Chapter 258: Clash of Divine Might in Mo City
by xennovelHoo hoo hoo—!!
Inside Mo City.
A torrential downpour roared and swept through; every dropping raindrop split the air like an arrow, tearing through the sky with an explosive boom!
Fury flared in Su Wenxi’s eyes as his inner energy surged relentlessly.
Even though he’d been dragged into this peculiar city, Su Wenxi merely regarded it as a place formed by some unique divine talisman array deployed by the Underworld.
His senses, sharpened by his Martial Saint prowess and his ability to merge with the forces of Heaven and Earth, did not detect any imminent mortal threat.
There was no sign of anything that could endanger his life or make him uneasy.
Yet, he could feel a murderous intent.
An invisible aura of killing intent enveloped him, filling him with deep indignation!
It was a feeling…
The shame of being targeted and hunted by a swarm of insignificant ants.
“You really want to slaughter a Martial Saint?”
“Unless the Underworld sends a true Martial Saint… with nothing more than a flawed Fifth Elder-tier mechanical beast, you dare even dream of it?”
Martial Saint…
They exist beyond the realm of great masters in martial arts, transcending the ordinary to harness the very forces of Heaven and Earth with every move!
Their might is terrifying—far beyond that of any great master!
A flawed Fifth Elder-tier mechanical beast paired with an unsurpassed grandmaster whose divine seed just exploded…
You think you can take down a Martial Saint?!
What a fool’s dream!
Crack, crack, crack—
Fingers closed, tendons and bones grinding—the sickening sound erupted the moment his fist clenched.
Though Su Wenxi was a newly anointed Martial Saint of the Su Family, the vast resources and rigorous training of the Su Family had already pushed him to the pinnacle of Martial Saint prowess.
His dantian and fleshly core trembled as if a second fissure was about to appear!
An overwhelming surge of Martial Saint Yuan Gang burst forth, distorting the very air around him with a nearly tangible, seething, and destructive force.
Boom—!
With open fingers, his fists seemed to adorn the air like five divine spears as his ancient, simple robe suddenly tore apart, revealing a body forged like refined steel, tempered through countless trials!
The resplendent fist force surged upward; one strike sent countless ink raindrops in an inverted arc toward the dome of the sky!
The Blood-Yang Nine Divine Vajra Ape roared with its head thrown back as tens of thousands of mechanical marks erupted, radiating a dazzling brilliance!
Vital Radiance coalesced upon the fist that had shattered in the clash with Su Wenxi, glistening like crimson glazed glass, as if blood and fire were simmering within.
Vital Radiance is the divine power of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.
An auxiliary divine power with various functions, even capable of enhancing the rank of divine weapons and mechanical devices, remedying their flaws.
This was one method Li Che employed to enhance and perfect the Vajra Primate.
After the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit underwent its three transformations and the divine skill Radiant Rise and the heavenly power Dragon Elephant Vajra awakened, Vital Radiance was further enhanced.
Vital Radiance transformed like malleable clay into an arm-like form, bulging with muscle and coursing with pulsating, blood-red veins.
Boom—!!!
A brutal punch collided with the blow countered by Su Wenxi.
“If I can shatter your first attack, I can break your second!”
“No matter what tricks you use to patch things up, they’re useless!”
Su Wenxi shouted coldly.
One man, one primate—one large, one small—once again clashed in a contest of fist power!
Thud—!
It was as if a star had cleaved the void, crashing ferociously into the earth!
Brilliant light burst open as crimson mist exploded in Mo City. The impact sent out concentric shockwaves that churned the turbulent expanse of energy!
Yet this time, to Su Wenxi’s surprise, the arm of the Vajra Primate, woven entirely of dense crimson fog, withstood his Martial Saint punch!
It was as if it had transcended its material nature!
Su Wenxi’s eyes narrowed: “What is this?”
But he didn’t dwell on it long, for a demonic python roared as it slammed down and wound around him. In the split second of his exchange with the Vajra Primate, it landed squarely before him.
From within the python, You Liqing, clad in golden armor, thrust his Zhangba Snake Halberd fiercely into Su Wenxi’s chest.
