## Chapter 559: Refining the Immortal Artifact, the Six Transformations of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor, and the Primordial Essence of the Immortal Realm—Li Che Wants It All (Part 1)

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The Demon Saint Halberd trembled continuously, emitting a dense aura of demonic energy that spread and intertwined.

Li Che’s gaze fell upon the engraving of the Divine Carving of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor on the halberd. The intricate engraving was the work of the Great Immortal Divine Carver, a master whose skill left Li Che’s heart pounding with admiration.

The Great Immortal Divine Carver was undoubtedly the pinnacle of divine carving in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Even the current Li Che, skilled as he was, still had a bit of ground to cover before reaching the Great Immortal’s level.

However, Li Che was very confident in his own abilities. Possessing the Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit made him highly sensitive to craftsmanship, allowing him to learn quickly.

Originally, deciphering the transmission platform had significantly enhanced the maturity of the Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit. Now, with the Demon Saint Halberd in hand...

Li Che felt increasingly confident about reaching the level of the Great Immortal Divine Carver.

The halberd in his hand trembled, its blade vibrating and casting intangible, shadowy ripples. It seemed that the will within the immortal artifact sensed great danger, awakening from its suppressed slumber and struggling fiercely.

His black hair danced wildly like black lightning, and Li Che’s eyes glowed with a strong desire to learn. However, raising his head to look at the dark clouds overhead, Li Che furrowed his brows.

The Big Dipper Heaven... after all, it was still the domain of the Deceptive Demon Den.

Although Li Che was impatient, he suppressed the intense urge to refine the Demon Saint Halberd in the Big Dipper Heaven.

Refining this halberd in the territory of the Deceptive Demon Den was not a good choice.

“This must be the halberd intended by the Demon Race’s Young Emperor Fu Shaoxi to achieve immortality. It’s different from ordinary immortal artifacts,” Li Che speculated, and it was indeed the case.

After some reflection, Li Che decided to leave the Big Dipper Heaven first.

Gripping the Demon Saint Halberd, Li Che’s mind stirred, and his aura changed dramatically. The Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit activated, releasing an overwhelmingly strong demonic aura.

The Demon Saint Halberd trembled, as if it had found a master as formidable as Fu Shaoxi.

The demonic aura flowed through the divine weapon, making it easier for Li Che to wield. Holding the halberd horizontally, he swept it through the air, the halberd’s light piercing through the mountain’s interior.

A sweeping motion, and the halberd’s light spun, hollowing out the entire mountain’s interior.

Inside the mountain, Li Che used the Demon Saint Halberd as a chisel to carve a transmission array on the massive rocks.

The sound of metal on stone echoed, and fragments of rock fell.

At Li Che’s current level, divine carving was no longer limited by the material. Whether stone or divine wood, they were essentially the same.

Because the materials were all extremely hard, the carving process felt the same.

Li Che’s skill in stone carving and wood carving was now on par, and in a broader sense, it should be described as divine carving. With sufficient skill, anything could become a divine carving!

When the engraving of the nine supreme beasts appeared on the mountain wall, the interwoven patterns of the Space Great Dao resonated.

The transmission array was immediately activated, and the divine energy flowed like a cleansing current, slowly forming a massive array pattern!

The light in the array pattern flickered brightly!

Holding the Demon Saint Halberd at an angle, Li Che stood at the center of the transmission array.

Raising his head, he looked at the ceiling of the mountain.

His body floated upward, and Li Che, holding the Demon Saint Halberd, felt the halberd’s will bow its noble head, severing its connection with Fu Shaoxi and choosing Li Che as its new master.

The metallic sound echoed as Li Che carved a chessboard on the ceiling of the mountain.

Raising his hand to his brow, a beam of light shot out from the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, and several Thunderbolt Chess Pieces dotted the chessboard like stars.

This carved chessboard resonated with the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, possessing a faint and isolating aura.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard Array was a product of Li Che’s ingenuity, capable of obscuring auras and isolating the transmission array within the mountain from detection.

After completing these tasks, Li Che’s eyes glowed, and he repressed the Demon Saint Halberd, causing the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit to settle down.

His divine energy erupted, activating the transmission array, and he began to travel through the void.

Boom!

The void intertwined with the Space Great Dao, and countless beams of light flowed rapidly around him.

As soon as Li Che entered the void, he locked onto the transmission array he had set up in the Mystic Sky Heaven and began to establish a space channel!

