Chapter 463: Fury of the Underworld

An abrupt explosion stunned everyone.

A colossal surge swallowed the pitch-black portal of Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme, as deathly darkness intertwined with inky shadows, as if to absorb every trace of light!

Many formidable cultivators who had been watching Fang Han Shu couldn’t help but have their gazes drawn to that sprawling black gate.

A single gate, yet it completely enveloped Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme, not betraying even the slightest hint of its aura!

“Underworld!”

A deep, resonant voice echoed.

It was the austere ascetic from the Western Lands of Buddhism, whose golden cicada-like patterns burned like flames, his monk robes fluttering as a magnificent pressure surged from him.

In his eyes, it seemed as if two fiery cicadas were incessantly beating their wings as he fixed his gaze upon the portal of Fengdu in the Underworld.

He also noticed the Divine Monkey standing atop that gate.

“Is the Underworld about to make a move?”

Zhang Wuji, the Patriarch of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, twirled his dao robe and flicked his dust-whip, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme had been dragged into Mo City Fengdu, and Zhang Wuji was naturally untroubled by it.

Yet the Underworld left a deep impression on him—back in Divine Capital, he had personally witnessed his own disciples being slain by Underworld members.

Li Che, being Underworld Ma Mian, was connected to the Underworld, but even Zhang Wuji couldn’t fathom the true origins of that mysterious power.

“Is the Underworld acting for Qitian?”

“It seems… the Underworld is deeply linked with Yulian!”

“So behind the Underworld stands Yulian?”

Zhang Wuji’s eyes narrowed in contemplation.

“Yulian is backing the Underworld? Impossible… As the divine tides just rose and deities from all factions returned, those from the Yulian camp, unminded by any escort, would naturally be the last to return. No faction would want them back.”

Guanyin, the rarely speaking woman, softly interjected.

She hailed from South Sea Purple Bamboo Grove, an enigmatic sect of the Divine Sect.

Zhang Wuji gave her a long, piercing look, their gazes colliding in mid-air.

Clearly, behind both of them stood deities from the Bizarre Temple faction. In truth, any force that could rise in the mortal realm and suppress an area was supported by even greater powers.

That was why they were convinced that a formidable force lurked behind the Underworld.

And every move the Underworld had made—whether protecting Yulian’s daughter or striking now for Qitian—pointed in that direction.

“Forget it. The Underworld has hauled off that colossal black bull. As long as it doesn’t affect us, it’s fine.”

The ascetic with golden cicada patterns turned his head, his eyes settling back on the steadily rising aura around Fang Han Shu.

With one step forward, a brilliant Buddha-like radiance enveloped him, as though his body were cloaked in a gilded sheen, invincible as diamond.

Countless sparks burst forth—a manifestation of calamity fire.

“This man has borrowed power from Gongshu Ghost Valley. Do not underestimate him—Gongshu Ghost Valley can harness the will of heaven and earth, and that is truly terrifying!”

“Don’t let him gain momentum!”

Boom—!!!

The ascetic charged forward, ignoring the Underworld entirely.

He fixed his target directly on Fang Han Shu.

Meanwhile, the former emperor of Great Realm, Lü Wenchang, also struck, brandishing a flag spear that sent shockwaves trembling through the void.

The Witch God Mountain’s priest, Zhang Wuji of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, and Guanyin from South Sea Purple Bamboo Grove all attacked in quick succession.

The five Demon God Supreme cultivators at the Second Calamity stage unleashed their might before the portal of Bizarre Temple, warping space as if it were being violently snapped and stretched.

Fang Han Shu’s majestic spear trembled in his hand, his aura surging as he broke through the Second Calamity fetters. His body glowed white, each cell and spirit amped to the extreme!

The spear’s gleam flashed like white lightning as it vibrated, compressing turbulent qi and unleashing a deafening sonic boom as he ruthlessly charged at the five allied deities!

The devastating surge was so overwhelming it seemed to carve white shockwaves through space itself!

