The Heavenly King and Equaling Heaven...
Face to face!
Li Che had not expected that touching the Golden Heavenly King Statue would trigger such an accident!
The Mythological Weapon [Face of the Firmament], situated within the Heaven and Earth chessboard, seemed to activate automatically, like it was protecting its master, covering his face directly!
Numerous monkey hairs sprouted, and a majestic and grand will surged forth as if Equaling Heaven had descended, violently emerging in an instant.
Within the Heaven and Earth chessboard.
Li Che watched as the [Face of the Firmament] vibrated with intense ferocity.
Then, it swelled like a balloon, not just a mask anymore, it came to life, turning into a real simian figure.
A powerful aura billowed throughout the Heaven and Earth chessboard.
It caused all the Pure Heart Chess Pieces to clang and clatter.
The Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Mother-Child Seal, suppressed within, trembled with fear, its refining speed suddenly accelerated, and Li Che completely finished refining it.
But at this moment, Li Che simply couldn't care less about this minor detail.
His eyes were fixed on the scene reflected before him.
Inside the Golden Temple.
In an instant, countless clouds surged, winds and clouds stirred tumultuously, creating a boundless expanse that made the temple seem infinitely vast, with roiling mists and clouds like a vast ocean!
The Golden Heavenly King stood tall amidst the ocean of clouds like a towering tree reaching into the sky, dazzlingly golden, casting a brilliant glow like a mighty sun.
The tens of thousands of golden rays it shed were like countless sharp swords, spanning the ocean of clouds, severing the firmament!
The Heavenly King, with a bent body and angry eyes, held up the Treasure Pagoda, as if glaring at a bold individual who had the audacity to offend him!
And Li Che, now covered with the [Face of the Firmament], grew countless golden monkey hairs on his face while his dark robes fluttered wildly.
His eyes seemed to burst with golden light, as he fearlessly looked up, meeting the gaze of the Heavenly King!
"You impudent monkey!"
The Golden Heavenly King wielded the Golden Treasure Pagoda and shouted fiercely.
At once, the temple shook, rumbling thunderously, shaking and swaying continuously, with numerous clouds exploding like towering waves stirred by the ocean!
Li Che, within the Chess Saint's Dao Fruit.
His gaze was piercing.
He saw the Heavenly King's roar, while wearing the Face of the Firmament, it was as if he had transformed into Equaling Heaven himself, his legs bent sharply, propelling him upward, his hand reached out as if clutching a Golden Staff, drawn out from the stirring clouds!
"Ah... you impudent monkey..."
In front of the real Temple Gods, he was as insignificant as an ant.
Even the Furnace Grandmaster would only appear as a common ant to the Temple Gods; Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters were nothing but mortals to them.
"Never mind, these things are not for me to manage."
"I just need to grow stronger, enhance my foundation, ensure the safety of my wife and daughter, watch my daughter grow up, and pursue immortality..."
Li Che murmured softly to himself.
He took another step forward, his fingers once again fell on the Golden Heavenly King Statue.
A dark golden Golden Heavenly King Chess Piece.
Was immediately condensed and extracted by him.
And thunderously landed within the Heaven and Earth chessboard of the [Chess Saint] Dao Fruit.
The intersecting lines on the chessboard immediately curved under the pressure, as if space itself was distorted, with the strands of time flowing around the dark golden chess piece.
Li Che looked up, cautiously sensing the situation in all directions.
Based on his experience, at the moment he finished extracting the Temple God Chess Piece, the Heavenly King was probably already furious, about to kick down fiercely.
But this time, there was no reaction!
Had the Heavenly King's temper improved?
Allowing him to do as he pleased?
Li Che's eyes brightened.
The meeting between Equaling Heaven and the Heavenly King... seemed to have improved the Heavenly King's impression of him somewhat.
Li Che felt elated, pressed his palm on the Heavenly King Statue again, and extracted another Temple God Chess Piece!
When the second dark golden Heavenly King Chess Piece was drawn out by him.
The Heavenly King moved at once.
The thunderous sound vibrated throughout the entire Divine Palace.
Li Che's eyes hardened, without hesitation, grasped the Thunder Chess Piece.
Time to beat a hasty retreat!
Alright, as expected, the so-called good impression... was all an illusion.
However, retrieving two dark golden Heavenly King Chess Pieces this time was enough!
Inside the Golden Temple.
Silence reigned once again.
