Chapter 577: Carving Qitian Cheng to Seize the Ruyi Golden Cudgel: To Take It or Not

Li Che's eyes flickered with a faint brilliance.

Staring at the Ruyi Golden Cudgel bound by countless sword‑qi chains and clanking, a sharp hue flashed in his eyes.

So the one who retrieved the Ruyi Golden Cudgel that had been thrust into the void turbulence is this Golden Crane King!

No wonder the sword‑qi Li Che sensed through the Ruyi Golden Cudgel seemed somewhat familiar.

However, as Li Che said, this Ruyi Golden Cudgel now belongs to him, Li Che, and is his divine weapon.

There is a divine‑weapon link between Li Che and the Ruyi Golden Cudgel!

It bears his imprint!

He is the true master of the divine weapon!

Back then, atop the city tower of Qitian Cheng, when he extracted this divine weapon, an indelible mark formed between the weapon and him!

That is the destiny between divine weapons!

When his own item is taken by others, Li Che naturally feels displeased.

But against a Nirvana Heavenly King, Li Che currently lacks sufficient strength; dealing with the Nirvana Heavenly King remains too difficult.

Li Che gazed at the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, began to ponder, seeking a way to reclaim the divine weapon.

"Perhaps... this banquet contest is a good opportunity."

Li Che exhaled slowly.

At this moment, the entire Drunken Eight Trigrams Treasure Pavilion was already filled with clamor.

One by one, the cultivators' eyes lit up.

Even the young emperors couldn't hide curiosity and envy.

Ji Shaohao watched the Golden Crane King display the Ruyi Golden Cudgel bound by sword‑qi, his gaze burning hot.

"It truly is the Ruyi Golden Cudgel of the Prison Lotus Demon Monkey!"

"This is a divine weapon not belonging to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, of extraordinary value and unique mystery!"

Ji Shaohao felt itchy and eager.

He did not expect that after the demon monkey was suppressed, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel fell into the Golden Crane King's hands.

"Ha ha, this divine weapon has a special material; the master granted it to me so I could attempt refinement and unravel its mysteries..."

"The master said this divine weapon contains a Heaven‑and‑Earth Will not belonging to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; if we can break it, perhaps we can shatter the barrier and find the path to immortality!"

The Golden Crane King's eyes also flashed with a fiery hue.

In the Drunken Eight Trigrams Pavilion, a heavy breath sounded again.

At this moment, even Fu Shaoxi, Shi Shaojia and others' eyes burned hot.

"The Prison Lotus Qitian is not an existence of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, not of this world; the mysteries they possess may only be known to the Celestial Immortals."

"However, for us, if we can access other realms' forces, we can naturally break this world's seal."

The Golden Crane King spread his five fingers, lightly brushed above the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, and a continuous hum rang out.

"My path to immortality is too arduous; although I pledged under the master, the master once said my road to immortality is too difficult."

"Because I practice the Sword Dao, and on the long river of Sword Dao... the immortal path was already severed."

"Unless that Sword Dao immortal falls, otherwise... I can only remain in the realm of the Nirvana Heavenly King for this life."

The Golden Crane King sighed lightly.

His voice floated and echoed throughout the pavilion.

For many cultivators present, the Nirvana Heavenly King is already an extremely powerful being!

He is a level and realm many look up to.

But for Nirvana Heavenly Kings, this is a painful tier, like the Lingxiao King encountered in the Two Saints' Guiyi Miao, and like the current Golden Crane King, both unwilling to be confined to the Nirvana Heavenly King realm.

They seek to prove the Dao and achieve immortality!

Yet it is not that easy; the path is occupied by other immortals, effectively cutting off their way.

Now, within this Ruyi Golden Cudgel lies the Golden Crane King's hope for future Dao proof and immortality.

How could the Golden Crane King not treasure it?

Besides, the Nirvana Heavenly Kings from Zu Long Ancient Village aggressively hunt Nezha the Third Prince mainly to find a chance to strike immortality from Nezha!

"In fact, the gods of the Prison Lotus lineage are our opportunities... besides the Demon Monkey Qitian and Nezha the Third Prince, there is also the Three‑Eyed Manifest Saint, who also does not belong to this realm; we can obtain breakthrough mysteries from him..."

"Unfortunately, after the Manifest Saint became a temple deity, he did not revive in the mortal world, and now in the human realm... the divine camps find it hard to arrange."

