Chapter 517: The Torrents of Divine Essence
by xennovelDivine power surged like a raging tide, cascading like a waterfall in a blur!
Fifteen Divine Transformations!
All emerging from one mortal body!
A spectacle unseen by countless souls! A marvel lost to the ages!
No one could have imagined that Li Che, the mortal Martial Immortal, would also cultivate divine essence—how could that be?
Martial Immortal, Martial Immortal… a form so pure must remain untouched by any divine essence to truly be a Martial Immortal!
Perhaps long ago Li Che had dabbled in the realm of divine essence, but when he reached the peak of Martial Saint and shattered the Heavenly Gate en route to the Martial Immortal realm, he was forced to abandon it!
For once a Martial Immortal becomes tainted with divine essence, that essence becomes like poison, corrupting the Martial Immortal’s flesh and collapsing their martial path, preventing further advancement!
The Martial Immortal form would break down, lose its purity, and no longer be favored by the natural martial fortune!
So when the assembled deities and supreme powerhouses witnessed Li Che’s brow splitting open as he unleashed one Divine Transformation after another, they were dumbfounded and bewildered.
Moreover…
This Martial Immortal managed to unleash not one—but fifteen Divine Transformations!
So many Divine Transformations converging in one body—who could have foreseen such an occurrence?
Not only did he gather the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Divine Transformations, but there was even one resembling the Cosmic Chessboard Divine Transformation of the Luminous True Primate—almost as if it rivaled Qitian’s divine essence!
Simply monstrous!
Boom, boom, boom, boom—!
Waves of divine essence surged forth from the shattered Divine Transformations, erupting like water bursting through a broken dam, roaring and exploding!
One Divine Transformation after another crumbled—Fa Tian Xiang Di Luminous True Primate, Lv Xuan Sword Immortal’s Divine Transformation, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Divine Transformation…
They shattered into countless fragments, fissures spreading like cracks in stone.
That overwhelming divine power, though contained in Divine Transformations, had long surpassed the level of a divine calamity!
It was scarcely any less than that of the revered ones!
Every Divine Transformation in Li Che was rock-solid, immensely substantial, amassing divine essence in nearly infinite quantities.
It was as if he had been preparing for this day all along—while training in the martial path of a Martial Immortal, he simultaneously stored up divine essence, elevating his Divine Transformations to an almost absurd level!
“He’s lost his mind!”
Su Da’s bewitching eyes widened in shock; as a deity, she never imagined that her heart would tremble so wildly at this moment!
Countless divine energies battered Li Che’s Martial Immortal flesh like lethal toxins—merely a soak was enough to claim a life, snuffing out vitality entirely.
These divine energies slowly began to invade Li Che’s flesh, corrupting his Martial Immortal form and undoing the martial path he had painstakingly built!
Completely severing his path as a Martial Immortal!
The likes of Three-Form Golden Toad and the Great Jing Emperor, among other mighty figures, showed shock in their eyes.
“A Martial Immortal turning into a divine calamity? Even if it rivals the revered, so what? Facing us deities head-on is nearly impossible to oppose! What a foolish move!”
Upon the massive, mountain-like form of Three-Form Golden Toad, divine energy raged as divine flames burned behind him, casting thousands of dazzling lights.
The Great Jing Emperor narrowed his eyes, with his aura-wrapped Golden Dragon coiling around him, channeling the fate of the entire Great Realm as he, through Lü Litong’s flesh, launched his counterattack.
It could be considered one of the Great Jing Emperor’s trump cards.
Lü Litong was his very flesh and blood. Although many speculated that the so-called Third Prince might actually be Ji Mo Li’s offspring, in reality…
It wasn’t so.
After all, Ji Mo Li still held back a bit.
Yet Lü Litong’s very identity still kindled the Emperor’s disdain.
“Li Che… What a true Martial Immortal! Or perhaps, from this day forward, there will be no more Martial Immortals among mortals!”
“For five thousand years, you monopolized the martial fortune of the mortal realm only to squander it—channeling divine essence to corrupt your Martial Immortal form into that of a deity…”
“A waste beyond measure! Such a monstrous martial cultivation, meant only for momentary pleasure—a fleeting dalliance with the divine way!”
The Emperor narrowed his eyes.
