Luo Hou: Pledge Loyalty to Me! Bloodbath the Star Court! Choose!

"Shouldn't he be wandering all over the Primordial Wilderness right now, gathering the Calamity Qi of heaven and earth to prepare for a final battle with Hong Jun and the others?"

"Why did he still have the time to come looking for me?"

Di Tian looked at Luo Hou, who was loudly calling for an audience outside Ziwei Emperor Star, a trace of contemplation flashing through his eyes.

After learning that Luo Hou and Hong Jun had wanted to scheme him to death, seize his treasures, and take control of the Primordial World—

he had not held the slightest favorable impression of them.

Not to mention the last time Luo Hou had asked him to descend to the lower realm.

Though the two had not completely fallen out, they had more or less reached the point of never associating with each other again.

Yet now, Luo Hou had actually come looking for him of his own accord.

Could it be that he wanted his help?

"Wait here. I'll be back shortly."

With that, Di Tian flashed outside Ziwei Emperor Star and activated the Mixed Origin Limitless Great Dao Array to guard against any tricks from Luo Hou.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly."

"I still have important matters to handle."

They could not even be considered casual acquaintances.

Naturally, Di Tian did not give Luo Hou a pleasant expression.

His indifferent gaze and cold voice made it clear: say what you came to say, then get lost.

"Star Emperor, I came this time in hopes of receiving your help, as well as the aid of the Star Radiance Divine Court."

Luo Hou did not mind Di Tian's attitude too much. Instead, he lowered his posture even further.

When asking someone for help, one should have the self-awareness of a supplicant.

If you acted lofty from beginning to end—

thinking that helping you was an honor for them—

and asked for assistance with an attitude almost like bestowing charity—

then you were simply dreaming!

And even if the other party reluctantly agreed because they were intimidated by your power—

could you truly guarantee that they would not turn against you at the critical moment?

Or take advantage of your lowered guard to stab you viciously in the back and send you straight to your death?

"My decisive battle with Hong Jun is approaching. To ensure nothing goes wrong—"

"I hope you can lend me a hand and help hold back Yin Yang, Qian Kun, and Five Elements. Then all other problems will resolve themselves."

"Once Hong Jun is defeated and I win this final battle, you may gather whatever treasures you desire for yourself."

"Or, if you do not want treasures, that is fine as well."

"As long as it is something I can do or produce, even the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the God Slaying Spear are yours to take!"

Good grief, Luo Hou was truly willing to pay a steep price to kill Hong Jun and win the Dao-Devil Conflict!

Not only would all treasures obtained after the war belong to Di Tian—

even the peerless Heavenly Dao Ferocious Evil Treasures, the God Slaying Spear and the Four Swords of Zhuxian, could be offered up as bargaining chips.

He truly was a formidable hero of the Demonic Path.

As for that Old Stinkbug Hong Jun, who relied on nothing but his mouth to deceive people everywhere—

if he had not relied on empty promises to gain the Heavenly Dao's favor—

then who the ultimate victor of the Dao-Devil Conflict would be was not certain at all!

Unfortunately, Di Tian had no desire to involve himself in the Dao-Devil Conflict.

Whether he helped Luo Hou or Hong Jun—

the final result would only be taking on an enormous debt that would be impossible to repay.

After all, the karmic debt of blowing up the Western Earth Veins, reducing them to utter ruin and lifelessness, leaving them unable to return to their peak—

once he became tainted by even a little of it, even throwing in all the Star Radiance Divine Court's accumulated wealth from countless years likely would not be enough to settle the account.

"I understand why you came."

"But I don't want to involve myself in the mess between you and Hong Jun."

"If there is nothing else, leave at once."

Upon hearing this, Luo Hou's respectful, gentle expression instantly turned several degrees colder.

His tone and bearing also regained some of their former majesty.

"Fellow Daoist, do not be so quick to refuse."

"All beneath heaven bustle about for profit!"

"All beneath heaven rush about for gain!"

"If you feel that the reward I offer does not suit your wishes, you may name your price."

"So long as you can help me kill Hong Jun, everything you want is negotiable."

Di Tian had not expected Luo Hou to be so doglike, changing his face so quickly.

After just one disagreement, he immediately became this vicious, cannibalistic figure.

Di Tian had even praised him just moments ago.

Now, it seemed Luo Hou and Hong Jun were exactly the same sort of people.

They would flatter you in every possible way while you were useful.

But once you no longer had value to exploit, they would instantly turn their backs on you—hypocrites through and through.

"The Extraterritorial Starry Sky does not welcome you."

"Please hurry up and get the hell back to the Western Region!"

Seeing that things had come to this, Luo Hou no longer continued pretending.

He had originally intended to borrow Di Tian's power, win the Dao-Devil Conflict, then turn around and deal with him afterward.

He would seize control of the Star Radiance Divine Court and the Primordial World.

But now, it seemed that compared to persuasion—

conquest by force suited him better!

He immediately summoned the Four Swords of Zhuxian, gripped the God Slaying Spear, and pointed it at Di Tian from afar. Demonic might surged around him, while killing intent soared to the heavens.

"Calling you Fellow Daoist was merely giving you face."

"I never expected you to be so presumptuous as to tell me to get lost. You truly do not know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

As he spoke, the full pressure of the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Late Stage erupted without reservation and bore down upon Di Tian.

"I'll give you one final chance."

"Swear a Great Dao oath and lead the Star Radiance Divine Court in eternal loyalty to me."

"Otherwise, I will spend a little effort today and send all of you to meet Pan Gu!"

"So the fox's tail has finally shown itself?"

Di Tian looked at the overwhelmingly imposing Luo Hou. There was not the slightest fear in his eyes; instead, they carried a hint of disdain.

With the Jade Tablet of Creation Fragment's enhancement, even the Wang Shu Three Sisters had entered the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal realm.

How could he possibly still be at Great Luo Perfection?

Did Luo Hou truly think that Di Tian had spent all these years indulging in pleasure without making the slightest progress?

"You think you can slaughter the Star Radiance Divine Court?"

"What an enormous joke."

With a deep, cold shout, Di Tian no longer held anything back and revealed all of his power for the first time.

He held the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler in hand, stood atop the Black Lotus of Extinction, and had the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram suspended above his head. Boundless golden light of merit emerged behind him, while Merit Auspicious Clouds encircled his body!

Over these dozen-odd Eons, he had not merely elevated all six Laws into Great Dao—

nor had he merely entered the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal realm with the peerless attainment of Twelve-Petaled Flower Blooming Atop the Crown!

Even in the path of the physical body, aided by Father God's Heart Blood Essence and the elevated Great Dao of Force, he had entered the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal realm!

And that was only the strength he had possessed one Eon ago.

Now, one Eon later—

with the Jade Tablet of Creation Fragment's enhancement—

he had already raised all six Great Daos to the limit of the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Early Stage!

His physical body, meanwhile, had continuously refined Father God Jade Marrow and taken the lead in stepping into the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Middle Stage!

Even though Luo Hou's cultivation was nearly at Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Perfection—

relying on the foundation of Body and Law Dual Cultivation, paired with three supreme treasures and the Divine Pills and magical treasures refined over a dozen-odd Eons—

not to mention killing Di Tian, if Luo Hou could safely escape the Extraterritorial Starry Sky, Di Tian would already be showing him mercy!

"I never expected a coward like you to break through into the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal realm as well."

"It seems Hong Jun and I both underestimated you."

As Luo Hou looked at the pressure emanating from Di Tian, which could faintly contend with his own, the killing intent in his eyes intensified severalfold.
