"Is that... Dao Rhyme?"

Lin Heng was slightly excited.

He didn't feel wrong; his limbs and bones, after being cleansed this time, finally gave birth to the Dao Rhyme that only those in the Path of the Palm realm possess!

With Dao Rhyme, one can wield the Power of the Dao, commanding natural wind and fire!

[Congratulations to the host, successfully breaking through to the First Layer of the Path of the Palm realm!]

[Congratulations to the host, successfully breaking through to the Second Layer of the Path of the Palm realm!]

[Congratulations to the host, successfully breaking through to the Third Layer of the Path of the Palm realm!]

Just as Lin Heng predicted, three lines of text appeared in his mind, and the energy within his entire body once again reached a terrifying peak!

Finally, he took the last step of a Grandmaster, becoming a genuine Peak of Great Power!

"This is great!"

Lin Heng couldn't suppress his inner excitement.

The corpse demon at the peak of great power brought him tremendous strength improvement.

Though he was just in the early stage of the Path of the Palm realm, he was confident now in his ability to face off with one who has achieved Great Success in Dao Control!

However, what truly excited him was not the advancement in his realm.

It was the confidence that, upon entering the realm of great power, he could now forge Immortal Pills!

This was indeed of utmost importance!

It was also why he chose to stay hidden instead of leaving after the battle started between Lingyin Temple and the five Black Mountain fiends!

He was waiting for the opportunity to kill a top-tier demon prodigy!

"Observatory Master!"

"Boss!"

Suddenly, two voices brought Lin Heng back from his excitement; he turned to see Bai Suzhen and the Black Bear Spirit rushing over.

The two of them looked visibly stunned when they saw him.

The Black Bear Spirit didn't feel much, just that the leader's aura became somewhat ethereal.

Bai Suzhen, however, had a look of astonishment, sensing the naturally exuded Dao Rhyme aura from Lin Heng!

"Observatory Master... broke through again?"

Bai Suzhen felt a burst of incredulity in her heart.

From the first encounter with the Observatory Master, she had been witnessing his ascension, and now again, a qualitative leap in such a short time.

This terrifying breakthrough speed was something Bai Suzhen had never seen in her life.

Even Fa Hai, who had once been hailed as having a natural Buddha root, was not this exaggerated.

This made Bai Suzhen lose herself for a while, mouth agape.

"What's the matter?"

It wasn't until Lin Heng's voice rang out.

Bai Suzhen came to her senses, remembered the urgent business, and hurriedly said:

"Dust Concealment used the Great Sun Subduing Dragon Pestle again to severely wound the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch. The demons from Black Mountain are now all scared and fleeing quickly towards Qingcheng Mountain."

"So fast?"

Lin Heng was a bit surprised, inwardly marveling at the fearsome power of the Great Sun Subduing Dragon Pestle, which in a short time not only severely wounded the corpse demon but now also heavily injured the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch.

It truly lived up to being the treasured artifact of Lingyin Temple!

"Go, let's follow!"

Glancing at the distant chasing Buddha Light and demon clouds, Lin Heng did not hesitate, immediately using Near and Far to chase after them.

"Huh?"

The Black Bear Spirit was momentarily stunned to see the leader heading to the battlefield.

"Isn't it dangerous to chase after such excitement?"

It couldn't help but twitch its mouth corners.

It must be known that both Lingyin Temple, equipped with Immortal Soldiers, and the Black Mountain Fiends, who were formidable in their own right, posed extreme danger.

If they were discovered while following them, it wouldn't be fun!

"The Observatory Master, I fear, isn't going just to watch the fun..."

Bai Suzhen suddenly spoke.

The Black Bear Spirit was puzzled, looking at her in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Bai Suzhen turned back to look at the deep pit where the corpse demon had previously fallen, speaking with complex emotions: "Haven't you noticed that the corpse demon is gone?"

"This..."

The Black Bear Spirit was momentarily stunned, its usually keen mind suddenly realizing, and when it looked again at the direction the leader vanished into, a hint of admiration appeared in its eyes.

"Hence, the conflict between the Buddhist Dao rivalries remains just that."

"When it comes to true demonic evils, the leader will still make a move..."

It murmured lowly, filled with exclamations.

Bai Suzhen, with her beautiful eyes showing a peculiar light, also sighed: "The Observatory Master's actions, though unconventional, still adhere firmly to principles..."

After the sigh, Bai Suzhen showed a hint of killing intent.

Qingcheng Mountain had bestowed the grace of teaching to her and her sisters, and its destruction under the Black Mountain Demon's forces made her harbor some resentment...

"Let's go, we can't let the Observatory Master be alone!"

Bai Suzhen said, transforming into a beam of light, quickly following.

Seeing this, the Black Bear Spirit also stopped hesitating and immediately followed suit.

...

At this time, holding the Great Sun Subduing Dragon Pestle and the Demon Suppression Tower, Dust Concealment and Dust Spirit had completely gained the upper hand. With Immortal Soldiers in hand, they didn't even need to depend on the Great Brightness Buddha Lotus Array.

Just the two of them pursuing ahead was enough to make the four fiends terrified.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch, having taken a hit from the Immortal Soldiers, especially so, was severely wounded and, despite exerting all its efforts, remained the slowest in the escape.

This made it increasingly anxious.

Seeing the breath behind growing closer, while the three scoundrels ahead ran swiftly, helplessly, it descended from the demon cloud, burrowing into the earth to attempt using the Earth Escape Skill to shake off those two baldies from Lingyin Temple.

It didn't initially hold much hope.

But what it didn't expect, was that those baldies, clearly seeing its trail, didn't care and continued instead to relentlessly pursue those three guys ahead?

This not only delighted the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch but also left it a bit puzzled?

But very soon, it understood the reason.

"Right, what they're truly after must be Fa Hai's Golden Body!"

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch thought excitedly, understanding this, it couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.

Yet in the next second, a murderous intent suddenly pervaded.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch's heart trembled and, almost instinctively, it shot out from the ground, and in that instant as it soared into the air, a terrifying Sword Qi had already cleaved a grand canyon-like chasm through the earth beneath it.

"Hiss..."

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch inhaled sharply, looking ahead with a gaze filled with shock and anger.

At some point, a slender figure appeared there.

With Daoist hairpins, dressed in a Daoist Robe, face expressionless, standing with a sword.

"Who are you?!"

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch asked in astonishment and doubt, its gaze locked firmly on the sword in his hand, which gave it an exceedingly dangerous feeling.

Yet, the Daoist ahead hadn't spoken.

Another figure appeared.

"It's you?"

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch's expression froze, as the one appearing ahead was that Black Bear Spirit who constantly shouted about inviting Fa Hai from the Buddhist Sect!

"Heh heh, how are you?"

The Black Bear Spirit showed a somewhat teasing grin, which made the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch's eyes blaze with anger and suspicion, growing aware that perhaps it had fallen into a trap.

And at this point, Bai Suzhen clad in white, appeared on its rear escape route.

"White Snake?"

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch's face changed dramatically, eyebrows knitting together, gaze moving back and forth over the Black Bear Spirit and Bai Suzhen, before finally staring in shock and doubt at the Daoist.

"You are... you are..."

Lin Heng serenely stated, "This humble Daoist is the Observatory Master of Qingfeng Temple."
