Chapter 217: Embodying Heaven and Earth, the Ox Demon Transforms into the Divine Monkey; Upon Waking from Wine, One Sees the Underwor

Crack—crack!

Thunder rumbled, lightning flashed!

The whole luxurious pavilion seemed to violently shake in this instant, the floorboards emitting strained creaks, unable to bear the weight!

"Who gave you the courage?"

Long Tai had a chicken leg stuffed in his mouth, his eyes blazing as he stared at the Ox Demon, the instant his words finished.

His steel teeth clenched down, crushing the chicken leg bones to fragments, and he swallowed it whole.

Yet upon him descended an immensely mighty martial will!

It was the martial will of an Innate Grand Master of the Heaven-Man Unity realm, so overbearing it became substantive, linking heaven and earth, as if pulling down the entire sky and pressing it upon the heart!

Heavy, oppressive, cramped……

It made both body and mind sink, even the speed of turning a thought becoming sluggish.

And the Ox Demon naturally bore the brunt of this concentrated martial will's oppression.

Beneath the mask, Li Che's chest throbbed violently with the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit; the immense pressure struck his spirit, and his martial will surged forth, the Dragon Elephant roaring, yet it could only hold back within three inches of his own space!

Heaven-Man Unity, as if able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth!

This is what makes an Innate Grand Master terrifying; the Innate True Gang is strong precisely because it merges the power of heaven and earth!

Li Che's emotions surged, his blood boiling throughout his body, the Star-Plucking Pupil at his brow blazing hot, that faint sense of danger lingering at his chest continually stimulating his muscles and bones!

His flesh continually grew, becoming ever more stalwart and massive, like a true mountain rising upward.

Boom——!

The Ox Demon fiercely stepped forward, like an extremely sharp steel blade, tearing apart the Innate Grand Master's martial will oppression.

He fiercely stepped upon the pavilion, the wooden floor instantly denting, with a crack—crack, shattered wood chips flying sideways.

"What gall! To actually withstand this Commander's martial will, resist the power of heaven and earth and step forward—among Divine Gang Grand Masters, you can be proud!"

Long Tai stood tall at nine feet, his muscles bulging, a hint of domineering aura appearing between his brows.

He stood before Su Huai, like an ancient city, standing firm between heaven and earth, indestructible!

This is……

Heaven-Man Unity!

Innate Grand Master!

Uniting with Heaven and Earth!

Boom——!!!

Outside the pavilion, the sound of the pouring spring rain seemed to have stagnated.

Long Tai fiercely stepped forward, assuming a charging posture; instantly, his qi and blood roared like thunder, accompanied by a horrifying qi-blood flood dragon coiling between heaven and earth.

Within the qi and blood lay a streak of extraordinarily brilliant white silk.

It burst forth with extreme light and heat!

Invisible ripples of qi and blood surged outward from the pavilion's floors, forming ripples that spread as far as ten zhang!

Spring wind and rain instantly dissipated, evaporated into mist, rolling like clouds and smoke!

And the hazy mist, accompanied by an inverted airflow, frenziedly surged into the pavilion.

The moment of the inversion, it seemed as if heaven and earth changed color.

Long Tai made his move!

The mighty, overwhelming pressure was truly formidable; at extreme speed, in the blink of an eye, that fist was about to strike the Ox Demon's body!

And the Ox Demon tapped his toe, performing the Soaring Void Eight Steps!

The afterimages shattered under the blows, yet another and another substantive afterimage appeared.

Long Tai's terrifying fist force closely followed; the vast white Innate True Gang seemed to solidify into a lifelike white translucent python dragon, complete with scales and flying whiskers.

Overbearing!

Peerless!

Pressure……

Greater than ever before!

A Heaven-Man Unity Grand Master is truly strong, far surpassing a Divine Gang Grand Master; moreover, the martial arts Long Tai cultivates seem anything but ordinary, extremely domineering!

In Li Che's eyes, however, surged countless tumultuous hues.

His five fingers clenched into a fist, the great tendons on his back quivering, the mighty blood like molten mercury surged, and gang qi erupted from every aperture and pore, intertwining in a hazy net!

Roar——!

Dragon Elephant in unison roar!

Ten Thousand Dragons Roar!

Primordial Chaos Equal Heaven!

The will of three martial sage absolute arts, the condensed divine gang, at this moment all burst forth, condensing into the Threefold Divine Gang!

Threefold Return to One!

As if in an instant, it transformed into the mythic descent of the Dragon Elephant!