Yet inside, a hint of delight stirred—the move unambiguously indicated that Li Che had exhausted his trump cards, his options dwindling, forcing him into this desperate measure to gain colossal power.
But the price was steep: his chance to ascend as a Martial Immortal was forever cut off!
He could only embark upon the divine path anew, and on that path…
At its end lay immortality!
Yet with immortality like a mountain crushing down, Li Che would never reach the end!
In the distance,
many fell silent.
The Grand Inspector blocked Ha Shen’s secret technique of the Great Way, his face suffused with immortal aura as his eyes flickered with astonishment.
It had finally come to this, hadn’t it?
The Xuan Turtle under him let out a heavy, mournful bellow—a sound like tidal waves, laced with sighs.
What a pity…
The mortal Martial Immortal had now sung his final lament!
Rumble, rumble—
The Third Prince, surrounded by swirling black lotus petals, seethed with rage, as if to incinerate the void and obliterate everything!
His emaciated, bloodless body boiled with seething murderous intent and formidable strength—a power so overwhelming it threatened to consume everything.
“You… all shall die!”
The Third Prince’s deep voice exploded!
In his rising fury, the divine energies surged into his body faster than ever!
As the deities struggling to restrain and suppress the Third Prince pressed on, they suddenly felt an enormous crushing pressure—a pressure so oppressive it stole their very breath.
It was felt even by the Three Sea Divine Dragon Kings, the heroic Arhat who sacrificed himself to activate the Seven-Tiered Treasure Pagoda, and the true form of Three-Form Golden Toad among other mighty figures—all overwhelmed by a dread-inspiring force!
Black flames raged—Yulian Fire—sweeping over the Third Prince’s flesh, etching bizarre divine patterns on his body, like designs carved out of a netherworld inferno.
The Third Prince seethed with anger; he believed that Li Che’s need to shatter his Divine Transformations and channel his divine essence onto his Martial Immortal flesh was all because of him.
The once formidable deity subdued by Yulian, after his recent resurrection felt utterly powerless—and that very weakness ignited the Third Prince’s wrath. If he could only accelerate his absorption of divine power, if his recovery could be quicker…
Black flames flickered in the Third Prince’s eyes like roaring waves!
He could almost envision the agony that Yulian’s daughter, upon learning that her father had forsaken the Martial Immortal path to tread the divine way, would endure…
Perhaps everything was about to revert to the beginning, and Yulian’s daughter might once again be forced onto her fated path…
The Third Prince now thought Yulian’s daughter was in a far better state than before.
Maybe this ever-raging divine tide could bring about change.
Boom—!!!
The terrifying Yulian Fire blazed with unprecedented ferocity!
Above the Heavenly Dome, countless bizarre omens appeared: interlaced black lightning and blood-red thunder coalesced into a torrential, crimson downpour!
It was a portent to mourn the fall of a deity!
Or perhaps it was due to the cataclysmic revival of that dreadful Temple Spirit in the form of the Third Prince!
“Stop him!”
“He’s getting desperate!”
“His mindset is shifting—the plan is still possible!”
The original form of Three-Form Golden Toad roared in delight despite his fury; even Yulian’s daughter’s father could unsettle the Third Prince’s composure—and what about Yulian’s daughter herself?
That only proved that their plan to use Yulian’s daughter as leverage against the Third Prince was indeed viable!
The Golden Toad roared as countless divine markings of the Great Way intertwined violently—its massive form resembling a mountain infused with divine aura. A divine spear burst forth from its mouth, unleashed in a display of radiant might!
The Three Sea, North Sea, and West Sea Divine Dragon Kings also bellowed thunderously; their roaring dragon cries shook the heavens. Scales began to crack, dropping crystalline dragon blood as they nearly incinerated themselves in a bid to block the Third Prince!
Elsewhere,
the Young Dragon Emperor, his face icy, wielded his Golden Great Dragon Spear in relentless practice. He battered the South Sea Dragon King’s armor into ruin, blood flowing like rivers, yet the South Sea Dragon King stubbornly held his ground—even risking his life!
He would stop at nothing!
The balance of power seemed to teeter as Li Che was forced to shatter his Divine Transformations and channel his divine essence into his Martial Immortal flesh. The atmosphere turned tense.
