Chapter 181: Tempest of Divine Fury

The torrential rain roared, nearly drowned out by explosions in mid-air!

Billowing smoke spread across the sky, churning like a black, serpentine dragon surging upward against the current!

The rapidly spinning barrels of the Fire God’s Cannon gradually slowed, their scorching heat evaporating every drop of rain that fell upon them.

Li Che unleashed all one thousand Avalanche Muduya in one continuous burst!

The Fire God’s Furious Dragon Mechanical Cannon—unlike the Xiangong Gatling—demands immense qi and blood from its operator.

With his furnace-master physique and prodigious qi, Li Che compressed his power until it erupted like a volcano, a torrent pouring forth.

As the thousand Avalanche Muduya blasted out, it felt as if his very qi and blood were being utterly drained, leaving a creeping void at his feet.

That cannon shot truly consumed vast amounts of qi and blood.

Steam billowed as the cannon barrel slowly rotated, sparks dancing until they gradually faded.

At its muzzle, searing heatwaves twisted the air in endless, undulating waves.

The barrage finally ceased its release.

Rain tore through the smoke and dust.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Huang Xi Long’s life force extinguished, leaving behind a body charred to ash as it swayed while falling from the sky.

It billowed with heat, ripping through the curtain of rain.

With a heavy thud, it crashed to the ground, splashing water up several meters high.

A Divine Practitioner…

to end up like this!

Between Heaven and Earth, an overwhelming divine aura surged and spread, like a massive boulder plunging into a lake and triggering waves hundreds of meters high!

Silence!

Only the sound of rain continued to fall.

In that moment, the entire Jingguang City fell into a deep, eerie stillness.

Even the other Divine Practitioners felt their bodies go numb under an urgent, chilling pressure.

Lu Yao’s eyes burst forth with dazzling brilliance…

The Golden Pill of the Lie Shen Pavilion Master…

was shattered wide open!

A Divine Practitioner’s Golden Pill embodies his inner essence.

It condenses divinity into tangible form, capturing the true will within the divine aura and infusing the pill with a radiant golden glow.

The golden light of the Pill can temper one’s primordial spirit, ultimately coalescing into a Divine Practitioner’s golden body!

Naturally, Divine Practitioners vary greatly in strength.

According to the Grandmasters’ principles—Divine Firmament, Unity of Heaven and Man, and the Three Blossoms of Transcendence—a Divine Practitioner can undergo three transformations.

These are the Primordial Spirit, the Golden Body, and the Fetal Breath transformations!

They mark the solid path for a Divine Practitioner’s evolution into a Supreme Divine Form!

But once the Golden Pill shatters, that Divine Practitioner is essentially finished.

What kind of firepower could shatter a Divine Practitioner’s prized Golden Pill—a pill exuding the overwhelming might of divine rank!

“That mechanism…”

Lu Yao’s eyes glittered as his gaze fell upon the colossal Fire God’s Mechanical Cannon clutched by the Ogre.

The Imperial Watch, after absorbing the Tang Clan forces, also has a formidable mechanical division.

Yet none of their devices could rival the cannon now wielded by Ogre.

If you were to compare, only ranked mechanical beasts come close!

The torrential rain poured down like pillars.

Washing over the land.

Without hesitation, Li Che retracted the steaming Fire God’s Furious Dragon Mechanical Cannon.

Then, with a pointed toe touching the ground, he propelled himself upward, sending rippling splashes through the puddles below.

His robust, tower-like frame soared into the sky.

Clenching his fist, a longbow instantly fell into his hand.

It was none other than the Red Flame Shattered Star Divine Bow of Wen Longshan!

With the divine bow in hand, his qi surged, and every sinew along his back vibrated like a recoiling cannon, his body trembling like a scalding furnace.

He gripped it tightly and drew the bow to full draw!

His true intent welled up inside him, as if countless streams of fire were plummeting from the heavens!

Grandmaster’s True Intent!

Red Flame Shattered Star Arrows!

At a master’s level of proficiency, Ogre unleashed this supreme true intent technique in that very instant.

Swish, swish, swish!

Gleaming arrows, furious and relentless, evaporated the rain as they streaked toward the falling body of Huang Xi Long.

Bang, bang, bang!

Arrows whistled through the air, blasting into Huang Xi Long’s body and igniting a torrent of flames in an instant.

Collapsed on the ground, Huang Xi Long’s charred corpse trembled unexpectedly.

