Chapter 288: The Mysterious Temple's Mystery, A Mythical Armament is Born, and Tai Bai's Arrogant Ru
Chapter 288: The Mysterious Temple's Mystery, A Mythical Armament is Born, and Tai Bai's Arrogant Rules (Part 1)
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Terrifying tremors accompanied the towering, hundred-zhang-tall mysterious mist that swirled upwards.
The dense mist seemed to have increased in volume, as if the connection between the Mysterious Temple and reality had been torn open, creating a massive crack!
The thick mist hissed as it gushed out from the crack, like a volcano about to erupt, with hot air twisting and rising from the ground.
A majestic and broad figure, like a towering mountain, slowly emerged from the mist, its silhouette extremely blurry.
Boom!
It was as if the giant ape's foot had landed again, causing the entire ground to tremble. The land of Divine Carving Ridge seemed to ripple like water, forming layers of overlapping ripples.
The ground shook violently, the mountains trembled, and the trees swayed from side to side!
Inside Divine Carving Ridge.
Countless people were shocked, feeling a powerful chill that seemed to freeze their hearts.
The crowd, still immersed in the joy of the birth of a new Divine Crane Demi-Saint in Heavenly Origin Sect, was bewildered.
However, the Divine Carving Masters present were not weak either. In terms of cultivation, they were among the upper echelons of the Heavenly Origin Sect. After all, to become a Divine Carving Master, one's cultivation must be exceptional, and they would at least possess Yuan Xiang or Divine Essence cultivation.
Therefore, they quickly steadied their minds and gazed at the area outside Divine Carving Ridge with astonishment.
Lu Tai Bai had already soared into the sky.
Following him were the Inspector Hong Shi Fo, carrying the chessboard, Fang Han Shu, Gongshu Jingjun, and Ding Zi, all powerful Divination Embryo cultivators.
When these Divination Embryo cultivators sensed the disturbance through their Heaven-Earth Soul connection, the Second Elder Zhao Fang Zhou and the Great Elder Tang Xiejia, Martial Saints with a connection to the Heavenly Man, also felt the commotion. Their blood and energy roared, and they broke through the air.
They witnessed the strange phenomenon emerging from the Mysterious Temple that was suppressed by Divine Carving Ridge.
Crackle, crackle!
Electric currents surged, thunder rumbled, and thick black clouds gathered, with raging lightning swirling within, brewing a terrifying thunderbolt!
This was the brewing of a Demi-Saint Tribulation.
It represented the first time a Great Master crossed into the Demi-Saint realm and created a Demi-Saint-level mythical armament, triggering a tribulation from the heavens.
In reality, the conditions for triggering this tribulation were extremely harsh.
However, if one could survive it once, it would be like a label, and creating another Demi-Saint Divine Crane would no longer attract such targeted tribulations.
Nevertheless, for powerful cultivators like Lu Tai Bai, the Demi-Saint Tribulation was not a significant concern. What truly mattered to them was the Sage's Tribulation, the genuinely terrifying calamity.
As the tribulation brewed, the thick mist churned! It was as if heaven and earth were enraged at that moment, with thunder rolling like the heavens roaring at the mysterious mist rising from the Mysterious Temple.
Li Che, however, didn't pay much attention to the tribulation. To him, it was merely a snack. With his current physical body, enduring this tribulation was not a challenge, and even in terms of his divine nature, as his cultivation broke through to the Divine Essence realm and he condensed fifteen Golden Cores, Li Che felt even more relaxed, as if a weakness had been rectified.
The current Li Che felt incredibly powerful!
Hum!
His eyes flashed as he looked towards the outside of Divine Carving Ridge, his gaze inadvertently freezing, revealing a hint of astonishment.
Even from such a great distance, he could clearly see the enormous figure emerging from the mysterious mist.
The mist from the Mysterious Temple soared into the sky, like an avalanche pouring down from the peak of a mountain.
The Two-Hearted Great Sage of the Mysterious Temple?
Probably not...
The Temple Guardian?
Li Che's eyebrows furrowed, feeling a twinge of strangeness in his heart, but he also recalled something. He turned to look at the half-saint Divine Crane he had carved.
The vast and intense divine nature was imbued within the Divine Crane, and although it was carved from ordinary wood, it contained a divine essence that seemed ready to burst, no less impressive than a Divine Crane carved from spirit wood.
He couldn't help but think of his painting's divine clone, which had used its teleportation ability to glimpse the true form of the temple deity within the Mysterious Temple.
Could this be related to that?
Perhaps it was the sudden anomaly in Divine Carving Ridge that had dampened the excitement of the crowd, who were initially thrilled by Li Che's breakthrough to the half-saint Divine Crane.
One by one, they left the workshop area and gazed at the towering, dense mist.
"Is the Mysterious Temple about to riot?"