"Now in the human world, the Peerless Martial Immortal father of the Prison Lotus maiden sits in charge; even if the Three‑Eyed Manifest Saint's Guiyi Miao truly erupts and revives... we can hardly intervene."

The Golden Crane King clenched the Ruyi Golden Cudgel with his five fingers; countless clanking sword‑qi swirled, piling up behind him, forming clanking sword‑qi wings, golden radiance bursting and sweeping.

Ji Shaohao withdrew his gaze and exhaled lightly.

"The situation in the mortal world is indeed complex... the Heaven‑and‑Earth Will's lingering power in the mortal realm is too great; the highest limit of the strongest force that can descend here is the Dao‑Melding Realm... this realm cannot block that Peerless Martial Immortal Li Che."

If the Peerless Martial Immortal cannot resolve it, naturally he cannot intervene in mortal affairs.

"Not a big problem..."

The Golden Crane King waved his hand.

"The master once said the Peerless Martial Immortal cannot draw divinity into his body, meaning his lifespan will not be overly long... we only need to wait for this Peerless Martial Immortal to grow old and fall."

"The Peerless Martial Immortal's lifespan cap is about a thousand years, which we gods can wait for."

"If Li Che abandons the martial immortal path and embraces divinity again, that would be best; with the Peerless Martial Immortal's foundation, once divinity is embraced, the mortal Heaven‑and‑Earth Will will surely unleash the supreme calamity!"

"In the mortal world, he cannot stay."

This is why the strong of the various divine camps, upon learning a Peerless Martial Immortal appeared in the mortal world, are not in a great hurry.

Compared to their long lifespans, a thousand years is but a snap of the fingers.

"Back to the matter, everyone, my Ruyi Golden Cudgel now relies on you to help forge a weapon stand."

Gold Crane King, surrounded by golden sword qi and fluttering wings, swept his gaze over the entire Treasure Pavilion and gave a faint smile.

"The requirement isn't high; everyone knows this Ruyi Golden Cudgel is the divine weapon of Prison Lotus Qitian, and like that demon monkey, it belongs to the reckless and untamed class. Even I, the king, cannot refine it now; I can only forcefully bind and seal it with sword qi."

"You all saw the scene that erupted earlier, didn't you?"

A smile lingered on Gold Crane King's face.

As his words finished, the Divine Weapon Immortals in the hall were momentarily stunned, then gently inhaled.

"When the demon monkey Qitian burst out of the alchemical furnace, you all witnessed his bearing and mighty spirit, and you have observed them as well…"

"Therefore, the carving requirement is simple: just keep the Ruyi Golden Cudgel from stirring. In fact, you may carve a Divine Eagle of demon monkey Qitian on the weapon rack, the eagle bearing the treasure cudgel, using the monkey's divine resonance to soothe the Ruyi Golden Cudgel."

"Of course, this is only my suggestion; how you actually carve it is up to you."

"After all, you are the Divine Eagle Immortals."

Gold Crane King's words lit up many Divine Eagle Immortals' eyes, yet most of the Divine Eagle Immortals attending the banquet felt a tingling on their scalps.

So… the later hands were waiting here!

They had been busy marveling earlier; who still remembers the appearance of that demon monkey Qitian?

They were all intimidated by the monkey's aura, suppressed by the overwhelming pressure of the five Nirvana Heavenly Kings who intervened, and even watched the moment the Immortal Lao acted…

Hence, asking them to recall the monkey's divine resonance now is, frankly, very hard to carve.

Yet, after speaking, Gold Crane King returned to his seat, calmly lifted a golden goblet, drank, and a hint of enjoyment crossed his face.

Ji Shaohao, Fu Shaoxi and Shi Shaojia, the three Young Emperors, sat beside him, each gazing at the other, their eyes revealing a few unspoken thoughts.

Even Ji Shaohao, the Young Emperor of the Dark Heavenly Court, only knew there would be a contest before attending this Drunken Eight Trigrams Pavilion banquet; he didn't know the contest's requirements and didn't expect Gold Crane King to pose such a "question."

Honestly, the difficulty is quite high!

In the earlier scene, few paid much attention to the suppressed Qitian, since it was a false display; most of the splendor was shown by the five Nirvana Heavenly Kings and the final act of the Immortal will.

Who cares about a monkey?

Ji Shaohao couldn't help looking toward Li Che's direction and saw Li Che close his eyes, deep in thought, as if savoring the earlier scene.

"Truly worthy of the Cangche Immortal Hand, indeed reliable!"

