As a father, I just want to watch you live forever...

Chapter 669 My Father is Li Che! [The Finale]

Was it the Heavenly Emperor who created the bondage of the Dao Tree?

Throughout the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the only one capable of orchestrating such a grand undertaking is probably the Heavenly Emperor.

Who is the Heavenly Emperor?
Li Che has no clue or idea so far.

However, he had a guess.

"Are you the boss?"

Li Che's heart trembled slightly. Could the boss be the Heavenly Emperor?
It's a possibility, but I always felt it was unlikely; that was my intuition telling me.

Now that he has broken through to become a Great Luo Celestial Immortal, Li Che's intuition is no ordinary thing and cannot be ignored. The intuition of a Great Luo Celestial Immortal can even see through the past, present, and future!

Li Che shook his head, not giving it much thought.

When the fog obscures our vision, it is meaningless to ponder any questions, as all of them present the illusion of misjudgment.

Well then... we'll deal with whatever comes our way, one step at a time.

However, one must be more prudent and think about strategies and methods to deal with problems when they arise.

Even if one truly falls into an endless abyss, there is still hope for resistance and a comeback, rather than falling completely into the abyss and losing all hope.

Li Che hovered in the void of Helutian, his body surging with a terrifying aura, his whole being like a black hole.

The nine vortexes floating behind it each possess the power to annihilate Helutian.

Every move they make seems capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, destroying the world.

The power of a Great Luo Celestial Immortal far surpasses the combat strength of a Celestial Immortal achieved through normal martial arts.

This is the most powerful martial arts combat force.

It possesses a power at the true level of a ruler, capable of overwhelming all gods in the heavens and earth.

His jet-black hair no longer flowed with golden light, and his blood even returned to a deep red, like that of a normal person. But the energy contained in each drop of blood was almost enough to pierce through the void.

shhhhh--

The sound of breaking through the air resounded.

One by one, the gods, including Qi Tian, ​​the Third Prince, Di Hong, Taiyi Immortal, and Huang Jianjiu, rushed to gather.

The four immortal sword masters, Zhushen, Lushen, Xianshen, and Jueshen, had incredibly fervent gazes at this moment.

Li Che glanced at them, flicked his finger, and sword light seemed to bloom like a flower at his fingertip, spreading into their brows. The four gods broke through their bottlenecks, comprehended the sword dao transmitted by Li Che, and directly reached the level of immortality.

It even has the potential to reach the level of Emperor.

Because this is the swordsmanship taught by Li Che.

The way of the sword of a sovereign.

"Thank you, Lord!"

The four deities were extremely respectful.

Li Che nodded, looked at Qi Tian, ​​the Third Prince, and the others, and let out a breath.

"Success."

Stretching, Li Che's powerful aura instantly subsided, and he seemed to fall into complete silence.

A power at the level of a ruler, which can be controlled at will.

He raised his hand, and between his five fingers floated five fruits that shimmered with seven colors, as if they were pulling the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, producing a booming sound.

It was as if the great Dao of the nine heavens and ten earths had been completely compressed into a single fruit, containing boundless and terrifying power.

Tao Fruit!

Qi Tian, ​​the Third Prince, and the others looked at these Dao Fruits, their minds trembling violently, as if they were filled with boundless longing and hope.

With the five Dao Fruits—Immaculate Heart, Chess Saint, Demon Emperor, Thunder Magnetic Dao Body, and Time-Space Golden Wheel—he has completely completed the Nine Transformations.

The five masters of the Dao Fruit have completed their return to their rightful places.

"No, not five... just four."

"The Buddhas of the three worlds seem not to have returned to their rightful place."

Li Che seemed to have thought of something.

He killed the Three Buddhas, and it seems that the other party had known about the existence of the Dao Fruit all along, and knew the secret of being the master of the Dao Fruit.

However, it did not touch the light of the Great Dream.

Therefore... the Buddhas of the Three Worlds... have not completely died.

"Or rather, he used the method of three incarnations to complete... the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell!"

Golden Cicada...

Li Che suddenly understood.

No wonder the Immortal Golden Cicada was able to suddenly unleash its power, using its newly ascended Immortal strength to cleave Emperor Hong, a king-level being, into three pieces.

It turns out that it wasn't the Immortal Golden Cicada that made the move, but the Three Worlds Tathagata!

Reborn, or rather... the Buddha of the Three Worlds freed from his shackles.

"Perhaps, all of this was what the Buddha sought."

The person who stirred up the eighth divine tide was none other than the Three Buddhas, who were probably trying to completely break free from the shackles of the Dao Tree and escape the fate of returning to the Dao Fruit!
With his eyes slightly closed, Li Che's mind stirred.

The next moment, the Chess Saint's Dao Fruit suddenly trembled, as if a chessboard net had spread out in an instant, with his body as the center point, reaching all directions.

The entire Helu Heaven was instantly enveloped within it, and then continued to expand, even the spatial passage could not contain the envelopment of this chessboard.

Each and every celestial realm was enveloped within it.

Even the Heavenly Domain of the Demon Cave was within Li Che's range.

Suddenly.

Li Che opened his eyes, and the void around him instantly exploded, as if shattered into fragments.

The person had vanished from the spot.

Qi Tian, ​​the Third Prince, and the others were stunned, seemingly not understanding where Li Che had gone.

However, watching Li Che disappear from the spot, they could only sigh, realizing that they were now completely unable to keep up with Li Che's pace.

But that's normal. How could they possibly keep up with the pace of a ruler?

Throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so far, apart from the Heavenly Emperor, only Li Che has reached the combat power of a Dominator!

"Hehehe... The Prison Lotus faction has truly won an unprecedented victory in this Divine Tide!"

"A true turnaround!"

The Prison Lotus faction during the first Divine Tide was extremely powerful, seemingly driven by an invisible force.

This led to the faction of the Prison Lotus nearly wiping out half of the gods.

Ancient gods fell like rain, and although the three major god factions rose to power, they too perished one after another.

Although the first generation of the Divine Tide Hell Lotus faction was defeated, it brought a terrifying Hell Lotus shock to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

However, this was only the first generation of the Divine Tide.

With the Third Prince being beheaded, and the gods of the Prison Lotus faction, including Qi Tian and the Three-Eyed True Lord, falling and transforming into temple gods in the human world, everything came to an end.

In the six subsequent divine tides, the Prison Lotus faction never rose to prominence in any of them.

They were all schemed against by various emperor-level immortals, and ultimately met a tragic end.

But this eighth divine tide is completely different.

"Let's go, back to the hideout!"

Qi Tian, ​​carrying the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff), smiled broadly as he, along with the Third Prince and other deities, crossed back to the Hell Lotus Land.

……

……

And the other side.

Li Che traversed time and space in an instant, with the golden wheel of time and space intertwined around him. Space and time were no obstacle in front of him.

Divine craftsmanship.

The celestial realm he had opened up trembled incessantly, and with Li Che's arrival, it experienced a violent roar.

Li Che's expression was cold.

In the Divine Craftsmanship Heaven, many of the great immortals of the demon race, the Divine Eagle, perished one after another, their flesh and blood cut into three pieces, and they died tragically in the Ten Thousand Great Rivers.

