Chapter 448: The Resonance of the Temple God in the Qitian Wicked Temple, Feeding the Dao Fruit to the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (Part 2)
The Celestial Chessboard expanded and spiraled, attempting to envelop the entire majestic Qi Tian City.
On the chessboard, a formidable and awe-inspiring aura rose continuously.
However, the Celestial Chessboard had only expanded halfway into the city before it reached its limit.
It was worth noting that his Celestial Chessboard, at its maximum range, could cover an area of nearly eight hundred li.
Enveloping the entire Qi Tian City was well within its capabilities.
Yet, Qi Tian City seemed to possess a power that distorted space, as if it didn't fully exist in the mortal realm, making it impossible for the Celestial Chessboard to completely cover it.
As the flying sword hovered in the air, Lu Taibai stood at the forefront of the sword qi, his body exuding a sword aura that soared into the sky. With a single step, he exited the flying sword, his sword qi pointing towards the heavens as he strode forward.
"Get out of here!"
A thunderous roar echoed.
On the city walls of Qi Tian City, a figure suddenly appeared, emanating a terrifying and dazzling aura that soared into the sky, like a divine sword ready to slash through everything.
It was an enormous white crane.
With a flap of its wings, the black and white feathers transformed into a feathered cloak, covering a middle-aged man with a slender build. He, too, exuded an extremely sharp sword intent.
Lu Taibai's eyebrows furrowed, and with a snap of his fingers, five divine swords appeared, clashing with the sword of the crane demon.
The sword qi rippled like tidal waves, causing even space to crumple and wrinkle.
The divine tribulation's aura raged and spiraled, like a relentless tide, as if a calamity was manifesting in the sky, shaking ceaselessly.
"This is a demon god comparable to the Martial Deity Realm. Its physical body is incredibly powerful and truly remarkable."
After a single clash, Lu Taibai, who had broken through the Divine Tribulation Realm with the Extinction God Wind, one of the Three Calamities, couldn't gain any advantage over the crane demon.
"A new divine tribulation cultivator? No wonder, a young bull is fearless..."

On the city tower of Qi Tian City, the crane demon narrowed its eyes, its hair fluttering in the wind, its body as sharp as a sword. It stared at Lu Taibai and let out a mocking laugh.
Then, its gaze shifted to the figures on the flying sword.
When it saw Lu Qiankun, the crane demon's eyes narrowed slightly, but when it saw Fang Hanshu, Li Che, and the young Xi Xi, its mocking laughter intensified.
The crane demon's face now wore an even more mocking expression.
"What does Qi Tian City think it is? Bringing your entire family here..."
"Qi Tian City is now under our control. Go back to where you came from!"
"Otherwise, we'll kill you all and feast on your blood!"
"Get lost!"
The crane demon let out a long cry, and countless sword lights shot into the sky, sharp as the feathers of a crane.
A torrent of murderous intent surged like a flood, its eyes reddening with the desire for blood.
Lu Taibai's eyebrows furrowed, his body enveloped in sword qi. He had come to test the waters of Qi Tian City, but it seemed that the city's depth exceeded his imagination.
As expected, the city was completely occupied by the demon race, just as others had assumed. For the human forces to enter Qi Tian City, they would have to join forces.
Otherwise, once the Temple God's Resonance began, they might not even get the chance to enter the city, let alone participate in the Temple God's Resonance.
Qi Tian City had four gates: East, West, South, and North.
Each gate was guarded by a demon god, blocking the entry of the Great Jing and the rest of the human world into Qi Tian City.
Unless they launched a full-scale attack and breached the gates, there was no way to enter the city.
Otherwise, they could only wait for the demons to open the city gates.
"These demons come from the Ten Thousand Great Rivers, not the Ten Thousand Great Rivers within the Wicked Quarters of the Divine Camp, but from the Ten Thousand Great Rivers in the mortal world. They are located outside the borders of the Great Jing and adjacent to the Divine Mountain, forming a demon kingdom. Most of these demons have been corrupted by the divine will of the Wicked Temple and have undergone transformations."
"They have constructed the Ten Thousand Great Rivers in imitation of the Wicked Quarters."
"However, since they are an organized force, these demons also understand that they cannot completely swallow up the opportunity that Qi Tian City presents."
"If they provoke the human forces of the Great Jing, the Great Li, and the Western Buddhist Lands, who are already at odds with each other, it would be a loss for them."
