240. Chapter 237: Devil Ape's One Staff Shatters Heaven, Destroying All Falsehood; Divine Talisman Turns to Clouds, Shaking You Li Qing 【seeking monthly tickets】

Whooo—

The furious wind howled, whipping up white snow across the sky!

The Divine Talisman Tower stood on the mountain summit.

Vast snowflakes poured down between heaven and earth, covering millions of miles, freezing the land.

Between the pavilions, it was warm as spring.

Sect Leader's Lady Xuan Qisha, though tiny, clenched her fists and patted Xixi's shoulder.

The master and disciple, both small, looked like sisters.

Jiao Shaqiu sat on the wooden floor, hearing the Sect Leader's Lady's words, he froze in place, stunned.

Sect Leader's Lady……wants to take Xixi to vent her anger?!

Jiao Shaqiu took a deep breath.

He seemed to have underestimated the Sect Leader's Lady's affection for Xixi!

Being able to hole up in the Divine Talisman Tower, a sixty-year seclusion as a Divine Talisman Master, yet they actually stepped out for Xixi!

This surprised Jiao Shaqiu even more than Xixi's astonishingly powerful talisman talent!

"The Dragon God clan—no, the Loach clan—actually dares to act so arrogantly!"

"She lost her son, yet she wants to force an innocent little girl to marry her dead son in a netherworld wedding—utterly inhumane! Oh, that wretched beast damn it, not even human! Deserves death!"

The Sect Leader's Lady rolled up her sleeves, revealing her small, slender arms, and patted the aggrieved Xixi's shoulder.

Her eyes flickered with intense hostility.

"Master… please calm down a bit."

Jiao Shaqiu's withered, aged face twitched slightly as he hurriedly spoke.

The Sect Leader's Lady glanced at Jiao Shaqiu.

She snorted coldly: "I know what you want to advise me about… pointless, not the slightest bit of meaning!"

"Ji Mo Li is indeed strong, but so what?"

"No one else has come!"

The Sect Leader's Lady spoke with righteous confidence!

"Shouldn't we take advantage of their absence to bully his pet?!"

The Sect Leader's Lady imitated Xixi's pose—head raised, chest out, belly tucked—but…

She didn't have the same little belly as Xixi.

"Lady, the Qianyuan Divine Sect fears no Prince Pinglan, but behind him stands the Dàjǐng court."

Jiao Shaqiu gave a bitter smile.

"You know the current situation: the Dàjǐng court is weak, long gone is the might and hegemony that once shook the world a century ago."

"The Corpse God Sect rebels, the Hunter God Pavilion acts without restraint, plus the reincarnated temple gods, foreign ancient tribes, the Great Li Royal Court in the desert… Amid internal and external troubles, the Dàjǐng court's attitude toward the Divine Sect has become…"

Jiao Shaqiu said in a low voice.

He worried that the Sect Leader's Lady had stayed too long in the Divine Talisman Tower, lacking any grasp of the world situation, so he gave a brief description.

Xuan Qisha narrowed her eyes: "What? Does the Dàjǐng still intend to suppress the Divine Sect and annex all the major divine sects?"

"Even at its peak of prosperity, the Dàjǐng would not dare such actions… yet now, in its decline, it dares?"

Jiao Shaqiu gave a bitter smile.

"This disciple doesn't know..."

"However, that's what the jianghu rumors say, and Prince Pinglan Ji Mo Li… is the Dàjǐng's sharpest spear."

The Sect Leader's Lady chuckled: "Auntie is scared…"

"Rest assured, although a dragon has many uses… dragon blood can be used for alchemy and ink, dragon bones for divine weapons, dragon tendons for bowstrings, dragon hide for armor, dragon meat for cooking—grilled to perfection—but rest assured, I can hold back."

Xixi blinked her big, bright eyes.

A dragon…

It has such great uses?!

Xixi felt as if a new world's door had been opened.

