Chapter 528: The Eight Immortal Gates Open, Underworld's Ksitigarbha, and a Future Challenger to Heaven (Part 1)
The emperor's madness was, in fact, perceived by many.
Above the imperial mausoleum, in the sky over the entire divine capital, the Great Jing Ancestor, who was currently battling Li Che, had a Gathering Immortals Flag planted behind his back, shielding him from the Cosmic Will's oppressive force.
Emitting an extremely powerful and terrifying energy, the Great Jing Ancestor, a half-step Fusion with Dao realm powerhouse and the reincarnated body of an Immortal Divine Emperor from the Dark Heavenly Court, was preparing to lay the groundwork for the ninth Divine Tide during the eighth one.
The Great Jing Ancestor was too powerful. As for the emperor's plans, he saw through them with just a glance.
The location of the divine capital was extremely special, situated within the mysterious temple of Xi Wangmu. Behind this temple lay an even more exalted mysterious temple.
This was why the Great Jing Ancestor, after reincarnating, was able to defeat the previous dynasty, which was guarded by a Divine Being, using his mortal body. He gathered the qi of heaven and earth, making Great Jing flourish and supplanting the previous dynasty!
"Knowing that Li Che would come, he bet on Li Che possessing two Gathering Immortals Flags, gathering the third to resonate with the divine presence of the Xi Wangmu temple through the empress as a medium, intending to summon the temple's strongest Divine Armament, the Kunlun Mirror..."
The Great Jing Ancestor's gaze was deep and extremely cold.
Even the ingenious methods devised by his descendants could not stir his emotions.
He was like a Divine Being who had severed all feelings, becoming purely emotionless.
"If I can eliminate Li Che, that would be quite good. Using the power of the Kunlun Mirror to suppress this Li Che, who has brought about so much change in the human world, would truly sever the variable."
The Great Jing Ancestor glanced around.
In the next moment, countless Great Dao engravings trembled, and divine flames leaped from the divine platform!
After all, he was just a reincarnated body, not the true Divine Emperor descending to the mortal world. He could not display the immortal might to easily suppress Li Che and had to rely on his current cultivation.
Boom—!!!
The Great Jing Ancestor took a step forward, his hair seeming to ignite, and his combat intent soared!
He had been stifled for too long in the human world. As the reincarnation of an immortal, he had few rivals after rising to prominence, and no one in the Dark Heavenly Court of the human world could match him.
Now, Li Che was someone who could engage him in battle, which made him quite eager.
Unfortunately, Li Che had not ignited his divine flame, and his strength was still lacking.
Without the divine flame, he was not a Divine Being. The gap was significant, and while he might be able to make up for it compared to other Divine Beings, the difference with true reincarnated immortals and other powerful figures was vast!
Li Che also began to use his full strength, his divine nature surging. He did not reveal his identity as a Martial Immortal and continued to fight using the Divine Path.
Li Che followed the path of the Martial God, his powerful physical body vibrating, divine nature boiling, and merging with every inch of his flesh. With a surge, it burst forth like a thick fog from his pores!
The Great Jing Ancestor's eyes glinted with light as he once again unleashed the Imperial Deity Fist!
Starting with this terrifying martial technique, he executed every move with great impact!
His entire body radiated light, transforming him into a massive sun, constantly revolving!
This was a secret technique he cultivated in the Mysterious Gate!
He transformed into a golden sun, scorching and rolling down!
The sun slowly revolved, accompanied by countless cries of unbearable pressure, as if it had existed for billions of years, slowly approaching from the depths of the starry river, casting an extremely terrifying oppressive force!
In the sun, the Great Jing Ancestor's body glowed, his divine flame burning fiercely, and nine hundred Great Dao engravings resonated, wrapping around his arms as he thrust out his fist.
It was as if an ancient Divine Emperor was angrily striking from the void!
The entire divine capital shook at this moment, with light and divine nature surging like a river, roaring like mountains and rivers, and causing the earth to tremble!
Such power had already reached the limits of what the human world could bear!
This terrifying power had already affected the nine cities of the divine capital.
Countless buildings collapsed, shattered into dust, and turned into ruins. Numerous cultivators fled in a panic.
