Chapter 528: The Eight Immortal Gates Open, Underworld's Ksitigarbha, and a Future Challenger to Heaven (Part 2)
So, Li Che took a cautious approach, unwilling to reveal his identity as a Martial Immortal, and continued to maintain his disguise!
Rumble—
The Young Dragon Emperor, with a fiery temper, clenched his fingers, and the golden dragon spear instantly appeared in his hand. He charged forward with a fierce attack!
Su Da's nine white fox tails whipped through the air, piercing through the rift in space and darting around rapidly.
The other divine beings also joined the fray.
The Azure Heaven Toad, the third of the Ten Great Evils, transformed with a loud croak!
In an instant, it became a massive creature, charging toward the Great Jing Ancestor!
They formed a circle of divine flames, preventing the Great Jing Ancestor from completing his fusion with the Dao!
On the Sovereign Tower, Li Che's body twisted, and his bones crackled with a loud popping sound.
"Since I don't want to reveal my identity as a Martial Immortal now..."
"I'll act as a new member of the Underworld. The Underworld... should have a new member."
Li Che smiled gently.
He brought his two fingers together and tore through the void, and a piece of extremely high-quality divine wood fell into his hands.
This divine wood was obtained from the space of the gods he had bound.
Li Che's body glowed, and a surge of blade energy erupted. He slashed at the divine wood, causing it to disintegrate, and countless wood shavings flew around.
A mask with a strange smile drifted down.
The divine wood was as white as jade, and the mask Li Che cut from it was also as white and pristine as jade.
He slowly placed the mask on his face.
Li Che's aura as a Martial Immortal burst forth!
Three Immortal Patterns covered his body, like flowers and vines, intertwining and spreading. His hair, pitch-black, danced wildly!
A great dragon roared from his back, and eight golden qi vortexes appeared, but with a thought, Li Che changed them to black vortexes.
Like the colors of the Underworld, the colors of hell.
Three streams of immortal qi flowed from three qi vortexes, wrapping around Li Che's broad and powerful body.
Thud—
Wearing the translucent jade mask, Li Che took a step forward, and the void seemed to shudder under the weight of his presence, rippling outward.
In the distance.
The Great Jing Ancestor, who had used the Imperial Deity Fist to suppress and knock away the Young Dragon Emperor, the Azure Heaven Toad, and other peak divine flame beings, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.
The Great Dao River, which connected his divine platform and divine flame, trembled slightly.
A sense of dread filled his divine mind. As a reincarnation of an immortal Divine Emperor, he felt an intense sense of danger at that moment!
This feeling was very wrong!
He suddenly turned his head and saw a figure stepping out from the Sovereign Tower, wearing a translucent jade mask!
"Who are you?!"
The Great Jing Ancestor narrowed his eyes.
Rumble—
He slammed the Imperial Deity Fist downward, smashing the Azure Heaven Toad to the ground, creating a massive crater in the Ink City Purgatory. The toad was deeply embedded in the ground, and cracks spread rapidly, destroying many buildings.
"Who are you?!"
The Great Jing Ancestor spoke coldly.
A pure martialist?!
That didn't seem right. How could a pure martialist be so strange?!
His qi and blood were strong and intense, and the divine patterns etched into his body—what was going on?
Using the Physical Body as a Divine Platform?!
What kind of lunatic is this?!
“Who am I?”
Li Che muttered, contemplating this new identity from the Underworld...
He planned to use it to challenge the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so Li Che began to deliberate.
Who should it be?!
After a long while, Li Che gradually had an idea.
The white jade mask on his face, while smiling, exuded a profound sense of compassion for all beings.
“I am... the Underworld’s...”
“Ksitigarbha.”
You are the Divine Emperor of the Heavenly Court.
I am the King of the Underworld!
Boom—!!
The Eight Extraordinary Gates on his back were abruptly activated, swirling like black holes, and powerful blood energy erupted from them, flowing through his mighty meridians, making his muscles and bones resonate. His Physical Body instantly emitted a brilliant aura.
“Ksitigarbha of the Underworld?”
“I have never heard of you!”
A cold, harsh voice came from Great Jing Ancestor.
