Chapter 408: Immortal in Painting's Fourth Transformation, Dao Guide, Ten Fiend Ink Pour, Divine Seed Qilin Opens Eight Gates (Part 2)
The Bound Deities were well aware of their master's nature.
However, Gu Chang Qing could only smile bitterly and shake his head, "My lord, the Dao Essence Spirit Crystal... is extremely precious, and it's especially important for Divine Tribulation Cultivators. To break through their cultivation, Divine Tribulation Cultivators must either capture and comprehend the Dao Essence themselves or rely on the Dao Essence Spirit Crystal, as only they can absorb the Dao Essence within."
"Apart from that, not even Half-step Divine Tribulation Cultivators can achieve it."
Hearing this, Li Che couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
However, his eyes soon lit up again...
Divine Tribulation Cultivators possessing the Dao Essence Spirit Crystal...
In other words, Zhao Beidou and Gu Qianchi might have the Dao Essence Spirit Crystal?
What a wonder their Heaven Earth Jade must be!
But Li Che didn't indulge in these thoughts for long; his mind suddenly focused.
"Huff—"
"suck—"
As he inhaled, the world suddenly became incredibly quiet.
In this moment, all of Li Che's distracting thoughts vanished, leaving only the sound of ink-colored rain in Ink City.
"It's here."
Boom—!!!
With a stir of his heart, he instantly fell into the Dao Tree Space.
This wasn't Li Che's first time experiencing the transformation of the fourth metamorphosis of the sixth-rank Dao Fruit.
Thus, he was already familiar with the process.
In the Dao Tree Space, winds and waves intertwined as the Dao Fruit shed its skin, slowly transforming into a scroll.
As the scroll unfurled, a fiercely menacing scene burst forth from within.
The space rippled and exploded with a boom!
Boom—!!!
Li Che's consciousness shattered, and he withdrew from the Dao Tree Space. His eyes opened and closed, and his powerful heart trembled as the fifteen Divine Embryos within him stabilized his emotions.
Vaguely, Li Che felt as if the entire Ink City was shaking violently.
The Bound Deities had long since disappeared, leaving the space quiet and peaceful for Li Che.
Before him, a white glow appeared, signaling the transformation of the Dao Fruit.
Boom—!!!
The prompt continuously gathered before his eyes, and the white, hazy light transformed into dancing characters.
The next moment, Li Che couldn't help but raise his head and look towards the sky above Ink City.
The ink-colored rain suddenly vanished.
Instead, a massive scroll hung across the sky of Ink City.
Swish, swish—
The thick ink flowed like a mighty river.
As the scroll slowly unfurled, Li Che felt his divine essence surging forth, being continuously drawn out and transformed into an ink-colored river, rushing towards the scroll with a booming sound.
Swish—
The scroll opened slightly, revealing a corner.
Li Che raised his head, his eyes sparkling, and instantly saw a ferocious beast pattern appearing within.
It was extremely blurry, but a boundless and fierce aura rushed towards him.
[Dao Guide (Ten Fiend Ink Pour Scroll): Dao Fruit Skin Shedding, Introducing the Dao, Ink Pouring Divine Essence, Ten Fiends Suppressing Heaven]
The Dao Guide mantra slowly emerged before Li Che's eyes.
Li Che's heart couldn't help but tremble.
Ten Fiends Scroll!
Ink Pouring Divine Essence...
The ink poured was divine essence, and the essence being merged was the Bound Deity!
Moreover... it required the essence of a demon!
In other words, if one could find a demon beast that resonated with the Ten Fiends Scroll and bind its essence, they might even gain the power of the Ten Fiends!
Li Che's eyes flickered slightly; he had no idea how powerful the Ten Fiends were...
But from the corner of the unfurled scroll, just the vague image of a ferocious beast was enough to make Li Che feel suffocated, clearly demonstrating the formidable nature of the Ten Fiends Scroll!
After all, it was the Dao Guide!
His heart stirred, and golden light flashed.
Then, a prompt appeared, similar to the Pure Martial and Overheaven Half-Fruit prompts.
[Ten Fiend Ink Pour Scroll: None]
Hmm.
It meant that the Ten Fiends hadn't been fully painted yet.
"Just right... my newly awakened Dao Fruit, the Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons, also needs to be tested on demons."
Li Che exhaled.
The Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons Dao Fruit, though newly awakened, was still in its infancy.
However, Li Che had no idea how to enhance its maturity.
He hadn't even found a demon to test it on.
Hmm?
Suddenly, Li Che thought of something.
