Chapter 251: Netherworld's Creation of Corpse Deity, Dao Fruit's Double Transformation and Divine Ab

Chapter 251: Netherworld's Creation of Corpse Deity, Dao Fruit's Double Transformation and Divine Ability of White Jade Capital

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Corpse God Seal rotated and emerged from You Liqing's bloody and mangled body, revealing pale pupils and two dark Corpse God Seals that emanated a formidable and terrifying aura.

The Corpse Deity Envoy, a Jade Corpse Shaman, who was extremely close to You Liqing's corpse, felt an overwhelming sense of coldness enveloping his heart.

"Corpse Deity?!"

Horror and fear spread from his eyes.

Within the Corpse God Cult, the hierarchy among cultivators was strictly enforced.

The difference in rank between cultivators was like an insurmountable chasm, an absolute suppression.

For example, a Jade Corpse Shaman could completely suppress a Gold Corpse Shaman, who couldn't even resist.

Similarly, a Gold Corpse Shaman could suppress a Silver Corpse Shaman, leaving them unable to escape.

All of this was due to the Corpse Incantation Seal!

It was a mysterious mark that bound the three souls and seven spirits of a person, sealing their soul. Once imprinted, it represented an unerasable class distinction.

Unless one could transcend their class through cultivation, they would forever be oppressed by a higher-ranked existence.

This Jade Corpse Shaman was experiencing such oppression, despite his cultivation level. Even though You Liqing's corpse only possessed the aura of a middle-ranked Six Ministries Corpse Deity Envoy, the sense of oppression was terrifyingly immense.

The reason for this was the Corpse God Seal rotating within You Liqing's pupils!

Within that Corpse God Seal...

The Jade Corpse Shaman sensed an irresistible and majestic Corpse Deity will!

The terrifying pressure caused the Jade Corpse Shaman, and even the two other Jade Corpse Shamans in the distance, to break out in cold sweat, feeling immense pressure. Despite being comparable to three top-tier Supreme Grandmasters with Three Flower cultivation, they didn't even dare to release their death energy or corpse energy.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The three Jade Corpse Shamans knelt on the ground, their black-alley cobblestones shattering under their kneeling!

Like a spider web, cracks spread instantly.

The Dragon Queen Consort's black robe fluttered, her dark blue hair dancing wildly across her exquisite face. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw the Corpse God Seal in You Liqing's pupils, her heart pounding with fear.

But the next moment, her eyes filled with endless madness.

"Ahhhh!"

You Liqing's three souls and seven spirits... were devoured?!

Devoured by the Corpse Deity?!

This meant that You Liqing was truly dead, completely erased from the world! Her soul scattered!

In this world... there was still Ao Yu's heart.

But there was no longer You Liqing!

Boom!

The Dragon Queen Consort's eyes shone with azure brilliance as she took a step forward, her blood surging like a raging fire. It seemed as if countless streams of blood flowed within her, and her blood energy, dragon energy, and Three Flower essence aura transformed into towering waves.

In the pitch-black alley, she suppressed the death energy and corpse energy of the three Jade Corpse Shamans.

"Who are you?!"

"Who are you?!"

The Dragon Queen Consort instantly appeared before You Liqing, her eyes filled with sadness, despair, emotion, and pain as she faced You Liqing, whose pupils spun with the Corpse God Seal.

However, in response to the Dragon Queen Consort's appearance, You Liqing's corpse calmly clenched into a fist.

The death energy and corpse energy in the alley surged, and the Three Flower essence aura burst forth from You Liqing's bloody and mangled body, merging with the death energy and corpse energy.

A fist struck directly at the Dragon Queen Consort!

There was no mercy or hesitation, no emotional turmoil. Cold and ruthless, like an enemy walking towards death, only the farewell between life and death remained.

Under the baptism of the Corpse God Seal, You Liqing's corpse emitted a constantly rising aura, even surpassing his strength in life. With the stimulation of the Three Flower essence aura, his aura surged, and as he clenched his fist, pulling and bursting the energy, he formed a fist seal and struck down mercilessly!

