Chapter 196: Dao Fruit's Second Transformation, Summoning Mythical Beings, and Erasing a Mysterious
Chapter 196: Dao Fruit's Second Transformation, Summoning Mythical Beings, and Erasing a Mysterious Temple (Part 1)
In the blink of an eye, Li Che's eyes shone with a radiant glow, deep and serene as an ancient well.
[Dao Fruit: Pure Heart (LV4, 0%)]
Finally... it's done!
As the third Dao Fruit obtained by Li Che, the progress had actually been somewhat slow.
The Chess Sage's Dao Fruit had already reached LV4 before this Pure Heart Dao Fruit, mainly because the cultivation of the Pure Heart was not an easy task.
This time, the reason for the rapid progress was primarily due to Li Che's continuous absorption of the Sixth Rank Divine Essence Crystal for three consecutive days, making up for the delay in progress.
Additionally, he had also absorbed the divine essence power of a Primordial Spirit Transformation realm cultivator and six Black Armored Blood Guards...
Finally, the Pure Heart Dao Fruit was pushed to its completion.
Li Che's black hair danced wildly, his eyes opening and closing, and deep within his pupils, a wisp of white mist seemed to swirl, gradually filling his eyes.
The next instant, an overwhelmingly powerful force erupted, and even though Li Che had already reached the Grand Master realm, with an invincible physical body and formidable strength, he was still pulled into the vast and boundless heavens without any resistance.
Vast, ancient, and majestic—this was how Li Che had always felt about this world.
A towering Dao Tree rose from the ground, spreading its branches and leaves like a vast net. As it swayed gently, the veins on each leaf seemed to be clearly visible under Li Che's gaze.
Li Che's spirit trembled slightly, and the Dao Tree's leaves shone like jade, swaying lightly in the breeze, rustling like the sound of the world turning.
Numerous Dao Fruits hung on its branches, shimmering with radiant light.
Among them, a white Dao Fruit burst forth with pure brilliance, like a low-wattage light bulb, shining and illuminating the surroundings.
Pure Heart Dao Fruit!
The Dao Fruit fell from the Dao Tree, descending towards Li Che.
A fierce wind blew, and turbulent currents surged.
Li Che felt his black hair whipping in the wind, his ink-black robe fluttering wildly.
He raised his hand and touched the floating Dao Fruit, and in that moment of contact, an invisible current seemed to surge through his entire body!
In an instant, Li Che felt as if his soul had become clear and pure, as if all impurities had been washed away.
It was like lying in a warm pool, so comfortable that he couldn't help but feel sleepy.
Li Che didn't resist this sleepiness; in fact, he couldn't resist it at all. His eyelids fluttered, and he slowly closed his eyes.
The world fell silent, and even with his eyes closed, everything he saw was a soothing white.
Time seemed to pass slowly.
When Li Che slowly opened his eyes again, he felt an unprecedented sense of refreshment, as if he had been cleansed countless times, leaving him spotless.
Drip, drip, drip...
Raindrops gathered on the eaves, forming beads that fell like a continuous line.
Li Che clearly felt everything; his Primordial Spirit had become clear and pure, though it hadn't grown stronger, but it had become incredibly refined.
Additionally, he felt a sense of his soul being cleansed, and a connection with his physical body without any barriers.
His eyes opened wide, without joy or sorrow.
The light before him seemed to flow like a long river of time, quietly flowing.
[Dao Fruit LV4, Second Transformation, Divine Ability Embryo (Pure Heart - Summon Divinity) Promoted, Acquired Divine Ability (Pure Heart - Summon Divinity)]
Pure Heart Dao Fruit...
Second Transformation!
Divine Ability, Summon Divinity?! Li Che's eyes flickered slightly, as Summon Divinity was promoted from Summon Divinity Embryo...
What is Summon Divinity?
Li Che had no idea, but the divine ability was certainly higher than the divine ability embryo, at least in terms of growth potential, which was beyond doubt.
After a deep sleep that thoroughly cleansed his spirit, Li Che's entire body felt relaxed, his soul refreshed, and his overall mental state was better than ever.
His breathing was long and steady.
Li Che's eyes narrowed.
Before him, the information changed.
[Summon Divinity (Divine Ability): Summon Divinity, Darkness as a Tide, Pure as Light, I Summon Mythical Beings]
[First Heaven: Summon Deities]
[Shattered Divinity, Return of the Soul, Deities Come to Me, I See the Divine]
[Second Level: ???]
...
