“They’re so powerful!” cried the Heavenly Palace people with awe. All this while, they had been watching the battle from the sidelines. The intruders had more skilled fighters than they did but with Qin Manyun and the rest of her group joining the battle, it did not matter how many skilled fighters the demons had, for they would still be no match for them.

  Although Qin Manyun and the gang were all Heavenly Realm fighters, too, it was obvious they had pushed through the usual limit of the Heavenly Realm and had entered a state where any opposing ordinary Heavenly Realm fighter could never win in a fight against them. One of Qin Manyun was equal to hundreds of them, and not to mention the unpredictability of their attacks using the treasures given to them by the expert.

  “Is it me or are they holding back a little? They seem to be more concerned about trapping the demons than killing them,” said Juling Shen.

  “What demons? Those are all game meat. The reason they’re holding back is to preserve the freshness of the meat,” said Xiao Chengfeng with a smile.

  “The expert must’ve requested for them to replenish their meat stock.”


  “We should be ashamed of ourselves! How could we let the expert’s meat stock go empty? When was the last time we went on a hunt?”


  “Let’s make it up to him now!”


  “Look, that cow looks good. We can make it into a steak!”


  “We should definitely bring back the three-headed canine since it’s rare for us to eat dog meat on account of Lord Dog being there. We can make it into a dog meat hotpot. Oh no, even thinking about it makes me drool.”


  By then, the Centipede Demon had been put into a coma by Nanan’s shovel attacks. She threw it over her shoulder and said, “We can soak this centipede in some liquor to make centipede wine. Did you know that drinking centipede wine’s really good for the body? I’m sure Brother Li will like it.”


  “I don’t think anyone would like to eat this Rat Demon. It doesn’t seem to have much meat anyway. Oh well, let’s just eliminate it.”


  The battleground had become a supermarket. The sound of Nanan and the others evaluating the intruders for their meat caused the demon’s faces to turn black with rage. How dare they!

  Suddenly, a powerful energy surged from the portal and caused it to expand as endless Spiritual Qi and laws of the universe raged on. All kinds of laws of the universe gathered in the middle of the portal before transforming into a bridge made of rainbows, laying in wait for the arrival of a bigshot. The energy was so forceful that they could even catch a glimpse of Wisdom being manifested into something tangible.

  “He’s coming! He’s coming! Our Demon Emperor’s coming!”


  “I bet you won’t be so cocky now. Our Demon Emperor will show you the real meaning of terror!”


  “Hahaha, did you really think you could bully us? You’re all dead, I tell you.”


  “Quick, let us welcome the Demon Emperor with the respect he deserves. His boundless mana will surely suppress the seventh dimension!”


  All the demons became excited at the prospect of their savior coming to save them. So sure was their belief in the Demon Emperor’s power that they had even become cocky.

  Cultivator Junjun and the rest of the people from the Heavenly Palace’s faces changed drastically. “Oh no! Here comes a Wisdom Elite!”


  “What should we do? We can’t win against a Wisdom Elite!”


  It was at that moment, they saw a muscular body stepping out of the portal and onto the rainbow bridge. His majestic aura caused the portal to distort as if it was unable to bear the pressure.

  “You should all kneel and await your death if this is all the combat power the seventh dimension has to offer,” said the demon Wisdom Elite as his figure became clearer. Before them stood a middle-aged man with a high nose bridge and a pair of golden elk antlers on his head. The glow of the golden antlers was so dazzling that one could not look straight at it.

  He scanned his sharp eyes across the crowd and laughed coldly. “Hunting for game meat? I can say the same for you. Men, we’ll be having a feast today!”


  “Long live the Demon Emperor!”


  “Should I roast them or boil them? Oh I know, I can even steam them!”


  “Deep fry! We should deep fry them!”


  The demons were laughing and staring at the Heavenly Palace people ferociously as they were saying that. They had truly become cocky with the arrival of their Demon Emperor.

  “Hey there, gorgeous, my original form is a rainbow deer and I have the noblest of bloodlines running through me. You shall never want for anything if you agree to be my Empress,” said the Demon Emperor to Little Fox. Then, he turned to his subordinates and said in a laughing voice, “Men, bow down to your new Empress!”


  “Greetings, Empress!” chorused the demons at the same time.

  “Pah!” cried Little Fox who was red in the face. “Why don’t you take a good look in the mirror first, you disgusting old man!”


