Chapter 223: My Power Surpasses All, How Dare a Mere Corpse God Challenge Me? [Monthly Vote Request]



Li Che had always been perplexed by the high status of the Demon Child within the Corpse God Sect.

Despite his mediocre strength and cultivation, he could command the loyalty of the Curse Golden Corpses, the elite forces of the Corpse God Sect.

Now, Li Che finally understood the reason behind this.

It was a matter of rank.

The rank of the Corpse God!

This Demon Child of the Corpse God Sect had the bloodline of a Corpse God flowing through his veins. Perhaps he was a descendant of a Corpse God or a vessel for the manifestation of a Corpse God.

In any case, there was an extremely important connection between the Demon Child and the Corpse God.

This connection was so significant that the Corpse God Sect was willing to pay an enormous price to protect it.

Each Curse Golden Corpse was equivalent to a Supreme Great Grandmaster in existence, although in terms of martial arts skills, they couldn't compare to a true Supreme Great Grandmaster.

However, the Divine Aura they emitted was as powerful as the True Divine Aura, capable of rivaling it.

Li Che believed that cultivating a Curse Golden Corpse was no easy task and required a substantial cost.

Yet, they had deployed five Curse Golden Corpses to protect the Demon Child!

Now, as Li Che witnessed the Corpse God aura erupting from the Demon Child, he understood the reason.

The Desire Corpse God!

One of the six Corpse Gods of the Corpse God Sect!

This wasn't just the will of the Corpse God but the actual spirit of a Corpse God residing within the Demon Child's body, awakening at this very moment.

It was like facing a revived Corpse God in person!

Li Che's mind quickly processed this information, and he instantly comprehended the Demon Child's high status within the Corpse God Sect.

Therefore, Li Che didn't underestimate his opponent in the slightest. The oppressive pressure of the terrifying rank emanating from the Demon Child affected everyone except for the Divine Wisdom True Ape Divine Form, which remained unaffected.

The other two Temple God Divine Forms also felt the pressure.

Consequently, Li Che immediately switched to a cautious mode, opting for a prudent approach. He brought out his ultimate trump card—a mythical weapon, the Qitian Mask!

From a distance, the Demon Child straightened his body, his cold eyes locking onto Li Che.

It was a gaze from a superior being, akin to a deity looking down upon the mortals of the world.

Whoosh—

The evening breeze seemed to transform into countless icy streams, chilling to the bone!

The small body of the Demon Child floated in the air, and a massive Corpse God seal hovered behind him, swirling continuously.

His voice was devoid of emotion, and even his divine nature was not apparent, yet it thundered through the entire mansion, drowning out the howling winds.

"How dare you kill my reincarnation! You're courting death!"

"Die—!!!"

As his words fell, an extremely terrifying killing intent surged forth.

The word "die" reverberated endlessly, echoing through the heavens and earth.

In almost an instant, the small body of the Demon Child disappeared from its original spot, only to reappear in front of Li Che, who was covering his face with the Qitian Mask.

Intense death and corpse auras erupted from the Demon Child's body.

A piercing scream burst forth.

"Die—!!!"

A terrifying red light blossomed, like a dam bursting, unleashing an unstoppable torrent.

The rolling waves of death and corpse auras filled the entire mansion, echoing with a thunderous roar.

In that moment, the mansion was saturated with these auras.

The death and corpse auras should have been freezing cold, but at this moment, with the Demon Child as their source, they erupted like the sun, radiating all its light and heat.

Intense and scorching, it was as if the world was on fire.

An indescribably terrifying will swept through, overwhelming everything in its path.

Ah—!!!

At that instant, within the entire Heavenly Origin Dao City, all the Corpse God Sect's heretics who sensed this terrifying will, those who had been taught the Corpse Enchantment Seal by the Corpse God, felt the most terrifying existence in the world right beside them.

They were incredibly close!

They trembled and knelt on the ground, including the Corpse Messenger of the Upper Sixth Division.

At this very moment, even if they were to be slashed by swords, they wouldn't dare move an inch.

Li Che donned the Qitian Mask, and with his cultivation at the Three Pures rank of Heaven Mimicking Earth Transforming Spirit Bright Ape, he finally had some ability to manipulate this mythical weapon.

