"Who's that? Is he going to reseal the Demon Lord?"
"What a young boy!"
"He's already this powerful, and you still call him a boy? He could be an Old Monster who's lived for several thousand years!"
"Wait, he looks familiar. No way, isn't he one of the two mysterious powerhouses we were pursuing?"
"It really is him. What is he trying to do? Is he going to suppress the Demon Lord?"
The experts from all sides were utterly shocked by Tongtian's sudden appearance, and they all began guessing that he intended to kill the newly emerged Demon Lord.
However, while everyone stared in stunned disbelief, the boy reached out toward Chen Family's Eighth and said, "That. Give it to me."
Not to mention the spectators—even Chen Family's Eighth was somewhat dumbfounded.
Chen Family's Eighth lowered his head and looked at himself. It took him quite a while to recover before he raised the Heaven Restraining Rope in his hand and asked, "You mean this?"
"Mm. This one. Give it to me." Tongtian's tone was indisputable.
Chen Family's Eighth let out a feral laugh and was just about to speak when he suddenly frowned. "Huh? That scent... The Chen Family's scent. Are you of the Chen Family's bloodline?"
"Not giving it to me? Then I'll take it myself."
Tongtian said impatiently. He took one step forward and appeared before Chen Family's Eighth.
Before Chen Family's Eighth could react, Tongtian had already extended both hands and seized the other two ends of the Heaven Restraining Rope.
In an instant, the Heaven Restraining Rope was pulled taut. A streak of sword light flashed along its chains, slashing straight toward Chen Family's Eighth at the other end.
"This..."
Chen Family's Eighth was shaken to the core. He felt as though a Tongtian's Sword was descending upon him!
He was a ninth-tier Divine Emperor, after all—the strongest existence below the Heavenly Rank!
Yet beneath these sword lights, he felt as tiny as an ant and could not even summon the will to resist.
How was this possible?!
While Chen Family's Eighth stood in a daze, he was already dragged into the air by the Heaven Restraining Rope. The rope wrapped around his body fell away with a clatter until even the section in his hand slipped free. His entire body then crashed to the ground face-first like a dog eating dirt.
Tongtian shook both hands, and the Heaven Restraining Rope instantly became two short chains.
He stored the Heaven Restraining Rope in his Niwan Palace, turned around, and left without even sparing Chen Family's Eighth a glance.
Tongtian left the Demon-Sealing Grounds and returned to his original position. Looking at the two broken chains in his hands, he commented, "Although it's broken, it should still be usable after some refining!"
"Two Innate Spiritual Treasures. Not bad, not bad!"
"It's just a pity that I haven't taken down the Tomb Guardian Elder yet..."
The spectators in the distance had thought Tongtian was going to kill the Demon Lord, so they were all completely bewildered by what had just happened.
He took the Heaven Restraining Rope and simply left. What was going on?
What happened to killing the Demon Lord?
Even if he wasn't going to kill him, he could at least have reinforced the seal and resealed him!
He took the treasure and left just like that. What kind of situation was this?
Only Chu Yu clapped her hands and cheered, "Old Immortal is so amazing! That demon was beaten down and didn't even dare fight back! So amazing!"
The Tomb Guardian Elder glanced at Tongtian, then pressed a hand to his forehead as the corner of his mouth twitched repeatedly.
He had a lot he wanted to say, but he did not know how to put it.
"Ah! Aaaah!"
Within the Demon-Sealing Grounds, Chen Family's Eighth finally came to his senses and roared in humiliation and fury.
He had been inexplicably beaten until he fell flat on his face. What a disgrace, what a disgrace!
Chen Family's Eighth was the Evil Ancestor who had devoured the six supreme powerhouses of the evil path. How could he accept such humiliation?!
"No matter who you are, I'll tear you apart!"
After getting to his feet, Chen Family's Eighth threw back his head and roared furiously. Every strand of his black hair stood straight up, and boundless demonic energy boiled around him.
Boom, boom, boom—
Without the Heaven Restraining Rope as a weapon, Chen Family's Eighth's fists struck like dragons as he bombarded the Demon-Quelling Swords. He was equally fierce and invincible, beating the Demon-Quelling Swords until they trembled wildly, as if they might shatter at any moment!
If no one stopped him, he might be able to break out of the formation after another ten breaths.
But at that moment, the Tomb Guardian Elder sighed. "Sigh, they've arrived."
Immediately afterward, the Tomb Guardian Elder straightened his back and said to the Great Demon, "Fulfill your duty as the Eastern Law Enforcer. Any immortal or god who invades the Mortal Realm without cause must be killed without mercy!"
The Great Demon seemed to have sensed something as well. He nodded heavily. "Don't worry. Not one of them will escape!"
