Chapter 303: Ascending to Martial Saint, Shedding Mortal Body and Betraying the Divine Embryo, My Da

Chapter 303: Ascending to Martial Saint, Shedding Mortal Body and Betraying the Divine Embryo, My Daughter is the Professional Betrayer

Martial Saint?!

Martial Saint!!!

At this moment, the entire Golden Radiance City seemed to be shrouded by a terrifying aura, as if the heavens and earth were furious, sending down a calamity to destroy everything in its path. It was as if a divine being had emerged from behind the leaden clouds, revealing an enraged face, spitting out thunderbolts to annihilate the mortal body that dared to defy the heavens.

On Golden Radiance Peak!

A mighty wind arose!

Countless layers of snow melted, and scorching rain poured down from the sky.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The heavy rain poured, but it couldn't wash away the pervasive and formidable aura.

Martial Saint's aura!

An extremely frightening martial will!

Nan Li Huo trembled slightly, and everyone rushed into the rain, letting the downpour wash over them, but they couldn't help but stare in awe at the figure slowly rising from the city, gradually becoming clearer.

It was impossible to see clearly!

They couldn't make out the figure at all!

Who was that?!

Even though the martial expert didn't try to conceal themselves, there seemed to be a distorting force in the air, bending the light and twisting their vision.

They couldn't see the terrifying figure, whose blood, true essence, and aura were so powerful that it seemed like a mountain was about to topple. It was as if a giant python was coiled around the body, exuding immense strength.

Just a glance was enough to make one feel a surge of oppressive pressure.

That blazing will was so intense that it seemed to overwhelm one's martial will, causing it to wail in agony, almost on the verge of complete collapse.

Nan Li Huo's primary cultivation was not in martial arts; he was a Primordial Form Realm divine cultivator.

However, even though he wasn't a martial artist, facing a martial expert who had reached the pinnacle of the human body still made him shudder.

It was an innate respect for the strong.

The others beside Nan Li Huo also shared this sense of awe. The disciples of the Divine Sect were even more terrified, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, and they couldn't even muster the strength to move.

The realm...

It was too high!

"A Martial Saint!"

"Moreover, not an ordinary Martial Saint, but an extremely terrifying one!"

Nan Li Huo's eyes shone with a dazzling light, filled with shock.

But in his eyes, a brilliant flame suddenly appeared.

"Martial Saint... Martial Saint... this might be... might be my chance!"

A hint of madness flashed in Nan Li Huo's eyes.

Due to his injuries, breaking through to the Divine Embryo realm had become extremely difficult. However, if he could use the stimulation of this Martial Saint's breakthrough to ignite his divine energy, he might have a chance to re-enter the Divine Embryo realm.

Even if...

After breaking through to the Divine Embryo, his path would be completely cut off.

Furthermore, his injuries might cause him to burn his own life force.

But Nan Li Huo had something he had to do.

In the courtyard, Nan Li Huo sat cross-legged in the puddles formed by the rain, which flowed like waves.

With his five hearts facing the sky, his primordial spirit left his body and hovered above his head, sensing the terrifying martial will and majestic heavenly might in the air.

Zhang Qingzheng, Zhu Hong Dou, and the others sighed upon seeing Nan Li Huo's posture.

Liu Yang Yuan looked at his teacher with mixed emotions and then left the courtyard with the other elders.

They left the entire Golden Radiance Peak's courtyard to Nan Li Huo.

...

...

"A supreme grandmaster reaching the pinnacle, breaking through to Martial Saint?!"

"Within Golden Radiance City, there's actually such a powerful expert hidden! No, an expert among experts!"

In the Governor's Mansion.

Due to the death of the previous governor, Su Huaili, the Great Jing Dynasty dispatched a new governor.

Golden Radiance City's location was of utmost strategic importance, mainly because the Eight-Armed Hell Lotus Wrathful Third Prince's Strange Temple was situated on the Nine Dragons River, very close to Golden Radiance City.

Therefore, the Great Jing Dynasty specifically sent a governor from the Divine Capital.

