Chapter 223: Not Even the Heavens and Earth Can Subdue Me, What Is a Mere Corpse God? [Seeking Monthly Votes]



Li Che had always been puzzled by the revered status of the Demon Child in the Corpse God Sect. Despite not being particularly powerful or highly cultivated, the Demon Child could command the Curse Gold Corpses to do their bidding.

Now, Li Che understood a bit of it.

Rank.

Corpse God Rank!

The Demon Child of the Corpse God Sect had the bloodline of a Corpse God flowing within them, possibly being a descendant of a Corpse God or a vessel for the Corpse God’s descent.

In short, the Demon Child had a crucial connection to the Corpse God.

This connection was so significant that the Corpse God Sect was willing to go to great lengths to protect them.

E

H

Li Che believed that cultivating a Curse Gold Corpse was no easy feat and required immense resources.

Yet, the Corpse God Sect was willing to dispatch five Curse Gold Corpses to protect the Demon Child!

Now, seeing the Corpse God aura emanating from the Demon Child, Li Che understood the reason.

Desire Corpse God!

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

This was not just the will of a Corpse God, but the true soul of a Corpse God residing within the Demon Child's body, now awakening.

It was as if he was facing a truly revived Corpse God!

Li Che's mind raced, instantly grasping the Demon Child's status within the Corpse God Sect.

Thus, Li Che did not underestimate the situation. Apart from the Spirit Bright True Ape Divine Form, the other two Temple Deity Divine Forms felt the oppressive force.

Therefore, Li Che immediately adopted a cautious approach, choosing to act prudently and bringing out his greatest trump card.

He summoned the Mythical Weapon, the Heaven Reaching Face!

In the distance.

The Demon Child, with his body straightened, looked over with cold, cruel eyes.

It was a gaze from a lofty height, akin to a deity looking down upon the ants below.

Whistling—

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

The small body of the Demon Child floated in the air, with a massive Corpse God Seal hovering behind him, continuously spinning.

His voice contained no emotion, not even a hint of divine nature, yet it thundered throughout the entire manor, overpowering all the swirling air currents.

"Who dares to kill my reincarnated body, how audacious!"

"Die—!!"

As the word "die" echoed, an overwhelming killing intent surged forth!

The "die" reverberated endlessly, as if it had burst forth from the heavens!

In an instant, the small body of the Demon Child vanished from its original position, reappearing in front of Li Che, who was covered by the Heaven Reaching Face.

An intense aura of death and corpse emanated from the Demon Child’s body!

A shrill, piercing scream erupted.

"Die—!!"

A terrifying red light burst forth, like a dam breaking, unleashing an unstoppable flood!

The rolling corpse and death auras spread like an endless ocean, instantly filling the entire manor!

Rumbling!

Though death and corpse auras were supposed to be extremely cold, at this moment, they burst forth from the Demon Child as if radiating all the light and heat of the sun!

Burning and scorching, hot as fire!

An indescribable, terrifying will overwhelmed and swept over!

Ah—!!!

At this moment, all the evil followers of the Corpse God Sect in Primordial Dao City, those who had been bestowed with the Corpse Curse Seal, felt the presence of the most terrifying entity right beside them!

It was extremely close to them!

They all trembled and knelt on the ground.

Even the Upper Sixth Department Corpse Messenger was kneeling.

At this moment, even if they were to be killed by swords and knives, they dared not move an inch.

With the Heaven Reaching Face on, Li Che, who had cultivated the Three Pure Ones Rank of the Heaven Mimic Earth Enlightenment True Monkey, finally had the ability to activate this Mythical Weapon!

But at this moment, Li Che's expression behind the mask was slightly moved!

Is this the true will of a Corpse God?

Even when released through the Demon Child's body, it was extremely terrifying!

A

Even a Supreme Grand Master of the Apex Three Flowers Rank, like You Liqing, could not compare!

Perhaps...

Only a Martial Saint who had gathered all five qi at the Apex Three Flowers Rank could unleash such a terrifying will, almost as if it had crossed the void to manifest!

Li Che, standing close by, felt his mind reverberate. Even with the Heaven Reaching Face, on, he still sensed the overwhelming will of the Corpse God!

It felt as if his mind was about to be invaded, and he would be branded with the Corpse Curse Seal, becoming a slave of the Corpse God!

Behind the Heaven Reaching Face, Li Che's eyes snapped open in anger!

"Abomination!"

A rebuke, like a thunderclap!

