Chapter 304: Martial Saint's Awakening, Earthly Realm's Bull Demon's Rise (Part 2)
Chapter 304: Martial Saint's Awakening, Earthly Realm's Bull Demon's Rise (Part 2)
Little Ling Yin Temple, among the various divine sects in Xiling Dao, was quite mysterious, with extremely powerful overall strength. Due to its proximity to the Western Regions' Buddhist land, Xiling Dao's control over the region was extremely weak.
This resulted in Little Ling Yin Temple creating a Buddhist country-like area within Xiling Dao.
"If he refuses, then so be it. What's there to compare?"
"If he challenges me, must I accept?"
Li Che shook his head, unbothered by the rejection of a Divine Eagle Demi-Saint's challenge.
He had just become a Divine Eagle Demi-Saint, while the Little Ling Yin Temple's Demi-Saint had been one for many years. It was understandable for him not to accept the challenge.
"The Two-Hearted Sage's Mysterious Temple..."
"And the Su family..."
"The Su family is quite clever, taking advantage of the attention on the Two-Hearted Sage's Mysterious Temple to leave the Dao City, the risk is significantly lower than usual."
"Otherwise, if the Su family sells the city's assets, these resources are enough to make various forces envious. Whether they can safely leave the Lingnan Dao is uncertain."
"But..."
The Two-Hearted Sage's Mysterious Temple.
And the Su family...
The Netherworld will have it all!
Boom! Li Che's arms flung open, feeling the powerful surge of blood energy. The recently broken through energy channels intertwined, creating a strong urge to stretch his muscles.
With two fingers, he tore through the air.
A cute cow mask appeared from the Heaven Earth Jade space, held by Li Che.
Donning a straw hat and a black cloak over his golden lotus ink robe, Li Che landed on his toes, and the Heaven-Earth Chessboard began to move with him, expanding its coverage.
Li Che continuously teleported to the limits of his perception.
...
...
Divine Eagle Ridge.
Heavy snow fell, mixed with raindrops frozen into ice pellets.
The ground, covered in thick snow, was pockmarked with holes from the falling rain.
Six-Eared Hell Lotus Monkey, the Two-Hearted Sage's Mysterious Temple.
The temple's expansion occupied a vast area.
Outside the temple.
Numerous luxurious carriages were parked, each carrying powerful individuals.
Within Heavenly Origin Dao City, many martial artists, driven by curiosity, gathered.
However, they were stopped by the Divine Guard Army and had to watch from a distance. It was understandable, given the temple's connection to a Five-Elder-ranked sage.
The martial artists looked at the parked carriages, taking in cold breaths.
Not to mention the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, but the various forces within Heavenly Origin Dao City were all present.
The Su family, having lost a Martial Saint and a divine fetus, forfeited their chance to enter the temple. Still, they didn't give up entirely, sending a Golden Body Transformation Divine Yuan Realman.
The remaining three families, the Yuns, Zhous, and Zhongs, also had their top-secret Martial Saints and Divine Embryos personally present.
The Yun family's Divine Embryo was the Old Ancestor Yun Sanxiao, who had achieved the first divine transformation, while the Zhou family had a Martial Saint, and the Zhong family also had a Martial Saint. With a Martial Saint and a Divine Embryo in attendance, these families had the opportunity to ensure their clan's longevity for a thousand years.
Apart from these three families, there were also the Temple Administration's Supreme Grand Master, the Divine Guard Army's two Grand Masters of the Heavenly Three Flowers, and the Heaven Divination Bureau's Divine Primordial Grand Master, among others...
The Temple Administration's two governors, Yu Wenlong and Feng Zhiqi, did not meet the criteria set by Lu Tai Bai.
Their cultivation had surpassed the first stage of the Martial Saint realm, so they couldn't enter the Deceptive Temple to seize the opportunity. Instead, they could only place their hopes on these Grand Masters.
The Dao Lord's Mansion was visited by the younger Dao Lord Yue Weizheng, son of Yue Huanglong. As a Martial Saint at the first stage of the realm, he met the requirements.
Additionally, there were the Heavenly Essence Sect, Profound Symbol Sect, Seven Treasures Sect, Little Ling Yin Temple, and other divine sects.
On the side of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, the three elders Ding Zi, Gongtu Jingjun of Divine Falcon Ridge, and Tang Xiejia, the grand elder of Divine Falcon Ridge, two Divine Embryos at the first divine transformation, and a Martial Saint, chose to enter the temple.
Below the Martial Saint level, the five elders Lin Wenjun and Huo Xiang, as well as the fifth elder Li Che of Divine Falcon Ridge, would also enter.
The fifth elder of Divine Falcon Ridge, Li Che, the Demi-Saint of Divine Falcon!
He attracted the most attention.
Almost all eyes in the martial world were on the carriage driven by the Supreme Grand Master swordsman, which carried the fifth elder of Divine Falcon Ridge.
The curtain was drawn, making it impossible to see the fifth elder's face.
It was said that he was very young, only twenty-five years old!
