Chapter 412: Borrowing Dajing's Fortune Lotus, I Am Invincible in the Divine Realm

Chapter 412: Borrowing Dajing's Fortune Lotus, I Am Invincible in the Divine Realm

Boom!

A terrifying explosion rocked the heavens and earth, unleashing a raging storm of destruction. The shockwaves manifested as a tangible white torrent, howling and raging in all directions.

Brilliant and radiant, a mushroom cloud soared into the sky, reaching thousands of feet high.

The golden mushroom cloud illuminated the night, turning it as bright as day.

Even the direction of Qianyuan Dao City was aware of this phenomenon.

Whoosh!

The sound of breaking through the air echoed, and figures swiftly rose into the sky from within the Dao City.

Astonishment filled their faces.

Looking at the sky that seemed to have transformed from night to day, they felt a chill run down their spines.

Something terrible had happened!

A massive mushroom cloud, like an enraged dragon emerging from the abyss, roared and charged towards the sky. Even from a distance of 800 li, they could sense the scorching heat waves carried by the wind, filled with destructive energy and overwhelming power.

"It's the Netherworld's Mechanized Fire Mushroom!" exclaimed Yu Wen Wenlong in shock.

Hong Shi Fo, holding a chessboard, flew up to the city wall.

Within the Divine Sect.

Figures burst through the air.

The Second Elder, Zhao Fangzhou, and the Third Elder, Ding Zi, both Martial Saints and Divine Embryos, had solemn expressions.

The Martial Saint Divine Embryo ancestors of the various aristocratic families also appeared, their faces filled with horror.

Golden Lion shadow appeared, directly boosting their confidence!

Why? Because they weren't fools. Sensing the terrifying power of the mushroom cloud, they understood the devastating force it possessed for an army.

Even more terrifying than the Tang family's Mechanized Beasts!

And this power was in the hands of the Qianyuan Divine Sect!

Didn't this mean that in this war...

The Qianyuan Divine Sect still had a chance!

They might not necessarily lose!

A single mushroom cloud!

It had energized everyone in Qianyuan Dao City!

A hope...

That was born from this explosion!

...

...

A faint gaze spanned thirty feet and landed on Xie Yun Shen.

Around Xie Yun Shen, a hazy glow wove a protective shield, helping him withstand the terrifying aftermath.

As the Grand Master of Dajing, although his cultivation was ordinary, his high status made him a person the Emperor deeply trusted.

Thus, the Emperor bestowed upon him a life-saving divine armament.

Moreover, with the two top-tier Absolute Apex experts, Tian Can Di Que and Tian Men Guan, joining forces, they could unleash a terrifying power akin to a Half-Step Martial God.

Xie Yun Shen's safety was almost guaranteed.

Many in this world wanted Xie Yun Shen dead.

Xie Yun Shen had assisted the court in suppressing various divine sects, and his actions had weakened the sects' influence in the realm.

Consequently, this wasn't Xie Yun Shen's first assassination attempt; he had faced too many.

However, this time was different...

This assassination made Xie Yun Shen truly feel death approaching.

"The Netherworld... King Yama!" Xie Yun Shen took a deep breath.

He hadn't expected...

The Netherworld would choose such an unexpected method!

With Zhao Bei Dou, a Divine Tribulation Cultivator, protecting his safety, the Qianyuan Divine Sect would need to deploy two Divine Tribulation experts to carry out such an assassination.

Yet, up to this point, the Qianyuan Divine Sect's Grandmaster hadn't even shown his face, and Xie Yun Shen was already in peril.

The Netherworld had chosen an extremely dirty and underhanded tactic!

They had taken Zhao Bei Dou away!

A breach of martial etiquette!

Where they had taken him was no longer important. For Xie Yun Shen, facing the Netherworld's King Yama, he stood at the brink of death.

As expected.

The Netherworld's King Yama unleashed a terrifying pressure, as if clearing away all the air currents, and in an instant, the world seemed to fall into an endless silence.

The divine armor woven around Xie Yun Shen trembled with intense frequency.

However, at this moment, Xie Yun Shen remained incredibly calm.

