Chapter 448: The Resonance of the Temple Gods in Qitian Weird Temple, Feeding the Dao Fruit to the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (Part 2)
.. we have arrived."
Li Che's eyes flickered with a dazzling light.
As if in the distance, countless flashes of deadly lightning intertwined without cease!
Within his chest, the Dao Fruit of the Chess Sage throbbed incessantly.
Boom, boom, boom!
The soundless wind, all the noises in the world became quiet and serene in his ears.
The Heavenly Chessboard spun and expanded, suddenly trying to envelop the entire majestic Qitian City.
On the chessboard, a terrifying and vast aura continued to rise.
But after expanding the chessboard to cover half the city, it could not continue.
It should be known that his current Heavenly Chessboard could cover a range of nearly 800 li.
Enveloping the entire Qitian City was more than enough.
However, Qitian City seemed to possess a power that distorted the world, as if it didn't fully exist in the present, causing the Heavenly Chessboard to be unable to completely cover it.
As the flying sword hovered in the air, Lu Taibai stood at the forefront of the sword's aura, his body emanating a powerful sword intent that soared into the sky. With a single step, he left the flying sword, his sword intent rising to the heavens as he strode forward.
"Get out of here!"
A thunderous roar echoed.
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the walls of Qitian City, emitting a terrifying and dazzling aura that soared into the sky, like a divine sword, ready to cut down everything in its path.
It was a colossal white crane.
With a single flap of its wings, the black and white feathers transformed into a feathered robe that covered its body, turning it into a slender middle-aged man who also 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 aura rippled like a tidal wave, causing even space to ripple and wrinkle.
The aura of the divine tribulation raged and swirled, like a tide, like waves, above the sky, as if a calamity was about to manifest, shaking incessantly.
"This is a demon god comparable to the Martial God Realm, with an extremely powerful physical body. Indeed, it's not ordinary."
After a single clash, Lu Taibai, with his God Tribulation Realm cultivation achieved through the Divine Wind of the Three Disasters, couldn't gain any advantage over this crane demon.
"A newly ascended God Tribulation cultivator? No wonder, like a young bull unafraid of tigers..."
Without hesitation, Lu Taibai snapped his fingers, and a book appeared in his hand.
On the city tower of Qitian City, the crane demon narrowed his eyes, his hair flying, his body as sharp as a sword, staring at Lu Taibai with a sneer.
Then, his gaze shifted to the figures on the flying sword.
When he saw Lu Qiankun, the crane demon's eyes narrowed slightly, but when he saw Fang Hanchu, Li Che, and Xixi, the little ones,
The sneer on the crane demon's face became more pronounced.
"What is Qitian City? You've brought your whole family here..."
"Qitian City is now under our control. Go back to where you came from!"
"Otherwise, we'll kill you all and feast on your blood!"
The crane demon let out a long howl, and countless sword lights soared into the sky, as sharp as crane feathers.
The overwhelming killing intent was like a surging flood, his eyes red, filled with the desire for blood.
Lu Taibai furrowed his brows, his body radiating sword intent. He had come to test the waters of Qitian City, but it seemed that the city was much deeper than he had imagined.
Completely occupied by the demon race, just as others had thought, the human race needed to join forces to have a chance to enter Qitian City.
Otherwise, once the Shrine Resonance began, they might not even be able to enter the city, let alone have the opportunity and qualification to participate in the Shrine Resonance.
Qitian City had four gates, one each for the east, west, south, and north.
Each gate was guarded by a demon god, blocking the entrance to Qitian City for the Great Jing and the human race of the world.
Unless they launched a strong attack and broke through the gates, there was no way to enter Qitian City.
Otherwise, they could only wait for the demon race to open the city to them.
"These demons are from the 100,000 Demon River, not the 100,000 Demon River within the Odd Gates, but from the 100,000 Demon River in the present world, outside the borders of Great Jing, adjacent to Wushenshan, a demon kingdom. Most of the demons have been transformed by the divine essence of the Weird Temple."
"It's a 100,000 Demon River built to mimic the one in the Odd Gates..."
"However, because it's an organized force, these demons also know that they can't completely swallow up the opportunity of Qitian City."
"If they really provoke the human forces of Great Jing, Great Li, and the Western Buddhist Land, who are already on bad terms, it won't be worth it."
Fang Hanchu stood on the flying sword, watching Lu Taibai's first attempt to test the waters of Qitian City, only to be blocked by the crane demon.