Enraged, he erupted upward, his mighty qi surging with violent force!

It turned out to be a martial cultivator at the Grandmaster’s post-boundary level!

He roared and unleashed a flurry of punches, his scorched skin shattering into fragments.

That Ogre…

is unbelievably shameless?!

Even after his Golden Pill was shattered, he still dared to fire several more arrows at the corpse?

What kind of repulsive being exists in this world?!

Pfft!

The Red Flame Shattered Star Arrows burst forth continuously!

Huang Xi Long roared, channeling near Grandmaster-level strength, and forcefully hammered the arrows fired by Ogre.

But the overwhelming, domineering power within the arrows made his heart sink!

They were too powerful!

That Ogre…

Isn’t his cultivation nearly at the cusp of the Grandmaster realm?

Pfft—!

Huang Xi Long roared and swung his fists furiously, yet he couldn’t suppress the barrage of arrows.

In the end, an arrow pierced through his head.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

Huang Xi Long’s contorted, roaring head exploded, shattering into pieces!

Thick, mercury-like blood splattered before being instantly vaporized into a mist by the divine arrow’s force!

Boom—!

The divine arrow pierced his head with unyielding might, striking the ground behind him and blasting a massive crater, with pooling water swirling like a vortex.

Mud roiled, cracks spreading like a web!

Everyone was stunned!

They were shocked that Huang Xi Long wasn’t dead yet, still harboring a sinister counterattack.

They were equally amazed at how steady Ogre remained—shooting his opponent’s Golden Pill to pieces yet still aiming to shatter Huang Xi Long’s head with his divine arrow technique!

These two…

are utterly ruthless!

Whoosh—

For a moment, everyone’s vision blurred.

The burly Ogre dashed like a falcon, covering dozens of meters in an instant to appear beside Huang Xi Long’s shattered corpse.

Li Che glanced indifferently at the corpse of Huang Xi Long he had shattered with his arrow.

He clutched the corpse with his fist, forcefully extracting the Divine Practitioner’s essence and condensing it into a Divine Chess Piece.

Meanwhile…

Someone skillfully rummaged through Huang Xi Long’s remains and eventually found the Qian Kun Jade, contentedly pocketing it.

From spanning dozens of meters to finishing the search, it took scarcely five breaths.

After a thoroughly satisfying harvest,

Ogre stood up, clenching his fist.

In an instant, under everyone’s watchful eyes,

he shifted and vanished!

Silently, without a trace!

Only the relentless roar of the pouring rain remained.

A thick stench of blood and swirling blood mist, pierced by countless raindrops.

Everyone fell silent.

Watching Ogre complete his killing, corpse rummaging, and departure in one seamless act left everyone with ringing heads.

This is…

a killer from the Underworld?

Lu Yao exhaled; even someone as powerful as him suddenly found cold sweat gushing down his back.

It wasn’t due to Ogre’s display of mechanical prowess,

but rather because of his meticulous, relentless slaughter.

Having such a killer on their trail… that sure spelled trouble.

At that thought, Lu Yao couldn’t help but recall the Little Prince in the City Lord’s Residence.

He had been as arrogant as ever back then, and now that arrogance had turned into sheer terror.

“By the way… Xue Dufu… isn’t he dead?”

Lu Yao glanced toward the distance, where Xue Dufu was being suppressed by the Sevenfold Divine Technique employed by Huang Xi Long.

Although masked, his martial display immediately revealed Xue Dufu’s identity.

In all of Jingguang City, only someone like Xue Dufu could wield such a crescent blade technique…

truly, only Xue Dufu.

But Xue Dufu is supposed to be dead.

Pulled back from hell by the Underworld?

And now he’s even joined the Underworld?!

Lu Yao’s mind buzzed incessantly.

“I just can’t figure out the Underworld… it’s so opaque, completely impenetrable…”

The haunting strains of an erhu echoed as Monitor Hu Yingyue began to play again.

Exasperated, Lu Yao shot a glance at Hu Yingyue. His head was already buzzing, and the erhu only made it worse.

Ignoring Hu Yingyue, he turned his gaze toward Li Che.

Li Che, stained with blood, appeared to be in decent condition.

After all, Huang Xi Long was a Divine Practitioner; for someone like Li Che—a cultivator with a divine foundation—it was a suppression spanning two major tiers.

