"This era... has no place for Pure Martial Immortals. So what if you manage to break through? The times have shifted; entering the Martial Immortal Realm means your path forward will be blocked!"
"You shouldn't step in at all!"
A frigid voice echoed out.
"Charge! Trigger the Divine Tribulation!"
From the shadows of the void, a mighty presence issued the command icily. In that instant, the fabric of space cracked apart, and a Divine Tribulation Cultivator burst forth from the rift with blinding speed.
A eunuch it was!
Draped in Ziyi Diao Temple robes adorned with intricate dragon embroidery, he was unmistakably a figure of supreme rank in the temple.
Ancient in age, his face remained pallid and smooth-shaven.
The moment this aged eunuch materialized, he shot straight toward Li Che, who was braving the furious Heavenly Tribulation. Then, as heavenly might unleashed, the fury of Heaven and Earth boiled over, and a massive thunderbolt crashed down abruptly!
"Ah——!!!"This First Calamity Divine Tribulation cultivator let out a single shriek before the lightning obliterated him, reducing him to scattered ashes!
By intruding upon the Martial Immortal Tribulation, his end came swift and absolute; that bolt of electricity proved utterly irresistible.
Yet this meddling caused the Martial Immortal Tribulation Thunder's intensity to skyrocket.
Bang——!!!
The peal of thunder nearly ruptured eardrums, resembling the Nine Heavens' Milky Way pouring down or stars plummeting to smash the ground!
Splutter!
Li Che spewed a spray of blood mist; the Heavenly Tribulation grew far more ferocious, his eyes locking coldly onto a certain spot in the void.
"Emperor of Great Vista, is that you?!"
"You scheming coward."
"Your name's already in the Earthly Netherworld Life and Death Book—you'll be reaped soon enough!"
The Earthly Ghost Emperor's voice boomed forth, brimming with unyielding strength and total assurance!
Hum——
The potent entity concealed in the void responded with a mere disdainful huff.
At the same time, countless Small Cave Heavens materialized, their supreme powerhouses peering downward.
From those Small Cave Heavens, fresh First Calamity Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators surged out without hesitation, forcibly igniting their Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations!
They were instantly incinerated to dust, leaving no remains!
But at the cost of their lives, they dramatically amplified the Calamity's might!
Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations fused with the Martial Immortal Tribulation!
Even Li Che, mighty with his Martial Immortal Golden Body, found himself torn and battered!
The violet flames flickered weakly, on the verge of snuffing out, while the Martial Immortal Dao Essence phantom atop his form almost fully integrated with him right then.
The Golden Heavenly Gate rumbled and quaked violently!
"Little brother, you can definitely take it in—you're truly going for Body Sanctification? Old Sun's got your back! Hehe!"
From the emptiness.
Suddenly, Old Monkey's hearty laughter rang out.
The very next instant.
Heaven and Earth Essence Qi across a three-thousand-mile span erupted chaotically, ballooning outward in a flash, while Essence Qi from five thousand miles away churned like ocean tides, driven relentlessly from the world's fringes.
In a heartbeat, it overwhelmed the divine surges unleashed by the horde of powerhouses from the various Small Cave Heavens.
Boom——!!!
All at once.
Right as the experts from every faction moved to intervene... a radiant golden staff expanded to ten thousand feet, slamming across the void!
The imposing golden Great Buddha shattered instantly, dissolving into a storm of exploding Buddha Light shooting skyward.
And the Gold Winged Peng Bird lurking in the Small Cave Heaven unleashed a piercing cry!
"Equalling Heaven! Equalling Heaven, have you lost your mind?!"
"No god dares descend to the mortal realm—they'll be blasted to nothing!"
"For just a Half-step Martial Immortal, is it really worth it?!"
Yet.
A hairy paw seized the golden rod amid a "hehe" chuckle, then thrust it savagely into the Small Cave Heaven like a coiling dragon, pulverizing the formidable Gold Winged Peng Bird into a burst of scattering feathers.
Within the Small Cave Heaven, Old Monkey stood clad in Golden Armor, the Phoenix Feather Purple Gold Crown swaying fiercely, though sans the red cape this time; he hefted the Golden Hoop Stick over his shoulder, grinning with delight.
With one stride, he emerged from the Cave Heaven.
A Mystic Yellow Banner fluttered behind Old Monkey against his Golden Armor.
It was the Gathering Immortal Yellow Flag!
"Old Sun steps out, Old Sun steps back in!"
"Hehe..."
Small Cave Heavens floated in blockade one after another, the eyes of numerous powerhouses bulging with fury—Gathering Immortals Flag! This monkey had actually obtained the Gathering Immortals Flag!
Armed with the Gathering Immortals Flag, even if just one, brief sojourns into the human realm became possible!
This was the supreme treasure of the Dark Heavenly Court's All Gods Camp. How had it ended up with this wretched monkey?!
Certain mighty experts lost their composure, ordering their followers to hoist the Small Cave Heaven before pulling back in haste.
The Qitian Temple God, bearing a flag fixed at his back, dashed in and out amid the fleeing Small Cave Heavens.
Endless screams rang out, far more heartrending than the thunder-blasted Earthly Ghost Emperor's cries.
Boom——!!!
A colossal bolt of lightning tore suddenly between Heaven and Earth, resembling a monstrous dragon!
It seared into the sight of everyone present!
At that instant, the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi stretching five thousand miles was drained completely barren!
All eyes fixed upon the desiccated riverbed of the Grand Canal.
A massive Deep Pit had cratered the riverbed.
Scorching steam hissed upward.
Deep within that pit, a silhouette remained upright, charred black as cinder, barely humanoid.
The violet blaze that raged before now flickered out, vitality seemingly wiped clean.
Suddenly.
A heartbeat thundered forth, fearsome as lightning.
Crack——Crack——
The thunder-scorched, coal-black form stirred gradually; through withering life and death, eternal and undying, charred bits flaked off as eyes flew wide, brilliant golden beams erupting from the sloughing darkness!
Golden light gleamed in Li Che’s eyes; right then, the Calamity faded, the gale hushed.
Within his consciousness, a mighty bell pealed, granting insight into his true realm.
Martial Immortal...
What is Martial Immortal?
Withstand the Heavenly Thunder, revive from demise, mortal strength eclipsing Heaven!
That defines Martial Arts Immortal!
Countless beams lit up Heaven and Earth!
As though wielding humanity's five-thousand-year Martial Fortune at will, affirming the Dao as the only Martial Arts Immortal, its utmost splendor now burst forth!
Even Equalling Heaven stepped from the Small Cave Heaven, flicking gore from his staff, compelled to direct his stare.
How long since forging a Martial Immortal grew so tormenting...
Melancholy and forlornness flickered unavoidably in his gaze.
Has the immortals' epoch truly ended?!
