Chapter 299: The Netherworld King's Fist Shakes Tai Bai, Savage Dog Wields a Double-Edged Saber, But Who Is He? [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 2)
Amidst this ethereal landscape, a yellow dragon slithered, its roars echoing through the air.
In the distance, Feng Zhi Qi arrived, and behind him rose a towering mountain, its peak hidden in the clouds. His aura, intertwined with the mountain, exuded an awe-inspiring presence.
"The Netherworld... It seems everyone has underestimated its power!" Feng Zhi Qi exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Yue Huang Long glanced at Feng Zhi Qi, sensing the latter's immense power, just a step away from the apex. However, Feng Zhi Qi's eagerness was restrained by Yue Huang Long's formidable aura, preventing him from taking action.
"Governor Feng, please protect Su Lei Bao, the Great Elder of the Su Family. This villain seems intent on their destruction," Yue Huang Long said calmly.
Feng Zhi Qi narrowed his eyes, reluctant to follow Yue Huang Long's command. Although they both represented official entities, the Temple Governorate and the Dao Lord Manor were distinct, and he resented being ordered around. He yearned to engage in battle with Yue Huang Long, whose physical prowess had broken the limits of humanity.
Feng Zhi Qi's gaze shifted to the distance, where the void seemed frozen. A white whisk, akin to a divine dragon, weaved through the sky, immobilizing the space.
Supervisor Hong Shi Fo of the Heaven-Qi Supervision, clad in a white Daoist robe, ascended into the sky with a smile. He stood with his hands behind his back, observing the figure standing atop the black city and within the blood sea.
At that moment, Feng Zhi Qi seemed to sense something. He turned his gaze towards the Divine Energy Great Master on the White Peak of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
There, a silver-haired figure stood with their hands behind their back, coldly observing the scene.
"No escape!" Feng Zhi Qi exclaimed. "The Netherworld's apex figure is surrounded by the three apex figures of the Heavenly Origin Dao City. There's no way out!"
Feng Zhi Qi's burning desire for battle suddenly cooled upon seeing Lu Tai Bai.
"Did you kill Ji He Shan, the Fourth Elder of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect?" Feng Zhi Qi asked, his expression turning peculiar as he sensed something.
Without another word, Feng Zhi Qi transformed into a dragon of qi and blood, appearing before Su Lei Bao, shielding him from harm.
On the black city, Li Che stood, his black and white Yama mask exuding a terrifying pressure. The sound of his robe fluttering in the wind added to the oppressive atmosphere. This was the aura of a true apex figure, and it was enough to suffocate anyone.
Yue Huang Long, a Heaven Gate Martial Saint, and Hong Shi Fo, a Divine Embryo Great Deity, had surrounded Li Che, making him feel as if he were being crushed. Even the power of the five Mystic Gate Divine Seeds, which he had unleashed, seemed to be completely suppressed.
The pressure was immense, and Li Che realized just how far he was from the apex figures.
However, Li Che had achieved his purpose.
The King of Hell could still grow...
But they had reached their limit.
Hong Shi Fo stood with his hands behind his back, his powerful soul energy freezing the surrounding space. The white whisk, a top-tier divine armament, had its strands embedded in the void, as if freezing time and space.
Beneath the Yama mask, Li Che calmly observed Hong Shi Fo. He could sense the presence of Lu Tai Bai in the distance.
Suddenly, Li Che's body trembled, and a dream-like scene unfolded behind him. It was the same vision he had seen in the big black dog's dream—a terrifying creature covered in lava, slowly awakening from the depths of hell, its massive body rising inch by inch, its eyes opening to reveal a hellish landscape.
Yue Huang Long and Hong Shi Fo's faces paled as they witnessed this scene, their hair standing on end.
On the White Peak, Lu Tai Bai's brows furrowed as he observed the unfolding events. Even he, a powerful figure, felt a sense of awe.
"The ancient beast behind the Enigmatic Tower!" Lu Tai Bai exclaimed, his finger twitching as his sword began to vibrate.
As Li Che unleashed the power of the Dream Heavenly Master, a chessboard appeared in his chest, symbolizing the Chess Sage.
The Dao Fruit trembled violently.
In the next moment, five of Erxin Dashi's divine chess pieces, which were bathed in the light of Buddha, were suddenly grasped by him.
Simultaneously, he appeared in an instant at the five erupting human bodies of the Mystic Gate Divine Seed, where the energy and blood were swirling.
Then, he threw himself into the vortex.
It was as if an astonishing chemical reaction had been triggered!
