Chapter 460

Regarding the Way of Mechanisms, Li Che has never given up studying it.

Although saying that pursuing a mechanism ascension in the future is somewhat exaggerated, the Way of Mechanisms is not weak in enhancing and supporting combat power.

Moreover, with the support and enhancement of the Artificer's Dao Fruit, Li Che believes the Way of Mechanisms can be raised by him to an extremely high level.

His mind withdrew from the joy of hand-rolling a nuclear bomb.

Although he had a rough idea and train of thought, achieving the firepower intensity needed to truly blast a Divine Tribulation cultivator to death required a large quantity of Divine Thunder Prison Pills.

One Divine Thunder Prison Pill would definitely not reach that intensity.

Moreover, the quantity of Divine Thunder also needed to be accumulated.

His mind shifted away from the level of the Dao Guide transformed from the Thunder Magnetic Orb Dao Fruit, and settled on the Dao Guide transformed from another Dao Fruit.

The Dao Guide transformed from the Myriad Monster Emperor Dao Fruit was the 【Yin-Yang Demon Blade】.

After a simple understanding of this Dao Guide's function, in short, this Dao Guide could be considered a divine weapon.

Clenching his five fingers, a black-and-white longsword instantly appeared in Li Che's hand, the blade riddled with pore-like holes.

Each hole could absorb monster essence blood; by devouring enough monster essence blood, the Yin-Yang Demon Blade's power could be enhanced and transformed.

"Quite strange… but monsters are inherently strange things; the Dao Fruits they spawn having some strangeness is also reasonable."

Li Che gazed at the longsword before him, its hilt resembling a scorpion's tail, and a strange hue flickered in his eyes.

Absorbing monster essence blood is quite evil.

But compared to the monster tribe's habit of eating people and consuming blood at the drop of a hat, it's mere small-time witchcraft versus great sorcery.

Moreover, this demon blade possesses an innate suppression over monsters, which yields excellent effects when slaying them.

Li Che narrowed his eyes slightly, taking the great black ox as an imagined foe; with his current strength, could he kill that great black ox?

Even wielding the demon blade, there should be no possibility at all.

Second Disaster…

The gap is still quite large.

Li Che narrowed his eyes; his qi and blood surged like rolling mist, a pressure involuntarily making his body tremble slightly.

It was a pressure he had not felt for a long time.

With his strength rising and Dao Fruits transforming, things in the mortal world that could bring pressure to Li Che have become exceedingly rare.

Threats could exist, but those capable of producing immense pressure are few.

The Grand Supervisor counts as one; Li Che has so far been unable to see through the Grand Supervisor's cultivation level.

Besides that, there is also the Second Disaster great black ox of Qitian Cheng.

As for the boss and the dog smash, Li Che felt they did not belong to the mortal world.

"Boss and dog smash… weren't they said to be opening a restaurant in Qitian Cheng?"

"Now that I've entered the city, I can go look for them; Xixi hasn't eaten the boss's cooking in a long time."

Li Che thought of the boss and the dog smash, and unconsciously smacked his lips, missing the boss's delicious dishes.

"Within the Strange Expanse, the Guiyi Miao stands tall, with countless powerful beings…"

Li Che drew a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

Compared to the mortal world, the Strange Expanse has more strong ones; Li Che knew this long ago—need not mention those mighty and mysterious divine camps; even many Divine Tribulation cultivators of the mortal world actually roam within the Strange Expanse.

Besides shielding against the mortal world's Heavenly Will tribulations, it is also because the Strange Expanse is mysterious, full of opportunities.

For Divine Tribulation cultivation, the resources they need to advance are basically absent in the mortal world—such as Dao Essence Divine Crystals, Divine Nature Crystals, etc. —which exist only in the Strange Expanse.

Consolidating the recently broken-through cultivation, the Dao Fruit transformation also completed.

Li Che stretched lazily, and his bones and joints crackled explosively throughout his body.

Yet he never relaxed even a moment; after stretching his form, his mind stirred, entering the Dao Tribulation space to begin comprehending and cultivating the Dao Tribulation.

Now Li Che has three Dao Fruits that have undergone five transformations, having comprehended three kinds of Dao Tribulation.

Specifically, the Primal Dragon-Elephant Flame, Primal Void-Slaying Storm, and Primal Heart-Cleansing Flow, which are the Primal Fire Tribulation, Wind Tribulation, and Water Tribulation!

