Chapter 565: Repeated Transcendence of the Hell Dao Fruit, the Holy Doutian Palace Finally Senses the Qi Tian Aura [Monthly Votes Requested]

Boom!

The outstretched fingers, resembling five divine spears, pierced into the headless corpse of Nirvana with an unparalleled sharpness.

The "Hell" Dao Fruit in Li Che’s chest began to react violently, the booming sound resonating like a thunderclap in his ears.

The Netherworld Path of Life and Death, which the Nirvana powerhouse had traversed, instantly appeared before Li Che’s eyes.

The surroundings seemed to shift, faintly connecting with the unique realm of the Netherworld.

Although Li Che was currently in Ink City Netherworld, the connection with the Netherworld was not as strong as it would be in the human world or the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, where the Netherworld’s influence would be more direct.

However, Li Che still saw a segment of the Netherworld Path of Life and Death, which, though short, stimulated the "Hell" Dao Fruit like a powerful elixir, causing it to tremble continuously.

Boom!

The entire segment of the Netherworld Path of Life and Death was completely absorbed by the "Hell" Dao Fruit.

"It really works. It seems that the Netherworld Path of Life and Death is indeed closely related to the Netherworld."

Li Che’s eyes flickered. Initially, this was just an experiment, but he never expected it to yield such significant results.

However, Li Che sensed that the "Hell" Dao Fruit was primarily absorbing the life and death aura contained within the Netherworld Path of Life and Death.

[Dao Fruit: Hell (Lv2, 0%)]

[Dao Fruit: Hell (Lv2, 50%)]

...

[Dao Fruit: Hell (Lv3, 50%)]

[Dao Fruit: Hell (Lv4, 0%)]

...

Before his eyes, black light intertwined, and messages continuously appeared, indicating that the maturity of the newly acquired Dao Fruit was rapidly increasing!

Li Che was not surprised, as the Netherworld Path of Life and Death came from a Nirvana Divine Being. Nirvana Divine Beings are known as kings and stand at the pinnacle of strength even in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

In the ancient villages of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, only villages of the Three Pure Ones’ level could have a Nirvana Divine Being as a guardian. Even the Four Emperors’ upper ranks do not have a Nirvana Divine Being as a guardian, which clearly demonstrates the power of Nirvana.

Therefore, the absorption of the Netherworld Path of Life and Death by the "Hell" Dao Fruit naturally produced a significant effect.

Boom!

His heart felt like it was being struck by a massive bell, and the intense explosion echoed in his ears.

Finally, the maturity of the Dao Fruit stabilized.

[Dao Fruit: Hell (Lv5, 0%)]

From Lv1 to Lv5, it had undergone a remarkable four-stage transformation!

However, Li Che found this quite normal. The harvest from defeating a Nirvana powerhouse, as he had guessed, was primarily due to the Netherworld Path of Life and Death’s compatibility with the "Hell" Dao Fruit. Such results were expected.

At the Dao Fruit's third level, its first transformation granted Li Che the nascent form of the "Hell Armor", signified as "Hell·Hell Armor."

[Dao Fruit Lv4, second transformation, gained the second form of "Hell Armor", "Netherworld Path of Life and Death", and the first level of the "Hellfall Burial" skill]

[Dao Fruit Lv5, third transformation, advanced the first level of "Hellfall Burial" to the second level, "Hellfall Rebirth"]

Humming sounds filled the air as black mist swirled and condensed into messages.

Li Che’s eyes opened and closed, his emotions slightly fluctuating. Looking at the transformation results of the Dao Fruit, his mood remained relatively calm.

Perhaps because he had experienced many changes in his Dao Fruits, he had become more composed.

However, each Dao Fruit was unique, and their transformation effects gave Li Che a strong sense of impact.

"This ‘Hell’ Dao Fruit... its skill is ‘Netherworld Path of Life and Death.’ Could it be that this Dao Fruit’s origin is the Primordial Water Tribulation?"

Li Che couldn’t help but think of this, his expression slightly changing.

Now, Li Che only needed the Primordial Earth Tribulation to complete the Primordial Nine Tribulations.

However, there was no clue about the Earth Tribulation.

The acquisition of Dao Fruits was random, similar to opening a blind box. Even Li Che had no way of knowing what kind of Dao Fruit he would obtain.

He took a deep breath.

