Chapter 382: The Divine Deity of the Heavenly Court is Merely My Food, The Chess Saint's Dao Fruit Transforms Four Times 【Seeking Monthly Votes】 (Part 1)
Whoosh—
The chaotic winds howled and roared, creating a deafening rumble like muffled thunder. The sounds of explosions reverberated, and the rumbling continued endlessly!
Zhang Xuan Lei's body was struck by a terrifying punch, and amidst the dazzling brilliance, nothing could be seen. It was as if all the light had been extinguished.
The temperature between heaven and earth became scorching hot, and the remaining water in the divine realm's water prison, which had not yet completely melted away, was instantly evaporated, leaving not a drop behind!
With one punch, Zhang Xuan Lei's head was smashed into his abdomen, and the force within it exploded in an instant.
At the center of where Zhang Xuan Lei's body fell, the soft mud within a hundred zhang radius began to roll and fly, and large chunks of mud and stones, like countless arrows, shot out in all directions!
The entwined pan tao trees swayed incessantly, and the sound of rustling filled the air as countless peach leaves fell.
Each peach leaf was caught in the powerful force, swirling and cutting like blades.
The shrine embedded in Zhang Xuan Lei's back violently trembled, and the next moment, an immense divine essence burst forth.
It was as if an embarrassed and enraged will was trying to take form.
However, Li Che's agile body demonstrated his martial prowess, and within his chest, the long dormant Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit seemed to fully awaken at this moment.
With each pulsating beat, an immense fist intent surged forth!
With a single punch, the Dragon Elephant merged into the furnace!
The enormous furnace radiated intense heat, as if the heavenly furnace had poured forth, unleashing a terrifying will to destroy heaven and earth. It was the ultimate manifestation of martial will.
Therefore, with this punch, the temple deity that had invaded Zhang Xuan Lei's body let out a piercing scream.
It erupted with immense divine essence to resist, but it was still annihilated by a single punch.
It couldn't be blocked... not at all...
Li Che's punch had already reached the pinnacle of the Absolute Apex!
How could such power exist in the Hero Competition?
Boom—!!!
The ground instantly caved in, forming a massive pit, and the branches of the pan tao trees, protected by restrictive powers, whipped wildly.
Zhang Xuan Lei's headless body was forcefully hammered into the pit.
Smoke and dust billowed, swirling wildly.
The shrine of the temple deity instantly detached from Zhang Xuan Lei's body and soared into the air. It was the shrine that Zhang Xuan Lei had nurtured for over forty years...
Now, it decisively abandoned Zhang Xuan Lei, seeking to escape.
The death of the temple deity was the coldest and most ruthless.
However, just as the will of the temple deity stirred within the shrine, Li Che's punch forcefully suppressed it.
Boom!!!
Countless thunderbolts surged out from the shrine.
It seemed to be in a state of panic.
However, a massive palm, like a shield blocking the sun, covered the shrine with its intertwined veins, resembling a ferocious dragon.
"Summon the Deity."
A faint voice, like that of the King of Deities, coldly intoned.
In an instant, an immense force extracted the temple deity's divine essence from the shrine.
It was as if a turtle hiding in its shell had been forcibly pulled out!
"I am the Temple Deity! I am the Divine Deity of the Heavenly Court! Mortal... you cannot... you cannot..."
"Don't do this!"
"Ah—!!!"
The piercing scream gradually faded.
On the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.
A temple deity with ugly features and control over thunder, resembling a statue, hovered with its wings spread.
The Divine Deity of the Heavenly Court?
Merely food.
Li Che's body was robust and sturdy, and dealing with such a character didn't require him to detonate the Mystic Divine Seed. The power of the seven Mystic Divine Seeds, when activated simultaneously, was enough to suppress both Zhang Xuan Lei and this temple deity.
"The temple deity of the Dark Heavenly Court is not a true deity... This should be a Five Elders Rank temple deity with a strange will, but Zhang Xuan Lei only nurtured a will of the temple deity."
Li Che glanced at the temple deity's power extracted by Summon the Deity.
It wasn't a complete entity, but it was sufficient.
Since the power of the temple deity in the Golden Lion King Pagoda had not been completely devoured, Li Che directly threw this temple deity to the Seven Emotions Divine Embryo for consumption.
The Seven Emotions Divine Embryo became incredibly greedy, and the divine embryos within it opened their eyes one by one.
Because the Seven Emotions Divine Embryo was formed by summoning the temple deity with the seven emotions attributes, they were extremely greedy and had no aversion to consuming the temple deity to enhance themselves.
Threads extended and penetrated the temple deity's body, devouring and extracting its divine essence.
Li Che glanced at it and then stopped paying attention.
A Five Elders Rank temple deity indeed couldn't pose a threat to him at this point.
