Chapter 494: Pomoshi Xiong's Third Calamity, Burning Calamity and Battle

Chapter 494: Pomoshi Xiong's Third Calamity, Burning Calamity and Battle

The rain poured relentlessly, and the sky above Mo City was shrouded in thick, dark clouds. A sense of foreboding hung in the air, yet there was also a glimmer of hope and rebirth after the calamity.

Every time Li Che lured a powerful enemy to Mo City Feng Du, it was akin to a trial by fire. The city would be left in ruins, and the slow process of restoration was, in itself, a journey of overcoming tribulations.

This battle was no different. Although Mo City Feng Du became more resilient after each destruction, the enemies Li Che brought into the city also grew stronger. This time, he had even drawn in a Supreme!

The clash between the Supreme and Li Che in Mo City Feng Du caused unimaginable destruction. Nearly all the buildings lay in ruins, and even the Sovereign Tower, though distant from the center of the battle, burst apart under the impact of the shockwaves.

Blood rained down as the giant wolf head slammed into the ground, its wounds still gushing with blood.

The Supreme's demonic soul had already been vanquished by Li Che, and the threat was no more.

Pomoshi Xiong's back expanded, and the demonic energy and soul of the Black Ox Demon God Supreme were pulled into it.

Li Che flicked his fingers.

Two figures emerged—the Poison Saint, Gu Yinxuan, and the Pill Saint, Gu Changqing.

Li Che had called them to collect the Supreme's essence blood. A Demon God Supreme was a treasure trove, not only for its demonic pill but also for its essence blood, flesh, muscles, and more.

Gu Yinxuan and Gu Changqing's eyes widened at the sight. The overwhelming pressure of the Supreme filled the air, making it difficult for the two to even move.

Although they had consumed a significant amount of Jusen Energy, raising their cultivation to the Two-Calamity realm, they still paled in comparison to the Supreme.

Li Che gripped the Yin-Yang Demon Blade and aimed it at the Heavenly Wolf Supreme's corpse. Despite its massive size and the terrifying pressure it still emitted, even in death, Li Che's blade severed its head.

The Demon Blade trembled with excitement, as if it were howling with joy.

In an instant, the pores on the Demon Blade expanded, transforming into countless sharp tentacles that pierced the Heavenly Wolf Supreme's corpse.

It seemed to be absorbing the demonic energy and soul, but the Demon Blade only absorbed a small portion before retracting.

A gush of blood erupted as the corpse split open, and countless tentacles surrounded a glowing pill, radiating heat and immense energy, floating before Li Che.

The pill was filled with surging demonic energy, blood essence, vital energy, and divinity. Even traces of the Great Dao's divine patterns were woven into its surface, befitting a pill that rivaled divine medicine.

"Master..." Gu Changqing's eyes widened in astonishment.

The quality of the Supreme's demonic pill was indeed exceptional.

"Can you handle it?" Li Che asked.

Gu Changqing swallowed hard but didn't respond immediately. He hesitated, his face showing uncertainty.

Finally, he exhaled.

"It's difficult."

"Why so?" Li Che asked calmly.

Gu Changqing, as a Jusen, had his own consciousness but was absolutely obedient to Li Che. Seeing the Supreme's demonic pill, he didn't dare to take charge.

"Master, the Supreme's demonic pill is filled with its divine essence and the Great Dao's divine patterns... I can't eradicate them. To refine a pure martial pill, we can't contaminate it with divine essence and the Great Dao's patterns. This is crucial."

"So, even though I'm tempted, I can't handle the Supreme's demonic pill, and naturally, I can't refine it."

Gu Changqing was honest.

Li Che frowned upon hearing this.

Gu Changqing added, "This is different from extracting the divine essence from divine medicine. Divine medicine is a plant, but this demonic pill..."

"I understand," Li Che said, waving his hand.

He knew what Gu Changqing meant. With his current cultivation, even if he died a thousand times, he might not be able to eradicate the willpower from the Supreme's demonic pill.

"Rest assured, I'll take care of it."

As a Pill Saint, Gu Changqing lacked the means to extract the divine essence from the demonic pill, but Li Che knew someone who could.

Gu Yinxuan and Gu Changqing didn't say more. They rubbed their hands together and set off to collect the Supreme's essence blood.

One would refine the poison pill, and the other would refine the divine pill! After completing their tasks, they turned into black mist and departed.

Li Che's gaze swept across the scene, a slight smile curving his lips.

The previous hunt for the Black Ox Demon God Supreme had required intricate calculations, backstabbing, poisoning, ambushing, and mental attacks to finally slay the Supreme.