Ten Thousand Dragons Subdue the Divine!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The alley erupted with terrifying bursts of energy, almost emptying the entire alley of all its contents. The three Jade Corpse Shamans kneeling on the ground struggled to breathe, nearly suffocating.

It was known that these three were upper-ranked Jade Corpse Shamans with formidable combat strength, comparable to Supreme Grandmasters with blooming Three Flowers. But at this moment, due to the Corpse God Seal, they were left with only suppression and terror.

"Ten Thousand Dragons Subdue the Divine?!"

"How can a dead body understand Ten Thousand Dragons Subdue the Divine?"

Facing You Liqing's sudden punch, the Dragon Queen Consort was completely stunned, her body covered in dragon scales.

However, despite feeling an immense threat from this punch, its angle and powerful control of force were such that even she wouldn't dare to take it head-on.

But the distance was too close!

The Dragon Queen Consort had no choice but to defend with all her might, as if a gigantic azure dragon shadow appeared behind her.

Clang!

You Liqing's corpse delivered a cold and ruthless punch, slamming into the dragon shadow unleashed by the Dragon Queen Consort!

It was like the heavy bronze bell atop a lofty mountain peak being struck, causing the entire alley's ground to shatter continuously, forming concentric rings of sound waves that seemed solid.

The alley walls crumbled, and the cobblestones on the ground were directly lifted, revealing a layer of dust and debris. Countless streams of energy surged, and the death energy and corpse energy filled the air. The entire alley became a ruin. If it weren't for the Corpse God Cult's experts setting up an array early on, this commotion would have exposed their location and identity.

"Run!"

While the Dragon Queen Consort and You Liqing's corpse clashed,

The three Jade Corpse Shamans finally broke free from the irresistible suppression of the Corpse God Seal. The lead Jade Corpse Shaman tapped his toes on the ground and leaped up, transforming into a black dragon of death energy.

He flicked his fingers, and a black sphere shot towards the Dragon Queen Consort!

"Your Highness, we, the Corpse God Cult, accept the cooperation to annihilate the Netherworld. Please consider our sincerity..."

After throwing the black sphere of swirling death energy and corpse energy,

The Jade Corpse Shaman immediately turned and left with the other two.

Corpse God Seal!

You Liqing's corpse contained the Corpse God Seal?

Could it be...

A significant event was about to unfold in the Primordial Dao City, one that even the Corpse Deity would intervene in?

Was it because of the recent rumors about the Divine Falcon Ridge's Six-Ear Hell Lotus Divine Monkey, the Two-Hearted Holy Sage, and the Mysterious Shrine?

Because of this reason?

It was rumored that by obtaining this two-hearted Supreme Sacred Divine Falcon's divine armament, one could ascend to the city tower of Heavenly Capital City and find the Primordial Heaven-reaching Staff on the tower!

Dragon Queen Consort's blood energy rolled, and she collected the pearl, then punched out again, clashing with You Liqing's corpse!

With each punch, Dragon Queen Consort felt endless heartache!

Buzz!

You Liqing's bloody and mangled corpse once again clenched its fist, its flesh cracking like porcelain, unable to bear the overwhelming power.

You Liqing was ultimately dead, his corpse having long lost its vitality. The sudden burst of power hinted at the possibility of shattering and annihilation.

However, there was no holding back!

Roar!

Dragon roars echoed as countless black lights and blood vessels seemed to descend like a red moon, shrouded in darkness. You Liqing's corpse suddenly exploded, and countless shattered rays of light seemed to transmit from afar through the medium of the Corpse God Seal!

Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing Gods, the punch was like a dragon!

Dragon Queen Consort's heart ached for the princess, her eyes already drowned in sorrow.

"You Liqing..."

She knew that from this day on, she would even lose You Liqing's corpse.

