Equalling Heaven awakened in the Qitian Temple, sealing the space and trapping the three Second Calamity Venerables as they failed to shatter the void. The old monkey recalled the Golden Cudgel, devoured Lu Wenchang's corpse to absorb its energy, and gifted Li Che the purified Dragon Banner Spear upon recognizing his tie to the Daughter of Prison Lotus. Boundless world energy surged into the temple, empowering the awakening and alarming observers across Qi Tian City, while the five Supremes escalated their assault on the Temple Guardian Curse Corpse King.

A deity just roused from slumber across an age of divine tides, as time ebbs and flows, requires moments to reclaim its full might and battle prowess.

This moment stands as their golden opportunity. If they fumble this window, once Qitian regains his full power...

Depending solely on their own strength...

They wouldn't dare challenge or contain Qitian even with a thousand times their courage!

...

...

Great Scenic Divine Capital.

The First City.

The whole Divine Capital quaked fiercely, the earth shuddering as vast fissures cracked open across the ground, with stones splitting apart without warning.

Buzzing——

Across the Divine Capital, mighty Heaven and Earth Souls erupted one by one, surging wildly through the air.

Imperial Palace.

Clad in radiant yellow dragon robes, the Emperor's face gleamed with divine light and Dao essence, lending him an immortal, transcendent aura.

He strode forward steadily, his gaze profound and unfathomable.

At his side stood the elegant and regal Empress, accompanied by a strikingly alluring woman whose charm evoked a desire to shield her.

This captivating figure, dispatched by the Su Family to the Divine Capital as part of their plot, had risen to become the palace's Noble Consort—the young Su Da.

The Empress and Noble Consort Su Da lingered a few paces back, their hearts pounding like raging waves in silence.

These strange omens...

A cornerstone of the Great Scenic Imperial Clan has crumbled!

It had to be one of the exceptional emperors from the Great Scenic bloodline, a powerhouse brimming with Qi fortune!

Those who, even in retirement, pressed onward in cultivation to claim lofty positions within the Great Scenic Imperial Clan.

The Emperor's dragon robe billowed, fury and grief simmering beneath the veil of divinity and Dao essence.

For a dynasty lacking ancient foundations, without the support of the All Gods Camp like the Dark Heavenly Court, the Da Jing Dynasty's slow ascent would prove impossible.

The demise of a former emperor at the Two Calamities Divine Tribulation Realm carried dire consequences, drastically undermining the Great Scenic Imperial Clan's might.

"What happened inside Qitian Temple..."

"A Two Calamities Divine Tribulation Venerable symbolizes unmatched dominance in the mortal realm, no pushover even among the Strange Que—how could such a being plummet so abruptly."

The Emperor's chest tightened with pain.

After all, a Two Calamities Divine Tribulation Venerable proved indispensable to the imperial court.

Most critically, this perished former emperor bore the Qi fortune of the Great Vista.

His passing scattered and shattered that fortune!

Leading to the steady decline of a nation's destiny...

This struck the deepest blow!

"The Chief Supervisor claims Great Vista is doomed... could this truly spell the end?"

"I won't accept it—one man's prophecy can't dictate Heaven's decree; foretellings err at times, no single soul can pierce a country's fate!"

The Emperor balled his fist tight.

"I refuse to believe it!"

...

...

Qitian Temple.

Within.

Swallowed by surging divinity and essence qi, divinity and tribulation forces seemed to coalesce in every direction.

The stone coffin drowned in endless energies, hiding the old monkey's shape from sight or sense.

An immense, crushing pressure unleashed, rattling the entire Mysterious Temple and rippling to its farthest reaches!

Li Che's eyes gleamed; abruptly sensing a shift, he whipped his gaze toward the divine statue atop the Mysterious Temple's altar.

The statue donned armor, gripped a treasure staff; its head bore a Phoenix Feather Treasure Crown, knees subtly flexed, palms hooked inward, radiating pure divine majesty.

Previously shrouded in hazy divine mist that blurred its features, now it stood crystal clear.

The enigmatic fog cloaking the statue's face gradually lifted.

Unveiling a vivid, godlike glow, sharp-eyed Divine Monkey visage, awe-inspiring and transcendent, poised with heaven-bearing stature.

Undeniably, this marked the authentic form of the Qitian Divine Sculpture, or Qitian's supreme manifestation!

Rich essence qi and spiritual forces swirled and fused, as Qitian steadily revived.

The overflowing celestial energies made Li Che's body quiver faintly.

His spirit moved; he dropped into a cross-legged seat, pores flaring open across his frame, his Pure Martial Immortal Golden Body unfurling to greedily absorb the heavenly power.

He simply borrowed from Qitian's awakening, channeling the energies to bolster his own growth.

Having freshly ascended to Martial Immortal realm, Li Che craved vast energies to refine the blend of Martial Immortal Dao essence with his flesh.

Thus, siphoning from Qitian's resurgence brought zero qualms.

Inside Qitian Temple.

The Chan Wen Ascetic Monk of Western Regions Buddha Land, the female Guanyin, and the Witch God Priest of Wushen Mountain all bore faces etched with dire gravity.

Facing Qitian's horrifying pressure, the trio locked eyes and mind-linked swiftly.

"We must unite our strength! Qitian revives, his godly might overflows... delay until full recovery, and we're doomed to despair and demise."

"Right now, with Qitian newly awakened and far from peak, this might be our sole shot at survival!"

"Attack—let's combine forces and blast free from this Mysterious Temple!"

...

Their minds clashed in unity, and in a heartbeat, agreement formed, all set to assault Qitian together.

To stall Qitian's revival, grasp the moment, shatter through, and flee with their lives!

Boom——!!!

The three Two Calamities Divine Tribulation Venerables chose without hesitation.
