He had actually transformed into an extremely ferocious Demon Ape!
Similarly, its stature soared, and beneath its body, monkey hair fluttered while layer upon layer of stacked muscles radiated explosive powerā¦
Clutching the golden rod, it was almost identical to the Divine Sculpture Divine Intent created by Li Che!
At this momentā¦
Zhou Tianshui and Yun Haiyang were truly terrified.
Originallyā¦
The Temple God they had sculpted was only the appearance they had seen of the Temple God.
But Elder Sun and Li Che⦠had seen the inner essence of this Temple God!
Their⦠defeat was not unjust.
At this moment, both were completely at peace.
After all, how could they talk about winning this spiritual battle of Divine Sculpture Divine Intent if they hadnāt even fully perceived the Temple Godās second form?
Within the Divinity dense fogā¦
Two enormously large giant apes, wielding golden rods, stood as if on the human worldās vast earth, where mountains appeared as small as soil mounds, gazing at each other from afar.
One had eyes ablaze with golden fire, the otherās eyes burst with golden light!
Roar!!!
The two Mixed World Giant Apes roared angrily, dragging their long rods, their fighting spirit abundant, and with a thunderous collision, they smashed into each other!
Terrifying clash of Divine Intents!
Thump!
As if a falling star had mercilessly smashed into the ground!
Brilliant radiance exploded outwards, and the gaze of every Divine Sculpture Master was uncontrollably drawn to the sight of the terrifying shockwave, expanding outwards like concentric circles!
The surging Qi Sea, like a howling hurricane, swept everything around!
Truly an apocalyptic scene, as if the two Divine Sculpture Masters had recreated an unadorned, primal battle between two Mixed World Giant Apes from ancient times!
Stick against stick, fist against fist clashed!
Destroying heaven and earth, smoke and dust rolled up like earth dragons soaring skyward!
Such momentum was earth-shatteringly formidable, as if the experiences once endured by the Temple God were being vividly reproduced, replayed through the Divine Sculpture Divine Intent!
Allowing many Divine Sculpture Masters, separated by time and space, to witness this world-shaking Demon Ape battle!
Overwhelming and terrifying to the extreme!
The previously Kasaya-clad Two Heart Great Saint Divine Intent, seemed like childās play in comparison.
It turns out⦠this was the reality!
This was the false roar from the mouth of the Demon Ape Divine Intent sculpted by Li Che!
Many Divine Sculpture Masters felt this trip was truly worthwhile.
Compared to the Divine Sculpture Divine Intent clash between Su Huaiming and Elder Sun three years ago⦠that battle was merely childās play.
Like Elder Sun had been playing with children!
If Elder Sun had also used the second form Divine Intent of the Two Heart Great Saint at that time, Su Huaiming would not have just lost narrowly.
But would have been completely crushed!
"Excellent, excellent, excellent!ā
Elder Sunās body trembled, his eyes opened wide, staring intently at the image of the Divine Intent clash emerging from within the Divinity dense fog.
It seemed that at this moment, he could feel the excitement, the thrill, and⦠happiness of the Two Heart Great Saint Temple God!
Perhapsā¦
This was what the Two Heart Great Saint Temple God had been pursuing all along!
And this emotion was the true emotion contained within the Statue of the Deity!
Elder Sunās body continued to shiver.
Howeverā¦
Something was still missing.
Streaks of bloodshot appeared in Elder Sunās eyes, and his shaky body could not suppress the ferocity within them.
His nearly depleted Qi-Blood burst forth, as he bit down on his teeth, forcing his body to remain upright.
"Just a little more
"Just a little more, and Iāll be able to feel it.ā
Elder Sun gasped heavily.
Gongshu Jingjun sat on the Taishi Chair, flicking his finger, his Divinity surging, maintaining the Divinity dense fog.
He glanced at Elder Sun, whose complexion had turned crimson, appearing as if returning the last light, and sighed deeply at the sight of the tremors and bloodshot eyes.
Elder Sun had spent a full 60 years observing the Temple God, trying to sculpt the most perfect Statue of the Deity.
But even now, after 60 years, he still felt there was a significant deficiency.
Always feeling something was missingā¦
Gongshu Jingjunās gaze shifted, falling upon Li Che.
Thinking of the strand of Divinity that was drawn from the Mysterious Fog.
He transmitted to Li Che: āAllow this old man⦠to depart without regrets.ā
Li Che sat upright on the Taishi Chair; upon hearing Gongshu Jingjunās request, he was momentarily taken aback.
He too looked at Elder Sun, who was trembling all over, his face flush with the last vestiges of vitality burning awayā¦
Li Che exhaled.
Then, he nodded.
He did not continue to watch Elder Sunā¦
The next moment.
Li Che raised his hand to his forehead.
Within the Niwan Inner Scenery Space.
Divinity like the vast tide, continuously surging and crashing.
And within the Divinity wave.
The Heaven and Earth Spirit Bright True Ape sat cross-legged atop the Divine Foundation.
All at once.
The Heaven and Earth Spirit Bright True Ape slowly opened its eyesā¦
Clear and deep, as if wisdom was flowing through them!
Li Che opened his eyes, and in an instant, his Divinity connected with the Divine Sculpture.
Equaling Heavenā¦
Arrives!
Let the old man seeā¦
The real Great Saint!
Within the Divinity dense fog.
The two intensely battling Mixed World Demon Apes suddenly shook violently.
The Two Hearted Great Saint Demon Ape was abruptly grasped by the fist, flung away, hurtling and crashing aside.
While the Demon Ape Divine Intent sculpted by Li Che, its eyes flickering, suddenly became extremely clear.
As if the true Divine Intent had descended.
"Six-Ears.ā
A deep voice echoed within the Divinity waves.
The Demon Ape, thrown out and slammed onto the ground, kneeling on one knee, raising its head, seemed to have its frenzy calm down with the utterance of āSix-Ears.ā
"Six-Ears⦠regret!ā
"Regret becoming enlightened.ā
The True Ape slowly raised its head, hair fluttering, with a long, leisurely sigh.
