Chapter 487: Spacetimewheel's Metamorphosis, Jujian Flag in Hand, Half-Step Supreme Lord Fang's Undefeated Opportunity

Someone actually wanted to get a head start...

Stealing his Jujian Flag!

Li Che's eyes narrowed, and he instantly sensed that something was amiss. If not for this, he would have preferred to wait and watch Xixi's Succession Ceremony before attempting to seize the flag.

He wasn't in a hurry. The Wiles Pavilion was different from the human world; it was vast and boundless.

Endless and boundless, far beyond the imagination of ordinary mortals, like the difference in scale between the Earth and the Sun.

Therefore, carving out a path within the Wiles Pavilion, heading towards the direction of Qitian Inner City, would require an incredibly long time to traverse.

Even with the ability to quickly dash through the established path, it would still take some time to reach the destination.

Hence, Li Che wasn't in a rush. He wanted to wait for the right opportunity, confirm the situation, and then make his move to seize the flag.

However, he never expected that within the Wiles Pavilion, there was another force that had learned about the Jujian Flag being borrowed and was on its way to Qitian City.

The Jujian Flag... It could allow even Supreme Beings and Divine Spirits to temporarily block the will of the human world, and it was an invaluable treasure to summon divine soldiers to the human realm.

So, it was understandable that it was being fought over.

Which force was it?

A powerful being from the Divine Camp?

It was hard to say, because the Wiles Pavilion was vast, and besides the Divine Camp, there were other powerful beings, such as the Dragon Clan, the Ancient Clan, and even forces like the Lie Shen Pavilion.

This was just Li Che's superficial understanding of the Wiles Pavilion. In fact, there were also the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Wiles Pavilion, and Qitian had even fought his way into it...

Within it were immortal divine beings who had lived through countless years, and that was truly terrifying and powerful.

"So... which force could it be?"

Li Che slowly slid his palm down, putting on the Mengxiang Mask, representing his current identity as Diting of the Netherworld.

As for why he used Diting's identity, Li Che planned to use demonic energy to conceal his Wuxian aura. After all, the Netherworld Ghost Emperor's dying horse armor was still needed for a while longer, and he had to continue pretending to be on the brink of death.

He had to block those ambitious powerful beings from the Divine Camp who were stirring in Qitian Inner City.

By assuming Diting's identity and activating the basic ability of the Wan Yao Emperor's Dao Fruit, he could merge his Qi Xue with demonic energy, transforming it into demonic energy.

Not only could he fully unleash his combat power, but he could also disguise his identity, achieving two goals at once.

Through the blurry image of the TianDi Chessboard, he could only see some chaos within the Wiles Pavilion, with powerful beings from various forces making their moves to plunder the Jujian Flag, but he couldn't discern the specific situation.

Therefore, Li Che didn't hesitate and decided to take action.

With a clenched fist, Li Che, now disguised, vanished in an instant.

Qitian City.

Fang Hanshu sat in the courtyard, reading the Sheng Xian Book, but if one looked closely, they would notice a starlight-like glow constantly flickering in his brow.

A chess piece floated up, then expanded and twisted, transforming into Li Che's figure, wearing the Mengxiang Mask and a straw hat.

Fang Hanshu was slightly startled and closed the Sheng Xian Book in his hand.

Even with the mask, as a Bind Deity, he was extremely sensitive to Li Che's aura and instantly recognized the visitor.

"Isn't today the day of Xixi's Succession Ceremony?"

Fang Hanshu had a hint of confusion.

He naturally knew about this matter, and Lu Taibai even sent a message inviting him to attend.

However, Fang Hanshu's situation was a bit special. Qitian Temple had just been rebuilt, and they couldn't afford to have him leave his position there.

Moreover, he was striving to break through to the Supreme Realm, so he hadn't gone to Divine Origin Dao City.

Li Che had rushed over using Lei NuoYi.

"It is indeed the day of Xixi's Succession Ceremony, but some unexpected changes have occurred."

Li Che spoke calmly.

"Another force has learned that the Xuanzhen Supreme has borrowed the Jujian Flag from the Emperor, and they're intercepting it on the way, intending to seize it."

As Li Che finished speaking, Fang Hanshu's eyes immediately showed surprise.

"Another force knows about this?"

"Which mysterious force could it be? The Ancient Clan of the Wiles Pavilion? Or one of the other two Divine Camps?" Fang Hanshu's first thought was the same.

Li Che pushed down his hat, "I don't know, and it doesn't matter."

"No matter which force it is... they can't take my Jujian Flag."

Li Che's tone was resolute.

Fang Hanshu almost laughed out loud; the lord was indeed worthy of his title, so domineering...