This meant that You Liqing would be completely erased from this world!

Two extremely powerful forces collided!

In an instant, dragon shadows and fist shadows intertwined in the sky, like an inverted waterfall, shattering the already broken blue bricks into dust.

No one knew how long it had been.

The storm in the alley finally subsided, and Dragon Queen Consort's black hair whipped in the wind. Her tall and graceful figure stood in place, stunned beyond words.

However, at the location of You Liqing's corpse, there was only a cloud of blood mist that couldn't bear the terrifying power and had collapsed. A gentle breeze blew it away.

The blood mist drifted with the wind, turning into ashes that scattered into the heavens and earth.

It was as if the last trace of belief in Dragon Queen Consort's heart had been drained away.

...

...

Night snow silently fell in the breeze.

Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.

Disciple City, Elder Hall.

In the study, candlelight flickered.

You Liqing's Capturing Spirit body released the Corpse God Seal, which returned to the Heavens and Earth Chessboard and was suppressed by the Pure Heart Divine Nature.

Although Li Che had already used the power of the Dog Rides Human to refine the Corpse God Seal, he still used the Pure Heart Divine Nature to suppress it at all times, just in case.

You Liqing's Capturing Spirit eyes regained clarity, and his expression was somewhat complex.

"Thank you, Lord."

You Liqing clenched his fists and bowed deeply.

Li Che waved his hand, "No regrets? Destroying your own flesh..."

"If that flesh wasn't destroyed, it would fall into the hands of the Corpse God Cult, and if it were refined into an Incantation Corpse, it would be better to destroy it completely," You Liqing said gravely.

"Moreover, after enduring the Corpse God Seal this time, I've vaguely adapted to its power. Perhaps I can master the Corpse God Seal and eventually obtain its power."

You Liqing bowed and said.

Li Che's eyebrows raised slightly, "Oh?"

This was indeed a pleasant surprise.

The Corpse God Seal wasn't very useful to Li Che; it was merely a means to counter the Corpse God Cult's evil methods.

If he could transform the Corpse God Seal into combat power, it would indeed be a pleasant surprise.

Li Che looked at You Liqing, the carving knife twirling in his fingers.

Through this Corpse God Seal, he could cultivate You Liqing into a Corpse God?

That was... not impossible.

In the future, when facing the Corpse God Cult directly, if they summoned a Corpse God, Li Che could also summon a Corpse God.

If he could gather six Corpse God Seals, he could cultivate six Corpse Gods. Then, the Netherworld might truly be able to claim to have genuine goods."

"Since that's the case, this Corpse God Seal... I'll reward it to you."

Li Che smiled faintly.

"After mastering the Corpse God Seal, can you sense the situation of the surrounding Corpse Incantation Seals?"

Li Che asked, thinking of something.

You Liqing's eyes flashed upon hearing this, recalling the feeling of merging with the Corpse God Seal just now. That clear and thorough suppression of the Corpse God Cult's three Jade Corpse Deities made him nod involuntarily.

"Very good."

"After you refine this Corpse God Seal, help me find the hidden evil member of the Corpse God Cult within the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect."

Li Che said calmly.

The next moment, he flicked his finger, and the Corpse God Seal turned into a stream of light, shooting into You Liqing's Capturing Spirit body.

This fusion was different from before.

You Liqing's Capturing Spirit only felt an intense pain.

Li Che opened the Heavens and Earth Chessboard, blocking all investigations, allowing You Liqing to slowly refine the Corpse God Seal amidst the pain.

Meanwhile, Li Che sat quietly in the study, carving.

After completing his daily carving practice, he spread out a piece of yellow paper on the desk.

He clenched his five fingers, and a wolf-hair brush fell into his hand, dipped in vermillion ink.

Of course, Li Che didn't intend to draw a Locking Spirit Talisman; his Divine Nature cultivation was still lacking, and drawing a Locking Spirit Talisman would be extremely challenging.

