When Shennong asked him, Ao Guang shook his head, genuinely having no clue about the sudden upheaval in the Sea Eye.

Most importantly, it's now very difficult for him to enter the Sea Eye; one wrong move and he could perish inside.

That's why they sought help from the human race and the Heavenly Court.

Unexpectedly, this matter even Human Emperor, and from the Heavenly Court, Haotian and Yaochi, two of the Five Directional Emperors, also arrived.

It's clear that both sides attach great importance to this!

After a brief discussion, the four of them set off for the Sea Eye to see what was going on.

Just after the group entered the Sea Eye, a figure appeared in the East Sea; it was none other than the Supreme Inner Demon, one of the Three Thousand Heavenly Demons.

"Is he the reincarnation of Candle Dragon?"

The Inner Demon looked at the Candle Dragon who was cultivating, murmured something, and then immediately made a move, using its Quasi-Saint cultivation to forcibly interfere with the Candle Dragon, and finally succeeded in bewitching its mind.

The person is still Candle Dragon, but their mind has been lost, and they have amplified certain aspects of Candle Dragon's emotions to the extreme.

"Go, go! The human race now dominates all other races and desires to penetrate the Four Seas and seize the Dragon Clan's territory. Only by killing her can we extinguish the will of Shennong."

"Kill her."

As Candle Dragon watched the Nuwa playing in the East Sea, a series of thoughts surfaced in his mind.

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, and the Purple Lightning Divine Spear suddenly appeared in his hand. A purple light flashed, and the spear moved like a dragon, accompanied by divine thunder.

"Boom!"

The spear's edge pierced through the Nuwa!

Upon witnessing this, the Inner Demon burst into laughter and immediately left the East Sea.

This is not the territory of the demons, and moreover, the Human Emperor Shennong and the two God of the Heavenly Court are also here. He doesn't want to die inexplicably.

The Inner Demon thought his act was flawless, but two figures on the Ziwei Star in the Starry Sky saw it all clearly.

"After so many cycles, Luohu's methods haven't improved at all; he still only knows how to resort to these despicable tricks."

Donghua smiled dismissively; the Demon Ancestor was still the same familiar Demon Ancestor.

The West Queen Mother replied, "It is indeed quite despicable, but it really works."

"The daughter of the Human Emperor, the reincarnation of Candle Dragon, neither side will abandon her. But since they won't abandon her, there must be an explanation. Therefore, war is the only option."

Donghua sighed and said, "That's true!"

"Get ready, Luohu should be appearing soon. I estimate he will take action personally, but I don't know if it will be an avatar or his true form."

At this moment, at the East Sea Eye, Haotian, Yaochi, Shennong, Xuan Ming, Ao Guang, and others gazed at the Sea Eye ahead, where towering waves were being stirred up, and a terrifying power was accumulating there.

Haotian frowned. This situation was very rare. The only possibility was that there was a problem with the Ancestor Dragon that was suppressing the Sea Eye.

With a wave of his right hand, the Haotian Pagoda rose into the wind, instantly covering the Sea Eye. Boundless power burst forth and pressed down, instantly turning the towering waves of the Sea Eye into nothingness.

"Haotian Mirror, appear."

A golden light flashed, Haotian Mirror shone into the Sea Eye, transmitting the situation inside.

"How so?"

"How could it be Senior Ancestor Dragon!"

"Ancestor Dragon..."

The shock of the group was indescribable, for what they saw before them was the Ancestor Dragon stirring up the Sea Eye, seemingly trying to break free from its seal.

Although Shennong did not know what had happened, he decisively said:

"We can't wait any longer. If the Ancestor Dragon continues to cause destruction, the Sea Eye might really erupt, and the waters of the Four Seas will cover the Primordial Wilderness. This would be an unprecedented disaster."

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang immediately became anxious. With the world undergoing tremendous changes, the Ancestor Dragon and others might return. If they were to be completely suppressed at this critical juncture, there would be no chance of anything else.

