Chapter 507: Dialogue with the Dao Fruit Master, the Martial Heart's Three Questions, and the Underworld Gang's Return to Slay the Gods (Part 2)
What is a Dao Boat?
Li Che felt as if his physical body's qi and blood were about to burst out of his body, coalescing into a golden figure. This figure seemed ready to take a step, boarding the solitary boat.
It was a golden solitary boat forged from the intertwining of qi and blood, combined with the Primordial Fire Tribulation Great Dao Immortal Engraving.
[Dao Boat: The essence of heaven and earth, the Great Dao River, a boat for the Dao, seeking the truth above and below]
The sixth transformation of the Dao Fruit, the Dao Boat emerged, accompanied by a true statement that slowly appeared before his eyes.
Li Che pondered for a moment and suddenly understood what a Dao Boat was.
By refining the Primordial Chaos to perfection and inscribing the Great Dao Immortal Engraving, one could forge a Dao Boat, glimpse the essence of heaven and earth, and see the Great Dao River. Boarding the Dao Boat, one could explore the river, seeking the truth of the rules!
"So this is the Dao Boat, revealing the essence of the Great Dao, navigating the Great Dao River manifested by the Cosmic Will..."
"So that's how it is!"
Li Che was enlightened.
He took a step, and the golden qi and blood figure he had condensed stepped onto the solitary boat.
Rumbling—
At that moment, Li Che raised his head, and the shadow of the Great Dao River in the sky vanished, leaving only an immensely wide river!
The Great Dao River!
Boom—!!!
The solitary boat shot into the sky, as if breaking through the constraints of time and space, colliding with the river.
Rushing—
On the Great Dao River, countless impacts of qi and blood continuously struck the Dao Boat...
Li Che felt his mind reverberate, finding it extremely difficult to ride the waves and break through!
Boom—!
A figure appeared on the Great Dao River, transforming into a golden shadow. With deep, profound eyes, it clenched its fist and struck at Li Che on the golden Dao Boat.
Li Che's entire body resonated, and he charged forward, engaging in a fierce battle with the opponent.
However, the outcome was unexpected.
He failed to defeat the opponent and was hammered to pieces, capsizing and falling out of the Great Dao River.
Huff, huff, huff—
Li Che opened his eyes in resignation.
"I've capsized..."
"Indeed, it seems I still have a long way to go before I can navigate the Great Dao River..."
Li Che recalled the golden shadow, whose martial arts were extremely solid, with precise and meticulous techniques, like a steadfast martial artist with a solid foundation.
In the battle, Li Che's foundation had some vulnerabilities, which the opponent had seized upon, leading to a powerful defeat.
In the past, Li Che had always believed his martial foundation was solid.
But now he realized it had many shortcomings.
Before him, golden light reappeared.
[Dao Boat: Navigating the Great Dao, ferrying the Dao soul (0%)]...
...
Li Che exhaled.
Ferrying the Dao soul...
That golden shadow must be the Dao soul that left a trace on the Great Dao River!
To leave a mark on the Great Dao River, one must be an extraordinary figure, a peerless martial artist who has left their mark in the world!
Li Che's heart swelled with enthusiasm.
But soon, his enthusiasm waned...
Ferrying the Dao soul... Does it mean that such a powerful existence has already perished?
Li Che fell silent.
He recalled the conversation with the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit Master, who had guided him to listen to the path of the Dao.
"The path of the Martial Immortal... a long and arduous journey, with three questions of the heart... how many heroes have capsized and perished without even making a splash?"
Li Che slowly stood up from the gradually repaired ground of the Inner City.
He recalled the Dao Fruit Master's understanding and exposition of martial arts.
"The path of the Martial Immortal begins with the Human Immortal, condensing the Great Dao Immortal Engraving, forging the Immortal Platform, and igniting the Primordial Yang Immortal Fire. With the Immortal Fire ever-burning, one can ascend to the realm of the Profound Immortal..."