Su Wenxi’s eyes flashed with electric brilliance as his dark, vigorous hair whipped wildly!
Then—!
A crisp, explosive snap shattered the air!
Gale-force winds roared and swept by, shredding the air with a barrage of bullet-like flashes!
Beneath the mask, You Liqing’s eyes were cold and devoid of emotion.
From his back, two divine seeds detonated with a resounding blast, sending circles of blood-red power crashing into Su Wenxi’s chest!
The speed of that thrust was incredible, showcasing the Zhangba Snake Halberd divine martial art in flawless mastery!
His worn robe completely shredded away, exposing a chest as refined and resilient as tempered iron.
The Zhangba Snake Halberd emitted a piercing sound as its shaft bent like a taut bow, the zenith of stored power!
It resembled a golden crescent suspended between Heaven and Earth!
“You Liqing?” Su Wenxi’s eyes flickered with an unusual glint.
That Zhangba Snake Halberd, the golden armor, and the surging anger—all had magnified his strength and explosive divine martial art beyond measure…
Su Wenxi felt a sudden flicker of recognition.
“You’re not dead?! And you’ve allied with the Underworld… alongside Huang Jianjiu, plotting against the Su Family?!”
Gazing at the Zhangba Snake Halberd pressed against his chest in a perfect arc,
Su Wenxi replied coldly, “Pathetic.”
“If you want to kill a Martial Saint, this is not enough.”
Boom!
A heavy step, like a barrage of thunderous bombs, shattered Mo City’s ground as chunks collapsed, mimicking a surging earth dragon; mud, sand, and stone surged like a tidal wave!
A powerful force burst from Su Wenxi’s Martial Saint-level physique, his Yuan Gang surging and roaring like thunder!
You Liqing’s unleashed divine power, which had detonated his two divine seeds, was shattered instantly by the impact. The bent Zhangba Snake Halberd flew out like a bolt of golden lightning!
With a resounding bang, it pierced the ground, creating an enormous deep pit!
A fan-shaped shockwave of destruction obliterated large parts of Mo City, sending buildings collapsing in a maelstrom of dust and turbulent waves!
Furious, Su Wenxi charged forward with resolute strides. His foot struck the ground, launching a punch so fast that You Liqing barely had time to retreat.
Su Wenxi transformed his fist into an open palm; in an instant, the field before him froze as though the winds and rain had solidified.
You Liqing, trying to back away, suddenly sank into a mire, his eyes narrowing slightly…
This was…
The technique of harnessing the power of Heaven and Earth as wielded by a Martial Saint!
Grasping You Liqing effortlessly, Su Wenxi’s expression was icy as his Yuan Gang leaped like lightning, slamming him forcefully into the ground!
Boom—!!!
A grip and a throw faster than thunder, completely beyond the scope of perception!
Before You Liqing’s Spiritual Confinement could react, he was slammed violently into the ground by a Martial Saint’s unstoppable impact.
“Die!”
Su Wenxi roared as a dense surge of Yuan Gang reverberated between his fist and palm, striking You Liqing with a blow that sent a mushroom cloud of debris skyward!
Howl—!!!
The Vajra Primate roared; following the collision, Vital Radiance reformed into a massive arm that pounded back at Su Wenxi.
The impact was like a roaring ocean, a majestic force surging like a rampaging river!
Su Wenxi’s eyes narrowed slightly.
It wasn’t the blow from the thundering Vajra Primate…
but rather that You Liqing, flung mercilessly to the ground, seemed to have… exploded!
So brittle?
How could a supreme grandmaster’s flesh be so fragile!
Something was wrong!
……
……
Crash, crash—
Mo City was drenched in rain, the pitter-patter bombarding the ground, each impact rippling with the horror of the Martial Saint’s aura.
Li Che, masked with the Ogre Mask, merged with the darkness.
Watching the grand, tumultuous battle, his eyes shimmered subtly behind the mask.
The Vajra Primate combined with You Liqing…
Failed to exert significant pressure on Su Wenxi.