Rumbling—

As he approached the realm barrier.

The void suddenly trembled, and a terrifying will erupted.

The entire realm barrier seemed to become a transparent, soft membrane, trembling violently, with seven-colored light bursting forth.

Slowly, a pair of narrow eyes appeared, slowly opening and emitting a brilliant, blinding light.

The immortal will surged like a flood, permeating the entire void.

Even Li Che felt an intense pressure at that moment.

A torrent of demonic energy raged, and the chains of law and order danced wildly.

There was no doubt that this was an immortal of the Demon Race.

The aura was extremely terrifying, and the entire space channel seemed to be struggling under the strain. A pair of eyes, like two brilliant suns, emitted an extremely intimidating light!

The powerful immortal will attached to the realm barrier, sensing all beings attempting to cross the barrier.

Li Che’s eyes narrowed, and his heart sank slightly.

An immortal of the Demon Race!

Was this the immortal who sensed that the Demon Race’s Young Emperor Fu Shaoxi, a descendant of the first generation of immortals, had lost the Demon Saint Halberd and was now releasing his will?

The immortal will was extremely terrifying. This was a true immortal, and the will released without the isolation of the heaven and earth will could, if focused on a Nirvana cultivator, cause the cultivator to explode into a mist of blood and die instantly!

Rumbling!

The entire space channel trembled, as if shocking many cultivators traveling through the void, who were filled with awe and fear, trembling under the pressure of the immortal will!

Standing on the transmission array, Li Che’s light was dim as he traveled through the space channel. He raised his hand to his brow, and the Heaven and Earth Chessboard rose, enveloping his body and isolating any detection!

The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit also trembled, and he used the long-dormant Dragon Elephant technique, making his aura vanish completely.

The immortal will swept through like a torrent!

The transmission arrays, operating at high speed, trembled as if about to shatter. If a transmission array were to shatter, the cultivators within would fall into the void, torn apart by the Space Great Dao and turned into blood mist!

However, the powerful immortal of the Demon Race eventually halted the will storm.

After all, if the arrays were to shatter, causing the immediate death of the cultivators being transmitted, it could lead to significant problems.

The three major divine camps might develop huge conflicts.

Those who could use the transmission arrays were all individuals of some standing.

So, the powerful will of this immortal, after sweeping through the void several times, stopped when the arrays were about to collapse, receding like a tide.

The enormous eyes on the barrier, filled with coldness, slowly faded away.

Whistling—

The void transmission returned to normal order.

The transmission array Li Che was on continued to activate, transforming into a beam of light that transmitted him across vast distances.

Crossing the realm barrier, he returned to the Mystic Sky Heaven.

His black robe fluttered in the wind.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard floated above his head, casting black and white rays of light that completely erased Li Che’s aura.

“Immortal...”

Li Che’s expression became serious.

Facing the true will of an immortal made Li Che realize just how much more powerful immortals were than he had imagined.

And immortals were divided into Earth Immortals and Heaven Immortals...

If a Heaven Immortal were to release their will, Li Che had the feeling that even with the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, he might not be able to avoid detection.

...

...

Mystic Sky Heaven.

Cloud Peak Village, the rear mountain.

Green mountains were shrouded in mist, and the mountain peak had been flattened, creating a large plateau where divine carvings and spatial arrays spread their aura.

As the array flickered with light, divine energy evaporated like smoke, and the transmission array was activated.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The sound echoed, and the void trembled.

The air vibrated, forming invisible ripples that spread out.

When the ripples dissipated,

Li Che’s black hair danced wildly, and his figure, standing with his hands behind his back, emerged from the array.

The array’s light gradually dimmed.

Li Che removed the white jade mask, revealing the face of Mo Che after his bone and form transformation.

“Success.”

A hint of joy flashed in Li Che’s eyes.

The Temporal Golden Wheel Dao Fruit had undergone a transformation, making Li Che’s spatial positioning more accurate.

Returning from the Big Dipper Heaven to the Mystic Sky Heaven, he did not encounter any awkward situations, such as entering the wrong realm.

Even if such an awkward situation occurred, it would only require Li Che to set up a few more transmission arrays to correct it.

The rear mountain of Cloud Peak Village had almost become a forbidden area.

No villagers dared to step foot there, as if they were being held back.

Yun He personally guarded the entrance, sitting cross-legged at the foot of the mountain, his spirit bright and solemn.