"After the Profound Immortal, one becomes a Celestial Immortal, roaming the Great Dao River and mastering the rules of heaven and earth!"
Li Che's eyes were filled with a deep, profound light.
According to the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit Master's description, a Celestial Immortal was comparable to an immortal divine being!
Rushing—
With each step, the rubble crumbled to dust.
Li Che's eyes were filled with a deep, profound light.
He reviewed his own martial arts, comparing them to the Dao Fruit Master's descriptions...
Now, he was nearing the end of the Martial Immortal realm. After all, he had successfully condensed the Great Dao Immortal Engraving, and the only thing left to become a Profound Immortal was to forge the Immortal Platform.
As for how to forge the Immortal Platform, Li Che had created the first version of the Eight-Nine Profound Art by listening to the Dao Fruit Master's martial insights and combining the secret techniques of the Eight Wonders Immortal Seed with the Nine Tribulations of the Primordial.
Further enhancements and improvements would come through practice.
Boom—!!!
His body trembled, and the feedback from the sixth transformation of the Dao Fruit surged into his body.
Li Che's qi and blood rapidly grew and strengthened!
The sudden surge of qi and blood allowed him to condense a second Immortal Engraving!
A purple Primordial Immortal Engraving, like intricate patterns, woven onto his body, exquisitely beautiful!
Roar—!!!
The great dragon in his spine roared, and the qi and blood vortex swirled brilliantly!
Tremendous power surged from within his body, like a storm brewing, with the force of mountains being moved and seas filled!
Li Che could feel that he was now stronger than ever!
Before him, golden light flickered and intertwined.
[Eight-Nine Profound Art: Martial Immortal Golden Body (70%)]
However, the original Dao guidance prompt had changed. The Dragon-Elephant Fusion Furnace had transformed into the name of the Eight-Nine Mystic Art!
Li Che wasn’t too concerned about the details of this transformation.
Perhaps it was because this self-created cultivation technique had finally reached a significant level in the martial path, triggering its own evolution upon completion.
"Martial Immortal Golden Body is 70% complete; it’s getting closer to perfection..."
"Perhaps once I establish the Immortal Platform and enter the Mystic Immortal Realm, I can perfect the Martial Immortal Golden Body!"
Li Che couldn’t help but feel a surge of anticipation in his eyes.
...
...
The inner city of Qitian had been breached.
The three Supreme Beings of the Gods’ faction were all slaughtered. Following the fall of Tianlang Supreme, Xuanzhen Supreme and Kalu Supreme also met their ends.
The heavens displayed strange phenomena in response to their demise.
Many people looked up, as if they could see the chains of the Great Dao Order intertwining, with endless wails of sorrow emanating from the inner city of Qitian.
Inside the city, ghostly mists rose, becoming increasingly terrifying. All perceptions were blocked by an invisible power.
Even the great cultivators who had survived the divine tribulation could not detect anything within.
Meanwhile.
News from Jinggong City also reached Qitian City.
"Qianyuan Divine Sect’s elder Li Che is the Underworld Ghost Emperor, a Martial Immortal!"
This news came like a storm.
It completely overshadowed the major news of the three Supremes’ fall. Everyone was stunned, but many martial warriors quickly became fervent.
Because this was good news: the Martial Immortal hadn’t fallen to the exhaustion of his blood and qi but had instead re-emerged with renewed vigor in Jinggong Prefecture!
Jinggong Prefecture, due to the Three Princes Ghost Temple, had now become the center of the storm.
Although Li Che being a Martial Immortal was astonishing, the martial warriors were no longer concerned about his identity. They were only fervently and reverently following his actions!
Buzzing sounds filled the air.
Li Che’s black robe billowed, and his strong black hair cut through the void like a blade.
His body was crystal clear, and when not triggered, it shone with a brilliant light. He naturally sensed the situation in the outer city of Qitian.
Outside the inner city walls.
Many martial warriors sat in reverence, like worshippers, at the base of the walls.
