Chapter 213: The Strongest Divine Form, the Divine Ape Descends

Chapter 213: The Strongest Divine Form, the Divine Ape Descends

Within the Hundred Turns Worry Dream Osmanthus Rabbit Mystic Temple, a small temple filled with flickering lights and gentle breezes from outside, creating a rippling flow within.

Li Che adjusted his conical hat, his eyes gleaming beneath the Sacred Demon Mask. The Heavenly Chessboard instantly expanded, enveloping the Mystic Temple and blocking out all external sensing.

This was just an extra precaution, as the strange fog and the temple's unique defense were already formidable. Ordinary cultivators' primordial spirits couldn't penetrate the fog to reach the temple.

Rumble...

Within the Niwan Palace, the primordial spirit opened its eyes, clearly sensing the trembling fear of the temple deity.

The deity's divinity rippled outward like ripples.

Li Che had arrived during the day, and now, in the evening, he followed the scent.

In fact...

Li Che suspected that the temple deities might have some sort of connection, and wondered if this Divine Rabbit Temple deity had sensed the deity he had summoned through his divine form.

The Mystic Temple seemed even more desolate at night, with white candles encircling it, dispelling darkness from every corner. On the altar, the Divine Rabbit Temple deity was surrounded by a ring of flickering candlelight.

"Don't be afraid."

Li Che smiled and spoke to the trembling deity statue.

He suddenly realized that the Divine Rabbit was a deity of the Seven Treasures Mystic Temple, while the Fire-Eyed Divine Shocking Sacred Ape was from the Eight Extremes Mystic Temple.

Logically, the Divine Rabbit should not fear the Sacred Ape.

"Is it the Heaven-Touching Face?"

"Another deity beaten by a monkey?"

Li Che pondered for a moment and understood the reason for the Divine Rabbit's fear.

It was similar to the situation in the Golden Heavenly King's Temple, where the Golden Heavenly King glared with anger.

To confirm his suspicion, Li Che's thoughts stirred, and the Heavenly Chessboard shrank, sealing away the Heaven-Touching Face.

Thud!

In an instant, the entire Mystic Temple fell into an eerie silence.

The silence was deafening, and even the sound of raindrops on the black tiles above seemed to become crystal clear.

Whoosh...

The moisture and dust were gently stirred, causing the spiderwebs in the corners to sway, emitting a faint, audible sound.

Tiny droplets of water trickled down the black eaves of the Mystic Temple.

Pat, pat...

Sounds of something slowly approaching.

Li Che's skin prickled with goosebumps, and even his powerful Grandmaster's vital aura seemed to freeze, unable to flow through his meridians at this moment.

However...

Li Che looked around and noticed that the Divine Rabbit Temple deity had disappeared from the altar.

The deity, with its rabbit head and slender figure in women's clothing, suddenly vanished, as if it had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Li Che furrowed his brows and looked towards a flickering candle, where the Divine Rabbit Temple deity's three-lobed lips were visible. Beneath its clothing, countless blue veins bulged, forming terrifying muscles like coiling dragons, still trembling.

"Roar!!!"

The deity's head tilted, and it let out a mad roar.

"How dare you deceive the rabbit?!"

Boom! With terrifying speed, the Divine Rabbit pulled out countless afterimages, moving at an extreme pace that nearly shattered the airflow.

Countless waves of force exploded in all directions.

Beneath the Sacred Demon Mask, Li Che's muscles tensed, and he transformed with the Dragon Elephant Vajra!"

Intense vital aura and divine aura surged like a whip, erupting like a volcanic blast.

The Divine Rabbit's slender figure instantly swelled, transforming into a Vajra Bunny, and then it unleashed a sharp cutting force akin to sword energy.

Slash!

Li Che's black silk robe was sliced with numerous cuts.

The sword energy entwined with the rabbit's punches, tearing through the air, faster than the Divine Rabbit Temple deity's speed.

The overwhelming pressure of a divine rank, akin to a mountain, slammed into Li Che's heart.

