Chapter 332: Binding Spirit, Old Yue in the Depths of the Netherworld, Hunter King Assassin, You've Got a Big Problem【Seeking Monthly Votes】 (Part 1)
Boom!
Ink City trembled, and countless raindrops falling from the sky were instantly shattered by the expanding ripples, exploding into endless water droplets.
The mist enveloped the heavens and earth!
In that moment, the world seemed to lose its color, shrouded by the ink rain and fog, leaving only black and white.
But within the dim light, a dazzling golden light burst forth, gradually dissipating and disintegrating into countless fine particles, and finally, amidst the rampage of a terrifying energy wave, it shattered and scattered within Ink City, as if the entire ink-colored city was engulfed in a golden storm.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The remnants of the mask completely slid off.
Revealing Li Che's gentle face, but in his eyes, there was little emotion, like an indifferent deity, high above the nine heavens, descending upon the mortal realm.
His jet-black, robust hair whipped around like divine whips, shattering the air into fragments.
Yue Huanglong's powerful Fourth Opening Saint Warrior's flesh and blood, when faced with the mighty Dragon-Elephant Convergence Furnace, a profound Dao Invocation technique, could not withstand the force.
However, the main reason was that after Yue Huanglong's blood and essence, containing his divine nature, were melted and evaporated by the Dragon-Elephant Convergence Furnace, his cultivation plummeted, dropping to a level close to the Second Opening Absolute Apex.
Naturally, he couldn't withstand Li Che's unleashed power, as he detonated the terrifying strength of the six Celestial Seeds of the Eight Trigrams!
The sixth Celestial Seed, opened by a Divine Transformation True Martial-level martial art, broke the shackles, causing Li Che's power to surge.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The wind howled, and as the raging currents were pushed aside, they reached the limit and began to flow back, surging and raging like a tidal wave.
Li Che slowly retracted his fist and stood tall. He gazed at the constantly surging and disintegrating flesh and blood, bathed in golden light.
In the heavens and earth, Yue Huanglong's powerful Heaven and Earth Soul was fluctuating, but it was only the Heaven and Earth Soul...
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Countless Heaven and Earth Souls intertwined, forming Yue Huanglong's plump and amiable figure.
He hovered in the sky above Ink City, no longer using the power of the Heaven and Earth Soul to resist Li Che...
He just looked at Li Che with a complex expression.
"I never expected... I really didn't expect..."
"You're the Devil Ox, and you're the King of Hell... How could it be you?"
Yue Huanglong stood with his hands behind his back, his body radiating a bloody light.
However, Ink City was isolated from the outside world, slowly eroding Yue Huanglong's Heaven and Earth Soul, and he knew that his existence in this world wouldn't last long.
Yue Huanglong was truly shocked, shocked again and again...
His mind was buzzing throughout the entire fight.
Indeed, the Devil Ox was cunning, even more so than the old fox of Primordial Dao City.
In the midst of battle, he employed numerous tactics to affect Yue Huanglong's mentality.
Resurrecting Yan Jing from death and revealing that the Devil Ox was also the King of Hell...
His state of mind was thrown into turmoil, and his condition deteriorated.
Moreover, the constantly shattering Devil Ox mask further manipulated his mentality, making him eager to see the true face beneath the mask, causing Yue Huanglong to abandon his usual delaying tactics.
Indeed... it was a delaying tactic!
To deal with such a monster that had detonated Celestial Seeds of the Eight Trigrams to obtain martial power beyond their rank, one must use delaying tactics.
By delaying, the power of the detonated Celestial Seeds would gradually diminish.
Then, it would be time for his counterattack.
Unfortunately, Yue Huanglong, after being subjected to Li Che's three consecutive mental shocks and impacts, became momentarily disoriented and chose to confront Li Che, who had detonated six Celestial Seeds, head-on.
"Also... what was that final move you used?"
Yue Huanglong looked at Li Che, pleading in his eyes.
He wanted to know... what was that great furnace? He had never seen it before.
It was incredibly powerful, beyond imagination, and it wasn't just a physical suppression but a positional advantage!
It was a martial art even higher than the Celestial Seeds and Divine Transformation True Martial!
"Dao Invocation."
Li Che's body was robust and muscular, his black hair wildly curled, as if golden smoke wove through his eyes, and he replied indifferently to Yue Huanglong, who was already dead, granting him a satisfying and complete death.
He hoped that when he was bound later, he would be sensible.
Li Che rarely showed such gentleness to his enemies.