Within the Dao Tribulation space, three terrifying tribulation forces sweep and intertwine!

Purple flames transform into dragon-elephants, crisscrossing; as they roar, even the void shatters inch by inch.

Then a fearsome storm rages, blowing and scraping, as if to obliterate one's bones and tendons, to annihilate the soul.

The water, fire, and wind tribulation forces continually intertwine.

Li Che tempered his body within the Dao Tribulation space; it could only be said he suffered and rejoiced at once.

However, mastering the power of the Dao Tribulation is indeed not easy; even Li Che cannot grasp it lightly.

Whenever his mind wavered, Li Che did not know how many times he had been obliterated by the Dao Tribulation's power, ejected from the space, only to re-enter it again.

Li Che felt his mind, in repeated cycles of extinction and recovery, became like steel tempered a hundred times, forged a thousand times—utterly resilient and indestructible.

The strengthening and fortifying of the spirit greatly aid both martial and divine cultivation.

Within the Mo City Fengdu, Li Che entered a state of cultivation.

Even though he is now very powerful, he still dares not relax in the slightest.

Because he needs greater cultivation to protect his little home.

Buzz—

Suddenly, Li Che seemed to sense something.

It was news fed back from the Heaven-Earth Chessboard left in Qitian Cheng.

Hmm?

Within Mo City Fengdu, Li Che suddenly opened his eyes.

In the depths of his eyes, a hint of solemnity flashed, along with astonishment.

The next moment, he took a step and instantly vanished from Fengdu.

The wind and rain in Mo City remained unchanged; the shattered void blasted out by the Divine Sky Prison Thunder Pill, resembling flesh and blood, slowly recovered as it writhed.

Interpretation: "The wind and rain in Mo City remained as before; the shattered void blasted out by the Divine Sky Prison Thunder Pill, as if it had flesh and blood, slowly recovered in its writhing."

We need to keep meaning. Let's produce: "The wind and rain in Mo City remained as before; the shattered void blasted out by the Divine Sky Prison Thunder Pill, as if it had flesh and blood, slowly recovered in its writhing."

Check: "the shattered void blasted out by the Divine Sky Prison Thunder Pill" = "the shattered void blasted out by the Divine Sky Prison Thunder Pill". Good.

…… (ellipsis). Should translate as "……" maybe keep as "……"? Usually translate as "……". We'll output same.

…… same.

The Wai Cheng of Qitian Cheng.

Inside the Three Open Courtyard.

A burly figure like a towering mountain wore an ox-demon mask; beside him, three figures wearing scarred masks sat cross-legged.

We need to keep "ox-demon mask" as "ox-demon mask". "scarred mask" -> "scarred mask". "sat cross-legged" -> "sat cross-legged". Good.

Four figures sat in a row in the courtyard, earnestly cultivating.

However, a white chess piece suddenly floated up, and then it seemed to be grasped by a palm.

Li Che's ink robe embroidered with golden lotus fluttered, and his whole body had already completed a spatial leap, appearing from Mo City's Fengdu in this courtyard of Qitian Cheng.

Check: "Mo City's Fengdu" = "Mo City's Fengdu". Good.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard trembled.

Outside the courtyard, the night bat demon god hanging concealed in space instantly felt its ultrasonic perception jam again.

However, it was merely a brief pause; he scanned the courtyard, saw that nothing inside had changed, and thus paid it no mind.

Li Che, wearing the ox-demon mask, completed the switch with the painting immortal's clone.

His mind connected to the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, and an image instantly appeared.

That image……

It was precisely the image from the lord's manor in the Nei Cheng of Qitian Cheng.

Terrifying demonic qi raged, turning Qitian Cheng's lord's manor into an ocean of demonic qi; were it not for the Heaven and Earth Chessboard probing a truly powerful presence, Li Che could not part the demonic qi to see the scene within.

One terrifying demon god after another, each with different appearance, mighty qi and blood, surging demonic qi, stood within the manor.

Is this a demon conclave of Qitian Cheng?

This group of demon gods, in a posture extremely surprising to Li Che, surrounded a huge round table inside the lord's manor, engaging in discussion as if holding a meeting.

Let alone, the atmosphere truly felt fully immersive.

The black ox demon god sovereign sat cross-legged in the chief seat; its mighty pressure raged and expanded from its body, and merely the diffusion of its aura suppressed many of the demon gods present.

However, his words were conveyed through the image, causing Li Che's eyes to involuntarily narrow slightly.

