Chapter 473: The War God Among the Divine Weapons and Myriad Immortals Unsealed, the Hunyuan Wish-Fulfilling Golden Hoop Staff Acknow

Death qi seeped out in a steady stream, like a deep, rich fragrance, wandering out from the coffin.

The black prison lotus pattern on the stone coffin seemed to have revived, constantly unfurling and trembling.

Li Che's head burned with primordial dragon-elephant flame; his eyes held an indescribable disappointment as he gazed at the Great Sage's remains lying in the stone coffin, and he let out a soft sigh.

Li Che removed the Equal to Heaven mask he wore and pressed it against the Great Sage's remains, but the scene he imagined of the Great Sage reviving from death did not occur.

Death still seemed to be the main theme; no vitality was born.

It was like covering a rotten piece with a mask—still just a rotten piece, unable to burst forth with vitality or achieve revival.

Great Sage……has he truly fallen?

Li Che's heart stirred slightly; then the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit trembled faintly, and a clear stream of Immaculate Heart divinity, guided by him, flowed out and entered the Great Sage's remains in the stone coffin.

He wanted to try and see if the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit could elicit any response.

He intended to use his method to see if he could let the Great Sage revive.

After he finished transmitting the Immaculate Heart divinity, Li Che made no further moves and simply watched silently.

In Li Che's golden skull pupils, his gaze flashed with golden light, continually fixed on the coffin.

Yet the coffin remained utterly still.

Revival……seemed indefinitely distant.

Li Che lightly shook his head, rose from beside the stone coffin, his eyes' regret unhidden, and for some unknown reason a hint of sorrow appeared in his heart.

He pressed the stone coffin lid shut with his five fingers, resealing the originally opened coffin.

As for the Equal to Heaven mask, Li Che did not retrieve it either, since it originally belonged to Equal to Heaven, and so he buried it together.

Boom——!!!

A terrifying aura erupted explosively.

In the distance, the Cicada Pattern Ascetic Monk, Zhang Wuji, the Former Emperor of Dàjǐng, and other powerful figures all rushed over.

Although the Black Ox Demon God Sovereign and the Overturning Sea Nine Infants had revived anew, facing those who wielded divine weapons and fully revealed their foundations, they were still somewhat inadequate.

After the stone coffin was opened and they saw the true Equal to Heaven corpse, these people could no longer remain seated.

Once they confirmed the Equal to Heaven remains, they each had their own calculations in mind.

They must contend for the Equal to Heaven remains; a divine relic's significance differs greatly, and for them it also qualified them to ascend to a higher position.

Just as the Black Ox Demon God Sovereign's original aim was to obtain the Equal to Heaven remains and deliver them to the Strange Demon Cave, so that the Great Black Ox could gain status elevation there and receive the gods' favor.

For the Cicada Pattern Ascetic Monk, the Former Emperor of Dàjǐng, and other powerful figures backed by the divine legion, the same principle applied.

Rumble——

The aura of the Two Disaster Divine Tribulation Venerable surged forth in rolling waves!

The divine weapons burst forth with immeasurable power, as if fully unleashed by them; though these weapons were not the Three Pure Divine Arms, they nonetheless possessed unimaginable might.

Although merely the Four Divine Guard Arms, they erupted with terrifying divine aura, like a surging ocean seeking to pierce heaven and earth, divine light stretching myriad zhang, annihilating all!

"Is this the Four Divine Guard Arms?"

Li Che's eyes involuntarily flashed with an unusual hue.

No, one should say……

In the mortal realm and in the Guile Void, the power of the Four Divine Guard Arms underwent a complete transformation.

In the mortal world, the power of these divine weapons born from the Guiyi Miao is greatly limited, just as divine tribulations cannot easily act in the mortal realm.

Within the Four Divine Guard Arms lies the breath and will of divinities; if one can unleash that contained divine breath and will, they can erupt with terrifyingly extreme power!

And now, the Cicada Pattern Ascetic Monk and others have unleashed the divine weapons in their hands!

The divine weapons shone with myriad splendid radiance, dazzlingly extreme, like the Nine Heavens Milky Way pouring down, rosy clouds scattering in all directions, divine light entwining, causing the entire Equal to Heaven Guiyi Miao to seem shrouded in divine aura.

Bang——

The Black Ox Demon God Sovereign was again struck, cracking open, unable to withstand it; the revived Four Divine Guard Arms' erupting force was terrifying enough to crush him, his blood flowing like a great river.

The Overturning Sea Nine Infants likewise suffered another shattering blow.

