Chapter 503: Xixi Receives the Qiankun Circle, Gathering the Divine Set (Part 1)
Chapter 503: Xixi Receives the Qiankun Circle, Gathering the Divine Set (Part 1)
Boom!
The rumbling thunder reverberated in his mind, as if the thunder pool within the Qiankun Circle had not yet dissipated and reappeared in the mortal realm.
It was as if countless divine dragons controlling thunder were roaring, their mouths emitting a deafening sound that formed a shockwave, constantly expanding and rippling across the mountain peak, causing the void to ripple with layers of spreading waves.
Li Che stood atop the mountain peak, his pores dilated, and in this moment, the essence of thunder he had absorbed gushed out, forming a hazy divine light that intertwined and shone.
Boom, boom, boom!
His heart was beating rapidly, as if stimulated to the extreme by a powerful force.
His blood seemed to flow at high speed, as if a high-pressure water gun was inserted into his veins, suddenly releasing and surging, causing the blood vessels to feel as if they were about to burst with intense pain.
But Li Che's entire being became incredibly transparent, falling into a mysterious and profound state.
His mind was crystal clear, as if connected to heaven and earth, allowing him to perceive countless stray energies gathering slowly, awaiting the next terrifying and violent thunder.
He also sensed the aura of destruction within the thunder.
Li Che exhaled slowly, a smile forming on his lips.
Thunder Magnetic Dao Body...
Dao Fruit, the Fifth Transformation!
Countless raging winds intertwined around him, and Li Che's mind was incredibly refreshed. The seventh... With the transformation of the Thunder Magnetic Dao Body's Dao Fruit, this would be the seventh Primordial Dao Tribulation he would master!
The Nine Tribulations were almost complete. If they were to converge, Li Che, who had been attempting to comprehend the Eight-Nine Profound Art, might succeed in forging it.
The path of martial arts and immortality had already reached its peak among mortals.
In this era, it was a time of divine tides. In this era, countless divine tides accumulated, and the resulting divinity became the fundamental method of cultivation.
Only by focusing on divinity could one reach higher realms and achieve godhood...
Take the Zhenwu Shenzong, for example. They cultivate Zhenwu, follow the Zhenwu path, but it's just a path walked in the mortal realm. Their limit is set there.
Only by embracing divinity with one's whole being can one step into the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations, gather the Disaster Tribulation Wheel, comprehend the Great Dao Divine Pattern, forge the Divine Platform, ignite the Divine Fire, and achieve godhood.
Eight-Nine Profound Art...
He would create his own Eight-Nine Profound Art...
On the path of martial arts and immortality, the way forward was unseen. So, Li Che created his own path.
The path of divinity could be walked, but Li Che lacked the confidence to reach a height comparable to eternal gods on the path of divinity.
Because gods are born from divine tides. They experience countless divine tides, climbing to the peak of the path of divinity and standing at the true, highest pinnacle.
What confidence did Li Che have in saying that he could walk the path already trodden by gods and reach the peak, fighting against eternal gods?
Although the Dao Fruit gave Li Che tremendous assistance, none of the Dao Fruits were explicitly for the path of divinity, nor could they clearly help Li Che improve his divine cultivation.
Moreover, Li Che always had a feeling...
Divinity felt too ethereal, like a dream.
But martial arts cultivation was different. In this world, Li Che's first encounter was with martial arts. It was a world of moves, punches, and kicks, tempering one's blood and energy, and exchanging sweat for cultivation.
Martial arts were built upon one's genuine flesh and blood.
So, Li Che fearlessly favored martial arts, which was a ray of light in his heart.
Even without the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, specifically for enhancing martial arts, Li Che would spare no effort and use everything to pursue martial arts.
As he gradually grew stronger, Li Che began to touch the essence of the world. He was no longer the woodcarver in Feilei City, worrying about daily meals and supporting his wife and daughter.
The higher his strength, the higher he stood, the more he could dispel the mist, tear through the eerie fog, and see the other side of the world, facing true danger.
Yulian Prison, the Pantheon, eternal gods, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths...
Even though Li Che had achieved the pinnacle of martial arts among mortals, he still felt the pressure, the pressure from the gods.
Qitian's faith soared, and the image of him somersaulting into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was constantly reflected in Li Che's mind.
Li Che always remembered the kindness others showed him, and he was determined to fight alongside Qitian in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
But the prerequisite was having the strength to face eternal gods.
Li Che's eyes snapped open, and a dazzling light seemed to burst forth with thunder, flashing and intertwining in a wild dance.
In the vastness of heaven and earth, countless raging winds howled, yet around Li Che, a clear and tranquil space formed.
Li Che's ears were filled with absolute silence, only the sound of his Dao Fruit's incessant, pounding heartbeat remained, intense and agitated, like an ancient life force, unleashing unimaginable power, swinging the innate divine drum, and rippling invisible waves.
Thunder surged through his entire body, every pore, every cell.
Li Che knew that at this moment, he stood atop the stone mountain of Zulong Island, observed by countless eyes, but he didn't care.