Standing in Ink City Netherworld, beneath the adorable Mini Bull Demon Mask, his jet-black, sturdy hair strands, sharp like divine swords, seemed to cut through the air with each movement.

This made Cang Che, standing opposite him, tremble with fear.

Behind Li Che, the terrifying mechanical beast, fully activated with four ancient runes fused into the Qi Tian Armor, emitted a formidable pressure that seemed to crush the heavens and earth.

Li Che tested the nascent form of the Hell Armor and its associated skills.

The nascent form of the Hell Armor could generate a layer of armor on the surface of his physical body, resembling flowing lava, which was extremely hot and capable of withstanding significant damage.

However, for the current Li Che, this was only marginally useful.

After all, Li Che’s Physical Body had been refined into a Mortal Saint Body, making it extremely powerful and strong, so he had little need for defensive armor.

As for the First Heaven divine skill, Hellfall Slaughter.

It is a destructive technique that can shatter the ground, invert the earth, and unleash scorching lava, containing an extremely powerful force of destruction.

The Second Heaven divine skill, Hellfall Rebirth...

Is more mysterious, possessing a brief resurrection ability. It can bury the flesh and blood of a deceased body, then regenerate a complete corpse that can emit the full power of its former life. When combined with Hellfall Slaughter, it can cause the fully regenerated corpse to explode, greatly enhancing the power of Hellfall Slaughter!

However, Li Che's eyes brightened slightly, feeling that if Hellfall Rebirth were to be used in conjunction with a Bound Deity, it might yield unexpected results.

Overall, reaching Level 5 of the Hell Dao Fruit was quite beneficial to him.

Of course, the help it provided at his current stage was limited.

Rumbling—

The entire Ink City Netherworld was in turmoil.

It seemed the connection with the Netherworld was becoming even more intimate.

However, the strength of Nirvana cultivators was truly formidable, making it extremely difficult to bind them as deities. The stronger one's cultivation, the harder it was to bind them, and one had to be cautious of the situation on the Netherworld Path of Life and Death.

Li Che killed a Nirvana cultivator from the Dark Heavenly Court and did not stay in Ink City Netherworld for long.

Binding a Nirvana cultivator as a deity would have been difficult for Li Che before, when he had not yet reached the Dao Union realm and was still a newly ascended Immortal. But now, with his successful Dao Union, it was possible.

Although it was challenging, he ultimately succeeded. Perhaps it was because the Hell Dao Fruit had absorbed the Netherworld Path of Life and Death.

Hum—

After successfully binding a Nirvana cultivator, Li Che used the Hellfall Rebirth divine skill to restore the Nirvana's physical body to perfection.

A surging life force burst forth from the corpse formed by Hellfall Rebirth.

With a flick of his finger, the black chess piece that represented the Bound Deity shot out and merged into the corpse, melting into the limbs and bones, taking control of the body.

Li Che could sense the terrifying energy contained within the corpse.

If this energy were to explode, it would be devastating, extremely powerful!

A human bomb of a Nirvana King!

If fully detonated, even a Quasi-Heavenly King might suffer severe injuries if caught off guard.

The self-detonation of a Nirvana cultivator, even at the initial stage, would be extremely terrifying.

Swish, swish—

Ink City Netherworld had not completely shattered and was slowly recovering. Once it was fully repaired, the Immortal Dao Fruit in the painting would gain an additional boost.

Li Che's mind stirred slightly.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (Level 9, 10%)]

The maturity of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, which had undergone seven transformations, appeared before him.

Killing a Nirvana cultivator did not yield as much Dao Fruit maturity as Li Che had imagined...

Or rather, it was already quite a lot, but the Dao Fruit of seven transformations required an enormous amount of maturity to fully evolve.

However, Li Che was still quite pleased.

Because killing a Nirvana cultivator at the initial stage contributed to the evolution of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit. This meant that killing Nirvanas at the initial stage was useful...

The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit had not yet reached the point of despair where it could no longer transform and achieve the ninth transformation.

"Nine transformations of the Dao Fruit... Is it that difficult?"

Li Che's eyes flickered.

To him, so far, he had not encountered the difficulty of Dao Fruit transformation. At least, there was still hope.

The Dao Fruit maturity he gained from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit had not been used; he planned to use it during his Dao Union.