It was like a raging storm on a new lake, causing countless divine essences to boil and erupt."

Li Che took a step back, his eyes brightening like flames.

The Fire-Eyed Divine Shocking Sacred Ape's divine form!

In an instant, the divine form appeared!

"Squeak!!!"

The Sacred Ape deity shrieked, its five fingers clenched, and countless divine essences condensed into a golden staff, smashing towards the Divine Rabbit Temple deity.

Boom!!!

The collision of divine powers caused the air to ripple and undulate, forming wave-like patterns that violently expanded and surged.

"You deceitful monkey!"

At the same time, Li Che and the Divine Rabbit Temple deity's fists finally clashed.

Boom! The impact of vital aura and divine aura!

It was like a thunderclap in their hearts.

In the instant their eyes met, the Divine Rabbit Temple deity's scarlet eyes were filled with infinite resentment and hatred.

It was as if countless evil spirits were howling and shrieking, trying to blow out Li Che's martial will like a candle in the wind.

The deity's will!

The Seven Treasures Mystic Temple deity, invincible among its peers, comparable to a Grandmaster with thirty-six divine auras and a Divine Essence True Person with a fully condensed primordial spirit.

However, Li Che remained calm and fearless, even feeling a surge of battle intent. His Ten Thousand Dragon Subduing Divinity Martial Saint's true intent, which had been like a flickering candle, suddenly grew stronger.

Behind Li Che, a brilliant golden Dragon Elephant seemed to appear.

A divine monkey held a treasure staff, and with a boom, it swept through the air, creating a surging wave.

The Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant and the Primordial Heaven Heaven-Crushing Staff!

The combined will of the three Martial Saints merged into Li Che's martial path.

Boom!!!

It was as if a mighty wind blew, carrying the roar of a dragon, gathering the swirling airflow and then exploding with force.

The Hundred Turns Worried Dream Rabbit Spirit Hare Temple Deity was actually suppressed by Li Cheng at the physical level!

Temple Deity... Invincible among peers?

That's until they meet Li Cheng!

His five fingers clenched, and the Golden Treasure Eight Treasures Thunder Dragon Staff appeared!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

Vital Aura Radiance entwined around the staff, and in an instant, countless thunderbolts danced and weaved together.

Fatal strike, Heaven-Piercing!

Li Cheng's first move was a fatal strike with the staff!

Countless staff shadows danced wildly in the air, finally gathering into one powerful strike. As it was drawn back, each staff shadow shattered the air currents with explosive force.

An explosion of white waves filled the sky!

It was as if...

The heavens and earth were being struck and shattered into collapse!

With one strike, the Hundred Turns Worried Dream Rabbit Spirit Hare Temple Deity's scarlet eyes froze, and a sense of horror surged forth.

A furious howl, and the sound waves shattered!

The Thunder Dragon danced wildly!

The muscular and robust Hundred Turns Worried Dream Rabbit Spirit Hare Temple Deity finally revealed a look of bewilderment.

Such a familiar strike!

Then, it was as if a thunderclap exploded before its eyes, causing the entire Wicked Pagoda to tremble.

But Li Cheng didn't give the Temple Deity a chance to react. He struck again.

Taking a mighty step forward, he instantly created five afterimages in the void, appearing before the Temple Deity.

With a long roar, the Bull Demon's black robe seemed to ignite with crimson light, like a molten furnace pouring out countless lava flames.

Ten Thousand Dragon Subduing Divinity!

His toes tapped the ground, almost causing the Wicked Pagoda's floor to cave in and fill with cracks.

An overwhelming aura rose again.

Countless dragon shadows exploded around the Wicked Pagoda, and numerous candle flames burned fiercely, causing the light and shadows within the temple to flicker incessantly.

The dazzling Vital Aura Radiance and Three Elements Divine Aura illuminated the entire cave.

As the light faded, on the altar, the Hundred Turns Worried Dream Rabbit Spirit Hare Temple Deity stood silently, with a cassia tree by its side.

