Chapter 481: The Netherworld Emperor's Fall, Burning to Ashes (Part 2)
Chapter 481: The Netherworld Emperor's Fall, Burning to Ashes (Part 2)
Three figures appeared, bringing with them an overwhelming pressure like the sea, casting cold and sharp gazes.
They were the three supreme cultivators from the Divine Boundary: the Kalou Supreme from the Black-Bearded Buddha, the Xuanzhen Supreme from the Dark Heaven Court, and the Tianlang Supreme from the Demon Cave!
Just the release of their auras was enough to make it feel like the sky was falling, as if they were going to crush and annihilate everything.
Fang Hanshu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
Although he had borrowed the near-perfect inheritance from his ancestor, raising his cultivation to the Second Divine Tribulation stage, he was still a step away from the Supreme level.
Could he, in a year...in one year's time, perfectly refine the inheritance and reach the Supreme level?
Fang Hanshu's eyes shone with determination. The Heaven-Striking Temple's ancestor, Fang Xinyuan, had been at his peak as a Third Divine Tribulation Supreme. Later, he fought against the Hell Lotus and Heaven City, suffered severe injuries, and his cultivation declined. After sitting in meditation in Heaven City for thousands of years, his cultivation almost dropped to the Supreme level, and in the end, he couldn't hold on any longer, sacrificing himself to become the Temple Guardian Corpse King.
Even if Fang Hanshu completely refined the inheritance, he might not be able to restore the ancestor's peak fighting power...
However...
Fang Hanshu wasn't concerned because he knew he still had hope.
As a Deity Binder, he could devour the power of other Deity Binders and quickly break through.
With normal cultivation, he might not have been able to reach the ancestor's level, but now, it was no longer certain.
Fang Hanshu's heart was filled with emotion, and his gaze fell on the Netherworld Emperor Gui, also known as Lord Li Che.
Not a single mistake was made in this chapter!
He slowly clenched his fist.
At this moment, Li Che naturally sensed Fang Hanshu's emotions, but he didn't pay attention to them.
The outer city of Heaven City had been mostly pacified, and the strong cultivators from the Divine Boundary had no choice but to retreat to the inner city. Otherwise, they would meet the same fate as the four fallen Second Divine Tribulation Grandmasters, being blasted to pieces, with their flesh and souls devoured by the Capital of the Netherworld.
Amidst the scorching aura, the Netherworld Emperor Gui, seated in front of the inner city of Heaven City, seemed to be losing control as his aura began to wane.
"He's burning out!"
Inside the inner city of Heaven City.
The Supreme Lord of Sirius slowly opened his vertical pupils, and with a terrifying gaze, he tore through the mist of Wiles Pavilion, like a sharp blade, as if slashing at Li Che.
Li Che sat cross-legged, his golden skull with two pupils, and golden flames burning.
"Yes... I'm almost burned out."
"Dare you come out and fight!"
Li Che spoke.
His voice carried a hint of desolation and sorrow.
The Supreme Lord of Sirius had a massive wolf head, as large as a mountain, emerging from the mist of the inner city, with the mist flowing down, gradually outlining the shape of a wolf's head.
The vertical pupils of the Supreme Lord of Sirius fixed on the Emperor.
After a long while, four golden vortices, once as brilliant as the sun, slowly dimmed, becoming like a dying flame.
The Supreme Lord of Sirius narrowed his eyes, and with a five-fingered grasp, the next moment, the Divine Hawk Demon God, who had previously escaped into the inner city, was sent out.
"Kill!"
"Slay the human martial immortal, and you shall be rewarded with merit! In the future, when Wiles Pavilion devours the mortal world, you will receive the blessings of the divine!"
The voice of the Supreme Lord of Sirius thundered, like the waves of divine sound.
The Divine Hawk Demon God stepped out of the inner city, staring at the Netherworld Emperor Gui sitting on the city wall a hundred zhang away, looking withered.
Feeling the other party's aura, which seemed to be truly exhausted, the Divine Hawk Demon God's mouth curled up, forming a twisted arc!
"With your energy burned out, do you still dare to fight to the death? Do you even have the qualifications?"
The Divine Hawk Demon God roared, his wings spread, revealing a golden feather, and his divine aura unsealed and revived, his body instantly transforming into a terrifying sky-spanning eagle!
Like a heavenly slash of light, he sped towards the Netherworld Emperor Gui!
Even facing a martial immortal on the brink of extinction, the Divine Hawk Demon God dared not underestimate him!
With all his strength, he attacked!
As the Divine Hawk Demon God reached the side of the Netherworld Emperor Gui.
The four golden vortices, which had already dimmed, suddenly rekindled, like a last glimmer of light, bursting with dazzling brilliance!
The three-tipped, double-edged saber hummed and vibrated, emerging from the void!
Li Che's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his Eight-Hundred-Foot Victory Over Heaven Half-Step Domain expanded!
