Chapter 482: No Mediocrity, Banquet of Summoned Spirits, Fruit of Dao Transcends, Primordial Nine Trial of the Azure Chaos (Part 1)
Mo City, Fengdu.
Li Che's mind was a maelstrom of thoughts, and gradually, countless ink mists converged, transforming into his true self.
Meanwhile, at the restaurant, his Painting Immortal clone remained.
The withered figure sitting before the inner city gates of Qitian, appearing completely burnt out, was also a Painting Immortal clone. Despite being a clone, with Li Che's current Chess Sage Dao Fruit and the Painting Immortal Dao Fruit, he was no ordinary being.
Should any powerful beings from the divine camp within Qitian dare to show themselves, Li Che would immediately make them understand the true meaning of a last burst of strength and true burning passion!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The raging wind howled incessantly, stirring up a chilling breeze from the Nine Nethers of the Yellow Springs. The violent wind and waves seemed to pierce through one's heart with despair.
Time and space seemed to freeze within Mo City.
In Mo City, large ink-colored raindrops fell from the sky, crashing to the ground and shattering into countless ink mists! A thick, bloody scent permeated the entire city, and the ground was littered with broken flesh, shattered bones, and fractured armor...
These were the remains of the powerful beings Li Che had slaughtered during the night.
Summoning spirits was not an easy task. In the beginning, when the Purified Heart Dao Fruit was still weak, summoning spirits required physical contact with the corpse. But as the fruit matured and its rank increased, summoning spirits only required aiming at the corpse from a distance...
Later on, even a fragment of a shattered corpse was enough to summon a spirit.
Blood surged and misted, transforming into various forms.
The blood mist constantly shifted, occasionally taking the shape of demon souls or human faces, expressing various emotions—resentment, venom, and anger.
Li Che calmly surveyed the scene, unaffected by these emotions. Anger and resentment were to be expected, especially from those who had met an untimely end.
The powerful beings from the Gu Que divine camp truly treated human cultivators with disdain.
By sealing the gates of Qitian City, they intended to massacre all the cultivators within, staining the city red with blood to proclaim their ownership.
"After staying in Gu Que for so long, it seems like they've lost their humanity. Once they join the divine camp, they completely disregard human cultivators, looking down upon them with cold indifference."
"It's as if they don't acknowledge their own kind, believing they've become divine beings. Since divine beings are emotionless, they emulate this coldness."
Li Che shook his head lightly.
The more he interacted with them, the more he felt the stark contrast between the world behind the eerie mist and the human realm, as if two different worlds were colliding.
The human realm, clearly the weaker of the two, seemed to be eroding under the influence of this mythical invasion.
Thick, bloody mist swirled, and Li Che indifferently surveyed the scene.
The ground was littered with shattered flesh and bones, and one could imagine the abundance of spirits he had summoned this night. As many as five Two Calamity Sages had fallen to him.
Even more had perished in the One Disaster Trial, with over a dozen dying at his hands. He had collected all their remains.
This was truly an unprecedented harvest!
This night, he had unleashed his full power, fighting with unbridled fury. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had burned out.
His Wu Immortal Golden Body shone brilliantly, exuding an overwhelming battle intent. He fought with all his might, showcasing the full potential of a martial immortal.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The howling wind relentlessly swept across the ground of Mo City, Fengdu, stirring up the blood mist that had enveloped the corpses, causing it to swirl and change shape.
Li Che closed his eyes slightly.
Boom, boom, boom—
His heart pounded furiously in his chest, like thunderous explosions. It was like a summer thunderstorm, impossible to suppress!
The next moment, Li Che's eyes snapped open, and his gaze turned deep and mysterious, as if two pitch-black whirlpools were about to devour everything.
Facing the ground littered with flesh and blood, including Two Disasters, Three Ordeals Sages and One Disaster Trial beings, 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 fog, burst forth from his 36,000 pores, enveloping his perfect flesh like golden dragon snakes.
His aura was overwhelming, akin to a god or demon. Between heaven and earth, a low, mournful sound echoed, as if emanating from the netherworld.
The entire Mo City seemed to freeze.
"Souls..."
"Return!"
The summoned spirits returned to their rightful 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 its eyes, as if slicing through the firmament.
