Chapter 593: Breakthrough Battle - A Single Godslayer Sword Cuts Qitian, Earth Village Patriarch Feeds the Sword to Avenge Blood Feuds

Li Che was the champion of the Divine Artisan Immortal Hand Competition!

Moreover, he had long deciphered the Teleportation Platform, so for him, repairing and improving it was no difficult task at all.

This was the greatest confidence behind Li Che’s plan!

Li Che had planted his own spies within the combined armies of the three God Factions, none other than the young emperor Ji Shaohao.

After being killed by Li Che, Ji Shaohao had become a soul summoning, the most loyal of all, always passing information to Li Che at any moment.

Li Che knew everything about the joint army of the three God Factions, and their plans were largely under his control.

It was as if Li Che had an eye high in the sky, overlooking them.

Even if they were Earth Immortals, what did it matter?

As long as they couldn’t see through Ji Shaohao being Li Che’s soul summoning, there was no way his spy would be exposed.

After all, who could have imagined that Ji Shaohao would become Li Che’s spy?

And because of Ji Shaohao’s status as a young emperor, he was essentially part of the joint army’s high command, with access to all the information.

Twelve Earth Immortals, several dozen Celestial Kings... such a terrifying lineup was something even Li Che wouldn’t dare to confront lightly.

Even with the Qitian Armor, what difference would it make?

Facing such an array, it would be like being in a dire strait.

After all, the three disciples of the Heaven-Transcending Divine Emperor, wielding three Divine Armaments, could restrain Qitian.

How could the remaining nine Earth Immortals be dealt with?

There was no way; the strength of the two camps was on entirely different levels.

Li Che was leading the migration of the three ancient villages, part of the Yuelian camp, while the three God Factions, having operated for a long time in the Nine Heavens, had formidable power and deep reserves.

The Yuelian camp, with each God Tide, was like being washed anew, lacking in strong reserves.

Therefore, Li Che couldn’t afford to clash head-on with the joint army of the three God Factions.

Moreover, with so many villagers to consider, Li Che couldn’t possibly seek death.

Furthermore, because the Mo Cheng Fengdu hadn’t been fully repaired, Li Che couldn’t store the villagers inside and travel alone.

If he were to migrate and break through alone, the difficulty wouldn’t be too great.

Unfortunately, time didn’t wait for Li Che, giving him no chance to rest and recuperate.

If they didn’t migrate, the three ancient villages would certainly be annihilated, and all the villagers would be killed.

With four Heavenly Immortals suppressed and sealed, the three God Factions were undoubtedly in a state of rage.

In such a state, Li Che couldn’t possibly choose to face them directly; he needed to employ some strategy.

At this moment, Ji Shaohao, the piece Li Che had placed, played a crucial role, reviving a seemingly hopeless situation!

Of course, Li Che was only turning the tide; he couldn’t yet turn the tables on the enemy.

Boom—

Li Che’s eyes burst with brilliant light, and the Divine Engineer Dao Guo resonated.

The engraving knife, like a beam of light, swiftly cut through the divine carvings, beginning to repair and enhance them, elevating their essence.

He also expanded the Teleportation Platform’s array, making the anchor points more stable, etching the void, so they wouldn’t easily collapse!

He transformed this Ru Xuan Mountain Teleportation Platform, which had the lowest load capacity in the Xuan Xiao Heaven, into one that rivaled the top three in Xuan Xiao Heaven!

Earth Village Patriarch Tuoba Lian watched with wide eyes, his gaze filled with astonishment and disbelief.

“This Ru Xuan Mountain… it’s actually not guarded by any of the three God Factions’ strong forces. The only gap was found by Dizang?”

“How did he do it?”

Tuoba Lian, who had fought the three God Factions all his life, felt a deep shock at this moment.

It felt as if Li Che had placed an eye on the heads of the three God Factions, clearly seeing their every move!

It was truly incomprehensible!

When Tuoba Lian saw Li Che modifying the divine carvings, which only a Divine Carving Great Immortal could alter, he understood Li Che’s plan.

This was like walking a tightrope; the slightest mistake could lead to ten thousand tribulations!

If the three God Factions locked onto their location and swiftly teleported over, it would be like being caught in a jar, with no escape!

“Dizang… such a Dizang… he’s even more terrifying than Yulian’s Daughter.”