But this time was different. Li Che directly employed his powerful cultivation, having reached the Wuxian realm and absorbed six strange gates of the Xian species, to forcefully explode and kill the Heavenly Wolf Supreme!

Fang Hanshu's scholarly robe fluttered as he reappeared, his face bearing a gentle smile. Yet, deep within his eyes, there was a sense of awe.

He never imagined that he would truly join Li Che in slaying a Demon God Supreme! A Supreme, no less!

Although it was only at the Three-Calamity realm, it was still the most powerful existence beneath the gods. Even Fang Hanshu, at this moment, felt a surge of exhilaration in his heart.

Fang Hanshu didn't linger. Li Che was an expert in handling Supreme corpses, so Fang Hanshu simply bowed and left Mo City Feng Du, returning to Qitian City.

In fact, Zhou Heng had already reported the situation to Li Che.

The Xuanzhen Supreme and Kaluka Supreme had discovered the Heavenly Wolf Supreme's demise, so Fang Hanshu needed to return to Qitian City to maintain stability in case of any unforeseen events.

Li Che didn't say anything. After Fang Hanshu left, he stared at the corpse of the Heavenly Wolf Demon God Supreme.

Then, he slowly narrowed his eyes.

Behind him, the Pomoshi Xiong painting devoured the demonic energy and soul of the Heavenly Wolf Demon God Supreme, and at this moment, it was brewing and undergoing a transformation.

It was as if the painting was drawing the third Xiong of the Pomoshi.

Li Che didn't attempt to Bind Deity first. Regardless of whether the Bind Deity would succeed or not, if it failed, could he still continue the transformation of the Pomoshi Xiong...

Because Li Che still needed this Supreme's assistance, he didn't choose to Bind Deity but instead directly turned him into one of the Pomoshi.

Additionally, the inner city of Qitian also discovered the situation with the Heavenly Wolf Supreme, so there wasn't much point in letting the Heavenly Wolf Supreme transform into a Bind Deity and infiltrate back.

The Heavenly Wolf Supreme had lost the qualification to become a layout chess piece.

Of course, it was also because Li Che had a unique perception in his heart.

Within his chest, the [Space-Time Golden Wheel] Dao Fruit, when he killed the Heavenly Wolf Demon God Supreme, unconsciously started to pulsate.

At first, he didn't react, but now he savored the moment.

His heart moved slightly, and his five fingers spread out, extracting a strand of demonic energy from the Heavenly Wolf.

This strand of demonic energy was instantly devoured by the Space-Time Golden Wheel, and the next moment, Li Che sensed a huge space golden wheel appearing before him.

The space golden wheel spun, and instantly, a rift in space opened.

Then...

Li Che saw the space-time golden wheel behind, which was the Heavenly Wolf Demon God Supreme's Kunquan Space!

The place where treasures were hidden! Li Che's eyes lit up completely!

Since he had intended to turn the Heavenly Wolf into one of the Pomoshi from the start, why bother with the Bind Deity? The purpose of the Bind Deity was to make the Heavenly Wolf willingly reveal his Kunquan Space.

But the Bind Deity also had a chance of failure, and with the feedback from the vibrations of the space-time golden wheel, Li Che didn't bother researching and instead took a direct approach.

"It really worked..."

"Can the Space-Time Golden Wheel peek into others' hidden Kunquan Space?"

Li Che's eyes brightened slightly.

But soon, Li Che shook his head, thinking there should still be some limitations, and it could only be done after the target's death...

However, this was already more than enough!

Moreover, by locking onto the spatial anchor point, he located the Heavenly Wolf Supreme's Kunquan Space, and the maturity of the Space-Time Golden Wheel Dao Fruit increased significantly.

Wow, it directly increased to 50% maturity!

This made Li Che feel elated, and his expectations for the Space-Time Golden Wheel Dao Fruit grew.

Of course, it was mainly because he had discovered a way to enhance the Space-Time Golden Wheel Dao Fruit.

Initially, it was when he traveled between Wiles Pavilion and the mortal realm, capturing the power of space-time, that the Space-Time Golden Wheel Dao Fruit would gain enhancement.

Now that he had another method, Li Che felt relieved.

His five fingers clenched, and he devoured demonic energy.

The Wan Yao Emperor Dao Fruit trembled, ravenously devouring the energy.

In an instant...

Li Che seemed to have transformed into an ocean of demonic energy, gathering all the demonic energy around him.

The Wan Yao Emperor Dao Fruit was like a lone traveler in a desert, thirsty after a long journey, greedily absorbing the energy.

Li Che felt an unprecedented sense of comfort as he devoured the energy. When it ended, Li Che's vision shimmered with flowing light.

