Chapter 386: Hero's Victory, Lion King Bombarded, Heaven's Ten Feet Within My Reach (Part 1)
"Come!"
"Fight!"
The golden-furred dog's battle intent surged, and he let out a roar that shattered gold and split stones, while his mane exploded, maintaining the illusion of the Golden Lion King, spanning across the Peachtree Garden!
Behind him, the towering mountains rose into the clouds, as if about to pierce through the sky and tear apart the cloud layers, causing them to burst into layers of spreading mist.
Invisible substances and subtle waves of energy rippled around him, as if a gentle breeze was stirring his mane.
The battle intent was intensely fervent!
The golden-furred dog's blood boiled within him. He no longer suppressed his cultivation, allowing it to burst forth completely, revealing his Fourth Opening Martial Saint and Apex Martial Warrior cultivation.
This was why he had the confidence to win the Hero Competition and claim the top spot in this session.
All confidence stems from strength.
When strength is sufficient, confidence naturally follows!
This is an eternal truth!
Ever since making a bet with Li Che, the golden-furred dog had been eagerly awaiting this day, holding back his cultivation to make a stunning impression.
In the previous session, he had not broken through his realm and lost regrettably in the Hero Competition, failing to claim the top spot.
But this time, no one could stop him!
The bet with Li Che further ignited his desire to win, like dry grass set ablaze!
Li Che... had successfully stirred his fighting spirit!
He was determined to crush Li Che!
Then... he would take Jin Taisui, that embarrassing disgrace, back to Witch Mountain and kneel before the Great Witch God to repent!
The wind howled, raging fiercely.
Within the Peachtree Garden, the trees shook violently, causing the leaves to rustle and create a continuous rustling sound.
The golden-furred dog fixed his gaze on Li Che, who stood atop the head of the Little Dragon King.
Li Che crossed his arms, and a faint light emanated from his Niwan Palace, as if a divine stream was pouring down, forming a Heaven and Earth Mimicry illusion around him.
With an air of superiority, he surveyed the world below.
How domineering!
The golden-furred dog's body seemed cast from gold, and he stared intently at Li Che.
"Li Half-Saint... let's settle our bet!"
"Before this battle, we should clarify the terms. Don't try to back out if you lose..."
The golden-furred dog stretched his body, and his muscles and bones creaked, resembling a dragon's veins, as his lion-like physique revealed itself.
Li Che crossed his arms and smiled faintly, "Naturally."
"If you win, you can take Jin Taisui with you."
"If you lose, you will become my servant and mount, just like Jin Taisui."
As Li Che's words fell, the golden-furred dog's aura suddenly expanded, his eyes burning with a fiercely domineering Martial Dao Will. His overwhelming presence seemed to divide the world, creating a terrifying sense of oppression that spread and intensified.
"This is indeed an unfair bet..."
"But I, the golden-furred dog, accept the challenge!"
"Because..."
"I will not lose!"
Roar!
The lion's roar shattered gold and split stones, tearing through the sky!
The entire Peachtree Garden seemed to darken instantly, the sky turning dim and colorless in an instant.
The lion's roar reverberated, creating ripples in the sky like layers of wrinkles.
In a flash, the air seemed to twist and distort.
It transformed into an invisible air bomb, surging and striking the flapping wings of the suspended Little Dragon King with terrifying speed!
Li Che crossed his arms, his eyes narrowed, and his mind moved slightly.
Instantly, he manipulated the Little Dragon King's wings to dodge the twisted air bomb filled with terrifying explosive power.
Boom!
The air bomb, heavy as lead, slammed into a Peachtree, triggering its restrictions and sending the force of the bomb down to the ground.
A crater with a diameter of hundreds of feet instantly appeared, throwing up clouds of dust as the ground collapsed.
Just as Li Che had used his mind to control the Little Dragon King to dodge the air bomb, the golden-furred dog, transformed into the Golden Lion King, appeared before the Little Dragon King. His speed was almost comparable to teleportation, too fast for the sound of tearing and shattering to catch up!
The golden-furred dog's eyes blazed with fire, and he unleashed a ferocious claw strike, unleashing the full force of his Apex Martial Saint cultivation, capable of destroying heaven and earth!
The Little Dragon King's eyes, like bright orbs, suddenly glowed, and on his tail, countless mechanism seals spun and burst with light.
The golden-furred dog's claw clashed fiercely with the Little Dragon King's tail.
Within the Seven Thousand Year Peachtree Garden.
The ground shook, and the trees swayed violently. The branches of the three-hundred-foot-tall Peachtrees rubbed against each other, creating waves like a vast ocean.
Dust swirled, and the booming sounds continued.
The battle for the Hero's Victory!
The fight begins!
...
...
As the sun gradually set in the west, sinking behind the mountains, the light in the sky dimmed and weakened.
The clouds in the sky stubbornly lingered, releasing their final glow, awaiting the return of dusk.
On the White Jade Square, the evening light grew dimmer and weaker, but the brilliance of the Heavenly River Curtain became even more radiant.
Everyone's attention was fixed on the battle unfolding in the Heavenly River Curtain.