Clap, clap, clap...

He began to applaud, admiring the Netherworld's King Yama who appeared in the tent.

"It's truly a well-planned assassination, a thrilling and satisfying one."

"Although the means are despicable, if it succeeds, any despicable method is a good method."

Xie Yun Shen praised.

However.

The Netherworld's King Yama didn't respond. By the time his words landed, he had already appeared before Xie Yun Shen.

Staging an assassination...

And engaging in a verbal battle with you?

Li Che, at this moment, only wanted to kill Xie Yun Shen.

As quickly as possible!

With Xie Yun Shen dead, the court's army would be leaderless and pose little threat.

Boom!

King Yama's fingers spread wide like five sharp divine spears, and a powerful, dazzling golden energy flowed from them.

The scorching energy, hot enough to melt jade and gold, coiled around his fingers as he slammed his hand down.

Xie Yunshen's body stiffened as he heard a crisp sound ringing out.

It was the sound of his defensive divine armament being shattered!

His pupils constricted!

How could it be so powerful?!

This defensive divine armament was of the Four Imperials Upper Rank, personally forged by the Divine Armament Saint of the Seven Treasures Sect!

Yet, it was as fragile as paper!

Boom—!!!

And at that moment, Li Che had torn through Xie Yunshen's defense.

In the camp.

There was an eruption of auras, one after another!

These were the auras of top-tier, absolute apex, divine tribulation experts!

Ning Caishen of the Seven Treasures Sect, Gu Cheng of Bashu Sword Pavilion, and the Great Buddha Monk Huangmei...

The three were shocked, their hearts trembling at the formidable and arrogant display of the Netherworld.

They had actually chosen to assassinate Xie Yunshen!

National Master Xie Yunshen was protected by two Divine Sect Grandmasters, two divine tribulation experts!

But now...

The Netherworld seemed to have not shown divine tribulation-level combat strength, yet they were already on the verge of success!

There was no time!

The three of them felt their hearts sink.

"National Master—!!!

Huangmei let out a loud roar, and his Buddha light erupted!

His entire body was moving at an increasingly faster speed.

In fact, among the three, only Gu Cheng, the sect leader of Bashu Sword Pavilion, had a genuinely anxious expression on his face.

Ning Caishen, the sect leader of the Seven Treasures Sect, had always been quite laid-back.

As for Huangmei... everything was self-evident.

Huangmei's anxious expression was even more intense than the cold and ruthless Gu Cheng.

In the sky above.

A powerful technique was unleashed, summoning a vast net of sword energy that enveloped and contained the collapsing Black and White Collapse Snowstorm Lotus Thunderstrike Missile.

However, there was not a hint of joy on Gu Qianchi's face.

"Zhao Beidou... you useless fool!"

Gu Qianchi's face twisted in anger.

With a sweep of his perception, he sensed the scene of the King of Hell stepping into the tent.

His heart sank to the bottom of the valley!

Could he make it in time?

Gu Qianchi's body was enveloped in raging sword energy, and the surrounding space began to shatter inch by inch, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He was about to transform into a stream of light and rush downward to protect Xie Yunshen.

The divine tribulation-level Heaven and Earth Dao Soul, vast and overwhelming, descended like a bursting heavenly river, its waters gushing downward!

"Stop!"

A cold shout, like the roar of an angry deity, attempted to intimidate the King of Hell.

However, the effect was minimal!

The King of Hell grabbed with his five fingers, tearing through Xie Yunshen's Four Imperials Upper Rank defensive divine armament!

Gu Qianchi plummeted downward, his ancient robe fluttering wildly!

But—

During the rapid descent.

Gu Qianchi suddenly felt a chill!

He saw the space in front of him being torn apart by a blade, darkness devouring the shattered space, and a pure white hand, radiating a faint glow, extended from the dark void.

It swiftly struck towards Gu Qianchi's rapidly falling figure!

"Divine Tribulation?!"

Gu Qianchi's pupils constricted!

The hair on his body stood on end!

Countless sword lights converged in front of him, colliding with the striking hand, and the two powerful Dao Essences intertwined like battling dragons, coiling around each other!