[Dao Fruit: Wan Yao Emperor (LV7, 10%)]



The increase was slightly smaller than he had imagined, only a 10% increase, but Li Che didn't feel surprised.

After reaching LV7, it became increasingly challenging to enhance the Dao Fruit.

One could imagine that for the Dao Fruit to undergo more transformations, it would only become more difficult.

Those Dao Fruit masters were stuck at the eighth transformation, unable to reach the ninth, precisely because the Dao Fruit became harder to transform in the later stages...

And Li Che...

With many Dao Fruits, the problems he faced might be even more than those Dao Fruit masters.

Moreover, as his daughter grew up, Li Che would have more and more Dao Fruits...

"Huff—"

Li Che exhaled, his eyes flashing. In front of him, the transformation prompts of the Wan Yao Emperor Dao Fruit flowed, but he wasn't reading those words.

His mind raced, and his heart stirred.

People couldn't pay attention to everything; there were always priorities.

So...

He needed to plan for the Dao Fruits.

However, as his daughter grew a year older, she would gain a Dao Fruit, and in the future, the Dao Fruits would inevitably increase. How should he plan for that? This was also a difficult problem.

Boom—!!!

Just as Li Che's heart trembled.

The boiling ink on his back began to explode, and the scroll shook with a rustling sound, slowly unfurling.

An image of an extremely ferocious and vicious beast formed on the scroll! It retained the form of the Heavenly Wolf, but with terrifying demonic energy, resembling a ferocious dog with sharp fangs, powerful limbs, and a body engulfed in black flames. Its black fur was curled, pure and pitch-black, as if ink had been splashed on it.

Slowly, the ink flowed back and gathered.

[Fenxu Huodou]



Pomoshi, the third Xiong!

The black flames were extremely hot, and its vertical pupils opened, also spewing out black flames like ink, distorting the void.

With a teleport, it instantly drilled into the space, disappearing for a moment, and then it emerged again, as if it had burned a hole in the void and emerged from another place!

Rustling...

Chains lashed and coiled around the Fenxu Huodou!

Three wolf eyes opened, and flames spewed!

A terrifying oppressive force swept through, almost occupying every corner of the entire Ink City Fengdu!

Li Che's eyes lit up instantly!

The third beast of the Pomoshi!

Li Che flicked his finger, and instantly, two black chess pieces shot out in mid-air, then expanded, slowly transforming into two more beasts of the Pomoshi!

Sea-Flipping Nine Heads and Guaili Zhuhuai!

Three beasts of the Pomoshi, their ferocious auras surged through heaven and earth without restraint, sweeping away everything in their path.

The entire city seemed to tremble endlessly under the impact of this terrifying power.

Three peerless ferocious beasts hovered above Li Che, and a unique connection suddenly erupted, creating a special resonance.

Li Che knew that this was the resonance of the Ten Calamities Killing Formation.

Rumble, rumble—

Countless demonic energies surged between heaven and earth, forming chains that intertwined, containing the power of the Grand Dao Divine Pattern, binding the three ferocious beasts together.

Dark clouds rolled, and demonic energy surged, as if a terrifying force raged within.

The three ferocious beasts raged with demonic energy, their ferocity reaching the heavens, but Li Che smiled in satisfaction.

With these three ferocious beasts, his daughter's safety was further guaranteed.

Snapping his fingers, the three beasts turned into black chess pieces and disappeared.

With the Burning Void Calamity Cauldron transformed by the Heavenly Wolf Supreme, and the three beasts forming the killing formation, even against a Supreme undergoing the Second Calamity and Third Tribulation, they might be able to fight a good battle.

Boom, boom, boom—

After a while of being washed by the ink rain, the ruins of Ink City had recovered significantly.

Li Che touched the ground with his toes, and the Temporal Golden Wheel seemed to roar behind him, as he crashed into space, and in the next moment, stepped out atop the soaring Dominance Tower.

He sat cross-legged, his ink-colored robe fluttering.

Li Che began to summarize the gains from his battle with the Heavenly Wolf Supreme.

In this battle, Li Che held nothing back, giving it his all. Although his blood and energy had demonized, he had already displayed all his foundation.

The six exploding strange gates of the immortal seeds indeed gave Li Che the confidence to cross the Supreme barrier.

Boom, boom, boom...

Within his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit continuously throbbed and rumbled.

It was as if the sound of a supreme god's war drum from the peak of the Nine Heavens was spreading out like a tide, shattering the still-howling ink rain.

Boom!!!

Invisible ripples spread from Li Che's body, making him the sole focus of the entire city in that instant. Li Che's eyes flashed with a dazzling brilliance.