Fang Hanshu stood on the flying sword, observing Lu Taibai's first attempt to test the waters of Qi Tian City, only to be blocked by the crane demon.
He was explaining this to Li Che, but when he turned his head, he was slightly startled.
Li Che was daydreaming.
Sitting cross-legged on the flying sword, his eyes shone brightly, and his breathing quickened with anticipation.
It was as if he had caught sight of a long-desired goal.
At that moment, within Li Che's chest, the Dao Fruit of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor was trembling incessantly, raging with madness.
The overwhelming demonic energy of the crane demon seemed to tantalize the Dao Fruit of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor.
Li Che's mind stirred slightly.
[Dao Fruit: Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (Lv. 5, 50%)]
Although this Dao Fruit was obtained by Xi Xi when she was only seven years old, its efficiency in cultivation was exceptionally fast. After killing the old dragon god, Li Che absorbed a large amount of demonic energy from its body, leading to a transformation and enhancement.
This crane demon, a cultivator at the First Calamity and First Tribulation Realm, held a strong allure for Li Che.
It wasn't just the demonic energy that attracted him, but also the belief that the second evil of the Ink Ten Evils had found its rightful place.
However, whether it truly fit the position of the second evil was hard to say.
"These demons are extremely cruel, treating humans as their blood food. Outside the Great Jing, the Great Li, and the Western Buddhist Lands, the Ten Thousand Great Rivers are all places where demons wreak havoc. The human populations in those areas have been almost entirely devoured by the demons..."
Fang Hanshu's voice was low and solemn.
Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly. Were demons truly so hateful? But he could imagine the racial enmity between humans and demons. Even between the Great Jing and the Great Li, conflicts persisted due to differences in ethnicity and region.
Needless to say, the gap between humans and demons was even more pronounced.
The battle did not continue, as Lu Taibai had only come to witness the arrogance of the demons occupying Qi Tian City.
And now, he finally understood the extent of their arrogance.
The crane demon did not pursue them, as the area outside Qi Tian City lacked the protection of the Wicked Mist. Without it, they would have to face the will of heaven and the calamity, and the crane demon had no desire to venture out and risk being struck by heavenly lightning.
So, it watched as Lu Taibai and his group departed.
Lu Taibai returned to the flying sword, his eyes shining with a mysterious light.
"That crane... has devoured countless human souls, and its demonic aura contains the spirits of countless deceased humans, making it truly terrifying."
"It must die!"
Lu Taibai's eyes flashed with a fierce determination.
Li Che remained silent, only gazing deeply at the crane demon standing atop Qitian City, its wings like sharp swords.
"Let's go."
The flying sword turned, intending to leave Qitian City and head to Wuzhi Town for a rest.
However, just as the flying sword had turned its direction—
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from within Qitian City. The overwhelming demonic energy, colored grayish-black, surged upwards, one wave after another, reaching the sky and causing it to change color.
Countless waves of demonic energy piled up above Qitian City, gradually forming an enormous and hideous ox head.
The ox opened its mouth, emitting an ear-splitting sound that tore through the sky. Shockwaves rippled outwards, sweeping madly towards the outside of Qitian City.
The space seemed to bear the brunt, as fine cracks appeared everywhere.
Lu Taibai's expression changed drastically, and not just him; on the flying sword, Lu Qiankun and Fang Hanshu's pupils constricted!
"This... is a Divine Tribulation Cultivator at the Second Calamity realm! A Demon God of the Demon Race!"
Rumble—
The terrifying aura surged like a raging tide, and the colossal ox head, seemingly vying with the heavens for brilliance, was filled with a frightening demonic energy and malevolence.
"The black ox from the Ten Thousand Great Rivers?"
"A Demon God at the Second Calamity realm! Indeed, there's a Demon God of the Demon Race hidden within Qitian City!"
"Damn, is this going to block off all our paths into the city?"
"Is the Demon Race really going to swallow up and monopolize the opportunity that Qitian City presents?"
...
At the moment the aura erupted—
Wuzhi Town.
The numerous powerful cultivators in Wuzhi Town, who had been closely monitoring Lu Taibai's group, all sensed the situation and soared into the sky, their eyes fixed on the city.
Lu Taibai's probing of Qitian City had actually lured out a Demon God of the Demon Race at the Second Calamity realm!
Just a simple probe, and the Demon Race was making such a commotion, not giving them any chance at all.
This was too much!
Crackle, crackle—!!
The sky towered tens of thousands of meters high, and black clouds piled up, hanging low like flowing water.
