Chapter 522: The Quadrifoliate Essence Crystal Feeds Old Huang to Immortality, Stealthily Learning the Heaven and Earth Ancient Seal and Wielding the Heavenly Guillotine (Part 2)
Suddenly, Li Che's eyes snapped open.
In his chest, the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit pulsed violently.
A trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
"That Heavenly Guillotine..."
In Li Che's mind, the image of the Heavenly Guillotine, activated by the boss, with nine ancient runes interwoven, surfaced.
The nine ancient runes shone brightly on the guillotine, making it immensely powerful. It slashed down with unparalleled force, unstoppable and invincible.
Even the powerful forces that had emerged, using the bronze pot to stew the three immortal wills together and lifting a terrifying power, could not withstand the fearsome power of the Heavenly Guillotine...
At that moment, Li Che was awestruck, wishing he could transform the Heavenly Guillotine into a martial technique!
If he could master such a technique, Li Che could not imagine how powerful he would become!
Whoever comes, dies!
But as he recalled now, he could not remember a single detail, as if it had been completely erased from his mind!
He knew there were nine ancient runes, but he could not recall even one, their shapes seemingly forgotten.
"I can't remember..."
Li Che's brows furrowed.
Sitting atop the city tower of Golden Light City, the cold wind rustled around him.
"I want to remember! Transform the Heavenly Guillotine into a martial technique and guide it into my final Wondrous Gate! Achieve the Eight Wondrous Gates Immortal Seed... I am no longer a Martial Immortal, nor a Wondrous Gate Immortal Seed. I have returned to the ranks of the divine, but due to the expansion of the Immortal Seed, my divine nature is more profound than ever!"
"However, I can still try to master the Heavenly Guillotine..."
Divine thoughts swirled wildly, and Li Che lifted his head. The chessboard of heaven and earth suddenly spread out, and the Chess Sage Dao Fruit was vigorously activated by Li Che, as if isolating everything, even the influence of the heavens.
In his chest, the Dao Fruit pulsed, and the enlightenment feedback from the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, gained in the great battle, was thoroughly triggered at this moment!
Blocking out the perception of heaven and earth!
Concealing the divine will!
Stealing from the heavens!
Boom—!!!
Li Che's eyes emitted a brilliant golden light, like a golden mist rolling in, and his martial talent was elevated to an extremely terrifying level.
With the Chess Sage Dao Fruit shielding the divine will,
he began to recall and comprehend the nine ancient runes...
Suddenly, a shiver of coldness spread down his spine, and in his mind, he recalled the terrifying scene of the Heavenly Guillotine cutting through the bronze pot...
As if he had inadvertently touched upon a terrifying existence, if not for the Chess Sage Dao Fruit trembling and shielding the divine will, suppressing the signs of discovery, Li Che might have faced a great crisis!
Time seemed to slow down, and Li Che, sitting atop the city tower, lost track of the passage of time, completely immersed in enlightenment, as if he were comprehending the way, using the enlightenment feedback to sketch the ancient runes on the guillotine!
The gods did not disappear; seeing Li Che in cultivation, they did not know what to do and simply sat around the Golden Light City, guarding Li Che and suppressing any probing forces.
Powerful divine auras rolled out, their divine might vast, making the Golden Light City in the Strange Abyss of the mortal world seem like a forbidden zone.
Many Supremes and Venerables, standing hundreds of miles away in the misty, eerie fog, were deterred by the divine might, their hearts trembling with fear, and dared not approach.
In the Strange Abyss of the mortal world, there were other revived gods.
However, with the battle already concluded and the Third Prince and the Lotus Prison Daughter having entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths,
there was no need for these revived gods to take action.
Mainly because the battle had been too brutal.
Frequent falls of gods, all nine of the gods who had been mobilized had perished...
Buzz—buzz—buzz—
In the Golden Light City, the city that had been split in two by the Heavenly Guillotine slowly began to recover under the influence of the Strange Abyss power.
The city suddenly rumbled, as if ancient scriptures were resonating, the ancient rules transforming into light and inscribing ancient patterns and texts!
Li Che's entire body trembled as divine power surged within him. The Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit began to vibrate, and enlightenment power gushed forth continuously!
He didn't know how long it had been, but after exhausting all his enlightenment power, Li Che finally succeeded in tracing an ancient symbol!
The symbol resonated and vibrated as if it were producing a sound of its own!
Innumerable divine engravings intertwined around him, and waves of divine power surged, vast and overwhelming!
