Chapter 343: Heaven and Earth Mimicry Divine Embryo's Unstoppable Push, One Day of Victory Over Six
Chapter 343: Heaven and Earth Mimicry Divine Embryo's Unstoppable Push, One Day of Victory Over Six Divine Sects' Heroes (Part 1)
In the sky above the Divine Capital, the leaden clouds seemed to dissipate, revealing a clear and bright sky.
The warm winter sun shone gently, bringing a sense of warmth and comfort, causing the thin layer of snow on the ground to slowly melt.
Li Che once again grasped the peach branch, and within his Niwan Palace, a majestic and immensely oppressive divine energy descended, slowly dissipating like a dense column of smoke.
Holding a tender peach in one hand, he took a bite, and the juice splattered as the rich fragrance of the peach filled the air.
Lu Tai Bai looked at Li Che with a dazed expression, having just entered and returned from the temple.
"Did you...
Did you go or not? How did you come back so soon?"
However, Lu Tai Bai noticed that the divine energy on the peach branch held by Li Che had increased from three strands to four, indicating that Li Che had indeed entered the Queen Mother Xi Wangmu's Mysterious Temple for the banquet.
Moreover, he had defeated the contender prepared by the six divine sects.
"So fast!
It's been such a short time, even with my top-notch reflexes, it still feels too fast."
Could it be that for this preliminary banquet, the six divine sects had prepared a Martial Dao Master to face Li Che? Li Che, who could only use his divine energy cultivation, had just advanced to the Divine Embryo realm. Could he easily crush his opponent?
Even if Huang Mei, the archmage, underestimated him or had a probing mindset, the first hero they sent was only a Half-step Great Master who had his sights set on the Three Flowers. Still, it couldn't have been that quick, could it?
Lu Tai Bai's curiosity grew as he wondered about the situation.
Perhaps Li Che's speed was truly astonishing, as none of the sect leaders and heroes of the other six divine sects had time to react.
They hadn't sent any heroes from their sects to participate.
As a result, Li Che was unable to find a match for a while.
Lu Tai Bai's expression turned peculiar.
He didn't inquire about Li Che's situation, and those who had used his golden peach branch to enter the Divine Palace and observe the banquet hadn't returned yet. No, it seemed that their souls hadn't even had time to settle.
"Sect Leader, please continue."
Li Che smiled, sat under the eaves, and basked in the winter sun that had broken through the leaden clouds. He resumed matching with opponents.
Lu Tai Bai suddenly seemed to understand something and smiled.
His heart completely relaxed.
It seemed...
He had underestimated Li Che, the elder of the sect.
After all, someone who could achieve the Demi-Saint Divine Falcon in a short time and advance from Cultivation Nature to the Divine Embryo realm in just six years couldn't possibly lack foundation and skills. Why would the Netherworld Monkey only be strong in Martial Dao?
Lu Tai Bai's curiosity grew, and he really wanted to see how Li Che had crushed his opponent.
He glanced at Xi Xi, who was accumulating Qi and blood, her face flushed, and her entire body seemed to have transformed into a red heart dragon fruit. Lu Tai Bai's heart stirred, and with a flick of his finger, sword Qi rose and transformed into sword pellets, hovering around Xi Xi and helping to guide her Martial Dao will.
Originally, the breakthrough from Sect Master to Half-step Great Master relied mainly on Xi Xi herself, with Lu Tai Bai only responsible for guidance and insurance. If Xi Xi made a mistake during her breakthrough, he could rescue her in time.
The main reason was that Xi Xi was still too young. Even though she had gone through the stages of opening martial veins, tempering bones, and exchanging blood to lay the foundation for Martial Dao, her physical body, meridians, and constitution might not be able to withstand the surging Qi and divine aura when breaking through to the Half-step Great Master realm.
There was even a risk of her body collapsing, so extra caution was necessary.
