Chapter 231: Unwavering Resolve, Joining the Netherworld (Part 1)
Chapter 231: Unwavering Resolve, Joining the Netherworld (Part 1)
Distortion, agony, and wails...
Various emotions and thoughts emanated from Su Heian's Bound Spirit, which slowly emerged.
The pain was so intense that it felt like his soul was being torn apart!
Filled with reluctance, he struggled desperately but couldn't break free. He had no choice but to submit and bow down to a cultivator who was clearly weaker than him.
Such were the emotions emanating from Su Heian's Bound Spirit.
Li Shan Qing's expression beneath his cat mask changed dramatically.
What kind of ability is this?!
He knew who the Netherworld's target was tonight, and this Su Heian was a Great True Person who had reached the Breath Transformation realm.
The terrifying divine aura that erupted earlier created ripples, stirring up howling winds.
This indicated that a powerful cultivator at the Breath Transformation stage had fallen into the hands of the Netherworld.
At this moment, Thunder Dragon had pulled Su Heian back from the brink of death.
Su Heian, twisted and exuding a strong and pure deathly aura, seemed to have been dragged back from the realm of the dead.
Is this the power of the Netherworld? Li Shan Qing realized that he might have underestimated the Netherworld.
He thought the Netherworld was like Niu Mo and Ma Mian, only targeting the Corpse God Sect and killing those who had committed evil deeds.
Exterminating evil and suppressing demons!
But now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
Thunder Dragon said that the Netherworld was the greatest evil in the world, and now it seemed to be heading in that direction.
Were they trying to scare him to death so he would inherit the Ram Horn Heaven-Breaking Hammer?!
Were they trying to dissuade him?
Li Shan Qing's body trembled slightly as he held the Six Departments Divine Crystal. He felt a chill down his spine, as if drenched in sweat.
Pairs of eyes stared at him.
The Netherworld's Thunder Dragon, Niu Mo, Ma Mian, Shen Hou, and the Black and White Impermanence had all appeared, watching him calmly as if waiting for his decision.
Li Shan Qing knew that today, he had probably uncovered the Netherworld's true secret.
The secret of resurrection! Although this resurrection seemed to have significant drawbacks.
Su Heian's consciousness was completely chaotic, and he was in extreme agony, bordering on madness and demonic possession! But, after all, it was a resurrection.
Bringing back a dead cultivator from the realm of the dead was unimaginable.
It was truly incredible!
Li Shan Qing's body trembled slightly.
However, he quickly raised his head, and beneath the cat mask, a resolute belief shone. "I, the Cat-Faced of the Netherworld!"
Li Shan Qing declared firmly.
"These are all evil people, undoubtedly burdened with sins. Even in death, bringing them back from the land of the dead is a form of salvation for them!"
"I believe the Netherworld is a force that hates evil with a passion!"
"I believe in you!"
"So, I will forever be the Cat-Faced of the Netherworld!"
Li Shan Qing's determination remained unshaken, and he was not deterred.
Beneath the Thunder Dragon mask, Li Che's eyes gleamed, sparkling with admiration. It was true that he had begun to appreciate Li Shan Qing.
He hadn't brought Li Shan Qing into the Netherworld because Li Che didn't want to involve him.
After all, Li Shan Qing, despite having the strength of a Divine Essence Grandmaster, faced formidable opponents in the Netherworld...
And the adversaries were beyond Li Shan Qing's capabilities.
Therefore...
Li Che didn't want to harm him.
But Li Shan Qing's persistence was truly profound.
Moreover, Li Che understood that the Netherworld couldn't be solely led by him forever.
"Do you have no regrets?"
"Joining the Netherworld will be dangerous..."
"Now, the Netherworld in Primordial Dao City will soon become the target of many."
Li Che adjusted his Thunder Dragon mask and spoke in a deep voice.
"Su Heian, whom we killed tonight, was an honorary outer sect elder of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect and a direct elder of the Su Clan... He held a high position."
"The Su Clan will go completely crazy and sever ties with the Netherworld."
"The Netherworld is also at odds with the God Hunter Pavilion, the Corpse God Sect, and the Pacifier King..."
Thunder Dragon's voice was low, as if thunder arcs were crackling.
Li Shan Qing took a deep breath, feeling quite shocked by what he heard.
This Netherworld... truly makes enemies everywhere! But Li Shan Qing believed that the Netherworld had its reasons for doing so.
"The God Hunter Pavilion is a venomous and vengeful assassin organization that takes money to kill. They must be eradicated!"
"Don't even mention the Corpse God Sect. In Thunder City, they sacrificed the entire city as an offering. They must be executed!"
