Chapter 404: Rebirth as Brothers in the City of Hell, My Loyal Tian Can Di Que Betrayed Me

Chapter 404: Rebirth as Brothers in the City of Hell, My Loyal Tian Can Di Que Betrayed Me

Ink City was reduced to ruins.

Li Che wore a black and white divided King of Hell mask, his jet-black hair dancing wildly, stained with golden vital energy. Behind him hung an enormous furnace, emitting a terrifying aura.

He seemed like a mythical figure who had chased after the scorching sun, bearing its weight on his back. His vital energy was so intense it was almost terrifying, resembling the might of a Dragon King's procession.

Compared to before, Ink City had become much more resilient and sturdy. However, when faced with a Half-step Divine Warrior-level battle, it still couldn't withstand the pressure, as if it was about to be blown away completely.

Li Che's eyes remained unmoved, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.

His black robe fluttered in the wind, his body swelling with power. His muscles pulsed, like an inflated balloon, and his bones vibrated beneath his skin like coiling dragons. With just a slight movement, he unleashed a sound akin to the explosive crack of a taut bowstring being released.

The scorching vital energy surged and twisted the air around him, radiating an unmatched aura of indomitable strength.

"Huff—"

"Suck—"

Beneath the mask, Li Che's lips parted, and with each breath, the vital energy within his body surged like the ebb and flow of the tides.

"Finally... I've found the location of the eighth Mysterious Door Divine Seed."

A slight smile lifted the corners of Li Che's lips, and his heart relaxed.

The eighth Mysterious Door Divine Seed had been the most challenging for Li Che, even failing to locate it within his spinal column.

Each Mysterious Door was like a locked shackle, and once opened, it would cause a person's vital energy to surge and expand explosively.

Therefore, Li Che wasn't surprised that the eighth seed had been difficult to find.

"However, even after locating it, drawing the eighth seed into the Mysterious Door isn't an easy task."

Li Che's eyes narrowed.

The eighth seed was the Lu Xuan Sword Immortal's Six Desire Evil Extermination Pure Yang Sword Art, a sword technique that could alternate between pure martial arts and divine martial arts.

Li Che had already mastered the Transformation Realm, elevating it to the level of Transforming Deity True Martial.

However, as a Transforming Deity, drawing the seed into the Mysterious Door would be even more challenging.

"Forget it... Let's deal with today's battle first."

Li Che felt a sense of relief, a feeling of direction for the future.

His confusion was torn away, revealing a clear path.

"Tian Can Di Que was killed by me, and they were sensible enough to submit completely. Moreover, they are quite interesting..."

His eyes flickered beneath the mask.

After being besieged, Tian Can Di Que's death was inevitable, their bodies exploding with blood and flesh splattering everywhere.

Together, they were invincible, but separated, they became somewhat weak.

At least, after separating, Li Che was confident he could kill either of them within three punches, as they could no longer utilize the power of a Half-step Divine Warrior to withstand the pressure of the Heaven's Might.

"It seems that as my strength increases, the likelihood of these Bound Deities submitting also rises. Most of them are sensible enough, and few dare to resist..."

This situation pleased Li Che.

"As long as they are enemies, they will be reborn as brothers within the City of Hell."

He smiled lightly.

Then, a torrent of murderous intent erupted.

He... hadn't had enough killing!

Li Che took a step forward, his entire body resembling a cannonball as he tore through Ink City and burst out of the city.

The black rain continued to pour down, enhancing the ripening process of the Immortal in Painting's divine fruit.

...

...

Boom!!!

In mid-air, a terrifying aura erupted, like a giant wave, constantly boiling and forming white foam that spread in rings.

Tian Can Di Que glared with fury, and after leaving the City of Hell, they spat out blood, their faces contorted with rage.

Their Half-step Divine Warrior shadows stretched across the sky.

At the same time, in the City of Hell.

The King of Hell burst out, his five fingers clenched into a fist, and the furnace poured out, colliding with Tian Can Di Que.

The air was like a calm lake into which a large stone had been thrown, constantly undulating and surging.

Ji Mo Li, while fighting with Li Taibai, kept a close eye on the situation in Ink City.