All I can say is that it was truly tragic.

Li Che's gaze swept across the area and landed on the Divine Eagle Mountain where Nuwa was located.

However, at this moment, it was completely empty.

Nuwa's divine sculpture mountain was cleaved in two by three terrifying forces of law, causing it to collapse completely. Nuwa's statue disappeared, and Nuwa herself, who was sitting in it, vanished without a trace.

The Netherworld Gate was constantly turning; having lost the suppression of Nuwa, it was continuously spewing out the power of ghosts and gods.

Nuwa has disappeared!
Moreover, the entire Divine Crafting Heaven clearly experienced an extremely dangerous battle.

Because on the other side, Li Che was also fighting, and was facing the Nine Ancient Divine Generals of Heaven and Earth. The pressure was so great that he had no other thoughts to pay attention to the battle here.

Unexpectedly, the battle here was so fierce.

The vast river was almost entirely slaughtered by one man, and was completely shrouded in the color of blood.

Originally, Li Che thought that with Nuwa presiding over this place, there was no need to worry about the safety of Shen Gong Tian. After all, there were almost no powerful beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths who could suppress Nuwa.

Unless it was that mysterious Heavenly Emperor descending, but now it seems that Li Che might have guessed wrong.

"Was it done by the Immortal Golden Cicada? No, it should be said that it was done by the true form of the Three Buddhas after the Golden Cicada shed its shell!"

Li Che frowned, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

"And being able to suppress Nuwa and slaughter the entire Divine Craftsmanship Heaven, could the Tathagata's combat power after shedding his skin have already reached the level of a ruler?"

hum-

Li Che's body seemed to flicker and teleport, appearing at the location where the Nuwa Divine Mountain had been severed.

Reach out and touch the traces left by the three strands of power of rules.

The forces of the past, present, and future are intertwined within it, creating a sense of chaos—a force that tears apart and breaks free of constraints.

"It really is the power of a ruler!"

Li Che's eyes narrowed involuntarily!

"The Tathagata, having shed his skin like a cicada, actually possesses the power of a ruler... But if the Tathagata has such combat strength, why doesn't he come to disrupt my breakthrough and advancement?"

Li Che's expression was more solemn than ever before.

Instead of interfering with his breakthrough to the realm of the Sovereign, Tathagata went to cause trouble for Nuwa.

It was he who broke through to the Dominator realm, not Nuwa...

However, Li Che's mind stirred and he immediately understood why Tathagata did not stop him from breaking through to the Dominator Realm.

"The Tathagata was originally the master of the Dao Fruit. He used the method of shedding his skin to get rid of the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit. He knew the secrets of the Dao Fruit, but he still did not stop me from shedding the Dao Fruit and allowed it to continue to grow stronger in my hands!"

"I even used the molting process of a cicada shedding its shell to help me achieve the ninth transformation of the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit!"

"He didn't stop me from breaking through, so it seems... he hasn't completely given up on the Dao Fruit, hasn't completely abandoned it. His target... might be me!"

"That's why he didn't sabotage my breakthrough."

Li Che took a deep breath, made a preliminary judgment in his mind, and then focused his gaze on the severed sacred mountain.

Behind them, the golden wheel of time and space suddenly began to spin, emitting a clanging sound.

Li Che's eyes seemed to transform into an unfathomable vortex, swirling and reflecting countless images before his eyes.

Shouts of battle, furious roars, demonic energy soaring to the sky, blood splattering, and all things annihilated!
Three beams of Buddha light, cutting through everything, come from the past, present, and future, and are unstoppable!
One by one, the great immortals of the demon race fell and died, their spirits filled with resentment, anger, and regret, as they collapsed on the sacred mountain of the Ten Thousand Rivers of the Demon Cave.

With a change of perspective, Li Che easily retraced time, clearing away the fog of the intertwined forces of the three rules, and witnessed the clash between Nuwa and Tathagata.

Nuwa was clearly no match for Tathagata, who had escaped his predicament through death and severed his shackles to regain his supreme power.

Despite their all-out resistance, even after abandoning the suppression of the Netherworld Mouth, they were still suppressed by the Buddha's terrifying hand, which combined the power of the three rules of the past, present, and future.

It was swallowed whole by the Buddha and placed into the Buddha's realm.

Li Che hovered beside the sacred mountain, his gaze gradually hardening.

Because, as the Buddha slowly turned around, he put his palms together, and a peaceful Buddhist light shone on his body, as if he were converting the entire Divine Craftsmanship Heaven.

His gaze fell upon him, and he smiled slightly, meeting Li Che's gaze that seemed to transcend time and space.

"Amitabha."

“Benefactor Li.”

"This humble monk will now make a journey to the Abyss of Reincarnation to check on the safety of the mother of Yu Lian's daughter, for Benefactor Li."

"This humble monk, with a heart full of compassion, is willing to rescue the mother of Yu Lian's daughter and the wife of Benefactor Li..."

"However, this humble monk only needs a little something. Whatever the Lord of Reincarnation needs, this humble monk will take..."

“Benefactor Li, we met in the Abyss of Reincarnation.”

It seemed as if Tathagata knew that Li Che would travel back in time to observe this battle.

Therefore, his words were directed at Li Che.

"The eighth divine tide ended when Benefactor Li broke through to the Martial Dao Celestial Immortal realm."

"And the Ninth Divine Tide also began at the same time."

"The final divine tide is the moment when heaven and earth are at their weakest. We have only this one chance to break free from our shackles."

The Buddha clasped his hands together and said, "The universe is so vast, and time and space are so expansive. What we see is but a drop in the ocean."

"Only when we break free from our cages can we see a wider world and truly achieve freedom."

The scene was then swept away by three terrifying beams of Buddhist light, shattering into countless fine golden rays that scattered across the Divine Craftsmanship Heaven.

Li Che hovered beside the sacred mountain, his black robes fluttering in the wind, the sleeves whipping through the void like an incomparably sharp divine blade, cutting the void directly in two.

This black robe, embroidered with golden lotuses, was embroidered by his wife herself, and now it has long since reached the level of an imperial-grade immortal artifact.

Li Che's face was extremely gloomy.

He guessed right!
The Buddha's target was indeed him, or rather...

Like the Lord of Reincarnation, their goal was the Dao Fruit of Nine Transformations that he possessed!

However, the path to the ninth stage of reincarnation is still far from being completed.

After the Tathagata Golden Toad sheds its shell, its goal is the Nine Transformations Dao Fruit. It wants to use its shed shell to jump out and then refine the Dao Fruit again, so as to break the deadlock in the ninth divine tide.

"Was the Ninth Divine Tide His weakest moment?"

Li Che suddenly frowned, thinking of the words Buddha had spoken.

Who is "He" mentioned by the Buddha?

The Buddha's words about breaking free from the cage are not hard to understand. Everything he did was in pursuit of freedom, yearning for the boundless universe and the sea of ​​stars, which is also understandable...

But who is He?

The will of heaven and earth?

Li Che's eyes flickered, his heart trembled slightly, and he was somewhat bewildered for a moment.