Seeing that Li Che had learned the question and immediately entered the right mindset, Ji Shaohao let out a breath of relief and relaxed a bit.

Elsewhere, Fu Shaoxi looked toward the Divine Eagle Immortal Ba She of the Strange Demon Cave; indeed, this generation of Divine Eagle Immortals from the Strange Demon Cave are prodigies, many hailing from the Kua Emperor Palace, with terrifying talents.

Even against Hei Xumi, they are by no means inferior.

Hei Xumi's Jin Milo also closed his eyes like Li Che, entering a recollection, revisiting the heroic moment when demon monkey Qitian burst from the furnace before the Drunken Eight Trigrams Pavilion!

Since we must carve demon monkey Qitian, we must carve his most majestic moment.

Undoubtedly, the scene of Qitian breaking the furnace is the most suitable.

The other Divine Eagle Immortals also reacted, closing their eyes and entering contemplation.

The entire Drunken Eight Trigrams Pavilion fell silent at once.

Li Che gently closed his eyes; he wasn't recalling that scene, for he was far too familiar with the Qitian Temple deity.

He was more familiar than anyone, but…

Carving a Qitian Divine Eagle to calm the restless Ruyi Golden Cudgel is a good idea, yet putting it into practice…

In fact, all the authority rests with Li Che.

Li Che is linked with the divine weapon; as long as he wishes, even if Ba She, Jin Milo and others truly carve a Divine Eagle imbued with nine‑part Qitian divine resonance, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel can still revolt.

A single thought from Li Che can trigger it.

Therefore, Li Che need not ponder or recollect like others; instead he began thinking how to retrieve his own cudgel.

The Qitian Temple deity is suppressed by the Immortal Lao and a Heavenly Immortal; Li Che cannot rescue it. The only chance to intervene is when Immortal Lao refines the Qitian Divine Pill, to act upon the alchemical formation.

Hum—

His spirit stirred, entering the Heaven‑Earth Chessboard.

Within the board, a Martial Immortal Will sat upright, black robes fluttering.

Countless intersecting lines of the board spread out before his eyes.

Li Che lifted a piece, placed it gently on the board, and star‑light burst forth.

Opposite Li Che, countless stars intertwined to outline a figure as if bearing a universe, also picking up a piece to play against Li Che.

The pieces on the board multiplied, as scenes continuously unfolded, simulating Li Che's strike to seize the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and Gold Crane King's response.

Whether one can break through under the full force of a Nirvana Heavenly King and take the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.

Or whether it will pierce the will of the Immortal Lao!

After all, it's a provocation of a Nirvana Heavenly King, and now within Dou Tian Palace; this is Gold Crane King's arena, a true dragon‑pool tiger‑den—any slip could lead to endless ruin.

At this very moment, within the Drunken Eight Trigrams Pavilion.

Many Divine Eagle Immortals who had closed their eyes to recall the scenes could no longer hold back and opened their eyes.

They began selecting divine wood; Gold Crane King had prepared a pile of timber for the Divine Eagle Immortals, arranged along the pavilion's long corridor, a majestic divinity radiating from each piece, each being top‑grade, at least ten‑thousand‑year‑old.

Of course, for the Divine Eagle Immortals, a higher grade of divine wood isn't always better; they must consider whether they can wield it.

If the wood's grade is too high to carve, it would become a huge blunder.

Self‑awareness is also a lesson all Divine Eagle Immortals must learn.

Besides the three Young Emperors and the Divine Eagle Immortals, Gold Crane King also invited several Divine Eagle Great Immortals to the banquet.

Zhao Yun Great Immortal also arrived; as one of the few Divine Eagle Great Immortals of the Dark Heavenly Court, he naturally qualified for the banquet.

In addition, there were Ba Long Great Immortal of the Strange Demon Cave and Jialan Great Immortal of Hei Xumi.

The three Great Immortals sat at the banquet table, chatting casually about details of the alchemical formation layout.

These Divine Eagle Great Immortals could not directly join the formation of the eighty‑one formation Immortals.

Mainly because they could not gather all eighty‑one Divine Eagle Great Immortals and needed to maintain stability among the formation cultivators, they had to rely on the Divine Eagle Immortals instead.

If the differences between them are too great—consciousness, operation, and so on are far apart—the impact on the divine formation would be too large.

Therefore, the Divine Eagle Immortals invited to this Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly are mostly there to guide the Divine Eagle Immortal Hands, rather than to personally take part in the formation.

