Chapter 214: The Divine Monkey Engraving Opens Two Hundred Spirit Orifices, Who Dares to Challenge the Supreme Grandmaster?

Kacha, kacha, kacha!

The spring rain pours down like a torrential storm, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring.

In Thunder Lane, within the Independent Workshop Courtyard, a colossal Divine Form stands amidst the raging winds, enveloped by countless intertwined currents, as if a heavenly thunderbolt were wrapping around it, transforming into its own power!

Drawing upon the forces of heaven and earth, the Divine Form is empowered! Li Che stands in the courtyard, his ink-black robe fluttering, his dark hair flying, sensing the mighty and boundless power of the Divine Essence, a force that oppresses with its rank...

A hint of a smile tugs at Li Che's lips.

He wonders, with this divine monkey, if it's possible to withstand a Divine Essence True Person solely with the power of the Divine Essence.

Facing a Divine Essence True Person who has transcended their Primordial Spirit, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Li Che's Divine Essence techniques are not many, but previously, he had infused the power of the Seven Orifices of the Divine Foundation into the Divine Monkey Ba Lei, and this unleashed killing power also contained the strength of the Seven Orifices.

With the power of the Divine Foundation, he can kill the Divine Form.

However, facing a Divine Essence True Person, without the strength of a Supreme Grandmaster, killing a Divine Essence True Person is not an easy task.

His heart stirs, and a mighty surge of Vitality and Spirit erupts, causing the Divine Essence to go wild, wrapping around the Divine Form, slowly pulling it back into the Niwan Palace.

Boom!

As the Divine Monkey Form is pulled back into the Niwan Palace, Li Che feels an immense power of the Divine Essence, centered on the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows, frantically dispersing throughout his limbs and bones!

Even with his current toughened Supreme Grandmaster physique, at this moment, he experiences bone-chilling pain.

The cultivation of martial arts and the Divine Essence must be complementary.

Even a Divine Essence True Person who specializes in the cultivation of the Divine Essence, their physical body and physique will reach at least the Master Realm Late Stage, whether through the use of pills or diligent tempering.

The strength of the physical body must keep up to bear the impact of the enhanced Divine Essence, preventing it from collapsing under the pressure.

The stronger the Divine Foundation, Divine Form, and even the Golden Pill, the greater the demands on the physical body!

If the physical body is too weak, it's likely to be eroded by the Divine Essence, eventually losing one's sanity, becoming a slave to the Divine Essence, and completely losing one's mind.

Although one's cultivation realm may be high, giving birth to the Primordial Spirit, and control improves significantly, making it much easier compared to cultivating the Divine Essence and Divine Foundation, but if the physical body can't withstand it, it's still extremely dangerous.

Li Che's eyes widen, his pupils flashing with golden light, as the powerful Divine Essence impacts his physical body, causing his muscles, bones, meridians, and blood to vibrate and twitch at an imperceptible frequency.

The Divine Monkey Form, cultivated using the Three Pure Ones Technique, is a divine form forged through arduous cultivation, possessing terrifying power and extremely high requirements for the physical body.

If the physical body is insufficient, it's impossible to withstand, and it will only be shattered by this Divine Monkey Form.

At this moment, Li Che feels his Niwan Palace swelling.

It's as if a world-shaking giant monkey is roaring within his mind, wildly swinging a heavenly thunder staff!

In an instant, Li Che feels his numerous thoughts and consciousness vanish into nothingness.

The Niwan Palace, the origin of the five senses, houses the spirit within.

However, as the giant monkey enters the inner landscape of the Niwan Palace, the entire inner landscape becomes dark and lightless, even the astonishing Divine Form dims its radiance.

The newly formed Worried Dream Osmanthus Rabbit Divine Form, and even the Hundred Turns Worry Dream Divine Form, accelerate their fusion, as if scared, afraid of being struck by the monkey.

In just a moment.

Li Che senses as if he has fallen into a fleeting moment of clarity.

But soon, his perception returns, and a tidal wave of Divine Essence washes over him, accompanied by excruciating pain and a wild and unrestrained force!

Unprecedented pain descends upon his body.

Even with Li Che's current peerless Supreme Grandmaster physique, tempered by the Dragon Elephant Vajra, his physical body is incredibly strong.

However, the pain caused by the Divine Essence is still very real!

Pain!

Li Che instantly breaks into a cold sweat, with fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

His entire body...