But at this moment, even Li Che's face beneath the mask twitched slightly.

Was this the true will of the Corpse God? Even when channeled through the Demon Child's body, it was incredibly terrifying!

The Divine Aura of a Supreme Great Grandmaster couldn't compare, nor could the will of a Supreme Great Grandmaster who had achieved the unity of heaven and man.

Even a top-tier Supreme Great Grandmaster like You Liqing couldn't match this.

Perhaps...

Only a Supreme Martial Saint who had gathered the Five Elements and achieved the ultimate unity of the Five Elements could unleash such a terrifying will, one that seemed to transcend the illusory and descend upon the world.

Li Che, standing so close, felt his heart pounding. Even with the Qitian Mask covering his face, he sensed the overwhelmingly powerful will of the Corpse God.

It was as if his mind was about to be invaded, and he would be branded with the Corpse Enchantment Seal, becoming a Corpse Slave under the Corpse God's command.

Beneath the Qitian Mask, Li Che's eyes snapped open in anger.

"Monster!"

His rebuke was like a clap of thunder.

The Golden Treasure Eight Treasures Thunder Dragon Staff instantly fell into his hand, and with a snap, it trembled, releasing a surging Divine Aura.

On his robust body, hot blood flowed, and his exposed skin turned a dark red, almost like molten iron.

Within his dantian, the human body's grand elixir alternately contracted and expanded, and the Divine Aura condensed from the five organs erupted from the grand elixir, twisting into a single force.

It was like five giant pythons coiling around the Thunder Dragon Staff.

In an instant, the staff seemed to crackle with thunder, almost as if it had taken on a physical form.

"Corpse God? You think you can crush me with your rank alone?"

His words were bold and arrogant.

Golden monkey hair flew vividly on the mask, full of life.

In the Demon Child's scarlet eyes, ripples finally appeared.

"Qitian..."

The Desire Corpse God's scarlet eyes blazed fiercely.

"Impossible! Qitian... Impossible!"

However, Li Che paid him no heed. After activating the Qitian Mask, his entire being erupted with power in an instant.

Countless staff shadows overlapped, as if they were about to shatter the void itself.

They converged into one.

The ultimate strike, Qitian's one staff!

The Demon Child floated before Li Che, and the overwhelming death and corpse auras were swept aside by a single staff strike. In that moment, the staff seemed to transform into an indestructible steel blade.

As Li Che stomped his foot, his body twisted, and the staff he swung was fiercely powerful.

The nine taut muscles on his back, like giant pythons, suddenly relaxed, releasing a terrifying force with this strike.

Boom, boom, boom!

It was like a fully drawn bow suddenly released, and the accumulating power surged into the staff.

Mo Tong's scarlet eyes suddenly widened, and he recklessly unleashed the power of the Corpse God's rank, wanting to oppress the person before him, making it difficult for them to move, allowing him to brand them with the Corpse Enchantment Seal!

However...

It was useless!

At this moment, Li Che was unrestrained and exuberant, completely unaffected by the Corpse God's rank, free and unfettered, reveling in freedom!

No heavenly beings could oppress him with their rank!

Boom!

The entire mansion's ground trembled and shook!

The earth cracked, and from the gaping fissures, stones flew, and within a radius of several zhang, the ground seemed to have been deeply sunken by Li Che's footsteps, exploding with spider web-like concentric cracks!

Then, with the force of a mountain, the power surged from the ground, up through the spine, into the arms, and into the Golden Treasure Eight Treasures Thunder Dragon Staff!

Thunderous lightning flashed!

It was as if a thunder dragon had burst out from behind the clouds, revealing an enormous head!

The staff was swung out!

The sound of breaking wind vanished, the tearing blast disappeared, and even the countless staff shadows disappeared!

In an instant, that dazzling golden divine staff seemed to have vanished without a trace!

Mo Tong's scarlet eyes instantly erupted with a surge of furious rage!

"How dare you!"

A furious roar!

Terrifying death energy and corpse energy swirled, and the pressure became even more intense!

But it was useless!

"Under the heavens, what can I not dare to do?"