He was explaining to Li Che, but when he turned his head, he was slightly startled.
Because he found Li Che in a daze.
Sitting cross-legged on the flying sword, his eyes shone brightly, his breathing even slightly hurried.
As if he had seen a desired goal.
At this moment, within Li Che's chest, the Dao Fruit of the Demon Emperor was trembling incessantly, going wild.
The vast demonic energy of the crane demon was almost enough to make the Dao Fruit of the Demon Emperor salivate.
Li Che's mind stirred slightly.
[Dao Fruit: Demon Emperor (Lv. 5, 50%)]
Although this Dao Fruit was obtained by Xixi when she was only seven years old, its efficiency was extremely fast. After killing the old dragon god, he absorbed a large amount of demonic energy from the old dragon god, gaining transformation and improvement.
This crane demon in the First Disaster and Tribulation Realm had an extreme attraction for Li Che.
Not only was it the attraction of demonic energy, but it also made Li Che feel that the second evil of the Ink-Spilling Ten Monsters should have a place.
However, whether it was suitable for the second evil position was hard to say.
"These demons are extremely cruel, treating humans as food... Outside the human forces of Great Jing, Great Li, and the Western Buddhist Land, the 100,000 Demon River is a place of demon rampage. The people there have almost been devoured by the demons..."
Fang Hanchu's voice was low.
Li Che narrowed his eyes slightly. Were demons so hateful? But he could also imagine that it was a racial grudge. Even between Great Jing and Great Li, there was constant fighting due to differences in race and region.
The great war did not continue to erupt, and Lu Taibai had only come to witness the arrogance of the demons occupying Qitian City.
And seeing it with his own eyes, he finally understood the extent of their arrogance.
The crane demon did not chase after them, because outside Qitian City, without the support of the weird mist, they would have to face the will of heaven and the tribulation, and the crane demon did not want to go out and face the lightning.
So, he watched as Lu Taibai and his group left.
Lu Taibai returned to the flying sword, his eyes shining with a mysterious light.
"That crane... has devoured countless humans, and its demonic aura contains the souls of countless deceased humans, striking fear into the hearts of all."
"It must be killed!"
Lu Taibai's eyes flashed with a fierce determination.
Li Che remained silent, his gaze fixed on the crane-like demon standing atop Heaven-Attaining City, its wings sharp as swords.
"Let's go."
The flying sword turned, ready to leave Heaven-Attaining City and head to Wuzhi Town for a rest.
However, just as the flying sword had turned its head—
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Heaven-Attaining City. The overwhelming demonic energy, a dark gray hue, surged upwards, layer upon layer, causing even the sky to seem distorted.
Countless waves of demonic energy piled up above Heaven-Attaining City, gradually forming an enormous, hideous bull's head.
The bull's mouth opened, emitting a deafening roar that tore through the sky. Shockwaves rippled out, sweeping towards the outside of Heaven-Attaining City with madness.
Even space seemed to buckle under the strain, as if fine cracks were appearing everywhere.
Lu Taibai's face paled in horror, and not just him; on the flying sword, Lu Qiankun and Fang Hanchu's pupils constricted.
"This is... a Divine Tribulation Honored One at the Second Disaster realm! A Yao Shen Zun of the Yao Zu!"
A thunderous rumble shook the air.
The terrifying aura surged like a raging tide, and the colossal bull's head, seemingly in competition with the heavens for brilliance, was filled with an aura of ferocity and evil.
"Is that the black bull from the 100,000 Demon River?"
"A Yao Shen Zun at the Second Disaster realm! Indeed, there's a Yao Shen Zun of the Yao Zu hidden within Heaven-Attaining City!"
"Damn it, are they going to block all our paths into the city?"
"Is the Yao Zu really going to swallow up and completely occupy Heaven-Attaining City, seizing this heaven-sent opportunity?"
...
At the moment the aura erupted—
Wuzhi Town.
Many powerful cultivators in Wuzhi Town, who had been keeping a close eye on Lu Taibai's group, suddenly sensed the situation and soared into the sky, gazing towards Heaven-Attaining City.
Lu Taibai's test of Heaven-Attaining City had actually summoned a Yao Shen Zun at the Second Disaster realm from the Yao Zu!
Just a simple test, and the Yao Zu was making such a commotion, giving them no chance at all.
This was too much!
Crack! Crack!
In the sky, black clouds piled up, hanging low like flowing water.
