Chapter 526: Immortal Craftsmanship Fuses Ancient Symbols to Create an Eternal Mechanism, the Golden Sun Phoenix Dominates the Imperial Capital, the Emperor Kneels (Part 2)
Li Che's eyes lit up.
"It actually merged with the 'Struggle' character mechanical seal!"
In his chest, the long-dormant Immortal Art Dao Fruit began to vibrate intensely...
As the ancient rune and the mechanical seal slowly merged, the Immortal Art Dao Fruit seemed to absorb the power of heaven and earth, pulsating violently!
Before his eyes, the maturity of the Immortal Art Dao Fruit began to increase at an observable rate!
After reaching Level 7, the Immortal Art Dao Fruit's maturity had become extremely difficult and slow to increase, even though Li Che still persisted in carving divine carvings daily, the feedback was not significant.
However, unexpectedly, this sudden idea of Li Che's greatly enhanced the Immortal Art Dao Fruit!
"Can the Nine Divine Mechanism Seals and the Nine Heaven Runes perfectly merge?!"
Li Che took a deep breath.
Feeling the 'Struggle' character rune slowly forming as the ancient heaven rune and the mechanical seal merged, he moved his mind.
Li Che snapped his finger.
Instantly, a stream of light shot out!
In an instant, a colossal, mountain-like All-Heaven Armored Ape appeared!
The All-Heaven Armored Ape was a secret that Tang Sanjia had always kept, a divine realm mechanical beast developed by the Tang family through their exhaustive research!
It possessed the power of the Divine Tribulation Realm...
But that was all.
For Li Che, it offered little help, as a typical Divine Tribulation could be easily destroyed by him.
Thus, the mechanical armor became a marginal asset.
Even if Li Che replaced all the mechanical seals on the armor with the Nine Divine Mechanism Seals, the improvement was not significant, perhaps reaching the peak of the third tribulation.
"But if I can merge the 'Struggle' character rune, which has fused with the ancient heaven rune, with the mechanical armor..."
"Perhaps it could be unprecedentedly enhanced, reaching the level of a divine being!"
"Because the ancient heaven runes are manifestations of the Cosmic Will..."
Li Che felt the Immortal Art Dao Fruit in his chest resonating brilliantly, his heart surging with excitement!
His eyes gradually sparkled with light.
This idea seemed to be recognized by the Dao Fruit!
It was feasible!
And there was an even more audacious idea forming in Li Che's mind.
"If... If I could fully form and merge all the ancient heaven runes with this All-Heaven Armored Ape, could it..."
"Rival the power of immortality?!"
"An immortal mechanical armor!"
Li Che's eyes shone brightly, and he was filled with an unprecedented fervor for this idea!
Humming—
In his chest, the Immortal Art Dao Fruit, due to the birth and merger of the 'Struggle' character rune, was slowly increasing in maturity.
Li Che's mood instantly improved.
Even though his divine carving skills had reached the level of a semi-immortal, the increase in the Dao Fruit's maturity had been stuck at a bottleneck.
Now, he had found a new path to improvement, which could only be considered fortunate.
"Immortal Art... Divine Art... Perhaps, they are both manifestations of the Cosmic Will."
Li Che's eyes shone brightly, as if he had some enlightenment at that moment.
Li Che's mind slightly moved, and countless ink drops splashed out, transforming into a painting of his divine body, beginning to improve and study the All-Heaven Armored Ape with the 'Struggle' character rune.
On the other side, Li Che began to earnestly research and condense the second ancient rune.
Li Che immediately became busy.
To ensure he had enough strength to compete once he entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Li Che had to work hard to improve himself.
He needed to increase his trump cards!
Fortunately, Li Che's trump cards were so numerous that even immortals couldn't have imagined.
Each Dao Fruit could become one of Li Che's trump cards!
Time ticked by, second by second.
In the Ink City Purgatory.
Torrential ink rain lashed down, pounding the rooftops of Ink City's buildings, creating a misty fog!
Li Che sat cross-legged atop the Sovereign Tower.
Three golden qi vortices spun on his back, generating an incredibly heavy air current, as if even a single strand weighed millions of catties!
This was... Immortal Qi!
During the Primordial Dragon Elephant Tribulation, Li Che had fused the Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant Furnace Immortal Martial Art, extracting a strand of Immortal Qi from the Mystic Immortal Seed!
Now, by fusing the Thousand Mountains Lone Slash with the Sky-Splitting Blade, he had extracted a second strand of Immortal Qi from the Mystic Immortal Seed!
And by fusing the Shattered Southern Heaven, Immortal Furnace, and Treading the Heavens martial arts into the All-Heaven Treading the Heavens Immortal Martial Art, he had extracted a third strand of Immortal Qi during the Primordial Water Tribulation!
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Three strands of Immortal Qi, purple, green, and azure, resonated with the three Immortal Engravings on his body, causing powerful vibrations.