The Profound Gold Eight Treasures Thunder Dragon Staff instantly appeared in his hands, trembling and shaking, with an overwhelming Divine Aura surging forth!

His massive body, with scorching blood flowing, almost turned a blackish-red, as if forged from molten iron!

Within his dantian, the human great pill contracted and expanded, the Divine Aura power condensed from his five organs surged out, twisting into a single force!

Like five dragon pythons coiling around the Thunder Dragon Staff!

Instantly, it seemed as if thunder roared, and the Thunder Dragon Staff was nearly activated to its full potential.

"Corpse God? Do you think you can crush me with just your rank?"

Arrogant, domineering, and overbearing!

Golden monkey hairs fluttered vividly on the mask!

The Demon Child's crimson eyes finally rippled!

"

The Desire Corpse God's eyes glowed crimson even more intensely!

However.

Li Che didn’t care. After activating the Heaven Reaching Face, he unleashed all his essence, energy, and spirit in an instant.

Innumerable staff shadows piled up, as if about to tear the void apart!

All converging into one!

A decisive strike, the Heaven Reaching Staff!

The Demon Child, floating in front of Li Che, the overwhelming death and corpse auras were swept away by a single staff strike. The long staff seemed to transform into an unbreakable steel blade at that moment.

With a sudden stomp of his foot, his body twisted, and the long staff was swung fiercely through the air!

The nine sinews on his back, like dragon pythons, suddenly loosened, releasing terrifying power in that single strike!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Like a fully drawn bow suddenly released, the power built up and converged into that one staff strike.

In the blink of an eye, the ground beneath the entire mansion trembled and shook violently. The earth cracked, and from the crevices, stones flew out, creating a spider-web-like pattern of cracks spreading in a ring.

Then, with a mighty force, the ground shook, sending a shockwave up the spine, through the arms, and into the Profound Gold Eight Treasures Thunder Dragon Staff in Li Che's hands!

A thunderous flash of lightning!

Like a dragon emerging from the clouds, a massive head burst forth!

The staff was swung out with a cracking sound, tearing through the air.

The sound of ripping and booming vanished, and even the countless shadows of the staff disappeared without a trace. In an instant, the dazzling golden staff seemed to vanish into thin air!

Xing Hong's eyes widened with rage.

"How dare you!" he roared.

Terrifying death energy and corpse energy swirled, and the oppressive force became even more intense.

But it was useless.

"Under the heavens, what can I not dare?" Li Che's voice was calm, yet carried an air of supreme dominance.

"No god or Buddha can oppress me."

What is this Corpse God?

Xing Hong raised his arms to block the staff, but his reincarnated body was too weak, still just a child, not yet grown or matured.

The power he could exert and the divine nature he could bear were limited. In terms of physical body and strength, he was inferior to the Ox Demon.

But the moment the man in front of him donned the mask, he completely ignored the divine pressure.

Unparalleled dominance!

Finally, the vanished staff reappeared, hovering above Xing Hong's head.

In an instant, all the airflow behind Xing Hong was shattered by the staff, turning the space into a pure vacuum.

Xing Hong's eyes flashed with the furious intent of the Desire Corpse God.

Almost instantly, he was engulfed by a terrifying blast of air, and with a thunderous boom, countless stones exploded and flew in all directions.

Xing Hong's small body, suspended in mid-air, was smashed to the ground by the staff, and a dense mist of blood exploded, swirling in the air.

The entire mansion seemed to split in two, with a foot-wide crack appearing on the ground.

A fierce wind howled through, and Xing Hong's head, which had just been attached to his neck, was pounded into his chest cavity. His entire body was blurred and shattered into pieces.

His bones were reduced to powder.

Only the death energy and corpse energy, which filled the heavens and earth, continued to surge and rage.

Li Che panted heavily, and the Heaven-Kissing Face instantly concealed itself again, quietly returning to its place.

Li Che approached Xing Hong's corpse and grabbed the Divine Jade of Heaven and Earth, taking it for himself.

Then, with a swift movement, he disappeared.

The covering chessboard that had shielded the area also vanished instantly.

The suppressed death energy and corpse energy, which had been held back for so long, rose like billowing smoke, surging into the sky.

The oppressive force of the Desire Corpse God's rank, after being suppressed for so long, now radiated and spread in all directions.

...

...

The Upper Sixth Department Corpse Messenger, who had been kneeling on the road, suddenly shot up from the ground.

Beneath the jade mask, a horrified expression appeared.

"How is this possible?!"

The Desire Corpse God's consciousness descended, and the Corpse God who controlled this reincarnated body of Xing Hong...

