Chapter 644 The Hellish Qitian Armor is Reconstructed and Piloted into a Gundam; A Sigh of a Twisted Fate: Nuwa Takes Action Against the Overlord [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Playing dead...

Li Che did indeed sense that the Hellfire Divine Tree was feigning death.

These divine trees of heaven and earth possess their own sentience. If not for the suppression by the will of heaven and earth, these divine trees might have long been able to transform into human form and walk among heaven and earth.

However, even if they fail to transform into human form and are confined to the world by the will of heaven and earth, terrifying divine trees like the Hellfire Divine Tree can still be refined into divine corpses through the accumulation of corpse energy, the accumulation of hellish origins, and the corpses of some powerful individuals who have fallen.

It can even construct and create terrifying beings like immortal corpses. Immortal corpses are very powerful, possessing combat strength comparable to immortal gods.

Even among the many powerful divine corpses refined by the Hellfire Tree, the Immortal Corpse is among the most top-tier.

Therefore, if Li Che wanted to cut open the Hellfire Divine Wood and use it like other divine woods to carve parts for mechanical armor, he had to suppress, or even kill, the spirituality within the Hellfire Divine Wood!
This is crucial; only by suppressing his spirituality can Li Che begin carving freely and easily.

The carving of the mechanical armor was a crucial part of Li Che's revival of Qi Tian and the Third Prince, and no mistakes could be tolerated.

If the Prison Lotus faction wants to launch a counterattack against the three major god factions, it absolutely cannot do without the two top combat forces, Qi Tian and the Third Prince.

Moreover, the mechanical armor must be crafted to a level that can fully bear the primordial power of Qi Tian and the Third Prince.

Only in this way can the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and the Third Prince unleash their full power and reach a level comparable to the Emperor-level Immortal!

"The Dao Tree..."

Rumbling--

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, terrifying divine winds howled incessantly, as if trying to blow away and shatter one's soul.

The Dao Tree Space is very mysterious and has an extremely strong suppressive force. Even now, when Li Che enters the Dao Tree Space, he still feels extremely oppressed and finds it difficult to fully exert his strength.

It was as if a powerful will was suppressing it from the shadows.

Li Che knew that it must be the will of the Dao Tree, the consciousness born from this incomparably powerful Dao Tree.

"The Dao Tree... perhaps it had consciousness from the very beginning. Even though I had just awakened and entered the Dao Tree space, the Dao Tree already possessed a powerful will that could suppress everything."

Li Che pondered.

He stood on the vast land, his gaze sweeping across a desolate expanse with only broken stones and howling winds that whipped up the sand and gravel, the sound of which was like the sound of waves crashing against the ground.

The entire land was desolate, as if the only living thing in the world was the Dao Tree that soared into the clouds and enveloped the stars.

On this vast, desolate land, not even a single blade of grass existed.

All life was stripped of its vitality, and all its energy was plundered by the Dao Tree.

Therefore, the Dao Tree can grow to the height of the sky, and bear abundant Dao Fruits.

hum-

Li Che, dragging the Hellfire Divine Tree with his five fingers, stood on the desolate land, raising his eyes to look at the towering Dao Tree, feeling its terrifying pressure.

The Hellfire Divine Wood in his hand fell completely silent, as if the will within it had severed itself.

It seemed as if they dared not reveal even the slightest secret.

Li Che withdrew his gaze, a smile playing on his lips.

The Dao Tree Space is one of Li Che's biggest secrets; he has never brought anyone else or any powerful being into it.

Although the Hellfire Sacred Tree is just a branch, it is considered a living being because it possesses consciousness.

This is the first conscious being that Li Che has brought in so far.

"It seems to be working quite well. I'm best at using someone else's power to intimidate others."

Li Che laughed, feeling quite cheerful.

Feeling the extremely obedient Hellfire Divine Wood, Li Che spread his five fingers wide, and seven ancient talismans of heaven and earth began to circulate on his fingertips.

Then, it transformed into the Seven Symbols Carving Knife of Heaven and Earth.

News of the Dao Fruit's transformation kept coming in, but Li Che was too lazy to pay much attention to it.

