Chapter 413: The Return of the Fortune God, the Fate of the World, and the Netherworld's Victory (Part 1)
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
An explosion!
The relentless detonation! A terrifying force, like a bursting dam, unleashed a torrent of terror that swept down, engulfing and annihilating everything in its path!
Xie Yun Shen felt an excruciating pain, as if his physical body was being torn apart. Every inch of his flesh seemed to explode.
Despite being empowered by the Fortune Lotus, his body, tougher than divine weaponry, was now shattered into countless fragments.
Golden blood, golden flesh, and golden bones!
Exploding into countless stars!
What was happening?
Xie Yun Shen was bewildered, unable to fathom the scene unfolding before him from the Nether King.
Eight...
Were those eight Mysterious Door Divine Seeds?
Was this person even human?
Xie Yun Shen, as the Grand Master of Dajing, had extensively studied martial arts to counter various divine sects.
The Mysterious Door Martial Arts had a long heritage, originating from a time before the Mysterious Temple's descent upon the mortal realm.
However, even in legends, there was no record of all eight Mysterious Door Divine Seeds being activated simultaneously.
Such a monster was unheard of in all the martial arts records Xie Yun Shen had ever read.
Eight Mysterious Door Divine Seeds...
It was like a fantastical tale!
But now, it was happening right before his eyes, and it was his blood that was being spilled!
The Nether King had been concealing his true power!
Boom! Xie Yun Shen's consciousness faded away.
As the power of the Fortune Lotus weakened, he had no resistance against the Nether King's punch.
The Nether King's punch, though casual, was terrifyingly powerful. The ground exploded, creating countless spiderweb-like cracks that rapidly expanded like burrowing earth dragons. The fine debris swirled and surged endlessly, filling the air with a terrifying roar.
The entire imperial army's camp trembled under the force of this punch.
It felt like the earth itself was collapsing, and the heavens were shaking.
A thick cloud of dust obscured everyone's vision.
Making it even harder to see!
All they could vaguely discern was a golden lotus blooming amidst the chaos, even drawing a golden pillar of light from the heavens!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
At that moment, the world seemed to fall silent.
Only the continuous flow of the Seven Treasures could be heard, as countless currents of air, laden with dust and debris, swept outward in all directions.
Boom! Time did not freeze.
Everyone's eyes widened, their hearts tense with curiosity.
They knew this was a confrontation between the Nether King and Xie Yun Shen, who had received the blessing of the Great Jing Fortune.
The power of fortune...
Was akin to the power of heaven and earth! Even in the era before the Mysterious Temple's birth, some could harness the power of fortune to break through the limitations of the world and ascend to a level beyond the Martial Sage.
Thus, the power of fortune...
Was an ancient force, but one that was incredibly difficult to obtain.
Without sufficient fortune, it had little effect. Only when fortune accumulated to a national level could it have a significant impact!
The eleven paths of Dajing, each held by a divine sect, possessed this fortune—a fortune that had been cultivated and accumulated over thousands of years within each sect.
When fortune waned, so did the sect's power, but this power was elusive and required a specialist to comprehend and control.
Not everyone could harness or receive the blessing of fortune.
And now, Xie Yun Shen had gained the power of fortune, a testament to the Great Jing Emperor's trust in him.
With this blessing, Xie Yun Shen's combat strength soared to a level nearing the Divine Tribulation, and if not for the limited number of tribulations, he might have directly attained the power of the Divine Tribulation.
Of course, there was a significant cost to bearing this fortune.
What was the situation?
The dust swirled and raged.
Suspended in the air, the ancient ancestor of Bashu Sword Pavilion, Gu Qianchi, frowned slightly. His powerful soul surged forth, attempting to perceive the situation.
However, he was subtly blocked by an invisible force.
Although the Nether King had the strength of a half-step Martial Deity, he...
Didn't even have the skills to face Ji Moling one-on-one. Against Xie Yun Shen, who was invincible below the Divine Realm and empowered by the Fortune Lotus, he likely had little chance.
At the very least...
Xie Yun Shen's meticulously planned assassination attempt by the Netherworld and the Hunter God Pavilion seemed destined to fail.
Xie Yun Shen survived!
...
...
Xie Yun Shen died.
Li Che wore a black and white divided King Yama Mask, his entire body radiant with golden light, even his hair tips shimmering with golden blood.
He stood motionless, eight brilliant lights like stars shining from his spine, which twisted like an angry dragon's roar.
His ink-stained body glowed with golden light, stretched taut, revealing a robust and muscular physique.
Every muscle twitched and trembled, like an angry dragon's continuous roar!