The Divine Hawk Demon God suddenly sensed something amiss, and the terrifying crisis that loomed over him made his body's eagle feathers stand on end!
The next moment, he felt his aura rapidly sliding!
As if pulled by a terrifying force, in just one breath, he fell to the Second Calamity and First Tribulation, and was still slowly descending, about to fall to the First Calamity and Tribulation Realm!
This...
But he couldn't afford to care, as the golden feathers trembled, suppressed by the revived aura of the three-tipped, double-edged saber!
Boom!
The Netherworld Emperor Gui stood up, burning once more, his body towering like a thousand zhang, with golden energy bursting forth, his five fingers clenched, and the Myriad Dragon Elephant!
The Divine Hawk Demon God roared, his eagle cry shaking the nine heavens, and cracks appeared on the Calamity Wheel, his aura rising as he struggled to break free from the pull of the Victory Over Heaven Half-Step Domain!
However, the terrifying punch of the invincible martial immortal had already landed on his body.
The unstoppable force, like a mountain collapsing, with energy like waves and tides, erupted with annihilating power, slamming into the body of the Divine Hawk Demon God.
The power of the demon body, in front of Li Che, who had detonated four divine gates, was still somewhat inadequate!
Inch by inch, it shattered, and finally exploded into a cloud of blood mist!
Countless black eagle feathers flew up, burned by golden flames, igniting a golden flame.
The golden feathers trembled, clanging incessantly, trying to break free from the suppression of the three-tipped, double-edged saber, and rushing towards the inner city.
But Li Che was quick, and his skill in corpse manipulation hadn't faded, instantly grabbing the golden feather and storing it in the Heavenly Chessboard, suppressing it with the Seven Aperture Crystal Mind!
The Divine Hawk Demon God howled miserably, his demon soul struggling and raging like a tidal wave!
However, Li Che's martial immortal will slashed like a knife, as if a guillotine cutting through the void, bloodily severing the demon soul of the Divine Hawk Demon God!
Then, the shattered flesh and severed demon soul were collected and stored in the Ink City Capital of the Netherworld.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
After doing all this, the four divine gates behind Li Che, which had exploded, once again quieted down, falling from the brilliance of the sun to a dying flame.
From the shattered space, like a shattered mirror, he fell, sitting on the ground.
Facing the outer city of Heaven City, many martial artists and cultivators, facing the Supreme Gods of Wiles Pavilion inside the inner city.
They sighed.
"Burned out... This time, I'm truly burned out..."
Silence.
The raging wind and waves, the shattered space, clanged.
Inside Heaven City, the mist of Wiles Pavilion hung like a curtain, intertwining endlessly, and the wolf head of the Supreme Lord of Sirius emerged from the curtain, his vertical pupils staring at the withered Netherworld Emperor Gui sitting on the ground.
The many gods and cultivators who had taken refuge in the inner city into the background.
Especially the god general of the Dark Heaven Court, who had previously fought Fang Hanshu and blocked him, clutched his spear, its tip trembling.
Burned out?
The Netherworld Emperor Gui's ghostly figure flickered, and he looked towards the Supreme God of the Dark Heaven Court.
For a moment, both inside and outside the city fell into silence.
Outside the city, many bold martial artists had not yet left, still gazing at this battle, shocked by the Netherworld Emperor Gui's final burst of power, killing a Three Tribulation Supreme God.
"Burned out... Truly burned out?"
Many martial artists were astonished.
For a moment, they couldn't be sure if the Netherworld Emperor Gui had truly burned out everything, reaching the end of his life, and becoming a fleeting martial immortal.
"However, it will eventually burn out, won't it...?"
Some warriors were excited for a moment, but soon, sighs filled the air.
Because it was a fact that the Martial Immortal Netherworld Emperor Gui had burned out his vital energy and blood, and the power to fight beyond his limits came at a cost...
No one knew how long Emperor Gui could hold on.
But at the very least, Emperor Gui, seated at the gate of the inner city of Heaven-Striking Temple, single-handedly blocked and intimidated the forces of the Wiles Pavilion's divine camp.
The slaughter and carnage that was supposed to erupt within Heaven City today was averted solely because of the presence of the Netherworld Emperor Gui.
Whoosh!
The clouds gathering heavy snow in the sky were torn apart by the terrifying battle in Heaven City.
Above the blood-red sky, the intertwined chains of Dao Yun writhed, as if the heavens and earth were lamenting, with blood-red snowflakes drifting down.
At the end of the horizon, a crimson sun rose slowly, like a blazing furnace.
Its brilliance illuminated the world, painting it in fiery red!
Numerous warriors who had gained new life knelt on the ground, deeply bowing towards the Netherworld Emperor Gui, who sat at the gate of the inner city of Heaven-Striking Temple, blocking the powerful cultivators of the Wiles Pavilion's divine camp. They then tore through the ground and charged forward.
Li Che sensed the situation outside the city but didn't pay much attention. Rescuing these warriors was merely an unexpected and effortless task.