Each strand of Immortal Qi contained an extremely terrifying power of destruction!
Li Che opened his eyes, and the three strands of Immortal Qi danced wildly behind him.
He stood up and took a step forward.
With a thought, a blazing golden True Sun Fire erupted beneath his feet!
The Golden Sun Phoenix let out a piercing cry, as if tearing through the sky!
The Dao Fruit Golden Sun Phoenix Carriage materialized, and Li Che sat within it, emitting a terrifying aura that rumbled and shook the surroundings.
"Now... Out of the nine primordial tribulations, I have mastered seven, with two still unmastered due to the Dao Fruits not having transformed yet."
Li Che sat there, his eyes deep and contemplative.
"The tenth Dao Fruit, the Golden Sun Phoenix Carriage... seems to follow the path of the Primordial Fire Tribulation, but it's somewhat different from the Primordial Dragon Elephant Blaze."
Li Che's eyes flickered, as if he had gained some insight.
The cycle of heaven and earth, the rotation of yin and yang...
Dao Fruits seemed to exist in such a cycle and rotation?
Nine is the ultimate number, completing a cycle?
Each year Xi Xi grows, I gain a Dao Fruit, but after the fifth transformation, the subsequent Dao Fruits will likely not escape the nine primordial tribulations, each belonging to one of the tribulations...
Then, through the transformation of Dao Fruits, continuously enhance the power of the nine primordial tribulations?!
Is it like that?
Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly, lost in thought.
This was just his hypothesis, but it seemed to be the case.
Of course, to verify this hypothesis, he only needed to wait until the Golden Sun Phoenix Carriage achieved its fifth transformation.
The Golden Sun Phoenix Carriage Dao Fruit indeed had a profound impact on Li Che.
It also confirmed his conjecture about the myriad Dao Fruits, but the most powerful aspect of the Golden Sun Phoenix Carriage was likely its ability to amplify pressure.
It was a manifestation of majesty.
Li Che found it quite practical.
Sitting in the golden carriage, pulled by the Golden Sun Phoenix, a radiant glow burst forth, and the ten-foot Phoenix spread its wings, radiating in brilliant splendor!
Li Che, within it, seemed to be enveloped in an unparalleled majesty.
Finally, he felt...
The true majesty of a Dao Fruit Master.
"The Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit is slowly transforming, and the Temporal Golden Wheel Dao Fruit is also transforming by refining the Immortal Lotus Lantern..."
"The Chess Sage Dao Fruit, Immortal in the Painting Dao Fruit, Magnetic Lightning Body, and Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Dao Fruit... these Dao Fruits are all in the fifth transformation stage. How do I achieve the sixth transformation? I have no idea."
Li Che sat in the carriage, and with a thought, he instantly left Ink City.
Reappearing in the sky above Qianyuan Dao City.
The Heaven and Earth Chessboard rotated, shielding the Golden Sun Phoenix Carriage, making it undetectable to everyone.
The Golden Sun Phoenix spread its wings, pulling the golden carriage, streaming with countless rays of light, heading toward the sun, drawing in the essence of the sun.
The Taotie Sun Devouring Cauldron was rapidly absorbing the sun's essence, refining it into True Sun Fire!
This True Sun Fire, which Li Che could summon at any time, was a heaven-defying flame, extremely hot and yang, and incredibly dominant!
The terrifying pressure spread with the Golden Sun Phoenix's wings, distorting the void.
Li Che slowly stood up from the golden carriage, and the Taotie Sun Devouring Cauldron trembled.
"My cultivation hasn't improved much recently, and it's time to settle some scores."
"Having been silent for so long, they must think I'm a weak cat..."
Li Che smiled lightly.
His fingers spread wide, and he gently flicked the Taotie Sun Devouring Cauldron, causing the True Sun Fire to roar and surge.
The Golden Sun Phoenix spread its wings, extending ten feet wide!
Feathers made entirely of light and flame fluttered and danced, like fireworks bursting!
The Golden Sun Phoenix's long cry echoed like a bell splitting the clouds, pulling the carriage, the light wheels turning, rumbling as it galloped into the distance!
Rumble, rumble—
Li Che sat in the golden carriage, his form radiant, the carriage speeding through the sky, trailing a river of flames, leaving a fiery trail in the sky.
After leaving Qianyuan Dao City, Li Che dispelled the Heaven and Earth Chessboard's concealment.
Immediately, the overwhelming pressure erupted, the mountains and rivers shook, and wherever he passed, the mountains, rivers, and lakes glowed with a brilliant golden light. The rocks and plants withered instantly upon contact, only to be reborn with new life!
Above the Grand Canal, the river water hissed and boiled, causing the beasts within to panic and convulse!
The Golden Sun Phoenix Carriage was moving too fast!
It was like a fiery cloud spanning the sky.
Many cultivators in the cities felt an overwhelming pressure, their divine energy stagnating.
