Chapter 571: Qitian Bestows the Primordial Immortal with the Three Dao, the Chess Sage’s Move Calculates the Nuclear-Powered Qitian Armor

Boom!

A powerful aura descended in an instant, the overwhelming pressure of the Nirvana Celestial King pouring out like a sandstorm.

The entire room was enveloped in an indescribable sense of suffocation.

The air inside the room where Li Che stood seemed to freeze, making it difficult to breathe, as if it had been completely solidified.

Countless sword auras rampaged and intertwined, and the Golden Crane King appeared gracefully, with over a hundred sword divine weapons hanging and floating behind him.

Two strands of golden hair fluttered in front of his forehead, his eyes were cold and fierce, and his face devoid of any smile.

The loss of the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff was a massive blow to him.

His anger was uncontrollable, like a volcanic eruption, ready to burst forth at the slightest provocation.

Li Che remained calm inside, but he deliberately showed a look of shock when he saw the Golden Crane King.

Cang Yuan had already bowed his head, trembling all over, not daring to make a move.

He hadn’t expected the Golden Crane King to arrive so quickly.

However, he could understand. Despite the Golden Crane King’s belief that the weapon rack Li Che had carved had nothing to do with the loss of the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff, he was unwilling to miss any opportunity to investigate.

Although the Golden Crane King had probed the weapon rack multiple times and had no suspicions, it was his trust in his Celestial King will.

Still, he had to come and investigate.

Behind the Golden Crane Celestial King were the three young emperors: Ji Shaohao, Shi Shaokai, and Fu Shaoxi. Their expressions were solemn, as they felt the magnitude of the situation.

Ksitigarbha King...

Had he come to Doutian Palace City?

To dare attack the Golden Crane Celestial King and steal the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff?

Truly audacious!

“Ksitigarbha King was always in Yunxiao Village, wasn’t he? It seems our intelligence was faulty. Ksitigarbha King must have left Yunxiao Village long ago... The Quasi-Celestial King in charge didn’t detect a thing.”

Ji Shaohao pondered deeply.

However, it was understandable. It wasn’t easy to completely spy on and restrict a Nirvana Celestial King.

Unless another Nirvana Celestial King was activated.

So, Ji Shaohao hadn’t expected Ksitigarbha King to cause such a massive incident.

“Ksitigarbha King is a divine being of the Lotus Prison faction, so it’s not hard to understand... He might have come to Doutian Palace City to try and rescue Qitian from the hands of Eternal Laojun.”

“But... this is really too difficult.”

Shi Shaokai clasped his hands together and recited softly.

They weren’t concerned about Li Che or Cang Yuan; their focus was on Ksitigarbha King.

Ji Shaohao’s eyes flickered. “It’s impossible... Unless the Lotus Prison faction also has an Eternal Being. Otherwise, a Celestial King-level Ksitigarbha King alone can’t rescue Qitian.”

“Even if he took the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff, what does that matter? A divine weapon can’t compare to an Eternal Being.”

Ji Shaohao’s words were also to exonerate Li Che.

The Golden Crane King’s expression was cold, his eyes shining brightly, his powerful Celestial King will unbridled, sweeping through the entire room.

He intended to search the room thoroughly.

Privacy?

To the Golden Crane King, his current matter was the most important. A mere Divine Sculptor like Li Che had no right to privacy in front of him.

However, after the Celestial King will swept through, there was no significant discovery.

The Golden Crane King’s expression turned dark. He raised his hand, and a resounding sword aura coiled around him. This was the same sword aura that had suppressed and sealed the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff.

Perhaps because it had been tainted by the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff’s aura, he intended to use it for investigation.

However, after the sword aura was released, there was little reaction.

It floated around him like seaweed.

The Golden Crane King sighed softly.

It seemed the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff really had nothing to do with Li Che.

After all, he was just a weapon rack maker; how could he be connected to the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff?

The Golden Crane King glanced at Li Che. “Divine Sculptor Cang Che, I apologize. The loss of the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff has truly left me unable to remain calm.”

Li Che didn’t say anything in response.

The Golden Crane King didn’t stay long, transforming into a burst of sword light and continuing his search throughout the city.

Ji Shaohao, however, chose to stay behind.

Perhaps he wanted to use this opportunity to comfort Li Che and improve their relationship.

