Chapter 582: Nuwa Empress Battles Laojun, Qitian Shatters the Killing Formation—Should I Call You Cangzhe or Dizang?
Nuwa Empress?!
The living Dao Guo Owner?
Li Che's heart trembled slightly!
Seeing the familiar figure seated on the Great Dao River, his first thought was of the Dao Guo Owner. After all, he had seen the Dao Guo Owner's figure during the Dao Guo Six Transcendences, and this feeling was too familiar. Li Che couldn't help but think of the Dao Guo Owner.
However, he never expected to encounter Nuwa Empress in such a manner!
What was even more surprising to Li Che was that Qitian's words were true—Nuwa Empress had indeed taken action!
Why?
Li Che couldn't fathom it, and he was instantly overwhelmed by deep confusion.
Nuwa Empress was one of the Three Sovereigns of the Mystic Cavern, a Heavenly Immortal. Her immense power and revered status made her a rare sight for ordinary people.
Yet, she had taken action for Li Che?
What could be the reason?
Li Che couldn't figure it out. His most recent encounter with Nuwa Empress was when he deciphered the divine ox sculpture she had carved, from which he saw the image of the divine ox and subsequently carved the statue of Nuwa Empress!
That was all, his most recent contact.
Of course...
There was one slightly extra thing: after deciphering the statue of Nuwa Empress, Li Che reached out and touched it...
He just touched it a few more times...
But touching a statue was a basic operation for any divine sculptor. Which divine sculptor didn't touch their work, feeling the texture and craftsmanship with their heart?
Could this alone have anything to do with Nuwa Empress?
While Li Che was still baffled, Qitian seized the opportunity to act.
The Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff burst with Qitian's innate essence, which he had infused into the staff, elevating its rank far beyond its original level.
Qitian ignored the Laojun Immortal, whose imposing aura dominated the entire Celestial Heaven.
The long staff swept across, shattering the Southern Heaven, aiming directly at the three Earthly Immortals who formed the shocking killing formation, intent on breaking their blockade!
In fact, the moment Qitian broke out of the furnace, he had already determined his plan for breaking through.
Qitian knew that it was impossible to slaughter his way through this battle.
The opposing lineup was formidable: one Heavenly Immortal and three Earthly Immortals. Even if Qitian were at his peak, and even if the Third Prince Nezha were also at his peak, they would still struggle to overpower them.
Moreover, there was Li Che and the Prison Lotus Daughter.
Qitian also sensed the presence of Xixi and nearly cursed as he swung the Golden Hoop Staff.
This father of the Prison Lotus was truly bold!
To bring the Prison Lotus Daughter to such a place!
He must have been extremely confident in his ability to conceal her presence!
However, it seemed that Li Che had indeed hidden the Prison Lotus Daughter's aura and identity very well, without exposing her!
Qitian couldn't help but whistle in admiration. Impressive! No wonder he was the father of the Prison Lotus—truly impressive!
Such a cunning tactic was truly invincible!
Qitian admitted he couldn't match it. He was a person who couldn't hide; once he appeared, he would be dazzling!
Boom!
Qitian's body was enveloped in flames, his fur flying, and his eyes glowing like the sun!
Two beams of golden light shot out like sharp arrows, aiming at one of the Earthly Immortals!
They were dazzling, piercing through the void!
The Qitian Armor, with its intricate patterns and four ancient runes, shone brilliantly, as if invoking the Will of Heaven and Earth!
Qitian felt an unprecedented sense of freedom and exhilaration!
This Qitian Armor was unexpectedly useful for him.
It seemed to merge him with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a true source of the Dao!
Originally, Qitian, though he had used the power of the Heavenly Pulse to form his immortal body, always felt a sense of rejection and obstruction.
But now, after burning his Heavenly Pulse body and fusing with the Qitian Armor, he felt a sense of liberation, as if he had found himself again!
"Ha ha ha!"
"Awesome!"
Qitian laughed, his Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff blooming with countless stick flowers, his body suddenly towering and majestic, his aura vast and deep!
The fire of the Heavenly Pulse burned fiercely, and the ancient Heaven and Earth runes on it emitted brilliant light, pushing Qitian's innate essence to its limit!
At this moment, Qitian seemed to be the true Warrior Saint reborn, his fighting spirit surging and exalted!
With a single somersault, he tore through the sky, creating a rift, shattering the brilliant Divine Light, and charging toward one of the Earthly Immortals, who was stunned by Nuwa Empress's appearance!
The Earthly Immortal, overcome by a sudden sense of danger, immediately reacted, roaring in fury. The figure who had been seated in the void could no longer remain calm.
He abruptly rose, summoning a divine weapon, and the powerful immortal essence gushed forth.