Tuoba Lian took a deep breath, filled with admiration.

His old, cloudy eyes sparkled with a brilliant light, his heart trembling.

Could it be…

The one to end the eighth God Tide, the strong one, might not be Yulian’s Daughter?

But this Dizang?

...

...

Hum—

The Teleportation Platform vibrated continuously.

The divine carvings burst with dazzling light, rippling through the fabric of spacetime, causing the void to undulate like waves.

Then, in the center of the massive Teleportation Platform on Ru Xuan Mountain, one figure after another appeared, their bodies still glowing from the recent teleportation!

These were the god armies teleporting from the Xuan Xiao Heaven and the Thirty-Third Heaven secret realm.

Four Immortality auras stretched across the sky, making the air solidify as if it were about to shatter.

Godslayer Immortal, arms crossed, holding the Zhushen Sword, took a step forward, and a terrifying sword light instantly cut the figure floating in mid-air in half.

With a puff, the figure exploded into a dense black mist!

Seeing the black mist, Godslayer Immortal’s eyes darkened, and his body trembled slightly.

“Damn! We’ve been tricked!”

A terrifying sword aura burst from his body, transforming into a sharp blade of light sweeping through the surroundings.

Black mist and blood spurted into the sky.

Some of the black mist was from the Immortal in the Painting avatars Li Che had planted to mislead the three God Factions.

“Fakes!”

“Dizang didn’t bring the villagers of the three ancient villages here to teleport and migrate!”

“We’ve been misled!”

Godslayer Immortal said coldly.

Shi Shaokai and Fu Shaohui, among others, looked startled.

How could this happen?

The intelligence of the three God Factions was usually impeccable.

Every Ru Xuan Mountain had their spies, constantly monitoring Ksitigarbha and others’ teleportation!

Ksitigarbha’s group would need to use the Teleportation Platform on Ru Xuan Mountain to reach Yulian’s Land!

“Mark all the Ru Xuan Mountains with Teleportation Platforms in Xuan Xiao Heaven that we’ve deemed unable to handle large-scale teleportation. Any of these could be where Dizang’s group has teleported!”

Shi Shaokai clasped his hands, his eyes flashing, calmly thinking and speaking.

Godslayer Immortal glanced at him.

A Divine Carving Great Immortal floated over, marking all the Teleportation Platforms in Xuan Xiao Heaven that were originally unable to handle large-scale teleportation.

However, there were more than one such Ru Xuan Mountain.

“Search each one! Contact the cultivators guarding each Ru Xuan Mountain. If we can establish contact, we can determine which Teleportation Platform Dizang’s group chose!”

Godslayer Immortal immediately gave the order.

The atmosphere in the joint army of the three God Factions became incredibly tense.

None of them expected the joint army to encounter such an obstacle right at the start of their campaign.

This generation’s Yuelian camp seemed more cunning and difficult to deal with than previous generations!

The Nirvana Sovereigns in charge of the Teleportation Platforms in the Obscure Heavenly Court began contacting each Ru Xuan Mountain.

Suddenly, one Nirvana Sovereign’s eyebrows furrowed, his thoughts racing, and his eyes trembled violently.

“Found them!”

Hum—

Godslayer Immortal instantly approached, his Immortal Will surging, immediately sensing through the connection to the Ru Xuan Mountain.

However, the Immortal Will was quickly severed, swallowed by the chaotic spatial currents.

“The spatial anchor has been erased. Indeed… what a cunning Ksitigarbha!”

Godslayer Immortal’s expression was extremely grim.

He immediately ordered the joint army to teleport to that Ru Xuan Mountain, but it was impossible.

“It’s no use. They’ve altered the Teleportation Platform on that Ru Xuan Mountain, and our anchor can’t establish a connection!”

“At this rate, the Yuelian camp will migrate out of Xuan Xiao Heaven!”

Godslayer Immortal’s face was dark.

He hadn’t expected everyone to be deceived.

“You follow. I will take charge of the Domain Boundary Fortress in the spatial channel!”

“The Yuelian camp must pass through the Domain Boundary Fortress to teleport away. If we wait any longer, it will be too late!”

Boom—

Godslayer Immortal left this order, the Zhushen Sword unsheathed, and a terrifying sword light instantly cut through the void, his entire body transforming into a sword light spanning the stars, rushing forward.

