Myriad Starburst Talismans! Star Burst Grenades! Luo Hou's Collapse!

Di Tian did not respond to Luo Hou's impotent rage.

Instead, he retreated several steps, no longer engaging him in close-quarters combat.

He summoned the Starry Pen, paired it with Zhou Tian Ink and the Five Elements Inkstone, controlled the Spiritual Text Scroll, and supplemented it with Law Divine Runes.

Then he began bombarding Luo Hou from afar!

After more than a century of fighting, Luo Hou's reason had gradually recovered from his initial fury and madness, worn down over time.

He had begun to feel irritated and speechless.

Under such circumstances, the other party could only react in one of two ways.

Either he would forcefully break free of Di Tian's interference and flee!

Or he would take a dangerous gamble, erupt with full force, and fight to the death!

No matter which it was, close-range combat was no longer suitable. Only attacking from afar was the way to preserve himself.

After all, given their current disparity in strength,

wanting to forcibly keep Luo Hou here was nothing more than a fool's dream.

Even if he somehow succeeded by luck, his own side would suffer devastating losses.

And it would amount to exhausting most of his foundation just to hand Hong Jun victory in the Dao-Devil Conflict for free.

At that time, although he could make Hong Jun owe him Cause and Effect,

whether he would live long enough to collect, or whether Hong Jun's repayment would be utterly useless, was anyone's guess.

"Have the guts to fight me head-on!"

"What kind of ability is it to rely on these petty tricks?!"

Seeing Di Tian once again turtle beneath the protection of the Black Lotus of Extinction, the Merit Golden Wheel, and the Merit Auspicious Cloud,

using the Literary Dao's Words Manifesting Law, Ink Manifestation, and transformations of heaven and earth...

to continuously harass him from afar,

preventing him from getting close while making it impossible for him to break free from the entanglement of divine abilities and spells,

Luo Hou was frustrated beyond measure.

In the current Primordial World, most battles were fought through direct, head-on clashes.

Those who used unconventional methods were few and far between.

Someone like Di Tian, with so many methods and such utter shamelessness, was rarer still—perhaps the only one of his kind!

No matter how powerful Luo Hou's killing prowess was,

facing an opponent he could neither defeat, injure, nor escape from,

while being forced to wait for himself to be slowly worn to death,

made him incomparably agitated.

However, this was merely the appetizer.

More than a hundred years had passed since Wang Shu issued the Kill Order against the Demon Race.

The Innate Star Gods and affiliated races nearest to the Western Land had long since stormed into Demon Race territory.

They killed anyone they saw, seized anything they found, destroyed whatever they could not take, and found ways to deal with anything they could not destroy!

Wherever they passed, not a single piece of armor remained, nor a blade of grass grew!

Some quick-witted Star Gods even used their own salaries to offer enormous bounties against those connected to the Demon Race.

This caused the Primordial Myriad Races and independent cultivators, who had initially come merely to watch the spectacle and grab a few easy gains, to join the campaign to exterminate demons.

In merely a century, the Demon Race had suffered over ten billion casualties, while the territories and resources they had lost were beyond counting!

Left with no choice, the Eight Great Demon Generals of the Demon Race—

Ri Biao, who dwelled within Geocentric Burning Rock, was violent and ferocious, his entire body as pale as the Blazing Sun Sha White, leaving split earth and scorched ground wherever he went.

Wang Hu, who was cunning and deceitful, possessed an overwhelming desire to possess, and could petrify all life with the Yellow Obscure Fire he exhaled.

Shang Xiang, who was gluttonous and voracious, could swallow heaven and earth, and spewed Turbid Spirit Demon Light that corroded all things.

Ming Jiao, who despised the world and society, erupted with savagery as Cyan Fierce Ghost Fire wrapped around him, steaming clouds into mist and burning heaven and earth.

Jin Ao, who could live on both land and water, possessed an icy attribute, commanded Nether Cold Light, and could freeze all things with the slightest touch.

Fu Bi, who acted madly and recklessly, whose raging flames could seep through any opening, triggered volcanic Heavenly Tribulations and plunged all living beings into misery.

