Chapter 475: The Gods and Buddhas of the Heavens Appear as Grass in One
Foolish disciple…
A faint sigh echoed throughout the entire Qi Tian Temple, as if an ancient deity, after gazing down upon the mortal world, let out a lingering, hurricane‑like sigh that seemed never to cease.
Leaning on a stone coffin, his arms were covered in monkey hair, his bones as thin as firewood, his skin and fur clinging to bone; he looked like an ancient wooden carving, were it not for the two brilliant golden eyes that radiated dazzling light and unleashed terrifying divine might.
No one could believe that this gaunt monkey was once the mighty Qi Tian, who had once traversed heaven and earth, crushing countless immortals.
The sigh was tinged with sorrow, bearing the pain and grief of a waning dusk.
The old monkey seemed to see beyond the Qi Tian Temple, the figure transformed into the Temple‑Guarding Corpse King, a child who severed the spark of life, exerting all his strength to protect his master.
Inside the Qi Tian Temple, endless sorrow and injury shrouded everything; no one can say the stone monkey is heartless—its heart burns with fervent passion.
The gaunt old monkey slowly closed his eyes, fell into silence, and all past memories unfolded vividly before him.
The old monkey seemed to recall the scene of that shaggy youngster, after being bullied by the family's eldest son, crouching alone in a corner and crying, and the moment he emerged from the treasured staff to gently pat the child's head…
Alas, time is like a blade, cruelty unfeeling, cutting away all those past images.
Thousands of years of desolation sat still; it is hard to imagine how one could have traversed it.
Back then the old monkey was suppressed for five hundred years, nearly to the point of madness…
The old monkey, panting heavily, closed his eyes; in the next instant he brazenly opened them, and boundless grief transformed into a raging, interwoven sky‑splitting killing aura!
The entire Qi Tian Temple seemed, at that moment, to be completely frozen.
The late Emperor Dàjǐng, Lü Wenchang, was pierced through the heart by a Ruyi Golden Cudgel, like a long spear, and forcefully slammed against the gate of Guiyi Miao.
Fresh blood sprayed, continuously dripping down from his corpse.
A Second Disaster Divine Tribulation Venerable, who had crossed two calamities and mastered tribulation power, was at this moment easily slain, his life force cut off and his spirit extinguished.
Even the heavens‑and‑earth Dao soul was shattered.
There was not even a chance to struggle.
The gap is as vast as the heavens!
Inside the Qi Tian Temple…
A wave of terror surged like a tide, raging and rolling, enveloping everyone in chilling cold.
The remaining three strong ones showed no concealment of horror on their faces.
The Cicada‑Pattern Ascetic, the female Guanyin, and the priest of Witch‑God Mountain all showed facial changes, their complexion turning pale and unsightly.
"Qi Tian… truly revived!"
A storm of shock rose in the hearts of the three.
It's chaotic, everything's out of control!
Logically, Qi Tian should not have revived at this moment; the time had not yet come!
The gods of the Prison Lotus are supposed to revive only at the final rise of the divine tide, yet… the current Qi Tian has revived early.
Dead and revived!
There must be some hidden trick here, some reason they do not know that caused Qi Tian's early revival!
If Qi Tian can revive early…
What about the other Prison Lotus gods?!
That eight‑armed Prison Lotus Third Prince…
And the marvelous Daoic Manifested Sacred Three‑Eyed True Lord standing atop Mei Mountain…
Will these beings, who once stirred the winds in the era of rising divine tides and terrified the gods of all factions, also revive early?
The situation is about to undergo earth‑shattering changes!
Li Che's face burned with primordial Dragon‑Elephant flame, his eyes shining exceptionally bright, his heart surging wildly.
Qi Tian… Great Sage!
This is a being from overlapping myths of two lifetimes; Li Che's heart surged, and at this moment he felt an unprecedented stirring and shock.
Qi Tian!
A title that Li Che knows extremely well; ever since hearing it in Jin Guang Mansion, his heart has been roiled.
Could this world's Qi Tian be linked to the Qi Tian of the previous mythic life?
But now is not the time to ask these questions.
Because Li Che clearly sensed the shift in circumstances outside the Qi Tian Temple!
Five Supreme Lords, locked onto the locations of each clan's supreme essence, crossed from the mysterious gate to hasten here; now, having arrived, they descend upon the area beyond the Qi Tian ruins with boundless pressure, seeking to claim the entire Qi Tian remains!
