"Husband... Did you see Xi Xi?"

Zhang Ya couldn’t help but ask.

Li Che nodded. Although Zhang Ya missed Xi Xi very much, she still restrained herself from going to see her.

After describing to Zhang Ya the events that happened within the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven, Li Che entered a state of seclusion.

With a thought, the Heaven and Earth chessboard expanded, enveloping the room and the whole inn.

He sat cross-legged in the room.

Li Che’s gaze opened and closed, his black hair flying, lashing like black lightning.

In front of him, a shimmering golden smoke passed by.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (Level 9, 0%)]

Dao Fruit, Seven Shedding!

Unprecedented, Seven Shedding!

In the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven, after killing a Path-Cutting spirit and ten Fusion Gods, this battle prowess directly pushed the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit to Level 9 Rank!

In fact, Li Che had killed more than just one Path-Cutting Divine Spirit before.

Seven Shedding...

Li Che’s gaze flickered; it was somewhat easier than imagined.

But after killing two Path-Cutting Divine Spirits and several Fusion Gods, he achieved the transformation.

Among them, his breakthrough to Martial Arts Xuan Immortal contributed to the maturity of the Dao Fruit.

As for the Eighth Transformation, it’s uncertain if merely killing Nirvana Kings can achieve it?

Upon achieving the Eighth Transformation, Li Che would encounter the obstacles once faced by the Masters of Dao Fruit!

Bang bang bang—

Relaxing his mind, Li Che began to undergo the Dao Fruit transformation!

Boom—!!!

His heart throbbed intensely, like the beating of a dusk drum or dawn bell!

Li Che instantly switched into a Profound Immortal posture.

His spine roared like a dragon, the Eight Wonders Gate Immortal Seed emerged, eight strands of Immortal Qi blossomed from his body like flowers!

Ripples appeared in the void, Li Che pushed the Heaven and Earth chessboard to the limit, shielding his state.

Then, with a thought, he began to accept the Dao Fruit transformation.

Buzz—

His mind was immediately pulled into the Dao Tree Space by a powerful force.

The familiar process was no longer novel to Li Che.

He saw the Seven Shedding Dao Fruit, immense like a star hanging high on the majestic Dao Tree.

When the Dao Fruit exploded, it seemed as though an entire galaxy exploded within Li Che’s eyes.

Swish swish swish—

The Tao River flowed rapidly.

Li Che found himself actually standing upon the Tao River.

That was the Martial Arts River; each drop of water seemed to reflect the images of martial artists sweating and tirelessly cultivating martial arts.

Every drop was the crystallization of a martial artist’s lifelong martial arts insights!

Suddenly, Li Che’s gaze froze.

A formidable pressure suddenly exploded from his body.

It felt like he was pressed into the Tao River, continuously sinking toward the riverbed.

Countless martial artists’ martial arts crystallizations surged frantically toward Li Che’s will.

Constantly washing over his spirit.

Li Che felt that even his Mystic Immortal Will couldn’t withstand so much martial artist will...

He was about to be forcibly burst open!

At this rate...

He would explode!

Li Che was startled, his heart filled with urgency, wanting to use the power of the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit to ease the pressure.

However, he couldn’t sense the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit...

His face began to distort; countless martial artists’ wills filled him up, inflating his body like a balloon.

Li Che watched his fingers swell like inflating balloons, his skin stretched to the extreme, becoming incredibly smooth, with pores invisible...

About to explode!

About to burst!

At this moment, Li Che’s heart surprisingly calmed down.

The Dao Fruit transformation also harbors danger...

Otherwise, how could the Masters of Dao Fruit perish along with their Dao Fruit will?

And now, Li Che seemed unable to bear the Dao Fruit’s strength, about to burst apart.

Countless martial artists’ wills seemed to scream, twisting his soul.

Li Che’s mind calmed down, once the urgency dissipated, he began quietly experiencing the changes brought by these martial artists’ wills.

He saw a young boy working tirelessly, practicing on the plum blossom piles, from boyhood to old age.

He saw a woman wielding twin swords, dancing like mandarin ducks, fearlessly confronting powerful foes, swinging her blades valiantly, with intense martial way will.

He saw a young man pursuing the dream of a martial arts family, challenging the entire Martial Forest, becoming a demon.

He saw...

So many stories, every drop of Martial Arts River water seemed to narrate the brief yet brilliant life of a martial artist!

Li Che silently felt, observed, unknowingly, his entire being seemed to shine like a fiery sun, radiating dazzling brilliance.

Suddenly.

Li Che opened his eyes at the riverbed.

Instantly, his eyes shone brilliantly, as if thousands upon thousands of martial artist wills overlapped together.

The inflated body slowly returned to normal, and even the blood and flesh received incredible tempering due to this.

But none of this mattered.

Li Che’s expression remained serene, his gaze like a raging starlight.

[Dao Fruit Level 9, Seven Shedding, Dao Boat Seeking, Condensing Heaven and Earth Dao Body]

Rumble—

In front, golden smoke rolled, as if countless martial artist wills roared, shouted, intertwining by his ears, reverberating continuously!

Then, Li Che felt his body begin to float, as if a powerful force pushed him out of the Tao River’s riverbed.

But, upon bursting out of the Tao River, he glanced back and saw beneath the riverbed of the Tao River.

The spot where he originally sat.

There remained a silhouette.

As if...

A remnant form had been birthed!