A one-meter-wide void instantly exploded in the space between the two!

Countless raging whirlwinds of chaotic energy were swiftly devoured by the void!

And the torn space began to repair itself at an incredible speed!

In the sky above, thunderous roars echoed as the terrifying Heavenly Will descended, and the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations reappeared, rolling dark clouds pressing and squeezing as they rapidly approached!

This was the unrestrained clash of two divine tribulation-level experts, unleashing the tribulation aura!

"You're not Lu Qiankun! Who are you?!"

Gu Qianchi's face twisted in anger.

Sword energy soared into the sky, enveloping his entire body, and with each movement, it sliced through space, tearing it open and then emerging from the other side, forming a complete loop!

In front of him.

A figure slowly stepped out of the shattered space.

The black cloak with a hood fluttered in the wind, and a profound mask covered his face, like a constantly swirling vortex of stars!

And on the black cloak, there was an embroidered character filled with Dao Essence energy.

Hunt!

Hunter God Pavilion!

Hunter God Assassin!

"You!"

Gu Qianchi's body instantly turned cold, and his eyes revealed disbelief as he looked at the figure that had torn through the void.

Hunter God?!!

How is this possible?!

How could a Hunter God Assassin appear in the mortal world?!

Aren't they all active in the core area of the Mysterious Pavilion?!

Gu Qianchi's heart sank completely.

It was hopeless.

There was no saving Xie Yunshen.

Sigh...

Gu Qianchi let out a soft sigh.

His gaze turned towards the Hunter God Assassin wearing the star vortex mask.

There was no need to fight, as it would be pointless.

Just as the Hunter God Assassin had no intention of making a move.

Both of them were divine tribulation experts, and there was no need to fight to the death, as it would only attract the attention of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.

There was no necessity.

However, Gu Qianchi's heart couldn't help but feel heavy...

This mysterious Netherworld...

Could it be connected to the Hunter God Pavilion?

Could it be...

This Netherworld, could it also be from the core area of the Mysterious Pavilion?!

...

...

A terrifying amount of energy surged like a bursting river, raging and intertwining, and the entire tent shook violently as the ground beneath it exploded, and countless clouds of dust rose.

Then, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard appeared, spanning and intertwining, enveloping the entire tent.

Even Gu Qianchi, who was confronting the Hunter God Assassin in the sky above, couldn't perceive the situation within the tent...

This scene instantly shattered Gu Qianchi's last shred of hope.

The Netherworld...

What a Netherworld indeed!

Gu Qianchi and Zhao Beidou had previously heard Xie Yunshen say that the Netherworld was most skilled in assassination, always catching their targets off guard.

He still couldn't bring himself to believe it.

But now, he had indeed witnessed the strangeness of the Netherworld!

Boom—!!!

The clouds of dust obscured everything, and a brilliant golden light shone, the glow of the King of Hell's surging energy.

The endless clouds of dust engulfed the tent.

No one could see the situation inside...

But no one dared to rush in recklessly.

Because this was the King of Hell...

The one who had personally slain a clone of the Chaos King, Ji Moling!

That strength, how formidable and powerful was it?

He was a half-step away from the might of a Martial Deity, and among the strong cultivators present, who would dare to approach him?

Ning Caishen would definitely not go, and Huang Mei would not go either. Only the straightforward Ba Shu Sword Pavilion Master Gu Cheng remained, but Gu Cheng was straightforward, not foolish!

Within the smoke and dust.

It wasn't dark.

Beneath the black and white split mask of the King Yama, Li Che's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

He looked at Xie Yun Shen.

That plain-clothed Imperial Tutor Xie Yun Shen... was indeed too calm!

Could he have a backup plan?

Xie Yun Shen's Heaven and Earth Soul exploded, spreading out in a terrifying manner, and the Heaven and Earth Chessboard was also stimulated to its peak, sensing everything that could be sensed.

However...

He did not discover anything strange.

Xie Yun Shen was very weak.

Was he pretending to be a deity?

Since that's the case...

Then...

Kill!

Li Che took a step forward, and the terrifying aura of his bloodline pressure exploded, pressing down on him from above!