Although the path of divine talismans and divine carvings shared some similarities, they were fundamentally different.

Talisman masters didn't require exceptionally high martial cultivation, but they needed an extremely high level of Divine Nature cultivation.

Drawing a Five Elder Rank talisman, even one as low as the Zongzhu Furen's Fifth Rank Lower Tier Locking Spirit Talisman, required at least a Divine Embryo Transformation or a Divine Embryo One Divine Transformation level of Divine Nature cultivation.

Currently, Li Che's Divine Nature cultivation was only at the Divine Form Realm, and although his Seven Emotions and Six Desires Divine Form was extraordinary, it was similar to the Corpse God Cult's Corpse Incantation Seal rank. Li Che's Seven Emotions and Six Desires Divine Form wasn't yet complete; if it were, it could rival the Golden Body Transformation.

Therefore, while Li Che's Divine Nature power wasn't lacking, he still fell short in drawing a Five Elder Rank talisman.

The main reason was that the maturity of the Immortal in Painting Dao Fruit wasn't high enough.

"A Lower Rank Six Ministries Talisman might be worth a try."

Li Che opened the "Great Jing Qingyun Dao Xuan Talisman Sect Talisman Manual" and found a Lower Rank Six Ministries Talisman within.

Mystic Thunder Suppressing Spirit Killing Talisman

An offensive talisman!

In fact, Li Che's understanding of talisman arts wasn't profound, but with the Immortal in Painting Dao Fruit, drawing was effortless.

The Immortal in Painting Dao Fruit in his chest throbbed intensely.

The next moment, Li Che opened his eyes, and his gaze seemed to drip with dense ink like light smoke.

He held the wolf-hair brush, dipped it in vermillion ink, and began drawing the Mystic Thunder Suppressing Spirit Killing Talisman.

Scratch, scratch, scratch...

The wolf-hair brush gently rubbed against the rough and uneven talisman paper, and the vermillion ink was instantly absorbed.

Between the eyebrows, the Niwan Palace tears open, revealing the Star-Picking Eye.

Analyzing the myriad, peering into the void to find the truth!

Li Che didn't know how long he had been painting, but every stroke of his brushwork infused his divine nature, causing it to be wildly drawn into the talisman paper.

Fortunately, Li Che had cultivated the Seven Emotions Divine Nature, which allowed him to handle any kind of talisman.

Boom!

The Lower Rank Six Ministries Talisman was supported by Li Che's Divine Form Realm's divine nature.

If all else failed, Li Che could also summon the Law Heaven Mimic Earth Spirit Clarity True Monkey Divine Form to aid him. The Three Pures rank Divine Form was known for its vast divine nature.

Even the Divine Essence Primordial Spirit Transformation's divine nature was vast!

Boom, rumble!

A deep thunderous sound reverberated through the study.

Li Che's black hair fluttered, and he took a step back, his eyes shining brightly.

The thunder snake seemed to roam the study, illuminating the darkness.

"Success!"

Li Che's ink-stained robe fluttered as he put away the wolf-hair brush.

This was his first time formally drawing a talisman. The Mysterious Yellow talisman paper and divine ink were from his previous harvest, and he hadn't personally mixed them before.

However, Li Che was very satisfied with the result.

Holding the Mysterious Yellow talisman, the cinnabar ink hadn't dried yet, and the crackling electricity seemed to flow into Li Che's body.

The Thunder Magnetic Body was involuntarily activated.

"This talisman is just right for cultivating the Thunder Magnetic Body!"

Li Che's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a new path of cultivation.

Drawing a divine talisman, the thunder strikes the body! Achieving true self-sufficiency.

According to the records in the Xuanfu Divine Sect's talisman book, there were a total of eight types of Six Ministries Talismans, and the one Li Che had just drawn was the Mystic Thunder Suppressing Spirit Killing Talisman.

As for the Five Elders rank talisman, there was also one called the Small Shenxiao Five Thunder Shocking Killing Talisman, but there was no detailed description of the drawing technique.

