Chapter 424: Unprecedented Transformation

An unprecedented metamorphosis!

So far, among all of Li Che’s Dao Fruits, this is the one that reached its highest-stage transformation!

Level 7 stage!

Dragon Elephant Vajra!

Five metamorphoses!

The fifth transformation!

Li Che’s eyes snapped open as a golden radiance gathered before him, interweaving into cryptic words that pounded like the toll of a dusk drum and a dawn bell.

Boom, boom, boom, boom—

His heart pounded with divine force, as if a deity were beating war drums!

A wild wind whipped and surged, causing the dark robe on Li Che to billow wildly while streams of golden vital energy flowed over him, tinting his entire body in gold.

From within his eyes, golden smoke spiraled out, dancing wildly like peaks in a shuddering mountain top!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Li Che’s breathing noticeably deepened as tremors coursed through his body, his emotions like surging tidal waves!

Celestial Seed · Qilin Sealing Inscription – entering the preliminary stage.

This transformation would not have been possible without the power granted by his Dao Fruit’s level 7 metamorphosis. It was this energy that allowed Li Che to grasp the seemingly incomprehensible mysteries of Celestial Seed Martial Art, progressing from a novice to the preliminary stage.

It was not just a surge in power, but a profound evolution in his understanding of Celestial Seed Martial Art!

The clashing sounds echoed as his Martial Immortal Golden Body resounded; within his translucent blood, droplets of golden blood gushed like jewels, creating a terrible sound akin to a relentless torrent.

Li Che’s flesh slowly transformed under the relentless condensing force of the Dao Fruit energy bursting forth with every beat of his Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.

It was as if, after countless hammer strikes in a blazing forge, every impurity was driven out of the steel, and at the peak of pure high-temperature transformation, the very essence of the material was renewed!

“Hoo—”

“Hiss—”

Calming his mind, with each breath and exhale his body expanded, joints and muscles resonating with explosive energy.

Within every meridian, blood surged like molten silver, tinting the vessel walls with a delicate gleam of gold.

It was as if his golden transformation was beginning to extend from bone to marrow.

A stirring of his heart: the level 6 stage granted Li Che a Dao Induction titled Dragon Elephant Furnace, carving the path to a purer martial way and culminating in the formation of his Martial Immortal Golden Body!

And it was precisely this transformation that laid the foundation for him to eventually bear the metamorphosis of the Eight Mysterious Gates.

Only then could his flesh truly undergo the peerless, transmutative refinement!

It would unleash the power to obliterate even Divine Calamity Advancement!

Every metamorphosis of the Dragon Elephant Vajra had been of immense aid to Li Che.

Among all his Dao Fruits, the Dragon Elephant Vajra was the sole one that profoundly impacted his cultivation.

Whether it was Celestial Seed Martial Art, Pure Heart, or the Chess Sage, Painted Immortal, etc., their boosts were minimal; they were merely auxiliary enhancements.

Only the Dragon Elephant Vajra continuously drove Li Che’s flesh to endure, breaking through the inherent limits of martial cultivation to reach unprecedented heights!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Amidst raging winds and torrential rains in Mo City, the clamor of cascading water echoed in every corner.

Li Che steadied his mind as he stood his ground, gradually channeling out his martial techniques.

He unleashed his self-crafted Myriad Transformations of Dragon Elephant—a martial art that, now evolved into Transcendent True Martial Way, was born alongside the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.

Now, riding on the feedback from his Dao Fruit, Li Che diffused its energy through every limb as he practiced the form, determined to elevate Myriad Transformations of Dragon Elephant to even loftier heights!

Boom—

Li Che felt every inch of blood within his meridians surge as if even his capillaries were being filled, fully imbued with vital energy!

His fists flew; the gust of fist wind roared as the air exploded into the roar of a divine dragon and a rampaging elephant!

The very air seemed to warp under the might of his punch.

Myriad Transformations of Dragon Elephant encompassed fist techniques, kicks, spears, swords…

In its inception, Li Che merged multiple martial arts in a blazing forge of determination.

One technique transformed into myriad forms; the Dragon Elephant could adapt in countless ways!

Boom—!

Li Che’s focus solidified as his innate martial talent, augmented by the Dao Fruit’s assistance, soared beyond ordinary measure; in that moment he brushed against an epiphany.

His spirit surged with wild ambition.

