Chapter 437: The Court of the Netherworld (Part 2)
Chapter 437: The Court of the Netherworld (Part 2)
Li Che, the Divine Falcon Artisan and the Fifth Elder of the Tianyuan Divine Sect, was a Divine Embryo Cultivator, holding an extremely revered status. Throughout Golden Light Prefecture, no one could compare.
Everyone was tense, but Li Che remained gentle.
After exchanging greetings with the crowd, Li Che's gaze fell upon Tang Sanjia, who was filled with joy and adoration as he looked at the Heaven Reach Armored. Tang Sanjia's entire being seemed to have fallen into a state of infatuation.
Despite his diminutive stature before this hundred-foot-tall Heaven-Embracing Armor, Tang Sanjia couldn't help but caress and stroke it, only able to reach its toes.
Yet, Tang Sanjia was enamored.
Suddenly, Tang Sanjia, in his infatuation, slapped the Heaven Reach Armored, and his burly body staggered back several steps, laughing heartily.
"Ah Che, take this Divine Mechanism Heaven Reach Armored with you. Leaving it here will only bury its potential. Once you complete this divine mechanism, you will be its true master, and only you can unleash its power, truly... shaking the world!"
Tang Sanjia's eyes shone with a bright light.
Li Che was surprised that Tang Sanjia was so decisive in letting go.
"Ah Che, promise me that you'll let the world know of the Tang Family's mechanisms once more and give them another shock exclusive to the Tang Family's mechanisms!"
"For example, when the Tang Family developed the unparalleled mechanism beast, its appearance shocked the world..."
"A mechanism beast comparable to a peak warrior... what a shocking feat!"
"And now, the Tang Family's mechanisms have reached a level where a single mechanism beast can rival a Divine Tribulation Cultivator!"
Tang Sanjia's face was filled with excitement and fervor.
"Moreover... I heard from Grand Supervisor Hu that Heaven-Attaining City is about to open, and you should be heading there. The inspiration for the Heaven Reach Armored came from Heaven-Attaining City, and I heard that the materials for crafting it were also obtained from there."
"So, when you go to Heaven-Attaining City, take the Heaven Reach Armored with you... it's perfect timing."
"Hu Yingyue, the Grand Supervisor of the Heaven-Envisioning Bureau in Jin Guang Prefecture, plucked the strings of her erhu, and with a light laugh, she said, "I just received news from the Great Jing National Master that all the cities under the Heaven-Envisioning Bureau..."
"There's an announcement to be made to the entire world."
"The Heaven-Attaining City has already been opened, and within a month, the once glorious and unparalleled legacy of the Heaven-Striking Temple, a thing of the past. It will soon resurface!"
"The Heaven-Attaining City will undoubtedly become the gathering place for heroes from all over the world."
Hu Yingyue turned her gaze to Li Che, her eyes flashing, "Li Shengshou, with your cultivation, you might still be lacking if you want to get involved in this gathering of heroes..."
"After all, with the opening of the Heaven-Attaining City, those who gather there will undoubtedly be the hidden Divine Tribulation and Martial Gods from various Divine Sects, and the top experts and top Divine Artifacts will also make their way there..."
"Now, with the help of the Heaven-Embracing Armor, you have the opportunity to do this."
Upon hearing this, Li Che's eyes shifted towards Tang Sanjia. Tang Sanjia nodded, his eyes filled with a stirring expression.
"The Heaven-Embracing Armor needs to go to this gathering of heroes and showcase its prowess. Only by going there can we truly impress everyone!"
"Li Shengshou, I'm counting on you."
Tang Sanjia clasped his fists and bowed.
Hearing this, Li Che lightly sighed.
"Alright..."
"I've always been a low-key person, and I'm not really fond of such high-profile matters."
The others all felt that Li Che's words were quite reasonable.
Indeed, Li Che was usually very low-key and never sought attention.
"But this time, I'll make an exception."
"Good, I'll make sure the Heaven-Embracing Armor becomes renowned across the world..."
Li Che agreed to Tang Sanjia's request.
After some casual conversation, Li Che did not linger any longer.
After putting away the Heaven-Embracing Armor and bidding farewell to the others, he clenched his fist, and in an instant, he vanished before their eyes.
Amidst the vast heavens and earth, a fierce blizzard raged.
Many powerful cultivators from Jin Guang Prefecture were left behind in the midst of the snowstorm.
Hu Yingyue play a spirited tune on her erhu.
Laughter echoed through the blizzard, refusing to dissipate.
"Jin Guang Prefecture is about to produce a true powerhouse!"
...
...
Buzz—
With a horizontal leap, Li Che instantly appeared hundreds of miles away.
Suspended in the air, his ink-colored robe fluttered in the wind.