This governor was quite powerful, a Primordial Great Sage, and upon arriving in Golden Radiance City, he swiftly suppressed all opposition with his formidable abilities.

Even Nan Li Huo had to temporarily avoid his sharp edge.

Fortunately, this governor had no connection to Prince Ji Mali and was not sent by him, so Nan Li Huo didn't have any significant conflicts with him, and they could coexist peacefully.

However, Golden Radiance City didn't become entirely peaceful after Li Che's family left.

Instead, it became even more turbulent, with more and more factions sending powerful individuals to infiltrate and hide in Golden Radiance City.

The Corpse God Sect's ambitions remained unquenched. After cautiously testing the waters and discovering that the Netherworld's evil beings had disappeared, they resumed their efforts to establish their influence.

They hadn't given up on the Third Prince's Strange Temple.

On the other side, the assassin organization, Hunter Sect, also re-established its branch, but this time, they were even more discreet and cautious.

At this moment, the powerful individuals from various factions were all shocked.

Within Golden Radiance City, there was a powerful expert breaking through to Martial Saint?!

Many factions felt a deep sense of relief, and the Corpse God Sect immediately notified all its Corpse God Messengers to withdraw from Golden Radiance City.

In the Heaven-Qi Supervision Bureau.

The Inspector, Hu Ying Yue, whose erhu had broken, took a deep breath.

His eyes shone with intense brilliance as he stared at the scene, unable to hold back his laughter, "Martial Saint's breakthrough, the splendor of Triflowers!"

"Such a magnificent blood essence, the splendor of Triflowers, and a terrifying physique..."

"Indeed... indeed, it's a fortunate sight!"

"Witnessing such a powerful expert's tribulation, observing a martial expert's tribulation crossing! It's a once-in-a-lifetime blessing, worthy of celebration!"

Hu Ying Yue felt his artistic inspiration surge.

He took out another erhu and sat atop the eight-cornered roof of the Treasure Tower, starting to play.

The heavy rain couldn't drown out the sound of his erhu.

Screech, screech—

Thunder rumbled, but Hu Ying Yue remained immersed in his artistic creation, lost in a dreamlike state.

The entire Golden Radiance City was shaken by this event.

However, none of this was within Li Che's perception or concern.

In the sky above, the tribulation thunder unique to a Martial Saint's breakthrough was brewing, unleashing an incredibly terrifying force, as if to destroy the heavens and earth.

It was as if his return to the path of martial cultivation and the steadily rising martial will had stimulated the birth of this terrifying tribulation.

Or perhaps it was because Li Che had surpassed the mortal realm, reaching the stage of the mortal body, and was about to break through to the extraordinary, transcending the ordinary, that this terrifying tribulation had descended.

Facing such an extraordinary and terrifying tribulation...

Li Che showed no trace of fear or retreat in the face of the Martial Saint Tribulation Thunder, which was far more powerful than the tribulation thunder he had encountered during his ascension to the Divine Eagle Demi-Saint.

The power seemed to transcend dimensions!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunderous roar was more terrifying than the most fearsome summer storm, with lightning spreading across the sky like a spider web, capturing the hearts and souls of all who witnessed it. The power was so overwhelming that even the most malevolent spirits would be scattered to the winds.

Li Che closed his eyes, his black hair dancing wildly as if it were a black lightning bolt. His robust and muscular body expanded, layer upon layer, slowly rising into the clouds and appearing in mid-air.

He looked like an insignificant ant facing the tribulation thunder in the vast sky.

The scene was incredibly intense and overwhelming. Li Che tightly closed his eyes, and an invisible field distorted around him. His mind immersed itself in a unique space.

He was facing a human-sized golden core, a physical golden core!

It was enormous, like a star, and its surface pulsated like a beating heart. Countless fist imprints covered the surface, resembling craters created by countless meteorites, similar to the uneven surface of the moon from Li Che's past life.

It was as if countless fists had struck the core.

Perhaps it was just one punch.

Or maybe it was thousands upon thousands of punches!