Boom—!!!

A divine‑nature storm erupted from within the Treasure Pavilion; as the Divine Eagle Immortal Hands began to wield their knives, the air rippled, stirred by the divine essence released from the Divine Trees.

However, the three Divine Eagle Immortals inside the private suite merely shook their heads slightly as they watched.

"Carving the Heaven‑Equaling Demon Monkey is indeed the best method, but… is the Heaven‑Equaling Demon Monkey that easy to carve?"

"After all, at its peak the Heaven‑Equaling Demon Monkey was comparable to the immortal heavens and could slay the immortal earth… such a being, even if long declined, cannot simply be carved out by the Divine Eagle Immortal Hands."

"The difficulty of capturing and manifesting divine resonance far exceeds the deductions of these Immortal Hands."

Divine Eagle Immortal Ba Long of the Strange Demon Cave opened his mouth wide, gulped a large mouthful of wine, and sneered.

Zhao Yuan Immortal and Jia Lan Immortal said nothing.

Buzz—

Suddenly, three immensely powerful divine thoughts burst forth.

Countless divine essences surged, like fire and tide.

Ji Shaohao and the others turned their heads; the three Divine Eagle Immortals also cast glances, their eyebrows slightly raised.

"It is the Divine Eagle Immortal Hands of the three great Two Saints ancient villages… the Xuan Yuan Hao Immortal Hand of Di Hong Ancient Village, the Dong Yang Immortal Hand of Taiyi Ancient Village; they have begun to act."

The three young emperors simultaneously narrowed their eyes.

After all, they are the young emperors of the three great divine camps; even though they compete with each other, they present a united front against the Two Saints ancient villages.

The Divine Eagle Immortal Hands of the three great Two Saints ancient villages—Zu Long Ancient Village is excluded outright; the remaining are the Divine Eagle Immortal Hands of Di Hong and Taiyi, which still require vigilance.

When the two opened their eyes, the divine thoughts swept across the corridor, and two Divine Trees burst forth, charging toward the carving platform in front of the private suite where they stood.

Whoosh—

The razor‑sharp knife light seemed to cut the very air, unleashing endless keenness!

Wood chips flew sideways; the divine essence atop the Divine Tree was instantly released.

On the two carving platforms, the released divine essence was directly outlined into the shape of the Heaven‑Equaling Demon Monkey, and their knives not only struck the Divine Tree but also ground and cut the Heaven‑Equaling form drawn by the divine essence.

This is a divine‑essence carving method: first obtain the divine essence needed for the outline, then use that essence to reverse‑engineer the Divine Tree and shape the form!

"Hmph!"

And when the Divine Eagle Immortal Hands of the three great Two Saints ancient villages made their move,

a cold snort rang out—it was Ba She of the Strange Demon Cave, showing no reservation in its contempt.

With a five‑finger grip, a hundred knives instantly whirled up, hanging everywhere, their clanging ringing endlessly.

With another casual move, a Divine Tree burst forth from the corridor, its momentum overwhelmingly fierce.

Such carving skill indeed matches the usual style of the demon race!

The Divine Tree thudded onto the carving platform; Ba She's body suddenly swelled, massive as a mountain, countless bizarre patterns weaving across him like totems.

A dense hundred knives hovered around him; his back burst open, arm after arm sprouted, coated in slime, grasping knives and beginning to carve!

"Amitabha…"

"I, the novice, will also begin now."

Hei Xu Mi's Jin Mi Luo opened his eyes, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

Countless Buddha lights bathed the scene; with palms together, Jin Mi Luo gazed at the largest Divine Tree in the corridor.

The Divine Tree whooshed in, slowly landing on the carving platform, almost reaching the very top of the Treasure Pavilion!

Hei Xu Mi's Divine Eagle style is summed up in one word: grand!

They can even carve an entire mountain into a Buddha statue!

As Hei Xu Mi and the Divine Eagle Immortal Hands of the Strange Demon Cave began their work, the private suite where the Golden Crane King resided became lively.

Shi Shaojia and Fu Shaoxi both turned to look at Ji Shaohao.

"Brother Shaohao, the Divine Eagle Immortal Hand from your Dark Heavenly Court thinks fastest with eyes closed, yet is the slowest to wield the knife; it seems you truly intend to master the Heaven‑Equaling Divine Eagle…"

Fu Shaoxi chuckled lightly, his tone oddly sarcastic.