When Fang Hanshu displayed the Vast River of Righteousness, reaching the level of a Half-step Divine Tribulation, it had a profound impact on the outcome of this great battle.

So, Ji Mo Li could only hope for the situation within Ink City.

When Tian Can Di Que was pulled into Ink City, Ji Mo Li's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Tian Can Di Que would die within.

If the other side gained a Half-step Divine Tribulation while they lost a Half-step Divine Warrior's power, it would be a devastating blow.

So, when Ji Mo Li saw Tian Can Di Que and Yellow Eyebrow, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Additionally, Ji Mo Li felt a hint of regret.

It seemed that Yellow Eyebrow, the Great Mage of Little Spirit Sound Temple, was not a Half-step Divine Tribulation after all, and he hadn't mastered the Three Calamity Dao Essence Tribulation Power.

Otherwise, when pulled into the City of Hell, Yellow Eyebrow couldn't have hidden his cultivation and would have had to reveal it.

But when Yellow Eyebrow was forced out, his aura remained at the peak of the Absolute Apex.

Ji Mo Li made this judgment.

"This way, my cooperation with Yellow Eyebrow will be even more advantageous."

Ji Mo Li's eyes flashed.

Boom!!!

He shook the umbrella in his hand, and countless umbrellas appeared in an instant, exploding in the sky above, releasing countless Dragon Shadows in a flash.

Li Taibai's blood and flesh burst open, and he drew the Dao Essence Tribulation Sword, clashing with Ji Mo Li's attack like a green wind blowing.

The two clashed fiercely once again.

Neither was willing to back down, and they gradually felt the urge to unleash their true power.

Li Taibai felt immense pressure and struggled.

Ji Moli, the true powerhouse, was indeed superior to Lu Taibai, who could only manage to hold him off.

On the other side, Yellow Eyebrow also burst out of Ink City Fengdu, his two long eyebrows drooping as if devoid of strength. "Elder Tian Can and Elder Di Que, hold off the Netherworld King!"

His calm expression vanished, and he wiped the blood from his lips.

The golden Buddha image behind him seemed to be covered in countless fine cracks, as if about to shatter.

Yellow Eyebrow seemed startled and showed signs of retreat.

"This poor monk will go assist the other patrons first!"

With a flick of his long eyebrows, he clasped his palms together, his eyes kind and compassionate.

As his words fell, he took a step forward and glided away into the distance.

Upon hearing this, Elder Tian Can immediately cursed, "Damn bald donkey! Don't run! Let's deal with the Netherworld King together!"

But Yellow Eyebrow kept running without looking back, so Elder Tian Can and Elder Di Que had no choice but to abandon the Netherworld King and chase after Yellow Eyebrow, intending to drag him back into the battlefield.

For a moment, the situation seemed somewhat bizarre.

Yellow Eyebrow, sensing the pursuit behind him, had a slight change in his expression. He glanced back at Ji Moli, who was effortlessly suppressing Lu Taibai in combat.

"Prince Consort of Pacifying Anomalies, this poor monk is here to assist you!"

Yellow Eyebrow tapped his foot, and a radiant Buddha light spread out beneath him, making him glide like an ice skater across the night sky towards Ji Moli.

Elder Tian Can and Elder Di Que also gave chase, the Netherworld King's eyes burning with golden flames. Behind him, the Dragon Elephant Fusion Furnace roared, and his aura was unmatched!

Ji Moli narrowed his eyes, his keen senses detecting something amiss.

However, when Lu Taibai saw Yellow Eyebrow approaching, he let out a cold laugh.

"Yellow Eyebrow... you dare to come! Today, I, the Supreme Leader, will kill you! The evil deeds you, the Little Spirit Sound Temple's Heretic Buddha, committed in Xiling Circuit have made me very displeased!"

"You dare to interfere in a Half-step Divine Tribulation combat!"

Humm—

The sword intent roared!

Lu Taibai's sword trembled, its silver blade shimmering. Like a river of sword energy, it plummeted, carrying with it a terrifying God Annihilating Wind!

But a spear as majestic as a divine dragon stretched out, its umbrella-like tip expanding. The spear's light rained down like stars, and black Nether Flame burned in the void, clashing and eroding the God Annihilating Wind!

Ji Moli took action, blocking this move for Yellow Eyebrow.