...had disappeared!

The Corpse God Sect had six Demon Children, and each of them was a reincarnated body of the Corpse God, perfectly aligned with the Corpse God.

Once they grew up, they could bear the power of the Corpse God's descent.

The Corpse God Sect cultivated a Demon Child every hundred years, and now, the one they had cultivated...had been killed!

How could a Corpse God, whose oppressive force was almost unstoppable below the Martial Saint realm, be killed?

"It's over..."

The Upper Corpse Messenger muttered.

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

He could feel the Corpse God's energy spreading wildly.

Behind him, death energy and corpse energy surged, and he stumbled into it. In just two breaths, he used the Corpse Space-Time Technique to escape.

And in just two breaths...

Within Primordial Dao City, powerful auras erupted one after another.

"How dare you release the Corpse God's energy in the Dao City?"

A furious voice came from the direction of the Temple of the Six Ministries.

The next moment, a powerful surge of energy, like a raging dragon, pierced through the night, filling the air with its dominance.

The Divine Guard Army also stirred, their energy rising.

From the Divine Observatory's Treasure Tower, an incredibly powerful primordial spirit swept through, and a primordial spirit shadow leaped into the air.

In Primordial Dao City, the Su Clan, Yun Clan, Zhou Clan, and Zhong Clan, the top three great families, also felt the disturbance and sent powerful individuals to investigate.

The peaceful night in the Dao City was suddenly disrupted.

...

...

Amidst the ruins, dust and smoke billowed.

Several figures with powerful auras emerged, each with the Three Flowers revolving and blooming. With a flick of their sleeves, the dust was blown away, revealing the scene within.

Two golden lights shot out from the ruins, quickly escaping towards the outside of the Dao City.

"Two Curse Gold Corpses?"

"Under our noses, these lowly Curse Gold Corpses dare to flee?"

A cold voice echoed from the powerful figures hovering around the ruins.

Then, two dragon roars erupted, and the intense energy merged into two dragon shadows, waving their claws and roaring as they charged out.

With a boom, the two Curse Gold Corpses couldn't even defend themselves and were smashed to pieces by the dragon-shaped fist aura.

They exploded into a mess of flesh.

"Yu Li Qing, you're still so impulsive... If we capture these two Curse Gold Corpses, we might be able to find out about the Corpse God Sect's heretics hiding in the Dao City."

A calm voice floated through the air.

"Iron Commander, look at him. He's in such a rush to kill, like a villain trying to silence someone and destroy evidence. I heard that General You's junior brother has joined the Corpse God Sect... Perhaps You Liqing has too!" The voice of Hun Bulin echoed from within the illusion.

"Huang Jianjiu, are you seeking death?!"

"The Corpse God Sect's heretics must be eliminated. These Curse Gold Corpses are just standard zombies created by the sect's zombie beans. Their brains are already damaged, so what clues could they possibly have?" You Liqing's angry voice reverberated.

"Your junior brother is a heretic of the Corpse God Sect..." Huang Jianjiu maintained his defiant tone.

"Enough, stop arguing."

"It seems like the aura of a Desire Corpse God... One of the six Corpse Gods of the Corpse God Sect..."

"Looking at this corpse, the one who died... was a Demon Child of the Corpse God Sect. This Demon Child is extremely difficult to cultivate and requires a highly compatible Corpse God nature..."

"And someone killed him right within Primordial Dao City!"

"Who did it?"

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

"It must be the Netherworld again. Such a confrontation couldn't be hidden, yet we only sensed it after the battle ended..."

"And the only ones who could set up such a barrier to block our senses and investigation are from the Netherworld."

"The Netherworld has done this several times now."

You Liqing's cold voice reverberated through the air.

"The Netherworld..."

"Such a formidable Netherworld..."

...

The moonlight, hidden by dark clouds, slowly revealed itself as the wind blew the clouds away.

In Thunder Lane, within a large courtyard, Li Che's five fingers gripped the Flying Thunder Chess Piece anchor point, which had long been left in the courtyard.

His entire body, along with the chess piece, returned to its original form.

Powerful blood energy exploded, forming a rolling mist of blood that spread out in all directions, hitting the courtyard walls and surging upwards before being forcefully suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, preventing any leakage.

Li Che, wearing the Ox Demon mask, stood in the center of the courtyard. His scorching blood energy gradually calmed down over time.

"The Demon Child... is finally dealt with."

Li Che removed the Ox Demon mask and slowly exhaled.

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

He changed into a clean ink-colored shirt.

