"Ancestor, are you serious?"
"Silly child, would I lie to you? I nurtured this bone with Chaos Qi, and now it has undergone a transformation."
"Ancestor, let's put the bone aside for now.
"I just want to know, are you certain you killed that child back then?"
"Tian'er, do you know something?"
The Tenth Ancestor looked at Di Juetian, his expression a little grave, and asked.
"I suspect that child didn't die back then."
Di Juetian said it outright.
"That's right, he really didn't die."
Di Juetian froze when he heard this.
"For some reason, that child survived."
"I personally made my move back then. There wasn't a trace of life left for a hundred thousand li around."
"It turned into an endless abyss."
"But once, while my spirit was wandering, I suddenly sensed a familiar presence. At first, I couldn't remember where I knew it from."
"Then, when I sensed that bone, I remembered. Wasn't this the little child whose Dao Bone I dug out before?"
"Then, Ancestor, you let him go?"
Di Juetian was quite curious.
"What happened before was my mistake. When I saw him this time, I had an idea."
Di Juetian's expression changed when he heard that.
After all, the Child of Fortune had a Luck Halo. Could the ancestor have been influenced by it without realizing it?
"I changed my appearance."
"I became his master."
Di Juetian's expression changed.
Isn't this ancestor setting me up for a fall? Does he think the Di Lineage has lived too long?
"Then, while he was cultivating, I knocked him out and dug out the new bone he had formed."
"After that, not even his bones remained."
Seeing the Tenth Ancestor's smug expression,
Di Juetian suddenly understood why he had this kind of physique.
Badness runs in the family. Even the heavens probably can't stand watching anymore.
That was all Di Juetian could think.
"Tenth Ancestor, I didn't expect you to have such a nasty streak."
"Ancestor, when you wiped him out, did any strange phenomena appear?"
Hearing Di Juetian's question, the Tenth Ancestor thought for a moment.
"It only rained. Nothing else happened. I even kept watch there for three days."
"I also smashed that meteorite outside that stretch of the void."
"And I casually wiped out a few small worlds in the outer domain's void."
"It was all to keep that fellow from coming back to life."
"Then, when I saw no strange phenomena appear, I came back."
"The bone I had just dug out fused with the one I'd nurtured before."
"This Dao Bone is now two Dao Bones fused together."
"I imagine it should boost your strength considerably."
With that, the Tenth Ancestor placed the Dao Bone in Di Juetian's palm.
After sensing Di Juetian's presence, the Dao Bone actually began to tremble audibly.
It was as if it were afraid.
Di Juetian was stunned when he saw this.
He hadn't expected the ancestor to have nurtured this Dao Bone to the point where it was nearly developing its own intelligence.
The ancestor also looked at Di Juetian smugly.
"Thank you, Ancestor."
Di Juetian bowed to the ancestor.
Di Juetian knew that things were fine while he was with the Lineage, since the ancestor could keep the situation contained within it.
It would be a lie to say the ancestor didn't worry when he was outside.
"This is my Lineage, the Di Lineage."
You sons of fortune, whether you stand on the moral high ground or whatever else, as long as you dare harbor the desire to destroy my Lineage, you must all die.
"For the sake of my Lineage, you sons of fortune can become my stepping stones."
"Go ahead and fuse with it."
Di Juetian didn't stand on ceremony when he heard that.
He looked at the Dao Bone, then sat cross-legged in the void.
The Dao Bone had originally wanted to resist.
But after Di Juetian's presence bore down on the Dao Bone,
the Dao Bone fell quiet.
Seeing this, the ancestors exchanged glances.
Something like a Dao Bone could be said to be much the same as something born and nurtured by heaven and earth.
They could easily suppress it because they were strong enough, but just how strong was Di Juetian?
They hadn't expected Di Juetian to do it so easily.
After seeing Di Juetian easily fuse with the Dao Bone,
the ancestors were relieved.
If anything had really gone wrong, they would have crushed the Dao Bone.
That was how overbearing the Di Lineage was.
Rumble.
Just then, a powerful presence appeared.
The void around Di Juetian began to collapse.
Wisps of chaotic mist appeared.
They floated around Di Juetian.
Di Juetian also opened his eyes.
His gaze was cold, without a trace of warmth.
Two beams of light emerged from his eyes.
They pierced straight through the void, revealing a view of the outer domain.
The ancestors were shocked.
"When did this little fellow break through to the Divine Ability Realm? He's even reached the Seventh Layer of Divine Ability."
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? It seems this little fellow has had quite a fortuitous encounter."
"But what kind of fortuitous encounter could let him control the Demon Body?"
"Hard to say. The Immortal Domain has existed for far too long. Who knows how many extraordinary people have appeared?"
"This little fellow's perseverance has been different from other people's since he was young."
"Being able to control the Demon Body is a testament to his own ability."
The ancestors looked at Di Juetian, their eyes filled with relief.
After all, a controllable Chaos Devil Physique, combined with a powerful background, would definitely give him the strength to suppress the Immortal Domain once he had grown.
"Dao Palace, open!"
But just then, Di Juetian suddenly cried out.
Chaos Qi began to appear.
Everything within a hundred thousand li of the Di Lineage was drained in an instant.
Seeing this, the ancestors sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Even the Heaven-Knowing Realm isn't this terrifying, is it?"
"No, but haven't you noticed that the energy still isn't enough?"
"This brat put us old fellows through the wringer when he was born."
"And now he can't even break through without causing a stir."
The Eighth Ancestor sounded as though he were sighing, but the upturned corners of his mouth showed how happy he was.
"How much energy did you absorb when you broke through to the Dao Palace Realm?
"I remember mine was a million li."
The Tenth Ancestor spoke.
"Mine was nine hundred and eighty thousand."
"Mine was also nine hundred and eighty thousand."
The Thirteenth and Sixteenth Ancestors spoke as well.
"I didn't expect this little fellow to have reached a hundred thousand li before even entering the realm. No, it's already three hundred thousand li."
Seeing the range suddenly expand by another two hundred thousand li, the ancestors were still smiling, not worried in the least.
After all, the Di Lineage was no pushover.
The Di Lineage occupied an entire province of an Immortal Domain.
While the ancestors were still wondering, the range had already reached a million li.
Di Juetian absorbed all the energy within a million li, but he still hadn't entered the Dao Palace Realm.
