Chapter 482: Ning Que Wu Lan - Imprisoning Deities, a Grand Feast of Madness, and the Dao Fruit's Transformation in the Primordial Chaos of Heaven and Earth (Part 1)
Ink City, Capital of the Netherworld.
Li Che's mind and spirit intertwined, and slowly, countless ink mists condensed together, forming his true body.
The one who remained in the restaurant was his Painting Immortal clone.
The Netherworld Emperor Gui, sitting desolately in front of the inner city gate of Qi Tian City, looking completely burned out, was also a Painting Immortal clone. Although it was a clone, with Li Che's current Chess Saint Dao Fruit and the Painting Immortal Dao Fruit combined...
As long as the powerful cultivators from the Divine Camp within Qi Tian's inner city dared to show themselves, Li Che would immediately make them understand what it meant to have a last burst of brilliance and a true burning passion!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The raging wind howled incessantly, surging violently like the coldness emanating from the Nine Nethers of the Yellow Springs. The billowing wind carried a piercing despair that pierced the heart.
Time and space seemed to freeze and solidify within Ink City.
In Ink City, large ink-colored raindrops fell rapidly from the sky, landing on the ground and exploding into countless ink mists! A thick, bloody smell filled the entire city, and the ground was piled high with shattered flesh and broken bones, shattered armor...
These were the remains of the powerful cultivators Li Che had slaughtered during the night.
Imprisoning deities was not an easy task. In the beginning, when the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit was still weak, imprisoning a deity required touching the corpse of the target. But as the fruit matured and its rank increased, imprisoning a deity only required aiming at the corpse from a distance...
Later on, even a fragment of a shattered corpse was enough to imprison a deity.
Blood surged and blood mist filled the air...
The blood mist constantly transformed, occasionally taking the form of demonic souls or human faces, expressing various emotions like resentment, bitterness, and anger, all intertwining and flowing.
Li Che calmly scanned his surroundings, unaffected by these emotions. Anger and resentment were to be expected, as they had all died unexpectedly.
The powerful cultivators from the Wiles Pavilion's Divine Camp... truly did not regard human cultivators as people.
By sealing the gates of Qi Tian City, they intended to massacre all the cultivators within, dyeing the city red with blood to declare its ownership.
"The longer a cultivator stays in the Wiles Pavilion, the more they seem to lose their humanity. After joining the Divine Camp, they completely disregard human cultivators, looking down upon them with coldness and disdain..."
"It's as if they no longer acknowledge their own kind, believing they have transformed into divine beings. Since divine beings are emotionless, these cultivators emulate their cold and unfeeling nature."
Li Che shook his head lightly.
The more he interacted with them, the more he felt the stark contrast between the Wiles Pavilion and the human world, as if two different worlds were colliding.
The human world was clearly at a disadvantage, seemingly being eroded by mythical forces.
The thick, bloody mist swirled and surged, and Li Che indifferently surveyed the scene.
The ground was littered with shattered flesh and bones, and one could imagine that tonight would yield a bountiful harvest of imprisoned deities. As many as five Two-Disaster Venerables from the Wiles Pavilion had fallen to his hands.
Even more First-Disaster cultivators, over a dozen of them, had perished at his hands, and their remains were now in his possession.
This was indeed an unprecedented harvest!
On this night, Li Che had unleashed a killing spree, fighting with unbridled fury. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had burned out completely...
His Martial Immortal Golden Body shone brilliantly, and his battle intent was overwhelming. He fought with all his might, showcasing the full power of a Martial Immortal.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The wind blew relentlessly, stirring the blood mist that shrouded the corpses on the ground in Ink City, Capital of the Netherworld. The mist swirled and changed shapes.
Li Che closed his eyes slightly.
Boom, boom, boom—
In his chest, his heart pounded violently, like thunder rumbling and exploding. It was like a summer thunderstorm, impossible to suppress!
The next moment, Li Che opened his eyes wide, and his eyes shone with a deep, dark light, as if they had transformed into two pitch-black vortices, ready to devour everything.
Facing the ground filled with flesh and blood, including Two-Disaster and Three-Disaster Venerables, as well as First-Disaster cultivators, Li Che treated them all the same.
Boom—
Li Che's body suddenly grew taller and more robust. Golden qi and blood, like a thick mist, burst out from his 36,000 pores, enveloping his perfect flesh like golden dragon snakes! His aura was overwhelming, like a god or a demon!