Beneath him, the stone mountain flowed with blood.
Li Che's eyes flickered.
"Huff!"
He exhaled, and the air swirled in the sky.
It was here.
In the vastness of heaven and earth, all sounds vanished, including the wind, clouds, and the rolling sound of shattered ground. Even the sound of blood gathering into drops and flowing away disappeared without a trace.
Only the pounding of the Dao Fruit in his heart remained.
Boom!!!
In the blink of an eye, a thousandth of a breath, his mind was pulled into the vast and boundless heavens and earth by a terrifying force.
The familiar vast heavens and earth, vast and surging, the Dao Tree spanning the sky, its branches and leaves blocking out the sun, casting everything into shadow.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
A Dao Fruit constantly flashing with thunder drew Li Che's gaze. It had no colorful hues, only a single color—the color of thunder! Yes, the color of thunder, a color Li Che couldn't describe with words, so he called it the color of thunder.
Countless lightning bolts shot out from the Dao Fruit, shattering space, exploding everything, filled with the aura of destruction, incredibly explosive.
Yet, it also possessed a unique domain, as if it could distort everything, twisting all approaching creatures and matter.
Amidst the raging sea of thunder, the scene transformed, no longer within the vast expanse, but amidst a thunderous realm where countless bolts of lightning intertwined.
It was like a true heavenly tribulation, gathering terrifying energy to deliver the most fearsome and lethal strike to those facing the tribulation.
Li Che's gaze intensified as he spotted a figure amidst the thunderous sea, seemingly insignificant amidst the countless bolts of lightning, yet becoming the focal point of heaven and earth. Countless bolts of lightning surrounded this figure, forming a unique domain, like the center of a vortex, an unassuming starting point.
The figure was entwined with every bolt of lightning, as if connected to each one, exuding a destructive aura, capable of annihilating everything in its path.
Li Che witnessed the figure seated, with countless bolts of lightning emanating from every pore of his body, as if a single person had unleashed the thunderous power that covered the entire heavens and earth.
Boom—
The figure seemed incredibly sensitive, sensing Li Che's gaze instantly, and suddenly opening up.
Like an extremely sharp spear, it pierced through space in an instant.
Li Che felt a tingling sensation throughout his body, as if a strand of real lightning was weaving through his heart. With a 'pong' sound, a numbing sensation spread across his body, and the next moment, his entire being was utterly shattered, like a tiny insignificant boat in the face of destructive power, capsizing completely.
Dazed.
Dizzy!
The world turned upside down!
Ancestral Dragon Island, the bleeding mountain summit.
Li Che opened his eyes, perhaps after just a breath, or maybe two breaths, but he felt as if he had experienced an eternity.
Uncontrollably, bolts of terrifying lightning burst from his pores.
"Another Dao Fruit Master... These Dao Fruit Masters, each one is terrifyingly powerful, truly formidable. It only takes a glance from them to bend space and time to their will."
Li Che took a deep breath. Each of these Dao Fruit Masters likely possessed the strength of an immortal deity.
Dao Fruit, the eighth metamorphosis...
Now, Li Che finally understood that to achieve the corresponding metamorphosis of the Dao Fruit, one must touch upon a sufficiently high level of power. In other words, one's cultivation and strength must keep up with the Dao Fruit's metamorphosis.
Otherwise, the Dao Fruit would not complete its transformation.
Rumble—
Every cell seemed to be coursing with arcs of lightning.
Thunder Magnetic Dao Body, a Dao Fruit physique, transformed into an even more formidable state. Li Che felt as if he had truly mastered lightning.
His Martial Immortal Golden Body and Thunder Magnetic Dao Body did not conflict with each other; instead, they achieved perfect harmony.
This unique combination brought him a different kind of metamorphosis.
Two Dao Fruits had shaped his extraordinary flesh.
Li Che's eyes gleamed with a faint light, and he raised his head high, as if witnessing the darkness of the night being dispelled, countless dark clouds retreating from above the Golden Light Mansion, revealing the first golden ray of dawn.
[Dao Fruit Level 7, Fifth Metamorphosis, Dao Induction (Thunder Magnetic Extreme Pressure) Promotion, Dao Tribulation (Primordial Shattering Star Thunder)]
Zzzzz—
It was as if dark golden lightning, accompanied by the writhing path of dragons, emitted a piercing sound as it burst forth, jumping and surging around his body, causing the surrounding air to constantly shatter.
A terrifying force containing an extremely pure aura of destruction descended with a boom, as if to annihilate everything and shatter all creation! Shattering Star Thunder! The thunder that shatters stars!
The seventh tribulation!
Li Che's eyes seemed to be enveloped in dark gold, and his five fingers clenched into a fist. The terrifying power of Shattering Star Thunder erupted in his palm, and that dreadful explosive force gave him the sensation of everything bursting apart.
Li Che even inexplicably felt as if he could destroy everything!
[Dao Tribulation (Primordial Shattering Star Thunder): Induce Dao Tribulation, Primordial Heaven and Earth, Primordial Thunder Tribulation, Shatter Darkness]
With thunder, shatter the darkness!