Only Li Cheng's overwhelming Vital Aura Radiance remained, wreaking havoc and stirring up a storm.

The quality of the Wicked Pagoda was indeed impressive. Despite Li Cheng's powerful strikes, not even the blue bricks on the ground were shattered.

With Vital Aura Radiance entwining like dragons, Li Cheng, wearing the Bull Demon mask, stood tall like a tower, his cold gaze fixed on the Temple Deity.

"Invincible among peers..."

"It's nothing more."

Li Cheng exhaled.

The Three Elements Divine Aura was indeed formidable, even comparable to the power of the Temple Deity.

Li Cheng had confirmed what he needed and no longer pursued the Temple Deity.

This Hundred Turns Worried Dream Rabbit Spirit Hare Temple Deity also seemed willing to continue the fight.

As long as it wasn't shattered by this barbaric mortal, it would remain invincible among its peers.

Suddenly, the Bull Demon mask on Li Cheng's face split open, revealing his third eye!

"Star Plucking Eye!"

Endless analysis, soul absorption, and spirit extraction!

The flesh beneath the mask seemed to tear open on both sides, and an eyeball rolled, with golden light dripping like a curtain.

Li Cheng tapped his toes and appeared on the altar.

The Hundred Turns Worried Dream Rabbit Spirit Hare Temple Deity trembled with resistance, but Li Cheng released the suppression targeting the Heaven-Touching Face. He slowly extended his hand and placed it on the Temple Deity's head...

"Behave."

"Or I'll take you to meet the boss and let you taste spicy rabbit head."

Boom—!!!

Divine Ability.

Summoning Deity!

...

...

Outside the Hundred Turns Worried Dream Rabbit Spirit Hare Mystic Temple.

Two figures appeared almost simultaneously, landing at the edge of the Wicked Pagoda.

They were the Grand Marshal Wu Gang of the Temple Guardian Office and Elder Yun Taishan of the Yun Family.

Both had extremely powerful cultivation bases, but their faces showed surprise and solemnity.

This Seven Treasures Mystic Temple, though not their primary target, was a concern due to the main target being the Six Ministries Wanting Terror Jade Tower Cold Immortal Mystic Temple in the center of the lake behind the Hundred Turns Worried Dream Rabbit Spirit Hare Mystic Temple.

However, the sudden situation in this Mystic Temple also surprised them.

"What's going on?"

"Is it rebelling?"

Grand Marshal Wu Gang furrowed his brows.

Elder Yun Taishan was also perplexed. Why was the rabbit going crazy?

Suddenly, their expressions changed.

The Wicked Mist within the Wicked Pagoda suddenly expanded, rapidly growing larger.

Then, it seemed to transform into an infinitely expanding white ball!

"Damn it!"

Their eyes narrowed.

The next moment, Grand Marshal Wu Gang's body unleashed the Primordial True Divine Aura, dazzling and brilliant, as if splitting the Wicked Mist in two. He stomped his foot, causing the ground to collapse and fill with cracks and fissures.

Elder Yun Taishan, the Golden Body Zhenren, also took a step forward, and countless Divinities poured out from the brilliant Golden Body Primordial Spirit behind him, tearing through the Wicked Mist.

The two powerful figures shot into the Wicked Pagoda like bullets.

The thick fog rolled and swallowed them.

But...

Not long after, they burst out, escaping at full speed.

In the distance, it seemed like a green finger had torn through the Wicked Pagoda's barrier, descending upon the mortal realm.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

In the sky above, thick black clouds had gathered, rolling and oppressive, as if about to crush the world, making it hard to breathe.

Boom, boom—

A torrential spring rain poured down.

Grand Marshal Wu Gang and Elder Yun Taishan, disregarding their disheveled state, blasted out of the Mystic Temple's range, slamming into the ground and rolling around.

Both forgot to release their aura to block the rain.

