Chapter 143: Ox Demon and Horse Face in the Netherworld, The Golden Heavenly King's Ascend Tower Gra
Chapter 143: Ox Demon and Horse Face in the Netherworld, The Golden Heavenly King's Ascend Tower Grand Master 【Seeking Monthly Votes】 (Part 2)
In close combat with Xu Jiu Qing, Li Che did more than just casually grab the Heaven and Earth Jade; with each punch, he infused his Pure Mind Spirit into Xu Jiu Qing's body.
Using the child seal's aura from the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal, he searched for the mother seal!
Li Che initially intended to retrieve the mother seal that suppressed the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal, but he hadn't anticipated Xu Jiu Qing's means of escape.
By chance, the Pure Mind Spirit that had entered the Corpse Curse Seal condensed into a Flying Thunder Chess Piece.
It became...
A tracker!
Not only could Li Che lock onto Xu Jiu Qing's escape route through the Flying Thunder Chess Piece, but he could also understand his situation.
Escape?
How could the Ox Demon, who wanted to kill him, escape so easily?
If this Corpse Deity Sect evildoer who threatened Xixi didn't die... how could he be at ease?
Li Che sat quietly in the courtyard.
He was waiting, waiting for Xu Jiu Qing to complete his teleportation.
However, it must be said that after experiencing the rapid movement of the Flying Thunder Chess Piece, the Corpse Deity Sect's slow-as-a-turtle teleportation... truly made him feel like his bladder was about to burst.
Li Che was anxious for them.
His mind floated in the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, sensing Xu Jiu Qing's teleportation.
On the other side, Li Che was multitasking.
Reviewing his battle with Xu Jiu Qing, a Divine Image Realm cultivator.
In this battle, although it was Li Che's first attempt at fighting, it also gave him a clear understanding of his own strength.
"If I activate the Angry Vajra state of the Dragon Elephant Dharmic Fruit and Ascend Tower, I can suppress a Grandmaster in the later stages of the Martial Realm. My physical body is too strong, a Furnace Master... my fleshly body is unparalleled."
"Xu Jiu Qing mainly relies on his Incantation Bronze Corpse body, which is tough and hard to destroy, coupled with his late-stage Grandmaster cultivation. I can't kill him."
"A fully matured Incantation Bronze Corpse is indeed both smelly and tough."
"Even with four Dragon Tooth Bullets to clear the way, it's still not enough..."
Li Che pondered, as snowflakes fell and piled up thickly on his hood.
"However... if I really show my full strength... I might be able to kill him."
Overall, Li Che had a clear understanding of his own strength.
It was equivalent to the early to mid-stages of the True Divine Image Realm.
The prerequisite was to not give the opponent a chance to create distance and use divine energy secret techniques to bombard him.
In terms of divine energy cultivation, Li Che was still slightly lacking.
But Li Che's strength lay in his physical body's might; as a Furnace Master who had stepped into the Divine Vein Nine Transformations, and with the unparalleled divine ability of Ascend Tower...
Once in close combat, the mid-stage Divine Image Realm cultivator could still withstand his explosive close-range attacks due to the thick defense of the Divine Image Realm.
But if it were the early Divine Image Realm...
He would be killed within ten moves!
If facing a late-stage Divine Image Realm or Primordial Image Realm cultivator...
He would have to take a detour.
The condensed Divine Image of the late-stage Divine Image Realm was no weaker than the strength of the Incantation Bronze Corpse, and once the dense divine energy suppressed downward, that level of positional pressure would be hard to completely ignore, even for Li Che, who had cultivated the Seven Rounds Divine Foundation.
That's right!
The reason Li Che could ignore the positional pressure of the mid-stage Divine Image Realm was because of the immunity he gained after cultivating the Seven Rounds Divine Foundation.
Immunity to positional pressure.
It wasn't the effect of the Temple Deity's divine energy.
This gave Li Che the capital to fight against higher-level opponents; he was currently only at the Divine Foundation Realm, and if he couldn't ignore the positional pressure of the Divine Image Realm, he would be at a disadvantage in battle...
Even with the body of a Furnace Master, his strength would be restricted, and his power would be reduced by at least three to four tenths.
"With this level of strength... my Ox Demon... can act even more freely."
Under the Cute Bull Mask, Li Che's lips curled up in a smile.
Suddenly.
Li Che's eyes flickered slightly.
"Hmm? Finally, the teleportation is complete... it's been quite a while."
In the courtyard, Li Che stood up, his body radiating vital energy, instantly melting the white snow.
He adjusted his hood.
Escape with his life?
After harming my daughter... he still wants to live?
His Ox Demon...
