Chapter 421: New Member of the Netherworld, Who is Above the King of Hell? Zhao Zu Shi Enters the Netherworld and Recovers (Part 2)
Li Che turned to Zhang Ya, embraced his wife, and spoke softly to her for a moment.
Then he continued his seclusion.
Breaking through the Martial Saint Fourth Opening...
Li Che was about to get busy!
...
...
On the Grand Canal.
The old Dragon God stood with his hands behind his back as the waves surged. He turned to look in the direction of the Heavenly Origin Dao City, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Such pure blood and martial will, unwavering and extraordinary. This is the pinnacle of the Martial Dao Summit, breaking through the Martial Sage Fourth Opening!"
The old Dragon God narrowed his eyes, a hint of seriousness in his gaze.
Was there such a remarkable figure within the Heavenly Origin Dao City?
Xie Yunshen's clothes fluttered in the wind, and he gently shook his feather fan, smiling as he spoke, "It's probably that Li Half-step Martial Sage who has broken through, but even so, he's still just a Martial Sage..."
Xie Yunshen didn't hide his master's identity but revealed it proactively while emphasizing that Li Che was only a Martial Sage, dispelling the old Dragon God's caution.
Xie Yunshen's perception was very sharp, and he had already sensed that his master... had significantly improved his combat strength after breaking through the Martial Saint Fourth Opening.
Therefore, things would no longer be peaceful, and the master would start taking action...
And this old Dragon God was undoubtedly a hurdle that the master couldn't avoid, an existence he had to confront.
So, by downplaying the old Dragon God's attention on Li Che, Xie Yunshen was offering some help, albeit minimal.
Hearing this, the old Dragon God lifted the corners of his lips slightly, "Indeed, just a Martial Sage... This Li Half-step Martial Sage has exceptional talent. In just seven years, he went from a novice to the apex..."
"If given more time, he might become another Great Jing Dynasty Founder, Lu Taicang!"
Xie Yunshen narrowed his eyes, "Dragon God Senior, isn't this evaluation a bit exaggerated?"
The old Dragon God burst into laughter, glancing at Xie Yunshen, "Little guy, wait until you've suffered a great loss at the hands of such a talented person, then you'll understand..."
"Old Dragon here is not exaggerating, if anything, I'm being conservative."
Hearing this, Xie Yunshen couldn't help but smile, unbothered.
Old eel, you know nothing.
...
...
In the study.
Li Che, who had just broken through, reactivated the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, blocking all perception and scans.
He sat upright in the chair, and the hot tea bubbled, emitting steam.
After taking a sip, he snapped his fingers, and Gu Changqing's Binding Spirit appeared. This pill refining master had indeed been a great help to Li Che...
"Master!"
Gu Changqing's Binding Spirit spoke with utmost respect.

Li Che took out the pill formula and medicinal ingredients requested by Lu Taibai and handed them to Gu Changqing.
"Can you refine it?" Li Che asked.
Gu Changqing glanced at the pill formula and smiled confidently, "A Top-grade Fourth Virtue Heavenly Martial Pill? Of course, it's possible. No big issue..."
Gu Changqing was very confident in his pill refinement skills, which had long surpassed the level of ordinary Divine Pill Masters.
"Then let's begin the refinement."
Li Che then brought Gu Changqing into Ink City.
A Binding Spirit Pill Master... was truly too convenient. Being able to refine pills without being locked onto by tribulations was simply too cheeky, but Li Che liked it.
After all, if the Binding Spirit really wanted to transcend tribulations, it would inevitably be related to him, Li Che, and there was no escaping it.
This saved him a lot of trouble.
"The Martial Saint's Fourth Opening requires the guidance of the Heavenly Gate..."
"Successfully guiding the Heavenly Gate and opening it, receiving the divine essence from within, is considered the true entry into the top-tier apex realm."
Li Che's eyes sparkled.
He raised his hand and looked at his flesh, which was like translucent jade, through which he could see the golden blood flowing like quicksilver.
"The pure martial path... the Immortal Warrior Body is formed."
"If the Heavenly Gate I guide opens, what will pour out from within... is it divine essence?"
Li Che fell into deep thought.
However, Li Che wasn't in a hurry.
With his breakthrough in cultivation, his physical body had also received some feedback and enhancement.
"Unfortunately, this breakthrough didn't involve guiding tribulation thunder... I thought I could attract tribulation thunder and use it to advance my Thunder Magnetic Body's Dao Fruit to Level 6."
Li Che sighed softly.
The reason he attracted tribulation thunder during his previous Martial Saint's Third Opening was because it was his first time touching the limit realm.
The first time for anything is always very important.
And now, although the Martial Dao Summit was ten thousand feet high, he had indeed touched the limit.
But it wasn't his first time.
His mind stirred slightly.
