Chapter 178: Celestial Upgrades the Fire God Cannon, Within Its Range, I Reign Supreme (Part 2)
"Sixth Rank Spirit Wood!"
Li Che took a deep breath.
Lu Yao's eyes also narrowed in focus! Sixth Rank!
When it came to the sixth rank, any matter would undergo earth-shattering changes! Li Che actually needed Sixth Rank Spirit Wood?
"Thank you, Senior!"
Li Che's heart was filled with joy.
He hadn't expected that by asking Tang Sanjia to find a harder and more conductive spirit wood, he would actually succeed.
Li Che was searching for these spirit woods to upgrade his Celestial Gatling and Barrett.
The Barrett is good, capable of increasing its power by enhancing its penetration.
But the Celestial Gatling is somewhat lacking.
Naturally, improvements are necessary...
The machine gun is insufficient...
Bring out the machine cannon! Fire God Wrath Dragon Wood...
Perhaps it can be used to attempt the creation of a Celestial Fire God Cannon!
"Why thank you? These spirit woods are generally useless even for woodcarving masters... You can have them if you find them useful."
"In all of Golden Light City, no one can utilize sixth-rank spirit wood. I'm also curious to see what you can come up with."
Tang Sanjia chuckled.
"Lord of the Ridge, how many divine crystals do you need? I'll buy them."
Li Che spoke earnestly.
However, Tang Sanjia casually waved his hand.
"Consider it a gift. If you create something interesting, let me have a look, and I'll consider it payment for the wood."
The grand gesture left Li Che in awe.
Li Che didn't hesitate and directly took the Fire God Wrath Dragon Wood.
A sixth-rank spirit wood, even if no one could use it, was still of considerable value.
...
...
Perhaps the waters of the Nine Dragon River were becoming increasingly agitated, warm and hot, rising up.
This caused the winter's clouds and snow to cease accumulating.
Raindrops continuously fell, pitter-pattering on the mortal realm.
Within a luxurious mansion with flying eaves and upturned corners in the city.
A figure wearing a half-melted golden mask burned a letter to ashes.
He pressed his palm on the table, leaving an indentation.
"Netherworld!"
A cold voice emerged from beneath the golden mask.
As the branch leader of Hunter God Pavilion in Golden Light City, Huang Xilong never imagined he would encounter such vicious competition from a fellow practitioner!
They had used extremely terrifying mechanical techniques.
The terrifying explosion's aftermath was still unforgettable for Huang Xilong.
"Netherworld... Bull Demon, Horse Face, and Sacred Monkey!"
Huang Xilong's voice was deep, filled with anger.
He had received a reprimand from the Hunter God Pavilion in Dao City.
He did bear some responsibility, but he couldn't have predicted that the Netherworld would be so crazy and fierce.
"Now, in Golden Light City, I'm alone... How can I uphold the Hunter God Pavilion by myself?"
Huang Xilong slowly raised his hand, which had indented the table.
"The leader of the Hunter God Pavilion in Dao City asked me to stop distributing tasks and target the Netherworld..."
"But I've been searching in the city for some time, and not a trace of the Netherworld has been found."
"Who is the Bull Demon? Who is Horse Face? Who is the Sacred Monkey?"
"No one knows!"
Huang Xilong's narrative, speaking in a deep, helpless tone.
A Divine Essence Zhenren, hiding his identity, secretly investigated the Netherworld, only to discover...
The core figures of the Netherworld left not a single clue in the city.
This feeling was suffocating.
Huang Xilong sought revenge, wanting to wash away the humiliation he, as the branch leader of the Hunter God Pavilion in Golden Light City, had endured...
But he couldn't find his target! The opponent had slapped him, yet he hadn't even seen who did it.
It was infuriating! Huang Xilong had never felt so suffocated.
The Hunter God Pavilion's business in the city had just started, and now this happened. Huang Xilong felt his luck was truly terrible.
"Li Qing Shan and Nan Lihuo hired the Netherworld... They pretended to be members, but they aren't."
"However... we can start with Li Qing Shan. Perhaps, through him, we can trace the Netherworld."
Huang Xilong's fingers lightly tapped the table.
He had already been reprimanded, so Huang Xilong wasn't in a hurry.
The Hunter God Pavilion's business in Golden Light City was temporarily halted, and Dao City wanted him to wash away the shame. He was no longer in a rush.
Take it slow, uncover the Netherworld, and kill them one by one.
The Netherworld's core trio: Bull Demon, Horse Face, and Sacred Monkey.
Only the Sacred Monkey, with the power of the Temple Deity, could fight a Grandmaster.
The Bull Demon and Horse Face were more cunning and despicable.
Once their identities were exposed and their traces found, Huang Xilong, hiding in the shadows, could calculate their moves.