Hearing this, Jiao Shaqiu shook his head and said no more.

On the Sect Leader's Lady's small head, her delicate face, her eyes narrowed into thin slits.

"Disciple Xixi, follow me, Master!"

The Sect Leader's Lady took Xixi's small hand, and the two youngsters instantly arrived at the pavilion's railing.

Gazing out, wind and snow filled the sky!

The Sect Leader's Lady's skirt and sleeves fluttered; with a shake of her hand, a talisman drifted out, the cinnabar ink on the mysterious yellow paper seeming to glow.

It was slapped onto Xixi's back.

Then the Sect Leader's Lady laughed.

"Go!"

The words fell.

The Sect Leader's Lady took Xixi and soared straight into the wind and snow.

The wind and snow, like a curtain on the stage of heaven and earth, were pulled apart down the middle.

Jiao Shaqiu's ancient-style long robe fluttered in the wind, his beard and hair flying.

He clasped his hands behind his back, walked to the railing, and gazed at the endless white mountains.

He slowly exhaled.

Hahaha…

The old man stroked his beard, his smile beaming.

…

…

The flower of snow in heaven and earth, taking clouds as mud and wind as branches, blooms only once, drifting across ten thousand li of cold.

Qianyuan Dao City, Nei Cheng.

Wangchun Pavilion.

This is the most luxurious tavern in the inner city of Dao City; the whole structure covers a vast area, though called a single building it is actually four, the other four being towers, and only the central pavilion is truly the noble place.

Most of the noble-born who come to Qianyuan Dao City from elsewhere stay in Wangchun Pavilion.

It is heard that Wangchun Pavilion is an industry under the Dao City Lord's Manor.

Therefore, not just anyone can stay in the main building of Wangchun Pavilion.

Usually, if there are no distinguished guests, Wangchun Pavilion remains closed, opening only the four towers, which are like inns, and one can also summon talented women and dancers to liven things up.

Wangchun Pavilion Main Building.

Ninth Floor.

Curtains fluttered, the cold winter wind blowing through the hall.

Inside the pavilion.

Three figures sat upright around the round table; one wore golden armor, having removed his helmet to reveal a stern, solemn face—this was the Great General of the Western Camp of the Divine Guard Army, You Liqing.

And opposite You Liqing was Ji Heshan, the Fourth Elder of the Inner Gate of the Qianyuan Divine Sect.

And also a plump, beautiful lady in fine silks, her bearing noble—Dragon Queen Consort Ao Yuxin.

Beside the Dragon Queen Consort stood a little girl, quiet, well-behaved, and sensible.

The girl appeared to be about eight or nine years old, her black hair hanging loose, her eyelids lowered, yet whenever she lifted her eyes, a sapphire light flickered within.

At the balcony of the floor.

Two figures stood there: the Innate Grand Master Long Tai, and the Innate Grand Master–level female divine archer, Qingniao.

Both had solemn expressions, utterly cold.

Inside the house.

The charcoal brazier burned, boiling water surged in the kettle, tea fragrance filled the air, warm as spring.

Elder Ji Heshan, in his simple long robe, rolled up his sleeves, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"Not bad, excellent tea, worthy of being the top-grade Longgu tea grown in Dragon God Valley."

Ji Heshan stroked his beard and smiled.

"If Elder Ji likes it, next time I'll have the juniors of Dragon God Valley bring more." The Dragon Queen Consort's sapphire eyes flashed with light.

Ji Heshan shook his head: "Enough, a light taste will do."

His gaze fell on the little girl: "Is this the divine prodigy from Dragon God Valley that the Consort brought?"

"Ao Qingqing is my elder brother's legitimate daughter, possessing pure Dragon God blood... Originally the plan was for Haihui to obtain the inheritance of the temple deity of the Eight-Armed Hell Lotus Furious Third Prince Guiyi Miao in Jinguang Prefecture, then come to Qianyuan Dao City to participate in the personal transmission examination of the Sect Master, the Great God..."