In roaring, charging, and slaughter!

Huh?!

Long Tai's eyes flickered slightly……

This divine gang?!

What kind of divine gang is this?!

Thud——!!!

After shredding the afterimages of five Soaring Void Eightfold Steps, Long Tai fiercely punched, colliding hard with the fist Niu Mo snapped out by shaking and swinging his arm!

Boom!!

The terrifying collision erupted instantly, rolling surging waves scattering and tumbling outward.

The luxurious pavilion's entire roof was flung up, shattered into endless wood chips and dust, which flew up and was blown clean by the gale.

In the instant the explosion subsided, swirling air currents ravaged the surroundings of Long Tai and Niu Mo.

Where they stood, the pavilion's wooden floor blasted a huge pit, yet they ignored it, as if standing in midair.

Maintaining their fist-to-fist stance, the Three Yuan Divine Gang and Innate True Gang, like two bolts of lightning, continually struck and lashed at their sides.

Bang bang bang—!

Continually erupting scorching and terrifying qi-blood waves!

In Long Tai's eyes, shock deepened to the extreme.

"Impossible!"

"Divine Gang... how could it possibly block the Innate True Gang?!"

Long Tai let out a low growl.

He felt utterly incredulous.

What kind of Divine Gang could be so refined? In the Divine Gang Niu Mo unleashed, he felt immensely robust qi and blood, and an extremely refined supreme technique true intent.

This shows that the supreme technique true intent condensed in Niu Mo's Divine Gang is absolutely not low-grade—at least Martial Saint Supreme Technique True Intent?

But even if it were Martial Saint Supreme Technique True Intent, it could hardly block the Innate True Gang, could it?!

Unless...

Not just one Martial Saint Supreme Technique True Intent!

How could this be possible?

Martial Saint Supreme Technique is hard to learn and master; many spend a decade just to get started, another decade to reach minor accomplishment, and even reaching major accomplishment can stall outright—even if they achieve major accomplishment, hoping to condense Martial Saint true intent and cultivate a true intent Divine Gang may be hopeless in this lifetime.

Every Martial Saint Supreme Technique is cultivated from childhood...

Who would kindly raise a child, training them from childhood in multiple Martial Saint Supreme Techniques?

Wouldn't that drive the child mad?!

Long Tai could become a Grandmaster of Heaven-Man Unity, confident in his first-rate martial talent, with comprehension and resources more than sufficient.

Yet it took him ten years wasted to step from the peak of Divine Gang into the realm of the Innate Grandmaster...

If you made him cultivate three Martial Saint Supreme Techniques at once, you might as well shove him back into the womb!

Yet at this moment, beneath Niu Mo's mask, Li Che felt an unparalleled enjoyment!

Relaxed, exhilarated—this is the feeling!

He had found the authentic essence of the martial way!

A genuine physical collision!

However, Li Che also knew that the main purpose of this trip was not to fight Long Tai to the death.

But rather...

Kill!

Kill Su Huaili!

Su Huaili had already retreated to the edge of the pavilion, ready to turn and smash through its walls, breaking free and fleeing by commanding its divinity!

Mad!

Utterly mad!

This bull... has gone mad!

It's been only a short while since we last met, yet this bull can now fight an Innate Grandmaster!

What monsters and demons?!

Flee!

Moreover, Su Huaili knows Niu Mo all too well...

Niu Mo... his conduct is extremely sneaky and deceitful; he certainly won't fight fair and square!

How could he possibly engage Long Tai in a earnest head-on clash?

Niu Mo's target... is definitely him, always him!

Su Huaili had long anticipated that Niu Mo would target him, come to kill him, with the netherworld seeking to claim his life!

And now, indeed, the wait is over!

Behind Su Huaili, his Divine Origin Golden Core blazed vibrant and splendid!

Suddenly...

A chill rose from his pores!

In an instant it spread from his spine to cover his whole body, as if some hidden poisonous snake in the darkness had locked onto him!

Darkness...

Su Huaili's eyes narrowed.

Shadow!

He lowered his gaze to his shadow—sure enough, a figure swiftly writhed within it, a pitch-black dagger that seemed to swallow all light, now just an inch from his neck!

Top-tier assassination!

"Shadow Guard!"

Su Huaili's scalp tingled; he let out a long cry, his Golden Core contracting and expanding violently, then pouring forth a surging torrent of mighty divine aura!

At some point, Su Huaili had a spear appear in his hand; the silver spear slammed hard against his neck!

Ding——!!!