They wish to seize the Qi Tian inheritance!
Meanwhile, the Patriarch of the Fang family, transformed into the Temple‑Guarding Corpse King, discarding life and death, faces the five Supreme Lords alone, a one‑against‑five battle!
He is using his life, both in this world and beyond, to fulfill his vow and obsession to protect Qi Tian!
Li Che suddenly understood why Fang Hanshu chose to sacrifice his life for righteousness, to pursue the will of the Fang Patriarch.
One must admit, it truly commands respect.
"Alas, Xiao Fangzi…"
The old monkey let out a soft sigh again; he too sensed and understood the former beloved disciple's decisive sacrifice today.
"Run!"
The Cicada‑Pattern Ascetic, the female Guanyin, and the priest of Witch‑God Mountain each, at this moment, had only one thought.
That thought was to flee!
Even if the newly revived Qi Tian is merely just resurrected, it is still a deity‑level being.
At the very least it possesses supreme authority!
It is beyond the level that those Second Disaster Divine Tribulation Venerables can contend with!
Moreover, Qi Tian belongs to the Prison Lotus camp, a cataclysmic existence that once shattered heavens and earth, and among the gods ranks, it is a top‑tier deity!
These existences, they couldn't muster the slightest thought of resistance.
Bang bang bang—
Three immensely powerful auras and energies erupted, the cicada‑pattern ascetic monk's back‑pattern trembled, and they fiercely slammed toward the gate.
Yet they failed to break the gate, as if a mighty will sealed it shut, blocking their retreat and leaving them no escape.
"Shatter the void and walk away!"
The cicada‑pattern ascetic monk roared, gripping his monk's staff tightly, he jabbed fiercely, as if wanting to blast the space.
But with Qitian's recovery, a terrifying divine might swept through the entire Qitian Temple, making space seem to solidify, so stable that it could not be shattered at all!
The three Second Disaster God Tribulation Venerables exerted all their strength to break space, yet they couldn't even produce a spatial rift.
Cold sweat streamed down; the three powerhouses from different factions, at this moment, felt panic and anxiety arise in their hearts!
Meanwhile, the old monkey seated in the ancient stone coffin didn't even glance at them; he raised his hand, his furry five claws, gently closing.
That Primordial Unity Ruyi Golden Hooped Staff, which had pierced Lu Wen Chang, instantly hoisted his corpse, floating back to hover before the old monkey.
The old monkey reached out and grabbed the treasure staff.
Instantly, the treasure staff violently trembled; countless blood threads surfaced on it, continuously entwining, actually decomposing Lu Wen Chang's corpse, finally turning into pure energy that flowed along the staff into the old monkey's body.
The old monkey's withered frame seemed unchanged, only the luster of his fur gained a bit more color.
Swallowed… swallowed it?!
Not to mention the cicada‑pattern ascetic monks, even Li Che couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Lu Wen Chang didn't even get the chance to be seized by Li Che's divine capture before the old monkey devoured him cleanly—blood, flesh, and bones all melted away, like an ice sculpture thawing in midsummer.
Melted, clean and clean.
Only a divine weapon, the Great Dragon Banner Spear, remained, lying on the ground with dim light.
The old monkey grabbed the other end of the golden hooped staff with his five fingers, and with another hand seized the Great Dragon Banner Spear, which then fell into his grasp.
"The aura of the Immortal Gathering Banner."
"The Mao God of the Dark Heaven Court……"
The old monkey spoke lightly, then his gaze fell upon Li Che.
"Young man, you carry a strong, rich aura of the Hell Lotus… Is the Hell Lotus Maiden closely related to you?"
The old monkey's eyes shone golden, as if seeing through Li Che's disguise of the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame on his head.
Li Che heard this and nodded.
"The current Hell Lotus Maiden… is my daughter."
Li Che thought of Xixi's identity, which everyone recognized as the Hell Lotus Maiden.
So Li Che spread his hands, laying his cards bare.
The old monkey blinked: "Ah, my apologies."
Then, a mighty divine surge burst from his five fingers, washing over the Great Dragon Banner in his hand, and he hurled the Great Dragon Banner Spear to Li Che.
This was the old monkey's greeting gift.
Li Che took the Great Dragon Banner Spear, his heart also slightly trembling.
Four Divine Guard Weapons!