Before his eyes, a stream of light flowed like a gentle current.
[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV6, 98%)]
Li Che's eyebrows relaxed, and he shook his head lightly.
After breaking through to the Martial Saint's Fourth Opening, the maturity of the Dao Fruit he obtained was indeed as little as he had imagined.
Besides the fact that his breakthrough was mainly due to consuming pills...
It was also because the path to the Martial Dao Summit... was primarily about comprehending the Martial Dao. When he was forming the Immortal Warrior Body, he had comprehended the Martial Dao, and at that time, because of this understanding, the maturity of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit increased...
"So, this breakthrough didn't increase the Dao Fruit's maturity as much as I imagined."
Li Che remained calm and composed.
After all, there wasn't a big issue.
Breaking through to the Martial Saint's Fourth Opening was already sufficient for Li Che.
Within his chest, the Immortal in Painting Dao Fruit was wildly throbbing, giving feedback to Li Che, indicating that Ink City Fengdu had been completely restored.
It seemed... it was time to take action against Zhao Beidou, the Divine Tribulation.
With his current abilities, he should be able to bind a Divine Tribulation! Zhao Beidou had managed to survive for so long.
He had earned enough.
Killing Zhao Beidou and receiving feedback from the Dao Fruit for killing an opponent of a higher level would undoubtedly result in a significant increase in Dao Fruit maturity...
Advancing the Dragon Elephant Vajra to Level 6 wouldn't be difficult; it would be more like a natural progression.
Killing Zhao Beidou...
Was like the final step.
"Huff—"
"Suck—"
Li Che sat in a chair, inhaling and exhaling, his blood and energy flowing slowly throughout his body, rumbling like thunder.
Killing Zhao Beidou was very important...
Because after killing Zhao Beidou and binding the spirit, this Divine Tribulation's Binding Spirit... was the key to dealing with the Elder Dragon God.
Li Che dared not underestimate the power of a One Tribulation Two Cataclysms Dragon God.
He had to plant his chess pieces in advance.
The Dragon King's son, a Dragon Son, wasn't enough! Li Che wanted to kill more!
The heavens and earth suddenly became quiet, and Li Che exhaled like thunder, slowly standing up. His mind swept across the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
A part of his mind was focused on Xixi's situation.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Oh? This little girl... facing the pursuit of a Martial Saint, is actually thinking of counterattacking?"
"She's truly a tiger cub..."
Li Che was full of admiration.
This girl's actions were not at all steady, and she didn't have a trace of her father's cautious demeanor.
If there wasn't a ninety percent certainty...
It would be a very dangerous matter...
He sent a strand of his mind to continue observing Xixi's situation.
Li Che's five fingers tore through the air, and in the next moment, he grabbed a black and white divided Netherworld King Mask.
Looking at the Netherworld King Mask in his palm, Li Che's eyes flashed.
"It's about time to find an opportunity to create a new mask and forge a new member of the Netherworld to maintain its mystery..."
Li Che smiled lightly.
The Netherworld... who was above the King Yama? A deep laugh echoed like thunder within the study.
Then, it turned into a terrifying killing intent, raging and venting!
The black robe fluttered, and the black and white King Yama Mask emitted golden smoke from its eyes.
His palm flipped over, and his five fingers resembled divine spears, gently clenching.
The next moment...
The King Yama completely disappeared within the study.
Only a Divine Crane Ridge Avatar quietly sipped tea.
...
...
Boom—
Along the Grand Canal.
The river water churned, roaring in unrest, and the Elder Dragon God sat in the center of the river, covering the heavens and earth with terrifying pressure.
And on the riverbank.
The imperial army's camp was constantly being set up.
The leaden clouds were thick, and the dim light made the heavens and earth seem to have lost their colors.
Inside a huge, spacious tent.
Zhao Beidou wore a dragon and tiger embroidered Daoist robe and sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion. This was a cushion used for healing, and with its assistance, the recovery was much faster than simple cultivation.
The injury was primarily a crack that had formed on the Calamity Wheel, a serious matter for a Divine Tribulation Cultivator.
It was a genuine injury to the source!
If not treated with care, the wound might never heal, and his Calamity Wheel could continue to deteriorate!
Moreover, he would never dare to face the Divine Tribulation head-on again. Because, with any tribulation... his Calamity Wheel would be unable to bear the burden, inevitably destroying it and causing his cultivation to vanish into ashes, leaving him utterly lost as a wandering soul under the tribulation.
"Fortunately... the Netherworld is also severely injured. That Small Mystic Realm was destroyed by me. Even if the Netherworld's Divine Tribulation regathers, it will take at least ten years, and the King Yama has paid such a heavy price to severely injure me. How can my physical body withstand such power... even if I don't die, I'll be crippled!"
