Chapter 36: Luo Hou

Regarding Luo Hou's clumsy provocation,

Diti would naturally not be stupid enough to fall for it.

The other party's current state was undoubtedly prepared to break the pot and smash it, taking one with him if he could.

As long as he restored the flow of heaven and earth and appeared in front of everyone,

Luo Hou would definitely detonate the Western earth veins immediately.

In this situation, he would have to have water in his brain to fight the other party.

What's more, he was here to make a deal, not to fight for his life.

There was no need to put himself in danger!

"Fellow Daoist, don't bring out such small tricks to play with."

"Do you think that with my personality, I would be like that bunch of idiots led by Hongjun,"

"who dared to come find you without even figuring out the most basic intelligence?"

Luo Hou heard this, and the madness in his eyes faded slightly.

He understood that the other party clearly already knew about his plan to blow up the Western earth veins.

He was not surprised by this.

Since the appearance of the upgraded Demon Race Absolute Kill Order, a craze for eliminating demons had suddenly arisen in the Honghuang world.

As the leader and greatest beneficiary of this craze,

the Star Glory Divine Court had not only looted at least one-third of the Demon Race's treasures,

but was also the entity holding the most Demon Race slaves.

From the mouths of the spineless ones, getting some clues, and then through some verification,

one could definitely guess his thoughts.

"Since you know my plan and don't appear to fight, what exactly do you want to do?"

Diti saw that Luo Hou had dropped his disguise, and without beating around the bush, he stated his purpose.

"The God-Slaying Spear, the four Zhuxian Swords, the Zhuxian Formation Map, and your true spirit, in exchange for you living another life."

"How about being able to fight Hongjun again and compete for victory in a fair and square manner?"

Hearing this, Luo Hou could not help but flash some contemplation in his eyes.

Actually, regarding the plan to blow up the Western earth veins,

whether it could kill Hongjun or not, he knew better than anyone.

Establishing the Demon Dao and creating the Demon World was the backup plan he prepared for himself after failing to kill the other party.

At that time, as long as he abandoned his physical body and soul, and integrated his true spirit into the Demon World, he would become an existence similar to the Heavenly Dao.

The cause and effect of the earth veins being destroyed and the West being damaged

would no longer be connected to him.

Instead, it would all be transferred to Hongjun, who forced him to his death.

But if he really took that step,

he would never be able to step into the Honghuang world again.

It was completely a case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred.

"My strength is low, and I can only freeze heaven and earth for sixty breaths."

"Now there are only the last twenty breaths left."

"If you don't agree, then we will part ways."

Seeing Diti issue an ultimatum,

Luo Hou no longer hesitated.

After all, it is better to live a miserable life than to die well.

Rather than staying in the Demon World and suffering the torture of eternal loneliness,

it was better to choose to trust the other party once.

"Good!"

"I promise you, after detonating the Western earth veins, the four Zhuxian Swords, the Zhuxian Formation Map, the God-Slaying Spear, and my true spirit, you can take them all."

"As long as I can win against Hongjun once, what does it matter if I serve you for the rest of my life!"

As Luo Hou whispered in his heart, the world's space-time also resumed its flow.

Hongjun, as a Hunyuan Golden Immortal Perfection expert, naturally sensed that his own time had seemingly appeared to be disconnected from the world just now.

But he did not think that behind all this, it was Diti playing tricks in the dark.

He just treated it as an unknown trick played by Luo Hou as he prepared to reveal his final trump card.

To avoid long nights and many dreams,

he did not dare to talk any more nonsense.

He immediately joined forces with Yinyang to begin the final kill.

And his move was exactly what Luo Hou wanted.

Since he had promised Diti, the Zhuxian Sword snatched away by Hongjun had to be taken back!

To ensure nothing went wrong, he even used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Great Method, burning his origin and soul, to forcibly raise his cultivation to Hunyuan Golden Immortal Perfection!

Making Hongjun and the other think that

the other party was prepared to drag them to death together, so they subconsciously retreated three steps, not daring to get close to him at all.