As an immortal Divine Emperor of the Dark Heavenly Court, he had lived for countless years, and even after reincarnation, he retained many memories.
Yet, he had no recollection of Ksitigarbha of the Underworld.
“But you are just an unknown nobody. In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, in the mortal world, there has never been anyone like you!”
“Pretending to be a deity!”
Great Jing Ancestor spoke coldly, his disheveled hair making him look like a demon god. The Great Dao River descended, merging with his body!
He was about to fuse with the Dao!
Rushing sounds filled the air as the Great Dao River enveloped Great Jing Ancestor’s Physical Body. If it were another Divine Being just stepping into the Fusion with Dao Realm, they might be a bit disoriented and need time to adapt.
However, Great Jing Ancestor was different. He had already reached the Fusion with Dao Realm...
Thus, he easily mastered the Power of the Great Dao River!
A surging river of light appeared behind him, and his might continued to grow!
“It’s over.”
Great Jing Ancestor exhaled, clenching his fingers into a fist, the Power of the Dao converging on his fist.
However, just as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.
He looked at the figure wearing the white jade mask, who smiled at the world and mourned for all beings—Ksitigarbha of the Underworld!
He saw...
Ksitigarbha took a step forward!
Boom!!
Eight black holes spun behind him!
Purple flames shot up, green winds howled, and azure waters surged!
Terrifying calamity Power, like the great disasters of the primordial universe, erupted in a chaotic tide at the dawn of time!
In an instant, Ksitigarbha vanished!
He transformed into the wind, the fire, and the surging waters!
It was profound and mysterious!
As if he had merged with the world!
An ancient rune suddenly appeared, interwoven with boundless profundity, filled with profound Power, as if carved from countless Dao!
Great Jing Ancestor lifted his head and saw the three calamity Powers of wind, fire, and water condensing and entwining above him.
They transformed into an enormous guillotine!
Orderly chains of Immortal Qi wrapped around the guillotine, and on the blade’s back, the figure wearing the white jade mask emitted boundless, brilliant blood energy, bearing eight black holes, standing with hands behind his back.
Looking at him with compassion!
Li Che’s muscles and bones resonated, holding nothing back, unleashing all the Power of his Human Immortal peak, which had reached the Mystic Immortal’s profound mysteries!
He stomped heavily!
This stomp utilized Immortal Seed martial arts, specifically the Qilin Stamp of Void Suppression from the Eight Extraordinary Gates Immortal Seed!
Like a Qilin’s step!
The guillotine roared and shook!
The Nine Symbols Heaven and Earth Blade!
Although it was just one strike, Li Che used the three types of Immortal Qi he had generated and the blood energy ignited by the Eight Extraordinary Gates Immortal Seed!
Cutting through heaven, earth, and the Dao!
Rumbling—!!
The guillotine, wrapped in three types of Immortal Qi, erupted in a shocking roar!
It slashed down from the ninth heaven.
Great Jing Ancestor’s black hair flew, his dark robe clinging to his body, as he roared and unleashed the Divine Emperor’s Fist!
Fusion with Dao Power erupted, as if a Divine Emperor had been reborn!
However, under the Nine Symbols Heaven and Earth Blade, the Great Dao River that Great Jing Ancestor had just connected to was severed, losing its connection, unable to communicate!
This...
Boom!
Great Jing Ancestor’s aura plummeted rapidly. The Fusion with Dao realm he had just reached slipped away, falling back to the half-step Fusion with Dao Realm!
“How can this be?!”
“This is... the Heaven’s Will Guillotine?!”
“The Power of Cosmic Will? Who are you?!”
“What is this Underworld... What kind of force is it?!”
Great Jing Ancestor was both stunned and furious.
"In this eighth divine tide... the Underworld faction actually appeared!"
"Could it be... could it be that the Underworld is a Power created by the Cosmic Will?!"
"What is the Cosmic Will trying to do?!"
Great Jing Ancestor roared repeatedly.
Blades of energy rampaged, cold light flashing, leaving only Great Jing Ancestor's angry shouts echoing through the city.
The guillotine blade fell!
With a sickening thud!
It cleanly decapitated Great Jing Ancestor!
