Chapter 385: Dao Guided Ghost Axe, Seizing Heaven's Transformation, Slaying Guan Yin, Golden Furred
Chapter 385: Dao Guided Ghost Axe, Seizing Heaven's Transformation, Slaying Guan Yin, Golden Furred Dog Transforms into the Apex Golden Lion King (Part 1)
Massive clouds stretched across the sky, illuminated by the setting sun's radiant glow, creating a mesmerizing display of golden edges and colorful clouds that filled the heavens.
The second and third cities of the Divine Capital.
After a brief moment of exclamations, silence slowly descended. Everyone's breathing seemed to stir up waves, and they craned their necks, fixated on the scene projected on the Heavenly River Curtain.
Everyone knew that the third round of the Hero Competition was crucial, as it was a battle for the title of Hero Leader, which could determine who would have the privilege of entering the Nine Thousand Year Peach Orchard, plucking the freshest Nine Thousand Year Peaches, and becoming a celebrated hero in the Great Jing Imperial Family's grand event. Compared to the Dragon Leader, the Hero Leader was the true path to fame and recognition across the realm.
Each Hero Leader emerged from the top geniuses under fifty years old from the various Divine Sects of the Great Jing Eleven Paths, and they were destined to become the pillars of their sects in the future.
There was even a significant chance that they could ascend to the Heavenly Gate Pass and be recorded in the Great God Spectrum.
For any cultivator, achieving fame throughout the realm was a universal aspiration and desire.
And becoming the Hero Leader in the Hero Competition was a rare opportunity.
Suddenly, the cultivators watching the scene on the Heavenly River Curtain exclaimed in unison.
"Ah!"
"What's happening? Isn't the Golden Fur Dog eager to face Li Half-Saint? How did he get swayed by Li Half-Saint's words so easily?"
"They're actually joining forces to deal with Jialuo and Jade Guanyin..."
"No, why is Li Half-Saint attacking Jade Guanyin? She's one of our Great Jing cultivators. He should be allying with her to fight against the Golden Fur Dog and Jialuo Monk!"
The voices continued without pause, and some even stood on a moral high ground, criticizing Li Che's decision to attack Jade Guanyin as a mistake.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately refuted by others.
Li Qingshan, unconcerned about appearances, directly cursed out loud.
"Spectators should just mind their own business. What's so special about the Great Jing Hero? Does being a Great Jing Hero mean you can team up with the Western Buddha Land's monks to reap the benefits?"
"Why didn't you say that Jade Guanyin should be the one to fight the Golden Fur Dog from Witch Mountain? Just because she's a woman, does she deserve special treatment from you?"
Li Qingshan hunched his back, unbothered by his image, and continued cursing.
Many cultivators' faces turned red and blue with anger at his words.
However, they knew they were in the wrong, so they ignored the old man, Li Qingshan, and turned their attention back to the Heavenly River Curtain.
Despite their words, they didn't want to miss the scene unfolding on the curtain.
After all, the heroes in the third round were incredibly powerful Martial Saints and Divine Embryo experts.
Ordinary Second Level Martial Saints were no match for the Golden Fur Dog or Jialuo Monk, and they could even face off against the Absolute Apex and the Great Gods.
So, who wouldn't want to witness such a battle between deities?
Instead of wasting time arguing with Li Qingshan, it was better to catch every second of the action on the Heavenly River Curtain.
In the banquet area of the Lotus Pavilion, Imperial Tutor Xie Yunsen narrowed his eyes, holding a cup to his lips as he intently watched the curtain, not missing a detail.
"Li Che..."
"That dazzling white light during the battle with the Purple Mansion's Three Heroes couldn't have been a coincidence..."
"You must have known that we could see you in the Mysterious Temple, so... You intentionally created that white light to conceal the probing and capturing abilities of the Heavenly River Hairpin... Although I don't know how you did it, it's clear that you're hiding something!"
"Zhang Xuan Lei completely sacrificed himself to the Temple Deity, and the power he unleashed rivaled the Absolute Apex. Your divine nature cultivation is insufficient, so you must have used other means..."
"Did you use the Martial Dao?"
Xie Yunsen's eyes reflected deep thoughts, like mist swirling within them.
"You..."
"Is it the Divine Monkey?!"
"The Bull Demon is the Divine Monkey?!"
Xie Yunsen abruptly raised his head, and his black and white hair shimmered in the evening glow as he gulped down the wine in his cup.
Then, he glanced at Lu Chi, who was craning his neck, eagerly watching the battle on the Heavenly River Curtain without a moment's pause.
In the end, he was just a child.
...
...
The wind howled, and the world fell silent, leaving only the sound of the wind and the explosion of energy.
The battle within the Seven Thousand Year Peach Orchard exceeded everyone's imagination.
