Chapter 421: New Member of the Netherworld, Who is Above the King of Hell? Zhao Zu Shi Enters the Netherworld and Recovers (Part 1)
Boom!
Brilliant golden blood essence soared into the sky, illuminating even the leaden clouds with a golden hue, as if a grand sun was shining behind them, radiating countless rays of light.
Within Qianyuan Dao City.
Every figure present was shaken to their core, their eyes revealing expressions of astonishment and surprise. Even the Divine Tribulation Grandmaster, Lu Qiankun, showed a look of astonishment in his eyes.
"This is..."
"The Martial Dao, ascending to the peak of the mountain path, will reach the Apex!"
"Someone has broken through the Fourth Opening of the Martial Saint and reached the Apex!"
"That direction, towards the sect, in the Outer Disciple City... Who is it?"
...
Lu Taibai and Fang Hanshu also turned to look, their eyes filled with unconcealed astonishment. Then, they began to ponder, but couldn't immediately figure out who was about to break through.
In the Outer Disciple City...
Who among the Third Opening Martial Saints was about to break through their realm? However, they couldn't imagine...
"Could it be... Li Che?"
Fang Hanshu said.
He thought of Li Che's recent persistent requests for resources, and he had been very generous, providing Li Che with whatever resources he asked for.
With Fang Hanshu's keen perception, he naturally understood that Li Che intended to use these resources for pill refinement.
Moreover, the pills he aimed to refine were not ordinary Martial Pills, but the Fourth Virtue Top-grade Heavenly Martial Pill!
Among the resources Li Che requested, there were many Fourth Virtue materials, which had been accumulated by the Qianyuan Divine Sect over the years.
"Li Che?!"
"It's really him!"
As soon as Fang Hanshu mentioned it, Lu Taibai instantly felt a familiar aura.
It was Li Che's blood essence, genuine and authentic!
Li Che had previously clashed with Feng Zhiqi, and during that encounter, Li Che had displayed golden blood essence...
Now it seemed that Li Che's cultivation had likely taken a significant leap forward!
Boom!
A golden mountain rose from the ground, with a figure standing atop its peak, resembling a god or demon overlooking eternity. His hair flowed like a golden waterfall, billowing behind him, fluttering endlessly, like a cape in the wind.
Divine dragons and giant elephants encircled him, and within the immense furnace, blood essence blazed like fire, burning fiercely.
An incredibly powerful Martial Dao Will emanated from him, unyielding and indomitable, as if trampling everything beneath his feet, dominating the entire mountain.
A booming laughter echoed from the mountain peak.
Lu Taibai and Fang Hanshu exchanged glances, their hearts trembling incessantly, as they confirmed that it was indeed Li Che's laughter! The one who had broken through the Fourth Opening of the Martial Saint was none other than Li Che!
"Amazing!"
Lu Taibai took a deep breath.
Although a Martial Saint's Fourth Opening might not bring about a decisive change to the current situation in Qianyuan Dao City, it was still incredibly inspiring. A Martial Saint at the Fourth Opening could serve as a pillar of strength.
Take Feng Zhiqi, for example, who had broken through to become a Martial Saint at the Fourth Opening and had fully committed himself to the Qianyuan Divine Sect, further solidifying the sect's control over the city.
Moreover, Li Che was not an ordinary martial artist.
Boom!
The sound of breaking through the air reverberated, and figures soared into the sky from the city towers.
They all seemed to momentarily forget the oppressive pressure brought by the Elder Dragon God, and at this moment, they were immersed in the euphoria of a new Apex cultivator's birth.
Feng Zhiqi's entire body trembled, his robust frame slightly quivering, feeling a bit parched.
Li Che...
Had he reached the Fourth Opening of the Martial Saint? Had he become the Apex? How much time had passed since then? When Li Che had just broken through to the Martial Saint realm, he had given him a run for his money.
You're telling me Li Che has also broken through to the Fourth Opening of the Martial Saint? Did he accumulate his Qi Sea and find the mountain without any prior cultivation?
Could Martial cultivation be achieved so swiftly? Feng Zhiqi couldn't comprehend it!
Hong Shi Fo, Yu Wen Long, and other powerful cultivators of Qianyuan Dao City also followed behind.
The group landed in the Disciples' City.
At this moment, the Disciples' City was in complete chaos. All the disciples who had been in closed-door cultivation rushed out, gazing at the Martial Dao mountain reflected in the sky and the blood essence furnace that resembled a grand sun.
There were only exclamations, awe, and worship! Li Che's booming laughter echoed throughout the entire Disciples' City.
In the courtyard.
The Golden Maned Dog looked up in awe at the figure standing atop the Martial Dao phenomenon, the peak of the Martial Dao mountain.
Although he had not yet been guided through the Heavenly Gate, this...