Countless gazes converged upon Li Che.
Many mortal cultivators showed regret and sorrow in their eyes.
……
……
Rumble, rumble—!!!
Divine essence cascaded like a waterfall hanging between heaven and earth!
Li Che stood rooted to the spot as torrents of divine energy erupted from his Divine Transformations, twisting around his body like coiling serpents—signaling an extraordinary metamorphosis.
Every one of the 36,000 pores in his flesh burst forth with divine radiance as his entire being underwent a cataclysmic transformation—a turning point in the Way!
His martial qi and blood merged with divine essence. On the verge of breaking through to the Martial Immortal realm, he was about to brush past into the realm of transcendent Martial Immortals and achieve the sublime. But now, all was collapsing!
Li Che’s mind felt trapped in an uncanny state. He could clearly sense his flesh changing—divine energy and celestial aura expanding at breakneck speed, turning his boundless qi and blood into divine qi!
This was the transformation from Martial Immortal to Martial God.
Rumble, rumble—
It felt as if the very heavens roared in his ears.
Channeling divine energy into his body, converting his Martial Immortal power into divine strength—each drop of his Martial Immortal qi, already so potent, multiplied manifold when transformed into divine qi!
Li Che could feel energy colliding persistently.
Massive potential transformed into even greater might!
He sensed a divine radiance seeping from deep within—his eyes bursting forth with dazzling divine brilliance. As the light spread, his gaze grew ever more intense, as if his mind had been unblocked and expanded!
Within his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit shook uncontrollably, its vibrations echoing like continuous humming.
In the distance, the phantom image of the Dragon Elephant seemed to materialize, as if emitting a long, mournful cry.
Yet the Pure Heart Dao Fruit, embedded between his brows, trembled violently as boundless Pure Heart divine energy surged forth, attempting to restrain the spreading changes upon his body.
Li Che drew a deep breath, his heart pounding furiously.
A fleeting glow appeared before his eyes.
[Dao Fruit: Pure Heart (lv7 60%)]
60%…65%…70%…
Rising, rising—further rising!
The maturity of the Dao Fruit surged at an almost unremitting pace before his eyes!
The speed was such that even the hairs on Li Che’s body stood on end—it was too fast!
Li Che never imagined that this method of severing his martial path—transforming his Martial Immortal flesh into a divine body—could yield such an enormous Pure Heart Dao Fruit transformation bonus!
It was mainly because all the divine energy within him…
All of it was being converted by the Pure Heart Dao Fruit into Pure Heart divine energy!
The Seven Aperture Luminous Heart trembled furiously, its roaring sound echoing like thunder and tides!
“Huu—”
“Suu—”
Li Che had long known that transforming from a Martial Immortal into a divine being would lead to a massive explosion in power.
But he never imagined the expansion would be so huge!
This self-severance of his future path came at a great cost—severing any chance of comprehending the profound mysteries of the martial Way or breaking heaven’s shackles has nothing to do with it.
The greater the price, the greater the power gained.
This world, at its core, is the law of equivalent exchange.
Vroom—!!!
In an instant, Li Che felt his flesh and blood dissolve into an endless expanse of energy—a boundless, overwhelming force that stretched beyond heaven and earth!
As the divine radiance swirled like a tidal wave pressing in from all sides!
A brilliant hum echoed throughout Jingguang City. At that moment, every onlooker’s eyes were irresistibly drawn to it!
The fifteen Divine Transformations behind Li Che shattered one after another, disintegrating into countless tiny, crystalline points of starlight that swept away,
All merging into Li Che’s flesh, swallowed up by every pore, every meridian!
And everyone could only see an extraordinarily dazzling radiance burst forth!
That light… so brilliant and overwhelming, like a blazing sun illuminating endless lands, clearing away all gloom!
Golden, flowing pure golden hues— even as Martial Immortal flesh merged with divine essence, golden blood still coursed through with all its purity!
In a daze, Li Che appeared as if he had transformed into a deity wielding endless light, seated serenely amid a shattering void—his radiance like the midday sun, magnificent and sacred!
On his back, seven Qimen Immortal Seeds were wildly transformed by the ravenous divine energy into an awe-inspiring Pure Heart divine aura!