"Let's think of other ways. Something must have happened to Ancestor Dragon, otherwise he would never have stirred up the Sea Eye at this time."

Seeing this, Haotian was not in a hurry at all. He carefully examined the true form of the Ancestor Dragon, as if searching for something.

"Don't worry, even if the Ancestor Dragon wanted to break the current Sea Eye, it wouldn't be easy, let alone even if he did break the seal, the current era is no longer the ancient era."

"The Heavenly Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable, shines upon the Three Realms, and the Saint, Act as Heaven's Emissary. Suppressing the Ancestor Dragon and the Sea Eye would be a piece of cake."

The group nodded in affirmation. It was indeed no longer the ancient era. Back then, the suppression of Earth Fire Water Wind was gone, and the three of them transformed into Dao, leaving only their true forms to suppress the elements.

With the Heavenly Emperor and the Saint present, it seems indeed easy to deal with them. Thinking of this, the worries on everyone's faces disappeared.

Times have changed!

But Ao Guang's worried expression remained the same, after all, the one going mad inside was his ancestor, the Dragon Clan's faith.

"Why don't we go inside and observe? The Ancestor Dragon's true form is suppressing the Sea Eye, which is restricted by the Heavenly Dao. Unless there are special circumstances, it will never be like this."

Ao Guang quietly offered a suggestion: he wouldn't dare go in alone, but with these people around, he wouldn't be afraid at all.

Haotian nodded. "Fellow Daoist Ao Guang is right. In any case, we still have to go in and take a look."

Shennong had no objection. "Alright, I agree."

The group then worked together to create an opening in an instant, flying into the Sea Eye.

As soon as Haotian entered the Sea Eye, he immediately sensed something was wrong. This place was different from a normal Sea Eye; it gave people a feeling of heavy pressure. Under the scan of his Dharma Eye, the visibility was very low.

"Everyone be careful, the situation here is unclear."

Xuan Ming immediately summoned the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus to protect his head, and Haotian also summoned the Haotian Pagoda above his head, while Shennong summoned the precious Kongtong Seal above his head.

Each person used different methods, and they moved forward slowly.

"Oh no, there's demonic energy here!"

As soon as they ventured deeper, Xuan Ming cried out urgently. Judging from the feedback from the Pure World White Lotus, there was a thick layer of demonic energy ahead of them.

Haotian frowned and said, "Let's go, leave this place. Since there is demonic energy here, it must be related to Luohu. This is beyond our ability to handle. Go back and report to the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable."

The group nodded and immediately left.

Just then, a black lotus appeared behind them, and the group immediately summoned their magical treasures and formed a battle array.

The black lotus shimmered with light before transforming into a dark shadow.

"Di Shitian!"

Haotian exclaimed in surprise, he never expected that it would be Di Shitian who appeared here.

Although the visitor was Di Shitian, Haotian and the others did not dare to be careless at all, as his cultivation was absolutely in a class of its own Below Hunyuan.

Among them, Haotian's cultivation level is at the Late Stage Quasi-Saint, Yaochi's is at the Mid Quasi-Saint, Shennong, although possessing the supreme treasure Kongtong Seal, is only at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, and Xuan Ming is at the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal level.

Di Shitian glanced at the group, said nothing, and immediately took action. The World-Destroying Black Lotus appeared, and three thousand black lotuses instantly materialized in the surrounding space.

Each black lotus represents a great path!

With a single clench of his hand, Di Shitian three thousand black lotuses to move simultaneously, instantly forming an array that trapped everyone inside.

Faced with such an attack, the group seemed powerless, having no good way to deal with it.

Haotian channeled his boundless magical power, imbuing the Haotian Mirror with the power of the Emperor's Great Dao. A beam of light flashed and struck the array formed by the black lotus.

"Buzz!"

This attack, powerful enough to kill an ordinary Quasi-Saint, seemed to strike the surface of water without causing any damage.