Five figures wielding fully unleashed mythic weapons stepped forward, advancing toward the coffin to kill.

Gu Yin Xuan's poison pellets kept erupting, yet the ascetic monk's Golden Cicada Illusory Shadow seemed to heavenly counter his toxin, automatically emanating an attractive force that drew in and swallowed all the poison.

Rumble——

"We need to speed up!"

"The supreme foundations can barely hold back that Guard Temple Curse Corpse King!"

The Cicada Pattern Ascetic Monk did not entangle much with Gu Yin Xuan; he was merely a cultivator of the One Disaster Three Tribulation realm, his influence negligible.

Though his poison was somewhat vicious, he possessed the Golden Cicada Method, capable of dispelling all poisons under heaven!

Rumble——

Above Equal to Heaven Nei Cheng, corpse qi roiled, like one flood dragon after another from myth, lifting their heads from the strange mist, resembling an azure dragon probing forth.

Moreover, many supreme foundations burst forth with divine rosy light, intertwining within the strange mist; the terrifying supreme aura and pressure, like descending clouds, crashed down upon the city, imposing on everyone an unbearable might.

The terrifying methods of the Three Disaster Divine Tribulation Supremes were simply horrifying!

And the supreme aura grew ever clearer, signifying that the Guard Temple Curse Corpse King would soon slay his way back into Equal to Heaven Nei Cheng, perhaps because he sensed the coffin had been opened!

The movements of the Guard Temple Curse Corpse King grew more frightful, with a maniacal feel, seeking to slay all who coveted those guarding the Equal to Heaven remains!

But the major powers had come prepared; they clearly anticipated the Guard Temple Curse Corpse King's strength, so they readied supreme foundations to restrain him.

The Guard Temple Curse Corpse King could not easily break the limits of those supreme foundations.

Yet, as the Guard Temple Curse Corpse King went mad, many supreme foundations faintly showed a tendency to be blown apart.

Within the Equal to Heaven Temple.

The atmosphere grew ever more grim, time becoming extremely tight.

Boom——

The five figures unleashed the Four Divine Guardians' divine weapons, which had been unsealed, and madly charged toward the stone coffin, again blasting and slaughtering the Black Ox Demon God Sovereign and the Overturning Sea Nine Infants.

Five figures shot out like streaks of flowing light, crossing a thousand zhang in an instant!

Purple flames burned atop Li Che's head; within his golden skull, his pupils flowed with a golden-smoke-like luster, and faintly a battle intent surged forth.

That was battle intent transformed from loss.

"Underworld Ghost Emperor, step aside…… You alone cannot stop us; moreover, we still hold the unsealed divine weapons in our hands……"

"The divine spirit aura within the divine weapons, unleashed by our unsealing, makes you no match for us."

The sect leader of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, Wuji, spoke.

His Daoist robe fluttered, and a hint of strange color appeared in his eyes.

Behind the Underworld…… it can now be confirmed.

It must be the Prison Lotus camp!

I never expected that, in this era, I had thought the Prison Lotus camp was doomed, but it seems they also have preparations.

This Underworld, in the mortal realm, has stirred up tremendous waves, causing all sides to dread and be shocked.

Boom—

"Kill this person, the corpse of the Equal Heaven, then you and I will each rely on our own abilities!"

The Cicada-pattern ascetic monk held the golden bowl, speaking in a deep voice.

Immediately, he stepped forward fiercely; countless air waves were cleared, and on his body, the power of the Two Disasters' calamity rose like two golden Buddhist light dragons, coiling and roaring.

The aura of the Two Disasters Divine Tribulation Sovereign erupted, pressing toward the Underworld Ghost Emperor.

Li Che's black robe fluttered, purple flames surging upward; facing the Cicada-pattern ascetic monk's pressure, he did not retreat in the slightest.

The ascetic monk merely tested with pressure first; now it seems the Ghost Emperor can ignore his pressure, meaning he too is likely a powerhouse of the Two Disasters Divine Tribulation Sovereign level.

For a moment, the ascetic monk couldn't help but furrow his brow.

I never expected that within the Prison Lotus camp there would actually be so many Two Disasters realm powerhouses.

You must know, the Prison Lotus camp basically had no preparations in the mortal realm; it should be said they simply didn't have time to prepare.

Compared to many divine factions that support forces in the mortal realm, the Prison Lotus camp's deities haven't even recovered, so naturally they cannot lend support.

"Roar——!!!"

A ferocious roar echoed forth.