  “There’s no need to be shy, my Empress. Men, bring her back!” said the Demon Emperor.

  “Who will reach the peak at the end of Wisdom, behold it’s Blackie with his immeasurable Wisdom.” A voice echoed through the sky, sounding near yet far at the same time. It did not contain any detectable terrifying aura and yet, it made the demons quake in their boots.

  “Show yourself!” said the Demon Emperor with a slight tremor in his voice. He squinted his eyes and scanned the sky for the culprit.

  The words were imbued with the sound of Wisdom and were surely a force to be reckoned with, making it impossible for any ordinary person to say it. Could there really be so many hidden talents in the seventh dimension?

  “It’s Lord Dog! Lord Dog has come to help us!”


  “We’ll win for sure now that he’s here!”


  The Heavenly Palace people were jumping for joy.

  Xing Ya, especially, could not disguise the awe in his eyes for Blackie’s entrance was the entrance of his dream. The lines were uttered just when everyone was thrown into the deepest depths of danger which had the effect of strengthening the group’s courage, while Blackie himself effortlessly fought off all enemies. How could anyone not be awestruck by this? Therefore, it was such a shame he was beaten to the punch by Blackie, and wait a minute, did Blackie just use the lines the expert specially came up for him?

  Everyone turned their eyes in the direction of the speaker at the same time and saw a figure making his way towards them as if on a catwalk. The figure was a completely bald mutt dressed in patched-up short leather pants. The expression in the figure’s eyes was as clear as a spring pond, as deep as the ocean, and as cold as arctic ice.

  “Did little Bambi just hit on Little Fox? How cute!” said Blackie with a mocking grin on his face.

  Little Fox breathed out a sigh of relief and said, “Lord Dog, I’m so glad you came. This old geezer’s pure evil. We should turn him into a hunting trophy!”


  “I had no choice but to come here for the Master was this close to turning me into dog meat,” said Blackie with a roll of his eyes. “Don’t you worry. I’ll make sure to use every part of this deer—his antlers, his blood, his ‘whip’, his tail—all of them are good stuff for nourishing the body!”


  “Do my eyes deceive me? I can’t believe I’m looking at a Wisdom Elite Dog Demon, but what happened to your…fur? Can you even fight like this?” asked the Demon Emperor.

  “I can beat you with my pants alone,” said Blackie calmly. He stood where he was while a powerful aura rushed toward the Demon Emperor and pressed down on him. “Mosaic Light!”


  A bright light exploded from Blackie’s pants and a wave of mosaic as deep as the ocean shot toward the Demon Emperor. Initially, the Demon Emperor thought there was nothing to the attack but then discovered that he had been blinded by the effect. There was nothing he could do about it.

  “Huh? What’s this? What’s going on? My Power of Wisdom has been suppressed. Impossible!” Surrounded by the mosaic light, the Demon Emperor felt as if he had lost everything and this drove him mad. He began to attack his surroundings maniacally with all that he had.

  In the meantime, Blackie had taken Nanan’s shovel out of her hand and crept silently behind the Demon Emperor. He raised the shovel and forcefully slammed it down on the Demon Emperor’s skull. The Demon Emperor’s body went slack and collapsed to the ground. It could be said that this was the shortest fight in all of the universe and the unpredictability of it all shocked everyone.

  “Did the dog just take out our Demon Emperor with a single attack?”


  “The Demon Emperor fainted and is being held captive!”


  “This dog’s too terrifying! Everyone, run!”


  “Someone, please, wake me up from this horrible dream!”


  To say that all the demons were in a state of shock was an understatement of the year for it was closer to say that they had their worldviews turned upside down. They quickly tried to escape with their lives.

  Cultivator Junjun’s eyes began to glint with excitement as he shouted to his group, “Hurry! Don’t let them get away!”


  The corners of Blackie’s lips began to turn up at the sight of so much game meat. “Catch as many of them as you can! We have to make sure that the Master has enough meat to last forever!” He was hoping that by making sure Li Nianfan had enough meat, his Master would give up the idea of eating him.

  Soon, all the demons were held captive. However, Yang Jing did not stop there and led a group of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Guards into the portal to the fourth dimension. There was still a group of demons who did not cross over because their cultivation was not high enough. Yang Jing had no choice but to kill them all in order for the portal to remain a secret.

  “This sure is a big haul, and looking at the quality, the fourth dimension mustn’t be such a bad place after all,” said Qing Manyun with a satisfied smile.