He alerted the other two Earthly Immortals to wake up and activate the killing formation!
Mighty divine light surged forth, instantly engulfing Qitian in a radiant glow.
However, the staff shadow swept out, resonating with a metallic sound. The long staff shattered the sky, continuously hammering with an overwhelming ferocity, causing black spatial rifts to tear open in the void!
"Madness!"
The powerful immortal wills of the three Earthly Immortals trembled, as if a terrifying entity had roared from the depths of the void!
Qitian was truly fighting with everything he had, risking everything!
At this moment, Qitian was truly formidable. The oppressive power of peak Qitian was nearly at its peak, rivaling the terrifying combat strength of a Heavenly Immortal!
At this moment, Qitian was almost invincible!
He fought fiercely, aiming to shatter the immortal formation with sheer force!
The many cultivators who had been stunned by Li Che’s summoning of the Great Dao River, where a powerful woman sat atop the river, extending a palm as white as jade to knock away Laojun’s Adamantine Chisel, all snapped back to their senses!
The aftershocks of the battle spread out in ripples, exploding deep within Tianhuan Palace City!
Shaojia and Fuxiao, the two Young Emperors, felt their bodies struggling to stay steady, their faces pale with extreme discomfort, sensing an overwhelming pressure.
This was the pressure brought by peak Qitian; even a mere wisp of his aura was enough to make them lose the courage to watch the battle with their heads held high.
Shaojia clasped his palms together, his eyes blazing with fire, the cicada patterns blooming, as he stared intently at the scene.
He directly abandoned the maintenance of the Arrayed Alchemical Formation.
It was pointless.
Because even the Tianhuan Furnace had been kicked over by Qitian, making it impossible to continue the divine pill refinement in the short term.
Laojun would need to resolve the current situation before he could continue the alchemical process. Even if he managed to suppress Qitian again, they would have to start from scratch!
So, maintaining the formation at this moment was meaningless!
Fuxiao, on the other hand, was trembling uncontrollably, losing all composure as a Young Emperor, almost collapsing to the ground.
He was utterly terrified and incredulous, raising his head to look at the Great Dao River floating behind Dizang.
It was as if he saw a figure that should not have appeared there, even though it was just a wisp of energy. This was an existence that was already incredibly inconceivable!
The demonic aura within Fuxiao boiled, trembled, and was filled with terror, causing an endless fear to rise in his heart!
What in the world was this?!
"Nuwa Empress...?!"
Fuxiao’s eyes were filled with disbelief and a hint of pain!
Nuwa Empress... why would she appear behind Dizang?
The existence he revered and admired so deeply, how could she stand behind the scoundrel who had stolen his Dao weapon?
Even helping Dizang block Laojun’s powerful strike?
Fuxiao felt as if the object of his admiration had been utterly shattered.
Nuwa Empress?!
Although the figure seated within the Great Dao River behind Li Che was somewhat blurry, the aura was too familiar to the gods present, not at all strange!
One of the three emperors of the Mystic Cavern, one of the three major divine factions... Nuwa Empress!
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
The Adamantine Chisel, which had been knocked away, oscillated in the void.
"Roar!"
It was as if a prehistoric ancient beast had emitted an extremely furious roar, terrifying and soul-shattering.
Shattering the void, it shot back from the ruptured space.
It was the rapid rotation of the Adamantine Chisel, emitting a sound like a fierce beast’s roar!
Laojun, seated high in the heavens, seemed to grow countless times larger in that moment.
His eyes opened and closed, with boundless divine light swirling behind him, radiating a brilliance of ten thousand rays!
Nuwa Empress?
Laojun’s eyes narrowed, as if the stars in his deep gaze were continuously collapsing and disintegrating.
He naturally recognized Nuwa Empress, and even he felt a sense of shock. Why would it be Nuwa Empress?
The key was... why would Nuwa Empress act at this moment?
As the Demon Emperor of the Mystic Cavern faction, why would she stand on the side of the Prison Lotus faction?
This was something Laojun found very perplexing.
Qitian, the demon monkey, and now Dizang, were undoubtedly strong figures in the Prison Lotus faction. Nuwa Empress’s intervention on Dizang’s behalf clearly indicated her stance, aligning herself with the Prison Lotus faction.
"Nuwa Empress... you are committing a grave taboo!"
Although Laojun was surprised, his voice remained steady, like a seasonal wind sweeping across the Nine Heavens.
Behind Li Che, the Great Dao River rose up, and the Heavenly Will Guillotine cleaved through the heavens and earth. The fifth Ancient Heaven and Earth Rune, which had just formed, pulsed incessantly, as if the Nuwa Empress was using this power to descend.
"To me, what in this world is taboo?"