This was the first time.
Yue Huanglong's Heaven and Earth Soul was stunned.
"Dao Invocation..."
What was Dao Invocation?
Yue Huanglong... knew nothing about it.
He looked at Li Che, and his eyes flickered slightly: "Your body... has an extraordinary inheritance, an ancient inheritance?"
Yue Huanglong suddenly asked.
However, this time, Li Che did not respond.
Yue Huanglong was stunned, then shook his head and burst into laughter: "It's this dead man who is being presumptuous..."
He stopped looking at Li Che and turned to gaze at the ink-shrouded sky above Ink City.
There were no stars, only pitch darkness, and no starlight could be seen.
Only the thick, black ink.
A suffocating darkness where one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.
Yue Huanglong stared for a long time before finally sighing.
"What a pity... I, Yue Huanglong, left my hometown and came to Primordial Dao City three hundred years ago for the Dajing Dynasty."
"For three hundred years, I've endured tremendous pressure, diligently confronting the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, curbing the sect's development, and exerting my utmost effort, wracking my brains..."
"Lu Tai Bai... you're the Tai Bai Killing Star, a Double Peak Absolute Apex, and I, Old Yue... have done many bad things for Primordial Dao City these three hundred years, fearing that Lu Tai Bai would lose his patience."
"But I... did it all for the dynasty.
Yue Huanglong sighed softly.
He had just broken through the Fourth Opening Saint Warrior realm and was dispatched to the Primordial Dao City, leaving the Divine Capital and the Yue family, effectively removing himself from the center of power and losing all hope of inheriting the position of the family head.
But he didn't regret it much.
"This Primordial Dao City... Old Yue is no longer here."
"Lu Tai Bai, without Old Yue to confront you, you can finally relax..."
"Fang Hanshu, what are you hiding? It's a pity that Old Yue couldn't see it even in his death."
"Hong Shi Fo... You old turtle, no one will play chess with you anymore. You lousy chess player, I've been wanting to tell you off for a long time!"
"It seems... after three hundred years in Lingnan, the only ones worthy of Old Yue's attention are you people..."
Yue Huanglong stood in the void, gazing into the distance, seeing no light, but he kept muttering.
The radiance on his body continued to scatter, and the essence of heaven and earth gradually overflowed.
In the end...
It turned into a sigh in the heavens and earth.
"I came to watch the excitement and ended up getting killed."
"I died so... pathetically."
Yue Huanglong's words were filled with immense frustration.
However, there was nothing more to say.
Just as Li Che had said...
When Yue Huanglong followed the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship out of the Heaven and Earth Great River region and stepped onto the Grand Canal...
Deep in his heart, he was no longer just a bystander.
The sigh merged with the wind, becoming one with it.
Finally...
It dissipated, turning into countless golden lights that scattered.
The Dragon-Elephant Convergence Furnace, under the simultaneous explosion of the Six Mystic Seeds, even Yue Huanglong's Divine Embryo was directly extinguished in a single punch!
Only this unique will, the essence of heaven and earth, remained.
However, it merely lingered, slowly being devoured and erased by Ink City.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
As the fierce wind blew, Yue Huanglong's essence of heaven and earth completely dissipated, and only then did Li Che's eyes show a reaction.
Although Yue Huanglong had muttered a lot, Li Che didn't pay much attention.
He didn't mind; everyone would reminisce and feel sentimental before death.
Perhaps Yue Huanglong was indeed a qualified Dao Master of Primordial Dao City, as he had hindered the development of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect for a long time, including their Divine Sculpture Business...
Although there were reasons for the decline of the Divine Sculpture Peak, Yue Huanglong secretly intervened, suppressing the industry's growth, which was a significant root cause.
Yue Huanglong might have been a good Dao Master in the eyes of the court, but he wasn't a good person...
If he were, he wouldn't have joined forces with the powerful members of the large and small families within Primordial Dao City to slaughter the Su family, young and old, when Su Leibao led the Su family's migration.
Therefore, Yue Huanglong was certainly not a good person.
For Li Che, none of this mattered.
Yue Huanglong's purpose in following him was not simple. After he informed the Dragon Deity Clan about the Venerable Dragon King, he kept an eye on Xi Xi and Li Che, intending to cut off the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's rise.
Yue Huanglong had already put himself in a position to be killed, and Li Che had a reason to do so.
"He's dead..."
Li Che spread his hands, looking at his own body, covered in cracks.