Soaked to the bone by the rain, they were covered in mud, looking utterly miserable.

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of the divine envoys stationed at the Temple Guardian Office and the powerful cultivators of the Yun Family.

The sound of breaking through the air continuously echoed.

Figures tore through the rain curtain, crashing through the spring rain.

They saw the extremely disheveled Wu Gang and Yun Taishan.

Before they could even register their shock.

Slowly lifting their heads, they witnessed the Hundred Turns Worried Dream Osmanthus Rabbit Mystic Temple, which was...crumbling and collapsing, black tiles, red walls, and flying eaves all falling apart.

In the end...

It was swallowed by the wicked mist, vanishing without a trace.

Accompanied by a huge vortex swirling.

In the end...

This Seven Elements Mystic Temple suddenly disappeared from the world!

As if the strange temple, which had struggled to emerge from the Wicked Pagoda like a spring bamboo shoot, had fallen back.

Everyone was stunned.

Wu Gang, disregarding the mud and rainwater on his clothes, stood in the empty space where the Wicked Pagoda, wicked mist, and the mystic temple had all vanished.

His entire body felt chilled to the bone.

"Something's happened..."

"It's a huge matter!"

...

...

Thunder Listening Lane, the independent workshop courtyard.

The spring rain was torrential.

In an instant, Li Cheng maintained his grip on the Flying Thunder Chess Piece, holding it in his palm. His entire body emerged from the Spirit Hare Mystic Temple.

Removing his mask and putting away his hat.

Li Cheng sat under the eaves, exhaling a warm breath.

Above the Heavens, thunderclouds rolled, as if the heavens were enraged, seemingly angered by someone.

Li Cheng's gaze became solemn, his fingers clenched tightly, and cold sweat formed in his palm.

"Again...it's the green finger."

"Tearing through the Wicked Pagoda and descending, as if this heaven and earth could not tolerate it..."

"It's terrifying, if it hits me, my physical body will likely explode into a blood mist instantly."

Li Cheng didn't even need to sense it; the trembling of the five Dao Fruits was enough to make him understand the horror contained within that finger! It was as if it held power not of this world!

"I summoned the temple deity, and the mystic temple collapsed? It's not...as if it lost its support, falling back into the Wicked Pagoda, I think I saw the temple being smashed to pieces by a terrifying force."

Li Cheng closed his eyes.

The Dragon Elephant Vajra and Chess Sage Dao Fruits were constantly pulsating.

"What's in the Wicked Pagoda...?"

"Are the Wicked Pagodas interconnected?"

Li Cheng opened his eyes.

These doubts were more obscure than the wicked mist, clouding his mind and preventing him from making clear judgments.

"Hu—"

"Xi—"

In the courtyard, a deep breath and inhalation stirred the wind, dispersing the spring rain.

Li Cheng calmed his mind and opened his eyes, no longer pondering the strangeness and horror within the Wicked Pagoda.

"The mystic temple has disappeared...this matter is probably significant. If I continue to act as the second-rank guest minister of the Celestial Observatory, and the mystic temple disappears again, they will eventually trace it back to me."

In this world, the mystic temple had become a problem.

If they discovered that Li Cheng had the ability to make the mystic temple disappear...

Li Cheng couldn't imagine what he would eventually have to face.

"This won't do."

"I need to change my identity or infiltrate quietly..."

Li Cheng's eyes flashed as he began planning for the future.

After finishing his calculations.

Li Cheng's spirit stirred slightly.

Within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

Li Cheng's primordial spirit reflected within, and he opened his eyes to see the rabbit-headed female-bodied Spirit Hare Temple Deity standing on it, releasing a mighty temple deity's divinity, crushing the lines around the chessboard.

"I summoned you, as if there's another temple deity spying on me..."

Li Cheng looked at the Spirit Hare Temple Deity and spoke softly.

However, the temple deity didn't respond, as if it were a lifeless object.

Li Cheng didn't mind.

