Chen Shi walked into the temple, everything inside remained as before, undamaged.

In front of the hall, the stone turtle secretly harbored extraordinary power, seemingly ready to resurrect at any time, with a stele on its back, inscribed with the life deeds of Lord Yue.

Under the eaves of the grand hall, stone pillars entwined like dragons, as if descending from the heavens, spiraling down to the mortal world. Inside the hall, the ceiling was a mosaic of azure porcelain pieces, depicting the story of Lord Yue from his youth, learning skills, cultivating divine skills, defeating demons, and protecting the Tao. Then came the time of crisis for the Great Song, where the young man resolutely joined the army, forming the Beiwei Army, battling the Iron Cavalry, saving the Great Song from peril, and wiping away humiliation within the enemy territories, with battle scenes vividly depicted.

Afterward, when Lord Yue was taken down at Fengbo Pavilion by Emperor Song on false charges, he heroically faced death, ultimately deified by the common people, revered as the Great Emperor of Demon Suppression in the Three Realms, the Heavenly Venerate who subdues demons for the nation, commanding the divine generals of the Nine Heavens above, and overseeing the souls of sinners in the Five Hells below.

He withdrew his gaze, looking towards the divine shrine ahead, which also had no divine statue, empty and desolate.

In front of the shrine was an iron spear, over two zhang in length, as thick as an arm, lying horizontally before the shrine.

Despite more than six thousand years having passed, the iron spear showed no sign of rust, instead exuding an oily sheen.

Tendrils of battle intent and killing aura seeped from the iron spear, accompanied by the sound of fierce combat like clashing armor and warhorses.

Suddenly, a clamor arose outside the temple, as layers of the Demon Domain descended, demon qi surging, washing over the righteous path of the mortal world, turning righteous qi into demon qi, transforming the path of Tao into the path of demons.

With the Demon Domain converging, the center of this gathering was the Yue Temple, demon qi surging fiercely. In an instant, it even extinguished the thunder around Chen Shi like water, the sky abruptly darkened, and the bright moon disappeared!

Chen Shi activated the Yin Yang Refining, with the sun and moon revolving around him, dispersing the demonic aura, preventing the intrusion of demon qi and the demon path from corrupting the extraordinary power within the temple.

Yet the demon qi grew heavier and more oppressive, even with the rotation of sun and moon and the refinement of Yin Yang, it was momentarily difficult to purge.

Around him, it felt as though countless demons were lurking, whispering, awakening various desires within him, disturbing his thoughts, making it difficult to concentrate.

At this moment, a roaring clamor reached his ears, as if thousands of troops were charging, whistling past him, strong and powerful, raising blades and spears, activating their primordial spirits, with shouts shaking the heavens, their resolute will bursting forth, sweeping away everything!

The demon qi and demon path were shattered, melting like snow!

Chen Shi's heart and spirit trembled: "This battle intent, could it be from the Beiwei Army under Lord Yue? After six thousand years without worship, still holding such terrifying battle intent!"

With reverence, he raised the incense, stepping forward to offer a tribute.

A wisp of incense fire qi lingered upwards, drifting toward the empty shrine.

The extraordinary power in the temple rapidly condensed, transforming into golden feathers, two or three zhang in length, neatly arranged, forming wings, slowly flying past him.

Their speed increased, suddenly, a brilliant golden light soared into the sky, like a Golden Winged Great Roc, with its wings spreading, countless golden rays shot out, sweeping away the surrounding demon qi!

In the instant of the wing's spread, various demonic words, and demonic auras were completely sliced away by the golden light!

The phenomenon within the temple grew even more grand, and though Chen Shi had yet to achieve divine enthronement, this god of war from the battlefield seemed about to awaken on its own, stimulated by the demonic qi and aura!

The childlike elderly man set outside the Demon Domain saw from afar, as if a Golden Winged Great Roc was soaring from the Yue Temple, its wings spread instantly breaking through the demon qi and tearing apart the demon path, he too was startled in his heart: "What a powerful extraordinary power! This unusual god has yet to awaken, and its strength is already so formidable!"

He hurriedly called for Wu Xie, but received no response, feeling a sinking sensation in his heart: "Could Wu Xie have gone into the Demon Domain? Surely, he must have gone to intercept Child Scholar, but he is not a match for Child Scholar!"

Despair Slope follows a mentor and disciple, with each master taking only one disciple, teaching and nurturing them diligently from a young age, passing on all their skills. Once the disciple comes of age, having gained the strength to protect themselves and become independent, the teacher then chooses the next disciple.

He had been nurturing Wu Xie for more than ten years, the bond between teacher and disciple was deep.

Wu Xie, staying long at Despair Slope, unsurprisingly developed a sense of underestimating the world, thinking that aside from the senior brother Zhong Wuwang, no one could contend with him. This time taking Wu Xie out was also to train him, broadening his experience.

The childlike elderly man hesitated a moment, stepping into the Demon Domain.

Upon entering the Demon Domain, he immediately keenly sensed the demon qi and demon path beginning to affect him, with demonic nature sprouting in his heart.

Demon Transformation is the conversion of Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi and the Great Dao into demon qi and demon path, its operating mechanism being something Despair Slope had long researched. However, research is one thing, yet even he couldn't avoid being assimilated by the Demon Domain.

A single Demon Domain didn't affect him much, but multiple overlapping Demon Domains posed a risk of demon transformation even for him!

Heading towards the Yue Temple, he thought: "Wu Xie must be eager for a challenge, attempting to prove himself against the Child Scholar. He chases Chen Shi, with Chen Shi heading for the Yue Temple, then he must be heading to the Yue Temple too!"

He was anxious, for Wu Xie practiced the "Mystical Golden Court Immortal Scripture," an immortal law of immense power.

This cultivation technique, considered a superior method even at Despair Slope, once mastered, a golden court appears behind the practitioner, and as cultivation deepens, the golden court absorbs immortal energy, enhancing cultivation.

During spellcasting, an additional golden court immortal palace forms above the enemy's head, with the caster's image manifesting as an immortal within the golden court, though its power is immense.

This technique and the Jade Emperor Nine Heavens Chart share a subtle similarity.

But the childlike elderly man knew, Wu Xie was bound to lose.