Thud—!!!

Fang Han Shu’s hair flew wildly, his unruly beard swinging as he straightened his back, his scholar’s robe taut as steel.

Battle fury surged within him!

The shattered turtle shell effect made it seem as though, in that moment, he had drawn upon the will of heaven and earth itself!

A transcendent, oppressive might filled the air!

His eyes burst forth with resplendent white light, fearlessness etched on his face.

He knew that attempting to kill the five Second Calamity deities was nearly impossible.

All Fang Han Shu aimed to do was delay them!

He planned only to hold out until the ancestral master of the Fang Clan broke the supreme restrictions of all factions and returned to Qitian Temple.

After all, the Fang ancestor had transformed into a terrifying, Supreme-level protector of the temple at the Third Calamity!

Facing the Fang ancestor, the five Second Calamity deities would be crushed by his mere aura.

The two sides existed on entirely different planes!

“Fight!”

Fang Han Shu was enveloped in a majestic aura, his back as straight as a soaring dragon!

Even though he was a scholar, scholars can also…

Wield a spear to slaughter bandits!

His battle blood dyed the sky blue!

…

…

Boom—!!!

Mo City Fengdu!

A spectacular explosion!

A gigantic black bull crashed down with thunderous force, leaving spiderweb-like rifts scorched across the entire surface of Mo City!

The massive web nearly covered the entire Mo City Fengdu plaza!

A formidable, fearsome pressure surged, making the very air moan in uneasy lamentation—as if on the brink of obliteration!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

Boiling blood intertwined as Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme slowly rose. Demonic aura clung to him, accentuating the curved, razor-sharp tips of his bull horns!

His bronzed, bell-like eyes suddenly flared open, unleashing a burst of scarlet light.

“Are you begging for death—!!!”

The demonic aura on him had been shredded in many places, revealing raw, torn flesh and ghastly wounds that still oozed blood.

Even though he was a Second Calamity Demon God Supreme, caught off guard by a surprise backstab from a Third Calamity Demon God, he couldn’t react in time.

The shock was overwhelming—who could have imagined that amidst the rigid hierarchy of demons, at such a crucial moment of combined battle in Qitian City, even his fellow demon generals would turn on him!

Who could have predicted it?!

Even now, Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme could not calm his racing heart, unable to accept or understand it!

Endless fury surged like a breaking dam, battering his spirit as his qi and blood roiled out of control!

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz—

In an instant, four figures converged around him. Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme lifted his head sharply; gripping the massive Jia Hai Purple Golden Beam with one hand, his gaze locked onto the four demon gods.

Besides, he also eyed a colossal, fierce demon beast off to the side. Its sheer ferocity sent a shock of intense impact through him!

A demon beast—an utterly ferocious brute!

It was none other than Fan Hai Jiuying, its four heads wildly flailing, making Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme’s eyes tremble incessantly!

This Underworld…

“You… are asking for death!”

Yet Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme fixed his gaze on the four demon gods. Though not all were his subordinates, among them was his underling—the Blue Lion Demon God, who had betrayed him with the most vicious strike!

That was why he harbored such abhorrence and fury!

“Die—!!!”

A torrent of demonic aura exploded like a roped stream as his massive form surged forward, displacing the air like a collapsing mountain!

Boom—!

Mo City’s ground shattered under Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme’s stomp, cracks sprawling in every direction as scorching heat burst upward!

The Second Calamity Demon God Supreme launched his full might, appearing in front of the Blue Lion Demon God in an instant. The Blue Lion roared, transforming into his true form—a mountain of might!

Boom!

Amid earth-shattering clamor, an intensely pure force suddenly erupted from the Jia Hai Purple Golden Beam!

The Blue Lion Demon God bellowed and smashed his palm, shattering everything in its path!

It was as if the force of a celestial torrent poured forth from the beam, instantly filling the space around him for a hundred feet!

The intense shock rippled space with intricate fractures!

