Chapter 150: The Corpse God's Silver Gale Transforms into a Dragon Elephant, Seven Elements Divine E

Chapter 150: The Corpse God's Silver Gale Transforms into a Dragon Elephant, Seven Elements Divine Essence Crystal's Wealth and Nobility

Li Che stepped on the muddy ground, flattening it with each stomp. He carefully placed the Great Snow Avalanche Lotus Cannon of Guanyin in front of the slowly expanding black vortex, two meters away. He adjusted the angle of Guanyin's fingers, which were pinching a smiling face, ensuring that the explosion would cover the entire area in front of the black vortex. He wanted to make the explosion look good, like a little mushroom.

This was Li Che's first attempt at using a hundred divine essence chess pieces as the equivalent of the Great Snow Avalanche Lotus Cannon. He was serious and solemn. Sixteen horse-faced men simultaneously set up Immortal Worker Gatlings and moved away from the cannon's position, staying five hundred meters away to add fuel to the fire.

After everything was ready, Li Che tapped his toes on the ground and shot himself a thousand meters away. He hid behind a tree trunk, standing quietly on the thick trunk. The pupils of the horse-faced men lit up with anticipation.

The black vortex spun faster and faster, and its range expanded. Finally, when the vortex's range reached about ten meters, the black smoke vortex shook violently. Li Che's eyes narrowed.

"Here it comes!" he exclaimed, raising his hand. A white divine essence chess piece floated in his palm. This was the chess piece that controlled the explosion of the Great Snow Avalanche Lotus Cannon. As soon as he crushed the chess piece, the divine essence chess pieces inside the cannon would riot, and with the prototype of the divine ability, they would explode with a boom.

Li Che inhaled and exhaled, his eyes fixed on the black vortex. The person who had escaped using the Temporal Death Body Technique was undoubtedly an evil person from the Corpse Deity Sect. Li Che would show no mercy to the Corpse Deity Sect's cultivators—he would kill them without hesitation.

Finally, a figure burst out of the black vortex. An extremely strong bloody smell instantly spread through the dense forest. The person fell to the ground, panting heavily like a bellows. Suddenly, the panting stopped.

"Who's there?" a hoarse voice asked from behind a mask covered in cracks, with the number 'seven' written in blood on it.

"A Seven Elements Corpse God Envoy?" Li Che's eyes narrowed.

A big fat fish! Without hesitation, Li Che clenched his five fingers and crushed the white divine essence chess piece that was floating in the air.

He had caught a big fish! Li Che never expected that he would catch a Seven Elements Corpse God Envoy like this. It only took half a breath for him to crush the chess piece.

The Seven Elements Corpse God Envoy looked on in shock as he saw the half-human-sized Guanyin woodcarving statue, which had been quietly sitting in front of him, explode.

"What the hell is this thing?" the Seven Elements Corpse God Envoy exclaimed, feeling a chill down his spine. His silver gale had been exhausted during his escape, facing the siege of Nan Lihuo and the two inspectors from the Heaven Foretelling Bureau.

Now, he had basically fallen to the level of a Great Success Incantation Copper Corpse. This was equivalent to the level of an Eight Extremes Corpse God Envoy.

The silver gale was the biggest difference between a Great Success Incantation Copper Corpse and a Master Incantation Copper Corpse.

A terrifying explosion occurred. The intense light and heat engulfed the Corpse God Envoy. The entire forest floor shook, and a white-hot pillar of light slowly rose into the sky, then slowly expanded like a large mass of thick ink being poured into a pool, slowly dripping down."

It formed a mushroom cloud that was almost four meters high, small and cute in Li Che's eyes.

The shockwave spread in concentric circles, blowing in all directions. Trees bent and swayed in one direction, and leaves were blown away by the wind. The white air waves roared and rumbled, lasting for about thirty to forty breaths.

Slowly, the small and cute mushroom cloud dissipated into the sky.

Li Che took off his horse-faced mask and put on the Ox Demon mask, his body suddenly growing taller and more imposing, like a tower. His back was hunched, and a ghostly face with a downward-pointing triangle was protruding from it.

Leading sixteen horse-faced men carrying Gatlings, he stepped towards the center of the explosion. The black smoke vortex disappeared.