Ding-a-ling—
Suddenly, the sound of a bell chimed.
A middle-aged monk in a bright red cassock appeared, holding a golden staff with a copper ring that chimed as he walked.
"Li Half-Saint, I am Huangtu, disciple of the Yellow Eyebrow Saint, from Little Ling Yin Temple."
The middle-aged monk held the staff in one hand and placed the other on his chest, approaching the carriage with a gentle demeanor.
"Li Half-Saint, you have rejected my challenge for four consecutive days..."
"Today, I finally get to meet Li Half-Saint. Li Half-Saint... will you still reject me? We are merely here for a pure exchange of Divine Falcon techniques, right?"
Huangtu's earlobes were exceptionally large, almost like hair strands draped over his shoulders.
However, there was no response from within the carriage.
Huangtu furrowed his brows, slightly displeased.
If Li Che agreed to a match and an exchange of Divine Falcon techniques, he was confident he could use Little Ling Yin Temple's secret techniques to subdue Li Che, turning him into a Buddhist believer or, at the very least, convincing him to follow Huangtu to Little Ling Yin Temple.
Of course, this might provoke the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect and anger Lu Tai Bai...
But this was exactly what Huangtu wanted.
He wanted...
Lu Tai Bai to make a move.
Huangtu wasn't afraid of death, but this was a task entrusted to him by the Great Mage Huangtu.
Although Huangtu wasn't entirely clear about the Great Mage's intentions, he had to carry out the order.
In Little Ling Yin Temple, the difference in ranks was immense.
He couldn't defy the Great Mage's command.
Unfortunately, this Li Che...
Was as unmoving as wood, lacking the fiery spirit of youth, making it impossible to provoke him.
Huangtu toyed with the staff in his hand, his eyes flashing as he considered a different approach.
Humm—
In the distance, a copper bell rang, its vibrations echoing.
Lu Tai Bai, who had been blocking the entrance to the Deceptive Temple and instructing the little girl Xi Xi in her cultivation, patted the little girl's head and spoke in a deep voice, his words clashing like colliding sword blades.
"The Two-Hearted Sage's Deceptive Temple is now open."
After speaking, Lu Tai Bai turned, flicked his fingers, and sent a sword qi towards the Two-Hearted Sage's Deceptive Temple.
The sword qi parted the waves, and the deceptive fog within the Deceptive Tower immediately split to the sides, revealing a deep path leading inside.
"Everyone, enter. Opportunities are fated, and each relies on their abilities."
Lu Tai Bai spoke indifferently.
Then, with his silver hair flying and arms spread wide, he rose into the air.
Huangtu's eyes flashed with determination. His cultivation was at the second divine transformation of the Divine Embryo, which didn't meet the requirements to enter the Deceptive Tower. Therefore, the one sent by Little Ling Yin Temple to enter the Deceptive Tower was the monk who had been chasing Huangtu, the Martial Monk Wu Gang, who had achieved the invincible Vajra state.
"Master, I'm off," Wu Gang said, dressed in a gray monk's robe, looking at Huangtu.
After saying this, Wu Gang took the first step into the opened Deceptive Tower, his tattered shoes stained with snow, resembling a solitary ascetic who had traveled a thousand miles, and he was the first to act under everyone's gaze.
Huangtu retracted his gaze from Wu Gang and turned to look at Xi Xi, who sat obediently in the carriage.
In his eyes, a look of...
Astonishment!
Divine nature surged like a tide, and his comprehension was extraordinary, as if bathed in a million-foot Buddha's light...
No wonder he was Lu Tai Bai's disciple; otherwise, a girl like this should have been accepted into Little Ling Yin Temple.
In the future, she would at least become a female Bodhisattva!
It was said that this girl was Li Che's daughter...
Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage was lifted.
The Immortal in Painting, Li Che, gracefully emerged, glanced at Huangtu, nodded gently, and then did nothing more.
The Immortal in Painting, Li Che, completely ignored Huangtu and entered the Deceptive Tower.
No one noticed anything unusual or strange.
Even Lu Tai Bai didn't realize that this Li Che...
Wasn't Li Che's true self.
Suddenly, many people exclaimed in surprise and awe.
In the distance, on the snowy plain, a figure with a golden treasure staff in both hands approached with a flamboyant stride.
On his face, he wore a mask of a Divine Monkey with a loud laugh.
This was a Divine Monkey clone created by Li Che's Immortal in Painting clone.
At this moment, the Divine Monkey walked step by step under everyone's gaze!
"Divine Monkey of the Netherworld!"
"One of the Netherworld's great evils! He dares to show himself?"
"Why not? Who dares to lay a hand on the Divine Monkey at this moment?"
The King of the Netherworld, a vegetarian? Have you all forgotten the fate of the Su Family?"
...
The crowd of martial artists was astounded.
The intimidating presence brought by the King of the Netherworld reached its peak at this moment.
Even the major powers dared not harbor a single thought about the Monkey God.
"Grandmaster Taibai, may this Monkey God enter the Deceptive Tower of the Erxin Great Sage?"