Between heaven and earth, a low hum reverberated, as if echoing from the netherworld. The entire Ink City seemed to freeze!
"Souls..."
"Return!"
Imprisoning deities... returning to their places!
A deep voice, like that of a supreme being from the netherworld, opened its eyes to control the cycle of reincarnation. Rings of light burst forth from the depths of his eyes, as if slicing through the firmament with a sharp blade!
Clatter, clatter—
As soon as the words were spoken, the sound of icy chains reverberated, one after another, stretching across the heavens and earth, as if tearing and shattering space itself.
Above the pile of blood and flesh in Ink City, Capital of the Netherworld, a deep pit suddenly formed, like a vast and profound black hole. The black hole roared, churning endlessly, vast and boundless, as if connecting to another world of silence and cold.
Clatter, clatter—
Chains emerged from the black hole, dancing wildly in the heavens and earth, binding countless hazy figures.
Thick black gas poured out from the shattered void, gradually outlining one figure after another.
Boom, boom, boom—
The void seemed to collapse, and an incredibly powerful will seemed to emanate from the black mist, as if transmitted from the other side of the netherworld, sending chills throughout the body.
Vaguely, Li Che seemed to see a city gate illuminated by a blood-red glow! An enormous city gate, vast and boundless, stood in the netherworld, with cold winds howling, carrying the breath of time, slamming into the city walls, leaving mottled marks, and raising clouds of blood-red dust, like a dreamlike illusion.
Black chains hung from the city walls like curtains, and amidst the clattering sound, countless tiny figures climbed up the chains, smaller than ants, making their way up to the city walls.
Boom—
The vision shattered, and Li Che's eyes opened and closed. The dark and heavy aura gradually dissipated, and his eyes regained their fiery golden light.
One by one, the imprisoned deities appeared, slowly taking on their true forms.
Thick and powerful auras raged and intertwined within Ink City, Capital of the Netherworld. Terrifying winds swirled and surged, and various energies, including divine essence, blood qi, and demonic energy, constantly churned.
Li Che stood motionless, his ink-black robe billowing in the wind.
Gazing at the ancient and profound Netherworld Blood-Red City Gate that had vanished, he couldn't help but ponder the cycle of reincarnation and the Netherworld in this world.
Could there be reincarnation within the Netherworld?
However, Li Che didn't dwell on these thoughts for long. As he snapped back to reality, his gaze swept across the numerous Bind Deities before him.
Nowadays, he had acquired more and more Bind Deities, and they were growing increasingly powerful. This was normal; as his strength increased, the opponents he encountered became more formidable. The Bind Deities he obtained after killing these powerful beings naturally became stronger as well.
Like tonight, in the outer city of Qitian, he unleashed a massacre, thoroughly eliminating the powerful beings from various Divine Sects.
Now, these dead beings had all transformed into his Bind Deities.
However, Li Che also understood that having too many Bind Deities was meaningless. Facing the three Supreme Beings occupying the inner city of Qitian, numbers were merely a joke.
Therefore, for this massive harvest of Bind Deities...
Li Che had made his decision early on.
Quantity leads to quality; he needed to cultivate Bind Deities with powerful individual strength rather than focusing on quantity.
With a snap of his fingers, one by one, the Bind Deity chess pieces shot out and then expanded and distorted.
Fang Hanshu, Gu Changqing, Gu Yinxuan, Xie Yunshen, and other Bind Deities' figures appeared one after another, standing respectfully in the Capital of the Netherworld within Ink City.
Many Bind Deities had also transformed into residents of the Capital of the Netherworld, emerging from the rebuilt houses of Ink City, gazing at Li Che with fervent worship.
"Lord!"
The voices rumbled like thunder, shattering the pouring rain above Ink City.
These Bind Deities seemed to understand something, their hearts filled with eagerness. They looked around at the newly bound deities behind Li Che, fresh and seemingly exuding heat...
Their mouths watered.
Li Che's gaze fell upon Fang Hanshu, and after some thought, he handed over the Bind Deities of the two Two Calamities and Three Tribulations Venerables to Fang Hanshu, allowing him to devour and transform them, accelerating his path to becoming a Supreme Being.
After all, Fang Hanshu had received the direct inheritance from the founding ancestor of the Heaven-Striking Temple, and with the addition of the Bind Deities of the two Two Calamities and Three Tribulations Venerables, his progress would significantly increase.
