Chapter 334: The Dao Fruit's Transformation and the Ink City's Overlord (Part 2)
Chapter 334: The Dao Fruit's Transformation and the Ink City's Overlord (Part 2)
The Dominator Clone, in turn, could transfer any damage it endured to the ground of Ink City.
Unless the force exceeded the city's limits, causing it to shatter and become unable to withstand a second fatal attack, the Dominator Clone would bear all the damage.
Only when the Dominator Clone shattered would Li Che need to endure the third fatal attack.
In essence, he had three lives, greatly expanding his options.
The Dominator Clone perfectly replicated Li Che's martial arts and divine energy, but it could not use the abilities of the Dao Fruit unless Li Che bestowed them upon it.
However, this clone could gather the power of the Bind Citizens, just like Li Che, to achieve a burst of strength.
"Invincible..."
Li Che muttered.
"And as the Dao Fruit matures..."
"The number of Dominator Clones can increase."
"You can add up to three more, meaning 30% maturity of the Dao Fruit can create one Dominator Clone!"
Li Che stood at the highest point in Ink City.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"It seems I need to..."
"Find more Bind Citizens for my city."
"The more, the merrier."
...
...
Li Che slowly opened his eyes.
The heavens and earth remained as desolate as ever.
The sound of a boat tearing through the waters of the Grand Canal echoed in his ears, creating a soothing sensation.
"Lord."
"Yes?"
Yue Huanglong, with a wide smile, handed over a Heavenly Jade that he had carefully counted.
"Most of my treasures are kept in the treasury of the Lord's Manor, but among the Heavenly Jade I carry with me, the best item is a Four Virtues Upper Rank Divine Embryo Crystal... It's for completing the Divine Embryo Transformation."
Li Che was slightly taken aback.
His eyes flashed with surprise: "A Four Virtues Upper Rank Divine Embryo Crystal?!"
Indeed, worthy of a Tianyuan Dao Master... a Four Virtues Upper Rank Divine Embryo Crystal, an extremely rare and precious item!
Normally, Divine Embryo Four Divine Transformations would only use Four Virtues Middle Rank Divine Embryo Crystals, as the Upper Rank ones were too valuable!
Aside from the Divine Embryo Crystal, there were also some martial pills, but unfortunately, the highest quality ones were only Four Virtues Lower Rank, like the Four Virtues Lower Rank Hundred Grass Grand Martial Heaven Pill produced by the Guangling Dao Celestial Pill Sect.
The Fourth Imperial Rank Pill, within the Heavenly Pill Sect, can be referred to as the Heavenly Pill, and it is divided into Martial Heavenly Pill and Divine Heavenly Pill.
Each serves the Martial Dao and the Divine Energy Dao, and the Heavenly Pill Sect is very clear about this, with a strong emphasis on specificity and professionalism.
After all, one cannot casually consume pills.
As for the Martial Dao and Divine Energy techniques, as well as precious spiritual wood, divine carvings, and the like, they are generally not available, as Yue Huanglong would not carry such valuable items when going to watch the commotion.
Of course, if Li Che truly needed Martial Dao and Divine Energy techniques, he could directly ask Yue Huanglong.
Li Che unceremoniously accepted the Divine Crystals and Fourth Imperial Rank Martial Pills that had been meticulously counted.
What use did Yue Huanglong, a dead man, have for the Heavenly Pill? Lu Tai Bai might have sensed Yue Huanglong's condition, but he still gave him a Three-Colored Heavenly Pill of the Fourth Imperial Rank.
He was indeed a straightforward person.
"Old Yue, can you open the Heavenly Gate now?"
Li Che suddenly thought of a question.
He remembered that when Yue Huanglong was beaten to death by him, he seemed to burn his fat, opening the Heavenly Gate...
Upon hearing this, Yue Huanglong's amiable smile on his face disappeared.
He looked at Li Che, his expression becoming more solemn.
"Your Highness... I was just about to report to you."
"When we were besieging the Heavenly Pill Sect Master Gu Changqing's Heavenly Pill Vajra Body... I burned my fat, and my heavenly sense soared. Logically, I should have sensed the Heavenly Gate..."
"But I couldn't open the Heavenly Gate, and instead..."
"I sensed a different gateway!"
Yue Huanglong spoke with utmost solemnity.
On the boat, Li Che's eyes also became more serious.
"A different gateway? Not the Heavenly Gate?"
"That gateway is from the Netherworld!"
Li Che suddenly realized this and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Yue Huanglong nodded.
"That gateway is completely different from the Heavenly Gate. It's outlined by flames as black as ink, resembling..."
"The Hell Lotus Fire!"
Li Che's breath suddenly froze.
...
...
Heavenly Origin City.
The Dao Master's Mansion.
The heavy rain poured down, and behind the winter clouds, bolts of lightning flashed and thundered, creating a deafening roar.
In the luxurious garden of the Dao Master's Mansion, there was an octagonal pavilion.