It was quite normal for Li Che to be grievously wounded and bleeding profusely solely due to rank disparity.

Had the Rain Sword technique truly struck him, Li Che would have been done for.

Thankfully, Ma Mian intervened in secret to save Li Che.

“You seem to have quite a good connection with the Underworld…”

Lu Yao cast a deep look at Li Che, who was rising after wiping off his blood.

But Li Che said nothing in response.

Unfazed, Lu Yao’s eyes flickered as he said, “When you get a chance, give me a way to contact the Underworld.”

“The Underworld likely takes on tasks, right?”

The allure of the Underworld was enough to make even Lu Yao, a Divine Practitioner, take notice.

Lu Yao’s strength far exceeded that of Huang Xi Long; he was in the later stage of the Primordial Spirit Transformation, nearly reaching the Golden Body stage, with faint hints of a golden body already forming.

Huang Xi Long had barely managed to trigger his Golden Pill to release its golden threads—likely just stepping into the mid-stage of the Primordial Spirit Transformation.

However, if Lu Yao had to endure a barrage from Ogre’s mechanical cannon, his fate would likely be no better.

The best strategy was to swiftly create distance and then use a divine technique for a long-range bombardment on Ogre.

Since Huang Xi Long had employed a divine technique on Niu Yi, he was at a disadvantage against Ogre and was ultimately obliterated.

But this was all part of Ogre’s intricate plan.

That’s why Lu Yao found it all terrifying—Ogre and the Underworld’s assassins were truly fearsome.

Lu Yao believed it was best to forge a good relationship with the Underworld.

After all, who doesn’t have a few enemies?

Li Che, the [Painted Immortal] duplicate, paused and nodded.

But still.

Just then,

in the distance, a figure in a blue robe wearing a Cat Face Mask strolled out of the wind and rain.

“The Underworld makes you die by the third watch; who dares to keep you alive until the fifth…?”

All eyes, including Lu Yao’s, turned to watch.

Lin Xiu’s mouth twitched.

Isn’t that Li Qingshan that guy?

Li Qingshan drifted in, standing silently amidst the storm.

Watching Li Qingshan’s flamboyant stance and chanting, Lin Xiu felt an intense envy.

Why hadn’t he seized this moment?

Moreover…

Has Li Qingshan really joined the Underworld?

…

…

Fists clenched.

In an instant, the Feilei Chess Piece was seized by Li Che.

The surrounding wind and rain abruptly vanished, leaving only flickering candlelight.

Outside the city, within the Fire-Eyed Astonished Spirit Ape Bizarre Temple,

Li Che, wearing an Ogre Mask, emerged with a towering, robust figure like a mountain,

and he stood within the temple.

As his boiling qi roared relentlessly, Li Che removed the Ogre Mask and stored it in his Qiankun Space. With a gentle twist of his bones, a sound like a bowstring snapping burst from his back—reminiscent of a dragon elephant’s roar that sent tremors through the air!

Gradually, the sound faded away.

It was like beads of blood rolling—each drop resonating like pearls falling onto a jade plate, crisp and melodious.

After an intense clash, his qi and blood chiseled his flesh.

Facing off against a Divine Practitioner was no small feat, and Li Che remained tense throughout, daring not to underestimate his opponent.

Only when he shattered Huang Xi Long’s head did Li Che finally feel a hint of relief.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

In an instant, as he relaxed completely, the heat built up in his pores burst forth like scalding steam from a pressure cooker, whipping up a fierce gale!

In this battle, Li Che’s qi and blood were greatly expended.

Whether it was the bait that drained his qi at the start or the later barrage of Fire God’s Cannon shots, his energy was severely depleted.

The ordinary [Painted Immortal] duplicate is fragile, so Li Che fortified it to prevent it from shattering into ink mist under Huang Xi Long’s crushing divine rank pressure, thereby avoiding a premature alert.

Thus, he increased its qi proportion.

Ensuring that this duplicate’s physical strength was not lacking.

It even reached the strength of an ordinary Grandmaster.

Undoubtedly, the bait was a success.

Sitting cross-legged, Li Che took out an Eight Extremity Martial Pill and swallowed it.

With a gulp, the pill fell into his stomach.

“Hoo—”

“Inhale—”

With each breath, Li Che crushed the pill’s potency, fervently baptizing his flesh!

This battle was immensely rewarding for Li Che!

His eyes fluttered open and shut as a wild storm swept through the Bizarre Temple.