"Yama ascends the tower!"
A deep voice echoed from beneath the black and white mask.
Boom!
Countless dazzling and brilliant sword lights burst forth, and the surging energy and blood expanded once again!
Li Che clenched his left fist, and the Three-Bladed Double-Edged Saber emitted a brilliant ringing sound.
Within his chest...
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit intensely stimulated, as if Li Che had drawn out strands of Dao Fruit energy, forcefully infusing them into the Three-Bladed Double-Edged Saber.
Then!
Containing the divine light of the Temple Deity, breaking through the limits of the human body, and fully unleashing the power of the Divine Armament...
With a punch!
He fiercely swung it out!
Colliding with the dazzling silver sword light that suddenly appeared before him.
In an instant, countless sword lights exploded in mid-air!
It was as if they had transformed into a sword lotus that was dazzling to the extreme.
Dreamlike and surreal!
In the night sky, it was as beautiful as a painting.
Yue Huang Long and Hong Shi Fo's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment.
Lu Tai Bai...
Such a fast sword!
They didn't even notice when a sword had appeared in front of the Netherworld King at some unknown time. The terrifying sword energy ravaged and bloomed, completely engulfing and erasing the Netherworld King's figure.
Visible to the naked eye, the void began to expand and extend, covered with dense and intricate cracks, like a spider web!
When the sword lotus slowly dissipated, there was no trace of the Netherworld King wearing the black and white mask anywhere between heaven and earth.
The black city began to dissipate like foam, and the chessboard also vanished without a trace...
Gone?
The Netherworld King...
Had disappeared without a trace?
"Impossible!"
Hong Shi Fo's eyebrows furrowed, and he muttered, "I used the Divine Armament to seal the void, and this is a more powerful sealing force than the Four Greats' Ding Fengbo Divine Talisman!"
That Netherworld King... actually managed to escape!
"With the King as the pinnacle, the Netherworld Apex... is this a being on par with the Venerable Dragon King of the Dragon God lineage?"
A soft voice came from Yue Huang Long's mouth.
There was a vague sense that something was amiss.
But...
To be able to withstand Lu Tai Bai's sword and escape, and even Hong Shi Fo's divine technique, assisted by the Divine Armament, couldn't seal him.
This Netherworld King...
His danger level skyrocketed! A hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.
The Netherworld...
Such a Netherworld!
Buzz!
A sword light transformed into Lu Tai Bai's figure, with his silver hair flying and his hands clasped behind his back.
Between his eyebrows, a silver sword light divine pattern glowed brilliantly.
Lu Tai Bai's eyes revealed a peculiar color.
Although the previous sword wasn't his strongest, he didn't hold back at all.
After all, this Netherworld King had killed an inner sect elder of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
Although Lu Tai Bai had heard about Ji He Shan's deeds, Ji He Shan had been an elder of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect for nearly a hundred years, creating immense benefits for the sect. As long as Ji He Shan: The Divine Chessboard
The originally calm candlelight suddenly began to flicker violently, as if a strong wind had suddenly arisen, threatening to extinguish the burning flame.
Boom!
Li Che, wearing a black and white mask, appeared in an instant, sitting cross-legged on the ground, his body's energy and blood burning intensely like raging flames.
The ancient and mottled green bricks beneath the strange temple began to crack, spreading like a spider web.
"Huff—"
A long sigh came from beneath the mask.
The shattered green bricks of the Odd Temple's floor began to repair themselves at a visible speed, the cracks closing, everything returning to its original state.
Li Che raised his hand and took off the Black and White Yama Mask.
His face was slightly pale, the spiritual essence in his third eye nearly depleted.
His flesh swelled up, covered in gruesome blood marks. Li Che focused his mind and internally examined his body.
A chill ran through his heart.
He saw that not only his skin, muscles, tendons, bones, and internal organs were under immense strain, but they were also riddled with extremely fine cracks.
Although under the powerful perception of his primordial spirit, he could see that these cracks were slowly healing under the nourishment of the power radiating from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, gradually recovering from the injuries.
However, this was truly the most severe damage Li Che had ever sustained!
It wasn't inflicted by someone else.
It was self-inflicted!
Even Lu Tai Bai's sword strike, which had not harmed Li Che at all, had been completely dissipated by the blade aura of the Three-Bladed Double-Edged Saber.
As a powerful figure stationed at the seventh gate of Heaven Gate Pass, he could be considered the seventh strongest martial artist in the world!
Indeed, he was incredibly powerful.