Martial Saints…
They indeed surpass great masters—even someone like You Liqing, barely a step away from a Martial Saint, who, despite detonating two divine seeds, is but an unsurpassed grandmaster at the half-Martial Saint level…
Against a Martial Saint, even he seemed at a loss.
Regarding the Martial Saint…
Li Che had always respected them. A Martial Saint was a force far above even the highest of ranks. Underestimating them was the height of self-cruelty.
To underestimate one’s enemy was to court one’s own ruin!
In his mind, he had replayed the moment he would face a Martial Saint!
If he were to confront a Martial Saint or Divine Nucleus Great God head-on, would he have any means to counter?
After all, Daocheng was very different from Jingguang City. Ever since arriving at Daocheng, Li Che had felt an immense pressure.
In Jingguang City, with his power, Li Che could have easily navigated the currents…
Apart from the threat lurking within the bizarre confines of the Four-Yu Bizarre Temple and Bizarre Temple, very few could truly endanger his family.
But Daocheng was different—where warriors abounded—Li Che witnessed an entirely different panorama, and the pressure was immense.
Only in Daocheng could one truly encounter Martial Saints and Divine Nucleus beings, leaving Li Che in a state of constant vigilance.
Now, he was finally facing a Martial Saint…
Within his chest, the Painted Immortal Dao Fruit seemed to be clenched tightly by his fingers, trembling violently.
A snap of his fingers.
The mighty merging of vital energy and divine essence burst forth, unfurling scroll after scroll in the air with a resounding rush as they landed!
Five scrolls descended, spiraling and slowly unfurling around Li Che.
He pressed his Bamboo Hat down; his fingers, like divine spears, thrust forward fiercely.
In an instant!
The scrolls vibrated and five Blood-Yang Nine Divine Vajra Apes shot out from within, fast as lightning!
They surged with turbulent, ink-dark water splashes!
Howl—!!!
The Painted Immortal Dao Fruit upgraded, reaching level 4. Its overall replication effect had improved significantly, though still falling short of perfection.
Nevertheless, the replicated Vajra Primate now possessed roughly 70–80% of its true power!
Buzz—
By his side,
You Liqing’s Spiritual Confinement condensed like thick fog, his chest heaving violently, trembling uncontrollably.
“How is it?”
Li Che said in a deep tone.
“Very strong!”
“But damn satisfying.”
You Liqing’s Spiritual Confinement brimmed with fighting intent…
Even though Su Wenxi had seized the opportunity to inflict devastating damage using the forces of Heaven and Earth, You Liqing felt no fear!
After all, as a master of Spiritual Confinement… he could not die!
Even though every time he was shattered it left him a bit weaker!
The thrill of clashing with a Martial Saint, of engaging in brutal combat, intoxicated You Liqing!
“Martial Saints wield the power of Heaven and Earth—their suppression is overwhelming… if you can’t break free from their control, fighting one is nearly impossible.”
You Liqing recounted the details following their first collision.
Li Che nodded slightly.
Then You Liqing fell silent, his figure transforming into a bolt of black lightning as he dashed back into the stormy chaos of Mo City!
The Zhangba Snake Halberd, hurled into the ground moments earlier, streaked out like a beam of golden light as he clutched it tightly.
“Boom—”
“Boom—!!”
Two rare divine seeds detonated once more!
As three flowers bloomed in unison, the Angry Heavenly King’s Zhang Mo Mang Spear roared!
Watching You Liqing charge at the Martial Saint with undaunted determination, Li Che’s form melted back into the darkness.
In the next moment, Ma Mian—wearing a horse-face mask—dashed forward wielding the Xiangong Bloodfire Bodhi Barrett, shattering the ink rain as he leapt swiftly across the ink-dark tiles that resembled the waterways of the south.
Booming, rumbling—
The ground trembled relentlessly!
Two Guanyin Lotus Main Battle Tanks emerged with a roar; their lotus platforms rolled over the ground as thousands of arms above the Guanyin seemed to move in a surreal dance!
Having replicated five Vajra Apes in succession, Li Che could now only muster one Guanyin Lotus Main Battle Tank.