Now, with the River of the Soul as a lubricant, he had completed the Dao Union of two major paths.

There were still five more paths to unify.

The task was arduous and the journey long.

Li Che ended his thoughts and glanced at Cang Che, who was respectfully bowing. He thought for a moment, assigned him some tasks, and then left the Netherworld.

He planned to celebrate Xixi's birthday.

Xixi's tenth birthday, as a father, he naturally could not be absent.

He had missed Xixi's ninth birthday, and this time, with him being in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he could not miss it again.

Each absence was a regret!

...

...

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The void was trembling continuously.

Terrifying Nirvana willpower rolled and surged, and the Quasi-Heavenly King of the Dark Heavenly Court, with his radiant body, stood in mid-air, his gaze sweeping over the area, his face as dark as water.

The other two Nirvanas also converged together.

Outside Cloud Peak Village, the void seemed to transform into a quagmire, solidifying and making movement extremely difficult.

At the entrance of Cloud Peak Village.

Tuoba Lian, leaning on a cane and hunched over, faced the overwhelming pressure, looking as if he might be crushed at any moment.

However, even so, Tuoba Lian did not retreat a single step. He stood firm, blocking the terrifying pressure brought by the three Nirvana cultivators, protecting Cloud Peak Village!

Suddenly.

In the tense atmosphere.

Black smoke suddenly surged in the void.

The fluctuations of the Space Path rippled, and a figure staggered out of the void, coughing up blood. The blood was filled with the power of rules and order.

The face of the Nirvana King was extremely grim, a ghastly wound on his chest, the cracks around it spreading outwards.

He panted heavily, his vitality fluctuating wildly.

However, the moment this Nirvana King appeared, the tense atmosphere was shattered.

Seeing this Nirvana King return, the other two and the quasi-Heaven King all heaved a sigh of relief.

He’s not dead!

It’s all good as long as he’s not dead. This means that if that mysterious existence intervenes, they all have a chance to survive.

"King Xuan Ling, who attacked you?!"

The quasi-Heaven King asked in a deep voice, simultaneously releasing a powerful Nirvana will to probe the body of the Nirvana King.

He wanted to check if this Nirvana King was an imposter. However, after confirming that this Nirvana powerhouse was indeed flesh and blood, albeit with a slightly weakened Nirvana will, he relaxed even more.

But he couldn’t help asking:

"Was it the King of Ksitigarbha that the Young Emperor mentioned?"

King Xuan Ling, who had been at the initial stage of Nirvana and was killed by Li Che, still had a look of lingering fear on his face.

"No, it was a masked powerhouse. I couldn’t see his face clearly. His combat strength is very formidable, at the Nirvana level... He pulled me into a small realm, trying to catch me off guard. Fortunately, I reacted in time and managed to break out, even though I was injured."

King Xuan Ling wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face cold and ruthless.

Hearing this, the quasi-Heaven King’s brows furrowed.

A masked powerhouse...

He shook his head, unable to determine which faction this Nirvana belonged to.

The quasi-Heaven King had no choice but to make everyone more alert. The three Nirvana beings moved closer to each other, ready to pass on any news if anything happened.

At the entrance of Cloud Peak Village.

Tuoba Lian narrowed his eyes, observing the Nirvana powerhouses from the Dark Heavenly Court who had relaxed their guard, and something came to mind.

Suddenly, Tuoba Lian seemed to sense something.

He looked in a certain direction within the village.

There, at some point, a figure in black appeared, his black hair flying, a gentle smile on his face.

Mo Che?

Tuoba Lian’s wrinkled face broke into a smile.

What a coincidence!

The Nirvana powerhouse was taken away, and then Mo Che returned...

It seems that the incident the Nirvana powerhouse encountered was caused by Mo Che.

Li Che greeted Tuoba Lian and then walked straight back into the village, hands behind his back, taking steady steps.

Yun Huang was in an open area trying out the Immortal Art Barrett, and she immediately sensed Li Che’s return. She excitedly picked up the Barrett and strode forward with her long, slender legs.

"Teacher!"

Yun Huang’s eyes were bright.

Yun Lei, who was slower to react, jumped up.

They were fast, but someone was even faster!

Xixi almost transformed into a black streak of light, riding the Hell Lotus Fire and Gold Wheel, rushing over like a meteor.

With a loud thud, she crashed into Li Che’s arms.