However, Xi Xi was different from others, and perhaps only the first Dragon Whelp of the Seven Treasures Divine Sect could compare to Xi Xi in terms of the number of divine armaments within her body.
In reality, there wasn't much of a comparison.
Because the divine armaments within Xi Xi's body were not ordinary; they were genuine mythical weapons and a complete set!
Nourished and guided by the divine energy of these weapons, Xi Xi's physical body was much stronger than that of an ordinary six-year-old child.
Therefore, breaking through to the Half-step Great Master realm wasn't particularly dangerous.
Lu Tai Bai was just being cautious.
He released sword pellets, which hovered around Xi Xi, sensing her condition. If Xi Xi's Qi and blood showed signs of imbalance, the sword pellets would immediately seal her breakthrough process.
Then, Lu Tai Bai glanced at Xi Xi, who was sitting under the eaves, munching on a peach brought back from the preliminary banquet. With a thought, he connected with the golden peach branch and entered the Divine Palace to review the banquet.
Before Lu Tai Bai's eyes, a stream of light appeared.
After watching, Lu Tai Bai couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Because...
It turned out to be so simple.
Li Che entered the Divine Palace Arena, and his opponent was also a Divine Embryo cultivator, just like Xi Xi's opponent, both from the Heavenly Pill Sect. It seemed like the six divine sects had coordinated this.
At the moment the Heavenly Pill Sect's hero faced off against Li Che on the arena, terrifying divine energies erupted from their Niwan Palaces.
And then...
It was over.
The divine energy pouring out from Li Che's Niwan Palace was terrifying and majestic, like a vast river, and with a single sweep, it transformed into a gigantic and terrifying shadow resembling a demon god. This shadow was similar to Li Che himself, towering at ten zhang tall, entirely composed of divine energy, and appeared semi-transparent golden, enveloping Li Che within.
Facing the pressure of the divine energy's rank, the Heavenly Pill Sect's hero couldn't even move, but the gigantic shadow merely slammed down with a fierce punch.
It was like a cataclysmic event, causing the mountains and rivers to turn upside down!
The hero from the Heavenly Pill Sect was instantly crushed!
Simple...
Brutal!
Direct!
There were no fancy divine techniques; it was a straightforward punch to the face!
"Was that... a divine technique?"
"The gigantic shadow resembled a humanoid ape. Could it be a divine technique that summoned the temple deity to aid in battle?"
"Li Che perfectly depicted the Demi-Saint Divine Falcon with three layers of intent in the Odd Temple of the Two-Hearted Great Sage. He could be said to be the person in this world who best understood the state of the Two-Hearted Great Sage's Divine Falcon. So, this temple deity's shadow... is it the Two-Hearted Great Sage's divine form?"
Lu Tai Bai's eyes lit up as he, too, was a Great Deity Divine Embryo and immediately understood the foundational theory behind Li Che's Divine Technique.
"It's somewhat similar to the Vajra Bodhimanda Divine Technique of the Buddhist Sect, but it transforms the Vajra Bodhimanda into the appearance of a temple deity!"
"Additionally, with the strength of the Three Purity Rank's Divine Energy, it imposes a significant restriction on Divine Embryo cultivators of the same realm..."
Lu Tai Bai couldn't help but burst into laughter.
As expected of the honest and straightforward Elder Li, he could defeat you with just one punch, and he wouldn't need a second one!
The six Divine Sects' leaders...
With this bet, their Heavenly Origin Divine Sect might just win!
...
Little Spiritual Sound Mansion.
A serene atmosphere filled the place.
The hero of the Heavenly Pill Sect, also the first on the sect's true transmission list, had just broken through to the Divine Embryo realm. He was Gu Changqing's personal disciple, Liu Qing, and at this moment, he was completely dazed.
He sat on the ground, his face deathly pale, his Divine Energy almost instantly crushed.
The Heaven and Earth Mimicry Divine Technique that directly faced Li Che made him feel like he was confronting an ancient god or demon. It was as if a real temple deity had revived from the underworld, leaving him with a sense of helplessness, feeling the invincibility of facing a deity of the same rank.