A calm voice carried boundless dominance.

No heavenly beings could suppress me.

What is the Corpse God compared to?

Mo Tong raised his arms, trying to block the staff!

His current reincarnation body was too weak, just a child, not yet grown, still immature!

The power he could exert was limited, and the divine nature he could bear was insufficient!

In terms of physical body and strength, he was inferior to the Bull Demon.

But after the person in front of him put on the mask, he completely ignored the divine pressure!

Unparalleled dominance!

Finally!

The missing staff appeared, but it was already floating above Mo Tong's head.

In an instant.

All the airflow behind Mo Tong was blasted apart by this staff, turning into pure vacuum!

Mo Tong's eyes revealed the fury of the Desire Corpse God.

In an instant, it was completely overwhelmed by the terrifying blast of energy!

Boom!

Countless rocks exploded and flew in all directions!

Mo Tong's small body, floating in mid-air, was instantly smashed by the staff, slamming hard into the ground, and a dense blood mist rose and swirled in the air!

The entire mansion seemed to split in half in an instant, with a staff-shaped crack appearing on the ground, a foot wide!

Wild winds raged and howled past!

Mo Tong's head, which had just been attached to his neck, was completely pounded into his chest cavity, and his flesh and blood were all blurred and shattered.

Every bone was crushed into powder.

Only the death energy and corpse energy that filled the heavens and earth continued to surge!

Li Che panted heavily.

The Qitian Mask instantly reappeared on the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, quietly resting within it.

Li Che approached Mo Tong's corpse, clenched his fist, and took away Mo Tong's Heaven-Earth Jade.

Then, he stamped his toes.

Clenching his fist, his entire body disappeared.

The covering Heaven and Earth Chessboard also instantly dispersed!

The suppressed death energy and corpse energy, at this moment, seemed to rise like billowing smoke, surging into the sky!

And the Desire Corpse God's lingering rank pressure, after being suppressed for so long, radiated out in all directions!

...

...

The Six Ministries Corpse Messenger knelt on the road, suddenly springing up from the ground.

Beneath the jade mask, a horrified look appeared!

"How is this possible?!"

The Desire Corpse God's will descended, controlling the Corpse God's reincarnation body...

It had disappeared!

The Corpse God Sect had six Mo Tongs, and each Mo Tong... was a reincarnation body closely connected to the Corpse God.

These Mo Tongs were highly compatible with the Corpse God.

Once they grew up, they could bear the power of the Corpse God!

And the Corpse God Sect cultivates a Mo Tong every hundred years!

But the Mo Tong cultivated by the Corpse God Sect... had been killed!

How could... they be killed?

The Corpse God's will was hidden within Mo Tong's body, and once it erupted, the pressure of the Corpse God's rank was almost unstoppable below the Martial Saints!

"It's over..."

The Upper Rank Six Ministries Corpse Messenger muttered.

He didn't even have the courage to go and investigate.

Feeling the wildly spreading Corpse God's aura!

Behind him, death energy and corpse energy surged, and his entire body entered it, and in just two breaths, he escaped using the Space-Time Corpse Technique!

And it only took two breaths...

Within the Heavenly Origin Dao City.

One powerful aura after another erupted!

"How dare the Corpse God Sect release the Corpse God's aura within the Dao City?!"

From the Temple Guardian Office of the Dao City, someone roared.

The next moment, powerful blood energy pierced through the night like billowing smoke, like an angry dragon emerging from the river, domineering and overwhelming!

The Divine Guard Army also had surging blood energy.

From the Heaven Observation Bureau's treasure tower, an incredibly powerful primordial spirit swept over, and then a primordial spirit shadow appeared, leaping into the air.

The Su, Yun, Zhou, and Zhong families, the top three great clans within the Heavenly Origin Dao City, were also shaken, and powerful figures soared out to investigate.

The originally peaceful night in the Dao City was instantly shattered.

...

...

Amidst the ruins, smoke and dust billowed.

Several figures with powerful auras emerged, each with the Three Flowers revolving and blooming, and with a flick of their sleeves, their auras stirred, tearing through the smoke and dust.

Instantly, the scene within the ruins was revealed.