Unknowingly, he had become much stronger.
Although he borrowed the power of the exploding divine seeds, it was still a cause for celebration.
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dharmic Fruit and the Dragon-Elephant Convergence Furnace had tempered Li Che's Pure Martial body, making his physical body extremely powerful. In terms of physical strength alone, it could rival a Fourth Opening Saint Warrior.
However, even with such a body, the pressure from the explosion of six Mystic Seeds was still immense...
He almost couldn't bear it.
No wonder, according to the records, the simultaneous explosion of eight Mystic Seeds... was almost mythical.
"A Fourth Opening Saint Warrior, a First-rate Absolute Apex... I wonder if I can successfully Bind Spirit? And I wonder... if Old Yue will recognize the situation?"
On Li Che's body, blue veins pulsated like flames, raging and intertwining.
He didn't release the power of the six exploding Mystic Seeds; this power... couldn't be dispelled instantly and required waiting for it to gradually subside.
However, Li Che wasn't concerned. His current physical body could already withstand it.
In fact, the most dangerous part of exploding the Mystic Seeds was the sudden surge of power during the explosion, which could be too much for the physical body to handle and might lead to collapse.
But once the body endured the seeds' explosion, maintaining it afterward wasn't too difficult.
Feeling the explosive power within him, Li Che slowly exhaled.
Far away, Yan Jing, who had been repeatedly shattered by the aftermath, was already numb. When Li Che's gaze swept over, Yan Jing shuddered and immediately punched his fist.
"This subordinate, Yan Jing, greets the lord!"
His voice was high-pitched, full of vigor, and genuinely heartfelt!
One couldn't help but be genuinely convinced!
Even an old fox like Yue Huanglong had met his end, killed right before their eyes. If Yan Jing didn't submit, would he be thrown to the wolves?
When Yan Jing became a Bound Spirit, he had already received a lot of information, including his situation, strength improvement, identity, responsibilities, and more...
Li Che had pre-programmed the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit so that when the Binding Spirit was successful, these pieces of information would be directly sent to the Bound Spirits. This not only increased the likelihood of the Bound Spirits' submission but also saved them a lot of time in adapting.
Li Che's body was tall and robust, surrounded by countless golden blood chi, like golden smoke bands, swirling around him, god-like and devilish. His formidable aura, coupled with the terrifying pressure unique to the Bound Spirit Lord, made Yan Jing's Bound Spirit tremble slightly.
However, Li Che didn't throw Yan Jing, who recognized the situation, to the other Bound Spirits to be devoured and turned into their strength.
After all, Yan Jing himself was a Sea of Vital Energy Saint Warrior, just a step away from ascending the mountain path. If given the opportunity, finding an uncooperative Bound Spirit would make him a formidable ally.
Li Che, with his newfound ability to bind spirits, now commands a formidable force of five Martial Saints: Su Leibao, Su Daoling, Huang Jianjiu, You Liqing, and Dragon Queen Consort. Together with Yan Jing, they make up a group of six.
This lineup is already formidable, rivaling some of the lower-ranked Divine Sects. While they may not yet match the might of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, it's primarily due to Lu Tai Bai's strength and the unpredictable power of Fang Han Shu, the Dajing Dynasty's top scholar.
Li Che's spirit-binding ability, however, still falls short of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's. But if the old Yue Huanglong were to submit willingly... the outcome would be hard to predict.
Li Che's gaze shifted to the blood rain that continued to fall. With a powerful grip, he unleashed a mighty force, drawing countless shattered pieces of flesh and blood towards him, including fragments of Yue Huanglong's top-grade Primordial Dao City Divine Jade. Despite the damage inflicted during the battle, the jade remained unbroken.
Yue Huanglong's flesh was torn apart, and his blood rained down, signaling his death as his soul departed. With Yue Huanglong's demise, Li Che decided to attempt spirit-binding.
It must be said that Li Che valued Yue Huanglong highly. After all, Yue Huanglong's cultivation was indeed impressive. If spirit-binding succeeded, it would be like gaining a powerful ally who could reach the realm of the Absolute Apex.
Yue Huanglong's ample fat was a testament to his strength, and as a bound spirit, he could burn his fat without restraint and die valiantly. After his death, the fat would regenerate, and he would be reborn anew!
Li Che's eyes gleamed with golden smoke like sandalwood incense. Yan Jing, with a mix of reverence and awe, watched as Li Che spread his fingers towards Yue Huanglong's scattered corpse.