"As for the Pacifier King... it's because his disciple Su Huaili joined the Corpse God Sect, became tainted by them, and brought in wolves. They turned Golden Light Prefecture City into a place of smoke and poison, allowing the Corpse God Sect to infiltrate... Their crimes are unforgivable!"
"The Netherworld is right; these people deserve to die!"
"If I, Li Shan Qing, had the power, I would send them all to the Western Paradise one by one!"
Li Shan Qing's cat mask revealed a smile of approval, and the Ram Horn Heaven-Breaking Hammer slid into his grip from his sleeve, with electric arcs crackling.
Li Che looked at Li Shan Qing with a hint of admiration.
This guy, whether due to his cultivation of the Divine Form or his innate nature, hated evil passionately and suppressed demons...
He was genuinely pure.
It's just that his strength was a bit weak.
However, strength can be cultivated and compensated for with external means.
After some thought, Li Che decided to give him a chance, as Li Shan Qing's unwavering persistence had softened his stance, and he no longer refused him.
With a flick of his finger, a white Pure Heart Divine Spirit shot towards Li Shan Qing.
Li Shan Qing raised his hand and grasped the Divine Spirit.
A powerful and pure divinity flowed from the chess piece, surprising Li Qing Shan immensely.
"This chess piece is called Flying Thunder, a specialty from the Netherworld. I've set up an anchor point in the courtyard. If you encounter danger, simply stimulate the Flying Thunder chess piece with your divinity, and you can achieve spatial displacement, arriving at the anchor point." Li Che explained calmly.
Li Qing Shan was stunned by this revelation.
What kind of divine art is this?!
Teleportation?!
"Additionally..." Li Che snapped his fingers again.
Within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, the Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Mother Seal was suddenly extracted and merged into a black chess piece.
With a snap of his fingers, it shot towards Li Qing Shan's forehead, entering his Pineal Gland.
It was as if a wave of water was flowing.
Li Qing Shan felt that within his Pineal Gland, there was now an additional Corpse Curse Seal.
What?!
Corpse Curse Seal?! Li Qing Shan's face paled.
Fortunately, Li Che explained, "This is a Corpse Curse Seal that I have refined and purified. Your Thunder Execution and Evil-Subduing Divine Form requires righteous actions to enhance and strengthen it."
"This Corpse Curse Seal is perfect for you. If you sense any hidden Corpse God Sect evildoers within Primordial Dao City, you can take the initiative to eliminate them." Li Che said.
Currently, Li Che was suppressing the Corpse God Seal, and this Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Mother Seal was useless to him, like a useless bone.
Anyway, Li Qing Shan hated evil with a vengeance, so it was perfect for him.
"Rest assured, it won't corrupt you or turn you into an evil Corpse God Sect member. It will only help you sense the evil members of the Corpse God Sect, but only those who have received the Corpse Curse Seal and whose seal rank is below Seven Yuan."
Upon hearing this, Li Qing Shan's Cat Face mask burst into a dazzling brilliance.
Every inch of his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Good... Good..."
Li Qing Shan understood that the Netherworld had accepted him.
Although...
He might not participate in the major operation due to his weak strength.
However, the pure version of the Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal bestowed upon him by Elder Thunder Dragon provided him with the capital to enhance his own strength!
Absorbing the blood of the Corpse God Sect to enhance his own power!
Li Qing Shan clenched his fist.
"I, Cat Face, will never regret joining the Netherworld!"
Li Che was taken aback and glanced at him before his gaze fell upon Su Heian's Bound Spirit, which was contorted and twisted.
He gave Su Heian's Bound Spirit a brief look, seeing the intense resentment and anger in his scarlet eyes.
Li Che raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
"How dare you harbor resentment against your lord?!"
"You're asking for death!"
White Wuchang Xue Doudfu appeared, wielding a Yan Yue Blade on his broad shoulders. With a shake, he fiercely threw the blade towards Su Heian's Bound Spirit!
On the other side, Shadow Guard Zhenren appeared out of thin air, followed by three Golden-Faced Assassins from Hunt God Pavilion behind him.
Su Heian's Bound Spirit was restricted by Li Che, and he could only roar in anger as he was slowly devoured under the siege...
Li Qing Shan felt a chill throughout his body as he looked at Elder Thunder Dragon, whose eyes flickered with electricity beneath the mask.
How terrifying! But at the same time, he was excited because the stronger the Netherworld became, the more support he would have.
Li Che snapped his fingers again, and the three assassins from Hunt God Pavilion transformed into three black chess pieces, shooting towards Li Qing Shan.
"These three possess the strength of Divine Essence Grandmasters. They are at your command."
"Go and do as you please."
"Subdue evil and execute justice."
Li Che looked at Li Qing Shan and smiled lightly.
"From now on..."
"Behind you..."
"Stands the Netherworld."
...
...
The new member of the Netherworld, Cat Face, left with great satisfaction.