Countless bolts of lightning rapidly surged and raged between the clouds, occasionally flashing and illuminating the heavens and earth with a dazzling brilliance.
It was as if the will of the heavens and earth had been provoked, emitting an angry roar.
Accompanied by the rippling waves of sound, an incredibly powerful pressure suddenly burst forth from within Qitian City.
An overwhelming sense of oppression surged and intertwined.
The mighty force pressed down, like a raging tide, causing the space to almost shatter.
On the flying sword, Lu Taibai and Lu Qiankun's bodies tensed.
Li Che's eyes also gleamed, fixated on the enormous black ox head enveloped in the endless demonic energy, resembling a towering mountain.
The Wan Yao Emperor Dao Fruit within his chest cavity was so excited that it almost made him drool.
However, Li Che took a deep breath.
What formidable power!
Is this the strength of a Divine Tribulation Cultivator at the Second Calamity level?
But at that moment, another name flashed through Li Che's mind.
Compared to the Grand Supervisor, how did this ox measure up?
When the Grand Supervisor first appeared in the Divine Capital, the oppressive feeling he gave off was even more terrifying.
The giant black ox demon's head hovered above Qitian City.
The crane demon on the city gate had already bowed and saluted respectfully.
The black ox demon's head scanned the area, landing on the flying sword, and then turned towards the densely packed cultivators from the Great Li Imperial Court, the Western Buddhist Kingdom, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Tower who had gathered at Wuzhi Mountain.
Within its enormous, house-sized scarlet eyes, a glimmer of wisdom seemed to shine.
"Noble cultivators of the human race, gathered here from all over the world..."
"Although Qitian City has already been occupied by my Ten Thousand Great Rivers, I, this ox, have sensed the Temple God's will and received guidance from the Qitian Temple God. Therefore, I will open the city gates of Qitian City."
"As long as you heroes from the various powers of the world pass the tests I have set, you will be allowed to enter Qitian City..."
As soon as these words were spoken—
It was as if waves and tides surged forth in all directions.
For a brief moment, the heavens and earth seemed to quiet down.
The hearts of many powerful cultivators were filled with astonishment as their minds clashed and intertwined.
Among them, many had arrived at Qitian City some time ago.
They had all been stationed in Wuzhi Town, and some had even tried to break into Qitian City, but all had failed. After all, the Demon Race had been planning in Qitian City for five hundred years. Initially, only a Demon King guarded the city, but with the city's strange changes, it had become a Demon God's domain.
Even for a Divine Tribulation Cultivator, entering the city was no easy task.
Buzz—
The space trembled.
The Divine Tribulation Cultivators' eyes flashed as they looked towards the terrifying, mountain-like black ox demon god hovering above Qitian City, releasing an oppressive aura.
The enormous eyes of the black ox demon god swept across the area.
It burst into laughter.
"Qitian City has four main gates: the East, West, South, and North Gates. The East Gate faces the East Sea, which we, the Demon Race, will occupy. As for the other three gates—the North, West, and South Gates—we will open them for you humans to enter!"
"If you want to enter the city, you just need to defeat our Demon Race gatekeepers!"
"Of course, my Ten Thousand Great Rivers of the Demon Race uphold the will of Qitian and understand human intentions. We will set up two gatekeepers at each gate: a Demon God and a Demon King, corresponding to your different cultivation levels."
"If a Divine Tribulation Cultivator wants to enter, they must defeat the Demon God. If an Ultimate God wants to enter, they must defeat the Demon King."
"We, the Demon Race, have set the conditions for you. If you can't enter the city, don't blame us for not following the rules!"
"The Demon Race, which upholds the will of Qitian, is the most rule-abiding!"
The voice of the black ox demon god boomed like the sound of an ancient temple bell ringing from the peak of a snowy mountain, with intense sound waves that disturbed the cultivators' minds.
After he finished speaking—
On the flying sword—
Li Che's eyes flashed.
This black ox demon god, could it be trying to lure human cultivators into a trap?
But it shouldn't be...
After all, this black ox demon god had spoken in the name of Qitian.
With the Qitian Wicked Temple's Temple God resonance about to occur, using Qitian's name for deception at this time would only be detrimental to the Temple God's resonance...
As these thoughts ran through his mind, the Wan Yao Emperor Dao Fruit in his chest cavity began to stir again.
Li Che calmed the Wan Yao Emperor Dao Fruit while also contemplating.
This Dao Fruit was always so restless, and he needed to find a way to feed it.