Luo Hou was overjoyed when he saw this.

He immediately dared not hesitate.

Waving the God-Slaying Spear, he manipulated the Juexian Sword, Xianxian Sword, and Luxian Sword, and rushed straight toward the three external incarnations of Good, Evil, and Self.

"Not good, he wants to take back the Zhuxian Sword!"

Hongjun saw this and immediately understood his intention.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

The cultivation Luo Hou exchanged by burning everything

was not something that mere three external incarnations could compare to.

And his goal was to take the sword, not to kill.

By the time his exclamation fell, the Heart-Piercing Lock that suppressed the Zhuxian Sword had already been severed by Luo Hou!

"Hongjun, it is true that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."

"But wanting to wear the crown of victory steadily is not such an easy thing!"

Seeing that the Zhuxian Sword was in hand, Luo Hou immediately pinched the seal and detonated the Western earth veins!

But unlike the original trajectory,

knowing that he had a chance to start over,

he did not do things to the extreme.

Afraid that the cause and effect of destroying the West would be connected to his new identity,

he only detonated

the earth veins within hundreds of millions of miles around Mount Xumi.

After the explosion, except for the core area being leveled and the landscape of other areas being shattered quite a bit,

it did not suffer a devastating blow.

With the foundation of the Western land, plus more than seventy percent of the earth veins not being destroyed,

it would take at most a few hundred Yuanhui to recover to its peak.

If any living beings were willing to help,

then this time could be accelerated much faster.

"In this way, the cause and effect to be borne should not be too great, right?"

Luo Hou looked at the surrounding world, and while letting out a long sigh of relief in his heart,

he immediately ignored Yinyang, who was alive or dead, and Hongjun, who was covered in the clouds of the heavens, with angry eyes and a ferocious face.

He ascended straight to the clouds of the nine heavens and began his final plan.

"The Great Dao is above, I am the Ancestor of the Demon Dao, Luo Hou. Today, I feel that the Honghuang world is lacking, and there are countless practitioners who act recklessly and have low character!"

"I specially open the Demon World of No-Delusion, No-Desire, No-Law, and No-Calamity!"

"I set the Calamity of Heavenly Demons to test the Dao heart of future practitioners; one thought transforms into an Immortal, one thought transforms into a Demon, all are self-inflicted!"

"From now on, the Demon rises and the Dao fades, the Dao rises and the Demon fades, circulating repeatedly, immortal and indestructible, never stopping!"

As the angry shout fell, boundless demonic energy swept across the eight wildernesses, Dao-rhyme purple lotuses emerged in the void, and strange sounds of demons echoed through heaven and earth!

Even though Hongjun had the protection of the clouds of the heavens, he felt a bit dizzy.

The killing intent and anger that had previously ignited in his heart

were now expanding even more.

Even his eyes could not help but be rendered with a trace of scarlet color!

"The Demon Dao is established!"

"The Demon World is opened!"

Looking at the boundless ocean of merit descending, Luo Hou did not use it to recover himself.

Instead, he poured it all into the evolution of the Demon World.

Anyway, it was useless for him to keep it, so it was better to use it to add bricks and tiles to the Demon World and prepare a backup plan for himself.

"Hongjun, this time you won by relying on schemes and tricks, next time you won't be so lucky!"

Luo Hou looked at the Demon World, which was perfecting and stabilizing at a visible speed under the infusion of boundless merit.

He immediately laughed and said goodbye to Hongjun, and his soul disappeared between heaven and earth!

His true spirit, at the moment of escaping into the Demon World,

was secretly collected into it by Diti with the Chaos Bead.

As for the four Zhuxian Swords, the Zhuxian Formation Map, and the God-Slaying Spear, they had long been collected into his pocket when the earth veins detonated.

"Speaking of which, the West did not suffer devastating damage, and the cause and effect owed by Hongjun is not great."

"Can Jieyin and Zhunti still occupy the two positions of Heavenly Dao Sages?"