He thought of the Dragon King Prince and the powerful beings of the Dragon King Clan...
Did they count as demons?
Did the Golden Furry Dog count as a demon?
Li Che's eyes lit up slightly.
The Dragon King Clan was somewhat similar to the Golden Furry Dog, as they could transform between human and demon forms.
It was more like a power within their bloodline; both the Golden Furry Dog and the Dragon King Prince possessed demon bloodlines!
Li Che suddenly understood, and he found a way to study the Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons Dao Fruit.
Rumble—
After the Immortal in Painting's fourth Dao Fruit shedding, the entire Ink City underwent another transformation.
Li Che's control over Ink City became even more formidable, and he gained an additional suppressing power.
When enemies entered Ink City and were drenched by the ink rain, their aura, divine essence, and other attributes would be weakened.
For Li Che, this was good news; a weakened enemy meant an indirect boost to his strength.
His heart stirred, and a radiant light appeared before him.
[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV6, 90%)]
Li Che's eyes sparkled with determination.
"The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit... After the fourth shedding, its maturity has reached 90%. Perhaps it will become the first Dao Fruit to reach LV7!"
Li Che's heart couldn't help but feel eager.
The significant increase in maturity was inseparable from the exhilarating battle he had just experienced.
Although he had only killed a clone of Ji Mo Li, due to the clone's unique feedback, he gained a substantial amount of maturity.
"This Ji Mo Li... Could it be that every time I kill him, I gain a significant amount of maturity? If I capture Ji Mo Li and keep killing him, wouldn't I become an existence that exploits a loophole?"
Li Che quickly shook his head.
Upon learning that Ji Mo Li's rebirths were achieved by sacrificing countless lives, Li Che only wanted to completely crush him!
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit's enhancement meant Li Che had gained more enlightenment feedback...
Li Che exhaled sharply.
His muscles tensed, and powerful golden essence erupted from within him.
"The Plain-Clothed Imperial Tutor, Xie Yun Shen, has set up camp eight hundred li away. Although he can't perceive the depth of Qianyuan due to the Bound Deity, he will undoubtedly summon more powerful beings..."
"With Xie Yun Shen's temperament, he always likes to keep a trump card. Most likely, he will invite more Divine Tribulation Cultivators for stability!"
"Can Xie Yun Shen invite other Divine Tribulation Cultivators?"
Li Che shook his head.
This Plain-Clothed Imperial Tutor, who could speak the Dao, would surely have other Divine Tribulation Cultivators willing to act for him.
Just like this time, the Dragon Tiger Divine Sect Patriarch and the Bashu Sword Pavilion Patriarch were summoned...
"But the Qianyuan Divine Sect only has one Patriarch."
Li Che's essence trembled, and his spine roared like a dragon, with terrifying essence vortices manifesting along his spine.
The position of the eighth Mystic Gate was also locked in, slowly emerging.
"The pressure is indeed there."
"Time..."
"Every second counts!"
"I must be faster than them!"
"As long as..."
"As long as I can slay a Divine Tribulation Cultivator, I can break through this predicament!"
Li Che's eyes shone like two million-watt light bulbs, emitting intensely hot light.
He took out Gu Chang Qing's Heaven Earth Jade and instantly broke it open, retrieving the treasure within.
However, after a glance, Li Che's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
There was one San Qing Divine Essence Crystal, but not a single top-tier Quadruple Sovereign Upper Rank Essence Pill, which was what Li Che desired.
This didn't quite meet Li Che's expectations.
Li Che planned to boost the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit to LV7 with some external assistance.
He snapped his fingers, and a black Bound Deity chess piece instantly expanded in the storm, transforming into a respectful Gu Chang Qing.
"Are you a Divine Essence Master Alchemist? Can you refine a Quadruple Sovereign Upper Rank Essence Pill?"
Li Che asked.
"Gu Chang Qing was taken aback by the request, but a look of eager servitude immediately appeared on his face: 'Master, I will take care of it.'"
"Good. Make a list of the materials you need and give it to me. I'll gather the resources, and you can refine the essence pill..."
"Refine the Quadruple Sovereign Upper Rank Essence Pill to perfection and provide them all to me!" Li Che said in a low voice.
He intended to use the essence pill to boost his qi and blood, enhancing his martial cultivation.
Ascending the mountain also required the assistance of qi and blood, and their accumulation!
Gu Chang Qing dared not delay. As a Bound Deity, he naturally possessed the awareness of one.
He swiftly wrote down the resources required to refine the Quadruple Sovereign Upper Rank Essence Pill that he had mastered.