The Black Ox Demon God Sovereign and the Overturning Sea Nine Infants reappeared, roaring as they swept outward to slaughter.

Zhang Wují, the female Guanyin, and the Witch God Priest, among others, furrowed their brows and successively attacked.

In their eyes also flashed a hint of troublesome color.

Undead beings?

Having been blown up twice by them, they still regenerate; each rebirth is vigorous and lively, with surging battle intent.

Just what method is this?

The cicada patterns on the ascetic monk's face burned like divine fire, as if a golden cicada suddenly unfurled its wings.

He gripped his monk's staff and fiercely struck the golden bowl.

Thud——!!!

A violent explosion rang out; the golden bowl instantly produced billions of tremors, and the ascetic monk hurled it forth, smashing straight into the Underworld Ghost Emperor!

The golden bowl came crashing down, vast Buddhist light shining, and a divine spirit aura seemed to revive within the golden bowl!

Extremely terrifying, it covered heaven and earth, surging forward!

"The divine weapons are unsealed……"

Li Che's eyes involuntarily flashed a strange hue.

As it turns out……

Can the Four Divine Guardians' divine weapons, within the mysterious gate, unlock restrictions? Activate the divine spirit aura within?

This was something Li Che had never imagined before.

If that is the case……

Beneath Li Che's golden bones, his pupils suddenly became intensely bright!

Taking a step forward, towering golden pure martial qi and blood surged up his body, as if transforming into an immense golden azure dragon!

Li Che's entire frame resonated; his golden blood and golden bones violently trembled, his spine rising like a great dragon, his eyes blazing intertwined, purple and gold swirling like a dreamy illusion!

"Do you also deserve to covet the remains of the Great Sage?"

"Scram!"

Beneath Li Che's primordial dragon-elephant flame, his golden-boned eyes seemed to have a miniature blazing sun rolling and burning!

With a long whistle, blade aura suddenly clanged forth in Li Che's left hand!

The three-pronged two-edged blade instantly burst forth with azure divine light, howling out, landing in Li Che's hand; the moment his five fingers gripped it, the blade light surged forth fiercely!

Endless blade light instantly transformed into a rolling torrent!

It collided with the golden bowl that loomed like a house!

Terrifying blade aura clanged against it!

Li Che's eyes slightly narrowed; the wisp of divine spirit aura leaking from the golden bowl caused his blade aura to completely dissipate!

Clang—

Behind him, the Dragon-Elephant Crucible appeared; five divine seeds and three immortal seeds all detonated!

Qi and blood burst like a breached river, fully released, rising steadily!

The martial immortal Dao essence and his flesh overlapped as if one.

His five fingers fiercely gripped the three-pronged two-edged blade; the blade continually clanged, as if a terrifying will sought to burst forth from within the blade.

Li Che's mind raced, thinking about how to trigger the divine spirit aura within this divine weapon.

In other words, the divine weapon unsealing spoken of by Zhang Wují.

If the divine weapon completes its unsealing, releasing surging divine spirit aura, its power can be greatly enhanced.

For example, right now, the golden bowl offered by this cicada-pattern ascetic monk before me, divine spirit aura pours out from it, as if it could collapse the space.

"Heh… you also want to unseal the divine weapon? Using divine spirit aura to fight?"

"Too bad, you seem unable to do it."

The ascetic monk's eyes flowed like cicada-pattern flames; with a point of his monk's staff, countless staff shadows overlapped, like a peacock spreading its tail, he fiercely struck toward Li Che.

He had already determined that the netherworld likely had not received the inheritance of the Prison Lotus; although the Prison Lotus might stand behind it, the Prison Lotus faction perhaps gave little support to the netherworld.

Otherwise… it would be impossible for him to fail at unsealing the divine weapon!

"Kill!"

The ascetic monk no longer held back, violently stimulating the divine spirit aura within the golden bowl.

Golden Buddhist light seemed to weave the true meaning of the Dao, entwining divine power and calamitous force, sweeping across the sky and earth as it bore down on Li Che.

Within Li Che's golden skull, covered by the primordial dragon-elephant flame, the opening and closing of his brow seemed to host a substantive eye, from which golden light burst forth!

How to unseal the divine weapon?

Li Che indeed did not understand…

But he would watch!

Scanning toward the golden bowl, its golden light blazed, as if it would make the Star-Plucking Pupil drip blood tears.

It seemed as if, from within that golden bowl, he glimpsed a golden-bodied Buddha seated upright, face full of a simple smile.