This majestic aura, this demeanor of standing atop the mountain, overlooking the world, made the Golden Maned Dog feel deeply impressed and convinced!
He believed that his master had become even more powerful, and defeating him might now only require a single punch.
Lu Qiankun and the others landed outside the Elder Academy.
The entire courtyard was enveloped in a powerful aura.
The Martial Dao phenomenon hung in the air, and the blood essence furnace floated, making the entire courtyard seem like the center of the Divine Sect at this moment!
"What an incredible blood essence furnace! This is such pure and extreme blood essence, golden in color, with dragon carvings, extraordinary and lifelike!"
Lu Qiankun narrowed his eyes.
As a First Tribulation Two Cataclysms Realm Divine Tribulation Cultivator, his vision was extraordinary.
At a glance, he could see the formidable nature of this blood essence furnace! The golden blood essence, thick like smoke, gathered within the furnace, compressed to the extreme, radiating a brilliance as bright as a grand sun!
Could an ordinary Apex cultivator possess such blood essence? Lu Qiankun took a deep breath, impressed by the profound foundation. From the furnace, he could glimpse Li Che's solid and unwavering Martial Dao foundation.
The foundation was incredibly stable and perfect, whether it was the Qi Sea or the Martial Dao mountain...
Lu Qiankun couldn't help but reveal a hint of regret in his eyes.
Alas... Although Li Che's breakthrough was awe-inspiring, in the end... he was just a Martial Saint.
Facing the imperial army, with three Divine Tribulation Cultivators leading them, he couldn't make much of a difference.
But if Li Che had more time, with his current foundation, breaking through the constraints of the Martial Saint Realm in the future wouldn't be a difficult task!
What a pity...
He was just a Martial Saint, after all.
...
...
Li Che burst into uncontrollable laughter, his thoughts crystal clear as if he had gained enlightenment.
His entire body felt incredibly light, and his spirit was highly concentrated at this moment!
The former country bumpkin had now reached the Apex!
This was a gap as vast as heaven and earth, and it had only taken seven years!
In a mere seven years, he had risen from Flying Thunder City, an insignificant small town, breaking through the constraints of the Martial Dao, from the weak skin-grinding stage to the current Fourth Opening of the Martial Saint, thoroughly understanding the Martial Dao and reaching the Apex!
Li Che felt like he was in a myth, as if it were all a dream within a dream!
He felt an unprecedented exhilaration!
At this moment, Li Che even scattered the Heaven Earth Chessboard, no longer hiding his aura or deceiving others about his cultivation!
He boldly displayed and exposed his true strength.
Announcing to the whole world, to all under heaven...
That Li Che had reached the Apex of the Martial Dao!
Of course, Li Che still kept some things hidden, such as the complete opening of the Eighth Mystic Gate.
But this moment was the pinnacle of glory in Li Che's Martial journey!
Li Che's exuberance knew no bounds, and he didn't want to hide it!
Boom—!!!
He exhaled a long breath, and his blood and energy intertwined like an angry dragon, with golden energy constantly swirling around his arms.
Taking a step forward, his entire body seemed like a meteor streaking across the sky, falling rapidly.
Dong—!!!
The entire ground shook.
"Husband!"
In the courtyard, Zhang Ya covered her mouth, filled with joy, surprise, and disbelief!
Zhang Ya was no longer a novice in cultivation; her husband... had actually reached the Apex of the Martial Saint!
Good heavens!
What kind of divine figure was her husband?
However, after her initial excitement, a hint of tension and pressure appeared on Zhang Ya's face.
As her husband became more and more outstanding, she would lose even the qualification to bear his children if she didn't keep up.
Zhang Ya was well aware that as Xi Xi grew up, she and her husband might have more children in the future.
Perhaps even one child wouldn't be enough.
They could afford it now!
But as things stood, if Zhang Ya didn't strive to become stronger and improve her body's conditioning... she couldn't keep up with her husband's rapid growth.
Sigh, having such an outstanding husband was also a source of worry.
Although Zhang Ya had consumed the Immortal Peach, she was still diligently refining its energy...
It would take who knows how long to fully refine it.
Lu Qianyuan, Lu Taibai, Fang Hanshu, and others arrived, floating in the air.
They brought congratulations and celebrations, and other elders also came one after another.
Zhao Fangzhou, Ding Zi, Feng Zhiqi, and other Divine Sect elders came to congratulate Li Che.
"Thank you all, but I've only broken through to the Fourth Opening of the Martial Saint, which isn't much help to the current situation of our sect."
"We still need to continue striving to improve ourselves."
Li Che bowed and said lightly.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, and then they all felt a grand and passionate fighting spirit.
Even Li Che, a genius blessed by heaven, was feeling the pressure and striving to become stronger. How could they, with their inferior talents, give up resistance and surrender to death just because the imperial army was too powerful?
