Chapter 222: The Five Elements Divine Aura Slayer, You Call for the Corpse God, I'll Summon the Heaven-Reaching Face【Seeking Monthly Votes】

Midnight shadows enveloped the sky, dotted with countless stars.

Dark clouds drifted gently, obscuring the bright moonlight.

The vast Primordial Dao City glowed under the moon's radiance, as if the entire city was slightly luminous. On the hillside, numerous temples adorned the landscape, seemingly drawing the moon's essence down from the sky.

Every place that emitted a faint glow housed a temple.

This was the Odd Temple, which became even more active during the night than in the day.

It was as if the temple deities were awakening from their slumber, opening their mouths wide to absorb the cold moonlight.

Within the Dao City, there stood an extremely secluded pavilion.

In front of the pavilion, dense and intense black vapor swirled and rose, from which a figure in white emerged from a vortex of black mist.

Wearing a white mask like jade, with the character 'Six' inscribed upon it, this was the Upper Rank Six Ministries Corpse Messenger who had left the Demon Child.

Beneath the mask, his eyes were deep and mysterious.

With a snap of his fingers, a wisp of death energy shot out swiftly, piercing into the pavilion.

A moment later, the doors of the pavilion suddenly swung open!

Amidst the howling wind, a faint voice drifted out, "Welcome, guest."

The voice was elusive, its source impossible to pinpoint.

"Eh? A Enchanted Jade Corpse?"

"The Corpse God Sect... truly daring, to act so boldly within the Dao City. Are they certain that all the Divine Embryos have entered seclusion?"

The Corpse Messenger's white robes fluttered, and his jade mask shimmered with a jade-like glow under the moonlight.

"What? Can't I enter the Demon Hunter Tower?"

"Rest assured, guest. The Demon Hunter Tower does not discriminate. We only consider interests. As long as you can pay the price, you are welcome inside."

Hearing this, the Corpse Messenger smiled lightly.

This was the Demon Hunter Tower.

They didn't care if you were a Corpse God; as long as you had interests, you could hire the assassins of the Demon Hunter Tower.

The Corpse Messenger's toes lightly touched the ground, and he gracefully stepped into the pavilion.

Roar!

The gatehouse instantly closed.

Countless flames ignited, and the Corpse Messenger felt a sense of dizziness. The next moment, his eyes cleared.

The interior of the pavilion was a hidden wonderland; it was merely a teleportation entrance.

Upon entering the pavilion, the Divine Essence Array would activate, teleporting one to another location.

However, it should still be within the Primordial Dao City.

Even now, as cultivators deepened their understanding of Divine Essence, they still couldn't create long-distance teleportation arrays.

The surroundings were sealed, with no windows, and space was confined. Additionally, there were Divine Essence Arrays that interfered with detection, making it impossible to perceive one's location, as if space and time had become chaotic.

Even this Corpse Messenger, despite being a Enchanted Jade Corpse, couldn't sense his current location.

"Guest, whom do you wish to kill?"

The faint voice drifted over.

Then, the Corpse Messenger saw the figure seated high above.

The figure wore a jade-colored mask.

It was the Jade Masked Assassin of the Demon Hunter Tower, a powerful figure far surpassing the Five Elders.

The Corpse Messenger's eyes flickered, "The Netherworld."

"The Ox Demon, Hellhound, Divine Monkey, and Yin Yang Impermanence... all must die."

After speaking, the Jade Masked Assassin's expansive black robe suddenly billowed without any wind, and a deep voice echoed.

"The Netherworld... a force related to the Heaven-Reaching Temple. Not ordinary."

"According to the Demon Hunter Tower's intelligence, except for the Hellhound, the others possess Grand Master-level strength..."

"Additionally, the Ox Demon of the Netherworld killed Su Huaili and fought against the West Camp Divine Guard Army's Commander, Dragon Tai, without defeat. This can be considered a Grand Master..."

"So, do you accept this task?" The Corpse Messenger asked calmly.

"The price must increase." The Jade Masked Assassin spoke in a deep voice.