"Capture the Prison Lotus Maiden?"

Capture the Prison Lotus Maiden, bring her into the Hundred Thousand Great Rivers of Gui Que, and deliver her to the Gui Yao Cave faction.

Li Che never expected to hear such news.

The Prison Lotus Maiden naturally refers to Xixi; Li Che originally did not think there would be any conflict between the demon race and Xixi, yet he never imagined that this black ox demon god would target Xixi in this manner.

"So, this is a conflict among the Gui Que gods' factions, which has instead spread to the mortal world…… Is the target of this great black ox Xixi?"

Inside the room, Li Che's eyes gradually grew cold.

His sole reverse scale is his wife and daughter; his daughter is of utmost importance—anyone who moves Li Che's daughter, to him, ends up on the kill list in his little notebook.

And now, this great black ox……

Your name is already written in his little notebook; besides that, there are also those many demon gods.

"The conflict among the gods' factions seems not minor; both Black Sumeru and the Gui Yao Cave are targeting the Prison Lotus, and as Xixi is the Prison Lotus Maiden…… the target seems significant."

Li Che's brows furrowed slightly.

He naturally knows that deep within Xixi's soul lies the consciousness of the Great Xixi.

But in fact, Li Che also harbors doubt: is it a consciousness from a past life, or from the future?

Why would it appear within Xixi's soul?

Is it the same Great Xixi seen by the Dream Butterfly through his Dream Heavenly Master Dao Fruit?

Too many doubts surged like a tide, endless confusion surrounded Li Che, muddling his thoughts and making it hard for him to sort them out.

Because he has been exposed to too little.

Xixi's birth brought Li Che a bond, giving rise to countless Dao Fruits; whether it is related to that Great Xixi?

It can be said that this bond is the most important factor that enabled Li Che to rise from weakness to his present strength.

For Li Che, clarifying this bond is extremely important.

Because, even Li Che, though he continually lets his Dao Fruits metamorphose and even gives birth to a level‑7 ranked Dao Fruit,

yet deep in his heart still lingers a fear.

He does not know whether one day this bond between him and Xixi will vanish……

And if the bond disappears, the Dao Fruits he has gained will also vanish.

This is a spiritual unease, an unavoidable wandering deep within Li Che's heart.

So, will the Dao Fruits disappear?

Li Che does not know, nor does he wish to speculate, for it is unnecessary and meaningless.

Often, Li Che relies on his Dao Fruits to focus on his own cultivation; the Dao Fruits are mostly a source of aid.

Although he accomplishes many things using the divine powers and Dao leads of his Dao Fruits, Li Che has never abandoned improving his own cultivation.

After all, only when he himself is strong enough can he still wield a fist's power in this world should his Dao Fruits one day truly be lost.

The image left behind by the Heaven and Earth Chessboard slowly dissipated.

This was not a real‑time image; rather, while Li Che cultivated in Mo City, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, under the control of the World Soul, noticed this scene had worth preserving, so it left a behind.

All that can be said is that, as the Chess Saint Dao Fruit evolves to higher levels, the functions of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard also become ever stronger.

The image faded, yet Li Che's killing intent welled up involuntarily, growing ever stronger.

A tremendous pressure suddenly slammed down upon him.

After all, his daughter was seized by a second‑calamity demon god sovereign—not…… it is not merely the issue of a single demon god sovereign.

but rather it is an entire strange demon lair; when it was learned that Xixi is the daughter of the Hell Lotus, the entire divine faction set their sights on Xixi.

And the Great Black Ox Deity God Sovereign is merely a dagger that can extend from the ghostly gate, to meddle in the human world.

If the ghostly monster lair's target were him, Li Che, then Li Che wouldn't feel much pressure.

But the target is his daughter, Xixi, and an inexplicable pressure suddenly grew.

"Great Black Ox Deity God Sovereign…"

Li Che slowly closed his eyes.

The next moment, he flung his eyes open.

It seems the speed at which his cultivation grows must be accelerated; at the very least, within Qitian Cheng, he must possess the strength to contend with a Second Disaster Deity God Sovereign.

It would not do for him to be completely unable to resist when the other side acts against his daughter, Xixi.

Hum—

Li Che's gaze shifted, looking toward the void beyond the courtyard, as if he saw that night bat deity hanging upside down.

This night bat deity is a spy planted by the Great Black Ox Deity God Sovereign to keep watch on the netherworld ox demon.

