Chapter 178: Taking the Black Tortoise into the Chaos Bead

After all, the appearance of a large-scale deep-sea cavity

would definitely cause a huge change in the entire North Sea of Ming.

At that time, the commotion caused by the rapid backflow and refilling of seawater,

as long as one was not blind, almost everyone would be able to notice!

That was why Diti chose such a clumsy method.

Even though the operation of the entire process lasted for hundreds of years,

only then did he shrink the Black Tortoise to the size of one zhang square.

But as long as it did not attract outside attention,

this loss of time was nothing to him!

As for why he did not wake up the Black Tortoise at this moment?

The other party was, after all, an existence at the perfection of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

The reason he was able to easily suppress the other party's divine soul

was entirely because the other party's divine soul was already in a state of deep sleep.

He just went with the flow, applied a little pressure to it, guided the other party into a deeper level of slumber, and sealed the Black Tortoise's perception of the outside world.

If he were to wake it up now,

with its ferocity erupting, the restraint of the Size as Desired divine ability would definitely be broken instantly.

At that time, a Black Tortoise covering most of the North Sea of Ming would suddenly span the firmament and manifest between heaven and earth.

If Hongjun and the others did not come to investigate,

it would count as them being blind, deaf, and lacking in sense!

"Finally done."

"Next, I just need to find Luo Hou and have him use the divine ability of the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon race to briefly wake up the Black Tortoise's consciousness, and then I can carry out the final step of the plan."

After taking the Black Tortoise into the Chaos Bead,

Diti immediately tore through space and time, used the Demon Realm as a springboard, followed Luo Hou's aura, crossed the infinite space-time barrier, and arrived at the junction of the peak of Mount Buzhou and the Thirty-Three Heavens!

"Roar!!"

"Di Jun, Taiyi, Kunpeng, if you have the guts, come out and fight me for three hundred rounds!"

"Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti, you bunch of cowardly turtles, only knowing how to hide behind three mangy birds, if you have the ability, come out and duel me one-on-one!"

"I, your father, will take you all on one-on-one!"

"..."

For these years, Luo Hou had strictly executed Diti's orders.

Every now and then, he would come to harass the Demon Race Heavenly Court.

Anyway, with the cultivation of a half-step Hunyuan Da Luo and the many medicinal pills he carried with him as a guarantee,

whether it was luring all of Di Jun and the others out

to conduct a great melee affecting the Thirty-Three Heavens,

or luring one of them out

to have a one-on-one fight,

he could always escape unscathed.

And within about a year, he would make a comeback and continue to provoke Di Jun and the others at the gate of the Heavenly Court.

However, with the increase in the number of provocations,

the three of Yuanshi discovered that every time they went out, they were passively beaten and had no power to fight back at all.

So they were determined not to take action to besiege Luo Hou again.

At first, they were indeed very rampant,

thinking that no one could pose a threat to them.

But the beating from reality made them thoroughly understand what kind of goods they were.

In the choice between life and reputation,

they eventually chose the former and abandoned the latter.

Even if Luo Hou scolded them as harshly as possible, they pretended not to hear.

They kept the gate of their cave dwelling tightly closed and dared not step out even half a step.

Di Jun and the other two, however, had nowhere to hide and no way to avoid it.

At the current stage, the importance they placed on reputation far exceeded their own lives.

If they were like the three of Yuanshi, letting Luo Hou clamor outside,

the prestige accumulated by the Demon Race Heavenly Court over these years would definitely dissipate in one day and could never be gathered again.

Even the vassal races under their command, and the seventy percent of the Honghuang land they controlled, would gradually face a crisis of insubordination.

Therefore, Di Jun could only dispatch Bai Ze and others to the lower realm to patrol, control, and conquer the many races and living beings within the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses.

While the three of them guarded the Thirty-Three Heavens to the death,

ready at all times to deal with Luo Hou's surprise attacks.

Although they could not completely suppress Luo Hou,

nor could they keep him in the Thirty-Three Heavens,

they could at least have a story to tell the outside world:

Luo Hou was a loser who had been defeated and expelled by them,

rather than them being defeated by him and unable to protect the living beings under their command.

In order to make this lie flawless,

Di Jun also ordered the blockade of the junction between the peak of Mount Buzhou and the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Except for Luo Hou who could enter and exit freely, no living being or any news could be passed from the inside to the outside!

In this way, the situation of the battle was up to them to decide.

Even if Luo Hou told others the truth,

with the current influence and deterrent power of the Demon Race Heavenly Court,

it was highly probable that no living being would believe what he said.

After all, a loser who had been "expelled" by them repeatedly

wanted to smear the Demon Race Heavenly Court through rumors.

Such an excuse and reason were obviously extremely reasonable!

"You reckless beast!"

"You have already been expelled by us I don't know how many times."

"How dare you come to commit an offense again!"

Not long after Luo Hou clamored, Taiyi descended first, sacrificed the Annihilation Divine Spear, and killed him fiercely!

"Mangy bird, just by yourself, you want to fight me!"

"You are the one who is truly reckless and overestimating yourself!"

Seeing Taiyi appear, Luo Hou directly condensed a spear of evil aura and greeted him!

In an instant, the two collided.

Endless evil aura swept across the firmament, immeasurable destruction shattered space and time, and between the collisions of weapons, the terrifying aftermath capable of obliterating Da Luo Golden Immortals spread to the surroundings.

However, fortunately, the area between the peak of Mount Buzhou and the Thirty-Three Heavens had long since become a place of dead silence and nothingness after hundreds of battles.

Except for broken mountain rocks, there was nothing else left!

Di Jun and Kunpeng knew that Taiyi alone could not suppress Luo Hou, let alone take any advantage from his hands.

While Taiyi and Luo Hou were fighting for their lives,

the two had already quietly arrived around them,

ready to launch a sneak attack at any time, attempting to take him down completely!

And just as Luo Hou and Taiyi were fighting,

within the Human Race, a huge change was taking place!

In order to let the three ancestors of the Human Race return to their positions as soon as possible,

ever since the Human Race was sent to the Honghuang land,

except for the gift of some basic information, helping them divide a territory, and teaching them the belief of self-improvement and never giving up,

Tongtian did not give the Human Race too much help.

Even if some humans died in the mouths of beasts or from diseases,

he did not take action to treat them.

This was a process that the Human Race had to go through

if they wanted to survive

and even gain a foothold within the Honghuang Tian Di!

No one could help them in the slightest!

And the Human Race did not disappoint him.

By chance, Suiren-shi, from the scene of thunder striking the earth and burning all things,

realized the Great Dao of Fire, ignited the Human Race's firewood with his own blood and energy, dispelled darkness and demon beasts for the Human Race, and protected the peace of one side of the world.

Afterwards, he did not hide or cover up anything,

widely spread the means of controlling and using fire he had realized to the Human Race, and shared what he had gained selflessly!

Today, when the means of controlling and using fire have spread to all tribes of the Human Race, making countless humans no longer fear the coming of darkness,

Suiren-shi finally achieved perfection in merit, causing the merit of the Human Dao to fall.

Under the eyes of everyone, he ascended to the sky in one step and stepped into the realm of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal!