Loved to eradicate the root of the problem.
Buzz—
Space seemed to distort, and the falling snow twisted.
Then, the Ox Demon's figure swiftly emerged from the black smoke and landed on the ground, creating a loud noise that startled the birds in the dense forest, causing them to fly away.
The black shadow slowly straightened its body, and the thick smoke, filled with dense Corpse Qi and Death Qi, polluted the surrounding trees, causing their green leaves to wither and fall instantly.
"Damn it!"
"Nan Lihuo, Ox Demon Horse Face!"
A deep voice emerged from the black shadow's mouth, and its eyes opened, revealing a scarlet hue.
Xu Jiu Qing's soul was hidden within the mother seal of the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal, which was also the reason why he had managed to remain undetected within the Golden Light Subsect for so long.
All Corpse Qi and Death Qi could be released and absorbed through the Corpse Curse Seal.
The power of the Incantation Bronze Corpse was completely contained within the Corpse Curse Seal, and his physical body, except for slightly weakened vital energy, would not be discovered.
Furthermore, his excuse of nourishing his sword with vital energy directly covered up this suspicious point.
Therefore, even Nan Lihuo, a Primordial Incarnation cultivator who was about to cultivate a Primordial Spirit, had difficulty discovering his secret.
But it was seen through by the Ox Demon!
"Damn it... it was just one mistake, the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Child Seal... exposed my identity."
Xu Jiu Qing roared incessantly, his soul filled with rage. He had lost control of his emotions.
Suddenly.
In the darkness, a white mist emerged from the forest and swept out.
Slowly, a figure dressed in a white robe appeared.
On the figure's face was a white mask with the character "Eight" written in blood.
It was an Octagonal Corpse Deity Envoy!
Every Octagonal Corpse Deity Envoy was a Divine Image Realm cultivator!
"Xu Jiu Qing, I've come to guide you and help you resurrect through a borrowed corpse."
A faint voice emerged from the Octagonal Corpse Deity Envoy's mouth.
"However, before that, we need to retrieve your Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal. And because you lost the Seven Elements Mother and Son Corpse Curse Seal's child seal... the sect will only provide you with a small-accomplishment Incantation Bronze Corpse body for your resurrection."
The Octagonal Corpse Deity Envoy's voice trailed off.
In the black mist, Xu Jiu Qing's soul raged with indignation.
"Small accomplishment? How can it only be a small accomplishment?!"
"Be content, you exposed yourself at a critical moment. If not for your special identity, you might only be given an Incantation Iron Corpse body.
A faint voice emerged from the Corpse God Envoy.
"Do you know that Li Qingshan is about to reach the Divine Image Realm... The moment you expose yourself, the price for disrupting his breakthrough will be enormous... Hmm? Who is it?!"
The Corpse God Envoy's voice suddenly turned into a fierce shout.
However, his entire body erupted with Corpse Qi. Underneath his white robe, a bronze-colored glow flashed, revealing that he, too, was a fully cultivated Incantation Bronze Corpse!
"Xu Jiu Qing, thanks to you, we've hooked a big fish."
The faint voice was accompanied by hoarseness.
It echoed from behind the Corpse God Envoy.
Xu Jiu Qing, enveloped in black smoke, had blood-red eyes that suddenly focused, and then he was startled!
He saw that behind the Corpse God Envoy, the familiar... Cute Bull Mask appeared!
Here again?!
This Ox Demon... How can it be like a ghost?!
Boom—!
The air suddenly exploded, and powerful gusts of wind spread out like concentric circles.
The Octagonal Corpse God Envoy reacted extremely quickly, but he had just raised his arm to block when it, along with his arm, was smashed against the mask on his face, and his entire body was sent flying, crashing into several ancient trees and breaking them.
The Corpse God Envoy's clothing tore, revealing his fully cultivated Incantation Bronze Corpse body.
Yet, the mask remained intact.
"Ox Demon!"
"Xu Jiu Qing... Have you betrayed the sect?!"
"You dog-raising bastard!"
The Corpse God Envoy spoke coldly, his voice filled with endless iciness.
Fishing?
Xu Jiu Qing was actually fishing!
"However, a mere Ox Demon... thinks it can devour me?"
The Corpse God Envoy's expression turned cold, and his Divine Image essence overflowed, manifesting a deity with countless eyes.
Vairocana Thousand-Eyed Corpse God!
A terrifying pressure formed, creating giant waves that spread out in a circular pattern, accompanied by a raging storm that caused the trees within a ten-zhang radius to sway uncontrollably!
Xu Jiu Qing, engulfed in rolling black smoke, was on the verge of madness.
