Chapter 324: The Dog Lord's Fury, a Claw Shattering the Temple, Sparing My Daughter's Need to Beg

Chapter 324: The Dog Lord's Fury, a Claw Shattering the Temple, Sparing My Daughter's Need to Beg

Snowflakes danced in the air, blanketing the world in a serene, glass-like stillness. The night glowed with a pale, orange-yellow hue, as if the snow-covered landscape had been coated in flour and fried in oil.

The restaurant owner held a cigarette, its glowing tip a steady flame, the smoke rising straight up like incense, trembling slightly, and shedding soft ash.

The owner's heart, however, was not as calm as his exterior suggested. He sensed a familiar aura emanating from Li Che, causing his expression to turn complex.

The big black dog, usually lively, had its tail wagging non-stop. But now, it suddenly stopped, as if drained of energy, and its once-swinging tail drooped. Its dark eyes, like black dates, fixed on Li Che, while its nose twitched, clearly sniffing out a familiar scent.

It was indeed the scent of a woman, emerging from the darkness.

She was like a black lotus blooming in the endless night, its petals ablaze, a warning to all who dared approach.

Sadly, it wasn't her.

The dog, human-like, sighed and lay back down, bored, on the restaurant floor, illuminated by the orange-yellow street lamp, reminiscent of a late-night park.

Li Che, clad in a black robe, stood amidst the fluttering snow, his jet-black hair dancing wildly in the wind.

Emerging from the depths of Thunder Listening Lane, he walked step by step into the light.

He had just triggered the embryonic divine technique, Dream Butterfly, and through it, he saw a vision of Xi Xi, possibly from another time or the future, grown up and known as Da Xi Xi.

Even through this dream-like vision, Li Che could clearly sense the blood connection between them.

He was certain that the Xi Xi who had grown up, cold and ruthless, slaughtering an entire Buddhist sect, was his daughter.

Even in the future, she would still be his daughter, an unbreakable bloodline connection.

Li Che's heart filled with compassion.

He didn't need to know what had happened to Xi Xi; he knew it was connected to him. He hadn't fulfilled his duties as a father, failing to protect her and allowing her to experience hardships.

Otherwise, why would she have said, "You seek from me, but who do I seek from?"

The despair, sorrow, and hopelessness in those words shook Li Che's heart, as if an invisible force were squeezing his heart.

"Are you here?" The owner sat in his chair, his indifferent gaze tinged with melancholy. He extinguished his cigarette and exhaled a white cloud of breath into the snowy world.

Then, he took out some cigarette paper, a dry sachet, and using a bamboo clip, he extracted tobacco, rolled it into a slender cigarette, and offered it to Li Che, who was covered in snow.

The owner seemed to see a lingering image in Li Che's eyes, a vision of a figure creating a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood atop a temple.

"Want one?" The owner asked casually.

Li Che took the cigarette, and with a single gesture, their unspoken understanding was clear.

Li Che sat in a chair at the restaurant's entrance.

As they smoked, the two men, one in black and the other in white, sat in silence, the burning cigarette paper emitting a faint sound in the infinite quiet, like thunder in the stillness.

"This cigarette... She taught me how to roll it," the owner said, gazing at the falling snowflakes creating a glass-like world.

Li Che glanced at him, "Her?"

"An old acquaintance," the owner replied nonchalantly.

Li Che instinctively felt that this acquaintance might be Da Xi Xi, as he had seen her in the owner's dream.

But Li Che didn't reveal this insight.

Li Che stood up, his black robe with golden lotus embroidery fluttering in the snowy night.

"Boss, may I borrow Dog Lord for a moment?" Li Che asked, extinguishing the last bit of his cigarette and exhaling two streams of smoke.

The owner's eyebrows rose, and his handsome face revealed a hint of strangeness.

Surprisingly, Li Che, who had come to eat, didn't seem interested in food. Instead, he wanted to pack a meal for Xi Xi, who had just broken through her Divine Form Realm and experienced a shocking event.

Although Xi Xi had slept through the entire ordeal, she must have been startled. After such an experience, it wouldn't hurt to enjoy some delicious food, would it?

The big black dog lay dejectedly at the restaurant's entrance, its glossy black fur reflecting the dim orange light.