With his five fingers clenched, the airflow was crushed, emitting a terrifying roar!

Without the need to display any martial arts.

It was just a simple punch, pushing forward, and the air seemed to be groaning under the heavy burden, emitting a booming sound!

Xie Yun Shen's countless strands of hair rose towards the back.

In his eyes, a bitter smile appeared.

He hadn't expected...

His ambition had just sprouted, intending to conquer the Mountain-Breaking Sect, gathering the world's fortune and unifying it under his command, but this plan had only just begun...

In the first battle, he encountered the threat of death.

Indeed, it made Xie Yun Shen, who prided himself on his intelligence, feel quite defeated.

With an ordinary mortal body, he pulled the tiger's skin, using his silver tongue to suppress the various divine sects, even making the divine sects submit to him. The court.

"Ah..."

"The Netherworld..."

Xie Yun Shen had calculated everything, but he hadn't expected to calculate the existence of the Netherworld!

Indeed...

How hateful!

It ruined his grand plan of uniting fortune!

Xie Yun Shen's eyes revealed a look of extreme dissatisfaction.

Boom!

But his dissatisfaction didn't last long.

With a terrifying punch, it slammed into his face, and the terrifying heat annihilated everything.

"Hmm?"

Beneath the mask, Li Che's eyes showed surprise.

He sensed resistance.

Xie Yun Shen...

Indeed, he had a hidden trump card!

Otherwise, with Xie Yun Shen's strength, this punch would have annihilated his flesh and blood, shattering his entire body, and then he would have disappeared like smoke.

He was truly troublesome, with one trump card after another...

Buzzing...

Suddenly.

Li Che's face beneath the mask revealed a look of solemnity.

Pressure...

Vaguely, he seemed to feel a pressure!

This pressure came from nowhere.

As if borrowing the might of Heaven and Earth, the pressure instantly pressed down on him!

How strange! Boom—

At this moment, Li Che's punch was so powerful that it could instantly shatter a Martial Sage, but Xie Yun Shen was not shattered.

A golden light burst forth, dazzling to the extreme, and then, countless golden airflows intertwined around his body, slowly weaving into a real pattern...

It was a... golden lotus!

The golden lotus lifted Xie Yun Shen, and as the lotus bud opened, the petals blossomed...

Xie Yun Shen spread his arms and looked up.

His entire body seemed to have transformed into gold, with golden hair, golden skin, and even his eyes and pupils turning golden!

His entire body was transformed into a pure golden luster! Vaguely...

A might of Heaven and Earth surrounded him.

As if at this moment, Xie Yun Shen...

Transformed into a divine being!

Boom!

The airflow roared, and the raging airflows seemed to be stimulated, as Xie Yun Shen's eyebrows seemed to have a golden lotus divine pattern blossoming.

...

...

Divine City, Second City.

In the courtyard of a building.

A large water jar was placed in the courtyard, with a bamboo ladder leaning against it.

Inside the water jar, there were originally three lotus buds, but now, one of the buds that was about to bloom opened its petals...

The calm surface of the water in the jar began to ripple with circles of waves...

Buzz—

Suddenly, a buzzing sound reverberated.

The surrounding void seemed to be torn apart, revealing a crack.

After the crack, a pair of eyes looked down at the blossoming lotus in the water jar.

On the lotus, strands of golden light were entwined.

"The Fortune Lotus..."

"The Fortune Lotus that you've been nurturing for so long in Dajing has blossomed, indicating that... in Qianyuan City, you encountered an extremely dangerous situation..."

"Can't two Divine Tribulations protect you?"

"Did the enemy deploy three Divine Tribulations to kill you?"

A murmuring voice echoed from the crack.

Then, the crack closed.

However, after a moment, another crack appeared in the void.

"Useless."

After a rebuke, the crack healed.

...

...

"What is this?"

Li Che's eyes revealed curiosity.

However, Li Che had a guess in his heart, and at his level, he vaguely sensed the power between Heaven and Earth.

"The power of fortune?"

Li Che's eyebrows rose slightly.

"You're right... this is the power of fortune!"