The other members of the joint army of the three God Factions looked at each other.

But in the end, an Immortal stepped forward, confirming the next plan.

Rushing through the spatial channel would destroy it, causing it to collapse.

So, they couldn’t follow Godslayer Immortal’s reckless approach.

They could only choose to teleport into the spatial channel and head to the Domain Boundary Fortress in Xuan Xiao Heaven!

There, they would meet up with Godslayer Immortal!

Rumble—

The spatial channel began to vibrate violently, as if it couldn’t bear the strain.

A single Earth Immortal forcibly tearing through the spatial channel had a significant impact.

If this happened a few more times, the spatial channel might collapse, making repairs difficult.

...

...

“Done!”

Li Che’s engraving knife swept through with dazzling light, as if tearing through the night.

One by one, the divine carvings were enhanced by Li Che, the Divine Engineer Dao Guo resonating and boosting his skill, reaching an unprecedented height.

Li Che was very satisfied with this engraving.

Even the Divine Engineer Dao Guo showed a significant improvement in maturity!

With a thought, he triggered the Teleportation Platform’s teleportation.

“Everyone, let’s go!”

Li Che’s mind moved, and the heaven and earth chessboard enveloped everyone.

As Li Che activated the Teleportation Platform for teleportation, Ji Shaohao’s message immediately arrived in his mind, informing Li Che that Godslayer Immortal had torn through the spatial channel.

“What a Godslayer Immortal, risking the collapse of the spatial channel just to forcibly intercept us?”

Li Che’s face, hidden behind the Jade Mask, showed a cold and stern expression.

Hum—

The Teleportation Platform burst with light, enveloping Li Che and the villagers of the three ancient villages, who were carried by the heaven and earth chessboard, and they all vanished.

Rumble—

The seven-colored Radiant Light Emission continued.

The heaven and earth chessboard enveloped the villagers of the three ancient villages. Li Che's expression was grave, his powerful Mystic Immortal Will trembling uncontrollably.

In fact, even with the improved Teleportation Platform, such a large-scale teleportation was still extremely taxing for Li Che.

However, there was no other way to escape.

Otherwise, the combined forces of the three God Factions would overwhelm them. Li Che couldn’t handle such an array of enemies.

Everyone would be suppressed.

By then, Li Che would have no choice but to abandon the villagers of the three ancient villages.

Li Che stood with his hands behind his back, at the forefront of the teleportation array, his black robes fluttering. The Jade Mask on his face glinted with a seven-colored radiance, constantly shifting.

Beside him, Tuoba Lian also stood, his expression equally grave.

Boom—

Soon, the rapid teleportation array slowed down and came to a halt.

A massive city gate appeared before them, the very gate of Xuan Xiao Heaven.

The Earth Immortals who had once inhabited the city gate had long since abandoned it.

Therefore, they should have been able to pass through the city gate without any hindrance.

A few signs of anticipation and excitement appeared on Tuoba Lian’s old face.

As long as they broke through the city gate of Xuan Xiao Heaven, they could breach the domain and enter other spatial tunnels. Then, they would be free to roam.

The combined forces of the three God Factions were all gathered in Xuan Xiao Heaven.

Once they teleported out, they would effectively escape the encirclement.

Just as hope was within reach, a scene that filled them with despair emerged.

A terrifying sword light hummed through the air, instantly slashing down from beyond the spatial barrier, filled with an annihilating aura!

Countless sword qi descended, swirling around a figure.

It was a figure holding a divine sword, landing on the city wall, his black hair swirling wildly, his eyes cold and filled with countless sword rays!

"Finally... I’ve found you!"

Godslayer Immortal stood on the city wall, holding the Zhushen Sword in both hands, looking down at the villagers of the three ancient villages and Li Che, who stood at the forefront of the teleportation array.

A terrifying Immortal Will spread like a storm.

The oppressive feeling was overwhelming!

The villagers of the three ancient villages immediately felt the terrifying Aura of Power, their legs trembling and collapsing to the ground, unable to move.

Li Che raised his head, his eyes icy cold.

"Godslayer Immortal..."

He sighed softly in his heart.

He had not expected to be caught up with.

However, Li Che knew he couldn’t waste time.

Godslayer Immortal had arrived by breaking through a spatial channel.