This Great Dragon Banner Spear is also one of the Four Divine Guard Weapons, also a fine thing; the Great Jing Emperor Lu Wen Chang activated the divine spirit within it, and its might is not insignificant.
Li Che happily took it in.
And the old monkey no longer looked at Li Che; his brilliant golden gaze seemed to burn like two clusters of golden flames blazing in darkness.
He spread his arms.
Instantly, within the entire Qitian Temple, countless surges of divine vigor, spirit, essence, and heavenly-earth energy wildly surged forth.
Endless heavenly-earth energy surged, spreading across the sky and earth, gathering toward the old monkey seated in the stone coffin.
The emaciated old monkey, under the flood of essence and energy, instantly began to grow; his dried, clumped fur also unfurled, gradually becoming supple.
Rumble—
Even as the old monkey spread his arms, the terrifying range of essence, divinity, and spirit was no longer confined to the Qitian Temple, but expanded toward Qitian Nei Cheng, and even the whole Qitian Cheng!
Vast as an ocean, divine vigor, essence, and heavenly-earth energy ebbed and flowed like tides, boundless and incessant, continually surging toward the Qitian Temple.
Within Qitian Nei Cheng.
Lu Tai Bai, Lu Qian Kun, and the Purple Void Sect Sect Leader Wu Ji, who had retreated to the city gate archway, and other powerhouses, all stared in horror.
Energy from all directions gathered completely, forming a terrifying vortex funnel, as if a dragon-swirl vortex kept spinning!
It was as if a terrifying existence that had slept for eons was slowly awakening.
Just a simple stretch, and the heavens and earth trembled!
"Qitian… really revived!"
"He draws in heavenly-earth essence to restore his flesh, dead yet reborn!"
Zhang Wu Ji drew a deep breath, holding up the silver tablet, full of bitterness and shock.
Without a doubt, Qitian Cheng has undergone a tremendous change, beyond anyone's imagination.
Qitian, unexpectedly, revived early!
If this were to spread, it would be a tremendous shock to the gods of all factions within the Gui Que.
Rumble—!!!
Above Qitian Nei Cheng!
Deathly and corpse qi rolled like thick fog, the power erupting from the Guarding Temple Corpse King at extreme bounds burning himself.
And the five supremes clashing with it renewed their supreme essence, shining forth and erupting with powerful supreme pressure.
In the gaps of their battle with the Guarding Temple Corpse King, they also noticed the anomaly of the Qitian Temple.
The rolling surge of heaven and earth essence and spiritual qi made their faces involuntarily grow solemn.

The ascetic monk with cicada patterns from the Western Regions' Buddhist lands, the female Guanyin, and the witch god shaman from Witch God Mountain all had extremely grim expressions.
The three faced Qi Tian's terrifying pressure, looked at each other, and exchanged thoughts.
"Let's join forces! Qi Tian has revived, his divine might is vast… If we wait for him to fully recover, we have no chance at all, only despair and death."
"Now, Qi Tian has just revived, his condition hasn't returned to its peak yet; perhaps this is our only chance to escape death!"
"Kill, let's join forces to kill our way out of this Guiyi Miao!"
……
The three's thoughts collided in barely a flash, and they reached consensus: to join forces and strike against Qi Tian.
Hinder Qi Tian's revival, seize the opportunity, break the shackles, and escape to survive!
Boom—!!!
The three Second Disaster Divine Tribulation Honored Ones, in an instant, made their choice.
The three joined forces, Buddha Light radiated magnificently, the cicada‑pattern ascetic monks of the Western Buddha Land, without hesitation, unleashed a world‑shocking slaughter; on their monk staffs swirled golden dragon shadows, the golden bowl quivered violently, fully triggering the divine aura of the Four Imperial Divine Weapons!
However…
Countless towering divinity, vital essence, and heaven‑and‑earth energy seemed to boil, turning into scorching, thick fog surging.
The fog tore apart, and a fluffy giant hand thundered out from within.
The revived Buddha Light divine aura in the golden bowl was brutally smacked into silence by that hand; with a crisp "ding", the golden bowl flew sideways like a rubber ball, smashing hard onto the ground and bouncing.
Li Che sat on the ground, cross‑legged, his eyes slightly opened as he watched the scene, then closed again.
Because he knows…
From now on, he need not act; he only needs… to watch the spectacle.
