Chapter 588: A Grand Escape with Blade Against Laojun - Nuwa's Gaze Resembles Xixi's Mother [Requesting Monthly Tickets]

Swish, swish...

The Heaven-Equaling Origin seemed to transform into a genuine Long River. After Li Che mastered the Heaven-Equaling Armor, the Heaven-Equaling Origin was entirely at his disposal, and the overwhelming power truly stunned him.

Faced with such a level of power, Li Che felt his Harmonized Dao Immortal cultivation become incredibly insignificant. Indeed, these were forces on entirely different levels, and the gap was vast.

In his chest, the Dao Fruits seemed to awaken, exulting and rejoicing as if they were excited and eager for the sudden surge of power!

Of course, this was ultimately the power of the Heaven-Equaling Origin.

It was just that Li Che was now the one controlling it.

The Origin was the core, the Heaven-Equaling Armor was the outer shell, and the five revolving Heaven-Earth Ancient Talismans on the armor were the true source that created this moment of the Heaven-Equaling Armor's power.

Buzz—

The Heaven-Equaling Armor emitted an intense, brilliant light, and its eyes blazed like flowing fire, as if they had been tempered for ages in the Encompassing Heaven Furnace, creating eyes that could see through all illusions!

Laojun Immortal's gaze was profound and indifferent as he swept his eyes over the scene. Something was off with the Heaven-Equaling Armor at this moment.

As if he had seen through the secrets of the Heaven-Equaling Armor, a hint of surprise flickered in Laojun Immortal's eyes.

"Completely integrating the power of the Heaven-Equaling Origin into this mechanical armor... it can actually restore the Heaven-Equaling Origin's power to its peak level?"

"The art of mechanics has truly reached a level unmatched in the world!"

Laojun Immortal marveled.

In his view, this was indeed incredible, giving the Heaven-Equaling Origin a new lease on life and reinvigorating its peak power!

Despite the limitations, it was undoubtedly the best way for a being that once rivaled a Heavenly Immortal, after falling multiple times and being reduced to a weakened temple deity, to rise again.

"But... that's all."

Laojun Immortal's gaze grew indifferent, and he no longer cared who was controlling the Heaven-Equaling Armor at this moment.

Even if the Heaven-Equaling Origin itself controlled the armor, it couldn't escape his suppression and constraints. How could anyone else possibly break free?

Boom!

The Encompassing Heaven Swipe unfurled, transforming into a white dragon that roared once more.

This time, Laojun Immortal held nothing back. At this point, he was also somewhat angry.

In the sky, countless explosions resounded, and the void shattered, spreading a terrifying aura!

Li Che familiarized himself with the power of the Heaven-Equaling Armor. The surging power made him feel an urge to unleash it!

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The five Heaven-Earth Ancient Talismans on the Heaven-Equaling Armor arranged themselves according to the Eight Gates in an instant!

Then, Li Che activated them!

Roar—!

The Heaven-Equaling Armor seemed to let out a long, sky-piercing roar, its surface glowing brightly and trembling as if its muscles were bulging!

Dao Fruits, Dragon-Elephant Vajra!

Li Che's eyes blazed with fervent battle intent, and he stomped his foot, unleashing a boundless river of qi and blood!

With the augmentation from the Heaven-Equaling Origin, the Martial Arts River seemed to span the heavens and earth!

The golden qi and blood instantly engulfed the sky, as if illuminating the entire Primal Heaven. The scene was extremely awe-inspiring, with the river rolling and surging, and an ancient being seemed to rise from it, roaring through the ancient times, shattering the stars!

Inside the Encompassing Heaven Palace City.

Fu Shaoxi and Shi Shaojia, along with the other young emperors, were deeply shaken. Many deities felt as if the world had lost its color.

Only the golden qi and blood filled the heavens!

Is this a Martial Art?!

This is a Martial Art!

Li Che's eyes shone brightly, and his Martial Immortal will vibrated, burning brightly under the enhancement of the Heaven-Equaling Origin.

He aimed to overwhelm the entire Primal Heaven, as if five great suns were hanging in the sky!

