Chapter 452: Unprecedented Dual Dao Fruits, Four Transformations, and the Earth-Shattering Power of the Netherworld

Upon seeing the Black Bull Demon God, a thought emerged in Li Che's mind—to grant this demon a position among the Ink Ten Evils in the Ink Ten Evils Painting.

A Two-Calamity Demon God was indeed worthy of such a position.

At the very least, after the First Evil, the Ancient Dragon God's Sea-Flipping Nine Heads, Li Che had little regard for one-calamity, one-tribulation demons. The second position among the Ten Evils would require at least a one-calamity, three-tribulation demon.

However, this wasn't a significant issue. The Ink Ten Evils could enhance their strength by devouring demon souls.

Therefore, Li Che would only choose suitable demons, and their combat power couldn't be too weak.

For Li Che, the Ink Ten Evils Painting was similar to the Bind Deity technique, but when combined with the Ten Thousand Transformations Nine Divine Mechanism Seals of the Ten Thousand Transformations Emperor, it could yield unexpected surprises.

It was one of Li Che's trump cards; the Ink Ten Evils Painting, together with the Ten Thousand Transformations Nine Divine Mechanism Seals, might significantly boost Li Che's combat power.

Within the courtyard, the air currents rippled gently.

Since the Qitian City had been occupied by demons for five hundred years, the city seemed enveloped in a sea of demonic energy. Additionally, there was a hazy mist emanating from the Wiles Pavilion, creating a barrier that obscured the will of heaven and earth.

Seated in the courtyard, Li Che's mind was calm and focused. The Heavenly Chessboard appeared in mid-air, blocking all forms of detection.

The Black Bull Demon God had arranged for a demon god to spy on Li Che from outside the courtyard, but this had little effect on Li Che.

Even a one-calamity, two-tribulation demon god would find it impossible to tear through the Heavenly Chessboard and spy on Li Che, and the same was true if the Black Bull Demon God himself came.

The Chess Saint Dao Fruit had now reached the sixth level, making it even more powerful. Only Li Che could peer into others; it was extremely difficult for others to do the same to him.

A deep rumble echoed.

The wisp of Heavenly Crane Demon God's demonic energy extracted from Li Che's chest did not hinder the transformation of the Ten Thousand Transformations Emperor Dao Fruit.

This transformation required some time, but for Li Che, it was within an acceptable range.

So, while waiting for the Dao Fruit's transformation, Li Che stood up and refined his martial arts.

In his battle against the Heavenly Crane Demon God, Li Che hadn't used the power of the Dao Tribulation. He relied solely on his martial arts, and under immense pressure, he finally managed to open the fourth Martial Saint's Martial Heaven Gate.

However, unlike other Martial Saints who cultivated the Divine Martial Arts, when Li Che's Heaven Gate opened, what descended from it wasn't the boundless divine essence...

This divine essence could be used to refine and transform the physical body, leading to a sublime metamorphosis and preparing for the breakthrough to the Divine Tribulation realm.

But when Li Che's Golden Heaven Gate opened, what gushed out was not divine essence but pure and extreme Martial Immortal energy!

It was as if a Martial Immortal sat within the Golden Heaven Gate.

The pure and extreme energy continuously enhanced Li Che's martial arts progress, causing his energy to surge uncontrollably.

The intensity of this surge was such that opening a single Heaven Gate propelled Li Che's energy strength to a level comparable to the explosion of seven Divine Gates.

Of course, it was still slightly weaker than the explosion of eight Divine Gates.

However, this was just the foundation of his energy. Li Che had yet to explode any of his Divine Seeds, and he had already reached this level of strength. One could imagine how much his energy would swell if he were to explode his Divine Seeds!

This powerful energy continuously tempered Li Che's Martial Immortal Golden Body, further enhancing it.

[Dragon Elephant Fusion Furnace: Martial Immortal Golden Body (12%)]



A deep rumble reverberated.

Li Che raised his five fingers, clenching them gently, and the sound of his tendons and bones resonating filled the air.

As he circulated his energy throughout his body, he could sense tiny golden lights in his meridians and arms, increasing in number and covering a broader area.

