Chapter 358 Witnessing Equaling Heaven Obtains the Spirit Monkey Mask, Divine Eye Sees No More Huaguo Mountain [Request for Monthly Ticket]_4

A bead-like eye rotated swiftly, a faint golden smoke diffusing from the pupil.

As the Thousand Analyzing Hands were promoted to Star Plucking Pupil, he drew upon the Temple God Divinity and didnʼt even need to leap onto the altar or stretch out his hand to touch it.

He merely needed to make eye contact with the Temple Godʼs eyes.

Hum—

Streaming light burst forth, falling upon the Fire-Eye Mystical Awe Spirit Monkey.

The very next moment.

Li Che saw that the statue of the Temple God seemed to come back to life.

The eyes of the Spirit Monkey blazed, sweeping a glance that appeared to echo the monkeyʼs call between heaven and earth!

Li Che felt a moment of haziness before his eyes.

It was as if everything around him had changed.

As if his mind had shifted from the external world to the Heaven and Earth chessboard!

In an instant.

The colors of heaven and earth changed.

...

...

Boom!

Outside the Mysterious Temple.

An incense burner lay quietly, three incense sticks burning silently, their smoke rising straight up.

Suddenly.

Qi Yanghao abruptly opened his eyes, his hands crossed on his chest, his gaze sharp.

He stared at the smoke column rising from the three incense sticks.

He noticed that the rising smoke column first swayed to the left and then twisted towards the right.

As if it was torn apart by air currents blowing from both sides!

Qi Yanghaoʼs hairs stood on end, he turned his head to both sides, only to see the separated fog of Strange Que gradually closing.

Qi Yanghao could even see the Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses faintly visible within Strange Que... and all sorts of bewildering illusions!

”This isnʼt right!”

”Why is Strange Que closing ahead of schedule?!”

”Isnʼt it supposed to wait until the three incense sticks burn out?”

Qi Yanghao was startled.

His heart trembled with shock!

A sudden outbreak at the Mysterious Temple!

An outbreak without any warning!

It was known that the procedure for the Qintian Observatoryʼs Guest Elders entering the temple had always been this way!

”This is bad!”

Qi Yanghao hurriedly rushed to the incense burner.

He started screaming at the many Guest Elders who were still contemplating the Temple God inside the Mysterious Temple.

”Wake up!”

”Retreat!”

However, those Guest Elders seemed to be completely immersed in some bizarre illusion.

His shouting was to no avail!

”Damn... what on earth is happening?”

Chief Qi Yanghao looked distressed.

But he could not care anymore.

He even didnʼt have time to grab the incense burner and directly burst into a run, his blood surging as he sprinted toward the closing curtains of Strange Que outside.

Whoosh—

In the final moment, as the two sides of Strange Que crashed together like massive waves.

Chief Qi Yanghao finally dashed out.

In the distance.

Gongyang Liancheng and Gong Yunliʼs faces immediately changed, rushing over.

”Whatʼs happened?!”

Gongyang Liancheng asked urgently.

After landing, Qi Yanghao stood up, brushed the dust off his official robe, and placed one hand on his side knife.

His eyes were frosty cold.

”What else could it be?”

”The Mysterious Temple...”

”Erupted.”

...

...

Shouts, flames, and explosions!

Li Che opened his eyes, only to see a scene of devastation, a palace crumbling apart, countless stones flying and collapsing.

On the ground, densely packed, were all the bodies of monkeys...

Scattered across the ground, the thick stench of blood filled the space between heaven and earth.

Li Che, uncontrollably looking up, saw the sky above.

A bright red cape billowed, a figure with two long feathers flapping atop the head, clad in the Golden Xuanling Armor, wielding a golden Divine Staff, its might overwhelming, as if the flow of clouds in heaven and earth was overturning for it.

Opposite the figure, dense dark clouds churned, atop which countless figures stood imposingly, their spirit shaking the heavens, oppressive and stifling!

Too far away.

Unable to hear the conversation between the two sides.

All he could hear was a desolate laughter that suddenly shook heaven and earth!

A heart full of desolation, endless sorrow...

Li Che just raised his head for a glance.

He wanted to look again.

But he simply couldnʼt, no, it wasnʼt that he couldnʼt...

It was because the perspective he occupied at this moment was turning around, fleeing rapidly like a bolt of lightning.

As if adhering to the will of that Divine Monkey holding the Golden Staff, opposite the endless bizarre strength.

Survive...

A great sadness spread, his eyes blurred, breaking the scene.

Countless streaks of fire ignited, turning into dripping flames like tears!

Like a tearful Spirit Monkey, dynamically leaping and dashing through the mountains and fields.

”Equaling Heaven—”

”Equaling Heaven!!!”

By his ear.

An endless frenzy of Spirit Monkeys, excited, roaring, exploded by Li Cheʼs ear in an instant!

Boom...

The endless perspective shattered completely.

Li Che felt a sharp pain.

The possessing Spirit Monkey, its perspective spinning wildly, finally, crashed hard to the ground.

He had already escaped to the foot of the mountain.

He strenuously, staggeringly crawled toward a standing...

A stone stele covered with burn marks and cracks.

Struggling, he raised his hand, his blood-soaked palm heavily slapped onto the stele.

Slowly, rubbing and pulling out a blood stain...

As if inscribing on the soul of the Spirit Monkey its deepest belonging.

Just because, the stele bore three characters.

”Huaguo Mountain.”

Drip, drip...

Flame-like teardrops trickled from his fiery eyes.

”But henceforth.”

”No more Huaguo Mountain.”

”No more Equaling Heaven.”

...

...

The scene fragmented.

The Brow Niwanʼs Star Plucking Pupil in Li Cheʼs forehead radiated endless fervor.

His eyes, opening and closing, slowly opened.

Unknowingly, his cheeks had been moistened by tears.

Li Che was still in shock.

Touched his wet cheeks.

Felt as if he had not recovered from the scene he had just witnessed.

What was that?

The obsession of the Temple God?

But he hadnʼt intended to view the obsessions of the Temple God...

He only intended to absorb the Divinity Chess Piece of the Temple God.

Why?

Why could he see the lingering obsession of the Temple God?

Was it because of the Divine Skill ”Star Plucking”?

Li Che did not know, couldnʼt figure it out, and didnʼt think about it.

Suddenly.

Within his chest, the Chess Saintʼs Dao Fruit throbbed!

His mind abruptly immersed into the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

Only to see...

Quietly floating above the interlocking lines of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard... Your journey continues at

A Spirit Monkey Mask.