Xie Yun Shen's entire body was bathed in gold, and his entire being seemed to be cast from gold, but he had an aura that seemed to be fused with Heaven and Earth.

An ordinary mortal, as if at this moment, directly transformed into a deity!

He stood on the golden lotus, and behind him, vaguely, it seemed as if there was a golden disc gathering, but it was very blurry, filled with defects.

"I borrowed two-tenths of Dajing's fortune..."

Xie Yun Shen looked at the King Yama of the Netherworld, and in his dazzling golden eyes, a faint smile appeared.

"Quick battle, quick decision... I hope the fortune doesn't dissipate too much, otherwise, His Majesty will blame me, his loyal subject."

Xie Yun Shen sighed.

"You borrowed two-tenths of Dajing's fortune? You used the nation's fortune to bolster yourself?"

Li Che rarely spoke, his voice hoarse and deep, filled with surprise.

"Can you nurture fortune?"

Li Che asked again, his tone... couldn't help but become eager.

Xie Yun Shen narrowed his eyes.

"Didn't you already see it?"

"The Fortune Lotus that I've been nurturing in Dajing for so long was forced out by you..."

"I've nurtured three Fortune Lotuses in Dajing, each occupying two-tenths of the nation's fortune, three lotuses in total, six-tenths of the fortune, with the remaining four-tenths... in His Majesty's hands."

"And His Majesty ordered me to nurture this six-tenths of the fortune, intending to strengthen the fortune and unify the eleven divine sects under the nation's control. These fortunes should belong to Dajing! Eleven divine sects... except for the Zhenwu Divine Sect, they should all be destroyed!"

Xie Yun Shen's eyes burst with dazzling golden light.

"Even without the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, there would be other Divine Sects... The Celestial Master Zifu Sect, the Southern Sea Bamboo Forest, and the Qingyun Xuanfu are all potential targets."

"And you, Heavenly Origin, just happened to be in the crosshairs."

Xie Yun Shen spoke calmly.

"However, despite my meticulous calculations, I never anticipated that the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect would receive aid from the Netherworld, a force beyond our expectations."

"The Netherworld... oh, the Netherworld..."

Xie Yun Shen's aura surged with each passing moment.

Boom!

In the next instant, a golden light descended swiftly from the heavens, a thick column like an elephant's hoof, plummeting through the night sky.

It seemed to cleave the heavens in two.

It crashed into the ruins, shrouded in billowing smoke.

High above in the firmament, where Gu Qianchi and the Hunter God Assassin were locked in a standoff, their eyes widened in astonishment.

"Is that... the Fortune Lotus?!"

"Well done, Xie Yun Shen! He has directly unlocked the power of fortune and borrowed the Great Jing Fortune!"

Gu Qianchi's eyes lit up, instantly recognizing the aura of the descending Heavenly Will.

The Hunter God Assassin's eyes also widened in surprise.

With a slight frown, he realized the situation had taken an unexpected turn.

"The Fortune Lotus!"

This Xie Yun Shen was indeed a formidable opponent.

Beneath the Star Vortex Hunter God Mask, Fang Han Shu let out a soft sigh.

It seemed...

This assassination attempt was destined to fail.

What a pity, considering the Netherworld's intricate design and meticulous planning! The Fortune Lotus...

Based on the intensity of the golden pillar's aura, Xie Yun Shen had likely borrowed half of the Great Jing Fortune, reaching a level comparable to a Half-Step Divine Realm cultivator.

More importantly...

With the Fortune Lotus's power, Xie Yun Shen gained the support of the Heavenly Will, making him virtually invincible in the Half-Step Divine Realm! He could even withstand a few blows from a Divine Tribulation.

Although the Nether King had managed to destroy Ji Moling's avatar in the previous battle, it was only possible due to a three-way collaboration.

Ji Moling was still far from achieving invincibility in the Half-Step Divine Realm.

Therefore, Fang Han Shu concluded that the Nether King would likely fail to kill Xie Yun Shen.

Meanwhile, the Netherworld, through Fengdu, had managed to pull Zhao Bei Dou, a Divine Tribulation cultivator, into a mysterious city.

