Chapter 316: Hell King's Strike in the Netherworld, Shattering Southern Heaven with a Staff (Part 2)
Li Che smiled and let them have their fun.
In fact, Li Che was also looking forward to it.
You Li Qing and Huang Jian Jiu, as his two fierce subordinates, after consuming the Bound Deity of Huang Tuo, should be able to break through to the Sea of Qi Martial Saint realm, right? Su Dao Ling might be lacking, after all, he hadn't consumed a Bound Deity of the Sea of Qi Martial Saint level before, but it shouldn't be a big problem.
For a creative talent like Su Dao Ling, it didn't matter if his cultivation was weaker; his main role wasn't in fighting but in research and development.
As Huang Tuo's miserable cries echoed through the heavens and earth, it seemed as if his flesh and blood were being devoured, sending chills down one's spine.
The devouring didn't last long; Su Thunderbolt consumed the majority, followed by You Li Qing and Huang Jian Jiu, who also devoured a significant portion. The other Bound Deity figures only got a small share.
The auras of the various Bound Deity figures fluctuated.
Li Che looked at Su Thunderbolt.
Understanding, Su Thunderbolt hurried over, clutching the Golden Dragon Slasher.
A glimmer of thought flashed in Li Che's eyes as he considered the feasibility of the second round.
With a thought, he looked through the Heaven and Earth Chessboard and saw the situation outside.
Lu Tai Bai, wearing the Hunter King Killer mask, continued to battle with two figures in midair. One was the past self of Yellow Eyebrow, and the other was Ji Mali's Heavenly King Incarnation, which had joined the battlefield using his offspring as a vessel.
What surprised Li Che was that the past self of Yellow Eyebrow and Ji Mali's Heavenly King Incarnation were so powerful that they could even hold their own against Lu Tai Bai without being at a disadvantage.
Could an incarnation and an offspring vessel be this powerful? One was a past self, and the other was a bloodline incarnation using offspring as a vessel.
Lu Tai Bai had told Li Che not to underestimate the fighting power of these incarnations, as they might not be as strong as the main body, but the strength they could unleash was not much different.
"It's possible that the Sect Master is baiting."
After all, these two were just incarnations, not their true bodies. Even if they were killed, they could only cause some harm, not as much as imagined.
So...
The Sect Master's true target might be someone else.
Li Che spread his five fingers and pressed them onto the mask, his heart stirring slightly.
If it were Lu Tai Bai himself, he might have shown some restraint.
But at this moment, with the Hunter King mask on, Lu Tai Bai's identity was not the Great Sage of the Qianyuan Divine Sect but the Hunter King Killer. He wanted to kill!
Although everyone knew that this Hunter King Killer was Lu Tai Bai, knowing was not the same as seeing it with one's own eyes...
At this moment, Lu Tai Bai could only be the Hunter King Killer.
"Is the Sect Master waiting for the Sect Master Yue Huanglong and those with hidden sinister intentions to make a move?"
"It's better to force those hiding in the darkness to expose themselves, making it easier to deal with them..."
Li Che's eyes flashed.
However, Sect Master Yue Huanglong might not take action.
This old man... Li Che had witnessed his cunning, viciousness, slyness, and ruthlessness.
The clash in the sky continued for a long time.
The past self of Yellow Eyebrow and Ji Mali's Heavenly King Incarnation understood something and didn't wait for Yue Huanglong to make a move.
They also understood Yue Huanglong's choice.
Anger filled their hearts.
Neither wanted to continue fighting, fearing that the past self and incarnation would be defeated here.
Within Ink City, Li Che looked at Su Thunderbolt and clenched his fist, unfurling the scroll.
The entire scroll rolled up Su Thunderbolt, and when it was spread open again, Su Thunderbolt had transformed into Huang Tuo's appearance.
Su Thunderbolt instantly understood what he should do.
He tugged at his monk's robe and red kasaya, looking slightly disheveled.
Then, with palms pressed together, he smiled kindly.
"Amitabha..."
"Master, I'm going."
Li Che smiled and nodded slightly.
Then, he removed the Qitian Mask from his face, revealing his honest and simple true appearance.
His five fingers clenched.
Five chess pieces of the Temple Deity from the Strange Temple of Erxin Great Sage appeared, suspended in mid-air around him, enveloped in Buddha light.
There were a total of ten Temple Deity chess pieces belonging to Erxin Great Sage.
He could still support the use of Hell King's Ascending Stance twice.
Li Che's gaze was deep and mysterious...
Even with the activation of Hell King's Ascending Stance and possessing unparalleled combat power...
But participating in such a high-level battle... was still extremely dangerous.
However...
If it were the previous Hell King, there might be a need for some restraint.
Now, after successfully breaking through to Martial Saint...
Li Che's confidence had grown significantly.
"The Sect Master wants to see if the Hell King of the Netherworld is qualified to cooperate with him?"
"Since that's the case, let's take a look..."
Li Che chuckled lightly.
He brought his two fingers together, tearing through the air.