Facing the white dragon transformed from the Encompassing Heaven Swipe, Li Che, controlling the Heaven-Equaling Armor, leaned forward and pressed down. Immediately, all the air currents and void turbulence in the vast sky were forcibly pushed aside and compressed!

He suddenly thrust out a punch, and an unprecedentedly terrifying force erupted!

With this one punch, the Myriad Transformations Dragon-Elephant Cauldron!

The golden qi and blood river split into two, and an ancient dragon and a demon elephant emerged from it, clashing fiercely with the white dragon!

As Li Che controlled the Heaven-Equaling Armor, he flicked it, and in the instant the dragon and elephant blocked the white dragon,

he took a heavy step, and a chessboard seemed to expand beneath his feet. With a rumble, it was as if countless stars were revolving on it!

Sage of Go Dao Fruit!

Heavenly Earth Chessboard!

With a single thought, space seemed to lose its meaning!

In the blink of an eye, Li Che, controlling the Heaven-Equaling Armor, shot out like a bent bow, tearing through the void on the Heavenly Earth Chessboard, creating a vast abyss that shattered the sky!

In an instant, Li Che appeared right before the Immortal Laojun’s face!

A terrifying gust of wind from his punch blew across Laojun’s beard and hair!

However, Laojun’s eyes showed no ripples, not the slightest bit of surprise. With a seal in hand to suppress Nuwa Sovereign, he gently pushed forward, as if an invisible wall had materialized, blocking Li Che, who was clad in the Heaven-Equaling Armor!

The punch landed, smashing down!

Thud!

The fist hit the invisible wall, as if it had frozen time and space!

From a distance, it seemed as though the fist and Laojun’s seal hand had collided.

The endless void exploded, the space around them continuously collapsing, and a mighty surge of destructive energy scattered in all directions!

"Even Qitian controlling this armor couldn’t do anything to me, what makes you think you can?"

Laojun said calmly.

The distinct style made Laojun guess that the one controlling the mechanical armor was no longer Qitian.

His words carried a hint of coldness.

Li Che’s eyes narrowed, feeling an unimaginable, immeasurable pressure.

It was as if all the void behind Laojun had suddenly descended, an incomparable weight that shook Li Che’s heart!

At the same time.

The distant void exploded.

The Heavenly Tower burst forth in radiant light, speeding toward Li Che in the Heaven-Equaling Armor. The three Earth Immortals also emerged from the depths of the void, their powerful Earth Immortal origins wreaking havoc in the heavens and earth.

The battle seemed to have fallen into an irreversible situation.

Inside the Heaven-Equaling Armor, Cangyuan, Cangche, and Xixi felt as if they were suffocating. The situation made their hearts constrict. They could feel the terrifying collisions inside the inner cabin of the armor. If not for Qitian’s will protecting them, they might have been completely annihilated by the force!

Li Che clenched his fingers into a fist, his spine tensing, and he pushed the Eight-Nine Mystical Arts to their limit.

The Mystic Gate Immortal Martial Arts were fully stimulated!

The Heavenly Earth Chessboard expanded, enveloping Laojun, as if he were sitting at a star position.

"Let me show you... the true Thunder!"

Boom—!!!

Black and white chess pieces, like stars, floated around him.

As Li Che clenched his fist.

His figure instantly moved, shifting across the Heavenly Earth Chessboard, appearing at the farthest star position diagonally opposite Laojun’s position.

Laojun, with a seal in hand, frowned slightly.

He felt a bit strange, but that was all.

He pressed down the seal, and the distant will of Nuwa began to impact the prison created by the Vajra Seal!

Repressing Nuwa, who had been trying to break free!

"Planning to escape?"

"Where do you think you can run?"

Laojun’s eyes were cold and indifferent, and he spread his fingers, ready to grab the Heaven-Encompassing Swipe.

However...

Li Che did not escape!

Buzz—

A star river seemed to suddenly appear on the chessboard!

It connected the two star positions!

Li Che, clad in the Heaven-Equaling Armor, with a golden wheel behind him, instantly moved from another star position, rushing forward at an extreme speed.