"There's no radiation pollution, but there is divine essence pollution," Li Che analyzed calmly after sensing the area. It seemed that there were still side effects.

In the ruins, Li Che's gaze swept over the area, and he saw a charred, shattered corpse lying on the ground, scattered in pieces.

Li Che activated the Tower Ascension State and the Thousand Analysis Hand. He reached out towards the scattered corpse on the ground.

Instantly, he extracted about seventy divine essence chess pieces.

"Seventy divine essence chess pieces, equivalent to the Divine Appearance Advanced Realm... It's just average. The cultivation of the Seven Elements Corpse God Envoy doesn't seem as high as I imagined," Li Che thought.

"That's right. The Corpse God Envoys of the Corpse Deity Sect mainly rely on the Incantation Corpse Technique," another voice agreed.

"This Seven Elements Corpse God Envoy was seriously injured and died in the explosion... It's understandable," a third voice added.

"He must have escaped from Thunder Peak. He was lucky to have bumped into me and died extremely quickly," Li Che said with a smile.

Li Che collected the seventy divine essence chess pieces of the Divine Appearance level cultivator. Now, he could determine a cultivator's cultivation level based on the number of chess pieces in their corpse.

For the Initial Divine Form Realm, they could extract thirty or fewer chess pieces. For the Mid-stage Divine Form Realm, it would be thirty to sixty, and for the Advanced Realm, it would be seventy or more. Over a hundred pieces would indicate Perfection or even the Primordial Sage Realm.

After collecting the divine essence chess pieces, Li Che searched through the ruins. He spread his divine perception and found a broken, scorched, and extremely hot Qiankun Jade buried under a thick layer of ash.

"Luckily it didn't shatter..." Li Che breathed a sigh of relief.

He put away the Qiankun Jade, thinking that the collection of a Seven Elements Corpse God Envoy might give him something to look forward to.

"This trip... was worth it."

"We also earned an Eight Apex Divine Essence Crystal from Senior Li Qingshan."

Li Che couldn't help but laugh.

Through the perception of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, he sensed streams of energy rapidly shooting towards him.

Obviously, the adorable five-meter-tall mushroom cloud, with its dazzling radiance, had attracted the attention of many.

Li Che wore an Ox Demon mask, pulling his helmet low.

He snapped his fingers.

"Pa-ta!"

The sixteen black-robed figures exploded into black ink mist and vanished.

The Ox Demon's figure suddenly shifted and disappeared.

After the Ox Demon left,

In the depths of the forest, several consecutive leaps like spreading wings.

Three figures in the uniform of the Temple Guardian, landed around the ruins.

Zhang Lianhao's eyes narrowed, and his palm instinctively rested on the handle of the standard divine armament saber at his waist.

"This is..."

"What?"

Whoosh—

The howling wind passed by, carrying a powerful aura.

In front of him...

A deep pit appeared, with a diameter of about fifty meters!

Within the ruins of the pit...

Scattered and chaotic divine essences filled the air, intertwining and forming a polluted field that clouded one's consciousness and caused uncontrollable divine essence riots.

...

...

The commotion subsided.

In Jin Guang City, the atmosphere gradually quieted down.

But everyone knew that with Li Qingshan's breakthrough to the Divine Appearance Realm, the city's sky... was about to change.

The five great families, no, now the four great families' ancestors, all understood that their family members must act low-key and cautiously from now on.

Otherwise, if they caught the displeasure of Li Qingshan or were caught with evidence, it would be a matter of a single strike.

And they, as ancestors, could no longer stand up for their family members.

As for some cultivators with secrets they couldn't reveal, they began to shrink back, hiding themselves and not daring to show the slightest bit of themselves.

At Thunder Peak.

Thunder rumbled incessantly, but the dark clouds had already dispersed, as if the vast golden light was being poured out.

Li Qingshan sat on a chair, his black hair flying, his blood qi extremely full, his back straight as a rod, and his gaze intense.

Behind him, a vague divine shadow would occasionally appear.

This was not a phantom, but a manifestation of Li Qingshan's temporarily uncontrollable power, a Divine Appearance Manifestation.

As the Divine Appearance Manifestation emerged, the pressure around him became extremely terrifying.

Even those who approached him would be oppressed to the point of terror and difficulty breathing.