The two combatants, who were supposed to engage in a fierce fight, suddenly joined forces, turning on two heroes who had come to spectate.
Everyone thought that a four-way battle wouldn't emerge so quickly in the third round, but that's exactly what happened.
Of course, it wasn't exactly a free-for-all, as each side still had clear objectives.
For instance, the Golden Fur Dog unleashed its golden fur, its eyes glowing red as it relentlessly assaulted Jialuo Monk, while the Golden Lion King's phantom roared, its lion's roar shattering gold.
On the other side, Li Che stood with his arms crossed, floating in mid-air. His black shirt fluttering, and his black hair dancing in the wind, he appeared incredibly relaxed and carefree.
But Li Che had already made his move.
Above Jade Guanyin's head, the Half-Step Apex Divine Mechanism Beast, the Little Dragon King, suddenly spread its wings, blocking out the sun. The sharp tail, adorned with intricate mechanisms, spun and emitted a brilliant light, resembling a dazzling sun.
A hundred thousand intricate parts and a hundred thousand mechanisms activated simultaneously, each playing its intended role.
Even Jade Guanyin, facing the threat of a Half-Step Apex Divine Mechanism Beast, couldn't help but exclaim in awe at such a masterfully crafted technique.
However, Jade Guanyin's amazement only lasted for a moment before she felt incredibly stifled.
Wasn't the agreement not to hit women? Using a mechanism to attack doesn't count as hitting, right?!
Jade Guanyin's hair was loose, and the purple bamboo in her hand was suddenly whipped out like a divine whip, fiercely striking the tail that Little Dragon King had just whipped towards her! Little Dragon King was a Half-Step Mechanism Beast, and in terms of combat power, he was already at the level of a Fourth Opening Martial Saint.
With a crackling sound, the mechanism seal burst into a dazzling brilliance, and a single sweep of its tail seemed to have been slashed by a divine sword, causing the empty sky to explode and the airflow to shatter, as if there were flames dancing on its tail!
The fiery dragon's tail seemed to pull out a terrifying power akin to a Martial Saint's Sword Gale! It was like a blue dragon tearing through the bursting clouds, glaring down at the mortal world!
Slap—!!!
The red dot between Jade Guanyin's brows suddenly erupted, like a red date, as if a drop of blood had been placed on it, making it extremely crimson.
In an instant, the drop of blood exploded, and a divine aura spread out from her Niwan Inner Scene.
Jade Guanyin's body seemed to be enveloped in white, light silk, covering her figure.
Little Dragon King's terrifying tail fiercely whipped the silk, emitting a deafening explosion, but the silk, like a breeze blowing through, directly neutralized the terrifying attack.
Boom—!!!
The coiled peach tree behind Jade Guanyin suddenly flashed with dazzling brilliance.
Then, it passed through and exploded a huge pit on the ground behind the peach tree.
The white silk had transmitted the force of Little Dragon King's attack, like a mountain-splitting ox, without affecting her at all!
"Divine Armament..."
Li Che's eyes flashed.
These heroes from the Divine Sect were indeed extraordinary, like Zhang Xuan Lei, who possessed the black peachwood sword, a divine armament known as the Thunder Strike Peachwood Seven Star Sword, which was a Five Ancients Upper Rank Divine Armament.
And the white silk that Jade Guanyin had just summoned was a defensive type of divine armament...
Rank...
Four Imperial level!
Li Che hugged his chest, and the flesh on his brow split open, revealing a golden light that allowed him to spy on the details of the white silk.
Jade Guanyin tumbled down from the branch of the peach tree, her bare, crystal-like feet landing on the frost-covered grass, and her toes tapped the frost, causing her to bounce.
"Li Half-Saint!"
Jade Guanyin's fair skin instantly glistened with sweat.
Having taken the brunt of Little Dragon King's mechanism tail with her Guanyin Silk, Jade Guanyin's heart couldn't help but tremble! This was a Half-Step Apex Mechanism Beast!
Li Half-Saint was indeed worthy of being a Divine Carving Half-Saint, to have such control over a mechanism beast...
"Misunderstanding!"
Jade Guanyin screamed.
Because Little Dragon King, under Li Che's mental control, flapped its wings, causing the airflow to explode, and it directly charged at Jade Guanyin without any hesitation due to her words.
Too much talk, but now, there's no more talking.
Well, it's not certain that she can be killed, but if Jade Guanyin doesn't want to fight, she can simply communicate with the Queen Mother's divinity and withdraw.
Since you're not withdrawing and still talking, it means you're not content and want to compete for the title of Heroic Champion.
Then...
Don't talk.
Take a whip first!
Little Dragon King opened its mechanism mouth and roared, its eyes like red agate, bursting with a dazzling brilliance.
Then...
Countless energy gathered in its mouth, and the next moment, it shot out a beam of light like a shockwave!
