Chapter 1062: The Terrified Luo Hou

"What do you mean?"

Not only Tongtian Jiaozhu, but Laozi, Yuanshi, and the others also suddenly had an ominous premonition.

They looked at Luo Hou in unison, filled with vigilance.

Could it be that this was a trap set by Di Qi and Luo Hou in collusion, inviting them into the urn?

Indeed.

Di Qi had always been known for his flawless schemes; how could he have committed such a low-level error, rashly handing over a peerless Array Formation like the Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array to Luo Hou?

Knowing that Luo Hou possessed the Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array and had become a Saint through the birth of the Demon World, how could they have entered so easily?

Furthermore, Luo Hou only became a Saint today.

With Di Qi's cultivation, he could have completely subdued Luo Hou by force before this.

In that way, there would have been no unstable factors.

Yet Di Qi had committed all these errors, so there was only one answer:

Di Qi and Luo Hou were the real allies!

Seeing the suspicious gazes of Laozi and the others, Luo Hou's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoists, do not listen to his nonsense. I can swear a Dao Oath; if I have colluded with Di Qi, may I be destroyed for eternity."

Hearing this, Laozi and the others felt slightly at ease.

Yin Qi, however, smiled; his original intention was to tell Tongtian that he had the absolute strength to handle everything, but as a result, they had become suspicious of Luo Hou.

So he said meaningfully, "Back then, Luo Hou also swore a Dao Oath just like that."

Laozi and the others felt their hearts tighten once more.

Indeed, how could a mere Dao Oath stump the dignified Demon Ancestor?

Luo Hou snorted coldly and said sternly, "Di Qi, didn't you say I was in league with you? Fine, I will strike now. If you trust me, then do not fight back. Die!"

As he spoke, the God-Slaying Spear appeared in his hand.

Boom!

Instantly, endless killing intent erupted outward.

The God-Slaying Spear, an Innate Supreme Treasure, and the number one killing treasure in the Honghuang.

Luo Hou flicked the spear shaft, and the God-Slaying Spear, like a venomous Dragon emerging from its cave, thrust toward Yin Qi from afar; the spear tip vanished into the void, and when it reappeared, it was already before Yin Qi.

It gave one the feeling that a distance of hundreds of millions of miles was but a thin layer under the God-Slaying Spear.

The God-Slaying Spear lived up to its reputation as a killing treasure; endless baleful energy condensed into a single line, charging straight at Yin Qi's glabella, intending to attack his Primordial Spirit.

If it were Laozi and the others, they would likely feel a stinging pain in their Primordial Spirits.

But Yin Qi only felt that the Spear Intent was sharp.

He smiled faintly, appearing slow yet fast, and flicked his finger lightly against the spear tip.

Clang!

The spear tip emitted a sharp metallic sound, and at the same time, it retreated rapidly, returning into the void.

Hmph!

Luo Hou let out a muffled groan, a look of horror flashing in his eyes.

He felt an extremely condensed drilling force transmit from the God-Slaying Spear, which directly cracked the web between his thumb and forefinger, and then his entire right arm felt incredibly painful, as if it had been twisted into a dough twist.

Had he not gritted his teeth to persist, the God-Slaying Spear would have been knocked from his hand.

The drilling force did not stop, surging along his arm straight toward Luo Hou's head.

Luo Hou made a split-second decision; he roared and mobilized the power of the entire Demon World to forcibly extinguish this force.

But his entire arm was already riddled with holes and dripping with blood.

"How is this possible!"

Luo Hou roared in his heart, his eyes full of shock.

He had already become a Saint, and a World Sanctification one at that.

Moreover, he held the killing treasure, the God-Slaying Spear; even if he were no match for Di Qi, it was impossible to be nearly crippled by such a casual flick from the opponent.

Endless Demon Qi surged into his arm, and soon the arm recovered completely.

"What!"

Laozi and the others were also shocked.

