In the depths of the Inner City within the Mysterious Que, Li Che senses an overwhelming unease, as if a great terror approaches from beyond. Opting to proceed alone toward the luxurious palace housing the Heavenly Corpse, he summons the Night Bat Demon God to scout for treasures, particularly the lost inheritance of the Equal Heaven Temple. Entering a sealed palace, Li Che discovers a gleaming Divine Weapon amid empty elixir bottles, pondering the fate of its former owner, a peak Martial Saint likely transformed into a Cursed Corpse.

Abruptly.

Li Che frowned as he stepped toward a desk fashioned from Spiritual Wood.

As a Master of Divine Sculpting, Li Che possessed a keen understanding of the state of his carvings. With a flick of his thumb, he brushed away the accumulated layer of dust.

Beneath the grime, a line of text emerged.

"The All Gods have descended, protect the Equal Heaven! Engage in battle!"

Boom——

An immense aura of combat flared to life, a roaring inferno reminiscent of the Heart Monkey Fire, blazing with ferocious intent.

Li Che’s gaze tightened, his vision blurring slightly from the impact.

The All Gods have arrived?

Just where had these deities manifested from?!

Could these be the entities from the All Gods Camp?

Prison Lotus, Black Sumeru, the Deceit Demon Cave, and the Dark Heavenly Court... were these the factions behind this arrival?

Taking a deep, steadying breath, Li Che’s thoughts raced. The Qitian Inner City sat isolated within the Strange Que. Did this imply that from within the Strange Que, the All Gods from the respective camps could traverse the region without hindrance and appear before the gates of Qi Tian City?

Even if the Strange Que was expansive, shrouded in Mysterious Fog that distorted senses and vision.

For the All Gods, perhaps such obstacles were trivial.

Connecting this revelation to the chilling premonition he had recently sensed via his [Pure Heart] Dao Fruit, his heart plummeted.

Giving his head a slight shake, Li Che pushed these grim thoughts aside.

He intended to synthesize the rewards gained from his Temple God Resonance, and following that...

He would fulfill the unfinished business awaiting him in the Qitian Outer City!

His objective remained fixed: to unearth a method to slay the Black Bull Demon God Venerable within the Realm of Two Disasters!

This Demon God Venerable, who dared to lust after his daughter and sought to abduct Xi Xi, dragging her into the Strange Que to be handed over to the Deceit Demon Cave, was firmly placed on Li Che’s execution list.

Consequently, Li Che’s plotting intensified; he had no intention of slowing down.

"Since the Qitian Inner City lies within the domain of the Strange Que, it stands to reason that the Demon Race's Transmission Technique would be unable to ferry other powerful Demon members inside, correct?"

A hypothesis formed in his mind.

Certainly, it was merely an educated guess; his knowledge regarding Demon Race transmission methods remained limited.

Regardless, Li Che’s resolve remained unshaken!

Given his current combat capabilities, a direct and fair victory against the Black Bull Demon God Venerable seemed unlikely.

Therefore, he would need to employ unconventional tactics and weave a trap.

Before that, bolstering his own power was paramount, for while circumstances might shift, the necessity of personal cultivation remained absolute!

He lowered himself into a cross-legged position.

Focusing his mind, he descended into the Tao Tribulation Space.

Deep within his chest.

Since finalizing his mastery of the Equal to Heaven’s Face and deriving insights from the Qitian Temple God Resonance, the Heart Monkey Fire ignited with newfound intensity.

Cloaked in the Heart Monkey Fire, he surged forward into the depths of the Tao Tribulation Space!

...

...

A dim orange glow filtered downward.

The owner sat upon his chair, while Xi Xi, having finished her buns, savored a plate of steaming dumplings. The skins of the dumplings appeared crystalline, radiating a subtle luster and emitting a tantalizing heat.

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

The owner, dressed in robes white as fallen snow, leaned back in his chair with a cigarette, staring off into the distance as if peering into another world entirely.

It was as though his sight had pierced the veil of time and space, fixing upon the ancient stone coffin hidden deep within the Qitian Inner City, where the withered remains of a monkey lay in eternal rest.

"Heavenly Corpse..."

"The Divine Tide remains in constant flux..."

Hiss——

Exhaling a long, thin stream of blue smoke, the cigarette embers curled in the air.

"Has it truly perished?"

The Big Black Dog, which had been circling Xi Xi in restless loops, came to an abrupt halt. It seemed to follow the boss's gaze, looking toward the direction of the Qitian Inner City.

The beast snorted, darted its tongue out, and resumed its playful circling.

Human and dog existed in their own private realms of contemplation.

The only soul untroubled was the little girl, who kicked her legs carelessly while enjoying her meal.

...

...

The Qitian Inner City.

One formidable aura after another erupted toward the heavens.

Following an arduous struggle against waves of Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses, the group finally breached the Qitian Inner City.

There was little time to process the astonishment; they had been scattered across the vast expanse of the inner city.

Yet, from the dark portal at their backs, death energy and corpse rot spilled forth, pursued by further Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses.

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable, wielding the Sea-crossing Purple Gold Beam with his dual horns pointed defiantly at the sky, possessed eyes that burned with a cold, blood-red light. He unleashed devastating strength, swinging his pillar to crush the skull of a First Disaster Second Tribulation Temple Guardian Cursed Corpse. Blood mist sprayed outward, forcing back the reinforcements through the gateway.

"Persistent pests," the Black Bull Demon God Venerable remarked icily.

Scanning the ruins of the Equal Heaven Temple surrounding him, a glint of predatory excitement surfaced in his gaze.

He began to march with heavy, purposeful strides, his presence as a practitioner of the Realm of Two Disasters feeling like a brewing storm.

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable locked his gaze upon the distant palace, marked by the towering Ruyi Golden Cudgel.

That structure was undoubtedly his quarry!

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

Selecting one, he squeezed it until it shattered.

Locked onto a specific coordinate, he kicked off the ground with immense force, launching himself into the air like a cannonball.

He was heading toward the location of the Night Bat Demon God, utilizing the pre-arranged demon energy for tracking.

Moments later, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable alighted before the Night Bat Demon God.

As he laid eyes on his subordinate, a faint, sinister smile broke through the crushing weight of his aura.