Li Che was completely engrossed, feeling an indescribable sense of wonder. The ancient symbol was extremely simple, created from the most basic elements, yet it depicted an incredibly complex power!
It even brought about a significant transformation in his understanding of martial arts, altering his martial philosophy—simplicity is the essence of the Dao!
The ancient symbol glowed brightly, hovering above Li Che's head. Slowly, it began to disintegrate, scattering into countless points of light, like particles and arcs.
Boom—!!
Li Che suddenly opened his eyes, and the detailed insights into particles and arcs instantly dissipated.
His enlightenment power was completely drained, and the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit fell silent.
Li Che felt a tinge of regret.
"I only managed to trace one ancient symbol."
"But that's my limit."
Li Che exhaled, then stood up abruptly. The deities who had been guarding him opened their eyes and looked at him.
The Young Dragon Emperor, Su Da, the Triple-Transforming Toad, and other powerful divine beings felt a slight tremor in their hearts, their eyes filled with astonishment as they looked at Li Che.
For they discovered that Li Che was emitting a terrifying "heavenly authority"!
At that moment, it seemed as if Li Che had transformed the heavens, becoming a celestial blade that cut through the world with wrathful force!
The Young Dragon Emperor's body trembled slightly. He was all too familiar with this feeling.
After all, he had been slain by the Heavenly Guillotine!
Li Che stood up, his heart still trembling, but he continued to sense and understand.
He needed to complete the last of the Eight Marvelous Door Immortal Techniques!
Even though he had yet to fully transform back into a martial immortal, it didn't stop him from preparing the final Immortal Technique.
Moreover, this martial technique could be converted into a divine secret art!
For everything was an evolution of the Dao!
Rumble—
A vast wave of power spread from his physical body, causing the universe to tremble, and ripples appeared in the void.
Li Che gazed into the void, feeling the terrifying and vast power spreading out, immense and extraordinary.
It was a mastery of fields, trends, and might.
The so-called Heavenly Guillotine was, in fact, a utilization of the Dao and its trends!
The blurry and ancient symbol behind Li Che seemed to rise like a radiant sun over a vast ocean, emitting countless brilliant rays of light, like the golden rays of a sunbird piercing through the Four Seas and the Eight Desolations!
Boom—!!
Li Che's foot touched down.
Instantly, the entire city wall crumbled into countless pieces of dust!
In reality, Li Che had wanted to control his power, but he couldn't. It was the manifestation of the Dao's might contained within the ancient symbol!
In that moment, Li Che transformed into a blade!
Compressed to the extreme, flattened, he became as thin as paper, rising up into the sky with a resounding sound, the ancient symbol engraved in the blade's light, cutting down with formidable force!
It was as if the Heavenly Guillotine had reappeared, deceiving the heavens and manifesting in the mortal world!
The void was instantly split open by a massive crack that took a long time to heal, with endless void churning behind it!
Li Che's body instantly filled with divine power, which seemed to drain almost instantly, leaving his blood and qi exhausted. He panted heavily, landing in the ruins of the city wall. The core of his physical body was helping him recover his energy and blood.
"Heavenly Guillotine?!"
From a distance, exclamations of shock echoed!
The Young Dragon Emperor, Su Da, the Triple-Transforming Toad, and other divine beings were utterly astonished. Lightning seemed to flash through their hearts, shocking the world, and their souls trembled with disbelief!
How could a human manifest the Heavenly Guillotine?
Although Li Che's manifestation of the Heavenly Guillotine couldn't compare to the real thing in terms of power, the gap was immense.
But this technique…
Was incomprehensible!
It was as if an impossible path had been trodden and successfully traversed!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The Young Dragon Emperor, Su Da, and other divine beings flew over, looking at Li Che with fervent respect.
Especially Su Da, who, after a brief adjustment, had fully accepted the idea of becoming Li Che's servant.
Who else's servant could she be?
Even in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, even if she had once been a powerful divine being at the Dao Severing realm, she was still a servant of an immortal divine being!
Faced with an immortal's will, she had no choice.
Only by becoming a reborn divine being could she break free from the immortal's will and control her own divine life.
"Congratulations to the Lord, congratulations to the Lord, your divine art has reached perfection, wielding the blade of heaven and earth!"
Su Da swayed her body, smiling seductively, her nine fox tails flailing wildly behind her.
Li Che let out a breath, feeling his power gradually returning.
His mood was indeed very good.
By borrowing the insights gained from enlightenment, he secretly learned from the heavens and earth, successfully engraving the ancient runes on the Heavenly Guillotine. He had now mastered the Heavenly Guillotine technique.