"Have you broken through to the Supreme Realm?" Li Che asked eagerly.

Fang Hanshu smiled, his expression filled with joy, "Not yet, but I'm close. With the experience of the Ancestor's Guan Ding, I feel it's coming soon."

Supreme Realm.

For now, if they could have one more Supreme Being to assist, they could truly gain some time.

Fang Hanshu didn't say more. He changed out of his Confucian robe and put on a black robe and hood like Li Che's. With his fingers spread, he took out a mask with a flowing starry river, the Lie Shen Killer Mask, and covered his face.

"When you make your move, can the Lie Shen Pavilion identify you through the mask?"

Li Che curiously glanced at the mask with the flowing starry river.

Fang Hanshu hesitated for a moment, "Probably not..."

"But it's hard to say. Each Lie Shen Killer Mask is carved by that mysterious Lie Shen Pavilion's Pavilion Master, and their origins are very mysterious. Perhaps they contain some unique aura that can't be ruled out."

"However, they probably can't sense it, otherwise, the Lie Shen Pavilion wouldn't often be framed in the Wiles Pavilion."

Li Che smiled, and Fang Hanshu took off the mask. Li Che grabbed the mask, and the Huazhongxian Dao Fruit trembled, then replicated two starry river masks.

He put the Lie Shen Killer Mask on top of the original Diting Mask.

Fang Hanshu didn't refuse and took the replicated Huazhongxian Starry River Lie Shen Killer Mask.

After that, Li Che took Fang Hanshu to Ink City Fengdu.

With a flick of his finger, a flying thunder chess piece floated up, and Li Che clenched it again.

Buzzing—

In his chest.

A Dao Fruit trembled slightly.

Li Che's heart moved, and he was surprised to find that the trembling Dao Fruit was the Spacetimewheel Dao Fruit.

"Hmm? Why?"

Li Che paid close attention to the strange changes in the Dao Fruit, especially the one he had just obtained.

Regarding this ninth Dao Fruit, Li Che always felt a sense of cluelessness, not knowing where to start.

However, Li Che had high hopes for this Dao Fruit.

Because this Dao Fruit was related to time and space, and it might allow him to return to his former homeland.

It was an intuition, and the reason Li Che wanted to return to his homeland was also related to the divinities in this world. The overlapping myths of two worlds gave Li Che a vague sense of familiarity and connection.

Buzz—

The Dao Fruit seemed to be absorbing an inexplicable power that separated the Wiles Pavilion from the mortal realm.

Using Lei NuoYi, Li Che directly teleported from the mortal realm into the Inner Wiles Pavilion...

So, did this directly stimulate the Dao Fruit? Li Che understood the reason, and for a moment, he felt a little extra joy, considering it an unexpected delight.

Before him, golden light flowed and intertwined.

【Dao Fruit: Spacetimewheel (lv1, 60%)】

The maturity level had increased so much in one go!

Li Che's eyes widened in surprise. If he could travel back and forth a few more times, wouldn't it mean that he could fill up the maturity level of this Dao Fruit?! However, Li Che also knew that the Dao Fruit was very picky, and a method to increase proficiency would certainly not be long-lasting.

But, in addition to the Inner Wiles Pavilion, there were also the Nine Heavenly Wiles Pavilions and the Ten Earthly Wiles Pavilions! Every time he traveled through different Wiles Pavilions, he should be able to obtain spacetime energy and accumulate it in the Spacetimewheel, allowing the Dao Fruit to grow!

Buzz—

However, Li Che did not spend too much time thinking.

His entire body had already completed the Lei NuoYi of the chess piece left on Lian Gonggong's body.

At the same time as the teleportation, Li Che had also maximized the activation of the Sleeping Longxiang effect of the Longxiang Jin Gang Dao Fruit.

Therefore, at the moment of completing the teleportation, Li Che's aura did not leak out at all.

Moreover, with Lian Gonggong's low strength, it did not attract the attention of the confronting parties. Thus, Li Che's appearance was like a ghost, floating out from behind Lian Gonggong and then disappearing into the darkness.

Buzz—

Ripples appeared in the void, but they were not very noticeable.

Inner Wiles Pavilion.

The vast and boundless mountain path was shrouded in mysterious mist, intertwining silk threads on the ground, and the sky turned crimson, like flowing blood, reflecting in the sky.

This was not Li Che's first time stepping into the Wiles Pavilion. Previously, he had to enter the Wiles Pavilion for the Temple God's resonance and such, and Qitian Inner City was also within the Wiles Pavilion.

Therefore, Li Che was quite familiar with the Wiles Pavilion and did not experience any discomfort.