The other eleven Immortals and the combined forces of the three God Factions were on their way via the large Ru Xuan Mountain Teleportation Platform.

If Godslayer Immortal delayed them, the situation would become dire.

They would face the full might of the three God Factions.

Such an array was far beyond the current capabilities of the Yulian camp!

With a thought, the Heavenly Monkey Armor instantly appeared.

Roar—

The ancient symbols of heaven and earth instantly shone, five ancient symbols revolving in the spatial tunnel!

"Senior Qitian! Beat him to death!"

Li Che's eyes were sharp.

"Heh!"

"One Earth Immortal dares to block me, Old Monkey?"

The Heavenly Monkey Armor’s eyes suddenly blazed with intense light, as Qitian’s will awakened, his essence beginning to boil and burn.

Hum—

The Compliant Golden Staff vibrated, instantly extending, its terrifying shadow overlapping, as if tearing the void apart!

Perhaps aware of the urgency, Qitian attacked with all his might!

The five ancient symbols lit up, fully enhancing the power of the Qitian Armor!

His first move was his strongest!

Victory in Battle Art!

Boom!

A force on par with a Heavenly Immortal made Godslayer Immortal lose his composure, his expression becoming extremely grave.

However, there was no fear in his eyes, only intense passion!

"Come!"

"Fight!"

"Finally, I can unleash my full power!"

"Qitian!"

"Let your supreme Qitian power help me touch the barrier of Heavenly Immortality!"

Godslayer Immortal let out a long cry.

The Zhushen Sword in his embrace instantly burst into a resounding sound, as if it had come to life!

Qitian’s staff slammed down with immense force, dispelling all air currents, turning the spatial tunnel into a vacuum. The entire city wall trembled violently, as if it were about to be shattered and collapse!

Godslayer Immortal’s body shook, his spirit burning fiercely, the seven-colored divine light behind him swirling, his Immortal essence boiling!

With a long cry, he swung his sword!

A massive, blood-red sword mark tore through the spatial tunnel.

It was as if...

The void itself was bleeding!

The Godslaying Sword!

The blood-red sword light, intense beyond measure, instantly appeared, towering in the spatial tunnel, fiercely slashing toward the Compliant Golden Staff!

Bang—!!

The two terrifying attacks collided in the void, the space instantly fracturing into countless storm-like cracks, everything seeming to be annihilated!

Godslayer Immortal stood on the city wall, enduring the terrifying Aura of Power from the Qitian Armor.

The difference between the Heavenly Immortal and Earth Immortal levels was vast!

However, Godslayer Immortal, though an Earth Immortal, had the ambition to break through to the Heavenly Immortal level!

Clang—

A crisp sound.

The Zhushen Sword returned to his grasp.

Godslayer Immortal stepped off the city wall, gripping the sword, and slashed again!

Hum—

A seemingly casual slash, the sword passing through the void, only causing a gentle ripple of blood light.

However, that blood light rapidly spread, instantly enveloping the entire spatial tunnel!

All eyes were filled with the blood-red sword light!

"Godslaying Sword!"

Godslayer Immortal cried out.

This was his strongest move, inherited from the Emperor of the Heavens.

The blood-red sword light surged from Godslayer Immortal, vast and mighty, like a dragon emerging from the depths, its light like dragon claws, slicing through space and everything in its path!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

The terrifying sword intent seemed to infect the souls of all present.

The villagers of the three ancient villages of Yulian were on the verge of madness!

"Such a sword!"

Li Che was shocked. This Godslayer Immortal was truly mad!

For Li Che saw that under Qitian’s staff, Godslayer Immortal’s body was under immense strain, his flesh about to be shattered by the will of the Monkey King!

Blood flowed from his body, yet he still defiantly slashed out with such a terrifying sword!

To slay everything!

"This is the will of the Zhushen Sword..."

"The most terrifying divine sword mastered by the Emperor of the Heavens..."

A sigh came from beside Li Che.

He turned to see the old patriarch of Earth Village, Tuoba Lian, his face lined with age, his back hunched, sighing deeply.

An invisible will spread from his body, easing the influence of the Godslayer Immortal’s will on the villagers.

"The time we have left is not much..."

Tuoba Lian looked at Li Che.

His eyes were deep, filled with a resolute and determined spirit.

"Qitian is very powerful, having recovered to his peak state... enough to match a Heavenly Immortal."

