Chapter 281: Divine Capture Empress Consort Rides the Dragon, Both Father and Daughter are Ancient D
Chapter 281: Divine Capture Empress Consort Rides the Dragon, Both Father and Daughter are Ancient Divine Children? [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 1)
Night's Embrace deepens, and the moon hangs high in the Nine Heavens, its clear light shining down upon the courtyard below.
The willow trees sway gently in the spring breeze beneath the moonlight, their fragrant blossoms filling the air with a sweet scent that soothes the mind.
Sizzle—
It sounds like paper being burned and carbonized, a subtle crackling noise, as if tiny insects were gnawing away.
"Divine Capture—"
A deep voice echoes, like the hoarse chanting of an ancient priest during a sacrificial ritual, opening the gates of death and summoning the spirits of the deceased from oblivion.
Creak, creak, a cold and eerie aura ripples through the courtyard, as if the entrance to the Netherworld is swirling above everyone's heads.
Black silk threads rise, slowly ascending from the moonlight shadows of the Dragon Queen Consort's head, which had been severed during her ultimate transcendence to the Martial Saint realm.
Like black droplets, they gradually gather.
Immense, profound, and pitch-black...
An incredibly dark dragon shadow rises, towering ten zhang tall, filling the entire courtyard with its presence. The overwhelming pressure of a Martial Saint-level divine aura causes the wind to howl.
Inside the courtyard.
Everyone wears black robes, billowing in the wind, their masks revealing different expressions as they gaze up at the pitch-black dragon shadow.
The dragon shadow gradually becomes more solid, slowly shedding its darkness, as if the deathly aura from the Netherworld is being washed away.
The dragon's bones shine with a faint dark blue hue, covering its body, its horns, whiskers, scales, and deep blue eyes, all vividly clear and real!
This is the Dragon Queen Consort as she fought Li Che, fully awakening her Dragon Deity bloodline.
Roar!
A dragon's roar echoes through the courtyard.
Slowly, the massive ten-zhang-long dragon body transforms back into the Dragon Queen Consort's human form.
Closing her eyes, then opening them, the exquisitely beautiful woman's eyes are deep blue, reflecting the moonlight, as if they could glow on their own.
Divine Capture—
Returned!
The Dragon Queen Consort, Ao Yuxin, has been revived!
Li Che's tall and robust body wears a cute cow mask, and he looks at the Dragon Queen Consort, who has transformed into a human form, with indifference. Her eyes, however, are filled with bewilderment.
As everything becomes clear, the Dragon Queen Consort's gaze immediately falls upon You Liqing.
You Liqing, with his golden armor and helmet visor raised, looks at the Dragon Queen Consort with a complex expression.
The entire courtyard falls silent.
Li Qingshan, with his cat-like face, stands among the group of evildoers, afraid to breathe.
The Dragon Queen Consort and You Liqing...
Neither of them were Martial Saints in their lifetimes, but after death, they have both become Martial Saints. Now, they have been resurrected by the Underworld Ox Demon, and they possess the strength of Martial Saints.
Even Li Qingshan's heart stirs with desire.
It seems that after death, one can become stronger and more powerful.
Such a comparison makes death seem less frightening.
Of course, Li Qingshan's thoughts are not focused on this. Instead, his eyes flicker with a gentle light, a struggle, and a hint of longing...
No one pays attention to Li Qingshan's thoughts at this moment.
After all, there are only two living people in the entire courtyard.
Li Che doesn't bother to guess what Li Qingshan is thinking; he watches the Dragon Queen Consort, awaiting her reaction. If she shows any resistance or defiance...
He can grant her a true death.
In Li Che's eyes, death after Divine Capture is the ultimate death.
The Dragon Queen Consort turns to the towering Ox Demon.
On her exquisite face, a complex expression appears.
So...
You Liqing has indeed died.
But he has been resurrected in this manner.
She now truly understands.
But for some reason...