A black and white mask, resembling the celestial wheel, emerged from the Heaven-Earth space and was placed over his face.
His aura changed instantly.
He opened his eyes once more.
The depths of his gaze seemed to reveal the Netherworld and the heavens.
...
...
Bright Origin Dao City.
The howling winds and raging air currents!
At the top of the clouds, the elite confrontation was truly awe-inspiring, with only a few silhouettes visible, and no one knew the state of the battle.
Fang Hanzhu's scholar robe fluttered in the wind as he looked up, his magnificent beard whipped by the gale. He watched the battle high in the sky and instantly understood...
The Sect Master was fishing.
The target... should be either Dao Master Yue Huanglong or someone else hiding, waiting to make a move.
However, the Sect Master didn't bring him along!
Fang Hanzhu's eyebrows furrowed slightly...
With Fang Hanzhu's understanding of Lu Tai Bai, wearing that mask today... would definitely make someone pay a price.
But the Sect Master didn't invite him...
Did the Sect Master find someone else outside?
Fang Hanzhu didn't act rashly; he protected Li Che, who was behind him, and his gaze turned towards the direction of the Dao Master's residence.
There wasn't a sound.
He couldn't help but shake his head, "This old fox is not easily provoked..."
Perhaps he had sensed something...
Fang Hanzhu stroked his beard.
He chuckled lightly.
Behind him, a sense of righteousness seemed to tremble like a flowing stream.
He wanted to see...
Who did the Sect Master find without him?
...
...
Dao Master's Residence.
The snowflakes were crystal clear, like blooming flowers, each one meticulously carved by the heavens.
The swirling snowflakes fell on the black tiles.
They landed on the round, protruding belly of Dao Master Yue Huanglong, who was standing with his hands behind his back.
"Father, aren't we going to make a move?"
"To deal with Lu Tai Bai... unless the three lives of the Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage gather, or the four Heavenly King Avatars of the Pacifying King Ji Mali appear, at least three of them would be needed to deal with Lu Tai Bai."
"Now, with the first life of the Great Mage and one Heavenly King Avatar of the Pacifying King, it's unlikely to succeed..."
"But Father, if you make a move, you might be able to change the situation..."
In the Leisure Pavilion, a charcoal stove radiated heat, boiling water. Tea leaves were thrown into the boiling water, rolling thunder!
Young Dao Master Yue Weizheng stood respectfully in the Leisure Pavilion, speaking in a deep voice.
Dao Master Yue Weizheng stood with his hands behind his back, and in his palm, he held a mask that resembled a flowing starry river.
If Li Che were here, he would be very surprised to recognize this mask...
It was the Hunter King Killer Mask of the Hunter Sect!
Yue Weizheng's amiable face showed a hint of hesitation.
Looking at the ten-thousand-foot-high battle, where the leaden clouds were plowed with deep grooves, and terrifying pressure and aura clashed...
"Something's not right..."
Yue Huanglong narrowed his eyes, and his chubby face trembled.
His plump fingers, holding the starry river mask, gently caressed it, and the cool sensation of the mask was transmitted through his fingertips to his entire body.
"Wait, just wait a little longer..."
"Forget it... I won't wait any longer."
Yue Huanglong spoke in a deep voice.
Yue Weizheng was stunned.
"Huh?"
"Father... that's the first life of the Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage and one of the Heavenly King Avatars of Pacifying King Ji Mali?"
Yue Weizheng's body trembled.
"So what? If you don't sell decisively, you'll only harm yourself... The situation is very strange. The past life of the Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage has been exposed too much."
"I don't believe that Lu Tai Bai would dare to act without a backup plan."
"But... but Fang Hanzhu isn't wearing a mask."
Yue Huanglong narrowed his eyes, as if responding to Yue Weizheng, or perhaps talking to himself.
Yue Weizheng was a little confused...
Huh? What does this have to do with Fang Hanzhu? Although Fang Hanzhu is the Inner Elder of the Qianyuan Divine Sect... could it be that he's hiding his strength and can intervene in such a high-level battle?
"Who did Lu Tai Bai find as an ally?"
"The Netherworld..."
Yue Huanglong's face trembled with fat.
Could it be...
"The Hell King of the Netherworld?!"
...
...
Time passed by, moment by moment.
Boom!
The leaden clouds instantly dispersed, as if a mushroom cloud had exploded in the sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun! On the other side, countless dragon shadows intertwined, transforming into terrifying fist techniques, sword techniques, knife techniques, spear techniques, and axe techniques, finally merging into a spear, a parasol spear that suddenly opened and closed in mid-air, with countless spear shadows resembling a peacock's tail, as if a million spear rays were roaring in the sky! The terrifying explosion was like countless thunderbolts, rumbling above the leaden clouds.
The originally deep night sky instantly turned into daylight.
The snow piled up in the leaden clouds seemed to melt under the scorching and terrifying heat, like the water of the Milky Way pouring down upon the earth!