"Unfortunately, Haihui was persecuted by villains and died."

The Consort's eyes flashed with sorrow, her breathing becoming hurried.

That was her son; how could she not feel heartbroken?

It was heart-rending, making her wish she were dead.

To have white-haired people send off black-haired ones is a great tragedy of heaven and earth!

Thus, she hates.

So she had Elder Ji bring her to visit the sect's mountain gate, where she saw that girl in the outer gate.

Her son is dead, yet this girl... how does she manage to fare so well?!

How?!

Didn't Haihui like this little girl?

Then let's capture this little girl, hold a spirit marriage! Then send her to meet Haihui, so that Haihui... won't be lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs!

"This girl's talent is not bad; Shao Qiu thinks highly of her, and she is now a disciple of the sect. If the Consort truly bears grudges, we should wait until the Sect Master's personal transmission examination ends before speaking."

Ji Heshan said.

"If this little girl truly possesses monstrous talent and becomes the Sect Master's personal transmission disciple..."

"Then let's call off the spirit marriage."

After all, Ji Heshan is still an elder of the Qianyuan Divine Sect; although he is on friendly terms with the Consort, when it involves the Sect Master, the Great God, he cannot show favoritism.

"Naturally." The Dragon Queen Consort Ao Yuxin said lightly.

Ji Heshan glanced at her, then stopped discussing these matters and began to drink and savor tea.

You Liqing had never spoken; he was always like this, usually saying nothing, and only when facing his master, Ji Moli, would he speak a bit more.

Because You Liqing admires Ji Moli.

Suddenly.

The elder Ji Heshan and the Dragon Queen Consort Ao Yuxin, who were drinking tea, slightly changed expression.

In the teacup, the tea suddenly rippled, circles spreading outward.

Huh?!

You Liqing also finally noticed, his eyes opening and closing as a powerful aura shot up to the heavens!

"Who?!"

A loud shout, charging into the firmament!

In the next moment, You Liqing donned golden armor and instantly charged out of the main hall of the Watching Spring Pavilion!

The mighty aura of the Three Flowers Grand Master surged upward, his qi and blood rolling like beacon smoke, wildly dancing between heaven and earth!

Boom—!!

It seemed as if ten-thousand-zhang thunderbolts were rolling forth from the leaden clouds!

The thunderous sonic booms intertwined densely into a vast expanse!

It seemed a halo of Xuanhuang-colored light appeared, from far to near, upon the icy firmament, leaving behind an enduring, rolling boil of aura!

You Liqing's eyes narrowed, he raised his hand and tapped his brow.

In an instant his eyes suddenly changed, bursting forth with brilliant golden light, as if an angry voice exploded across the heavens!

"Divine Seed, Fury-Eyed Heavenly King Pupil!"

He looked up.

He gazed at that cluster of selected-yellow light.

You Liqing startled, his Fury-Eyed Heavenly King Pupil suddenly constricted!

He saw the talismans……

One talisman after another, densely packed together, formed a colossal talisman cloud!

Xuanhuang talisman paper, vermilion ink!

Piled up into clouds, they tore through wind and snow!

"Talismans?"

You Liqing was stunned.

The next moment.

A sneering voice came from within the talisman cloud.

"What are you looking at? What are you glaring at?!"

The words fell!

You Liqing's hairs stood on end, the Three Flowers atop his head suddenly blossomed, his whole body seeming to turn translucent, and within his spine a divine seed was set into the Qimen.

Clenching his five fingers, he let out a long whistle and thrust a punch sideways.

However——

A talisman ignited out of thin air.

Then, a ring of golden light locked onto You Liqing's body.

Afterward, within the talisman cloud.

Someone stretched out a tiny arm, a tiny finger flicked.

In an instant——

Streaming light howled, like electric madness!

"A Fifth Elder rank Binding Immortal Divine Talisman?!"

