In the Tao River, countless water droplets reflect the images of martial artists, constantly changing in appearance.

Li Che rose from the river, his black hair floating like seaweed, softly dancing within.

He felt a force of rejection. Turning to look, he saw a remnant shell sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the Martial Arts River.

Remnant shell?!

Li Che furrowed his brow slightly, a flash of confusion passing through his eyes.

However, before he could think too much, a vast propulsion force pushed him out of the Martial Arts River.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh ——

Inside the room, Li Che slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were incredibly sharp and deep, as if countless changes were brewing within, constantly weaving and transforming.

In the Martial Arts River, he experienced the seventh transformation of the Dao Fruit, as if the martial will of millions of martial artists surged into his mind, threatening to make his brain burst, his physical body unable to bear the force.

Li Che almost thought he would perish, his Dao vanishing with him.

Exploding, transforming into countless Dao Yun, merging into the Tao River.

Like a person reduced to ashes after death, scattered into the great river, adrift.

But, Li Che ultimately survived.

He even withstood the thoughts of millions of martial artists within the Tao River.

And by integrating the thoughts of these martial artists into his flesh, he seemed to condense a powerful corporeal remnant shell.

"Heaven and Earth Dao Body."

Inside the room, silence reigned, only Li Che’s faint breathing echoing.

The last glimpse at the bottom of the Tao River—is it truly the Heaven and Earth body?

What purpose does it serve?

What assistance can the Heaven and Earth body of the seventh transformation in the Dao Fruit provide him?

A trace of confusion surfaced in Li Che’s mind.

Dao Fruit Seventh Transformation, Dao Boat Seeking, Condensing Heaven and Earth Dao Body!

Li Che gently closed his eyes; in his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit throbbed, yet no information about the Heaven and Earth Dao Body emerged.

Unlike the transformations of Dao Guide, Dao Tribulation, and Dao Boat.

This time, the Heaven and Earth Dao Body did not present itself on the panel.

So...

What exactly is the use of the Heaven and Earth Dao Body?

Li Che found himself somewhat lost.

This was the first time he encountered a state of confusion after a transformation of the Dao Fruit.

"Can I communicate with this Heaven and Earth Dao Body?"

Li Che furrowed his brow slightly.

Raising his hand, he touched the center of his forehead.

Mystic Immortal Will emerged from the void.

BOOM ——!

Vast Qi Blood roared forth, condensing a Dao Boat above his head.

It was the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Boat, carrying Li Che’s Mystic Immortal Will as it surged through the void.

The Dao Boat plunged into the void, directly rushing into the Martial Arts River!

Li Che’s Mystic Immortal Will sat on the Dao Boat, wandering over the Martial Arts River.

At this moment...

He perceived it.

Mysteriously...

A powerful attraction seemed to erupt from the bottom of the Martial Arts River.

Li Che’s Mystic Immortal Will glowed a brilliant gold, identical to Li Che’s physical body, yet radiating a golden halo.

"I sensed it... That is the Heaven and Earth Dao Body!"

Li Che’s eyes opened and closed, a strange color flashing in them.

[Heaven and Earth Dao Body: The collective thoughts of all beings, united as one, crystallizing the Great Dao, invincible with me]

Before him, the True Words of the Heaven and Earth Dao Body emerged.

And upon the Dao Boat, the Mystic Immortal Will stood up, overlooking the illusory figure at the river’s bottom.

In the next moment, the Mystic Immortal Will leapt directly from the Dao Boat.

Buzz ——

The bottom of the Martial Arts River.

As if a terrifying presence slightly moved its finger.

...

...

Sitting cross-legged in the room, the Heaven and Earth chessboard suspended high above, sealing the entire room, isolating any perception.

Li Che’s physical body, having completed the transformation of the Dao Fruit, began to be endowed with the power fed back from the Dao Fruit!

Every inch of skin, every part of his flesh, started undergoing endless tremors and transformation, as if a peerless divine craftsman wielded an enormous iron hammer, forging diligently, refining through thousands of hammer blows!

The power from the Dao Fruit’s feedback strengthened his physical body.

Before him, a stream of light appeared.

[Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill: Mortal Dust Sacred Body (15%)]

And the transformation data of the Mortal Dust Sacred Body was swiftly increasing.

15%, 20%, 25%...

The speed of enhancement surpassed Li Che’s expectations.

Unknowingly, when it reached 30%, the speed of transformation finally halted.

Li Che’s black hair danced wildly as he extended his arms.

Upon his physical body, his skin turned golden, with every muscle stacking like scales, overlapping piece by piece, his frame expanding as if a blaze ignited fiercely within!

His aura climbed steadily, seemingly about to break through barriers, shaking the heavens and earth!

That was Immortal Fire!

The Mystic Immortal Fire burned fiercely, its intensity so ferocious that it seemed it could burn the heavens and boil the sea!

Li Che’s Immortal Platform was forged with his physical body as its foundation, inscribing Eight Great Dao Immortal Patterns onto his flesh, constructing the Mystic Immortal Platform, upon which the Immortal Fire blazed!

It was the foundation of his Mystic Immortal state.

Currently, he remained in the first realm of the Profound Immortal, the Immortal Platform Immortal Fire Realm.

The path to the second realm, Immortal Platform Merging Dao, was once without any clues.

But now, he had gained insight!

Perhaps because he absorbed and embraced the will of millions of martial artists in the Martial Arts River, he understood some of the essence of Merging Dao!

Li Che’s eyes gleamed with joy, hidden in his deep gaze.

Sitting cross-legged in the room, Li Che continued to comprehend.

In his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit pulsed gently, slowly radiating rippling waves of vibration.

His entire being fell into a state of profound mystery, his Profound Immortal body undergoing alteration, growing stronger under the burning Immortal Fire!

With each breath, it seemed as though Dao Yun burst forth.
