...
Explosions boomed one after another inside the Equal Heaven Temple.
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable and Sea Flipping Nine Infants shattered once more, their blocking range shrinking dramatically with every blast, rendering them incapable of threatening the enemies further.
Five Second Calamity Divine Tribulation Venerables closed in steadily on the stone coffin!
Purple flames roared intensely, Li Che’s eyes dimming faintly as if he could no longer resist. These five Second Calamity Divine Tribulation Venerables charged forward fiercely, bent on victory.
Their preparations proved utterly meticulous!
The Supreme Foundation bound the Temple Guardian Cursed Corpse King, while multiple Divine Weapon forces readied themselves to erupt, overwhelming all with divine might.
Without Li Che’s scheme that slew the Black Bull Demon God Venerable and turned it into a Soul Capturing helper, the defense would have been far tougher!
Li Che’s thoughts shifted, commanding the Black Bull Demon God Venerable and Sea Flipping Nine Infants to keep obstructing the five foes with reckless abandon.
At the same time, he lunged toward the stone coffin again, extending his five fingers to press against it, intending to seal it into the Qiankun Space or Mo City Fengdu.
Yet...
A faint unease stirred in Li Che’s heart; the stone coffin refused to enter storage, neither fitting into the Qiankun Space nor shifting to Mo City Fengdu. He simply couldn’t manage it.
"How could it be..."
Li Che’s brows creased slightly.
Why couldn’t it go into Mo City Fengdu?
For the first time, Li Che faced an item he couldn’t transfer to the city, catching him completely off guard and shocking him deeply.
Boom——!!!
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable and Sea Flipping Nine Infants burst apart yet again.
But before they reformed, the five mighty silhouettes had already surged close to Li Che, now within ten zhang of the stone coffin.
"The Underworld can’t stop us now!"
"Earthly Ghost Emperor, you’re no descendant of the Equal Heaven Temple or Fang Family member—why block us so stubbornly?"
"If you seek death, we’ll grant it."
"Slay you, then claim Qi Tian’s remains!"
...
...
The Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame blazed wildly.
Li Che let out a soft sigh; he’d poured everything in, but the great powers had schemed too perfectly.
A quiet weight pressed on his heart, letting him sense the major gods’ factions’ wariness and pursuit of the Prison Lotus.
With Xi Xi as the Daughter of the Prison Lotus, her value was obvious. She’d surely face targeting from the gods’ camps ahead, much like today’s hunt for Qi Tian’s remains.
"Perhaps... a more cunning scheme is needed."
A icy resolve flashed in Li Che’s gaze.
Boom——!!!
Five overwhelming auras crushed the void, the five Second Calamity Divine Tribulation Venerables resembling gods and fiends.
Li Che’s icy stare swept over them.
His mind concentrated.
The Heaven and Earth chessboard whirled, shrouding the space, and instantly, as his five fingers clenched, Li Che vanished from beside the stone coffin.
He reemerged before the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel.
This divine staff loomed deep in the Equal Heaven Temple, by the altar, enormously thick, piercing from the Mysterious Temple toward the heavens.
Li Che forsook the stone coffin; he’d given his utmost, harboring no regrets.
He refused to throw away his life for an object.
Strive to the limit, achieve what’s possible, and when it fails... preserving life comes first.
Li Che understood his limits; Qi Tian might hold deep meaning for him.
The legends linking his two lives hid secrets he yearned to uncover.
But...
Li Che had priority protections: his wife and daughter!
Since the stone coffin wouldn’t transfer to Mo City Fengdu, he moved to the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, seeking to claim it.
Of the pair, one had to be secured.
His five fingers splayed out, smashing onto the Three Pure Ranks Divine Weapon.
Rumble——
Within his left arm, the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod trembled fiercely at that instant, rocketing upward, seemingly liquefying into a pool of molten gold.
The golden fluid twisted midair, then fired a golden ray that slammed madly into the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.
Li Che felt a brief stun.
Then came the thump of a heartbeat.
It echoed from the Ruyi Golden Cudgel’s core.
As though... the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod’s return served as this staff’s heart.
Buzz——
Myriad golden rays erupted, and the next instant, the entire Mysterious Temple quaked.
The five powerhouses by the stone coffin paused in surprise, whipping their heads around.
They beheld the Earthly Ghost Emperor with fingers on the colossal Ruyi Golden Cudgel; that pillar-thick Three Pure Ones Divine Weapon vibrated, shedding dust while void ripples spread outward!
The enormous staff contracted visibly to the eye.
Ultimately shrinking to a slim divine rod.
The rod gleamed with gold-capped ends, its core of crystalline red gold bearing ancient runes that shone with radiant gold!
Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Li Che seized the divine rod effortlessly with his five fingers, facing zero resistance.
A rush of warmth surged from the rod, paired with a thunderous heartbeat.
So straightforward?
This Three Pure Ranks Divine Weapon... yielded to him just like that?
Temple God Resonance?
Or the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod’s influence?!
Li Che had braced for a struggle!
What a windfall!
Not just Li Che; the five far-off Second Calamity Divine Tribulation Venerables gaped in shock too.
They’d skipped vying for the Three Pure Ones Divine Weapon initially, knowing its extraction’s difficulty.
Yet the Underworld Ghost Emperor plucked it so casually?!
Just stretch and yank...
Pulled free that easily?
Faulty Ruyi Golden Cudgel, or faulty Underworld Ghost Emperor?!
Abruptly.
Zhang Wuji’s Daoist robes billowed as he stared puzzled at the cracked stone coffin.
"Who opened the coffin?"
Zhang Wuji demanded gravely.
"What?"
The Chan Wen Ascetic Monk, Emperor of Dajing, and others froze in disbelief.
A chill thud hit everyone’s hearts.
The five yanked their eyes from the distant Underworld Ghost Emperor clutching the Ruyi Golden Cudgel back to the site.
Their gazes locked on the coffin.
The Prison Lotus-patterned stone coffin bore a widening crack.
Before all their eyes...
The stone coffin, cracking open in plain sight...
silently broadened its fissure further.
The gap stretched wider!
Had the stone coffin... unsealed itself?!
Self-opening?
Meaning the contents inside forced it ajar!
Qi Tian’s remains opened the coffin?!
A bone-deep chill, like glacial floods in a frozen realm, surged coldly through the five!
Nearly icing them over!
Zhang Wuji clenched his fingers, summoning the Silver Orb back to his grasp, face contorting; primal terror exploded from his soul.
Without pause, he became silver light, fleeing backward at top speed!
"Qi Tian... has been resurrected?!"
This cry.
Even Li Che, lost in the fresh Heaven Ruyi Golden Cudgel, jolted.
He whipped his head around, eyes wide with shock!
Simultaneously, the heartbeat from the rod in his grip intensified like booming thunder, pulsing through the staff into Li Che’s frame, exploding in his ears!
The divine rod quivered wildly.
With a swoosh—
Li Che’s fingers slipped free, the rod blasting from his palm.
It morphed into golden light, streaking upward.
Hurtling over the stone coffin!
Plunging straight through the coffin’s gap.
Planting upright inside.
Buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, buzzing—
The rod’s gold-plated, red-gold body shuddered nonstop, shadows blurring and expanding!
As if an invisible hand had tapped the upright staff.
In this instant.
Even titans like the Chan Wen Ascetic Monk, Emperor of Dajing, and kin.
Felt their scalps crawl.
"Qi Tian... has come back to life?!"