Li Che sat on the corridor under the eaves.

Closing his eyes, he recalled the battle.

After donning the Heaven-Kissing Face, he indeed felt a different sensation. The power of the Primordial Heaven-Filling Staff increased exponentially, almost ignoring any pressure!

The feeling of freedom, might, and ferocity made Li Che feel a sense of immersion.

In life, isn't the pursuit of freedom and liberty what everyone desires?

"In fact... the Corpse God's will controlled the Demon Child's body, so the power exerted wasn't that high. It was mainly the Corpse God's rank pressure that was too overwhelming!"

"Without that rank pressure, even with the Corpse God's will, the Demon Child would be comparable to a Curse Gold Corpse."

Li Che recalled the feeling of smashing the Demon Child with his staff, which was indeed similar to smashing a Curse Gold Corpse.

"The Five Elements Divine Aura is truly powerful. The Curse Gold Corpse's Golden Aura couldn't block it. Of course, this is also because the Golden Aura is slightly weaker than the Primordial Grand Master's Innate True Aura, and the Curse Gold Corpse is only slightly harder than the Primordial Grand Master in terms of physical defense."

"So, with my current strength... I should have no problem against Long Tai, the Primordial Grand Master. If I wear the Heaven-Kissing Face and unleash the power of this Four Virtues Divine Weapon, I should be able to kill him."

The only Primordial Grand Master Li Che had faced was Long Tai, the Divine Guard Army Commander who protected Su Hu Li.

"Of course, Long Tai might also have some hidden aces... All I can say is that my overall strength now surpasses Long Tai's."

A smile curved Li Che's lips.

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

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, the 'Black and White Extreme Collapse Fire God Dragon Fang' bullet I used for the first time tonight... This bullet can carry the power of black and white extreme collapse..."

Li Che, busy with killing the Demon Child, didn't have time to carefully sense the Curse Gold Corpse that was hit by the bullet.

The explosion of black and white extreme collapse seemed to have caused significant damage to the Curse Gold Corpse.

The compressed annihilation power directly caused the Curse Gold Corpse's arm, which struck the bullet, to shatter and explode.

Li Che nodded in satisfaction.

The Black and White Extreme Collapse Dragon Fang bullet was even more powerful than the Great Avalanche Fire God Dragon Fang! It could basically take down a Divine Aura Grand Master.

As for the Primordial Grand Master... if they were slightly careless, they too would be heavily injured by the Black and White Extreme Collapse Dragon Fang!

"I need to continue researching..."

"Combining the Black and White Extreme Collapse with the Great Avalanche, merging their powers to create a terrifying high-yield weapon! Then, have the Guan Yin Sitting Lotus as the main tank..."

"I wonder if there's a chance to blast a Supreme Grand Master of the Apex Three Flowers Realm..."

Li Che was well aware that he was no match for a Supreme Grand Master of the Apex Three Flowers Realm.

The gap was still significant.

"As for the Embryonic Breath Transformation Divine Essence Grand Master... the chance of blasting them to death is higher than that of a Supreme Grand Master."

Li Che's eyes flashed.

Thinking of the Embryonic Breath Transformation Divine Essence Grand Master, Li Che couldn't help but think of the Great True Person Elder who taught Su Chuyang in the Su Clan.

"In terms of Immortal Craft, apart from continuing to develop the terrifying weapons of Black and White Extreme Collapse and Great Avalanche, I should also start working on the Tang Clan's Organism Beasts..."

"If I want to break through to level 5 in Immortal Craft, perhaps my only hope lies in the Tang Clan's Organism Beasts."

"I wonder if Sang Guan Yin has prepared the Spirit Wood I need..."

Li Che stretched lazily, his muscles crackling.

After killing the Demon Child and venting his pent-up frustration, Li Che felt his spirit rejuvenated, and his state of mind elevated.

Having eliminated the Demon Child who had been constantly watching his daughter, Li Che's mood improved significantly.

...

Name: Li Che

Bond: Li Nuanxi (Daughter)



(End of Chapter)

In the vast expanse of the earth, a towering tree seemed to soar into the clouds, its branches swaying in the air.

"Hmm?" Li Che's eyes widened in surprise.

"The maturity of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit... it's actually reached 80%? Killing a demon child... could have such a high feedback?"

"The cost-effectiveness is too high!"

Li Che was slightly astonished. After all, the demon child's strength wasn't that formidable; it was the Curse Gold Corpses protecting him that were truly powerful.