Primordial Thunder Tribulation!
Gold, wood, water, fire, wind, space, thunder! The seventh primordial tribulation!
Li Che's heart pounded fiercely and vigorously, and his black robe fluttered in the mountain breeze.
He suppressed the urge to enter the Dao Tribulation space and face the seventh tribulation.
His gaze swept across the surroundings, and he could sense the presence of powerful beings hiding hundreds of zhang away from Ancestral Dragon Island, watching in awe.
Even from the eerie temple of the Third Prince, terrifying gazes projected towards him, carrying powerful and dreadful willpower that seemed to penetrate the barriers between the temple and the mortal realm, showering down upon him.
These gazes were fixed on Li Che.
Li Che had achieved his initial goal, taking custody of his daughter and becoming the center of attention.
This way, Xi Xi, the daughter of the Prison Lotus, would face fewer gazes and stares, no longer the target of everyone's attention.
Li Che's initial purpose had been accomplished.
In fact, Li Che did not take long to complete the metamorphosis of his Dao Fruit.
As a result, many people's astonished expressions remained, and Li Che's gaze swept across them before he raised his head to look at the Nine Heavens Xuan Lei Golden Vajra Ring above.
Although it withstood the powerful Nine Heavens Xuan Lei, the power contained within the Nine Heavens Xuan Lei Golden Vajra Ring continued to intertwine and spread, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
Buzzing—
That was the sound of the Golden Vajra Ring vibrating. This mythical weapon, belonging to the temple of the Third Prince, was reacting intensely at this moment.
Perhaps the divine aura within it had been stimulated and awakened, or maybe it had calmed down and sensed the presence of the Third Prince's temple just a few hundred li away, so it began to stir restlessly, longing to return to the hands of the divine being.
Li Che, however, was thinking...
How could he help his daughter obtain this mythical weapon?
Returning it to the divine being was out of the question. For Xi Xi, the most important thing was to gather the complete set of mythical weapons to unleash the divine aura within them and block the curse of the Prison Lotus.
Li Che thought for a moment, then suddenly waved his hands, causing his embroidered golden lotus robe to flutter in the wind as he took a step into the void.
In an instant, he shot up like a cannonball, appearing before the Nine Heavens Xuan Lei Golden Vajra Ring.
Rumble—
The Nine Heavens Xuan Lei Golden Vajra Ring continued to release divine aura.
It was like a mischievous child, angrily smashing the surrounding space, having just awakened to find itself imprisoned, filled with rage!
The powerful force swept through the void, causing the air to shatter continuously, and the divine might surged relentlessly.
Li Che hovered in the air beneath the Xuanlei Vajra Cosmic Ring, his gaze intense as his jet-black, robust hair whipped fiercely.
He hesitated, contemplating whether to summon Xixi from the depths of the Ink City and Underworld at this very moment, allowing her to attempt to claim this divine weapon.
But in the end, he decided it was worth a try.
Li Che understood that Xixi's fusion of soldiers and refinement of her physical body had reached a critical juncture, and it was crucial for her to acquire this divine weapon—the final piece of the Three Princes Temple God's armor set, of utmost importance.
So, Li Che decided to give it a shot.
With a thought, Xixi, protected by Gu Changqing, Gu Yinxuan, and others in the Ink City and Underworld, suddenly opened her eyes.
She witnessed countless ink-colored raindrops intertwining and gathering before her, slowly forming the shape of Li Che.
It was the Ink City and Underworld's dominant clone, come to guide Xixi out of the Ink City.
"Daddy!" Xixi's eyes lit up.
In truth, Xixi possessed acute perception, and at times, the Li Che by her side was not the real Li Che but merely a clone.
Li Che's painting clone could deceive many, but not Xixi.
Because Xixi...
Was the only one in the world with Li Che's bloodline flowing through her veins.
And the dominant clone was different.
Xixi sensed her father's aura in the dominant clone.
Among Li Che's numerous clones, only the dominant one could truly mimic the real thing.
"Daddy, Xixi has grown so much stronger! Look, Xixi has refined the essence of countless human pills, it's extraordinary!" Xixi exclaimed excitedly.
"There's an abundance of divine essence flowing from the divine weapon, helping Xixi strengthen her physical body while also enhancing her divine cultivation!"
Li Che smiled and ruffled Xixi's hair. "Well done."
Then, with a thought, he led Xixi out of the Ink City and Underworld.
Due to the dizzying sensation of entering and exiting the Ink City and Underworld, Li Che always personally escorted Xixi with care.
Xixi opened her eyes, her thick eyelashes fluttering, and her eyes shone brightly.
Whoosh!
A dense, bloody aura swept over them.
Xixi knew the battle had concluded, and it seemed her father had emerged victorious!
Yay! Daddy was indeed the most powerful! Xixi felt proud, as she should be, being the daughter of Emperor Xixi.
Li Che watched Xixi inexplicably swell with pride and ruffled her hair.