The screen split into two, showing the fights between Li Che and Jade Guanyin, and the golden-furred dog and Jialuo Monk.
The battle between Li Che and Jade Guanyin drew the attention of many.
But no one expected the fight to end so quickly.
Jade Guanyin, from the Southern Sea Bamboo Grove, was extremely mysterious. She was the only hero from the Southern Sea Bamboo Grove, and she managed to advance to the third round of the Hero Competition, earning the qualification to compete for the top spot.
Yet, how could she lose so quickly?
She was forced into a desperate situation by Li Half-Saint's mechanism beast and then defeated with a single axe strike, breaking through her proud defense and ultimately losing the upper hand.
Buzzing—
A divine wave emanated.
Jade Guanyin, with her hair loose and blood-stained white silk fluttering, appeared gracefully in the Jade Square. Her face was slightly pale, and her eyes held a hint of resignation.
She didn't harbor much resentment, seeing her defeat by Li Che as a personal trial. Li Che, with his natural advantage over her, had not only tamed a powerful mechanism beast but also wielded a mysterious black axe capable of slicing through Guan Yin Silk.
The moment the enigmatic axe appeared in Li Che's hands, it signaled his invincibility against her, as her defensive Guan Yin Silk was rendered useless before Li Che's prowess.
As all eyes turned to her, Jade Guanyin shook off the blood on her body and exhaled slowly.
Instantly, Purple Robe Mantis Temple Grandee Lian Gong Gong appeared, offering a high-grade healing pill from the Royal Observatory. Jade Guanyin accepted it with gratitude and took the pill without hesitation.
After her injuries improved, she walked towards the main banquet area of the Southern Sea Bamboo Grove amidst the gazes of many.
The Southern Sea Bamboo Grove's sect leader, Purple Moon Elder, was a dignified woman dressed in white silk, exuding an aura that calmed the hearts of those around her.
"Master, I lost... I lost the Guan Yin Silk, and that purple bamboo... I lost that too." Jade Guanyin's face, tense for so long, finally relaxed upon seeing her master.
As the pride of the Southern Sea Bamboo Grove and a hero of the divine sect, Jade Guanyin was only in her thirties and had never left the grove, making this defeat particularly devastating.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, and logical and emotional, as she spoke.
Purple Moon Elder smiled, gently patting Jade Guanyin, who had nestled close to her like a child.
"It's okay, losing is part of the journey."
"One failure doesn't define us. Our sect has always been at the bottom, and reaching this stage is already an achievement."
Jade Guanyin quickly accepted this, "I couldn't beat him. Li Half-Saint not only excels in mechanisms but also wields a unique black axe that sliced through my Guan Yin Silk..."
"I was shocked. Our sect's Four Imperial Divine Armament, the Guan Yin Silk, was broken by him..."
Jade Guanyin shook her head, "Without the Guan Yin Silk, I'm no match for him."
Purple Moon Elder's eyes flashed, "The black axe that broke the Guan Yin Silk must be related to the Dao. Losing to a hero who understands the Dao isn't shameful."
Hearing this, Jade Guanyin's spirits lifted.
"Li Half-Saint said he borrowed the Guan Yin Silk and will return it. I believe he won't keep it."
"How can you be sure he'll return it?" Purple Moon Elder asked.
"The Guan Yin Silk is clearly designed for women. Li Half-Saint won't use it himself. It's probably for his daughter or wife."
"I think it's more likely for his daughter."
"The Guan Yin Silk can save lives in critical moments. Li Half-Saint's love for his daughter is well-known. He probably borrowed it to ensure her safety."
"His daughter was cursed by the Black Sumeru camp's Temple Deity, suffering the Hell Lotus Curse. If it affects her Divine Embryo, she might be burned by the Hell Lotus Fire, risking death..."
"So, Li Half-Saint borrowed the Guan Yin Silk to give his daughter a chance at survival."
"It's a father's simple and sincere thought."
"What's wrong with a father wanting the best for his daughter?"
Purple Moon Elder, with her wise gaze that saw through the world, smiled softly.
Jade Guanyin was stunned by these words.
"So, when Li Half-Saint says he'll return it, he probably will. And in a few decades, it might come back."
"With Li Half-Saint's daughter, Li Nuan Xi, possessing the formidable talent of a Dragon Leader, if she overcomes the Hell Lotus Curse... in a few decades, she might even have a chance at the Divine Tribulation. By then, the protection of the Guan Yin Silk won't be needed."
Purple Moon Elder explained.
Jade Guanyin's eyes lit up with understanding.
Li Half-Saint...
What a thoughtful father.
A truly good father.
Jade Guanyin's spirits lifted, and she stopped crying, even though Li Che had taken the Guan Yin Silk and the purple bamboo, leaving her feeling empty. She couldn't help but develop a fondness for Li Che.
Jade Guanyin turned her gaze towards the direction of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, curious to see the expressions of heroes like Zhang Xuan Lei.
However, she was surprised to find that Zhang Xuan Lei, Zhang Xuanhe, and Zhang Xuanyu were nowhere to be seen.
"Dead..."
"All dead."
"Killed by Li Half-Saint..."
Purple Moon Elder whispered.
