Chapter 353: Devouring the Divine Heaven King, the Grand Mage is Killed by a Punch, and Tears Fall as He Seeks Redemption (Part 2)
But once it interfered with the King of Hell's devouring of the Divine Heaven Thunder, Huang Mei might be able to restore his Dao Essence Tribulation Buddha's power!
However, at this life-and-death moment, Huang Mei became incredibly cruel, his wrathful eyes burning with the power of the Dao Essence Tribulation Buddha. After shattering the sword energy, he fought fiercely with Lu Tai Bai, even with cracks on his Buddha image, he did not retreat.
Huang Mei was well aware that he must restore the connection of the Divine Heaven Thunder to the Dao Essence Tribulation Buddha, otherwise...
He would truly die!
However...
Huang Mei's heart quickly sank into the depths of despair.
Because...
A plump figure, with a smile on his face, blocked the path of the four divine falcon arhats.
"Yue Huang Long?!"
Huang Mei was stunned.
Under the Hunter King mask, Lu Tai Bai was also taken aback.
It wasn't...
Why was Yue Huang Long here? Yue Huang Long didn't respond, and in an instant, the fat on his body evaporated, his aura skyrocketed, and the mystic seeds floated and reflected, directly exploding!
A pitch-black netherworld figure stretched across the sky.
Then, Yue Huang Long directly ascended to the height of the top-tier ultimate apex, fighting alongside the four divine falcon arhats.
The four divine falcon arhats, burning with divine falcon nature, achieved a fleeting brilliance, reaching the strength of the top-tier ultimate apex.
But, there was still a gap compared to the top-tier ultimate apex!
They were completely suppressed by Yue Huang Long, and after a few moves, they were brutally smashed by him, exploding into countless scattered wood chips!
As if thinking of something, Yue Huang Long's face twitched.
His heart ached.
He thought of his master's greedy nature!
These sacred hand divine falcons were all treasures!
Damaging one would be enough to make Yue Huang Long feel the pain for a long time. This was a perfect opportunity to please his master!
Yue Huang Long immediately changed his approach, shifting from smashing the divine falcon arhats to suppressing and eroding their divine nature, and finally, he collected the divine falcons.
The situation...
Seemed to have reached a stalemate.
On the other side.
Li Che was struck by the Divine Heaven Thunder and fell onto the top of a strange rectangular building, as if attracting heavenly thunder to strike his body.
A Divine Heaven Thunder was incredibly powerful!
Li Che bathed in the thunder, clearly feeling the Lightning Magnet Body Fruit, the Dao fruit, more active than ever before, absorbing this Divine Heaven Thunder, one of the Three Disasters, with a vitality surpassing that of any other Dao fruit.
Under the thunder, Li Che's body seemed to be illuminated, revealing his steel-like bones.
But Li Che could feel the effects of absorbing this Divine Heaven Thunder.
The maturity of the Dao fruit was rapidly increasing!
He didn't know how long it had been...
Li Che felt this Divine Heaven Thunder, one of the Three Disasters, slowly weakening, and finally... it seemed to lose its power, like a faint thread of life.
Sizzle...
Heat waves rolled, distorting the void.
Dimly, it seemed as if cracks were appearing in the void.
It was being shattered by the explosive Divine Heaven Thunder.
There was a consensus among cultivators in the world that only the power of the Divine Tribulation Realm could break through the present world's void.
The Divine Tribulation Realm was known as the true immortal realm of the mortal world!
The ability to break through the void was precisely why it was not tolerated by heaven and earth.
Like Lu Tai Bai, who mastered the Dao Essence Tribulation Sword, and Huang Mei, who possessed the Dao Essence Tribulation Buddha, both had the power to break through the void, but they had to unleash their full strength to achieve it.
A gust of wind blew past, carrying with it a sense of anticipation.
Li Che maintained his stance, arms outstretched, and gradually awakened from his state of immersion.
His physical body had undergone countless tempering...
It felt incredibly exhilarating.
Before his eyes, a golden prompt appeared, floating into view.
His gaze swept across.
【Dragon Elephant Combined Form: Pure Martial Purity (90%)】
Even though absorbing the Divine Heaven Thunder Tribulation was not the main focus of the Dragon Elephant Vajra, the leaked thunderous power tempered his body, and its effect on the pure martial body was not insignificant!
As a result, Li Che's pure martial body reached ninety percent!
Ninety percent pure martial body!
Li Che clenched his fists, and a surge of immense power rushed through him, causing every pore on his body to seem like it was erupting with tremendous force!
The Sea of Qi expanded within the Dragon Elephant Combined Form, and in an instant, it reached a hundred zhang!
A hundred zhang Sea of Qi!
A deep laugh escaped Li Che's throat.
He had grown stronger, and even stronger!
His gaze fell upon Huang Mei, who had been completely suppressed by Lu Tai Bai.
"Bald donkey Huang Mei, it's time to hit the road!"
Li Che stood atop a towering building, his fingers splaying out.
In an instant, the Bound Spirits who had emerged from the Ink City's architecture rushed towards Li Che, their faces filled with fervor and excitement!
