Chapter 474: Embracing Five Thousand Years of Martial Fortune, Human Power Surpasses Heaven, Witness
Chapter 474: Embracing Five Thousand Years of Martial Fortune, Human Power Surpasses Heaven, Witnessing the Flourishing and Withering of Life and Death in the Martial Path (Part 1)
The moonlight hung high in the sky, bathing the world in its silvery glow. But gradually, the moonlight seemed to turn crimson, as if tainted by the endless surge of blood energy.
However, the crimson hue slowly transformed into a dazzling golden color, and the golden radiance spread, enveloping the entire world in its brilliance.
Within and outside Qitian City...
A vast gathering of countless figures, mostly martial artists from all over the world, converged. Their blood energy surged, fists clenched, and they gazed eagerly into the distance.
Their eyes shone with anticipation and determination, eager to witness this martial breakthrough.
For many martial artists, the pure martial path was a legend, but it was also the ultimate aspiration in their hearts.
To surpass heaven with human power! What a glorious and magnificent feat, stirring the hearts of all who heard of it.
From the gates of Qitian City, a torrent of people surged forth.
Lu Taibai, Lu Qiankun, Fang Hanshu, and others joined the crowd, gazing into the distance.
No one knew what challenges and trials awaited a pure martial artist attempting to reach the realm of martial immortality. What kind of terrifying tribulation would the heavens bestow upon them?
The Netherworld Emperor Gui, the only martial artist in five thousand years, both past and future, who had reached the pinnacle of martial immortality, was about to undergo a transformation. Would he break free like a butterfly from a cocoon, or would he fall like a shooting star?
Everyone was eager to find out.
At this moment, martial artists from all directions held their breath, their eyes fixed with intense anticipation.
Terrifying blood energy surged towards the sky, as if a seal had been lifted.
As they looked on, they couldn't help but recoil, for the boiling blood essence was scorching hot, like a hundred thousand volcanoes erupting simultaneously. The blood energy rose like battle smoke, piercing through the clouds and tearing through the sky!
The Netherworld Emperor Gui's head was enveloped in a mysterious purple flame, and his golden skull emitted an intense glow. His body was crystal clear, with golden divine patterns flowing across it, and beneath his skin, golden blood could be seen coursing and roaring.
He raised his head high, gazing directly at the vast sky.
Everyone watched as the Emperor took a step, and the ground shook as if it were about to collapse.
His blood energy surged, and he seemed to transform into a mighty dragon, spanning the earth and reaching the outskirts of Qitian City, eight hundred li away, where the turbulent waters of the Grand Canal rippled.
The powerful martial artists within and outside Qitian City could no longer sit still. They followed from a distance, gazing in awe, as if witnessing the dance of a divine being.
...
...
A thunderous roar echoed.
Li Che walked with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering in the wind. He raised his head, gazing into the vast sky.
As he stepped out of Qitian City, the bewitching mist dissipated, and with his unrestrained release of blood energy, he summoned the will of the martial path. His aura seemed to pierce through heaven and earth, stirring the will of the heavens and earth, causing a tumultuous upheaval!
The wind howled, blowing across the land, stirring up the sand and gravel, as if carving deep furrows into the ground.
Contrary to expectations, the sky did not darken with black clouds, brewing a terrifying thunder tribulation. Instead, it was clear for miles, with only the golden moon hanging high, radiating its utmost brilliance!
A thunderous rumble shook the heavens, and a bolt of lightning flashed, appearing strangely like a geomagnetic light, colorful and vibrant, resembling the aurora borealis, twisting and contorting in the sky, shining alongside the golden moon, tilting, bursting, and dazzling!
However, the more beautiful something appeared, the more ominous it seemed.
Like this moment's tribulation lightning, its rainbow hues surged like heavenly auspicious clouds, yet it was fraught with danger.
Even Li Che, in his current state, felt a chilling sensation throughout his body. As his 36,000 pores exuded blood energy, they tightened in response to the stimulation.
It was as if a thunderbolt could strike his body, leaving a gaping hole.
It seemed to be capable of extinguishing his vitality!
Not only Li Che but everyone present felt this overwhelming terror. It was the manifestation of heavenly might, far more dreadful than the tribulations faced by ordinary cultivators.
It even reached the level of a Two Disasters Tribulation Master!
A deafening explosion followed, like the detonation of a nuclear bomb, echoing through the boundless sky.
The martial artists were stunned into silence, trembling with fear.
Their blood seemed to freeze, and they couldn't even muster the strength to resist. It was as if the will of heaven and earth had transformed into a guillotine, hanging over the necks of every martial artist, ready to sever their heads and let their blood flow.