Ji Shaohao valued Divine Sculptor Cang Che. After all, it was not easy for the Dark Heavenly Court to produce a talented Divine Sculptor.

This Divine Sculptor might become the next Great Immortal Zhao Yuan, which would be a significant event for the Dark Heavenly Court faction.

And for Ji Shaohao, having a close relationship with a future Great Divine Sculptor would be a tremendous boon.

It would elevate his status within the Dark Heavenly Court.

So, he had to comfort Li Che.

“It’s fine. The loss of a divine weapon is a major event for the Golden Crane Celestial King. I also feel deeply saddened that the divine weapon was lost after using the weapon rack I carved.”

Li Che sighed softly.

When a client uses something you’ve carved, and something bad happens, it’s a significant blow to any sculptor.

Ji Shaohao could understand Li Che's current state of mind.

"Indeed... a Divine Weapon that proves the Dao is enough to drive a cultivator mad."

"Especially for someone like the Golden Crane Heavenly King, who can no longer see a path forward. This is almost his only chance."

Ji Shaohao comforted Li Che for a while, then encouraged him not to be discouraged by this incident. The Immortal Artisan Assembly still needed Li Che to perform well to secure another spot for the Dark Heavenly Court.

Ji Shaohao didn’t stay long in Li Che’s room. After bidding him farewell, he rejoined the search party for the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff.

This incident had mobilized the entire Doutian Palace City. Many Nirvana-stage cultivators, who were usually in seclusion, even came forward to help voluntarily.

Most likely... it was because they coveted the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff.

Before, they might not have known, but now that they knew this Divine Weapon of Qitian was lost in Doutian Palace City, if they found it, they might have a chance to obtain it. At the very least, they could help the Golden Crane King find it...

After that, when these Nirvana-stage cultivators were at a loss, they could come to the Golden Crane Heavenly King to borrow the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff for enlightenment.

The room quickly fell silent again.

"Phew—"

Cang Yuan’s tense body suddenly relaxed, and he slumped to the ground, breathing heavily.

"Truly terrifying. An enraged Nirvana Heavenly King is something we can't resist. It’s too frightening."

Cang Yuan was filled with many emotions.

He had an infinite longing for such a realm and cultivation.

Li Che’s gaze slowly retracted, his expression returning to calm. He stretched lazily, his black robe fluttering, his mind as still as an ancient well.

He didn’t respond to Cang Yuan’s sigh.

Li Che turned and patted Xixi’s head. Xixi looked up at her father, her eyes bright.

She knew very well that the Golden Crane King’s Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff had been lost right after using the weapon stand her father had carved...

How could that be a coincidence?

It was probably her father’s plan!

Xixi’s lips curved into a smile. The Divine Weapon of the Qitian Temple being back in their hands made her feel much better.

She continued to hold the Lesser Saint Divine Essence Crystals her father had earned for her, determined to train and improve her cultivation!

Xixi was very aware of her importance as the daughter of the Lotus of Imprisonment!

Cang Yuan’s expression changed. He wasn’t stupid. Seeing Li Che’s calm and composed demeanor, he couldn’t help but feel a bit suspicious.

Was the loss of the Golden Crane King’s Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff really related to Mr. Li?

...

...

Back in the room.

Li Che raised his hand and touched his brow. The Heaven and Earth Chessboard, which he had previously unsealed, reappeared, spanning between heaven and earth.

He helped Xixi, who was in the middle of cultivation, shield her senses once again.

As for himself, he left behind an Immortal in the Painting avatar, and a black vortex emerged from his back, sweeping him into the City of Ink Purgatory.

Inside the Purgatory.

Ink-colored rain fell continuously.

On the Sovereign Tower, countless black mists swirled, and the ink rain slowly condensed to form the shape of the Sovereign’s avatar.

To use the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Body for the second time, he had to detonate the Sovereign's avatar, and now it needed to be restored.

"The Nirvana Heavenly King... is indeed powerful."

"Only by relying on the Dao Body can I withstand a few blows."

"But I have no ability to engage in a prolonged battle."

Li Che exhaled softly.

Compared to a Nirvana Heavenly King, he still had a gap to bridge.

If he could complete the Immortal Dao and reach the Heaven-Opening Immortal stage, perhaps he could challenge a Heavenly King.

His mind stirred, and a flow of light intertwined before his eyes.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon-Elephant Vajra (LV9, 10%)]

His eyes brightened slightly. The battle had increased the maturity of his Dao Fruit significantly.