In Ao Yuxin's heart... there is not only no rejection but also a sense of liberation, joy, and contentment.
Even though...
The Ox Demon is the one who killed her, murdered her son, and took the life of her lover.
But...
The Ox Demon can revive her brother, You Liqing.
"Ao Yuxin of the Dragon Deity bloodline pays her respects to the Lord."
The Dragon Queen Consort shows her respect.
Without resistance, she is sincerely obedient, and...
She is even a little happy.
Beneath the Ox Demon's mask, Li Che's expression remains unchanged.
Seeing the Dragon Queen Consort so obedient and submissive, the killing intent that had gathered dissipates.
Oh well, it seems that the Divine Capture's feast...
Will have to wait until the next meal.
You Liqing's Divine Capture is relieved, and Long Tai, also under Divine Capture, lets out a strange cry. In the distance, Qing Niao, with his arms crossed, hums in response.
"Not bad."
Li Che praises.
He looks at the Dragon Queen Consort with some surprise, seeing her act so tactfully.
He hadn't expected...
That the Dragon Queen Consort would surrender so decisively and straightforwardly, without a hint of struggle in her eyes.
Li Che had thought that getting the Dragon Queen Consort to submit to Divine Capture would be more challenging.
After all, he had done so much to hurt her—killed her son, her lover, and finally, he had slaughtered her dragon form with his own hands.
Indeed...
A woman's heart is difficult to fathom.
Even a mother dragon's heart is hard to guess.
Only my little Ya is the most straightforward.
But this is good too. The Dragon Queen Consort is now a Martial Saint-level existence, albeit at the initial stage. Still, she is one of Li Che's top-tier fighting forces.
With Huang Jian Jiu, You Liqing, and now the Dragon Girl, there are three Martial Saint-level powers.
The Blood God Nine-Yang Vajra Ape can also be considered a Martial Saint-level power, but it falls short compared to a true Martial Saint.
The Dragon Girl is a powerful member of the Dragon Deity bloodline, with an innate talent for cultivating her physical body, making her flesh incredibly robust.
More useful than the Vajra Ape...
The most important thing is...
Li Che's eyes flicker...
"Transform into a dragon."
Li Che looks at the Dragon Girl and says calmly.
"Yes."
The Dragon Queen Consort responds respectfully, and in the next moment, she clenches her five fingers, causing her black hair to blow wildly. The two dragon horns on her forehead begin to emit deep blue light.
From the dragon bones, a loud and majestic dragon roar reverberated as the Dragon Girl spun in place and soared into the sky, transforming into a ten-zhang tall azure-armored divine dragon!
With a single step forward, Li Che appeared above the Dragon Girl as if he had teleported.
Riding the dragon, he stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering, and his aura soaring into the heavens.
Within the range of the Heavenly Chessboard's cover, Li Che let the armored dragon fly around for a while before returning to the courtyard.
The Dragon Girl also transformed back into her human form, quietly standing by You Liqing's side. Her eyelashes curled slightly, and she would occasionally glance at You Liqing.
She pursed her lips, wanting to smile but feeling that she should maintain the solemnity befitting a Bound Spirit in front of her master.
But she couldn't hold it in, she simply couldn't.
"You died well, Ao Yuxin!" she thought.
"Why didn't you die earlier? Then you could have reunited with Brother Liqing sooner!"
For a moment, the Dragon Girl's gaze towards Li Che carried a hint of resentment.
Li Che's eyebrows furrowed.
"Master, why didn't you kill me sooner?" the Dragon Girl, Ao Yuxin, asked with a mix of grievance and pitifulness.
Li Che was speechless.
"
"Oh," the Dragon Girl pursed her lips, then looked at You Liqing and smiled brightly.
You Liqing felt a bit embarrassed and couldn't bring himself to look directly at the Dragon Girl.
"Hmph!"
In the distance, Qing Niao let out a heavy hum, her nostrils almost splitting open! Long Tai lifted his Crocodile Head Axe, enjoying the spectacle without realizing the seriousness of the situation. His beard curled wildly as he suppressed the urge to burst into laughter.
