Chapter 180: The Bull Demon Cannon, Divine Essence True Person, and the Netherworld's Arrival (Part 1)
Click! Click!
Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning! A sudden downpour rages, and the rumbling thunder rolls in from the distance, gathering into raindrops that lash at the city of Golden Light.
Shangguan Qinghong squats on a chair, gazing at the tumultuous rain outside the window, and the steamy mist that shrouds the world. She can't help but let out a sigh.
"What a storm..."
Shangguan Qinghong murmurs to herself.
She plans to call out to Li Che, asking him to wait until the rain lessens before leaving.
But Li Che raises his oil-paper umbrella, his ink robe fluttering, and charges headlong into the raging storm.
It's as if he's challenging the heavens in a fierce struggle.
On the rooftop.
Lu Yao and the Chief Inspector are enjoying a game of chess over tea, while Lin Xiu stands by quietly, observing.
The eaves are draped with a curtain of raindrops, constantly falling.
Below the rooftop.
Li Che's Immortal in Painting avatar stands with an oil-paper umbrella, allowing the raging raindrops to batter the umbrella, causing it to shake and vibrate, sending up a shower of fine rain powder.
The misty rain shows no sign of stopping.
Suddenly, all the rain in the world seems to pause for a moment.
A formidable pressure descends, silencing the heavens and earth in an instant! The rolling thunder clashes, and countless raindrops explode into rain powder, transforming into a hazy mist.
A dazzling golden light shines forth!
Tearing through the pouring rain, it momentarily dispels the darkness! That is... a Golden Core!
A Divine Essence Golden Core!
Standing amidst the rain, the Immortal in Painting Li Che feels an overwhelming force pressing down on him, and the oil-paper umbrella he holds is instantly distorted and deformed by the pressure.
His body softens, his face pales, and he coughs up a mouthful of blood.
His toes touch the ground, splashing water droplets, and he frantically retreats! The Immortal in Painting avatar, possessing only Profound Vein and Divine Foundation Realm cultivation, faces this terrifying pressure from the Divine Essence True Person that seems to shake the very heavens.
It's impossible to resist!
"Divine Essence Golden Core!"
On the rooftop.
Huang Xilong's toes touch down on the tip of the rooftop.
Like a sharp spear piercing the heavens! His black robe flutters, and the golden mask on his face is battered by the wind and rain.
His eyes glow with a profound and brilliant divinity that spreads from his body, and a Divine Essence Golden Core rises from behind him!
To kill a Profound Vein martial artist, a mere woodcarving master in the early stages of the Divine Foundation Realm, is an easy task.
Huang Xilong is confident of a swift victory.
With a thunderous clap, a single palm strike could end his life!
His gaze sweeps indifferently towards the water droplets on the ground where Li Che's toes had touched, and he is about to pursue Li Che, who is fleeing towards the Heavenly Divination Bureau.
"Escape? Can he really escape?"
Huang Xilong doesn't even need to take a step forward; he clenches his fist, and countless water vapors are condensed in his palm. His powerful divine sense trembles, and its ripples spread out like waves! Countless raging raindrops seem to freeze in place.
The four corners of the world shake, and the energy emanating from the Divine Essence Golden Core behind him seems to resonate with the heavens.
In an instant, it spans ten zhang, then a hundred zhang...
The raindrops gather together, transforming into an incredibly sharp sword.
Huang Xilong stands with his hands behind his back, his eyes cold and emotionless. He snaps his fingers, and the sword trembles.
In the world, the sound of a sword rings out, and countless surging divine essences almost resemble a volcanic eruption!
The powerful divine sense, merged with the golden core's divinity of the Divine Essence True Person, instantly solidifies the sword light, making it as real as a dragon, winding and roaring as it approaches!
With a killing intent, it splits the seemingly solidified rain curtain in two!
The scorching waves of energy are pulled, and in an instant, it stretches over a hundred zhang!
It coils around the neck, aiming directly for Li Che's head! However...
Huang Xilong's sword strike, which he thought was a sure kill, suddenly explodes! A dazzling golden light, accompanied by a roaring sound like an angry dragon, shoots through the heavens, as if it had anticipated Huang Xilong's attack and instantly pierced through his sword aimed at Li Che!
Bang!
A powerful and scorching heat erupts, colliding with the rain sword and exploding into a dazzling fire!
The resulting shockwave forms ripples that spread out and wash away the rain curtain, leaving it clean and clear!
The Immortal in Painting avatar of Li Che is instantly struck like a heavy hammer, and the aftermath propels him uncontrollably backward.
But before he hits the ground, a powerful divine essence envelops him, and he is gently caught like a falling leaf.
