Direct Confrontation

Language has power.

When the Child of Destiny acknowledged his 'agreement,' Li Qi had already achieved his goal.

The moment the agreement was reached, the Heavenly Dao of the Sacred Flame Realm ceased to hinder him and even became his ally.

Often, a simple sentence can achieve this effect.

In this way, Li Qi can proceed to his next step.

Li Qi has recently made a lot of money from the Witchcraft Silkworm, but he's spent it all on it.

"Alright, now that the agreement has been reached, do you still need our help? If you find it troublesome, we can help you take care of your enemies, and then you can take over the territory," Li Qi said.

Li Qi could take care of all those so-called 'Seventh Grade Sacred Flame Tribe' members in one night.

Although they are both seventh-rank, the difference is too great.

They are not even on the same level. The seventh-rank cultivators from all over the world are a level above those from other places in terms of Cultivation Method, Technique Method, and even talent.

This is an insurmountable gap, a disparity at the global level.

Only a select few in the First Rank World can catch up.

These First Rank World are the strongest forces in the endless heavens, apart from the Nine Lands of the World, and are clearly unrelated to the Sacred Flame Realm.

"No need. The Sacred Flame Tribe should handle its own affairs. There's no need for immortals to interfere," Gaga resolutely refused.

"Many people will die. If you handle it yourself... we can take over those places without bloodshed. If you do it, you'll have to command a large army, and the casualties in that kind of war will be considerable," Li Qi warned.

"Peace gained without iron and blood is not true peace," Gaga replied decisively.

Upon hearing this, Li Qi pondered for a moment, then became deeply respectful.

He didn't expect that Gaga's reaction in this regard would be even faster than his. Although she came from an ordinary world, she really hit the nail on the head.

Indeed, that's probably what the Wushen Mountain side thinks too.

He could have allowed his disciples to freely read the answers to all sorts of questions, allowing their cultivation to improve rapidly and their experience to soar, but he simply didn't do that.

The aim is to allow disciples to arrive at their own answers, even if those answers are unorthodox. This kind of "own answer" is the fresh blood of the Dao Lineage.

Wushen Mountain is not lacking in high-level combat power, but it lacks the 'answer' that can take the Dao Lineage a step further. This answer can only be found by the younger generation who are used to finding answers on their own.

Li Qi knew this in his heart, but this time, he was confused when faced with the question of whether or not to ask someone else to help him kill someone, and Gaga reminded him.

"That's right. I didn't expect you to remind me of this principle. As a way of repaying you, I can replace your current Cultivation Method a brand new one. Although it won't help you break through, it can increase your current combat power by three or four times. This has nothing to do with any stance or bestowing favors. It's just to thank you for what you just said," Li Qi said.

"... If that's the case, then I'll accept it." After considering it for a moment, Gaga finally chose to believe Li Qi's words.

His intuition told him that this statement was trustworthy, because even the immortal's tone was different when he said it.

The Sacred Flame Tribe does not have 'expressions'. As beetle-like creatures, they convey all their emotional fluctuations through sound, making them particularly sensitive to tone of voice.

The immortal in front of me is indeed particularly concerned about this kind of thing.

So he accepted.

Li Qi didn't say much either. He took out an eighth-grade Daoist Cultivation Method, condensed it into Divine Will Inheritance, and gently touched it on Gaga's forehead.

Then, the two disappeared without a trace.

Only Gaga remained.

Gaga sat there, seemingly lost in thought.

Li Qi has finally settled the matter of the Child of Destiny.

He and Shen Shuibi returned to the cave once again.

"So, now that you've gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao, are you going to use this world as the origin to set up a grand formation?" Shen Shuibi asked Li Qi curiously.

It is difficult to use the world as an energy source when there is resistance from the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, one must either gain the Heavenly Dao's approval and reach a contract, just like Li Qi.

Alternatively, one could directly Refining the Heavenly Way and turn it into one's own dog.

Li Qi was unwilling to Refining the Heavenly Way, nor was he willing to completely turn the Sacred Flame Realm into a slave race. So he had to go through a lot of trouble and spend several years to finally complete a contract with the Heavenly Dao of this place.

In this way, Shen Shuibi can directly use this world to make arrangements, and she will have some confidence in dealing with the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord and the Green Mountain God.

"Of course not. We're building a reception array here to facilitate the transport of people from the Human Path Golden Platform over Douxiu Six. With the help of the Golden Platform and the reception array, the transport efficiency will likely increase dramatically," Li Qi said with a smile.