Even Martial Sages, who couldn't even mobilize their blood and qi, looked up in sheer terror.
Then, they saw two enormous suns in the sky!
One of the suns rolled forward, as if it were a celestial omen!
"What... is this?!"
A peak Martial Sage in a Dao City muttered.
In the next moment, his blood and qi surged out of his body, urging him to rise into the air and chase after the great sun to glimpse its true form!
However...
He couldn't do it!
He couldn't even fly into the air under the terrifying pressure descending from the sky!
"Who is it?"
"Who is it?!"
Not just this Martial Sage, but many other powerful figures who sensed the anomaly and rushed out, all had bloodshot eyes!
"That direction... it seems to be the capital!"
"Is this great sun heading to the capital?!"
...
...
In the capital.
Second City.
The Octagonal Pagoda of the Celestial Observers!
Fang Shangzhen and Yue Taofu, the two deputy heads of the Celestial Observers, stood by the railing on the ninth floor.
On the roof, the black tiles trembled, and the pearl encircled by the carved flying dragons was emitting an extremely brilliant light...
Fang Shangzhen's loose robes fluttered, and she squinted her eyes, staring at the pearl on the roof, her body trembling slightly.
Yue Taofu's face was filled with shock.
"It seems a great threat is approaching!"
The two exchanged a glance and quickly walked into the ninth-floor hall.
Inside the hall, the space was vast and boundless.
The head of the Celestial Observers sat on the back of a Mystic Turtle, enveloped in a misty, flowing power...
The last time he acted on behalf of Li Che, borrowing the power of heaven and earth to battle a Divine Being, the head of the Celestial Observers also bore a significant burden, as if he had suffered the backlash of the Cosmic Will...
However, this backlash had little effect on him, and he had now mostly recovered.
Suddenly.
The head of the Celestial Observers slowly opened his eyes, his gaze deep and complex.
"Finally... it has come."
The Mystic Turtle, as if in tune with the head of the Celestial Observers, began to step forward.
Carrying the head of the Celestial Observers, it moved out of the pagoda.
Fang Shangzhen and Yue Taofu immediately bowed.
"Head of the Celestial Observers..."
Yue Taofu opened his mouth, wanting to report the anomaly with the dragon pearl.
However, the head of the Celestial Observers waved his hand.
"What must come, will come..."
"Let's go and welcome the... strongest mortal of the present era."
...
...
In the capital, First City.
The Imperial Tomb!
The Emperor of Great Jing sat cross-legged in the Imperial Tomb.
At this moment, the divine aura on his face began to twist, as if it were about to dissipate.
His hair, once black, had turned white, looking withered and old...
After using the Mandate of Great Jing in the Third Prince's Mysterious Temple and being scattered by Li Che, the backlash he suffered was extremely severe.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
The Emperor's breath was weak, as if he were on the brink of death.
In the current Imperial Tomb.
Not only was the Emperor present, but there were also two other figures.
One was the first prince, Lü Yousheng, and the other was the fourth prince, Lü Chi.
Lü Yousheng looked old and weary, his eyes dull, his hands hanging at his waist, and a sword hanging from his belt. He lightly stroked the sword.
He had little interest in entering the Imperial Tomb, as Lü Yousheng knew he was likely... destined to miss out on the position of Crown Prince.
Lü Chi, on the other hand, looked somewhat conflicted. The events in the Golden Light City had also been reported back to the capital.
Xixi...
Entering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Uncle Li... severed the path of the Warrior Immortal, transforming into a Divine Being, and could no longer set foot in the mortal world...
Lü Chi felt very distressed.
Suddenly.
The Emperor, who had been sitting in the Imperial Tomb, suddenly opened his eyes. His divine eyes, once misty, were instantly filled with bloodshot veins.
He suddenly stood up.
His yellow and black robes fluttered as he walked out of the Imperial Tomb, standing on the mountain peak.
He raised his head.
Incredulously, he looked at the sky, where the vast, descending clouds exploded and shattered.
A great sun slowly descended from the clouds.
The sun's radiance gradually dissipated.
Slowly...
A golden phoenix, made of blazing golden flames, emerged, entangled by order chains, pulling a golden carriage.
On the carriage sat a figure, his face also enveloped in divine aura.
"Li Che!"
The Emperor gritted his teeth.
Suddenly.
The figure in the golden carriage.
Slowly lowered his gaze.
"Behold your god."
"Kneel down!"
The authoritative words echoed from the carriage, like the ringing of a divine bell!
The terrifying pressure...
Was magnified tenfold!
It instantly descended like a waterfall, slamming into the Emperor.
The divine mist that had been concealing the Emperor's face exploded, unable to be maintained, revealing a pale and enraged face.
"Ah—!!"
The Emperor roared!
However, facing the pressure, he could not resist. His knees instantly lost their strength and he fell to the ground with a thud, kneeling hard.