Lu Taibai shouted, "Ji Moli, scram!"

He shook his sword, and the sword energy tore through the sky, aiming at Yellow Eyebrow, who looked somewhat aggrieved.

Yellow Eyebrow, enraged, slammed his palms together, unleashing a golden Buddha light that covered the sky. However, Lu Taibai easily tore through it with a shake of his sword, and with a single slash, he exploded it!

"That's all?" Lu Taibai said with a faint smile.

"Weak, too weak!"

Huff, huff, huff—

"Your opponent is me." Ji Moli appeared, his entire body clad in obsidian black armor, his eyes shining with a dazzling Vital Energy glow beneath his mask!

Boom!!!

The umbrella spear stretched out, seemingly about to crush and shatter the void!

Yellow Eyebrow's face turned pale, and his two long eyebrows drooped. He staggered backward, watching Ji Moli, who had blocked Lu Taibai's lethal attack, with a glint in his eyes.

He seemed eager to take action, wanting to strike.

The sensation of being stabbed from behind had made Yellow Eyebrow gradually grow fond of it.

"Don't take action."

Suddenly, the Bound Deity soul echoed in his ears, Li Che's voice making Yellow Eyebrow tremble.

He seemed puzzled, wondering why the Lord wouldn't let him take action. But Li Che didn't explain, and Yellow Eyebrow didn't dare ask for clarification. Instead, he suppressed his excitement and continued to retreat.

Meanwhile, Lu Taibai, who was now fully engaged in combat with Ji Moli, was perplexed.

He had provided Yellow Eyebrow with such favorable conditions, yet... why was Yellow Eyebrow still exploding?!

Boom!!!

The Vital Energy Furnace and the Half-step Divine Warrior Shadow collided, creating a terrifying shockwave.

Elder Tian Can and Elder Di Que bled incessantly, and the Half-step Divine Warrior Shadow gradually became blurred.

They cursed at Yellow Eyebrow, trying to drag him into the fight against the Netherworld King.

Due to Yellow Eyebrow's position, right behind Ji Moli, Elder Tian Can and Elder Di Que rushed over, constantly attacking from behind.

The Netherworld King also charged forward.

In an instant, this area of the night sky became the battleground for four Half-step Divine Tribulation and Half-step Divine Warrior powerhouses!

The formidable pressure of their ranks clashed, and their Vital Energy collided with tremendous force!

Boom!!!

The Half-step Divine Warrior Shadow formed by Elder Tian Can and Elder Di Que shook unceasingly, clashing with the Netherworld King's punch. The Vital Energy from the Furnace surged, creating a tumultuous wave!

Pfft!

The two elders' bodies shook, and they spat out more blood!

"Damn it! The power of the combined technique, the Half-step Divine Warrior, is indeed inferior to the genuine Half-step Divine Warrior!"

"Damn it! Prince Consort, help us! Otherwise, we'll be killed!"

"If we're killed, this Mountain-Cleaving Sect-Destroying War will be over!"

Elder Tian Can and Elder Di Que wiped away their blood and manipulated the Half-step Divine Warrior Shadow to fight the Netherworld King!

They were forced to retreat!

The Half-step Divine Warrior Shadow gradually became blurred.

Ji Moli gripped the umbrella spear, his brows furrowed. With a sudden clench of his fist, he thrust a punch, and in an instant, Nether Flame wrapped around his fist. He smashed it towards the Netherworld King!

Li Che's gaze intensified, and in his chest, the Lightning Magnetic Body, the Dao fruit, throbbed!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

Countless black golden thunders shone, the Celestial Thunder!

Transforming into Prison Thunder, it struck Ji Moli's fist!

"You want to seal this king?!"

Ji Moli coldly laughed, and within that punch, countless dragon shadows burst out, frantically slamming into the Prison Thunder. The Nether Flame wrapped around the dragon shadows, shattering the Prison Thunder!

"Celestial Thunder? So, you've mastered one of the three calamities, the Celestial Thunder... but it's just the tip of the iceberg."

Ji Moli could sense that the Netherworld King's control over the Celestial Thunder was merely superficial.

Even the Dao position has not been found.

Such a Netherworld King, not to be feared!

