Chapter 379: Divine Embryo Transformation, Three Souls Merge, Plucking the Kunlun Mirror, the Three Heroes of the Purple Mansion Join Forces to Attack Li Bansheng (Part 2)
"
"So, as long as we three stick together, advancing to the third round, we'll occupy three of the four spots. With three Peaches, we'll secure the top position in the Hero Competition."
Zhang Xuan Lei analyzed.
Zhang Xuanhe and Zhang Xuanyu, the two Daoists, also had their eyes flashing with determination.
The others were fighting solo, but the three Heroes of the True Martial Divine Sect had all advanced to the second round, just as they had planned.
"By the way, where's Li Che? He was the first to advance to the Five Thousand Year Peach Grove. I haven't seen him outside the fence. Where did he go?"
Zhang Xuanyu furrowed his brows and asked.
"Perhaps he gained the advantage of being the first to advance and entered the Peach Grove to familiarize himself with the arena..."
"But it doesn't matter. Once we enter the Five Thousand Year Peach Grove, we'll definitely find him... and kill him!"
Zhang Xuan Lei's killing intent surged.
Boom!!!
As his words ended, wisps of immortal energy rippled and surged, and the bamboo fence gate swung open.
After it opened, countless streams of immortal energy flowed into the arena.
"The second round of the Hero Competition begins!"
The Empress's clear voice rang out abruptly.
Then, the crowd was drawn into the Peach Grove as their spiritual energies were pulled by an attractive force.
...
...
Thump, thump, thump—
The sound of a pounding heart echoed in Li Che's ears like thunder.
Li Che felt dizzy and nauseous. Within his Niwan Palace, countless spiritual energies were boiling, like turbulent waves crashing and surging! His Heaven-Earth Soul was shattered again and again, and Li Che lost count of how many times it had been broken.
However, as the Seven Orifices Crystal Heart continued to beat, the scattered Heaven-Earth Soul quickly re-condensed!
Additionally, Li Che discovered another benefit.
During the repeated shattering of his Heaven-Earth Soul, the speed at which the Golden Divine Monkey Divine Embryo consumed and refined the spiritual energy of the Golden Divine Monkey Temple's Essence Core had increased!
Boom!!!
A vast wave of spiritual energy rippled and shook, and within Li Che's Niwan Palace, it was as if the sound of a sword's cry was exploding!
The Golden Divine Monkey Essence Core...
Embryonic Breath Transformation, Essence Core Transformation Divine Embryo!
However, because Li Che was currently within the Mysterious Temple, the Heavenly Will was blocked, and no Heavenly Tribulation had descended.
Heaven and Earth Mimicry, Seven Emotions and Six Desires, Golden Divine Monkey Divine Embryo!
The three Divine Embryos underwent complete transformations!
Boom, boom, boom—
It was as if a mighty roar echoed within his inner landscape.
Li Che felt his Heaven-Earth Soul tremble violently. The Heaven-Earth Soul, fused from the three Divine Embryos, gave Li Che a terrifying illusion of the heavens spinning and the earth turning! It was as if, at this moment, his Heaven-Earth Soul was powerful enough to move mountains and seas!
"My spirit... is becoming stronger and stronger. The spirits of the three Divine Embryos have merged into one. My spirit has surpassed that of any single Divine Embryo Transformation!"
"I can now be called a Three Divine Embryo Transformations!"
"However, I am a different kind of Three Divine Embryo Transformations. Others achieve three transformations with a single Divine Embryo, but I am not like them. I have achieved three transformations with three Divine Embryos."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Seven Orifices Crystal Heart hung within the inner landscape, releasing a pure divine essence, causing the three Divine Embryos to enter a state of harmonious coexistence.
Slowly opening his eyes, the Heaven and Earth Soul, which had been shattered countless times by the Celestial Sun Kunlun Mirror's aura and light, floated and sank, leaving Li Che dizzy and disoriented.
At this moment, with the breakthrough, the unification of the three Divine Embryos and the Heaven-Earth Soul, the dizziness disappeared, and Li Che's spirit became clear and powerful!
His heart stirred slightly.
[Dao Fruit: Pure Heart (Lv.6, 30%), Chess Sage (Lv.5, 95%)]
Li Che's eyes brightened.
As the Pure Heart Dao Fruit transformed from Lu Xuan Jianxian's Golden Core into Lu Xuan Jianxian's Divine Embryo, the unification of the three Divine Embryos and the Heaven-Earth Soul directly increased the maturity of the Pure Heart by 10%, greatly improving Li Che's mood.
Additionally, the Chess Sage Dao Fruit also benefited from the suspended suppression and refinement of the aura and light captured by Li Che after the repeated shattering of the Heaven-Earth Soul, leading to its enhancement.
