Chapter 675: Chapter 675: The Double-pupil Bird Shows its Might

"Do you want the object inside?"

Qin Jun broke the silence and asked; as he spoke, he stepped aside to let him through.

Peng Zhitian frowned and looked at the large door before him. The door, cast from bronze, was covered with a thick layer of dust, seemingly untouched for many years.

Unlike Qin Jun, who dabbled in corpse refinement and inclined towards the use of poisons, he could instantly see through the trickery on the bronze door.

But Peng Zhitian didn’t care. With a palm strike, he sent the bronze door crashing down from afar, stirring up the dust and startling Qin Jun so much that he retreated, not wanting to be poisoned.

What came into Qin Jun’s view was a dimly lit room with a stone platform upon which rested a dust-covered golden compass, propped up by a small jade stand.

This compass bore a strong resemblance to the Wheel of Fate within Qin Jun’s body, but its surface was covered with dust, making it seem even more ancient.

"Ding! Side quest triggered—Seize the Wheel of Fate! Quest details: Discover the hidden Wheel of Fate within the God Temple. If the host succeeds in seizing it and fusing it with his own Wheel of Fate, he will be granted one chance for a God and Demon summon and one random lottery draw!"

The system prompt suddenly sounded, making Qin Jun’s eyes narrow.

Now he had another reason to snatch the Wheel of Fate.

Upon seeing the Wheel of Fate, Peng Zhitian’s eyes lit up, and he immediately reached for it.

As if pulled by an invisible force, the Wheel of Fate suddenly flew towards Peng Zhitian. In an instant, a streak of light flashed by with great speed, snatching away the Wheel of Fate, which shrank to the grip of Qin Jun’s hand.

"How dare you!"

Peng Zhitian’s tone was filled with horror, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Behind him, multiple black holes appeared, from which ghastly pale hands reached out.

Qin Jun, fearless, sneered, "What shouldn’t I dare do?"

So what if you are in the mid-stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm? Acting all high and mighty for what!

Do you know how powerful this chicken on my shoulder is?

No, this divine bird!

The Double-pupil Bird let out a low squawk, all four of its eyes locking onto Peng Zhitian, sending chills down his spine.

"Just who are you? State your name!" Peng Zhitian demanded through gritted teeth, overwhelmed by the immense pressure from the Double-pupil Bird.

"I come from the Western Regions, remember my name, Tathāgata!" Qin Jun mocked.

The Tathāgata from the Western Regions?

Peng Zhitian furrowed his brows in thought, clearly, he hadn’t heard of this name before.

The Tathāgata, despite his formidable strength, had always focused on developing the Western Regions because he understood that only by keeping a low profile could he roar through the world.

Although the Tathāgata of the Western Regions had not yet reached the heights of the Six Palaces and Three Lands, his name was known only within the inner circles of the God Temple.

"Western Regions? Hmph, never even heard of it!" Peng Zhitian scoffed, and as he spoke, he wave his right hand, releasing a swarm of ghostly hands from the black holes that flew directly towards Qin Jun.

If captured by those hands, Qin Jun would be left with no choice but death.

But the Double-pupil Bird on Qin Jun’s shoulder was not just for show. It opened its beak and a beam of white light shot out, completely disintegrating all the ghostly hands into ash.

Peng Zhitian’s pupils shrank. Just as he was about to speak, the Double-pupil Bird suddenly charged at him, slamming into his chest. He then felt an unimaginable force assail him.

With a boom!

Dust flew up as the Double-pupil Bird, pressing down on Peng Zhitian, crashed through the mountain. The force was so great that the entire God Temple shook.

But the God Temple was in the midst of battle, and the guards did not notice the commotion below.

Qin Jun quickly flew out of the dust, looking disheveled and wretched. He couldn’t help but curse, "Did you really need to be so sudden?"

He could only complain, considering the Double-pupil Bird’s low sentience, which didn’t take his feelings into account.