Having witnessed the overwhelming might of Celestial Seed Martial Art, his heart raced with anticipation at the thought of elevating his self-forged Myriad Transformations of Dragon Elephant to the pinnacle of Celestial Seed level.

Evolving from Divine Seed to Celestial Seed!

Is it difficult?

Undoubtedly so, but isn’t that what makes the challenge thrilling?

Suddenly,

Li Che swept his leg like a divine dragon; the impact shattered the air with a deafening roar. In that frozen moment, he balanced on one leg like a roosting rooster.

“It’s coming.”

Between heaven and earth, the sounds of wind, rain, and rolling gravel all vanished, leaving only the thunderous beat of his Dao Fruit, like the monstrous heart of a demon and a god.

Boom—!!!

In an instant, the world fell silent—a void where even the faintest sound was erased, as if it were a mute tragedy.

Yet Li Che’s mind was tugged by a terrifying force.

Then, the cosmos seemed to rotate and shift!

An ancient, vast aura surged at him, as if primordial dragons and elephants wailed in defiance, igniting endless waves across space!

The familiar, enigmatic Dao Tree towered skyward, its immense trunk piercing through the clouds as if to breach heaven itself!

Its branches teemed with lush leaves, shimmering like sparkling fragments.

The sight of the familiar Dao Tree, even after countless encounters, continued to overwhelm him. Could such a plant truly exist in the universe?

Li Che’s gaze swept and immediately fell upon the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit hanging from the Dao Tree—now visibly larger than before.

The fruit burst forth with radiant, lingering rosy light, swaying gently.

Intrigued, Li Che wondered what new changes this metamorphosis might bring.

Last time, in its level 6 transformation, the fruit shed its skin to birth the Dao Induction—a miraculous event from which Li Che greatly benefited.

So, what about now?

He had no clue—no inkling whatsoever.

Li Che chose not to speculate but to wait for the fruit’s feedback.

Boom—!!!

In an instant,

the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit hanging from the Dao Tree erupted with an endless cascade of rosy light!

That light enveloped Li Che’s mind like a shroud in an instant.

Then…

Li Che felt the scene before him twist and warp.

He felt as if he were floating between realms, suspended in an endless void, drifting aimlessly.

The iridescent glow wrapped around him, its myriad colors circling ceaselessly.

Before his eyes, a vivid tableau began to form.

Within this vision,

a mighty river roiled and surged, its roar defying the darkness as it strove to sustain the light.

Above that river, a lone figure stood unwavering, confronting the abyss and bellowing defiantly!

Li Che’s eyes narrowed as if peering beyond the mortal realm. In that figure’s very essence, terrifying splashes of energy burst forth, with every pore, every opening, every cell seemingly alive with the form of dragons and elephants!

It was as if he were witnessing a monstrous beast in its most fearsome form!

The figure, though diminutive against the endless river, exuded an aura more dreadful than the heavens themselves.

Raging energies intertwined into crackling streaks, lashing out at the void with explosive ferocity!

What was that…

What in the world?!

Li Che’s eyes contracted in shock.

Even his formidable Martial Immortal Golden Body trembled ever so slightly—an overwhelming suppression emanating from the very core of existence!

Boom—!!!

Then,

the figure atop what resembled the heavenly river suddenly opened its eyes wide.

Blinding golden light spanned the void, an incandescent torrent that collided head-on with Li Che’s gaze.

“Who… are you?”

“A newcomer? It seems… I was already dead.”

“The nine metamorphoses of the Dao Fruit—are ultimately unattainable…”

Rumbling thunder—!!!

Those three words pressed down like the collapse of endless void!

They swept everything away like an untamed storm, obliterating and annihilating all in its path!

It was as if mortal ears were forbidden from hearing the divine sound.

In a heartbeat, Li Che’s consciousness receded from the vision, even withdrawing from the vast Dao Tree Space.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Gasping heavily, Li Che’s eyes bulged as his pupils shrank to tiny specks.

A searing, scorching force, like a red-hot inferno, threatened to dissolve every organ, every bone, every cell of his body.

At that moment, his Martial Immortal Golden Body bore a pressure akin to triggering eight divine seeds of the Eight Mysterious Gates.

Flesh, blood, orifices, meridians, bones…

Every fiber screamed in excruciating agony!

Yet Li Che’s wide eyes reflected both horror and incredulity.

“Is that person… the one who once wielded the Dragon Elephant Dao Fruit?”

