As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1896 - 488: Chess Saint’s Fifth Transformation Reveals Blue Star’s Homeland, Ten Steps Kill One, No Pause for a Thousand Miles

"My painstakingly crafted Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant, a martial art I myself devised, has finally ascended to the Immortal Seed level, integrating the formidable power of the Primordial Dragon Elephant Yan Dao Tribulation... its might has multiplied exponentially."

A flicker stirred within Li Che's heart.

The Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant was his original, self-created Jue Xue, a synthesis of various martial arts honed through his personal comprehension of the Martial Path.

However, upon elevating it to the Immortal Seed Martial Arts tier, Li Che undertook further revisions to the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant.

This new iteration is now designated as the [Immortal Seed·All-Transforming Dragon Elephant Furnace], a martial art born from the fusion of the Dragon Elephant Furnace with the Dao Guide embodied within the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.

Its potency now far surpasses its previous form.

The earlier dramatic manifestations, while powerful, lacked focus; now, having crystallized into the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant Furnace, its power is more concentrated and directed.

"The strength of this Qiankun Battle Dao Tribulation... it pertains to spatial manipulation. Perhaps it can be synergized with the Six Desires Pure Yang Sword Technique, allowing these six divisions of Divine Seed Martial Arts to coalesce into a spatial sword array..."

"I must meticulously research the proper methodology for this integration."

"Nevertheless, incorporating spatial attacks is no trivial undertaking; it possesses the potential to become my ultimate trump card."

Li Che found himself compelled to dedicate his focus, making plans for thorough investigation.

While Li Che possessed some insights into the Sword Dao, his depth of knowledge was limited.

The inherent power of the Six Desires Pure Yang Sword Technique was considerable, yet it currently remained merely a Divine Seed Martial Art; elevating it to the Immortal Seed Martial Arts level was a daunting task.

However, this obstacle was not insurmountable, given he possessed a cheat.

By employing the Instant Enlightenment Feedback granted by the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, he could surmount this barrier with dedicated effort.

Furthermore, Li Che possessed complete Immortal Martial Arts obtained from the inheritance of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, specifically the [Combat Victory Divine Technique], which proved immensely beneficial for the advancement and study of Immortal Seed Martial Arts.

Thus, Li Che's future strategic objectives were clearly defined.

To complete the accumulation of the Nine Tribulations and ascend towards the zenith of Human Immortal cultivation!

Hoo—

Li Che rose from Dominator City, extending his arms wide. Instantly, a resonant symphony of terrifying muscles and bones erupted, and a vast torrent of Qi-Blood surged skyward, permeating the heavens and earth!

Even though his path diverged from the conventional Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.

The formidable might inherent in each Dao Tribulation he underwent surpassed that of the Three Calamities, ensuring Li Che's overall combat prowess would emerge superior!

"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"

Li Che's resolve hardened.

He harbored a degree of unease regarding a fleeting vision he had recently perceived.

A fervent desire to augment his cultivation and penetrate the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to lend aid to Qi-tian burned within him, particularly as Qi-tian embarked on his journey into those realms to secure precious time for the Prison Lotus Camp and Xi Xi...

To reciprocate kindness and exact vengeance were the core tenets of Li Che's principles.

These were the ethical standards he had steadfastly upheld since his arrival in this world, navigating its treacherous currents with utmost caution.

Ascending to the apex of the Dominator Tower.

The incandescent aura enveloping Li Che gradually subsided, as if he had finally succumbed to profound contemplation.

"The Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit has now progressed to level LV7... perhaps the visions I glimpsed will manifest with greater clarity?"

Li Che found himself recalling the phantom images transmitted by the Thunder Chess Piece affixed to Qi-tian.

He distinctly remembered the words of Zhou Heng, the Soul Capturer: should the Temple God reignite the Divine Fire, both form and spirit would be irrevocably extinguished; a fate he desperately wished to avert.

With a simple mental command, the Thunder Chess Piece emanated a subtle vibration.

Li Che's consciousness plunged into the depths of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, his gaze directed upward.

Soon, the spectacle unfolded, indeed significantly more vivid than before, even extending beyond the confines of the human world and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Within this vision, Li Che observed the Heavenly Old Monkey, grievously wounded and bleeding, seeking refuge to tend to his injuries.

Abruptly, the scene contorted violently, as if a cataclysmic Divine Power was unleashed, its oppressive aura nearly breaching the visual manifestation through the Thunder Chess Piece, instilling a chilling dread to the very bone.

In the depicted scene...

Radiant Buddha Light, terrifying in its intensity, coalesced into a colossal hand, rending the void asunder, inch by painstaking inch, as it descended. Dust and smoke billowed in its wake. The Heavenly Old Monkey uttered a defiant shout, unleashing a flurry of staff shadows before transforming into a streak of light and making a swift escape.

Concurrent with this, the vision provided by the Thunder Chess Piece abruptly ceased.

Li Che's intricately embroidered golden lotus robes billowed in the wind, his eyes gleaming with a sharp intensity as he exhaled a prolonged breath.

"Immortal Gods..."

Buzz—

With a decisive thought.

Leaving Mo City Fengdu behind.

He once again returned to the serene environs of Taibai Peak.

"Dang—"

"Dang—!!"

The ancient bell of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect rang out repeatedly as Ding Zi struck it. Meanwhile, Lv Taibai, with a somber-faced Xi Xi in tow, ascended the grand platform of the Taibai Hall.

Li Che observed Xi Xi, who was dressed in solemn attire, appearing like a miniature adult. He then looked up at the heavens, where clouds were romantically gathering and dispersing. A gentle breeze accompanied the resonating bell sounds, creating an atmosphere of profound peace.

Yet, where could such tranquil moments truly exist in the flow of time...

It could only be that some were trudging forward under immense pressure.

Li Che recalled the Heavenly Old Monkey residing in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, letting out a soft breath.

...

...

Within Qitian Inner City.

Abruptly, a figure streaked across the sky above Qitian Inner City; it was the disheveled Zhou Heng.

From the moment Zhou Heng reappeared, he instantly shattered the tranquility of Qitian Inner City.

Bang—

An overwhelming aura emanated, and Dao Divine Patterns intertwined, quickly quelling the previous unrest in Qitian Inner City.

Many noticed Zhou Heng's tattered appearance.

Zhou Heng was no pushover, holding the status of a Venerable of the Second Calamity and Third Tribulation. While he hadn't attained the Half-step Supreme realm, he represented formidable combat power beneath the Supreme level.

The strong factions residing in Qitian Inner City were all present, their gazes fixed, as if perceiving something extraordinary.

However, out of deference to Supreme Xuanzhen, they dared not probe any deeper.

Supreme Xuanzhen's brow furrowed. Clenching his fist, he instantly unleashed entwining Dao Divine Patterns, engulfing Zhou Heng and drawing him near.

"Speak... what is the situation?"

Supreme Xuanzhen inquired icily.