Rumble—
The cicada‑pattern ascetic monk's face turned extremely grim, his eyes fixed on the coffin shrouded by countless energies.
Then the gaunt old monkey slowly rose from the coffin.
Holding a slender Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff in one hand, he slung it over his shoulder; the old monkey was short, even dwarf‑like, yet exuded a massive, terrifying divine might that spread like a surging ocean.
The cicada‑pattern ascetic monk raised his five fingers, and the golden bowl that had been flung returned.
With the golden bowl atop his head, his whole body enveloped by countless Buddha Light, the divine aura infused his flesh, like a serpentine ribbon of spirit, and he charged fiercely.
His aura rose step by step, as if he merged with the divine weapon, his vitality rapidly draining, intending to exhaust everything in a final battle!
The woman Guanyin, hair loose, barefoot shimmering, held a pure goat‑fat jade bottle aloft, appearing as a true Guanyin stepped out of myth.
From the jade bottle sprouted a willow branch, which she grasped and swung fiercely toward the cloth‑clad old monkey.
The Wushen Priest of Wushen Mountain transformed into a ferocious great demon, sprouting six wings behind him, each feather on the wings turning into razor‑sharp sword‑feather blades.
Amid the clanging, the six wings flailed wildly, like ten thousand swords unleashed!
Kill! Kill! Kill!
The three Second Disaster Divine Tribulation Honored Ones, at this moment, gave their all and fought desperately.
However…
A chilling event occurred.
The cloth‑clad old monkey rose from the stone coffin, took a step onto the ground of the Guiyi Miao; his firm footfall made the entire Guiyi Miao tremble.
It was a scene as if heaven and earth shuddered, as if the will of the world sensed a deity's revival and was shaken.
The vast divine might was almost world‑overwhelming.
It left one breathless.
The three Second Disaster Divine Tribulation Honored Ones gave their all, burning their lives, merging with the Four Imperial Divine Weapons, using divine aura to fight for survival, seeking a chance of life from the abyss.
Dong—
The old monkey stepped out of the stone coffin, like a deity who had died for ages, emerging from the slumbering sarcophagus, sending chills, unbelievable, as if witnessing a myth revived!
The Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff slung on his shoulder also fell, grasped by the old ape with one hand, dragging on the ground; its other end scraped the earth, producing a metallic‑stone clang.
Lu Wenchang's death placed immense pressure on the three!
Thus, these three strong ones dared no reservation; earlier they had held back, but now, to emerge in the contest for Qi Tian's remains, they could not afford it.
And now, there is no room for restraint!
Surviving is already good enough!
Kill!
The three surged forward to kill.
But facing the revived Qi Tian, the surging aura made the three feel a stagnation of power and boundless terror deep within.
With fear in their hearts, they lost the ability to confront directly!
Pfft!
The Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff was lightly flung by the old monkey, arcing through the air.
Countless feather‑swords flew sideways, their blade flashes clanging as they scattered densely across the ground.
The Wushen Priest of Wushen Mountain felt a weight in his heart.
The surrounding solidified void seemed, at that moment, to shatter as the old monkey slowly stepped out of the stone coffin.
The old monkey walked slowly, leisurely, because he could crush all ahead!
The Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff struck again, seemingly slow, yet unavoidable.
The Wushen Priest of Wushen Mountain let out a painful, blood‑splattered wail, his body ripped apart from the fused divine weapon, the released divine aura completely extinguished.
Pfft—
Another staff sweep passed; as the Wushen Priest roared, trying to block, a staff struck his shoulder, seeping into his flesh, a terrifying force pouring out from the ordinary club.
It blasted his flesh apart!
It exploded into countless shards of meat flying, with blood mist surging!
The entire Qi Tian Temple interior turned into a blood‑red sea, swirling with the wind of death!
The Heaven‑and‑Earth Dao Soul surged upward, terrified to the extreme, yet there was nowhere to flee.
The old monkey opened its mouth, took a deep inhalation, and swallowed all the blood mist together with the Heaven‑and‑Earth Dao Soul of the deceased Witch‑God Mountain Priest.
But the old monkey merely shook its head, clearly dissatisfied, because the ingested qi‑blood and Heaven‑and‑Earth Dao Soul produced no reaction at all, preventing any restoration of its strength.
The Witch‑God Mountain Priest, a being who stood at the pinnacle among mortals, once forged a legend in the Great Li Royal Court, a peerless figure whose name endured through the ages, and was slain by a single staff strike.