Upon the altar, candle flames danced while the disheveled Spirit Ape deity statue wore a bitter expression.

That bastard… is at it again!

He’s nearly completely drained—he’s really about to be sucked dry!

It was as if the temple deity screamed out in resistance.

Yet Li Che took it as the deity’s warm welcome.

Stirred by the sensation,

shimmering light flowed gracefully before his eyes.

【Dao Fruits: Xiangong (Lv4 20%), Dragon Elephant Vajra (Lv4 30%), Pure Heart (Lv3 70%), Chess Sage (Lv3 98%), Painted Immortal (Lv2 50%)】

The Dao Fruit stats appeared before his eyes.

Li Che’s eyes sparkled.

The improvement of the Xiangong Dao Fruit was expected; crafting the Fire God’s Furious Dragon Mechanical Cannon greatly enhanced its maturity.

Then there was the Dragon Elephant Vajra, its potency bolstered by the combat experience of slaying a Divine Practitioner.

But what thrilled Li Che most were the Pure Heart and Chess Sage Dao Fruits!

The Chess Sage Dao Fruit, having absorbed the divine essence to coalesce into a chess piece, was nearly at Lv4!

In fact, Li Che could even transfer the maturity of his Pure Heart Dao Fruit for an upgrade.

But he wasn’t in a hurry—he decided to steady his emotions and tally his gains before advancing further.

The shimmering light before him gradually faded away.

As the pill’s effects took hold, Li Che’s qi and blood replenished rapidly.

His eyes shone brilliantly.

Within his chest, the Pure Heart Dao Fruit beat with fervor.

Pure Heart · Spiritual Confinement!

In the next moment,

countless strands of black divine energy converged rapidly, as if myriad lights were being devoured, and the darkness began to coalesce.

Gradually, it formed the shape of Huang Xi Long.

Though rendered in a gloomy hue.

Much like Xue Dufu.

Huang Xi Long, just expelled by Spiritual Confinement, appeared as if he had been dragged back aimlessly from the netherworld, bewildered and disoriented.

Still in a daze.

But upon seeing Li Che, a spark gradually ignited in his eyes.

The light grew ever brighter…

In the next moment, it was as if a streak of golden light emerged!

Buzz—buzz—buzz—

Huang Xi Long’s dark form trembled as he opened his mouth and let out a long howl.

A surge of divine perception struck, causing a Golden Pill with a black halo to levitate!

Li Che furrowed his brow.

Is it resisting?

Spiritual Confinement… even the captured divine general dares to rebel?

Is it because Huang Xi Long was a Divine Practitioner?

Li Che couldn’t help but wonder.

He watched silently as Huang Xi Long struggled in resistance.

Suddenly,

with a raised eyebrow and a flick of his finger,

Xue Dufu’s figure materialized, his eyes shining brilliantly as he fixed his gaze on Li Che.

“Greetings, Master!”

Then he greedily stared at the Huang Xi Long emerging from Spiritual Confinement.

Li Che instantly perceived Xue Dufu’s intent.

“Do you wish to… devour him?”

Li Che was momentarily stunned.

Xue Dufu nodded repeatedly.

With narrowed eyes, Li Che smiled, “If that’s the case…”

“Then you shall be rewarded.”

“He is yours.”

As soon as his words faded,

Xue Dufu’s divine general sprang into action—hooked fingers and surging black aura forcefully clamping onto Huang Xi Long’s head.

In an instant, he squeezed it until it shattered!

Boom—!

Billows of black smoke surged as Xue Dufu opened his mouth, ravenously inhaling endless streams of dark smoke.

His aura steadily grew stronger.

In just a moment, it surpassed the power of living Xue Dufu.

Divine Firmaments manifested on his body, one after another, until fifteen in total appeared—penetrating 150 meridians.

Once Huang Xi Long was completely devoured,

Xue Dufu’s aura fell quiet; swirling black energy enveloped him as he clasped his fists in fervent reverence, thanking Li Che.

“Th-thank you, Master!”

Li Che could sense that Xue Dufu’s loyalty was nearly absolute!

“Even the captured divine general… can they actually gain strength by devouring?”

Li Che’s eyes flickered with surprise.

This was something he had not anticipated.

However, Xue Dufu’s formidable aura had certainly bolstered Li Che’s trump card.

“If I keep feeding Niu Yi… in the end, to what extent will he grow?”