Li Che even felt his mind become infinitely clear, as if it were completely connected with the heavens and earth.
He raised his head, as if he could see through the eerie mists and behold the swirling rivers of the Dao stretching across the bloodstained sky!
His gaze could even penetrate the vast expanse of the Inner Bizarre Temple, watching the endless river of the Dao twirling like chains, converging and surging in one direction!
There, Li Che vaguely saw one realm after another exuding rotating divine light!
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
It was an endless realm, partitioned as if by heavenly decree, each segment hosting a terrifying presence seated at its core—its crown radiating divine light in communion with the river of the Dao!
Bridging heaven and earth, he sat upon the endless river, surveying eternity!
Li Che’s gaze sharpened to a razor’s edge. He wanted to see more, but soon the visions faded.
His mind rushed back, his perceptions becoming exquisitely sensitive—as if innumerable crystalline particles floated around him, forging his formidable flesh!
The Martial Immortal Golden Body seemed, at that moment, to transform completely into the flesh of a Martial God!
This Martial God, transcending the divine calamity, was a true martial deity standing atop the river of the martial Way!
A deity whose wild divine essence reigned supreme!
Rushing and roaring…
Countless divine inscriptions of the Great Way interwove together!
The river of the martial Way spanned out, tainted by divine essence, as divine inscriptions spiraled in a wild, chain-like dance around Li Che!
Boom, boom, boom!
In Jingguang City,
A violent wind rose, chaos swirling!
Li Che sat calmly in the void of the capital, feeling the divine essence within him infuse every pore and drop of blood as his transformation progressed!
Centered in Jingguang City, it spread infinitely—its deep rumble like ancient temple bells, rolling out to shake the mortal realm!
From the Eleven Routes of Dajing to Da Li Wangting, Witch God Mountain, the Western Lands of Buddhism, and across the boundless Four Seas…
The sound spread, echoing in the mortal realm, shaking heaven and earth!
Many cultivators in the mortal realm trembled, awed by a majestic divine might that expanded like a wild force in frenzy.
In an instant, the sky turned blood-red.
Countless strands of blood interwove, a torrential downpour of crimson that plunged the mortal realm into a sorrowful dirge.
……
Xiling Road.
Lü Taibai leaned on his sword, with the Sect Master’s Wife seated like a doll on his back. Both looked skyward as blood-red rain lashed their faces—icy, piercing, and filled with lament.
Lü Taibai even felt his hand trembling on the sword…
His eyes suddenly narrowed.
His face turned deathly pale; his lips quivered as his body shuddered and swayed.
“Lament of the Martial Immortal!”
“The will of heaven and earth carries a deep sorrow—the fall of the Martial Immortal, a great loss among mortals!”
Lü Taibai staggered.
Before him, the entire city was bathed in blood, the stench of iron pervasive—yet even that paled in comparison to the sanguine rain the will of heaven had unleashed.
“The mortal Martial Immortal… only Li Che remains. The lament of the Martial Immortal… has Li Che fallen?” Lü Taibai’s face drained of color.
How could this be?
……
Time seemed to drag on, and yet also pass in an instant.
Li Che emerged from his hazy transformation, his eyes snapping open, resolve blazing in his heart, his divine will solidified!
A powerful divine thought surged, enveloping all creation—the divine will spread, coursing through every meridian and each of the 36,000 orifices of his body, fusing his divine essence with his flesh!
He was a deity!
At that moment, Li Che felt his state was indistinguishable from that of a god—even the divine essence within him far surpassed that wielded by divine flame deities!
It was a transformation in totality!
A wave of empty satisfaction washed over him, filling his entire being—intoxicating, yet he knew this satisfaction was hollow, for he was born a Martial Immortal whose recent metamorphosis was but a great ascension.
But now, having transformed, his future path on the divine way would be unbearably difficult, with immortality looming like a crushing mountain, impeding every step.
Vroom—!!!
The Daoist inscriptions on his back faded, and then the dense divine essence blazed as if ignited—golden flames of divine power intertwined, rendering Li Che shrouded in mystery!
The divine essence roared and his blood boiled—he felt his golden blood grow even more transparent, gradually fading to reveal intertwined crimson threads, like a virus spreading at lightning speed until his blood was wholly crimson, as if made of translucent red agate!
