Chapter 413: Xie Yun Shen's Return and the Fortune of the World (Part 1)
Chapter 413: Xie Yun Shen's Return and the Fortune of the World (Part 1)
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions erupted continuously, unleashing a terrifying force akin to the bursting of a heavenly river. The horrifying torrent surged downward, 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, even more resilient than divine armaments, was now shattered into countless fragments.
Golden blood, golden flesh, and golden bones!
They scattered like stars in the sky.
What was happening?
Xie Yun Shen was bewildered, unable to fathom the scene unfolding before him.
Eight...
Were those eight Mysterious Door Divine Seeds?
Was this person even human?
Xie Yun Shen, as the State Tutor of Great Jing, had thoroughly studied martial arts to counter the various divine sects.
The martial arts of the Mysterious Door Divine Seeds had a long heritage, existing even before the birth of the Deceptive Pavilion in the mortal world.
However, even in legends, there was no record of eight Mysterious Door Divine Seeds being activated simultaneously.
Such a monstrous feat was unheard of in all the martial arts records Xie Yun Shen had ever read.
Eight Mysterious Door Divine Seeds...
It seemed like a fantastical tale.
But the reality was right before his eyes, and it was painted with his blood.
The Netherworld King had been hiding his true strength!
Boom!
Xie Yun Shen's consciousness faded at that moment.
As the power of the Fortune Lotus weakened, he had no resistance against the Netherworld King's punch.
The Netherworld King's punch, though casual, was terrifyingly powerful. The ground exploded, and countless spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly like earth dragons, accompanied by dense fragments of stone swirling uncontrollably. The entire imperial army camp trembled with the force of the impact.
It felt as if the earth was furious, causing the heavens and earth to shake.
Dust and smoke rose, obscuring everyone's vision.
The scene became even more difficult to discern.
All they could vaguely see was a golden lotus blooming amidst the chaos, drawing a golden pillar from the heavens.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The world seemed to fall silent at that moment, leaving only the continuous release of the seven treasures, the roaring of the air currents, and the smoke and dust being swept away in all directions.
Boom!
Time did not freeze.
Everyone's eyes widened, their hearts tense with curiosity.
They knew that this was a clash between the Netherworld King and Xie Yun Shen, who had gained the fortune of Great Jing.
The power of fortune was equivalent to the power of heaven and earth. Even in the era before the Deceptive Pavilion's birth, there were those who could harness the fortune of heaven and earth, breaking through the limitations of the world and reaching a terrifying level beyond Martial Sage.
Thus, the power of fortune was an ancient force, but obtaining it was incredibly challenging.
A small amount of fortune had little effect; only when fortune accumulated to the scale of a nation could it have a significant impact.
In Great Jing, the eleven paths, and the various divine sects all possessed fortune, which was the fortune of their respective sects, accumulated over thousands of years of cultivation in their territories.
When fortune waned, the sect weakened, but this power was elusive and required experts to comprehend and control.
Not everyone could harness or gain the blessing of fortune.
Now, Xie Yun Shen had obtained the blessing of fortune, which demonstrated the Great Jing Emperor's trust in him.
With the fortune's empowerment, Xie Yun Shen's battle prowess skyrocketed to a level close to divine tribulation. If not for the limited number of tribulations, Xie Yun Shen might have directly harnessed the power of divine tribulation.
Of course, the price of being blessed by fortune was also immense.
What was the situation now?
Smoke and dust swirled and raged.
Suspended in the air, Gu Qianchi, the old ancestor of Bashu Sword Pavilion, frowned slightly. His powerful Heaven Earth Dao Soul surged forth, attempting to sense the situation.
However, he was vaguely blocked by an invisible force.
Although the Netherworld King possessed the battle prowess of a Half-Step Divine Realm, he...
...was no match for Ji Li Hai in a one-on-one fight. Against Xie Yun Shen, who was invincible below the divine realm and empowered by the Fortune Lotus, the Netherworld King had little chance.
At least...
Xie Yun Shen's assassination attempt, carefully designed by the Netherworld and Hunter God Tower, seemed destined to fail.
Xie Yun Shen had survived!
...
...
Xie Yun Shen was dead.
Li Che wore a black and white Yama mask, his entire body radiating a dazzling golden light, even his hair tips illuminated by golden blood.
He stood tall, with eight stellar-like lights of extreme brilliance rising from his spine, twisting like the roar of an angry dragon.
His ink-colored robe shimmered with gold, stretched taut by his muscular physique.
Every muscle twitched and rippled like angry dragons roaring.
His terrifying aura raged, freezing everything around him—the smoke, the shattered flesh and bones suspended in the air, and Xie Yun Shen.
Xie Yun Shen was hammered into pieces by Li Che's punch, exploding into four or five fragments.
Xie Yun Shen had brought this upon himself.
Attempting a leap to engage in close combat was beyond comprehension.