Jade Guanyin was struck with fear, her body stiffening like a statue. A chill ran down her back, dampening her clothes.
Being alive was truly a blessing.
Suddenly, the Jade Square erupted in commotion, with exclamations drawing everyone's attention.
Jade Guanyin couldn't help but look over.
"Jialuo was instantly crushed by the Golden Furred Dog, who has reached the Fourth Opening Martial Saint realm!"
"It's clear now that the competition for the top spot is between the Golden Furred Dog and Li Half-Saint!"
"The Golden Furred Dog from Witch Mountain has reached the Fourth Opening Martial Saint, the height of an Apex Martial Warrior. How can anyone beat that?!"
"To touch the Apex before fifty years old! Among the heroes, there's an Apex Martial Warrior. How can Li Half-Saint win against that?!"
"It's not that bleak. Li Half-Saint's mechanism beast is Half-Step Apex level, comparable to the Apex! There's still a chance to fight!"
"Nonsense! How can a mechanism beast compare to a true Apex Martial Warrior? The difference in agility is immense. A mechanism beast is not a real person!"
...
Shouts, noises, and wails filled the air.
With Jade Guanyin's defeat and the outcome between the Golden Furred Dog and Jialuo decided, the final battle for the hero's top spot fell to Li Che and the Golden Furred Dog.
For the numerous Jianghu cultivators from the Great Jing's eleventh path, the support naturally leaned towards Li Che.
Li Che, with his impeccable background and pure Great Jing heritage, had a well-known rise to fame, inspiring many.
A woodcarver from a remote city in the Lingnan Prefecture, Li Che, had to support his family and single-handedly built a stable life. He rose to his current status, even representing the Great Jing Imperial Family in a competition with the Witch Mountain's cultivators for the top spot.
The Great Jing cultivators, who would they support if not Li Che? Many cultivators who initially criticized Li Che for pursuing Jade Guanyin now fell silent, fearing further rebuke.
At this moment, Li Che was fighting for the Great Jing!
...
...
A colossal figure slammed into the ground with a thunderous boom, unleashing a terrifying force that sent dirt and sand flying, shattered rocks, and incinerated frost grass into nothingness.
The Little Dragon King fell, his four mechanical dragon claws digging into the earth, creating four deep furrows.
However, before he could steady himself, his wings flapped, and sharp as blades, he was struck by a lion's claw.
With a loud bang, he tumbled and rolled like a cannonball.
The true Fourth Opening Martial Saint, the Apex Martial Warrior, possessed strength akin to gods and demons, an unparalleled dominance, and the Golden Furred Dog, with its Golden Lion King bloodline, was even more formidable, surpassing ordinary Fourth Opening Martial Saints.
The Little Dragon King was completely suppressed.
Li Che's ink-black shirt flapped in the wind, his brows furrowed, and his feet firmly planted on the Little Dragon King's head.
Boom, boom, boom, boom—
The air distorted, and countless air-twisted spheres, like stacked voids, bombarded the Little Dragon King, continuously striking Li Che standing atop its head.
The Golden Furred Dog wasn't foolish; it knew that Li Che, the manipulator of the mechanical beast, was the core. Breaking the core and disabling the Little Dragon King, a Half-Step Apex Divine Mechanism Beast, would render Li Che no match for it.
Though straightforward, the Golden Furred Dog was a formidable fighter. Li Che no longer crossed his arms, and his eyes flashed with a peculiar light.
The Golden Furred Dog had just broken through the Apex realm, and it was significantly stronger than ordinary Fourth Opening Martial Saints at the Apex level.
Was this a genius? In fact, any martial artist who could reach the Fourth Opening Martial Saint realm was a genius, but there were still distinctions among geniuses.
Suddenly, Li Che's heart moved, and the Little Dragon King, controlled by him, opened its massive mouth, unleashing a Super Electromagnetic Cannon.
The Lion Roar Air Cannon and the Super Electromagnetic Cannon collided in mid-air, causing a terrifying explosion.
The blast ignited a fire that surged and rolled, with shockwaves spreading in layers.
The entire Seven Thousand Year Peach Orchard seemed to come alive in an instant, triggering the self-protection restrictions of almost every peach tree.
The light flickered, as if they had entered a fantasy forest.
The shockwaves raged, tearing apart the wind and waves. The Golden Lion King, transformed from the Golden Furred Dog, pounced downward, moving through the void like a golden light, with extreme speed.
Like floating golden light, it seemed to fly through the shadows, vanishing and reappearing in front of the Little Dragon King.
The transformed Golden Lion King's size was comparable to the Little Dragon King's, as if two giant beasts were locked in a fierce battle.
The Golden Lion King's target was clear: Li Che, standing atop the Little Dragon King's head.
Li Che raised his hand and touched his brow, causing his Niwan Palace to vibrate and release his divinity.
His divine embryos appeared, and their divinities intertwined and merged, shaking the Triple Integration Heavenly Soul and elevating the Heaven Emulating Earth. It soared to over a hundred zhang in height, reaching two hundred zhang.
This was because Li Che's transformation and growth of his Heavenly Soul had strengthened his Heaven Emulating Earth.
