Chapter 241: A good show is about to begin! Distinguishing the pros and cons!

While his thoughts were flying, Diti did not ignore the plea for help from Randen.

Judging by the current situation, Hongjun seemed to have prepared to burn his bridges.

No matter what, he had to stop him.

He had to buy time for Hongchen and the others to cripple Randen.

Naturally, he could not let them succeed in this situation.

Randen was, after all, the strongest combat force in his hands.

If he were to be harmed by Hongjun and the others,

then when the final battle arrived, the direction in which the scales of victory tipped

would once again face tremendous variables!

"Tongtian, something has happened on Randen's side."

"Shichen and the other one are merely bait to hold me back."

"The true trump card is Hongjun, who is hiding in the shadows."

Having said this, Diti took a gray, hazy stone bead from the world within his palm and handed it to Tongtian.

"This is an upgraded version of the Heaven-Deceiving Bead."

"If my guess is correct, the four of Hongchen who went to intercept Randen should have already been identified by the world as his human calamity."

"That is why they can strike without restraint and not be targeted by the lightning tribulation."

"I have infused this upgraded Heaven-Deceiving Bead with the aura of the Three Thousand Great Daos."

"It can shield all your karma and destiny for three hours, preventing you from being locked onto by the world or disturbed by all things."

"Take it and go support Randen immediately."

Tongtian had not expected that Hongjun and the others would dare to target Randen!

And that they would dare to go so far as to intercept him.

They even sent people to restrain and ambush, preventing Diti from rescuing him in time!

Was this not pure insanity?

Not to mention whether Hongjun and the others could defeat Diti.

Just the ability to use the Demon Realm as a springboard to instantly descend upon any known place where an aura exists—

let alone the three of Hongjun joining forces, even if they called out all of Hongchen and the others,

as long as Diti was determined to leave, no one could stop his footsteps!

Under such circumstances, sending people to intercept Randen?

They would be better off finding a way to gang up on Diti and briefly control him on the spot!

Perhaps, out of respect for Hongjun and the others going all out,

Diti might have stayed put and fought them head-on for a while!

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will go support Randen immediately."

"I will assist him in leaving Hongchen and the others behind!"

Hearing this, Diti shook his head slightly, telling him to stay calm.

"If Randen is not in life-threatening danger, let him use the four of Hongchen as targets to hone his own strength first."

"When he shows signs of being unable to cope, it will not be too late for you to activate the Heaven-Deceiving Bead and join him in battle."

"Furthermore, your purpose in going this time is to help Randen pass his Dao-proclamation tribulation, not to find a way to kill Hongchen and the others."

"Everything must prioritize Randen passing the tribulation safely."

"Other matters can be discarded!"

"In any case, Hongchen and the others will have to be dealt with sooner or later."

"We cannot, because of short-term gains,"

"let them find a loophole that results in damage to Randen's strength, do you understand!"

Diti had already spoken so clearly.

How could Tongtian not understand?

He nodded slightly to indicate he understood.

Respectfully taking the upgraded Heaven-Deceiving Bead, he bowed to Diti to take his leave, then used the Demon Realm as a springboard and Randen's aura as a guide.

He passed through the infinite space-time barriers and arrived outside the range of Randen's tribulation.

Hiding in the gap between Chaos void and space-time void,

he quietly watched Randen, who held the heavenly tribulation in his hands and stepped on Chaos, fighting the four of Hongchen.

He was ready at any moment, when Randen was unable to cope,

to strike in time to drive away the four of Hongchen and protect Randen as he safely passed the tribulation!

And just as Tongtian arrived at the place of Randen's tribulation and waited for the right moment,

the hundred-mile radius shrouded by the River of Time

had already completely headed toward destruction!

The Diti clone within it also gradually turned into nothingness amidst the decay of the world's death, dissipating into Chaos!

"Diti is dead?"

"Diti died just like that without a struggle?"

"This is not what I expected!"

"How is this possible?"

Hongjun, hiding in the void and watching the battlefield,

looked at the Diti clone dissipating into Chaos just like that.

He stood there, stunned, his eyes blank.

He could not believe everything he was seeing!

Diti had been working against him since he descended into the world!

He had made him lose face, lose dignity, and lose treasures several times!

He controlled the Star Court and the God Court, secretly manipulating all living beings in Honghuang Tian Di.

His strength was so powerful that he could beat him to a pulp even as a Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

Such an existence was easily killed by Shichen and Yang Mei without any resistance?

Isn't this pure nonsense?!

However, he neither sensed Diti's aura on Randen's side,

nor found any evidence that Diti had survived or was completely dead.

As such, whether Diti was dead or alive,

he really couldn't be sure...

It was not just Hongjun who felt extremely shocked.

Even Shichen and Yang Mei, who had personally taken action,

felt extremely surprised and puzzled at this moment.

They knew that with their own strength,

it was impossible to defeat Diti in a short time.

So from the very beginning, their goal was to stall for time.

Striving to allow Hongchen and the others to cripple and kill Randen, who was ascending to the rank of Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal!

But the current situation far exceeded their expectations!

Diti is dead?

And he died at their hands!

This kind of thing was simply too unbelievable!

It should have been an impossible thing!

"Could the Diti we killed just be a clone of his?"

"Has his true body already gone to save Randen?"

"Or perhaps, he never came here from the beginning."

"Has he been in seclusion within the Ziwei Emperor Star all along, attempting to proclaim the Dao of Hunyuan Da Luo?"

Shichen's question caused a hint of hesitation to gradually rise on Yang Mei's face.

According to the other's line of reasoning, it could indeed be explained.

Why they alone were able to easily kill Diti.

But if that were the case, it would mean that Diti already knew their true purpose for coming to pick a fight!

Under such circumstances, anyone with a normal brain

would know to bypass them and go support Randen!

If that were really the case, then their blocking here had already lost all meaning.

There was even a risk of being chased and intercepted by Houtu, Tongtian, Nüwa, Fuxi...

and many other supreme beings of the Star Court!

"Your speculation is not impossible."

"We have already alerted the enemy."

"Diti clearly will not come here again."

"Why don't you ask Hongjun if we should go directly to the place where Randen is crossing the tribulation and intercept Diti on his way to support?"

Regarding this proposal from Yang Mei,

Shichen did not hesitate at all and directly rejected it.

"Do you think that with Diti's thinking, he wouldn't anticipate that we might go to the only path to intercept him again?"

"If we set off to intercept him now,"

"as long as one of Fuxi, Houtu, Nüwa, or Tongtian stays behind to guard the Star Radiance God Court, the other three can all come with Diti!" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 242 =====