It was the utmost limit of his current divine essence cultivation.
“My divine essence cultivation is somewhat lacking…”
Li Che exhaled as the divine vision of Fa Tian Xiang Di on the Luminous True Primate shook him, crazily absorbing the divine essence from the Divine Crystal to restore his state.
In the next moment,
Li Che’s eyes suddenly darkened with gravitas.
With one decisive step, he landed on the Guanyin Lotus Main Battle Tank; on the other side, a Spiritual Confinement chess piece fell, instantly morphing into the long-legged, imposing Blue Bird and the sturdy Long Tai!
Li Che’s command was transmitted; the Blue Bird instantly grasped how to operate the Guanyin Lotus Main Battle Tank.
Long Tai was tasked with helping the Blue Bird absorb the counterforce from the tank.
A snap of his fingers.
Two streams of light shot forth.
Taking on the shape of droplets, they housed the overwhelming power of divine chess pieces equivalent to a hundred Divine Essence realm cultivators.
In addition, the Black and White Collapse was imbued within—an explosive secondary obliteration!
This was the version Li Che had finalized after numerous modifications, successfully merging the explosive strengths of Great Avalanche and Black and White Collapse into the Extreme Collapse Avalanche Guanyin Lotus Bullet!
This time, Li Che didn’t hesitate to use all the divine chess pieces extracted from slain Divine Essence realm cultivators, channeling them into the Extreme Collapse Avalanche Guanyin Lotus Bullet!
Against a Martial Saint, Li Che left nothing in reserve.
Every last divine chess piece from the fallen Divine Essence cultivators was funneled into the bullet!
Full firepower—
All systems go!!!
……
……
It was crazy!
Absolutely insane!
At the Su Family Residence.
The entire compound was ensnared by a colossal chessboard net that stifled the flow of energy, as if shrouded in a hazy mist.
The whole Su Family Residence was bleeding.
“Hahahahaha—”
Huang Jianjiu laughed uproariously, his jet-black hair whipping about. The Sword Immortal’s Sword, borrowed from the bizarre temple of Lv Xuan Sword Immortal, burst with dazzling radiance.
The sword danced like a roaming dragon, its light rampaging wildly.
A piercing scream echoed in the air—a Divine Essence Golden Pill cultivator was skewered by the sword’s fury. His golden pill exploded, and blood burst from his orifices as he split in midair, cleaved cleanly in two by the sword energy.
A dense blood mist erupted, drifting amid the tranquil moonlight of the dark night.
Drinking, striding, laughing, killing, admiring the moon…
There was a peculiar satisfaction in it all.
Yet Huang Jianjiu’s seemingly slow movements were terrifyingly efficient; he was eliminating foes one after another.
“So crisp!”
Huang Jianjiu’s body burned with a mix of deathly aura and corpse energy. His black hair flared wildly, and on his jade-hued, patterned semi-divine corpse form, he shone brilliantly under the moon.
Huang Jianjiu didn’t know how long the Underworld could restrain Su Wenxi.
He had never fancied the idea that the Underworld could kill a Martial Saint. After all, until now, they had never displayed Martial Saint-level prowess.
When killing You Liqing, there was a hint of such power—but no concrete proof.
So Huang Jianjiu… his sword wouldn’t pause; he just wanted to slaughter more of these dogs, to kill to his heart’s content!
As if hearing the agonized cries from outside, deep within the Su Family Residence, in every courtyard, wrinkled-skinned, withered, and even crazed women bound in chains clattered toward the door.
They peered out from tiny windows, inhaling the metallic scent of blood, watching the swirling sword light in the air.
It was as if they recalled something, tears streaming uncontrollably as they began clapping wildly.
Huang Jianjiu’s divine perception sensed these women immediately.
He pitied them, lamenting that they were once dazzling, extraordinarily gifted—the hope of a family and clan.
But now, their talents had been completely drained, left as forgotten relics confined within opulent yet lifeless courtyards.
Suddenly,
Huang Jianjiu’s steps halted before a small courtyard in the distance.