Their fervor and reverence almost overflowed into the heavens.
Li Che felt a sense of connection, a gathering of intentions, much like the collective consciousness of the Buddhist monks.
Li Che shook his head lightly. He was a Martial Immortal, cultivating the martial path, focusing on his own body!
He relied on himself, needing no external support!
Taking a step, he plunged directly into the void.
Reappearing, he was already in Mocheng Fengdu.
Two chunks of flesh floated in the air, the remains of Xuanzhen and Kalu Supremes. Li Che immediately activated the Bound Deities.
The Bound Deities of the two Supremes were quickly captured from the Netherworld!
The Netherworld trembled, and a storm erupted.
But Li Che, in his current state, remained unperturbed by the storm.
Xuanzhen and Kalu opened their eyes, looking at Li Che with complex expressions.
They had ultimately fallen before the exhausted Ghost Emperor!
"Your servant greets the master!"
The two Supremes bowed and knelt, their hearts filled with complete devotion.
Li Che nodded slightly, and with a thought, he used the Dao Fruit of the Time-Space Golden Wheel to open the spatial dimensions within the Bound Deities of the two Supremes!
Li Che fed the three leaves of Dao Essence Spirit Crystals he obtained to the transformed meat ball, Huang Jian Jiu.
The pressure within the meat ball grew increasingly powerful. Li Che had a hunch that when Old Huang broke out of the meat ball, he would likely become a deity immediately!
Yes, that’s good, continue feeding!
What were Dao Essence Spirit Crystals, anyway?
Li Che was confident he would obtain more and more!
Like the Young Dragon Emperor on Ancestral Dragon Island, his treasures included many valuable Dao Essence Spirit Crystals, and Li Che even sensed the presence of four-leaf Dao Essence Spirit Crystals!
Even a Divine Being like the Young Dragon Emperor needed four-leaf Dao Essence Spirit Crystals to restore his power...
Feeding Old Huang with these, to transform him into a Divine Being, would be no difficult task.
Buzz!
Fang Hanshu appeared gracefully, his scholar’s robe fluttering, and his beard swaying.
He stood beside Li Che and briefly described the final use of the Bound Deities of the many dead strongmen from the inner city of Qitian.
Li Che nodded, his gaze sweeping over the scene.
He saw You Liqing and Qingniao undergoing painful transformations in the city of Mo.
Taking a step, he moved at a speed that surpassed the air currents, appearing before You Liqing and Qingniao.
Raising his hand, he touched their foreheads, imparting his understanding of the Demon Python Spear and the Blood Phoenix Withering and Flourishing Arrow to them.
Their pain eased, and the speed at which they consumed other Bound Deities increased.
After doing this, Li Che took another step and appeared on the Sovereign Tower.
Xixi sat cross-legged, surrounded by countless ink rains.
She opened her eyes and looked at Li Che.
The Prison Lotus symbol on her forehead burned like a flame!
Her skin remained crimson, and the transformation within her was not yet complete, but her overall aura and cultivation had significantly improved.
The Divine Being Suit had brought her unprecedented growth!
In just ten days!
Martial Sage, fourth stage!
Peak level!
And her divine cultivation was nearing the point of transforming into a Divine Embryo!
This enhancement...
Is truly astonishing!
Li Che exhaled, feeling as if he had just activated a cheat. Even Li Che, who was already a powerhouse, couldn’t help but find it absurd.
However, the great eruption from fusing the Divine Weapon and tempering his body had now settled, and what followed would be a subtle and gradual transformation.
Even this subtle and gradual transformation was faster than diligent cultivation.
Of course, Li Che was still more concerned about Xi Xi’s divine cultivation...
"She’s almost at the Divine Embryo stage..."
Li Che furrowed his brow slightly.
The Yulan Curse within Xi Xi’s body would erupt again when she reached the Divine Embryo stage!
It was uncertain whether Xi Xi’s current physical strength could withstand the power of the Yulan Curse!
