The Temple God Resonance abruptly concluded as the Underworld Divine Monkey, masked and wielding the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod, surpassed all competitors to reach the city gates, achieving over 90% completion despite not being of the Demon Race. Eyes turned to the emerging Three Pure Ranks Divine Warrior Treasure Stick on the Inner City walls, igniting fierce desires among the powerful figures, particularly the Black Bull Demon God who coveted it for his ascent. With the Inner City gates now open, a monk from the Western Regions Buddha Land and the enigmatic Huang Mei incited the crowd, leading monks from Little Lingyin Temple and others to rush forward, while Lv Taibai urged his companions to observe cautiously amid the unfolding chaos.

Boom—!!!

A massive surge of aura burst forth, as divinity, qi-blood, and Dao Yun wildly rampaged through the skies in front of Qi Tian City's Inner City, seemingly overpowering the enigmatic fog entirely.

Cultivators from Little Lingyin Temple charged at the forefront, their Divine Tribulation monks' robes billowing dramatically, overtaking even the stirred Demon Race experts and reaching the Divine Monkey's position first.

Masked Li Che tilted his head slightly, eyeing the fiery-passionate cultivators of Little Lingyin Temple as they stormed into the pitch-black entrance of the Inner City.

Huang Mei kept his gaze locked on Lord Li Che, since it was Li Che's orders that had him lure those Little Lingyin Temple cultivators to charge in ahead.

Both Huang Mei and Li Che hadn't anticipated such positive outcomes.

Naturally, the key factor was the monks from the Western Regions Buddha Land stepping in to provoke them.

Dong—!

Dong dong dong—!!!

Abruptly, a deafening rumble echoed from the shadowy gate entrance, like a shockwave rippling through the atmosphere in powerful waves!

These were the war drums, evoking images of ancient temples atop snow-capped peaks where bare-chested deities pounded them with sweat-drenched vigor!

Roar—!!!

Thick waves of death qi and corpse qi exploded outward!

The initial wave of Little Lingyin Temple intruders emerged covered in blood, hurled back outside!

Their gazes showed utter disbelief!

“It’s the Cursed Corpse! A large number of Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses!”

Bam—!!!

From the gaping dark city gate, torrents of death qi and corpse qi blended with the mysterious fog, flooding out like a dam breaking!

In an instant, it fanned out over three hundred feet in front of Qi Tian City's Inner City!

Wave after wave of bloated, grotesque Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses appeared in varied stances.

Some even donned ancient robes, revealing their past as disciples of Equal Heaven Temple in its glorious era!

The elite forces of Little Lingyin Temple bore the brunt of the Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses' aggressive assault, enduring heavy casualties.

Even the Divine Tribulation Realm old monk's face turned ashen-gray, apparently tainted by the corpse poison from the Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses, his aura swiftly diminishing.

This happened because he clashed with a One Disaster and Three Tribulations Realm Temple Guardian Cursed Corpse, taking a single strike infused with the deadly poison.

Yet Li Che remained stationed three hundred feet from the gate, utterly unaffected by the death qi and corpse qi pouring from the Inner City.

The horde of Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses swept past him like an ocean tide, completely overlooking his presence.

Li Che understood this stemmed from the perks of achieving Temple God Resonance.

The reward for grasping the perfect moment.

Li Che burst into unrestrained laughter—was this a boon from Equalling Heaven?

He lifted his hand to shield the flawless Equal to Heaven’s Face; from Li Che's throat came increasingly wild chuckles.

“Everyone... then I shall go ahead.”

He pivoted slowly, the golden monkey fur on the Divine Monkey Mask igniting like flames, gripping the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod with arms at rest, eyes swirling with golden mist, exuding wild freedom!

His toes barely tapped the ground, and under the furious glares of numerous powerhouses, the Divine Monkey morphed into a streak of light, leaping straight into the inky-black gate of Qi Tian City's Inner City, which resembled a portal to the Netherworld.

Black Bull Demon God Venerable wielded the Sea-crossing Purple Gold Beam like a massive palace pillar, slamming it down powerfully to force a Temple Guardian Cursed Corpse targeting his aura to retreat unsteadily.

This One Disaster and Three Tribulations Realm Temple Guardian Cursed Corpse proved formidable, yet Black Bull Demon God Venerable was a Second Calamity Realm powerhouse after all.

Among the Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses here, the mightiest reached only One Disaster Three Tribulations Realm, presenting no real danger to him.

Therefore, Black Bull Demon God Venerable stayed composed.

His scarlet eyes, large as copper bells, stared intently at the Divine Monkey vanishing into the gate, wishing for a more potent Temple Guardian Cursed Corpse—perhaps even a Two Disasters Realm one—to emerge from within and drive the Divine Monkey back out.

Regrettably...

No such thing occurred.

Mere breaths elapsed.

The gate entrance stayed silent and pitch-dark, with no sign of the Divine Monkey after entering.

A sudden unease gripped Black Bull Demon God Venerable.

He threw his head back in a prolonged roar, signaling four One Disaster and Three Tribulations Realm Demon Gods to surge forward, joined by twelve others in a unified assault.

“Follow my lead and storm the Inner City of Qi Tian City! The legacy of Equal Heaven Temple, bequeathed by Qitian Demon Saint and safeguarded by our Demon Race for five centuries, cannot end up with outsiders!”

“We, the Demon Race, have protected Qi Tian City for five hundred years; shall we let others reap all the benefits?!”

Black Bull Demon God Venerable bellowed fiercely; his voice rippled outward, distorting space itself, as the immense disaster tribulation force blasted the One Disaster Three Tribulations Realm Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses scattering in disarray.

Bam—!!!

Hoisting the Sea-crossing Purple Gold Beam, Black Bull Demon God Venerable barreled toward Qi Tian City's Inner City!

Trailing the Divine Monkey, Black Bull Demon God Venerable burned with desire for the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel, determined not to allow this divine Treasure Stick to be claimed by the Divine Monkey!

The chaos erupted with shocking speed, the battle's intensity surpassing all anticipations.

War drums boomed relentlessly from Qi Tian's Inner City, as endless Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses shrouded in death qi and corpse qi poured out like a dark flood!

In a mere heartbeat, some cultivators had already fallen prematurely!

It was a Divine Fetus Great God—the same one Huang Mei had first lured—who, charging into the Inner City alongside Little Lingyin Temple’s Divine Fetus Great Gods and already badly wounded, got ripped apart by a Temple Guardian Cursed Corpse!

“Why are there so many Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses?”

“Something’s wrong! Totally off—such a massive horde of Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses inside Qi Tian City's Inner City... could the entire ancient legacy of Qi Tian City have transformed into Cursed Corpses?!”