Not a single mistake, a single shot, a single breath, a single move, a single glance, a single book, a single look!

Before his eyes, a stream of light flashed by.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV7, 80%)]



Indeed, after the battle with the Supreme, the gains were significant. With the previous induction of the sixth immortal seed, Li Che's Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit's maturity had reached 80%, bringing him one step closer to the next level.

Even Li Che couldn't help but feel his heart stir at this moment.

He was well aware that due to the chaos and his daughter Xi Xi's involvement with the Prison Lotus faction, there would be no shortage of battles. Therefore, the advancement of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit would undoubtedly be rapid.

However, when facing higher-level Dao Fruit levels, Li Che still had boundless expectations.

There was also another reason; many Dao Fruit masters were stuck at the eighth metamorphosis, so could he, Li Che, bring about change?!

Could he break free from this shackle?!

This was what Li Che had been eagerly anticipating.

He stood up, his blood and energy surging, and although the increase in the maturity of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit brought valuable enlightenment, other improvements were not as noticeable.

Unless it was the time for the Dao Fruit level to metamorphose, there would be no explosive advancement.

Li Che stretched his arms, his back muscles bulging, his spine like a dragon, with whirlpools of blood and energy silently roaring, golden energy radiating brilliantly.

Li Che roared towards the sky, his jet-black, robust hair flailing like lightning!

Although he didn't use the enlightenment feedback, when the Dao Fruit gained significant improvement, Li Che's martial arts would still be affected, and the Wuxian will trembled.

Between his roars, it was as if his mind became transparent. The Fighting Victory Secret Technique surged rapidly in his mind.

Li Che gripped the San Jian Liang Ren Dao and rose into the air, practicing martial arts in the pouring rain. The Dou character secret technique gradually improved, and after reaching the Small Accomplishment, it continued to soar, even hinting at a breakthrough towards Great Accomplishment!

Rumble, rumble—

The ink-colored rain pounded on Li Che's body, but his scorching blood and energy evaporated the rain, his hair dancing wildly as he exhaled, his breath piercing through the void like a divine spear!

"Refreshing!"

"Still, it's good to fight!"

Although Li Che was a steady and cautious person deep down, there was still a martial artist's romance in his bones, and he preferred pure combat!

The positive feedback of martial arts cultivation and the augmentation of the physical body made Li Che feel a sense of indulgence.

His heart pounded, and he eagerly anticipated the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit LV8 level, wondering what kind of metamorphosis it would bring.

He returned to the Dominance Tower.

Li Che sat atop the highest point of Ink City in Fengdu, his gaze sweeping across the entire city.

The entire city was in ruins.

Li Che had lost count of how many times Ink City had been shattered and reduced to ruins...

But undoubtedly, each time Ink City was shattered and ruined, it was a process of his growth.

As Xi Xi had said, the destruction and recovery of Ink City bore witness to Li Che's growth.

However...

Li Che's blood and energy, as well as his aura, dissipated, and he leaned back, lying atop the Dominance Tower.

He faced the ink rain, which seemed to magnify in his pupils.

He exhaled softly.

To be honest...

It was quite exhausting.

...

...

Qitian Inner City.

The terrifying Supreme's pressure permeated every corner of the city, and the oppressive atmosphere made all the Elders and those undergoing the Divine Tribulation in the inner city dare not breathe.

Many were even terrified, unsure of what had happened, and why the anger of the two Supremes was so intense.

It was as if they wanted to burn and destroy everything.

The powerful Grand Dao Divine Patterns of the Kaluka Supreme and the Xuanzhen Supreme danced wildly, coiling in the air like giant pythons.

The demonic energy above the Heavenly Wolf Palace completely dissipated.

The many demonic race Elders had already been suppressed by the pressure of the two Supremes, and they lay flat on the ground, facing the Supremes. Even those undergoing the Second Calamity and Third Tribulation felt their hearts tremble.

However, after interrogating all the powerful members of the Demon Race, the Kaluka Supreme and the Xuanzhen Supreme failed to obtain any answers. None of the demons knew where the Heavenly Wolf Supreme had gone.

This left the two Supremes feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Because the unknown is the most terrifying.

Where did the Heavenly Wolf go?

Did he go willingly, or was he forced?

If he was forced...

To secretly abduct a Supreme without anyone noticing is no easy feat! Could it be that a deity has intervened?

But besides the Temple Deity who had invaded the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, there were no other revived Temple Deities in the Yuku!

So, what exactly happened?

The two Supremes looked at each other, sensing the restlessness in each other's hearts. These two, who were usually as steady as mountains, had only shown anger when faced with the shameless antics of the Netherworld's Ghost Emperor.