Frenzied and wild, it raged like the most violent tornado in existence, set on obliterating everything!

The Blue Lion’s roar was cut short as he was blasted to pieces!

With a resounding crunch, blood splattered, decomposing into countless tiny particles, merging into billowing ink-like mist!

Yet Spirit Water Demon God, Nine-Eyed Demon God, Giant Claw Demon God, and that dreadful, peerless beast showed no fear of Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme’s overwhelming Second Calamity aura!

Waves of demonic energy, like swirling pillars of smoke, surged into the skies over Mo City Fengdu, making the already dark city even darker!

“Scram!”

With a fierce shout, as forceful as a cannonball crashing down and detonating, blood-red energy soared skyward. Demonic aura entwined, boiling blood surged as the Jia Hai Purple Golden Beam violently swept about like a tempest!

Boom, boom, boom, boom——

Only Fan Hai Jiuying managed to withstand such a fearsome and overbearing assault from the colossal black bull!

The other three demon gods were also heavily injured.

“A bunch of trash—who do you think you are to come at me?!”

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme’s horns thrust skyward as his bovine frame expanded to five meters. Enveloped in swirling demonic aura with thick, serpentine muscles coiling over bulging flesh,

he hoisted the massive Jia Hai Purple Golden Beam, his head held high in a haughty sneer of disdain and cold contempt.

“The Underworld is nothing special!”

The five Second Calamity, One Calamity Demon Gods were completely crushed by Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme in one blow!

“Trash like you dare to disturb me by stealing the corpse of Qitian, wasting my time and making me miss the chance to seize the Ruyi Golden Staff!”

“But Fang Han Shu, along with that monster Gongshu Ghost Valley working with Grand Inspector, should be able to stall things for a while. Once I’m done with you, I’ll return immediately. I should still make it in time!”

Then,

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme suddenly lifted his head, his scarlet eyes unleashing two beams of searing red energy.

Gazing toward a distant, towering rectangular building,

he spotted a slender figure standing atop it, clad in a Divine Monkey Mask with flowing golden hair.

“Underworld Divine Monkey…”

A ferocious glint surged in Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme’s eyes.

“Does the Underworld not have a Yama or Ghost Emperor? What’s the point of you, a mere monkey, joining the fray? Call out your Underworld leaders and prepare to die!”

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme roared haughtily.

In truth, he well deserved that arrogance.

He refused to believe that the Underworld could harbor a Supreme-level powerhouse. Every renowned mortal Supreme had a name and face—there was no way the Underworld could have one!

Li Che, wearing his Divine Monkey Mask that completed his Qi Tian Face, felt his spirit surge with wild abandon.

Facing the almost tangible, blood-red glare of the colossal bull,

Li Che returned his gaze coolly, his murderous intent glaring without a hint of concealment.

For this creature intended to seize his daughter and deliver her like a prized offering to the twisted demonic lair of Bizarre Temple—to curry favor with the demon Supremes and various gods…

all Li Che felt was burning rage and a thirst for blood.

It was the same murderous intent he had once felt when he first encountered Lingying Sect in his weaker days. He knew well that Lingying Sect’s depraved target was his daughter. Thus, he held back nothing in unleashing his wrath!

The colossal bull swung the Jia Hai Purple Golden Beam, slowly rotating as it aimed squarely at Li Che, who stood atop the Dominator Tower.

“Die already!”

With a savage roar, tumultuous winds erupted, and as the inky rain cascaded from the sky, it shattered into countless fragments in the wake of Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme’s ferocious bellow, dissolving into dense, dark mist!

Boom—

The massive, boat-like hoof slammed down, fracturing the ground instantly as scalding heat burst forth!

The colossal bull began to charge with thunderous steps, its oppressive force fracturing the air before it, as it barreled forward with the Jia Hai Purple Golden Beam, like a mountain rolling down!

No fancy techniques—just pure crushing impact!

Determined to grind everything into oblivion!