"Daddy!"
Xi Xi’s long eyelashes trembled with excitement as she stood up.
She clenched her small fists and punched the air.
A rushing sound, as if the air itself had exploded!
Li Che came to his senses and couldn’t help but laugh.
Xi Xi took a step forward, and the floor of the Sovereign Tower cracked and sank under her feet...
Xi Xi truly couldn’t control the sudden surge of power.
Seeing Xi Xi’s wide-eyed and bewildered expression, Li Che chuckled and gently rubbed her head, helping her familiarize herself with her newfound power. The sooner she mastered it, the better she would be able to handle the Yulan Curse when she transformed into a Divine Embryo.
Moreover...
Li Che’s mind stirred slightly.
He sensed the situation in Jinggong Prefecture.
Ten days had passed.
The process of the Three Princes Ghost Temple transforming into the Three Purities Temple was almost complete!
Jinggong Prefecture had already become a ghost town, and the Strange Abyss had spread from the Nine Dragon River to the walls of Jinggong Prefecture. The final fusion was about to begin...
Once Jinggong Prefecture was swallowed by the Strange Abyss and merged with the temple, it would permanently exist in the human world, signifying that this Four Realms Ghost Temple would officially transform into a Three Purities Ghost Temple!
Li Che no longer lingered in Mocheng Fengdu.
Before the Three Princes Ghost Temple fully recovered, Li Che had important matters to attend to.
Time was of the essence!
...
...
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
The void warped, and a piece of chess, emitting a soft white glow, floated up from it.
It was the Thunder Chess Piece.
Rising from the city walls of Jinggong City, it was clasped in a hand, and Li Che, his black robes fluttering, stepped out of Mocheng Fengdu.
Li Che’s black hair danced in the wind, and his gaze fell upon the terrifying ghostly aura before him, which was surging and rumbling!
The entire city seemed to be facing a vast sea of fog, with no clear direction, and all paths were blocked!
The entire Jinggong Prefecture appeared to be surrounded by the ghostly aura!
The ghostly aura seemed to extend tendrils, touching the ancient walls of Jinggong City.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—
With each touch, the walls seemed to be corroded, forming holes. But after the corrosion, the walls appeared to be Strange Abyss-ified.
"The fusion has begun..."
"The final step in the transformation from the Four Sovereigns to the Three Purities."
"The Strange Abyss is establishing an anchor point in the human world!"
Sometimes, Li Che felt that the ghost temples were essentially the Strange Abyss corroding the human world. In the end, the Strange Abyss would completely devour the human world, transforming it into an endless, lifeless Strange Abyss...
Facing the tidal wave of ghostly aura, the tiny Li Che exhaled softly.
In the next moment,
He snapped his finger.
Bound Deity chess pieces swelled and twisted around him, gradually transforming into figures.
Fang Hanshu, Xuanzhen, and Kalu, the three Supremes, stood there, wearing masks symbolizing their identities as Underworld heroes.
Next, there was the Nine-headed Sea Beast and the Fenxu Houdou, both of which had consumed the dragon souls of Ancestral Dragon Island and finally transformed into Supreme-level beings.
Including the Fenxu Houdou transformed by Tianlang Supreme, there were now five Supreme-level combatants!
Jinggong City was shaking violently, and the Cosmic Will seemed to sense the terrifying blood-red intertwining!
But in the next moment,
Li Che’s gaze lifted, as if tearing through the ghostly aura, and he saw the Nine Dragon River, where a massive wave was surging from Ancestral Dragon Island.
And there, sitting cross-legged on Ancestral Dragon Island, was the Young Dragon Emperor, releasing the pressure of a Divine Being, waiting for the Third Prince’s Temple God to be reborn...
Li Che smiled lightly.
He clenched his fingers, and the next moment, the adorable cow mask fell into his hand, which he pressed to his face.
The Underworld team was on the move again!
Heroes, let’s go slay the gods!