The Haotian Sword appeared. Haotian held the sword in one hand, activating all the Great Daos, including the Emperor's Great Dao, the Yin-Yang Great Dao, the Five Elements Great Dao, and the Creation Great Dao, before unleashing a single sword strike.

The sword energy surged for billions of miles, vast and mighty.

Di Shitian smiled slightly, formed a hand seal, and released boundless demonic light from the three thousand black lotuses, while the Three Thousand Great Daos simultaneously suppressed it down.

"Boom!"

The endless sword energy and sword light shattered instantly and vanished without a trace.

"Town!"

As Di Shitian uttered his word, three thousand black lotuses converged into a Tongtian spear shadow, directly suppressing Haotian.

"Fall!"

The Haotian Pagoda rose up, resisting the suppression of the Black Lotus, seemingly trying to suppress it in return.

The moment Haotian Pagoda and the spear shadow collided, Haotian Tower was knocked to the ground, and the spear shadow was about to hit Haotian Tower.

Yaochi immediately made her move, her Golden Hairpin flashing as if a rift had been torn open in space and time.

"Bump!"

The two great forces collided and then vanished without a trace.

Everyone looked at Di Shitian in astonishment. Although they knew he was strong, they hadn't expected him to be this strong. His strength definitely exceeded the Quasi-Saint realm.

"Interesting!" Di Shitian was slightly incredulous to see that his attack had been blocked by the two of them.

"You two fellow Daoists are indeed worthy of being called Hongjun Boys and Heavenly Court God; you do possess some strength, but before me, you are no match!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Shitian unleashed his full power, waving his hands to send three thousand black lotuses crashing down.

Haotian and Yaochi felt immense pressure; facing the three thousand black lotuses was like facing the Three Thousand Great Daos.

A black lotus descended, and Haotian tried to block it with his sword, but the Haotian Sword was suppressed by the black lotus.

Another black lotus descended, suppressing the Haotian Pagoda and the Haotian Mirror.

Upon seeing this, Haotian immediately shouted, "I'll cover your retreat! You all leave this place immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Haotian unleashed his full power, and a Dharma Image appeared. The Emperor Dharma Image carried nine True Dragons of fortune and punched upwards.

"Break!"

One punch, and all laws are destroyed!

Haotian shattered the Black Lotus's suppression with a single punch.

"Now's the time, let's go!"

Without any hesitation, the group escaped through the gap opened by Haotian, except for Yaochi, who remained in place.

"Senior brother, last time Yaochi left you, this time we will live and die together!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yaochi went all out to help suppress the Black Lotus of Haotian.

But Di Shitian, standing before him, chuckled and shook his head. "You don't actually think they can escape, do you? How naive!"

"Give me the town!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the three thousand black lotuses merged together, finally forming two enormous black lotuses that pressed down.

Under the attack of this black lotus, Haotian and Yaochi felt all laws fall silent, and their magical power, Dao, and primordial spirit were all imprisoned.

"Buzz!"

Two black lotuses landed on the heads of the two, sealing away their cultivation.

Di Shitian chuckled lightly, and did nothing more to the two of them. Instead, he moved swiftly, bringing them behind Shennong.

At this moment, a vast, chaotic, dark-colored divine dragon blocked their path; it was the true form of the Ancestor Dragon that suppressed the Sea Eye.

Above the head of the Ancestor Dragon stood a young man in black, his hands behind his back, facing the crowd.

"Greetings, Master!" Di Shitian exclaimed softly.

Luohu gave a soft "hmm," then said, "Go back. The eyes of the entire Primordial Wilderness are now focused here; it is time for you to prove your Dao."

After Luohu finished speaking, he casually tossed an object to Di Shitian, "This is the manifestation of the fortune that the Ancestor Dragon used to suppress the Sea Eye. The fortune that has suppressed the Sea Eye for countless eons is enough for you to break through to the Hun Yuan."