Li Che furrowed his brows, looking at the flowing light before him, his heart trembling slightly.
The amount of information... seemed overwhelming.
Summon Divinity, Darkness as a Tide? It seemed to hint at some great secret, yet it revealed nothing.
Li Che couldn't help but think of the mysterious temples that kept rising from the ground in this world, with temple gods that seemed to be a continuation of the extinguished divine beings...
Li Che's eyes stirred with a slight ripple.
As his cultivation level increased, he learned more... and his reverence for this world grew.
The Grand Master realm was powerful, but only by advancing in cultivation could one see the higher realms, and only then would one understand what true strength and terror were.
"Divinity..."
"All extinguished."
Li Che whispered the words Li Qing Shan had once spoken to him.
For some reason, he felt a slight heaviness in his heart.
It was as if discussing or even thinking about this topic would bring an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Li Che shook his head, dispelling these thoughts.
He continued to study the newly acquired divine ability.
"Summon Divinity... can summon deceased divine beings?"
"Divinity comes to me, and I see the divine?"
Li Che knitted his brows.
According to his understanding, this was the case.
He closed his eyes slightly, and the flowing light slowly passed through his mind, as if instructing and teaching him about the first level of Summon Divinity - Summon Deities.
After a long while, Li Che slowly opened his eyes.
"Summoning Deity Technique... borrowing the power of the gods?"
"This borrowing might be the end of it all."
Li Che's lips curled upwards.
In short, this Summoning Deity Technique was somewhat similar to the Chess Sage's Dao Fruit combined with the Star Plucking Eye, allowing him to absorb the divine essence of the temple deity and condense it into a chess piece.
This, in turn, enabled him to borrow the power of the deceased "gods."
However, compared to the temple deity's divine essence chess piece, this technique was even more domineering and forceful.
Li Che stood up, feeling his mind becoming clearer and more transparent. His primordial spirit seemed to be cleansed, almost glowing faintly, and becoming purer, free of impurities.
The second transformation of the Pure Heart Dao Fruit did not bring about the same intense reaction as the Dragon Elephant Vajra or the Chess Sage's Dao Fruit.
The Dragon Elephant Vajra directly transformed Li Che's body into a forge-like physique, while the Chess Sage's Dao Fruit caused Li Che's primordial spirit to be born prematurely, both experiences filled with pain.
However, this second transformation of the Pure Heart Dao Fruit was more like a soothing massage, a comfortable and silent baptism that gently completed the metamorphosis.
"Borrowing the power of the gods..."
Li Che's eyes flashed.
The next moment, his body, standing under the eaves, leaned forward.
Instantly, his entire being crashed into the wind and rain.
But in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
And reappeared.
Li Che found himself inside the Fire Eye Mystic Ape Enigmatic Temple.
The enigmatic temple was as quiet as ever, with white candles flickering, emitting a subtle dancing flame.
In fact, because Li Che had absorbed so much divine essence, the temple seemed to exude a sense of peacefulness, as if inhabited by sages.
This made the temple officials guarding outside feel extremely uncomfortable.
The enigmatic temple had been unusually well-behaved lately.
As soon as Li Che appeared, the statue of the Mystic Ape Temple God on the altar seemed to tremble slightly.
Li Che's ink-black robe fluttered, and he wore a gentle and harmless smile.
His gaze swept across the statue of the Mystic Ape Temple God...
"Ahh!"
"Don't come over here!"
"You bastard!"
Li Che: "..."
His expression froze slightly.
What had he just heard? Was it an auditory hallucination?
The next moment, his gaze locked onto the statue of the Mystic Ape, and his eyes gradually took on an enigmatic expression.
It seemed like...
He had actually heard the temple deity speaking?
But was the temple deity cursing at him?
Li Che, who was gentle, polite, and well-behaved, how could the temple deity curse him?
Li Che strode forward with his long legs and stood before the altar, staring intently at the Fire Eye Mystic Ape Temple God.
The cursing voices in his ears gradually began to subside, as if they were embarrassed by Li Che's gaze.
Li Che laughed, and his toes tapped, causing his body to float and land gently on the altar.
"Here again... you bastard!"
"Never mind, let him be."
The voice of the Mystic Ape Temple God carried a hint of frustration and a desire to be left alone.
Li Che struggled to suppress his laughter.
The next moment, his palm pressed down on the head of the Mystic Ape Temple God.
On the head that he had rubbed bald.
Technique, Summon Gods!
Soul, return!
Buzzing—
In an instant, Li Che felt the entire enigmatic temple shaking and trembling, and cracks began to appear on the statue of the Fire Eye Mystic Ape Temple God.