On the surface of the core, a crack appeared, like a deep chasm created by the collision and compression of the earth.

It was bottomless and pitch-black.

Immense essence energy gushed out from the crack in the core.

In an instant, it flooded and washed over Li Che.

Boom!

Li Che's eyes snapped open. The feedback from his sudden realization of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Martial Dao wasn't exhausted yet, and his entire being was in an extreme state, akin to a Martial Dao deity.

At this moment, Li Che's Martial Dao cultivation and combat abilities had reached a transcendent level.

An idea flashed through Li Che's mind.

He hadn't experienced combat while in the state of sudden realization of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Martial Dao.

Perhaps it would be incredibly powerful!

In this state, Li Che felt that Martial Dao had become ordinary and simple, like the ultimate simplicity of the Dao.

However, Li Che felt that using this state for combat would be a waste.

But after having this thought, he decided to give it a try later, perhaps using only 5% of the sudden realization feedback for combat.

Since the effect of sudden realization feedback was the same, the only difference was the duration of the state, which depended on the amount of feedback received.

With this thought, Li Che felt he had unintentionally developed another hidden ace.

Boom!

As he opened his eyes, his consciousness returned.

The first crack in the human-sized golden core represented the success of opening the Human Essence Core.

It was much easier than he had imagined.

Li Che's solid foundation meant that normally, he would have to exert tremendous strength and face great difficulty in tearing apart the human-sized golden core.

But to his surprise, even the sudden realization feedback wasn't fully consumed yet.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The raging thunder gathered into a deep blue Thunder Dragon, emerging from the cloud canopy with lifelike dragon whiskers, scales, and eyes. It seemed like a true god of thunder overseeing the mortal who dared to defy the heavenly pressure.

Li Che stared at the Thunder Dragon, and in his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Martial Dao fruit not only pulsated but also the Thunder Magnetic Body Martial Dao fruit began to throb wildly.

With the Thunder Magnetic Body, Li Che naturally knew how to avoid the thunder.

As a master of magnetic field power, attracting and evading thunder were his specialties.

However, facing this thunder, a hundred times more terrifying than the previous Demi-Saint Tribulation Thunder, Li Che had no intention of avoiding it.

Avoiding thunder...

Was the choice of the weak!

Li Che wanted to become stronger, to reach the apex, and to be the pillar and support for his daughter, wife, and family.

He couldn't be afraid, couldn't hide. As the head of the family and a man, he had to strive, fight, and grow stronger.

Li Che hovered in mid-air, his entire body covered and enveloped by the essence energy gushing out from the cracks in the human-sized golden core.

The terrifying essence energy filled the space between heaven and earth, causing the entire Golden Radiance City to feel scorching heat.

The essence energy was awe-inspiring, making the city's cultivators feel as if an ancient mythical beast had emerged from the depths of the Deceptive Tower.

The overwhelming essence energy, like the bursting of the Nine Dragons River, roared and expanded in mid-air, evaporating every raindrop within a thousand feet.

The air distorted, clearing the sky.

Boom!

Amidst the dazzling brilliance, even though it was daytime, the world seemed to transform into night. Everyone watched as the silhouette of the Martial Master suspended in mid-air blocked the descending Thunder Dragon with his outstretched hand, like an ant blocking a hundred-foot python.

It was awe-inspiring!

Was this a Martial Master?

Was this still a human?

Even a deity would be no different!

In the eyes of the onlookers, the Martial Master facing the tribulation clenched one hand to block the Thunder Dragon, while the other hand formed a fist. Behind him, five swirling vortexes of qi and blood rapidly rotated, releasing a terrifying force.

The air seemed to collapse and explode into nothingness as he clenched his fist.

Five Divine Seeds!

Spinning and enhancing!

Turbocharged!

He slammed his fist into the Thunder Dragon!

A deafening roar filled everyone's ears, like the Thunder Dragon's painful and desperate howl.

Ripples spread in a circular motion, expanding and swirling like a hurricane in mid-air.