Di Shitian accepted it casually, bid farewell, and left the place, returning to the Nine Nether Demonic Realm.

"After countless years of arduous cultivation, it is time for me to attain enlightenment."

Di Shitian sat upright on the World-Destroying Black Lotus, with seventy percent of the Demon Realm's fortune gathered around him, and the fortune accumulated by the Ancestor Dragon over countless years was also refined by him.

His body was surrounded by the perfected Three Thousand Great Daos, and boundless demonic light filled the heavens and earth. The Three Thousand Great Daos were condensed into the Primordial Spirit Great Dao.

The Primordial Spirit Great Dao Di Shitian is the main Dao cultivated by Indra.

With Di Shitian, the River of Time and Space appeared, merging his past, present, and future into one, even bringing back all of Di Jun's memories.

"Regardless of who I was before, I am now only Di Shitian, not the so-called Di Jun!"

With the emergence of the River of Time and Space, Di Shitian's journey to enlightenment officially begins!

Meanwhile, in a palace in the Demon Realm, Evil Corpse Jingyang of Donghua, gazed at the changes in the Demon Realm and murmured:

"Could this be Luohu's scheme, all for the sake of enabling Di Shitian? That's incredibly petty!"

"Regardless of the circumstances, Luohu has already appeared. Whether he is an incarnation or his true form, this time we will ensure he never returns."

Jingyang chuckled lightly, "However, that's something my main body should be concerned with. What I need to do is compete with Di Shitian and see how you prove your Dao."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jingyang disappeared from the spot, heading alone to the top of the Demon Realm where Di Shitian resided.

"Huh, I didn't expect it would be you stopping me!"

Just as Jingyang was walking forward, a figure blocked his way. It was none other than the Evil Corpse of Yuanshi Tianzun, Primordial Sky Demon!

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Jingyang. We are both Evil Corpse of our original forms. Although I cannot defeat you, I can still stop you. How about we have a duel? Whether Di Shitian can attain Dao depends entirely on his luck and strength. What do you say?"

Jingyang pondered for a moment, unsure how to answer, because what the Primordial Sky Demon said was true; no matter how powerful his true form was, he was merely one of the three corpses.

In terms of strength, he should be at the peak of the second level of the Heavenly Realm, Primordial Sky Demon should be at the peak of the first level of the Heavenly Realm or at the beginning of the second level.

The Three Corpses Technique was created by Hongjun after he attained enlightenment. It is a method for achieving Attain Sainthood by merging with the Heavenly Dao, and it is also a method of combat.

If we were to rank all the methods in the world, the method of Slaying Three Corpses would definitely be number one, but even the most powerful method is still just a method.

After Donghua broke through to the Fourth Heaven, he felt that the Three Corpses Technique could no longer keep up with him.

The Fourth Heaven is a watershed in the Hunyuan Realm. Strictly speaking, the upper limit of the Three Corpses Technique is the peak of the Third Heaven.

Unless Donghua finds a new path in the Three Corpses Method and creates a new Three Corpses Method.

Jingyang said nonchalantly, "I have no objection. Anyway, I haven't received any instructions from the main body. Obstructing Di Shitian's attainment of enlightenment is only for my own benefit in the Demon Realm."

"Previously, in order to counter Luohu's consciousness in the Heavenly Dao, I was unable to go all out against Di Shitian. I never expected that he would actually become a force to be reckoned with and that he would one day attain enlightenment."

With a casual wave of his hand, the Primordial Sky Demon King summoned a set of Dao Chess, and the two sat down quietly.

Jingyang, holding a chess piece, asked, "Since you have appeared here, your true form should have broken free from its seal in the Primordial Wilderness, right? Was it Luohu who made the move?"

The Primordial Sky Demon shook his head and said, "Today we won't discuss the situation in the Primordial Wilderness. What his true form chooses is his business. Once the order is given, we just need to carry it out. I don't want to think about the rest. Anyway, I'm just an Evil Corpse!"