Clank, clank—
As soon as the words were spoken, the sound of icy chains reverberated, stretching across the heavens and earth, as if tearing space apart.
Above the piles of flesh and blood in Mo City, Fengdu, a deep chasm suddenly appeared, resembling a vast and profound black hole. The black hole roared, churning endlessly, vast and boundless, as if connecting to another silent and cold world.
Clank, clank—
Chains emerged from the black hole, dancing wildly in the heavens and earth, binding countless shadowy 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 immensely powerful will seemed to emanate from the black mist, as if transmitted from the other side of the netherworld, causing a chill to run through one's body.
In that moment, Li Che seemed to see a city gate illuminated by blood-red light. An immense city gate, boundless and grand, stood in the netherworld, amidst the cold wind that carried the weight of time. The wind battered the city walls, leaving mottled marks and raising clouds of blood-red dust, creating a dreamlike scene.
Black chains hung from the city walls like curtains, and amidst the clanking sounds, 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 flickered. The dark and heavy aura slowly dissipated, and his eyes regained their fiery golden light.
The summoned spirits appeared one after another, gradually taking on their true forms.
Thick and powerful auras raged throughout Mo City, Fengdu, as violent winds intertwined, carrying various essences—divine, blood, and demonic.
Li Che stood motionless, his ink-black robes billowing in the wind, gazing at the ancient and profound Underworld Blood City that had just disappeared. He couldn't help but ponder the cycle of reincarnation within this world and the Underworld.
Could there be reincarnation within the Underworld?
However, Li Che didn't dwell on these thoughts for long. As he snapped back to reality, his eyes swept across the numerous Summoned Spirits before him.
The number of Summoned Spirits under his command had been increasing, and their strength was growing as well. This was a natural development as his power increased and he encountered stronger opponents. The Summoned Spirits he acquired after killing these powerful beings were naturally stronger.
Tonight, in Qitian Outer City, he unleashed a massacre, slaughtering numerous powerful beings from various divine factions within the city.
Now, these slain beings had all become his Summoned Spirits.
However, Li Che also understood that having too many Summoned Spirits was meaningless. Facing the three Supreme Sovereigns who occupied Qitian Inner City, numbers alone were a joke.
Therefore, for this bountiful harvest of Summoned Spirits...
Li Che had already made his decision long ago.
He needed to focus on quality over quantity, cultivating Summoned Spirits with powerful individual strength.
With a snap of his fingers, numerous Summoned Spirit chess pieces shot out and then expanded and distorted.
Fang Hanshu, Gu Changqing, Gu Yinxuan, Xie Yunsen, and other Summoned Spirits appeared one after another, standing respectfully in Mo City, Fengdu.
Many Summoned Spirits had transformed into Fengdu Summoned Subjects, emerging from the rebuilt houses of Mo City, looking at Li Che with fervent worship.
"My Lord!"
Their voices thundered like rolling thunder, shattering the pouring rain above Mo City.
These Summoned Spirits seemed to understand something, and their hearts were filled with fervor. They looked back at the newly summoned spirits behind Li Che, fresh and seemingly radiating heat...
Their mouths watered.
Li Che's gaze fell on Fang Hanshu. After some thought, he handed over the Summoned Spirits of the two Two Disasters, Three Ordeals Sages to Fang Hanshu, allowing him to devour and transform them, accelerating his path to becoming a Supreme Sovereign.
After all, Fang Hanshu had received the direct inheritance from the Qitian Temple Patriarch, and with the addition of the two Summoned Spirits, his progress would significantly increase.
If the Underworld could have another Supreme Sovereign, it would truly be a stable force.
With a Supreme Sovereign in the Underworld, they would be invincible in the mortal realm.
After all, Fang Hanshu, as a Summoned Spirit, was not afraid of death. He could go all out in the mortal world, and even if he was struck by lightning and died, it wouldn't be a big deal. He could revive and become a hero once more.
"Thank you, my lord."
Fang Hanshu's eyes gleamed with excitement. Indeed, after becoming a Summoned Spirit, his restrictions were greatly reduced, and his cultivation breakthroughs became more savage and direct.