"Is this the Six Ministries Mystic Temple from the Wanting Terror Jade Tower Immortal Mystic Temple?"

Li Cheng muttered.

The Spirit Hare Temple Deity trembled for a moment but soon calmed down, confirming Li Cheng's guess.

Such an honest rabbit wouldn't deceive him with a fake tremor, would it?

"The Six Ministries Mystic Temple..."

Li Cheng's eyes narrowed, and the temple deity within the Six Ministries Mystic Temple likely possessed the strength of a Primordial Great Grandmaster and a Golden Body True Man, perhaps even stronger.

It depended on the rank of the mystic temple.

For Li Cheng, the danger of the Seven Elements Mystic Temple was still manageable, but the danger of the Six Ministries Mystic Temple was significantly greater.

Li Cheng sat cross-legged under the eaves, and the rainwater dripped, forming a continuous line.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, shaking endlessly.

Li Cheng's mind stirred.

Within the Niwan Inner Vision, one divine foundation after another unfolded from his back, resembling a peacock spreading its tail!

"Hundred Turns Worried Dream Osmanthus Rabbit...can enter the Worry Divine Foundation."

Li Cheng closed his eyes.

The next moment.

The power of summoning deities erupted, and invisible divine essence threads seemed to establish a connection, bursting forth from the divine foundation and wrapping around the Spirit Hare Temple Deity.

Slowly, bit by bit, it pulled towards the divine foundation.

The Spirit Hare Temple Deity could no longer sit still, unwilling to submit easily like the Fire-Eyed Divine Shocking Sacred Ape.

It didn't want to be confined within the Worry Divine Foundation!

It struggled, trying to break free from the power of summoning deities!

Li Cheng's expression remained unchanged, cold and ruthless.

In his domain, it still dared to rebel?

The Heaven-Touching Face instantly shifted, and his primordial spirit slowly covered his face.

In an instant, the terrifying divine essence rank pressure poured down from the Heaven-Touching Face!

Countless golden monkey hairs sprouted, and the next moment, his primordial spirit transformed into a true ape, floating down towards the temple deity.

Without hesitation, he struck out with a punch!

The Spirit Hare Temple Deity let out a scream!

Hu—!

The punch landed, and the wind howled!

The entire Heaven and Earth Chessboard seemed to light up with dazzling fist light, and with just one punch, it seemed like the entire chessboard would be torn apart!

However...

Just as the fist wind began to stir, it hung in front of the limp Spirit Hare Temple Deity.

The fist's momentum surged, and it naturally vanished without a trace.

The ripples dissipated, not even a single wave was stirred.

Li Cheng's eyes widened as he witnessed the weight of the punch being lifted with ease.

The fist, covered in monkey fur, hovered above the head of the Rabbit Temple Deity, and its five fingers slowly opened, unmoved by the wind and rain, as if all power had been erased. The monkey fur gently swayed.

It lightly landed on the head of the Spiritual Rabbit.

Slowly, without a hint of violence.

The Rabbit Temple Deity's eyes moistened, and it stopped struggling, allowing the power of the Divine Foundation's Summoning Deity to pull and merge with it!

However, to fully merge with the Rabbit Temple Deity and complete the Divine Form carving, more time was needed.

Suddenly, Li Cheng, who had been sitting quietly under the eaves of the courtyard, listening to the sound of the spring rain, abruptly opened his eyes.

His face seemed to be covered by a Monkey God mask, and golden monkey fur began to grow, soon covering his entire face.

Boom—! Li Cheng's spine trembled, and a round of Untainted Heart Divine Foundation emerged from his back, rising quietly like a bright moon over the sea.

Then, as the Divine Foundation turned, another change occurred.

On it was a True Ape, its chest pounded by a violent fist, seemingly engraved in seal script!

Heaven and Earth Mimicry Divine Brightness True Ape Divine Foundation!

Transformed by the Untainted Heart Divine Foundation!

Li Cheng's eyes widened, and his entire body was engulfed in a raging storm of divine essence.