The Corpse Messenger's eyes flickered, "The Netherworld once slaughtered your Demon Hunter Tower's branch in the Golden Light Mansion. Killing the Netherworld is also your Demon Hunter Tower's revenge, killing two birds with one stone, and you still want to raise the price?"

Hearing this, the Jade Masked Assassin smiled lightly, "The one who died was a Demon Hunter Tower assassin from the Golden Light Mansion. What does that have to do with the assassins of the Demon Hunter Tower in the Primordial Dao City?"

Hearing this, the Corpse Messenger also fell silent.

Indeed, the Demon Hunter Tower was a group of cold and ruthless assassins.

Talking about emotions with them was meaningless.

"Name your price."

The Corpse Messenger spoke.

"For the Ox Demon, one Five Elders Divine Crystal, and ten Six Ministries Divine Crystals."

"For the Hellhound, ten Six Ministries Divine Crystals."

"For the Divine Monkey, one Five Elders Divine Crystal, and ten Six Ministries Divine Crystals."

"For Yin Yang Impermanence, a total of fifty Six Ministries Divine Crystals."

The Jade Masked Assassin's expansive robe sleeves slowly lowered, revealing his hands, which held the wind, and he spoke slowly.

The Corpse Messenger's eyes slightly narrowed, and the price was indeed higher than expected.

In total, it required two Five Elders Divine Crystals and eighty Six Ministries Divine Crystals!

This price... was too high!

Only someone with a high status like the Demon Child in the Corpse God Sect, with abundant resources, could afford such a price.

Otherwise, even if he were a strong Enchanted Jade Corpse, he wouldn't dare to spend so many resources to hire assassins.

"What if the task is not completed?"

"Only one Five Elders Divine Crystal as a deposit, and the rest will not be charged..."

"Agreed."

The Enchanted Jade Corpse's palm suddenly turned jade-colored, and a thumb-sized Divine Crystal containing vast Divine Essence shot out.

Brilliant light burst forth from the Divine Crystal.

The Jade Masked Assassin grasped this Divine Crystal.

"Farewell."

After speaking, the Divine Essence Array activated again.

The vast Divine Essence surged like a tide.

The next moment, the Corpse Messenger felt dizzy, and even his divine sense was blocked.

When his senses returned, he found himself back in the entrance pavilion.

Stepping out of the pavilion, the Corpse Messenger's eyes beneath the mask suddenly became sharp, and he abruptly raised his head. Thick death energy and black vapor surged behind him!

"How bold!"

...

...

The night deepened, and thick gray clouds suddenly drifted in.

Under the moonlight, the edges of the dark clouds emitted a faint, cold glow.

On the rooftop, the Hellhound stood quietly, holding an improved Immortal Craft Fire God Barrett.

The calmness of the atmosphere was broken as a pair of deep and dark eyes appeared beneath the horse-faced mask.

The Ox Demon, shrouded in a black robe, had a tear in the middle of its mask, revealing a golden eye. The Star-Snatching Eye shone brightly, and with the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, it enveloped the entire mansion.

Furthermore, it completely blocked all forms of detection, unless a powerful Divine Embryo Realm deity forcefully expanded their divine perception to scan and investigate.

Otherwise, it would remain hidden.

Heaven and Earth Chessboard!

Lock on!

The eyes beneath the horse-faced mask also shimmered with interwoven light.

At the same time, Li Che raised his hand and pressed it against the mask. In an instant, his blood and energy twisted violently, and his body trembled with a roaring boom. Every inch of his muscles seemed to be stacked like steel as they vibrated intensely.

It was as if blood-colored currents were surging on the surface of his body, and divine auras, like dragons breaking out of their shells, coiled around his palm.

Ready to strike!

The horse-faced eyes seemed to connect with the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

The next moment, a powerful divine essence burst forth from his body.

In Thunder Lane, within the courtyard—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, the immortal in the picture's split bodies exploded, turning into dense ink mist!

The vast divine essence flowed back, and in a single thought, Li Che channeled it into the horse-faced body.

Then, the horse-faced figure transferred it all into the Immortal Craft Fire God Barrett. Vaguely, it seemed as if crimson flames gathered into a crimson wrathful dragon, coiling around the slender gun barrel!