When he first arrived at the rear mountain and saw the nine supreme beasts carved into the transmission array, Yun He was stunned beyond words.

It was a transmission array!

Mr. Mo Che... had actually set up such a high-quality array in the rear mountain of Cloud Peak Village.

However, such a transmission array was likely a private route, not confirmed by the three major divine camps.

If discovered, it could become extremely dangerous!

“Mr. Mo Che!”

So, when Yun He saw Li Che return safely without bringing any troublesome beings, he breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Li Che glanced at the relieved Yun He.

He smiled lightly. You’re relieved too soon.

With a snap of his fingers, a beam of light shot out.

Then, a black vortex twisted, transforming into a massive city gate!

Ink City Purgatory!

Beams of light shot out from the Purgatory, and figures emerged.

Leading the way was Tuoba Ye, followed by Xi Xi and Tuoba Lian, who had been sent into the Purgatory by Li Che.

Tuoba Ye felt a sense of disorientation. When he entered Ink City Purgatory, he saw a scene that left him bewildered.

He saw the villagers of Earth Village living in houses within the Purgatory.

Even Tuoba Long, who had died, was now alive and bowing to him in the city.

Tuoba Ye had seen Tuoba Long die at the hands of Ji Shaohao!

His divine consciousness had been shattered, and his death was extremely tragic. Yet, he had somehow been reborn!

When the ancestor of Earth Village, Tuoba Lian, also appeared in the Purgatory,

Tuoba Ye’s confusion vanished, replaced by overwhelming joy and gratitude.

Earth Village...

It still existed!

What a relief!

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

With Li Che’s snap of his fingers, Tuoba Ye, Tuoba Lian, and Xi Xi all appeared on the plateau of the flattened mountain.

A gentle breeze blew, and the forest on the mountain began to rustle and sway.

Yun He, who had rushed over, drew a sharp breath.

A terrifying pressure spread instantly, as if the air had solidified.

Tuoba Ye and Tuoba Lian thought Li Che had brought them out to fight.

So, they did not conceal their auras. The powerful divine consciousness of the Third Realm Divine Being and the terrifying pressure of the Nirvana King Tuoba Lian erupted, covering a thousand miles!

Yun He’s legs gave out, and he fell to his knees, staring in shock at the scene.

In Cloud Peak Village,

Tuoba Hu, Tuoba Li, and Tuoba Xiu, all cultivators from Earth Village, sensed these familiar auras at that moment!

They transformed into beams of light and shot out from Cloud Peak Village.

“Huh? Is this... Mystic Sky Heaven?”

Tuoba Lian, hunched over with white hair flying, his eyes flickering with surprise.

He immediately realized that they were no longer in the Big Dipper Heaven.

As a Nirvana King of an ancient village, he had no chance to leave the Big Dipper Heaven, as the transmission arrays of the three major divine camps were locked to him.

However, he was familiar with the different auras of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

“Village Chief! Ancestor!”

Tuoba Li and Tuoba Xiu, their faces flushed with excitement, tears streaming down their cheeks.

When Tuoba Long, who had been freed by Li Che, appeared with the villagers,

Tuoba Hu, a Dao Fusion Divine Being, shed tears, kneeling on the plateau and sobbing.

They thought they would never see the villagers of Earth Village again.

Tuoba Lian, the Nirvana ancestor, looked at the villagers with a complex expression...

The villagers were definitely dead...

But now, they were alive and well.

Who... could have such power to bring back the dead from the underworld?

As a Nirvana Divine Being, at this stage, they cultivated the power of life and death, stepping into the underworld and crossing the path of life and death.

At this level, they began to interact with the underworld!

A realm that governed the souls of the dead!

To bring back the dead, there was only one possibility: someone had forcibly brought these dead villagers back from the underworld.

Xi Xi also removed her small bull demon mask, her face flushed with joy.

The powerful immortal will attached to the realm barrier, sensing all beings attempting to cross it.

Li Che’s eyes narrowed, and his heart sank slightly.

An immortal of the Demon Race!

Was this the immortal who sensed that the Demon Race’s Young Emperor Fu Shaoxi, a descendant of the first generation of immortals, had lost the Demon Saint Halberd and was now releasing his will?

The immortal will was extremely terrifying. This was a true immortal, and the will released without the isolation of the cosmic will could, if focused on a Nirvana cultivator, cause the cultivator to explode into a mist of blood and die instantly!