This procedural matter is of little significance to Li Che at the moment.

The main reason is that after the last time they secretly peeked into the Immaculate Heart Fruit and saw the shadow of the Fruit Master reflected in it.

Dao Shu has probably learned his lesson and will definitely not give Li Che the chance to sneak around watching anymore.

Therefore, Li Che was too lazy to follow the proper procedures anymore.

The fruit of the Tao undergoes eight transformations, automatically becoming abundant and hanging down upon it.

It exudes a rich fragrance and energy.

Li Che glanced at it briefly before looking away. The Hell Dao Fruit and the Immortal Dao Fruit in the painting had both undergone eight transformations.

Li Che let them transform on their own.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Dao Tree suppressing the Hellfire Divine Wood, he began to cut and carve the Hellfire Divine Wood.

laugh--

The blade sliced ​​into the Hellfire Sacred Tree, and it seemed as if crimson blood was flowing out.

Li Che could clearly feel that the Hellfire Divine Tree was trembling incessantly. The trembling was very small and extremely subtle, but it was obvious that a surge of anger was building up.

It seemed to be trying to swing back and forth, just as it had in the underworld, in order to break free from Li Che's carving knife.

As it struggled and thrashed, it became increasingly difficult for Li Che to make a move.

The idea behind Hellfire Sacred Tree is simple, but it is very useful.

However, now, within the Dao Tree space, they feel the suppression from the higher, more majestic, and terrifying level of the Dao Tree.

The Hellfire Divine Tree could only tremble secretly, as if it had broken all its teeth, swallowing its grievances.

Li Che was allowed to do whatever he wanted with its body.

Li Che almost burst out laughing; this Hellfire Divine Wood was just too adorable.

It's so cute that you can't help but want to make a few more cuts.

As the carving knife fell continuously, Li Che's eyes gradually sharpened, and he began to carve the Qitian Armor.

This Hellfire Divine Tree has plenty of wood, enough to support Li Che in carving and making the Qitian Armor, but it might not be enough for the Third Prince's mechanical armor.

However, it's not a big problem. The Third Prince is being nurtured by a divine flesh ball, which will eventually give birth to a real physical body. He can then be dressed in some mechanical armor.

It doesn't need to be completely covered inside the mechanical armor.

The Qitian Armor is a Gundam version, while the Third Prince's armor is a close-fitting armor version.

There are differences between the two, but both can bring out the best in each other's combat capabilities!
Because the previous Qitian Armor was not made by Li Che, but with Li Che's current level of divine carving skills, he could have seen through the production process and difficulties of the Qitian Armor long ago.

It's safe to say that replicating the Monkey King Armor one-to-one is not a problem at all.

However, Li Che naturally couldn't choose a one-to-one replica; he wanted to create the Qitian Armor using his own mechanical skills!

The old Qitian Armor is broken, perfect... to make a brand new Qitian Armor!
hum-

The Seven Symbols Carving Knife in Li Che's palm kept changing size, and the seven ancient symbols kept flashing, driving the blade light to continuously wash over the Hellfire Divine Wood.

With each breath, it feels as if a thousand blades are cutting through it, carving countless lines into it. These lines, pieced together continuously, form the extremely fine meridians of the human body.

Li Che's blood and energy erupted, and leaving a mark on the incredibly tough Hellfire Divine Wood was no easy feat.

Li Che must fully display his strength in order to deliver one blow after another.

As the carving progressed, the will of the Hellfire Sacred Tree seemed to gradually calm down, as if it had become familiar with Li Che's carving and submitted to the cutting of the knife.

Soon, Qi Tianjia's head took shape, every single ape hair was lifelike, and they could even collide with each other when the wind blew.

Each and every single monkey hair is engraved with the Nine Divine Seals of the Mechanism and imbued with ancient talismans of heaven and earth.

Li Che continued carving, the Seven Talisman Blades of Heaven and Earth in his hand constantly rotating, cutting down the Hellfire Divine Wood and carving it into a body. The body was not just a simple external carving; the internal organs, meridians, and bones were all present.

They all took shape under the carving of the engraving knife!
Li Che's knife moved slower and slower because the carving inside required penetrating through the surface with force, and the toughness of the Hellfire Divine Wood made this extremely difficult.