Boom!

Like a heavenly thunderbolt falling from the nine heavens!

Suddenly, the eardrums were torn apart!

In that instant, countless waves seemed to be cut apart!

On the crimson barrel of the Fire God Barrett, one vein after another resembled raised blood-colored veins!

Driven by immense power, countless tongues of fire erupted, blooming with extreme brilliance and heat in the darkness!

Hiss! Hiss!

An extremely long black and white Extreme Collapse Dragon Fang emerged from the swirling flames, propelled by the force of the explosion.

The black and white patterns embedded on it spun rapidly, like two chess pieces turning on the board! Silently, it seemed to contain the power to destroy heaven and earth!

The swirling flames enveloped the Extreme Collapse Dragon Fang, resembling a fire dragon emerging from a volcano, baring its ferocious fangs!

Hiss!

The scorching heat distorted the air currents!

At the front end of the Extreme Collapse Dragon Fang, the air currents formed a conical shape, rushing away from the tip!

The speed...

Faster than imaginable!

In the blink of an eye, it had already reached the interior of the mansion.

An overwhelming killing intent poured down!

...

...

The Hellhound's Nether Lotus Divine Pattern on his forehead was steaming with heat.

The Temple Deity's divine essence frantically warned him of danger! It was a danger that made his hair stand on end and threatened his very life!

In an instant, he realized the source of the danger!

Ox Demon!

It had to be the Ox Demon!

In Primordial Origin Divine City, the only one he couldn't stop thinking about and wanted to kill was the Ox Demon!

Even the Temple Guardians didn't evoke such strong killing intent in him.

"What kind of lunatic is this?!"

"Did I provoke him?"

Hellhound gritted his teeth in frustration. He hadn't done anything to provoke the Ox Demon from the Netherworld...

He couldn't understand the reason for his impending death.

Ever since his split body tried to escape from the Golden Light Mansion and caught the attention of the Netherworld, the Ox Demon had been relentlessly pursuing and attacking him!

What had he done?

Had someone hired a Netherworld assassin to kill him? But he couldn't recall offending anyone in Golden Light City either.

Hellhound was completely confused, his small head contorted with a ferocious expression, and the dark circles under his eyes seemed to expand even further.

Suddenly, Hellhound sprang up from the threshold, his feet landing with a thud. Waves of death energy spread out, engulfing the area. He clenched his fist, and two golden beans were thrown out by him.

In an instant, two golden Curse Gold Corpses appeared before him.

He only had two Curse Gold Corpses left for protection.

Originally, there were five, but the Ox Demon had destroyed three of them with a mushroom cloud...

Now, he only had the protection of two Curse Gold Corpses, which was not enough...

Because Hellhound had already heard how Su Huaili had died!

Su Huaili had even summoned the Corpse God Will, but he was still killed!

Moreover, the protection provided by You Liqing to Su Huaili was also from two Grand Masters at the Grand Master level!

Even with such defensive power, Su Huaili was still killed by the Ox Demon!

Hellhound...

Faced a similar fate!

"Ahhhh!"

"Damn it!"

Even when he was hit by the terrifying mushroom cloud fireworks, he hadn't felt such intense fear of impending death!

The encroaching fear and spreading sense of death made the blood vessels in Hellhound's dark circles look like a web!

Death was drawing closer!

Could it be that the Ox Demon had been watching him all this time?

After the Upper Sixth Department Corpse Messenger left, the Ox Demon took action!

The timing was too perfect!

It was as if the Ox Demon had been lurking in the corner, waiting for his protection to leave and for his defenses to be at their weakest, before launching a devastating strike!

This was the pinnacle of hunting prowess!

In an instant...

Hellhound felt like everything around him had quieted down.

All sounds seemed to be swallowed by an invisible force!

Between heaven and earth, only black and white remained!

In Hellhound's bloodshot eyes, a hint of terror suddenly appeared.

Then, a crimson radiance appeared from outside the mansion, like a comet tearing through the night sky!

As fast as heavenly thunder!