The brilliant light gradually dimmed and weakened.
The shining sun would eventually fade.
Li Che channeled a strand of the Sun's Radiance Kunlun Mirror's light, like a hundred million-watt bulb, making it impossible to look directly at the light.
He glanced at Zhang Xuan Lei's corpse, flicked his finger, and a sword aura instantly burst forth, slicing Zhang Xuan Lei's body to pieces, creating the illusion that it had been shredded by the sword aura.
Then, the pores and apertures on his body seemed to unleash a terrifying force of absorption.
In an instant, countless intertwined blood and energy were completely devoured, leaving not a trace behind.
Subsequently, his body began to shrink rapidly, like a deflating balloon.
After a moment, it returned to its normal size.
He changed into a black shirt adorned with embroidered golden lotuses, and the fluttering sleeves whipped the air. Li Che crossed his arms, and his entire body was enveloped in the Heaven and Earth Mimicry.
It was as if he wasn't the one who had punched Zhang Xuan Lei to death.
Elegant and amiable, his temperament was as smooth as black jade.
The dazzling light gradually disappeared, and Li Che glanced at the corpses of the three heroes of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, sighing softly.
Originally, they still had a chance to leave alive, after all, Li Che wouldn't have moved the Ink City unless he had gathered the three of them. Otherwise, the three of them could have directly escaped through the power of the Temple Deity in the Queen Mother's Temple.
But in order to kill Li Che, they ended up killing themselves. Zhang Xuan Yu used the power of the Divine Realm to dig up their graves, and in the end, they buried themselves.
Buzz—
The dazzling white light gradually faded, and the scene within the Peach Blossom Grove slowly emerged.
Li Che's mind moved, and he manipulated the Heaven and Earth Mimicry to pluck the peaches.
The massive Heaven and Earth Mimicry, formed entirely from divinity and spiritual energy, was not only incredibly tough but also possessed terrifying strength. Under Li Che's manipulation, it carefully plucked the peaches like a delicate embroidery.
The guardian beast of the peach tree, a small head poking out, was glared at by the Heaven and Earth Mimicry and quickly ran away, protecting the peach tree for countless years.
The beast, at times, was quite aware of the situation, as it had a keen sense of danger and even more self-awareness than humans.
With the first peach in hand, Li Che approached the corpses of Zhang Xuan Lei, Zhang Xuan Yu, and Zhang Xuan He, taking their Heavenly Sun Kunlun Mirror and the peaches they had plucked.
Four peaches floated above Li Che's shoulders, their rich fragrance permeating the air.
In fact, Li Che had also plucked a peach with Yue Huang Long's Binding Deity Chess Piece, and even sensed the Three Pure Ones Rank's divine weapon, the Sun's Radiance Kunlun Mirror, high above the heavens.
However, Li Che did not bring out that peach to make up the count.
He still needed to obtain one more peach to make a total of five, in order to advance to the third round of the Hero Competition.
In the third round, he would obtain a seven-thousand-year-old peach, and in the fourth round, he would only need three peaches.
Four people could advance to the third round by obtaining three peaches...
Basically, they were about to sweep through the competition.
But at this moment, Li Che's heart was filled with eagerness. He wanted to visit the seven-thousand-year-old and nine-thousand-year-old peach orchards, and even the Divine Capital, to witness the Sun's Radiance Kunlun Mirror hanging high above the sky!
Not only for the nine-thousand-year-old peach, but also for the Sun's Radiance Kunlun Mirror hanging high above the sky!
...
Buzz—
The dazzling white light was blinding, striking the eyes of every spectator, causing many to exclaim in surprise.
The Heavenly River Curtain tore open the space, revealing a river of water that reflected a scene that seemed to have gone wrong!
The dazzling light was so blinding that it was impossible to see what was happening in the peach grove.
Li Che and Zhang Xuan Lei's confrontation reached a critical point, and Zhang Xuan Lei, driven mad by the deaths of Zhang Xuan Yu and Zhang Xuan He, completely lost control, just like his son Zhang Yun Huang, abandoned his humanity and gave his physical body to the Temple Deity.
Everyone's eyes widened, and even the Emperor and Empress couldn't help but stare.
As a result...
The white light obscured everything, and nothing could be seen!
What was happening? Zhang Xuan Lei, who had completely sacrificed himself to the Temple Deity, could perfectly borrow the power of the Temple Deity, but no one knew what kind of power he could unleash. Li Ban Sheng could withstand the Temple Deity's power, but no one knew. Everyone was filled with regret and complained endlessly.
Even Xi Xi, standing on the edge of the Jade Square, couldn't help but stomp her feet in anger.
"Isn't this the greedy dog that Li Che mentioned? So annoying! Xi Xi wants to watch!"
Xi Xi whined unhappily.