Li Che’s eyes gleamed brightly.

He snapped his fingers.

Niu Yi vanished without a trace.

Inside the shrine, cold winds howled and a somber whimper echoed.

It was unclear if the sight of Niu Yi devouring Huang Xi Long had frightened the Spirit Ape Temple Deity on the altar.

The Bizarre Temple fell into an uncanny silence.

“This Divine Essence Chess Piece of the Lie Shen Pavilion Master… fifty in total, which isn’t too few.”

“Compared to the Divine Perception Chess Piece, when detonated like a great avalanche, the power of the Divine Essence Chess Piece must be even more formidable and terrifying!”

Li Che laughed.

The potency of the Guanyin Lotus Bullet could be raised even further.

After a brief calm,

Li Che retrieved Huang Xi Long’s Qian Kun Jade—the Qian Kun Jade of a Divine Practitioner—which was irresistibly captivating to him.

A powerful divine perception penetrated the Qian Kun Jade, tearing through its exceptional barrier.

Inside, its space was vast beyond measure.

Li Che’s divine perception swept over it as he began to inventory its contents.

The first step after opening the jade was to search for Divine Crystals!

Buzz—

With a flicker of thought,

Divine Crystals began to appear before Li Che.

They clustered densely…

Potent divine energy roiled wildly!

Li Che stared in astonishment before his face trembled slightly.

“Indeed… even more opulent than last time!”

The refined collection and depth of a Divine Practitioner were truly unmatched by vulgar martial artists.

Especially considering he was the master of an assassin organization like the Lie Shen Pavilion!

“Two Sixfold Divine Crystals, twenty Sevenfold Divine Crystals, eighty Eight Extremity Divine Crystals… and countless others.”

“Truly… he’s exceedingly wealthy!”

Li Che was dazzled and mesmerized.

He first lifted his hand and seized two Sixfold Divine Crystals as overwhelming divine energy surged wildly.

Not a trace of absorption marred the pristine Sixfold Divine Crystals!

Clearly, these were the reserve funds of the Lie Shen Pavilion Master who had come to Jingguang City to establish a branch.

They now belonged entirely to Li Che.

After collecting all the Divine Crystals, Li Che’s heart raced as he continued his tally.

Regarding divine weapons, things were rather ordinary: two top-grade Sevenfold weapons—a sword and a round shield—adept for both offense and defense.

They were perfectly matched for both, yet they didn’t suit Li Che, so he quickly stored them away.

Li Che glanced at his Qiankun Space.

Unbeknownst to him, the divine weapons amassed from his rampage had already reached several dozen.

Among them were quite a number of Sevenfold weapons.

“I should find time to fence these…”

“Jingguang Mansion probably can’t digest them—I’ll wait until I head to Daocheng to sell them.”

Li Che devised a plan in his mind.

Composed, he continued his tally.

Next came the category of martial techniques, which brought Li Che considerable surprise!

Sevenfold Divine Technique!

‘Sevenfold Suspended Thoughts, Skimming the Void Divine Golden Pill Technique’!

It is a Divine Golden Pill Technique based on the sevenfold meditative emotions!

A method capable of cultivating one to the Divine Practitioner realm!

Li Che was briefly excited, then calmed down since his current cultivation focused on nurturing his nature and consolidating divine perception.

His divine aptitude was admittedly lacking.

But at least it was a path that would let him understand the Divine Practitioner realm.

After perusing it, Li Che had an epiphany.

“Divine Practitioner, the three Golden Pill transformations…”

“The transformations of Primordial Spirit, Golden Body, and Fetal Breath—while the Lie Shen Pavilion Master has only undergone the Primordial Spirit transformation.”

“If he were to evolve to a Golden Body, even the Fire God Cannon might not be enough to kill him.”

“However, once you couple that with Avalanche Muduya empowered by a divine chess piece, its power should be enough to obliterate him.”

Li Che put away the technique, continuing his inventory—he had indeed discovered something valuable.

A gold-leafed book appeared in his hands.

‘Lingxu Baqi Steps’!

“Is this… a supreme martial body movement technique?”

“Do Divine Practitioners also hoard Martial Saint techniques?”

Li Che was overjoyed!

He had thought gathering all five volumes of Martial Saint techniques would be incredibly difficult.

But it now seemed not as challenging as he had imagined.

Martial Saint techniques aren’t rare; the real challenge lies in mastering them!