"The Two-Hearted Great Sage of the Mysterious Temple hasn't rioted in many years. Now, it suddenly erupts? Could it be related to Elder Li's carved half-saint Divine Crane?"
"Although the half-saint Divine Crane can replicate almost ninety percent of the temple deity's essence, it's unlikely to cause a riot in the Mysterious Temple. If that were the case, what's the point of carving half-saint Divine Cranes?"
"If Elder Li were a Divine Carving Sage, I would believe that the riot was caused by the Divine Crane. But Elder Li has just carved a half-saint Divine Crane."
Numerous Divine Carving Masters around them engaged in lively discussions.
Some suspected that the wooden statue carved by Li Che, which seemed to display three forms and essences of the Two-Hearted Great Sage, had attracted a powerful entity within the Mysterious Temple.
But upon further thought, they dismissed the idea, and a debate ensued.
Boom!
Just as the crowd was arguing.
The ground continued to shake, as if the earth itself was furious and about to crack open.
The massive foot landed, and the waves of energy swept across like a tide.
The figure, towering at a hundred meters, grew darker in the mist, and the oppressive pressure was overwhelming. The formidable aura of its rank swept through like a massive wave!
However, no one was worried.
The Temple Guardian and the evil creatures within the Mysterious Temple were unlikely to emerge from the areas not shrouded by the Mystic Tower.
This was why the many Wood Carving Masters who had come to spectate at Divine Crane Ridge were not overly concerned.
They were even intrigued, staring intently at the dark silhouette of a massive object behind the illusory mist, discussing what kind of wood to use, the carving proportions, and more...
They were genuinely unworried, as there were too many powerful individuals present.
The timing of the Temple Guardian's appearance was indeed inaccurate.
Aside from the Sect Lord, a renowned Divine Embryo Great Deity, there were also the Inspector of the Heaven Divination Bureau, the Inner Sect Great Elder, and other Martial Saint-level experts.
Nearly half of the Heavenly Origin Dao City's top-tier combat power was gathered here, ensuring there would be no danger.
Therefore, they found it more interesting to study the art of divine carving.
Buzz...
In the sky, the thunder seemed suppressed, not immediately falling.
The Sect Lord's wife, Xuan Qi Sha, did not join the crowd but brought Xi Xi to Li Che's side.
"Daddy!" Xi Xi jumped up and leaped into Li Che's embrace.
Li Che rubbed Xi Xi's head, and a smile appeared on his face, "Is Daddy amazing?"
"Amazing!" Xi Xi was delighted.
Although she wasn't very familiar with the path of divine carving and didn't know the significance of becoming a Divine Crane Demi-Saint, she had felt very upset earlier when everyone doubted her father's ability to achieve this. Now, with her father becoming a Divine Crane Demi-Saint, Xi Xi felt he was the coolest!
"We can stay here, nothing should happen... This disturbance in the Mysterious Temple might not be because of your divine carving, but it's unlikely. Even if it was a Sacred Hand Divine Carving, it would still require many carvings, and they would need to be placed according to specific directions to stimulate the temple's riot."
The Sect Lord's wife, Xuan Qi Sha, floated up, her arms crossed, looking quite stern.
"Oh, right, I lost the bet. Well done, you actually managed to carve a Demi-Saint Divine Crane. You're indeed worthy of being Xi Xi's father, very impressive."
Although she had lost the bet, the Sect Lord's wife was not the least bit unhappy, smiling as she praised Li Che.
Li Che's achievement as a Divine Crane Demi-Saint would greatly contribute to the growth of the Heavenly Origin Sect, which was her husband's sect and, by extension, hers as well.
"The Minor Immortal Heaven Five Thunder Shocking Death Talisman you requested is a divine talisman of the middle-ranked Five Elders, and it's not easy to draw. I'll also need some time to prepare, even though it's a minor version. I can't be careless."
"Also, this divine talisman's power is terrifying, so you must be careful and not misuse it."
The Sect Lord's wife, Xuan Qi Sha, looked at Li Che and spoke seriously.
Hearing this, Li Che, holding Xi Xi, bowed slightly.
"Thank you, Sect Lord's wife."
Xuan Qi Sha nodded in satisfaction.
Suddenly, everyone's hearts trembled, and they turned their heads towards the buildings outside Divine Crane Ridge.
They saw the dense, eerie mist.
From within the mist, a fierce roar echoed, like the Thunder God's anger from the Nine Heavens, accompanied by countless thunderbolts falling towards the mortal realm!
A violent howl burst from the mist, accompanied by an invisible shockwave, causing the mist to swell like a balloon being blown up!
An invisible barrier seemed to block the mist's spread, but the internal shockwave pushed against it, making the mist bulge like a plastic wrap balloon!
"Roar, roar, roar!!!"
A terrifying roar shattered the air!
Then, a golden iron staff seemed to transform into a curved blade, piercing the barrier!
Boom!