Sparks sprayed outward!

Bursting nonstop!

Su Huaili was directly smashed by the terrifying power of the Grandmaster, blasting him sideways out.

However, just as he landed, he saw the Shadow Guard surge out from his shadow again, and in his hand he also flung four pitch-black chess pieces like ink……

Chess pieces?

Su Huaili loved playing chess, but at this moment, seeing these black chess pieces, he felt a sudden terror as if death loomed overhead!

These chess pieces……

Bang——!

Sure enough, the black chess pieces swelled upon meeting the storm; when they fell around his body, they instantly transformed into three twisting black silhouettes, completely shrouded in darkness, likewise wearing pitch-black masks like ink.

They were subordinates of Black Impermanence!

Besides……

Moreover, an extremely mighty and terrifying blade light swept over, a blinding white light to the extreme!

"Xue Dufu——!"

Su Huaili's voice turned sharp!

Acquaintances, all of them are damn acquaintances……

But these acquaintances are all dead people!

How are they all alive?!

They all joined the Netherworld behind his back?!

Xue Dufu wore a pure white mask, a fingernail scar on it shocking to the eye; he raised his crescent blade, and terrifying moon-blade aura surged forth.

Thirty strands of Divine Gang erupted, leaving Su Huaili hardly able to move a muscle!

His Divine Origin Golden Core trembled almost uncontrollably.

Su Huaili knew that with his Divine Origin cultivation, he could not block it……

He simply couldn't block it!

Grandmaster……

They're all damn Grandmasters!

Four Grandmasters!

Is this the Netherworld's foundation?!

What a lineup!

Having reached Dao City, has he arrived at the Netherworld's main base?!

The Netherworld in Dao City…… also has forces stationed?!

o￠O

Boom——!!

Suddenly.

A terrifying thunderclap exploded and resonated, instantly howling forth; in high-speed rotation, it actually pierced through the perception-isolating obstacle of the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, shooting forth at breakneck speed!

Heaven and earth seemed to be split in two in an instant, torn apart!

As if the heavenly canopy were pierced!

The surging heavenly river poured down!

"Divine Archer!"

In the distance, Li Che, wearing an ox-demon mask and exchanging a blow with Long Tai, narrowed his eyes.

There actually was a Divine Archer……

Moreover, this arrow's power even surpassed Horse Face's sniper shot!

The qi-blood, martial will, and divinity contained in the arrow surpassed even a Divine Gang Grandmaster!

A Heaven-Man Unity-level Divine Archer?!

Innate Grandmasters…… are they free of charge?!

However, Li Che realized this was survivor bias; Grandmasters are still extremely rare in Dao City.

However, this Grandmaster should be a backup arranged by You Liqing!

Placed in the military camp, he is also a top-tier existence!

Bang——!

The arrow slammed fiercely onto White Impermanence Xue Dufu's crescent blade; the terrifying force, while blasting away the thirty strands of Divine Gang condensed by Xue Dufu, also pierced his chest, blasting his shoulder with intensely black mist!

Such an arrow, peerless and elegant!

Like an azure bird alighting on dust and spreading its wings to fly!

Irresistible!

However, the Shadow Guard and the three assassins sent by the Divine Hunter Pavilion to capture spirits were professionals, unaffected, and continued their assault on Su Huaili!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The terrifying arrows continued to rend the sky, like a phoenix's cry; in the time of a single wing flap, they had already shot forth nearby!

Four arrows released in an instant!

All four assassins, including the Shadow Guard True Person, were locked on!

Shooting through, the pavilion instantly exploded into fragments!

Meanwhile, the Shadow Guard hid into the shadow, while the remaining three assassins were shot and exploded into black mist, dissipating.

Huh?!

In the space between heaven and earth, a sound of surprise seemed to leak out.

It seemed to have sensed something...

It seemed, these assassins... were not like living people.

The extremely fierce airflow surged sideways, and Long Tai's fierce laughter suddenly rang out.

Hahaha!

This is the flustered appearance that Divine Gang should have when facing the Innate!

Long Tai was referring to Bai Wuchang Xue Dufu, who had his shoulder blown apart by a single arrow from an Innate Grand Master Divine Arrow Master, leaving him almost powerless to resist.

Blocked by the Ox Demon's punch, even evenly matched, Long Tai's people went numb, doubting whether they were Innate Grand Masters, doubting that the strength from their food remained in their mother's womb.

But only now did he realize it wasn't that he was weak, but that this Underworld Ox Demon before him was too strong!