"Success!"

The Temple Deity from the Heaven-Touching Face had completely merged with the Untainted Heart Divine Foundation!

Untainted Heart Divine Foundation...

About to enter the Divine Form!

Li Cheng's face was filled with flying monkey fur, and he burst into a dazzling smile.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard enveloped the area.

He took a step and his body floated into the center of the courtyard, where countless torrential raindrops fell wildly.

Boom—!!! Li Cheng clenched his five fingers, and his Primordial Spirit burst forth with brilliance. His Divine Perception seemed to transform into an incredibly sharp long sword.

Li Cheng's entire body was swept by Martial Dao Will, and the Dragon Elephant Vajra, Ten Thousand Dragon Subduing Divinity, and Primordial Heaven Heaven-Crushing techniques erupted.

His essence qi burned, his flesh swelled, and his muscles knotted like twisted iron.

The three Martial Saint's true intents condensed into a Three Elements Divine Aura, twisting into a powerful force that rose like a coiling dragon, shattering countless raindrops!

The Divine Aura and Divine Perception combined, transforming into a sharp long sword that slashed fiercely at the Divine Foundation!

A clear ringing sound echoed, and invisible flames danced.

This round of Divine Foundation was incredibly resilient, with monkey fur covering Li Cheng's face, and his eyes shone with a dazzling golden hue.

He didn't give up; his essence qi was incredibly resilient, and he slashed fiercely at the massive Divine Foundation floating in the sky, almost covering the entire courtyard.

Bang—! Finally, a terrifying blast sounded.

The white Divine Foundation began to fall, and as it fell, it seemed to crash into the vast sea, causing a terrifying wave!

The True Ape's arm emerged, its monkey fur slowly appearing, and its five fingers clenched into a fist.

Powerful divine essence surged and swirled, and the sky crackled with thunder and lightning, as if the thunderbolts were drawn towards Li Cheng's courtyard.

Fortunately, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard provided cover, as if deceiving the heavens!

Boom—!!! The terrifying blast shattered the air.

Countless white Untainted Heart Divine Foundation fragments exploded.

Finally...

The True Ape Divine Form's final ape head was revealed, with its raised arms, clenched fists, and knotted muscles on its chest, resembling pure and tough iron.

Truly, it hated the sky and earth with unyielding fury.

Boom—!!! Finally, as the ape god's head was carved out of the Divine Foundation.

It was as if the most terrifying taboo in the world had returned to life.

Amidst the heavy leaden clouds, a thunderbolt tore through the spring rain, striking horizontally.

It pierced through the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, like heavenly punishment, and struck the True Ape Divine Form!

However, the True Ape Divine Form remained unscathed, with only azure lightning arcs flickering, and its five hooked fingers seemed to grasp a Heavenly Thunder Divine Staff!

It was raised high into the sky!

Boom—!!! Li Cheng continued to release Divine Auras, striking and slicing at the Divine Foundation, performing the final delicate carvings and completing the details of the Divine Foundation's fragmentation.

Carving was his specialty.

But carving the Divine Foundation was indeed no easy task.

Boom—!!! As the last piece of the Divine Foundation shattered into dust, Li Cheng's heart trembled as he stared at the Untainted Heart Divine Foundation remains, grasping the thunderbolts and revealing the True Ape Divine Form, which floated above his head.

At this moment, a fierce gale blew, and the massive True Ape Divine Form seemed to come alive, its eyes flashing with a mix of ancient wisdom and vitality.

It lowered its head, looking at Li Cheng, who seemed to wear the Heaven-Touching Face.

Li Cheng clenched his five fingers.

He raised his fist and gently pushed it forward.

The True Ape Divine Form also lowered its massive fist.

One large, one small.

Their fists met.

It was as if the eternal True Ape and a small mountain monkey had crossed through time to meet.

This Divine Form, bearing the Temple Deity, embodied the will of Heaven-Touching!

Perhaps...

It was the strongest Divine Form of this era!