Ji Shaohao furrowed his brows but said nothing.

"Brother Shaoxi, just wait—Cang Che the Immortal Hand has earned Zhao Yuan Immortal's praise…"

Ji Shaohao remained very calm, inexplicably confident in Cang Che.

He didn't know where this confidence came from; in any case, he was simply confident.

"Open your eyes."

Suddenly, the usually taciturn Shi Shaojia opened his mouth.

A speck of crimson appeared at his brow, and his gaze burst forth with golden light.

He stared at Li Che standing in the suite's corridor; golden light swirled in his eyes, and faintly it seemed he sensed a familiar feeling.

That familiar feeling intensified dramatically when he saw Xixi in the suite, gorging herself.

That little girl…

However, when Shi Shaojia tried to probe deeper, the familiar sensation vanished.

"Strange…"

Ji Shaohao immediately fixed his gaze there.

In fact, Ji Shaohao didn't have high expectations for Li Che, though he produced an Eight‑leaf Dao‑Essence Divine Crystal to stimulate Li Che.

Nevertheless, Ji Shaohao didn't think Cang Che's carving could definitely overwhelm the two Divine Eagle Immortal Hands of the Two Saints ancient villages.

After all, the Two Saints ancient villages… have sufficient self‑sufficiency to become what they are.

Each of their ancient villages has a Divine Eagle Immortal stationed as a guardian.

Shi Shaojia and Fu Shaoxi also looked over curiously; the Dark Heavenly Court, in the Divine Eagle's realm, has always been weak, but this time Ji Shaohao was so full of confidence, and they were naturally curious.

The Golden Crane King pinched the golden goblet, also looking over.

Li Che did not expect that just after he took out his carving knife, he became the focus of the Golden Crane King's private box.

Those gazes, as solid as substance, Li Che naturally sensed.

His eyebrows twitched slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

He swept his gaze toward the Divine Trees hanging over the long corridor.

"Damn big dog family."

Li Che cursed inwardly.

These Divine Trees dazzled Li Che, leaving him spellbound.

A thought struck him, and he directly took five Divine Trees—the largest remaining after the one selected by Jin Milo was removed.

Li Che's single‑handed selection of five Divine Trees also stunned many.

"What is he doing?!"

Xuan Yuan Hao of the Di Hong Ancient Village, exceedingly handsome, held the carving knife, his complexion strange.

Ba She and Jin Milo only glanced once, then averted their gaze.

In their hearts they silently placed Li Che among those seeking to win the crowd's favor.

It seems the Dark Heavenly Court knows it has a flaw in the Divine Eagle Path and intends to take the crowd‑pleasing route directly?

Winning the crowd can indeed attract attention.

But the Divine Eagle… ultimately still speaks through its works.

Inside the private box, Ji Shaohao's expression also grew strange.

And the next moment, Ji Shaohao couldn't help raising his hand to cover his face, feeling embarrassed.

Because Li Che, gripping the carving knife, struck down fiercely, taking a massive Divine Tree, yet he only cut a small piece from it—about a tenth—while the remaining nine‑tenths he rudely collected.

This move truly left Ji Shaohao looking embarrassed.

Even the Nirvana Heavenly King Golden Crane King was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, drinking the wine in his cup.

"Young Emperor, where did you find this Divine Eagle Immortal Hand…"

"Interesting."

Ji Shaohao rubbed his brow: "Heavenly King, please don't mock, the Cangche Immortal Hand comes from a fourth‑rank ancient village… having a strong sense of responsibility to the village, wanting to gather more Divine Trees for it is understandable."

"Understood."

"Hahaha! A Divine Eagle Immortal Hand rising from a humble background is indeed not easy."

The Golden Crane King laughed, showing no anger.

Just a few Divine Trees; as many as needed, for a Nirvana Heavenly King it's nothing at all.

"However, if he takes the Divine Trees and doesn't use them… that won't do."

"That's the rule; you can't just freeload, right?"

The Golden Crane King said lightly.

He has the resources, but freeloading…

Not allowed!

Ji Shaohao's expression was helpless: "It should… be used. As a Divine Eagle Immortal Hand, the Cangche Immortal Hand still knows the rules."

Shi Shaojia pressed both palms together, his expression gentle, bathed in Buddha's light.

"If you want to use other Divine Trees, you must splice them with mortise‑and‑tenon joints; this tests not only Divine Eagle Technique but also mastery of mortise‑and‑tenon craft… much harder."