"Block it!"

Hellhound screamed!

Although he was a Corpse God's demon child, at this moment, he had only just completed his divine foundation. After all, he cultivated the Corpse God's divine essence law, and it required time to temper it.

The divine essence pressure contained in the Extreme Collapse Dragon Fang was almost comparable to the power of a Divine Essence True Person!

How could Hellhound not be afraid?!

Buzz!

A Curse Gold Corpse burst forth with dazzling golden light, and a golden divine aura wove itself into a golden spear!

In an instant, it gathered into a golden spear, held tightly by the Curse Gold Corpse, who fiercely thrust it towards the Extreme Collapse Dragon Fang!

The tip of the spear seemed to touch the tip of the Dragon Fang, where the divine aura had condensed!

The Curse Gold Corpse's eyes turned bloodshot red, and its bones clanged, stretching and expanding.

The golden spear seemed to bend slightly, bearing the weight of a collapsing mountain!

But in just a third of a breath's time...

The Extreme Collapse Dragon Fang was struck by a powerful force, exploding with a mighty roar!

In an instant, the entire courtyard was filled with a blinding light, an endless, scorching, and dazzling white radiance!

A swirling vortex of black and white emerged, spinning relentlessly, possessing a terrifying annihilation power!

The Enchanted Jade Corpse's crimson eyes narrowed, and in a flash, it was swallowed by the exploding black and white radiance.

Like a giant black and white rotating bowl, it suddenly flipped over, covering the Enchanted Jade Corpse within.

Zzzzzzzzzz—

Countless raging wind currents were pushed aside, swirling in the vortex, clearing a spotlessly pure void!

Numerous crisp cracking sounds exploded, and within, the Enchanted Jade Corpse's Golden Energy raged, clashing with the black and white vortex, like a grinding wheel of annihilation.

Meanwhile, the other Enchanted Jade Corpse shielded the Demon Child, blocking the surging wind and waves.

Carrying the Demon Child, they quickly retreated, moving a hundred zhang away.

But just as they landed...

The Enchanted Jade Corpse's eyes narrowed, its fingers clenched, and its unique Corpse Gold Energy lashed out like a whip toward the air in front.

There...

At some point, a white chess piece was rolling in the air, carried by the currents, spinning endlessly.

Suddenly,

The chess piece was grabbed by a giant palm, like a fan.

In its place...

Was a terrifying and domineering aura, and a towering, oppressively bulky body!

Rumble!

The aura surged, stirring the air, and a deep, muffled thunderous sound erupted from the bulky Ox Demon's body.

The sound of an air burst caused by the domineering aura!

Because, without a word, Li Che had hidden a Flying Thunder Chess Piece within the Extreme Collapse Dragon Fang.

As the Extreme Collapse Dragon Fang exploded, the chess piece was propelled out by the powerful blast.

Under the micro-manipulation of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, it flew towards the Demon Child.

When it appeared within a zhang of the Demon Child, it was finally noticed by the Enchanted Jade Corpse, who lashed out with its Golden Energy to shatter the chess piece!

"Ox Demon!" Li Che roared.

The Demon Child's eyes widened in fury.

You damn Ox!

Killing a child who hasn't even reached the Divine Foundation Realm, and yet you set up such elaborate schemes, not a bit honorable!

No wonder you're an Ox Demon, truly despicable, ruthless, and cunning!

Li Che's eyes beneath the mask were ice-cold, showing no remorse for his assassination attempt.

What's the use of being honorable?

In killing, practicality is key!

Facing this man who fantasizes about his daughter, calling her 'my lady' with every word, Li Che had no desire to exchange pleasantries, not even with a member of the Corpse God Sect.

Li Che had no hesitation or concern.

In mid-air, his fingers clenched into a fist, and with a mighty punch, strands of Divine Aura burst forth from his fist and arm!

He struck out at the Enchanted Jade Corpse's lashing Golden Energy!

Boom!

With just a single collision, a massive shockwave spread, causing the dust within the mansion to be shaken and rise into the air!

The Enchanted Jade Corpse protecting the Demon Child revealed a hint of bewilderment in its eyes.