The toughness and strength of his physical body had also significantly improved, thanks to Li Che's already robust physique, which allowed him to withstand the overwhelming pressure of the fully opened Heaven Gate and the torrential energy surging out. He used this pressure to further temper his body.

Li Che exhaled, and within the courtyard, a raging storm formed, intertwining and surging like a flood.

Others would carefully open a tiny slit in their Heaven Gate to cautiously draw in the divine essence.

But Li Che, with his unparalleled dominance, boldly opened the Heaven Gate wide, allowing the Martial Immortal energy to pour down.

If it had been anyone else, their physical body would have been torn apart by this energy, exploding into pieces.

With a thought, a stream of light flowed before Li Che's eyes.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (Lv.7, 18%)]



In his ears, it was as if the sound of countless dragons and elephants roaring in unison filled the air. Reaching the seventh level of the Dao Fruit, further advancement would become increasingly challenging.

However, this time, after opening the Heaven Gate and slaying a demon god, Li Che only gained a 3% increase in maturity, causing him to frown slightly.

"It's becoming more and more difficult to improve."

"The nine transformations of the Dao Fruit... that difficulty will likely be even greater..."

Li Che shook his head slightly, recalling the image of powerful cultivators holding the Dao Fruit, expressing the challenges of its nine transformations.

Closing his eyes slightly, the increased maturity of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit brought a moment of enlightenment.

Li Che had been accumulating these moments of enlightenment related to martial arts.

Now, he could utilize this enlightenment, perhaps allowing him to make a breakthrough and complete the transformation of the Qian Shan Du Xing Shen Dao, from the True Martial Transformation to the Immortal Martial Arts.

The Immortal Martial Art, Golden Deer Sealing Seal, had reached a barely passable level for Li Che.

Advancing further was becoming increasingly challenging.

But one Immortal Martial Art wasn't enough; Li Che wanted to transform all eight Divine Gates into Immortal Gates. He needed to enhance his other martial arts as well.

A deep rumble echoed.

In a vague moment, Li Che's mind stirred, and the tribulation thunder was once again stirred.

This was the wrath of heaven and earth triggered by opening the Heaven Gate in martial arts.

Li Che glanced around the courtyard.

Standing up, his ink-black robe billowed, and the bull demon mask on his face remained untouched.

He took a step forward, as if surrounded by countless ink mists, and as Li Che walked, another figure appeared in his place, wearing a cute bull mask—a bull demon.

This was the painting fairy's clone, the bull demon.

With his five fingers gripping the Thunder Chess Piece, Li Che left only the bull demon and the painting fairy's clone in the courtyard, while his entire body had already disappeared.

Outside the outer city of Heaven City, beyond the courtyard.

A crack appeared in the void, and a figure wrapped in a black robe seemed to hang upside down from the rift, with eyes that seemed to have countless circles spinning within.

"Finally, I've found it... This Netherworld... Their methods are indeed mysterious."

"However, they still can't escape my Night Bat Demon God's ultrasonic perception!"

Earlier, when he probed the small courtyard, he felt that the entire place was shrouded by a mysterious power, and his ultrasonic perception seemed to be endlessly circling in a vast maze.

But now, he finally had a sense of clarity, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the truth.

He also saw the bull demon, Bull One, Bull Two, and Bull Three, all meditating in the courtyard.

"Hahaha—"

The Night Bat Demon God chuckled softly, and the crack in the void closed completely.

Only invisible, transparent ripples continued to spread out.

He kept a close eye on the situation in the courtyard.

...

...

Whoosh!

Outside Heaven City.

Demonic energy raged, filling the sky, and blood-colored rain poured down from the sky, carrying the wails of the demon gods.

The oppressive and gloomy atmosphere continued to spread.

Li Che stepped out of the courtyard and returned to Xi Xi's side.

The little girl blinked her big eyes, excitedly watching the intense battles outside Heaven City, her face flushed with excitement.

After all, the battles outside Heaven City were extremely fierce.

Even the weakest were top-tiered, peerless-level demon kings, and of course, Xi Xi was still looking forward to a clash between Divine Tribulation-level experts.