  “Let’s go back now. We shouldn’t let Brother Li wait!” said Nanan.

  With that, they started to make their way back to the four-part architecture, eager to present the big bundle of game meat to Li Nianfan.

  “Yang Jing, what’s the fourth dimension like?” asked Cultivator Junjun.

  “There are cliff walls everywhere with no grass in sight. It was a very desolate place. I asked a lowly demon for the name of the place and he said it’s called the Tiandang Mountain. The Spiritual Qi’s really lacking there which makes it hard for the laws of the universe to manifest. That place is one of the many desolate places in the fourth dimension.”


  Cultivator Junjun nodded his head. “This is good news for us since it means that news of the portal won’t spread in the fourth dimension.”


  Goddess Nuwa pondered about something for a while and said, “I’m curious as to why they would call our dimension a new dimension and why they’re so hellbent on coming to the seventh dimension?”


  “I might be able to answer that,” said Xing Ya as he took a step forward. “As I’ve mentioned, every dimension has a limit to their Spiritual Qi. Going by that vein, let’s say that the fourth dimension has given birth to many Wisdom Elites while our seventh dimension hasn’t given birth to even one Wisdom Elite. Which of these two dimensions would you choose to be in?”


  Even a fool could answer that question. It was obvious that the seventh dimension could offer more opportunities to those who wanted to cultivate themselves, not to mention the lack of strong fighters made them an easy target for pillaging.

  “That means the fourth dimension has a lot more Wisdom Elites than the one we saw in battle,” said Cultivator Junjun with a frown.

  “Not to mention, there’s the mystery of who opened the portal before this and what happened after that,” added Yang Jing.

  “We must guard this entrance properly and go to the fourth dimension to look for answers,” said Cultivator Junjun.

  Meanwhile, Qin Manyun and others had arrived back at the four-part architecture with the game meat in their hands.

  “Brother Li, we’re back!” shouted Nanan and Dragin excitedly. “Come and check out our big haul! You won’t believe just how much game meat we’ve brought back!”


  “Oh, really?” asked Li Nianfan with curiosity as he walked out of his room

  “Brother Li, where’s my sister?” asked Little Fox.

  “She and Fire Phoenix are resting in their rooms. They’re still tired from their morning exercises,” replied Li Nianfan.

  Then, he walked up to them and gasped when he saw the mountain of game meat. “This is a little too much. When will we ever finish it?”


  “It’s true, it’s gonna take us a long time to finish all the meat but look! Some of them are still alive. We can keep them in a cage until we’re ready to eat them. Don’t worry about them creating a ruckus for I’ve already sealed them up,” said Dragin.

  “Haha, that’s a genius idea, Dragin! I knew I could count on you,” said Li Nianfan happily. He then swept his eyes over the game meat which just increased his shock even more.

  “No way! Is this a three-headed canine? This is my first time seeing this rare beast.”


  “Nine-head python? Could it be a hydra? I can’t believe I’m seeing a live one before me!”


  “Wow, that centipede’s huge. It’s making me break out with goosebumps but I bet it’ll taste great once soaked in liquor.”


  “This deer’s so cool! He must be one-of-a-kind with his golden antlers. We should use up every part of its body to nourish ourselves.”


  “Did we do good, Brother Li?” asked Nanan while looking at him with a ‘please, praise me’ expression on her face.

  “Yes, better than good! This is a really good haul. I’m especially impressed by all the new types of meat. Our feast will surely be a success with all this meat!” said Li Nianfan with a smile. Then came the question of which meat to use for the feast first. In the end, he chose the rainbow deer. As for the three-headed canine and nine-headed python, he would leave them for later.

  It was general knowledge that every part of the deer could be used to strengthen their bodies. Its blood could be used to make Deer Blood Wine which had the benefits of curing anemia, strengthening one’s Qi, and stabilizing one’s overall health. He could not wait to find out the difference in taste between the Dragon Blood Wine and Deer Blood Wine. Apart from that, he could steam the antlers, deep-fry the tail, and braise the meat. Each of the dishes was a delicacy of its own right. He did not doubt that they would come away with a healthier body after this meal.

  “Let’s bring the deer in first. The rest of them could be kept outside here until we’re ready to slaughter them,” said Li Nianfan. He paused for a while before continuing, “By the way, bring in the dead game meat, too. We shouldn’t waste them. I’ll make them into delicious cured meat.”