Li Che felt that perhaps it was because he used the Immortal Artisan Dao Body to fuse the Primordial Catastrophe Power into a Lotus of Catastrophe, condensing a wisp of Primal Chaos Qi.

"Primal Chaos Qi... seems to be even more powerful than Cosmic Will Power."

Li Che’s mind stirred.

He closed his eyes, and countless images flowed by, recalling that fleeting glimpse of Primal Chaos Qi.

Even a Nirvana Heavenly King was somewhat at a loss when faced with this power.

Unfortunately, the Primal Chaos Qi was too scarce, just a wisp. Otherwise... killing a Nirvana Heavenly King wouldn’t be too difficult.

Boom!

Li Che’s black, sturdy hair danced wildly.

The moment his eyes opened, his spine snapped, like a raging dragon roaring to life.

His mind stirred, stimulating the recently increased maturity of the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.

He converted this maturity into an enlightenment response!

Cultivation!

Li Che directly reversed the divine essence within his body, transforming the divine essence in the Eight Marvelous Door Immortal Seeds into hot, boiling blood.

Dao Union!

Continue the Dao Union!

One by one, rivers of Dao surged and appeared, his black hair fluttering. Under the stimulation of the enlightenment response from the Dao Fruit, Li Che entered a profound state of cultivation!

The Immaculate Heart River of Dao played a lubricating role, merging the other rivers of Dao.

The originally two-colored River of Dao began to try to integrate another river of Dao.

Thud thud thud—

Li Che’s body seemed to be burning, with extreme heat coursing through his muscles. Veins bulged and seemed to surface on his skin.

The Blood surged within him, like the fire of molten lava, roaring and annihilating everything in its path!

Utterly powerful and terrifying!

The third Dao union!

The Mortal Saint Body seemed to ascend to new heights in that moment, as the Dao power brought by the union of Dao continuously enhanced the physical body’s strength!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

In the City of Ink Purgatory.

The black rain was evaporated by the scorching heat, rising and enveloping the heavens and earth in a mist.

After a long while, the intense heat around Li Che gradually subsided.

He opened his eyes, his black hair fluttering in the wind.

His brows furrowed.

"Still a bit short..."

"The path of the Immortal is indeed difficult."

"Union with Dao, truly hard."

Even now, with his martial talent elevated to an extremely terrifying level, Li Che couldn’t help but feel the arduous nature of martial cultivation.

"Although I’ve gained insights from the Dragon-Elephant Vajra... it’s still not enough."

Li Che slowly exhaled.

Union with the third Dao was more challenging than he had imagined, but Li Che wasn’t too disappointed.

After all, he had only just begun his journey in the realm of Dao union.

However, Li Che had an unexpected surprise.

[Dao Fruit: Immaculate Heart (Level 8, 30%)]

The River of the Soul, triggered by the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit, served as a lubricant for the Dao union process. As the union of Dao progressed, the maturity of the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit also increased.

This gave Li Che hope for the seventh transformation of the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit!

Perhaps this was the path to the seventh transformation of the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit.

Li Che continued to perceive the other Dao Fruits.

Many of the Dao Fruits had experienced varying degrees of improvement.

For example, the Chess Sage Dao Fruit, after entering the Palace of the Heavens, saw a significant increase in maturity due to the frequent use of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

The Immortal in the Painting Dao Fruit also benefited from Li Che using the power of his Sovereign incarnation.

Now, Li Che understood that the Dao Fruits were interconnected.

By using the power of one Dao Fruit, he could enhance the maturity of other Dao Fruits.

Whew, whew, whew—

Union with the third Dao was almost successful.

Li Che stretched lazily, causing the entire City of Ink Purgatory to tremble slightly.

[Eight-Nine Mystical Art: Mortal Saint Body (50%)]

With the improvement in Dao union, the progress of the Mortal Saint Body also reached 50%. Now, Li Che’s physical body was even more powerful.

With a single step, Li Che transformed into a wisp of black smoke and reappeared atop the Sovereign Tower.

The wind howled, and the black rain poured down.

Li Che stood tall, like a straight javelin, on the rooftop of the Sovereign Tower.

He spread his fingers wide.

In the next moment—

A sound of breaking air echoed.

The curtain of rain seemed to be torn apart.

The Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff, which had been stored in the City of Ink Purgatory, spun and shot toward him with a whistling sound.