After Li Che obtained the resources, he left Ink City Fengdu.
He personally went to find Fang Hanshu.
"Do you need these alchemy materials?"
Fang Hanshu's eyes narrowed slightly, showing surprise.
"Within the sect, do we have a stockpile of Quadruple Sovereign Upper Rank Essence Pills?" Li Che asked.
Fang Hanshu shook his head, "The Quadruple Sovereign Upper Rank Essence Pill can only be refined by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau and Tiandan Divine Sect. The Heaven Origin Divine Sect is not skilled in alchemy, so naturally, they don't have any in stock..."
"However, gathering the materials you need shouldn't be difficult."
"I'll have them ready in three days."
Fang Hanshu replied.
It was rare for Li Che to make a request, and regardless of what he intended to do with these resources, given Li Che's status as a Divine Carving Master, this investment was worth it.
Seeing the items Li Che had prepared, it seemed he was planning to refine essence pills.
Could Li Che refine pills?
Most likely not, how could a Divine Carving Master know alchemy?
This was a huge leap to take.
However, Fang Hanshu didn't ask further and simply agreed to prepare the items for Li Che.
After Li Che completed the transaction with Fang Hanshu, he returned to Ink City.
Standing in the city, the wind howled.
Li Che looked up, his black and robust hair flying wildly.
Boom, boom, boom—
His heart thundered, powerful and mighty! Within his chest, the realization of the Lion Elephant Vajra Fruit resonated, like a punctured water balloon, the inner flow of energy burst forth!
In an instant, Li Che's eyes turned golden, and he entered a state of profound enlightenment, transcending the mundane world.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
An extremely sharp sword light suddenly shot up from behind him.
The Six Desires Pure Yang Sword! The sword light trembled.
It was like the sound of a bird's cry bursting open, the sound of countless sword lights clashing!
In an instant, the sword light split into six, resembling a peacock's six-colored divine feathers!
The realization of the Lion Elephant Vajra Fruit intertwined in his mind.
Li Che spread his arms, his eyes intertwining with golden lightning, dazzling and brilliant!
An increasingly formidable aura emanated from his physical body, shaking and spreading.
Li Che's entire body glowed, every orifice blooming with golden light.
Taking advantage of this rare realization, Li Che planned to attempt something extremely bold—to transfer the Immortal Seed Martial Art, Kirin Town Void Seal, which he had obtained when Xi Xi was seven years old, into the eighth mystic gate that he had located!
With his fingers clenched, his muscles bulging, his spine roared like a dragon!
Seven golden qi and blood vortices appeared, hovering like the most brilliant stars in the night sky!
With each vortex's appearance, a terrifyingly powerful force seemed to build up in a step-like expansion!
Crack, crack, crack...
The physical body, with a pure martial purity of 96%, became dazzlingly brilliant at this moment, glowing with golden light!
It was as if countless fine cracks had appeared all over the body, even on the fingertips, resembling cracks in porcelain.
Crash—
Seven chains appeared out of thin air, dancing wildly in the heavens!
Li Che was extremely cold, and in his state of realization, he was incredibly lucid!
Countless meridians appeared on his physical body, like the veins of the earth.
Each node resembled a constructed dam, releasing a torrent of energy, surging with formidable power!
Buzz, buzz—
Li Che's entire body of qi and blood seemed to be mobilized, enveloped by an extremely terrifying force, and in an instant, it surged into his head.
The realization feedback was consumed at a rapid pace as he simulated the Immortal Seed Martial Art.
He didn't know how much time had passed...
Behind Li Che, the golden qi and blood gathered in the Lion Elephant Vajra Furnace exploded!
It was as if a loud cry burst forth.
It was as if an illusory golden qilin rose into the sky, trampling the void, causing it to distort slightly!
Li Che's eyes shone with golden light, and with a fierce clap of his five-fingered palm, it was as if the qilin had returned to its nest, leaping and transforming into an intensely blazing pillar of light that penetrated his spine.
It was as if it had pierced through one orifice after another!
Seeking and locking onto that located...
The eighth mystic gate!
Pouring in with full force!
Clap, clap, clap, clap—
A terrifying blast resounded through Li Che's physical body, as if countless bones were cracking simultaneously.
Rich, robust, and mighty qi and blood overturned heaven and earth in an instant!
The eighth mystic gate, the eighth node of the human body's mystic gates!
An extremely important node location!
A location that existed only in legends!
Officially transferring!
Eight gates—
Open!!!