It's as if he's been thrown into an enormous cauldron!

Endless divine fire scorches him, causing his skin to sizzle and pop, his muscles twitching and undulating like waves, his bones trembling and transforming!

Li Che understands that this is the Divine Essence nourishing his physical body.

Enduring this, his physical body will gain a significant enhancement and undergo a substantial transformation.

If he can't withstand it, if he can't overcome this trial, his physical body will collapse, suffering a severe injury!

But Li Che is unafraid.

Within his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra's power violently pulsates.

From his Niwan Palace, a high-rank Divine Essence power gushes forth, like a flood bursting through a dam, raging within his body, and scouring it!

His skin, muscles, blood, bone marrow, organs, and even the tiniest acupoints undergo astonishing changes!

Li Che doesn't waste this golden opportunity.

His five fingers clench, tearing the air with a booming sound, and he forcefully pushes his fists forward, tearing open his flesh at the Niwan Palace, and his Star Snatching Eye shines with golden light.

Li Che observes his transformation through the Star Snatching Eye.

Roar!

Countless Vitality and Spirit explode within his body, and his blood flows like mercury, emitting a thunderous roar.

His heart beats, and with each beat, it's as if heaven and earth are being struck by a drum, creating a spreading sound.

His blood explodes, transforming into the shadows of a dragon and an elephant, and the scorching blood seems to be burned by high temperatures, igniting a raging inferno.

The spring rain pours down, and steam rises from the courtyard.

Amidst the rain, he endures the pain and practices his fists of rage", and "ten thousand transformations dragon elephant"!

"Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing the Gods"!

"Primordial Chaos Heaven-Unifying Staff"!

Li Che unleashes the three supreme martial arts techniques, tempering and refining his body, forging a robust and resilient Martial Saint Divine Essence Aura.

On each Divine Essence Aura, there's a faint glow of golden light.

Kacha, kacha, kacha!

In the courtyard, Li Che stands with his dark hair flying, clenching his fists, and each move he makes is extremely slow, but with each move, his muscles twitch and his bones undergo intense changes.

His muscles stretch, like a taut bowstring about to release, and the air currents surge wildly, as if ripples are forming in the air!

After a long time, Li Che's body is stained with crimson blood beads, and he slowly stops his movements.

The courtyard's airflow had been stirred into an uncontrollable frenzy.

"An unparalleled divine form, shedding the mortal body, coupled with the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, perfectly absorbing and refining... Not a shred of this tempering power is wasted, all of it is harnessed!"

Li Che spread his arms, his back muscles writhing like coiling dragons, and a terrifying surge of blood energy radiated from him, dazzlingly brilliant.

At this moment, every part of Li Che's physical body had become a lethal weapon, capable of killing with ease, and even plucking flowers or catching leaves would exhibit unparalleled power.

"The Ten Thousand Transformation Dragon Elephant Divine Energy has reached twenty paths, opening up two hundred acupoints..."

Li Che's gaze lowered, and in the next moment, he raised his arms, and his palms suddenly flipped upwards.

Instantly, his entire body began to glow! Countless blood beads evaporated, and the two hundred acupoints seemed like two hundred white-hot lamps, bursting forth with dazzling brilliance.

"Next, the Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing the Gods Divine Energy, and the Chaos-Heaven Unifying Staff Divine Energy, have all increased."

"Now, my Triple Essence Divine Energy has reached ten paths."

"A major breakthrough!"

Before his eyes, a flash of light flickered.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (Lv. 4, 60%)]



The maturity of the Dao Fruit increased once more, not by much, but for Li Che, it brought a feedback of martial arts insight from the Dao Fruit.

If he could grasp this feedback well, it might even lead to a significant improvement in both the Thousand Paths Lone Blade and the Lingxu Eight Qi Steps, two supreme arts of the Sage Warrior.

Perhaps it could even help these martial arts...

Break through to the Master Realm!

Maybe... it wasn't enough.

Then...

Add another fire!

Li Che opened his mouth, exhaling scorching heat, as if transforming it into an incredibly sharp blade, slicing through the raging airflow in the courtyard.

"Ten paths of Triple Essence Divine Energy, compared to the True Energy of a Primordial Grand Master... How does it fare?"

Li Che closed his eyes, then opened them again, revealing an astonishing brilliance.

An intense killing intent surged from his eyes, sweeping through the air in a mighty torrent.