The Thunder Dragon's body exploded, its parts bursting out like swollen blisters, releasing bolts of lightning.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

Countless arcs of lightning danced on the Martial Master's body.

Then, to the shock of everyone present, the martial artist knelt in mid-air, bathing in countless thunderbolts, allowing the thunder to wash over his mortal body!

As if absorbing the essence of this terrifying thunder!

Every cultivator in Golden Light City, whether mortal, martial artist, or divine cultivator, looked up in awe.

In the governor's mansion.

The newly appointed governor trembled all over.

He was from the Divine Capital, a man of the National Teacher, in the Great Jing Dynasty, where the most powerful martial artists and cultivators gathered. He had seen Martial Saints and witnessed the opening of the Human Essence Core and breaking through realms!

But...

He had never seen such a spectacular scene!

Is this still a human?!

An incredibly strong intuition suddenly arose in the governor's heart.

If this person doesn't die...

There will definitely be a place for him among the ten gates of the Great Jing Heavenly Gate!

So...

Who is this person?!

...

...

Boom——!!!

"Martial Saint!"

"Success!"

Li Che hovered in mid-air, bathing in the thunder pool formed by the true dragon of thunder that had transformed.

A fortunate thought arose in his heart!

With the opening of the Martial Saint, the Human Essence Core!

The essence of the Human Essence Core gushed out, merging with the Triflower True Energy, transforming into an even more powerful Primordial Qi, unparalleled and invincible, surpassing True Energy in both quality and quantity!

True Energy is still a type of energy.

But the Martial Saint's Primordial Qi is already a substantial force!

It has substance and form, not an illusory energy.

Primordial Qi can transform into various substantial weapons, even more durable than ordinary metal! Of course, it's still inferior to divine weapons.

But this is the Martial Saint's transformation; there's no doubt that Primordial Qi is stronger than True Energy.

And with the opening of the Human Essence Core, it's like opening a door, pushing open the tightly closed doors of heaven and earth!

The spirit seems to detach from the mortal body undergoing transformation, reaching up to the azure heavens above and drawing from the netherworld below!

It's a feeling of...

A more profound connection between heaven and man!

This is the unique heavenly induction of the Martial Saint!

Uniting with heaven, uniting with earth, communicating and merging with heaven and earth!

Li Che felt his five senses detach from his body, merging with heaven and earth, as if heaven and earth were for him, and he for heaven and earth!

The Triflower's essence, energy, and spirit merge with heaven, earth, and man!

I will seek above and below, connecting with the azure heavens and the netherworld!

Crackling sounds filled the air!

In an instant, his body underwent an astonishing transformation. The flesh that had reached its peak, the muscles that had reached their limit, at this moment, broke through their limits! Even without the need to detonate the five divine seeds, he could directly break free from the shackles of the mortal body!

"So..."

"This is the Martial Saint!"

"Breaking free from the constraints of the mortal body, truly transcending mortality!"

"From now on, no longer a mortal!"

...

...

Boom! The waters of the Nine Dragons River surged upwards, as if a ten-zhang-high wave was pounding and churning in the sky, creating a single wave in the heavens.

Then it turned into a white, misty river tide, fiercely crashing towards the strange temple in the center of the river.

With a bang, a dazzling spray of water exploded!

As the wave receded, a new one came crashing in!

Suddenly.

After a wave receded.

On the originally empty white jade staircase in front of the Strange Temple of the Furious Third Prince with Eight Arms and Hell Lotus.

A figure appeared, its body engulfed in black flames, standing quietly.

His arms crossed, his gaze cold and indifferent.

The black flames burned, forming a lotus that quietly revolved around him.

The figure tilted his head, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Looking towards the direction of Golden Light City.

"The limits of the mortal body, transcending the ordinary flesh!"

"This realm... can it also give birth to such a martial artist?"

"Such a solid foundation..."

"If one follows such a solid foundation, taking one step at a time, perhaps... there's a chance to reach the depths of the Deceptive Tower."

"Then..."

"To be struck down."