A graceful figure sat atop the Great Dao River, facing the Heavenly Immortal Laojun's questioning, and she smiled lightly, her voice tinged with a hint of indifference.
Despite her nonchalance and calm demeanor, the domineering will within her surged like rolling thunder.
How domineering!
This was truly a being who stood at the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
Nothing could shake her resolve.
"Is this the will of the Mystic Cavern, or merely your own, Nuwa Empress?"
Laojun raised his five fingers, and the Adamantine Chisel spun in his palm, continuously revolving with a brilliant silver glow, causing the surrounding space to collapse.
This was a Heavenly Immortal Artifact personally refined by Laojun, with an extremely terrifying power!
"If this is the will of the Mystic Cavern, does it mean that the three major divine factions of the Mystic Caverns wish to ignite a war of the gods in this eighth God Tide?"
Laojun's voice grew stern.
"It has nothing to do with the Mystic Cavern; it is the will of this Empress."
Nuwa Empress smiled lightly.
Laojun's voice took on a note of helplessness, and his attitude seemed to soften.
"Nuwa Empress, this is a dead end. Standing with the Prison Lotus faction will place you under the encompassing will of Heaven and Earth, sealing your destiny to end in this lifetime. If your Immortal Dao body is severed, you can only be reborn as a temple deity, with no chance of transcending."
Laojun's voice was full of admonition, trying to persuade Nuwa Empress to turn back.
However, Nuwa Empress did not say much.
She slowly rose to her feet on the Great Dao River that surged behind Li Che, her legs as white and pure as the finest jade, and took a step forward into the void.
Ripples spread through the void.
"There is no need for more words. Today, I will take action, so what if I do?"
"Why?!"
Laojun clenched his five fingers around the Adamantine Chisel and spoke in a deep voice.
The change in his emotions caused the entire realm of Tianhuan City to undergo a dramatic transformation!
"There is no why."
Nuwa Empress said calmly, clenching her fingers. Instantly, a razor-sharp sword whistled out of her palm.
Laojun's white hair flew, his robe billowing, as he sat in the void, his presence as vast as a ten-thousand-foot true form, his face showing a hint of regret.
"Such a pity... Nuwa Empress."
As his words ended, the Adamantine Chisel was hurled out.
With a hum, it transformed into thousands of silver Adamantine Chisels, covering the sky and raining down on Nuwa Empress and Li Che!
However, Nuwa Empress, holding the sword, was indifferent and lightly swung it forward.
A light barrier appeared in the void, enveloping Li Che, who wore a white jade mask.
Then, she thrust her sword, as if terrifying great Dao rules were hanging upside down.
The countless Adamantine Chisels were enveloped by the barrier.
It felt like a single force breaking through all others!
Laojun pulled up his sleeve with one hand and pressed down with the other.
Boom—!!
The Adamantine Chisel trembled, the terrifying brilliance like a vast array of luminous stars in the cosmic void.
They fell rapidly, like meteors streaking across the sky, filled with immense impact.
The void barrier was torn apart, and they fell, trailing flames!
It was a scene of apocalyptic destruction!
Everyone looked up at the sky, their bodies trembling, suppressed by the terrifying Immortal Aura of Power, unable to even muster the courage to fight.
Boom!
The terrifying pressure was like stars about to collide with the planet they depended on for survival!
Li Che, wearing a white jade mask, raised his head, feeling his own insignificance at that moment!
Insignificance before a true Heavenly Immortal!
Even a Martial Arts Heavenly Immortal might not be able to withstand such power!
"Little one, I will borrow your strength."
"Facing this old man directly is indeed strenuous for a manifestation."
A gentle and elegant voice echoed in Li Che's ear, like a soft breeze whispering beside him.
Li Che's body tingled, the fine hairs on his powerful Mortal Saint body standing on end.
Such an existence, with every movement as natural as water, even her allure was impossible to resist.
"What assistance does Senior need?"
Li Che quickly clasped his fists, suppressing the inappropriate emotions in his heart, and asked in a deep voice.
However, as his words ended, he faintly heard a light, delicate laugh.
Li Che didn't know what it was laughing at.
"Borrow the Gathering Immortal Banner and some demonic qi. I know you have it."
"To defeat this old man, unless I come in person, I can only buy time and create an opportunity for you, Qitian, and Xixi to escape."
A calm voice echoed.
Suddenly.
A Dao Core in Li Che's chest throbbed.
In the next instant, the Myriad Demon Emperor Dao Core vibrated, and the demonic qi it had accumulated surged out like a river, enveloping the entire Great Dao River behind Li Che.
The ethereal figure of Nuwa Empress, with skin as fair as jade, gently raised her delicate hand.
Instantly, the banners fluttered!
Three Gathering Immortal Banners shot out with a whistling sound!