"Su Huaili..."

"It's time to set out."

...

...

A major event occurred in Dao City, shaking various powers.

The thousand-year-old Yun family, together with the Temple Guardians, had been suppressing and governing the Seven-Element Enigma Temple, but now, one of the temples had suddenly vanished into thin air!

The Enigma Tower, the Enigma Mist, and the Enigma Temple all disappeared simultaneously, leaving no trace in the mortal realm.

For ordinary people, this was a good thing, but for the major powers within Dao City, it was a significant event.

Why did the Enigma Temple disappear into thin air?

This was a major mystery.

Since the birth of the Enigma Temple, even when attacked and suppressed by various experts, it never vanished.

It continued to emanate divinity at all times.

Even in the Great Jing Temple, a great Confucian scholar proclaimed the Enigma Temple's immortality.

However, this theory was now disproven.

An Enigma Temple, vanished into thin air! The Hundred Turns Worry Dream Osmanthus Rabbit Enigma Temple, evaporated from the mortal realm, leaving behind an empty space where it once stood."

In just one night, numerous powerful beings were startled.

Even a Divine Embryo Divine, with his terrifying divine perception, swept through the area, yet found no abnormalities.

The Enigma Temple had disappeared too cleanly, as if swallowed by the Enigma Tower and then vanished into this world by the Enigma Mist.

Although the Enigma Temple had disappeared, the Temple Guardians and the Yun family remained vigilant, still deploying people to keep watch.

However, the impact of this event was too great, shaking the three thousand-year-old families of Dao City: the Yun, Wei, and Zhong families.

Not only them, but also families with hundreds of years of history were disturbed, some even becoming anxious, fearing that the Enigma Temples under their jurisdiction might also vanish.

The Enigma Temple contained both strangeness and threat.

Yet, it constantly emitted divinity, and the closer one got, the denser the divinity became, making it an excellent place for cultivating divine essence monks.

In this world, the rise of divine essence monks was closely tied to the Enigma Temple.

The divine essence techniques and secrets circulating within the Enigma Temple were just the beginning.

The emergence of the Enigma Temple brought with it divinity...

It was the numerous Enigma Temples, sprouting like bamboo shoots after rain, that brought divinity to the world, and it was this divinity that fostered the divine essence system.

If all the Enigma Temples were to disappear from the mortal realm...

Wouldn't it mean that divinity in the world would become extremely thin, or even disappear entirely, causing the divine essence system to collapse?!

Therefore, even a Divine Embryo Divine was stirred to investigate.

Fortunately, only one Enigma Temple had vanished, and it was just a Seven-Element Enigma Temple, so the impact wasn't too severe.

If more and more Enigma Temples were to disappear into thin air...

Even the entire Great Jing might be shaken.

The Enigma Temple brought danger and threat, but also opportunities.

The cultivators of Great Jing preferred to seek opportunities within controllable limits rather than completely eradicating the threat at its source.

...

...

A mighty spring rain poured down upon the mortal realm.

It fell from the sky, hitting the luxurious black tiles and turning into a hazy mist of water.

It seemed to envelop the entire scenery in a veil of mist.

Between the elegant pavilions, curtains danced wildly in the howling spring wind.

Su Huaili, dressed in a spotless white garment, sat in a chair, surrounded by several graceful dancers with bare feet, performing a gentle dance.

A female musician gently plucked the strings, and the soothing sound of the zither echoed.

The dancers moved in sync with the music.

Su Huaili, sitting in his chair, exuded elegance, and as the lord of a city, he appeared even more refined.

The sound of pouring tea filled the air...

First, the tea leaves, then the tea, and finally the essence, poured three times in succession. The green tea water swirled with a rich aroma.

It was poured into a tea bowl and handed to the person sitting opposite him.

That person was none other than the Western Camp Divine Guard Marshal, You Liqing, dressed in golden armor. Even with his restrained aura, he still resembled a terrifying giant beast, his body containing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Yu Liqing took a sip of tea, his expression calm.

"After all these years in Golden Light Capital, your tea-brewing skills have indeed improved, Junior Brother."

Yu Liqing set down his teacup and spoke in a detached tone.

Su Huairi smiled gently, "Senior Brother, please don't make fun of me again. In these years, I've only improved my tea art a little."

Yu Liqing looked at the dejected Su Huairi, shaking his head with a hint of disappointment, as if he felt the frustration of iron not turning into steel.