In Li Che's eyes, a look of indifference and coldness emerged as he connected with the Heavens and Earth Chessboard, naturally observing the battle situation at the Heaven Dan Sect.
Li Che intended to thoroughly crush the Heaven Dan Sect.
After all, this sect had bullied Xixi in the past.
Moreover, this sect... was indeed despicable. Their methods, such as colluding with the Ascending Dragon Pillar, the Ascending Dragon Pill, and the Temple Deity, were all too evil.
Since they were guilty, Li Che felt no pressure in eliminating them.
Just as he had done in the past in the Flying Thunder City, although he was not a hero, he had a pair of iron fists ready to strike against evil!
"Additionally... Gu Yin Xuan..."
"A talented individual."
"Since he is talented, the Netherworld will naturally treat him with respect and hospitality."
Through the Heavens and Earth Chessboard, Li Che could observe the battle.
After the Nine Infants, who were fearless and unafraid of death, joined the battle, the Heaven Dan Sect was essentially in a one-sided defeat.
Li Che also saw that Gu Yin Xuan wanted to escape with Gu Yang Xuan.
Gu Yin Xuan, the Toxic Sage whom Li Che valued, decisively abandoned the Heaven Dan Sect.
"How could I let you get away?"
Li Che spread his fingers wide and clenched them tightly.
If such a talented Toxic Sage were to escape...
The threat would be too great.
Secretly poisoning others, leaving them defenseless.
For such a talented individual, the only way to ensure safety was to make them an ally.
Moreover, Gu Yang Xuan, a Divine Tribulation Cultivator, had set his sights on Xixi. Although Li Che was always keeping an eye on Xixi, when it came to such danger...
Li Che tended to err on the side of caution and eliminate the threat beforehand.
With his fingers clenched like a divine spear, a murderous aura surged.
In an instant, his entire person vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already within the Ink City.
He had arrived at the Guangling Dao City, the battlefield of the Heaven Dan Sect.
...
...
Boom—
In the sky, an incredibly thick tribulation thunderbolt appeared, resembling a lifelike true dragon, roaring as it poured down upon the world, its momentary brilliance suppressing all other light.
However, this tribulation thunderbolt mercilessly struck the monstrous beast, which was as large as a mountain, with nine heads wildly swinging, and an overwhelming demonic aura. The beast exploded into ink-like blood, and that was the end of it.
The Nine Infants frantically fought their way out, roaring to the heavens, their fleshly wings flapping, stirring up a howling gale. The power of the first and second tribulations erupted, shattering the space around them inch by inch! Gu Yin Xuan's face continuously twitched without pause.
He kept throwing out poison pills, and as they exploded in the air, these poison pills had no effect on the crazed beast!
Boom—!!!
Withstanding a strike head-on, Gu Yin Xuan was smashed into the shattered space, spitting out black blood. He glared at Gu Yang Xuan and cursed, "Why are you still here?! Run!"
Gu Yang Xuan's fleshy body trembled, and after making a decision, he did not hesitate. He abandoned the Heaven Dan Sect and chose to retreat with Gu Yin Xuan.
Gu Yin Xuan took out a black pill and snapped his finger, causing it to explode in the air!
Nine-Turn Ascending Dragon Pillar! Boom—!!!
A terrifying toxic mist instantly exploded in mid-air, engulfing the entire Heaven Dan Sect and Guangling Dao City.
Gu Yin Xuan showed no hesitation or mercy towards the so-called innocent lives.
The Heaven-Ascending Pill detonated.
In an instant, it rotated nine times in mid-air! Compared to Li Che, Gu Yin Xuan was more skilled in manipulating this Heaven-Ascending Pill, and this pill seemed even more terrifying than the one refined by Gu Changqing.
(End of this chapter)
Nine black dragons roared and intertwined, forming nine chains that entangled the body of the Sea-Flipping Nine Infants.
Perhaps the Ancient Dragon was once subjected to the Nine-Turn Ascending Dragon Pillar's attack, for despite having the strength of the First Calamity and Second Tribulation, the Sea-Flipping Nine Infants was completely restricted by the power of the Poison Pill, bound and suspended in mid-air.
Gu Yinhan's eyes lit up, "He's afraid of my Nine-Turn Ascending Dragon Pillar?!"
"Go!"
Gu Yinhan wouldn't let go of such a great opportunity to escape.
The main toxicity of the Nine-Turn Ascending Dragon Pillar was in restricting the Sea-Flipping Nine Infants.
So, a small portion of the toxicity spread to Guangling Dao City and the Heaven Dan Sect.
Within the Heaven Dan Sect's mountain gate, cultivators screamed as their skin turned black and they died instantly. Even Grandmasters and Divine Embryo Cultivators couldn't withstand it for long.