A terrifying aura raged, freezing everything around him, whether it was the dust or the floating, shattered flesh and bones.
Xie Yun Shen was blasted apart by Li Che's punch, shattering into countless pieces.
Xie Yun Shen had brought this upon himself.
To think he tried to teleport and engage in close combat with Li Che, his intentions were incomprehensible.
However, it wasn't difficult to guess that Xie Yun Shen, with his limited cultivation and lacking innate talent in the divine aspect, had achieved a moderate level of martial arts skill. At the very least, he was a martial artist.
Therefore, even with the blessing of the Great Jing Fortune Lotus, he retained his habit of engaging in close combat.
He had teleported directly into Li Che's Thirty-Foot Heaven Surpassing Domain.
Otherwise, with the power of fortune, Xie Yun Shen could have maintained his distance and fought Li Che from afar, forcing Li Che to close the gap.
In the vicinity of the Heaven Surpassing Domain, Li Che was also capable of unleashing the Heavenly Aura.
When the power of Fortune clashed with the Heavenly Aura, it was evident that the Heaven Surpassing Domain was even stronger! Since he could surpass the heavens, it was only natural that he could overcome Xie Yun Shen's Fortune Lotus.
In simple terms, Xie Yun Shen's luck was truly terrible.
If he were to face any Half-Step Martial Deity, he might even turn the tables.
But unfortunately...
He encountered Li Che, the master of the Heaven Surpassing Domain, whose physical body had reached the pinnacle of human terror through rigorous fleshly cultivation.
Whether it was combat experience or the pressure of his techniques, Xie Yun Shen was completely suppressed.
Therefore, when Xie Yun Shen gathered the courage to clench his fists and rebel for the first time, he received a lifetime of seclusion in return.
A buzzing sound filled the air.
Xie Yun Shen was beaten to a pulp, but the power of the Fortune Lotus had not yet dispersed.
Li Che's gaze swept past, faintly sensing the power of the Fortune Lotus, which was about to begin a continuous cycle of disintegration.
This was the power of Fortune!
Even in Li Che's eyes, a fervent intent emerged.
As his powerful aura spread, Xie Yun Shen's mangled body froze in mid-air, his five fingers spread open, and instantly, all the shredded flesh gathered together.
In front of Li Che, the shredded flesh formed a golden sphere of flesh and blood.
Golden drops of blood dripped from the sphere, ticking like a clock.
Li Che, the master of the Eight Odd Gates, stood with his perfectly sculpted muscles, his golden hair cascading down to his knees like a billowing cloak.
He raised his hand, and with just that movement, it seemed as if the space around him couldn't bear the weight.
Beneath the black and white mask, Li Che's eyes were as deep as an ancient well.
Xie Yun Shen was a talented individual.
When Xie Yun Shen gained the trust of the Great Jing State Master and even received the blessing of the Fortune Lotus, Li Che knew...
Such talent should be brought to the Netherworld!
The Great Jing State could gather the world's Fortune and unify it, and so could the Primordial Vortex!
To achieve this, naturally, talented individuals were needed.
Soul Capture!
In the realm between heaven and earth, a chilling wind blew, and wails of the dead echoed.
In an instant, a black shadow emerged on Xie Yun Shen's sphere of flesh, slowly twisting and growing, gradually outlining Xie Yun Shen's figure.
From the depths of the netherworld, the dead were forcibly brought back.
Xie Yun Shen's Soul Capture slowly took shape...
Finally, after it was fully formed, Xie Yun Shen abruptly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, endless bewilderment welled up.
Was he dead? But... he was alive again?!
Was this the Netherworld's doing? There was no clanking of chains, as Xie Yun Shen's cultivation was too weak. It didn't seem like a death in the Absolute Apex, where one would have to struggle to break free from the chains of the netherworld.
Xie Yun Shen's clothes fluttered in the wind, his black and white hair dancing, and a bitter smile appeared on his aged face.
After becoming a Soul Capture, his mind began to clarify things he had not known before.
Li Che...
Li Che!
The creator of the Netherworld...
Turned out to be Li Che!
Xie Yun Shen never expected this!
A mere woodcarver from a small city like Flying Thunder City, who was honest and obedient, turned out to be the creator of the Netherworld's cruel and evil forces!
"Xie Yun Shen, I pay my respects to you, Lord!"
"Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to be reborn."
"From now on, Xie Yun Shen will only look to you, Lord."
Xie Yun Shen showed no hesitation.
With a bow, he expressed his reverence and submission.
He was an intelligent man, and intelligent men rarely made wrong decisions.
Between life and death, he naturally chose life without hesitation.
Even if...
It was a way of survival he couldn't comprehend.