Such battles were indeed a rare sight on regular days.

Xi Xi, with her combative nature, naturally hoped to witness such a fierce contest.

The fall of the Crane Demon God seemed to have greatly dampened the morale of the many powerful demons occupying Heaven City.

The Antelope Demon God replaced the fallen Crane Demon God, guarding the western gate of Heaven City.

However, until now, there had been no Divine Tribulation-level cultivators challenging the Antelope Demon God, only top-tiered, peerless-level, and great god-level cultivators challenging the top-tiered demon kings under the Antelope Demon God.

After Li Che killed a wave of demon kings, the demon kings under the Antelope Demon God were indeed weaker than those under the Crane Demon God.

After several intense confrontations, a few top-tiered, peerless-level cultivators indeed defeated the demon kings and entered Heaven City.

Compared to the opening of the Netherworld, these top-tiered, peerless-level cultivators entering Heaven City further stirred up the others.

Challenges became more fervent, with cultivators even heading to the south and north gates to take on the challenge.

However, these challenges were not without risk. Just as the Netherworld's bull demon had killed a demon god, the demons in Heaven City, though slightly weakened, had their killing intent intensified.

During the confrontations, there were also cultivators killed and their flesh and blood devoured, making the tense atmosphere even more severe.

After spending some time with Xi Xi, Li Che chose to teleport away.

When he reappeared, he was already above the Grand Canal, having passed through the Jiangnan region.

On the river's surface, Li Che sat cross-legged, and the entire Grand Canal began to churn, as if waves were rising, and beneath the river, a terrifying dragon stirred, creating a huge wave!

In the sky above, thunder rumbled, and the intertwining lightning almost illuminated the entire sky, causing the black clouds to lose their oppressive nature.

Li Che's ink-black robe, embroidered with golden lotuses, fluttered in the wind, and his entire body seemed to be sitting atop a floating leaf, rising and falling with the river's waves.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a bolt of thunder burst forth, tearing through the clouds, roaring as it descended, transforming into a thunderous dragon, intertwining with terrifying blood and energy, and slamming down with force.

Li Che was slightly surprised to see that this thunder contained blood and energy.

However, his surprise didn't last long, as the Thunder Magnetic Dao Body fruit within his chest cavity was frantically pulsating.

This Dao fruit had already reached the 5th level, with a maturity of 95%, just needing the right opportunity to undergo a metamorphosis.

Now, after opening the Heavenly Gate and drawing down heavenly thunder, it was the perfect time to complete this transformation.

Li Che looked up, gazing at the rapidly descending thunder dragon, which seemed to come to life amidst the intertwining blood and energy.

Buzz!

A buzzing sound filled the air, and Li Che's entire body instantly transformed into a dazzling golden color. His golden hair danced wildly, and his aura soared.

Beneath him, the river water instantly exploded, creating a massive crater.

He soared into the sky, engaging in a fierce battle with the thunder dragon!

After the tribulation, Li Che remained calm, and with his current Wu Xian Jin Shen's strength, the thunder tribulation couldn't affect him.

Li Che took a step forward, and Ink City, the Capital of the Netherworld, appeared above the river, and he entered the city.

He had no choice but to undergo the tribulation in the outside world, as only the will of heaven and earth could summon the tribulation lightning.

However, when cultivating the martial path, Li Che felt that Ink City was a more suitable place, as even if he damaged the city, it would help make it more resilient, a win-win situation.

So, during his daily cultivation, Li Che chose to do so within Ink City.

...

...

Heaven City.

The massive Heaven City was shrouded by the surging demonic energy.

The Black Bull Demon God no longer manifested his demonic energy above the city but had gathered with other demon gods in the city lord's mansion.

Heaven City was divided into an outer and inner city.

The inner city of Heaven City was where the Heaven-Striking Temple and the main body of the Wicked Temple were located.

Even the Black Bull Demon God, who had been in Heaven City for five hundred years, had never set foot in the inner city.

The Black Bull Demon God sat in the City Lord's Mansion of Heaven City, enveloped in a towering demonic aura, his eyes like two red-hot branding irons.

"The Netherworld Bull Demon... I've already dispatched the Night Bat Demon God to keep watch over him."