In this battle, Li Che hadn't killed a single Curse Gold Corpse. He had only unleashed the Five Element Divine Aura, severely injuring one without delivering a fatal blow. According to Li Che's experience, the maturity feedback he gained shouldn't have been this high.

Therefore, it seemed that he had indeed gained something by killing the demon child or, more accurately, by suppressing the Corpse God's will within the demon child.

"It seems that by wearing the Heaven-Reaching Face, I've ignored the oppressive power of the Corpse God's rank, more so than I had imagined."

Li Che's thoughts drifted.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed with determination.

He tapped his foot, and his entire body shot out, appearing in the center of the courtyard.

With a thought, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard roared to life, as if a muffled thunder was rolling in the sky, enhancing his perception and feedback of the surroundings.

The courtyard was sealed, blocking all traces of Li Che's presence.

The next moment, Li Che's ink-black shirt and dark hair fluttered in the wind.

He raised his hand and flicked his fingers.

A black chess piece shot out.

"Imprison God!" A thunderous roar echoed.

This was the demon child he had captured after defeating him, and now he was conveniently taking his soul.

The black chess piece floated in the courtyard, slowly twisting and gradually transforming into the small body of the demon child.

The demon child seemed dazed, as if his three souls and seven spirits were missing, leaving him in a stupor.

Li Che's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Just a demon child?"

Li Che felt a bit disappointed.

He had thought that he could take advantage of the situation and capture a small portion of the will of the Desired Corpse God, one of the Six Corpse Gods of the Corpse God Sect.

With a sense of regret, Li Che flicked his fingers again.

A black chess piece swelled amidst the storm.

In an instant, it transformed into the robust and burly figure of Xue Duifu.

"My respected master, good evening."

"The night is truly beautiful."

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

Xue Duifu's brain might not be functioning properly, perhaps due to consuming too many souls through Imprison God.

From the beginning, his style had been that of a domineering warrior, but now it was gradually shifting towards revering his own perverted nature.

Listening to such crude and vulgar words, Li Che raised his hand to cover his face.

It was indeed...

Oh well, he had to endure the Imprison God he had nurtured.

"Here's a reward."

Li Che waved his hand, allowing Xue Duifu to consume the dazed demon child's Imprison God.

"It's late, and I'm giving you a little treat."

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

Xue Duifu replied respectfully.

In the next moment, he took a step and appeared before the dazed demon child's Imprison God.

Xue Duifu was already very familiar with consuming Imprison God.

His five fingers shot out like hooks, emitting an extremely powerful aura, and he fiercely grabbed at the demon child.

However, the moment Xue Duifu touched the demon child's Imprison God, the child's eyes flashed with a scarlet light.

"Get out!"

A powerful force erupted from the demon child, causing Xue Duifu's White Impermanence mask to shrink in fear.

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

Li Che, who had been covering his face, immediately reacted, his eyebrows furrowing as he stared intently at the demon child.

The demon child's Imprison God floated up, and from it, an intensely pure death Qi overflowed!

Slowly...

A constantly swirling seal formed behind the demon child!

"Oh! My master, are you trying to beat me with your tricks?"

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

Li Che didn't bother to respond to Xue Duifu.

Taking a step forward, he appeared before the demon child's Imprison God.

The demon child's Imprison God roared continuously.

However, within Li Che's chest, the Pure Heart Fruit trembled, and he merely raised a finger and gently pressed down.

Slap! The demon child's Imprison God was directly forced to kneel on the ground, unable to move.

As the owner of the Fruit, Li Che had absolute control over the demon child's Imprison God.

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

Through it, Li Che sensed an extremely pure Corpse God Qi.

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

Completely different!

The Corpse Curse Seal was a method used by the Corpse God Sect to convert their followers.

Although the Corpse Curse Seal also had different ranks, the higher the rank, the greater the power boost it provided. It could even allow someone to accept the power of the Corpse Curse Seal, granting them powerful Curse Corpse techniques, leading to the creation of Curse Silver Corpses and Curse Gold Corpses.

However, the Corpse Curse Seal had a significant drawback.

When facing a higher-ranked Corpse Curse Seal, one could only submit and had no power to resist.

As for the Corpse God Seal...

Its rank seemed to surpass all Corpse Curse Seals.

Through the Corpse God Seal, Li Che seemed to sense a terrifying will awakening.

It was as if a pair of extremely terrifying eyes were piercing through time and space, seeking out the Corpse God Seal.

Li Che's fingers shot out without hesitation.

He grasped the Corpse God Seal in his palm.

Throwing it into the Heaven and Earth Chessboard!

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