However, it wasn't difficult to guess that Xie Yun Shen, despite his low cultivation and limited talent in divinity, had at least trained in martial arts to some degree.
So, even with the blessing of Great Jing's Fortune Lotus, he retained the habit of a warrior engaging in close combat.
He had jumped directly into Li Che's Overheaven Dao Realm, which had expanded to a thirty-foot range.
Otherwise, Xie Yun Shen, empowered by fortune, would have kept his distance and fought Li Che from afar, forcing Li Che to find a way to close the gap.
Xie Yun Shen actively approached, essentially offering his head for Li Che to shatter.
Li Che would be doing him a disservice by not shattering it.
Within the Overheaven Dao Realm, Li Che could also unleash heavenly might...
When the Fortune's might clashed with the Overheaven's might, it was evident that the Overheaven Half-Step... was slightly stronger! Since he could overcome Heaven, he could naturally surpass Xie Yun Shen's Fortune Lotus.
In short, Xie Yun Shen's luck was truly terrible.
If he faced any Half-Step Divine Warrior, he might have been able to turn the tables.
But unfortunately...
He encountered Li Che, who possessed the Overheaven Dao Realm and whose physical body had reached the pinnacle of human terror.
Whether it was combat experience or skill pressure, he was completely suppressed...
Thus, Xie Yun Shen, who had mustered the courage to fight back for the first time, ended up in a lifetime of seclusion.
Buzzing...
Xie Yun Shen was defeated, but the power of the Fortune Lotus had not yet dissipated.
Li Che's gaze swept by, and he vaguely sensed the power of the Fortune Lotus, feeling that it was about to start collapsing.
This was the power of Fortune!
Even Li Che's eyes couldn't help but reveal a fervent intent.
His powerful aura expanded, causing Xie Yun Shen's shattered flesh to solidify and suspend in mid-air. His five fingers opened, and instantly, the flesh gathered together.
In front of Li Che, it formed a golden sphere of flesh and blood.
Dripping golden blood droplets, the sphere was like a ticking time bomb.
With his eight extraordinary abilities, Li Che's muscular physique was infinitely perfect, his golden hair cascading down to his knees like a billowing cape.
He raised his hand, and with just that simple motion, it seemed as if the space around him couldn't bear the weight.
Beneath the black and white mask, Li Che's eyes were like bottomless wells.
Xie Yun Shen was a talented individual.
When he gained the trust of the Great Jing Emperor and even received the Fortune Lotus, Li Che knew...
Such a talent, when introduced to the Netherworld!
The Great Jing could gather all the Fortune of the world and unify it, and so could Qianyuan!
To achieve this, it was natural for them to have talented individuals to assist.
Bound Deity!
Between Heaven and Earth, Yin Wind blew, and wraiths howled.
In an instant, Xie Yun Shen's flesh and blood sphere began to manifest, slowly twisting and growing, gradually forming his figure.
From the depths of the Netherworld, the deceased was forcibly bound and brought back.
Xie Yun Shen's Bound Deity slowly took shape...
Finally, after it completely solidified, Xie Yun Shen suddenly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, endless bewilderment emerged.
Did he die? But... he was alive again.
This was the Netherworld's doing? He didn't hear the clanking of chains because Xie Yun Shen's cultivation was too weak, unlike a top-tier Apex cultivator who would struggle to break free from the Netherworld's chains.
Xie Yun Shen's white hair fluttered, and a bitter smile appeared on his aged face.
After becoming a Bound Deity, his mind gradually became clearer about things he didn't know before.
Li Che...
Li Che!
The creator of the Netherworld...
Was actually Li Che!
Xie Yun Shen never expected this!
A mud-legged man from a small city like Flying Thunder City, a humble and honest woodcarver, was actually the creator of the Netherworld's formidable power!
"Xie Yun Shen, I pay my respects to the Lord!"
"Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to be reborn."
"From now on, Xie Yun Shen will follow the Lord's every command!"
Xie Yun Shen had no hesitation.
With a bow and salute, he expressed his respect 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 understand.
At this moment, Xie Yun Shen also understood why Tian Can Di Que betrayed him, no, they didn't betray him, they were already dead.
After death, they were resurrected by the Netherworld, and the resurrected Tian Can Di Que naturally submitted.
At this moment, Xie Yun Shen finally understood the main reason for his initial defeat in the first battle of the Mud-Legged War!
"Not bad, worthy of your intelligence, your awareness is clear."
Li Che, wearing the King Yama Mask, praised.
Perhaps it was because Xie Yun Shen received the Fortune Lotus that even after his resurrection, despite his weakened state, he didn't appear dazed and confused.
Of course, it was also because Li Che's Pure Heart Dao Fruit had reached the LV6 rank, and his Bound Deity ability had greatly improved.
"It's all thanks to the Lord's grace."
Xie Yun Shen was extremely respectful.