But now...

He could now properly meet this Ox Demon!

Such a monstrous martial artist, Long Tai truly felt his fists itch, his enthusiasm greatly increased!

He hated to...

Beat him to death alive!

Clenching his five fingers, a flowing gold crocodile-head long-handled axe instantly fell into his hand; a flip, and mighty blood-qi vibrations erupted, the overwhelming might of the Six Offices Divine Weapons sweeping forth!

Long Tai got serious!

Boom!

He swung the axe down fiercely, immense force and weight, the extreme martial will locked onto the Ox Demon, sealing off all its retreat space, forcing it to clash strength with his crocodile-head giant axe!

Boom after boom of exploding qi burst forth, like the constant thunder of the Cloud Empress!

Come on! Release that unique Divine Gang of yours, which fuses the true meanings of three Martial Sage's ultimate learnings!

Long Tai's face was full of madness and ferocity!

Let's see...

Can it still hold up!

Rumble!

The giant axe seemed to split heaven, wild disheveled hair flying, the mighty Innate True Vital Energy Python coiled around the crocodile-head giant axe!

It seemed it could split mountains and sever great rivers!

Pfft——

Then.

The imagined, man-to-man hard-on-hard romance did not appear.

Silky...... soft...... continuous......

As if splitting a painting.

Yet the Ox Demon also unleashed a world-shattering forward punch, then was cleanly split in two by his axe!

Long Tai's madness in his eyes froze, the ferocity on his face stiffened.

What's the situation?

Paper tiger?!

Wait——

Long Tai's splitting force had not yet been exhausted, still in the stage of exerting power.

And in the black mist blown up by the Hunter God Pavilion assassins shot by the Divine Arrow Master far away, a white Divine Chess Piece glowed brightly.

Then, the white chess piece seemed to be grasped together by a large hand like a palm-leaf fan!

The Ox Demon's towering stature like a pagoda mountain actually broke free from the grapple with Long Tai and appeared before Su Huáli!

Teleport!

The Ox Demon's signature, its most skilled Teleportation Technique!

Indeed……

Appearing and disappearing mysteriously, like a Divine Ability!

……

……

The rain poured down, raindrops the size of beans, continuously falling, extremely cold and piercing.

It seemed to want to expel all remaining winter chill in this violent spring rain, leaving it completely dry!

You Liqing turned into a golden light, speed extremely fast, tearing through space, flying toward the area where the Yun Family's thousand-year clan resides.

«【Hundred Turns Worry Dream Osmanthus Spirit Rabbit】 Guiyi Miao, it is the Guiyi Miao overseen by the Yun Family; the Yun Family, as one of the three great thousand-year clans of Dao City, has rich foundations, and it is heard that they possess a Divine Nurturing Technique capable of transferring the temple deity into the body of a newborn Thousand-Foot Divine Child whose innate vital energy has not yet dissipated…»

«In this way, the temple deity's reincarnation can be achieved, obtaining nearly ninety percent of its will and divinity. »

«Could it be that the Yun Family found a divine child with extremely high affinity for that Spirit Rabbit temple deity, completely capturing the Spirit Rabbit, thus causing the Guiyi Miao to collapse? »

«Furthermore…… if it wasn't the Yun Family's doing, could it possibly be the work of the Corpse God Sect and the Hunter God Pavilion? »

Speeding through the air, mighty blood-qi evaporated and shattered the raindrops.

You Liqing fell into contemplation.

«Nowadays, Qianyuan Dao City is a jumble of fish and dragons, chaotic in all directions…… various forces hide within, ostensibly to recruit and examine the direct disciples of the Sect Master of the Qianyuan Divine Sect. »

«But actually…… both openly and secretly, it's all for the inheritance of that Five Elders Guiyi Miao. »

That……

It concerns the inheritance of the once Supreme Divine Sect, the Temple of Equal Heaven!

The teacher sent me here for this inheritance… Whoever obtains the inheritance of this five‑elder‑level Guiyi Miao can ascend the tower of Qitian Cheng and find that staff!

A single thought of it.

Even You Liqing, who has reached the top three‑flower stage, feels a bit unsettled.

His mind churns, Qi and blood roil.

"Hey— what are you daydreaming about again? Is there a climax in your mind?"

Suddenly.

A burst of unrestrained laughter interrupted his thoughts.

You Liqing's eyes narrowed; beneath his golden armor, powerful Qi and blood intertwined, and an unrivaled, fierce martial will swept through.

Yet it was sliced open by an extremely sharp sword‑like blade.