In its simple mind, even if the entire God Temple collapsed, Qin Jun would not be harmed.

Meanwhile, Peng Zhitian and the Double-pupil Bird flew out from the other end of the God Temple. Peng Zhitian was now covered in blood, yet his black robe remained unscathed, suggesting its material was quite extraordinary.

The Double-pupil Bird’s eyes flickered with a terrifying fierceness that made Peng Zhitian tremble with fear.

"What origin does this chicken have..."

Peng Zhitian thought fearfully as the Double-pupil Bird turned into a long rainbow streak and attacked him again, this time even faster.

Swoosh—

The air was torn asunder, the Double-pupil Bird’s body bursting into flames, and with lightning speed, it pierced right through Peng Zhitian’s chest, splattering blood everywhere. Peng Zhitian’s expression froze instantly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

As a peak power at the mid-stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, he had no chance to resist in the face of Double-pupil Bird.

The sheer speed left him no time to defend.

The flames on the Double-pupil Bird were no ordinary fire, and as they passed through Peng Zhitian’s chest, the fire continued to burn the edges of the flesh, causing him excruciating pain.

Simultaneously, all of Peng Zhitian’s corpse puppets halted, then turned and flew toward him.

Just as Sun Wukong was about to smash a Golden Immortal corpse puppet with his staff, he saw the puppets flee and immediately felt annoyed.

The God Temple elders and guardians, however, began to relax. Out of the seventy-two Taiyi Mysterious Immortal corpse puppets, only sixty-one remained, but the God Temple’s loss had been more severe, so it was natural for them to feel relieved seeing the puppets retreat.

The Double-pupil Bird cocked its head and glanced at Peng Zhitian a few times before turning to fly toward Qin Jun.

In its simple mind, Peng Zhitian’s life force was rapidly dissipating, which meant he was about to die, and it could not leave its master for too long.

No sooner had it left than the corpse puppets flew down, merging directly into his body in a bizarre fusion.

On the other hand, the Double-pupil Bird returned to Qin Jun’s shoulder, prompting him to say with a light chuckle, "Next time, could you not make such a big fuss?"

The Double-pupil Bird chirped a few times; Qin Jun didn’t understand and simply flew upwards.

Obtaining the Wheel of Fate on this trip was an unexpected joy. Once the battle was over, he would merge it, potentially resulting in an explosive increase in his own strength.

En route, a torrent of demon soldiers and God Temple guardians seemed to pour down like rain. Qin Jun dodged while flying upwards.

With Peng Zhitian taken care of, the remaining battle was almost guaranteed, and Qin Jun’s mood lightened.

"I didn’t expect the Wheel of Fate to fall into your hands so easily. With this piece, even if the Wheel of Fate still has imperfections, it should be able to heal itself completely," Ji Yongsheng remarked in Qin Jun’s mind, amazed.

Ji Yongsheng had faced life-threatening dangers to obtain the Wheel of Fate in the past, nearly meeting his demise.

"Nonsense, how could my qi movement be compared to yours?" Qin Jun thought smugly.

"Hmph, with just that little bit of qi movement? Do you even know what it’s like when qi movement forms clouds, when qi movement gathers like seas?" Ji Yongsheng scoffed, irritating Qin Jun.

Can’t you take a joke?

A loud bang came from above. Qin Jun looked up to see the Six-Eared Macaque being slammed down by Luo Shixin.

The Six-Eared Macaque was in a pitiful state, covered in blood, and would probably be killed by Luo Shixin if the fight continued.

Qin Jun did not believe he had the same attribute as Sun Wukong, who grew stronger with battle.

The falling Six-Eared Macaque suddenly glimpsed Qin Jun and immediately darkened with a fierce light, attacking Qin Jun.

He remembered Luo Shixin standing behind Qin Jun and knew that Qin Jun was also marked for death by the Demon Ancestor. Now was the