"It wasn't me!"
"I didn't do it!"
He roared.
However, the Ox Demon's body went "Boom" and suddenly grew more robust and muscular, with veins popping out.
His black hair grew rapidly, reaching down to his waist.
Closing his eyes and then opening them, golden smoke emanated from beneath the mask, spreading from his pupils.
"Quick battle, quick decision."
"Just right... for a test."
The Ox Demon, in its Ascend Tower State, spoke calmly.
A test?
How dare this mere Ox Demon use him as a test subject?! Utterly arrogant!
The Octagonal Corpse God Envoy, however, smirked, "You couldn't even kill Xu Jiu Qing with Ma Mian's hidden weapon attack. What makes you think you can kill me?"
Nevertheless, Li Che merely glanced at him.
With a flick of his finger, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard instantly enveloped the surrounding ten-zhang area, concealing all auras.
The change in the environment caused both the Corpse God Envoy and Xu Jiu Qing to pale.
This Ox Demon...
This Ox Demon!
The next moment, the Corpse God Envoy and Xu Jiu Qing saw the Ox Demon's palm, raised like a fan, within which a dark golden chess piece hovered silently.
An intense and terrifying Temple Deity essence pressure emanated from the small, dark golden chess piece, overwhelming everything in its path!
It was the pressure of a Temple Deity...
The Heavenly King!
Both the Corpse God Envoy and Xu Jiu Qing sensed it and paled in shock!
"It's you—it's definitely you!"
Xu Jiu Qing's voice turned shrill. The one who had severed the connection between his Corpse Curse Mother Seal and Child Seal was indeed the Ox Demon!
And this power of the Heavenly King Temple God...
Only Nan Lihuo, atop the main peak of Jin Guang Peak, could summon it!
Ox Demon... Nan Lihuo... It was all a scheme!
Xu Jiu Qing cried and laughed maniacally.
However, the Ox Demon paid him no heed. With a tight grip, the dark golden Heavenly King essence chess piece was instantly crushed in his hand!
The dark golden Temple Deity essence swirled up like smoke.
Suck—
Then, the Ox Demon took a deep breath, but only inhaled one-third of it!
That was all!
In an instant, within the ten-zhang area covered by the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, the ground collapsed and sank several feet, as if crushed by an incredibly oppressive force!
The Ox Demon's terrifying flesh also seemed to be covered in countless fine knife scars, and blood mist erupted from the wounds!
His flesh seemed unable to bear the power of the Temple Deity essence, as countless essences flowed out, forming a golden armor on the Ox Demon's mountainous body!
His black hair billowed, and his skin turned crimson purple, as he donned the Golden Divine Armor!
With a majestic and awe-inspiring presence, he resembled a Golden Heavenly King ascending the Ascend Tower!
"Using an overkill move... to kill you."
The Ox Demon murmured, his voice echoing through the heavens and earth.
The eyes behind the Octagonal Corpse God Envoy's mask suddenly showed fear!
Escape...
But it was too late.
Boom!
The mountains shook, and the entire mountain range trembled, with spider-web-like cracks spreading out in a radial pattern.
Many rocks on the ground seemed to have been melted by a terrifying force and quickly frozen by the cold winter wind, turning into a crystalline state.
When everything calmed down, snowflakes silently fell from the night sky, landing on the empty ground where countless trees had been flattened.
In the middle of the empty ground, there was a huge pit.
In the pit...
Only the Octagonal Corpse God Envoy of the Corpse Deity Sect remained, his body twisted with fear, reduced to a muddy corpse after being touched by the Ox Demon.
As for Xu Jiu Qing's soul...
It had already scattered long ago!
In the silent ruins...
After a moment...
One figure, then another, and another...
A total of six figures, enveloped in distorted Corpse Qi and Death Qi, emerged from the swirling black smoke vortex and stood at the edge of the ruins.
They silently gazed at the Octagonal Corpse God Envoy, who had been smashed into a muddy mess by the World-Shaking Beast.
In the silent ruins, a faint voice finally echoed.
"Grand Master?!"
Some readers commented that the combat description was too watery. As the author wrote with emotional investment, they didn't notice, but combat descriptions are the most challenging to write. They will pay more attention next time.
Additionally, in the setting, the Divine Sect is just one power, and the City is merely a sub-sect. The Great Jing is still the largest power under the court, so don't mix them up. The author is writing according to the outline, and some information might not have been revealed yet, so please be patient and keep reading.
Finally, the recommendations have finally arrived at a climax. At 12:00 tonight, the recommendation effect will determine the quality of the next recommendation. Please support with your monthly votes! Li is begging you!
