Chapter 701: Chapter 235: The Sect Master’s Wife Teaches Xi Xi to Vent Her Anger, A Great Surge Arises as the Demon Ape Comes to the World – Strange Que 3

Majestic divinity surged out from the spiritual wood, winding like flame-wreathed jiaoshe when the divine weapon tore into the raw timber.

The bodhi wood instantly reddened, and the rising temperature seemed to cause an invisible current to rise within the Mysterious Temple.

The blood fire divine pattern seemed to come to life from the bodhi wood, continuously creeping toward Li Che’s arm.

Why is it that the higher the rank of Divine Sculpture Masters, the harder it is to achieve?

It is because, during the carving process, the risks become immense.

In addition to observing the Temple God and feeling its divine charm to enhance one’s own divine sculpture skill, there is danger in every moment of sculpting spiritual wood.

Some high-rank spiritual woods are already transformed from spirits and are enlightened.

Even if it’s just a block of raw wood, the power contained within can influence the carver himself.

Thus, no powerful Divine Sculpture Master is of weak cultivation.

Take Su Huaiming, for example, he is a master of Golden Body Transformation Completion.

Zhou Tianshui and Yun Haiyang are of the same realm.

Li Che relied solely on his strong physical body to resist the wriggling blood fire divine pattern.

Li Che’s heart was completely immersed in the act of carving.

Within his chest, the Dao Fruit [Divine Craft] pulsed violently and vigorously.

Waves of heat surged.

Inside his brow Niwan, the Spiritually Bright Real Ape roared!

Although Li Che used the Divine Foundation as a base to carve out the Heaven and Earth Form of Spirit True Ape,

the experience of carving Divine Foundation and the reality of carving spiritual wood are entirely different.

The former is guided by the Temple God Divinity obtained through the Equal to Heaven’s Face, forming directly within the Divine Foundation.

Li Che just needed to follow the steps, and with enough strength, he could complete the carving.

But carving the divine sculpture is completely different.

Without pre-outlining the true form with Temple God Divinity, a single mistake in cutting could have far too great an impact!

Li Che’s whole body seemed to be ablaze; he didn’t choose to suppress the blood fire divine pattern but let it climb over his entire knife-holding arm.

Not far to the side.

In front of Su Huaiming, the spiritual wood had already been roughed out, and with a slack in his concentration, he turned his head to look.

Seeing Li Che’s current state, he burst into laughter.

“This kid… too overconfident? Blood fire divine pattern bodhi wood is not so easily carved. Without enough cultivation, he’ll just wait to be eroded and ruined by the blood fire divine pattern!”

Su Huaiming gloated.

And at this moment, Li Che’s entire mind was focused, his heart throbbing vigorously,

as if fused with the rhythm of the Dao Fruit [Immortal Craft]!

With each breath, his eyes were fiery, and within the brow Niwan, the Star Plucking Pupil tore apart the blood and flesh, and golden eyes whirled around!

In his eyes,

the bodhi wood with blood fire divine pattern seemed to have countless lines sketching and jumping to life, outlining and forming the rough shape.

Clutching the divine weapon dagger, Li Che used it as an engraving knife, and with a vigorous slash, the blade edge sank into the spiritual wood, accompanied by sparks flying, the sharp divine weapon scratched and sliced against the wood!

Burning and scorching, like red-hot charcoal sprinkles, the wood shavings were swept away by the wind within the Strange Temple.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh–

Burning, scorching…

But Li Che felt nothing, his black hair dancing wildly.

Between the nimble movement of his five fingers, the divine weapon dagger flicked and jumped.

Knife up, knife down, the knife moves like a dragon swimming through a sea of fire!

Inside the Strange Temple, majestic divinity began to condense rapidly, and more and more blood fire divine patterns emerged on Li Che’s body…

His entire arm seemed to be taken over by tadpole-like blood-colored patterns!

Many wood carving masters who had just stepped into the Strange Temple were shocked.

“He’s insane!”

“If he continues like this… he’ll be ruined!”

“This is the blood fire divine pattern, its burning and erosive powers are extremely terrifying, a Grandmaster… can be corroded into dry bones!”

“He’s crazy! Is it worth it? For the sake of carving a divine sculpture, to destroy himself, he might even lose his life!”

…

Only a few wood carving masters could step into the Strange Temple.

Many were sifted out within the Strange Que.

Therefore, those able to set foot in the Strange Temple were master carvers with high insight.

They were shocked by Li Che’s reckless actions!

However, they did not pay too much attention to him.

Rarely entering the Five Elders Rank’s Strange Temple, naturally, their main goal was to observe the Temple God and enhance their wood carving skills from the statue of the deity!

For a while, the Strange Temple became completely quiet.

Only when the scorching air moved, a rustling sound could be heard!

Creak, creak…

The divine weapon dagger in his hand began to crack under the strain, even pitted and eroded by the blood fire divine pattern.

Li Che did not care; if a divine weapon was ruined, he simply took out another divine weapon sword from the Qiankun Space.

Rustle, rustle, rustle–

Li Che stood firmly like planting his feet, in a corner of the Strange Temple, his spine straight, his body ensnared by blood fire divine patterns.

His eyes burned, and under the trembling of the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, he displayed all the carving techniques he had learned in his life.

The angle of the divine weapon’s incision, the depth and size of the cuts into the spirit wood opening, the change in the bodhi wood tissue after being torn apart, all seemed like passing electricity in his brain, unfolding like an ink landscape!

Although Li Che wielded not a professional carving knife but a divine weapon sword, his technique was skilled, and his fingers extraordinarily agile.