This was a tribulation specifically targeting martial artists!
It seemed to offer no hope to those who sought to break free from their shackles and challenge the heavens with their human power. A terrifying tribulation descended, aiming to annihilate them without mercy!
A deafening boom!
Li Che felt the oppressive force, different from the pressure of a Dao Tribulation. It was a tribulation born from the very essence of heaven and earth, intent on extinguishing his flesh and blood and shattering his martial will.
It was as if the barriers of heaven and earth had suddenly descended upon him.
This was a tribulation brought about by defiance, aiming to eradicate all sources of unrest, whether in the present, past, or future. Any variable that could disrupt the balance of the will of heaven and earth must be eliminated, struck down by the tribulation lightning!
Even the mere leakage of this overwhelming pressure was terrifying, leaving only darkness in their eyes.
In this era of surging divine essence, the pure martial path to martial immortality is truly an act of defiance against the heavens...”
“The more defiant it is, the more it will be forbidden. The Netherworld Emperor Gui... might truly be killed by the heavenly tribulation!”
Yet, this terrifying pressure was still not the limit of the punishment inflicted by the will of heaven and earth.
It was like compressed rage, reaching a threshold, and then it would burst forth, smashing and destroying everything in its path!
Li Che released his vital energy, standing on the surface of the Grand Canal, eight hundred li outside the Heaven City. The river water, for once, became unusually calm, without a ripple or a wave.
He raised his head, his vital energy resembling mighty dragons dancing and soaring into the sky.
Boom—
Li Che's gaze was clear.
His martial will continued to rise.
The next moment, a golden heavenly gate was drawn out!
The moment the enormous golden gate appeared, it completely captured everyone's attention.
The martial artists who had come from various places felt their blood surging like tides, uncontrollably excited, expectant, and reverent.
Many of the powerful cultivators who had reached the Martial Deity realm were also filled with awe and astonishment.
The sect master of the True Martial Deity Sect, Shi Jian, had a complex expression on his face, filled with emotion, awe, and reverence, all intertwining without end, unable to be suppressed.
"Amazing, truly amazing... to actually use the pure martial path to challenge martial immortality. What a formidable Netherworld, what a formidable Netherworld!"
Shi Jian couldn't help but exclaim.
At the same time.
Inside the Heaven City.
On the city tower.
The old monkey held the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff, his golden eyes narrowing slightly, looking at the enormous golden gate that had appeared eight hundred li away, and couldn't help but let out a slight sigh.
The boss, dressed in white, held Xi Xi's hand, while Da Hei Gou followed by their side, standing on the city tower as well, but at the edge of the wall.
Xi Xi blinked her big eyes, filled with delight, as she naturally felt happy for the Netherworld heroes because they were all her family.
Since Daddy was from the Netherworld, Niu Niu Shifu was also from the Netherworld, then Xi Xi was also from the Netherworld.
The Netherworld heroes were all Xi Xi's elders.
Xi Xi would also worry about them.
The old monkey slowly lifted the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff, narrowing his eyes, and the next moment, he threw the staff into the sky...
With a whistle, the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff seemed to transform into a beam of golden light, spinning and charging into the cloud layer, as if shattering the cloud currents!
The treasure staff seemed to turn into a golden dragon, emitting a thunderous roar that shook the earth.
Spanning eight hundred li, it appeared above the Netherworld Emperor Gui's head.
The next moment, within the staff, a divine aura seemed to burst forth, and then, in everyone's astonished gaze, the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to wrinkle, drawn and rolled by an invisible force.
"The Qitian Temple God has made a move!"
"He said he would protect the Netherworld Emperor Gui and assist him in breaking through the martial immortal realm, and it turns out it was true!"
"This is no easy task. Breaking through the martial immortal realm requires an extremely pure and powerful concentration of heaven and earth's essence. In today's world, the essence of heaven and earth has already been mixed with divine essence, and it's extremely troublesome to suppress the divine essence within the essence of heaven and earth to obtain pure essence. It's a task that consumes a lot of mental effort!"
The powerful cultivators' eyes shone with admiration, feeling envious.
It was rare for a divine being to do such a thing.
However, they could only feel envious, because the revival of the Qitian Temple God was likely inseparable from the Netherworld Emperor Gui, and helping a temple god revive early was something they couldn't possibly do.
Inside the Heaven City, the originally stooped old monkey slowly straightened his back.
His golden eyes shone with brilliance, and with a light tap of his foot, he flipped through the air, his body seeming to shatter space and enter the boundless void.
Boom—
However, it was only a matter of a few breaths.
Everyone felt the entire heaven and earth tremble slightly, and then, between heaven and earth, the surging essence of heaven and earth seemed to surge like a tide.