“Wait—was it the one who wielded the Dragon Elephant Dao Fruit, or the one who nurtured the Dao Tree?”

A tumult of thoughts surged within Li Che. It wasn’t merely the adversary’s might that troubled him, but…

Even from a fleeting glance, he could sense the overwhelming aura of the Dao Fruit in his opponent.

That vision might have been a lingering memory from the river of time.

And his foe, perhaps, was the previous master of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit?

The Dao Fruit’s master?!

It seemed the adversary had pushed the Dragon Elephant Vajra to its utmost limits, every gesture exuding the power to shatter worlds.

Such a formidable force…

Truly, a legend beyond compare!

Yet what shocked Li Che more were the words spilling from his opponent’s lips, words that rumbled like divine scriptures:

“The nine metamorphoses of the Dao Fruit are ultimately unattainable?”

So…

Does that mean the Dao Fruit has nine transformations?!

And even such an existence could not complete them?!

So, this mighty warrior has failed, his life snuffed out?!

And now, as he slowly cultivates his Dao Fruit’s metamorphosis, is he retracing the path of that past master?

“No… That’s not right… It’s just a Dao Fruit. I possess… so much more…”

Li Che’s thoughts became a chaotic whirlwind.

The bond between Dao Fruit, Dao Tree, and his daughter harbored secrets beyond his understanding.

In Mo City…

Rain hammered like columns.

Standing amidst Mo City, Li Che’s breaths came heavy like a beast’s growl. He calmed his mind, stretched his form, and with his transformed flesh powered by the Dao Fruit energy, unleashed a fearsome strength as winds tore at him and his dark hair whipped in explosive bursts!

His back twisted like a coiling dragon, each scale clash producing a resounding clatter!

Yet none of these transformations could distract Li Che.

Before him, golden light settled like particulate smoke.

【Dao Fruit Lv7 – Five Metamorphoses, Dao Induction (Dragon Elephant Furnace) Promotion, Dao Calamity (Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame)】

Boom—!!!

It was like heavenly music reverberating across the cosmos!

Golden streams emerged before his eyes, coalescing into a luminous omen.

In that fleeting moment, a terrifying, cataclysmic energy enveloped Li Che, as if freezing his very being.

Dao Calamity?!

Li Che’s eyes narrowed in alarm!

It felt as though his brain was shattering in an instant!

The force of calamity?!

In a flash, Li Che recalled that the might of Divine Calamity Advancement stemmed from enduring three disasters and nine tribulations under heaven’s will; once overcome, one could capture that force to form the “Calamity Wheel”!

That was the wellspring of Divine Calamity Advancement’s power!

And now, with his Dao Fruit’s fifth metamorphosis, he had even brushed against the power of calamity.

Rumbling thunder—

Li Che’s flesh continued its slow transformation, as if blistering flames danced uncontrollably, scorching everything in their path!

Fine, golden blood beads oozed from him, incinerated by the horrifying heat.

【Dao Calamity (Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame): Induce Calamity, Origin of Heaven and Earth, Primeval Flame Calamity, Master the Calamity of Martial Immortals】

Accompanied by the scorching true words of Dao Calamity, the concept gradually emerged before his eyes.

Li Che felt his blood boil as every exhaled burst of searing heat seemed to warp the air and even scorch the void!

A flicker stirred his mind—his eyes mirroring the twisting agony of fierce flames!

Origin Flame Calamity—Mastering the Calamity of Martial Immortals?

Could he really temper his Martial Immortal Golden Body with primordial flame?

As the saying goes, true gold fears no fire!

Memories of explanations about Dao Calamity flowed like a stream, and a solemn look soon darkened Li Che’s eyes.

“Dao Calamity…”

“Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame… it’s different now. I must endure this calamity to truly command its power!”

Only by surviving these tribulations could he capture the strength of Dao Calamity.

In that instant, Li Che’s spirit brimmed with a daring excitement.

To directly overcome the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame would mean seizing the power of calamity itself—a new approach to confront Divine Calamity!

Thus, Li Che eagerly anticipated the outcome of mastering the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame.

A stirring in his soul.

Suddenly, deep within his chest, the freshly transformed Lv7 Dragon Elephant Vajra pounded heavily, like a colossal stone repeatedly slamming onto a lake’s surface!

Perhaps, because the Dao Fruit had reached Lv7 and undergone five metamorphoses, it now carried a weight far greater than before!