The Young Dao Master Yue Wei Zheng sat there, trembling all over, completely drained of his strength.
His son, Yue Ling, had followed the Yellow Dragon Divine Wood Treasure Ship to the Divine Capital.
However, his father, Yue Huanglong, and the Divine Marshal of the Heavenly Origin City, Yan Jing, had also disguised themselves and boarded the same Yellow Dragon Divine Wood Treasure Ship.
Yue Wei Zheng was aware of this.
But ten days had passed, and according to the speed of the Nine-Layer Yellow Dragon Divine Wood Treasure Ship, it might only be a few more days before they reached the Divine Capital.
However, Yue Huanglong and Yan Jing... had not returned! Yue Wei Zheng wasn't foolish; after such a long time, something must have happened...
He sent spies to investigate and learned that the Nine-Layer Yellow Dragon Divine Wood Treasure Ship had been attacked by the Corpse God Sect and the Hunter King Assassin.
But the Corpse God Sect was repelled, and the Hunter King Assassin was even killed...
This meant that the Treasure Ship continued its journey to the Divine Capital without hindrance.
But...
Where was his father?
His father, who had gone to watch the commotion?
Yue Wei Zheng's body trembled uncontrollably.
He felt as if his entire being had suddenly become incredibly empty.
All along, Yue Huanglong had been like a towering mountain above Yue Wei Zheng, giving him immense pressure, but also serving as his greatest source of confidence and support.
But now...
The mountain... had collapsed.
The heavy rain washed over the black tiles of the octagonal pavilion.
Suddenly, Yue Wei Zheng's gaze turned towards the distant garden, where he saw a scholar in a Confucian robe, holding an oil-paper umbrella, standing quietly and observing him.
"Fang Hanshu?!"
Yue Wei Zheng exclaimed, "You..."
Fang Hanshu stroked his beard, raised his finger, and placed it on his lips.
Then, Yue Wei Zheng saw Fang Hanshu take out a mask from his robe and press it against his face.
Yue Wei Zheng took just one look, and his pupils instantly contracted to the extreme, filled with boundless terror.
His body began to shake violently like a sieve.
Bang!
He knelt on the ground.
"I..."
"I want to live."
...
...
The ship's sails howled in the wind.
The Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship cleaved through the waves, speeding across the river, with dense fog swirling around it, reducing visibility to a minimum.
"Dad!"
"Take this!"
On the deck, Xi Xi held the Hell Lotus, and with a loud shout, the Fire and Wind Golden Light Wheels beneath her feet spun rapidly, emitting countless sparks, creating countless afterimages that surrounded Li Che.
Li Che's black robe fluttered, and a gentle smile hung on his lips.
He stood in the center, waiting for Xi Xi's attack.
In the distance, many children were watching, their faces filled with tension. Zhang Ya held her daughter's fat rabbit doll and watched from afar as Xi Xi fought with her husband.
Additionally, Zhao Fang Zhou, Yan Jing, and others were also observing the battle.
On the top floor of the tower, Lu Taibai's silver hair danced in the wind as he sipped tea and watched. The Hell Lotus, Martial, and Divine, each with their unique attributes.
However, this battle was not particularly suspenseful.
Lu Taibai knew Li Che's identity as the Netherworld Monkey God, indicating that Li Che had already reached the Martial Saint realm in Martial Dao.
How could a little girl like Xi Xi, who was still far from the Grandmaster level, possibly compete with him? Although Xi Xi had already reached the Divine Transformation realm in Divine Energy due to her age, her Martial Dao was hindered by her innate talent.
As expected.
Watching Xi Xi's flashy attacks on the deck, Li Che easily defeated her with a single blow to the forehead.
Xi Xi's grand plan to challenge her father ended in failure.
"Dad! Give me a chance!"
Xi Xi pouted and sat on the deck, not wanting to get up.
This was her twenty-eighth challenge to her father in the past half a month, and each time she lost due to a mental breakdown.
Xi Xi felt a little stifled and disheartened.
Xi Xi hadn't fully matured, and even with her maturity, it seemed like it wouldn't make much difference! In the past half a month, Xi Xi had already become adept at utilizing the power of the Divine Appearance Realm, and she could even manipulate the power of divine weapons.
Unfortunately...
When facing her unfathomable father, Xi Xi felt like her maturity was all for naught.
"This is just to let you experience the taste of defeat in advance... I heard that this time's Peach Blossom Banquet will be extremely challenging, so you won't lose and cry right after."
Li Che smiled and walked over, ruffled Xi Xi's hair, and picked her up.
Xi Xi wrapped her arms around Li Che's neck and proudly raised her head, "Xi Xi the Great will never lose! Xi Xi is going to win the peach for Mother and Father!"
"No one will see Xi Xi crying!"
Xi Xi the Great was going crazy.
"Except for Father and Mother!"
But after thinking about it, she added, "And Father and Mother!"