The Peace Restoration Empress Consort Moling...
The Cuckold King?
Li Che was speechless.
However, he thought that the Peace Restoration Empress Consort Moling probably didn't have any feelings for the Dragon Queen Consort, and she was even extremely cold towards Ji Haihui. Sending her to Jin Guang Manor was just using her as a pawn to be sacrificed.
Moreover, Li Che believed that Ji Moling must have known about the conflict between the Third Prince and the Dragon Clan, so he sent Ji Haihui, who had the Dragon Deity bloodline, just to retrieve the Nether Lotus Yin Divine Sword.
He wanted to find the Nether Lotus Yang Divine Sword and combine the two swords into one.
If they were combined, the rank of the Nether Lotus Yin-Yang Sword would likely reach the level of a Middle Rank Four-Quell Divine Armament, or even higher.
"The Nether Lotus Yang Divine Sword..."
A strange light flashed in Li Che's eyes.
Xi Xi had become Lu Tai Bai's personal disciple and the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Sect. Among the divine armaments bestowed by Lu Tai Bai, there seemed to be the Nether Lotus Yang Divine Sword!
"No wonder... No wonder in the Strange Shrine of the Third Prince in Jin Guang Manor, the Nether Lotus Yang Divine Sword was not drawn out. It's because the Nether Lotus Yang Divine Sword had already been taken away!"
Li Che suddenly understood.
No wonder Ji Moling, in the Strange Pavilion of the Third Prince's Strange Shrine, walked with a sword without attracting the Yang Divine Sword.
Li Che didn't bother to delve into the grudges and conflicts among these people.
He turned his gaze to the Dragon Girl, who kept sticking close to You Liqing, and asked, "What kind of person is the Peace Restoration Empress Consort Moling?"
Li Che inquired in a deep voice.
The Underworld had killed Ji Haihui, Su Huanli, You Liqing, and even the Dragon Queen Consort.
The Peace Restoration Empress Consort Moling couldn't have been unmoved by these events.
At that time, the Martial Saint will hidden within the Nether Lotus Yin Divine Sword had an overwhelming killing intent.
So, Li Che wanted to understand more about the Peace Restoration Empress Consort Moling.
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Girl fell silent for a moment before replying, "He's a terrifying person, enigmatic and inscrutable, with immense strength."
"Even the Title of Dragon King, equivalent to a Martial Saint at the Fourth Gate, pays great respect to Ji Moling."
"The Title of Dragon King... is equivalent to the Divine Embryo Great Deity realm."
"In the years I've been married to Ji Moling, I've actually seen him very few times."
The Dragon Girl pursed her lips and spoke softly.
"Every time I see him, I feel an overwhelming sense of suffocation and terror."
Hearing this, Li Che couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He turned his gaze to You Liqing, who also learned some information about the Peace Restoration Empress Consort Moling.
Slowly closing his eyes, Li Che's mind recalled the Martial Saint will he had encountered in the Strange Pavilion of the Third Prince's Strange Shrine.
"Is Ji Moling ranked in the Great Deity Ranking?" Li Che asked.
He didn't know much about the Divine Embryo Great Deity Ranking, only that Lu Tai Bai was ranked fifth.
Huang Jian Jiu shook the wine gourd, smacking his lips, and said, "One of the Eight Great Kings, titled the Peace Restoration King, with unmatched combat strength. How could he not be ranked in the Divine Embryo Great Deity Ranking?"
"The Sect Master is ranked fifth, and Ji Moling is ranked even higher... at third place."
Li Che narrowed his eyes.
However, Huang Jian Jiu had not finished speaking.
"But Ji Moling's true strength lies not in his divine nature but in his martial arts... In the Martial Sage Heavenly Gate, Ji Moling is ranked second."
"The Sect Master's ranking in the Martial Sage Heavenly Gate is weaker, placing seventh among the fifteen."