Li Qingshan needed some time to consolidate his cultivation. After all, he had been a bit hasty, wanting to catch his opponents off guard. So, he had used the Five-Headed Dragon Elephant to forcibly pull the Divine Foundation and Divine Appearance into his Mud Pill Palace.

This process was too violent and rapid, and the burden on Li Qingshan's physical body was immense.

He needed some time to recover.

Nan Lihuo descended gracefully, with a two-stringed fiddle hanging at his waist, landing on the uneven ground of Thunder Peak, struck by thunder.

"We captured one of the three Seven Elements Corpse God Envoys from the Corpse God Sect, but two escaped..."

"The harvest was acceptable."

"The two who escaped were also heavily injured, their Silver Gale exhausted, and the Master Incantation Copper Corpse was torn apart by us, making it difficult for them to recover in a short time."

Nan Lihuo's white hair fluttered, and he was very satisfied.

Inspector Zhang smiled, and in this situation, he really wanted to play a festive tune on his fiddle to enhance the atmosphere.

With this in mind, Inspector Zhang sat cross-legged on the ground, took the two-stringed fiddle from his waist, and placed it on his hip.

Sitting on a small stool, he took out a bright porcelain bowl and placed it neatly in front of him.

The gentle sound of the fiddle drifted over Thunder Peak.

Li Qingshan couldn't help but feel speechless.

This was Inspector Zhang? He had interacted with Inspector Zhang several times, but he still found it hard to believe.

But now, seeing him, the image of Inspector Zhang as a righteous and dignified old man collapsed in Li Qingshan's mind.

This was just an old man who loved performing arts!

"I also hired Horse Face..."

"Fortunately, Horse Face's sneak attack support in the shadows... earlier, I felt a great threat coming from the City Lord's Mansion."

"It should be that Divine Archer Dragon Mountain, wanting to disrupt your breakthrough."

Li Qingshan spoke solemnly.

Having stepped into the Divine Appearance Realm, I feel a great transformation. I feel like a whole new person."

Having started at the Six Departments Divine Image, his potential was now much higher.

For example, Zhu Hong Dou, who is also at the Six Departments Divine Image, would have a much higher upper hand.

"But Horse Face stopped him."

Li Qingshan exhaled.

A Divine Archer like Dragon Mountain posed a great threat to him during his breakthrough.

Fortunately, the employment of Horse Face was not in vain!

Not to mention that Horse Face later shot and exploded the Divine Appearance cultivators who were watching with ill intentions.

"I must give a big red packet... a Divine Archer like this must be treated well."

Li Qingshan muttered.

Having a friend who is skilled in shooting hidden arrows is a very reassuring thing.

"Dragon Mountain..."

Nan Lihuo's eyes narrowed.

The City Lord's Mansion didn't have a big grudge against Li Qingshan, but they still chose to strike at this critical moment.

The purpose was clear—to spite Nan Lihuo and prevent Jin Guang Sect from gaining another powerful cultivator.

"I'll find an opportunity to deal with him."

Nan Lihuo spoke softly.

Hearing this, Li Qingshan's eyes lit up.

"I must be there!"

Nan Lihuo nodded.

He didn't refuse Li Qingshan.

Standing at the edge of the cliff, looking at the distant sky, a faint white belly...

Nan Lihuo exhaled.

"You, Li Qingshan, have finally broken through to the Divine Appearance Realm, possessing the combat strength of the Advanced Divine Appearance Realm. This is a great help."

"The upcoming 'Temple Deity Resonance' will be safer for the children with the support of an Advanced Divine Appearance cultivator like you."

Nan Lihuo spoke softly.

But Li Qingshan suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up from the chair.

"Sect Master, quickly help me suppress the problem of the Divine Appearance Manifestation!"

Li Qingshan said anxiously.

Nan Lihuo glanced at him and couldn't help but wonder, "You can do it yourself. With a few days of cultivation, you can suppress it."

"I can't, I have to go see my wife, or else I won't have a wife anymore..." Li Qingshan's face twitched.

He seemed to have guessed the murderous look on Mu Po.

Li Qingshan, you've finally broken through to the Divine Appearance Realm. It's time to face the consequences of your actions.

Nan Lihuo seemed to have guessed something and couldn't help but be speechless.

"Women... will only be a burden, slowing down your cultivation," Nan Lihuo said indifferently.