The maturity level was increasing at a rapid pace!
"It seems... perhaps the Chess Sage Dao Fruit can achieve the fourth transformation. I wonder if the Chess Sage Dao Fruit after the fourth transformation can help me suppress and control this Kunlun Mirror?"
An ambitious thought arose in Li Che's mind.
However, it was just a fleeting ambition, a mere thought.
The Kunlun Mirror, a Trinity Divine Armament of the Three Pure Heavenly Origin, was not an easy target to bring into the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.
Li Che raised his head, his black hair fluttering in the wind.
His eyes shone brightly.
At the same time, Li Che's gaze also turned towards the distant Peach Blossom Grove, where white mist was rising.
This signaled the start of the second round of the Hero Competition.
"Continue capturing!"
However, Li Che paid no attention to the ongoing Hero Competition.
The light between his eyebrows shone brightly.
The unified Heaven-Earth Soul soared into the sky like a raging wave, surging and rolling!
It appeared beneath the Celestial Sun Kunlun Mirror, which was emitting a dazzling light.
Li Che continued his attempts to capture the aura and light.
Time was running out for him.
He needed to capture more...
...
...
Divine Capital, Second City.
Night gradually faded away, and the spring rain revealed a pale sky.
Unbeknownst to them, an entire night had passed.
The Hero Competition of the Peach Blossom Festival had been going on for a night.
Throughout the night, everyone was on high alert, their eyes fixed on the scenes within the Celestial River Curtain.
In the grand pavilion, some were furious, some were sad, and some were filled with rage.
The fallen heroes from the first round, including Yang Ziyu and others who perished in the Wicked Pavilion, could not return.
Zhang Xuanlei's slaughter in the Peach Blossom Grove had already enraged the leaders of the Divine Sects.
However, due to the strength of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, the various Divine Sects could only join forces to restrict the resources of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, just like the Mystical Talisman Sect.
"The second round has begun!"
"Zhang Xuanlei, Zhang Xuanhe, and Zhang Xuanyu, the three heroes of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, have entered the Five Thousand Year Peach Blossom Grove with their hidden strengths, and they are immediately searching for each other..."
"They've met up and each picked a Five Thousand Year Peach. This second round will likely become a place of rampage for these three heroes of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect!"
"With their combined forces, who can stand against them? Perhaps only the three heroes of the True Martial Divine Sect can match them..."
"The Kalo Monks from the Thousand Rides Buddha Kingdom of Western Land, the Golden Furred Dog, and Jade Guanyin from the Yellow Bamboo Grove of Southern Sea have joined forces... Look! It seems they're about to encounter the three heroes of the True Martial Divine Sect!"
...
With the start of the second round of the Hero Competition, twenty powerful heroes were making their moves in the Five Thousand Year Peach Blossom Grove.
Having gathered outside the grove beforehand, they had reached a consensus to cooperate after meeting up.
These heroes weren't foolish; they all understood the rules of the second round. Solo combat was not the wisest choice, as the Thousand Year Peach Orchard had already tested the power of the Peach Orchard Maze. So, they had prepared in advance, allowing them to meet earlier...
Subsequently, their cooperation became extremely important.
Three against one, they needed to obtain fifteen peaches to advance to the third round together. In the third round, teammates would become opponents, but that was a concern for the third round.
The sound of exclamations filled the air.
Through the Celestial River Curtain, the powerful cultivators of the Divine Sects in the Divine Capital's Second City and the Jianghu experts in the Third City witnessed the various alliances among the heroes.
"The heroes of the Divine Capital's three great families have joined forces: Ji Chen, Yue Wanglou, and Gongshu Changgong..."
"Gu Bajian from Ba Shu Sword Pavilion, Lu Shi from Vast Wisdom Academy, and Ning Cai from Seven Treasures Sect have formed an alliance!"
"Ao Yuan, Zhou Chenguo, and the first hero of the Dragon-Tiger Divine Sect, Zhao Jun, have formed a faction."
"The Golden Furred Dog from Witch Mountain, Kalo from Western Land, and Jade Guanyin from Yellow Bamboo Grove of Southern Sea... This lineup is too strong; perhaps only the three heroes of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect can match them?"
"It seems six temporary alliances have been formed..."
Suddenly, someone had a realization and asked a question.
"By the way, who are the two solo cultivators?"
"Li Che from the Qianyuan Divine Sect and Liu Qing from the Tian Dan Divine Sect..."
"Li Bansheng... He ascended too early, becoming the first to ascend and losing the chance to join forces."
"As for Liu Qing from the Tian Dan Divine Sect... he's just too weak."
Various discussions filled the air without pause.
Suddenly.