Cui Wei, who was born in darkness and hated light, whose Dark Evil Radiance devoured the brilliance of the sun and moon, blotting out heaven and earth.

Jiao Ni, who was venomous and perverse, took pleasure in destroying all beauty in the world, was wrapped in Nether Blue Flame, and could turn millions of miles into scorched earth in an instant upon revealing his true form.

They gathered at Mount Sumeru Summit and continuously knelt before Luo Hou's Divine Statue, pleading desperately.

"Devil Ancestor, please come back quickly!"

"We truly cannot hold on much longer!"

"Those Star Gods from the Star Radiance Divine Court have gone mad!"

"They actually led their subordinates into the Western Land and issued Kill Orders and enormous bounties against us!"

"This has stirred the hearts of many races among the Primordial Myriad Races, and they are all rushing toward us."

"Outnumbered as we are, we have already lost half of our territory, and countless resources have been plundered!"

"If you do not return soon, once the Primordial Myriad Races taste the benefits and all flood into the Western Land, we truly will be powerless to turn things around!"

"..."

Before Luo Hou departed, fearing that Hong Jun might resort to trickery, he had deliberately left behind a strand of Divine Sense within his Divine Statue.

The instant the Eight Great Demon Generals began praying, the lingering Divine Sense did not dare delay and hurriedly transmitted their pleas to Luo Hou.

"Damn it! While I was away, you actually ordered your subordinates to raid the Western Land and slaughter my Demon Race!"

"You are nothing but a despicable, shameless, sinister, vile bastard who takes advantage of others' misfortune!"

The moment this main course was served, Luo Hou completely lost it.

He had come here seeking aid this time.

Not only had he gained nothing, he had even lost a considerable portion of the foundation he had painstakingly accumulated!

How could he not be furious? How could he not be enraged?!

"Luo Hou got his home raided?"

Hearing his furious curses, Di Tian could not help but pause in surprise.

It was not yet time for the Dao-Devil Conflict.

Had Hong Jun and the others moved this quickly already?

And they had even pinned it on him. They truly had no shame and were sinister to the extreme!

Seeing Di Tian momentarily distracted, Luo Hou did not care why. He forcibly blasted open a path with the God Slaying Spear and hurriedly fled toward the lower realm.

Without looking back, he threw down a harsh threat.

"I will spare your life for now!"

"Once I finish dealing with my affairs, I will definitely bathe the entire Star Radiance Divine Court in blood!"

Upon hearing this, Di Tian, who had originally intended to stop and let Luo Hou leave, immediately reached into his Mustard Seed Space.

He took out tens of thousands of upgraded Star Burst Grenades, along with Starburst Talismans, the great culmination of the Talisman Dao that operated on the same principles.

Then he pursued the fleeing Luo Hou.

And began bombarding him relentlessly!

In an instant, Myriad Phenomena Star Power exploded without end, and heaven, earth, Time and Space fell into chaos.

It was like countless fireworks and firecrackers exploding at once during New Year celebrations in a bygone era.

Dazzling multicolored flames and deafening thunderous blasts instantly illuminated and resounded through more than half of the Extraterritorial Starry Sky!

"You damned madman, this is your territory!"

"Are you not afraid of destroying the All Heavens Stars and suffering the backlash of Karmic Force by detonating such powerful treasures so recklessly, without regard for the bigger picture?!"

If he had been at his peak, he could have endured a few rounds of bombardment at this level.

But after a century of grueling battle, he had long since been reduced to a severely injured state.

Let alone enduring several blasts, if not for the Four Swords of Zhuxian helping him block them, his physical body would likely have already been annihilated, leaving only a remnant soul to flee.

"Luo Hou, you are an ignorant fool."

"The Main Stars of the Extraterritorial Starry Sky were formed from Father God's hair. Their toughness rivals that of Innate Treasures."

"Not to mention bombardment like this—even someone at Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Perfection detonating themselves at close range beside a Main Star could not harm it in the slightest!"