"Xi Xi just broke through her Divine Form Realm and was targeted by a scheme," Li Che explained.

"Although it wasn't specifically aimed at her, she was still affected."

"So..."

"I want to borrow Dog Lord to deal with the person who plotted against Xi Xi."

Within the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's mountain gate, the Seven Treasures Dharmaraja Pagoda had mysteriously manifested seven Buddha figures, as if enraged.

They...

Dared to show anger?

Using Xi Xi as a pawn in their scheme, her well-being was treated as insignificant.

This filled Li Che with murderous intent and rage.

He harbored strong aversion and resistance towards the Buddhist sect.

"Plotting against Xi Xi..."

The owner's handsome face, rarely showing emotion, narrowed his eyes.

He seemed to know everything.

Holding the cigarette between his lips, he turned to the big black dog, which had perked up and raised its head.

"What do you say?"

"Woof!" the big black dog barked.

Li Che looked at the owner.

In truth, Li Che felt a sense of strangeness and doubt. Why couldn't this powerful dog, rumored to rival legendary demon kings, speak human language?

These demon kings, born from the influence of the Temple God's divine nature, possessed intelligence and the ability to speak.

So, Li Che wondered, why couldn't the big black dog do the same?

Or perhaps, it could, but chose not to?

Facing Li Che's questioning gaze, the owner tapped off the cigarette ash and exhaled.

"Deal."

...

...

Tai Bai Peak.

Gradually, it became quiet.

Xi Xi successfully broke through her Divine Form, but consolidating her realm was still a rather daunting task.

Lu Tai Bai, for once, was stern with Xi Xi, wanting her to grasp the Divine Form's feedback and allow her physical body to undergo transformation and enhancement.

This opportunity was too precious.

After experiencing the events in the Hell Lotus Mini World, even a powerful figure like Lu Tai Bai felt a slight heaviness in his heart.

After all, according to the Third Prince, if Xi Xi's physical body wasn't strong enough, when she broke through to the Divine Essence Golden Core or Divine Embryo, the Hell Lotus Dao Essence power would still be triggered...

The power of the Hell Lotus would shatter Xi Xi's physical body, like cutting flesh and carving bones.

The most terrifying part was that the Hell Lotus Dao Essence would leave a mark on Xi Xi's soul.

This was what worried Lu Tai Bai the most.

"Hell Lotus..."

Lu Tai Bai exhaled softly.

He was different from Li Che; as a cultivator of his caliber, he had encountered far more than Li Che.

Li Che's rise was too rapid, and he was unaware of many secrets about cultivation.

However, although Lu Tai Bai had been researching the Hell Lotus, he knew just as little as Li Che.

Many strange temples were related to the "Hell Lotus."

Yet, despite the countless years of research by cultivators, the mysteries of the Hell Lotus remained unsolved, even after numerous strange temples were plundered.

The Grand Supervisor at the Divine Capital's Imperial Astronomy Bureau headquarters had been researching strange temples and seemed to have uncovered some secrets about the Hell Lotus.

Lu Tai Bai's eyes flashed as he thought of his personal disciple and the Young Master of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.

On this trip to the Divine Capital for the Peach Blossom Banquet, Lu Tai Bai might seek out the Grand Supervisor to learn about the mysteries of the Hell Lotus.

Perhaps he could help unravel the Hell Lotus Dao Essence power within Xi Xi, which was like a curse.

Indeed, in Lu Tai Bai's eyes, the Hell Lotus Dao Essence was like a curse.

Once triggered, it would harm Xi Xi.

"And... that strange temple of the Third Prince, plundering it and obtaining the 'Hell Lotus' might be the only way to save Xi Xi."

Lu Tai Bai sat cross-legged beneath the statue of the sect's founder, his silver hair billowing.

In the distance, Xi Xi was also seated on a meditation cushion, her eyes closed, her body constantly twisting.

Lu Tai Bai spoke in a deep voice, "Calm your mind and focus on the feedback from the Divine Form and Divine Nature power. Feel the transformation brought about by the Divine Nature spreading through your physical body. Grasp this feeling and spread it throughout your entire body, tempering every part of your body."

Lu Tai Bai gradually placed more importance on strengthening Xi Xi's physical body.