However, the Netherworld King's physical body is extremely powerful, and his cultivation is purely martial, which Ji Moli has recognized, and it is an extremely profound pure martial art!

Pure martial arts, able to cultivate to such a degree, are indeed rare in the world!

Even during the time when the Temple of Mystery was not yet established, there were very few who could cultivate pure martial arts to such a high level.

Boom—!!!

The Dragon Elephant Furnace flew horizontally, colliding with Ji Moli's fist that had just shattered the Dragon Elephant Furnace.

A loud 'dong' reverberated, as if an ancient bell atop a mountain peak was being struck hard.

The sound waves shook, transmitting for thousands of miles!

The sky seemed to explode, and the vast and fiery vital energy was like a thick fog, rolling and spreading out!

They were completely caught in the midst of a chaotic battle!

...

...

Bang—!!!

A copper mirror-like divine weapon completely dimmed, losing its divine radiance, and becoming scrap metal, smashed into four or five pieces!

Ning Cai Shen's expression turned extremely ugly, as he had many divine weapons, but he was no match for the mysterious top-tier absolute apex expert from the Netherworld before him, who fought without regard for his life.

Exploding all the Mysterious Door Divine Seeds, staking his life, he was completely prepared to die.

From the beginning until now, Ning Cai Shen had been beaten up, and he didn't want to fight with a madman.

Instead, Gu Cheng from Bashu Sword Pavilion, his sword intent soaring, his battle intent surging, was evenly matched with Zhu Que Sha.

However, facing Zhu Que, who was detonating his divine seeds without regard for his life, Gu Cheng gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Injuries began to appear on his body, and this made Gu Cheng suddenly realize that he couldn't continue like this!

As for Zhao Chun Qiu, located in the Divine Dao of the Divine Sect, had been suppressed by the court for a lifetime, and his back had never straightened, and now it immediately drooped.

The three top-tier absolute apex experts had already started thinking of escape plans.

Mainly, after Bai Bu Yi's death...

Fang Hanshu stood atop the Vast River of Righteousness, his gaze fixed on their bodies.

Fortunately.

It seemed that Fang Hanshu's target was not them.

This bearded scholar's long beard fluttered in the wind, and his gaze swept over, landing on Xie Yun Shen's body on the war ship.

"Kill the king first, then the soldiers..."

"But..."

Fang Hanshu did not immediately take action.

Because he was a scholar, and Xie Yun Shen was also a scholar, and between scholars, a kind of resonance seemed to be produced.

Fang Hanshu felt that since Xie Yun Shen dared to come to suppress the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, he really only brought these powerhouses?

The Qian Yuan Divine Sect...

But there is an Ancestor Patriarch!

That Ancestor Patriarch has never said that he is dead!

In fact, it should be said that all the Divine Sects...

Have an Ancestor Patriarch of the Divine Tribulation Realm sitting in town!

So...

Are Xie Yun Shen's trump cards really just these people?

Tiandan Ancient Chang Qing, Seven Treasures Ning Cai Shen, Dragon Tiger Zhao Chun Qiu, Vast Sage Academy Bai Bu Yi, Sword Pavilion Gu Cheng...

Just these five Divine Sect leaders?

Plus one more, the Pacifying Chaos Princess Ji Moli.

Is this the lineup?!!!

No...

Divine Tribulation?

Fang Hanshu hovered in the air, the Vast River of Righteousness surging endlessly, one after another page filled with messy handwriting floated around him, each page sharp like a blade.

The Confucian robe fluttering in the wind, the beard dancing with the breeze.

His gaze collided with Xie Yun Shen's in mid-air.

Xie Yun Shen's loose robe continuously struck the air, his feather fan gently swaying with composure.

And Ning An, the sword-wielding guard beside him, could barely stand...

Supreme Advisor, it's too dangerous!

In front, Horse Face aimed his terrifying weapon, a mechanical signal rocket, but did not fire.

There was also another half-step Divine Tribulation expert, who mastered the Vast River of Righteousness, a Sage Scholar...

In this attack on the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, who was suppressing whom?!!!

Xie Yun Shen gently shook his feather fan, his gaze profound, facing the pressure in his loose robe, yet showing no change in expression.

"Kill the king first, then the soldiers... But..."