"The Netherworld faction is too mysterious, comparable to the Hunt Shen Pavilion. However, compared to the Hunt Shen Pavilion, the Netherworld still falls short."

The Black Bull Demon God spoke in a deep voice.

Below him, a demon god couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, are we really going to share this opportunity in Heaven City with the human race?"

"We guard Heaven City, and even if human experts want to attack, it won't be that easy. They would have to pay a heavy price and face countless divine tribulations to breach the city."

"Besides, we demons have occupied Heaven City for five hundred years. Why should we let human cultivators come in and divide our treasures?"

A demon god expressed deep reluctance.

"And that Netherworld Bull Demon... Your Highness! The Celestial Crane Demon God was killed by him. We shouldn't hold back; we should kill that Netherworld Bull Demon as well!"

The demon gods, each shrouded in a vast demonic aura, stood tall in the City Lord's Mansion, their killing intent intertwining fiercely.

However, the Black Bull Demon God merely shook his head, "Our goal is the resonance of the Temple God... The Temple God of Heaven City, the Battle Prison Hell Lotus Demon Saint, is one of us demons, but he's not entirely a demon. If only we demons participate in the Temple God's resonance, it might not be enough to stimulate a complete resonance."

"So, we still need to let the human race join and participate in the Temple God's resonance. With diversity, we can better stimulate the Temple God's resonance and have a greater chance of gaining more benefits."

The Black Bull Demon God spoke calmly.

As a Two-Calamity Demon God, his words carried an unquestionable authority, causing the other demon gods to immediately cease their objections.

"But what if... we don't obtain the Heaven City's inheritance during the Temple God's resonance?"

A demon god asked with uncertainty.

However, the Black Bull Demon God was extremely confident, "That won't happen..."

"The majority of Heaven City's inheritance will belong to us because Heaven City is a Demon Saint, and only demons can obtain the greatest inheritance from him. As for humans... unless they become half-demons, where would they get demonic energy?"

"Enough, let's not discuss this further. The inheritance of the Demon Saint of Heaven City... we demons of the Ten Thousand Great Rivers will never give up on it, and the human race won't be able to compete with us for this opportunity."

The flawless version is available at 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ BookⅩ Bar! The first chapter is available at 6Ⅹ9 BookⅩ Bar.

"There's another matter. The death of the Celestial Crane Demon God will not be taken lightly by me. The human race... will pay a price for their arrogance, even if it's the Netherworld."

"We demons are never afraid of anything!"

"Now, we need the human race to balance the Temple God's resonance..."

"But when the time comes to turn against them, it will be their end!"

"The Netherworld Bull Demon... the Divine Monkey... not one of them will escape!"

"And that young girl from the Qianyuan Sect, rumored to be the reincarnation of the Hell Lotus's daughter, the future ruler of the Hell Lotus in the Divine Camp... such a girl, if captured and sent to the Wiles Pavilion of the Ten Thousand Great Rivers, might become the greatest contribution to our Wiles Pavilion in breaking through the Hell Lotus! We will surely receive great blessings from the Supreme Ones!"

As the Black Bull Demon God finished speaking, the entire City Lord's Mansion was filled with the howls of the gathered demon gods, like the wails of ghosts and wolves.

The demonic energy surged like a tide, resembling boiling water, bubbling and churning endlessly.

The Black Bull Demon God sat high above.

He drank blood wine, his eyes filled with a sinister and fierce light.

...

...

Within the Ink City of the Capital of the Netherworld, the ink mist swirled, no longer falling as rain due to the city's restoration.

Sizzling sounds filled the air as Li Che's body was enveloped in intertwining lightning, remnants of his recent tribulation.

In his chest, the Thunder Magnetic Dao Body Dao Fruit trembled continuously, as if a heavenly god was vigorously beating a war drum.

Not only that, but the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Dao Fruit also shook violently, resembling the roar of a Kunpeng and the soaring of a great Peng.

It was as if the sound of the Dao was rumbling, shaking endlessly, and only after a long time did it gradually dissipate.