Can the will of heaven and earth be broken simply by reaching the level of a ruler?
Shaking his head, Li Che gently exhaled, suppressing the unease in his heart. It was the unease brought on by the unknown, like a fog rushing towards him.

The powerful martial immortal will shook him, and Li Che's gaze returned to its coldness, his mind becoming extremely calm.

With a flick of his bare hand, the power of the three great rules snapped like shackles, dissipating completely.

It gracefully landed on the split sacred mountain, leaving only the base of the Nuwa statue, which was intricately carved.

Li Che landed in front of the base, which was incredibly huge, like a giant lotus platform, but every lotus petal on the platform was carved with images.

As Li Che strolled along the side, he was slightly taken aback. He saw the scene on the lotus petals and was immediately struck by a thunderous shock.

He slowly raised his hand and stroked the carved relief image.

The scene depicts what appears to be a person's entire life.

She was born a little girl into an ordinary family in a small town. Her father and mother were both struggling to make ends meet. As she grew up, she was unable to cultivate herself and lived the life of an ordinary person. On the day she came of age, her parents arranged a marriage for her with a carving apprentice who worked as a porter in a carving shop.

Although they may not become extremely wealthy, they can earn some hard-earned money and live a peaceful life.

……

As you run your hand over the relief, the scene comes to life, as if it were not a relief but a real life.

The touch of time seeped slowly from the relief, flowing down Li Che's palm and into his body and mind.

The days passed by.

The young girl became pregnant, and her belly grew bigger day by day. She lost her slender figure and began to become bloated, but she looked forward to the day when her husband would come home from work.

At home, she would talk to the baby in her belly every day, dreaming about the future and hoping for life after the baby was born, filled with anxiety and fear.

Every night, she would dream of a lotus flower. In each dream, a petal would fall from the lotus, and a voice would tell her that eating the lotus petal would be good for her child.

She began to try to eat lotus petals in her dreams every day.

One slice, two slices, three slices... until all nine slices were eaten.

My daughter was born.

Li Che's expression was incredibly complicated.

Because what is carved on this lotus platform is Zhang Ya's life story.

On that relief, Li Che also saw his image, which was everything that happened in this generation's divine tide.

After Xixi was born, the family began to change. They were no longer poor, and her husband began to become very capable, earning more and more money for the family. He entered the carving shop and even went to the prefectural city, the Dao city, and the capital city...

She was just a submissive wife, always quietly following along.

She was watching over her husband and her daughter; her daughter and husband became her whole world.

The image exudes a powerful sense of order and structure.

"The power of the past, present, and future... the power of the rules severed by the Buddhas of the Three Worlds, has seeped in?"

With a thought, Li Che felt the power of rules emanating from the lotus platform continuously coiling around his palm like chains of order.

After draining the power of this "present" rule, Li Che's eyes seemed to suddenly burst forth with an extremely brilliant light, seeing through the lotus platform.

Within the lotus platform, a dazzling white light was seen.

"Divine craftsmanship..."

Li Che took a deep breath. This was a divine craftsmanship fruit left behind by Nuwa!

Unexpectedly, Nuwa left behind the Dao Fruit Origin, the master of immortal craftsmanship, within her lotus throne!
With this source of the Immortal Craftsmanship Fruit, the master of the Immortal Craftsmanship Fruit can return to his rightful place!
Knowing that she could not defeat the power of the Three Buddhas who had regained their dominion, Nuwa chose to leave behind the origin of the Immortal Craftsmanship Fruit after being suppressed, which was naturally left to Li Che.

Moreover, to obtain the essence of the Immortal Craftsmanship Fruit, one needs to resonate with the relief carved on the lotus seat at the level of will, and experience a collision of life's encounters.

At this moment, Li Che's feelings suddenly became complicated.

He was starting to lose his composure. Was Zhang Ya the reincarnation of Nuwa, or... was Zhang Ya Nuwa herself?
Because the power of time left on the relief carved by Nuwa was carved before the divine tide began!
But anyway.

Li Che absolutely has to go through the Abyss of Reincarnation!
hum-

A brilliant light burst forth from between his brows, and in the next moment, the essence of the Immortal Craftsmanship Fruit embedded in the center of the lotus platform was drawn out from the lotus platform by an invisible force.

It seemed to transform into dazzling white starlight, constantly scattering and finally gathering in Li Che's palm.

It transformed into a statue resembling Nuwa.

This is the origin of the immortal craftsmanship and the Dao fruit!

It contains the divine craftsmanship and will of Nuwa, the peerless ancestral sculptor!
"The Immortal Craftsmanship Fruit...returns to its rightful place!"

Li Che murmured.

Within his chest cavity, the Immortal Craftsmanship Fruit trembled violently, leaping out and gradually devouring the original essence of the Immortal Craftsmanship Fruit left behind by Nuwa.

As it absorbed the power, the Immortal Craftsmanship Fruit began its final transformation.

Countless rays of light, as if displaying a rainbow of colors, converged on the Immortal Craftsmanship Fruit. One beam of light after another, like a mirror, reflected the myriad universes and billions of stars!
Li Che sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, his whole being falling into an unprecedented state of tranquility.

He opened his eyes, and a booming sound reverberated in his mind, as if the most ancient deity in the world was roaring and howling!
In that instant, the soul seemed to soar into the sky, rising thousands of feet into the boundless starry sky.

As the Milky Way shifted and the stars changed, the universe, like a mirror cut open, was reflected in his pupils.

The vast universe!

The thought crossed Li Che's mind.

The next moment, the Immortal Craftsmanship Fruit continued to vibrate, slowly changing, as if it were being carved with a chisel and hammered, transforming into an exquisite heart that contained the vast universe within it.

More than that.

In that instant, the other nine-stage Dao Fruits seemed to react as well, soaring into the air and shaking incessantly, roaring like thunder.

dong dong dong-

There were chains of light intertwined between the Dao Fruits.

Li Che opened his eyes, and the Dao Fruits that were intertwined with each other gathered their Dao Fruit rules and power into the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit.

It shone brightly!

The Milky Way shifts and turns, like the fleeting brilliance of stars.

Li Che saw it.

He saw a planet!
It was a light blue star, and the image kept zooming in, like a god looking down from above.

The atmosphere was torn apart, the mountains and rivers magnified, rivers intertwined in the eyes, and modern houses were reflected in the sky.

And on the streets, amidst the crisscrossing paths, steel cars flow endlessly!
Li Che's pupils emitted a seven-colored light as he looked at the scene with an extremely complex expression—a scene that was all too familiar to him.

However, it shouldn't be here.

This is not a picture reflected in his mind, but a picture reflected in the original source hidden by Nuwa within the immortal craftsmanship and Dao fruit.

That is to say...

This scene is from the goddess Nuwa!

Nuwa, she came from the same place, the same hometown!
This is what Nuwa left him as her last possession.

At that moment, Li Che's soul seemed to undergo a complete sublimation, because he saw hope.

That's the road home!

This is what Nuwa reflected, showing him the way home!

This is also Nuwa expressing her apology in her own way, apologizing to him for bringing him into this world!

hum-

Countless seven-colored rays of light converged, and the mind returned across the vast universe.

The seven-colored, celestial heart beats fervently, containing all the myriad phenomena of the universe.

woohoo-

The mountain wind howled, and the world was desolate.