Some internal blood vessels can be cut or ruptured with the slightest carelessness, causing extremely serious consequences!
Therefore, while Li Che's sword moved slower, the output of power actually became more immense.

Time passes bit by bit.

The Dao Tree Space did not expel Li Che. Perhaps, as Li Che has now become the master of many Dao Fruits of the Eighth Transformation, he also has some autonomy in the Dao Tree Space.

Perhaps the Dao Tree also sensed the Hellfire Divine Tree and was assisting Li Che in suppressing the will of the Fire Divine Tree.

It can be considered an extra gift for the Lord of Dao Fruit.

Li Che lost track of time, not knowing how much time had passed.

When the final blow fell.

The last part of the Qitian Armor, namely its tail, was successfully carved.

On the tail alone, Li Che carved over a million mechanical divine seals, each one carved from ancient talismans of heaven and earth.

Even Li Che was pale-faced, his energy and spirit greatly depleted.

The qi and blood in his body seemed somewhat unstable and began to sway.

Rumbling--

Within the Dao Tree Space.

Every part of the Qitian Armor was sculpted perfectly: head, torso, arms, legs, tail...

Carved from Hellfire Sacred Wood, it features the ever-burning flames of hell and the surging, overflowing essence of hell.

Now, Li Che's task is to assemble it.

but……

Rumbling--

The space around the Dao Tree suddenly trembled.

Li Che knew he could no longer stay in the Dao Tree space, so he took a step forward and exited the Dao Tree space, taking the Qi Tian Armor's parts with him.

boom--

After leaving the Dao Tree space, Li Che appeared directly in the Netherworld.

The chessboard of heaven and earth suddenly expanded and enveloped Li Che's figure. In addition, it also suppressed the will to resist the slight tremor of the Hellfire Divine Wood on the Qitian Armor.

Li Che's cold gaze swept over them, and he raised his hand, touching his brow.

The powerful will of the Martial Immortal instantly transformed into countless tentacles that spread out, connecting with every component of the Qitian Armor and communicating with the will of the Hellfire Divine Tree.

They used a tree as a form of intimidation!
The will of the Hellfire Divine Tree had actually been torn to pieces during Li Che's cutting and carving process.

Now that the will has been suppressed, it no longer affects Li Che.

Li Che's eyes opened and closed, as if golden light was flashing within them.

With a thought, the components of the Qitian Armor began to connect and close together, producing a clanging sound, a shockwave, and even stirring up a terrifying aura of hellish origin!

The Qitian Armor closed, reaching a height of ten zhang, while the mechanical divine seal on it flickered, and seven ancient runes intertwined, as if bursting forth with energy, causing the Qitian Armor to continuously expand and grow larger.

It can reach heights of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of feet!

"I left space for carving the remaining two ancient runes in each of the mechanical divine seals... Once I comprehend the remaining two ancient runes of heaven and earth, I can upgrade the Hellish Heavenly Armor with a single thought."

A slight smile curved Li Che's lips.

Admiring his masterpiece. Because it was a complete redesign, not a modification of the original Qitian Armor, Li Che was able to prepare some preventative measures in advance.

"However, since it is carved from Hellfire Sacred Wood, a large amount of Hellfire Essence is needed to activate the Hellfire Armor..."

"If I were to return to the depths of hell now, I fear I would never come back... I would have no chance of escaping."

Li Che's eyes flickered.

The origins of hell are not easy to deal with.

but……

Li Che had already conceived the idea when he was making and designing the Qitian Armor.

Now, let's take direct action.

His figure floated up and slowly hovered at the chest of Hell Qitianjia.

Here, Li Che also left a space, which is the place where Qi Tian's origin was injected, and also the place where Qi Tian's will was revived.

Now, Li Che no longer needs to insert the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) into it as an energy source.

He simply changed the source.

Raise your hand and pat it on your chest.

next moment……

It was as if a shimmering, crystalline Dao fruit had been plucked from the Dao tree, with rich hellish essence constantly swirling around it.

The Eightfold Hell Path Fruit!