Like him, being alone was what led to his current achievements.

And the Inspector, a 213 years and 7 months old virgin.

The erhu music in the world suddenly became piercing and sharp, and the Inspector seemed to feel an overwhelming humiliation.

Nan Lihuo hurriedly extended his hand and used his divine essence to touch Li Qingshan's forehead, helping him suppress the manifested divine appearance.

Subsequently, Li Qingshan's master aura retreated, his back hunched, and he quickly ran towards Li Che's courtyard on the hillside.

...

...

In the small courtyard of Thunder Peak, in the study.

Li Che crushed the Thunderbolt Chess Piece and returned, but did not immediately leave the study.

In this battle, he hardly used his physical strength, relying on the Immortal Worker Barrett and the compression enhancement of his divine foundation, he helped Li Qingshan successfully break through to the next realm.

It was quite easy.

Li Che stretched lazily, feeling very content.

Hiding in the shadows and sneaking a few shots could earn him an Eight Apex Divine Essence Crystal.

How could anyone not be happy?

Raising his hand, he tore through the air, and the Heavenly Origin space spat out the broken Heavenly Origin Jade.

This was the Heavenly Origin Jade of that unfortunate Seven Elements Corpse God Envoy.

Li Che secretly rejoiced that it wasn't destroyed and was still usable.

Without even probing with his divine perception, he forcefully and dominantly invaded it.

Li Che was very much looking forward to the Seven Elements Corpse God Envoy's collection.

This was his greatest harvest tonight.

He calmed his mind, not being swayed by external things or his own emotions.

He began to count!

Huh?!

Li Che's eyes suddenly lit up!

With a flick of his fingers, a divine essence crystal that shimmered with pure divine essence fell into his hand, its divine essence surging powerfully.

"This is..."

"A Seven Elements Divine Essence Crystal!"

Li Che's eyes sparkled, it was worth it!

Just this Seven Elements Divine Essence Crystal made the night's operation a perfect success.

"One Seven Elements Divine Essence Crystal, six Eight Apex Divine Essence Crystals, thirty Nine Stars Divine Essence Crystals, and three Capital Divine Essence Crystals..."

"The Capital ones are so few, but it's normal. A Seven Elements Corpse God Envoy wouldn't even look at Capital Divine Essence Crystals."

Li Che smiled.

Another wave of overwhelming wealth had fallen upon him.

Indeed, wealth always comes to those who are ready to receive it.

If he had run away at the sight of the corpse qi vortex, wouldn't that wealth have slipped away?

He picked a small mushroom and bravely received this wealth...

He deserved to earn money!

Continuing the count, Li Che soon frowned and calmed down.

The divine armaments... were much worse than expected.

There was only one Eight Apex Divine Armament, which was completely inconsistent with the status of a Seven Elements Corpse God Envoy.

Suddenly, Li Che took out a round mirror with a bronze frame.

His arm turned jade-colored, and the Thousand Analysis Hand analyzed it!

【Divine Armament (Seven Elements Lower Rank): Thousand Mile Divine Communication Mirror】

【Description: By infusing divine perception, this mirror allows communication with other holders of the divine communication mirror, connecting souls over a hundred miles and ensuring a mirror remains over a thousand miles】

【Requirement: Divine Foundation and Above】

This thing...

Feels so familiar.

He rubbed his chin, probing, is it you?

Just this function... and it dares to be labeled as a Seven Elements Divine Armament.

However, the ability to communicate over a thousand miles and exchange information does make it a Seven Elements Divine Armament, and it's well-deserved.

After all, information is sometimes the most valuable thing.

"This world's divine armaments... are so flashy." Li Che smiled, his eyes gleaming.

Although he had the Dao Fruit of Immortal Craft, if he were to switch to learning divine armament creation, he could earn a fortune.

But casting his own divine armaments... how could it compare to receiving overwhelming wealth from others?

Li Che put away the divine communication mirror and continued counting.

The Seven Elements Corpse God Envoy's corpse qi pills were naturally numerous.

What surprised Li Che was that there was actually a Seventh Rank Superior Corpse Qi Coagulation Pill!

This kind of martial pill would be extremely beneficial for him as a furnace master.

In terms of martial arts, the other party didn't carry any with him.