The yellow, black, and earth banners—these were the three banners Li Che had gathered in the mortal world. They erupted forth at this moment.
However, the appearance of these three banners did not draw anyone's attention.
They simply embedded themselves behind the ethereal figure of Nuwa Empress, stabilizing her form as the banners waved.
Boom!
An endless surge of demonic energy erupted, transforming into a colossal serpent that roared forth. With a long, piercing cry, it forcibly sent all the Adamantine Chisels flying back!
"Nuwa Empress, let us take our battle to the depths of the chaotic void."
Laojun Immortal glanced at the cultivators in Tianhuan Palace City, who could not withstand the Aura of Power of a Heavenly Immortal, and at the city that was on the verge of shattering. He spoke in a solemn voice.
"Very well."
Nuwa Empress smiled, her exquisite, fair feet stepping onto the head of the colossal serpent. In an instant, she shattered the void and disappeared with Laojun Immortal, their destination unknown.
The Aura of Power of a Heavenly Immortal instantly dissipated, lifting the heavy burden from everyone's hearts.
Everyone began to breathe heavily, gasping for air.
On the other side,
Qitian swung his Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff with unparalleled ferocity, the fire of the world’s veins blazing fiercely as he faced three opponents alone!
The killing formation was shattered by the force of his attack, the sound of it disintegrating echoing through the void!
The three Earthly Immortals were now being held back by the peak Qitian!
In his current state, clad in Qitian Armor, Qitian had recovered his peak strength and was even overwhelming the three Earthly Immortals!
The shadows of his staff movements overlapped, causing the void itself to groan under the strain!
Laojun Immortal was restrained by Nuwa Empress.
The three Earthly Immortals were being held back by Qitian.
The situation suddenly became clear.
"Ksitigarbha!!"
A voice, cold to the bone, echoed through the air!
A loud, resounding crane cry pierced the sky as the Golden Crane King's golden wings sliced through the air, like countless sword beams, clanging with a resounding sound!
The eyes of the Golden Crane King and Nirvana Sky King were brimming with endless sword qi.
He stepped through the void, his gaze coldly locking onto Ksitigarbha.
On the other side, the other four Nirvana Sky Kings also crossed over from the inner city, their gazes cold and calculating.
The primordial will of the Sky Kings spread out, sealing off all the surrounding void around Ksitigarbha!
Li Che, wearing a white jade mask, his black robe fluttering in the wind, his golden hair dancing wildly, his gaze indifferent, swept over the scene with a sense of intense gravity.
Although Qitian was holding back the three Earthly Immortals and Nuwa Empress was restraining Laojun Immortal...
The situation was still far from favorable.
Five Nirvana Sky Kings were sealing off the void, pressing forward with overwhelming force.
Suddenly,
From below,
the sound of Buddhist chants and the magnificent cicada cries of ancient golden cicadas echoed through the air!
In the next moment,
Shaojia, with his palms pressed together, sharply pushed off the ground.
His body leaned forward, transforming into a streak of golden light. In an instant, he appeared beside the figure who was still steadfastly holding the first position in the Arrayed Alchemical Formation!
It was the side of the sovereign avatar left by Li Che!
The sovereign avatar narrowed his eyes, about to speak.
A gigantic Buddha figure twisted and appeared behind Shaojia, golden cicadas roaring, the terrifying sound waves causing a bone-chilling cold to seep into the soul!
An Immortal Will burst forth from Shaojia.
Golden Cicada Sound Kill!
An Immortal-level force!
Shaojia unleashed his ultimate Immortal-level power, aiming for a one-hit kill, unwilling to prolong the conflict!
The powerful Immortal-level force instantly swept over the sovereign avatar.
Li Che's gaze swept over the scene, perhaps not expecting Shaojia to actually attack the sovereign avatar!
Bang!
The sovereign avatar exploded!
Shaojia's eyes immediately lit up.
He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the rolling black mist left by the exploding avatar, and fixed on Ksitigarbha.
"Indeed... this Immortal Hand, Cangzhe, is problematic!"
"Should I call you Immortal Hand Cangzhe, or Dizang?"
At the same time,
In the inner city of Tianhuan City,
Ji Shaohao's powerful divine consciousness perceived the situation deep within the city.
The moment he sensed the Immortal Hand Cangzhe being shattered by Shaojia and Shaojia revealing that Cangzhe was Ksitigarbha...
Ji Shaohao's eyes narrowed sharply.
A powerful aura erupted from him, completely freezing the space on the city walls.
His gaze swept over the scene and landed on Xi Xi, who was wearing a calf mask.
If Immortal Hand Cangzhe was Ksitigarbha...
Who was this little girl?
Could she be...
Prison Lotus Daughter?!