"A guiding formation? Oh... Yang Ning? You're really planning to get her to do this?" Shen Shuibi immediately realized.

Li Qi countered, "Why not? If Yang Ning can help, it's a good thing for Mount Luofu. We can take this opportunity to help Mount Luofu recover and find something to do. This industry can't be built by the two of us alone."

"You seem to have set your sights too high." Shen Shuibi frowned, understanding the implication in Li Qi's words.

"With Yang Ning around, that would be two fifth-rank officials. I've also recently made contact with some high-ranking people in the Tang Kingdom through the connections of the flower goddesses in the Shangyuan Garden. There will be other sales opportunities later, not just the Witchcraft Silkworm."

"So, we can totally give it a try... taking over the world cluster. That's not too big an appetite; we can handle it," Li Qi said.

To occupy the world cluster, which means... the same thing as the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord.

"That's difficult, isn't it? Even with Yang Ning's help, it would be hard to do, and we also lack the necessary equipment. Such a large array diagram isn't something that can be obtained so easily, is it?" Shen Shuibi for a moment, seemingly thinking it was unlikely.

"Didn't someone deliver this to us?" Li Qi smiled.

"The array diagram of the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord? You want to steal it? With Yang Ning and me, it's probably impossible to capture him alive and take the array diagram. Defeating him is easy, but capturing him alive is very, very difficult," the rabbit emphasized.

"Of course it's not just the two of you. Mount Luofu isn't just left with only the two of you," Li Qi said.

The rabbit's eyes widened in surprise.

Of course, there are more than just Yang Ning and Shen Shuibi at Mount Luofu.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. As one of the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens of Daoism, Mount Luofu has a second-rank master in charge and once had several third-rank and dozens of fourth-rank powerful forces.

Even though it is now in ruins, Granny Mei, a fourth-rank official, still lives there. When Li Qi came to propose marriage, it was Zhu Fengdan's mount, Dapeng, who personally went to stop him, which gave Li Qi the opportunity to rush in.

"You want Granny Mei to take action? Are you alright? This is extremely unwise. Li Qi, you should reconsider. I don't think it's a good idea." Shen Shuibi's expression changed, and she immediately objected.

"I know your concerns, but we won't take it by force. Granny Mei will just be a witness, so you won't have to worry," Li Qi said.

Li Qi understood what the rabbit was thinking.

If we were to let the only remaining fourth-rank expert from Mount Luofu, Granny Mei, take action, then we would have to be prepared to deal with an opponent of the fourth rank.

Shen Shuibi and Li Qi didn't believe that the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord had no one behind him, so when a fourth-rank official made a move, there would definitely be a fourth-rank official in response. Bullying the weak with the strong is something that can't be said otherwise.

Can Li Qi withstand a battle at the fourth rank? Can Mount Luofu withstand a battle at the fourth rank? Granny Mei's injuries haven't healed yet.

Therefore, Shen Shuibi firmly disagreed with involving Granny Mei.

"Tell me all your plans and ideas. I have a feeling you're thinking about something big," Rabbit said, sitting down and suggesting to Li Qi.

"It's just like I told you before, Mount Luofu can't just sit in its cave and wait to die, it has to take action." Li Qi also sat down, holding the rabbit's hand, and said this.

"I know that, but Yang Ning and I can act now, but Granny Mei can't. If we really attract someone of the same rank, we won't be able to handle it. In fact, if it comes down to the point where we need the Great Shaman to take action, and the Wushen Mountain intervenes, things will become very difficult," Rabbit said.

"That's why I just said that Granny Mei won't take it by force, and I won't trouble her to come here personally. She's still healing her injuries on Wushen Mountain. Only Yang Ning will come," Li Qi explained.

"Then what do you want to do?" the rabbit asked, puzzled.

"I want Yang Ning to absorb some of Granny Mei's aura, so that when the time is right, it can serve as a deterrent to the remaining few nails on Mount Luofu," Li Qi explained.

"If all we can do is intimidate him, then I'm afraid we'll only have to let him go. It will be difficult to capture him alive, and things will be back to square one." Shen Shuibi seemed a little irritated. "So what exactly is your plan to keep the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord here? You're still hiding it from me at a time like this. Well, I'll agree to those ridiculous things you promised, okay? Isn't that what you want?"

Seeing that the rabbit had finally asked the important question, Li Qi laughed and stopped trying to keep them in suspense.

But then I saw him gently open his palm.

But in his palm, he saw a trumpet Trumpet Flower kept cycling between blooming and withering.

At the heart of the Trumpet Flower creeper flower, a drop of dark red liquid floats, struggling as if trying to break free.