From the severed head of Great Jing Ancestor, a terrifying aura surged from the empty neck!
In the sky above Ink City, countless divine engravings suddenly appeared!
Far exceeding the nine hundred of the peak Divine Flame Realm!
A force that suppressed all of ancient history, shattered the void, and made the galaxies tremble rolled out!
The aura of immortality!
Boom—!!
The immortal aura instantly expanded, then transformed into a terrifying shadow, sitting astride with boundless divine light behind it, as if an indistinct universe were floating and sinking!
Dense divine gates dotted the sky, palaces stretching in rows!
The massive shadow, towering ten thousand feet high, had ancient runes swirling in its eyes!
With a single glance, it seemed to shatter everything!
"Lord!"
"This is the lingering immortal will of the reborn Immortal Deity!"
Su Da was forced out of the void, her nine tails curled into a ball, her whole body trembling uncontrollably!
"The reborn body has been slain, and all the arrangements and calculations in the mortal world have been foiled. In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths... the Immortal Deity who chose to reincarnate and fall into a deep sleep is about to awaken!"
Li Che, wearing a white jade mask, raised his head, his black hair dancing wildly.
Behind him, eight black holes rotated, the mask with a smile and a look of compassion gazing at the immense shadow of the Immortal Deity!
Boom—!!
Without a word, the immortal will of the Immortal Deity surged, then clenched into a fist, with millions of divine engravings intertwining and merging into a single fist!
That fist...
Seemed to transform into the vast sun of the nine heavens!
This was the true Imperial Deity Fist!
In that single punch, Li Che saw nine variations, all fused into one!
He couldn't block it!
Li Che took a deep breath.
His eyes, hidden behind the mask, deeply focused on that breathtaking punch!
As the punch landed, the terrifying aura swallowed everything.
Li Che vanished from Ink City Purgatory.
...
...
Above the capital.
The black gates of Ink City Purgatory were enveloped in boundless aura.
In the next moment.
Every eye widened, feeling the overwhelming pressure.
Two figures appeared out of nowhere.
One was Li Che's Sovereign Incarnation, radiating boundless divinity, maintaining his identity as the Divine Path Li Che.
The other was Li Che, wearing the white jade mask of Underworld's Ksitigarbha.
His black hair danced wildly, three divine engravings marked his body, and three strands of immortal qi, like silk, wrapped around him.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The sound of cracking echoed.
The gates of Ink City Purgatory were covered in cracks, and in the stunned gazes of countless cultivators, exploded into a mist of ink.
The dark mist rolled, obscuring the sky, enveloping the capital, making the light extremely dim.
The Underworld's Ink City Purgatory...
Collapsed?!
What about Great Jing Ancestor?!
Many hearts trembled, snapping out of their shock at the collapse of the Purgatory, and noticed the blind spot!
Li Che and a masked figure, clearly a high-ranking member of the Underworld, appeared.
As for Great Jing Ancestor...
Did he also collapse with Ink City Purgatory?!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
A sudden storm of blood and rain blew away the ink mist, turning the sky blood-red!
Terrifying bloodwater transformed into a torrential downpour, rapidly falling, drenching the earth!
A celestial anomaly, a divine being fell!
Under the immortal qi-wrapped face of the Chief Inspector, his eyes widened in shock.
He raised his head, looking at the blood-red sky where a golden dragon surged, then let out a mournful cry, breaking apart inch by inch!
That was the national fortune of Great Jing...
On this day.
It was completely severed!
The Chief Inspector's robes fluttered, his fingers forming seals, and he slowly exhaled.
The glimpse of the future he had divined...
Indeed, it came true!
"The divine rod emerges, shaking the heavens, Great Jing's land and people tremble..."
Li Che was the one who obtained the Heaven-Aligning Golden Cudgel, and indeed, today... he severed the national fortune of Great Jing, shaking its foundation!
"This glimpse of the future, which I saw, has indeed come true..."
"Will the other glimpse of the future also come true?!"
The Chief Inspector gazed at the severed, mournful national fortune, taking a light breath.
In that other glimpse of the future...
He saw.
Someone challenging the heavens!
Killing the Cosmic Will!
Who... would that person be?!