Jingyang laughed and said, "That's right, that's right. We're just Evil Corpse. Who knows when we'll return to our original forms? Why think so much?"

The two played chess, exchanging blows, and the grand strategies were effortlessly mastered in their hands. Although they were playing chess, they were also engaged in a battle.

Meanwhile, at the summit of the Demon Di Shitian, after merging his three bodies into one, Indra saw no one come to stop him. He then calmed his mind and fully entered the River of Destiny, beginning his final journey of breaking through the Dao.

In the Starry Sky Ziwei Star, Donghua calmly said, "I never expected that the arrogant Yuanshi Tianzun would choose to cooperate with Luohu. How interesting."

In this scheme, Donghua was not surprised by anyone's appearance; everyone has their own choices and path.

"Junior sister, I'll have to trouble you to stay and oversee the Heaven Realm. I'm going to meet with Luohu."

The West Queen Mother nodded and said, "Brother, rest assured, I am here in the Heaven Realm. You must also be careful, though. Luohu is not a benevolent person. Since he dares to make a move, he must be confident in his abilities."

Donghua nodded, and then disappeared into the Starry Sky.

On the East Sea, Donghua suddenly appeared before the reincarnation of Candle Dragon.

"Who are you?" Candle Dragon stood there, spear in hand.

Donghua shook his head, looking at Candle Dragon had already fallen into the Devil Dao, and said:

"I didn't expect that even after reincarnation, you still harbor such deep thoughts about the rise of the Dragon Clan. Isn't the Dragon Clan rising day by day? Aren't you satisfied yet?"

The reincarnation of Candle Dragon roared, "What do you know? Although the Dragon Clan seems powerful now, it's nothing but a reflection in a mirror and the moon in the water, nothing but a dream."

"Humanity covets the Four Seas and even attempts to confine the Dragon Clan race within Four Seas. As humanity's mascot, how can we accept this fate?"

"Therefore, only the birth of the Ancestor Dragon can fight against the human race and save us from suffering!"

Donghua laughed heartily, "This is what Luohu tempted you with. You are really too naive. Let alone one Ancestor Dragon, even ten Ancestor Dragons would not be able to make a difference to the current situation in the Primordial Wilderness."

"The Innate Three Races— dragon, Qilin, and qilin—were the three earliest races to emerge in the Primordial Wilderness. The fusion of the human and dragon races is also my intention."

"I?" Candle Dragon asked in confusion, only then realizing who the person in front of him was.

There are many great emperors in the ancient world, but there is only one who calls himself "I", and that is Donghua, the Emperor of Heaven.

No one else dares to call themselves that!

Candle Dragon stubbornly said, "The fusion of the human and dragon races will only hasten the demise of the Dragon Clan. What benefit would it bring to the Dragon Clan?"

If the Dragon Clan were powerful, he would absolutely be willing to merge with humans. But now that the human race is powerful, merging with humans would mean that the human race would devour the dragon Dragon Clan. If he is not careful, he will be completely eaten by the human race.

After all, in the Primordial Wilderness, it has always been a case of big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimp. The fusion of humans and dragons may seem to have many benefits for the Dragon Clan, but in reality, it is gradually jeopardizing the Dragon Clan's future.

"Why did the Ancestor Dragon forge the Dragon Gate back then?"

Upon hearing this, Zhulong was speechless. Back then, the Ancestral Dragon created the Dragon Gate to increase the number of dragons and thus deal with the other two races.

Secondly, it is also the concept of the Ancestor Dragon: everyone is like a dragon, everyone is a dragon, and all living beings can become dragons!

And this is also the imperial path of the Ancestor Dragon!

Donghua continued, "I admire Ancestor Dragon's viewpoint. Isn't the fusion of humans and dragons an extension of this concept? Everyone is a dragon!"

"Therefore, your definition of the Dragon Clan is too narrow, so narrow that it is merely a single race."