The ink-colored threads that connected each Bound Spirit to the city wrapped around Li Che's palms, pulling them towards him.
It was as if a puppeteer was controlling the puppets with threads.
Li Che clenched his fists.
With a thought, the Bound Spirits' power surged into Li Che's body, amplifying the six Mystic Seeds' power that he had detonated.
Huang Jian Jiu, You Li Qing, Su Lei Bao, Yan Jing... The Primordial Essence Aura and Qi Blood of these four Sea of Qi Saints merged into Li Che's body!
Additionally, the power of the three Divine Falcon Formation Arhats, Yue Huang Long, was also suppressed!
And the power of the deceased experts from Little Harmony Temple also surged towards him!
The power of the city's Bound Citizens converged, their hearts united!
The city's power gathered into Li Che's body!
Boom—!!!
Li Che took a heavy step forward, and the entire building instantly shattered, sending up a cloud of dust and smoke. A mushroom cloud rose, rolling and expanding.
Li Che's body, however, remained standing, like a great sun rising from the mushroom cloud.
In that moment, he seemed to burn with the brilliance of his entire life.
The pure martial golden Qi Blood reached an extreme heat, like the Golden Crow of legends soaring through the sky!
"Kill—!!!"
A long howl echoed.
The King of Hell, in the midst of boiling turmoil, unleashed a punch amidst the Qi Blood, like a great sun, with soundwaves like thunder and a fist aura like lightning!
The dragon-like elephant shook the heavens!
Dragon Elephant Combined Form!
Ten Thousand Transformation Dragon-Elephant!
Li Che's self-created Mystic Seed Martial Art, reaching the level of a Divine Transformation True Martial Art, evolved to its pinnacle in this moment!
The golden dragon entwined with the golden elephant!
All of Li Che's martial arts insights and cultivation, accumulated over time, erupted in this single punch!
And with it, an extreme killing intent!
Thinking about how Huang Mei had used despicable means to activate Xi Xi's Hell Lotus Power, threatening her life and the time bomb that caused Li Che such heartache.
Li Che's anger could no longer be contained!
Release, release!
Everything was released in this punch!
Boom—!!!
The punch was too bright, and a dragon-elephant illusion appeared, crossing through the void. The air rippled, and a powerful gust of wind descended upon Huang Mei's head!
"This punch... Divine Transformation True Martial! So domineering and terrifying!"
"Is this the King of Hell's all-out punch?"
Lu Tai Bai gripped the White Sword, the sword trembling uncontrollably.
This punch... was stunning and powerful!
It undoubtedly had the strength to rank among the top five at the Heavenly Gate Pass!
Huang Mei looked up, his body, which had been completely suppressed by Lu Tai Bai's Dao Essence Tribulation Buddha Bodhimanda, now raised a Vajra Wrathful Eyes Bodhimanda, with cracks all over it due to the missing Celestial Thunder Tribulation.
He stared at the descending punch from the sky with a hint of bewilderment.
Bang—!!!
The entire Ink City seemed to tremble and collapse with the impact.
Huang Mei's Vajra Wrathful Eyes Bodhimanda, after losing the Celestial Thunder Tribulation's support, completely slipped and fell, dropping to the level of a top-tier expert.
The Vajra Wrathful Eyes Bodhimanda dissipated, as if merging with the Ink City Hell Capital.
But at this moment, Huang Mei had no time to worry about these things.
Because that punch had shattered the Vajra Bodhimanda!
The momentum of the punch showed no signs of weakening. Under the black and white mask, his eyes blazed with killing intent.
The King of Hell landed in front of Huang Mei, unleashing a punch!
The fist aura blazed, and the Dragon Elephant Combined Form smashed down!
Boom—!!!
Huang Mei clenched his fist and punched back, like a straight punch from an Arhat!
The two fists collided!
Huang Mei spat out blood, and with the Self-Immolating Three Lives, his past and future bodies were severed, leaving only the present.
With the death of his present body, he truly died!
There was no means of revival, no backup plan for resurrection!
He was finished!
Huang Mei's face twitched uncontrollably, turning crimson. He had never imagined dying in such a manner!
The King of Hell's overwhelming aura made Huang Mei feel like he was fighting not one but tens of thousands of opponents!
Behind him, figure after figure appeared, shadowy and ghostly, standing like specters as the King of Hell threw his punch...
They revealed stiff smiles, their gazes fixed on him!
Pfft!
Pfft!
Huang Mei took several punches in a row, spitting out blood, unable to stop the bleeding!
Lu Tai Bai gripped the White Sword, sheathing the Dao Essence Tribulation Sword, her face turning deathly pale.
Maintaining the Dao Essence Tribulation Sword and the power of the God-Killing Wind was still quite taxing for Lu Tai Bai.
After all, he was not truly at the Divine Tribulation Realm and had not attained the Immortal Killing Wind Tribulation Dao Position.
But Lu Tai Bai also knew that Huang Mei was at his last resort.
Even without the Dao Essence Tribulation Sword, with the combined assault of the King of Hell...
Huang Mei's death was certain!
A sword qi pierced through Huang Mei's chest!