Fortunately, most of the people in the divine capital were cultivators.
Ordinary people who had not mastered cultivation could not stay in the divine capital and would be driven away.
Thus, when the collapse occurred, the cultivators of the divine capital fled in a panic, managing to save their lives.
Facing the Great Jing Ancestor, who now resembled a blazing sun, Li Che was unperturbed. His spine vibrated, roaring like a dragon, and his divine nature surged, rising step by step!
In response to the Great Jing Ancestor's Imperial Deity Fist, Li Che unleashed various martial techniques!
Roar—!
A dragon's roar shook the heavens as Li Che used the Ancestral Dragon Slaughter Technique, an immortal martial technique he had learned from the Young Dragon Emperor, which he now displayed!
A powerful Ancestral Dragon phantom seemed to emerge, transforming into a claw that sought to shatter the void, colliding fiercely with the Imperial Deity Fist!
However, in the face of the overwhelming force of the Imperial Deity Fist, the Ancestral Dragon phantom that Li Che had conjured was suppressed.
The Grand Supervisor sat atop a mystic turtle, observing this battle alongside other powerful figures like Fang Shangzhen and Yue Taofu.
"Great Jing Ancestor, being the reincarnation of an Immortal Deity from the Dark Heavenly Court, is indeed too powerful. He has already reached the Half-Step Fusion with Dao Realm. Now, with the assistance of the Gathering Immortals Flag, he is virtually invincible in the mortal world."
"Li Che can match an ordinary Divine Flame Realm, but defeating a Half-Step Fusion with Dao is difficult."
The Grand Supervisor sighed softly.
Back then, he had felt that something was off about Great Jing Ancestor. Everything had gone too smoothly for him, and although the previous dynasty had declined somewhat, it still had at least eight hundred years of remaining prosperity before its fall.
However, Great Jing Ancestor had forcefully cut short that prosperity and established the Great Jing Dynasty.
Boom!
In the blazing sun, divine light erupted, and the divine flame burned fiercely!
Great Jing Ancestor, standing tall and proud with his wild hair and flowing dark robes, exuded an unparalleled aura of majesty and dominance.
With just one punch of the Imperial Deity Fist, he unleashed boundless tyranny.
Li Che's eyes blazed with intensity as he countered with the Ancestral Dragon Slaughter Technique, but he was still suppressed. Even though it was a secret technique of the Immortal level, there were still differences in strength and quality.
Of course, this was related to the practitioner's cultivation and proficiency in the technique.
Even with the enhancement from the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, Li Che found it difficult to quickly elevate a secret technique of the Immortal level to its pinnacle state!
As for Great Jing Ancestor, although he was a reincarnation, the Imperial Deity Fist was his own creation. Despite his current cultivation, he could almost reach the pinnacle state of the technique.
Boom!
Li Che and Great Jing Ancestor clashed, causing space to rupture, lightning to flash, and thunder to roar!
Li Che did not immediately concede. He unleashed all the divine essence from his spine, transforming it into the divine essence of a Martial Immortal, which seemed inexhaustible at this moment!
Great Jing Ancestor looked down haughtily, his Imperial Deity Fist sweeping horizontally. In an instant, it seemed they had collided hundreds of times!
Li Che's dark, rugged hair danced wildly, his eyes emitting brilliant golden light, and the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit in his chest roared fiercely.
A bold idea sprang to Li Che's mind.
He decided to learn Great Jing Ancestor's martial arts while fighting him!
The level 8 Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, the Six Sheddings Dao Fruit, was vastly different from before, as if it intertwined with the Dao and its principles!
With the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Boat sailing on the Great Dao River, Li Che's understanding of martial arts continued to deepen!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
After the collision, Li Che was sent flying, but after a brief respite, he once again surged forward with overwhelming Combat Intent, attacking Great Jing Ancestor!
During the battle with Great Jing Ancestor, Li Che also sensed the changes in the Gathering Immortals Flag. He looked in the direction of the Emperor and noticed his actions.
"Three Gathering Immortals Flags... trying to summon the Kunlun Mirror?"
The Three Pure Ones possessed many Divine Armaments, including the Purifying Water Basin, the Gathering Immortals Flag, the Kunlun Mirror, and the Heavenly River Ornament.