"Divine Aura?"

"Not the Primordial Dao?"

"What kind of Divine Aura is this?"

In an instant, the Ox Demon's body erupted with a terrifying amount of aura, like a volcano erupting with lava!

Boiling heat waves surged, powerful gusts of air blasted out!

Five types of Divine Aura twisted together, merging into one!

Five Elements Unified!

Dragon Elephant Vajra Transformation!

Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant!

Li Che unleashed his full power, revealing a murderous aura!

A move from the Martial Saint's ultimate killing technique!

Like a dragon and an elephant materialized behind him, the dragon roaring, the elephant trumpeting!

The Martial Dao Will spread from the Ox Demon's brow, expanding outwards!

Dragon Elephant Will, trampling the earth and shattering the heavens!

Because of the close distance, even with the protection of the Enchanted Jade Corpse, the Ox Demon's domineering aura overwhelmed them...

Their eyes became hazy, their brow burning with intense heat, yet they couldn't resist this impact...

In their daze, they saw a giant elephant as large as a mountain, smashing down, the ground shattering, breaking into pieces, the sky torn apart by the dragon!

The Demon Child was terrified, witnessing such extreme physical refinement!

This power was unstoppable!

No, not even a fraction of a breath could stop it!

Instantly, they would be blasted into pieces, scattered across the ground!

Boom!

The Enchanted Jade Corpse roared, its corpse energy and death energy swirling intensely!

Fingers clenched, it forcefully thrust out a punch, colliding with the Ox Demon's domineering strike!

The Five Elements Unified, merging into an unparalleled physique...

Li Che, with no reservations, unleashed a heaven-shaking killing intent!

A move from the Martial Saint's ultimate techniques, a manifestation of Martial Dao Will!

The Ox Demon's body, refined to an extreme, merged the five types of Divine Aura into one!

Li Che, despite his gap with the Primordial Dao Grandmaster, had long since been bridged!

The Enchanted Jade Corpse's arm, as if forged from gold, shattered, unable to stop the Ox Demon's strike!

As if with the force to overturn heaven and earth, it slammed into the Enchanted Jade Corpse's chest!

In an instant, the Enchanted Jade Corpse was blasted back, the mansion's floor torn apart, the Demon Child rolling on the ground, coughing up blood!

In an instant, the Demon Child's hair stood on end as he felt his shadow writhing, and a grandmaster-level assassin emerged.

A pitch-black dagger slashed towards his neck!

The Demon Child's body stiffened with cold, as the Shadow Guard True Man was not only a grandmaster but also a powerful Divine Essence True Person.

The oppressive Divine Essence rank descended upon him.

"I can't block it... I'm completely defenseless!"

The Demon Child was filled with despair.

He couldn't wait any longer for the Upper Rank Six Ministries Enchanted Jade Corpse Corpse God Envoy to return.

If the Enchanted Jade Corpse was here, he would be safe.

But...

He couldn't wait any longer! The Demon Child, with his disheveled hair, let out a piercing scream. In that instant, his body regained movement, and a terrifying Divine Essence aura erupted from within him!

The Shadow Guard True Man, devoid of any emotional fluctuations, swung the dagger without hesitation. Despite the Demon Child's screams, the dagger showed no sign of slowing down.

The dagger sliced across his neck, expertly severing the Demon Child's head!

The head flew upwards, hair flailing wildly! However...

The Demon Child's decapitated head continued to scream incessantly.

As the spinning head was thrown, the headless body grasped it, holding its own head, the mouth on the severed head screaming relentlessly!

A punch sent the Curse Gold Corpse flying, causing its chest to cave in. Li Che, standing nearby, furrowed his brows.

Up until now, the assassination plan had been flawless.

Li Che's eyes deepened as he witnessed the Hell Lotus Divine Pattern on the Demon Child's brow dissolve, as if devoured by some terrifying force.

An intense and fearsome crimson Divine Essence burst forth from the Demon Child's body.

Outside the Demon Child's small frame, an enormous balloon-like aura suddenly expanded!

It was as if an otherworldly force had descended.

