Splashing noises—
Clanging echoes of chains ring out without pause, evoking the image of a spectral vessel burdened with tormented spirits sailing across the Yellow Springs of the Nine Netherworld.
Countless chains drape across the vessel, each one writhing with the agony of bound souls.
The profound timbre of Li Che's voice booms forth, carrying the unassailable command of the Netherworld's sovereign.
This summons the ghost ship to gradually descend with its selected soul.
Rapid currents surge like the churning waters of the Yellow Springs, frothing and seething as pale, ominous bones surface from the depths.
Black rain hammers down relentlessly on Mo City's streets, forming dark puddles that spread and deepen.
As that profound voice, echoing as if from the depths of the Netherworld, reverberates through Mo City, a shadowy figure begins to rise slowly from the pooling black liquid.
From the barren, soulless void of the underworld, a shadowy torrent drifts forth, blending seamlessly with the soul of Gu Yinxuan that has been seized from the shadowy flow.
Upon Li Che's crown, the Tao Tribulation Fire flickers steadily, his stare unnervingly intense.Witnessing Gu Yinxuan's seized soul shatter its bonds and reemerge, a spark of contemplation gleams in Li Che's eyes.
Could these be souls plucked from the Netherworld?
Is he wielding an embryonic form of soul-seizing techniques to challenge the Netherworld's overlords for dominion over these spirits?
Does reincarnation truly exist in this realm?
With every soul reclaimed, he strips away the Dao Yun from the Netherworld and fuses it anew, allowing endurance in the mortal plane...
"Dao Yun embodies the core of the Dao, arising at birth and lingering beyond death... Cultivators in the Divine Tribulation Realm temper the Dao Yun, drawing upon the might of heavenly calamities."
"The emergence of soul-capturing demands dual forms of Dao Yun..."
"Life's Dao Yun is drawn from the living world, whereas death's Dao Yun... must be wrested from the Netherworld, ultimately combined to grant the profound Dao Yun of life and death."
Li Che pondered deeply.
Grasping Dao Yun serves as the path to transcending the Divine Tribulation Realm.
However, Li Che's progress in the Divine Embryo phase remains insufficient, even with his tireless recent efforts in cultivation and the ceaseless extraction of divinity from the Three Pure Ones Divine Crystal, which has scarcely elevated his Heaven and Earth Spirit Bright True Ape Divine Embryo to the Three God Transformations stage.
Still distant from the Four God Transformations of the Great God Realm.
Therefore, for Li Che to muse on Dao Yun at this juncture feels a touch too soon.
In reality, ascending the Tribulation Realm involves not merely seizing Dao Yun, but rather affirming one's Dao Position amid the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
Humming—
Gu Yinxuan, his soul retrieved, flutters his eyelids open, his face a mask of intricate emotions as he gazes at the Netherworld Ghost Emperor lost in thought, his features involuntarily twitching.
Netherworld Ghost Emperor...
It is him!
From the reports that filtered back, the Netherworld Ghost Emperor... appears as a young man of merely twenty-five or twenty-six, far from reaching the Divine Tribulation or Martial God Realms.
Yet, the Netherworld Ghost Emperor's form, aloof from the world, coupled with the aura of calamity radiating from him, truly chills Gu Yinxuan to the bone.
Perplexity swirls in Gu Yinxuan's eyes.
Li Che extinguishes the Dragon-Elephant Flame atop his head, his stare settling coolly on Gu Yinxuan.
"If submission doesn't appeal to you, then choose to walk away."
"I'll offer you a chance to withdraw."
"Because if you won't yield, someone else certainly will."
Li Che states with detached calm.
In the art of soul capture, Li Che has never faltered.
Stubborn resistance?
Refusal to yield spells doom!
Gu Yinxuan is no idiot; the intelligence relayed to him quickly illuminates his dire straits.
Furthermore, just prior to his demise, Li Che's words had jolted him profoundly.
YIELDING to Li Che unlocks a once-in-an-eternity view of the divine tide!
"This lowly one, Gu Yinxuan, offers his obeisance to the Lord!"
Without a second's delay, Gu Yinxuan bows in allegiance, dropping to his knees!
Though a Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator at the One Calamity and Two Tribulations Realm, prostrating before a youth of twenty-five or twenty-six stirs no unease in him.
Chiefly because Li Che had slain him utterly, even at the peak of his power.
So, what reason remains to hold out?
Outclassed in prowess, surrender is only fitting.
"Excellent."
Li Che grins, his spirits soaring from enlisting two Divine Tribulation Great Cultivators, including the prodigious Gu Yinxuan, filling him with delight.
Mood elevated.
Gu Yangxuan draws near as well, soaked in perspiration, still haunted by his idiotic actions in life.
Scheming to turn Li Nuanxi into human elixir...
Utterly...
Foolish!
Yet, Gu Yangxuan could never have foreseen that the immense, formidable Netherworld is upheld by just one individual, a man who seems unassuming in strength!
Who would have imagined it?!
Gu Yangxuan collapses to his knees, a Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator gripped by sheer dread.
Li Che's dark robes billow, his lustrous locks whipping wildly.
Gazing upon the prostrate Gu Yangxuan, sweat dripping endlessly from his brow, Li Che's expression remains impassive, his eyes as bottomless as an endless void.
A trace of disdain flickers in Li Che's regard toward Gu Yangxuan.
Daring to craft his daughter into human medicine?
To devour and distill her essence?
Such notions repulse Li Che utterly.
Since they provoke disgust...
Then Gu Yangxuan has no place in this world.
But first, Li Che has duties to fulfill.
"Unseal your Qiankun Cave Heaven."
Li Che demands firmly.
Within the Divine Tribulation Realm, treasures are no longer kept in Qiankun Jades but housed in the forged Qiankun Cave Heaven.
Gu Yangxuan rips open his Qiankun Cave Heaven promptly, laying it out for Li Che, while he stays bowed low on the ground, perspiration flowing unchecked, locked in endless reverence.