It was picked directly by Li Che and descended from the Dao Tree space, from illusion to reality!
Without any hesitation, Li Che slammed the Hell Dao Fruit into the heart of the Hell Qitian Armor.

hum-

On the cold and ruthless ape head of the Hellish Qitian Armor, the eyes suddenly flashed with a brilliant light, an incomparably dark light, and even countless hellfires were burning fiercely.

The will of the Hellfire Divine Tree, which had initially resisted, simply lay down and completely accepted this new form and identity.

Rumbling--

"So powerful!"

Originating from the Eight Transformations Dao Fruit, the surging Hell Origin made the Hell Qitian Armor seem to be fully revived.

"Let me test the waters..."

A smile appeared on Li Che's lips.

He then took a step and entered the inner space of the Hellish Armor.

dong dong dong-

It was as if a giant heart was beating continuously.

That beating heart is the fruit of the hell realm.

The rich source of hellish energy seemed to transform into countless threads, spreading outwards and penetrating every part of the Hellish Armor's space, becoming the source connecting the Armor's blood vessels and nerves.

Li Che appeared in this space, at the moment he connected the Martial Immortal's will with the origin of hell.

He then gained the qualification to control the Hellish Armor!

hum-

Li Che suddenly opened his eyes, and the next moment, the Hellish Qitian Armor seemed to open its eyes as well, its scarlet eyes flashing with coldness.

Li Che raised his head, and Hell Qitianjia followed suit, looking towards the Emperor-level Immortal Asura Emperor under the command of the Death Sovereign, who was stationed at the Netherworld Pass outside the cover of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard!
"Is this feeling... like piloting a Gundam?"

Li Che smiled.

Unbeknownst to me, the dreams I had when I first came into this world have now all come true.

The chessboard of heaven and earth trembled. Li Che flicked his finger, and a golden light shot out, piercing the barrier inside the Hellish Qitian Armor.

The barrier writhed, as if swallowing the Hunyuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel. As it writhed, it traveled along the meridians of Qitianjia and into the eardrums of Hell Qitianjia.

Then, with a soft "poof".

Golden light pierced through the cliff, shooting out from Hell Qitian Armor's eardrums like an embroidery needle!

buzzing-

As it rotates, it gets thicker and bigger!

boom--

Finally, it was gripped tightly by the hairy palm of the Hellish Qitian Armor.

In reality, the Hellish Qitian Armor was a hundred feet tall at this moment, gripping the equally hundred-foot-tall Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel), with countless hellfires bursting forth from every mechanical divine seal.

The chessboard of heaven and earth vanished in an instant.

Li Che transformed into a streak of light, continuously squeezing out the Hellish Origin from within the Hellish Dao Fruit.

It slammed down hard on the Asura King, who was sitting cross-legged at the mouth of the Netherworld, meditating and comprehending the origin of death!
One strike, and the heavens are shattered!
Boom boom boom——

The netherworld seemed to tremble, the air currents were shattered, and the void trembled continuously.

Li Che, who was controlling the Hellish Armor, released all the Xuanxian blood and energy of the second level of the Heavenly Realm. Combined with the Hellish Dao Fruit within the Armor, his aura and combat power rose steadily!
The Hellish Armor was like an amplifier, constantly boosting Li Che's combat power to new heights!

The Asura Emperor suddenly opened his eyes. Sitting upright in the funnel, his eyes were filled with a bright, scarlet color.

"Insolence! Who dares to call themselves a petty scoundrel!"

The Asura Emperor roared and stood up instantly. His perfect body was covered with ancient Netherworld runes, and four bat-like wings spread out behind him, blotting out the sky!
With his five fingers spread wide, a three-pronged fork appeared in his hand, which he gripped tightly, the very essence of death surging forth.

The Asura Emperor spotted the Hellish Armor, which was a hundred feet tall, at a glance.

The raging, scorching flames of hell ignited and distorted the void. Only when the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the golden cudgel) crashed down did the Asura Emperor finally see the true form of the Hellish Qitian Armor!
"This is……"

"The Prison Lotus Reaching the Heavens?!"

The Asura Emperor was startled.