Sizzling! Thick death and dark Qi burst forth from the cracks in the temple deity's statue, surging out like a black ink-like flood of serpentine dragons! Li Che's gaze sharpened, and his body instantly retreated, landing on the floor of the enigmatic temple.
Boom!
The sound of the explosion seemed to corrode and dissolve the air in an instant.
Li Che's toes tapped, and his speed reached its peak.
When Li Che had reached the Grand Master Realm, he had transformed his physical body into a Forge Master, a state of extreme perfection where the body's essence was fully refined, like a forge, capable of maximizing the refinement of the body's essence.
It was a state of ultimate perfection.
And now, although Li Che had just stepped into the Grand Master Realm, he had done so with the foundation of a Forge Master.
His physical body was no less formidable than some well-known, seasoned Grand Masters with powerful divine essence auras.
"Death Qi... somewhat similar to the Corpse Deity Sect's death Qi..."
Li Che's eyes sharpened, and his five fingers clenched into a fist, slamming out with force.
A dragon's roar echoed, followed by the bellow of the dragon elephant! A stream of death Qi serpent was instantly shattered by his fist, exploding into a thick cloud of black death Qi.
Li Che's body trembled, and his fist, muscles, and bones all vibrated intensely.
These death Qi serpents were powerful; even a Half-step Grand Master would suffer severe injuries or be corrupted by the death Qi, their flesh and blood eroded.
Ten Thousand Changes Dragon Elephant!
Li Che clenched his fist and pushed forward, his martial arts true power surging, his heart pounding like a furnace. Boundless strength surged, and Li Che unleashed an incredibly resilient divine essence aura.
Li Che even merged his blood Qi and divine essence aura.
The power of the divine essence aura became even more terrifying!
Slap, slap, slap! As all the death Qi shooting out from the statue of the Mystic Ape Temple God was scattered and suppressed by Li Che, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard shook violently.
The next moment, countless Pure Heart divine essence chess pieces trembled, transforming into divine essence mist and turning into strands of silk, drilling into the cracks of the shattered statue of the temple deity.
Gurgle, gurgle...
The Pure Heart divine essence tendrils squirmed, as if absorbing something.
Li Che stood in the enigmatic temple, his arms hanging loosely by his sides.
His blood flowed like thick mercury, emitting a sound like the raging waves of a river.
The man's expression was somewhat peculiar.
You call this Summoning Deity Technique?
However, as Li Che gradually sensed the Temple Deity's Divine Essence manifesting within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, he stopped paying attention to anything else.
No one knew how much time had passed, but within the chessboard...
A Mystic Ape, entirely formed from the Temple Deity's Divine Essence, appeared.
It was as if the Temple Deity's statue had been directly transported from the Enigmatic Temple to the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
A deafening boom reverberated.
Li Che's consciousness returned, and he immediately noticed that the Temple Deity's statue on the altar had completely dried up and shattered into pieces, scattering all over the ground.
Li Che's heart skipped a beat, and he felt the entire Enigmatic Temple trembling!
Boom!
A sudden sense of extreme terror enveloped Li Che's heart.
Li Che landed on his toes at the entrance of the Enigmatic Temple, gazing into the misty tower.
In the next moment, the tower seemed to be split in half by a powerful sword technique, and the mist dispersed as the tower divided into two!
A green finger abruptly emerged from the tower.
Intense death Qi enveloped the green finger, and the overwhelming pressure of its rank was so terrifying that it seemed to freeze the entire world, halting the flow of air.
Even Li Che, who had cultivated seven Divine Foundations, couldn't move a finger under this oppressive Divine Essence rank.
It was horrifying!
It was as if he was about to be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell, never to rise again!
It was like facing a realm of death, with countless death Qi surging and rolling like an ocean, threatening to engulf and devour him.
Compared to this finger, the death Qi python that had erupted from the Temple Deity's statue was like a novice encountering a master.
Li Che's eyes narrowed.
His mind moved, and the Dao Fruit in his heart throbbed.
In the next instant, he vanished from the Enigmatic Temple.
After Li Che's disappearance, the green finger, enveloped in death Qi, descended upon the Enigmatic Temple with irresistible force.
Boom! The walls shattered into dust, and the roof was crushed in an instant. The white candles flickered and were swallowed by dust, vanishing into oblivion.
The entire Enigmatic Temple disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only a deep silence.
The tower erupted in chaos, shaking incessantly with booming sounds.