"But Godslayer Immortal is the strongest disciple of the Emperor of the Heavens, wielding the Zhushen Sword, embodying some of the Emperor’s might."

"His sword cannot kill Qitian, but it can delay him..."

Tuoba Lian said.

"We must find a way to break the deadlock."

"Senior..."

Tuoba Lian sighed.

"Ksitigarbha... the future growth of Yulian's Daughter depends on you. I have seen what you have done, and I am at ease, trusting you..."

"You will not let Yulian's Daughter down, and you will bring her back to Yulian's Land, to bathe in Yulian's Burial Pool..."

Tuoba Lian’s hunched back slowly straightened.

His eyes suddenly burst into brilliant light, his will vibrating as if boiling in the void.

Li Che’s expression under the Jade Mask changed slightly.

Tuoba Lian’s aura seemed to break through some kind of restraint, rapidly rising, rapidly growing!

Was he burning his life force to forcibly break through the Immortal barrier?!

Boom—

A long cry.

Tuoba Lian’s hair flew, and behind him, the Nine Yuyan Path of Samsara stretched out.

At the peak of the path, a vague figure slowly became clear, a young man!

His eyes were bright, his back straight!

This was the young Tuoba Lian, the Tuoba Lian at the peak of his vitality!

It turned out that the Patriarch of Earth Village, Tuoba Lian, had always possessed the strength of a Nirvana King!

"Now we lack time!"

"We cannot let Godslayer Immortal delay us!"

"Godslayer Immortal’s power and all his combat strength come from that Zhushen Sword!"

Tuoba Lian’s eyes shone brightly. He looked at Li Che, then at the silent villagers of the three ancient villages.

And at the villagers of Earth Village.

His eyes showed a trace of sorrow.

For a long time, he had known...

The villagers of Earth Village had already died once. When Earth Village was massacred, the villagers had all died...

Ksitigarbha had brought them back to life, but now, in the burning of his will, in the moment of Nirvana King’s ultimate combustion and brief entry into Immortality...

He finally saw clearly that the villagers of Earth Village...

Were indeed dead.

They were just living in another way.

But...

Death is death!

All because he, the old patriarch, had failed to protect them...

Tuoba Lian sighed deeply, his eyes fixed on Godslayer Immortal!

"Kill!"

He took a step forward.

The young and vibrant Tuoba Lian, full of sorrow, shouted with a voice filled with endless grief and the desire for revenge!

"I, the old patriarch, am powerless!"

"Today, I will avenge you all!"

Tuoba Lian let out a long cry!

He stepped across the void, a lotus blooming with each step, charging madly toward Godslayer Immortal, who held the Zhushen Sword!

Godslayer Immortal’s eyes were cold and fierce.

"Seeking death!"

Breaking through the Nirvana King barrier, reaching the Immortal level, and using a life-burning Immortal power to threaten him?

Hum—

The Zhushen Sword instantly slashed out!

However, Tuoba Lian was unafraid, his arms spreading wide, charging straight at Godslayer Immortal’s sword!

Pfft!

The Zhushen Sword instantly pierced through Tuoba Lian’s body!

But at the moment the sword pierced his body, Godslayer Immortal’s expression changed dramatically!

"Madman!"

Godslayer Immortal’s face twitched, trying to pull the divine sword out!

However, the sword blade, once it entered Tuoba Lian’s body, was entangled by countless writhing streams of blood.

The blood formed chains, clinking, tightly binding the Zhushen Sword.

Tuoba Lian’s hands also grasped the sharp blade.

The bright red blood, like rubies, fell from the void, pattering like pearls on a jade plate.

Under the Jade Mask.

Li Che was stunned!

The villagers of the three ancient villages were also stunned.

The younger generations of Earth Village, like Tuoba Lian and Tuoba Xiu, were in tears.

"Get out!"

Godslayer Immortal roared!

Terrifying sword qi surged, trying to tear through Tuoba Lian’s body and pull the sword free, but he could not!

Seeing the panic in Godslayer Immortal’s eyes,

Tuoba Lian burst into laughter, his voice deafening, making the entire spatial tunnel tremble!

"Ha ha ha!"

"I feed myself to the sword, becoming its sheath, suppressing your Zhushen Sword!"

"Great Sage Qitian!"

"Help me..."

"Beat him to death!"