In the collision of shimmering sparks, there was a hint of insubstantiality and ethereality!
“The path of the Martial Immortal…”
“Is forever severed.”
“From now on, there shall be no Li Martial Immortal!”
Li Che took a deep breath. Though regret flickered within him, he felt no remorse!
At this moment, he needed power. He would exhaust all his trump cards, transforming them into his own strength!
For XiXi, for preserving the heroic image in his daughter’s eyes!
Li Che would force those deities who dared covet his daughter…
To die!
To slaughter all the gods!
Li Che was engulfed in burning divine blood, his pure martial golden qi transforming into crystalline divine blood, each droplet seething and colliding!
Li Che’s five fingers spread wide as he gripped the Thunder Demon Three-Pronged Twin-Edged Blade—emitting a roar that seemed to rend the very heavens!
“Kill!”
The Great Jing Emperor’s eyes darkened as he manipulated Lü Litong’s body to launch a brutal attack!
With clenched fists, he struck a mighty blow; at that moment, the ancestral fist technique of the Great Jing Patriarch was unleashed—channeling countless fortunes into a colossal Golden Great Dragon!
The Golden Great Dragon, embodying the fate of the entire Great Realm, roared as it surged forward—a living embodiment of divine craftsmanship with dragon horns, scales, whiskers, claws, and tail all sculpted with miraculous artistry!
It was the very essence of the dragon spirit in the mortal realm!
Li Che’s eyes burst forth with divine light as his Martial Immortal Golden Body transformed into a divine form, divine essence surging from him. Gazing upward, he saw golden dragons wildly dancing and roaring as if determined to shatter the newly-formed divine body!
It was as if some mysterious power intended to crush the divine flesh Li Che had just formed and smother him on the spot!
The original form of Three-Form Golden Toad, forged from immortal bloodline, also charged forth, spewing divine radiance that coalesced into an extremely sharp divine spear which pierced the void in an instant!
“A Martial Immortal contaminated by divine essence—what’s the point of such a foolish act?”
“A Martial Immortal tainted with divine essence might amass even more potent divine force, but potent… can it ever surpass that of a true deity?”
“Without divine flame, you are never truly divine!”
From left and right, attacks rained down!
The Great Jing Emperor and the split form of Three-Form Golden Toad surged forth with overwhelming might!
Li Che’s shattering of his Divine Transformations and the absorption of divine essence into his Martial Immortal body lasted barely a moment.
But they had already sensed the terrifying, ever-expanding power within him!
Such overwhelming strength left them no time to allow Li Che to accumulate more power—even though his transformation from Martial Immortal to divine calamity had somewhat diminished the threat…
Taking down Li Che now was the best option to eliminate this colossal threat!
Though Li Che had fallen into the divine way, his mortal body remained formidable, treading the path of a Martial God!
Even now, as his Martial Immortal qi converted explosively into divine qi, the sheer total was beyond imaginable!
Vroom—!!!
In an instant, Li Che unsheathed his blade—the Thunder Demon Three-Pronged Twin-Edged Blade—and swept it with ruthless force.
The blade’s scream cleaved through the air like thunder rolling across the heavens!
Countless strands of divine energy swirled and converged into a mountain of divine force, coalescing in the brilliance of his blade!
Where his blade met the divine spear spewed forth by Three-Form Golden Toad’s split form, a crisp clang rang out!
Centered on the collision, two surges of overwhelming divine power clashed violently!
Over a span of ten, twenty, thirty, even a hundred feet, the energies merged into a black void and were swallowed by total darkness!
The split form of Three-Form Golden Toad’s visage shifted slightly: “Such overwhelming divine power!”
“How could it be so terrifying and boundless? Almost infinite—beyond what even Daoist deities can amass! Not even the Dao-fused deities would dare compare!”
The split form of Three-Form Golden Toad trembled in shock!
As divine power surged with a corrosive force that, once dominant, ruthlessly suppressed the brilliance of the divine spear.
Then—
With a sharp crack, the divine force atop the divine spear was exhausted, its radiance dimming and scattering, while the force from Li Che’s sweeping blade continued to slice through the void, carving out a narrow void fissure with brutal might!