[Dao Fruit: Thunder Magnetic Dao Body (lv6, 0%)]



[Dao Fruit: Ten Thousand Demons Emperor (lv6, 0%)]



...

The flowing light rotated slowly.

Both Dao Fruits underwent simultaneous metamorphosis! For Li Che, this was an unprecedented experience.

A slight curve formed at the corners of his lips.

"Huff—"

"Suck—"

Sitting cross-legged on the rooftop of the Ink City Lord's Mansion, he overlooked the entire city.

The wind and waves raged, intertwining fiercely.

With Li Che's inhalation and exhalation, the entire Ink City seemed to hold its breath, gradually falling into silence.

In Li Che's mind, all distracting thoughts vanished, leaving only the ink-filled sky, the gentle ink rain, and the sound of the wind.

As expected, after several peaceful breaths, his heart stirred slightly.

In an instant, he entered the Dao Tree space.

Both Dao Fruits simultaneously transformed into lv6, indicating that they would undergo metamorphosis in the Dao Tree space.

Within the Dao Tree, the wind and waves intertwined.

The two Dao Fruits fell from the Dao Tree, radiating brilliant, colorful light.

It was as if countless divine lights were stacked upon them, and in Li Che's eyes, the two Dao Fruits hovered and soared.

Countless thunderbolts exploded and intertwined, forming a majestic Thunder God.

Another Dao Fruit burst open, revealing a scene within—a terrifying ancient Demon Emperor spread its wings, and instantly, countless demons prostrated themselves.

Buzzing sounds filled the air as the space rippled, and the scene shattered.

The consciousness shook, and Li Che exited the Dao Tree space.

Sitting cross-legged on the rooftop, his eyes suddenly opened and closed, and within the inner landscape of his Niwan Palace, the divine embryos trembled and roared incessantly.

In his eyes, one eye was filled with intertwining thunder, and the other with soaring demonic energy, as if the two Dao Fruits had merged into one.

[Dao Fruit lv6, Fourth Metamorphosis, Promotion of Divine Ability (Hell Thunder), Dao Induction (Thunder Magnetic Extreme Pressure)]



【Dao Guo Level 6, Fourth Transformation, Divine Ability (Yao Xian) Promotion, Dao Induction (Yin Yang Demon Sword)】

...

Prompts continuously appeared before his eyes, intertwining in front of him.

After the two Dao Guo underwent the fourth transformation, the Dao Induction that emerged upon promotion further deepened Li Che's foundation.

Seated in the Hall of Dominance.

Li Che's ink-black robe fluttered as he began to study two types of Dao Induction. Among them, the Thunder Magnetic Extreme Compression Dao Induction involved compressing the mastered thunder power to the extreme and then releasing it. The longer the compression time, the more powerful the explosion...

Li Che felt that this technique might be able to upgrade his Guanyin Lotus Cannon, which hadn't been upgraded in a long time.

The transformation of the Chess Saint Dao Guo, combined with the Black and White Extreme Collapse and the Great Avalanche, had significantly enhanced the power of the Guanyin Lotus Cannon, allowing it to bombard Martial Saints.

However, that was its limit.

It seemed like the upper limit had been reached, and that was due to the lack of an essential explosive force.

The destructive power wasn't strong enough, and for top-tier experts, it was naturally insufficient.

But this time, the awakened Dao Induction opened a new door for Li Che.

"I possess the Shen Xiao Lei, and if I compress it to the extreme, what level of power can I achieve?"

Li Che raised his hand, and the Shen Xiao Lei instantly surged into his palm.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

The arcs of thunder danced, as if distorting space itself.

Dao Induction: Thunder Magnetic Extreme Compression!

With a thought, the Dao Induction was activated!

In an instant, Li Che felt his palm transform into a vortex, causing the thunder to spiral and gather towards it.

The Shen Xiao Lei rolled and surged continuously!

And before his eyes, a prompt appeared.

【Thunder Magnetic Extreme Compression: Fivefold】

Fivefold... Tenfold... Fifteenfold...

The multiplier kept increasing.

Li Che's hair floated uncontrollably, and every pore seemed to be erupting with electricity!

The Shen Xiao Lei in Li Che's hand became increasingly dark.