"First, I'll blind your spy."

Li Che rose to his feet, killing intent flickering faintly, and in the next instant, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao fruit in his chest throbbed violently.

His whole being seemed to be completely erased from between heaven and earth, that being the Sleeping Dragon Elephant's breath-concealing technique, which fully hides his qi and blood.

Together with the isolation of the Heaven-Earth Chessboard's aura, it was as if he had utterly vanished, achieving invisibility.

Touching down with the tip of his foot, not even a crack appeared on the ground; an invisible ripple spread outward, and Li Che's whole body drifted toward outside the courtyard.

……

……

The night bat deity hung upside down in the void, leaving only an extremely fine crack; through this crack he could spread his perception from within the void to scout the target without being detected.

Because he hid within the void, his aura was completely shrouded by the void, leaving only a spatial crack as fine as a strand of hair.

Within the vast space, a single strand of hair floated; without a careful, scanning probe, it would be impossible to see anything.

An intangible, ring-like spreading perception continuously surged out from the crack.

This perception is unique, not the power of the Heaven-Earth Dao Soul, but a perception force erupted from the night bat deity's own bodily organs.

Extremely mysterious and hidden, he became a master scout. As a subordinate officer in charge of reconnaissance under the Great Black Ox Deity God Sovereign, when the inner city of Qitian Cheng opens in the future and the inheritance of Qitian Temple is activated, his responsibility will be great; he will rely on his ability to be the first to enter the Nei Cheng area to scout resources.

Dao Essence Divine Crystals, Divine Nature Crystals… these resources need no mention; the divine weapons, elixirs, secret arts, martial techniques, and divine secret arts of Qitian Temple are also of utmost importance!

He also attaches great importance to this opportunity, for… this might be his only chance in this lifetime; if he succeeds, he may have the chance to formally enter the divine camp of the ghostly monster lair and follow under a deity!

The night bat deity clearly understands the importance of his identity, so he is steady and cautious.

Moreover, the target is the mysterious netherworld; he naturally exercises extreme caution, tearing open space and hiding within the void to scout.

Suddenly.

The night bat deity felt the sky suddenly darken.

His spreading ultrasonic sense, expanding in circles without obstruction, yet inexplicably a massive feeling of suffocation came over him.

As a First Disaster, Second Calamity realm demon god, the night bat deity's vigilance is naturally extremely high.

Hum—

His round, jet-black eyes snapped open, and the bat fur all over his body stood on end.

At a glance

The bat's wings suddenly unfolded!

Because, right before his eyes, an exceedingly cute cow mask suddenly appeared!

Beneath that cow mask, his eyes were icy cold to the extreme, his killing intent utterly unmasked.

Cry——!!!

A piercing ultrasonic shriek burst instantly from the night bat deity's mouth.

His ultrasonic perception, no longer suppressed, like a storm, shattered space and surged outward at high speed, seeking to transmit throughout the entire Qitian Cheng.

He's been discovered?!

The night bat deity's heart jolted; upon being discovered, he immediately erupted with an ultrasonic blast, needing to stir up the momentum.

This netherworld ox demon had slain the Heavenly Crane demon god; his strength is formidable.

Even though the night bat deity is a First Disaster, Second Calamity realm demon god, he does not wish to clash head‑on with the ox demon, for he is a scout‑type demon god, and fighting is not his liking.

So, he directly shouted for the Deity God Sovereign to come!

Since the ox demon has discovered him and appeared before him, it means they will engage—this is a good thing!

It gives the Deity God Sovereign a reason to act!

However……

The ultrasonic shockwaves kept spreading, yet invisibly they struck some transparent wall and then bounced back.

Those ultrasonic waves, in fact, kept undulating back to strike him himself.

The night bat deity, in just an instant, was struck by his own ultrasonic impact, leaving him somewhat dizzy and disoriented!

Damn it……

This netherworld ox demon has tampered with the surrounding space!

How uncomfortable……

His perception is too keen, and he was inadvertently wounded by his own ultrasonic waves.

However, the night bat deity is also decisive; the moment he senses something amiss, he flaps his wings and seeks to shatter space and flee.

A mighty demonic aura surged skyward, and the calamity wheel instantly appeared—the Witch Demon Calamity Wheel!

Boom—

Space shattered inch by inch.

But, the Night Bat Demon God suddenly sensed countless extremely thick black chains, unknown where they emerged from wrapping out, actually binding his hands and feet.