Its massive bulk, overwhelming flesh, and razor-sharp horns, along with an indomitable aura, sent the black bull’s speed and overwhelming power surging forward as it slammed into the Divine Monkey atop the Dominator Tower!

Crush it!

Kill them all!

Obliterate everything!

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme bellowed!

Yet…

Li Che, standing on the Dominator Tower, slowly raised his hand and clenched his fingers tightly!

In an instant—

The charging bull’s body jolted abruptly, its fierce eyes wide as its internal qi and blood began to spiral out of control!

Its forward momentum, though still powerful, suddenly slowed considerably!

Boom!

The colossal bull’s heavy step ground down. As it looked upon its own formidable flesh—wounds inflicted by backstabbed strikes from four demon gods revealed innumerable streams of black blood that began to writhe…

Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss—

The seething black blood transformed into long, wriggling centipedes that crawled out from the wounds!

“What is this…”

“Poison?!”

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme’s eyes bulged. Damn it… for a Demon God Supreme, poison was almost a foreign concept!

At this level of combat, who still used poison!

Isn’t the Underworld supposed to pride itself on heroic might?

How could they stoop to using such vile, underhanded means?!

“Ah—!!!”

In that moment, Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme felt the black blood swell, coalescing into dense, thick centipedes that wrapped around his body like chains!

His massive frame shook violently as his scarlet eyes seemed to have serpents crawling all over them.

“You… are despicable!”

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

All around, the four demon gods who had been shattered reformed—Blue Lion Demon God, Spirit Water Demon God, Nine-Eyed Demon God, and Giant Claw Demon God—each looking on with cold indifference.

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme staggered, disoriented.

The poison was extremely potent; it even induced hallucinations…

The very demon gods he had slain earlier were now reassembling before him!

Damn…

In that moment, his once furious qi, which had flowed unrestrained, was now being overwhelmed by poisonous attacks!

Li Che, his face cold and merciless, clenched his fingers as the Freewill Gold-Iron Divine Staff fell into his hand in an instant.

He glanced into the distance.

There—

Poison Saint Gu Yinxuan donned the traditional attire of a refined alchemist, a jet-black poison pill rising behind him—a Nine-Turn Ascending Dragon Pill.

The poison pill spun continuously as toxic mists spread.

Moreover, Black Bull suddenly felt the wound on his back—betrayed by the backstab—balloon violently. In the next moment, his contorted flesh morphed into a gigantic toad!

It seemed intent on crushing him under its weight!

But for Black Bull, these twin toxins were hardly a problem; it was the centipede toxin targeting his heart that threatened to snuff out his life!

Had it not been for the formidable strength of a Second Calamity Demon God Supreme, any One Calamity, Three Tribulation Demon God would have already fallen!

At the very least, that cursed Underworld poison!

Li Che’s fingers tightened around his Treasure Stick as golden qi exploded from his body. The Dragon Elephant Vajra fused behind him, and eight blazing orbs soared upward!

Eight Mysterious Gates Divine Seed… and then an explosion!

Seven Divine Seeds and one Celestial Seed!

Though the Thousand Mountain Lone Wanderer Sky-Cleaving Blade had transformed into a Celestial Seed and another martial art technique—Fragmented South Heaven—had coalesced into a Celestial Seed Martial Art,

these two Celestial Seeds had yet to complete their transformation within the Eight Mysterious Gates!

But Li Che’s state was already at its peak, amplified by the Qi Tian Face!

Boom—

With everyone united,

Mo City Domination!

Li Che harnessed the power of Mo City Domination, and in an instant endless, inky rivers coiled around him.

Armies of demon gods—Blue Lion, Spirit Water, Nine-Eyed, and Giant Claw Demon Gods—and numerous Spiritual Confinement forces swarmed relentlessly toward him.

His Martial Immortal Golden Body trembled as his Golden Vital Energy exploded, now 20% stronger, effortlessly withstanding the onslaught of Spiritual Confinement forces!