Shen Shuibi's pupils contracted.

Such high-grade demonic blood?! And it's even been purified?

Several days had passed, and they were now at a point several light-minutes away from the Sacred Flame Realm, roughly the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

This distance is actually quite far, but for a fifth-rank Sky Swallowing Demon Lord, it's almost like being face-to-face.

It would only take him less than a minute to get from here to the Sacred Flame Realm.

"Is the Mountain God already prepared?" asked the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord.

"It's all ready. I've already formed an array with golden winds, more than enough to cover the entire realm." The Green Mountain God nodded.

At the same time, his Dharma form was released, and the fierce tiger that was hundreds of miles tall reappeared.

"That's good. Let's set off then," said the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord.

After speaking, the two demons attacked simultaneously.

A sudden gust of wind arose in the void!

A fierce wind raged, and countless golden energies stirred, from which countless blades emerged.

The Sky Swallowing Demon Lord suddenly opened its huge mouth, and its ever-changing face opened its massive maw, which was six or seven feet wide, and spat out a mouthful of black water.

These black liquids fell into the wind and were blown into countless powders. Those powders immediately transformed into endless ghostly monsters Demon Soldiers!

But these Demon Soldiers, whipping their ranks, fanning the winds, stirring up raging waves, advanced in all directions, with the drums of the six armies beating and Yao Qi blowing, as if all the formidable enemies ahead would be reduced to dust!

The demons stirred up the demonic wind, which in turn stirred up the golden energy. In the blink of an eye, a million Demon Soldiers appeared in the void!

Looking at these Demon Soldiers again, they turned out to be genuine Demon Soldiers, not Technique Method illusions.

These are the elite troops hidden in the belly of the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord, not some kind of bean-to-soldier concoction.

The reason we can tell is because these Demon Soldiers and generals have Soldier's Qi and have formed a military formation!

The Soldier's Qi soared to the heavens, and the drums beat incessantly. With the blessing of the Green Mountain God, these million Demon Soldiers appeared fierce and awe-inspiring.

But then the Green Mountain God said, "With such a mighty army, the Demon Lord is enough to slaughter an entire realm. So I will not be stingy anymore. I happen to have some treasures that can be used by the Demon Lord's army."

After speaking, the Green Mountain God waved his hand, and the endless golden winds in the void all fell to the ground.

Since ancient times, gold has been used as an ornament. Gold corresponds to the number of the five elements and has a solemn and murderous aura. Therefore, the Soldier's Qi is composed of metal objects, and the grades are not low at all, which perfectly matches the cultivation level of these Demon Soldiers! They range from the Subordinate Ninth Rank to the seventh grade.

The golden energy then transformed into five blades, which fell into the hands of these demons.

The so-called five blades are: knife, sword, spear, halberd, and arrow.

There are also unusual weapons such as the halberd, the spear, the hammer, and the club.

With their weapons, the Demon Soldiers bowed and shouted, "Thank you for the mountain god's gift!"

Then they displayed their weapons, showing off their might, wielding the powerful spears of Qu Lu and the mighty halberds of Meng Yun, their spear tips brushing the clouds, their long swords upright and righteous, with two mighty halberds on the left and a pair of Gan Jiang swords on the right, their Soldier's Qi blazing.

But then they saw that the Demon Soldiers' Soldier's Qi formed a red formation, with crimson bows and arrows, red feathers and crimson chambers, looking like fire and dazzling the morning sun!

These million Demon Soldiers alone are enough to slaughter all living things in the entire Sacred Flame Realm.

So the two demons led a million Demon Soldiers and charged toward the Sacred Flame Realm.

Halfway there.

Just then, suddenly, in the boundless void, a bright moon cast its light, as if spreading out a wide and flat road in the darkness.

A faint moon shines through the misty sky, its light lingering, while frost blankets the heavens.

The Taiyin Qi, stretching for billions of miles, blocked the Demon Soldiers' path.

"Oh? The one blocking the way has arrived. This strength is indeed impressive. The remnants of Mount Luofu are certainly capable." Upon seeing this, the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord felt reassured.

That's certainly good, but at this level, he's far from being a match for her.

It should be noted that in Baiyue, it took the combined efforts of several Baiyue Sovereign and the Righteous Sword Palace to 'suppress' the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord, demonstrating its power.

So he reached out his hand.

From the void, a devouring force unfolded.

A gigantic maw, spanning tens of thousands of miles, emerged from the void!

A foul, fishy smell wafts over!

Sky Dog Eating the Moon!