The Cicada‑Pattern Ascetic and the Guanyin of the Southern Sea Purple Bamboo Grove both felt a chill surge.
Yet, when the two decided to fight, they seemed to have foreseen this outcome.
"He has definitely not yet regained his true divine power…"
"Kill!"
The two launched a counterattack in the desperate situation.
They could not escape, for the Guiyi Miao portals were sealed and the void was suppressed, leaving no way out.
Only a tragic fate of facing Qi Tian remained.
Yet they were no ordinary mortals; they were Dual Calamity Divine Tribulation Venerables who stood at the pinnacle of the world, resolute in will, seeking a fierce battle and never giving up easily!
Thick mist churned, divine essences intertwined, tribulation forces flickered—tribulation thunder, wind, and fire of myriad kinds—continuously flashing like a cascade of omens!
Boom—
The void, which had been unyieldingly firm to them,
now resembled fragile paper, easily shattered and torn apart!
A plain, unremarkable staff struck!
The golden bowl cracked, as if a golden Buddha were wailing in agony!
A willow branch snapped, exploding into green dust!
Guanyin, hair disheveled, was drenched in blood!
The sight was unbearably tragic!
Invincible and unmatched!
There was no other way; the two were too desperate. Even a newly revived deity was still a true god, gazing over heaven and earth, looking down on all beings, walking among mortals, absolutely invincible!
The Cicada‑Pattern Ascetic and Guanyin had not endured much suffering, for Qi Tian cared little to torment them.
Even though they had once coveted His remains, seeking to seize His corpse.
Bang—
Both were pulverized into mush; even Guanyin's peerless beauty, in the old monkey's eyes, was merely a crimson skull.
Under one staff, men and women are equal, and all beings are equal.
Two large splashes of blood burst!
The two Dual Calamity Divine Tribulation Venerables perished here; of the five who had previously arrived, arrogant in seeking Qi Tian's remains, only the Purple Palace Divine Sect Sect Leader Zhang Wuji, who fled early, survived.
The other four all died on the spot.
Li Che also ceased siphoning Heaven‑and‑Earth energy; his eyes opened and glimmered brightly.
His gaze swept over the splintered blood, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes at the fallen strongman's shattered form.
These dead Dual Calamity Divine Tribulation Venerables were all worthy of becoming his Bound Spirits.
Unfortunately, Qi Tian had devoured all their energy, even soul power and the marks between Heaven and Earth, leaving nothing.
They turned to ash, utterly vanished from the world.
Such a death... perhaps even a Bound Spirit could not be formed.
Forming a Bound Spirit also has certain conditions.
The old monkey, dragging the blood‑stained Ruyi Golden Cudgel, opened its mouth wide and inhaled, draining the Heaven‑and‑Earth Dao Soul, divinity, qi‑blood, energy…
Its monkey hair faintly glowed; the old monkey hoisted the Ruyi Golden Cudgel again and turned to glance at Li Che.
As if seeing the regret in Li Che's eyes.
Qi Tian flinched slightly.
Then bared its teeth.
"I'll compensate you later."
Li Che didn't pay much attention.
He stood up and looked at the still gaunt old monkey.
The old monkey did not halt, stepping step by step toward the outside of Guiyi Miao.
With each footfall, the temple trembled.
Countless blood‑qi swirled around him, raging vital energy, divinity, and tribulation forces entwining endlessly.
Boom—!!!
The tightly sealed Qi Tian Temple portal burst open!
A gale roared in from outside.
Then.
The old monkey gazed at the opened portal.
Carrying the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, he walked outward.
With a step, his monkey‑hair‑covered foot shone in the Cloud‑tread Divine Boots.
Another step, golden armor surfaced over his simple robe, scales of mail covering his body, a massive red cloak draped from his shoulders like a crimson fire illuminating heaven and earth!
The final step was taken.
Above the old monkey's head, a golden crown appeared, and two feather‑like blades pierced the sky like divine spears!
It was only three steps.
He stepped out of the temple that bound the temple deity.
He tread before the gate.
One hand gripping the treasure staff, he angled his finger toward the sky.
As if the gods and Buddhas filling the heavens were as insignificant as weeds in his eyes.
Just like the divine eagle of the altar's temple god!
Who else but me? I alone am supreme!
This is Qi Tian's revival!
It is…
The Great Sage returns!