The Cosmic Chessboard unfurled!

In that instant, it enveloped all of Mo City.

A subtle shift in Li Che’s mind, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from the Dominator Tower.

The formation was complete—his schemes fully set!

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme, as planned, had been betrayed, poisoned, and now his strength plummeted to unprecedented feebleness!

From now on, Li Che had no choice but to battle him head-on!

If even in this state Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme could not be killed despite his myriad measures, then Li Che would consider abandoning cultivation altogether!

With Feilei Shift, he reappeared in an instant!

Black Bull’s body was ravaged by toxic centipedes made of countless bones. His furious eyes blazed; he now had to expend nearly all his qi and spirit to suppress the toxins. The venomous tendrils that clung like shackles were gradually being subdued!

Boom—!

The Jia Hai Purple Golden Beam in his hand crashed down as brilliant golden energy erupted in a dazzling display, clashing ferociously with the Divine Monkey!

When his Treasure Stick struck with a crisp chime, as if an ancient bell was tolling, shockwaves reverberated!

Li Che’s eyes shone with incandescent golden smoke!

An invisible field expanded all around him. Atop his head, a chessboard unfurled; at his feet, another expanded!

Above was the Cosmic Chessboard, below the Heaven-Defying Half-step!

A hundred-foot Divine Domain expanded, engulfing Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme, who felt a shiver of alarm as his previously declining cultivation, dragged down like a sliding stone, plummeted as if he were being thrown into a lake tethered by a massive weight!

It made his hair stand on end—utterly terrifying!

Yet the terrifying force of calamitous destruction twisted around him like lightning. A demon pill rotated again and again!

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme bellowed as the Calamity Wheel reappeared behind him, its surface inlaid with continuously spinning demon pills!

He managed to barely hold back the force that threatened to drag his cultivation down!

But inevitably, his condition wavered!

Li Che’s gaze turned icy as golden smoke blazed; his golden hair, flowing like a massive cloak, whipped violently as countless staff silhouettes intertwined!

Celestial Seed—and the Qi Tian Staff!

A move named Shattered South Heaven!

A move named Fallen Immortal Furnace!

A move named Step Above the Clouds!

A flurry of staff shadows erupted, violently slamming into Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme!

“Beg for death!”

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme’s face remained as cold as ice. How could a Second Calamity Demon God Supreme be driven to such a pitiful state by a cultivator who hadn’t even reached the Second Calamity stage!

Indeed, Black Bull saw that the Underworld Divine Monkey had no power equivalent to a Second Calamity Demon God!

Yet it left him utterly humiliated!

Li Che, however, did not respond. Behind his Qi Tian Face, his spirit roared unabashedly as he transformed into an agile, ancient Divine Monkey. Staff shadows exploded, shattering the air as they spun and filled every inch of the void!

Within his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit pounded like battle drums!

Only in the fiercest battles does one achieve true growth!

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme was formidable; even if Li Che exhausted all his stratagems, he still couldn’t subdue him—only a bloody, head-on clash would do!

After all, Black Bull’s raw strength was overwhelming!

The gulf between the Second and One Calamity realms was a vast chasm!

Two torrents of calamitous power erupted from the splitting Calamity Wheel as Black Bull roared—like two deadly serpents lunging to devour Li Che’s flesh and life force!

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—

Ferocious clashes and shockwaves battered on relentlessly. Mo City Fengdu’s already tattered ground, once crumbled gravel, was ground down into mere dust by the overwhelming might!

Li Che, with his Qi Tian Face, leaped horizontally, his foot striking the ground and causing deep craters as he catapulted forward once more!

The Qilin Sealing Inscription!

A gigantic Qilin trampled through the void, manifesting as a massive seal that pounded down fiercely!

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme roared, pushing with a fist that shattered the seal as the Calamity Wheel’s cracks reappeared behind him!