If Li Che’s body weren’t strong enough, he would have been thrown into the air like someone hit by a truck.

"Isn’t today Xixi’s birthday? I came back to celebrate it with you."

Li Che held Xixi, smiling warmly.

Many children in Cloud Peak Village, barefoot, also ran out, following their leader Xixi, cheering and shouting.

The village was instantly filled with a festive atmosphere.

Xixi was overjoyed, never expecting that her father would remember her birthday.

Not only did he remember, but he also came back specially to celebrate it with her. How blissful!

Besides Xixi, Zhang Ya was also surprised. She wore the Meng Po Mask, holding the little fox Suda, leaning against the door frame.

Seeing the father and daughter surrounded by the village children, she couldn’t help but smile gently, her eyes soft.

...

...

After celebrating Xixi’s birthday, Li Che originally wanted to stay in the village for a while longer.

However, news came from the Mystic Mountain Ancient City that they were about to set out for the Primordial Heaven to attend the Divine Artisan Immortal Hands Assembly.

So, Li Che had to bid farewell to everyone in the village once again.

"Daddy! Take Xixi with you!"

When they were alone, Xixi immediately grabbed Li Che’s hand, shaking it and pouting.

She also wanted to see the Divine Artisan Immortal Hands Assembly!

Moreover, Xixi wanted to see how the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was doing. His presence had left a deep impression on her in the mortal world!

"It’s too dangerous outside", Zhang Ya said.

"Mom, with Daddy here, I’ll be safe! Daddy will definitely protect me!"

Xixi continued to pout, turning to look at Li Che, her eyes sparkling like little stars.

How could any father resist such a pout from his daughter?

At least, Li Che couldn’t. Of course, it was also because Li Che now had the confidence to protect Xixi’s safety.

If necessary, he could bring Xixi into the Ink City Netherworld.

If that didn’t work, he could use the Flying Thunder Pawn to teleport her away, and the Overlord’s avatar could protect her.

Additionally, Li Che could give Xixi the right to control the Qi Tian Armor, even though she hadn’t cultivated the Great Dao River.

However, Li Che had many Dao Boats. He could guide one to carry Xixi, allowing her to control the Arm-Extending Qi Tian Nirvana Armor!

This would also be a means of self-preservation.

"Alright."

As Li Che agreed, Xixi immediately leaped up, hugging his cheek and planting a big kiss.

Xixi, who was almost a succubus-like presence in Cloud Peak Village, was rather unrestrained in front of Li Che.

"If those little followers of yours saw you like this, the image of Great Emperor Xixi in their hearts would probably crumble completely!"

Li Che teased.

Xixi stuck out her tongue, shook her head, and showed a carefree attitude.

This time, Li Che didn't want to alert too many people when he left the village.

He put the Mini Bull Demon Mask on Xixi and left a series of chess pieces on her body to completely shield the cursed aura of the Hell Lotus.

Zhang Ya handed the little fox Suda to Xixi, instructing her to protect Xixi if necessary.

Zhang Ya herself stayed in Cloud Peak Village to refine the Divine Weapon set Li Che had given her, a process that didn't require Suda's help.

Xixi wore Suda like a scarf around her neck and followed Li Che to the village entrance, where they met Tuoba Lian.

"Grandpa Lian, I'm going out to play with Mr. Moche!"

Xixi, wearing Suda as a scarf, greeted Tuoba Lian.

Tuoba Lian smiled warmly in response.

"Be careful."

"No problem!"

The conversation between the old and the young was very heartwarming.

Li Che held Xixi's hand and nodded to Tuoba Lian.

Then, he took a step and used the Flying Star Teleportation!

This time, because it involved his own people, the teleportation didn't even catch the attention of the near-Heaven King.

Li Che directly broke through from the direction of the Xuan Ling King and left the village.

After several consecutive Flying Star Teleportations, they quickly arrived at the Xuan Mountain.

With his cultivation reaching the Dao Integration realm, Li Che's Immortal Will became even stronger, and the teleportations barely drained him.

Inside the ancient city of Xuan Mountain.

Li Che used the Thunder Chess piece left on the Dominator's avatar to teleport and switch positions.

"Wow! This is Xuan Mountain? Father... Mr. Moche even has his own palace?"

Xixi was amazed, holding onto Suda's two tails and curiously examining the palace.