If the Netherworld gained another Supreme Being, their actions would truly be stable.
With a Supreme Being in the Netherworld, they would be invincible in the mortal realm.
After all, Fang Hanshu was a Bind Deity, unafraid of death. If he gave his all in the mortal realm and was struck by lightning, it wouldn't be a big deal. He could resurrect and be a hero once more.
"Thank you, Lord."
Fang Hanshu's eyes gleamed with excitement. Indeed, after becoming a Bind Deity, his restraints were greatly reduced, and his cultivation breakthroughs became more savage and direct, just as simple and straightforward as that.
Li Che then arranged the remaining Bind Deities, assigning the other Two Calamities Venerables to Gu Changqing and Gu Yinxuan. One was a Poison Saint, and the other was a Pill Saint, both of whom were Li Che's trusted aides and sources of resources for his future martial arts cultivation. Therefore, he needed to cultivate them well.
Gu Yinxuan took away a Two Calamities and One Tribulation Venerable, and Gu Changqing had the same intention.
Li Che waved his hand, bestowing the remaining Bind Deities upon his other Bind Deities.
Roars, howls, and struggles...
The newly revived Bind Deities, being no weaklings, had clear wills. They even went crazy upon sensing their fate after being reborn, and they began to struggle and resist.
Li Che loved their struggles and resistance, as it allowed him to act without any guilt.
When Bind Deities devoured other Bind Deities, they would grow and strengthen simultaneously, but the refinement process required time.
However, there was no doubt that this was a feast of celebration, and the loyal Bind Deities would undoubtedly experience a significant boost!
Li Che felt relieved. The pressure from the Divine Sects had been immense, and he needed his Bind Deities to grow stronger to enhance his own power. In the future, the Netherworld would have the opportunity to confront the Divine Sects head-on.
Nevertheless, the power of the Divine Sects was undeniable.
The cultivators nurtured over long years in the mortal realm entered the Wiles Pavilion and obtained Divine Will resources, rapidly enhancing their cultivation. They all joined the three major Divine Sects.
The Divine Sects were even more formidable than Li Che had imagined.
For the Netherworld to catch up with the Divine Sects, they still had a long way to go.
Not to mention the top-tier Divine Beings within the Divine Sects, even the Three Calamities Supreme Beings who had reached the pinnacle of their cultivation were enough for the Netherworld to strive for.
Rumble—
As the Bind Deities began to enjoy the feast, Li Che didn't stop his summary.
His heart moved slightly, and behind him, the Ink Ten Evils painting suddenly began to unfold.
Instantly, among the Bind Deities, two demonic souls soared into the sky, roaring and struggling...
One was a Two Calamities and One Tribulation Demon God Venerable, and the other was the Two Calamities and Three Tribulations Demon God Venerable of the Black Eagle! Li Che threw the Two Calamities and One Tribulation Demon God Venerable to the Sea-Flipping Nine Heads.
The Sea-Flipping Nine Heads roared, wildly shaking its six heads and opening its huge mouth to completely devour the soul of the Two Calamities and One Tribulation Demon God Venerable.
Originally, Li Che wanted to use the soul of the Black Eagle Demon God Venerable to unlock the third evil of the Ink Ten Evils painting. However...
The unlocking of the third evil now had more options.
The Dao Induction trembled slightly, as if reminding him.
Since the second evil, Mighty Zhu Huai, was opened at the Two Calamities Demon God Venerable realm, the third evil could choose a more powerful Three Calamities-level Demon God Supreme! Li Che's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
His heart stirred slightly, and although the Dao Induction suggested that he could directly unlock the third evil with a Two Calamities Demon God Venerable...
His heart couldn't help but feel eager.
If the Ink Ten Evils were fully unlocked, the power of the Ten Evils Killing Formation they formed might exceed imagination!
"Better to have quality than quantity..."
Li Che chose quality over quantity.
So, he fed the Two Calamities and Three Tribulations Demon God Venerable to Mighty Zhu Huai, who had transformed into the Black Ox Demon God Venerable.
The Sea-Flipping Nine Heads had just devoured a Demon God Venerable and was in the process of refinement, unable to continue devouring.
[Ink Ten Evils: Sea-Flipping Nine Heads (70%), Mighty Zhu Huai (60%)]
After devouring a Two Calamities and Three Tribulations Demon God Venerable, Mighty Zhu Huai's progress directly increased to 60%.
