Fang Hanshu battles a powerful Supreme Phase, a condensation of the Great Dao, as a test to qualify for the Vast Tao God Pattern. Li Che observes, noting the difficulty of the trial. Meanwhile, three Supremes in Qitian Inner City sense someone impacting the Supreme Realm. They initially dismiss the Earthly Ghost Emperor, who seems to be at his end, but he suddenly escalates his power and annihilates a Second Disaster Venerable sent to probe. The Ghost Emperor then seems to invite the Supremes to grant him death.

Rage was mounting within him; how could the borrowed Gathering Immortals Flag be missing?

Zhou Heng offered an explanation: the Gathering Immortals Flag had been pilfered by a formidable entity that displayed both Buddha Nature and Demon Energy. This perpetrator, he surmised, was likely an elite from Black Sumeru or the Deceit Demon Cave!

Despite this, Supreme Xuanzhen’s interrogations of Sky Wolf and Jia Lou yielded no confessions; neither was willing to admit any involvement.

Where, then, had the Gathering Immortals Flag vanished to?!

Had he possessed the Gathering Immortals Flag, he could have blazed a path out of the Inner City, and this Earthly Ghost Emperor...

would have been utterly annihilated by his might!

Obliterated on the spot!

A boundless killing intent emanated from the Inner City's depths.

Yet, the Earthly Ghost Emperor stood resolute at the city gates, an unyielding monument against all intimidation.

The three Supremes within the Inner City felt a profound sense of exasperation.

Their desire to kill was thwarted by the impassable barrier, leaving them with a powerless fury.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the divine essence and Dao Yun within the heavens and earth seemed to concentrate to an extreme degree. They began a slow dispersal, and the Tao Divine Pattern gradually solidified.

Fang Hanshu's breakthrough towards the Supreme Phase was evidently drawing to a close.

His command over the Tao Divine Pattern grew increasingly masterful. Slowly, he finally transcended the Supreme Phase, initiating a terrifying counterattack. A dreadful slaughter ensued, ultimately eradicating the Supreme Phase itself.

Subsequently, Fang Hanshu assumed a cross-legged posture, entering a state reminiscent of instant enlightenment.

Time trickled by, moment by moment.

This period of comprehension, following the ascent to the Supreme Realm, demanded ample time for consolidation and the reaping of insights.

Concurrently, throughout Qi Tian Outer City, numerous cultivators perceived an unusual shift. They ascended into the sky, their eyes gleaming as they sought to discern the changes.

Unbeknownst to them, three days had vanished in the blink of an eye.

Li Che, clad in his Mo Shan robes, surveyed the surroundings before seating himself cross-legged, acting as a guardian.

Beyond mere protection, however, Li Che’s consciousness delved into the Dao Tribulation Space, simultaneously tempering the Dao Tribulation and enhancing his own being.

The Tao Divine Pattern, it was understood, was intrinsically linked to the Great Dao that a cultivator cultivated and mastered within themselves.

Much like Fang Hanshu, who cultivated Hao Ran Zheng Qi, his Tao Divine Pattern manifested as the Taoist Hao Ran Divine Pattern.

Li Che, on the other hand, pondered what divine seal he would ultimately condense in the future?

His thoughts drifted, leading him to contemplate a vast array of possibilities.

He recalled the nascent form of immortal energy within the Qi Men Qi Blood Vortex, which he had coalesced using the Qi Men Immortal Seed...

It represented a higher echelon of power. The Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, developed by Li Che, was founded upon this very power.

Furthermore, having embarked upon the Path of the Martial Immortal, what he condensed might not be a mere divine seal, but perhaps a Tao Immortal Pattern?

......

Beyond his engagement with the Dao Tribulation, Li Che also dedicated his spare moments, while safeguarding Fang Hanshu, to enhancing Xi Xi’s Triple Cannon.

Within his chest, the dormant Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit began to pulse with activity.

Li Che’s fingers moved with uncanny nimbleness, meticulously carving the Mechanical Nine Divine Seals onto the intricate mechanisms before modifying the outer casings.

The Wood Raven was upgraded, and within it, Li Che loaded the Thunderball, compressed by the immense force of Thunder Magnetic Extreme Pressure.

This Thunderball, forged from Shenxiao Thunder, unleashed catastrophic power, serving as a potent trump card for Xi Xi.

Equipped with this and two Peerless Fierce Beasts, Xi Xi would face Upper Divine Tribulation cultivators without trepidation.

Nevertheless, these were external enhancements; Xi Xi's personal cultivation progress remained paramount.

However, Xi Xi was merely eight years old; how could Li Che impose excessive demands upon his daughter?

Zi Zi Zi Zi Zi Zi Zi ——

Feeling the pulsating Extreme Pressure Thunder Ball within his grasp, Li Che's dark hair whipped wildly around him, his gaze penetrating and profound.

A subtle smile involuntarily touched the corners of his lips.

Speaking of Thunder Magnetic Extreme Pressure, Li Che's thoughts inevitably turned to the Thunder Magnetic Dao Body Dao Fruit he possessed. Its maturity level was fixed at LV6 Rank, reaching 90% completion, merely a chance away from Transformation.

Yet, at his current cultivation stage, the conditions triggering Heavenly Tribulations against him were extraordinarily rigorous, alleviating any immediate urgency.

He continued his work, upgrading Xi Xi’s Triple Cannon.

Regarding promises made to his daughter, Li Che naturally accorded them the highest priority.

Approximately two more days elapsed, and Fang Hanshu concluded his arduous confrontation with the Supreme Phase. He had successfully mastered the Tao Divine Pattern, and the Disaster Wheel depicted behind him erupted in an incredibly brilliant radiance, its divine patterns flowing with otherworldly mystique.

A vast, supreme pressure, emanating from even the slightest gesture, spilled forth from Fang Hanshu.

Fang Hanshu's eyes opened and closed, signifying the completion of the Tao Divine Pattern's consolidation. The next formidable trial awaiting him was the erosion of the Third Calamity!The moment Fang Hanshu shattered the Supreme Phase was naturally detected by Li Che. He immediately departed Mo City's Fengdu, materializing within Qi Tian Outer City. Above Fang Hanshu's head, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard continued to loom, casting its cover, while in the firmament, the will of the human world's heaven and earth appeared to be coalescing an intensely fearsome tribulation power! Winds and waves raged, tearing through the void, as if seeking to annihilate souls. This was the Destructive God Wind! The initial two tribulations Fang Hanshu endured were the Netherworld Fire and Shenxiao Thunder; now, the third calamity had manifested. For numerous cultivators, each heaven and earth tribulation carried the harbinger of death, a sign of impending doom. Yet, for Fang Hanshu, it posed minimal danger. Even with the Heaven and Earth Chessboard’s protection, the aura of the third Divine Tribulation Calamity still seeped out, permeating all of Qi Tian City and causing every cultivator to tremble. The activities within the Inner City of the three Supremes escalated, growing ever more vigorous. They became increasingly convinced that a potent individual resided within Qi Tian City, one on the cusp of facing a disaster tribulation!