"This move can be both a martial art and a divine secret technique... It harnesses the might of heaven and earth, delivering a terrifying slash that is supremely domineering."
"I shall name it... the Nine Symbols Heaven and Earth Slash."
"If I can comprehend the nine ancient runes, could I reach the terrifying power of the Heavenly Guillotine, which can effortlessly sever the will of immortals?"
Li Che was quite eager about this secret technique he had created by learning from the heavens and earth. He felt reassured that this technique would become one of his trump cards for future battles in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
"Lord, this move is a double-edged sword, both hurting the enemy and yourself."
The Young Dragon Emperor said.
Su Da had also wanted to speak, but the Young Dragon Emperor beat her to it, causing her to glare at him in dissatisfaction.
"Lord, this slash mimics the Heavenly Guillotine, containing the might of heaven and earth. Once it is revealed, it will surely be sensed by the Cosmic Will. Heaven and earth will be enraged by your mimicry and will inevitably punish you with backlash. Therefore, it should not be used lightly."
"Unless Lord can find a way to shield the Cosmic Will..."
As Su Da spoke, her voice gradually softened. Li Che had just demonstrated this move, and it hadn't provoked the Cosmic Will's anger.
Hmm?
Su Da raised her head and saw the celestial chessboard, which seemed to be arranged like stars in the sky.
What kind of power was this that could shield the Cosmic Will?
Li Che truly harbored countless secrets.
No wonder he could help the daughter of the Lotus Prison alter her destiny in this divine wave, even forcing many immortal deities to descend their power to try to readjust her fate!
Li Che also smiled.
"The celestial chessboard..."
Li Che narrowed his eyes, concealing the heavens and earth.
When Li Che was weak, he used the celestial chessboard to carry out open assassinations.
This was a crucial tool that had accompanied Li Che from his humble beginnings to his current strength.
"Now, the Chess Sage Dao Fruit has yet to complete its six transformations. If it were to complete them, the shielding power would be even stronger..."
"Fortunately, I have only comprehended one ancient rune. If I had engraved two, it would have been immediately detected."
Li Che exhaled softly.
"With the power of the celestial chessboard... perhaps I don't need the power of destiny, or even to reascend as a Martial Immortal, to return to the mortal world openly?"
This thought suddenly sprang to mind.
Once the idea formed, Li Che decided to act immediately.
Amid the stunned gazes of the Young Dragon Emperor, Su Da, and others, Li Che took a step forward, his black robes fluttering, and his dark, sturdy hair whipping like black lightning.
He walked out of the Golden Light City.
The Golden Light City had been transformed into the Strange Grotto's range by the Third Prince's Mysterious Temple.
As soon as Li Che stepped out of the city, he would leave the Strange Grotto.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Mysterious fog rose into the sky, forming a barrier like a curtain, standing straight and cutting off the path.
Su Da, the Young Dragon Emperor, the Triple-Transforming Toad, and other deities followed closely.
"Lord is planning to try and return to the mortal world?"
Su Da, with her quick wit, immediately understood Li Che's intentions.
The eyes of the Young Dragon Emperor, the Triple-Transforming Toad, and other deities lit up, thinking of Li Che's method to shield the Cosmic Will.
Can it work?
If it works... does it mean that they, as deities, can also step into the mortal world, as long as they stay by Li Che's side and walk freely?
Will it work?
Li Che's hair fluttered as he gazed beyond the misty barrier, seeing the surging Nine Dragon River.
He also saw many familiar faces waiting outside the Nine Dragon River.
Nan Lihuo, Feng Zhiji, Zhao Fangzhou, and other powerful figures stood by the river, their faces filled with dejection and melancholy, staring at the ebb and flow of the river as if remembering Li Che.
Seeing them, Li Che knew that the news of his transformation from a Martial Immortal to a Daoist Immortal in Golden Light City had already spread.
Li Che's heart trembled slightly.
He wondered how his wife, Zhang Ya, would feel upon learning that he could not return to the mortal world?
Li Che exhaled.
No more hesitation.
His body leaned forward.
His hands plunged into the mysterious fog. Despite its apparent thinness, the fog exerted an enormous weight, blocking Li Che's return to the mortal world!
"Ugh—!!"
Li Che's powerful physical body roared, his veins bulging like writhing dragons, tearing the fog apart with sheer force!
Boom—!!
In an instant.
The divine aura within his body, which had been restrained, burst forth uncontrollably!
He tore through the fog and, with his divine body, took a step...
Toward the mortal world!