Li Che clenched his fingers, demonic aura surging as the writhing Yin-Yang Demon Blade seemed to burst with countless pores, inhaling gargantuan amounts of demonic energy with every breath!

Demonic Immortal Nine Transitions!

It was as if Li Che had transformed into an upper-level demon himself, his overwhelming aura pressing down on the great black bull!

The Thousand Mountain Lone Wanderer Sky-Cleaving Blade!

Boom—

Various techniques unfolded in a dazzling display!

Every method of martial annihilation was employed!

Li Che felt his battle spirit surge ever higher. Within his chest, the Dao Fruit pounded like war drums, and every inch of his skin trembled.

His Martial Immortal Golden Body erupted to its ultimate limit, with golden blood oozing from every pore!

Kill!

Li Che felt his martial spirit ignite like wildfire!

The power of calamitous destruction merged with his Celestial Seed, unleashing a lethal strike!

The original Calamity Fire transformed into Dragon Elephant power, merging with the Qilin Sealing Inscription to shatter space in an instant—even if it later healed, it remained utterly astonishing!

Meanwhile, the original Calamity Wind merged with the Thousand Mountain Lone Wanderer Sky-Cleaving Blade, combining with the Yin-Yang Demon Blade to continuously slice out fearsome blade auras!

It cut gashes upon the flesh of Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme!

Both sides fought as if teetering on the brink of madness!

But Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme began to grow excited!

For as time passed, the strength that had been dragged down by poison started to recover!

He was getting used to the tactics of the Underworld Divine Monkey!

As for the shattered Calamity Wheel, it would slowly mend later!

Now, Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme had only one thought: to kill the Underworld Divine Monkey!

“Devour!”

Li Che’s gaze turned cold as he unleashed a flurry of strikes with his staff, the Thunder Demon Three-Pronged Twin-Edged Blade manifesting in a burst of slashing light as the Yin-Yang Demon Blade cleaved wide!

It was as if every last method was being exhausted!

Li Che then glanced toward the distance, issuing a cold command to Fan Hai Jiuying!

The Blue Lion, Spirit Water, Nine-Eyed, and Giant Claw Demon Gods of the One Calamity stage surged forward at his behest, rushing to devour Fan Hai Jiuying!

Li Che aimed to create an unparalleled Second Calamity masterpiece!

Though it felt like a desperate last-minute effort,

once Li Che finished giving orders, he immersed himself back into the fight. His martial spirit soared to new heights!

Boom—!!!

His entire body burst into flames of blood as though clad in golden armor!

With a mighty roar,

the Golden Heavenly Gate soared forth!

The Heavenly Gate swung open, revealing a peerless Martial Immortal seated within!

“What?!”

The colossal black bull, who had maintained a calm visage, suddenly transformed in a shocking manner!

“How can this be?!”

He stared in disbelief at the Divine Monkey.

This Divine Monkey…

Isn’t he even below the level of a Martial God?!

The Heavenly Gate opened—yet before entering, he had already shed his old form to become a Martial God?!

This Divine Monkey… is merely a Martial Saint?!

Damn it!

What kind of monster is this?

To dare challenge a Second Calamity Demon God Supreme with a Martial Saint’s body?!

This world must surely be broken somewhere!

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme’s mind reeled in shock!

But in the very next moment, his killing intent surged even more fiercely—he must kill no matter what!

By any means necessary, he would slay this monster!

For the future potential of such a terrifying creature was limitless, destined to become a Supreme!

Now, having pissed off such a monster, he could not rest until it was dead!

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme’s body swelled, transforming into a gigantic true form of the black bull—a towering mountain that crushed Mo City into ruins!

Meanwhile, Li Che, still wearing his Divine Monkey Mask, soared upward. With his blood staining the mask, it almost seemed animate!

Li Che’s martial spirit boiled over, as if taking on a tangible force!

Boom—!!!

Within the open Heavenly Gate, it was as if a Martial Immortal peered down!