Upon it were intertwined divine power and calamitous force…

Stimulating the divine vortices on the divine weapon, each resembling human body apertures.

Star-Plucking Pupil!

Myriad analyses without end, peering into the void to return to truth.

At this moment, the divine ability of this 【Immortal Craft】 Dao fruit was pushed to the extreme by Li Che!

"So… this is the unsealing of the divine weapon?"

Li Che seemed lost in thought.

He suddenly understood.

Looking at the divine weapon, he seemed to see the human body's eight extraordinary gates…

Each of those vortices of divine power and calamitous force resembled the locks on the human body's extraordinary gates.

Unlocking those locks allows qi and blood and strength to climb!

"So that's how it is…"

"I've understood!"

His powerful comprehension ability made Li Che's heart itch to try at once.

Li Che gripped the three-pronged two-edged blade; this divine weapon was obtained within the Guiyi Miao of the Three-Eyed Manifest Sage True Lord.

It is the divine weapon of the temple deity of the Marvelous Dao Manifest Sage True Lord!

However, although Li Che had some insight and vaguely knew how to unseal the divine weapon, he had not yet attempted it; following his past habit, he would likely find an opportunity in Mo City Fengdu, undergo several attempts, succeed, and then use it against enemies.

But now, there is no time for him to try slowly.

If that is the case…

Then let's go straight ahead!

Li Che's mighty qi and blood surged out, frenziedly flowing into the three-pronged two-edged blade.

Under the observation of the Star-Plucking Pupil, he quickly sensed where the qi and blood and divine power formed vortices.

Boom—!!!

All divine power, qi and blood, and calamitous force, along with the calamitous wind's primordial void-slashing blast, rushed into that vortex!

Hum—!!!

A tremor shook Li Che's three-pronged two-edged blade in his hand, causing it to violently shudder; the blade seemed to burst forth billions of blade vibrations in an instant.

Li Che inexplicably felt a mighty divine might surge forth! Vaguely, countless sword qi erupted from the three-pronged two-edged blade, gradually gathering above the divine weapon into a phantom of sword qi!

Three eyes of light opened and closed; the three-pronged two-edged blade was surrounded by a haze, as if sword qi that could cover the sky turned into swirling mist, resembling a faintly visible spirit, seated upon the immortal terrace, with countless plum blossoms fluttering behind, eyes cold and ruthless, battle intent blazing like fire, as if the sovereign of battle, an immortal king! The supreme war god among immortals!

Ding—!!!

The golden bowl emitted a trembling hum, being swept by the sword qi, fiercely hacked and slashed!

The divine spirit auras of the two divine weapons, after their unsealing, spread like sinking incense, turbulent and expansive, colliding with each other.

The golden bowl was instantly flung away, its divine spirit aura becoming much dimmer at this moment.

"This divine weapon…"

The cicada-pattern ascetic monk's heart jolted.

Gazing at that three-pronged two-edged blade, his heart could not help but be shocked; as fellow four-regent divine weapons, the collision of their divine spirit auras…

The outcome was instantly decided!

Of course, what shocked the ascetic monk even more was that the netherworld's ghost emperor could actually master the divine weapon unsealing method so quickly!

He clearly understood nothing before, yet in such a brief time, the opponent had already seen through the unsealing method!

Li Che's heart felt exceedingly exhilarated!

No wonder he is the Marvelous Dao Manifest Sage Three-Eyed True Lord—truly formidable!

Please... you.... collect_(!)

The cicada-pattern ascetic monk, unwilling to believe, intertwined his hands, casting a seal that mixed the Dao's profound truth, calamitous force, and divine power, which surged into the golden bowl.

It caused the golden bowl to attack again!

Divine spirit aura burst forth, magnificently splendid, as space shattered inch by inch!

Li Che used the same method, following the pattern, unsealing the three-pronged double-edged blade, and a surging divine spirit aura poured out.

It seemed as if a handsome divine spirit wielding the three-pronged double-edged blade slashed out a terrifying blade light, its fighting spirit surging, battling and slaying the Buddha in the void.

On the other side, the former emperor of Dàjǐng narrowed his eyes, and the flag spear in his hand was also thrust forth, likewise releasing a profound and overbearing divine spirit aura that surged forward!

Dang—dang—dang—dang——

The sound of collision echoed endlessly, as if an ancient bell were being struck repeatedly, as if trying to awaken the sleeping.

Divine weapons collided in the air above the Equal Heaven Temple, each blocking the other.

It was as if the intense collisions were happening together, and the divine spirit aura hidden within the divine weapons, released upon unsealing, clashed against each other!