With a mighty roar, it arrived!

...

...

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The mild evening breeze stirred the empty streets of Dao City.

Waves of surging air currents rose.

Suddenly, a figure as white as jade shot forth like a bolt of lightning, moving at an incredibly rapid speed!

In the blink of an eye, it covered a distance of a hundred zhang, silently and stealthily.

It wasn't that he didn't use the Corpse Time Space Technique to teleport directly beside the Demon Child.

Instead, he had lost his target and couldn't lock onto the Demon Child's position, rendering the Corpse Time Space Technique useless.

The assassin attempting to kill the Demon Child was clearly a master of space-sealing techniques, a grandmaster of Divine Essence Arrays!

Rumble, rumble...

The figure abruptly halted, and the Jade Masked Corpse God Envoy, with eyes wide beneath his mask, revealed a look of sheer terror.

He clutched his chest, feeling an overwhelming sense of oppression, as if an electric current were exploding within him.

In the abyss, an incredibly terrifying will was descending upon him!

"Corpse God Seal?"

"Desire Corpse Flesh Bodhisattva... Desire Corpse God!"

"My Sect Corpse God!"

Roar——!!!

The Jade Masked Corpse God Envoy trembled uncontrollably and couldn't even muster the strength to move a muscle.

He collapsed to the ground, kneeling before the luxurious mansion.

His head touched the ground, and beneath the jade mask, his eyes were filled with boundless fear.

"Forgive me, Corpse God!"

...

...

Even with the separation of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, the connection between the Corpse God and the Corpse God Sect followers remained unbreakable.

It was a connection on the soul level, a connection of faith!

At this moment, the entire Dao City seemed to tremble.

In many places, death Qi and corpse Qi were uncontrollable.

Numerous people knelt on the ground, as if facing a rank they couldn't bear to look upon!

In the luxurious mansion, Li Che wore an Ox Demon mask, his body towering like a mountain. His terrifying blood and Qi roared and surged, with ten Five Element Divine Auras encircling him.

Each tremor shook the air, causing it to boom!

His eyes were fixed on the distance.

There, the Demon Child, whose head had been severed, was now emitting an even more terrifying aura. Even the Curse Gold Corpse's aura seemed somewhat inadequate before this Demon Child!

"What exactly is this?"

The Demon Child of the Corpse God Sect... What was he?

The burning power of his bloodline...

Could the Demon Child be the offspring of the Corpse God?

Li Che's brows furrowed.

He wasn't overly panicked.

The oppressive feeling was indeed present, an incredibly terrifying Divine Essence rank oppression. Ordinary Divine Essence cultivators would likely be unable to move a muscle under such pressure.

Even Li Che's Niwan Inner Landscape was affected, with nearly all his Divine Foundation trembling.

The Fire Eye Profound Shock Divine Ape Divine Form and the Spirit Bright True Ape Divine Form were also slightly trembling.

It was a suppression unique to the Divine Essence rank.

Rumble, rumble, rumble—

In the Niwan Inner Landscape space, the Spirit Bright True Ape Divine Form, which had been slowly awakening, gradually opened its eyes.

It seemed to pound its chest, letting out an angry roar!

In the distance, the small body of the Demon Child held its own head, and the eyes within the dark circles of the severed head suddenly turned pitch-black.

A terrifying aura, unique to deities, emanated from the Demon Child's tiny body, spreading out in waves.

The Demon Child's body slowly floated, rising from the ground.

He reattached the head to his neck, but as it was facing the wrong way, he twisted it with a sharp crack...

The head rotated one hundred and eighty degrees!

The oppressive rank of the Demon Child's power was like a mountain, overwhelming from behind.

However...

It seemed to have summoned the Corpse God's arrival.

His eyes paused.

"Summoning a deity?"

But the Ox Demon, with a clench of its five fingers, produced a mask with flying golden monkey hair.

A Mythical Weapon!

A Heaven-Reaching Face!

Arbitrary, Arrogant, Tyrannical!

It was slapped onto the face.

You call upon the Corpse God?

I summon the Heaven-Reaching Face!