Xi Xi sat on the meditation cushion, drenched in sweat, as if her body was being constantly burned by black flames.

However, Xi Xi gritted her teeth and didn't give up, persevering with great effort.

Xi Xi also wanted to become stronger.

Only then could she protect her father and mother and earn a peach for her mother at the Peach Blossom Banquet.

Lu Tai Bai felt very gratified seeing Xi Xi's determination.

What a wonderful child.

Among all his personal disciples, she was the most normal, truly filling him with contentment.

Lu Tai Bai immersed himself in deep thought again.

"And that Golden Bodhimanda, the Seven Treasures Dharmaraja Pagoda... It's related to the Buddhist Sect, and I didn't pay much attention to it before. I even thought that the Bodhimanda had been completely plundered, but now it seems I was too young."

"Even this Bodhimanda... could it be a scheme by the Western Regions' Buddhist Lands?"

Lu Tai Bai's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He was indeed a bit worried.

Even the founder's Dao Essence had been stimulated and used.

Could it be related to the Western Regions' Buddhist Lands? Thinking of the Bodhimanda's scheme against the Third Prince's temple deity...

Lu Tai Bai couldn't help but feel solemn and dare not be negligent.

...

...

In the embrace of snow and ice, a world of jade.

Deep into the night, not a star in sight.

Heavenly Origin Dao City.

The entire city was thickly covered in snow, perhaps due to the clash of top-tier powerful cultivators, causing the lead clouds to melt and the altered heavenly phenomena to backlash.

The snow grew heavier, making the entire city appear white and hazy to the naked eye.

On the long street, a chill filled the air.

Pedestrians had disappeared, all hiding in their houses, lighting charcoal stoves to warm themselves, drinking hot beverages, and chatting about the major events that had occurred in the city in recent days.

However, in the midst of this white, snowy world, a figure in a black robe and a bamboo hat walked slowly.

It was Li Che, emerging from the depths of Thunder Listening Lane.

In Li Che's chest, within his robe, the fat black dog had transformed into a small puppy, poking out a cute little head like a newborn puppy, with chestnut-colored eyes like black jujubes, rolling around.

Li Che reached out and patted the puppy's head, and the puppy immediately showed displeasure.

How dare you!

Get your dirty hands off me! But Li Che couldn't resist giving it a few more rubs.

This treatment was supposed to be for Xi Xi, but Li Che had also gained this privilege. The low spirits caused by the scenes he saw through Dream Butterfly were instantly lifted.

Li Che had figured out the embryonic divine technique, Dream Butterfly.

Perhaps, every transformation of the Dharmic Fruit would trigger a Dream Butterfly.

Like a butterfly traveling through time and space, it landed beside the adult Xi Xi, witnessing that scene, and then, like entering a dream, it was fed back into Li Che's dream.

So, if Li Che wanted to see the adult Xi Xi again, he might have to wait until the next transformation of the Dream Heavenly Master Dharmic Fruit.

Currently, the Dream Heavenly Master Dharmic Fruit was at level 3, meaning he would have to reach level 4 to trigger the next Dream Butterfly effect.

Li Che was both excited and curious about what the next Dream Butterfly would show him of the future adult Xi Xi.

Witch...

The Buddhist cultivators in the ancient temples called Xi Xi a witch, expressing both frustration and fear.

Evidently, Xi Xi's massacre wasn't her first.

After passing through Heavenly Origin Dao City, Li Che arrived at the mountain gate of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.

The Heaven Earth inscription hung above the entrance gate.

Li Che, wearing his bamboo hat, looked up at the inscription.

Earlier, the inscription had triggered, as if the founder's power had suppressed the rebellious Seven Treasures Dharmaraja Pagoda...

"The Bodhimanda in Jin Guang Mansion seems to have been destroyed by me... and with Summon Spirit, it's completely annihilated."

Li Che's eyes flashed.

The Divine Summoning power of the Heavenly King Pagoda was completely devoured by the Spirit Bright Golden Ape Divine Form, leaving it utterly clean and empty with a crisp snap.

However, due to the Temple God being only of the Sixth Rank, and with Li Che's current strength, he was able to easily suppress it.