He paused.
With a light laugh and a swig of his drink,
he strode past as his sword light grew even fiercer.
Under the silver glow of the moon, blood-red flowers bloomed in exquisite, seductive splendor.
……
……
Crash, crash.
Ma Mian found his mark and descended gracefully. His slender form stood erect like a spear as he lifted the Xiangong Bloodfire Bodhi Barrett.
Half-crouched, poised with his spear, his eyes deep under his horse-face mask.
Inside Mo City…
He did not even need the aiming of the Cosmic Chessboard, for Mo City was situated within its very bounds.
Therefore,
Lock on and target!
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz—
One after another, water-drop-shaped Bloodfire Bodhi Dragon Tooth Bullets hovered around him like budding fireworks.
He took one Bloodfire Bodhi Dragon Tooth and loaded it into the Barrett.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
It was as if all of Heaven and Earth fell silent around Ma Mian’s ears; even as countless ink-dark raindrops pelted down, nothing could block his perception.
He calculated the effects of the rain and airflow on the speed and trajectory of the bullets.
Locking onto Su Wenxi, the under-attack Martial Saint besieged by six Vajra Apes and ambushed by You Liqing.
Each breath,
the world fell silent.
Ma Mian suddenly burst forth.
In an instant!
The barrel of the Bloodfire Bodhi Barrett glowed red-hot like a branding iron!
Scorching, scorching!
The rain instantly evaporated, hissing as it released heat and white vapor!
The air seemed to warp as if its trajectory had been pierced!
It was as if emptiness itself had been penetrated!
The high-speed, spinning Bloodfire Bodhi Dragon Tooth streaked out like a scarlet line, silently flaring out before exploding with a thunderous boom atop Ma Mian’s barrel!
Ma Mian, half-crouched on the ground, saw the raindrops behind him burst into fragments as the recoil force roiled, whipping up a ferocious wind!
Elsewhere!
Li Che, masked with the Ogre Mask, slammed the launch button on the Guanyin Lotus Main Battle Tank just as Ma Mian fired his sniper shot.
Crack, crack, crack—
A thousand Guanyin Thousand Hands piled up before him, forming a cannon barrel!
A brilliant blue light erupted from within the many hands of Guanyin, its dazzling glow tearing through the omnipresent ink and piercing the turbulent air!
Like a blue-flamed divine dragon, it roared with an explosive shout that shook both Heaven and Earth!
Boom—!!!
The entire Mo City trembled as the ground shattered, blue bricks cracked into a web of fissures, and surging heat and steam burst forth from the cracks!
Elsewhere, the Blue Bird also fired!
As a divine archer, the Blue Bird’s ability to handle such overwhelming mechanical might exceeded even Li Che’s expectations.
It was as if two blue divine dragons spanned the skies over Mo City, drawing out two massive surges of energy!
These omnipresent waves were forced aside by the twin blue dragons, rolling like relentless tides accompanied by thunderous roars!
Within the blue thunder dragons, a terrifying, world-shattering destructive force was brewing!
……
……
Su Wenxi, with his wild, unruly black hair, banged his fists in a frenzy, unleashing a counterblow against a Vajra Primate that reverberated like a furious dragon’s roar!
His explosive outburst of vital energy blazed with light and heat, as if he grasped the very sun in his hand!
In the clash, even the Vajra Primate, empowered with Vital Radiance, was shattered into explosive bursts of blood mist!
Howl—!!!
Nevertheless, five more Vajra Apes emerged from the scrolls, charging relentlessly. Their overwhelming aura turned even the raindrops ferocious.
Su Wenxi’s eyes narrowed as he sensed the absurdity of it all!
Yet another five flawed Fifth Elder-tier mechanical beasts had been replicated—while they barely posed a threat individually, their numbers were overwhelming!
The Underworld…
The Underworld!
And that sneaky You Liqing, who turned his Zhangba Snake Halberd into a demonic python to assault, had returned!
You Liqing…
He’s alive?!
Earlier, his manipulation of the forces of Heaven and Earth had clearly smashed You Liqing to pieces…
Yet now, he was back with relentless vigor!