Bang—!!!
Thunder and electricity surged, and the ground instantly shattered into pieces, with countless heat waves rippling and electric arcs intertwining!
This was Little Dragon King, equipped with a Super Electromagnetic Cannon in its mouth, installed by Li Che, who had made some improvements, though it still differed significantly from the Tang Mechanism Beast.
However, the Super Electromagnetic Cannon installed in the mechanism beast's mouth had its power significantly weakened, after all, it lacked the amplification provided by the Thunder and Electricity Dao Body...
So, its power was reduced by about three to four-tenths.
But it was still enough! Combined with its penetrating power, it was enough to make it a tricky opponent for even an Absolute Apex Martial Warrior.
Countless clouds of dust billowed!
The frost-covered grass shot out like arrows.
Jade Guanyin coughed, crashing through the dust, her face instantly turning pale.
"Li Half-Saint!!!"
Jade Guanyin gritted her teeth, feeling like she would die if she spoke.
Golden Fur Dog, look at him!
Is this what you call sincerity?
He's even more cunning than the monk Jialuo!
The white Guanyin Silk continued to flutter, its white glow shimmering, and Jade Guanyin felt incredibly stifled, her heart filling with anger.
Li Che looked at Jade Guanyin, covered in white silk, and his eyes revealed a strange light.
"Indeed, it's a Four Imperial Divine Armament, and its defense is indeed formidable... If Xi Xi had this, it would be like an extra layer of protection for her."
Li Che muttered.
Defensive divine armaments were indeed very precious.
Xi Xi's collection of divine armaments was mostly offensive in nature.
Except for the Hell Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel, which was an auxiliary type, but she didn't have any defensive ones.
So, Li Che was indeed quite interested in Jade Guanyin's white silk.
"Good stuff."
Li Che praised.
Jade Guanyin raised her head, her blue-black hair flying, and her cold, beautiful face turned red with anger.
Li Che... What kind of look is that?!
Is that a look of interest in her Guanyin Silk?!
Jade Guanyin quickly calmed down: "Li Half-Saint... This Guanyin Silk is one of the treasures of my Southern Sea Bamboo Grove, extremely precious and unmatched in defense. Li Half-Saint, don't waste your efforts, you can't break through its defense."
"What if I break it?" Li Che's mind moved, and the Little Dragon King paused his attack, smiling as he asked.
Jade Guanyin's eyes narrowed involuntarily, and if it was broken, it was broken...
If it was broken, she would surrender!
"If I break this Guan Yin silk, will you lend it to me for a while?"
Li Che crossed his arms, his black hair billowing, and he showed a sincere smile.
Lending it naturally meant lending it, but it was just a matter of lending it for a few more years.
Li Che never liked forcing others into difficult situations.
This Guan Yin silk, if Li Che borrowed it, would only be used as a defensive divine armament for Xi Xi, and with Xi Xi's growth rate, it would probably become useless in a decade or two.
At that time, Li Che would naturally return it.
Jade Guanyin's eyes narrowed, and the drop of blood on her forehead became even more crimson.
"So... Li Half-Saint has taken a liking to my Guan Yin silk."
Jade Guanyin took a deep breath, and beneath her white silk robe, her towering chest heaved.
A surge of anger spread from her forehead, and the white silk around her body fluttered as she gripped the purple bamboo she had been carrying...
"Since that's the case, Li Half-Saint can come and try to see if he can break my Guan Yin silk. If he truly breaks it, what harm is there in giving it to Li Half-Saint!"
Jade Guanyin spoke in a deep voice.
But Li Che shook his head and said seriously, "I said I'd borrow it, and if I break your divine armament, you can give it to me... You're just being broken by me, not killed by me."
"I'd feel embarrassed."
Jade Guanyin's face darkened. You'd feel embarrassed?!
However, her heart also felt strange. Was it really just borrowing?!
But soon, she stopped thinking about these things.
As Li Che's mind moved, the Little Dragon King resumed his attack, and his terrifying tail lashed out, causing the air to explode! Jade Guanyin didn't dodge or evade; instead, she grabbed the purple bamboo and swung it out forcefully, like a divine spear in her hand, with countless purple bamboo leaves rustling.
A crisp sound rang out.
The purple bamboo struck the Little Dragon King's tail...
The Little Dragon King's terrifying tail sweep suddenly lost its power.
Or rather...
The divine connection between the Little Dragon King's divine mechanism seal and the divine essence crystal had been severed! For the first time, Li Che showed a look of surprise.
"This purple bamboo..."
"Can sever the divine connection?"
Li Che was startled.
However, in about two breaths, the divine connection between the Little Dragon King and the divine mechanism seal was restored to normal.
"It's just a temporary severance of the divine connection... but it's still very powerful."
"This purple bamboo is a bit special.