The entire Divine Crafting Heaven had been completely slaughtered and fell into a deathly silence.

Therefore, only loneliness remained, surrounding Li Che.

dong dong dong-

The Immortal Craftsmanship Fruit transformed into a heart and merged into Li Che's chest.

That was a gift from Nuwa, a manifestation of hope, the path home hidden in the heart.

Li Che stood up, raised his hand, and tapped his fingers together.

The next moment, the entire lotus platform exploded.

This lotus platform, carved by Nuwa, was actually made from an extremely mysterious type of wood!

Two Saints Ascend to Power Timber!

Taigu Jianmu!

The first piece of wood to be born between heaven and earth!
It can be said to be the most premium wood in the entire world!
hum-

These shattered pieces of wood actually gathered together and piled up to form the image of Nuwa, a statue of Nuwa made of countless pieces of wood interwoven and stacked together.

This is the spirit of wood!
Previously, it had been carved into a lotus platform by Nuwa to guard the place. Now, as Li Che shattered the lotus platform, the spirituality of this wood was revived, and it soared into the sky.

"Roar--!!!"

"Let me go!"

The spirit of the wood transformed into the image of Nuwa, roaring and unleashing a powerful aura—the aura of a top-tier, immortal emperor!
It can only be said that Li Che was quite surprised that a spirit of wood could reach this level.

However, Li Che is now a martial arts master!
A peerless celestial being!

boom!
With a single step, a terrifying fist strike erupted, and the spirit of wood roared in terror, realizing that it could not break free from the oppressive force unleashed by Li Che!
boom!
The Jianmu tree exploded instantly, like thousands of splinters of wood, like a shower of aurora borealis!

Li Che's blood and qi burst forth and merged into every Jianmu thorn. Then, the Jianmu re-condensed, and Li Che gripped the Nine Talisman Blade of Heaven and Earth and began to carve!
Carving things that have never existed in this world before.

The smooth surface, like the luster reflected on a metal surface, is covered with mechanical divine seals, and each mechanical divine seal has a seven-colored luster.

The Jianmu mecha is engraved with the nine symbols of heaven and earth, all of which are integrated into every part of the mecha!
This is Li Che's mecha!
With a clang, the Jianmu mecha swiftly covered Li Che's body.

Slowly, it seeped into Li Che's body.

At this moment, Li Che's power seemed to have been sublimated once again, as if he had formed an extremely powerful connection with the will of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

hum-

With a thought, the Jianmu Nine Talismans Mechanism that had seeped into Li Che's body immediately revealed its true form—a mechanism that only Nuwa could recognize!
Behind him, eight vortexes of qi and blood, and one vortex of soul, burst forth with scorching light, propelling Li Che's body like a beam of light, tearing open the curtain of the Divine Craftsmanship Heaven!
……

……

Prison Lotus Land.

The Lotus Tomb Pond, on the pond's edge.

The pool water suddenly began to boil.

The boss, who was sitting by the pool with a cigarette in his mouth, suddenly raised his head. Dog, who had already returned, also raised his head and looked up at the sky with a puzzled expression.

In addition, the gods of the Hell Lotus Land, including Qi Tian and the Third Prince, all raised their heads.

The sky over the Hell Lotus Land was torn open.

Then, a huge, bizarrely shaped mechanical armor slowly descended from the torn sky of the Hell Lotus Land.

Countless suits of armor retreated with a clang, seeping into the body.

Her jet-black hair flew in the wind, and her black robe, embroidered with golden lotuses, fluttered in the breeze.

Li Che gracefully landed on the edge of the Prison Lotus Tomb Pool.

He radiated a soft glow. Dog Master stared at Li Che, his heart trembling. At this moment, Li Che seemed to have... undergone another transformation!
Having reached the Dominator level, can it still undergo transformation?!
No, it's not a transformation at the level of combat power, but a change at the level of the soul.

They seemed more composed, less anxious, and more at ease.

Inner peace, when reflected in one's soul, leads to a sublimation of one's spirit, which naturally translates into an improvement in combat power.

Li Che has undoubtedly become stronger.

Landing by the tomb pool, Li Che's black robes fluttered as he took each step, causing ripples to spread across the space beneath his feet. It was as if he could shatter the space beneath his feet with just a little effort.

Li Che walked into the restaurant, came to Dog Master's side, and reached out to pat Dog Master's head.

Dog-Master glared and bared its teeth, trying to dodge and not give Li Che a chance to pet its head.

However, Li Che simply smiled gently and rubbed Dog Master's head for a while, until Dog Master lost all his temper.

There is no way to avoid it. There is no way to avoid it at all!

Li Che felt a surge of satisfaction; he was finally able to keep the dog under control.

Under the boss's speechless gaze, Li Che rubbed the dog's head for a while before sitting down next to the boss again.

Now that Li Che's cultivation has broken through to the Dominator Realm, his mental level has also improved, and he seems to see more things.

Li Che once guessed that the boss was the mysterious "Heavenly Emperor" of the Dark Heavenly Court, but now it is certain that the boss is definitely not the Heavenly Emperor.

Because the boss doesn't belong to this world!
That's right, it doesn't belong!

Unlike Dog Lord, who is the ruler of the underworld and the abyss of hell.

The boss, on the other hand, is more like a mystery.

A form formed from a spiritual force that seeps in from beyond the nine heavens and ten earths, from the netherworld.

Like...

A traveler in the vast universe.

The marks temporarily left on this land.

Li Che suddenly realized why the boss had never actually made a move in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths so far.

He had only ever wielded the golden cleaver once.

Even so, it still encountered strong resistance from the will of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which wanted to completely eliminate it.

Because, according to the judgment of the will of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the boss belongs to... an extraterrestrial demon!
The threat posed by the Boss's true form to the will of heaven and earth of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is too strong, even possessing the power to destroy the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

"Have you made up your mind?"

The boss looked at Li Che and said softly.

Li Che remained calm: "I've done what I needed to do, and I need to face what I need to face. There's no room for retreat."

"However, the initiative is now in my hands."

The initiative was indeed in his hands. Whether it was the Lord of Reincarnation or the Buddha of the Three Worlds, they all wanted the Nine Transformations Dao Fruit in Li Che's body.

Therefore, they will not make any moves before seeing the Nine Transformations Dao Fruit, and the safety of his wife Zhang Ya will naturally be guaranteed.

Their concern was that Li Che wouldn't go.

“In fact, from the very beginning, the Buddha’s target was me.”

Li Che said softly.

"Their targeting of the Hell Lotus Daughter is actually for my sake, because Tathagata knows that the Hell Lotus Daughter's father is me."

Li Che stretched, his muscles and bones crackling and popping as if he were waking up from a deep sleep.

The boss didn't say much.

"I can't help you with what you're about to do."

"Xixi is about to complete her transformation. Once she emerges, it will be time for me to depart. My journey in this world will then come to an end."

The boss, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, gently exhaled.

He flicked off the ash from his cigarette, and a rare smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.

"I never imagined that I would have three friends from my homeland in this world."

"Perhaps, after a person dies, their soul wanders through countless worlds in the vast universe, experiencing different lives."

