Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!
Chapter 1213 - 637: The Awakened Divine Statue, All Mistaken, Catastrophic Crisis, Emperor's Benevolence, True Technique Level 31 Conception

The Ten Thousand Insect Mother Empress pushed open the temple's gate, sealed in dust for countless millennia, and saw beast-headed bronze lamps sequentially lighting up in the dark great hall, illuminating it as if it were daylight.

The scene within the temple started to clearly reflect in her eyes.

The temple was supported by six enormous black jade pillars, with a central altar, above which stood a towering golden faceless godlike statue almost touching the temple's dome.

It seemed like a deity overlooking all beings from on high.

In front of the statue was placed a black throne.

Upon the throne sat a middle-aged cultivator with a somewhat dark expression, motionless.

At the moment the temple's door fully opened, accompanied by a soft 'click' sound, the figure of the middle-aged cultivator on the throne suddenly collapsed, disintegrating into a pile of gold powder on the throne.

The gold powder formed eight ancient script characters on the ground - "Inherit my teachings, uphold my rites."

At the same time, a thick and splendid light beam began to rise from the altar in the temple's center.

"The light of the Other Shore, this is the true aura of the Other Shore."

"Such great strength, if I study this power carefully, I can definitely analyze how this Other Shore Cultivator attained the Other Shore Realm."

The rapidly collapsing throne corpse, the suddenly erupting altar light beam, both dramatic changes instantly drew all of Mother Empress's attention, a brilliant smile began to blossom on her face.

She could already hear her Dao Fruits buzzing like a living creature, urging her to proceed.

The power contained in the altar's light beam harbored a mighty force, sufficient to fuse her three Dao Fruits together.

This force could thoroughly unite her three Dao Fruits.

"Indeed, there has always been a hidden Other Shore Cultivator in the Cosmic Sea, and he truly encountered problems, my previous deductions were correct."

"Heaven is truly aiding me."

Feeling the turmoil within her Dao Fruits, and after surveying her surroundings to ensure there were no signs of life, Mother Empress gently raised her left foot.

One breath, two breaths, half a breath.

Yet after careful consideration, rationality ultimately prevailed, and Mother Empress's suspended lotus foot returned to its original place, sitting serenely in mid-air, she began to comprehend the aura of the altar's light beam.

Although the altar's light beam gave her an unparalleled sense of desire, and the collapsed corpse's gold powder indicated it contained an inheritance of power from an Other Shore Cultivator, she still felt uneasy and dared not intervene rashly.

After all, one never knows what methods a fallen Other Shore Cultivator might have set in his temple.

Comprehending right where she was, although the intensity of the aura wouldn't match directly receiving the inheritance at the altar, her progress would be slower, but safety would be greatly increased.

And staying at the entrance, she could quickly escape at the first sign of trouble.

Fully alert, Mother Empress focused on understanding the power brilliance left by the Other Shore Cultivator while paying close attention to any movement around.

However, to her surprise, there was no abnormal movement at all.

"Seems I overthought?"

Mother Empress steadied her heart, continued to comprehend, and after an unknown period, just as she felt substantial gains and sensed her cultivation starting to loosen, her face suddenly changed dramatically.

She found that somehow, she had already entered the shadow cast by a gigantic entity.

Mother Empress turned her head with difficulty for a look.

What met her eyes was none other than the gigantic faceless statue behind the altar.

At this moment, although it appeared that the faceless statue made no movement, Mother Empress had a strong premonition that this faceless statue was laughing.

Laughing at her overestimation.

"Damn, it's indeed a trick."

In a critical moment, just as Mother Empress was about to unleash her divine skills, striking with all her might at the huge faceless statue behind her, trying to break through the obstruction blocking the temple gate to escape,

suddenly she first felt that her fiercely driven Ultimate Move encountered no resistance, then immediately lost connection with her painstakingly condensed three Dao Fruits.

Filled with fear, she hurriedly glanced around.

Damn it! She was tricked again!

At this moment, behind her there was no golden faceless statue, the huge golden faceless statue in the temple's center stood perfectly intact, smiling directly at her.

Unlike before, the altar in front of the statue had vanished without a trace.

The damned altar, taking advantage of her moment of distraction, had sprouted a row of tiny legs, disassembled and ran under her feet, completely surrounding her.

With the altar recomposing itself, a brilliant light beam soared into the sky again!

Meanwhile, the gold powder scattered all over the throne floor began to madly rush toward Mother Empress under the summon of some alien force.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the fine gold powder adhered to every inch of skin exposed on Mother Empress, beginning to penetrate into her cultivation body.

The renowned Ten Thousand Insect Mother Empress in the Cosmic Sea became a figure covered in gold powder, resembling the Golden Figures.

Under the radiant wash from the altar, countless insights began to emerge within Mother Empress's heart, at this moment, while struggling against the erosion of that powerful will, Mother Empress couldn't help but look up and cry sadly:

"Hehe, haha, everything's wrong."