"However, the Sect Master is still not weak. After all, only five people are ranked in both the Great Deity Ranking and the Heavenly Gate."
"Ji Moling is one, and the Sect Master is another..."
Hearing this, Li Che took a deep breath.
Being ranked in both the Great Deity Ranking and the Heavenly Gate naturally represented a balance in combat strength.
Their overall strength was naturally even stronger.
At present, the gap between Li Che and such powerful individuals was immense. Even if he played all his trump cards, he wouldn't be a match.
Fortunately, Xi Xi had become the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Sect, and with Lu Tai Bai's protection, her safety was somewhat guaranteed.
However, the Divine Hunter Pavilion and the Corpse God Sect...
remained significant threats.
Li Che's gaze fell on Huang Jian Jiu and You Liqing, "Do you remember everyone who interfered during the hunt for the Dragon Girl?"
"A Half-God Corpse from the Divine Hunter Pavilion and the Corpse God Sect..."
"Find that Half-God Corpse..."
Li Che said in a deep voice.
As expected, the Corpse God Sect had a hidden Half-God Corpse in Lingnan Dao. Li Che wanted to understand the specific situation of the Corpse God Sect.
"Yes." Huang Jian Jiu responded immediately, as if liberated, and You Liqing followed suit.
"Brother Liqing, I'll come with you. Wait for me!" Dragon Girl hurriedly called out.
Li Che glanced at her and snapped his fingers.
Instantly, Dragon Girl transformed into a black Bound Spirit chess piece and landed on the Celestial Earth Chessboard.
The Celestial Earth... became much quieter.
Li Qingshan donned the Cat Face mask, "Should I pay a visit to the Hunter God Pavilion?"
"The Hunter God Pavilion only considers resources. If you can provide the resources, they'll do anything."
"Has Xi Xi been on their Reward List? I can take care of it."
Li Che looked at Li Qingshan in silence, "Okay."
He had originally planned to entrust the matter to Li Qingshan, and with the Flying Thunder Chess Pieces, Li Qingshan's courage had grown significantly.
The Cat Face also left, and the entire courtyard gradually quieted down.
With a flick of his fingers, numerous clones and Bound Spirits disappeared.
Li Che sat cross-legged in the courtyard.
"Inhale—"
"Exhale—"
With each breath, waves of qi stirred.
Blending with the night breeze, the shadows of the trees in the courtyard danced, shattering the moonlight and scattering it across the ground in patches.
Within Li Che's chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit slowly returned to tranquility, and his entire being became incredibly serene.
Slowly opening his eyes, golden smoke seemed to flow through them.
[Fruit of the Way: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV5, 25%)]
His eyes opened and closed, and a bright light flashed within them.
A hint of joy appeared in Li Che's eyes.
He had single-handedly defeated the Dragon Queen Consort, and the maturity of the Fruit of the Way had increased by 10% all at once!
This was a LV5 level Fruit of the Way, and the value of its maturity was extremely high!
"It shouldn't be just the gains from fighting the Martial Saint. According to the normal rules of the Fruit of the Way, the later stages should become increasingly difficult to advance."
"It must be related to my combat style. During the battle, I unleashed two Divine Origins... and obtained the ultimate power to break through the limits of the human body. This resonated with the Fruit of the Way, resulting in such a significant increase."
Li Che pondered, analyzing and identifying the reason for the rapid increase in the maturity of the Fruit of the Way.
Additionally, Li Che discovered that the Pure Heart Fruit of the Way had also gained a 2% increase in maturity.
This was because the Dragon Queen Consort had been Bound.
"The Chess Saint Fruit of the Way is still a bit away from breaking through to LV5. Additionally, the Immortal in the Picture Fruit of the Way and the growth of the Thunder Magnetic Body are also quite slow..."
"The Immortal Craft Fruit of the Way hasn't improved much recently. Perhaps I can try sculpting a Demi-Saint Divine Sculpture.