Death may just be the beginning of a journey.

Li Che glanced at the boss, a smile playing on his lips.

Finally admit it, fellow villager!

The boss seemed to genuinely laugh out loud; perhaps each trip had made him more human.

He stood up, turned his back to Li Che, waved, and entered the restaurant.

The wind chimes tinkled in the breeze, producing a clear, tinkling sound.

Li Che turned his gaze away and fell into deep thought.

"Three friends from our homeland..."

Besides him and Nuwa... who else is there?

Li Che's gaze fell upon the Lotus Tomb Pool, where waves were churning.

Li Che raised his hand and extended a finger, from which a drop of seven-colored blood slowly oozed.

With a flick of a finger.

The blood droplets shot out and fell into the churning, turbulent pool of the Hell Lotus Tomb.

This caused the Hell Lotus Pond to calm down immediately.

He sat cross-legged by the Lotus Tomb Pond.

A gentle breeze was blowing, and Li Che was in no hurry to go to the Netherworld or the Abyss of Reincarnation.

Instead, he sat upright, took out a piece of wood, and began to carve it calmly.

He was sculpting his family of three.

Their family portrait is carved.

It was also a birthday gift that Li Che prepared for Xi Xi for her new year.

This carving has a sense of agelessness, as if a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Xixi has grown another year older.

at the same time.

Li Che, who was sitting cross-legged by the Lotus Tomb Pool, slowly opened his eyes. In an instant, his gaze seemed to traverse the vast universe.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in the vast and boundless world.

In the vast天地 (heaven and earth), the Dao Tree that soared into the clouds was lush and verdant, as if it had plunged into the starry sky, incredibly terrifying, containing boundless pressure.

Li Che looked up at the Dao Tree.

Gradually, it seemed that countless rules and forces appeared on the Dao Tree.

Accompanied by a clanging sound, it seemed as if a surge of death energy was rising. Then, Li Che saw the light of the Great Dream flickering, and the Lord of Death appeared out of thin air in the vast world.

Entangled in branches, it fell into a deep slumber and appeared on the Dao Tree, where its power of rules was gradually extracted.

Although it was only a very faint trace, after being absorbed by the Dao Tree, it produced a fruit on the Dao Tree.

A fruit with a very faint aura.

Li Che stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching a Dao Fruit, witnessing its entire birth from nothing, accompanied by the bond between him and his daughter.

The Lord of Death will be the next Lord of the Dao Fruit?
Or rather, the Dao Tree connects the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Every powerful being has left their mark within the Dao Tree. When the bond established with Xi Xi is activated, every year Xi Xi grows older, she will extract the rule essence of the powerful being and condense it into a Dao Fruit.

Does XiXi become stronger by binding with a powerful figure?

But how could Xixi do that?

Who planted the Dao tree?
Li Che already had a guess in his heart, and it was probably the work of that "Heavenly Emperor".

With a flick of his finger, the Dao Fruit formed from the essence of the Death Sovereign was knocked down and floated into Li Che's hand.

The Dao Fruit has never changed, but it exudes a strong aura of death.

Once the Nine Transformations are completed, the origin of the Death Ruler can be elevated to nine transformations.

The Dao Fruit condenses the Dao of all the rulers and emperors of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. In the future, it may also condense the Dao of the Heavenly Immortal and the Earthly Immortal, bringing all the Daos together into one.

Li Che's eyes were filled with complex emotions. The fog in his heart seemed to be being cleared away, becoming clearer and clearer.

hum-

He withdrew from the vast天地 (heaven and earth) and returned to the edge of the Prison Lotus Tomb Pool.

Having sat upright for a year, he stood up.

Inside the restaurant, the owner toyed with a rolled cigarette, calmly looking at Li Che: "Have you made up your mind?"

"This trip might be the last one to return."

"That all-powerful hand is about to reap the harvest."

"Because your growth has exceeded his expectations."

The boss said calmly.

Li Che smiled. That all-powerful hand probably never expected that he, Li Che, would reach the level of dominance when Xi Xi was only thirteen years old.

Originally, the intention was to wait for Xixi to grow up, to pass through year after year, and to condense one Dao Fruit after another.

This gave rise to countless great paths, all of which ultimately converge into one. "It's time to go and bring my wife back, so our family can be reunited."

Li Che smiled.

The boss nodded: "Good luck."

"Break free from the cage, and you will find true freedom. The world is vast; go and see it for yourself."

The boss tossed the rolled cigarette over.

Li Che accepted it.

One cigarette is finished.

Li Che clapped his hands, preparing to go pick up his wife.

Dog Lord stood up, opened his mouth and spat out a ball of black hellfire that flew towards Li Che.

"Give it to you."

Dog Master speaks fluently and uses words sparingly.

Li Che burst into laughter, and the Hell Dao Fruit instantly completed its absorption, achieving the ninth transformation!
"Thank you very much."

After thanking Dog Master, Li Che spread his five fingers wide, and the entire Prison Lotus Tomb Pool was lifted up by him.

Li Che took a step forward, tearing open the Prison Lotus Ground.

The next moment, they arrived directly on the endless sea.

The Heavenly Emperor sat cross-legged, looking at Li Che with a complicated expression.

"Fellow Daoist...you are invincible."

The Heavenly Emperor sighed.

Li Che looked at the Tongtian God Emperor. Among the many Dao Fruits, none of them had been condensed by the Tongtian God Emperor. Perhaps they would be in the future, but they had not been condensed yet, which meant that Li Che did not need to take action against the Tongtian God Emperor.

Li Che flicked his finger, bestowing upon the Heavenly Emperor his understanding of swordsmanship.

Bathed in seven-colored divine light, the Heavenly Emperor began to comprehend the Dao of the Sword.

The power at the Emperor level is actually undergoing a subtle transformation, moving towards the Dominator level. However, even Li Che cannot guarantee whether it will ultimately break through.

"Since you address me as a fellow Daoist, I naturally won't hold back my knowledge."

"Fellow Daoist, I wish you good luck."

Li Che smiled.

It lifted Xi Xi and floated into the mouth of the Netherworld.

From the mouth of the Netherworld.

The Lord of Death and the Lord of the Underworld have been waiting for some time.

They looked at Li Che with complicated expressions. Now, Li Che no longer concealed the mystery of the existence of the Dao Fruit, and the two of them had already felt the inexplicable connection between them.

This made the Lord of Death and the Lord of the Underworld's hair stand on end.

Unbeknownst to them, they had developed this connection with Li Che.

"So... it was you."

The Netherworld Ruler stared at Li Che, his expression incredibly complex.

He recognized Li Che! He finally recognized him!
That thief!

"It's you, Martial Ancestor!"

The Way of the Netherworld Ruler.

"No, I am not the Martial Ancestor."

Li Che shook his head.

"If we want to retrieve our belongings, it seems... we have no choice but to fight."

"The Lord of the Underworld said calmly."

Does he not know whether or not he is the Martial Ancestor?
Across the nine heavens and ten earths, in the deepest abyss, only the Martial Ancestor could cultivate martial arts to such a level!

Because this is the way of the Martial Ancestor!
A road.