Not a single one was given to outsiders!

Suddenly, Li Che held the Mystic Thunder talisman and sat in the study.

He felt as if everything in the world had become quiet, devoid of sound.

All was silent, and his mind was at peace.

Only the sound of the Immortal in Painting's Dao Fruit leaping in his chest remained, like thunderous explosions, growing louder and louder, as if even his heartbeat was being drawn.

Then, slowly, a stream of light appeared before his eyes.

[Dao Fruit: Immortal in Painting (lv4, 0%)]



The Immortal in Painting's Dao Fruit!

Finally reached lv4!

Li Che held the talisman, his ink-stained robe fluttering, a slight smile on his lips, his heart filled with joy.

For this Dao Fruit promotion, Li Che had maintained a calm and unhurried mindset.

Originally, he had been improving the maturity of the Immortal in Painting's clone.

But as time passed, this improvement became increasingly difficult.

Now, having touched upon the path of talismans, he had found a quick way to enhance the maturity of the Immortal in Painting's Dao Fruit.

Li Che's eyes narrowed, and in an instant, his pupils seemed to turn into thick, unyielding ink, suddenly stirred and spread, like a vortex!

The vortex spun, bursting forth with a powerful force that pulled him into the familiar vast and boundless world.

The earth was vast and wild, and a Dao Tree shot up from the ground, its roots and vines like earth dragons, covering the land with strength and grandeur!

The Dao Tree soared into the clouds, as if piercing through the cloud layer, forming a ring-like enclosure.

The canopy opened wide, enormous, as if enveloping the entire vast world!

The branches and vines extended, the green leaves were translucent and crystal clear, with countless leaves flourishing, their veins clear, resembling a vast network of paths across the land.

Li Che exhaled.

No matter how many times he experienced it, each time Li Che felt his strength had significantly improved, he would still be overwhelmed by the sight of this vast world, his spirit shaken, feeling insignificant, like an ant gazing upon the heavens!

His eyes scanned the Dao Fruits hanging on the tree.

Those Dao Fruits that had reached lv5 maturity hung high, shining like proud suns.

In comparison, the Immortal in Painting's Dao Fruit, which had just reached lv4, seemed less radiant.

But at this moment, the Immortal in Painting's Dao Fruit was the protagonist, instantly capturing Li Che's gaze!

Li Che raised his hand, as if reaching for the stars, about to pluck the Dao Fruit.

Boom!

Suddenly, Li Che felt everything before him start to tremble.

It was as if a painting scroll was being shaken, the vast world, the towering Dao Tree, and the hanging Dao Fruits...

Everything seemed fake, violently trembling.

Li Che's gaze intensified, his eyes flowing with countless streaks of dark ink.

Looking up, he saw a blurry figure beyond the painting, holding a brush.

This familiar feeling was reminiscent of the time when the Chess Sage's Dao Fruit reached lv4, and the mysterious and transcendent figure standing outside the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

At this very moment, the figure holding the brush seemed to be painting outside the scroll.

Suddenly!

Countless drops of ink rained down.

The earth shook, thunder rumbled! The vast world experienced a downpour of ink.

Everything turned into shades of black and white!

Li Che's consciousness was almost instantly engulfed by the blackness, and then he withdrew from the vast world.

Everything disappeared.

Li Che took a deep breath, his heart slightly stirred.

However, at this moment, his mind was calm, unperturbed by the mysteries he faced.

Whether it was the green finger in the Mystic Tower, the mysterious chess player outside the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, or the painter of this ink-splattered world, Li Che had encountered too many mysteries.

He had long accepted serenity, choosing not to dwell on them.

Because, at this point, he couldn't fathom or guess, so he didn't burden himself with unnecessary worries.

When his strength improved and his level was high enough, he would naturally encounter the so-called mysteries and power.

His eyes narrowed.

The stream of light slowly unfolded, the ink swirling.