The Dao Fruit was his greatest trump card, and the Three-Bladed Double-Edged Saber was his second greatest trump card.
However, Li Che could sense that the Three-Bladed Double-Edged Saber had fallen completely silent, and his divine seed's vital energy was completely drained, along with the five Two-Hearted Sage divine essence chess pieces he had spent a year to gather...
He sighed lightly.
Back to square one.
But fortunately, the reputation and brand of the Netherworld had been established.
The Netherworld King would become a renowned figure at the apex level.
He would be the one to uphold the Netherworld's standing.
It wasn't a loss.
It was just a pity that he hadn't killed Su Lei Bao. This man was old and cunning, extremely alert, and had not been clouded by hatred and anger.
If Su Lei Bao had rushed to the Su family manor at that time, Li Che would have definitely killed him.
But it was enough.
Su Lei Bao, a Wusheng nearing his final limit, wouldn't live much longer.
Su Lei Bao's divine essence cultivation had not reached the Divine Embryo stage, and even as a Wusheng, his lifespan was shorter than that of a Divine Embryo. Ultimately, he would die.
So, the Su family...
Wouldn't be able to cause much trouble anymore, completely crippled.
The Zhou family, Yun family, and Zhong family, the three major thousand-year-old families of Heavenly Origin Dao City, if they couldn't take advantage of such a golden opportunity, they wouldn't deserve their name.
Li Che perceived the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, which was intact and still releasing Dao Fruit aura, helping to heal his tempered flesh and refining his body.
This Dao Fruit... really wanted to advance!
"Even with the power of the Dao Fruit, detonating five divine seeds still caused such severe injuries... If I had detonated six, it would have been a bit dangerous."
Li Che narrowed his eyes.
"Detonating seven, eight... it might really be fatal."
"
"It's time for some improvement."
Li Che exhaled.
He took out a Martial Pill and swallowed it.
"Exhale—"
"Inhale—"
Sitting cross-legged in the Two-Hearted Sage's Odd Temple, Li Che didn't rush to inventory the Heavenly Earth Jades he had taken from Su Dao Ling and Ji He Shan, but instead began to recover from his injuries.
Such severe injuries like these...
Li Che estimated it would take at least the Great Post-Heaven stage to fully recover.
...
...
The turmoil caused by the Netherworld King ensured that Heavenly Origin Dao City would be sleepless tonight.
The major families were shaken, and the various powers were silent, their original assessments of the Netherworld completely overturned.
The Netherworld, it turned out, had a presence that could rival the apex figures!
The Netherworld King!
Even surrounded by the Sect Lord of the Divine Sect, the Lord of Dao City, and the Supervisor of the Heaven-Qi Supervision, three apex figures, he managed to break through and escape.
And he did so after taking a sword strike from the ruthless Tai Bai Sect Lord, and left gracefully!
Hum—
On White Peak.
Lu Tai Bai returned gracefully, his Tai Bai Sword clanging as it returned to the altar in the Tai Bai Hall.
Snow began to fall gently, covering the mountain peak, spreading a cold chill.
Lu Tai Bai's silver hair fluttered, his gaze falling on the Grand Elder Fang Hanchu, who was holding a Sage Book, dressed in an ancient Confucian robe, with a few snowflakes on his shoulders and hair.
"You held back."
Fang Hanchu said.
Lu Tai Bai smiled, "Xi Xi has a good relationship with the Netherworld. There's no need to drive them to the brink of destruction."
"Ji He Shan is dead," Fang Hanchu sighed.
"Even though I knew he would meet this fate, I didn't expect it to come so soon."
Lu Tai Bai shook his head, "He had too many petty schemes, his intentions were impure. Not only did he receive support from the Su family, but he was also suspected of having connections with Ji Mo Li. If he had truly broken through to the Divine Embryo stage, it would have been troublesome..."
"Let it be. Don't talk about him anymore."
"What do you think of this Netherworld King?"
Lu Tai Bai looked at Fang Hanchu.
Fang Hanchu brushed off the Sage Book, stood up, and shook off the accumulated snow.
His gaze was clear and serene, as if pure white light flowed through it.
He crossed the hills, stepping over the snow.
Looking straight at the brightly lit Divine Sect Disciple City nestled among the mountains.
"The blade light that blocked your sword aura is suspected to be a mythical weapon... the Three-Bladed Double-Edged Saber. And the evil dog phenomenon behind the Netherworld King, though not very oppressive, made us feel uneasy just through the image. Such an evil dog paired with a two-bladed saber..."
"Doesn't it remind you of someone?"