There can only be one ruler!
The Lord of Death and the Lord of the Underworld blocked Li Che's path from both ends in the vast and boundless Underworld.

The battle for supremacy erupted with a thunderous roar.

The battle started quickly and ended quickly.

In the Netherworld, fragments of the continents shattered and floated in the boundless darkness.

The Lord of the Underworld was embedded in the ground.

The Lord of Death is also embedded in it, cursing and swearing.

The two were able to unleash their full power of domination in the Netherworld, yet they were still suppressed and defeated by Li Che.

Li Che was not suppressed even in the Netherworld!

wow-

Gravel rolled down.

The Lord of the Underworld sat up from the ruins, gazing at Li Che, whose embroidered golden lotus robe fluttered in the wind.

Sighed softly.

Unaffected by the will of the underworld...

There is only one such person in the entire universe.

No wonder the Dao he and the Lord of Death possessed appeared on Li Che.

"I see……"

The Lord of the Underworld seemed to have realized something.

"I lost, but I want to see the final result."

"What you want, I'll give it to you."

The Lord of the Underworld opened his arms.

The next moment, the origin of the rules soared into the sky from his body. Even after the origin of the rules was stripped away, the Netherworld Ruler, as the sovereign, only experienced a slight decline in aura.

Li Che's heart stirred slightly. At this moment, the immortal fruit in the painting continued to grow stronger and achieved its ninth transformation.

Fengdu was built in the netherworld, and life and death are controlled in Fengdu!
The Lord of the Underworld was actually the master of the Immortal Fruit in the painting.

Li Che nodded slightly to express his gratitude, then looked at the Lord of Death.

The Lord of Death was very resentful, but there was nothing he could do.

He felt like he was going to get beaten to death if he didn't give it to them.

He really couldn't defeat the Martial Ancestor.

The origin of death returns to its rightful place, the Dao of Death... Nine Transformations!
Li Che is accumulating more and more Nine Transformation Dao Fruits.

"Martial Ancestor, you're still as good as ever."

The Lord of Death muttered to the Lord of the Underworld.

However, before the Netherworld Ruler could answer, Li Che, who was floating in the air, looked at the Death Ruler and spoke solemnly.

"I am not the Martial Ancestor, I am Li Che."

Li Che smiled.

The next moment, he took a step forward, and the Netherworld instantly compressed beneath his feet.

The Lord of Death and the Lord of the Underworld faced each other and followed.

……

……

The abyss of reincarnation.

The mouth of the abyss.

A figure floated there, bathed in Buddhist light. The terrifying light, like a sharp blade, seemed to cut everything in its path.

The immortal golden cicada, or rather the true Tathagata, sat cross-legged before the abyss of reincarnation.

The Buddha's light shone, a golden glow that illuminated the abyss.

Suddenly.

He opened his eyes and looked into the distance.

There, a figure strode over, his black robe embroidered with golden lotus flowers fluttering in the wind. It was none other than Li Che!

Li Che held up the swirling lotus pond in one hand.

Tathagata sensed that the Hell Lotus Maiden was hiding inside the Hell Lotus Tomb Pool. However, Tathagata felt very strange as to why Li Che did not help the Hell Lotus Maiden break out of the Tomb Pool. This should not be a difficult task for Li Che, who has now reached the level of a ruler.

"Amitabha."

“Benefactor Li, you have finally arrived.”

"No, fellow villager, you've finally arrived."

A smile appeared on the Buddha's lips. He clasped his hands together, slowly stood up, and spoke.

Li Che glanced at Tathagata calmly.

It turns out that he was one of the three fellow villagers the boss mentioned.

“Benefactor Li, do you know why this humble monk takes the name Tathagata? There is no Tathagata in this world, just as there is no Qitian or the Third Prince... because of us, they appear and exist.”

The Buddha clasped his hands together, his gaze complex and nostalgic.

However, Li Che did not respond to him, but walked over step by step.

The Buddha frowned.

“Benefactor Li, you must save Nuwa. If Nuwa dies, your wife will also perish, her soul will be extinguished, and she will be unable to be reborn.”

"Noisy."

Li Che spoke.

The Buddha trembled.

Then they saw Li Che clench his fists, and behind him, one after another, seven-colored fruits of the Great Dao floated up.

Dragon Elephant Vajra, Immaculate Heart, Immortal Craftsman, Immortal in Painting, Chess Saint... Each Dao Fruit has reached the ninth stage of transformation, and each Dao Fruit has reached the pinnacle of the Dao!

The pure mind path attained by the Tathagata is also included within this...

That Dao Fruit was what he craved.

Having obtained this Dao Fruit and returned to its rightful place, he might be able to break through the limits of the Great Dao, break free from the shackles of heaven and earth, transcend heaven and earth, gain freedom, roam the vast universe, and return to his homeland!

He was finally able to go home!
He just... wanted to go home!

The Buddha's breathing became rapid.

However, when Li Che threw a punch, the power of each Dao Fruit gathered in that punch.

Behind Li Che, an invisible phantom seemed to emerge.

"Martial Ancestor!!!"

The Buddha's gaze widened.

His soul trembled, and his heart was filled with utter horror. An unbelievable thought, like an incomparably sharp spear, pierced his body.

How could there be a Martial Ancestor behind Li Che?

Martial Ancestor... Li Che...

How could Li Che possibly be the Martial Ancestor?!

"The Law of Three Lifetimes!"

"The Three Lives Technique passed down by the Heavenly Emperor! How do you know it too?!"

Is Li Che the future incarnation of the Martial Ancestor?

boom--! ! !
The combined punch of Wu Zu and Li Che transformed into two punches, overwhelming everything.

The Buddha unleashed the Buddha Light of the Three Worlds Rules, yet it was still shattered inch by inch amidst the two overlapping martial arts fist beams that nearly broke free of their cages!
The Buddha was like a cannonball, crashing into the abyss of reincarnation.

Smoke and dust billowed.

The Buddha rolled endlessly in the abyss of reincarnation, unable to dispel the force of the punches he was being thrown at him, tumbling and crawling in a sorry state.

Finally, it crashed violently into the deepest part of the abyss of reincarnation.

Beneath a statue.

With his face bruised and swollen, Tathagata struggled to raise his head and looked up, where he saw the statue that had blocked Li Che's punch for him.

Upon seeing this, Buddha's eyes narrowed instantly.

Because the origin of reincarnation dissipates like smoke.

He saw the statue...

A graceful figure was carved into the abyss cliff, her face cold and aloof, yet bearing a face familiar to the Buddha.

And at the top of that statue.

A graceful figure, dressed in black with embroidered golden lotuses, stood there like a divine spear.

Behind them, a dense vortex of reincarnation essence was swirling.

The Ruler of Reincarnation!

"Nuwa..."

The Buddha trembled all over.

The Ruler of Reincarnation looks exactly like Nuwa?!

Outside the Abyss of Reincarnation, Li Che looked over and saw the figure standing on the statue of the Reincarnation Ruler.

"really……"

Li Che let out a breath.

Suddenly.

The Buddha, who was mentally shaken and caught in a strong shock, felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

He laughed shrilly, and tears of blood streamed down his face.

"So...so you all know the Three Lives Technique!"

