As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

It was a transformation that seemed to have shattered a bottleneck barrier!

It was as if...

he had been promoted by a rank!

The Divine Foundation of the Three-Eyed Fierce True Lord that Li Che had cultivated belonged to the Eight Extremes Upper Grade Stage.

Now... it seemed as though he had directly ascended to the Seven Elements Lower Grade Stage!

Seven Elements Divine Foundation!

Even if it were false...

Li Che couldn't help but lift the corners of his lips, no longer able to suppress his smile.

"Pure Heart Divine Foundation... so this is its function!"

"Then, if I obtained the Four Imperial Divine Foundation Technique later, could the Divine Foundation modified by it, combined with the Pure Heart Divine Foundation's enhancement... directly raise me to the 'Three Pure Ones' level?!"

Li Che's eyes sparkled, the thought alone was exhilarating.

However, Divine Foundations weren't necessarily better the higher their rank. According to what Li Qingshan had said, the higher the Divine Foundation Rank, the stronger the physical body needed to be to bear it...

If the physical body wasn't strong enough, it could lead to a collapse of the inner scenery and physical destruction, ultimately... being controlled by the Divine Foundation, becoming a mindless monster, slowly exhausting the vitality of the body and dying.

Li Che felt that he had to progress slowly.

"However, after becoming a Divine Minister, one can't alter their Divine Foundation. So, I must solidly lay out my Divine Foundation before then."

Li Che opened his eyes, his mind exiting the inner scenery of the energy center.

Intense vitality filled the entire workshop.

Li Che frowned; unbeknownst to him, at the moment when the explosive combination unleashed the power of the Seven Elements Divine Foundation, his body had uncontrollably triggered the Vajra Transformation to withstand the power of the Seven Elements Divine Foundation.

Feeling the vitality and divinity pervading the room...

Exhale—

Inhale—

Li Che inhaled and exhaled once.

A tremendous suction force erupted from the energy center, swallowing all the dispersed divinity back.

Thus, inside the workshop, not a trace of divine aura leaked out anymore, and the vitality was also devoured back into the body.

Meanwhile, a flowing light prompt appeared in front of him.

[Dao Fruit: Pure Heart (LV3,0%)

Li Che's eyes sparkled.

He glanced at the Eight Extremes Divine Crystal in his hand, about a third of its divinity remained, but it had apparently already pushed the Pure Heart to a Level 3!

Suddenly, golden light flashed in front of him!

[Dao Fruit LV3, another transformation, receives the prototype of Divine Powers "Pure Heart - Soul Capturing"]

Li Che's breathing sharply quickened.

Success!

The third Dao Fruit had produced the third type of Divine Powers prototype!

Following [Immortal Worker: Thousand Analyzing Hands], [Dragon Elephant Vajra - Ascend], the Divine Powers prototype "Pure Heart - Soul Capturing" was officially produced!

Li Che's heart grew fervent, his emotions surged!

Within his chest, the [Pure Heart] Dao Fruit thunderously pulsated. With each throb, it seemed as if countless tendrils of divinity burst forth, twisting into tentacle-like divine filaments!

Madly flailing in the space between heaven and earth!

[Prototype of Divine Powers (Pure Heart - Soul Capturing): True brightness, untainted, can scrutinize all things, capture spirits and dispatch generals, revered by all gods]

The flowing golden introduction gradually appeared before his eyes!

Li Che gradually calmed his mind, staring at the description, deeply pondering.

Similar to Ascending the Tower, initially... he was still somewhat unable to fathom this line of introduction.

After slowly resonating with it, his heart trembled slightly.

Feeling the divine tendrils sprouting from the [Pure Heart] Divine Foundation...

It was like the tentacles of an Evil God controlling his followers...

The threads of a Puppeteer manipulating puppets...

It always felt... not like anything good!

"You call this 'Pure Heart'? Pure and flawless, so white that it turns black?"

"Why does it feel deceitfully wicked?"

Li Che couldn't help but murmur.

He closed his eyes to comprehend, and gradually, the function of the Divine Powers prototype "Pure Heart - Soul Capturing" became clear to him.

He opened his eyes, exhaling a breath.

He lifted his hand, and within his palm, a grey-black Divine Chess Piece emerged.

It was formed from the divinity drawn from the body of the Ten Cities Corpse God Envoy he had killed.

The Thousand Analyzing Hands drew it, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard stored it, and now...

Was it the turn for Pure Heart to use it?

Divine Powers prototype, Pure Heart - Soul Capturing!

After being intensely activated!

An immense divinity surged from within the Pure Heart Divinity!

Suddenly, Li Che felt his eyes abruptly turning white, as if pale smoke was lightly swirling around them.

Unlike the gold smoke during Ascending the Tower, the white smoke was more ethereal, making Li Che's demeanor seem lofty and... indifferent!

As if indifferent to all life between heaven and earth, everything was merely a cold chess piece on the board.

The divine tendrils of the Pure Heart Divine Foundation touched the Corpse God Envoy's Divine Chess Piece.

At once...

The Chessboard, uniquely belonging to the Corpse God Envoy's Divine Chess Piece, burst forth, continuously piling up before Li Che.

Gradually...

It morphed into the twisted, ugly figure of the Corpse God Envoy, only its overall skin was dull and dark grey.

Devoid of life's breath, devoid of the fluctuations of a beating heart...

It was a mere lifeless object, completely condensed from divinity.

And with a single thought, he could completely control this Corpse God Envoy, who would obey his orders entirely...

As if it had become a soldier under his command!

Soul Capturing... capturing the divinity to form a Divine General under his command?!

Li Che took a deep breath; this was to completely exploit every Cultivator who died at his hands.

"It seems that only Cultivators of the Divine Base Realm are qualified to be 'captured by my soul'..."

With a thought from Li Che, the Pure Heart's divine tendrils condensed another Divine General.

It was Lin Da, the Second-in-Command of the Million Gambling House, at the Primary God-Base Realm.

The previous Corpse God Envoy had a Post-Divine Foundation Realm cultivation, but his main strength lay in the body of the Cursed Iron Corpse, not defeated by a Grandmaster Warrior combined with Divine Base Cultivation; indeed, very hard to kill.
