Chapter 558: The Ksitigarbha Nirvana King Seizes the Young Emperor's Immortal Artifact [Vote for Monthly Ticket] (Part 2)
This was a Nirvana King!
One of the Nirvana Kings of the three major divine camps, participating in this operation!
He was responsible for targeting Earth Village's ancient patriarch, Tuoba Lian.
Upon sensing that Fu Shaohui's life force seemed unstable, he couldn't help but become anxious.
He rushed back from the battlefield in the starry sky!
In the Deep Pit, Fu Shaohui swayed on the verge of collapse, covered in wounds and looking extremely haggard.
This made the Nirvana King's eyes flash with fury.
A long roar echoed, like an ancient mountain tiger's angry bellow, as a vivid image of a colorful tiger appeared in the vast sky!
The Aura of Power crashed down, suffocating!
The Aura of Power of the Nirvana King surged like a mountain flood!
Ji Shaohao and Shi Shaokai exchanged a glance, realizing that the situation had escalated beyond their expectations.
Indeed.
Although this Nirvana King, one of the thirty-six cave lords of the Mystic Cavern, had withdrawn from the battlefield,
Three more beams of radiant light swiftly shot down, moving at an incredible speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three figures, like pillars of light, emitting black and white life and death auras, hovered in the void above the Northern Dipper Sky.
Li Che, hidden by the heaven and earth chessboard, scanned the figure that was being targeted with his gaze.
It was a figure in a simple robe, hunched over, extremely old, with a life and death aura so intense it even overshadowed the other three Nirvana Kings.
The other two Nirvana Kings were from the Obscure Heavenly Court and Hei Xumi.
The confrontation between the four Nirvana Kings seemed to come to a temporary halt due to the injuries sustained by Fu Shaohao, the young emperor of the Mystic Cavern.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The four Nirvana Kings hovered in the sky, their powerful auras spreading and colliding, creating ripples that warped space.
"Little Emperor!"
The Nirvana King of the Mystic Cavern landed beside Fu Shaohui, his expression changing drastically as he saw the injured Fu Shaohui.
He hurriedly extended his hand to stop the bleeding, his heart filled with anger, wondering who had injured his young emperor so severely.
Fu Shaohui did not hide anything.
He simply explained the situation.
On the other side, the Nirvana Kings of the Obscure Heavenly Court and Hei Xumi were listening to Ji Shaohao and Shi Shaokai's explanations.
A Nirvana Heavenly King?!
The three Nirvana Kings were startled!
Not just anyone could be called a Nirvana Heavenly King!
Only a Nirvana who had reached the pinnacle of the Nine Nether Life and Death Path could be called a Heavenly King!
In fact, many Immortals, when they attained the Dao, might not have fully mastered the Nine Nether Life and Death Path, breaking through as Nirvana Kings.
Therefore, a Nirvana Heavenly King... was indeed a formidable existence.
However, not all Nirvana Heavenly Kings could necessarily attain Immortality!
But the presence of a Heavenly King was enough to command their attention!
"Damn it, how could a Nirvana Heavenly King get involved!"
The Nirvana King of the Mystic Cavern raged.
His young emperor was severely injured, with the Cosmic Power still lingering within him, exacerbating the injuries, and even the Immortal Artifact needed for enlightenment had been taken away.
The atmosphere became intensely tense.
The combat atmosphere immediately escalated to the Nirvana level!
The hunched old man narrowed his eyes, his withered hair flying, his face, devoid of emotion, showing a hint of concealed curiosity.
When he learned that Tuoba Ye had been rescued, he was surprised.
His gaze fell on the figure sitting in the Great Dao River, and his heart trembled violently!
Because...
He seemed to sense something, to recognize something!
His eyes flashed with a look of disbelief!
Then, he completely hid this expression.
Tuoba Lian's body trembled, transforming into a radiant light, heading towards the Great Dao River.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Nirvana King of the Mystic Cavern, though angry, did not dare to act rashly.
After all, the three young emperors had all said that this Ksitigarbha was a Heavenly King!
They naturally feared him.
Even as Nirvana Kings, they would not be a match for a Heavenly King in a one-on-one battle.
On the Nine Nether Life and Death Path, there were distinctions among Nirvanas!
They even had to guard against this Nirvana Heavenly King possibly targeting the young emperor.
Thus, Tuoba Lian, who had been under attack, suddenly found himself at ease.
He landed in the Great Dao River, feeling the aura of the Martial Arts River, his eyes shining brighter.
"Senior... relax. Tuoba Ye is in the Small Cavern Heaven. I will take you to see him."
"We should retreat."
Suddenly,
Tuoba Lian was startled by a voice in his ear.
His gaze flickered, and he nodded slightly.
In the next moment, a black vortex appeared behind him, spreading rapidly like ink, engulfing him like a bottomless maw.