However, the divine nature within the Wiles Pavilion was too rich, making Li Che, a pure Wuxian, feel slightly uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the mud pill between his eyebrows trembled slightly, and the divine embryos began to cheer, helping Li Che overcome this discomfort.

The mountain path stretched endlessly, and snow fell from the sky.

Within the Wiles Pavilion, besides the rich divine nature and intertwining mist, there was not much difference from the mortal realm. There were still the four seasons and the alternation of day and night.

It was as if it were a reflection of the mortal realm, with the only difference being the mysterious mist.

The mist was very mysterious. If it became too dense, it would bring about a vast and terrifying divine nature, like a tide or a wave. Within the mist, it seemed as if one could hear the voices of terrifying creatures.

It was as if unique and strange creatures lived within the mist.

The mountain path was covered in snow, making it very smooth. There were significant differences between the Wiles Pavilion and the mortal realm. First, the stability of heaven and earth seemed stronger, not as fragile as the outside world, easily shattered.

Boom—

The battle had already erupted. Between the mountain paths, flying sand and rolling stones, countless snowflakes instantly exploded, and after melting, they turned into rising mist.

The more intense the confrontation, the denser the mist became.

"Hand over the Juxian Xuan Qi, and you will be spared. Otherwise... we'll kill you and take the Juxian Qi!"

A cold and indifferent voice came from the person blocking the convoy of powerful cultivators escorting the Juxian Xuan Qi to Qitian Inner City.

The black-robed cultivator who had spoken with the emperor had an extremely cold expression, and his eyes held a rolling killing intent.

"We are following the orders of the Xuanzhen Supreme to escort this Juxian Qi to Qitian Inner City, helping the Xuanzhen Supreme break out of Qitian Inner City and completely occupy it!"

"This is the common will of the Supreme of the Three Great God Camps and even the divinities!"

"The Lie Shen Killers, a group of jackals living in the dark! How dare you commit such an offense against the divinities?!"

The black-robed cultivator was extremely cold, his voice like a surging tide.

Lie Shen Killers?

Li Che, who was hiding in the darkness, suddenly paused, his mind feeling a little dazed.

No, he and Fang Hanshu hadn't made their move yet! How could the Lie Shen Killers appear? Li Che's gaze focused, looking towards the distance, where six figures wearing Xinghe masks were surrounded by vast divine nature and Qi Xue, transforming into pillars of light and rushing into the clouds, distorted by the dense mist above.

The six of them completely enveloped the convoy escorting the Juxian Qi, sealing off all directions.

At this moment, the black-robed cultivator's expression turned extremely ugly...

Lie Shen Killers?

Could they really be the Lie Shen Killers?

In the Wiles Pavilion, there were many forces doing evil deeds under the name of the Lie Shen Killers.

Just like himself, he had also used the name of the Lie Shen Killers before and done some unspeakable deeds.

But...

Regardless of whether they were Lie Shen Killers or not, the crucial question was who leaked the information? This was very important!

Very few people knew about him borrowing the Juxian Qi from the emperor. Why did the Lie Shen Killers' killers come to intercept them in advance? If it was indeed the Lie Shen Killers, where did they get their information?

Moreover, how was this path through the Wiles Pavilion to Qitian City, which the Supreme had just opened up through the mist, exposed and known to others?

"Stop the chatter... hand over the Juxian Qi!"

A cold shout! A terrifying burst of power exploded.

The six figures almost simultaneously transformed into silver light, rushing forward without reservation, attacking the convoy.

The beast pulling the carriage roared, as if startled, while the Zitan box being pulled became the target!

The battle erupted in an instant, as two Second Disaster, Third Tribulation assassins besieged the Elder in black robes. Meanwhile, four other Second Disaster, First Tribulation assassins targeted the zitan box.

The beast pulling the carriage, a First Disaster Demon God, roared and attacked, but it was no match for the four Second Disaster, First Tribulation assassins.

Hunters' Pavilion had deployed such a formidable lineup, clearly determined to obtain the Juxian Flag at all costs!

In the darkness, Li Che observed with cold eyes.

No one noticed his presence, and he didn't mind. He was content to sit back and watch, waiting to reap the benefits of the conflict. This was something Li Che excelled at.

Moreover, these assassins from Hunters' Pavilion seemed unaware that the Emperor had entrusted the genuine Juxian Flag to Lian Gonggong, and the zitan box might hold a pleasant surprise.

Lian Gonggong had already been surrounded and killed by powerful opponents with a single move, lying on the side.

He wasn't dead, of course. As a Bound Deity, he possessed immortality and was merely feigning death.

Boom!