The feedback from the Divine Summoning was also immense, causing the Spirit Bright Golden Ape, who had already reached the Fetal Breath Transformation, to become even more saturated with Divine Nature!

Yet, Li Che was not satisfied.

Previously, Li Che had held some reservations about the Temple Gods in the Strange Temple, except when he wanted to collect the Seven Emotions Divine Foundation, he frequently used the Divine Summoning power.

After that, he rarely used it.

Besides his reservations, he also avoided frequent use of the Divine Summoning to prevent attracting the attention of powerful cultivators.

He might even become a public enemy of the world.

With each use of the Divine Summoning, the Temple Gods from the Strange Temple would be summoned and completely disappear, leaving no trace after the temple's collapse.

Even their Divine Nature would dissipate.

The cultivation method of Divine Nature in this world was closely linked to the Strange Temple's emergence.

Li Che's actions were equivalent to disrupting the world's Divine Nature cultivation.

Naturally, he would not be tolerated by the world.

Although this world had Martial Dao, the consensus was that Divine Nature and Martial Dao coexisted, complementing each other.

The primary reason...

Divine Nature cultivation could prolong life, allowing cultivators' lifespans to far exceed those of Martial Saints!

The lifespan of a Fetal Breath Transformation cultivator with a Divine Essence Golden Core could even surpass that of a Sea of Qi Martial Saint!

Therefore, the path of Divine Nature was a cultivation method supported by all cultivators.

The doggy stuck its head out of Li Che's embrace, as if sensing the powerful strength and will contained within the Heaven and Earth Inscription, but it dismissively turned its head.

Li Che sensed for a moment but detected no unusual movements from the Founder within the Heaven and Earth Inscription.

So, with the doggy, he entered the mountain, passing through the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's mountain gate.

He followed the path up the mountain, covered in deep snow.

As far as the eye could see, the trees and vegetation were blanketed in thick snow, and some branches were even coated in a layer of ice, appearing crystal clear and uniquely beautiful.

"Elder Li!"

Compared to the Dao City, the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's mountain gate had quite a few disciples braving the snow and wind, cultivating within the Strange Temple.

They all showed great respect towards Li Che, not only because he was the Young Sect Master Xi Xi's father, but also because Li Che himself was an Elder of Divine Carving Peak, possessing the power of a Half-Saint Divine Carving.

Many disciples relied on Li Che for the Divine Carvings they needed for their cultivation.

Li Che nodded gently.

However, a moment later, Li Che's aura seemed to completely disappear, merging seamlessly with the surroundings as if becoming one with the heavens and earth.

Sleeping Dragon Elephant!

His aura was completely restrained!

Unless Lu Tai Bai personally used his powerful Divine Soul to investigate, Li Che could move freely within the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's mountain gate without being detected.

The Seven Treasures Dharmaraja Pagoda.

A golden temple stood between the mountains, its brilliance dazzling from afar, perhaps due to the suppression of the Founder's Dao Essence within the Heaven and Earth Inscription.

The entire pagoda's radiance became dim and obscure.

Li Che stood hundreds of feet away, gazing at the golden temple, looking minuscule like an ant.

The aura of this Heavenly King Pagoda was far more powerful than the one in Jin Guang Mansion.

However, it was understandable, as this pagoda was a Strange Temple of the Upper Five Elders.

Li Che primarily sought stability, and compared to the Upper Five Elders' Strange Temple, he felt like the Two-Heart Great Sage's Strange Temple, with its Guardian Deity Corpse King, possessed an Apex-level combat power.

Therefore, Li Che sought stability and called upon Dog Lord for assistance.

Li Che aimed for a swift and decisive resolution, avoiding significant disturbances...

He intended to suppress this Seven Treasures Dharmaraja Pagoda and complete the Divine Summoning!

Li Che estimated that by completing the Divine Summoning of this pagoda, he could feed the Spirit Bright Golden Ape enough to transform it into a Divine Embryo!

In front of the Strange Temple, the wind howled.

The dazzling golden light flickered, and the Buddhist light flickered uncertainly.

Li Che pushed down his bamboo hat and walked forward, leaving no footprints in the snow.

There was no one guarding the Strange Temple.

