The Sky Wolf Supreme has fallen, a catastrophic anomaly appearing in the sky as proof. Jialou and Xuanzhen Supremes are shocked and uneasy, questioning who could have accomplished such a feat. Meanwhile, Li Che emerges from Mo City Fengdu, feeling the weight of his responsibilities as a father. He walks into Qitian Outer City, where he encounters a restaurant owner who notices his fatigue and offers him a meal, accepting the flesh of the Sky Wolf Supreme as payment.

Ring... ring...

The restaurant’s wind chime swayed with a clear, pleasant chime, like spring water stirred by a gentle breeze, creating ripples that spread like the ebb and flow of tides.

Steam billowed upwards from a sizzling wolf meat dish. Each crystal-clear slice of wolf meat appeared gem-like, emitting a brilliant luster and a rich, enticing aroma.

The owner had expertly processed the flesh and blood of the Sky Wolf Supreme. The potent fragrance nearly saturated the entire establishment, threatening to spill out into Qi Tian City itself.

After all, it was supreme meat, exceptionally delicious, enhanced by the owner’s masterful culinary skills. The moment it was served, Li Che felt as if his nose would be yanked off, and upon taking a bite, his tongue nearly surrendered in delight.

He devoured it heartily, pairing each mouthful with a bowl of pristine white rice.

Gulping it down, he ate with immense satisfaction and gusto!

Silence pervaded the restaurant. The owner, foregoing any smoking, was occupied with a transparent treasure bead.

Before long, Li Che concluded his meal. He leaned back in his chair, exhaling deeply. His complexion was flushed, and it felt as though the acupoints across his entire body were surging with essence Qi.

As expected, truly worthy of the owner!

The owner’s cooking prowess had perfectly preserved the essence Qi within the Sky Wolf Supreme meat. This single meal was equivalent to Li Che consuming several Divine Medicine Martial Pills!

Such culinary skill was nothing short of divine; calling it the Saint Hand was an understatement—it was truly the Immortal Hand!

Li Che savored the lingering taste, wishing for more. Yet, no feast is eternal, and even the most delectable fare eventually depletes.

Moreover, overindulging in even the most exquisite flavors can lead to them becoming mundane and losing their appeal.

Li Che did not linger in reminiscence for long. He produced the Supreme Demon Core, and its dense demonic energy immediately permeated the restaurant.

The owner ceased his manipulation of the treasure bead and cast a glance his way.

"You require my assistance in removing the divinity and the Dao Divine Pattern from the demon core?"

the owner inquired casually.

Li Che let out a chuckle, "Owner, your perception is keen."

"Enough of that. It’s a bothersome task. Find someone else to handle it,"

"Any competent alchemist can manage such a feat."

The owner waved a dismissive hand.

Li Che remained unfazed, understanding the dynamics of interacting with the owner, who maintained a detached demeanor towards most individuals.

Even towards Li Che, an old acquaintance, the owner exhibited little overt attention.

The owner’s sole concern revolved around matters pertaining to Xi Xi.

"Owner, this Supreme Demon Core holds considerable importance. Xi Xi has already departed for the Golden Light Prefecture, and with the Third Prince Temple God nearing resurrection, a significant upheaval is imminent. Unlike the Qi Tian Resurrection, the factions within Strange Que among the All Gods have been making preparations for some time."

"Supremes, demigods, deities igniting their divine fire… all these might emerge."

"As a father, the pressure is certainly palpable. Consequently, I am driven to rapidly enhance my strength to provide Xi Xi with the utmost support,"

Li Che stated earnestly.

"Owner, I implore your assistance."

The owner remained seated, displaying minimal emotion. He regarded Li Che, his eyes holding a profound and knowing gaze.

He had already perceived Li Che’s underlying motive…

Using your daughter as leverage against me?!

The owner found this notion both irritating and amusing.

You, as a father…

Truly intriguing.

"Understood."

Nonetheless, the owner had indeed succumbed to the gambit.

Outside, the Big Black Dog, having overheard Xi Xi’s name, lifted its long neck. It scanned its surroundings, confirmed Xi Xi’s absence, and promptly returned to its sound sleep.

The owner accepted the demon core, which radiated overwhelming demonic energy as it settled into his palm. Under the restaurant’s illumination, its Dao Divine Pattern, divinity, and residual essence Qi became visible.

The owner examined it with indifference, and then, a humming sound began to emanate…

Li Che’s eyes narrowed.

Immediately, his body hair stood on end, a profound chill washing over him as if enveloped by a spectral blade's wind.

Before his very eyes, a luminous blade light materialized, appearing almost sentient. It descended upon the demon core, moving with astonishing swiftness, imperceptible to the naked eye.

Slash—slash—

The Dao Divine Pattern etched upon the Supreme Demon Core manifested, only to be instantly severed by the blade light, shattering into fragments. The divinity was entirely stripped away with further strokes of the radiant blade.

From Li Che’s perspective, the Supreme Demon Core visibly diminished in size.

Eventually, it contracted to the dimensions of a fist, now pure demonic energy and essence Qi, radiating brilliantly like a luminous night pearl.

"Completed."

The owner casually tossed the refined demon core back to Li Che.

As Li Che caught it, his gaze involuntarily drifted to the golden cleaver in the owner’s hand. The knife, adorned with intricate dragon patterns, seemed to house a genuine Golden Divine Dragon within its mere appearance.

A Divine Weapon…

And an exceptionally potent one at that!

Buzzing…

Within his arm, the Three-point double-edged knife began to quiver subtly.

The owner spared it a cursory glance before retracting his cleaver.

"All finished."

"You've finished your meal, you are free to go now."

The proprietor stood, his white robes swirling as he retreated into the kitchen.

The kitchen was a place visitors were not permitted to linger.

A chuckle escaped Li Che as he stored the demon core, then quickly devoured the rest of the wolf meat remaining on his plate.

Feeling utterly full and content, even his burps released potent essence qi.

His bones vibrated, and his qi-blood surged like a powerful tidal wave, his physical body instinctively beginning to refine this essence qi to strengthen itself.

"I'm heading out now, Gou," Li Che announced.

Having reached the doorway, Li Che cast a glance at the large black dog dozing on the floor, a smile gracing his lips.

The big black dog's eyes snapped open, its face contorted in a snarl!