Even though they were both at the Divine Embryo realm with one Divine Transformation, Liu Qing's Divine Embryo had even condensed a second Divine Organ.
However, it was useless. He felt an overwhelming pressure, crushing him to the point where he couldn't even catch his breath.
One punch...
Using Divine Energy, he had condensed a Divine Energy shadow, different from the illusory shadow of the Divine Image. This was a true manifestation of Divine Energy, influencing reality, not an illusion but a real existence with physical substance!
"I have lost..."
Liu Qing muttered.
It was just a breath, and he had already lost.
How... could the gap be so vast? Although Li Che was an elder of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, he was only twenty-five this year...
The Hero Assembly's age restriction was between fifteen and fifty years old.
Liu Qing was already forty-eight this year, and breaking through to the Divine Embryo realm at this age was considered young.
But Li Che was even younger!
In six years, he had progressed from Cultivation Nature to the Divine Embryo realm. Liu Qing was extremely apprehensive. When he learned that he was the first to confront Li Che, blocking his path to the banquet, he felt no relief or ease.
He was well aware of the terror of geniuses!
So, he had practically given it his all...
But Liu Qing would rather believe that he hadn't tried his best, so he wouldn't be defeated by Li Che's single punch, losing in just one breath, unable to even make an excuse for underestimating his opponent.
The courtyard was deathly silent.
Gu Changqing, the leader of the Heavenly Pill Sect, stepped out of the Divine Temple spectator stand, his face grim. As powerful as he was, he was at the pinnacle, and even he couldn't help but feel his emotions stir.
The Heavenly Pill Sect's first Dragon Whelp and first true disciple had both been eliminated!
Gu Jiang's battle with Xi Xi was somewhat acceptable, as he was defeated by Xi Xi's cunning and treacherous combat style.
Gu Changqing could accept that, but... Liu Qing, whom he had high hopes for and personally cultivated, investing countless Golden Cores and even Heavenly Pills...
Was defeated by Li Che in a single breath!
Gu Changqing couldn't help but question himself, wondering if all these years of investing in Golden Cores and Heavenly Pills had been for nothing.
However, as the leader of a sect, Gu Changqing quickly composed himself. He had insight and understood that his disciple wasn't incompetent; it was just that this Li Che from the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect...
Was truly too monstrous!
"His Divine Energy is vast, his rank is extremely high, and with this Divine Technique similar to the Buddhist Sect's Vajra Bodhimanda... it's indeed terrifyingly powerful. Even if he has just entered the Divine Embryo realm, his combat strength is by no means to be underestimated."
Gu Changqing comforted his disciple.
In the end, it all came down to one sentence: "The main reason is that our Heavenly Pill Sect disciples are skilled in pill refinement, not combat."
Seated beneath the eaves in a luxurious palanquin, the Archmage Huang Mei's long eyebrows rose.
He glanced at the torn leaden clouds, and the sunlight was dazzling.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "This child... is indeed quite strong."
"After defeating the hero of the Heavenly Pill Sect, he immediately entered the matching state again... It seems he has hardly any exhaustion."
"For the second banquet, fellow cultivators, which sect wishes to step up and test the might of the youngest elder of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect?"
Archmage Huang Mei's voice was low.
Indeed, Lu Tai Bai had the confidence to accept his bet.
The current situation had become somewhat dangerous for the six Divine Sects.
After Li Nuoxi defeated Gu Jiang and consumed the Chi Long Blood Peach, she seemed to be breaking through to the Grand Master realm. Once this young lady completed her breakthrough, condensed her Martial Dao Will, and refined her Divine Aura, her shortcomings would be completely compensated for.
With Mechanism Techniques and the cultivation of a Grand Master, which Divine Sect's Dragon Whelp could restrain her?
Archmage Huang Mei closed his eyes, his heart heavy.