The divine spirit aura of the Marvelous Dao Revealing Holy Three-Eyed True Lord within the three-pronged double-edged blade actually matched the auras of several divine weapons single-handedly!

Truly overbearing and strong, it unexpectedly gave Li Che some pleasant surprises.

"Kill!"

"Without relying on divine weapons, we can still suppress this person!"

"His aura is weak; suppress him quickly! The Great Sage's relics in the stone coffin, and that Primordial Like-Intent Golden Hoop Staff, will be divided up after we subdue him!"

……

Within the Equal Heaven Temple, one sound after another exploded.

The Black Ox Demon God Venerable and the Overturning Sea Nine Infants were blown up again, and each time they were blown up, the distance they could block would shrink greatly, unable to pose any threat to the opponent.

The five Two Disaster God Tribulation Venerables stepped closer and closer to the sarcophagus!

Purple flames blazed fiercely, Li Che's eyes flickered dimly, as if he could no longer stall; the five Two Disaster God Tribulation Venerables came with overwhelming force, bound to succeed.

Their preparations were truly too thorough!

The supreme foundation entangled the temple-guarding corpse king, and they also prepared the power of the unsealed divine weapons, using divine spirit aura to overwhelm everything.

If it weren't for the Black Ox Demon God Venerable being schemed by Li Che, resolved and slain, transformed into a binding god and becoming an aid, the difficulty of resisting would have been even greater!

With a thought, Li Che had the Black Ox Demon God Venerable and the Overturning Sea Nine Infants continue to block the five with a fearless, death-defying stance.

He himself then rushed toward the sarcophagus again, his five fingers spread wide and slapped it, intending to pick up the sarcophagus and store it in the Qiankun space and the Mo City Fengdu.

However……

Li Che's heart sank slightly; the sarcophagus simply could not be picked up, whether it was the Qiankun space or transferring it to Mo City Fengdu, Li Che couldn't do it.

"How could this be……"

Li Che's brows furrowed slightly.

How could he not be able to store it inside Mo City Fengdu?

This was the first time Li Che had encountered being unable to transfer something into Mo City; it truly exceeded his expectations, startling him greatly.

Boom——!!!

The Black Ox Demon God Venerable and the Overturning Sea Nine Infants exploded again.

This time, before they could even return, the five powerhouses had already closed in on Li Che, appearing within ten zhang of the sarcophagus.

"The netherworld can't stop us!"

"Netherworld Ghost Emperor, you're neither a descendant of the Qitian Temple nor of the Fang family, so why must you desperately block us?"

"If you want to die, we'll grant you that wish."

"Kill you, then take the Qitian remains!"

……

……

The primal dragon-elephant flames blazed fiercely.

Li Che let out a light sigh; he had already given his all, but the experts of all factions had prepared too thoroughly.

His heart sank slightly, and he couldn't help feeling that all the divine factions were targeting and wary of the Hell Lotus.

And Xixi, now as the daughter of the Hell Lotus, is obviously important; she will inevitably be targeted by all the divine factions in the future, perhaps just as they targeted the Qitian remains today.

"Perhaps…… we need to plan carefully."

A cold look appeared in Li Che's eyes.

Boom——!!!

Five immensely powerful auras crushed the void as they came; the five Two Disaster God Tribulation Venerables were like gods and demons.

Li Che's gaze swept over them coldly.

His mind stirred.

The heavenly earth chessboard swirled and unfolded; in the next instant, clenching his five fingers, Li Che's whole body shifted and vanished before the sarcophagus.

Reappearing, he was already before that Primordial Unity Wish-Fulfilling Golden Hooped Staff.

This treasure staff stood deep within the Qitian Temple, right beside the altar, extraordinarily thick, as if it had broken out of the Guiyi Miao and shot up into the heavens.

Li Che gave up on the sarcophagus; he had already done his utmost, with a clear conscience.

He would not sacrifice his life to protect anything.

Give it your all; do what you can, and if you can't… preserving your life is most important.

He, Li Che, knows himself very well; perhaps Qitian holds great significance for him.

Even the myth overlapping two lifetimes holds secrets that make him want to explore with everything he has.

But……

Li Che still has someone more important to protect.

His wife and daughter!

Since it was impossible to send the stone coffin into the Fengdu of Mo City, I could only come before the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff and try to take it.

Of the two, one must always be protected.

His five fingers spread wide and he fiercely slapped the divine weapon of the Three Pure Ones rank.