"Stop staring; we're old rivals, we know each other's roots and foundations… you know my root, I know your foundation…"

Below.

Beside the ruins of Guiyi Miao, a shabby yet dashing figure—【Bai Zhuan Youmeng Gui Ling Rabbit】—shouldered a sword case, clenched a wine gourd scarred with sword marks, and laughed while drinking.

"Huang Jianjiu."

You Liqing floated down.

He gave Huang Jianjiu an indifferent glance, too lazy to bother.

He had nothing to say to this drunken street drifter; they kept bickering nonstop.

Although Huang Jianjiu's strength was impressive, You Liqing knew his wine quality was terrible, downright garbage.

He stared at the empty ruins, a Guiyi Miao that seemed to have vanished into thin air—how astonishing.

Thinking of the possible repercussions made his hair stand on end.

"You talk to me, Xiao You."

You Liqing ignored him, while Huang Jianjiu became sticky, wobbling as if about to fall into the rain.

Huang Jianjiu didn't need any yang energy to shatter the rain; he simply let the rain wash over him, seeking his own nonchalance amid the mess.

In You Liqing's view, this guy was nothing but mentally deficient.

"It's gone, truly gone…"

You Liqing's eyes tightened, and he stepped forward.

He inhaled deeply, resolved to report this to the teacher; perhaps Ping Luan Wang Ji Mo Li knows what the disappearance of Guiyi Miao entails.

Otherwise, You Liqing would always feel uneasy.

Suddenly.

You Liqing's eyes flickered slightly.

He snapped his head, and countless raindrops exploded into spray at that instant!

"How dare you!"

"How dare you?!"

Murderous intent swirled in You Liqing's eyes.

Su Huaili was assassinated!

He had just left when Su Huaili was stabbed!

It shows they never even considered You Liqing.

Brazen and utterly reckless!

Boom—!!!

A terrifying surge of Qi and blood rose, so shocking that even Huang Jianjiu beside him was moved, his own horrified blood soaring straight to the heavens!

Like a plume of Qi and blood poured into the firmament!

A mortal's Qi and blood may run out, but a Grandmaster who has reached the top three‑flower stage has a perfect, near‑infinite circulation.

You Liqing let out a long howl; scorching Qi and blood instantly vaporized the surrounding rain.

One step, he landed!

He sprang up from the ground!

He surged toward the heavens; the next moment, a white‑haired, purple‑eyed azure eagle swooped down, and You Liqing deftly stepped onto its back.

From high above he saw the ornate pavilion, the roof blown away, and the terrifying, horrendous Qi and blood that nevertheless leaked not a trace for him to sense.

You Liqing abruptly pressed his forehead, his eyes narrowing as if turning into a glare.

"Divine Seed—Furious King's Gaze!"

You Liqing's primordial spirit rose from behind.

In an instant.

Within his Divine Seed's twin pupils.

He saw…

A translucent chessboard spanning the heavens, its intersecting lines blocking any leakage or detection of Qi, divinity, or perception!

"What is this?"

You Liqing fixed his gaze.

But without time to think, he stepped onto the eagle's back.

The white‑haired, purple‑eyed eagle let out a screech and plummeted.

You Liqing, from the eagle's back, seemed to become a golden spear piercing the heavens.

He intended to drill down at high speed.

However, just as he moved.

His action of transforming into a brilliant golden divine spear suddenly stiffened.

……

……

Su Huai li's eyes were about to burst!

Sure enough, it's the Ox Demon!

Truly worthy of being the Ox Demon!

Link after link, meticulous thinking, sinister and vicious!

Su Huai li hated it!

How could it be so sinister?

What grudge, what resentment!

Su Huai li could never imagine what great grudge he had with the Ox Demon; why would the Ox Demon, or rather the netherworld, pursue him relentlessly from Jin Guang Fu to Dao Cheng, just to kill him!

Could it be because he once let Wen Long Shan go kill the Ox Demon?

Or perhaps because he once incited Ji Hai Hui to go worship the mountain?

But none of that was his doing.

Wen Long Shan died, Ji Hai Hui died…

Is that not enough?!

"Is that not enough?! Ox Demon!"

Su Huai li's eyes turned crimson, his pure white robes billowed, and his jet-black hair, which had never been let loose, fluttered as well.

He roared, his visage somewhat ferocious, and moreover brimming with an unstoppable killing intent!