"No, I should say, all the villagers know the Three Lives Law!"

The Buddha laughed bitterly.

The Heavenly Emperor imparted to him the Three Incarnations Technique, which he believed was unique to him. He thought it was his way of escaping his shell and obtaining the Dao fruit from Li Che, thus gaining the means to transcend.

But now it seems he has gone down the wrong path.

The Buddha murmured.

"The ruler of reincarnation is the present body, the past body of Nuwa, and Zhang Ya... the future body of Nuwa!"

Tears of blood streamed down his face as he turned to look at Li Che.

"The Martial Ancestor's future self..."

"Then who is the present self? And the past self?"

"God!"

The Buddha smiled bitterly.

He understood everything.

He clasped his hands together, and the next moment, he suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes.

"No, I am on the right path... clinging to the path of three lifetimes is a dead end, a path from which there is no escape!"

"To transcend, one can only transcend one thing!"

"One can only transcend in one lifetime!"

The Buddha let out a long roar.

He stirred up a divine tide, targeting the Daughter of the Prison Lotus, intending to suppress her and use her as leverage to control the Heavenly Emperor...

However, he stirred up eight divine tides. In the first seven divine tides, the Hell Lotus Maiden was not the real Hell Lotus Maiden. She was not a bargaining chip that could be used to manipulate the Heavenly Emperor and return his Dao Fruit to him.

This eighth incarnation is the true one.

However, this eighth divine tide...

He lost.

The Buddha sighed.

next moment.

His abdomen ripped open, and Nuwa's body burst forth from the Buddha's womb.

Nuwa exuded an aura of dominance!
The ruler of one of the three major god factions is indeed Nuwa!
The Buddha has fallen!
“You’re right, you’re not the only one who’s given up the path of three lifetimes.”

"so……"

"I, Li Che, am Li Che..."

"It is not some future incarnation."

Li Che looked at the Buddha who had perished with resentment and spoke softly.

"The Martial Ancestor no longer exists in this world."

"The Martial Ancestor is here."

Li Che raised his hand and patted his chest.

A seven-colored radiance expanded instantly from his body.

Almost instantly, the entire Netherworld was completely transformed, undergoing a tremendous change.

The Lord of the Underworld and the Lord of Death stared in stunned silence.

Watching the entire underworld undergo a complete transformation.

At Li Che's location, a colossal Dao tree, towering into the clouds and piercing the cosmos, attracted all eyes.

Vast and boundless heaven and earth!

Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Tenth Heaven, the Prison Lotus Heaven!

Ten days and ten lands, a perfect cage!
The Reincarnation Ruler, Nuwa, and Zhang Ya, who was imprisoned in the Prison of Origin by the Reincarnation Ruler...

They all looked at Daoshu with complicated expressions.

The roadside trees swayed slightly.

A soft sigh echoed between heaven and earth.

"The Dao Tree is none other than the Martial Ancestor."

Li Che patted the roadside tree.

"It is also the only 'Ancestor' divine tree in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"Only the Martial Ancestor, who transformed into the One Ancestor Dao Tree, and the most powerful Martial Ancestor body in the world, could bear the original Dao Fruits of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the many rulers and emperor-level immortals."

"As for the bond between Xixi and me."

"Actually, it's the key you used to unlock the cage."

Li Che spoke first.

"Please, both of you."

As soon as the words were spoken, the Reincarnation Sovereign and Nuwa, the two sovereigns, soared into the sky and rushed swiftly toward a Dao Fruit on the Dao Tree.

Li Che disappeared from the spot and appeared next to Zhang Ya.

“Husband…” Zhang Ya’s gaze was complex, a mixture of surprise and joy.

The joy stemmed from the fact that she wasn't a reincarnation and wouldn't be taken back by Nuwa.

She was startled because the current situation was so overwhelming that she couldn't think straight.

Where is Xixi?

Zhang Ya asked.

"Xixi is here."

Li Che flicked his finger.

The Samsara Tomb Pool exploded with a deafening roar!

Each drop of water spread out clearly, revealing Xi Xi's figure standing in the center of the Prison Lotus Tomb Pool.

Now, Xixi has already transformed into a young girl.

Her long, straight black hair fell to her waist, her skin was pale and bloodless, her long eyes were closed, and her beautiful face was expressionless and blank.

Zhang Ya was stunned.

"My husband... she is not our Xixi."

Zhang Ya murmured.

A hint of tenderness appeared in Li Che's eyes.

"She is our Xixi."

"XiXi will come back."

Li Che said.

The Hell Lotus Tomb Pool is indeed the place to remove the Hell Lotus curse, but it will also affect Xi Xi's will. The will of the seven Hell Lotus Sons and Daughters will strip Xi Xi of her emotions, plunging her into a state of ruthlessness.

According to the boss, this is the ruthless path.

It will become the sharpest blade in the world.

And this is exactly the result that the big hand that ultimately manipulated everything wanted!

the other side.

The Reincarnation Sovereign and Nuwa rushed swiftly toward the Dao Fruit [Dream Master] that Li Che had pointed out.

The fruit of the Dao swayed gently.

Just as the two were about to suppress it, it fell from the Dao tree.

The Reincarnation Ruler and Nuwa were instantly struck by an invisible force.

It suddenly plummeted downwards, crashing violently to the ground.

The Dao Fruit shattered, revealing one of the figures within.

It was a figure dressed in a white robe, with white hair flying and exuding a rich immortal aura. Behind him, the nine talismans of heaven and earth converged into a vortex, which was constantly spinning.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Ya covered her mouth in shock and looked at Li Che in disbelief.

"My husband...he..."

"He is the Heavenly Emperor."

Li Che said.

The sole ruler of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Heavenly Emperor.

The Martial Ancestor was the past incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, while strictly speaking, Li Che was the future incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor!
so horrible!

An extremely powerful pressure swept across everything, suppressing everything.

The light of a great dream shone continuously on his body.

The Heavenly Emperor walked through the air, his white robes fluttering in the wind.

Li Che, dressed in a black robe embroidered with golden lotuses, ascended into the sky.

One white and one black stood facing each other in the vast天地 (heaven and earth), in the Prison Lotus Heaven.

"I didn't expect you to improve so quickly. Xixi... you should grow even bigger and awaken more Dao Fruits so that you can realize the Myriad Daos and steadily break free from the shackles of heaven and earth."

The Emperor of Heaven spoke.

"However, it's not a big problem. The Dao of the Sovereigns and Emperors has already been successfully refined..."

"Now, it's time to pick them."

The Heavenly Emperor said calmly.

He didn't look at Li Che, because their battlefield wasn't here.

The difference in their strength is actually meaningless.

“The Martial Ancestor transformed into the Dao Tree, and you continued his Dao, becoming the fruit of the Martial Dao.”

"All paths lead to one, together assisting this Heavenly Emperor in breaking free from his shackles."

The Heavenly Emperor is cold and ruthless.

The Martial Ancestor was his past self, and he could be killed without hesitation.

Li Che is his future self, and he is merely the basis of his scheme.

Even the daughter of the Prison Lotus, his daughter, perished and was reborn in the divine tides of lifetime after lifetime.