"For the second banquet, let my disciple take the stage."
A clear voice came from one corner of the courtyard.
Archmage Huang Mei opened his eyes, and not only him but also Gu Changqing, Ning Caishen, and the other Divine Sect leaders looked in that direction.
However, Ning Caishen, the leader of the Seven Treasures Divine Sect, frowned.
"Ning Cai?"
Ning Caishen was surprised that the one who spoke was his genius granddaughter, Ning Cai.
"Sect Master, for the second banquet, let me go... This person is truly strong, very strong... I want to give it a try. I've just cultivated the Divine Armament Summoning!"
Ning Cai was quite pretty, with her hair flying in the sunlight, radiating a bright luster.
She tilted her head, her eyes shining, and her Divine Embryo quivered in her forehead.
"Perfect, let this person temper my Divine Armament Summoning!"
Ning Cai laughed, her dimples showing.
Ning Caishen sighed. He didn't want to take the lead, but since his granddaughter had spoken up, they might as well give it a try and challenge a stronger opponent.
"I might not lose, Senior." Ning Cai smiled playfully.
Ning Caishen shook his head. "Your Divine Essence rank is at the Three Pure Ones level, and the oppressive feeling it brings is already extremely strong... Moreover, the Divine Technique you've mastered is somewhat similar to the Vajra Bodhimanda of the Buddhist sect. It can both attack and defend. To hurt him, you must first break through his Divine Essence manifestation."
"I've cultivated the Divine Armament Summoning..." Ning Cai laughed lightly, and a peach branch appeared in her fair palm as she raised her five fingers. She clenched her fist tightly, and her Divine Essence intertwined as she was teleported into the Divine Palace.
Ning Caishen sighed, "Let's go and observe this banquet... Perhaps, the girl who has cultivated the Divine Armament Summoning still has a chance to win."
As he finished speaking, a golden peach branch appeared in his palm. With a light sweep, he scattered his Divine Essence was scattered.
The hearts and minds of the crowd were instantly connected to the Celestial Immortals.
...
...
Inside the Divine Palace.
Li Che's black shirt, embroidered with golden lotus patterns, fluttered in the wind as he teleported into this Divine Palace once again.
This was slightly different from the Divine Possession that Lu Tai Bai had used with the golden peach branch.
After the banquet, his physical body appeared in this Divine Palace, which was actually located within the Queen Mother Xi Wangmu's Odd Temple.
Li Che could feel an extremely powerful oppressive force. Even his Divine Embryo at the Three Pure Ones level was palpitating, as if it had become much more subdued.
Before his eyes, the Divine Essence fluctuated, and then a graceful figure emerged.
Li Che knew that this was his next opponent.
It was a woman!
"I am Ning Cai from the Seven Treasures Divine Sect. Nice to meet you, Elder Li!" Ning Cai said with a touch of solemnity in her charming face as she bowed.
Li Che politely responded to her courteous greeting, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Elder Ning."
Ning Cai's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her bright eyes fixed on Li Che. She was looking at the honest and straightforward Divine Falcon Demi-Saint whom Li Che had mentioned after returning from Heavenly Origin City.
On the spectator stands surrounding them, one by one, the Celestial Immortals lit up, indicating that they had come to watch the battle.
Moreover, there were many more spectators than during the first banquet. It seemed that those who had not arrived in time before were now flocking to witness how Li Che had achieved such speed!
"Elder Li, please forgive me."
Ning Cai looked at Li Che and raised her hand to touch her forehead. In the next moment, strands of Divine Essence, like silk threads, were drawn out by her.
She leaped into the air, and her entire body seemed to be propelled by a powerful force.
Her fair hands continuously formed intricate hand seals in front of her, and as she chanted, the Divine Essence fluctuated. Then, with a mighty push, she waved her hands forward!
Divine light burst forth.
Li Che's black, robust hair fluttered in the wind, and his deep, dark eyes reflected the dense Divine light.
