Li Che annihilated the Sky Wolf Supreme, a powerful foe, using his greatly improved cultivation. He then tasked Gu Yin Xuan and Gu Changqing with extracting the Supreme Essence Blood from the corpse, though Gu Changqing found the Supreme Demon Pill too difficult to refine due to its divine properties. Fang Hanshu, having helped in the battle, departed for Qi Tian City.
In truth, Zhou Heng had already conveyed the unfolding situation to Li Che. The Supreme Xuanzhen and Supreme Jialou had discovered the predicament of the Sky Wolf Supreme, necessitating Fang Hanshu's immediate return to Qi Tian City to manage the fallout. Should any disturbances arise within the Inner City, swift stabilization would be paramount. Li Che offered no words. After Fang Hanshu's departure, his gaze remained fixed upon the deceased form of the Sky Wolf Demon God Supreme. His eyes slowly narrowed. Behind him, the formidable Ten Vicious Ink Splashes was actively absorbing the demon energy and soul of the Sky Wolf Demon God Supreme, a process that signaled its ongoing brewing and transformation. It appeared to be in the midst of creating its third vicious beast. Li Che refrained from an immediate attempt at Soul Capturing. Not only was its success uncertain, but even if it failed, the continued transformation of the Ten Vicious Ink Splashes was a priority. Since Li Che still required the assistance of this Supreme, he opted against Soul Capturing and proceeded directly with its transformation into one of the ten vicious entities. Furthermore, Qi Tian Inner City had also registered the anomaly concerning the Sky Wolf Supreme. Thus, employing the Sky Wolf Supreme for Soul Capturing and a covert return would serve no practical purpose. The Sky Wolf Supreme had irrevocably forfeited its status as a pawn in the grand design. Naturally, this decision was also influenced by Li Che's developed unique perception. The Space-Time Golden Wheel Dao Fruit, residing within his chest, unexpectedly pulsed when he vanquished the Sky Wolf Demon God Supreme. Initially, this sensation went unnoticed, but upon reflection, its significance became clear. With a subtle mental command, he extended his fingers, drawing forth a wisp of the Sky Wolf's demon energy. This fragment of demonic power was swiftly absorbed by the Space-Time Golden Wheel. In the following instant, Li Che perceived the manifestation of a colossal Space-Time Golden Wheel before him. As this cosmic wheel spun, the fabric of space itself began to rupture. Then... behind the Space-Time Golden Wheel, Li Che glimpsed the Qiankun Space belonging to the Sky Wolf Demon God Supreme! The very repository of hidden treasures! Li Che's eyes ignited with newfound intensity! Given his initial intention to transform the Sky Wolf into one of the ten vicious beings, what need was there for Soul Capturing? The purpose of Soul Capturing was merely to elicit the voluntary reveal of the Sky Wolf's Qiankun Space. However, the inherent risk of failure, coupled with the vibrational feedback from the Space-Time Golden Wheel, convinced Li Che to abandon that path and proceed directly to his objective. "It truly worked..." "The Space-Time Golden Wheel possesses the ability to glimpse into another's hidden Qiankun Space?" Li Che's gaze flickered with intrigue. Yet, swiftly, he shook his head. There must be limitations; it could only be observed after the entity's demise... Nevertheless, that was more than sufficient! Even so, by pinpointing the spatial anchor and identifying the Sky Wolf Supreme's Qiankun Space, the maturity of the Space-Time Golden Wheel Dao Fruit saw a significant augmentation. Astonishingly, it advanced directly to fifty percent maturity! This development substantially brightened Li Che's spirits, imbuing him with greater expectations and hopes for the Space-Time Golden Wheel Dao Fruit. Of course, the primary catalyst for his elation was the discovery of a novel method to enhance the Space-Time Golden Wheel Dao Fruit. Previously, its advancement stemmed from the acquisition of space-time power during his travels between Strange Que and the human realm. Now, with an additional avenue available, Li Che's mood naturally soared. With a clench of his fist, he began to siphon the pervasive demon energy. The Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit quivered, ravenously and insatiably devouring the essence. In mere moments... Li Che felt as though he had transformed into a boundless ocean of demon energy, drawing in and concentrating all surrounding demonic power. The Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit, akin to a parched traveler crossing a desert, began to absorb with fervent intensity. Li Che experienced an unparalleled sense of exhilaration! As the siphoning action concluded, a radiant glow emanated before Li Che's eyes. [Dao Fruit: Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (LV7, 10%)] The increase was less than anticipated, a mere ten percent rise, yet Li Che was not taken aback. Ascending beyond LV7, enhancements to Dao Fruits invariably become more arduous. It was predictable that further transformations of the Dao Fruit would present even greater challenges. Numerous Dao Fruit masters found themselves stagnated at the Eighth Transformation, unable to attain the Ninth, precisely because the progression became increasingly formidable. As for Li Che... Possessing a multitude of Dao Fruits, he undoubtedly faced challenges far exceeding those encountered by solitary Dao Fruit masters. Moreover, with his daughter's continued growth, Li Che would undoubtedly accumulate even more Dao Fruits... "Hoo—" Li Che exhaled a breath, his eyes alight with a fervent gleam, as the transformation prompt for the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit unfurled before him. He observed it intently, his focus not solely on the literal text.
Thoughts swirled rapidly in his mind, creating a tempest of ideas.
It’s impossible to give equal attention to all matters; priorities must be established.
Therefore...
He recognized the necessity of strategizing for his Dao Fruits.
However, as his daughter matured year by year, acquiring an additional Dao Fruit, the prospect of an ever-increasing number of Dao Fruits in the future presented a significant challenge in how to plan.
This was, without a doubt, a perplexing puzzle.
BOOM—!!!
A tremor ran through Li Che’s consciousness.
The ink that had been boiling behind him surged forth, and the painting scroll trembled incessantly with a rustling sound before it slowly unfurled.
The image of a fearsome and unmatched ferocious beast began to materialize on the scroll!
It preserved the likeness of the Sky Wolf, yet it exuded a terrifying demonic aura, resembling a menacing hound with sharp fangs and powerful limbs. Its entire form blazed with dark flames, its black fur rippling and exceptionally pure, as if it were a creature wholly steeped in ink.
Gradually, the ink flowed back together.
[Burning Void Huo Dou]
The third formidable beast among the ten!
Dark flames burned fiercely, and a vertical eye situated on its brow opened, spewing black, ink-like flames that warped the very void.
With a single bound, it leaped into the expanse, vanishing instantly. Then, with another stride, it appeared to scorch an opening in the void and emerge from another location!
Rustle, rustle...
Chains thrashed and coiled around the Burning Void Huo Dou’s imposing form!