Huang Xilong, who had risen through the ranks as a killer in the Hunter God Pavilion to become its leader, also took on assassination missions.
"Aside from Li Qing Shan, there's the Second-Rank Guest Minister from the Heavenly Divination Bureau... Li Che."
"This person was suspected to be the Bull Demon... But on several occasions when the Bull Demon was active, someone saw Li Che at the Heavenly Divination Bureau... providing an alibi."
"But... so far, in all of Golden Light City, only Li Che has been suspected of being the Bull Demon."
"The Netherworld's Bull Demon is skilled in mechanisms and employs sinister and vicious methods... Li Che, as the Second-Rank Guest Minister of the Heavenly Divination Bureau, is an exceptional woodcarver... A coincidence?"
Huang Xilong's eyes narrowed beneath the golden mask.
"Li Che..."
Huang Xilong's fingers tapped lightly.
After the Hunter God Pavilion's killer assassinated Zhang Ya and Li Che, the Tide Watching Pavilion's stronghold was destroyed...
It seemed like vicious competition from a fellow practitioner...
But could it also be an act of revenge? Because...
The Hunter God Pavilion assassinated Li Che and Zhang Ya?
Huang Xilong's mind suddenly entertained this thought, feeling it was absurd.
How could this be possible? If it were for this reason...
Are the Netherworld members insane? Li Che is their father!
But once this idea emerged, Huang Xilong couldn't shake it from his mind.
"A coincidence?"
Huang Xilong stood up, wearing the golden mask, and walked to the inn's railing.
Leaning on the railing, he gazed at the hazy rain and mist.
"Is it truly a coincidence?"
...
...
In the drizzling rain.
Falling Flower Alley.
Independent Workshop Courtyard.
Li Che's body steamed with heat, his powerful forge blood surging like a roaring dragon!
Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant!
With a horizontal punch, countless martial arts were refined into one, the dragon elephant roared, bursting forth in a single move!
Terrifying fist aura exploded, causing the air in the entire courtyard to boil and surge, with ceaseless rumbling.
Li Che exhaled and slowly opened his eyes.
"Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant integrates the martial sage's ultimate skills of Primordial Heaven-Spanning and Thousand Mountains Lone Blade, along with the grandmasters' true intention ultimate skills and Xue Dudu's grandmaster ultimate skill..."
"The difficulty of enhancing it increases, and refining martial arts is inherently challenging."
"For my self-created martial sage's ultimate skill to reach the master level, perhaps... I need to create a killing move for Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant!"
Li Che's eyes flickered, his entire being immersed in the scorching blood aura, deep in thought.
The Primordial Heaven-Spanning Staff, a weapon with two ultimate killing techniques, perhaps... the key to transforming a supreme skill.
But what about the killing techniques of the Dragon Elephant Vajra?
How should I create them?
"Huff—"
"Suck—"
A fierce wind stirred within the courtyard.
Li Che calmed his breath, settling his state.
Then, he retrieved the blueprints drawn by Tang Sanjia.
Of course, Tang Sanjia's suggested blueprints for the Avalokitesvara Lotus Main Battle Tank had many elements that Li Che found unappealing.
However, some items incorporating the Tang family's mechanical techniques opened Li Che's mind, and he could learn from them.
He stepped into the house.
Li Che took out the Fire God Wrath Dragon Wood, a gift from Old Tang.
The scorching divine essence and energy instantly enveloped the entire house.
Li Che snapped his fingers, and the Heaven-Earth Chessboard immediately expanded its range.
He drew out the Divine Armament, Lu Xuan Bingyang Sword. The Sixth Rank Spirit Wood was no longer something that could be carved with an ordinary knife.
However, with Li Che's current Immortal Craftsmanship level, even a longsword could give the feel of a carving knife.
"If the machine gun isn't powerful enough, then upgrade it to a cannon..."
"The Spirit Wood Raven needs an upgrade too. The Dragon Fang Bodhi Bullet should be upgraded as well. The 'Soldier' Mechanism Seal can increase penetration, and the 'Travel' Mechanism Seal can boost speed..."
"These Mechanism Seals can be integrated into the cannon."
"The cannon consumes more materials... Fortunately, I have the Immortal Art Fruit, which can replicate and create Raven Bullet Chains."
"Otherwise... The cannon fires a thousand rounds per second... Each bullet fired is a Divine Crystal!"
Li Che muttered to himself.
With his experience in crafting the Celestial Gatling, modifying the Fire God Wrath Serpent Cannon wasn't as challenging as he had imagined. The tricky part was integrating the Mechanism Seals into it.
The sharp edge of the Divine Armament sliced through the Fire God Wrath Dragon Wood, causing sparks to dance and scatter in mid-air.