“Can’t kill him?”
“What on Earth is going on?!”
But Su Wenxi didn’t dwell on it. If one blow wouldn’t kill him, then a hundred blows, even a thousand, would!
He was determined to finish him off!
Screech—!!!
Like the cry of a falcon, a cutting sound ripped through the air!
It was as if the blazing sun hung in the sky, radiating brilliant light!
Fist light spanned, the power of Heaven and Earth descended, and vital energy burst forth like fireworks, roaring fiercely!
Boom, boom, boom—
Five Vajra Apes encircled Su Wenxi, each colliding in an explosive barrage that splintered ink stains everywhere!
You Liqing’s Zhangba Snake Halberd surged forth again, aiming ruthlessly to pierce Su Wenxi’s forehead.
But Su Wenxi’s fist clenched, gripping the Zhangba Snake Halberd with unyielding force.
Then,
Su Wenxi’s eyes rolled as he braced himself.
Boom—!!!!!!
A terrifying explosion split the air!
He looked down at his chest; before he knew it, a water-drop shaped, blood-colored Bodhi carving resembling a dragon tooth had torn through his flesh, spinning rapidly and unleashing an unparalleled, nightmarish penetrating power!
“This is… Underworld Ma Mian!”
Ma Mian, lurking in the shadows some miles away, had fired a hidden arrow aimed at piercing the Martial Saint’s flesh!
“Pathetic!”
The wounded flesh of Su Wenxi’s chest, though caved in, continued to writhe and overlap, with his meticulously tempered bones clinging together like an impenetrable armor!
Yet in the next moment,
His eyes narrowed!
He beheld two terrifying Thunder Dragons barreling towards him!
A menacing threat built up that made his temples throb with pressure.
“Not good!”
“Another mechanism!”
Su Wenxi’s gaze darkened as his energy exploded, his foot stomping the already ruined ground as if an earth dragon had reared up!
Dust and debris burst forth as he struggled to evade the swift, bolt-like blue lightning strikes!
Yet,
At that moment, You Liqing intervened furiously to block his escape.
The demonic python roared, crashing down overhead, his form descending as his clenched fist lashed out in a desperate, life-for-a-life attack!
It was as if he wagered his life!
But having witnessed You Liqing’s miraculous revival before, Su Wenxi was incensed. He refused to believe that any life-for-a-life tactic could save him!
Moreover, with five more Vajra Apes encroaching…
There was no time!
Caught in You Liqing’s grip and blocked by the Vajra Apes, the two blue lightning Thunder Dragons descended with the force of falling thunder!
He could only… bear the full brunt of it!
Su Wenxi simply refused to believe…
That such a mechanism could kill a Martial Saint?!
Not even the illustrious Tang Family could, unless it was an unparalleled mechanical beast!
“Then come on!”
With one mighty punch, he sent You Liqing flying like a cannonball!
Su Wenxi’s dark hair whipped in a mad frenzy as he inverted and roared, arms flung wide!
A terrifying surge of blazing, jewel-like vital energy erupted from his body, like a volcano spewing fire that incinerated all in its path!
With each heavy step forward, it was as if Heaven and Earth trembled, and a pillar of energy descended!
He summoned the forces of Heaven and Earth!
Like a demonic god, he swung his fists in a furious charge, facing the two Thunder Dragons head-on!
And as he drew near, Su Wenxi realized—those were not Thunder Dragons!
They were two massive, water-drop-shaped mechanisms!
Nearly transparent, within them countless boiling chess pieces jittered, as if an avalanche was about to erupt atop a towering peak!
Su Wenxi’s eyes flashed as his heart pounded with dreadful force!
Within his chest, that terrifying heart burst with explosive power—an imminent crisis…
It grew ever more intense!
At last, in Mo City, through the Martial Saint’s innate perception, he sensed a threat that could end his life!
It was as if a giant hammer pounded, forcing his heart to pump out horrifying torrents of blood, his flesh swelling rapidly!
It was as if he had been lifted ten feet high!