Dao Calamity!

It surged forth to be faced head-on!

Hum—!!!

With a brilliant hum, Li Che abruptly tilted his head back as the surroundings transformed, and he was transported into a mysterious space in silence.

Broken, shattered, annihilated—the ground lay barren, with only jagged exposed stones and pale wisps of smoke twisting in the chaos…

A scene reminiscent of a world ravaged by destruction!

It was like witnessing the aftermath of a newborn cosmic star, where life had been eradicated in a terrifying display.

Li Che stood, feeling the overwhelming pressure of heaven and earth crushing him!

That pressure…

It was simply terrifying!

The explosive, cataclysmic force turned the entire realm ferocious, as if it had just experienced a mass extinction fueled by rage!

Boom—!!!

Then,

Li Che looked skyward to witness a burst of purple flame overhead.

The purple flames swelled until they coalesced into a gigantic, intertwined demonic elephant of purple fire!

That demon elephant hurtled downward from the skies!

With a flick of its blazing trunk, the void warped and burned; Li Che’s hair stood on end, his fingers clenching as his Martial Immortal Golden Body channeled a terrifying torrent of golden blood, like a monstrous bullet exploding into a pillar of dreadful fire shooting up three hundred feet!

It then collided forcefully with the purple demonic elephant!

It was nothing more than a mere glance…

Li Che opened his eyes to find himself slumped on the wet ground of Mo City.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

Mo Rain drenched him, instantly vaporizing off his painfully scorched skin into twisting wisps of smoke that ascended into the murk.

Li Che sat up, his chest heaving like a bellows.

Dao Calamity…

It was utterly unstoppable.

Li Che exhaled deeply; a mere glance had left him so overwhelmed that he hadn’t even had time to counter before being obliterated.

Now, his Martial Immortal Golden Body was incredibly formidable—even the combined explosive force of the Eight Mysterious Gates could hardly withstand a single flame…

“In that tribulation space, it seems I can’t trigger the Eight Mysterious Gates; I must rely solely on my flesh. Martial Arts can be executed, yet in the face of absolute power, I have no time to counter…”

Li Che managed a bitter smile.

The Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame…

It was indeed terrifying.

But once Li Che mastered it…

In his enemies’ eyes, it would be he who instilled true terror!

After steadying himself, Li Che’s eyes sparkled as he noted, “My Martial Immortal Golden Body has improved slightly, and my Shengtian Dao Domain has expanded to fifty feet – all thanks to my cultivation’s progression…”

No doubt about it, true strength comes first.

How can one rely on imposing power when it’s easier to achieve victory by overcoming the odds?

Clenching his fist tightly,

a Feilei Chess Piece flared with brilliant light in his palm.

In a flash, Li Che vanished without a trace.

Zhao Beidou morphed into an obedient servant under Spiritual Confinement; within the Imperial Court’s ranks, Li Che had replaced three great generals!

Xie Yunshen, Huang Mei Great Master, and Zhao Beidou were now his own.

The power to decimate the Imperial forces, to convert every opponent into a target bearing the Li surname, was not far off now.

As for Divine Calamity… there was also one more: Gu Qianchi of Bashu Sword Pavilion!

Besides that, the formidable Old Dragon God loomed large.

“Once I master the power of Dao Calamity, I can finally confront the Old Dragon God. The realm of one disaster and two calamities is not to be taken lightly—even if I face betrayal from comrades, backstabbing descendants, or lethal poisons—it’s still unacceptable to underestimate it.”

Li Che murmured to himself.

This Old Dragon God of the Dragon God Clan, a three-thousand-year-old monster, deserved the most extravagant of retributions.

But as of now, the deadly poison “Nine-Turn Ascending Dragon Pillar” had yet to be perfected, and Li Che was in no haste.

Without a 95% guarantee to act, it would be a risk too great—Li Che would never ally himself with such fate!

Whoosh—

Li Che returned to the Study of Qianyuan Divine Sect.

The Cosmic Chessboard spanned the skies.

As his open palm spread wide, the Three Pure Divine Crystal he had obtained from Zhao Beidou’s Qian Kun miniature space fell directly into his hand.

Yet just as Li Che was about to refine the Divine Crystal’s essence,

the Cosmic Chessboard trembled slightly.

A stray thread of concern for his daughter sent a ripple of feedback.