Xie Yun Shen smiled faintly, calmly planning.

As for why Horse Face Li Che didn't fire...

He also guessed the reason.

Waiting for the trump cards on their side to make a move!

Between Divine Tribulations, whoever takes the first move will face the suppression of the will of heaven and earth, and the one who moves later will naturally have the advantage.

Li Che should have also guessed this...

"Li Che wants to kill me, he wants to deliver a fatal blow... So, he's waiting for all the trump cards behind us to be revealed before he fires this shot."

Xie Yun Shen spoke calmly.

Li Che wants to wait for the Divine Tribulation behind him to make a move before firing.

Otherwise, Li Che's fatal shot might be blocked.

So...

"This Li Half-Saint is truly extraordinary. He has great confidence in the Netherworld, believing that the power of the Netherworld can slowly suppress us, forcing us to reveal our final trump card."

Xie Yun Shen spoke in a deep voice.

Ning An was covered in sweat, gripping his long sword, "But Supreme Advisor... the current situation is indeed like this!"

"We've lost two Divine Sect leaders, and the remaining three Divine Sect leaders are also struggling to hold on..."

Xie Yun Shen shook his head.

His gaze turned to the Grand Canal.

"Dragon King Prince, make your move."

"Great Jing will remember the contributions and support of the Dragon King Clan."

Xie Yun Shen said.

His words ended.

Below the Grand Canal, a narrow, long water column erupted, shooting into the sky.

This attracted Fang Hanshu's gaze.

"The Dragon King Clan?"

Indeed, as the water receded, the sound of rushing water echoed.

A figure appeared, with dragon scales shimmering below his neck, and his powerful vital energy reverberated!

"Dragon King Prince, Ao Fa!"

Fang Hanshu narrowed his eyes.

His purple hair fluttered, and his neck was adorned with shimmering dragon scales.

It was the first son of the Dragon King Clan, the Dragon King Prince Ao Fa, ranked ninth at the Heavenly Gate.

The title was Dragon King Prince!

"Even you've come, it seems... the Dragon King Clan is determined to stake everything on this."

"Let me guess, the reason your Dragon Deity Clan is so desperately supporting Ji Moli and cooperating with the Great Jing court is because your clan wants to come ashore?"

Fang Hanshu spoke.

The Dragon King Prince clenched his five fingers, and a trident appeared in his hand. He sighed, "Yes, we want to come ashore... Nowadays, the sea is filled with more and more Mystic Demon Caves, and countless Demon Emperors are appearing from the Deceptive Pavilion. My Dragon Deity Clan... can't hold on any longer."

Fang Hanshu sneered, "Your Dragon Deity Clan... aren't you also part of the Demon race?"

"Instead of coexisting peacefully with the Demon race, you come to fight for territory with the Human race?"

"Are you eyeing Qianyuan as your Dragon Deity Clan's future breeding ground?"

The Dragon King Prince shook his head, not saying much, but his meaning was clear.

With one hand gripping the trident, he slowly raised his other hand, and in an instant, a dragon pearl emitting a mighty dragon aura appeared in his palm.

Within the dragon pearl, a terrifying demonic energy was contained.

"The Dragon Emperor Pearl?!"

Fang Hanshu's eyes narrowed.

The Dragon King Prince swallowed the Dragon Emperor Pearl, and as his aura rose, the terrifying demonic energy raged and surged. With just one step forward, he appeared before Fang Hanshu.

The trident swept out, and the space seemed to tear with cracks!

With the help of the Dragon Emperor Pearl, the Dragon King Prince had already reached the level of a Half-step Demon Emperor!

Boom!

The Vast River of Righteousness churned and roared, causing the river to surge a thousand feet high!

On the other side, three Dragon King shadows soared into the sky, intertwining and then erupting with terrifying auras.

Fang Hanshu was familiar with this scene, similar to the Four Symbols Mystic Guards' combined technique from the Great Jing!

Fang Hanshu's expression turned slightly troubled.

So steady and composed?

Xie Yun Shen, in preparation to deal with the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect... had actually prepared so many trump cards!

Not only Half-step Divine Warrior and Half-step Divine Tribulation levels of power, but also four Half-step Divine Tribulation powerhouses!