Whoosh!

Two golden lights shot out from the ruins, rushing out of the Dao City.

"Two Curse Golden Corpses?"

"Under our noses, do these mere Curse Golden Corpses still dare to escape?"

A cold voice echoed.

It came from the powerful figures floating around the ruins.

Then, two dragon roars exploded, and the powerful blood energy fused into two dragon shadows, waving their claws and roaring as they charged out!

Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing the Divine!

Boom!

The two Curse Golden Corpses couldn't even resist, and were directly blasted apart by the dragon-shaped fist aura!

They exploded into pieces of flesh!

"Yu Liqing, you're still so impulsive... If we capture these two Curse Golden Corpses, we might be able to find out about the Corpse God Sect's heretics hiding within the Heavenly Origin Dao City!"

A calm voice floated up.

"Iron Commander, look at him. He's so eager to kill, it's like he's trying to silence a witness and destroy evidence. I heard that General You's junior brother seems to have joined the Corpse God Sect... Perhaps You Liqing has joined them too! I suggest we investigate him."

The voice of Hun Bulin echoed from within the illusion.

"Huang Jianjiu, are you looking for death?!"

"The evil ones of the Corpse God Sect must be eradicated. These Incantation Golden Corpses are just standard Corpse Beans refined by the Corpse God Sect, and their brains have been ruined. What clues could they possibly have?"

You Liqing's angry voice reverberated from within.

"Your junior is one of the evil ones from the Corpse God Sect..."

Huang Jianjiu's tone was still infuriating.

"Alright, stop arguing."

"It seems like the aura of the Desire Corpse God, one of the six Corpse Gods of the Corpse God Sect..."

"Looking at this corpse, the deceased is... a Demon Child of the Corpse God Sect. This Demon Child is extremely difficult to cultivate and requires a highly compatible Corpse God Divine Nature..."

"He was actually killed within the Heavenly Origin Dao City!"

"Who did this?"

Even the powerful cultivators were surprised when they discovered the identity of the deceased.

"It's probably the Netherworld again. This kind of confrontation can't be hidden, but we only sensed it after the battle ended..."

"And the only ones capable of setting up such a barrier to block our perception and investigation are from the Netherworld."

"The Netherworld has done this repeatedly."

You Liqing's cold voice echoed.

"The Netherworld..."

"Such a Netherworld..."

...

...

The moonlight was chilly, and the clouds that obscured the moon's radiance slowly dissipated in the wind.

In the Thunder Listening Alley, within a large courtyard.

Li Cheng's five fingers tightly grasped the anchor point of the Flying Thunder Chess Piece that had been left in the courtyard.

His entire body returned as he grasped the chess piece.

Powerful qi and blood energy exploded and spread out, forming rolling waves of bloody mist that slapped and pushed in all directions.

It struck the courtyard wall, surged upwards, but was forcefully suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, unable to escape even a fraction.

Li Cheng, wearing the Bull Demon Mask, stood in the center of the courtyard. As time passed, his scorching qi and blood gradually calmed down.

"The Demon Child... finally taken care of."

Li Cheng removed the Bull Demon Mask and slowly exhaled.

His entire body relaxed, and his swollen flesh gradually returned to its normal size.

He changed into a clean ink-colored shirt.

Li Cheng sat on the corridor under the eaves.

Closing his eyes, he recalled the battle.

After donning the Qitian Mask, he indeed felt a different sensation, and the power of the Primordial Heaven Level Staff increased steadily, almost ignoring any pressure!

The feeling of freedom, dominance, and wildness made Li Cheng feel a bit overwhelmed.

Living a life of freedom and liberty is what everyone strives for.

"In fact... the Corpse God's will controlled the Demon Child's physical body, and the power exerted wasn't that high. It was mainly due to the overwhelming pressure of the Corpse God's rank."

"Without this rank pressure, even with the support of the Corpse God's will, the Demon Child would be equivalent to an Incantation Golden Corpse."

Li Cheng recalled the sensation of that staff strike, and it indeed felt similar to smashing an Incantation Golden Corpse.

"

T

"Of course, Long Tai might also have hidden trump cards... I can only say that my overall strength is now superior to Long Tai's."