In terms of power, the Kunlun Mirror and the Gathering Immortals Flag were in the top tier. If all eight Gathering Immortals Flags were gathered, they would rank first among the four Divine Armaments.
The Heavenly River Ornament and the Purifying Water Basin were in the second tier, but they were still Divine Armaments of the Three Pure Ones!
"Kunlun Mirror..."
Li Che's eyes flickered, his heart trembling with excitement.
He remembered the scene from the Peach Garden of Immortality when he had connected with the Kunlun Mirror.
He had long discovered the Kunlun Mirror in the Peach Garden and even used it to capture many Kunlun death rays for cultivation!
The power of the Kunlun death rays was terrifying!
They possessed a destructive force akin to the annihilation of the Great Dao!
So...
Li Che did not stop the Emperor's actions.
He had some thoughts about the Kunlun Mirror.
If he wanted to ascend to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Li Che believed that Divine Armaments could become his foundation.
Like the lotus lantern that was being refined by the Golden Wheel of Time and Space, it was a legitimate Immortal-level artifact with unparalleled power.
If he had more such Divine Armaments, Li Che would feel much more confident.
The Kunlun death rays suppressed in the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth were continuously pulsing...
There was a sense of resonance.
"If the Emperor summons the Kunlun Mirror..."
"Could I use the Kunlun death rays I have refined to control it?"
This thought crossed Li Che's mind.
So, he simply watched without taking any action.
To him, the Emperor was nothing more than a clown.
Even if he couldn't control the Kunlun Mirror, Li Che's possession of the Kunlun death rays could counter its threat.
Boom!
Li Che focused entirely on battling Great Jing Ancestor!
This rare opportunity to refine and enhance the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit was not one that Li Che would easily let slip.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
The Gathering Immortals Flag fluttered behind the Great Jing Ancestor, shielding him from the Cosmic Will. However, it failed to subdue Li Che, causing a flicker of surprise in the Great Jing Ancestor's heart.
The power of a Half-Step Fusion with Dao, combined with the Imperial Deity Fist, couldn't subdue Li Che?
This Li Che, who clearly hasn't ignited the Divine Flame, why is he so powerful?!
And then...
"Are you secretly learning my Imperial Deity Fist?!"
The Great Jing Ancestor's eyes narrowed as he spoke in a deep, solemn voice.
The Imperial Deity Fist has nine forms. With his current Half-Step Fusion with Dao cultivation, he can perform the first three!
Now, he vaguely sensed the shadow of his Imperial Deity Fist in Li Che's Myriad Transformations Dragon-Elephant Furnace!
This filled the Great Jing Ancestor with both shock and anger!
It was an inexplicable sense of horror. How could such a person exist?!
This is the Imperial Deity Fist!
One of the proud slaughter techniques of the Dark Heavenly Court's Imperial Deity!
"Die!"
The Great Jing Ancestor roared in rage!
With a long howl, in the blink of an eye, nine hundred Great Dao divine engravings resounded, stacking up on the Divine Platform, as if the Great Dao River was faintly visible!
It was a supreme and majestic Great Dao River, exuding an unparalleled imperial aura.
The Great Dao River enveloped the Great Jing Ancestor like a golden robe, breaking through his bottleneck in an instant.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!—
The river surged, tearing through the sky. The Cosmic Will seemed to sense something and began to stir!
The shielding power of the Gathering Immortals Flag seemed to wane at this moment!
Li Che's expression instantly turned grave.
"The Great Dao River enveloping him, Lord... This person is forcing his way into the Fusion with Dao Realm!"
Li Che's mind was filled with Su Da's solemn voice.
"The Fusion with Dao Realm involves forcibly accepting the Great Dao River into one's flesh and blood, integrating its power into the physical body."
"The Fusion with Dao Realm is also the ultimate power that the mortal world can bear..."
Su Da explained to Li Che.
Li Che's eyes flickered, and he indeed felt a strong threat.
As the Great Jing Ancestor attempted to step into the Fusion with Dao Realm, the aura emanating from him grew increasingly terrifying, posing a real threat to Li Che.
Without hesitation, Li Che expanded the Heavenly Chessboard, snapping his finger, and vanished from his spot.