This made Laojun slightly surprised.

He pushed out a palm, and the heavens and earth solidified again.

Thud!

Li Che’s punch smashed into it again, the terrifying shock wave spreading, and the solidified void, like a massive mirror, blocked Li Che’s fierce punch!

The Golden Light of the Long River Martial Arts danced behind Li Che, clad in the Heaven-Equaling Armor.

Feeling the Heaven-Equaling Origin continuously boiling and consuming, Li Che’s eyes narrowed again!

Buzz—

Another white chess piece disappeared.

It reappeared at a distant star position!

Clenched, he pushed his fist!

The abyss drawn on the chessboard seemed to become a vacuum zone.

As Li Che charged, his speed reached its peak!

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

Li Che moved continuously in the vacuum zone, advancing relentlessly.

Jumping and pulling between star positions!

Each time his fist struck the mirror-like surface of the solidified void that Laojun had pushed out, he returned to a star position with a Thunder Chess Piece, accelerating again!

Each movement increased his speed to an extremely terrifying degree!

In the end, Li Che felt the Heaven-Equaling Armor was almost unable to bear the force at this moment.

It seemed to surpass the speed of light!

If he accelerated further, the Heaven-Equaling Armor might disintegrate!

Then, Li Che’s punch changed.

Buzz, a loud explosion!

A Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Blade appeared in Li Che’s hand.

Boom!

The Heaven-Earth Five Talisman Blade!

The Heaven-Equaling Origin boiled wildly!

With a speed surpassing light, he unleashed this strike!

"Slash!"

The blade struck the incredibly resilient void wall in front of Laojun!

The void space emitted a clear sound, and in an instant, countless spider-web-like cracks spread, expanding as if it were about to shatter completely!

Shattered?!

Everyone's eyes widened in shock, their hearts trembling with a profound sense of horror!

The three Earth Immortals who were watching the battle took a deep breath!

The divine secret art of the Laojun Immortal, a power almost indistinguishable from the very fabric of the universe, had actually been cleaved apart!

It was truly inconceivable!

Even the will of Nuwa Sovereign, suppressed by the Vajra Seal, couldn't help but reveal a glint of admiration.

Impressive indeed!

Laojun Immortal felt the rift in space and time pass by his cheek, the Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Blade ringing with a resounding clang. The blade vibrated hundreds of times in an instant, slicing straight toward his face!

A razor-sharp force broke through the defenses, as if it were about to sever his head.

However, despite the overwhelming power of this strike, Laojun Immortal's eyes, though filled with admiration, showed no real concern.

Like an ancient, unmovable mountain, he remained steadfast, unmoved even by the power of five Heaven-Earth Ancient Talismans contained within the blade.

"Very well."

"Your blade..."

"Ksitigarbha? You must be the Three-Eyed Marvelous Dao Manifestation Sovereign from the Lotus Prison?"

Laojun Immortal's deep gaze met the figure beneath the blazing eyes of the Heaven-Equaling Armor.

His words sent ripples through the hearts of many in the Encompassing Heaven Palace City.

Even the three Earth Immortals far away were startled.

The Three-Eyed Marvelous Dao Manifestation Sovereign?

Qitian, Third Prince, and now the Three-Eyed Marvelous Dao Manifestation Sovereign... The Lotus Prison Trinity has gathered in full! Could the Eighth Divine Tide truly be coming to an end?!

However, Li Che showed no intention of responding to Laojun Immortal's guess.

He continued to strike with his long blade.

But as Laojun Immortal changed his hand seals, the surrounding space seemed to be sealed by massive walls.

Li Che's lips curled into a slight smile.

He abruptly drew his blade!

Buzz—

He was using the same trick again!

This time, however, Li Che didn't choose to teleport back to his corresponding star position.

Instead, he retreated from the star position where Laojun Immortal stood, bursting forth at a speed that seemed to surpass the speed of light.

He streaked across the Heavenly Earth Chessboard, leaving a deep, gaping scar in its wake!

The immense speed behind him propelled Li Che's blade, making it a breathtaking sight.

The Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Blade, infused with the power of the Heaven-Earth Five Talisman Blade, emitted a thunderous hum!

The blade light slashed through the air, whistling through the heavens!

Tear!

The white dragon formed by the Heaven-Encompassing Swipe, which was facing off against the dragon-elephant from Li Che's Martial Arts Long River, was instantly split in two by the blade light!

Li Che's speed remained unimpeded.

He struck the newly resealed boundary of the Encompassing Heaven Palace City with force!

The impenetrable boundary exploded under the force of the strike!

A brilliant blade light illuminated the heavens and the senses of all present!

Boom—

The Heavenly Earth Chessboard vanished, returning to Li Che's forehead.

Li Che, clad in Heaven-Equaling Armor, unleashed a terrifying burst of Heaven-Equaling Origin energy. Billions of radiant lights erupted, propelling his body like a cannonball.

He burst through the Encompassing Heaven Palace City's seal!

Only now did everyone realize what had happened!

The space around Laojun Immortal, frozen and as solid as a mountain, remained untouched.

But Li Che's target had changed; he didn't engage Laojun Immortal in combat at all!

His original goal was not to fight Laojun but to break the deadlock!

Boom—

The three Earth Immortals approached with heavy steps, their faces grim. Their sword artifacts clanged, and divine sword lights filled the heavens.

"This Three-Eyed Manifestation Sovereign is truly cunning!"

One of the Earth Immortals said angrily.

Laojun Immortal's gaze hardened, and he flicked his sleeve, causing the frozen space-time to shatter.

"Indeed, cunning."

"But he won't escape."

Laojun said calmly.

He sat up, slowly standing and taking a step forward.

The Vajra Seal clanged continuously, suppressing the will of Nuwa Sovereign, tearing through space and plunging into the endless turbulence.

...

...

Li Che, clad in Heaven-Equaling Armor, burned with powerful origin energy.

His speed reached its peak, breaking through space and entering the void. He instantly set up a teleportation array, warping through the void!

He entered the teleportation channel.

Boom—

Within the teleportation channel, a barrier seemed to block his path.

A powerful Immortal Will descended instantly!

"Think you can escape?!"

In the domain barrier of the Primal Heaven, an Earth Immortal materialized!

He unleashed a terrifying attack, as if a massive hand were covering the sky, striking out and instantly multiplying into countless hands, sealing every part of the void.

Li Che, clad in Heaven-Equaling Armor, his eyes narrowing, swung the Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Blade with force. The remaining power of the Nine Symbols of Heaven and Earth Blade still erupted.

This was likely the only chance to recklessly wield the power of the Heaven-Equaling Origin!

Allowing someone to freely use the Immortal Origin was no small matter for the Immortal itself!

So, this time, Li Che wielded it recklessly.

Of course, it was also possible that the influence of the Heaven-Equaling Origin had made Li Che's fighting will incredibly strong!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Blades slashed!

Palms exploded, and the Earth Immortal guarding this Heavenly Domain’s barrier, upon sensing the aura of the Heaven-Equaling Armor, decided to try defending!

The Earth Immortal's expression changed slightly.

So fierce?!

Isn't Heaven-Equaling supposed to be a temple deity? How can he burst out with such power?

Is this the peak of Heaven-Equaling?!

The Earth Immortal, stationed here, was unaware of what had happened in the Encompassing Heaven Palace City.

Seeing Heaven-Equaling charge over, he assumed Heaven-Equaling had escaped from the Myriad Transformations Dragon-Elephant Cauldron and was planning to curry favor with the Immortal Laojun.

But he never expected Heaven-Equaling to be so fierce!

The Earth Immortal's expression changed, and he clapped his hands.

Instantly, a massive gate appeared, transforming into a colossal fortress that pressed down on the Heaven-Equaling Armor!

Li Che remained unfazed, his blade sweeping out to unleash the full force of the strike!

His speed had already slowed, and the power of the blade naturally decreased significantly!

The entire fortress shook, a massive, fierce crack appearing on its surface, cleaving a path through it!

Li Che, clad in the Heaven-Equaling Armor, radiated like a blazing Great Sun, ready to leap through the fissure!