By the time one reaches Grandmaster, nearly everyone cultivates a Martial Saint technique.

It’s the foundation for shattering into the Martial Saint realm.

“Now, I’ve mastered four Martial Saint techniques…”

“Myriad Transformations of Dragon Elephant, Hun Yuan Qi Tian Gun, Thousand Mountain Solitary Blade, and now Lingxu Baqi Steps!”

“Once I refine the true intent of all five Martial Saint techniques and infuse my five organs with them, stepping into the Grandmaster realm, I could likely defeat an ordinary Grandmaster with ease!”

Li Che was filled with anticipation.

“The Little Prince Ji Haihui still has one volume…”

Li Che remembered it well.

It was something he had already reserved.

He continued his tally as his haul kept growing.

The collection of a branch leader from the Lie Shen Pavilion, meant to sustain their vast organization, was truly abundant.

“Twenty bottles of Lower Sixfold Dragon Blood Martial Pills—each containing a Sixfold Martial Pill—plus fifty-seven bottles of Upper Sevenfold Martial Pills, and even more of the Eighth and Ninth tiers…”

“These must be rewards to console the assassins under his command.”

“They all cost me next to nothing.”

Li Che beamed brilliantly.

He was in high spirits.

He meticulously recounted his gains once more.

He couldn’t help but feel deeply satisfied.

“Satisfaction.”

Li Che exhaled a long sigh.

Having finished tallying his gains,

Li Che stood up, stretching as his joints creaked loudly.

His overwhelming qi surged like a storm.

He stood in the Bizarre Temple,

his heart finally calming.

Before his eyes, shimmering light flickered into view.

Li Che directly transferred the maturity of his Pure Heart Dao Fruit to his [Chess Sage] Dao Fruit!

It added an extra 2% maturity to the Chess Sage Dao Fruit!

Boom—!

In an instant, Li Che felt as though the world suddenly fell silent.

One could hear a pin drop!

Only the pounding of the dao fruit in his chest resounded like thunder, growing ever more profound!

It exploded by his ears like startling thunder!

Scores of dao fruits pulsed in unison!

It was as if countless black and white lights perpetually flashed before him.

【Dao Fruit: Chess Sage (LV4 0%)】

It was done!

Li Che suddenly opened his eyes; his pupils seemed crisscrossed by a grid.

The alternating black and white flashes resembled falling meteors from a chessboard!

An immense force abruptly dragged him into the boundless, desolate expanse!

A towering Dao Tree erupted from the ground, piercing the clouds with its expansive canopy that embraced the world!

He couldn’t tell if it was an illusion.

Li Che felt that the towering Dao Tree had grown even more massive!

Its branches stretched wide, leaves glistening and endlessly lush, their veins weaving like a microcosm.

Every leaf, a world of its own!

Dao Fruits hung from it, their black and white radiance dazzling!

That was… the Chess Sage Dao Fruit!

Looking on, Li Che felt his soul being drawn and absorbed by the dao fruit!

In the next moment, an intricate chessboard spread out from beneath Li Che’s feet, with him standing on a star square.

And diagonally opposite, the Chess Sage Dao Fruit stood on its own star square.

Li Che and the dao fruit faced each other atop the board.

Then, in the next moment,

Li Che’s eyes involuntarily narrowed.

He felt the chessboard begin to warp and collapse.

Beyond the board, behind the star square with the dao fruit, a vague figure appeared, fingers clutching a chess piece, poised to play.

The figure was too ethereal and transcendent.

The hand suspending the chess piece above the board, in an instant, seemed like the palm of Tathagata, blotting out the sun.

Smack—

A white chess piece fell like a white meteor!

It struck the board with tremendous force.

Heaven and earth shattered as thunder roared!

Li Che’s consciousness was suddenly ripped from that vast realm!

When he opened his eyes again, the intertwined chessboard network filled his vision!

His mind became unerringly calm, as if all emotion had been stripped away, leaving only absolute serenity.

Who is that?

Beyond the dao fruit, the one making the move on the board… who is it?!

Inside, there was neither joy nor sorrow;

his eyes as still as a frozen lake.

And then he saw…

【Dao Fruit LV4 Second Transformation: Nascent Divine Skill (Chess Sage: Great Avalanche) ascended to Divine Skill (Chess Sage: Wuji)】

The dao fruit’s second transformation.

Divine Skill: Wuji!