It was unclear how long this city, resembling a Minor Inner World, could contain Zhao Bei Dou.

Unless there was a Divine Tribulation cultivator within the city, it was unlikely that Zhao Bei Dou would remain trapped for more than a hundred breaths.

Failure...

Fang Han Shu sighed beneath the Star Vortex Mask.

However, he wasn't surprised.

Assassination attempts often ended in failure.

Xie Yun Shen's ability to borrow the Great Jing Fortune was impressive, and the Emperor's decision to lend his fortune to a subject was quite bold.

This also showcased the Emperor's confidence, as he could grant fortune to others and just as easily take it away.

And now, the Emperor had tasked Xie Yun Shen with using this borrowed fortune to attack the Divine Sects.

"Does the Emperor intend to unify the fortune and ascend to the throne as the ruler of the human realm before the Deceptive Pavilion's celestial transformation?"

Fang Han Shu's eyes glinted with determination.

"But... that's easier said than done!"

"The world is not just about the eleven Divine Sects; there's also the Great Jing State, the Witch God Mountain, the Western Buddhist Lands, the Four Seas Dragon Tribes, and the Ten Thousand Demons Country!"

Fang Han Shu exhaled, no longer dwelling on these thoughts.

Although he had anticipated the failure of this assassination attempt,

He remained steadfast in his duty, blocking Gu Qianchi's path.

After all, the Netherworld was fighting for the survival of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.

How could he just turn and leave?

However, Gu Qianchi was in no hurry to make a move. Instead, he began to obstruct the Star Vortex Hunter God Assassin, preventing him from aiding the Nether King.

...

...

"Do you know what this is behind me?"

"Once it's fully condensed, I will have stepped into the Divine Tribulation Realm!"

"This is the 'Tribulation Wheel'. After a Divine Tribulation cultivator overcomes a tribulation, they can condense the Tribulation Wheel on their back. When the wheel manifests, it signifies that the cultivator can unleash their full power."

Xie Yun Shen's body glowed with golden light as he explained to the Nether King like a benevolent teacher.

He was relishing this terrifying power for the first time.

Reluctant to end it too quickly, he knew he couldn't prolong it indefinitely.

Boom!

His eyes lowered.

Xie Yun Shen took a step forward, and the Fortune Lotus spun beneath his feet.

In an instant, he appeared before the Nether King.

A golden lotus blossomed with a thunderous roar, completely enveloping the Nether King, surrounded by the rolling Heavenly Aura...

"With the Fortune Lotus's power, I am invincible below the Divine Realm!"

"Even if it's only for the duration of half an incense stick, I am invincible! Haha!"

Xie Yun Shen burst into joyous laughter.

Who could stand against him with the Heavenly Aura at his command?

However.

The next moment—

Xie Yun Shen's laughter abruptly halted.

He discovered that beneath the Nether King's feet, a chessboard had suddenly appeared.

The chessboard expanded within the Fortune Lotus, tearing through the Heavenly Aura enveloping it, creating a domain!

Xie Yun Shen was now trapped within the chessboard's domain.

And then...

An utterly terrifying Heavenly Pressure descended upon him.

Boom!

It slammed into his body, and Xie Yun Shen's legs trembled.

Bang!

He knelt!

He jerked his head up in shock, realizing that his aura, which was supposed to be invincible below the Divine Realm, was rapidly fading.

It continued to diminish...

Ah?!

Xie Yun Shen raised his head.

Then...

He saw the Nether King's five fingers clenched into a fist.

Behind him, eight dazzling stars shone with intense brilliance.

"Eight... eight?"

Xie Yun Shen was bewildered.

"Invincible below the Divine Realm?"

"I am."

Boom!

The fist landed!

Xie Yun Shen's body, bathed in golden light, instantly shattered!"

With the Fortune Lotus's power...

He burst into pieces!

Finally, the second chapter is complete. I've recommended it, brothers. Keep those monthly votes and subscriptions coming. The data during the recommendation period is crucial for the next chapter. Xie Yun Shen has died, and a chapter must have its buildup... I'm tired, tired. I'll continue writing tomorrow.