A muffled sound, and the barrier was torn open!
The dense mist burst forth with a hissing sound from behind the torn Mystic Tower membrane.
Then, a giant hand covered in monkey fur, like a fan, stretched out from the crack.
One on the left and one on the right, the two giant hands pulled hard to the sides!
A deafening explosion sounded like a mountain splitting in two!
The terrifying pressure of a high-level being seemed to pour out like a vast ocean, causing the entire Divine Crane Ridge to shake violently.
Crack!
The ground split, and fine cracks spread like a spider web from the direction of the Mysterious Temple!
Beyond the mist, a nearly hundred-meter-tall ferocious and vicious demon ape emerged, its hair flying, eyes bloodshot.
Its body was covered in writhing curse marks, resembling countless large tadpoles.
The giant iron staff, which had transformed into a long knife to cut through the mist, reverted to its original form and was gripped by the demon ape as it slowly pulled it out of the Mystic Tower.
Boom!
A giant foot covered in black monkey fur stepped out of the torn mist, stomping hard on the ground!
The ground instantly caved in!
Violent gusts and surging air currents rippled in all directions!
The demon ape's massive head seemed to want to tear open the dark clouds in the sky.
Dense death and corpse energies poured out from the torn mist of the Mystic Tower!
Boom, boom, boom!!!
Like a black tidal wave, it surged out!
The spiritual trees around the Mysterious Temple withered and died instantly.
The demon ape's bloodshot eyes surveyed the area, its body covered in flickering curse marks, as it dragged the massive iron staff...
Tilting its head, it looked towards Divine Crane Ridge.
Vaguely, it seemed to sense something, and its bloodshot eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of sorrow.
And then...
A mouth full of four sharp fangs opened, roaring out!
The sound waves seemed to ripple and reverberate, shattering the raindrops that fell from the leaden clouds!
The pressure... was suffocating.
Everyone's faces turned extremely ugly.
Lu Tai Bai's white robe was as pure as snow, and his silver hair whipped wildly in the wind, making him seem minuscule before the hundred-meter-tall giant ape.
He stood with his hands behind his back, hovering in mid-air, suspended before the Curse Corpse Demon Ape.
"Temple Guardian Curse Corpse King..."
"Upper Five Elders!"
Lu Tai Bai's body was slowly enveloped by rising sword aura, and his silver hair fluttered in the wind, accompanied by the dazzling buzzing of the raging sword aura.
"It's..."
"He's out of the Mystic Tower?!"
...
...
Heavenly Origin Dao City.
Dark clouds piled high, and heavy rain poured down.
The rain pounded on the green stone ground, creating ripples and splashing water, which bloomed with a loud splash, spreading a white mist that continued to expand.
Six Desires Exorcist Lu Xuan Sword Immortal Malevolent Temple.
Suddenly, the illusory mist tore open.
Feng Zhi Qi's robust body shot out from within.
He felt the Malevolent Temple trembling, and his heart stirred slightly.
Whoosh—
In the distance, a sound of breaking through the air echoed, and a figure landed gracefully.
It was none other than Yu Wen Wen Long, another governor of the Temple Affairs Department in Heavenly Origin Dao City.
"Mr. Feng, what happened?"
Yu Wen Wen Long asked in a deep voice.
His heavenly man's intuition was extremely intense, giving him a strong sense of shock and horror, making his hair stand on end.
Feng Zhi Qi glanced at Yu Wen Wen Long, his eyebrows furrowed.
Bending his knees, he shot up in the next moment, his powerful body shattering countless torrents of spring rain and soaring into the sky, reaching a height of several hundred meters.
Looking into the distance, he could see the direction of Divine Crane Ridge, shrouded in mist and rain.
A colossal figure appeared, towering over the mortal realm.
It was a hundred-meter-tall black giant ape!
"Temple Guardian Curse Corpse King!"
"A Temple Guardian Curse Corpse King?!"
Feng Zhi Qi's body trembled, and his eyes revealed an expression of utter shock.
On the other side, Yu Wen Wen Long also rose into the air, his face changing dramatically.
"Is this... the Temple Guardian Curse Corpse King from the Five Elders' Malevolent Temple on Divine Crane Ridge?! How... did it break out of the Mystic Tower?!"
"Is the Malevolent Temple rioting... out of control?!"
Feng Zhi Qi took a deep breath, "You guard the Sword Immortal Malevolent Temple, and I'll go take a look!"
After speaking, Feng Zhi Qi ignored the stunned Yu Wen Wen Long and left.
Feng Zhi Qi's blood energy surged, and as a Martial Saint expert, his powerful blood energy swirled around him like a crimson dragon, propelling him forward like an arrow released from a bowstring.
Yu Wen Wen Long remained frozen in his spot.
Why?!
It's his turn to guard the temple?!
He also wanted to see the commotion!
...
...
Within the Dao Lord's Mansion.