Countless bolts of lightning flashed and raged between the clouds, illuminating the heavens and earth with a dazzling light, as if the will of the heavens had been provoked, unleashing a furious roar.
Accompanied by the sound of rippling waves, an incredibly powerful pressure suddenly burst forth from Heaven-Attaining City.
An overwhelming sense of oppression surged and intertwined.
The raging momentum pressed down, like a tidal wave, causing the space to almost shatter.
On the flying sword, Lu Taibai and Lu Qiankun's bodies tensed.
Li Che's eyes burned with intensity, fixed on the massive black bull's head, seemingly as large as a mountain, enveloped in the endless demonic energy.
The Wan Yao Di Dao Guo in his chest cavity was so excited that it almost made him drool.
But Li Che took a deep breath.
So powerful!
Is this the strength of a Divine Tribulation cultivator at the Second Disaster level? However, at this moment, another name flashed into Li Che's mind.
How does this bull compare to the Great Supervisor? When the Great Supervisor first appeared in the Divine Capital, the pressure he exuded was even more terrifying.
The giant black bull's head hovered in the air above Heaven-Attaining City.
The crane demon on the city gate had long since bowed and saluted respectfully.
The black bull's head scanned the area, landing on the flying sword, and then turned towards the mountains of Wuzhi Town, where countless powerful cultivators from Dajing, Dali, and the Western Buddhist Lands had gathered.
In its house-sized, scarlet eyes, a glimmer of wisdom seemed to shine.
"Human cultivators from all over the world have gathered at Heaven-Attaining City..."
"Although Heaven-Attaining City has already been occupied by my 100,000 Demon River, I, as a bull, have sensed the will of the Temple God and received the guidance of the Heaven-Attaining Temple God. Therefore, I will open the gates of Heaven-Attaining City to all."
"As long as you pass the tests set by me, the old bull, you can enter Heaven-Attaining City..."
As soon as these words were spoken, they spread like waves in all directions.
For a moment, the heavens and earth seemed to quieten.
The hearts of many powerful cultivators were filled with awe and excitement.
Among them, many had been in Heaven-Attaining City for some time.
They had all been stationed in Wuzhi Town, and some had tried to enter Heaven-Attaining City, but all had failed. After all, the Yao Zu had been planning in Heaven-Attaining City for five hundred years. Originally, only a Yao Wang guarded the city, but with the city's strange changes, a Yao Shen now presided over it.
Even a Divine Tribulation cultivator would find it difficult to break through and kill their way in.
Buzz—
The space rippled.
The Divine Tribulation cultivators' eyes flashed as they looked towards the terrifying black bull Yao Shen, as large as a mountain, releasing a formidable pressure in the sky above Heaven-Attaining City.
The giant bull's eyes swept over them.
It burst into laughter.
"Heaven-Attaining City has four major gates: the East Gate, facing the East Sea, is occupied by our Yao Zu. The other three gates, the North Gate, West Gate, and South Gate, are open to all of you!"
"As long as you defeat our Yao Zu gatekeepers, you can enter the city!"
"Of course, our Yao Zu of the 100,000 Demon River upholds the will of Heaven-Attaining City and is understanding of humans. We have set up two gatekeepers at each gate: a Yao Shen and a Yao Wang, corresponding to your different cultivation levels."
"If a Divine Tribulation cultivator wants to enter, they must defeat a Yao Shen. If a Jue Dian God wants to enter, they must defeat a Yao Wang."
"We have set the conditions, and if you can't enter the city, don't blame us for not following the rules!"
"The Yao Zu, who upholds the will of Heaven-Attaining City, always follows the rules!"
The black bull's voice boomed like an ancient temple bell atop a snowy mountain, its powerful sound waves unsettling the hearts of all who heard it.
After the speech concluded—
On the flying sword—
Li Che's eyes flickered.
Could this black bull Yao Shen be trying to lure human cultivators into a trap? But it shouldn't be that bad...
After all, this black bull Yao Shen had spoken in the name of Heaven-Attaining City.
With the resonance of the Heaven-Attaining Temple's Temple God imminent, using Heaven-Attaining City'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 Di Dao Guo in his chest began to stir again.
Li Che calmed the Wan Yao Di Dao Guo while contemplating.
This constant restlessness of the Wan Yao Di Dao Guo wasn't a good thing.
He needed to find a solution...
To satiate the Wan Yao Di Dao Guo.