You Liqing's hairs stood on end!

A bone-piercing chill filled his entire body!

Who the hell is this?

Upon meeting, he flung a Fifth Elder rank Binding Immortal Divine Talisman at him!

You Liqing bit his tongue tip, a drop of essence blood blazed like fire, his bones and tendons rang in unison, the divine seed within one of the Eight Qimen glowed, and his qi and blood intertwined, boiling!

A golden zhang-eight serpent spear suddenly rose from behind him with a whistle!

It seemed to transform into a ferocious flood dragon several zhang long!

Boom——!!

However!

A muffled-thunder-like sound wave exploded above the Watching Spring Pavilion, its ripples spreading outward like concentric circles.

All the falling snow within a radius of several dozen zhang was instantly shattered into white powder by the shock!

Rattle—

At the pavilion's railings.

A terrifying gale howled in, countless curtains whipped wildly, some directly torn apart by the powerful wind and waves!

Qingniao and Longtai turned pale with alarm, both fled in disarray; Longtai drew his crocodile-head axe, Qingniao took down his divine bow, and with a creak he pulled it to a full moon, nocking six arrows on the string!

Then.

They then saw a palm-sized divine talisman of a child turn into a golden light, which slammed hard onto You Liqing's forehead.

You Liqing's body instantly became like a cannonball, shooting out uncontrollably, dragging a golden light through midair.

Then it shattered the black-tiled roof of the Watching Spring Pavilion, the flying eaves broke and collapsed, crashing into the pavilion.

The Fourth Elder Jiheshān and the Dragon Queen Consort Ao Yuxin, who were drinking tea, both had their motions freeze.

They looked at the miniature divine talisman on You Liqing's forehead.

Jiheshān spat out a mouthful of tea.

His eyes narrowed, his face turned pale with shock!

"Is it her?!"

……

……

Six-Eared Prison Lotus Divine Monkey Erxin Great Sage Guiyi Miao.

Temple gate.

Gongshu Jingjun's gaze shifted, falling upon the Demonic Ape Divine Eagle held aloft in Li Che's hands.

The Divine Eagle Demonic Ape carved from Blood-Fire Divine Pattern Bodhi Wood was suffused throughout with a hue like agarwood blood‑red tiger amber.

The tadpole‑shaped Blood‑Fire Divine Patterns on it seemed like flames burning.

With Gongshu Jingjun's mighty divine sense, merely sweeping over it made him feel the Demonic Ape Divine Eagle stirring, its divinity latent yet unreleased.

It was tremendously imposing, like a World‑Chaos Demonic Ape roaring the heavens, clutching a golden staff condensed from divinity, overbearing and peerless.

Most importantly…

This World‑Chaos Demonic Ape actually gave Gongshu Jingjun a sense of familiarity.

This sense of familiarity came from the Temple‑Guarding Curse Corpse King he had just seen in the ghost mist.

That demon ape corpse king, sitting upright, dozing off with each breath.

Like! Really too alike!

Although the ghost mist prevented him from seeing the true face of that demon ape corpse king, compared to the Divine Eagle Li Che holds aloft, they are extremely similar in divine sense.

"Ah Che, have you seen the temple‑guarding corpse king of this Guiyi Miao?"

Gongshu Jingjun asked in a low voice.

Li Che blinked, what temple‑guarding corpse king?

He truly didn't understand.

Gongshu Jingjun looked at Li Che's bewildered appearance, not feigning, and gave a barely perceptible shake of his head.

"Nothing..."

"Your Divine Eagle..."

Gongshu Jingjun didn't know how to evaluate it.

Quite unconventional; in Gongshu Jingjun's eyes, he could see the rank of this Divine Eagle at a glance.

Five Elders rank!

What does this mean?

Li Che's Divine Eagle carving skill has already reached the level of a Five Elders Divine Eagle Master.

Of course, to advance to the rank of a Five Elders Divine Eagle Master, it's not enough to merely carve a Five Elders Divine Eagle.

