The Four Seas Dragon Clan sacrificed their entire island and countless lives to resurrect their Young Dragon Emperor, provoking the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder. Li Che, anticipating this tribulation, used the overwhelming power and the blood of the dragons to his advantage, aiming to break through his Lei-Ci Dao Fruit's limitations. He ensured Xi Xi's safety by sending her away before preparing to face the calamitous thunder.
{DELIMITER}

Within the Qiankun Ring, a chaotic weave of black lightning crackled intensely. A suffocating aura enveloped everything, as if a colossal deity from the Nine Heavens were poised to plunge down and shatter the very world!

A deep rumble resonated, a sound akin to the heavens and earth themselves exhaling a profound sigh. This sigh then culminated in a thunderclap, echoing in the souls of all who witnessed the celestial spectacle. The reverberations pulsed outward from Ancestor Dragon Island, shaking Golden Light Prefecture City to its core and spreading throughout the entire Lingnan Circuit.

The whole circuit was submerged in the intermingling, echoing thunder, a palpable sensation of impending divine retribution!

Rummmmmble——

All eyes turned toward the black-robed figure standing atop the mountain summit, a sentinel after having annihilated Ten Thousand Dragons. Within the blood-colored Qiankun Ring, a bottomless pool of black thunder churned and roared. It swirled like turbulent ink, laced with serpentine black lightning and draconic electrical energy, exuding an overwhelming sense of cataclysm.

Confronted by this terrifying tribulation, all gazes were drawn to the lone man, his head held high, offering no quarter, no escape. He seemed poised to face the cataclysm head-on, prepared to be annihilated into dust.

Li Che spread his arms wide; this moment had been long anticipated!

Bang!

His entire being vibrated, muscles and bones trembling. Golden Qi pillars surged heavenward, burning with ferocious intensity. His sinews, tougher than any taut bowstring, seemed to rip through the void with each flex, unleashing explosive power!

The Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame receded. Li Che's purple hair darkened, lashing wildly amidst the heavens and earth. Ascending before the multitude of awestruck eyes, he positioned himself directly beneath the thunderous abyss. With a deafening roar, he thundered upward!

Instantly, within the Qiankun Ring, the thunder pool seemed to invert, unleashing a torrent of lightning comparable to the Milky Way. This cascade carried an obliterating intent, bent on eradicating all life!

Bang!

A bolt of Mystic Thunder, thick as a man's arm, descended like a falling mountain!

The very fabric of space fractured under its passage, crisscrossing with the Mystic Thunder, shattering like glass struck by an arrow, exploding into countless fragments!

Boom——!!!

Another bolt of Mystic Thunder, an ink-black pillar of light, blazed with destructive power, annihilating all in its path. The thunderous roar permeated heaven and earth, causing countless beings to tremble and yearn to flee in terror.

The Mystic Thunder struck Li Che's body with immense force.

His Martial Immortal Golden Body erupted in a dazzling golden radiance. Golden Qi burst forth, forming a dense shroud around him, a bulwark against the onslaught of the black Mystic Thunder!

Unyielding against the terrifying impact, he remained steadfast, an unmovable rock amidst a raging ocean storm, indestructible and unwavering!

His dark, robust hair whipped violently in the tempest. Li Che, arms outstretched, seemed to embrace the very Mystic Thunder!

Bang bang bang!

The Qiankun Ring convulsed, incensed by the vast quantities of dragon blood. The mythical artifact relentlessly unleashed thunderbolts, Mystic Thunder spanning the sky, black yet illuminating the night!

An overwhelming numbness afflicted everyone present, their shock profound, their emotions too intense for words.

Could this still be a human being?

Surely, even ferocious beasts could not withstand such world-ending thunder with mere flesh and bone?

In the mortal realm, such tribulation thunder possessed the power to obliterate virtually everything!

Yet, Li Che, this Mortal Martial Immortal, endured the thunderous onslaught and destructive fury solely with his physical body!

How potent was this flesh and blood?

Even when Li Che had previously slain the four Half-step Supreme Level Dragon Gods, the observers hadn't been as stunned as they were now. But witnessing him bodily resist this thunderous deluge, they were utterly astounded, finally comprehending the true meaning of 'Mortal Martial Immortal'!

Rumble——!!!

Heaven and earth roared in unison!

Within the Qiankun Ring, it was as if the deity presiding over the thunder pool had been roused to fury. The immense thunder pool appeared to be birthing a horrifying entity, complete with countless tentacles. Black thunder snakes, like lashing whips, smashed through space, striking out at Li Che!

Snap snap snap!

Wherever they passed, be it the air, the rain, space itself, tangible or intangible, all emitted unendurable sounds of rupture. Space itself was thoroughly shattered!

The Nine Dragons River roared, and the very heavens and earth bellowed!

The hearts of all present were profoundly shaken, their eardrums seemingly deafened. Brilliant light erupted across the sky, casting a heavy pall over their spirits.

Nan Lihuo, Feng Zhiqi, Zhao Fangzhou, and the others stood amidst the treetops of the dense forests outside Golden Light Prefecture City, their gazes fixed upon the tumultuous sky.

A wisp of Mystic Thunder, finer than a strand of hair, drifted over. Feng Zhiqi extended his hand, catching a remnant spark. Boom—— His palm instantly exploded into a bloody mess, flesh and blood seemingly withering and fragmenting... Agony surged through Feng Zhiqi. This... This thunder! Was the thunder Li Che was enduring truly this terrifying? Pain contorted Feng Zhiqi's face, his eyes swimming with bewilderment and shock, ultimately giving way to awe and fervent admiration. Silence fell upon the observers, leaving only sheer astonishment. Today, the Martial Immortal had truly illuminated the mortal realm. ... ... Sizzle sizzle sizzle—— Li Che found himself in a rather unpleasant state. His torn and bleeding skin was a secondary concern; the true danger lay within the divine will embedded in the Mystic Thunder, which was far more lethal. Li Che's mind reeled, his Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart quaked relentlessly, expelling Pure Heart Divinity to subdue the divine will. His Lei-Ci Dao Body Dao Fruit and Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit throbbed vigorously, clearly reaping significant rewards from this clash with the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder.
