Luo Hou's Legacy Acquired! Establishing the Demonic Path, Creating the Demon Realm! The End of Dao and Demon!

Di Tian naturally would not be foolish enough to fall for Luo Hou's clumsy provocation.

In Luo Hou's current state, he was clearly prepared to smash the pot and take whoever he could down with him.

The moment Di Tian restored the flow of the world and appeared before everyone,

Luo Hou would undoubtedly detonate the Western Earth Veins at once.

Under such circumstances, only someone with water in his brain would fight him.

Besides, Di Tian had come to make a deal, not risk his life.

There was no need to put himself in danger at all!

"Fellow Daoist, don't bring out such petty tricks to toy with me."

"Do you think I have the same temperament as that bunch of fools led by Hong Jun?"

"Would I dare come looking for you without first finding out the most basic intelligence?"

Upon hearing this, the madness in Luo Hou's eyes faded slightly.

He understood that Di Tian had evidently learned of his plan to destroy the Western Earth Veins.

He was not surprised by this.

Ever since the upgraded Demon Race Death Warrant appeared, a frenzy of demon extermination had swept across the Primordial World.

As the leader and greatest beneficiary of this frenzy,

the Star Radiance Divine Court had not only plundered at least a third of the Demon Race's treasures,

but also possessed the greatest number of Demon Race slaves.

By obtaining a few clues from those spineless cowards and verifying them,

it was entirely possible to guess his intentions.

"Since you know my plan and still refuse to show yourself for a battle, what exactly do you want?"

Seeing that Luo Hou had dropped his pretense, Di Tian stopped beating around the bush and stated his purpose.

"The God Slaying Spear, the Four Swords of Zhuxian, the Zhuxian Formation Diagram, and your True Spirit, in exchange for another life."

"You'll be able to fight Hong Jun once more and settle the victor properly. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, contemplation flashed through Luo Hou's eyes.

In truth, he knew better than anyone whether detonating the Western Earth Veins could kill Hong Jun.

Establishing the Demonic Path and creating the Demon Realm were the escape route he had prepared in case he could not kill him.

At that time, he would merely need to abandon his physical body and divine soul, fuse his True Spirit into the Demon Realm, and become an existence similar to the Heavenly Dao.

The Cause and Effect of the Earth Veins' destruction and the Western Region's ruin

would no longer be connected to him.

Instead, it would all be transferred onto Hong Jun, who had driven him to death.

But if he truly reached that point,

he would never again be able to enter the Primordial World.

It would be a complete case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own.

"My strength is limited. I can only freeze the world for sixty breaths."

"Now, only twenty breaths remain."

"If you refuse, then we'll both walk away with nothing."

Seeing Di Tian issue his final ultimatum,

Luo Hou no longer hesitated.

After all, a miserable life was better than a good death.

Rather than remain in the Demon Realm and endure the torment of eternal solitude,

he might as well choose to trust Di Tian once.

"Fine!"

"I agree. Once I detonate the Western Earth Veins, you may take the Four Swords of Zhuxian, the Zhuxian Formation Diagram, the God Slaying Spear, and my True Spirit."

"As long as I can defeat Hong Jun once, what does it matter if I serve you for the rest of my life?"

As Luo Hou shouted inwardly, the world's Time and Space began flowing once more.

As an expert at Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Perfection, Hong Jun naturally sensed that his own time had seemingly become disconnected from the world just now.

However, he never imagined that Di Tian had been secretly meddling behind it all.

He merely assumed it was some unknown trick Luo Hou had used in preparation for revealing his final trump card.

To avoid further complications,

he did not dare waste any more words.

He immediately joined forces with Yin Yang to unleash their final killing move.

Yet this suited Luo Hou's wishes perfectly.

Since he had agreed to Di Tian, he had to reclaim the Zhuxian Sword that Hong Jun had taken!

To ensure nothing went wrong, he used the Great Art of Demonic Disintegration to burn his origin and divine soul, forcibly raising his cultivation to Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Perfection!

Hong Jun and Yin Yang both thought

that he intended to drag them down with him. They instinctively retreated far away, not daring to approach him in the slightest.