As a royal-level immortal under the Death Overlord in the Netherworld camp, he naturally knew about the Prison Lotus and also knew about Qi Tian!
When——!
The collision shook the heavens and earth, and the ripples from the impact seemed to cause the vortex funnel of the Netherworld to explode with a roar!

On the Qitian Armor, countless mechanical divine seals were operating at their maximum capacity. The primordial energy squeezed out by the Eight Transformations Hell Dao Fruit was frantically transformed into a source of energy, urging the Qitian Armor of Hell to launch an even more ferocious attack!
Li Che swept out with his staff, unleashing Qi Tian's secret fighting technique.

At this moment, Li Che was as if he had transformed into the real Qitian!
He is now completely different from when he could only rely on a little bit of the Qitian Origin.

Rather, it possesses power truly comparable to the level of the Immortal Heaven!

With a thought, Li Che manipulated the Hellish Armor to unleash its killing intent, forcing the Asura Emperor to shift his position and reveal his true form.

With a flick of a finger.

Four black chess pieces shot out.

In an instant, they transformed into the four immortals under the command of the Heavenly Emperor in the void.

These are the four immortal realms: God-Slaying, God-Slaughtering, God-Trapping, and God-Severing!
As the four roared, they formed the God-Slaying Sword Formation, which instantly transformed into a killing field, enveloping the Asura Emperor within it.

Back then, this God-Slaying Sword Formation even managed to stop and restrain Qi Tian for a long time.

This Asura Emperor's combat power is even stronger than Qi Tian's when he ignited his origin. However, the God-Slaying Sword Formation can still hold him back for a moment, buying Li Che some time.

All Li Che needed was time.

"boom--!!!"

"You little thief!!!"

And when Li Che removed the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

Two terrifying auras erupted from the Netherworld almost simultaneously, like two pillars supporting the Netherworld!

They are the Lord of Death and the Lord of the Underworld!
The Death Ruler was acting on the report from the Asura Emperor after he was attacked.

The Netherworld Ruler simply memorized Li Che's aura; he remembered this petty thief's aura far too deeply!

Inside the Hellish Armor, Li Che's expression changed slightly.

"Come so fast?"

Li Che took a deep breath. He had only just revealed a little bit of his aura when he was immediately approached by the two rulers.

can only say……

These two rulers of the underworld truly hold grudges.

boom--! ! !
Li Che flicked his finger again.

The Immortal Sparrow Emperor, the Immortal Toad Emperor, and other powerful immortals also burst forth, roaring as they rushed towards the two rulers to block their path.

Although they were at the level of immortality, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

But for Li Che, that was enough.

boom--! ! !
The Netherworld's mouth contained not only the Asura Emperor, but also numerous Netherworld Immortal powerhouses under the command of the Death Sovereign!
They all suddenly rose up to stop Li Che.

But at this moment, Li Che, clad in the Hellish Armor and wielding the Hellish Dao Fruit, possessed unparalleled combat power.

The Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) pressed down, suppressing these immortal gods.

Li Che did not linger in battle; his goal was to rush towards the edge of the Netherworld Pass.

A barrier of darkness stands tall.

Li Che directly unleashed the source of hell upon it, and the cliff shattered with a deafening roar!

And in that short gap of time...

The terrifying auras of the two supreme rulers are already rolling in!

Without any hesitation, Li Che rushed out of the Netherworld Gate!
at the same time.

At the entrance to the underworld, a graceful figure stood there, looking at him with a complex expression.

Queen Nuwa!

Nuwa saw through Li Che in Hell Armor at a glance.

In her eyes, countless images flashed and intertwined, messages conveyed by her reincarnation, Zhang Ya.

In the message, she and Li Che had a daughter named Xi Xi, who became the daughter of Yu Lian.

Li Che has been working tirelessly and becoming stronger for the sake of his family, going from being penniless to standing at the pinnacle of power...

This slightly moved Nuwa.

"A tragic fate..."

He sighed softly.

A terrifying demonic aura emanated from Nuwa.

It transformed into an enormous snake tail and swept out with a roar.

It slammed down hard on the Death Lord and the Netherworld Lord, who were trying to rush out of the Netherworld Gate to pursue them.