Lu Yao's face turns cold, his white robe flutters, and his divine essence erupts from his palm, supporting Li Che's body.
"Hunter God Pavilion!"
A murderous intent surges in Lu Yao's eyes.
He has high hopes for Li Che's woodcarving talent and plans to bring him to the Dao City as a talented member of his team.
To have his own talent attacked at the gates of the Heavenly Divination Bureau is unacceptable!
The golden-faced man from the Hunter God Pavilion, without a doubt, is the pavilion master of the Hunter God Pavilion in the city of Golden Light.
To kill a Profound Vein martial artist, Li Che, who is only at the early stages of the Divine Foundation Realm...
They actually sent a Divine Essence True Person-level pavilion master?!
"Hunter God Pavilion... truly shameless!"
Lu Yao curses coldly.
He swiftly flicks his sleeve, and countless divine essences in the world are stirred, forming an incredibly thick and invisible wall in front of him, blocking the exploding rain and the blast of the shockwave.
If not for the fire from the heavens that shot down Huang Xilong's rain sword, Li Che would have already become a cold corpse!
The Divine Essence True Person is different from a Great Sage.
The Divine Essence True Person possesses a vast divine sense, and by condensing the golden core's divinity, they can resonate with the divine essences in the world, making their methods extraordinary. Taking a life from afar is just a common skill for them.
Lu Yao's eyebrows furrow.
He stares intently at the scene in the pouring rain!
On the rooftop, Huang Xilong's eyes also flicker with surprise!
His killing move has been countered?!
This sword...
Appearing out of thin air, merging with the pouring rain, even Lu Yao, a Divine Essence True Person, couldn't detect it immediately!
In Huang Xilong's eyes, Li Che is already dead! But suddenly, an attack strikes with pinpoint accuracy, hitting the rain sword that Huang Xilong had condensed using the Octuple Apex Divine Art!
Unless the opponent was prepared...
Hmm? Huang Xilong's eyes narrow behind his golden mask.
A trap!
This Li Che...
Is just bait! Boom!
A roaring sound echoes from afar, and countless raindrops explode.
But before the booming sound can get close, a golden light silently approaches.
It's a crimson Bodhi bullet!
Intricate patterns are engraved on its surface, and a shining 'Soldier' character is imprinted on it, as if lava flows within.
Fire God Bodhi Bullet!
Horse Face, a thousand miles away, captures the soul!
"Horse Face!"
Behind the golden mask, Huang Xilong's killing intent surges.
He brings his fingers together and snaps them.
In an instant, the surrounding air was compressed, forming layer upon layer of solid barriers!
Even the rain seemed to freeze and seal within!
However...
The sharp and slender Fire God Bodhi bullet resembled a crimson dragon emerging from a volcano, roaring with rage and carrying scorching heat capable of incinerating everything in its path.
Its terrifying penetration power was evident as it instantly pierced through the layers of air barriers, tearing through the Divine Essence True Person's spiritual power and overwhelming divinity within the barriers.
Huang Xilong's eyes narrowed, a hint of fear creeping into his heart.
The power of Ma Mian's divine sniper had increased, and vaguely, he could sense a threat.
Nevertheless, Huang Xilong was, after all, a Divine Essence True Person. Ma Mian's sniping power, though formidable and elusive, was not enough.
But, a Divine Essence True Person was not to be underestimated.
Behind him, the golden core in his Dantian revolved, enveloping Huang Xilong in a subtle golden veil.
Ding!
The Immortal Craft Barrett, loaded with Fire God Bodhi armor-piercing bullets, fired, striking Huang Xilong's golden veil with force.
Invisible ripples spread, creating unceasing waves of disturbance.
Huang Xilong's divine power expanded, and he pushed his palm forward, causing a mighty surge that seized the rapidly spinning Fire God Bodhi bullet.
Boom!
However, the next moment, a snapping sound reverberated through the heavens and earth.
The Fire God Bodhi bullet abruptly expanded, and the divine chess pieces inside began to collide violently, resembling an avalanche's thunderous roar.
Boom!
The terrifying explosion swept through, igniting a fiery blast. The raging, turbulent divine power, filled with corrosive force, eroded Huang Xilong's divine strength.
"Vicious!"
In Huang Xilong's Niwan Palace, his divine power roared, surging to suppress the explosive fire, and his body swayed in the torrential rain.
His figure glided through the air, akin to a falling leaf in the rain.
He kept shifting directions, preventing Ma Mian from accurately sniping him.
Suddenly, Huang Xilong sensed something and looked down.
