Chapter 293: The Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate, Tai Bai's Deadly Star, and the New Judge of the Neth
Chapter 293: The Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate, Tai Bai's Deadly Star, and the New Judge of the Netherworld (Part 2)
Li Che's mood improved as long as everyone was killing the Corpse God Sect; then they would all be good friends.
"It's a pity that the Four Subordinate Corpse Deity Envoy's soul can't be summoned."
Li Che's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
When he tried to pick up the Corpse Deity Orb, he had silently attempted to summon the soul.
But he couldn't summon it.
Because Lu Tai Bai's sword intent and sword aura were rampant, and on top of that, the body of the Four Subordinate Corpse Deity Envoy had a strong lingering will.
These wills suppressed the summoning.
Li Che felt slightly disappointed but wasn't surprised, mainly because his strength wasn't sufficient.
Even if this Four Subordinate Corpse Deity Envoy's soul was summoned, it would likely resist him.
But if he could give his subordinates, those hungry for souls, a feast, that would be good too.
A point fell between his eyebrows, and the divine chessboard expanded again.
Li Che began to sense the Corpse God Sect members who had concealed their auras and were fleeing through the forest.
Within the perception of the divine chessboard, he saw silver-white sword auras raging and intertwining in the sky, swiftly pursuing the fleeing figures.
The positions of the Corpse God Sect members were completely exposed.
Tai Bai Sect Master had made his move. Relying on his powerful Heavenly Soul, he locked onto the positions of the Corpse God Sect members and then guided them with his sword aura, allowing the other pursuing Divine Sect, Divine Guard Army, and Temple Administration's strong cultivators to find them.
Li Che's eyes flashed, and he locked onto a Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse member of the Corpse God Sect. His gaze was steady.
With his primordial spirit seated on the divine chessboard, Li Che placed down a chess piece.
The heavens and earth turned.
The Ox Demon disappeared again.
...
...
Swoosh—!
The raging sword aura tore through the night sky like a shooting star, howling through the forest. The wind it stirred up cut through the falling leaves, leaving them neatly sliced.
A Corpse God Sect member, who had concealed all his aura, was running at full speed through the forest. With each step, thick tree branches cracked and collapsed!
A powerful death energy erupted around him, forming a black flower of death that bloomed fiercely!
A flower of death energy and a flower of corpse energy—this was the Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse!
On his black jade-like skin, intricate patterns coiled, and as he clenched his five fingers, they became like five divine spears, piercing through the void. He fiercely struck at the sword aura that blasted towards him!
Boom—!!
A thunderous explosion reverberated through the entire forest.
Countless birds were startled, flapping their wings and taking flight.
Countless trees snapped and collapsed, and the earth was slashed with dozens of thick sword marks, resembling a lotus flower blooming from the slashes.
The Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse's chest was pierced through with a massive hole, and his arm that had blocked the sword aura was already shredded into countless pieces...
He stood dumbfounded on the ground, behind him was a huge pit of ruins, blasted open by the sword aura.
He coughed up black, viscous blood, which dripped down continuously.
So strong... So strong...
"But... I'm not dead! I survived!"
The Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse coughed up blood while laughing maniacally.
Although he knew that the sword aura's explosion would undoubtedly attract the attention of others, he had no choice but to flee with his severed arm and shattered chest, a Half-Divine Corpse.
The terrifying sword aura and intent raging in his wound forced him to mobilize all his Death Energy and Corpse Energy to resist. But as he turned, his body seemed to have been drained of strength, and he collapsed to the ground.
However, he quickly got up, coughed out a thick mouthful of blood, and was about to accelerate his escape.
But...
His body suddenly stiffened.
He abruptly looked up.
In the distance, at the end of the ruins split by the sword aura, a towering figure stood, with long black hair dancing wildly behind him. His muscular body was stacked with explosive and terrifying power, ready to burst forth with a roar.
"Netherworld..."
The Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse of the Corpse God Sect narrowed his eyes.
"Are you looking to die?!"
A mere Great Grandmaster-level Niu Mo...
Dared to pursue and kill him, a Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse of the Corpse God Sect?
Even though he had lost an arm and was severely injured by Lu Tai Bai's sword aura, he was not someone a Great Grandmaster could easily defeat!
At this moment, if he exerted all his strength, even a One-Gate Martial Saint might not be able to stop him.
Li Che wore the Ox Demon Mask, and in his eyes, a faint golden smoke lingered like the scent of incense, slowly drifting and condensing.
"You... are injured..."
Under the Ox Demon Mask, Li Che's mouth slowly curled up in a smile he couldn't suppress.
His voice gradually became bolder.
After he finished speaking,
Beside Li Che, one dark shadow after another twisted and emerged.
The three individuals who had been crushed by the Four Guardians Corpse Deity Envoy reappeared out of thin air.