A dazzling display of brilliance!
This Fire God Wrath Dragon Wood was incredibly resilient, far surpassing fine iron. Without a Divine Armament, it would be impossible to cut through it.
Moreover, this Fire God Wood was an excellent divine essence-conducting Spirit Wood. If the Divine Form Chess Pieces of the Great Avalanche were hidden within, its power would be even more terrifying! Thus, Fire God Wrath Dragon Wood was also an ideal material for crafting bullets.
Li Che activated the Star Snatching Eye, scanning the Fire God Wood, and in his chest, the Immortal Art Fruit throbbed.
Following the blueprint in his mind, Li Che began to work calmly.
Sparks continued to fly!
...
...
Outside the Independent Workshop.
A figure appeared silently and gracefully.
He stood atop a pavilion, his golden mask concealing a pair of piercing eyes.
"Li Che..."
Huang Xilong stared coldly at the Independent Workshop.
The powerful Divine Essence True Person's divine consciousness quietly spread out.
In his consciousness, he only saw Li Che carving a wooden sculpture, honestly and diligently.
Huang Xilong furrowed his brows.
He continued to probe with his divine consciousness.
But there was nothing unusual.
He was confident in his Divine Essence True Person's divine consciousness.
According to the intelligence, Li Che was a very simple and honest woodcarver.
Every day, he diligently carved wooden sculptures.
Supporting his family with his own two hands.
Could it be true?
Could such an honest and diligent person be the Bull Demon?
"Knowing a person's face but not their heart..."
Huang Xilong stood with his hands behind his back. As a killer, his suspicions made him continue surveillance.
A killer has all the patience in the world.
"Three days. I'll watch for three days. If this Li Che doesn't show any signs of being the Bull Demon... I can kill him."
Huang Xilong's eyes turned icy.
Killing Li Che...
Was a task assigned by the Hunter God Pavilion.
He didn't act immediately, only wanting to confirm if Li Che was the Netherworld Bull Demon and eliminate one possibility.
If Li Che was indeed the Bull Demon, Huang Xilong might even be able to capture him and then trace back to find the Horse Face and Divine Monkey.
Bringing the Netherworld, hidden in the dark, to the surface!
"Netherworld..."
Huang Xilong's eyes behind the mask were filled with murderous intent.
The grudge between the Netherworld and the Hunter God Pavilion was now firmly established.
Inside the Independent Workshop.
The expanded Heaven-Earth Chessboard naturally detected Huang Xilong's presence.
And Huang Xilong's pitch-black murderous intent.
"A Divine Essence True Person?!"
"And one who wants to kill me!"
Li Che's expression slightly stiffened, and his movements paused.
But soon, he continued working as if nothing had happened.
In his chest, the Chess Sage Dao Fruit was driven to its limits.
The lines on the Heaven-Earth Chessboard crisscrossed, blocking Huang Xilong's senses while also obscuring his divine consciousness, creating the illusion of diligent carving.
In reality, Li Che was slicing through the Sixth Rank Spirit Wood.
If Huang Xilong discovered that Li Che was using a Divine Armament sword to cut the Sixth Rank Spirit Wood, he would likely guess that he was the Bull Demon.
Huang Xilong felt something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
His divine consciousness was hazy, making him feel uncomfortable.
"The Hunter God Pavilion's Divine Essence True Person, if he hadn't killed him with a hundred and fifty Divine Form Chess Pieces of the Great Avalanche, he wouldn't have survived..."
"A lingering problem."
Li Che exhaled.
A lingering problem at the level of a Divine Essence True Person.
Just thinking about it made him uneasy.
Huang Xilong wanted to kill him, and Li Che also wanted to eliminate him.
But a Divine Essence True Person wasn't someone you could kill just because you felt like it...
Even with Li Che's current abilities, he had no experience fighting a Divine Essence True Person, so he wasn't sure if he could kill this one.
The high-yield Divine Form Chess Pieces of the Great Avalanche, the Avalokitesvara Lotus Bomb, indeed had powerful destructive force.
But the Divine Essence True Person's divine consciousness was formidable, allowing him to sense and capture it in advance, and then teleport away.
Li Che slowly lifted a bright red cannon barrel, polished like a hollow branding iron, of the Fire God Cannon.
This barrel was thick, with a caliber much larger than the Celestial Gatling.
Capable of firing high-yield Divine Form Avalanche Raven Cannonballs!
Closing one eye, he pressed the barrel against the other eye.
Through the cannon barrel, he vaguely saw the golden mask figure standing atop the pavilion.
Caliber is justice.
Within range...
I reign supreme!
If this Fire God Cannon is successfully crafted...
Everything will change.