He discovered a figure on the ground, shrouded in a black robe, its head raised, revealing a hideous bull demon mask with a single vertical scar across it.
"When did..."
Huang Xilong was shocked.
He hadn't noticed this person's appearance!
His fingers pressed down, gathering divine power from the raindrops, transforming it into a terrifying sword light that fiercely struck the ground where Bull One stood.
However, the next instant, Huang Xilong felt scorching heat.
The masked figure's body stretched, like a taut bow releasing its tension, accompanied by a booming sound.
Scorching hot blood energy surged and swirled violently.
Though hot, it carried the chill of a corpse. The air rippled with faint undulations, and the mere vibration of blood energy was enough to push away the raindrops falling from the sky.
Buzz!
The divine essence shattered, soaring straight up.
It struck Huang Xilong with full force.
Huang Xilong's countless rain swords, which he had been suppressing, all exploded.
The tall, dark figure had already stepped on the air currents and ascended.
"A Great Sage?!"
Such blood energy!
Such divine essence!
Undoubtedly, this was a Great Sage who had tempered his physical body to perfection, both inside and out. A Divine Essence True Person was indeed stronger than a Great Sage, and one could even say they surpassed them. But...
The prerequisite was to keep the Great Sage from getting too close.
The physical body of a Divine Essence True Person was far inferior to that of a Great Sage, unless the Divine Essence True Person had also broken through to the Great Sage realm.
Otherwise, if a Great Sage inflicted severe damage to their physical body, the impact would be enormous.
"There's actually a Great Sage ambushing me?!"
"In Golden Light City... which Great Sage is it?"
Huang Xilong's eyes grew solemn.
However, facing the charging Great Sage Bull One, he stomped on the void, and his divine power erupted from his Niwan Palace. His primordial spirit swayed, resembling a true god breaking free.
He pinched his fingers into a seal.
A divine power secret art!
Huang Xilong vanished from his original spot, reappearing behind the Great Sage Bull One.
Huang Xilong clenched his fists, and the massive Divine Essence Golden Core floating behind him glowed brightly, its divine power surging and pouring into his body.
He flung his arms wide open.
The overwhelming repulsive force was like an unstoppable shockwave, slamming into the Great Sage Bull One.
Bull One raised his arm, bracing against the shockwave, his muscles seeming to cry out in agony.
He drew his firewood saber from his waist, and in an instant, it transformed into a crescent moon saber amidst the raging storm.
Blood energy coiled around the saber, and with a single hand, he unleashed his divine essence, sweeping it horizontally to sever Huang Xilong behind him.
However...
This sudden change...
Startled everyone in an instant.
The divine essence crescent moon saber...
The firewood saber had become a Guan Dao?!
Could it be...
Xue Dudu?!
A Great Sage... Xue Dudu?!
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Huang Xilong trembled, his eyes flashing, and his heart churned with shock and awe.
Xue Dudu... wasn't he killed?!
Could this be Xue Dudu, the burly warrior wearing the hideous bull-headed mask?
Playing tricks!
Huang Xilong's spirit instantly solidified, his eyes gleaming, and he pinched his fingers into a seal, activating the divine power secret art once more.
Why was a Divine Essence True Person superior to a Great Sage...
Because, in Huang Xilong's opinion, the cultivation of divine power from the bizarre temple surpassed the Martial Dao.
He pinched his fingers into a seal, and his golden core trembled, enveloping him in golden killing intent. It was as if he had transformed into a golden bell, unafraid and unyielding, taking the full force of a Divine Essence Great Sage's frenzied slashes.
Dong!
It was like an ancient bell, sealed away for ages, had been struck.
The thunderous explosion sent shockwaves rippling through the air.
The terrifying impact spread out in concentric circles, clearing a dry area on the ground.
...
...
In the distance, within the Treasure Tower of the Heavenly Divination Bureau.
Lu Yao shielded Li Che, his eyes electric, fixed on the sudden battle and slaughter unfolding.
His eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
The Hunter God Pavilion Master...
And a Great Sage?
Was that Great Sage Xue Dudu?!
With such a distinctive crescent moon saber, there could be no other Great Sage in Golden Light City capable of such feats.
The Supervisor, Hu Yingyue, appeared, leisurely playing his erhu, his eyes also reflecting a hint of shock.
He glanced at Li Che, whose face was ashen, clearly severely injured.
"You're lucky, kid. A Divine Essence True Person wanted to kill you, and you managed to survive."
Hu Yingyue sighed.
Lu Yao had reacted swiftly, but the sniper bullet that suddenly shot out was even faster.
It was Ma Mian who had saved Li Che's life.
The Netherworld indeed had a close relationship with Li Che.
