Chapter 56: Firepower is Confidence, the Power of a Pure Heart
Chapter 56: Firepower is Confidence, the Power of a Pure Heart
What was that?
The few Divine Cultivators who were standing on the rooftop were taken aback, because... their divine senses were in turmoil, as if warning them of danger.
Great danger!
But this Ox Demon... he was only a Vessel Warrior in the initial stages of Pulse Channeling. How could he pose a threat to them?
That strange mechanism, with several metal tubes bundled together...
What was this Ox Demon trying to do?
Using a hidden weapon mechanism... did he think he could deal with them, these powerful Cultivators with Nature like a River? A warrior might not necessarily be a divine cultivator, but a divine cultivator was definitely a warrior!
Moreover, they were seasoned warriors, with physically refined bodies and advanced Blood Exchange techniques, their inner strength reaching the fourth heavenly layer...
Thus, their physical bodies were not weak, and they weren't helpless against hidden weapons.
Adding to that, their divine senses allowed them to perceive the mechanism clearly, making it seem utterly ridiculous.
The Ox Demon, masked and with fiery eyes, always drove people to madness with his firepower.
His robust black hair danced wildly, and his deep voice rose above the raging storm, booming through the heavens and earth.
"Enjoy a dazzling display of fireworks!"
Enjoy to your heart's content!
In an instant—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying blasts shook the air, and sound waves swept through, shattering the wind and rain. The mechanism the Ox Demon carried suddenly emitted a powerful sonic boom, and the surging energy waves rippled out in all directions, causing the accumulated water on the ground to form layer upon layer of ripples.
Countless shrieks, countless sparks, countless shockwaves...
From the five metal tubes of the strange mechanism, where they rapidly rolled, countless Wooden Ravens burst forth with madness.
Golden thunderbolts shot out one after another, like gleaming swords, tearing through the heavy downpour and splitting the rain curtain in half.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!
The speed was too fast; each Wooden Raven was squeezed by Li Che's surging Vital Energy and then propelled forward, adding to the powerful thrust generated by the Raven itself. They shot out rapidly!
A thousand ravens screamed in unison!
The heavens blossomed with golden flowers!
The six masked Divine Cultivators all changed expressions, frantically mobilizing their divine senses, which surged like a raging river.
But the shooting Wooden Ravens were too fast; in the blink of an eye, they were upon them. They could only use their divine senses to mobilize the chaotic divine energies between heaven and earth, freezing the air to form a divine air wall.
The Wooden Ravens collided with the air wall, seeming to pause for a moment.
In that instant, their eyes behind the masks calmed.
They could see clearly now.
These were wooden birds made of black wood, with lifelike wood grain. In that moment of pause, flames erupted from within the wooden birds, and in an instant, the flames roared and surged against the storm.
As they exploded, countless shockwaves formed. The explosive force and impact were enough to tear apart even a Vessel Warrior's flesh.
"Is that all?"
They exhaled, feeling inexplicably puzzled.
But...
The next moment, they stood frozen, their hair standing on end...
The Ox Demon, watching the mechanism, continued to spew fire tongues as wooden birds pierced through the rain curtain, carrying brilliant golden light, and relentlessly assaulted the divine air wall they had formed with their divine senses.
The number...
Was too great!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless golden lights exploded, filling the air with dense smoke. The air waves rippled back and forth, surging and rolling.
Each attack was powerful enough to tear apart a Vessel Warrior's flesh, and in just one or two breaths, dozens of them rained down. Even though they were Cultivators with Nature like a River, they felt...
Suffocation!
It was as if a soul-stealing messenger from hell, with an ox-headed mask, had grabbed their throats, choking them and harvesting their souls.
"Damn!"
The Divine Cultivator wearing the smiling female mask couldn't help but curse.
The air wall in front of him shattered.
Countless golden wooden birds, like screaming, rushed towards his body, engulfing him.
Under the dense, rolling black clouds, clusters of golden fireworks adorned the art of explosion.
Even the rain was blasted away.
The other Divine Cultivators soon followed in his footsteps.
...
...
Heat waves rolled, and the intense water vapor obscured the heavens and earth.
When the flames faded, the round raindrops from the sky continued to fall incessantly.
The entire area was in disarray.
As a trace of divine essence recovered, several figures wobbled to their feet. Their masks were shattered, and their clothes were tattered, some reduced to mere strips of cloth hanging on their bodies.
Their skin was torn and charred, and the pungent smell of burning flesh filled the air.
Even the pouring rain couldn't mask the scent of... cooked meat.
"It's over..."
"Where's the Ox Demon?"
"Damn it, he ran away long ago! What was that thing? Shooting out so many wooden birds, and they could explode with such terrifying power. What kind of mechanism could blow us, Cultivators at the peak of Nature like a River, into this state?"
"Now I understand why the Spirit Infancy Sect's followers don't call the Ox Demon a hero. This guy's methods are indeed heroic."
...
The Divine Cultivators no longer had thoughts of hostility or confrontation.
After all...
Si Mu Bai's Heavens and Earth Jade was gone, and the Ox Demon had already escaped.
Why were they confronting each other? Was it out of loneliness?