He felt incredibly powerful. Li Qing Shan was thrilled beyond measure, even more so than when he was accepted as a disciple by the Golden Light Branch Sect in Golden Light City.
He felt...
He had joined an extremely mysterious organization!
In the Golden Light Branch Sect, although he also hated evil intensely, there were still many restrictions and evils that he knew of but couldn't do anything about.
After all, in Golden Light City, the Golden Light Branch Sect was powerful, but there were other influential forces that could restrain them.
Not to mention Su Huai Li in the City Lord's Mansion, but even the Temple Warding Commandery, the Heaven Gazing Supervision, the Five Great Clans, and the Five Great Sects...
There were many evils among them that Li Qing Shan knew of but couldn't deal with.
It was not only because of his weakness but also because if he went too far, Nan Yan Huo wouldn't be able to protect him.
But now, things were different!
He was now Cat Face of the Netherworld!
The Netherworld stood behind him!
In his eyes, the evils of the world were like dust.
He, Cat Face, would be the one to sweep away the dust and bring clarity to the world.
Li Che watched Li Qing Shan leave and smiled.
He was an interesting person, to say the least.
One could say that in Flying Thunder City, Li Qing Shan had provided them with significant protection. Otherwise, facing the threat of the Spirit Infant Sect, his family might have encountered considerable trouble.
Therefore, Li Che didn't mind giving Li Qing Shan a helping hand.
In the courtyard, snowflakes gently fell.
Li Che removed the Thunder Dragon mask, and his other clones exploded into ink mist and disappeared.
He walked to the eaves and sat down.
Li Che exhaled slowly.
Tonight, one could say he had unleashed all his power, strategies, and lethal moves, finally managing to kill Su Heian, the powerful Breath Transformation Divine Essence Great True Person.
"To kill a Golden Body Divine Essence Master, I must first break his Divine Essence with Ink Killing. Otherwise, it would be difficult to defeat him..." Li Che reflected on his recent battle.
If the opponent was a Three Flowers Grandmaster, Li Che wasn't sure he could have emerged victorious.
"If it were You Liqing, and I got close enough to exchange blows, I would be at a disadvantage. The physical prowess of a Three Flowers Grandmaster is beyond my current abilities."
Even with the use of Ink Killing, it would be challenging.
Ink Killing requires landing four ink marks on the opponent's body.
The pressure of a Breath Transformation Divine Essence Master's Divinity Stage was ineffective against Li Che due to his control over Profound Magnetism, which allowed him to redirect and insulate against such oppression.
This enabled Li Che to easily get within striking distance and use Ink Killing to break the sturdy Golden Body Divine Essence.
With a thought, a radiant light flashed before his eyes.
【Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV4, 95%)】
A significant increase!
After killing the Breath Transformation Master Su Heian, Li Che's Dao Fruit maturity increased by 10%.
As expected, the experience of a Breath Transformation Master was invaluable!
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit was approaching Level 5!
Li Che was curious about the transformation that would occur at Level 5. He closed his eyes, then opened them again, and felt his temples pulsating. His qi and blood seemed to surge within him once more!
The maturation of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit provided feedback, enhancing his martial arts abilities.
It was like a moment of enlightenment.
Li Che felt divinely inspired!
He exhaled, his gaze falling on the distant White and Black Impermanence, Xue Doudfu. At this moment, Xue Doudfu's aura was undergoing a transformation. However, Su Heian was a Divinity Stage Breath Transformation Master, and his Divine Energy wasn't abundant.
Xue Doudfu, having consumed a portion of Bound Spirit, had reached thirty-six paths of Divine Energy, penetrating his body's three hundred and sixty apertures.
But he hadn't broken through to the Primordial Grandmaster stage of unity with Heaven and Man, and the intensity of his improvement wasn't as great as that of the Shadow Guard.
Originally just a Shadow Guard with a Soul Spirit transformation, he now became increasingly dense and dark, his Divinity violently shaking.
Then, he directly tore through the barrier and broke through to the Golden Body Transformation.
In an instant, the Shadow Guard transformed into a dazzling golden figure!
Second transformation of Divine Essence, Golden Body Transformation!
"Hmm?" Li Che's eyes lit up.
This was his first subordinate to reach the level of a Golden Body Transformation Master!
"Moreover, the breakthrough of Bound Spirit seems to go unnoticed by Heaven and Earth, and the commotion isn't as grand as expected."
Li Che was perplexed.
After all, the breakthrough from Divine Foundation to Divine Form was already quite a spectacle.
The transition from Divine Form to Divine Essence would undoubtedly be more terrifying.
Although it was just a transformation within the Divine Essence stage, the intensity of the transformation from Soul Spirit to Golden Body should be no less than that from Divine Foundation to Divine Form.