The numerous voices of discussion abruptly fell silent.
The air grew heavy with each breath.
Then, through the Celestial River Curtain, a scene was revealed amidst the gushing water.
Within the scene...
Li Che, seated in meditation beneath a peach tree, his body radiating divine energy as he cultivated, came into view.
Many sighed softly, feeling a deep sense of regret.
Some even let out low, suppressed screams.
"Li Bansheng... Run!"
"It's over, Li Bansheng is still cultivating... He really doesn't know anything, does he?"
"Indeed, being the first to ascend in the first round isn't a good thing; it feels like being isolated."
Sighs filled the air.
Through the Celestial River Curtain, everyone saw beyond the thousand-zhang peach grove.
Three heroes of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect—Zhang Xuanlei, Zhang Xuanhe, and Zhang Xuanyu—seemed to have sensed and locked onto Li Che's location.
They were rushing over at breakneck speed, closing in on him!
Qianyuan Divine Sect, Main Stage.
Xi Xi's face was filled with anxiety as she stood at the edge of the Jade Square's ruins, craning her neck to look at the Celestial River Curtain.
"Ah! They're so shameless, joining forces!"
"They're bullying Daddy because he's alone! How infuriating, Xi Xi is so angry!"
Xi Xi's chest heaved like an inflated balloon.
She stomped her feet, gritting her teeth, her face turning red.
She wished she could rush into the peach grove to help Daddy fight and stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
In the end, Xi Xi was helpless, on the verge of tears.
"Daddy, run!"
Main Banquet Area.
Lu Taibai's brows furrowed, and his drinking paused as a solemn expression appeared in his eyes.
Things were getting a little dangerous.
Three heroes of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect had joined forces...
Unless Li Che revealed his martial prowess, relying solely on his divinity...
It might be difficult.
"Ah Che, what will you do?"
...
...
Boom!
As if bathed in heavenly light, the scorching brilliance of the Kunlun Mirror was unbearable, even for the unique fusion of the Three Divine Embryos! Compared to the slightly longer-lasting endurance of the Three Divine Embryos earlier, at this moment, they channeled the breath of light streaming from the three Kunlun Mirrors...
Directing it towards the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.
The Three Divine Embryos were pitiful, as if slashed by countless scorching sword lights, leaving them in tatters with countless wounds, like a whole block of butter being melted away by a scorching knife.
They trembled on the verge of collapse.
Buzzing—
Suddenly.
Li Che sat in meditation beneath the peach tree, his black, vigorous hair fluttering in the wind, his black robe billowing.
His eyes snapped open, emitting a dazzling brilliance, as if the celestial sun had been embedded in his pupils.
"As expected, they've come..."
"And they've come in a group of three?"
The Heaven-Earth Chessboard trembled slightly, spanning the sky, and on the crisscrossing lines, Li Che clearly sensed and perceived three intense auras filled with killing intent.
Although they were a thousand zhang away and separated by numerous peach trees.
The three of them had a very clear target.
They rushed towards Li Che's meditation spot at breakneck speed.
"They're really impatient."
Li Che exhaled.
The invisible energy surged like a tidal wave, rolling and spreading, and beneath the peach tree, a fierce wind blew, causing countless frosted grasses to sway!
In just a few breaths.
Three figures strode forward, and with each step, a mighty divine energy spread, their blood surging, and they shrank into inches, rushing forward.
Like lightning, thunder roared! The terrifying pressure was like a black cloud sweeping in.
It caused the peach trees to sway incessantly, and even many of the peach trees' restrictions were automatically triggered!
Zhang Xuanlei took a step, and in his eyes, lightning crackled and sizzled.
In an instant, countless frosted grasses were scorched by the electric shock, emitting steam and dying in large patches.
His black hair fluttered in the cold wind, and his black Daoist robe billowed.
Zhang Xuanlei's wide sleeves whipped in the wind, and standing behind him, he looked tall and imposing, his eyes filled with electricity, staring coldly at Li Che.
Zhang Xuanhe and Zhang Xuanyu, the two heroes of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, furrowed their brows, standing on either side of Zhang Xuanlei.
Zhang Xuanlei's eyes were cold, and slowly, a sinister expression emerged.
Behind him...
Countless divine roars shook the heavens.
Then, they condensed into a divine shrine.
The divine shrine floated with the clanking sound of chains, and three chains wrapped around Zhang Xuanlei's spine, like a strange martial art of the divine seed.
"Li Che..."
"I've finally found you!"
Beneath the peach tree.
Li Che stood up, brushing off the frosted grass.
He stared at the divine shrine behind Zhang Xuanlei for a long time before speaking gently:
"Unfortunately... you're too late."
"Oops, I accidentally got a little stronger."