Whoosh whoosh—
The heavy rain poured down, smashing into the ground and shattering into pieces, followed by a flurry of water droplets!
In the Dao City...
Numerous martial artists and cultivators from various large and small clans were drenched by the rain.
Amidst the frenzy and anticipation, they could only look up, feeling the torrential rain pounding down on them and the oppressive pressure of the impact waves formed by the bursting clouds. Suddenly, a voice cried out in surprise.
In the Dao City, a fierce wind howled, stirring up chaos.
Amidst the downpour, a soaked cultivator spotted a dilapidated tower, now reduced to ruins, floating above the collapsed platform. This was the location where the Divine Monkey, Huangtuo, had disappeared with the Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage's past self, Ji Mali, who had transformed into the Heavenly King Avatara, unable to pinpoint the Divine Monkey's position.
The Ink City reappeared, ancient and resembling a water-ink painting with its mottled bricks and stones, ink-colored gates, walls, and traditional Chinese architecture with overhanging roofs. Suddenly, the city gates swung open.
Everyone's gaze seemed to vanish as a disheveled figure, battered and bruised, shot out from the Ink City.
With a loud thud, the figure crashed to the ground, coughing up blood and staggering through the rain.
Huangtuo, the Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage's past self from Little Ling Yin Temple, was severely injured, clutching his chest as if his heart had been torn out, his face contorted in agony.
"Hell Monkey!"
"Little Ling Yin Temple, I'll never let you off!"
"One day, Little Ling Yin Temple, I'll shatter your Hell!"
Huangtuo broke through the rain, flying towards the sky, rising from the ground.
Suddenly, the leaden clouds in the sky burst open, and a beam of light descended.
A divine wooden sculpture, covered in crackling silver sword energy, hovered beside Huangtuo.
"Great Mage... save me!"
Huangtuo coughed up blood, his face filled with grief and anger.
The Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage's past self, a divine wooden sculpture, glanced at Huangtuo, sensing the trembling Buddha nature within his body. His initial doubts vanished.
"Yue Huanglong, that old fox... betrayed us!"
"Let's go!"
A deep voice emanated from the divine wooden sculpture.
Buddha light enveloped Huangtuo like a thick cloud.
"Lu Tai Bai... Mountain High Water Long, we'll meet again. I look forward to the gathering of the Three Lives Body at the Kunlun Summit, where we'll truly clash."
A faint voice emerged from the Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage's past self.
The next moment, they rushed towards the outskirts of the Dao City.
However, as they were about to ascend, a faint voice came from Huangtuo's mouth.
"Great Mage... you betrayed me... will my disciple survive?"
"What?!"
Buzz!
In an instant, a dazzling golden blade appeared in Huangtuo's hand.
With terrifying force, he unleashed a ferocious slash.
Two Divine Seeds instantly detonated, shattering the human body's shackles. His aura soared, and the blade's radiance blazed like the sun, illuminating the Dao City with dazzling brilliance, reaching dozens of miles.
"How dare you!"
The Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage's past self, a divine wooden sculpture, was enraged. The sculpture's face came alive with divine expression.
"Trivial carving skills!"
Although Su Leibao's strike was the culmination of his lifelong cultivation, in front of the Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage's past self, it was like an ant waving its pincers.
It posed no threat and was laughable.
How dare a mere Sea of Qi Martial Saint...
...wield a blade against his past self?
Where did he find the audacity to draw a blade?
The Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage's past self flicked his finger, and a beam of Buddha light, countless times faster than Su Leibao's blade, struck him.
Huangtuo, transformed into Su Leibao, instantly shattered and exploded into a thick black mist.
However, in the moment Su Leibao was blasted, the Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage's past self sensed an unprecedented, immense threat.
It was...
An extreme death threat!
Where...
Where was it coming from?
The black mist swirled, and the rain poured down.
The Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage's past self hovered in the Buddha light, searching in the sky.
Within a hundred zhang radius, his powerful Heaven and Earth Soul had locked onto something.
But he couldn't pinpoint the source of the death threat.
Suddenly, at the brink of death, the Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage's past self seemed to glimpse another world.
Ruin, deathly silence, annihilation...
"Hell?"
The Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage's past self muttered.
A black-robed figure wearing a mask resembling the Celestial Wheel appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, within ten zhang of him.
In his hand, he held the Willful Iron Divine Pole.
Behind him...
Five Odd Gate Divine Seeds detonated.
Five... five Odd Gate Divine Seeds?
Within the five exploding vortices, one after another, two-hearted Great Sages in cassocks appeared, their eyes kind and benevolent.
The figure in the black and white mask, with its Yin-Yang Dawn and Celestial Wheel design, stared at him with eyes as deep as the starry sky.
Then, he gripped the fully activated Willful Iron Divine Pole.
In the blink of an eye, with just a swing of the pole, the five Odd Gate Divine Seeds and five Temple Guard Chess Pieces detonated.
With just a move, the world seemed to shatter.
The Hell King...
Stepped out of Hell.
One swing!
Shatter!