But in his heart, he was...
Very satisfied with his current state...
Because, after becoming a Bound Deity, Xie Yun Shen realized that by devouring other Bound Deities, he could become stronger!
And if he didn't die, with his original cultivation talent, he might never have touched the realm of a great sect in this lifetime.
So, death was truly beneficial.
Even, Xie Yun Shen boldly guessed whether his current state... could achieve longevity!
An immortal state...
Wouldn't that be longevity?
Of course...
The prerequisite was that the Lord, Li Che, didn't die.
His longevity limit was tied to Li Che, as long as Li Che lived, the Bound Deity wouldn't die!
"Try to see if you can maintain this Fortune Lotus and regain control of the Fortune power."
Li Che said indifferently.
This was why he was eager to resurrect Xie Yun Shen.
Perhaps due to Xie Yun Shen's death, the Fortune Lotus was slowly crumbling.
The pillar of Fortune light between Heaven and Earth was also collapsing...
"Yes, Lord."
Xie Yun Shen immediately became solemn.
He knew his cultivation wasn't high, and the only useful things he had were his brain, mouth, and his grasp of Fortune!
If he could regain control of the Great Jing Fortune Lotus...
His status in the Netherworld would become extremely important.
Xie Yun Shen sensed a hint of something from Li Che's words.
That was...
The scent of ambition!
Xie Yun Shen's eyes shone with brilliant light, and his heart, which was supposed to be restrained, began to throb with excitement...
It was time to demonstrate his worth!
He wasn't afraid of Li Che's ambition, but rather, he feared the lack of it.
Because Li Che had ambition... he could showcase Xie Yun Shen's true value!
Xie Yun Shen gracefully stepped onto the Fortune Golden Lotus, his arms spread wide, and in his mind's eye, he envisioned the Dajing Emperor bestowing upon him the qualification and ability to control and dominate six-tenths of the nation's Fortune.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
An invisible aura spread and resonated.
Xie Yun Shen's eyes transformed into a dazzling golden hue, and his entire being became enveloped in a golden radiance. His aura rose steadily, continuously ascending!
He had recovered to the state before Li Che's hammer strike.
Fortune returned to him!
Behind him, the Calamity Wheel slowly condensed, still blurry and indistinct.
His aura reached the pinnacle of the Half-step Divine Realm.
Li Che's black shirt flapped in the wind, and he gently smiled as he danced amidst the raging waves.
"Not bad."
Xie Yun Shen reconnected with the power of Fortune, and his eyes gleamed with brilliance.
"Do you know what you should do next?"
"You will continue to stay within the imperial army... You are still the Dajing Empire's Imperial Tutor Xie Yun Shen."
Li Che nodded.
Xie Yun Shen's eyes flashed, and his mind connected with Li Che's brainwaves.
"Yes, sir."
"The Fortune of the Empire... Dajing can have it, and Qianyuan can have it too."
Beneath the mask, Li Che smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Xie Yun Shen couldn't help but laugh as well.
"Helping the Dajing Emperor gather the Fortune of the various Divine Sects is one task, and helping our master gather Fortune is another..."
The responsibilities were similar, just serving different masters.
The Emperor still held four-tenths of the nation's Fortune in his hands, a sign of the Emperor's distrust. He only granted Xie Yun Shen six-tenths of the Fortune to manage, allowing him to cultivate three Fortune Golden Lotuses.
Of course, this was reasonable, as entrusting the Fortune of an entire nation to a single person was indeed unreliable.
But understanding was one thing, and the Emperor's actions were another. Xie Yun Shen naturally sensed the Emperor's intentions.
Now, if it were the master, he would never treat him with such caution...
Xie Yun Shen's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of challenge.
He understood the master's intention in letting him remain within the imperial camp, maintaining a false identity, and using the power of the court to conquer the mountains and destroy the sects.
In their battle, the Netherworld and Qianyuan Divine Sect would be the ones to benefit.
Boom, boom, boom...
Hmm?
Ink City Fengdu trembled with a faint rumble.
Zhao Beidou, a Divine Tribulation Cultivator, was pulled into Ink City Fengdu, and it seemed like a terrifying explosion was about to occur.
In fact, from the moment Li Che took action as the King Yama, to Xie Yun Shen's resistance triggering the Fortune Golden Lotus and his subsequent defeat, it hadn't been a very long time.
But there had been three or four dozen breaths.
This Divine Tribulation Cultivator Zhao Beidou, within Ink City Fengdu, seemed to be exerting all his strength to break free.
Li Che, focused on killing Xie Yun Shen, hadn't paid attention to the situation inside.
However, the problem wasn't significant.
Because in Ink City Fengdu, with Tian Can Di Que, Han Sixin, Qinglong, Zhuque, Baihu, and other top-tier apex experts and divine beings surrounding Zhao Beidou, it seemed like they couldn't stop him.