His gaze lifted and fell upon the inner city of Heaven-Striking Temple.
"Are you coming?"
Li Che asked.
Within the Wiles Pavilion, the three Supreme Beings stared coldly, while the numerous Venerables had complex expressions. As for the Divine Tribulation Cultivator hiding among them, he remained silent.
"You will eventually burn out..."
"We will quietly watch you wither away before our eyes."
The Supreme Being of the Celestial Wolf spoke with a cold voice, like a divine sound echoing through the void.
Li Che's Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame burned, his black robe fluttering, and his golden skeleton shone brilliantly.
It seemed as if he had let out a soft laugh.
Then, the skull lowered its head.
"I truly have burned out..."
The four golden energy whirlpools behind him seemed to dim completely, losing their luster, leaving only the light from the rising sun shining over the outer city walls of Heaven-Striking Temple and falling upon Emperor Gui.
It was as if he had withered away on the spot.
In the sky, blood-red rain fell, blood-colored thunder rumbled, and the chains of Dao Yun writhed like a coiling dragon. It was as if a crimson phoenix emerged from the clouds, wailing and crying, an extraordinary phenomenon!
"Go! See if the Netherworld Emperor Gui has fallen!"
"He might have truly burned out!"
The Supreme Being of the Celestial Wolf gritted his teeth but didn't send the Second Calamity Venerable; instead, he threw out a cultivator facing the First Calamity and Third Tribulation Divine Tribulation.
Boom!!!
The four golden lights instantly burned, and the sun hung high in the sky.
The Netherworld Emperor Gui, who had seemed to wither, once again shone with a final burst of radiance!
He killed the cultivator who had dared to leave the city, and with a punch, his golden fist weaved a dragon elephant shadow, shattering the cultivator.
"Damn!"
"Despicable! The human race is cunning and despicable!"
The Supreme Being of the Celestial Wolf cursed.
He wanted to rush out of the inner city and turn this dying human into mincemeat, but in the end, he still feared the killing intent of the heavenly will.
No, he had to wait for the Supreme Being of the Dark Celestial Court to bring the Gathering Immortals Flag. Only by unfurling the flag could they block the heavenly will and break out of the Wiles Pavilion...
At that time, he would personally twist off the skull of Emperor Gui.
The Supreme Being of the Celestial Wolf glared at the Netherworld Emperor Gui.
Indeed, that was forcing...
The four golden energy wheels dimmed again, appearing lifeless, and although it was a skull, its eyes revealed a chilling gaze.
"I... truly have burned out..."
Damn!
Emperor Gui's words were a lie!
The powerful cultivators in the Wiles Pavilion's divine camp within the inner city of Heaven-Striking Temple all cursed in anger!
No one dared to leave the city, and the inner and outer cities seemed completely divided.
The Netherworld Emperor Gui sat there at the gate, his skull-like eyes glowing faintly, with golden flames dancing within.
This was the manifestation of his final glimmer of life.
The people within the inner city of Heaven-Striking Temple all stared at the ghostly flames in Emperor Gui's eye sockets, waiting for them to extinguish.
Fang Hanshu's scholar robe fluttered in the wind, and his magnificent beard was illuminated by the rising sun, turning it fiery red.
He stood a few hundred meters away from Emperor Gui, his mouth twitching with suppressed anger.
However, his professional demeanor as a scholar made it difficult to hide the deep sorrow on his face.
He turned around and began to ascend step by step, spreading his arms wide, and a majestic river of light flowed downward.
"Today, I, Fang Hanshu, uphold the will of our ancestor and rebuild the Heaven-Striking Temple!"
...
...
Outside Heaven-Striking Temple.
On the rooftop of a restaurant.
The dim orange light illuminated even the shadows of those sitting on the rooftop, stretching them out.
"Father, has Master Emperor Gui truly burned out?"
Xi Xi held Li Che's hand, her face filled with sadness.
Li Che gently squeezed Xi Xi's hand, "Perhaps he has burned out, but as long as the flames in Emperor Gui's eyes don't extinguish, his Martial Immortal will remains unyielding..."
Determination flashed in Xi Xi's eyes, "Xi Xi will work hard to become stronger, and in the future, I'll kill all those bad guys in the inner city who forced Master Emperor Gui to his death!"
"Father, Xi Xi wants to retrieve the Profound Thunder Vajra Heaven Wheel! It's the last piece of the set, and the will of the Spear Spear tells Xi Xi that if we gather the last piece of the divine weapon, the Third Prince might be resurrected!"
"The Spear Spear's will says that if the Third Prince is resurrected, he will surely kill them all!"
Xi Xi's young face showed an unprecedented seriousness.
Hearing this, Li Che smiled, the Profound Thunder Vajra Heaven Wheel?
It was time to gather the set...
But before that, Li Che's heart stirred, and his true body entered the Ink City of the Capital of the Netherworld.
He needed to take stock of the situation after tonight's slaughter...
A surge of divine capture!