Behind the disheveled Netherworld Sword Immortal Huang Jian Jiu, with his sword case, stood the golden-armored You Li Qing and the Dragon Maiden clinging to him...
Huang Jian Jiu narrowed his eyes, and with a palm strike, he knocked the sword case to the ground, and the sword aura rang with a deep hum.
"You've blasted my old man ten times, haven't you?!"
The Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse of the Corpse God Sect, with his crimson eyes, shrank in fear.
Huang Jian Jiu?!
And the other two... they were also Martial Saints!
Three Martial Saints!
Damn!
Bang!
The Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse didn't hesitate. He stomped his foot, and the ground exploded, propelling him like an arrow with powerful recoil. He was about to escape.
But...
Suddenly, a chessboard with intersecting lines appeared between heaven and earth, slamming down and completely enveloping him!
In the next moment, a city of ink-black color appeared on the chessboard.
Deep and dark, the ink-black city seemed to rise from the netherworld, a ghostly Fengdu Ancient City.
Creak, creak...
The city gates slowly opened.
The Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse of the Corpse God Sect was pulled into the city.
"Noooooo!"
...
...
Primordial Dao City.
The Eight-Cornered, Multi-Eaved Treasure Tower of the Heavenly Observation Bureau.
The supervisor, Hong Shi Fo, leaned against the railing, listening to the wind, as the moonlight, split by the sword aura, illuminated the chessboard where he placed his piece.
"What a magnificent move by Tai Bai's sword, slaying a Quasi-Corpse Deity of the Corpse God Sect with a single strike..."
"Lu Tai Bai has become even stronger."
Hong Shi Fo shook his head, filled with emotion.
"The Corpse God Sect... I never expected they would send so many powerful individuals to Primordial Dao City and even bring an entire Corpse Deity Realm. Unfortunately... they encountered the Netherworld."
"Even hiding in the void couldn't keep them hidden."
"What did the Corpse God Sect do to provoke the Netherworld? They are relentless..."
Hong Shi Fo smiled and placed another piece on the chessboard.
With five pieces in a line, he smiled contentedly.
...
Dao Lord City.
Numerous pavilions stood tall, their grandeur resembling umbrella covers, with black tiles neatly arranged on the roofs of the leisure pavilions.
The Dao Lord, Yue Huang Long, stood with his hands behind his back, his face plump with fat, his eyes narrowed to slits.
"What a stunning sword move."
"Opening the Heaven Opening Gate with a sword, the Tai Bai Star of the mortal realm!"
Yue Huang Long exhaled.
Being assigned to this place by the court was indeed a tremendous pressure.
Although the overall strength of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect wasn't among the top ranks of the various divine sects, it was due to considering the overall level of the sects.
The quality of the disciples, the industries they were proud of, and more were all suppressed by other divine sects.
However, when it came to top-tier combat power, Lu Tai Bai was more than enough to look down upon the sect masters of numerous divine sects.
"Nevertheless, the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect has recently produced a Divine Eagle Demi-Saint, and their dormant Divine Eagle industry may gradually revive. The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect was once renowned for its Divine Eagles... If they reclaim their previous business and add Lu Tai Bai, the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect might truly reach its peak glory!"
Yue Huang Long muttered to himself.
And all of this had happened during his tenure.
The Great Jing Emperor's arrangement of various Dao Lords in the cities was to suppress the divine sects, counterbalance them, and prevent unexpected incidents like the Qi Tian Temple.
He, Yue Huang Long, had failed to suppress the divine sects, instead allowing the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect to expand...
It was indeed... very frustrating.
Primordial Dao City.
On a multi-eaved roof.
Ji Li Shou and Longzi Ao Lie, both wearing the Constellation Killer masks, stood in black robes and straw hats, their clothes fluttering in the night wind.
The two of them fell silent.
They were awe-struck by Lu Tai Bai's stunning sword move.
"The Great Deity List's fifth-ranked Tai Bai Killer is indeed extraordinary."
"Perhaps, only my father's personal intervention could suppress him."
Ji Li Shou spoke in a deep voice.
Longzi Aolie nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it's powerful... Even within my Dragon God lineage, only the top-ranked Dragon Kings can rival such a force."
"No wonder he's a renowned figure on both the Great Deity List and the Heavenly Gate's dual rankings!"
"It's understandable why Emperor Dajing fears and suppresses these Divine Sects." Longzi Aolie exhaled and spoke in a low voice.
"Should we continue with Li Che's assassination plan?" Ji Li Shou asked calmly.
Longzi Aolie narrowed his eyes, gazing at the mushroom cloud spreading in the distance, and slowly exhaled.
"For Brother Li Shou, for the Prince's plan, I can endure."
"Dragon's vengeance, ten years is not too late..."
...
As the eastern sky brightened with the first rays of dawn, the mushroom cloud that had roared through the night began to dissipate slowly between heaven and earth.