Boom—

In his left arm, the collected Following-Heart Gold-Iron Divine Rod, at this moment, violently trembled, shot up into the sky, as if melting instantly into a pool of golden water.

The golden water twisted in midair, then turned into a burst of golden light that shot out, wildly striking the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff.

Li Che was slightly stunned.

Soon after, he heard the sound of a heartbeat.

That sound actually came from within the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff, vibrating and resonating.

It seemed… the return of the Following-Heart Gold-Iron Divine Rod had become the heart of this treasure staff.

Hum—

Countless splendid golden lights burst forth, and in the next moment, the entire Guiyi Miao trembled.

This caused the five powerful ones standing before the stone coffin to be slightly startled, turning their heads to look.

Then, they saw the Netherworld Ghost Emperor, his five fingers slapping onto the immensely thick Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff, while that Three Pure Ones divine weapon, a treasure staff as thick as a pillar, emitted tremors, shedding countless specks of dust and rippling void wrinkles that kept expanding!

The thick treasure staff shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, it turned into a slender treasure staff.

Both ends of the staff were gilded, the middle seemed forged from red gold, crystal clear and translucent, with ancient characters scattered along it, emitting a radiant golden light!

Primordial Chaos Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff!

Whoosh—

Li Che easily grasped the treasure staff with his five fingers, encountering no resistance.

A surge of heat flowed from within the staff, and the clear heartbeat sound was like a thunderclap.

Is it really this easy?

This divine weapon of the Three Pure Ones rank actually fell into his hands this easily…?

Is it because of the temple god's resonance?

Or perhaps because of the Following-Heart Gold-Iron Divine Rod?!

Li Che had thought there would be some trouble!

It was nothing short of a pleasant surprise!

Even, not only Li Che was surprised, but the five Two-Disaster God-Tribulation Venerables far away were also greatly astonished.

The reason they did not first go to contend for the Three Pure Ones divine weapon was because they knew how difficult it was to obtain it.

As a result, this Three Pure Ones divine weapon was so easily taken by the Netherworld Ghost Emperor?!

As long as you reach out and pull…

Can you pull it out?

Is there something wrong with this Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff, or is there something wrong with the Netherworld Ghost Emperor?!

Suddenly.

Zhang Wují's Daoist robe fluttered, he looked somewhat blankly at the stone coffin that had opened a crack.

"Who pushed open the coffin?"

Zhang Wují asked in a deep voice.

"What?"

The Cicada-Pattern Ascetic Monk, the former emperor of Dàjǐng, and the others were all taken aback.

Everyone's heart gave a "thud".

The five withdrew their hearts and gazes from the Netherworld Ghost Emperor who was gripping the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff from afar.

Their eyes fell upon the coffin.

The stone coffin engraved with prison-lotus patterns opened a crack.

Under everyone's gaze…

That stone coffin which had opened a crack, in fact, under the watchful eyes of the five…

Quietly shifted open another crack.

The crack widened a bit more!

The stone coffin… opened itself?!

How could it possibly open by itself?

In other words, the existence inside the coffin pushed it open!

The coffin opened by the remains of Qitian?!

A strong chill, like icy water spread across a snowy sky, instantly spread from the five people!

It almost completely froze them!

Zhang Wují clenched his five fingers, the silver refinement returned, landing in his hand; his facial muscles twitched, a sense of fear instantly spread from deep within his heart.

Without hesitation, his whole body turned into a silver light, retreating at high speed, continuously bursting backward!

"Qitian… resurrected?!"

That shout.

Even Li Che, who was immersed in just having harvested the Qitian Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff, was shocked.

He couldn't help but immediately turn his head, his eyes flashing with strange colors!

At the same time, the heartbeat sound coming from the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff in his hand grew increasingly violent, like thunder, traveling along the staff into Li Che's body, exploding in his ears like a booming thunderclap!

The treasure staff began to tremble involuntarily.

Whoosh—

Li Che loosened his five fingers, and the treasure staff shot out from the center of his palm.

It turned into a golden light and shot forward.

It shot up above the stone coffin!

It went straight through the gap opened in the stone coffin.

It stood upright inside.

Buzz—

The staff, interwoven with gilded, crimson, and golden light, trembled incessantly, layer upon layer, leaving lingering afterimages.

It seemed as if the upright, straight treasure staff was being lightly flicked by an outstretched hand.

At this moment.

Even if it were the cicada-pattern ascetic monk, the former emperor of Dàjǐng, and other mighty ones.

They too would have their hairs stand on end.

"Qi Tian... has been resurrected?!"