A smile curved Li Cheng's lips.

Finally, in this Dao City filled with powerful cultivators, he had barely gained a shred of self-preservation power.

But it wasn't enough...

Even now, he still had to be extremely cautious in his actions. Maintaining the Heaven and Earth Chessboard required his utmost effort each time; otherwise, it was easy to be discovered.

"Hmm, and tonight I used the Yin-Yang Extreme Collapse Annihilation Dragon Tooth Bullet for the first time. This bullet can harness the power of Yin-Yang Extreme Collapse..."

Li Cheng, busy killing the Demon Child, didn't carefully sense the Incantation Golden Corpse that was shot.

The explosion of Yin-Yang Extreme Collapse seemed to have affected the Incantation Golden Corpse.

The compressed annihilation power directly caused the arm of the Incantation Golden Corpse that struck the bullet to break.

Li Cheng nodded in satisfaction.

Compared to the Blizzard Fire God Dragon Tooth, the Yin-Yang Extreme Collapse Dragon Tooth Sniper was even more powerful!

One shot could take down a Divine Essence Great Grandmaster.

A

"I need to continue researching..."

"Combining Yin-Yang Extreme Collapse with Blizzard to merge their powers and create a high-yield terrifying weapon! Then, use the Bodhimanda Lotus of Guanyin as the main battle tank for bombardment..."

"I wonder if there's a chance to blast a Top Three Flowers Supreme Great Master to death..."

Li Cheng was well aware that he was no match for a Top Three Flowers Supreme Great Master.

The gap was still significant.

"

Li Cheng's eyes sparkled.

Thinking of the Embryo Breath Transformation Divine Origin Great Realizer, Li Cheng couldn't help but think of the Great Realizer Elder who taught Su Chuyang in the Su family.

"Regarding Immortal Artisanry, apart from continuing to develop the terrifying weapons of Yin-Yang Extreme Collapse and Blizzard, I should also start working on the Tang Clan's Mechanical Beasts..."

"To break through to level 5 in Immortal Artisanry, perhaps I can only hope for the Tang Clan's Mechanical Beasts."

"I wonder if Sang Yu has prepared the spirit wood I need..."

Li Cheng stretched lazily, and his entire body crackled.

After killing the Demon Child, Li Cheng felt a surge of relief, as if his spirit had become more active and his mental state had improved.

Having eliminated the Demon Child who constantly watched his daughter, Li Cheng was in high spirits.

...

[Name: Li Cheng]



[Bond: Li Nuanxi (Daughter)]

(End of Chapter)In front of him, a radiant light appeared, as if the towering tree that had suddenly emerged from the vast land was waving in the sky.

"Hmm?!"

"The maturity of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit... has actually reached 80%?! Killing a Mo Tong... has such a high feedback?!"

"The value is too high, right?!"

Li Che was a bit surprised, after all, Mo Tong's strength was not really strong...

What was strong was the protection of Mo Tong by those Incantation Golden Corpses!

But in this battle, Li Che did not kill a single Incantation Golden Corpse.

He only unleashed the Five Elements Divine Aura, heavily injuring one, without killing it. According to Li Che's experience, the maturity feedback he gained should not be this high.

So, it was indeed because of killing Mo Tong that he gained something, or it could be said that the Corpse God's will descended upon Mo Tong!

"It seems... with the Qitian Mask on, the pressure of the Corpse God's rank that I ignored is more terrifying than I imagined."

Li Che became pensive.

Suddenly.

Li Che's eyes flashed.

His toes tapped down.

His entire body shot into the center of the courtyard.

A thought moved.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard roared to life, as if there were muffled thunder rolling in the sky, enhancing the perception and feedback of the surroundings.

All the breaths in the courtyard where Li Che was located were sealed off.

The next moment.

Li Che's ink-colored robe and black hair fluttered in the wind.

He raised his hand and flicked his fingers.

A black chess piece instantly shot out.

Impureless Heart · Binding Spirit!

Boom!

That was the spirit he had captured after killing Mo Tong.

The black chess piece floated in the courtyard, slowly twisting and gradually transforming into the small figure of Mo Tong.