The Tomb Guardian Elder then looked toward Tongtian and said solemnly, "The time has come to prove that you aren't Heaven. Later, attack together with me!"
Tongtian paid him no attention. He was currently trying to fuse the broken Heaven Restraining Rope back together.
The Tomb Guardian Elder's face darkened. After taking a deep breath, he said, "There's a treasure!"
Tongtian instantly raised his head. His fighting spirit surged as he asked, "Who are we hitting?"

Seeing Tongtian's expression, the Tomb Guardian Elder was rendered speechless.
But this was not the time to discuss such things. He turned his head toward the direction of the Western Paradise.
The Western Paradise was being ravaged by violent winds, and a gust of gloomy wind rippled through the air.
A gigantic stone platform that combined evil and holiness descended through the air amid a sea of blood, pressing majestically above the Tantai Ruins.
Chen Family's Eighth's fury instantly vanished. He said hatefully, "Eternal Forest! Platform for Appointing Generals!"
The moment he finished speaking, movement arose again in the west. A surging wave of demonic energy shot into the sky and swept over.
The next moment, a ten-zhang-tall stone stele fell from within the demonic energy!
The stele looked worn, as if it had existed for endless years, yet bright-red blood flowed across its surface, making it look exceptionally eerie.
Looking at the stone stele, Chen Family's Eighth gritted his teeth. "Demon Suppressing Stone!"
The Tomb Guardian Elder stared at the Platform for Appointing Generals and the Demon Suppressing Stone. His eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Tongtian's gaze, however, was entirely different. It was blazing hot!
A Divine Treasure! Definitely a Divine Treasure!
Although it was not an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it was absolutely one of the finest Acquired Spiritual Treasures!
"Are we attacking yet?" Tongtian asked impatiently.
The Tomb Guardian Elder hurriedly stopped him. "Wait, wait a little longer. More people and treasures are coming!"
Tongtian was just about to speak when a gentle azure light streaked across the horizon. A Jade Ruyi Scepter then descended from within it.
Standing atop the Jade Ruyi Scepter was a graceful Goddess. Smiling brightly, she giggled, "What a lively scene. Old Undying, why have all these things appeared so soon? I haven't even recovered yet!"
The latter words were directed at the Tomb Guardian Elder. She then descended directly beside him.
The Tomb Guardian Elder kept a stern face. "Have you no manners?"
Goddess tugged at the Tomb Guardian Elder's beard and said with a grin, "Fine, Old Undying Grandmaster!"
This Goddess was none other than Xuanxuan's daughter. Xuanxuan was the Tomb Guardian Elder's disciple, and she was also the daughter of the Primordial Era's First Forbidden God, Dugu Baitian—Dugu Xiaoxuan!
Suddenly, Dugu Xiaoxuan turned around and frowned. "Who are you? Why are you staring at me?"
The Tomb Guardian Elder glanced at Tongtian and sighed. "Girl, wash your eyes. He isn't looking at you. He's looking at the Jade Ruyi Scepter beneath your feet!"
Dugu Xiaoxuan followed Tongtian's gaze downward and discovered that he really was looking at her Jade Ruyi Scepter.
"Huh? Old Undying, the aura on this guy is so familiar. Is he an old acquaintance?"
After sizing Tongtian up a few more times, Dugu Xiaoxuan realized that he possessed an aura she found extremely familiar.
The Tomb Guardian Elder paused before saying, "Those old fellows are almost all coming back. It's not as though I know every one of them. Perhaps you met him while following your parents. Hmm... In any case, he's just an Old Monster!"
He did not tell her that Tongtian had devoured Dugu Xiao Bai. Otherwise, Dugu Xiaoxuan would surely have fought Tongtian to the death.
Dugu Xiaoxuan now had only her divine soul remaining, and her strength was no longer at its peak. She was no match for this mysterious Tongtian.
Dugu Xiaoxuan nodded, but she was still deeply suspicious whenever she looked at Tongtian. She always felt a sense of closeness between them.
"The Eastern and Western factions of the Heavenly Realm really are restless. Just wait while I go kill them!"
The speaker was the Great Demon. Once he finished speaking, he disappeared, and the sounds of slaughter and battle soon rang out in the distance.
"Why are you sneaking around? Come out!"
At that moment, Tongtian transformed his hand into a sword and slashed directly into the void to the west.
"Ow!"
A cry of pain came from the void. Immediately afterward, a figure tumbled out of it.
Blood-red light soared around the figure's body, and crimson hair hung messily over his shoulders. But his lower body was not human-shaped—it was a three-zhang-long snake tail!
Moreover, a vertical eye stood in the center of his brow.