Clutching the Three Pure Divine Crystal, Li Che’s eyes flickered as golden light burst forth,

and he gazed upon the images reflected on the Chessboard.

…

…

Dark clouds roiled as snow flurries howled!

Snowflakes as large as hands drifted slowly from the clouds.

A lone figure suddenly burst upward from the snowy expanse—a young girl named XiXi, wearing a little calf mask pushed high onto her head, revealing cheeks flushed from the cold.

XiXi’s eyes narrowed, sparks of anger and determination flashing in those lively eyes.

Behind her, the soft snow parted as three others emerged.

They were none other than Jin Taisui, Zhou Peng, and Yun’e.

“XiXi… this isn’t sustainable. Our cultivation is too weak; we’re only holding you back. That Martial Saint, Gu Chuan, is relentless in tracking us. It’s certainly our fault.”

Yun’e hugged a small rabbit, her eyes full of remorse as she looked at XiXi.

Zhou Peng and Jin Taisui fell silent.

None possessed the ability to conceal their energy as XiXi did—so subtle that even a Martial Saint couldn’t detect it.

XiXi exhaled a stream of hot breath, snorting in frustration.

“It’s my fault—I should have planted Feilei Chess Pieces along the way when we headed to Guangling Daocheng. That way, when we fled, escape would have been easy.”

XiXi chastised herself, reflecting on her mistake.

If only Master Niu Niu had been here, he would have thought of it ages ago.

“It doesn’t matter now…,”

“A Martial Saint…”

XiXi’s eyes glinted with a hint of murderous intent.

Not only was the Martial Saint of Tian Dan Divine Sect, Gu Chuan, relentlessly pursuing them, but he was also the mastermind behind Dengxian Pavilion, shielding the grim secrets of sacrificing young maidens’ essence to nourish the Temple Spirit and refine Dengxian Pills.

Was he even human?

If not, why hesitate to eliminate him?

“Chase him down—since there’s no escape, I’ll turn the tables on him!”

XiXi clenched her tiny fists, then placed her hands on her hips, her little belly protruding defiantly.

Her eyes flared with determination—after all, XiXi the Great was never one to suffer defeat!

Zhou Peng gulped and quickly stuffed three steamed buns into his mouth to steady himself.

XiXi the Great… planning to kill a Martial Saint?

After all, he was a Martial Saint!

XiXi’s cultivation was impressive; she had even won the crown at the Young Dragon Championship!

But killing a Martial Saint was no small matter, right?

XiXi said nothing further, instead darting off across the snow with blinding speed.

Her chubby hands retrieved one after another sheets of Xuan Huang Talisman Paper from her Qian Kun Jade, a talent recognized by the Sect Master’s Wife as a precursor to inheriting the Painted Immortal legacy!

She effortlessly deployed her talismans, setting traps and secret mechanisms…

Even a child could display a mighty temper!

Zhou Peng, Yun’e, and Jin Taisui were all momentarily stunned.

Watching little XiXi arranging her devices in the snow, they could almost feel her undaunted spirit.

Seven-year-old XiXi…

She truly intended to kill a Martial Saint!

…

…

Inside the Study of Qianyuan Divine Sect,

Li Che observed the scene through the Cosmic Chessboard, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

He had already set plenty of traps for XiXi. Back at the Young Dragon Championship, her methods in defeating Zhang Yunlong had partly relied on such devices.

Now that the Chess Sage Dao Fruit had advanced in rank, the potency of these traps had also grown considerably.

Perhaps this little girl really could pull it off?

Li Che was quite satisfied with XiXi’s state. Despite being relentlessly pursued by a Martial Saint during their escape, she showed no despair or tears.

Instead, she chose a brave, proactive stance.

Whether she could slay that Martial Saint now… would depend on her wits and strategy.

Li Che was pleased.

Sending XiXi out to gain experience was precisely to cultivate her ability to make decisive, dangerous choices in the face of the jianghu’s perils.

“At seven, wanting to kill a Martial Saint…”

“This little girl is just as fierce as her father!”

Li Che laughed, his fingers tightly clutching the Three Pure Divine Crystal as he absorbed its essence while quietly watching XiXi’s performance.

Little girl, what will you do?

…

…

Boom—!!!

The snow exploded around as a searing, scorching energy surged downward from the sky.

The snow melted almost instantly, and Gu Chuan, an elder of Tian Dan Divine Sect, clad in flowing robes, landed gracefully in the snow. Each step he took melted deep holes in the accumulated snow.