Everyone was well aware of each other's identities, so with their waning enthusiasm, no one continued to dwell on the matter.
"The Mechanism Art... can be this powerful? No wonder the Tang family could achieve such brilliance for a time. But in the end, the Mechanism Art is just a minor path; otherwise, the Tang family wouldn't have faded into obscurity after the fall of the Divine Embryo Powerhouse..."
"Who is this Ox Demon? To use a warrior's Vital Energy in conjunction with the Mechanism Art... and make us, the six of us at the peak of Cultivating Nature, look so pathetic..."
The men took deep breaths, exchanged glances, all of them somewhat shaken.
But slowly, they began to realize what had happened.
"Si Mu Bai's Heavens and Earth Jade is gone... That Ox Demon must have used Divine Techniques to erase the Divine Essence Aura emanating from the Heavens and Earth Jade."
"Damn it..."
"Find the Ox Demon! We must find him! That bastard has the Divine Foundation Opportunity..."
The tattered men, with their makeshift bandages, torn flesh, and wounds, stared at each other through the hazy steam and rain, a symbolic exchange of glances.
Then, with a mutual understanding, they turned away and fled in different directions.
...
...
Boom!
This time, Li Che effortlessly escaped by using the concealment ability of the Sleeping Dragon Elephant.
There were no more incidents of Divine Cultivators discovering and chasing after him.
Not to mention that those guys had their Divine Defenses shattered by the Namah Gatling Wooden Raven, leaving them no energy to pursue him.
Just by erasing the Divine Essence from Si Mu Bai's jade pendant, he had completely cut off their tracking.
However, Li Che still cautiously navigated through several alleys and changed locations multiple times to ensure he wasn't being followed.
Only after confirming that he was not being tailed did he return to the workshop courtyard that Xu You had arranged for him, carrying the Namah Gatling.
After landing and confirming that no one was around, Li Che began to breathe heavily, setting down the Namah Gatling.
Li Che's body returned to its normal size, and his mind instantly sank into his arms.
The Thousand Analyzing Hands, having absorbed a large amount of Si Mu Bai's Divinity, needed to be processed quickly, or else the pressure from the absorbed Divinity would become uncontrollable.
After all, Li Che was not a Divine Cultivator, not even a Cultivating Nature cultivator. If he couldn't suppress it, the Divine Essence of Crying Wrath would burst forth, affecting his sanity and possibly exposing him, leading to unnecessary trouble!
The Ox Demon's identity was too sensitive at the moment.
Therefore, without hesitation, Li Che channeled the absorbed Divinity into the Lion Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.
The Dao Fruit devoured the Divinity!
It relieved his pressure!
Fortunately, the pressure from the Thousand Analyzing Hands also returned to normal, and Li Che finally breathed a sigh of relief.
[Dao Fruit: Lion Elephant Vajra (LV2, 30%)]
Li Che glanced at it, and his heart couldn't help but leap with joy.
This wave of absorption directly increased the maturity of the Lion Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit by 10%!
Li Che even felt that his martial arts cultivation had reached the limit of the Six Stage Blood Exchange, and with the Pulse Connection Technique, he could break through at any moment.
The Horizontal Refinement innate talent boost from the LV2, 30% maturity Lion Elephant Vajra was immense.
Suppressing the surging Vital Energy in his heart, Li Che used the Dao Fruit to conceal his aura.
He opened his eyes again, and his pupils were clear as the rain poured incessantly.
Li Che removed the Cuteness Bull Mask and crushed it into fine powder with one palm, his gaze falling on the Namah Gatling. The LV3-level Immortal Art Dao Fruit had significantly enhanced Li Che's offensive capabilities.
The reason he dared to boldly kill Si Mu Bai this time was because of this trump card.
All his timidity and caution stemmed from insufficient firepower.
Once the firepower was sufficient... even the heavens could be overturned!
"It's okay, there's still room for improvement. The material durability is insufficient, and the Wooden Raven's burst isn't powerful enough... Shooting a hundred Wooden Ravens is the limit; any more, and it can't take it."
"Dividing it among those six Divine Cultivators, each would only get a dozen or so shots, not enough to kill them."
"If one person were to take on a hundred Wooden Ravens, even the strongest Cultivating Nature River cultivator would have to kneel before me!"
Li Che's eyes flickered as he caressed the Namah Gatling, reluctant to destroy the hard-earned creation.
But this thing was too conspicuous; it could easily expose his identity...
So, it had to be destroyed...
"Let's first study the jade pendant that was devoured by the Pure Heart..."
Li Che took a deep breath.
They say... there's a Divine Foundation Fragment in it, and that thing... is the real treasure!
His mind moved, and the Dao Fruit in his chest throbbed in response.
Li Che received feedback from the Pure Heart Dao Fruit; it had successfully devoured the jade pendant and gained its abilities.
Li Che was taken aback...
The jade pendant's ability? Infinite World in a Tiny Seed, Universe in a Single Jade!
This was the ability of the jade pendant that Si Mu Bai always carried with him!
With a thought, pure and clean Divine Essence gushed out.
The next moment, the Divine Essence became a blade, tearing at the air in front of Li Che, as if a zipper was opening a slit.
Beyond the slit...
Was a space, neither too big nor too small!