However, there was a small booklet, "Corpse God Secret Technique: Silver Gale"...

"Like the Temporal Death Body Technique, it's one of the corpse secret techniques?"

"Silver Gale..." Li Che flipped through it, his eyes becoming increasingly bright.

Called a secret technique, it was actually a martial skill designed for the Incantation Copper Corpse.

By condensing the corpse qi of the Incantation Copper Corpse, it could produce the Silver Gale force unique to the Incantation Silver Corpse, although it was far inferior to the divine gale of a grandmaster.

However, it touched the threshold of this level of power.

To cultivate the Silver Gale, one needed a strong and resilient body, and to cultivate the Incantation Copper Corpse, one needed to reach the Great Success Incantation Copper Corpse.

Cultivating a thread of Silver Gale would mark the entry into the Master Incantation Copper Corpse.

The Transformation Realm Incantation Copper Corpse would have its body covered in Silver Gale flowers... extremely powerful.

"Can I cultivate the Silver Gale?"

"Integrating it into the Ten Thousand Transformation Dragon Elephant... the Incantation Copper Corpse's body is strong, could my [Dragon Elephant Vajra] be inferior to the Incantation Copper Corpse?"

"This Silver Gale doesn't rely on corpse qi or death qi, it's a martial skill, not a corpse god technique."

Li Che's emotions surged, and he really had the urge to cultivate it.

The explosive power and penetration of the Silver Gale were extremely formidable...

If he could cultivate the Silver Gale and integrate it into the Immortal Worker Barrett, wouldn't that be a new and innovative upgrade path?

Counting over and over again, Li Che couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Sensing Li Qingshan rushing over, Li Che tidied up and left the study.

In the room, he saw Li Qingshan smiling sheepishly and trying to seek forgiveness from Mu Po.

"Li Qingshan, you're quite capable, huh? If you have the guts, hit me to death, what's the point of just knocking me out?"

"Stand still, don't come near me, back up, further back!"

Mu Po was furious.

Li Qingshan, with a sheepish smile, shamelessly approached and began to soothe her gently.

Zhang Ya, smiling, saw Li Che and skipped over, leaning against his strong chest.

She watched the two elders bickering affectionately with a smile.

"Darling."

"Hmm?"

"We should be just as affectionate when we're old."

Zhang Ya's eyes were filled with warmth.

Li Che rubbed her head.

"Sure."

Zhang Ya's lips curved, her dimples blooming.

Suddenly, she thought of something, "Husband, did we forget something?"

"Hmm?"

"Xi Xi is still at Golden Light Peak."

"Oh, it's fine. Let her stay there. Tonight, we can thoroughly study the 72 Bone-Tempering Techniques you created."

"Huh? Is there that many?"

...

...

Li Qingshan still had his pride and did not owe Li Che the divine essence crystal.

The next day, he delivered the Eight Apex Divine Essence Crystal.

"Ah Che, please thank Horse Face for me. This time, he blocked the sneak attack from that divine archer on Dragon Mountain..."

"When we have the chance, let's invite him for a drink."

Li Qingshan said with a smile.

Although he knew the likelihood of drinking with Horse Face was slim.

This type of divine archer, lurking in the darkness, would not easily reveal their position.

"Dragon Mountain? We can kill him together when the opportunity arises," Li Che narrowed his eyes.

Li Qingshan stretched lazily, "I've broken through the Divine Appearance Realm, and our 'Qing Xiu Niu Ma' can start taking action again."

Li Che's eyes lit up.

"However, those who have joined the Corpse Deity Sect and received the Corpse God's teaching seal seem to know about your Ox Demon's ability to detect the Corpse Curse Seal..."

"They will probably all withdraw."

"We might not have the chance to take action."

Li Qingshan felt a bit disappointed.

Those who received the Corpse Curse Seal should be able to guess that after his breakthrough, he would undoubtedly go on a killing spree.

Hearing this, Li Che smiled.

"Forget it. The Corpse Deity Sect has been dealt a heavy blow, and the Sect Leader and Inspector left behind a Seven Elements Corpse God Envoy... They won't make any moves for a while."

"But once the 'Temple Deity Resonance' operation begins, the Corpse Deity Sect will undoubtedly rise again."

"We can't ignore their threat."

Li Qingshan said solemnly.