Li Che watched as the black bull transformed into his true Demon God form, his battle intent surging like raging fires up to the heavens.

His spine erupted in radiant brilliance!

Like the back of a dragon, eight mysterious orifices hung in suspension!

Li Che’s mind stirred slightly as he chose to merge the Celestial Seed of the Thousand Mountain Lone Wanderer Sky-Cleaving Blade into his Eight Mysterious Gates!

But channeling a Celestial Seed through the Eight Mysterious Gates was far more difficult than he’d imagined.

Moreover, amidst this fierce battle, performing the channeling was even more challenging!

Li Che’s body seethed with boiling qi as he faced the towering black bull. The black bull roared, and the Calamity Wheel—like a blazing sun of demon energy—hurtled toward Li Che!

It sought to crush Li Che into oblivion with the sheer force of its true form!

Yet Li Che’s eyes burned with golden fire as he stared at the black bull.

Step by step, he ascended, striding across the expansive Golden Heavenly Gate!

Each step planted golden qi that burst forth like golden lotuses in the void!

Every step birthed a lotus!

Boom—!!!

In a series of nine giant leaps, Li Che appeared before the Golden Heavenly Gate.

With a mighty roar!

The Thousand Mountain Lone Wanderer Sky-Cleaving Blade and the Step Above the Clouds Celestial Seed Martial Art!

They merged into his spine, transforming into the Eight Mysterious Gates Celestial Seed!

Boom—

Li Che’s palms slammed against the Golden Heavenly Gate, causing the invisible barrier to shatter under the force of two Celestial Seeds colliding!

In that instant, he was propelled into the Heavenly Gate!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The massive black bull crashed uncontrollably into empty space, its feet trampling shattered stones!

In the distance,

Fan Hai Jiuying roared, his heads once again wildly flailing!

The four demon gods merged into two heads, while Fan Hai Jiuying, with six frenzied heads, wreaked devastation, breaking free and attaining the power of the Second Calamity!

Black Bull’s heart skipped a beat!

It jerked its head upward sharply.

For a powerful crisis loomed—not from the Second Calamity Fan Hai Jiuying,

but from that very Golden Heavenly Gate!

Then, a golden figure leapt out from within the gate!

The illusory Martial Immortal behind it vanished without a trace…

And instead, it merged completely with that golden figure!

The Underworld Divine Monkey…

He had now crossed into the Heavenly Gate!

Capturing the essence of Martial Immortal cultivation!

Has he broken through from Martial Saint to Martial Immortal?!

Boom—!!!

Li Che strode out, his Qi Tian Face screaming with piercing intensity!

Li Che felt an unprecedented clarity and ease!

His massive dragon-spined back roared like a beast!

Five Divine Seeds and three Celestial Seeds!

They spun rapidly, until finally…

Boom! An explosion akin to a brilliant star ignited!

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme could only feel as if a blazing orb had burst above him!

Billions of radiant beams shone, dazzling to the extreme!

It was the force of his own unleashed qi!

A torrent of energy poured down!

It slammed onto Black Bull’s back like a relentless comet!

Black Bull transformed into his ultimate demonic true form—so enormous that there was nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape!

Despair instantly shone in his eyes.

It was over…

Boom—!!!

A fist crashed down upon his back!

Skin, flesh, and bone rippled like surging waves.

Black Bull Demon God Supreme Supreme bellowed!

Then another fist struck!

His entire body’s qi and blood boiled away, the suppressed poison now unable to hold back as countless venomous centipedes erupted across his frame!

Then yet another blow!

Black Bull coughed up a river of black blood!

At last, his eyes betrayed a look of sheer terror!

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud—

Across the ruined Mo City Fengdu!

Li Che’s face was cold as he continued to rain down blow after blow!

The deep, drumming sound of his strikes resonated endlessly.

Boom—!!!

Amid a cry of despair,

the Second Calamity Demon God Supreme of the Ten Thousand Great Rivers was brutally hammered into oblivion!