"Moreover, a Divine Eagle assembled from spliced Divine Trees may produce a mismatched effect on its divine resonance."

Shi Shaojia himself is a top‑tier Divine Eagle Immortal Hand, even stronger than Jin Milo, and naturally has a deep understanding of the Divine Eagle.

Ji Shaohao knows little about the Divine Eagle, so… he did not reply.

The private box fell silent.

The other Divine Eagle Immortal Hands also did not pay attention to Li Che.

"Splicing art?"

"Who do you think I am?"

Among the Divine Eagle Immortal Hands present, which one is not a top figure from an ancient village or camp, intending to win them with splicing skill?

"Look down on whom?!"

Li Che exhaled, adhering to the principle of not wasting Divine Trees, taking five; if not fearing a bad impact, he might have taken several more.

However, five Divine Trees for splicing is already the limit.

More would truly lead to a bad ending.

Knowing when to stop, Li Che still understood, and then he began carving.

The carving knife whirred in his hand, and Li Che cut and carved the five Divine Trees separately, wood shavings fluttering.

Compared with the other Divine Eagle Immortal Hands' dazzling Divine Eagle Technique, Li Che's skill appeared modest and unadorned.

A carving knife, heart settled, each stroke outlining the shape.

It felt as smooth as a babbling stream.

Around him, each Divine Eagle Immortal Hand's Divine Tree had already outlined a Qi Tian form, each posture different, aura like a rainbow.

However…

As the carving began to finish.

Between heaven and earth, a sudden, resounding ape howl rang out!

Crack!

Bang!

The sound of monkey howls echoed throughout the Treasure Pavilion, as if resonating with the air in trembling waves.

Then……

One divine eagle after another began to explode!

Each divine eagle immortal hand wore a grim expression and let out a startled cry.

Exploding eagles!

Bang bang bang—

The speed of the exploding eagles was unimaginable!

Even a divine eagle immortal hand about to finish carving, no matter how it released divine thoughts, could not block out the monkey howl nor suppress the cracks appearing on the divine eagle.

Wood shavings flew sideways, constantly scattering, like endless snow!

One by one, the Divine Eagle Immortal Hands, faces pale, stepped back from their carving platforms with a thudding pace, trembling all over.

"Carving Qi Tian… is it really that easy?"

"It was once a being comparable to the immortal heavens; now Qi Tian is suppressed in Dou Tian Palace City, its will, though unable to disperse, still forms a faint connection."

In the private box, Golden Crane King watched coldly and said lightly.

However, not all Divine Eagle Immortal Hands experience exploding eagles.

Ba She brandished a hundred carving knives in a frenzy; the Qi Tian Divine Eagle slowly took shape in his hands, its divinity restrained, with no fluctuations.

On the other side, Jin Mi Luo also successfully carved a Qi Tian Divine Eagle; that colossal Qi Tian Divine Eagle, even when the monkey howl attacked, remained stable and never burst.

Besides that, Xuan Yuan Hao and Dongyang Immortal Hand also began the finishing touches.

Their Divine Eagles quivered slightly under the monkey howl, yet did not shatter.

When the monkey howl gradually calmed.

"It's done!"

Ba She let out a long howl and sheathed his carving knife.

He slapped the Qi Tian Divine Eagle with his palm.

The Divine Eagle roared out, heading toward the Sword Qi swept and bound by Golden Crane King, while the Ruyi Golden Cudgel floating in the air sped away.

"Golden Crane Heavenly King, please release the Sword Qi bind!"

Ba She's massive body glowed with fierce eyes.

His words finished.

Golden Crane King waved his bare hand.

In the next moment, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel whooshed down and struck.

The Qi Tian Divine Eagle propped it up with one hand, perfectly grasping the Ruyi Golden Cudgel!

Boom!

The Divine Eagle thunderously crashed into the center of the Drunken Bagua Treasure Pavilion!

Smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Ba She exhaled in one breath, dispersing countless plumes of smoke.

His eyes blazed like torches, staring at the scene, and he grinned.

"Hey, it's done!"

Seeing the Qi Tian Divine Eagle holding the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, Ba She felt a weight lift from his heart.

However.

Li Che, who was carving, slowly lifted his head and glanced.

The Qi Tian Divine Eagle began to tremble violently, then cracked all over like porcelain.

Finally…

The explosively shattered millions of fragments roared and turned into countless swirling wood shavings!