The massive Shen Xiao Lei slowly floated in Li Che's palm, transforming into a thunder pill the size of a mung bean.

Hidden within, thunder rumbled and spun continuously.

【Thunder Magnetic Extreme Compression: Hundredfold】

Finally.

When the thunder magnetic extreme compression reached a hundredfold, it had already reached the limit of Li Che's current compression ability.

It couldn't be compressed further, and the explosive power contained within that tiny pill was already at a level that made Li Che's hair stand on end and his pores tighten.

With a snap of his fingers.

The Shen Xiao Lei pill, compressed a hundredfold, silently traced an arc in the air.

It seemed as if space itself was distorted as the pill passed through, twisted by an incredibly terrifying energy!

The pill floated slowly.

Finally, it landed in the center of Ink City's Capital of the Netherworld.

Li Che's spiritual sense perceived the tiny pill, which contained a terrifying destructive power, as it fell onto the ground of Ink City's Capital of the Netherworld. The bricks on the ground automatically melted, as if reduced to dust.

And the pill continued to spin and float.

Within a one-inch radius, the pill's energy had almost created a vacuum field!

A smile appeared on Li Che's face.

It seemed like he had finally created something fun to play with.

And it was as if he was delighted at the prospect of a significant upgrade to the Guanyin Lotus Cannon.

His five fingers slowly clenched together.

Boom—!!!

The Shen Xiao Lei pill, compressed a hundredfold, exploded with a mighty blast!

The entire Ink City's Capital of the Netherworld seemed to shake violently at that moment, as if struck by the full force of a Divine Tribulation Cultivator's terrifying attack!

The ground trembled and mountains shook!

Above Ink City, dark clouds gathered, and the ink rain poured down eagerly.

And on the ground of the Capital of the Netherworld.

A huge crater with a diameter of ten zhang appeared. The explosion's range wasn't large, but its power was of an extremely high level. At the center of the explosion, space had already shattered!

This indicated that the power of the explosion had reached the level of a Divine Tribulation!

Even Li Che's eyes couldn't help but flash.

Was this the destructive power of the Shen Xiao Lei pill after a hundredfold compression?

Very powerful!

Although the range was only ten zhang...

But that was because there was only one Shen Xiao Lei pill!

With these Shen Xiao Lei pills, Li Che could continuously compress them.

Compressing one, ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand...

The yield would vary, and the explosive power would be incomparable!

If ten thousand compressed hundredfold Shen Xiao Lei pills were combined into the Guanyin Lotus Cannon.

It might truly possess nuclear-level power!

Creating a real nuclear bomb was no longer just a thought!

With such power, could the second-tier Black Bull Demon God withstand it?!

Moreover, this wasn't even the true limit of the hand-compressed Shen Xiao Lei pills.

Because a hundredfold thunder magnetic extreme compression was Li Che's limit, not the limit of thunder magnetic extreme compression...

As Li Che's spiritual power increases, it may even be possible to achieve a thousandfold or ten thousandfold thunder magnetic extreme compression in the future!

How terrifying would the explosive power be then?!

The only pity was that creating the Shen Xiao Lei pills by hand wasn't an easy task and required a significant amount of time.

Additionally, the number of thunderbolts in the Shen Xiao Lei itself was also an issue.

However, with the Yellow Eyebrow Grand Mage, who had broken through to the Divine Tribulation realm, Li Che could have him exert all his strength to activate the power of the Shen Xiao Lei, one of the Three Calamities, which would be barely enough.

Boom, boom, boom—

The Dao Guo fruits began to jump one after another.

The power of thunder magnetic extreme compression made Li Che's heart surge, and the Dao Guo fruits could actually work together, creating combinations.

For example...

The Xian Gong Dao Guo was constantly pulsating because of the production of Shen Xiao Lei pills born under the hundredfold thunder magnetic extreme compression.

The Xian Gong Gatling, Barrett, Guanyin Main Battle Tank, Guanyin Lotus Cannon, and more...

Would all undergo a comprehensive upgrade!

The Netherworld...

Was about to upgrade from muskets to cannons!

Firepower... would be enhanced once again!