Luo Hou was overjoyed at the sight.

He immediately dared not delay.

Wielding the God Slaying Spear and controlling the Immortal Severing Sword, Immortal Trapping Sword, and Immortal Slaughtering Sword, he charged directly at the three External Avatars of good, evil, and self.

"Not good, he wants to reclaim the Zhuxian Sword!"

Hong Jun instantly understood his intention.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

The cultivation Luo Hou had gained by burning everything

was not something three mere External Avatars could compare to.

Moreover, his goal was to seize the sword, not kill anyone.

By the time his cry ended, the Heart Piercing Lock suppressing the Zhuxian Sword had already been severed by Luo Hou!

"Hong Jun, it is true that the victor becomes king and the loser becomes a bandit."

"But wearing the crown of victory securely is not so easy!"

With the Zhuxian Sword in hand, Luo Hou immediately formed a hand seal and detonated the Western Earth Veins!

However, unlike the original course of events,

he knew he had another chance.

Thus, he did not take things to the extreme.

Fearing that the Cause and Effect of destroying the Western Region would attach itself to his new identity,

he merely detonated

the Earth Veins within hundreds of millions of miles around Mount Sumeru.

After the explosion, aside from the core region being flattened and much of the surrounding terrain being shattered,

the rest did not suffer devastating damage.

With the Western Land's foundation, along with more than seventy percent of its Earth Veins remaining unharmed,

it would take at most several hundred Eons to return to its peak state.

If living beings were willing to lend a hand,

that time could be shortened considerably.

"Then the Cause and Effect I have to bear shouldn't be too great, right?"

As Luo Hou gazed at the surrounding world and inwardly let out a long breath,

he immediately stopped paying attention to Yin Yang, whose fate was unknown, and Hong Jun, whose eyes were filled with fury and whose face was twisted beneath the protection of the All Heavens Celebration Cloud.

He ascended straight to the Nine Heavens Cloud Top and began his final plan.

"Great Dao above, I am Luo Hou, Ancestor of the Demonic Path. Today, I sense that the Primordial World is incomplete, that cultivators act recklessly, and that countless people possess inferior hearts!"

"Thus, I establish the Demon Realm of No Delusion, No Desire, lawlessness, and No Tribulations!"

"I establish the Tribulation of the Heavenly Devil to test the Dao hearts of future cultivators. A single thought may turn one into an immortal, and a single thought may turn one into a demon; all consequences are of one's own making!"

"From this day onward, when demons rise, Dao declines; when demons decline, Dao rises. The cycle shall repeat without end, neither dying nor perishing, never ceasing!"

As his furious shout fell, boundless demonic qi swept across the eight directions, the Dao Rhyme Purple Lotus emerged from the void, and Ghostly Eerie Sound resounded throughout heaven and earth!

Even with the All Heavens Celebration Cloud protecting him, Hong Jun felt somewhat dizzy.

The killing intent and fury that had previously risen in his heart

now swelled even more fiercely.

Even his eyes became stained with a trace of scarlet!

"Demonic Path—established!"

"Demon Realm—open!"

As he looked upon the ocean of Immeasurable Merit descending from above, Luo Hou did not use it to restore himself.

Instead, he poured all of it into the evolution of the Demon Realm.

In any case, it was useless for him to keep it. He might as well use it to strengthen the Demon Realm and prepare a path of retreat for himself.

"Hong Jun, you won this time through schemes and tricks. But next time, you won't be so fortunate!"

Watching the Demon Realm rapidly become complete and stable beneath the infusion of Immeasurable Merit, Luo Hou laughed heartily as he bid Hong Jun farewell, his divine soul vanishing from heaven and earth!

The instant his True Spirit entered the Demon Realm,

Di Tian secretly collected it with the Chaos Pearl.

As for the Four Swords of Zhuxian, the Zhuxian Formation Diagram, and the God Slaying Spear, Di Tian had already taken them into his possession when the Earth Veins exploded.

"Speaking of which, the Western Region did not suffer devastating damage, so the Cause and Effect Hong Jun owes is not great either."

"Can Jie Yin and Zhun Ti still occupy two positions as Heavenly Dao Sages?"