The divine seeds in his back surged to their utmost limits!
Su Wenxi’s eyes blazed with an incandescent white as he entered the unique state of a Martial Saint!
Gripping tightly, he channeled columns of energy from Heaven and Earth and unleashed a devastating palm strike!
Boom—
Boom—!!!
Two explosions in rapid succession!
One after the other!
Endless light, shockwaves, and obliterating torrents of destructive energy burst forth, channeled by scorching divine power!
Unceasing radiance, unending heat!
Explosions erupted as two enormous, half-compressed light orbs expanded continuously…
A deafening blast that could shatter a person’s bones slowly began to reverberate!
It was as if, high above, endless thunder collided, crashing down to earth with world-altering force!
The entirety of Mo City trembled violently in that moment.
A mighty ring of rippling energy blasted through, shattering the ground beneath the expanding light orbs. The seemingly slow fracturing happened in an instant, turning stones into dust!
Countless buildings in Mo City, as if made of paper, collapsed in a thunderous ruin—like willow trees swaying in a storm, uprooted in an instant!
The ground, like the surface of a lake struck by a massive boulder, churned relentlessly, fragile yet overwhelmed!
……
……
Rumble, rumble!
The heavens and earth flipped as the tremors persisted!
Countless ink raindrops evaporated; the ink clouds of the dome were torn asunder as two enormous mushroom clouds arose from the ground, merging into a colossal twin-mushroom cloud!
Rising over a hundred feet high!
Scorching, obliterating!
This was the most massive mushroom cloud Li Che had ever unleashed!
Every Extreme Collapse Avalanche Guanyin Lotus Bullet contained the destructive force equivalent to a hundred divine chess pieces from the Divine Essence realm!
The simultaneous detonation of two Guanyin Lotus Bullets, combined with the prodigious thrust from the main battle tank, released an explosive shockwave!
Li Che believed…
Even a Martial Saint, no matter how immortal, would eventually peel away their skin!
Even the Blood-Yang Nine Divine Vajra Ape would be unable to stand—absolutely unable!
Fortunately, Li Che had already forced the Vajra Primate’s main body to retreat.
Ma Mian, with a sniper shot from the Bloodfire Bodhi Barrett, aided by the relentless assault of the replicated Painted Immortal Vajra Apes and the undying You Liqing who blocked the Martial Saint’s movements, increased the accuracy of the lotus bullet’s impact!
Li Che pulled his Bamboo Hat low as he flashed his cute Ogre Mask.
His eyes suddenly flared with electric brightness, interwoven with raging light!
He watched as explosions erupted continuously, sending massive clouds of dust and shattered stones flying!
A terrifying twin-mushroom cloud explosion surged with shockwaves spanning tens, hundreds, even thousands of feet!
On his towering, massive frame, streaks of blood-red lightning interwove, as if patterns blossomed across his flesh!
The nascent divine power: Tower Ascension!
Within the confines of a Mud Pellet’s inner chamber, the Luminous True Primate roared with Fa Tian Xiang Di!
The power of the Temple Spirit surged wildly.
Behind the Ogre, his hair whipped like a cape as robust streams of vital energy coiled around his towering frame!
The divine power transformed yet again into Dragon Elephant Vajra!
Howl!
Neigh—!!!
The roars of dragons and elephants clashed!
The divine, colossal dragons whirled in a frenzied dance!
After the convergence of dragon and elephant forms!
Li Che charged forward with explosive speed!
Employing the Martial Saint supreme technique, Lingxu Baqi Steps!
The first step was but a modest shuffle.
The second step was akin to an adult striding effortlessly.
The third step covered over a hundred meters!
Then!
Li Che transformed into the Ogre and unleashed a staggering burst of speed as he charged ahead!
The fourth step… the fifth step…
The sixth step, the seventh step!
In that moment!
Time itself seemed to freeze!
The overwhelming shockwaves, the colossal twin-mushroom clouds—they all became a frozen tableau!
The eighth step!
The entirety of Mo City…
Seemed to split into two distinct halves around the eight afterimages left by the charging Ogre!