They had not expected that Yin Qi could injure Luo Hou, who held the God-Slaying Spear, with a mere flick.

If he were to get serious, would Luo Hou even have his life?

Only then did they suddenly realize that Yin Qi's previous words were not meant to sow discord between them and Luo Hou, but that Yin Qi had not taken Luo Hou, or any of them, to heart at all.

After realizing this, they felt slightly relieved, but were soon overwhelmed by shame, anger, and resentment. Di Qi!

You go too far!

They had racked their brains and plotted for ten thousand years, only to be met with Di Qi's indifference!

This was intolerable.

"Di Qi, you are arrogant!"

"Everyone, strike! Use your full power to drive the Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array!"

"If we do not kill Di Qi today, what is the use of this cultivation of hundreds of millions of years!"

Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, and the others roared one after another.

Even Houtu was filled with grief and indignation.

The seven Great Saints joined forces, driving the Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array with all their might; instantly, the winds and clouds of the entire Demon World shifted, and countless profound runes flashed above the firmament, quickly covering the entire Heaven.

At the same time, countless profound runes also emerged upon the ground.

Not a single error, not a single omission, not a single mistake in the content—take a look!

Countless profound runes from all directions, from the sky and the earth, rapidly advanced toward Yin Qi, and soon they condensed into a massive cage, a cage composed of countless runes.

Viewed from the outside, this cage was rapidly shrinking.

But viewed from the inside, this prison was expanding at an extreme speed.

Luo Hou, Laozi, and the others had burning gazes, still exerting their full strength to drive the Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array, with the ultimate goal of shrinking the cage to the same size as Yin Qi to completely seal and trap him.

"Eh!"

Yin Qi was surprised and suspicious, discovering that this Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array had actually been greatly improved.

He raised his palm and swung down a hand blade.

Boom!

A blade light suddenly appeared and slashed onto the rune prison, yet it only scattered a small portion of the runes.

The entire rune prison remained completely intact.

Do not underestimate this casual hand blade; with Yin Qi's current cultivation, it was enough to exceed a full-strength strike from Laozi.

From this, one can see the formidable nature of this rune prison.

This Luo Hou is truly a talent.

Yin Qi could not help but praise him; Luo Hou was indeed worthy of being someone who could contend with Hongjun Daozu, he truly had some tricks up his sleeve.

Such a great array would have been enough to seal the version of himself from ten thousand years ago.

"Hahaha!"

Luo Hou laughed heartily: "Di Qi, if you hadn't gifted me this Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array and the materials to set it up back then, I would not have been able to improve it on that foundation. How does this feeling of reaping what you sowed feel?"

Yuanshi Tianzun also laughed loudly: "Di Qi, it is useless. Unless the Dao Ancestor comes in person, no one in the Honghuang can break it, even if you possess three Innate Spiritual Treasures.

You had better resign yourself to your fate and obediently accept being sealed.

As for the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty you established, we will gladly accept it, hahaha."

Laozi, Jieyin, Tongtian, and the others were also in high spirits.

After ten thousand years of planning, they were finally about to succeed.

Having accepted the legacy left behind by Yin Qi, their respective sects would become even more glorious.

Yin Qi just smiled faintly: "Are you all rejoicing too early? And you, Luo Hou, what kind of person are you? How could I not have left a contingency plan?"

"What do you mean?"

Luo Hou's pupils constricted; he suddenly had a feeling of palpitations.

Yuanshi Tianzun's laughter also came to an abrupt halt.

Setting up the Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array required a massive amount of resources; even if all the Sages emptied their coffers, they could not have produced it.

Di Qi was not stupid, so how could he have easily handed it over to Luo Hou!

But the Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array had already been improved by Luo Hou; even if Di Qi had left behind some contingency plan back then, it should have been useless by now, so why would Di Qi say such a thing?

If it were anyone else, they would naturally scoff at it.

But Di Qi.

That was a different matter entirely.
