Chapter 297 The Creation of the Underworld by Ox Demon and Horse Face, the Golden Heavenly King Ascends the Tower as a Great Grandmaster [Seeking Monthly Tickets]_3

If that werenʼt the case...

Then the problem... would not be a small one.

...

...

Golden Light Prefecture City, Falling Flower Alley.

Within the independent workshop.

Li Che clutched the Thunder Chess Piece and returned to the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, the sound of inhaling and exhaling rose and fell, like successive peals of thunder.

His gaze swept over and he saw within the room, seven Fairy in the Painting clones sitting cross-legged, cultivating their Divinity with earnest and diligent effort.

This level of effort made Li Che break into a sweat.

He felt like a ruthless capitalist.

Without disturbing the seven diligent selves, he looked away and sat down in a bamboo chair in the courtyard.

A thick layer of snow had accumulated, giving it a pure white appearance.

Li Che, transformed into the Bull Demon, sat upright on the chair, lifting his hand, palm now holding a Superior Qiankun Jade— it was a collection from a Divine Minister Middle Realm Elder!

This was his gain after deciding he couldnʼt kill Xu Jiuqing, opting instead for a close-quarters brawl with him.

His goal was a brawl, but in reality, it was an advanced plunder.

With a flick of his finger, Li Che placed the Qiankun Jade into the Qiankun Space.

Underneath the Bull Demon Mask, lines of the world interwove.

Suddenly, various images began to intertwine and flicker before his eyes.

Dense black smoke rolled tumultuously as if racing swiftly along.

Li Che couldnʼt help but remain speechless.

”Still in transit... so slow,” he said.

Compared to the instantaneous movement of the Thunder Chess Piece, it was indeed more than just a bit slower.

In the close combat with Xu Jiuqing, Li Che did more than just smoothly steal a Qiankun Jade; every punch and blow he delivered also imprinted the Immaculate Heart Divinity into Xu Jiuqingʼs body.

Using the aura of the Sub-mark of the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal, he searched for the Primary Seal!

Li Cheʼs original intent was to recover the Primary Seal suppressing the Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Seal, but unexpectedly, Xu Jiuqing had a means to break free.

Due to an unforeseen error, the Immaculate Heart Divinity driven into the Corpse Curse Seal transformed into a Thunder Chess Piece.

It became...

A locator!

Li Che could now lock onto Xu Jiuqingʼs direction of escape through the Corpse Curse Seal with the Thunder Chess Piece, and was even aware of his condition.

Escape?

The people Bull Demon wanted dead... how could they escape so easily?

If this evil person from the Corpse God Cult who threatened Xi Xi did not die... how could he be at peace?

Li Che sat quietly in the courtyard.

He was waiting for Xu Jiuqing to finish teleporting.

However, it must be said that after experiencing the swift movement of the Thunder Chess Piece, the snailʼs pace teleportation of the Corpse God Cult... was truly urgent.

Li Che was anxious on their behalf.

His mind hovered in the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, perceiving Xu Jiuqingʼs teleportation status.

On the other hand, Li Che multitasked.

He reviewed his recent battle with Xu Jiuqing, a Middle God Phase Realm Divine Minister.

This battle, although it was Li Cheʼs trial move, also gave him a clear judgment of his own strength.

”If I activate the ʼDragon Elephant Vajraʼ Dao Fruitʼs Angry Vajra State, plus Ascending the Tower, and face a Martial Warrior at the Grandmaster Latter Realm, I can suppress the opponent. My physical body is too strong, as a Furnace Grandmaster... unmatched in terms of physical strength.”

”Xu Jiuqingʼs main strength is his Cursed Copper Corpse Body, resilient and tough, along with the Late Grandmaster Stage Cultivation; I canʼt kill him.”

”A Greatly Accomplished Cursed Copper Corpse is indeed both stinky and hard.”

”Even shooting with four Dragon Tooth Bullets to open a path... still not enough...”

Li Che pondered, as snowflakes fell, accumulating a thick layer upon his bamboo hat.

”However... if I were to truly play my trump card... I might still be able to kill.”

Overall, Li Che had a clear recognition of his own strength.

Equivalent to the level between the Initial Realm and Middle Realm of Divine Minister.

Thatʼs the caveat of not allowing the opponent to gain distance and bombard him with Divine Secret Techniques.

The Divine Cultivation, after all, was still somewhat lacking for Li Che.

But Li Cheʼs strength lay in the toughness of the body, stepping into the Furnace Grandmasterʼs Divine Vein Nine Transformations, coupled with the Prototype of Unparalleled Divine Powers like Ascending the Tower...

Once in close quarters, the Middle God Phase Realm relying on the profound defense of Divine Minister could still block his close-range outburst.

But if it was the Initial God Phase Realm...

Within ten moves, a certain kill!

If facing a cultivator at the Late God Phase Stage or the Yuanxiang Realm...

Take a detour.

The Divine Minister cultivated at the Late Stage was no weaker than the toughness of the Copper Corpse, and the profoundness of Divinity once suppressed, that kind of Rank pressure, even with the Seven Wheels Divine Base forged by Li Che, could hardly be ignored entirely.

Thatʼs right!

The reason Li Che could ignore the Rank pressure of Xu Jiuqingʼs Middle God Phase Realm was thanks to a sort of immunity attained after forging the Seven Wheels Divine Base.

Immunity from Rank pressure.

It wasnʼt due to the effect brought by Temple God Divinity.

This, in turn, gave Li Che the capital to fight beyond his Realm. He was currently in the Divine Base Realm, and if unable to be exempt from the pressure of Rank of Divine Minister during combat, it would be quite disadvantageous...

Even with the physique of a Furnace Grandmaster, his strength would be weakened by at least thirty to forty percent.

”Having such power... I, the Bull Demon... can be even more unrestrained.”

Under the Cute Bull Mask, a smile formed on Li Cheʼs lips.

All of a sudden...

His eyes slightly trembled.

”Hmm? The teleportation is complete at last... that really took a while.”

In the courtyard, Li Che stood up, his vigour steaming and instantly melting the surrounding snow.

He pressed down on his bamboo hat.

Escape after cheating death?

After they have wronged my daughter... still expecting to live?

I, the Bull Demon...

Am most fond of exterminating at the roots.

Hum—

The space seemed to vibrate, the falling snow twisted for a moment.

Then, the figure of the Bull Demon vanished.

Inside the room.

The seven Fairy in the Painting Li Ches exploded!

The Seven Emotions Divinity returned to their place!

...

...

Outside the Golden Light Prefecture City, forty miles out.

Amidst a stretch of mountains.

In the pitch-black darkness of the night.

A dense mass of rolling black smoke surged forth, first appearing as a speck, then rapidly expanding, finally gathering into a whirl-like mass of smoke.