The Earth Immortal dared not block him any further!

This was the peak of Heaven-Equaling!

A being on par with a Heavenly Immortal, capable of slaying an Earth Immortal!

He didn’t want to become another Immortal to be sacrificed in this world's Divine Tide!

He had already tried to block, but failed.

Boom—

Li Che, enveloped in the Heaven-Equaling Armor, charged through the broken gate.

He streaked through the void, heading toward the original teleportation point.

Inside the inner cabin of the Heaven-Equaling Armor.

Li Che relaxed slightly, his tense mind finally easing, and he exhaled softly.

Cang Yuan and Cang Che, the two gods from Canglan Ancient Village, collapsed to the ground, cold sweat pouring out.

Xi Xi, however, jumped for joy, bouncing happily.

Daddy is amazing!

The inner cabin was instantly filled with a wave of joy!

It was truly unbelievable!

To successfully escape from the hands of so many Immortals, turning a certain death into a miraculous escape!

And among these Immortals was the Immortal Laojun, one of the highest-ranking Heavenly Immortals!

Standing at the true peak of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, overlooking all living beings, a terrifying existence!

To escape such a situation was simply incredible!

Hum—

Suddenly.

The will of Heaven-Equaling revived, forming into a figure of Heaven-Equaling, his eyes narrowing.

"Good boy, you did well."

"You managed to wield my Immortal Origin to this extent. Your path to immortality is solid, truly impressive!"

Heaven-Equaling praised him endlessly.

But soon, he sighed.

"Unfortunately..."

The relaxed expression on Li Che's face vanished.

His brows furrowed.

The Heavenly Earth Chessboard instantly expanded around him.

His face turned grim.

Because...

Outside the Heavenly Earth Chessboard.

A terrifying and overwhelming aura had sealed and frozen the teleportation void passage!

"The other Heavenly Immortals... have arrived."

Heaven-Equaling's voice carried a deep sense of regret.

Li Che's face was as still as water.

Cang Yuan, Cang Che, and the bouncing Xi Xi all froze.

The other Heavenly Immortals?

Rumble—

The void passage trembled violently.

A mighty, awe-inspiring, and terrifying aura, like a pillar of light that split the heavens and earth, descended, as if the ruler of all gods, viewing all things as mere grass and dogs.

Golden armor clanged, and a resplendent figure slowly emerged from the radiant light pillar that pierced the void.

Nine golden dragons pulled a golden chariot.

On the chariot stood a being of immense divine power, holding a divine sword, standing with the sword in hand.

Cang Yuan's face turned pale, his eyes filled with despair.

"The Obscure Heavenly Court... Immortal God Emperor!"

Hum—

A thunderous sound of a cicada, as if echoing from ancient times, resounded!

The sharp sound, like the final brilliant burst of a cicada before death!

Then, endless cicada sounds transformed into the chanting of ancient Buddhas, humming and echoing, countless golden ancient cicadas floating in the air, like gold cast, or like arhats suspended in the sky!

Buddha light poured in from the other end of the space passage, covering the sky and the earth!

Cang Che, in despair: "Black Sumeru... Immortal Golden Cicada!"

Two Heavenly Immortals!

Rumble—

On the other side of the Heavenly Earth Chessboard, an extremely terrifying demonic aura rose, intertwining and raging!

A colossal bird spread its wings, its demonic aura storming through every corner of the teleportation channel!

Li Che’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He recognized the entity blocking their path—the Immortal Demon Emperor!

The Heavenly Immortal of the Mysterious Demon Den!

Among the Two Emperors and Three Sovereigns, the Nuwa Sovereign and Wu Sovereign were the true top-tier Heavenly Immortals, while the Immortal Demon Emperor was a step below them but still a Heavenly Immortal.

The terrifying demonic aura surged, his white robes fluttering, his purple hair dancing wildly, making him look incredibly eerie as he stood in the void.

Adding to this was Laojun Immortal, who slowly but steadily emerged from the Encompassing Heaven Palace City.

Four Heavenly Immortals now sealed the four directions of the Heavenly Earth Chessboard.

