scorching surge of energy swept in with a tremendous explosion!

Xue Dufu suddenly tilted his head back.

Boom—!

Then he saw a thick, intense blood cloud, like a blood-red thunderbolt, falling from the sky at breakneck speed!

Above it, a refined figure wearing a Divine Monkey Mask, with both hands resting on a scarlet long spear over his shoulder,

beneath the mask…

someone grinned arrogantly!

Ascend the Tower!

Under his bamboo hat, his black hair suddenly shimmered as if gilded, and beneath the Divine Monkey Mask, his defiant eyes flared with explosive golden flames—like the rising sun!

Divine Monkey!

Descending from the heavens!

How dare you roar at my precious daughter?

How dare you challenge my great Emperor XiXi?!

“I damn well told you to roar!”

Boom—!!!

Vital Radiance exploded like a scarlet electromagnetic net!

It then transformed into a colossal foot, mirroring the motion of the Divine Monkey’s raised foot!

Striking down with terrifying, thunderous speed!

Thud—!!!

It slammed down with brutal force,

pinning Xue Dufu—his head, his limbs—firmly against the ground, like a wooden stake impaled into the earth!