Upon hearing this, Candle Dragon was overwhelmed with conflicting thoughts, making it difficult for him to make a decision.

Seeing this, Donghua knew the time had come, and suddenly pointed a finger at Candle Dragon's forehead:

"Wake up!"

The Great Dao Power flowed into the body of the Candle Dragon, and the purification law instantly allowed the Candle Dragon to enter the Dao.

After a burst of light, Candle Dragon broke free from his Inner Demon state, and in an instant, supreme power gathered around Candle Dragon.

The River of Time and Space emerges!

With the past, present, and future united, and the two lifetimes merged, Candle Dragon successfully broke through to the Grand Unity realm.

The Candle Dragon has officially been reincarnated and returned!

Subsequently, his cultivation level soared, and the powers of the Immortal Dao, the Divine Dao, and the Demonic Devil Dao emerged within Candle Dragon's body, while the Time Great Dao quietly descended.

The Daluo Golden Immortal: Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Peak!

Quasi-Saint Realm, Early and Middle Stages!

He used Devil Dao intent to sever the Evil Corpse, breaking through to the Late Stage Quasi-Saint once again!

Thus, Candle Dragon was reincarnated and returned, successfully breaking through to the Late Stage Quasi-Saint.

"Your Majesty, the sinful Candle Dragon pays Heavenly Emperor!" Candle Dragon immediately bowed after realizing what had happened.

Donghua waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's alright, it's alright. I'm very happy that you've returned."

Candle Dragon said sadly, "It was my immaturity that allowed Luohu Hou to take advantage of my weakness, leading me to commit such a heinous crime. I will explain the situation to the Human Emperor and provide an explanation for Nuwa's death."

"Hahaha, look who's that?"

Following Donghua's gaze, the Nuwa who had died suddenly became illusory and then disappeared from the Primordial World. At that moment, a new Nuwa appeared.

Donghua joked, "You don't actually think you can kill someone right under my nose, do you?"

Candle Dragon said awkwardly, "Indeed, now that His Majesty Attain Hunyuan Dao and achieved the supreme Heavenly Emperor Position, he is undoubtedly the number one person in the Primordial Wilderness."

"It's a pity that I didn't witness Your Majesty's coronation; it must have been Primordial Wilderness ceremony."

At this point, the room fell silent.

For Donghua, the fall of Candle Dragon and Lord of the Clouds was an eternal pain in his heart. Lord of the Clouds was an elder of the Purple Mansion who followed Donghua in battles all the way back to the ancient era.

When Candle Dragon was in danger, he chose to ally with the Purple Mansion and eventually completely submitted to the Purple Mansion.

Fortunately, both of them have now been successfully reincarnated.

"Whether we were there at that moment or not is irrelevant. From the Purple Mansion all the way to where the Heavenly Court is today, it is all thanks to your help. You are the greatest contributors, and this is a fact that no one can forget."

Candle Dragon shook his head dismissively and said, "Whether it was the Purple Mansion era or the current Heavenly Court, Your Majesty is the core. It is precisely because of Your Majesty's existence that we, your humble servants, have achieved our success."

Primordial Wilderness ages, countless people have possessed extraordinary talent, but how many have truly survived to this day? It is Your Majesty who has made us who we are today.

"It's a case of mutual benefit!" Donghua sighed.

If he had never been to this world, then these people would indeed have been fleeting figures, whether it was Candle Dragon, Lord of the Clouds, or others, they would have perished in the great calamity, without even the chance to be reincarnated.

Perhaps their return will be after Immeasurable Calamity, but even the Primordial World may not exist during those Immeasurable Calamity. Apart from the Hunyuan Saint, everyone is likely to perish, let alone these reincarnated individuals.

Just as Donghua and Candle Dragon were chatting, strange phenomena appeared in the Nine Nether Demonic Realm of the Primordial Wilderness World.

Di Shitian and became Attain Sainthood!