Zhao Beidou exhaled, his white-haired, childlike face now showing signs of aging, making him appear much older.
Whenever he thought about his injuries, Zhao Beidou would console himself by thinking that the Netherworld had also suffered a heavy blow.
Suddenly, faint footsteps could be heard.
Xie Yun Shen's weak voice echoed from outside the tent, "Grandmaster, please wait outside the tent... I want to discuss with Zhao Ancestor the matters regarding the upcoming campaign against the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect."
The gentle voice of the Yellow-Eyebrowed Grand Master also rang out, "Amitabha, please proceed, National Master."
Then, the sound of rustling fabric filled the air.
Xie Yun Shen stood outside the tent and spoke softly, "Zhao Ancestor, may I come in and have a chat?"
Zhao Beidou sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Then, he relaxed and smiled, "Of course, it's cold outside the tent. National Master, please come in quickly."
Xie Yun Shen lifted the curtain and stepped into the tent.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Xie Yun Shen, wearing a crane cloak, coughed repeatedly, his face looking somewhat sickly.
Zhao Beidou looked at the ailing Xie Yun Shen and sighed softly. The National Master was in worse condition than he was. The side effects of using the Fortune Lotus...
Had caused the National Master's health to deteriorate further.
It was ultimately his fault for neglecting his duties.
Zhao Beidou took out a meditation cushion and placed it in front of him. With a snap of his fingers, the White Hellfire burned, instantly warming the tent.
"National Master, please take a seat."
Zhao Beidou said with a smile.
Xie Yun Shen smiled and sat cross-legged on the cushion.
"National Master, you've come to find this old man. What's the matter?"
Zhao Beidou asked, stroking his beard.
Xie Yun Shen coughed once, his eyes dimmed with gloom, "Zhao Ancestor, as you can see, my body... is getting worse and worse. It's really difficult to borrow the Fortune Lotus."
"Now, with the help of the Elder Dragon God, our imperial army has the confidence to launch a new campaign against the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect..."
"But the Netherworld is still a mystery to us, and we still need Zhao Ancestor's help."
Zhao Beidou's face softened into a gentle smile. Xie Yun Shen, as the National Master, always had a way with words...
"Unfortunately, my Calamity Wheel is injured, and I'm not in a condition to take action for now. But I can sit here as a Divine Tribulation, exerting immense pressure and making the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect and the Netherworld think twice."
However, after Zhao Beidou finished speaking.
Xie Yun Shen shook his head, "That's not appropriate."
The smile on Zhao Beidou's face gradually faded.
You were the one who persuaded him to stay!
You promised not to take action!
Now, do you want him to risk his life and face the tribulation with a shattered Calamity Wheel?!
Do you expect him, a dignified Divine Tribulation Cultivator, to be your servant?!
Zhao Beidou's face grew colder, and he hummed in disapproval.
Xie Yun Shen looked at Zhao Beidou and smiled, as if he hadn't noticed his foul mood.
"Zhao Ancestor's injury is too severe. It's best if we can heal it before the campaign against the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect..."
Xie Yun Shen spoke sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Beidou's foul mood softened slightly. It seemed he had misunderstood.
But he shook his head with a bitter smile, "National Master, you are not a Divine Tribulation Cultivator, so you wouldn't understand..."
"An injury to the Calamity Wheel is the most challenging wound for any Divine Tribulation Cultivator. Healing it is not a matter of a day or two."
"At least five years are needed for this old man to nurse the Calamity Wheel and heal its cracks."
After Zhao Beidou finished speaking, Xie Yun Shen smiled and shook his head again, "Five years... that's too long."
"Oh? Does the National Master have some heavenly treasure to offer? Perhaps the priceless Sanqing Spirit Nourishing Pill?"
Zhao Beidou scoffed.
He didn't believe Xie Yun Shen could produce such a treasure as the Sanqing Spirit Nourishing Pill.
Even if he could, he wouldn't let him consume it.
As expected, Xie Yun Shen shook his head again.
And after shaking his head...
Xie Yun Shen raised his head, his eyes fixed on Zhao Beidou.
"National Master... there is another way to heal Zhao Ancestor's injuries and restore his cultivation in just one day."
Zhao Beidou's eyebrows furrowed tightly.
His heart, for some reason, started pounding with unease.
"What method?"
Zhao Beidou narrowed his eyes.
Xie Yun Shen stretched out his five fingers.
A Fortune Lotus suddenly bloomed beneath Zhao Beidou, causing his eyes to widen and his face to flush with anger.
His heart's unease erupted, and he couldn't contain it any longer!
This Xie Yun Shen...
Had gone mad!
The National Master Xie Yun Shen spread his arms and said, "Zhao Ancestor!"
"The method is..."
"Enjoy eternal life, immortality, and enter my Netherworld!"