A terrifying collision occurred, shaking the void, even the relatively stable void of the Wiles Pavilion, to the point of near rupture.

The powerful shockwaves not only tore through space but also ripped apart the ground of the Wiles Pavilion, creating deep, crisscrossing ravines. The ground cracked, and scorching heat rose from the depths, billowing upwards with a hissing sound.

Facing two opponents of the same cultivation level, he was naturally under pressure, and with his mind in a hurry, he suffered injuries.

Scorching blood spilled from his mouth, splattering onto the divine armor. Each drop of blood resembled a precious agate bead, translucent and sparkling, creating craters in the dusty ground.

"You... are seeking death!"

"Attacking the Indestructible Hell Lotus is a consensus among all factions. Your actions are disrupting the united plan of the divine factions!"

The divine general roared, his armor clanging as his body expanded, causing the armor to bulge. The Calamity Wheel on his back cracked with a crunch.

His skin turned purplish-blue, indicating that his physical body had reached its limit!

The ground shattered, and the terrifying aura of the Second Disaster Elder wreaked havoc, forming an invisible field like a celestial cave. The calamity force raged like a ferocious python, howling in fury.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sand and stones flew, and boulders pierced the air!

However, the opponents were well-prepared and also unsealed their divine weapons, clashing their divine auras in the sky, where they annihilated each other.

A golden giant Buddha suddenly appeared, and its massive palm slammed down, colliding with the divine general's spear.

"You are not from Hunters' Pavilion! You are the black-hearted monks of Hei Xumi!"

Li Che continued to observe with cold eyes, showing no urgency to intervene.

However, he was now surrounded and attacked by the black-hearted monks of Hei Xumi. He knew he wouldn't survive, as these monks had sealed off the Wiles Pavilion, preventing his escape. He had to be silenced!

These monks from Hei Xumi would frame Hunters' Pavilion for this attack! How despicable!

"Xuanzhen Supreme... This subordinate... has done his best!"

An invisible Buddha light instantly permeated and cleansed the divine general's body.

In an instant, the divine general's armor cracked like a spider web. Through the cracks, divine essence, essence, and blood oozed out.

Boom!

Under the terrifying impact, the divine general's armor shattered, and his flesh exploded, turning into scattered chunks of meat. Thick, bloody mist billowed like a dense fog.

The divine soul roared and soared into the sky, but in front of the two Hunters' Pavilion assassins exuding cold, ruthless Buddha light, it gradually faded and was annihilated.

In the Wiles Pavilion, things were different from the human world.

In the human world, the will of heaven and earth would mourn the fallen, manifesting unusual phenomena.

However, in the Wiles Pavilion, there was little commotion when someone fell. At most, the sky would become darker, and the blood-red mist would thicken.

With Lian Gonggong pretending to be dead on the side, the entire escort team was completely wiped out.

The two First Disaster Divine Tribulation cultivators had no chance of resisting this formidable siege.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Six figures gathered beside the zitan box.

Their gazes fell upon it.

The assassins wearing the Hunters' Pavilion masks raised their hands, palms pressed together, and chanted softly.

It seemed like they were mourning and offering salvation to the people they had just killed.

Then, one of the Second Disaster, Third Tribulation monks approached the zitan box, spreading his five fingers to take the box, which presumably contained the Juxian Flag.

However, just as his hand touched the box—

The zitan box exploded!

Golden Qi Yun intertwined and blossomed!

"Shenfu Killing Formation!"

Buzz!

All the powerful cultivators present were enveloped by the formation, and even half of the Second Disaster, Third Tribulation assassin's body was severed by the killing formation, his flesh and blood withering and melting away!

His divine essence, flesh, and bones were all melting!

An extremely vicious killing formation!

Another Second Disaster, Third Tribulation cultivator quickly intervened, summoning his divine weapon and unleashing its divine aura, slamming into the killing formation and finally destroying it!

"What a Dajing Emperor!"

"To use the Dajing Qi Yun as a guide and set up a Shenfu Killing Formation!"

The Second Disaster, Third Tribulation Divine Tribulation Elder, who had lost half his body, looked extremely distressed.

"Something's wrong... something's not right!"

"Quickly check if the Juxian Flag is hidden within!"

The Elder, whose body had been sliced in half, roared in anger.

The powerful Dao Soul of Heaven and Earth shook, sweeping through the heat, but found that the purple sandalwood box had exploded into six pieces, transforming into six divine talismans that intertwined to form a killing array!

However, there was no trace of the Juxian Flag!

"There's no Juxian Flag!"

"Where is the Juxian Flag?! The Great Emperor promised Xuanzhen Supreme, so he must have borrowed the Juxian Flag!"