Dazed and confused, as if lacking the three souls and seven spirits, he looked a bit sluggish.

Li Che's eyebrows slowly furrowed.

"Just a Mo Tong?"

Li Che felt a bit disappointed.

He had thought that he could take advantage of the situation and capture a bit of the Desire Corpse God's spirit, one of the six great Corpse Gods of the Corpse God Sect.

Li Che, feeling regretful, flicked his fingers.

A black chess piece swelled amidst the storm.

In an instant, it transformed into the tall and robust figure of Xue Dufu.

"My respected master, good evening."

"Tonight's night is truly beautiful."

"Oh! My master, do you want to beat me with your stick again tonight?"

Xue Dufu's brain might not be functioning well due to consuming too many Binding Spirits.

From the beginning of the Dominant Martial Husband's style, he was gradually transforming into a respectful direction towards his perverted self.

Listen, what kind of crude and vulgar language is this?! Li Che raised his hand to cover his face.

It was indeed...

Forget it, the Binding Spirit he raised, he could only endure it himself.

"I'll reward you."

Li Che waved his hand, allowing Xue Dufu to swallow the dazed and confused Binding Spirit of Mo Tong.

"Evening snacks for you."

"Oh! My master, you're too good to me!"

Xue Dufu said respectfully.

The next moment, with a step, he appeared in front of the dazed and confused Binding Spirit of Mo Tong.

Xue Dufu was already very familiar with consuming Binding Spirits.

He stretched out his five fingers and instantly unleashed a powerful force, grabbing at Mo Tong.

However, at the moment Xue Dufu touched Mo Tong's Binding Spirit.

Mo Tong's eyes flashed with a scarlet light!

"Get out!"

Boom!

A powerful force burst out from Mo Tong's body, and under White Wraith's mask, Xue Dufu's eyes narrowed.

He was directly blasted away, and half of his body turned into black mist.

Li Che, who was covering his face, was startled, his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes stared intently at Mo Tong.

But Mo Tong's Binding Spirit floated up, and faintly, an extremely intense and pure death energy was overflowing!

Slowly...

A constantly swirling mark was forming behind Mo Tong!

"Oh! My master, are you trying to beat me up?"

Xue Dufu's half-body was slowly reforming as the black mist gathered.

Li Che couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Xue Dufu.

He took a step forward, and his figure instantly appeared in front of Mo Tong's Binding Spirit.

Mo Tong's Binding Spirit roared continuously!

However, Li Che's chest cavity trembled, and the Impureless Heart Dao Fruit shook. He just raised a finger and lightly pressed down.

Slap!

Mo Tong's Binding Spirit was directly pressed to kneel on the ground, unable to move.

As the owner of the Dao Fruit, Li Che had absolute control over this Mo Tong's Binding Spirit that he had captured.

Li Che's gaze fell on the floating Corpse God Seal.

On it, Li Che felt an extremely pure Corpse God's breath.

This was the Corpse God Seal, different from the Corpse Enchantment Seal...

Completely different!

The Corpse Enchantment Seal, spread by the Corpse God Sect, was the means to transform the believers.

Although the Corpse Enchantment Seal also had ranks, the higher the Corpse Enchantment Seal, the greater the power enhancement it brought, and it could even allow people to accept the power of the Corpse Enchantment Seal, gaining powerful Corpse Enchantment Art power, and achieving the Cursed Silver Corpse and Incantation Golden Corpse.

But the Corpse Enchantment Seal had an extreme drawback.

That is, when facing a high-level Corpse Enchantment Seal, one could only submit and not resist at all.

As for the Corpse God Seal...

Its rank seemed to surpass all Corpse Enchantment Seals.

Faintly, Li Che seemed to see through the Corpse God Seal and felt a terrifying will reviving.

It was as if an extremely terrifying pair of eyes wanted to cross space and time, seeking the Corpse God Seal.

Li Che's five fingers shot out without hesitation.

He grabbed this Corpse God Seal in his palm.

He threw it into the Heaven and Earth Chessboard!

He frantically stimulated the Chess Sage Dao Fruit, forcefully severing the gaze that sought the Corpse God Seal!

...