Li Che then arranged the remaining Summoned Spirits. The two One Disaster, Two Ordeals Sages were assigned to Gu Changqing and Gu Yinxuan, one a Poison Saint and the other a Dan Saint, both of whom were Li Che's trusted aides and sources of resources for his future martial cultivation.
Gu Yinxuan took away a One Disaster, Two Ordeals Sage, while Gu Changqing had the same intention.
The remaining Summoned Spirits were generously bestowed upon Li Che's other Summoned Spirits with a wave of his hand.
Roars, howls, and struggles filled the air as the newly revived Summoned Spirits, none of them weak, possessed clear wills. Some even went insane upon sensing their fate after death and rebirth, starting to struggle and resist.
Li Che relished their struggles and resistance, as it allowed him to act without any sense of guilt.
When Summoned Spirits devoured other Summoned Spirits, they grew and strengthened simultaneously, but the refinement process took time.
Undoubtedly, this was a feast of celebration, and the loyal Summoned Spirits were bound to experience a significant breakthrough!
Li Che felt relieved. The pressure from the divine factions was immense, and he needed his Summoned Spirits to grow stronger to enhance his own power. In the future, the Underworld might have a chance to directly challenge the divine factions.
However, the strength of the divine factions was undeniable.
The cultivators nurtured in the mortal realm for countless years entered the Gui Que and obtained divine resources, rapidly increasing their strength. They all joined one of the three major divine factions.
The divine factions were even more powerful than Li Che had imagined.
For the Underworld to catch up with the divine factions, there was still a long way to go.
Even without considering the top-tier divine beings within the divine factions, the Three Disasters Supreme Sovereigns who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation were already formidable enough for the Underworld to strive for.
Rumble—
As the Summoned Spirits began to enjoy the feast, Li Che didn't stop his summary.
With a slight movement of his mind, the Ten Monstrous Ink Painting behind him suddenly unfurled.
Instantly, among the Summoned Spirits, two demonic spirits soared into the sky, roaring and struggling...
One was a Two Disasters, One Ordeal Demon Sovereign, and the other was the Mythical Eagle Demon Sovereign of the Two Disasters, Three Ordeals! Li Che threw the Two Disasters, One Ordeal Demon Sovereign to the Nine-Headed Sea Infant.
The Nine-Headed Sea Infant roared, its six heads whipping around, as it opened its huge mouth and completely devoured the Demon Sovereign's spirit.
Originally, Li Che wanted to use the spirit of the Mythical Eagle Demon Sovereign to unlock the third monster in the Ten Monstrous Ink Painting. However...
The unlocking of the third monster presented more options.
The Dao Induction trembled slightly, as if reminding him.
Since the second monster, Brutal Strength, was opened at the level of a Two Disasters Demon Sovereign, the third monster could choose a more powerful Three Disasters-level Demon Sovereign! Li Che's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
His heart stirred, and although the Dao Induction indicated that he could directly unlock the third monster with a Two Disasters Demon Sovereign...
His heart couldn't help but stir with excitement.
If the Ten Monstrous Kill Array was fully unlocked, the power of the array might exceed imagination!
"No Mediocrity..."
Li Che chose to be selective.
So, he fed the Two Disasters, Three Ordeals Demon Sovereign to Brutal Strength, which had transformed into the Black Niu Demon Sovereign.
The Nine-Headed Sea Infant had just devoured a Demon Sovereign and was in the process of refinement, unable to continue devouring.
[Ten Monstrous Ink Painting: Nine-Headed Sea Infant (70%), Brutal Strength (60%)]
After devouring a Two Disasters, Three Ordeals Demon Sovereign, Brutal Strength's progress increased directly to 60%. Li Che was curious about what kind of transformation would occur when the progress of these Ten Monstrous Kill Array monsters reached 100%.
Rumble—
With a slight movement of his mind, the Dragon-Phoenix Adamantite Dao Fruit in his chest began to pulsate. Li Che's eyes flickered with flowing light.
[Dao Fruit: Dragon-Phoenix Adamantite (lv7, 70%)]
Perhaps it was because the Dragon-Phoenix Adamantite Dao Fruit recognized this night's battle, as its maturity directly increased by 10%, which was indeed a bountiful harvest!