The bat wings flapped violently, the power of One Disaster Two Calamities exploded fully, those chains almost snapped from his pulling.

However, the Underworld Ox Demon appeared before a chain at some unknown moment.

Clatter—

With a big hand sweep, he grabbed the pitch-black chains together with his elbow.

Terrifying power erupted from his body.

Boom—

The Night Bat Demon God flapping its wings only felt an irresistible force suddenly erupt from the ox demon's body.

The Night Bat Demon God's body was then violently pulled into a pitch-black city.

The Night Bat Demon God felt extreme unease, ultrasonic waves continuously impacting outward.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz—

However, there was no response, not even a bit of response.

This area, clearly within Qitian Cheng, was completely isolated by an invisible force!

Black Ox Demon God Sovereign…… simply could not know his situation!

A desperate and shrill scream.

The darkness-loving Night Bat Demon God was swallowed by darkness.

…

…

City Lord's Mansion.

Black Ox Demon God Sovereign sat upright at the main seat of the round table, rolling demonic aura intertwined like a curtain around him, making his figure appear very blurry.

Upon the huge ox head, his eyes gleamed brightly.

His perception swept over the skies of Qitian Cheng, sensing the situation of the three city gate areas.

"It's clearly divided: the experts of Western Buddhist Lands attack the South Gate, the cultivators of Witch God Mountain attack the North Gate, while the experts of the Dàjǐng Court and the numerous divine sects and ancient clans within Dàjǐng attack the West Gate……"

"Humans, indeed are a force hard to unite; if only they were as united as my demon race, although the demon race has strict hierarchy, it is precisely because of this strict hierarchy that the demon race is united; as long as this sovereign gives an order, saying one and meaning two, no one dares to rebel, no demon dares to stab in the back!"

Black Ox Demon God Sovereign gave a faint smile.

He believed that before such a united demon race, the future of the mortal world would certainly belong to the demon race, the whole world's stage would belong to the demon race!

Night Bat had sent no news from that side; Night Bat, for caution, would send him a report on the Underworld Ox Demon's situation every three incense sticks.

Not yet having reached three incense sticks, the Black Ox Demon God Sovereign also paid no mind, continuing to watch the battle situation of human experts challenging and storming Qitian Cheng at the three great city gates.

But for unknown reasons, the Black Ox Demon God Sovereign inexplicably felt somewhat uneasy.

He also did not know where this unease came from.

…

…

Ink City Fengdu.

Countless ink rain exploded loudly.

Clatter clatter—

That was the sound of chains being forcibly pulled and exploding, followed by what seemed like a sonic boom resonating.

A figure, like a cannonball, was forcibly pulled down from the clouds above Ink City.

Thud—!

Li Che wore the Bull Demon mask, his body suddenly bulging, every inch of his muscles and bones seeming like twisted steel rebar, intertwined like a dough twist.

The terrifying power seemed to possess an impact capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Thud!

Li Che slammed down at high speed, and the ground of Ink City was suddenly blasted open into an enormous pit!

Yet Li Che had four chains tightly clamped under his arms.

The other end of the chains was pulled taut straight, connecting to the heavens; it turned out to be linked to the night bat demon god above the firmament.

A colossal cat-headed bat, enormous, its spread bat wings spanning a hundred zhang wide, enough to blot out the sky and sun!

Thick, rolling demonic qi surged up to the heavens; the powerful demon god of the One Disaster Two Tribulations realm, at this moment, was struggling violently.

The terrifying power kept erupting, as if space itself were bursting open, countless cracks crisscrossing everywhere!

Flying sand and rolling stones, the buildings and ground within the city were instantly cut and torn apart.

「Underworld Bull Demon——!!! 」

A sharp cry burst forth.

The shockwave spread wildly, rippling through the alleys of Ink City, causing many walls to blast apart with a roar.

Even Li Che, wearing the Bull Demon mask, couldn't help but slightly furrow his brow.

He felt his head slightly swollen, as if it were about to burst.

Clatter——

He released his arms, and the countless chains instantly snapped apart inch by inch!

They exploded into ink mist that scattered across the firmament.

The night bat demon god was both angry and furious!

Li Che, however, had no intention of chatting idly with the night bat demon god.

After all, he had to slay a One Disaster Two Tribulations demon god right under the nose of the Black Ox Demon God, and he needed a quick battle.