"The teacher sending you to Golden Light Capital is not giving up on you. Don't overthink it... Golden Light Capital is no ordinary place. That Four Virtues Eight Arms Hell Lotus Wrathful Third Prince Strange Shrine, even within the Four Virtues Strange Shrine, is considered enigmatic and powerful..."

"That was the teacher's preparation for the Little Prince... What a pity..."

Upon hearing this, Su Huairi's eyes dimmed, and a hint of sorrow appeared.

"It's my fault... I failed to protect the Little Prince, allowing him to fall into the hands of the Netherworld's evil beings."

Su Huairi didn't know who killed Ji Haihui, after all, Ji Haihui died within the Obscure Tower. However, the one who turned his body to ashes was most likely the Netherworld.

Even if it wasn't, Su Huairi chose to directly blame the Netherworld.

A cold and murderous glint flashed in Yu Liqing's eyes.

"The Netherworld... How dare those villains! If I encounter them, I will definitely exterminate them all."

"The Netherworld is nothing but a bunch of Divine Aura Grand Masters. How dare they be so brazen."

Yu Liqing was extremely cold, slamming his palm on the table.

Suddenly, Yu Liqing's eyebrows furrowed, and a Divine Guard Army soldier rushed over, drenched, and appeared before him.

The soldier recounted the events at the Hundred Turns Worry Dream Osmanthus Rabbit Strange Shrine.

"The Strange Shrine... disappeared?!"

Yu Liqing's eyes narrowed, and he asked the soldier to recount the details carefully.

"The disappearance of the Strange Shrine from the mortal realm is no small matter. I need to take a look... Junior Brother, take care."

Yu Liqing stood up, and the clanging sound of his armor was both harsh and majestic.

Su Huairi hurriedly stood up as well.

He didn't want Yu Liqing to leave, as he felt extremely safe with Yu Liqing by his side.

"Don't worry, I've assigned Long Tai to protect you personally. Also, I've made backup arrangements... If that Netherworld Ox Demon and Hellhound dare to come, they won't return."

"I've studied the intelligence you provided, and the Netherworld's assassins are just a bit more enigmatic in their methods. In terms of raw strength, they're even inferior to the assassins of the Hunt God Pavilion, so there's nothing to fear."

Yu Liqing glanced at Su Huairi and reassured him.

Su Huairi let out a bitter laugh. What could he say about such arrangements?

However, he truly didn't feel any sense of security.

After all...

When the Netherworld wants you dead at midnight, who dares to keep you until dawn?

In Golden Light Capital, he had seen too many powerful individuals killed by the Netherworld.

Who among them didn't believe they would survive until the very end?

In the end, Yu Liqing still left. The disappearance of the Strange Shrine from the mortal realm was a significant event. Could this be a sign of something?

Yu Liqing, with his subordinates, shattered the spring rain and rushed towards the outer city with powerful energy and blood circulation.

In the luxurious buildings, beautiful female musicians gently plucked the strings of their instruments.

Dancers performed energetically, but Su Huairi was filled with sorrow.

Long Tai sat at a small table, feasting, and seeing Su Huairi's fearful expression, he couldn't help but smile.

Is the Netherworld so terrifying?

Could it scare the direct disciple of the Prince of Pacifying Rebellions like this?

Is it worth it?!

It's embarrassing for the Prince.

But when Long Tai thought of the mushroom cloud fireworks that bombarded Dao City...

The food in his mouth lost its taste.

Su Huairi returned and sat on the table, pouring himself a cup of tea and sighing softly.

He was about to drink the tea.

However, as he lifted the cup to his lips, his movements suddenly froze.

He stared at the calm green tea, his eyes narrowing, and his pupils seemed to pulsate with his heartbeat, expanding and contracting.

He slowly turned his head towards Long Tai, the Heaven-Equalizing Grand Master sitting beside him.

"Long Commander, do you... feel it?"

Su Huairi's eyes were hollow.

"The mighty spring rain, falling silently..."

Long Tai had lost interest in the food for a moment, but he soon resumed his feast.

However, upon hearing Su Huairi's words, Long Tai finally sensed something amiss, and his eating slowed down.

Eventually...

He stopped completely.

He raised his head, his beard flying, and his eyes grew serious.

"Oh right, this heavy spring rain..."

"Is falling without a sound."

...

...

The rain poured down, and time was of the essence.