A hundred li, a thousand li, two thousand li, three thousand li!
The essence of heaven and earth within a three-thousand-li radius of the Heaven City was all drawn by a powerful force, rapidly converging towards this place, with a loud rumbling sound!
Li Che naturally felt this, as it was the promise made by the Qitian Temple God to help him challenge the martial immortal realm in this era.
When Li Che faced the Black Ox Demon God in the inner city of Heaven City, he forcefully entered the heavenly gate, gaining the martial immortal path essence. However, at that time, he was not a true martial immortal, unable to completely integrate the martial immortal path essence into his body, and he also lacked heavenly recognition.
But most importantly.
If Li Che wanted to fully integrate the martial immortal path essence with his physical body, he needed... an immense amount of the essence of heaven and earth!
Li Che's progress in the pure martial path cultivation was actually quite significant, mostly due to the unparalleled horizontal refinement brought about by the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, and secondly, the enhancements gained through consuming martial pills.
Consuming martial pills was essentially the process of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.
In this era, with the surging divine essence, the essence of heaven and earth was mixed with a vast divine essence, making it extremely difficult to separate the divine essence and absorb only the essence. Martial pills, on the other hand, were the process of separating the divine essence and extracting the essence of heaven and earth.
However, the amount of essence of heaven and earth required to break through the martial immortal realm was truly immense.
One Four Guardians martial pill was not enough; perhaps only the essence of heaven and earth contained in hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand martial pills could barely be enough.
In the midst of this grand opportunity, the Netherworld Emperor Gui personally takes action, gathering the essence of heaven and earth within a three-thousand-li radius to aid Li Che's advancement to Wu Xian, merging his physical body with the Wu Xian Dao Yun.
Boom!
The Long Xiang Jin Gang Dao Guo in Li Che's chest cavity wildly pulsates, as if a heavenly deity is beating a war drum in the sky, each beat resounding like thunder.
The Dao Guo also undergoes the baptism of tribulation lightning.
Just like Li Che, it is undergoing a transformative trial.
Buzz!
Li Che's clothes instantly explode, and his surging blood ripples outward in a circular pattern.
Purple flames surge, and the golden skull's head radiates brilliance.
His body continuously grows taller and more robust, reaching nearly three meters in height, covered in block-like muscles, resembling a divine being.
His spine trembles, and a massive furnace appears, woven purely from blood and energy, with the Long Xiang roaring as if about to soar into the sky.
In the sky, a hazy essence of heaven and earth forms a mist.
Intertwined seven-colored lightning bolts burst forth.
On the powerful mountain peak, a fierce and terrifying thunderbolt descends, blindingly bright like seven suns of different colors exploding.
Everyone's breath stops.
Under the watchful eyes, the thunderbolt ruthlessly strikes the towering figure standing on the eight-hundred-li Grand Canal.
Bang!
A huge wave erupts, instantly creating a massive rolling motion as if the entire Grand Canal has been smashed to pieces.
The water surges a thousand feet high!
The Netherworld Emperor Gui's formidable body trembles, and even his powerful flesh seems to be pierced by the terrifying thunderbolt, leaving a trail of blood and mist.
However, everyone also witnesses the terrifying and robust physique of the Netherworld Emperor Gui.
A drop of golden blood falls, evaporating a large amount of river water, and white mist swirls.
Beneath the shattered flesh, golden bones and golden meridians are exposed, a perfect masterpiece of heaven and earth, filled with a terrifying force.
Yet...
Can even such a powerful body withstand this tribulation?
The Stone Firm, the True Martial God Sect's leader, sighs lightly.
"This is the Pure Martial Tribulation. Heaven's will does not permit humans to surpass the heavens. Wu Xian is the path of transcending the mundane and challenging the heavens with one's own strength. How can heaven allow it?"
"This is more terrifying than any tribulation faced by a Divine Tribulation Cultivator."
The founder of the True Martial God Sect speaks, an unparalleled Martial Deity.
Li Che stands on the river, his blood splattering, enduring unbearable pain that almost makes him faint.
However, the shattered flesh quickly heals, tempering his body.
The essence of heaven and earth surges wildly, pouring into his body from a three-thousand-li radius. Li Che doesn't hold back.
He knows that increasing his strength is crucial, and there's no need for politeness.
Purple flames swirl, and the Long Xiang roars, seemingly dissatisfied with the pressure of heaven's will.
Li Che endures the agony, enduring the strikes of tribulation lightning. Every inch of his skin seems to burst open, and golden blood splatters, with some areas torn open by the lightning, as if he's being forcibly executed.
How terrifying!
This tribulation is like a nightmare, making one dare not face it.