Meanwhile, Li Che clenched his fist and unleashed the ancestral Dragon Decimation Technique he had learned from the Young Dragon Emperor!
This technique, capable of manifesting as both a divine secret art and a martial technique, erupted with countless divine energies from within Li Che!
In an outburst reminiscent of jets of ink, his jet-black hair whipped wildly while a blood-red waterfall cascaded from his back.
A blood-red divine dragon surged forth—real and terrifying!
All around Li Che, waves of divine flame erupted; his eyes shone fiercely as divine light danced about him. Having just completed his transition from Martial Immortal to peerless Martial God, a vast field of divine energy formed around him—encircling him in a brilliant ring!
It made Li Che appear both divine and immensely powerful!
Were it not for the bursts of divine flame, he would seem truly godlike!
Divine energy flowed like a waterfall across his back. With a sweeping punch and a thrust of his long fist,
it collided with the Golden Great Dragon, summoned by the Great Jing Emperor’s aura!
The ancestral Dragon Decimation Technique clashed against the aura-wrapped Golden Great Dragon!
Divine dragons and golden dragons warred against each other!
Crack—!!!
At the collision, heaven and earth twisted and split apart!
From the source of impact, Li Che’s body trembled—each sinewy muscle bulging like gnarled dragons—as he gripped the head of the aura-wrapped Golden Great Dragon, defying the might of heaven and earth with his mortal flesh!
So domineering! So ferocious!
Such a spectacle was breathtaking!
Su Da, fixed in place by eight fox tails anchoring the void, looked on in horrified disbelief!
Know this—at this moment, the Great Jing Emperor, who commanded the fate of the entire Great Realm, was on par with the divine flame deities…
The will of the Great Jing Emperor that had descended on Lü Litong’s body twisted grotesquely, agony surging as Li Che’s hand gripped the aura-wrapped Golden Great Dragon with unrelenting force.
The Golden Great Dragon was crushed to pieces—as if the light itself shattering into fragments, crackling and scattering brilliant specks!
“Ah—!!!”
Within Lü Litong, the will of the Great Jing Emperor erupted in a roar.
Every pore of Li Che’s body radiated divine light, unleashing a brutal force as his punch projected a torrent of divine energy!
Boom, boom, boom—
With every blow, the aura-wrapped Golden Great Dragon was obliterated, blasting into innumerable halos of light that scattered far and wide.
The fate of the Great Realm itself was being shattered by this devastating force!
When the aura-wrapped Golden Great Dragon had completely dispersed, Li Che’s divine light surged skyward and he charged straight toward Lü Litong.
With one brutal punch, Lü Litong’s flesh exploded midair!
Blood mist splattered, tossed aside by raging winds, then vanished into nothingness.
“Great Jing Emperor! Just you wait…”
“I’ll settle the score with you soon enough.”
Li Che’s cold, indifferent voice echoed as he unleashed another punch, blood-red divine energy spearing through, erasing the dying will of the Great Jing Emperor utterly!
Countless fragments of fate exploded and dispersed rapidly across heaven and earth.
Li Che, with a fierce glare and jet-black hair whipping like bolts of lightning, smashed the aura-wrapped Golden Great Dragon into nothingness.
After annihilating the threat, Li Che did not stop. With a single step, a vast Cosmic Chessboard spanned the void, as if a starry sky cloaked everything overhead.
Time displaced like swirling stars—Flying Star Transposition!
In an instant, Li Che appeared right before the split form of Three-Form Golden Toad.
“Ribbit!”
The split form of Three-Form Golden Toad let out an abrupt croak, its golden toad-blood boiling as if in a frenzy!
The immortal bloodline force burst forth with awe-inspiring majesty and intimidation!
“Behold, the pressure of immortality—unceasing through myriad tribulations, eternal beyond time!”
Three-Form Golden Toad screamed!
Its golden blood shifted form into a humanoid figure, brandishing a long spear and lashing out in a merciless stab!
Li Che’s body was enveloped in swirling divine mists of energy, as if divine flames were burning within him.
The Pure Heart Dao Fruit trembled and the Seven Aperture Luminous Heart pounded.
At this moment, Li Che could sense no trace of any imposing aura.