Xie Yun Shen's eyes flickered with uncertainty.

Did Xie Yun Shen prepare a Divine Tribulation powerhouse?

As for whether Xie Yun Shen had prepared a Divine Tribulation Realm powerhouse, Fang Hanshu was quite certain!

Boom!

"All of you, get over here!"

Fang Hanshu's scholar robes fluttered, and his eyes gleamed with a scholar's wrath!

He had actually blocked the Half-step Dragon God Shadow formed by the Dragon King Prince and the three Dragon King shadows!

...

A loud commotion instantly erupted.

Whether it was the Qianyuan Dao City or the Grand Canal with its numerous warships, the court's powerful cultivators were all in a difficult situation.

Their expressions turned extremely ugly!

Within Qianyuan Dao City, Zhao Fangzhou and Feng Zhiqi, the powerful cultivators, were extremely tense.

They had thought they had gained the upper hand and blocked the court's offensive.

However, the court had another two Half-step Divine Warrior-level powerhouses!

How could they fight now?!

If they continued to drag out the battle, the court would have an additional Half-step Divine Warrior powerhouse, which the Great Elder might not be able to stop.

If they held out for too long, the court would definitely find an opening.

At this moment, when everyone's attention was drawn to the battle between Fang Hanshu, the Dragon King Prince, and the Half-step Dragon God Shadow...

Suddenly, they heard a roar that seemed to shatter the heavens!

The deafening sound was like an extremely sharp blade, fiercely tearing through the sky!

Within the roar, there was a mix of shock and disbelief!

Everyone's eardrums buzzed, their minds went blank, and their blood seemed to boil in confusion.

Feng Zhiqi, Zhao Fangzhou, Hong Shi Fo, and others looked in the direction of the four Half-step Divine Tribulation powerhouses clashing!

For a moment...

They were stunned speechless.

On the Obsidian Spirit Wood Warship.

Xie Yun Shen stabilized the situation with a gentle wave of his feather fan, and a gentle breeze brushed their faces. He knew that if they continued to delay, the court would definitely gain the upper hand.

Ning Cai Shen, Bai Bu Yi, and Lu Taibai struggled to hold on, sustaining injuries.

However, the Underworld's mysterious power was unleashed in a suicidal manner, occupying this advantage.

The three of them could only defend and delay.

This self-destruct method was not sustainable.

Once the Underworld power was exhausted, and their divine energy and divine nature depleted, it would be the time for the three Divine Sect leaders to counterattack.

Nevertheless...

A furious roar tore through the dark clouds, ripping apart the cloud currents!

The sky seemed to shatter, and the countless snowflakes evaporated!

Xie Yun Shen's eyes flickered with uncertainty.

His heart raced with unease.

He turned and looked in the direction of the roar.

This roar...

Belonged to the Pacifying Chaos Princess, Ji Moli!

"Impossible!!!"

However...

At this sight, Xie Yun Shen, who had always been calm and collected, now had his carefully calculated expression break, revealing a hideous look, and his eyes filled with bloodshot veins!

Because...

The Elder Sky and Elder Earth...

Their gazes turned.

The sky seemed to shatter, filled with terrifying turbulence and intertwining chaos!

The Elder Sky and Elder Earth were clearly fighting side by side with Ji Moli, and Ji Moli was even bearing the brunt of the pressure, holding off Lu Taibai and the Nether King's fierce offensive.

Nevertheless...

The two elders were actually fighting alongside Ji Moli as she clashed with the Nether King and Lu Taibai!

The somewhat illusory Half-step Divine Warrior Shadow suddenly solidified.

It even erupted with a terrifying aura, and the Elder Sky and Elder Earth simultaneously detonated all their Mysterious Door Divine Seeds!

Then...

The Demon Elephant's hoof fiercely swept out, and the Divine Warrior's eye erupted with a terrifying penetrating death light!

The Half-step Divine Warrior's power was unleashed!

Boom!

The attack slammed into Ji Moli's body!

Xie Yun Shen's body trembled, and he felt like he was about to collapse, with a stabbing pain in his chest and a sense of the world collapsing.

Damn!

He had been so loyal...

The Elder Sky and Elder Earth!

Had betrayed him!