The Nirvana King suppressed his life and death aura, being swallowed and disappearing into the vortex.
This sudden turn of events made the three Nirvana Kings who had been battling Tuoba Lian frown.
"Disappeared?"
"Tuoba Lian and Tuoba Ye are both being taken away by this person? How can he be so domineering!"
"In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he even dares to confront us three major divine factions head-on? What is his background?"
The three Nirvana Kings spoke coldly, their voices filled with icy resolve, clearly unwilling to let this go and ready to fight back.
After all, the three young emperors had said that Ksitigarbha had the strength of a Heavenly King. They weren't convinced of that.
Whether he was a Heavenly King or not, a clash would reveal the truth!
"Stop!"
Ji Shaohao blocked the Nirvana King of the Obscure Heavenly Court.
"Senior Dizang once clashed with Lingxiao Wang in the Temple of the Two Saints and held his own!"
Ji Shaohao's words had a profound effect, immediately extinguishing the Obscure Heavenly Court Nirvana King's desire to act.
Lingxiao Wang?
He was the reincarnation of the Immortality God Emperor!
Although this reincarnation was created in this life and was not a Nirvana Heavenly King, and had not yet reached the end of the Nine Nether Life and Death Path...
With the will of the Immortality God Emperor, he was practically on par with a Nirvana Heavenly King!
Li Che sat atop the Martial Arts River, using the spatial river as a cover, with the two rivers intertwining.
The Cosmic Dao Body could only be summoned once in a short period by Li Che.
In other words, after his vital energy was depleted and slowly recovering, and his Mystic Immortal Will was exhausted, he needed time to recover.
Therefore, Li Che couldn't summon the Cosmic Dao Body again for the time being.
However, that wasn't entirely true...
If Li Che directly shattered the dominant avatar in Mo Cheng Fengdu, he could instantly restore his state to perfection.
This would mean he could again summon the Cosmic Dao Body.
But...
There was no need.
This was his trump card, and in the current situation, he had no reason to engage in a battle with the three Nirvana Kings!
Why fight...
Escaping was the key right now!
The Cosmic Dao Body could only deliver one powerful strike.
Moreover, the Northern Dipper Heaven was under the jurisdiction of the Mystic Cavern.
Fighting on the Mystic Cavern's territory and then not fleeing... was he waiting for the Immortality God to descend?!
Even with the Cosmic Dao Body, Li Che had no intention of facing the Immortality God directly!
After all, even a casual strike from the Immortality God would be on the level of the Cosmic Dao Body.
Rumbling—
The Great Dao River vanished after being cut through by the Dao Vessel.
Li Che stood atop the heaven and earth chessboard, his black robe billowing, his sorrowful white jade mask hiding eyes that stared intently at the powerful figures of the three divine factions.
Fu Shaohui... Li Che ignored him completely.
His gaze fell on Ji Shaohao and Shi Shaokai, the two young emperors.
After all, Fu Shaohui possessed the Demon Saint Halberd, so Ji Shaohao and Shi Shaokai...
Likely also had powerful Immortal Artifacts for their Dao ascension!
Li Che had his eyes on the Immortal Artifacts and Divine Armaments in these young emperors' hands!
However, the timing wasn't right, so for now, he would let them keep his Immortal Artifact.
Ji Shaohao and Shi Shaokai felt a chill, as if they were being watched by some terrifying presence.
Ji Shaohao's frown deepened as he looked at Ksitigarbha, who seemed to be one with the heavens and earth.
"Senior Dizang..."
He opened his mouth to say something.
But Li Che waved his hand. "I'm taking them with me."
With that, Li Che spread his fingers.
A white chess piece floated up in his palm.
The moment he gripped it, a power akin to the sudden appearance of a divine dragon surged, shaking the very fabric of space and time.
Li Che vanished on the spot.
Boom!
The three Nirvana Kings almost simultaneously attacked the moment Li Che escaped, their powerful auras crashing down, creating a massive crater where Li Che had stood.
Fu Shaohui's body trembled, swaying as blood spattered.
He escaped?
His Demon Saint Halberd... just taken like that?!
A piercing pain, like a terrifying spear piercing his heart, overwhelmed him!
It was unbearable!
His halberd!
The three Nirvana Kings frowned, glancing at each other, their expressions grim.
Ji Shaohao and Shi Shaokai also felt a sense of frustration.
This mission could be considered a complete failure.
The only thing they accomplished was the destruction of Earth Village, wiping out all its inhabitants.
However, they failed to kill Tuoba Ye, who was crucial to Yulian's Daughter, and they also failed to eliminate the village's patriarch, Tuoba Lian, to prevent retaliation...
This mission was far from perfect.
"Tuoba Ye is still alive; it's uncertain if this will provoke Yulian's Daughter..."
"It's likely going to be difficult."
"We might need to find another way to provoke Yulian's Daughter..."