His piercing gaze roamed, his heavenly perception at its peak.

“Run? Where can you run? I’ve already sensed your aura… little girl.”

Gu Chuan’s hands slipped behind him as a look of assured control spread across his face.

Though XiXi had triumphed at the Young Dragon Championship, her cultivation was still meager—in Gu Chuan’s eyes, she was no more than a tiny ant.

Stranded in the snow, his formidable heavenly perception swept out.

Despite her faint aura, Gu Chuan’s sense detected not only little XiXi but three other children.

So, XiXi intended to lead these three in an escape from his pursuit?

One had to admit, a seven-year-old with such simple, unguarded thoughts…

Even if courting death, she was utterly direct about it.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack—

The sound of clenched fists and grating bones erupted the moment her grip tightened!

Boom—!

Her every heavy step sent snow flying as her crushing aura shook the white expanse!

“Got you now!”

Gu Chuan sneered coldly, swaying his body before unleashing a torrent of Martial Saint Yuan-Gang, a burst of blood-red energy distorting the air and boiling with ferocity!

Boom—!

With each heavy stomp, the thick snow erupted into drifting fog, enveloping the heavens and earth!

He abruptly turned his gaze to a point fifty feet away.

There—

XiXi, wearing her little calf mask, her eyes shining with an incandescent clarity; twin braids bound with red ribbon soared skyward like pillars reaching the clouds!

In Gu Chuan’s heavenly perception, little XiXi stood her ground while, five hundred feet away, her three companions dashed for their lives.

“Scouting for a rear-guard sacrifice?”

“So young, yet so selfless…”

“Impressive indeed.”

“Relax, I intend only to capture you alive—I can’t bring myself to kill you, as offering you to the Ancestral Patriarch yields greater gains!”

Gu Chuan chuckled.

But soon his smile froze.

For beneath the little calf mask, XiXi’s eyes fixed on him with a stare that could outwit any fool.

“Sacrifice? Do you think Li Nuǎnxi, a seven-year-old Grandmaster of Divine Vision, would sacrifice herself?”

“You must be dreaming… XiXi only intends to kill you.”

In the next moment, a Xuan Huang Talisman Paper materialized in her hand.

It burst into flames instantly.

With a swift motion, XiXi slammed it onto the snowy ground as an array of talismans ignited—so many that even the falling snow could not douse the blaze.

One by one, over a hundred talismans burst into furious flames!

Gu Chuan felt the very air around him thicken, as if he were sinking into a mire.

“Binding Immortal Talisman… Formation?”

“This is the trademark of the Xuanfu Divine Sect’s talismans!”

Gu Chuan’s eyes narrowed; he had not expected such prowess from this little girl in the art of talisman arrays.

Though news had spread that she was training under Lü Taibai’s wife in talisman arts, he never imagined her mastery would be so refined.

But… it was only this much!

In an instant, Gu Chuan’s gaze blazed as he thrust out his fingers as if summoning five razor-sharp divine spears to tear through the solid air!

Yet the talisman array, seemingly crafted by a semi-saint in talisman arts, hampered even a Martial Saint like him!

His will, embodied as a martial force, crashed down relentlessly!

In that moment, XiXi clenched a Feilei Chess Piece.

Then, as swiftly as before, she vanished.

Once again, that mysterious art of teleportation struck!

Under the oppressive force of the Binding Immortal Talisman Formation, Gu Chuan threw a punch into empty air and exhaled a frustrated breath.

But before he could finish, he caught sight of talismans affixed to carved Guanyin statues scattered on the snowy ground surrounding the formation.

The sight of these Guanyin statues sent an inexplicable shiver down his spine.

Not only that, a sudden premonition stirred within him.

Looking up, he discovered that this time, XiXi had not clutched any Feilei Chess Piece to flee.

Instead, she had teleported into the hundred-foot-high sky.

She unleashed her ultimate trap!

Fire God Thousand-Hand Guanyin Lotus Battle Tank!

Clattering sounds echoed as countless hands interlocked into a ring!

They resembled a cannon barrel formed by outstretched hands from the abyss of the afterlife…

Aimed right at Gu Chuan, who was immobilized by the Binding Immortal Talisman Formation!

XiXi the Great!

Unleashing the most spectacular firework of all!

Today, a Martial Saint will fall!
