Li Che senses a profound unease in the Inner City of the Mysterious Que, as if a great terror approaches from its depths. Choosing to act alone without joining Lv Taibai and others, he summons the Night Bat Demon God to scout for the Equal Heaven Temple's hidden inheritance and treasures. He enters a long-sealed palace, uncovering a Divine Weapon on a rack and empty elixir bottles, speculating that it once belonged to a Four-Transformation Peak Martial Saint turned into a Cursed Corpse.

Suddenly.

Li Che frowned as he approached a worktable carved from Spiritual Wood.

As a master of Divine Sculpture, he understood the condition of his wooden carvings perfectly. With a brief thumb press, he brushed away a layer of obscuring dust.

Below, a single line of text materialized.

"All Gods are present, protect the Equal Heaven! To battle!"

Boom—

An intense, overwhelming aura of combat surged forth, roaring like a violent flame, reminiscent of the Heart Monkey Fire in its fierce intensity.

Li Che’s pupils contracted, his focus vibrating with unease.

The All Gods have arrived?

From where did these entities emerge?!

Could they truly be the factions from the All Gods Camp?

Prison Lotus, Black Sumeru, the Deceit Demon Cave, and the Dark Heavenly Court... Are these the forces that have descended?

Drawing a sharp breath, Li Che’s mind raced. He realized the Qitian Inner City sat deep within the Strange Que. Does this imply that, within the Strange Que, the All Gods from the All Gods Camp move without restriction and can manifest right before Qi Tian City?

Even though the Strange Que is sprawling and masked by the Mysterious Fog—which clouds both vision and navigation—perhaps for the All Gods, such things present no obstacle at all.

When he connected this to the inexplicable dread he had just felt through his [Pure Heart] Dao Fruit, his heart plummeted.

Shaking his head, he decided to push such thoughts aside for the moment.

His current task was to organize the benefits gained from the Temple God Resonance, and then—

He would continue the work left unfinished in the Qitian Outer City!

His objective remained fixed: he had to secure an opportunity to eliminate the Black Bull Demon God Venerable within the Realm of Two Disasters!

That Demon God Venerable, who lusted after his daughter and sought to snatch Xi Xi away, intending to drag her into the Strange Que and offer her to the Deceit Demon Cave, was at the very top of his execution list.

Therefore, Li Che continued his machinations; he would never step back.

"The Qitian Inner City is nestled inside the domain of the Strange Que. Surely, the Demon Race’s Transmission Technique cannot pull in other high-level forces here, right?"

A theory formed in his mind.

Admittedly, this was merely speculation, as his knowledge of Demon Race transmission methods was thin.

Regardless, his strategy would move forward!

Given his current level of combat effectiveness, defeating the Black Bull Demon God Venerable openly was a difficult prospect.

He would need to leverage unconventional tactics and formulate a trap.

Above all, strengthening his own cultivation was paramount—everything else was secondary compared to the necessity of sharpening his own power!

He settled into a cross-legged position.

With his consciousness resonating, he dove into the Tao Tribulation Space.

Deep within his chest cavity.

Having finished the Equal to Heaven’s Face and gained revelations from the Qitian Temple God Resonance, the Heart Monkey Fire burned with newfound vigor.

Enveloped by these flames, he channeled his energy into the Tao Tribulation Space!

... ...

The dim, orange light drifted downward.

The boss sat on his chair while Xi Xi, having finished her buns, started on a bowl of steaming dumplings. The translucent skins shimmered like flowing light, radiating heat and an irresistible allure.

Xi Xi ate with gusto, her cheeks rounded and full.

The boss lit a cigarette, sitting in his chair with his white robes as pristine as fresh snow, staring off into the distance as if peering into another realm.

It was as if he could transcend space and time, gazing upon the stone coffin hidden deep within the palace of the Qitian Inner City, where the shriveled monkey corpse lay in wait.

"Heavenly Corpse..."

"The Divine Tide rises and recedes..."

Hiss—

He took a deep pull from his cigarette; the embers glowed until he finally released a stream of blue smoke.

"Is it truly dead?"

The Big Black Dog, which had been circling Xi Xi, froze, mimicking the boss’s gaze toward the Qitian Inner City.

It let out a soft snort, flicked its tongue, and resumed its playful trot around the girl.

Human and dog each held their own silent, heavy thoughts.

Only the little girl, happily devouring her dumplings while swinging her legs, seemed completely untroubled by the world.

... ...

The Qitian Inner City.

Powerful auras erupted, climbing toward the heavens.

After a savage battle, having carved their way through waves of Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses, the party had finally breached the Qitian Inner City.

However, there was no time for astonishment, as they were scattered throughout the vast city.

Yet, behind them, the black portal continued to bleed death qi and corpse qi as more Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses poured through.

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable, wielding the Sea-crossing Purple Gold Beam with his horns pointed skyward, exuded a terrifying, cold blood-lust. With a single rotation of his staff, he crushed the skull of a First Disaster Second Tribulation Temple Guardian Cursed Corpse, resulting in an explosion of blood mist that blasted back through the portal, scattering other foes.

"These spirits just don't know when to quit," the Black Bull Demon God Venerable remarked coldly.

He scanned the ruins of the Equal Heaven Temple within the Qitian Inner City, a glint of hunger in his eyes.

He began to march with heavy, purposeful strides, his Realm of Two Disasters cultivation driving him forward like a tempest.

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable quickly locked onto the central palace, his gaze fixed on the Ruyi Golden Cudgel that loomed over the structure.

That palace was his prize!

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable extended his hand; strands of black demon energy manifested in his palm.

Picking one, he crushed it to dust.

Without pause, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable changed direction, launching himself like a cannonball toward his destination.

He was heading toward the location of the Night Bat Demon God, using the pre-arranged Positioning Demon Trace.

Moments later, he spotted his ally.

Upon finding his subordinate, a faint, chilling grin surfaced beneath the swirling demon energy of the Black Bull Demon God Venerable.