The Thunder Demon Three-Pronged Twin-Edged Blade whistled back into his grasp as his Qimen Divine Seed Martial Arts reactivated like miraculous divine seeds!
Empowered by vast quantities of divine essence, its power was even more dominating than when he wielded his Martial Immortal form!
The split form of Three-Form Golden Toad invoked its immortal bloodline and surged forth mightily—its divine spear gleaming resplendently as the divine inscriptions of the Great Way echoed mightily, proclaiming just a hint of its immortal dominance!
Li Che, with his Thunder Demon Three-Pronged Twin-Edged Blade slashing fiercely while his other hand executed the Six Desires Exorcism Sword Array,
the sword’s radiance enveloped the immortal bloodline form of Three-Form Golden Toad!
Space fragmented asunder, dense and scattered into countless shards!
The immortal bloodline form of Three-Form Golden Toad was suddenly riddled with wounds. It screamed in agony, its murderous intent surfacing!
“Never having merged with the Dao, yet possessing such formidable combat prowess and cultivation…”
The immortal bloodline form of Three-Form Golden Toad realized a dire crisis was at hand!
If its immortal bloodline did not properly withstand this assault, it might be obliterated, shattering its hope of returning to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths forever.
Li Che advanced step by step, his body bursting with divine light as if truly an avatar of the divine flame, determinedly pressing forward!
Evolving from a Martial Immortal to one who had embraced the divine way, his profound cultivation and domineering talent were by no means inferior to the immortal bloodline—even a Martial Immortal ascending the divine way could rival a young deity’s immortal legacy!
With one hand wielding the double-edged blade and the other executing the Six Desires Sword Array,
Three-Form Golden Toad was repeatedly cleaved as immortal bloodline fragments splattered!
Boom—!!!
A single strike descended—the Golden Toad formed of immortal blood was shattered entirely, transforming into a drop of golden blood that hung like suspended crystal, exuding supreme majesty as though harboring a resolute will ready to be reborn.
But Li Che spared no mercy!
The tidal rush of Pure Heart divine energy enveloped that golden drop, obliterating it in an instant!
In that moment, under the corrosive isolation of Pure Heart divine energy, the immortal will was completely extinguished.
Li Che pressed that drop of immortal blood onto the Cosmic Chessboard.
Then, his eyes shimmered with resplendent divine light as his jet-black hair danced wildly and his crimson blood roared through the meridians.
His gaze landed on Su Da, whose void was secured by eight fox tails.
Su Da’s expression shifted violently—she let out a piercing shriek as countless white beams soared upward, morphing into a white fox that dashed into the void, sending ripples through the fabric of space, and then vanished without a trace!
Li Che retracted his radiant eyes. The divine energy within him was far too overwhelming—a single step shattered space as he leaped across the Heavenly Dome at breakneck speed!
In an instant, he appeared beside the Young Dragon Emperor. With his twin-edged blades fanned wide, he lifted them like a blood-red divine dragon rising from a sea of blood!
The ancestral Dragon Decimation Technique!
The Young Dragon Emperor had sensed Li Che’s arrival the moment he appeared and let out a long, resonant dragon roar, unleashing the full force of the ancestral Dragon Decimation Technique!
The Golden Great Dragon Spear trembled countless times, and out roared a Golden Great Dragon!
It intertwined with Li Che’s rising blood-red dragon, locked in an epic clash!
“Ah—!!!”
The South Sea Dragon King shuddered—the hundreds of miles of his serpentine dragon body surged upward, only to be blasted apart; his scales shattered, blood rained down, and the torrent of carnage resembled a relentless deluge!
Li Che’s massive frame, his jet-black hair swirling and eyes alight like smoke, gripped his twin-edged blades at a slant while executing the Six Desires Sword Array with his other hand.
He strode through the chilling winds and blood rains!
Step by step, he advanced toward Ha Shen, who was locked in combat with the Grand Inspector!
Li Che’s gaze was calm yet brimming with murderous intent.
“The path of carnage for Yulian’s daughter…”
“I will walk it for her!”
Rumble, rumble—
The divine dragon blood of the shattered Dragon King scattered, forming a torrential bloodstorm—a truly horrifying sight!
“This man is out of his mind!”
Ha Shen’s face grew ashen as despair gradually overwhelmed him.