At this moment, Xie Yun Shen finally understood why Tian Can Di Que had betrayed him, or rather, they hadn't betrayed him; they were already dead.
After being resurrected by the Netherworld, Tian Can Di Que naturally chose to submit.
At this moment, Xie Yun Shen finally realized the main reason for his initial defeat in the first battle of the Mountain-Breaking Sect!
"Not bad, worthy of an intelligent man. Your awareness is clear."
Li Che, wearing the King Yama Mask, praised.
Perhaps because Xie Yun Shen had received the blessing of the Fortune Lotus, his entire being, despite his weak state, didn't seem muddled after his resurrection.
Of course, it was also because Li Che's Namo Immortal Craft Super Electromagnetic Cannon had reached the LV6 position, and his Soul Capture ability had greatly improved.
"This is all thanks to your grace, Lord."
Xie Yun Shen was filled with reverence.
In his heart, he was extremely satisfied with his current state.
Because Xie Yun Shen discovered that after becoming a Soul Capture, as long as he devoured other Soul Captures, he could become stronger!
And if he didn't die, with his original cultivation talent, he might never have touched the realm of Grandmasters in this lifetime.
So, it was good that he died.
Furthermore, Xie Yun Shen boldly speculated that in his current state, whether... he could achieve immortality!
An immortal state...
As long as the Lord didn't die.
His upper limit for immortality was bound to the Lord, Li Che. As long as Li Che didn't die, the Soul Capture would not perish!
"Try to maintain this Fortune Lotus and regain control of the Fortune's power."
Li Che spoke calmly.
This was the main reason he was eager to resurrect Xie Yun Shen.
The Fortune Lotus might be disintegrating due to Xie Yun Shen's death, slowly crumbling.
The golden pillar of Fortune between heaven and earth was also collapsing...
"Yes, Lord."
Xie Yun Shen immediately became alert.
He knew his cultivation was not high, but his mind and words could be useful, and more importantly, his control over Fortune!
If he could regain control of the Great Jing State's Fortune Lotus...
His status in the Netherworld would become more important than ever!
Xie Yun Shen sensed a certain tone in Li Che's words.
The Taste of Ambition!
Xie Yun Shen's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his heart, which had been bound by the Divine Embryo, began to throb with a new vitality...
It was time to demonstrate his worth!
He wasn't afraid of Li Che's ambition; he was afraid of Li Che having no ambition.
Because Li Che's ambition... would reflect his role as Xie Yun Shen.
Xie Yun Shen floated onto the Fortune Lotus, his arms spread wide, and in his mind, an image of the Great Jing State Master granting him the qualifications and ability to dominate and control six-tenths of the state's fortune.
Vibrant hums reverberated.
An invisible aura expanded and rumbled.
Xie Yun Shen's eyes flashed with golden brilliance, and his entire body was once again bathed in gold, his aura rising steadily, endlessly ascending!
He had returned to his state before being smashed to death by Li Che!
Fortune had returned to him!
Behind him, the Tribulation Wheel slowly condensed, still blurry and unceasing.
His aura reached the pinnacle of the Half-Step Divine Realm!
Li Che's black shirt fluttered in the wind, and he danced amidst the waves, his laughter light and carefree.
"Not bad."
Xie Yun Shen regained control of the power of fortune, his eyes sparkling.
"You know what you should do next, right?"
"You will continue to stay within the imperial court's army... You are still the Great Jing State's Master Xie Yun Shen."
Li Che spoke.
Xie Yun Shen's eyes flashed, and in an instant, his brainwaves connected with Li Che's.
"Yes."
"The world's fortune... Great Jing can have it, and Qianyuan can have it too."
Beneath the mask, Li Che smiled slightly.
Xie Yun Shen couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.
The Great Jing State Master had gathered the fortune of various divine sects, and his own master had gathered fortune as well...
Their responsibilities were similar, just with different loyalties.
The Emperor held four-tenths of the nation's fortune in his hands, and this was the Emperor's distrust, only granting him six-tenths of the fortune to manage, allowing him to nurture three Fortune Lotuses.
Of course, this was understandable, after all... entrusting the fortune of an entire nation to one person was indeed not very reliable.
But understanding was one thing, and in his actions, he was meticulous and vigilant, and Xie Yun Shen could sense this.
And now, as his master, he would definitely not be so guarded against him...
Xie Yun Shen couldn't help but feel a sense of challenge in his heart.
He understood his master's intention in letting him stay within the imperial court, maintaining a false identity, using the power of the court to destroy the Mountain and break the Divine Sect.
In the clash between the two, he would reap the benefits as an onlooker, naturally becoming the Netherworld and Qianyuan Divine Sect.