Rather, one must use the sacred wood of the Six Offices' upper rank to carve a Five Elders Divine Eagle, and through craftsmanship let the Divine Eagle's grade undergo transformation and elevation.

Only then is one a true Five Elders Divine Eagle Master.

As for Li Che now, he can only be considered half of one.

"Not bad."

"However, your Divine Eagle is not a temple deity; in the clash of divine sense, you might suffer a great loss."

"Temple deities are proclaimed invincible among peers; in a divine sense clash, they likewise seize all advantages."

Gongshu Jingjun said.

"Moreover... your Blood‑Fire Divine Pattern..."

However, before he finished speaking, Li Che smiled: "It's no problem..."

"Just a trifle."

Subsequently, Li Che, in front of Gongshu Jingjun, took out a sixth‑rank martial pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

The medicinal pill entered his belly, its efficacy burst forth, a powerful qi and blood impact surged forth, like rushing torrents washing through Li Che's body.

Instantly, the Blood‑Fire Divine Patterns clinging to half of Li Che's body shattered and vanished.

Can it even be done like this?!

Even a well‑traveled divine fetus cultivator couldn't help but stare blankly.

They were somewhat dazed by Li Che's maneuver.

However, Gongshu Jingjun didn't dwell on it too much, merely giving Li Che a deep look—he wasn't stupid...

How could he not know the effects of a martial pill?

No wonder he's a youngster favored by Tang Sanjia, hiding plenty of things.

His strength is probably not as simple as it appears on the surface.

Without further talk, after leaving the Guiyi Miao's area, they straight passed through the ghost mist and exited the ghost fortress.

Upon exiting the ghost fortress, the divinity between heaven and earth instantly weakened by several levels.

At that moment, there was actually a feeling of emptiness in the heart.

"The divinity inside the ghost fortress is indeed rich; for divine cultivators it brings great benefit, and for martial practitioners it is also quite helpful."

"Overcoming divine power, the divine power that the Guiyi Miao seeps out is constantly helping martial practitioners temper their bodies..."

"Why, after the Guiyi Miao came into being, martial practitioners find breakthroughs easier; formerly, producing a pure martial saint was as hard as climbing to heaven, but now the era makes it much easier."

Gongshu Jingjun seemed to understand Li Che's current feeling and explained.

"Although the ghost fissure spawned by the Guiyi Miao is dangerous, to many it is regarded as a kind of anomalous blessed land recorded in ancient texts."

"Blessed land?"

Li Che raised his eyebrows, lost in thought.

After the two left the Guiyi Miao.

Li Che turned back and glanced at the Guiyi Miao standing lonely amidst the wind and snow.

The next moment, together with Gongshu Jingjun, they departed and returned to the reception hall of Divine Eagle Ridge.

The reception hall of Divine Eagle Ridge was already filled with people.

They were all the many woodcarving masters who had obtained the quota to participate in the assessment.

However, most of the woodcarving masters were just there to soy sauce, merely to enter the ghost fissure and experience a divine sense rinse; while those few woodcarving masters capable of reaching the Guiyi Miao were there to observe a Five Elders temple deity.

The one who truly carved the Divine Roc.

Just Su Huai Ming, Zhou Tian Shui, Yun Hai Yang… and Li Che, four people.

Su Huai Ming held up the Divine Roc, standing straight, beard and hair fluttering, smiles brimming.

Around, woodcarving masters were promoting and praising his performance in the Guiyi Miao.

"You all have never entered the Guiyi Miao; perhaps you are unaware, Master Su's performance truly can be called peerless……"

"As soon as this temple god Divine Roc took shape, instantly the Guiyi Miao rose a mist surge, as if the temple-guarding corpse spells and evil strange things were attracted by Master Su's Divine Roc!"

"When the ghost mist surge rises, the divinity concentration inside the Guiyi Que is at least thirty percent richer than before! We're practically suffocating!"