A fierce punch landed on Huang Mei's crown, causing concentric ripples of energy to surge like a grand tide on the Grand Canal, spreading in all directions.
Countless pieces of rubble from the Ash City Ruins were propelled to the edges of the city.
Silence.
Extinction.
The King of Hell and Lu Tai Bai vanished in the blink of an eye.
Only Huang Mei remained, standing unsteadily as if he were a drunken monk, unable to keep his balance.
"Hahaha... Hahaha..."
"This monk... is going to die."
"Buddha... this monk is going to die..."
Huang Mei's mouth, nose, and eyes were all bleeding, making him look pitiful. His aged body suddenly became even more decrepit.
All vitality had left him.
He coughed up mouthfuls of blood.
Then, he spread his arms, looked up to the sky, and cried and laughed hysterically, as if he had gone completely mad.
"I, Huang Mei, started cultivating at the age of three and was hailed as a once-in-a-millennium Buddhist genius! A true reincarnation of the Buddha, born with a pure Buddha heart. At six, I left the Little Harmony Temple and traveled through three hundred cities in Xiling... I saw frozen corpses on the road, and the people followed Buddhist laws, wailing incessantly. They offered their children as sacrifices, skinning and dismembering them..."
"Where is the Buddhist land? This is a human hell, a true hell!"
"At that time, my Buddha heart was shaken. I was furious, I didn't believe, I rebelled... I wanted to create a new Buddhist doctrine, to change this situation, to empty hell, to ensure that the Buddhist land would no longer be a hell, and to prevent countless people from entering hell..."
"From six to ten, to twenty, thirty, fifty, a hundred..."
"Now, I am seven hundred and thirty-six years old..."
Huang Mei raised his head...
Blood tears flowed down his face.
"I have forgotten the grand vow I made at the age of six. I, the old monk, sat in hell, in a high position, cultivating a Buddhist doctrine that draws its power from the blood of the people. I became a cultivator of the Hell Buddha."
"At the age of six, I wanted to create a new Buddhist doctrine, but I wasted my life. The old monk... ended up sitting in the hellish Buddhist land, presiding over the Hell Buddha Kingdom."
"Hahaha..."
Huang Mei's bloodshot eyes opened, staring at the King of Hell and Lu Tai Bai, who wore the Hunter King Mask.
Trembling, he pressed his palms together.
He opened his mouth, wanting to recite the purest Buddhist teachings he had learned when he first started cultivating at the age of three.
But...
His cracked and blood-stained lips trembled slightly as he opened them.
He had forgotten everything.
Not a single Buddhist verse could he recite.
At the age of three, he had been sincere and yearning.
His Buddha heart had been bright and clear...
But why...
Could he not recite a single verse?
A drop of tear, like a Bodhimanda crystal, silently fell.
It hit the ground, shattering like porcelain.
Huang Mei lowered his head.
His breath extinguished.
Beneath the mask, Lu Tai Bai's face turned deathly pale as he looked at the completely defeated Huang Mei, feeling not much satisfaction but rather a sense of loss.
"The Xiling Dao, adjacent to the Western Buddhist Land, has a Hell Buddha Kingdom. Even if one Huang Mei dies, there will be others..."
"They cannot be eliminated, they cannot be killed off..."
"Brother King of Hell... if one day my sword grows weary, can it finish the job?"
Lu Tai Bai raised his White Sword, while the King of Hell, with his mask divided into light and dark halves, remained calm and unmoved.
The golden Qi blood mist surrounding him swirled and churned, making the King of Hell appear even more mysterious and elusive.
"In this world, there is no power that cannot be eliminated..."
"Yes, but your obsession is not strong enough!"
"It's because your sword is not sharp enough."
Lu Tai Bai was taken aback.
His sword... not sharp enough?
Suddenly, Lu Tai Bai's eyes flickered, and he glanced at the quietly burning Infernal Lotus Flame on the exposed golden finger bone...
The flame expanded and burned, consuming Huang Mei's flesh and blood, leaving only a golden skeleton, draped in torn monk's robes and cassock, sitting cross-legged on the ground.
That year, the little monk made a grand vow at the age of six, but hell was not emptied.
Now, seven hundred and thirty-six years later, the little monk had become an old monk.
Hell remained unemptied.
Suddenly, a golden Qi blood mist rolled towards the golden skeleton of Huang Mei. The King of Hell arrived before the remains.
He slowly raised his five fingers and placed them on the golden skull.
A faint voice, tinged with a hint of laughter, echoed.
"The dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon, but you have already become one.
"The evil dragon's repentance before its end, shedding a tear of blood, does not absolve its sins. Does it believe it can wash away its guilt?"
"If you want to atone, hell is not the place to go."
"Hell is too crowded; there's no room for you."
"Come, take a trip to the Netherworld."
First update, I rushed to write this chapter to this point, and I'll try to finish it tomorrow. This plot has a lot of foreshadowing about the background and the specifics of the Divine Tribulation Realm, which is quite challenging to write. Please continue to support with monthly tickets and recommendations. Although the recommendation effect is not ideal, Li Che will keep trying!