Ji Shaohao spoke in a solemn voice.
"We just received intelligence that Yulian's Daughter seems to have been taken away by a strange entity during the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling Battle. They brought her to the Yunxiao Village in the Xuanxiao Heaven."
Ji Shaohao squinted his eyes slightly.
Xuanxiao Heaven, Yunxiao Village...
Ji Shaohao couldn't help but recall something.
Back then, he had led a group of powerful warriors in pursuit of Ksitigarbha, who had entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths through a mysterious temple.
Ksitigarbha... had vanished without a trace in the Yunxiao Village of the Xuanxiao Heaven.
So...
Could the mysterious and powerful ally that Yunxiao Village invited for the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling Battle be Ksitigarbha?
Even if it wasn't... it must have a significant connection to Ksitigarbha!
"Let's go! We're heading back to Xuanxiao Heaven!"
"By the way... the Divine Craft Immortal Hand Competition organized by Laojun Immortality is about to start."
"Also, regarding the Third Prince, the Ancient Dragon Clan has been hunting him for so long without any results. Since our three divine factions have failed here in Earth Village, we shouldn't just sit idly by. We should seize the opportunity to join forces with the Nirvana Kings of the Ancient Dragon Clan and eliminate the Third Prince!"
"Holding the head of the Third Prince's temple deity to show Yulian's Daughter should be quite a shock!"
Ji Shaohao laughed and continued.
"In fact, the greatest shock would be to present the heads of Yulian's Daughter's parents, but unfortunately, they are still in the mortal world. Her father, Li Che, has become an extremely powerful Martial Arts Human Immortal..."
"In the mortal world, he is invincible. Even a Dao Fusion deity would find it difficult to deal with him."
"So, to take his head in the mortal world is far more challenging than taking the head of a Nirvana King in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
He glanced deeply at the staggering Fu Shaohui, the young emperor who had faced Ksitigarbha's Cosmic Power and barely survived a near-death experience.
He had comprehended the essence of life and death but lost his Immortal Artifact, the key to his enlightenment. Whether this was a blessing or a curse, no one could say for sure.
However, with the strength of the Mystic Cavern, which boasts three Great Immortal Carvings, if the Immortality Demon Emperor were to intervene, they could likely create a new Immortal Artifact for Fu Shaohui.
But...
Even if a new Immortal Artifact were crafted, the loss of the one he had nurtured for so long would still have a significant impact.
Fu Shaohui, now back to his senses, his eyes seemed to be dripping with blood as he screamed, tears streaming down his face.
"Back to Mystic Cavern! I demand to see the Immortality Demon Emperor!"
"I must report to the Demon Emperor that I have been robbed!"
Although calling for help was shameful...
For the sake of his Immortal Artifact, Fu Shaohui didn't care about such things!
Moreover...
Ksitigarbha, a revered Nirvana King who had walked to the end of the Nine Nether Life and Death Path, shamelessly stealing a junior's Immortal Artifact!
Even more shameful!
...
...
Buzzing through the void, Li Che clutched the Thunder Chess Piece and instantly vanished.
He returned to the ruins of Earth Village, where the heaven and earth chessboard unfurled, allowing him to traverse the stars.
In a few steps, he crossed thousands, even tens of thousands of miles!
Once he was far enough from Ji Shaohao and his group, he slowed his pace.
Boom!
Li Che landed on an ancient mountain, where ancient trees that had stood for millennia reached into the sky, their canopies stretching to the heavens.
Li Che landed lightly on the peak of a massive ancient tree, the sky above shrouded in wisps of cloud.
Whistling winds howled at high altitudes.
Li Che's black robe fluttered in the wind, the fabric crackling like a sharp blade.
His mind stirred slightly.
The flesh between his eyebrows split open.
The heaven and earth chessboard shot up, swirling as if a great demon were sealed within.
Terrifying demonic energy surged and rolled across the chessboard, like smoke rising from a battlefield.
Even the Demon Saint Halberd, though sealed, continued to tremble.
Li Che used the Ten Thousand Dragons Nine Tribulations Qi and the Huatian Tower, two Second Saint Divine Armaments, to forcefully suppress it.
Only then did the Divine Armament become more docile.
With a clench of his fingers, the Demon Saint Halberd fell from the chessboard into Li Che's hand.
Buzzing...
The halberd blade vibrated continuously, humming without end.
Li Che's gaze swept over the intricate divine carving on the blade.
The reason the Demon Saint Halberd had caught Li Che's attention wasn't just because of the Myriad Demon Emperor Dao Fruit.
It was also because...
The divine carving on the blade, crafted by a Great Immortal Carving of the demon race.
Perhaps, through the Divine Craft Dao Fruit... Li Che could decipher the techniques of the Great Immortal Carving!
And then, advance to the level of a Great Immortal Carving!