The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect took a hands-off approach to the Strange Temple within its mountain gate, as it was suppressed by the Dao Essence Inscription.

Any unusual movements from the Strange Temple would trigger the Dao Essence within the inscription, which would then go to suppress it.

Li Che raised his hand and rubbed the doggy's head.

"Swift and decisive."

The doggy punched with its nose and whined.

It seemed to be saying that Dog Lord should hurry.

Li Che smiled.

He took a step forward and walked towards the golden temple.

The temple's doors were not closed, always left open.

Inside, Li Che saw several disciples sitting in meditation, observing the Temple Gods and attempting to create Divine Forms.

However, Li Che's arrival did not attract their attention.

With his Sleeping Dragon Elephant technique, Li Che's actions were beyond their perception.

Li Che looked at the Seven Treasures Dharmaraja Pagoda placed on the altar.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Raising his hand, he touched his forehead.

Divine Technique—

Star Gazing Eye!

In an instant, his flesh parted to the sides, and brilliant golden light burst forth from his vertical pupils, illuminating the golden temple.

The entire Strange Temple's Divine Nature seemed to undergo a subtle fluctuation.

The next moment, Li Che saw the dazzling Divine Tower nodes.

"Divine Tower?"

"It's just an Enigmatic Tower pretending to be submissive, but it's all a deception."

When the Seven Treasures Dharmaraja Pagoda resisted the suppression of the Founder's Dao Essence, it indicated that this Strange Temple had not been truly subdued, and the Divine Tower was just an Enigmatic Tower.

These Temple Gods...

Had actually been plotting.

By shrinking the Enigmatic Tower and transforming it into a Divine Tower...

They could deceive the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect and relax its vigilance...

"Could this Strange Temple have other schemes?"

Li Che furrowed his brows.

He was genuinely afraid of being outmaneuvered.

Although the Third Prince was the target of the scheme, it had already begun when Xi Xi obtained the Purple Flame Spear.

This made Li Che very displeased.

Xi Xi was now the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, and Li Che also liked this sect, not only for its atmosphere but also because it had sheltered his family's growth.

No matter what schemes this strange temple has…

Today, I've summoned you!

Boom!

Li Che's body trembled, and crackling arcs of electricity surged, transforming into the Celestial Armor and directly piercing into the Divine Tower.

Hidden in Li Che's embrace, a puppy poked its head out, narrowing its eyes slightly.

This strange temple...

Had calculated against Dog Lord's Xi Xi?

Li Che grumbled, describing Xi Xi's encounter to Dog Lord, which made him tremble with anger.

Xi Xi is still so young and adorable...

These ugly Buddhist temple deities are already causing trouble!

I can endure it, but Dog Lord cannot!

...

...

Boom!

Brilliant golden light filled the entire Divine Tower, accompanied by pervasive Buddha light.

No!

It should be called the Enigmatic Tower.

As Li Che transformed into a bolt of lightning and descended, his eyes turned cold and ruthless, and without hesitation, he unleashed his full power!

However, for added insurance...

Li Che spread his five fingers, and a black and white Yin-Yang mask of the King of Hell fell into his hand, which he pressed against his face.

Black and white, Yin-Yang split!

Dragon Elephant Vajra!

King of Hell Ascension!

Dragon Elephant Heavenly Energy!

Celestial Thunder Armor!

Boom!

Divine Seed Mystic Art—Explode!

The moment Li Che stepped into the Divine Tower, he immediately activated his most powerful state!

Behind him, one Divine Seed Mystic Art after another exploded, transforming into a spinning vortex of Qi and blood, with an extremely powerful surge of energy!

It was as if five blood-red suns were rising, emitting dazzling Qi and blood, almost filling the entire heaven and earth!

The blood energy surged like a thousand-foot-high wave, resembling an unstoppable avalanche on a ten-thousand-foot-high snow mountain!

Terrifying Qi spread in all directions.

The void seemed to ripple with countless folds.

Li Che's eyes gleamed with golden light, and faint golden smoke wafted from his pupils.

Thinking of his daughter being threatened by the Hell Lotus Dao Essence...

An infinite surge of violence welled up within Li Che.

And the dream scene seen by Dream Butterfly...

In the dream...