Each woodcarving master felt deeply moved.

Of course, there is some artistic embellishment in the talk, but such smooth-talking flattery makes Su Huai Ming very delighted.

Pleasant words, he loves to hear them.

"This time, the Divine Roc Ridge Elder examination, Master Su is assured, he will surely surpass the past!"

"Where, where, exaggerated…… the Divine Will Clash hasn't yielded results yet, now to draw such a conclusion is premature."

Su Huai Ming stroked his beard and burst into laughter.

He held up that Two-heart Great Sage Divine Roc, divine surges mighty.

In the distance.

Lu Yao pulled Tang Ren, Tang Ren couldn't stand Su Huai Ming's smug face, his teeth itched with anger.

"My Uncle Che hasn't come out yet! My Uncle Che is Xixi's dad, he will surely win!"

Lu Yao speechless: "This is the Su family's Sixth Office Upper Divine Roc Master, a first-class guest of the Qintian Supervisor! His status is extremely exalted, having studied Divine Roc Technique for over sixty years; what do you think your Uncle Che can rely on to surely win?"

"Just because he's Xixi's father!"

Tang Ren said.

Lu Yao rolled his eyes, not bothering to talk to a fanboy.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

Gongshu Jingjun brought Li Che, floating over.

The entire reception hall instantly fell silent; everyone knew the results were about to come out.

The last Divine Roc Master who carved the Divine Roc is in place; next will be the Divine Roc's Divine Will Clash……

The Divine Will Clash is very simple and brutal.

Whose Divine Roc contains stronger divine will means that this Divine Roc's rank is higher, naturally making them the victor.

And the Divine Roc Clash……

For every Divine Roc Master, it is extremely interesting.

Just like fighting crickets……

Who doesn't want to decide a winner, who doesn't want to see which big cricket can fight to the end?

Outside the reception hall.

An old man with completely white hair, trembling, walked over.

His whole body covered in layered crane skin, like walking dead wood.

"Elder Sun."

Gongshu Jingjun smiled and greeted.

"Ridge Master, my old self's Divine Roc is here……"

Elder Sun smiled; he is too old, nearing the end of his life, even though he once was an extremely powerful divine cultivator and martial artist, when life reaches its end, he will also fall into withered decay.

Li Che looked at this Elder Sun, his eyes somewhat dazed.

This is……

Is this the consequence of not achieving immortality?

In the end…… one becomes so old, reeking of decay, a despair that could at any moment fall into death.

Li Che's gaze retracted, his eyelids drooped, his heart slightly stirred.

Immortality……

Li Che's yearning for immortality suddenly rose greatly.

He must also bring his daughter, bring his wife to live forever……

Only by living forever in this world can one not be lonely.

The Divine Roc Elder Sun handed over is also a Two-heart Great Sage Divine Roc.

Obviously also obtained after entering the Guiyi Miao and observing the temple god.

Its divine rhythm is restrained, the carving exquisitely fine, every monkey hair distinct, as if the true temple god were seated and manifest.

After all, he is an old veteran who has spent long years carving Divine Rocs.

His hand skills are truly formidable.

Even Li Che couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Gongshu Jingjun received Elder Sun's Divine Roc, then looked toward the other woodcarving masters in the reception hall.

These woodcarving masters all sat in the grand master's chairs, eyes blazing.

"Enter the Guiyi Miao, observe the temple god, carve the Divine Roc finished…… next comes the Divine Roc Divine Will Clash……"

"All masters who have carved Divine Roc may take out their Divine Roc."

Gongshu Jingjun said lightly.

Su Huai Ming, Zhou Tian Shui, and Yun Hai Yang each held up their Divine Roc and walked out.

"Ridge Master, we…… will give it a try."

Su Huai Ming's mouth corners rose as he spoke confidently.

Gongshu Jingjun nodded.