Lu Tai Bai's eyes flashed, and he was surprised, wondering if this was a coincidence.
"It's happening, it's happening! The white light is fading."
"There's a scene! Everyone, look!"
"Can Li Ban Sheng survive a battle with the Temple Deity? The Temple Deity is said to be invincible among its peers. The Purple Mansion Divine Sect, which nurtures the Temple Deity, can unleash at least half the power of the Temple Deity with its assistance!"
Shouts of surprise suddenly echoed, reverberating from the second and third cities.
As the white light completely dissipated, everyone saw Li Che, who had lost the Heaven and Earth Mimicry, searching the bodies of the three.
Li Che unceremoniously took the peaches and the Heavenly Sun Kunlun Mirror from their bodies.
With this scene, everyone knew the result, and they all fell silent.
Although they had guessed this situation beforehand, when Li Che actually killed Zhang Xuan Lei, it was like a thunderbolt, shocking everyone.
On the ground, Zhang Xuan Lei's body was torn into pieces by the sword aura, and his blood stained the ground.
The frost grass, which would normally devour flesh and blood, was overwhelmed by the terrifying attack, leaving no time to deal with the bodies.
"Dead?"
"Li Ban Sheng against three, and he killed them all?!"
"Hiss, his is the honest Divine Eagle Half-Saint of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect? Isn't it said that the Divine Eagle Master is experienced in combat?"
...
The shouts of surprise couldn't be contained, echoing like a wave within and outside the city.
The two young dragons of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect were struck like by thunder.
Zhang Yuan Hu and Zhang Yuan Long, the two young dragons, sat on the ground in shock, completely stunned.
However, Zhang Wuji, the leader of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, suddenly flicked his dust-sweeping brush and lightly sighed.
"Life and death are destined by Heaven's Will. Xuan Lei killed, and now he is killed. It can only be said that this is the Heavenly Tribulation's perfect cycle."
The light sigh echoed endlessly, like a gentle breeze.
But at this moment, no one cared about his sigh.
Someone had died, and that was the truth.
No one cared.
...
...
Li Che knew that he was being watched through the Heavenly River Curtain by the spectators outside, witnessing everything clearly.
In the silence, Li Che effortlessly performed the Binding Spirit on the three, successfully doing so twice.
Zhang Xuanhe and Zhang Xuanyu successfully became Binding Deity Chess Pieces, while Zhang Xuanlei failed, as he had given up everything, forsaking his soul, and sacrificing it all to the Temple Deity. With the Temple Deity summoned, he could no longer be bound.
Li Che didn't mind, as one more Zhang Xuanlei wouldn't make much difference.
As for the two Binding Deity Chess Pieces, Li Che's Divine Secret Art moved, summoning them directly within the Ink City.
Zhang Xuanhe struggled upon being summoned, raging with fury, roaring incessantly.
Li Che naturally threw him to the Binding Folk within Ink City for a feast.
It's been a while since Li Che last saw a Binding Spirit unaware of the times.
Zhang Xuanyu, on the other hand, was quite clever and obedient, choosing to submit. Li Che spared her life.
Especially her Divine Realm Art, which intrigued and piqued Li Che's curiosity.
Li Che's body hovered with four Peaches, exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, his powerful Heaven-Earth Soul trembled, the Triple Integration Soul, comparable to a Divine Embryo's Three Transformations, significantly enhancing Li Che.
"Just one more..."
"Advance to the next round soon, and then..."
Li Che glanced at the three corpses on the ground, then expanded the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, locking down the entire Peach Orchard.
His perception soared, witnessing the battles throughout the orchard.
However...
Li Che quickly focused his Divine Secret Art, locking onto one.
"Oh?"
"What a coincidence..."
Li Che's expression turned peculiar.
He encountered an old acquaintance, the First Hero of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, Liu Qing.
Liu Qing's body plunged into the darkness, his breath completely concealed, Li Che swiftly flew through the orchard, heading towards Liu Qing's location.
Liu Qing was attempting to pluck a Peach.
The guardian beast of the Peach, a powerful creature, was no pushover. Liu Qing clashed with it, feeling an evenly matched battle.
Liu Qing's hair flew, his arms spread wide, and jade bottles containing pills flew up, exploding mid-air, releasing thick black smoke.
That was...
Poison!
The Divine Pill Master of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect was not only skilled in pill refinement but also a master of poisons.
This toxic fog, in the moment Liu Qing exhaled, resembled a black dragon, coiling towards the giant snake guarding the Peach.
Sizzling sounds filled the air.
The giant snake's scales corroded, its flesh seemed to peel away, indicating the extraordinary potency of the poison.
However, Liu Qing was not satisfied.
"Such a tough snake, my corrosive black smoke, the toxicity is not enough.