The clear sunlight from above bathed the entire world, awakening and revitalizing all living beings.
Thunder Listening Lane.
Independent Workshop Courtyard.
Li Che returned from Ink City, his five fingers tightly gripping the Thunderbolt Chess Piece.
In his grasp was the mangled corpse of a Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse.
Indeed, it was a Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse comparable to the Second Gate Sea Martial Saint.
Even after being heavily wounded by Lu Tai Bai's sword aura and constantly corroded by its corrosive power, on the brink of death, it still unleashed an incredibly powerful combat strength.
Under the siege of three Martial Saints—Huang Jian Jiu, You Li Qing, and Dragon Maiden—it managed to hold out for an entire night.
Finally, when they saw that the Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse was truly exhausted, completely devoid of resistance due to the torment of the sword aura, Li Che, wearing the Niu Mo mask, unleashed his full power.
He unleashed his full might, detonating four Mystic Gate Divine Seeds! With an unmatched stance, he took control of the battle.
The dense Death Qi and Corpse Qi spread, and Li Che tossed the Half-Divine Corpse to the ground.
He couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. If it had been in its prime...
Li Che wasn't entirely confident about defeating it. Lu Tai Bai's sword aura had crippled this Half-Divine Corpse, and it took an entire night to defeat a weakened one.
In his hand, he tossed the Heaven-Earth Jade of the Half-Divine Corpse.
The corners of his lips couldn't help but curl upwards.
As expected, only by touching the Heaven-Earth Jade could his mood improve, and only then could tonight's mission be considered a complete success.
He spread his five fingers wide, scanning the Half-Divine Corpse that had turned into rotten flesh.
"Divine Binding!"
A buzzing sound filled the air.
It was as if an invisible wind was stirring, accompanied by the wailing cries of departed souls.
Slowly, the Half-Divine Corpse on the ground began to squirm...
A Divine Binding Spirit seemed to emerge from the underworld, reconstructing its physical form.
On its jet-black body, a faint light shone, and two flower patterns blossomed.
In its prime, the Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse suddenly opened its scarlet eyes, filled with boundless rage and savagery!
"Niu Mo!!!"
It began to struggle violently.
How pitiful its death was!
He didn't resent Lu Tai Bai, for he couldn't afford to hate such an existence. Instead, he hated Niu Mo, who had used extremely cunning siege tactics to wear down and kill him when he was already heavily injured.
Even in the end, when Niu Mo made his move, he was cautious enough to detonate four Divine Seeds!
How dare he treat people like this?!
Surrender was out of the question, not in this lifetime!
"Roar!!!"
However, just as the Divine Binding Spirit appeared, Li Che sighed, "As expected, the gap is too wide, and the probability of surrender is indeed low."
"Since it's like this..."
"Kneel."
His five fingers clenched tightly.
Boom! The head of the Divine Binding Spirit exploded.
"Meal time, everyone."
Li Che snapped his fingers.
The next moment, one after another, Divine Binding Spirits emerged from Li Che's body, filling the courtyard.
Xue Dufu, Shadow Guard Zhenren, Long Tai, Qingniao...
Huang Jian Jiu, You Li Qing, and Dragon Maiden's eyes lit up.
"Thank you, Master!"
The Divine Binding Spirits respectfully bowed.
Then, they rushed towards the Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse, tearing, devouring, and feasting! Of course, the lion's share would go to Huang Jian Jiu, You Li Qing, and Dragon Maiden, while the others would likely be satisfied with just a taste. As for whether they could transform and evolve into Martial Saint-level Divine Binding Spirits, it seemed rather difficult.
The Divine Binding Spirits were in a frenzy, indulging in the feast.
Li Che, filled with anticipation, sat down in the courtyard and took out the Heaven-Earth Jade of the Two-Flower Half-Divine Corpse.
He channeled his mind into it.
He began to inventory its contents.
"This is... a Fifth-Tier Upper-Rank Divine Crystal! It's actually a Fifth-Tier Upper-Rank!"
Li Che couldn't help but feel delighted, as even though there was only one, its significance was extraordinary!
"There are five Fifth-Tier Middle-Rank Divine Crystals, not a large quantity, but of high quality!"
"As for the pills, they are all Death Qi Condensing Martial Pills. The Death Qi and Corpse Qi in these pills are much more concentrated than those of lower tiers."
Li Che continued his inventory, but there were no surprises in terms of martial arts or divine nature.
However, some unusual materials caught Li Che's attention.
A piece of wood, shimmering with starlight, fell into Li Che's hand.
"Fifth-Tier Upper-Rank Spirit Wood, Star Wood!"
At the same time, Li Che also grabbed a mask made of Star Wood, its surface carved with various intricate patterns!
"Star Wood..."
"And the Constellation Killer's mask..."
Li Che's eyes flickered with a mysterious light, and a smile spread across his lips.
"The Netherworld's Yan Jing... It's here!"