Now, the bond between Xixi and Li Che has nurtured the Fruit of Myriad Paths, which he will now combine to harvest.

Xi Xi, or rather, the daughter of the Prison Lotus, is an anchor point for gathering all the Dao Fruits.

The convergence point where all paths lead to one!

All that is needed is for Yu Lian's daughter to call him "father" and acknowledge him as her father.

This will allow you to break free from the cage and achieve transcendence.

Countless Dao origins surged forth from Li Che's body; these were the origins of martial arts, intertwining around him as if transforming into the form of a Dao fruit.

He actually achieved the Vajra Path of the Dragon Elephant!

However, Li Che didn't care about any of that; he looked towards Xi Xi.

Beside Xi Xi, the phantom images of seven Hell Lotus Sons and Daughters flickered.

It seemed to be constantly influencing her will, but Xi Xi was working hard to slowly push it out of her body.

boom--!
However, in the end, it still failed.

The wills of the seven Hell Lotus Maidens and Hell Lotus Sons surged into Xi Xi's brow, creating the Lotus Divine Pattern.

When Xixi opened her eyes, they were devoid of any emotion, utterly indifferent.

"Child, come here."

“Father is here.”

The Heavenly Emperor beckons.

On the Dao Tree, the lines projected by the Dao Fruits intertwined around Xi Xi, like a walking sun, slowly moving towards the Heavenly Emperor.

Zhang Ya collapsed to the ground, watching this scene with grief.

The Lord of Reincarnation and Nuwa sighed softly... Had they still failed?

They actually knew about the Heavenly Emperor's plan, and that he was manipulating everything from behind the scenes.

Therefore, in the eighth divine tide, the future incarnation Zhang Ya was created, hoping that the daughter of the Prison Lotus could break the Heavenly Emperor's plan and preserve their hope of breaking free from the cage.

But now, all hope has been dashed.

Li Che sat cross-legged in the cage formed by the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, calmly watching Xi Xi walk step by step toward the Heavenly Emperor.

Xi Xi walked up to the Heavenly Emperor.

A smile appeared on the Heavenly Emperor's cold face as he raised his hand and stroked Xi Xi's head.

Suddenly.

A look of struggle appeared on Xi Xi's face, her eyes wide with anger.

"You are not my father!"

Xi Xi scolded.

The next moment, a pink Gatling gun appeared in her hand.

The six cannons were aimed at the Heavenly Emperor and fired with a roar!
Da da da da da!
Despite the spray, each wooden raven solidified around the Heavenly Emperor.

The smile on the Heavenly Emperor's face vanished, and he looked at Xi Xi coldly.

"you……"

"Hmph! My father is definitely not someone as heartless as you!"

"My father is Li Che!"

"My name is Li Nuanxi!"

From the divine markings between Xi Xi's brows, seven figures suddenly leaped out.

"father--!!!"

Those were the seven daughters and sons of the Hell Lotus, pawns abandoned by the Heavenly Emperor and used to scheme against the numb Buddha of the Three Worlds.

At this moment, they cried and threw themselves on the Heavenly Emperor.

It haunted the Heavenly Emperor like a vengeful spirit.

The cage of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit on Li Che's body shattered with a roar.

The ownership of each Dao Fruit returned to Li Che's hands once again.

Rumbling--

The First Ancestral Dao Tree, the Dao Tree transformed from the body of the Martial Ancestor, rapidly crawled over and transformed into a cage, completely binding the Heavenly Emperor within it.

On the Dao tree, countless branches wriggled and intertwined.

It transformed into the figure of the Martial Ancestor.

He nodded at Li Che.

Li Che nodded in response.

The Martial Ancestor is the Martial Ancestor, and Li Che is Li Che; they are both independent individuals.

Li Che waved to Xi Xi, and then waved to Zhang Ya, who was crying tears of joy.

His wife and daughter rushed over and appeared beside him.

Li Che held one in each hand, a gentle smile on his face.

"Come on, let's smile together."

The words were finished.

The Golden Wheel of Time and Space rotates, like a camera clicking, capturing the moment of a family reunion in a portrait.

Subsequently.

Li Che looked up.

Dragon Elephant Vajra, Immortal Craftsman, Immaculate Heart, Chess Saint, Immortal in Painting...

Each Dao Fruit burst forth with a seven-colored radiance.

It shot into the sky and crashed into the sky above the Prison Lotus Heaven!

The roadside trees swayed, their branches and leaves rustling, as if the stars were shaking.

All ten heavens and ten lands have emerged, forming a perfect cage that seals off all sides!

The seven-colored light of the Dao Fruit washed over everything!
The cage has been breached.

Li Che had his arm around his wife with one hand and held his daughter's hand with the other.

He turned to look at the Ruler of Reincarnation and Nuwa...

He gestured for them to follow, offering a ride to the fellow villager.

Propelled by the seven-colored light of the Dao Fruit, it was as if riding an elevator, breaking free of its cage, and disappearing into the world.

……

……

Prison Lotus Land.

jingle.

The wind chimes were rang.

The boss slowly walked out and dusted off his cigarette ash.

He withdrew his gaze from the sky.

"Dog, let's go."

"We should continue our travels; perhaps we'll meet them along the way."

Dog got up from the ground and shook his body.

The two, a man and a dog, began to gradually become transparent.

"Boss, I've said it before, wherever there's hell, it's under my control."

"Yes, that's great."

"Boss, the boss's wife's fate has changed. Will we ever see her again?"

"It should be possible, as long as Old Li doesn't stop her. Besides, I've been cultivating her stomach since she was little."

"Boss, if Li Laodeng hits you again, will you dare to fight back?"

"You can't expect ivory from a dog's mouth."

……

……

In the boundless void of the universe.

A mecha is speeding along.

Inside the mecha cockpit, Li Che sat leisurely in a chair, flipping through a book, while his wife Zhang Ya, heavily pregnant, sat beside him, weaving a garment with embroidered golden lotus patterns.

"My wife, has Xixi gone out to have fun again?"

Li Che closed the book and stretched.

Zhang Ya looked through the mecha cockpit at the reflected light blue star outside and smiled.

"She said the universe is so big, she wants to travel, and while traveling, she wants to become the Xi Xi Emperor who conquers the vast universe."

"She sent a message a while ago saying that she met a refined and easy-going man in white who claimed to be a Celestial Master. He was the culprit who once projected a wisp of dream power, allowing the Heavenly Emperor to release the Great Dream Light and extract the essence of the powerful beings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths from the dream!"

"So that's how it is, it's the power falling from the vast universe..."

Li Che suddenly realized.

"And then?" Li Che continued to ask.

Zhang Ya covered her mouth and laughed: "Then, Xi Xi carried the pink Gatling gun and followed that refined and easy-going Grandmaster Meng to conquer the stars and the sea..."

Li Che was speechless for a moment, then shook his head.

"Never mind, the child is grown up, let her be."

Anyway, the child was bullied outside.

As long as my parents are still alive, my home is still here, and that's where I'll rely on them!
Big deal.

As a father, I will take action.

P.S.: This is an extremely long chapter, 16,000 words! This concludes Old Li's tenth book! Thank you all for your continued support!

(End of this chapter)