The Third Prince, with his arms crossed, smiled faintly.

Suddenly.

He tilted his head, "Hmm..."

"Erlang True Lord's Three Pronged Double-Edged Blade?"

"The Equalizing Face of Erlang?"

"And the Yin God Sword of my true body?"

"Tsk..."

"It's starting to get interesting."

"A rebellious spirit."

"I wonder..."

"Can he overturn heaven and earth?"

The Third Prince, with his arms crossed, had wind and fire wheels beneath his feet, and the Chaos Silk enveloped his body, like a divine dragon dancing.

"It doesn't matter if he can't overturn it..."

"Your daughter has inherited my true body's legacy."

"She's a professional."

Amidst the laughter.

The Nine Dragons River seemed enraged, and the waves instantly rose to a height of hundreds of zhang, pounding fiercely on the Strange Temple.

The laughter disappeared.

The Third Prince also vanished.

...

...

Crackle, crackle—! Bolts of lightning tore through the sky, ripping apart the leaden clouds laden with heavy snow!

The snow that had fallen for several days in Heavenly Origin Dao City finally stopped, and the thick snow covered the entire city like heavy coats.

For the various powers in Heavenly Origin Dao City, these four days were filled with hidden turmoil.

Because the Strange Temple of the Two-Hearted Sage was about to open, many unfamiliar and powerful faces appeared in Heavenly Origin Dao City, all of them unapproachable.

The Heaven Essence Divine Sect of Guangling Dao, the Seven Treasures Divine Sect of Longyuan Dao, the Profound Symbol Divine Sect of Qingyun Dao, the Little Ling Yin Temple of Xiling Dao, and many other divine sects secretly sent powerful cultivators to Heavenly Origin Dao City.

The cultivators in Heavenly Origin Dao City were well aware that these powerful figures, rarely seen in their respective regions, had mostly come for the divine weapon named by the Great Inspector in the Strange Temple of the Two-Hearted Sage.

After four days, the time passed in a flash.

The east glowed with brilliance, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the world.

The entire Divine Eagle Ridge seemed to come alive.

Numerous figures exuded powerful auras, connecting their martial will with the heavens and earth, and through heavenly man induction, they were Martial Saint experts crossing the snowy lands, leaving no traces as they hurried towards Divine Eagle Ridge.

There were also Divine Embryo cultivators, their divine nature surging, enveloping them as they soared through the air.

However, no one dared to trespass the Enigmatic Temple located on Divine Eagle Ridge.

In front of the temple, a figure in white, with hair like a waterfall, was sitting and pointing at a little girl with a small belly practicing her sword techniques.

The sharp sword light danced, dazzling to the extreme.

Xi Xi showed no fear, and was even excited, even though so many people were watching her practice, including Martial Saints and Divine Embryos. Xi Xi's heart was fearless, and she only wanted to laugh.

One day, they would all kneel before Xi Xi's mighty sword! Xi Xi's fighting spirit soared, and her sword techniques became faster and faster!

Divine Eagle Ridge was quiet.

No one dared to move, because Lu Tai Bai's reputation was too great. Tai Bai Kill Star, a great figure in the divine script book and the Heavenly Gate Pass, was a true top-tier expert.

How dare they act rashly without his presence?

"The time has not come yet. When it does, the temple will open."

Lu Tai Bai pointed at Xi Xi while speaking.

"As you say, Grandmaster Tai Bai."

Everyone bowed, responding politely, without a hint of anger.

If they became angry, they would become the target of Lu Tai Bai's warning. How unjust would that be?

So, it was best to maintain a smile.

...

...

Heavenly Origin Dao City.

Su Family Mansion.

One luxurious carriage after another gathered in front of the mansion, and as the sky brightened, the city came to life.

Many of the Su family's young heirs, still in their cradles, were held by their nannies, wrapped tightly, and placed in the carriages.

Only those women who had married into the Su family were left behind in the mansion's courtyard, unattended.