"Hey? Where did this little one come from? Immortal Hand Cangche is a genius in the Young Emperor's Immortal Hand Squad, highly regarded by the Young Emperor. Even Great Immortal Zhao Yuan plans to take Cangche as a disciple after this Divine Craft Immortal Hand Conference!"

Just as Xixi was amazed, Cang Yuan walked out from the hall.

Seeing Xixi with the cute Mini Bull Demon Mask, he was surprised.

However, knowing Li Che's special identity, he wasn't overly shocked and assumed she was a child from Li Che's village, brought along to see the world.

Of course, Cang Yuan didn't think Xixi could be the daughter of the Hell Lotus.

How could the daughter of the Hell Lotus possibly appear under the Young Emperor's nose at this critical moment?

He couldn't even fathom it.

Even Young Emperor Ji Shaohao couldn't have imagined it.

When Li Che brought Xixi and Cang Yuan to meet Ji Shaohao, the Young Emperor was slightly taken aback by Xixi.

"A younger generation from the village, quite talented in Divine Carving. I specially had Cang Yuan bring her here; perhaps this Divine Craft Immortal Hand Conference will be a great inspiration and training for her."

"Cultivating the younger generation of the village is of utmost importance."

Ji Shaohao raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on Xixi, but he couldn't sense anything unusual.

Great Immortal Zhao Yuan laughed heartily, "Well said!"

"A village's rise depends not only on those who push its limits but also on the children who can shoulder the burden."

"To achieve a leap in rank, a village always needs the efforts of generation after generation!"

Great Immortal Zhao Yuan's gaze fell on Xixi, and he smiled warmly.

"Little girl, can you carve something for Grandpa?"

Xixi tilted her head, her eyes shining brightly under the Mini Bull Demon Mask.

"Sure thing!"

Xixi wasn't afraid at all. She took out a carving knife, grabbed a piece of wood, and started carving on the spot.

Surprisingly, Xixi's skills were quite refined. Although Li Che didn't teach her much, she had learned by osmosis and the bond with the Divine Craft Dao Fruit. Her Divine Carving skills were indeed impressive.

She was roughly at the level of a Half-Saint in Divine Carving!

"Hahaha! No wonder Cangche values you so much. Indeed, very good! To be at the Half-Saint level in Divine Carving at your age, you have a bright future as an Immortal Hand!"

Great Immortal Zhao Yuan laughed. If Canglan Village could produce two Divine Craft Immortal Hands, influencing the Three Pure Ancients Village wouldn't be difficult at all.

Ji Shaohao also took a closer look at Xixi. A Half-Saint in Divine Carving at her age was indeed very good.

He began to think about how to recruit Cangche and Xixi in the future.

"Alright, we've stayed in Xuan Mountain for quite some time. It's time to head to the Primal Heaven."

"We can also meet the Divine Craft Immortal Hands from the Mysterious Demon Den and Black Mount Sumeru in advance, to gauge their skill levels."

Ji Shaohao said.

This Divine Craft Immortal Hand Conference was essentially a stage for the Divine Craft Immortal Hands of the three major divine factions.

Li Che had no objections.

Ji Shaohao then took out his ancient Divine Weapon bell, threw it into the air, and it hovered there.

"Clang—!"

The bell's sound rang out, and the waves of sound spread like ripples.

The many Divine Craft Immortal Hands still cultivating in the ancient village opened their eyes, sensed the situation, and quickly gathered.

In the center of the palace complex, at the teleportation platform of Xuan Mountain.

The towering statues of divine officials, each a hundred feet tall, stood in various poses, enveloped in the swirling white mist, creating a dreamlike scene.

Li Che held Xixi’s hand as they followed Ji Shaohao and Zhao Yuan, the Great Immortal, onto the teleportation platform.

Ten of the divine sculptors Ji Shaohao had recruited, along with a dozen others who, though not chosen by Ji Shaohao, had still passed the selection and secured a spot, all stood on the teleportation platform.

Buzz—

Suddenly, a Nirvana King appeared, eyes opening as they tore through the void within the white mist, and the Path of Life and Death descended.

A massive surge of divine energy poured into the teleportation platform.

The teleportation array was instantly activated!

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

Ji Shaohao took a deep breath, and even he couldn’t hide the excitement that spread across his face.