Clang—

Finally, it was firmly grasped in Li Che’s hand.

A terrifying air current descended, causing the raindrops in the sky to explode!

"The Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff."

A smile tugged at the corners of Li Che’s lips, and his mood improved significantly.

He sat cross-legged on the Sovereign Tower, his mind gently probing the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff.

Earlier, he had sensed the lingering will of Qitian within the staff. Now, with the Golden Crane King’s search concluded, he could finally examine what Qitian had left behind.

Buzz—

The Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff trembled, detaching from Li Che’s hand and suspending straight in the air. It then oscillated, transforming into countless smaller versions of itself, circling around Li Che.

From within the countless golden staves, a primordial will flowed out.

Slowly...

It coalesced and wove together into a figure.

It was... Qitian!

Qitian opened his eyes, his radiant gaze shimmering like golden light.

He saw Li Che and smiled softly.

"Old Monkey knew you would reach the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and we would meet again."

Qitian laughed.

Li Che couldn’t help but smile lightly as well.

"Unfortunately, this time, Old Monkey might really be in trouble."

Suddenly, Qitian’s tone shifted, and he said with a hint of regret.

"The Eighth Divine Tide... this time, the Immortals of the three major divine factions have started to use their full strength, aiming to sever the wings of the Lotus Prison Maiden in the Eighth Divine Tide."

"To make her easier to deal with in the Ninth Divine Tide."

"Old Monkey also feels that this time, it might be impossible to escape, so... I left a segment of my primordial will within the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff, waiting for you to trigger it."

Qitian, not tall in stature, strolled across the Sovereign Tower, sitting on the edge and swinging his furry legs.

"This time, Eternal Laojun intends to refine Old Monkey into a Qitian Divine Pill... that old man, he wields the Flame of the Heavens and Earth, one of the most powerful flames in the universe, but Old Monkey can’t withstand it..."

Qitian said.

Li Che was momentarily stunned, his heart sinking.

"Can’t withstand it?"

Qitian lifted his head, his golden eyes meeting Li Che’s with a smile. "Can’t withstand it. After my will descended into this world, it slumbered within the Heavens and Earth Pulse, forming a physical body using its power..."

"That Eternal Laojun seems to have discovered this secret and is using the Flame of the Heavens and Earth to refine Old Monkey..."

"Since the power is of the same origin, Old Monkey can’t withstand it."

Qitian spoke softly.

"In fact, I’m quite curious how Eternal Laojun knew that I, Old Monkey, had condensed my physical body using the essence of the heavens and earth..."

Li Che's eyes narrowed.

He was slightly shaken, not expecting Qitian to be so pessimistic about the current situation.

"No matter... I, Old Monkey, have delayed things long enough."

"If Eternal Laojun wants to refine me, it won’t be an easy task. At the very least, three Heaven Immortals need to keep an eye on me."

"These three Heaven Immortals were all delayed by me. Hehe, I’ve made up for it."

Qitian laughed.

Li Che fell silent, understanding that Qitian was telling the truth.

If the three Heaven Immortals were to free themselves and specifically target the Lotus Daughter, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

Every Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff was trembling.

Qitian looked at Li Che and patted the spot next to him.

Li Che followed Qitian, sitting down on the Overlord Tower, swinging his long legs.

Qitian draped his arm over Li Che’s shoulder. "This incarnation of the Lotus Daughter is different..."

"Whatever you do, don’t let those old timers drag her into the Ninth Divine Tide..."

"During the Eighth Divine Tide, the old folks still have some reservations and won’t go too far. But if the Ninth Divine Tide is initiated by the Lotus Daughter..."

"Once she enters the Ninth Divine Tide, those old timers... will show no mercy, and their methods will be even more ruthless!"

Qitian said, his golden eyes serious.

Li Che understood the implications and nodded solemnly.

Qitian patted Li Che’s shoulder.

"Eternal Laojun is trying to refine me using the essence of the heavens and earth. The same-source power might not be able to withstand it, but their dream of refining the Qitian Divine Pill is just that—a dream."

"I, Old Monkey, have established a connection with most of my primordial power through the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff..."

"Now, the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff shares my primordial power."

Qitian said, his gaze extremely serious as he looked at Li Che.

Li Che was slightly stunned.

"I’m counting on you, Lotus Daughter’s father!"