After Su Leibao left some of the Su family's peripheral members, he immediately ordered them to leave the city! The Dragon Horse pulled the carriages, and with a crack of the whip, they sped out of Heavenly Origin Dao City, rushing towards the outskirts.

Su Leibao rode alone in a carriage, and as soon as they left the city, the Su family's convoy split into three groups, each heading towards a different destination.

Suddenly, Su Leibao ordered the carriage to stop.

He stepped out and saw the round-faced, hands-behind-his-back figure of the Dao Lord Yue Huanglong.

"Your humble servant pays respect to the Dao Lord."

Su Leibao coughed twice and bowed.

Yue Huanglong's face wore a thick smile, and seeing Su Leibao's decisive decision to relocate the entire Su family, he couldn't help but admire Su Leibao's resolution.

"Be careful on your journey."

"I've arranged for a squad of Divine Guards to escort you out of Heavenly Origin Dao City. Once you reach the Divine Capital, please convey my regards to the Third Prince."

Yue Huanglong smiled and said.

Su Leibao's face lit up with joy.

"Thank you, Dao Lord."

Yue Huanglong nodded, and in the distance, a squad of Divine Guards in golden armor, led by the handsome and majestic Golden Armor Divine Guard Grand Marshal Yan Jing, was already waiting quietly.

Su Leibao's eyes narrowed.

Yan Jing?! Yue Huanglong... was sending Yan Jing to escort the Su family?

Su Leibao's heart sank.

Could this be a plan to eliminate them on the way? The journey was long and treacherous, and in the remote wilderness...

If they were eliminated, there would be no one to tell the tale.

Yue Huanglong, however, smiled and patted Su Leibao's shoulder, "Rest assured, the Su family and my Dao Lord Mansion have cooperated for many years. How could I abandon you now? The Third Prince personally sent a letter... I must honor his request."

Su Leibao's eyes lit up with joy.

A letter from the Third Prince? That's a guarantee!

As long as the Su family successfully leaves the Lingnan Dao region and enters Guangling Dao...

They will be completely safe.

"Go, and I hope that one day, Brother Su, you can return in glory to Heavenly Origin Dao City, and at that time... let's drink and talk."

Dao Lord Yue Huanglong said with a smile.

Su Leibao bowed, but his eyes dimmed, "I'm nearing the end of my life, and this journey to the Divine Capital... I fear... I may not have the chance to return."

Su Leibao was aware of his limited talent and the difficulty of breaking through to the Martial Saint realm. Without that breakthrough, he couldn't extend his lifespan...

He could only face his mortality and wait for death.

Su Leibao only wished to pave the way for the Su family's future before his demise.

As Su Leibao left, a squad of Golden Armor Divine Guards escorted his convoy.

Soon, the convoy disappeared into the wind and snow.

Yue Huanglong's round figure flashed, and he disappeared, only to reappear on the Divine Pavilion of the Heaven Divination Bureau.

"Supervisor, what do you think are the chances of the Su family successfully leaving the Lingnan Dao region?"

Yue Huanglong picked up a chess piece and played a game of Five-in-a-Row with the Supervisor, his brows furrowed as he felt a bit of pressure from this poor chess player.

"Leaving the Lingnan Dao region?"

Supervisor Hong Shi placed a chess piece, completing a five-in-a-row, and laughed heartily, exuding a sense of grandeur.

"With the Netherworld's style of doing things..."

"What are you farting about?"

...

...

Golden Radiance City.

After four days of torrential rain.

As the last thunderbolt intertwined with the floating figure above the city, the entire Golden Radiance City seemed shrouded in darkness.

The black hair danced wildly, and the body's muscles rippled like a thunderbolt.

The second chapter is here, and while typing, an old friend from many years ago asked Old Li for a chapter recommendation. Old Li couldn't help but sigh, remembering the many books he had previously endorsed, feeling like struggling in a muddy pit. He would help as much as he could, and the old friend's new book, "All the Leeks, Help Me Ascend," is available for everyone to read! It's late, so Old Li will continue with more chapters tomorrow! Everyone, please support with your monthly tickets and recommendations!