Now, they felt an additional unease.

Boom—

Suddenly, the sky above the inner city of Qitian was filled with a rolling blood-red mist. The Kaluka Supreme and the Xuanzhen Supreme had incredibly sharp senses, and as soon as the commotion started, they abruptly raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

Since the inner city of Qitian now belonged to the Wiles Pavilion, the sky above it was also part of the Wiles Pavilion's domain.

At this moment, when they looked up, they saw the sky filled with blood-red mist, an extremely oppressive sight. Countless Dao patterns weaved and appeared, accompanied by the sound of rolling heavenly thunder.

These Dao patterns crumbled and collapsed, scattering all over the ground, completely shattering!

The faces of the Xuanzhen Supreme and the Kaluka Supreme changed drastically.

How could they not recognize this scene?

The countless blood-red mists seemed to transform into a blood-red demonic wolf, spanning across the sky. It raised its head, standing between heaven and earth, howling and wailing without end, letting out a wolf's howl...

Boom—

It was as if a blood-red sun had suddenly collapsed!

The entire inner city of Qitian shook, and all the cultivators felt as if they had been struck by lightning.

The various Demon Gods and Demon Lords of the Demon Race were stunned, their eyes wide open, their demonic energy uncontrollable. One by one, they transformed into their true demon forms, crying out in despair.

"Our race's Supreme..."

"Has fallen!"

Boom!!!

The blood mist swirled, and the Dao patterns crumbled!

The bodies of the Xuanzhen Supreme and the Kaluka Supreme turned cold, as if they had been frozen.

The Heavenly Wolf Supreme...

Was dead!

The phenomenon of a Supreme's fall appeared, indicating a complete death, leaving no trace of his demon soul!

Who could have done this?

How did he die?!

At this moment, Kaluka and Xuanzhen felt a chill in their hearts.

They looked at each other, already beginning to worry about their own safety. After all, if the Heavenly Wolf Supreme could die, then they... might also face the same fate!

...

...

As the blood rain fell, Li Che, who had been lying on the Dominating Building with a sense of satisfaction, finally emerged from the Ink City's Fengdu.

Looking at the mess in the city, Li Che felt a long-lost sense of fatigue in his heart.

But there was nothing he could do... Who could blame him for being a father?

For the safety of his daughter and for the peace and unity of his family in this world, Li Che had to work harder and endure more fatigue to create a better environment for his family.

This was the responsibility of being the head of a family.

As for the fatigue, it was just a fleeting emotion that suddenly surfaced.

Tired?

In this world, who wasn't tired? For many common people, just surviving was already exhausting.

Lu Taibai had the Flying Thunder Chess Piece left by Li Che, so he was well-informed about the situation in Xiling Dao. Li Che couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

Compared to those people, could he consider himself tired?

Although his daughter's situation was dangerous and complex, if he didn't become stronger, there might be unimaginable and uncontrollable dangers.

But...

At least he had the ability to change things by becoming stronger.

However, many people might work themselves to death without being able to change anything.

Buzz—

Li Che, wearing a straw hat and a black robe, appeared in the outer city of Qitian.

He swept his gaze over the inner city, and the death of the Heavenly Wolf Supreme, which had caused a significant change in the inner city's environment.

This change also affected the outer city.

Li Che stood in the blood rain, turning and walking towards a deep alley.

The dim orange lamplight illuminated the area.

The restaurant at the end of the alley seemed isolated from the world.

The owner sat at the entrance, smoking a cigarette, while a large black dog lay on the ground, snoring loudly.

Li Che approached slowly, and the owner slowly raised his head to look at him.

Suddenly, the owner turned his head to look at Li Che.

He carefully examined Li Che, and a strange color seemed to flash in his eyes.

"Are you tired?"

The owner extinguished the cigarette that was emitting a thin trail of blue smoke and asked casually.

Li Che was startled, not expecting the owner to notice his fatigue.

"It's normal for a father to be tired; it's not a big deal."

Li Che smiled lightly.

"After a good meal, I'll continue to be vigorous and strive for my family."

Li Che smiled.

He took out a Kunquan Jade and handed it to the owner.

The large black dog lying on the ground heard this and opened its drowsy eyes, looking at Li Che with gentle eyes.

Upon hearing this, the owner's face seemed to show a hint of a rare smile.

He took the Kunquan Jade from Li Che's hand, glanced at it, and saw the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Wolf Supreme inside.

In the past, when Li Che came to find the owner with ingredients but without Xi Xi, the owner would never pay him any attention and wouldn't help him process the ingredients.

But this time...

The owner, with his white clothes fluttering, waved his hand.

"Okay, wait a moment."