Xi Xi stood atop the ancient temple, uttering the words, "You beg me, but who do I beg?" with despair and loneliness.

Li Che felt a surge of anger.

His toes tapped!

Boom!

A terrifying force instantly erupted from his toes, and spider web-like cracks appeared, shattering the ground within a hundred feet, leaving it in ruins with countless cracks!

Li Che, in his King of Hell form, had already pulled out an afterimage and rushed towards the Golden Bodhimanda that stood in the Divine Tower.

Dense, enigmatic mist surged forth!

But the mist was torn apart by Li Che, who seemed to have transformed into an extremely sharp Divine Blade, splitting heaven and earth in two!

The temple's doors were tightly shut, but Li Che slammed into them with force!

The entire temple shook.

Then, the doors exploded, and Li Che landed in the center of the Golden Bodhimanda.

The temple was enormous, even larger than the Golden Temple in Jin Guang Mansion.

And the Golden Bodhimanda, holding a seven-treasure pagoda, was bathed in golden light, standing in the center, taller, larger, and more terrifying!

Not only that.

Beside the Golden Bodhimanda, there were even more golden divine generals roaring out, their bodies cast in gold.

The auras of these divine generals were all extremely powerful, surpassing the solitary Golden Bodhimanda in Jin Guang Mansion...

The Golden Temple of Heavenly Origin Divine Sect indeed had a higher rank and was more dangerous!

These divine generals were all Guardian Deity Corpses, and on their golden bodies, incantation seals spun rapidly!

They all unleashed Martial Saint-level auras!

Powerful—

Extremely powerful!

Perhaps Li Che's violent aura stimulated the Deity, and the Golden Bodhimanda suddenly opened its eyes, emitting dazzling golden Buddha light. The light dispersed, transforming into countless arrow-like rays that shot towards Li Che.

"You insignificant mortal!"

"How dare you be so bold!"

Li Che, in his King of Hell form, wore the Celestial Thunder Armor, and his back adorned with a Qi and blood-colored cape. He felt the Golden Bodhimanda suddenly throw out the seven-treasure pagoda.

Seven treasures floated out, and the Buddha light illuminated them with reality.

It was as if seven True Buddhas had emerged, though their Buddha light dimmed due to the Founder's suppression.

But the seven Buddhas still released terrifying auras!

Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly.

However, beneath the King of Hell mask, his expression remained calm.

"Dog Lord."

After speaking, Li Che patted the adorable puppy in his embrace, its cute and tiny paws poking out from his collar.

Boom!

In that instant, Li Che seemed to see the scene from his dream.

The ground cracked, and countless lava boiled, erupting into scorching flames, like blood surging through veins at high speed!

Then, the land filled with lava rivers rose into the sky, reaching the heavens, bringing an extremely terrifying and scorching energy wave, as if heralding the end of the world and endless destruction!

A terrifyingly massive creature lay sprawled, slowly rising and extending a claw.

One claw.

It struck down.

...

...

The entire temple was completely twisted and shattered, as if blasted by a terrifying force.

Sizzling smoke billowed, rising endlessly.

The Golden Bodhimanda and the seven-treasure pagoda melted into a pool of golden liquid, and the seven treasures shattered, leaving behind shattered remnants.

It was a scene of devastation by a terrifying force.

In the scene...

Li Che activated his Ascension State, and his black hair, hanging at his waist, fluttered in the wind.

Step by step, he trampled on the remnants of the temple and the Deity, slowly pacing.

At this moment, Li Che had only one thought...

Hehe, we are truly strong.

Whoosh—

The Enigmatic Tower stirred with dense, enigmatic mist, surging forth and covering the sky, as if the Golden Bodhimanda had been shattered, breaking some kind of restriction.

Perhaps, it was this restriction that had created the so-called Divine Tower.

In reality, there was no Divine Tower, only the Enigmatic Tower.

Li Che stood in the center of the ruins.

Beneath the mask, his eyes were complex and shocked, and in his embrace, the puppy seemed to have completely restrained its aura, not daring to reveal a hint of it, shrinking into a ball as "Dog Invincible."

Indeed...

It was still not powerful enough.

As long as Li Che himself became powerful enough...

His daughter...

Would not need to beg for help!