"That dead eunuch! It might be on his body!"

The Elder, having lost half his body, had suffered a huge loss. How could he bear it?

He immediately shot towards the location where Lian Gonggong was pretending to be dead.

Hidden in the darkness, Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly.

His five fingers spread out.

As the Elder approached Lian Gonggong's body, Li Che clenched his fist, and his entire body activated the Feilei Teleportation.

He burst out from the darkness, and a terrifying demonic aura surged into the sky, his spine writhing like a shocking demon dragon roaring in anger!

Five strange seeds of the Eight Strange Gates burst open!

Wuxian Will!

Release!

The surrounding void distorted in an instant, and the overwhelming demonic energy, as if infused with blood and energy, erupted, like a bomb exploding with countless rays of light!

The Yin-Yang Demon Blade fell into his hand, and on the blade, countless pores seemed to open, emitting an extremely excited screech!

The long blade trembled, and the sword light crisscrossed!

The Thousand Mountains Lone Traveler's Empty Blade!

Fighting Victory Secret Technique!

Boom—!!!

The hidden aura burst forth in an instant, and the dazzling blade light, like a waterfall, poured out in an instant, exploding behind the Elder who wanted to examine Lian Gonggong's body!

In just a moment!

The Elder had no time to react, as there was still such a domineering killing intent hidden in the darkness!

Who?!

But...

Sensing the overwhelming demonic energy!

Wiles Pavilion!!!

The Elder roared, and his entire body was enveloped by the blade light.

The domineering demonic energy, carrying unparalleled ferocity, compressed the mountains and rivers into a single blade of light, eradicating all colors in the world!

The sword light roared, carrying the demonic energy and piercing through every corner of the world!

The space was instantly sliced into countless cracks by the sword light, and the dazzling blade light exploded, shaking the earth and mountains, creating a huge pit in the ground, covering even Lian Gonggong's body!

This Elder, who was already severely injured by the divine talisman killing array, had no time to react. In his uncontrollable anger, his physical body was blasted apart!

The flesh and blood completely exploded!

The blood mist swirled and surged.

In the distance, the remaining five Elders were stunned.

The assassination... was too sudden and unexpected!

The Great Emperor, or Xuanzhen Supreme, still had a backup plan?

No... something's wrong!

"A mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The raging blood mist surged and intertwined, and a tall figure emerged, carrying a demon blade with countless open pores, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth. He stepped out of the storm of shredded flesh.

The starry mask shone brightly!

Everyone had come for the Juxian Flag!

The number one scapegoat in the world, who would believe them and be a fool!

Clatter—!!!

Lian Gonggong stood respectfully behind Li Che, took out the hidden jade box, and handed it to Li Che.

After collecting the shredded flesh of the Elder he had blasted, Li Che took the jade box from Lian Gonggong.

Opening the jade box, a mighty divine pressure surged out.

A palm-sized flag instantly flew out of the jade box—it was the Juxian Xuan Flag, made of black fabric with ancient immortal inscriptions.

Li Che felt that in the TianDi Chessboard, the other Juxian Flag was constantly trembling, and his mood instantly improved.

"It's the Juxian Flag!"

"The Juxian Xuan Flag! The Great Emperor did borrow the Juxian Flag!"

"Unfortunately, we targeted the wrong person! How cunning, Great Emperor!"

...

The remaining five Elders were furious.

They had worked so hard, only for others to reap the benefits!

"Kill!"

"Seize the flag!"

The five Elders couldn't bear it, and they knew that from now on, they could only rely on their strength to snatch the Juxian Flag!

"The foolish and reckless demons of Wiles Pavilion, when did they become so cunning?!"

"Did the Great Emperor collude with Wiles Pavilion? No... such cunning actions must be the schemes of the awakened divine spirit of Green Hill in Wiles Pavilion!"

The Elders were furious, but at this moment, they had no time to think further!

Li Che also had no time to think further because, at this very moment, as the Juxian Xuan Flag appeared.

That long-dormant Wu Gou Xin Dao Guo began to shake wildly, just like when he first entered the Peach Blossom Spring!

Longing... so much longing...

Li Che's heart was stirred, and he couldn't be bothered to deal with them.

He flicked his finger.

A black chess piece shot out.

In mid-air, it began to twist and grow.

"Kill them all, leave none alive."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Fang Hanshu wore a starry mask with flowing stars, accompanied by the sound of clattering, and hovered in the air with his sleeves fluttering and his back to the sky.

The five Elders who maintained their charging posture suddenly froze.

Because...

A force that seemed to solidify space made their bodies shiver.

"Semi-step Supreme?!"