"Masters, place the divine eagles you carved on the mats on the reception hall floor; beneath each mat is engraved a divine pattern array that will arouse the divine eagles' divine intent."

Several people did as instructed.

Su Huai Ming and the others, clearly not first-timers, quickly found the mats and carefully set the divine eagles upright upon them.

Li Che also found a mat.

This mat...

Is itself a divine weapon.

Li Che placed the Heaven-Embodying, Earth-Embracing Spirit-Clarity True Monkey Divine Eagle upon the mat.

Gongshu Jingjun then helped Elder Sun place his.

After placing them, each divine eagle master withdrew and sat properly in his own Grand Tutor's chair.

Gongshu Jingjun sat in the seat of honor, his expression calm.

After scanning the crowd, he lightly said: "Masters..."

"Now we commence the divine eagles' divine intent clash."

As his words fell, Gongshu Jingjun flicked his finger, a beam of divine radiance burst forth and sank into the reception hall's floor.

Instantly, beneath the reception hall's floor, as if some mechanism were loaded, rich and mighty divine essence surged up from between the tiles.

Gradually, the reception hall became shrouded in a thick divine mist.

Among the five divine eagles, divine light suddenly shone forth, the beams tearing through the divine mist!

Each woodcarving master's gaze swept over curiously.

Then, each divine eagle appeared to come alive, its eyes opening and its feathers fluttering.

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!!!

Golden light blazed, robes flying, the four Two-Heart Great Sages leapt up, clenching their fists, and golden divine staffs appeared grasped in their hands.

They faced off against each other.

Lifelike, as if the Two-Heart Great Sages had been resurrected!

The divine essence boiled, like the eager hearts of each divine eagle master!

However...

It was beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Gongshu Jingjun, seated among them, was stunned for a moment.

Then he saw, within the divine mist...

A deafening roar exploded, like the wrath of Lei Gong, heavenly thunder crashing down upon the world!

The violent howl rolled forth, its sound waves instantly striking the divine mist, forming rippling waves of diffusion!

"Roar—roar—roar—roar!!!"

The four Two-Heart Great Sages also roared, their robes flying wildly, and they thrust their golden staffs forward!

At the same time, the divine intent of the four divine eagles joined forces!

Four golden streaks within the divine mist resembled four galloping, roaring golden divine dragons, spanning east to west!

Yet the mist cleared!

A ferocious, vicious demon ape appeared, its hair flying, its thick tail whipping and striking, the air bursting with explosive cracks!

Dragging a long golden staff, it stepped out from the divine mist.

Facing the four attacking Two-Heart Great Sages, the demon ape lifted its head, a pair of eyes blazing with ultimate golden light, as if seeing through all falsehood!

"Halt!!!"

A stern shout!

Yet the demon ape had already moved; its dragged golden staff trembled on the ground and swiftly rose!

Yet seeing the demon ape already in motion, that trailing golden staff instantly trembled on the ground and shot up swiftly!

This demon ape merely performed a staff-raising motion.

As if uprooting a divine peak thrust into the clouds, carrying an overbearing will to pierce endless darkness, it slammed down fiercely!

It was as if a divine peak thrust into the clouds was being ripped from the earth, bearing the overbearing will that pierces endless darkness, and it slammed down fiercely!

The surrounding seas of divine smoke were instantly blasted away, vanishing in an instant!

Heaven and earth became clear, the jade-like firmament lucid!

The demon ape's staff strike sent the four Two-Heart Great Sages bursting back at greater speed!

The demon ape's golden eyes were utterly clear, like two flames burning in endless darkness.

A low, resonant voice rose slowly, like an ancient deity chanting, and an extremely rich divine essence coiled around the golden staff in the demon ape's hand.

The golden staff instantly turned red-hot like a branding iron, as if an azure dragon coiled around it!

"Falsehood, all is falsehood——!"

"My single staff——"

"Toward heaven!"

"Shatter all falsehood!"

Shatter all falsehood!
