Li Che provides a place of sanctuary for Fang Hanshu, though he knows the cost of Fang Hanshu's sacrifice is terminal and beyond his power to reverse. After ensuring his companion is at rest, Li Che dons the Divine Monkey Mask and confronts the powerful figures gathered within the expansive Qitian Temple. Tension mounts as the intruders grow impatient, knowing the arrival of the Temple Guardian Cursed Corpse King will spell their doom. A chaotic battle breaks out between the opposing forces, with the central prize of the stone coffin hanging in the balance.

The Mysterious Temple's plan to link the human realm with the Strange Que requires adjusting the spatial barriers between them.

Yet inside this Qi Tian Mysterious Temple right now, space feels extraordinarily brittle.

“Fight for the Heavenly Corpse!”

That profound voice resounded without end, brimming with unwavering resolve; this was their sole aim.

They appeared utterly convinced that the Heavenly Corpse lay inside the stone coffin!

Black Bull Demon God Venerable and Sea Flipping Nine Infants held off the five Second Calamity powerhouses, looking increasingly pressured, on the brink of being torn asunder!

Li Che refrained from igniting the Qimen Immortal Seed and diving straight into the fray.

When his toes pressed against the floor, invisible shockwaves burst forth from beneath, with endless air flows surging outward like parted waves, dispersing ahead of him.

His figure streaked like a meteor, carving a dazzling white trail through the Mysterious Temple.

Charging straight for the stone coffin holding Qi Tian’s remains.

Etched across the ancient coffin were intricate lotus motifs, specifically the Prison Lotus patterns.

Li Che’s eyes held a complicated glint, a flicker of sentiment crossing his face.

Undoubtedly, based on the hints he possessed, once the connection fully formed, this Temple God Qi Tian clearly aligned with the [Prison Lotus] faction in the Deceitful Gods Camp.

[Black Sumeru], [Deceit Demon Cave], [Dark Heavenly Court], and various other divine factions opposed Qi Tian’s revival, seeking to claim the Heavenly Corpse and crush any chance of his resurrection!

From a different angle, it meant utterly eradicating the Prison Lotus camp!

Similar to his daughter Xi Xi, who suffered under the Temple God of Black Sumeru’s Golden Heavenly King Tower, cursed with the Prison Lotus Curse, facing a dire crisis during her Divine Fetus breakthrough.

Other Prison Lotus camp deities…

The Third Crown Prince was likely another Prison Lotus Temple God, as were Yun E and Zhou Peng, whose patrons Tian Peng and Guang Han also belonged to the Prison Lotus side.

Li Che couldn’t tell, nor judge the righteousness of the Prison Lotus camp; as a simple mortal, how could he grasp the schemes of gods?

He simply knew these divine factions targeted his daughter, even plotting to seize her—and that sufficed!

Boom——!!!

A horrifying blast detonated, the Chan Wen Ascetic Monk’s monk stick lashed out, radiating ominous darkness that shattered the surrounding space.

His gaze blazed with cicada-pattern flames as he locked onto the Underworld Divine Monkey hurtling toward the stone coffin!

Not just him—Zhang Wuji, the woman Guanyin, Emperor of Great Vista, Lu Wenchang, Witch God Priest, and others all turned their sights on the Underworld Divine Monkey.

They watched with intrigue, pondering the monkey’s intent: to pry open the coffin and verify the Heavenly Corpse’s presence?

Still, they didn’t halt their assaults while observing!

Boom——!!!

The void itself teetered on collapse, Black Bull Demon God Venerable and Sea Flipping Nine Infants bellowed furiously, trembling as if about to explode.

But their bodies held firm, unyielding, refusing to yield ground, their fighting spirit blazing like they were anchored in the emptiness, ready to battle till the end!

Even with cracks spiderwebbing Black Bull Demon God Venerable’s Disaster Wheel, he pressed on relentlessly.

The others grew desensitized, questioning if this Ten Thousand Rivers’ Black Bull Demon God Venerable had lost his mind?

Was it worth it?!

Aren’t we all pursuing the same thing?

Why ally with the Underworld, going berserk to this extent, Disaster Wheel fracturing and harming his core, dooming his divine path!

Insanity!

Rumble——!!!

A devastating assault crashed down, divinity surging like endless ocean waves, infused with Dao Yun Power, amplifying the divine strikes to nightmarish ferocity!

Bang bang bang bang bang——

“Come on! Come on!”

“Old Bull is not afraid of you all!”

Black Bull Demon God Venerable thundered, his frame bulging massively as he brandished the Sea-crossing Purple Gold Beam, swinging wildly while blood poured from his mouth nonstop.

Meanwhile, Sea Flipping Nine Infants’ six dragon-like heads expanded with glittering scales, exhaling thick shadowy mists!

Suddenly——

The cicada-eyed ascetic monk brandished his monk stick.

“Poison!”

Boom!

A fearsome golden cicada, radiating divinity and Buddha Light, emerged with flapping wings!

In an instant, the golden cicada darkened visibly!

“Damn! Has the poison been discovered?”

Black Bull Demon God Venerable spat curses amid bloody coughs.

Why the poison?

Ah, backstabbed… oh well!

Not that Old Black Bull is dim, but their lord is just too… cunning!

Gu Yinxuan, concealed in shadows with mask and black robe, noted his once-potent Heavenly Poison Pill rendered useless; his masked brows arched faintly, descending into frenzied delight!

Bald donkey, you’ve caught the Poison Saint’s attention!

He lifted his hands, each finger clutching a pitch-black, venom-oozing poison pill!

He crushed them fiercely and hurled them forth without hesitation!

Poisonous mists billowed wildly!

At the same time.

Li Che paid no heed to Black Bull Demon and Sea Flipping Nine Infants getting pummeled near destruction.

Provided their frantic obstruction sufficed, since…

They fear not death—dying means nothing, just resurrect and rejoin the fight!

Even Gu Yinxuan, yet to exceed the One Disaster and Three Tribulations Realm, got deployed by Li Che.

Yet Gu Yinxuan stood apart; with mastery of Thousand Bone Centipede Powder, he held the hidden power to venomously wound a Second Calamity Divine Tribulation Venerable!

Thus, deploying Gu Yinxuan offered real containment and stalling power.

Li Che shared Fang Hanshu’s goal.

Blocking these five Second Calamity Realm experts long enough granted the Temple Guardian Cursed Corpse King vital moments!