Qitian grinned.

"With the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff in your hands, only you can sense and refine that primordial power... the more primordial power you sense and refine, the less Eternal Laojun will gain after refining me."

Li Che suddenly understood.

So, this was Qitian’s true intention, the secret hidden within the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff.

Qitian didn’t seem optimistic about his own escape.

And Qitian’s words revealed some secrets to Li Che.

Three Heaven Immortals were suppressing him.

This made Li Che, who had originally wanted to rescue Qitian, feel an overwhelming pressure.

How could he possibly save him?

Three Heaven Immortals...

Li Che already found it difficult to face a Nirvana Heaven King, let alone a Heaven Immortal, who was even higher than a Ground Immortal.

Heaven Immortals were the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, or the highest beings in this world.

Qitian stood up, his body gradually becoming ethereal.

His golden eyes fell on Li Che, deep and filled with surging anticipation.

"An existence that transcends fate, Lotus Daughter’s father, the root of change might lie with you."

Qitian patted Li Che’s shoulder.

Then, he transformed a strand of primordial power, which flowed through the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff into Li Che’s physical body.

Boom—!!!

It was the martial arts primordial power.

As it merged with Li Che’s body, his entire musculature trembled.

The immortal martial art [Victory Over Strife Secret Technique] he had once comprehended from Qitian received a tremendous infusion of perception!

In Li Che’s eyes, it seemed as if Qitian was performing the Victory Over Strife Secret Technique!

It felt like an electric current was coursing through his limbs, stimulating his muscles and bones.

Li Che let out a long, sky-piercing roar.

Ink-black rain exploded, and with a spread of his fingers, millions of golden lights from the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff shot out and were clutched in his palm.

With a mighty sweep, the golden light cascaded like a waterfall!

Standing at the peak of the Overlord Tower, Li Che wielded the treasure staff, shaking the wind and rain, causing the void to rumble and tremble.

Li Che, who had previously only comprehended the ‘Dou’ technique, now successfully comprehended the ‘Zhan’ and ‘Sheng’ techniques as well!

With one staff swing, the sky was filled with rolling shadows, covering everything!

Primordial power surged through his body, spreading into his limbs and bones.

It was a process similar to a grand initiation ceremony.

Li Che closed his eyes, gripping the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff, raising it slowly, pointing it at the sky.

He could sense that the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff seemed to be connected to a primordial space!

It was the place where Qitian had comprehended the essence of the heavens and earth!

He sighed softly.

Although they shared the same primordial power, his current cultivation was not even enough to challenge a Nirvana Heaven King, let alone extract this primordial power.

Boom, boom, boom!

Li Che’s mind stirred slightly.

Before his eyes, streams of light intertwined.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon-Elephant Vajra (Level 9, 20% Complete)]

Hmm?!

Li Che’s eyes lit up.

This strand of primordial power had not only perfected his Victory Over Strife Secret Technique but also significantly increased the maturity of his Dao Fruit!

The boost in Dao Fruit maturity would bring considerable benefits!

"10% enlightenment feedback from the Seven Transcendence Dao Fruit!"

Without any hesitation, Li Che activated it!

He needed to quickly enhance his cultivation and strength, so he couldn’t afford to be frugal!

Boom, boom, boom—

Li Che’s black hair danced wildly, and he shot out like a cannonball, hovering in the air, with a great river of Dao swirling behind him!

Continue the Impact of the Primordial Immortal's Dao Integration!

The Third Dao!

Unite!

Boom—!!!

Under the overwhelming feedback of enlightenment, Li Che's Physical Body trembled as the River of Dao surged!

The Third Dao, which had previously been just short of integration, broke through the barrier and completed the Dao Integration thanks to the enlightenment feedback!

The Third Dao!

The tricolor River of Dao, like a twisted braid, coiled and swirled, dreamlike and ethereal!

The Dragon-Elephant Vajra, the Chess Sage, and the Immortal in the Painting, all three Daos united!

However, Li Che did not pause in his cultivation!

The Fourth Dao!

The Thunder-Magnet Body River of Dao!

Unite!

The River of Dao surged, and the Thunder-Magnet Body's induced Thunder-Magnet River of Dao merged with the three already integrated Daos!

The initial collision emitted a terrifying repelling force!

However, Li Che, now with the power of three integrated Daos, had grown immensely in strength!

He forcefully suppressed the repelling force of the River of Dao!