The Monkey God, carrying his treasure staff, chuckled.
Lu Tai Bai stood with his hands behind his back, his silver hair flying in the wind, gazing at the Monkey God...
His eyebrows furrowed.
"He may."
The Monkey God's cultivation was not even that of a Martial Saint, but he met the requirements to enter the Divine Pavilion.
No one stopped the Monkey God. With the treasure staff on his shoulders and his hands hanging loosely, the Monkey God stepped into the Deceptive Tower.
The Netherworld had sent someone too!
The Netherworld was also moved by the Willful Iron Divine Pole in the Mysterious Temple of the Erxin Great Sage?
But...
The Erxin Great Sage is the Monkey God, and this Netherworld Monkey God... is also the Monkey God! The Netherworld's intentions were clear as day!
At this moment, many people's hearts filled with curiosity.
This Willful Iron Divine Pole...
Who will it end up in the hands of?
Or rather...
Whom will this divine weapon choose?
...
...
The mountain path was covered in deep snow, making it smooth and flat.
The Dragon Horse's legs stepped onto the snow, not sinking but instead galloping swiftly, pulling the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Su Leibao sat upright, without lighting the stove, making the carriage interior cold and quiet.
He sat on a soft chair, stroking the dragon-headed cane resting on his leg, his eyes filled with determination.
His heart pounded incessantly...
The Su Family had split into three groups, and Su Leibao wasn't sure if they could all make it out alive. He only knew that the more detachments, the more chances they had.
Moreover, he had taken care of the major and minor families in Heavenly Origin Dao City and other powers, feeding them with the resources he had acquired.
Additionally, he had the protection and arrangements of the Dao Lord Yue Huanglong.
The threats from the forces of Heavenly Origin Dao City were not significant, especially since most of the assassins capable of threatening the Su Family's migration group had been taken care of by him.
Now, the only threat...
Or rather, the force that had driven the Su Family to their current dire situation...
Was the Netherworld!
Su Leibao's concern was the King of the Netherworld. If the King of the Netherworld took action personally...
He would surely face death.
He was an Apex Martial Sage who had witnessed the existence of the Heavenly Man Induction! Not someone he could stop.
However, the King of the Netherworld had been intimidated by the three Apex Martial Sages of Heavenly Origin Dao City the last time he appeared, and he probably wouldn't dare to show up again so easily.
But Su Leibao's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
His heart pounded uncontrollably, and the intense threat made it hard for him to breathe.
A thick, bloody aura suddenly burst forth.
In this moment, not even a cry of agony was heard from the numerous Su Family cultivators in his group...
They were silently beheaded by the shadows that emerged from the writhing figures! Su Leibao's heart pounded violently, and his eyes filled with bloodshot rage!
What grudge, what enmity, could make them so ruthless?
The Su Family had abandoned their ancestral legacy in Heavenly Origin Dao City!
They were leaving their homeland and heading for the Divine Capital, yet they were still not spared!
"Netherworld!"
Su Leibao roared with a deep, resonating anger!
Anger!
Hatred!
Killing intent!
It surged like a violent tide, unstoppable!
A gust of wind blew, and the carriage curtain suddenly fluttered, revealing a towering figure standing on the carriage shaft—a bull demon!
"A bull demon?!"
"A bull demon who isn't even a Martial Saint dares to come and kill me?!"
Su Leibao felt the threat.
The next moment, Su Leibao's frail body suddenly transformed, becoming robust and muscular. Terrifying energy and blood intertwined, and the Heavenly Man Induction pressured him like a mountain!
His eyes widened with fury, and his white hair turned black. He was about to burst out of the carriage!
But the bull demon didn't utter a word. Instead, he clenched his fists, and his five fingers became like five divine spears, shattering the airflow and forming a powerful punch!
Twisting his waist, he sidestepped and unleashed a punch!
Boom!
A vast amount of primordial qi erupted from the bull demon's dantian, gushing out from the human body golden core!
It was as if a river had burst its banks, emitting a terrifying roar!
The qi gathered into a punch and smashed into the carriage!
Boom!
A thunderous explosion shook the ground!
The horrifying amount of qi and blood that had been building up condensed into a dragon-like force!
In an instant, the entire luxurious carriage exploded!
Within a range of several dozen feet, the accumulated snow instantly melted into steam, and scorching heat rose. Amidst the shattered carriage, Su Leibao coughed up mouthfuls of blood.
His eyes revealed shock.
His entire body, like an uncontrollable cannonball, blasted out.
On the snow-free ground, like ripples on a lake, five deep craters exploded one after another!
"This is..."
"A Martial Saint?!"
First Chapter, there will be another chapter later. Since the beginning of the serialization, this book has been criticized for being too descriptive. However, this is the author's style, and I can only try to condense the descriptions. Perhaps this is also a result of the intense update schedule. I will try to include more information in each chapter. This month's recommendation tickets have not been released yet, so please support with your votes, and I will continue the intense updates! Thank you!