Li Che burst into laughter, putting Xi Xi down and letting her go play with her little friends. Every time Xi Xi felt discouraged at Li Che's place, she would go to her friends to regain her confidence.
The biggest victim among them was Tie Shanchai.
Tie Shanchai was truly unable to keep up with Xi Xi, who had broken through to the Divine Appearance Realm. He was almost always getting beaten up.
This made Tie Shanchai extremely frustrated, and he swore that once they reached the Divine Capital, he would strive to reach the Divine Appearance Realm and become a Grandmaster, to redeem himself at the Peach Blossom Banquet!
Li Che watched Xi Xi playing with her friends and smiled as he came to his wife Zhang Ya's side.
Zhang Ya returned the little rabbit to Yun E and then linked arms with Li Che, strolling around the deck.
The two walked in silence, slowly pacing.
Zhang Ya thoroughly enjoyed this tranquil moment. She held Li Che's arm, resting her head on it, inhaling his scent, and listening to the distant screams and laughter of Xi Xi playing with her friends. Her heart felt incredibly peaceful.
She wished time would freeze at this moment, capturing this serene and beautiful scene.
Li Che also enjoyed this moment, with his wife and child by his side, his mood became more relaxed.
However, he was also thinking about the threats in the Divine Capital.
Fortunately, Li Che's cultivation had improved significantly, and now he possessed the strength to clash with top-tier experts, giving him more confidence in protecting Xi Xi.
He wouldn't put all his hopes on Lu Tai Bai.
Sometimes, Li Che preferred to keep the primary responsibility of protecting his daughter in his own hands, feeling most at ease this way.
"The Corpse God Sect probably doesn't have many arrangements in the Divine Capital... After all, the Divine Capital is filled with powerful individuals. How could a major rebellious force hide their experts in the political and power center of Grand Vision?"
"But we can't be lax or underestimate them."
"Besides, there are many threats in the Divine Capital. Lu Tai Bai said... that the Grand Master of the Guangling Dao Celestial Pill Sect, whose Heavenly Pill Vajra Body is a target of the Hunter King Assassin, and the one behind this might be the National Master..."
"Why did the Grand Vision National Master Xie Yun Shen take Xi Xi away?"
"And there's also the Su Family... The Su Family's foundation in the Divine Capital is not weak, and they even support the Third Prince. Therefore, the Third Prince might also pose a threat to Xi Xi because the Netherworld ruined the Third Prince's plans, and the Netherworld is connected to Xi Xi..."
Li Che frowned, silently analyzing the threats in the Divine Capital.
It had to be said that although they hadn't entered the Divine Capital yet, the threats within were indeed numerous.
"And... the biggest threat..."
Li Che's eyes flashed slightly as he thought of something.
Suddenly, as he was pondering.
"We've arrived at the Divine Capital region!"
The captain of the Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship shouted with a robust voice.
The shout echoed around them.
The entire Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship seemed to explode with activity.
On the deck, the children ran excitedly, spreading their feet wide and sprinting.
"We've reached the Divine Capital!"
"We've finally arrived at the Capital City of Grand Vision!"
"Finally here! Finally, we can fight!"
...
The excited children ran without stopping.
Suddenly, Xi Xi, who was running on the deck, stopped.
She looked up at the thick fog on the side of the Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship's deck.
Within the fog, a massive black shadow slowly emerged!
That shadow...
Was truly enormous, oppressively so. Xi Xi instinctively looked up, her chubby cheeks trembled, and she blinked, trying to catch a glimpse of the top of the shadow.
Whoosh!
The fog suddenly tore open.
Then, a giant black warship, three times taller than the nine-story Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship, emerged from the river's mist!
It slowly came to a stop beside the Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship.
The contrast between the two ships was like that of a small boat and a giant vessel.
At the bow of the massive black warship.
A towering figure stood, clad in black armor, and a black cape fluttered behind him in the wind.
He crossed his arms over his chest.
Looking down at everyone on the Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship.
Finally...
His gaze shifted slightly.
Landing on Xi Xi, who was looking up, small as an ant.
Li Che, who was walking with Zhang Ya, narrowed his eyes.
In the tower, Hong Shi Fo, who was playing Five Stones Chess with Zhao Fang Zhou, suddenly trembled, and his hand holding the chess piece shook, causing the piece to fall.
In the nine-story tower.
Lu Tai Bai, who was meditating, also focused his gaze.
The next moment, he disappeared from the tower.
He appeared above Xi Xi.
Staring intently at the figure standing at the bow of the black warship.
"Pacifier of Turmoil King—"
"Ji Mo Li!"
The second update is here, and I'm writing at this time again. I remember the chapter I owe from last month, and I'll make it up after adjusting my state. Staying up late is a bit uncomfortable, but I can't finish writing during the day. It's a bit painful, so everyone, if you have monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, please vote to support me and give me some motivation! Thank you!