Because, through the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, Li Che knew that this night bat demon god would, every three incense sticks' time, report to the Black Ox Demon God about the Bull Demon's situation.

If more than three incense sticks' time passes without a report, the Black Ox Demon God Sovereign will surely sense something amiss.

Now, two incense sticks' time have passed, leaving one incense stick's time; Li Che must quickly deal with this Night Bat Demon God and complete the god-seizing.

He flicked his finger.

A black chess piece, flying at high speed, rushed toward the huge Night Bat Demon God flapping in midair.

The chess piece exploded violently in midair.

Rolling black mist surged up, like terrifying waves exploding from a vast sea!

The next moment.

A mighty and vast demonic aura surged out wildly, and a pressure that made the Night Bat Demon God's heart pound crashed down heavily.

A demon god of the One Disaster Three Tribulations realm!

Overturning Sea Nine Infants!

Swinging nine heads, among them two dragon heads, one crane head, and one leopard head!

Upon seeing the crane and leopard heads, the Night Bat Demon God felt as if his breath would freeze.

"Heaven Crane Demon God?!"

The Heaven Crane Demon God was actually fused into this terrifying demon god's body?!

What kind of evil sorcery is this?!

Involving the Underworld, it is actually such a vicious demonic sect?!

The Night Bat Demon God's hairs stood on end; the mortal danger unleashed unprecedented power, he flapped his wings, and the Disaster-Tribulation Wheel was employed to its fullest!

"Cry——!!!"

The Night Bat Demon God's hairs stood on end, but at this moment he had only one thought.

Delay!

Hold back time!

Only one incense stick's time remains; as long as we hold back...

If the Black Ox Demon God Sovereign does not receive his report, he will clearly know something has happened to him!

He will surely go to the courtyard where the Ox Demon resides to investigate.

At that point, he might be saved!

Hold on!

One demon god of the One Disaster Three Tribulations realm...

Very powerful, very strange...

But if he can delay for one incense stick's time, it should be possible!

Boom——!!!

A terrifying aura erupted explosively—it was golden qi and blood, like a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth!

The Underworld Ox Demon stepped down, like a divine mountain rising from the earth, as myriad mystical god-seeds surfaced and exploded with a boom, qi and blood surging like an endless ocean, shattering the divine mountain.

Causing the divine mountain to shatter like a seal and crash down!

Seizing every moment!

Killing intent erupts!

……

……

Between heaven and earth, it seemed as if an incense stick was quietly burning.

As if life were counting down.

The Night Bat Demon God went bang, continuously spewing blood, countless blood spraying, his enormous demonic body seeming about to be blown apart.

The One Disaster Three Tribulations Overturning Sea Nine Infants is too powerful; the Night Bat Demon God, merely defending, has exhausted all his strength.

But hold on, delay...

Just one incense stick!

As long as we hold out for one incense stick!

……

……

In Qitian Cheng.

The Black Ox Demon God Sovereign inexplicably felt a sense of unease—this was his unique demon soul intuition!

This intuition grew stronger, the unease deepening.

But he could not analyze where this unease came from.

Could it be from the demon gods guarding the three city gates?

Or perhaps another demon god has appeared, meeting the same fate as the Heaven Crane Demon God, beaten to death?

But that shouldn't happen; the Black Ox Demon God Sovereign had specifically warned those demon gods that if they were outmatched, they should surrender immediately, and as long as they chose to admit defeat and surrender, he would act at once.

"So... where exactly does this unease come from?"

Suddenly.

The Black Ox Demon God Sovereign narrowed his eyes.

"Night Bat Demon God!"

The Black Ox Demon God Sovereign sprang to his feet.

Boom——

A vast demonic aura surged suddenly, as if even the void were about to rupture.

The time for three incense sticks……

It's almost here!

Night Bat……

The unease grew stronger and stronger; the Black Ox Demon God Sovereign moved his body, and terrifying demonic aura exploded within the city.

In an instant it turned into a straight black torrent.

Appeared before the Ox Demon Courtyard.

His mighty demon soul swept over, discovering that inside the courtyard, the Ox Demon Niu Yi, Niu Er, and the other Underworld fiends sat quietly, cultivating.

He appeared at the hidden location of the Night Bat.

There, a rift split open in space.

Slowly, the rift grew larger and larger.

Revealing the smiling face of the Night Bat Demon God.

"Your Venerable, why have you come?"

"The time for three incense sticks has just arrived; your subordinate was just about to report to you."