Like the previous night.

The Nine Dragon River became restless, and the Four Divine Mysterious Temple was attacked by a flood dragon from the river...

A riot almost broke out, which was difficult to suppress.

The Corpse Deity Sect...

One couldn't let their guard down.

After saying a few words to Li Che, Li Qingshan continued to coax his wife.

This wife, if he didn't coax her well, it wouldn't be long before she'd be in a bad mood.

...

...

Time flowed like sand between the fingers.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

During these seven days, Li Che immersed himself in cultivation.

The sky over Golden Light City became clear and bright, and the air, even during snowfall, was incredibly fresh.

The city's security reached an unprecedented level.

During this time.

Li Qingshan organized an operation for 'Qing Xiu Niu Ma'.

As a result, they only killed a small sect leader from a Beggar Sect branch who hadn't had time to escape and had received the Ten Capitals Corpse Curse Seal.

Because the Beggar Sect's upper echelon had been eradicated by the Ox Demon, the entire Beggar Sect fell apart. This sect leader, hoping to take advantage of the situation, was caught by 'Qing Xiu Niu Ma'.

Li Qingshan felt regretful. Having just broken through the Divine Appearance Realm, he was ready to showcase his strength and formally notify the various powers in Golden Light City that the Horn-breaking Sky Hammer Li Qingshan was back in action.

As expected, the Corpse Deity Sect's followers withdrew, just as they had anticipated.

Luohua Lane.

In the small courtyard, the wind howled.

Whoosh—

Suck—

Countless snow and wind were blasted and shattered.

Li Che wore a tight-fitting black outfit, his blood and energy hot and turbulent, as if a Dragon Elephant phantom appeared behind him!

His muscles and bones roared, and his spine straightened like an enraged dragon.

Li Che's fist and moves were swift, his punches powerful.

His stomach churned, and with immense strength, he crushed the Seventh Rank Superior Corpse Qi Coagulation Pill.

The pill's coating shattered, and its potent effects surged through his limbs and bones.

The molten blood and energy coursed through his meridians, and the force he exerted with each move was terrifying!

Suddenly.

Li Che's eyes narrowed, and his fingers curled like hooks, gripping and twisting the courtyard's air, forming five white ribbons!

Then, on Li Che's fist, a silver glow burst forth!

Silver Gale!

Although it was only a faint trace, it sent a terrifying boom through the air!

The air seemed twisted and torn.

He stood, his boiling blood and energy melting the courtyard's snow.

Li Che exhaled, his eyes glistening, filled with vigor.

"Silver Gale... I've succeeded!"

"Integrating the Silver Gale into my self-created True Intention Ultimate Technique, the Dragon Elephant Vajra, results in an incredibly terrifying burst..."

Li Che raised his palm, and between his fingers, a silver arc darted.

The Corpse Deity Sect's Corpse God Envoy used Incantation Copper Corpses to refine the Silver Gale.

But he used his incredibly powerful molten blood and energy to condense it.

The power of the Silver Gale was even stronger and more domineering.

Ordinary martial artists couldn't compare, but with the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit enhancing his martial talent, it was different.

"With the Silver Gale's power, I can reach the Tower Ascension State without the Heavenly King Divine Chess Piece, and my burst will be close to the Master Realm Advanced."

"The Heaven Foretelling Bureau's Inspector promised to take me to that Fire Eye Shocking Strange Temple. I wonder when we'll go..."

"The Divine Chess Piece in Thunderbolt City, which I've touched so much, is exhausted..."

"I'm starting to miss the Temple Deity."

Li Che sighed.

The Temple Deity Chess Piece was exhausted...

A sense of security vanished.

Fortunately, he could soon enter a new Strange Temple.

He sat cross-legged.

As his blood and energy calmed, the sky's falling snow returned, gently landing on his shoulders.

Li Che tore through the air and retrieved the rich and dense Seven Yuan Divine Essence Crystal from the Qiankun Space.

It was the only Seven Yuan Divine Essence Crystal he had.

Before his eyes, a flash of light.

{Dao Fruit: Pure Heart (Lv.3, 9%)}

Holding the Seven Yuan Divine Essence Crystal, Li Che's eyes glistened with brilliance.

He wondered how high a Seven Yuan Divine Essence Crystal could take him!