The Qi Tian Divine Pill!

He yearned for this divine pill!

If he could obtain the Qi Tian Divine Pill, he would likely transcend to the Immortal realm before the eighth divine tide ended!

It wasn’t just him; Fuxi and Shijia would likely be after this divine pill as well.

Additionally, the young emperors from the three ancient villages of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would also be fiercely competing for it.

Boom—

The teleportation platform activated, and the power of the Space Path surged.

The power of teleportation surged forth.

Before the teleportation, Li Che left a flying thunder chess piece on the platform, a habit born from his chess master instincts.

The teleportation didn’t last long.

Since they were traveling from the Xuanxiao Heaven to the Taisu Heaven, they needed to cross only a few domain barriers.

Boom—!!

The Space Passage was a kaleidoscope of colors, with streams of light flashing by like a white horse passing through a crevice.

Soon, they arrived at the domain barrier between the Xuanxiao Heaven and the Taisu Heaven!

It seemed like a fortress floating in the void, with countless Space currents constantly battering the ancient fortress!

On the fortress, it seemed as if a vast pair of eyes opened, with countless stars and galaxies swirling within them.

Li Che’s mind flickered, and the Heavenly Chessboard expanded, completely concealing Xixi’s aura.

The will of an Immortal Divine Being swept through!

At each domain barrier, an Immortal Divine Being sat in vigil.

“Is this… Laojun Immortal?”

Li Che asked.

Ji Shaohao turned to look at him and smiled. “Of course not. Laojun Immortal is the supreme Heaven Immortal of our Dark Heavenly Court. This is the Central Heaven Purple Micro Immortal, an Earth Immortal.”

Hearing this, Li Che immediately bowed respectfully, though his heart was deeply impressed by the overall strength of the Dark Heavenly Court.

Earth Immortals and Heaven Immortals—there were indeed many of them.

Whether it was the Dark Heavenly Court, the Mysterious Demon Den, or Black Mount Sumeru, their strength at the Immortal level indeed overwhelmed the Hell Lotus side.

No wonder the three major divine factions had the Hell Lotus under their control; breaking free from this situation was indeed extremely difficult.

The immortal gaze from the fortress was sharp and terrifying.

Neither the young emperor Ji Shaohao nor the Great Immortal Zhao Yuan dared to be disrespectful, facing the Immortal with respectful bows.

Buzz—

When they smoothly passed through the fortress, the void distorted.

They directly ended their Space travel, appearing on a teleportation platform at the foot of the Xuan Mountain in the Taisu Heaven.

“Wow—!!!”

As soon as the intense dizziness from the Space travel faded,

Xixi couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

On the teleportation platform, figures appeared one after another, the fluctuations of the Space Path intertwining as people from various places landed.

Even Li Che couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine at the sight.

There were eighty-one colossal statues standing around the platform, which had a diameter of a hundred miles.

But what made Xixi exclaim wasn’t the teleportation platform.

The platform was located at the peak of Xuan Mountain.

When Xixi opened her eyes, she saw the majestic city opposite, a vast and towering city that resembled a massive tripod!

“This city is called the Doutian Palace. It is where Laojun Immortal hosts the Divine Sculptor Gathering, and it is also one of the three supreme holy cities of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths,” Ji Shaohao explained.

Even Zhao Yuan, a grand divine sculptor, couldn’t hide his awe at the sight of the vast Doutian Palace.

At that moment,

Li Che looked at the Doutian Palace, and the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit in his chest reacted intensely.

In the inner landscape of his mud pill, the Seven-Orifice Lustrous Heart was throbbing violently.

Boom, boom, boom—

Invisible ripples spread, making Li Che’s emotions unable to settle.

There seemed to be something in the Doutian Palace that was attracting the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit!

Moreover…

A faint light glowed from Li Che’s brow.

Then, the Heavenly Chessboard expanded.

Rustle, rustle—

It was as if the sound of chains clashing could be heard.

At the base of a massive pillar reaching to the heavens, countless chains bound a figure.

Countless heavenly thunders rolled, divine flames surged, burning and striking the figure.

The flying thunder chess piece leaped, and the scene it reflected onto the Heavenly Chessboard appeared.

Li Che’s gaze sharpened, and he slowly exhaled a breath heavy with solemnity.

He finally sensed…

The aura of Qi Tian!