Only Martial Saints and Divine Embryo Cultivators could resist the corrosion, but even they could only delay the inevitable.
As the toxicity spread to their heart veins and limbs, they too perished.
On the palanquin, Xie Yunsen's expression changed slightly.
He gently waved his feather fan and shouted, "Gu Qianchi!"
Gu Qianchi was about to chase after Gu Yangxuan to show his dedication to his duties.
But upon hearing Xie Yunsen's stern shout, he was startled.
Sword light surged, blocking the direction from which the Nine-Turn Ascending Dragon Pillar's corrosion was approaching. The sword light, like a waterfall, blocked all the toxic mist.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—
Even the sword light, under the corrosion of the Nine-Turn Ascending Dragon Pillar, turned black.
"No wonder he's the Poison Sage... Truly venomous..."
Cold sweat dripped down Gu Qianchi's face.
Looking at the Heaven Dan Sect's mountain gate, where disciples were dying from the poison, he couldn't help but feel aghast at Gu Yinhan's sinister nature.
This person, as always, was sinister, completely disregarding human life, even that of his own sect's disciples.
Gu Yinhan and Gu Yangxuan reunited.
Their bodies collided with the space, and they escaped by leaping sideways.
However...
As Gu Yinhan controlled his mind to manipulate the Nine-Turn Ascending Dragon Pillar, he also made his escape.
Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine.
A black shadow loomed, and he saw a gigantic black city blocking their escape path.
It was the dark Netherworld Capital, Fengdu!
Gu Yangxuan instantly realized, his eyes widening in shock!
But when he saw the figure standing atop the city's tower, his initial fear dissipated.
Because the figure standing there wore a cold, horse-faced mask, with jet-black, vigorous hair dancing wildly above the mask!
The Netherworld Horse-Face?!
Gu Yangxuan was startled.
The identity of the Netherworld Horse-Face was already well-known throughout the world. Most people were aware of the true identity of the Netherworld Horse-Face.
The Netherworld Horse-Face... was none other than the Divine Falcon Saint of the Tianyuan Divine Sect, Li Che!
Gu Yangxuan's eyes narrowed.
He remembered Li Che's other identity.
The father of the top-grade medicinal pill, Li Nuanxi!
"I heard... you want to use my daughter to refine a medicinal pill?"
The emotionless words, cold and indifferent, resonated from beneath the horse-faced mask.
Gu Yangxuan let out a cold laugh.
"So what?"
"What? What can a father like you do for your daughter?"
Gu Yangxuan gave a cold smile. The Netherworld was indeed unfathomable, but the Netherworld Horse-Face... was quite ordinary.
However.
The next moment, Gu Yangxuan saw the Netherworld Horse-Face leap down from the tower.
He jumped down from the city wall at high speed, charging towards Gu Yangxuan!
Like a crazed wild horse galloping a thousand miles!
"You're asking for death!"
Gu Yangxuan's plump body trembled, and his twisted features shook with killing intent. How dare a mere horse-face be so arrogant before him? If it were the Ghost Emperor of the Netherworld, he might have been more cautious, but this horse-face, who wasn't even at the pinnacle of the Divine Tribulation Realm, was showing off.
Who dares to urinate on the head of the Heaven Dan Sect's Grandmaster? Gu Yangxuan's face twisted in rage, and the pill furnace on his back shook violently, releasing a terrifying surge of Qi and blood!
He wanted to blast this horse-face to pieces!
The Netherworld Horse-Face...
Was just a piece of trash who wasn't even at the pinnacle of the Divine Tribulation Realm. Aside from some remote control skills, what else could he do?
The next moment, Gu Yangxuan saw the horse-face suddenly throw out a statue.
His face instantly showed shock and horror! Because...
The statue swelled with the wind, transforming into a hundred-zhang tall terrifying mechanical beast!
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz—
Countless Ten Thousand Phenomena Mechanism Seals activated simultaneously, shining with a brilliant crimson light!
A powerful aura, unique to Martial Gods, erupted, destroying and annihilating everything in its path! Gu Yangxuan's eyes widened in shock.
"What... what is this?!"
"A mechanical beast?!"
"How can there be a mechanical beast of the Martial God level?!"
The horse-face's figure disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was already inside the mechanical beast's head, as if it had become the beast's brain.
The Divine Armageddon Monkey clenched its five fingers, and on its arms, countless Ten Thousand Phenomena Nine Divine Mechanism Seals clanged.
Then, a surge of heat and Dao Essence erupted! Purple Dao Tribulation fire enveloped the Divine Armageddon Monkey's fist.
Space shattered inch by inch within that punch! It fiercely struck towards Gu Yangxuan, who was shocked and unprepared! Bang!!!
The earth shook, and blood and flesh flew in all directions!