Sizzle—

Countless thunder eruptions!

Primordial Golden Chaos Lightning danced wildly!

Li Che's powerful will as a Primordial Immortal shook, subduing the River of Dao and achieving the integration of the Fourth Dao!

However, the integration of the Fourth Dao was far more difficult than the previous ones!

Perhaps because he had already integrated three Daos, the Fourth Dao was extremely resistant!

After the enlightenment feedback from the Dao Fruit was completely exhausted…

Li Che barely made a little progress in the Dao Integration process.

"It's getting harder and harder…"

"I need more enlightenment feedback from Dao Fruits. Relying solely on self-enlightenment might take an extremely long time."

Li Che exhaled slowly.

He floated in the air and began to draw on the shared Primordial Power through the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff.

However, Li Che could hardly extract much Power.

Rushing rain poured down from the sky, drenching the ground of Ink City Purgatory, creating a mist of water vapor.

Li Che sat atop the Sovereign City, now with three integrated Daos, pondering how to extract more of Qitian's Primordial Power.

Qitian had given him a chance to extract the Primordial Power, clearly indicating that he could take as much as he could.

The more he took, the less Primordial Power would be left in the Qitian Divine Pill, which Eternal Laojun had refined using the Fire of Heaven and Earth.

So…

How could he extract more Primordial Power?

He raised his hand and touched his forehead.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard shrank and appeared before him.

Li Che picked up a chess piece and placed it on the board, the stars and constellations shining brightly.

He thought deeply while playing the game, trying to find a solution.

Click.

Suddenly.

A chess piece landed on the board.

Li Che's eyebrows raised slightly.

His figure instantly vanished from the Sovereign Tower.

Reappearing, he was already in the square of Ink City Purgatory.

With a thought, a massive object appeared!

It was the Arms-Through Qitian Nirvana Armor!

This armor, enhanced with the Four Ancient Symbols of Heaven and Earth, was intricately crafted and incredibly powerful, reaching a level comparable to Nirvana!

Li Che's eyes glowed with determination.

His mind raced, thoughts swirling like a storm.

It seemed he had an idea, but it was elusive, just out of reach.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard appeared before him.

Li Che began to treat his abilities as chess pieces, laying them out and placing them on the board.

Various Dao Fruit prodigies, Dao inducements, and Dao Chaos abilities were all used as chess pieces, placed on the board.

Suddenly, Li Che's gaze locked onto a particular piece on the board.

It was shining brightly.

"Thunder-Magnet Extreme Pressure!"

"Arms-Through Qitian Nirvana Armor…"

"Immortal Craftsmanship!"

"Guanyin Lotus Bullet…"

"Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff…"

…

Li Che closed his eyes and slowly raised his face.

One hand held a chess piece.

The other hand raised, fingers spread, and the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff whistled through the air, landing with a thud in his grasp.

Rain splashed around him.

Li Che's eyes opened simultaneously.

Thud!

He stomped his foot, and ripples spread out from the ground of Ink City Purgatory.

Holding the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff, Li Che shot up into the air.

The rain in the entire city seemed to freeze and pause at that moment.

He floated at the heart of the Qitian Armor.

His eyes glowed with determination.

He thrust the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff forcefully.

Crack!

It pierced the heart of the Arms-Through Qitian Nirvana Armor!

Then, he pushed with his hand.

Crack, crack, crack—

The Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff continued to penetrate the heart of the Qitian Armor.

Finally…

It fully entered the chest, aligning with the surface of the armor.

Cracks spread like a spider web.

However, Li Che's eyes glowed with determination.

He placed his hand on the round surface of the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Staff.

Thunder-Magnet Extreme Pressure!

Compress!

Absorb!

He began to draw the Primordial Power shared by Qitian, compressing it and gathering it within the Golden Staff.

Through the Dao induction technique of Thunder-Magnet Extreme Pressure, he continuously compressed and gathered the Power…

The Primordial Power was indeed formidable, and Li Che could not refine much of it at the moment.

But he could extract and compress the Power in advance…

And then release it slowly, using it to power the Qitian Armor!

An old term suddenly surfaced in Li Che's mind.

"Nuclear Fusion?"

Li Che smiled lightly.

This was the source of nuclear power!

Thump, thump, thump—

Between Heaven and Earth, the sound of a heart beating, like thunder in the ears!