When he reappeared, he was directly above the Great Jing Ancestor, a city as dark as ink abruptly manifesting.
On the black city, ink flowed, and the plaque bearing the word "Purgatory" oozed ink, as if it were flowing black blood!
Li Che stood on the city wall.
He stomped down with his foot!
Boom!—
The entire Purgatory City instantly descended upon the Great Jing Ancestor.
The Great Jing Ancestor's hair flew wildly as he lifted his head and spread his arms, allowing the Purgatory City to engulf him!
The sky above the imperial capital instantly fell into a deathly silence, and the intense battle's aftermath finally subsided, no longer causing ripples.
Only a sinister and terrifying black city gate remained, seeming to contain boundless mysteries!
"Purgatory!"
"It's the Purgatory City of the Underworld!"
"Li Wuxian... Ultimately, he relied on the power of the Underworld!"
...
Many of the onlookers exclaimed in shock.
At this moment.
In a corner of the imperial tomb.
A jade coffin lay on the ground, with the Emperor lying on the Empress's body, as if completing a special fusion with her.
The divine array was activated, continuously revolving!
The surface of the coffin lid was covered with intricate patterns, transforming into an array eye.
The Emperor opened his eyes in the coffin, his face calm, exuding a regal and dignified aura.
His hands were crossed, palms facing outwards, resting on his chest.
He was calm and silent.
Countless divine auras and streams of light continuously condensed on his palms!
Faintly, countless shadows of the Peach Tree of Immortality emerged around the coffin.
Slowly...
Countless divine auras and streams of light condensed into a sharply defined mirror in the Emperor's palms.
The mirror was perfectly held by the Emperor's hands.
The Grand Supervisor, riding a black turtle, had a face enveloped in immortal qi, his eyes revealing a trace of surprise.
"This is..."
"The Kunlun Mirror of Xi Wangmu!"
...
...
Boom!—
A terrifying explosion instantly erupted within the Purgatory City, countless wild air currents tearing through the air, shattering space!
In an instant, many buildings in the Purgatory City were annihilated, reduced to ruins!
The Great Jing Emperor's body was heroic, his hair flying, his aura majestic. The Divine Platform and Divine Flame stacked up, drawing in a Great Dao River!
Even after being dragged into the Purgatory City from the imperial capital, the Great Dao River remained, undiminished!
The eyes of the Great Jing Ancestor erupted with an intense, radiant light as he swiftly scanned the Ink City Purgatory.
"Little Cavern Heaven?"
Huh?
The Ancestor's gaze narrowed, focusing on the distant void. He saw the void distorting, and slowly, one by one, figures began to coalesce and form!
Rumbling—
Divine power surged, and divine might spread far and wide!
The Young Dragon Emperor, Su Da, the Azure Heaven Toad, the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat, and the Heng Ha Deities!
One by one, these divine beings materialized out of thin air!
The powerful auras of these divine beings swept through like a storm, shaking the entire city of Ink!
"It's you all!"
The Great Jing Ancestor's eyes sparkled as he swept his gaze over them, his expression changing.
"The gods who had died... have actually awakened and appeared within this city?"
"Li Che, Father of Hell Lotus... have you mastered the power to control death?"
"Can you communicate with the River of Death?!"
The Great Jing Ancestor looked at Li Che, who was now visible. Li Che's black robes fluttered in the wind, and his jet-black hair danced like black lightning.
He looked at the Great Jing Ancestor with a calm expression, offering no further explanation.
What was there to explain?
He turned his gaze toward the direction of the Sovereign Tower.
There...
The Sovereign Incarnation, who had been seated, slowly stood up, and in an instant, Li Che swapped places with the Sovereign Incarnation!
In that moment, Li Che's brow split open, and divine power converged into the mud-like sphere within his mind.
He had fully transformed from the Divine Path to a Martial Immortal!
On the other side, the Sovereign Incarnation opened his eyes, divine power surging, maintaining his divine form. He landed behind the gods, stepping back.
Li Che didn't know if this reincarnation of the Great Jing Ancestor, the Divine Emperor, had any connection to the immortal Divine Emperors of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths on a willful level.