That Elder Dragon God wanted to invade their cultivation grounds!
"I just took some pills, and I asked the Grand Elder for some cultivation resources. I refined some Martial Pills in the Netherworld and broke through the realm after consuming them."
Li Che explained.
Many people realized, and Feng Zhiqi's racing heart gradually slowed down.
So, Li Che needed to take pills to achieve such a fast speed!
But being able to reach this inhuman cultivation speed through pills was also remarkable.
"Grand Elder, I still need some resources. I can exchange them with my Divine Crane Carving skills, or I can also exchange them with Top-grade Heavenly Pills of the Fourth Virtue."
Li Che said.
Lu Taibai's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"You can refine Top-grade Heavenly Pills of the Fourth Virtue? No... it's not you, but you can ask the Divine Pill Master of the Netherworld to refine them for our Heavenly Origin Divine Sect?"
Lu Taibai's breathing quickened.
Li Che smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Li Che had a good impression of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect and felt a sense of belonging. It was the sect that provided a stable cultivation environment for his family.
So, doing something within his power was only natural.
Lu Taibai's breathing quickened, and without hesitation, he took out some extremely precious heavenly materials from the Qianyuan Jade.
Additionally, he also had a pill formula for refining Top-grade Heavenly Pills of the Fourth Virtue.
"This is the pill formula for refining the Tribulation Avoiding Wind Pill of the Fourth Virtue... Please ask that Divine Pill Master to refine it for me..."
"If it's successfully refined, I will express my gratitude!"
Lu Taibai said very solemnly.
"Tribulation Avoiding Wind Pill... Sect Master, do you want to use this pill to suppress the pressure of the Divine Wind and challenge the Divine Tribulation?"
"!"
Fang Hanshu's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but speak up.
"If I can borrow the power of pills... I still have a chance to withstand the Divine Annihilation Wind!"
Lu Taibai exhaled and smiled.
"The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect is facing a tremendous threat right now, and this old Dragon God is so domineering... Even with the help of the Grand Master, it might not be enough."
"As the Sect Master, I must step up..."
Fang Hanshu's eyes flashed with determination, and his fingers clenched.
"It's too dangerous... The Dao Position you've chosen is the Divine Annihilation Wind Dao Position. The Tribulation Avoiding Wind Pill can withstand the Three Tribulation Winds, but to resist the calamity of the Divine Annihilation Wind... It's difficult!"
"The success rate is less than one-tenth, it's not worth the risk!"
Fang Hanshu's voice deepened as he advised.
Lu Taibai's silver hair fluttered, and he smiled nonchalantly, his eyes glimmering with a hint of sorrow. "That old Dragon God... is willing to humble himself for the sake of his race's survival on land, even bowing his noble head in submission to the court..."
"As the master of a sect, how can I do nothing?"
"I, too, can dedicate everything for the sake of the sect!"
Lu Taibai spoke with a heavy tone.
"A one-tenth success rate... is enough!"
"I've already asked my wife to send a plea for help to the Xuanfu Divine Sect..."
"But I don't know if the Seven Kill's grandfather will be willing to intervene. Our fate... must be in our own hands. That old eel can fight, and I, Lu Taibai..."
"Can fight as well!"
Li Che and Fang Hanshu fell silent simultaneously.
Lu Qiankun, on the other hand, looked at his disciple with contentment. His child... had indeed grown up.
"Ah Che, please help me..."
Lu Taibai turned to Li Che, his eyes filled with a hint of pleading.
"Okay."
Li Che paused for a moment, then took the resources that Lu Taibai had prepared. He must have been preparing these resources for a while, even seeking out Gu Changqing, but he probably didn't get his approval...
Lu Taibai might have anticipated this day and wanted to refine the Tribulation Avoiding Wind Pill earlier, but the Heavenly Martial Pill Sect had already pledged allegiance to the court, so they naturally wouldn't agree to Lu Taibai's request.
Lu Taibai was delighted, and he believed in the Netherworld. This pill... should be secure.
Li Che, on the other hand, informed Fang Hanshu about the medicinal resources needed to refine the Nine Ascension Dragon Pillar.
"What are you planning to refine with these resources?"
Fang Hanshu was a bit bewildered.
Even with his extensive knowledge and experience, he couldn't immediately discern what Li Che wanted to refine.
Li Che smiled but didn't offer any explanations.
"Alright, I'll go to the Sect Resource Vault to get these for you. Although some are rare, with the Divine Crane Ridge backing us, we have no shortage of resources, and it shouldn't take long to prepare them."
Fang Hanshu said briefly.
He then bid farewell to Li Che and went to gather the necessary resources.
The others didn't linger either and left one after another.
After all, the Heavenly Origin Dao City was facing a tremendous threat, and although Li Che's breakthrough had dispelled some of the worries, the help wasn't significant enough to change the situation.