In the second month of spring, the plum rain showed no signs of stopping.

In the Lingnan region, sometimes a rain shower could last an entire month, and the air was filled with the sour smell of plums fermenting on the ground due to the rain.

In the inner city, within a dark and twisted alley, Li Che wore a straw hat and raised his hand, placing a finger on his brow.

"Tomorrow, Xi Xi will enroll in the Outer Gate of the Divine Sect. It's time to celebrate by killing someone."

Li Che murmured softly.

Su Huairi was like a hidden bomb.

He was an evil person from the Corpse Deity Cult, just like the Demon Child, both of whom had their eyes on Xi Xi.

On the Demon Child's side, Li Che had tried to take action, blasting the main battle tank of the Guanyin Sitting Lotus, exposing his identity, and causing the Corpse Deity Cult to lose three Incantation Gold Corpse-level experts.

Now, the Demon Child's side had strengthened their defenses, and Li Che wasn't sure if he could take him down.

But on Su Huairi's side...

Under Li Che's Heaven and Earth Chessboard perception, Yu Liqing was distracted by the disappearance of the Strange Shrine.

For Li Che, this was an excellent opportunity to strike.

After arriving at Dao City, Li Che had been observing, and Su Huairi mostly stayed by Yu Liqing's side. If something happened, Yu Liqing would rush to his aid immediately.

But against Yu Liqing, a top-tier Grand Master with three flowers blooming at the peak, Li Che stood no chance.

So, Li Che had never taken action.

Now, with his cultivation breakthrough and Yu Liqing's distraction...

Li Che could try to send Su Huairi...

On his way!

He tore apart the void with two fingers and placed a Bull Demon mask over his face.

The black-robed figure's body expanded, their muscles rippling like a coiled dragon, and the large tendons on their back twitched and trembled, shattering the spring rain.

Then...

With a flick of his finger, a black chess piece shot out.

Two figures suddenly appeared out of thin air, growing in size.

One was Xue Dufu, a burly man as large as an ox, wearing a white mask, and the other was Yin Wu Chang, a hidden figure in the darkness with a powerful divine aura, wearing a black mask.

Behind Yin Wu Chang, three assassins from the Lie Shen Pavilion followed.

Niu Mo, towering like a mountain, calmly glanced at the Yin and Yang Messengers of Death.

Then, a painting began to flutter, and Ma Mian leaped out, holding a divine firearm, the Fire God Barrett. He landed on his toes, creating ripples in the rainwater, and with a nimble leap, he reached the rooftop, five hundred zhang away.

Ma Mian found a suitable position.

The divine firearm, with its red-glowing barrel, was raised by him, resembling the furious roar of a dragon.

With a flick of his fingers, five Fire God Dragon Teeth floated in front of Ma Mian, and he grabbed one, inserting it into the Fire God Barrett.

Then...

Sniper!

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard sealed off the luxurious building, blocking all external senses and scans.

Moreover, it connected with Ma Mian's mind, allowing him to lock onto a target from a distance of five hundred zhang!

Su Huaili, holding a teacup, froze at the sight...

In Ma Mian's eyes, the scene was crystal clear.

At the same time...

Li Che adjusted his straw hat and looked calmly at Su Huaili.

The next moment, he slightly tilted his head.

A red-golden light, silent and elusive, like a stream of light from a furious fire dragon roaring with its mouth full of fangs.

The north-south-penetrating light instantly passed through Niu Mo's body and shot towards Su Huaili's forehead!

It was about to shatter Su Huaili's head...

But...

Bang!

A robust and sturdy figure suddenly blocked Su Huaili, raising a large hand like a fan and forcefully swatting at the Fire God Dragon Teeth.

A terrifying sound wave erupted, spreading in concentric circles, causing the dancing girls and musicians to scream in fear and flee towards the building's base.

No one paid attention to them.

For these ordinary people, if they didn't run... the aftermath of the real clash would be enough to shatter them into pieces.

Long Tai's body swelled, growing significantly. Every inch of his skin seemed stretched to its limit, bulging and gleaming with oil.

His clenched fingers slowly crushed the Fire God Dragon Teeth bullet into powder.

Then, an incredibly powerful martial will, akin to a mountain and ocean roar, almost materialized, like a series of continuous mountains pressing down.

"Interesting..."

"

Long Tai's beard flared, his eyes flashing like two bright, white-hot lamps.