"I have studied you, long ago I studied you thoroughly; I know your translocation technique! I know your sinister, vicious heart; I know you want to kill me—even if you chase me to the heavens and down to the underworld, you will still kill me!"

"But I just can't fathom why you are so obsessed with killing me!"

"So… do you think I would be utterly unprepared?"

"Just… foolishly wait for death, letting you kill me?"

Su Huai li was no longer the refined scholar.

At the instant the Ox Demon translocated from afar to appear before him, Su Huai li flung forth the bead he had long concealed in his palm!

Instantly, extreme death qi and corpse qi surged frenziedly from that bead!

In the distance.

A single axe split the Ox Demon's painted immortal doppelganger of Long Tai; he raised his great axe, astonished, blankly gazing at Su Huai li erupting with boundless death and corpse qi!

In his peripheral vision he clearly saw Su Huai li toss out a bead brimming with death and corpse qi!

"Corpse God Bead?!"

Long Tai's body trembled incessantly.

In the distance, a lithe divine archer stood a hundred zhang away; beneath her bamboo hat, her dark brows suddenly furrowed.

The drawn bowstring also snapped loose.

"Maggots of the Corpse God Sect?"

A cold, beautiful voice issued softly from her red lips beneath the hat.

It was filled with irrepressible disgust.

Her arrow…

Actually shot for the Corpse God Sect's maggots.

Her arrow…

Was no longer clean.

The female divine archer could not help but want to draw her bow and use her arrow to shoot that foul maggot.

But in the end she still did not do so.

Because Su Huai li is, after all, the junior disciple of the Great General…

Everything shall be decided by the Great General.

The female divine archer, coldly watching.

And Su Huai li at this moment cared nothing for others' thoughts or opinions.

His body was steeped in death and corpse qi.

At the same time.

An extremely terrifying will emerged from the Corpse God Bead he had crushed.

Roar——!!!

Utter horror, warping space!

As if countless black lightning bolts poured down.

"Corpse God Will!"

Both Long Tai and the female divine archer saw their faces slightly change.

Su Huai li…… actually concealed such a means?!

The Corpse God Will of the Middle Rank of the Six Offices!

This is Su Huai li's trump card!

Also the confidence to counter-kill the Ox Demon!

The Long Tai and the innate grandmaster divine archer arranged by You Li Qing for him, though they could give him a sense of security.

But not much.

After all, they're all outsiders; he doesn't trust them enough!

Only this Corpse God Will can be summoned by him; only then will Su Huaili fully trust, and only then will he have a full sense of security!

The Corpse God Will constantly twisted and swelled, emerging from the vortex of deathly and dark qi.

This Corpse God Pearl that contains the Corpse God Will is extremely precious!

Su Huaili obtained this Corpse God Pearl only by virtue of his identity as a disciple of Ji Molie; it is his greatest trump card.

It's really that the netherworld has forced him too harshly!

Su Huaili…… just wants to kill!

Kill Niu Mo!

「Kill! 」

Su Huaili let out a fierce, long howl.

At the moment the Corpse God Will appeared, it seemed as if a strong resentment burst forth.

He, finally able to descend!

One time, two times…… they were all held back!

He is furious!

Su Huaili was excited to the extreme; his crimson eyes, driven to utter madness by the Corpse God Will, stared fixedly at the distant Niu Mo.

However……

The next moment.

Su Huaili froze; the crimson in his eyes…… seemed to slowly recede.

But saw.

The brow of the Niu Mo mask split open, and a golden eye burst forth with golden light!

Then……

Divine surges rolled forth mightily!

Behind Niu Mo……

A divine apparition emerged!

One……

Constantly growing, growing……

In an instant reaching ten zhang tall, grasping the heavenly thunder that suppresses evil and exterminates demons……

Golden Ape God!

An immensely huge monkey, vivid and lifelike, opened its mouth and let out an angry roar!

Like an ancient treasure bell hung in an ancient temple atop endless snow mountains, struck hard and ringing out, terrifying sound waves burst forth like a flood breaking through!

After this roar……

Su Huaili's madness in his mind seemed to become much clearer.

「What…… what is this? 」

「How could there be such a divine apparition? ！」

It's merely a divine apparition, as if even the might of the Corpse God Will had been completely suppressed!

Su Huaili was bewildered, astonished.

His gaze stiffly shifted, his pupils suddenly trembling violently, and then he saw……

The Niu Mo mask on Niu Mo's face cracked with a kakaka sound, shattering into pieces, countless crimson splatters of fire god wood fragments falling.

Revealed a……

A face with flying golden monkey hair!