Li Che felt an overwhelming cold force, like a mountain flood, freezing him to the core.

"Four Heavenly Immortals..."

Li Che exhaled, feeling a sense of powerlessness even at this moment.

He couldn't help but curse under his breath...

What the hell...

"Hehehe... What a grand scene."

The Qitian Will couldn’t help but scratch its head.

"Damn, when I, Old Sun, caused chaos in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it was just like this..."

The Qitian Will couldn’t help but click its tongue.

How could they break through this?

This situation...

Was completely unbreakable!

Rumbling—

The void teleportation channel was thoroughly sealed, rendering any teleportation impossible.

The Earth Immortal on the city gate dared not even breathe, his face filled with horror.

The Immortal God Emperor, the Immortal Demon Emperor, the Immortal Golden Cicada, and Laojun Immortal...

Four Heavenly Immortals!

Such a scene was a once-in-a-millennium occurrence!

At this moment, the Earth Immortal looked at Qitian, who stood at the center of the chessboard, with a sympathetic gaze.

Even a peak Qitian wouldn’t be of any use...

Buzzing—

Within the Qitian Armor.

The Qitian Will retook control of the Qitian Armor.

Li Che fell out of the overwhelming power, a strong sense of loss sweeping over him.

But the Stainless Heart resonated, and this feeling of loss vanished.

Li Che’s eyes narrowed, pondering how to break through the current situation.

It was too difficult.

A dead end!

The Qitian Will, now in control of the Qitian Armor, his gaze resolute, drew out the Compliant Golden Cudgel from his chest and slung it over his shoulder.

Five ancient Heaven-Earth talismans on the Qitian Armor vibrated, and fragments of the armor began to fall, indicating that the mechanical armor was nearing its limit.

However, the Qitian Will narrowed his eyes.

He looked at Li Che and smiled.

"Good boy, you’ve done enough."

"These gods are just not playing fair."

"Fine, fine... I, Old Sun, will give them one last strike!"

The Qitian Origin began to boil.

Li Che instantly understood the Qitian Will’s intention.

But just as the Qitian Will was mobilizing the Qitian Origin, a long sigh echoed through the sealed space teleportation channel.

Laojun Immortal’s hair and beard fluttered, his immortal demeanor and Daoist aura evident as his eyes opened and closed.

He suddenly looked towards the position where the Vajra Seal was suppressing.

There, hundreds of Vajra Seals trembled, their humming sound as if about to explode!

A pale hand suddenly struck out.

Instantly!

The Vajra Seals flew out, transforming into countless silver lights that dissipated into the void.

Nuwa’s demonic aura soared, her graceful figure slowly breaking through the seal.

This scene shocked many.

Eyes turned to her.

The Immortal Demon Emperor’s purple hair danced wildly, his eyes flashing with a strange light. "Lady Nuwa... What are you doing?"

"Why are you siding with the Lotus Prison?"

"You are one of the Two Emperors of our Mysterious Demon Den!"

The Immortal God Emperor’s divine might was vast and mighty, his gaze cold and indifferent.

The Immortal Golden Cicada, with its cicada patterns burning through the void and Buddha light shining, also looked over.

Within the Qitian Armor.

The Qitian Will narrowed its eyes, the boiling Qitian Origin slightly calming down.

It seemed... there was still a chance?

But why was this Nuwa so determined?

Unfortunately, it was only a manifestation of her will.

However, even a manifestation of her will was unusual; this Nuwa was being overly enthusiastic.

The Qitian Will was puzzled.

At this moment.

Nuwa’s will wandered through the void, surrounded by blossoming flowers and strange phenomena.

Her gaze turned towards the direction of the Qitian Armor.

As if penetrating the inner cabin of the armor, she met the eyes of Li Che and Xi Xi.

Her gaze was gentle, carrying a familiar feeling that Li Che recognized.

Li Che’s body trembled!

Xi Xi’s body also trembled, disbelief etched on her face.

Xi Xi turned to Li Che, pulling on his arm.

"Such a familiar feeling..."

"It’s like..."

"Mother?"
