Underworld Emperor deftly wielded martial virtue; Di Tian carelessly lost his inner core!

A grayish-white aura swirled around, the silent roars of the ghostly figures of the Underworld echoed, and thick, dark Soul Power permeated the air, making the surrounding space seem to freeze.

Di Tian and Underworld Emperor stared intently at each other, their Intangibility pressure crushing and eroding each other, causing the dust on the ground to tremble continuously.

Sensing the Netherworld power that the Underworld Emperor was no longer concealing, Di Tian's dark golden dragon eyes suddenly trembled, as if he suddenly remembered something.

Wasn't this the same person who fought against Sea God Tang San, with his divine sense on the Soul Guidance Train? So, is this person the Favor one of the Old Plane Spirit?

With this in mind, the Di Tian's aura subsided slightly. Regardless of who fought the Sea God Tang San, it would help their Soul Beast Clan to some extent.

Moreover, he still remembered the words of advice left to him by the Old Plane Spirit last time.

Perhaps they really are friends, not enemies...

Sensing that Di Tian had withdrawn his oppressive aura, a hint of confusion flashed in the Underworld Emperor's eyes. Was Di Tian going to concede to him?

However, thinking of the deadly sense of crisis that Di Tian had given him, the Underworld Emperor's heart stirred slightly. Di Tian must have some hidden methods, and he did not want to really have a life-or-death battle with him.

Perhaps after he becomes a god, he might seek out Di Tian for a duel to complete the essential task for any strong person, but now is clearly not the right time.

Then, as if realizing something, the Underworld Emperor abruptly withdrew his imposing aura, slowly raised his storage ring, and looked at Di Tian:

"We've fought side-by-side before, so how about I toss this ring into the air, count to three, and we both scramble for it? Whoever catches it gets to keep it all, okay?"

Upon hearing the Underworld Emperor's words, Di Tian's eyes flashed. After learning the Underworld Emperor's true identity, he didn't want to engage in a pointless fight, and the Underworld Emperor's suggestion seemed quite good.

Confident in his own strength, Di Tian slowly nodded and said, "I have no problem, but you must keep your promise and not try to take it ahead of time."

"I have no problem with that, but you'd better keep your promise," the Underworld Emperor said meaningfully.

"The noble Dragon Clan keeps its promises the most," Di Tian said proudly, his hands behind his back.

He'll make his move when the Underworld Emperor counts to two...

Thinking of this, for some reason, Di Tian took another long look at the lush green grass in the distance.

"Good!" A glint flashed in the Underworld Emperor's eyes as he slowly retreated.

In terms of strength, he might not be as good as Di Tian, so he will directly count from one to three, without even counting to two.

Let Di Tian see clearly what the wickedness of the human heart is, and what his reputation as Evil Soul Master is worth.

The reason for proposing this rule was to give him time to summon the Death Knight, so that the Death Knight could stop Di Tian.

Fifty meters apart, the Underworld Emperor stopped. A faint light flashed across the ground beneath his Underworld Emperor Boots.

Then, the Underworld Emperor looked at Di Tian. After Di Tian nodded slightly, the Underworld Emperor flipped his bone-armored fingers upwards slightly. With a soft "ding," the storage ring flew directly into the air between the two of them.

Di Tian's muscles were tense, ready to strike. He waited for the Underworld Emperor to count to two before he would seize the weapon and hand it over to the hidden King of Ten Thousand Demons. Then he would stop the Underworld Emperor.

As the storage ring ascended into the air, the voice of the Underworld Emperor rang out.

"One!"

Within Di Tian's body Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores spun wildly, continuing to gather momentum for unleashing their power.

"Three!"

"Huh?" Di Tian was taken aback, his brain momentarily blank, but upon seeing the Underworld Emperor already deployed, he cursed under his breath.

As the Underworld Emperor spoke the number "three," he summoned the Underworld Reincarnation Domain, transforming his entire body into a delicate gray light that swept towards the storage ring.

Such a short distance was nothing more than a blink of an eye for powerful beings like them. In an instant, the storage ring was retrieved from the Underworld Emperor's hands.

"Stop right there, you rule-breaking bastard!" Di Tian's right fist transformed into a ferocious Dragon Claw, instantly enveloping the Underworld Emperor.

But at that moment, a towering black shadow, three zhang tall, burst forth from the ground, its empty eye sockets burning with the flames of its soul, and surrounded by a dense aura of the dead, brazenly blocking Di Tian's path.

"Do not harm my lord!"

And this is one of the twelve Death Knight of the Underworld Emperor!

"Get out of my way!" Di Tian roared, and the Death Knight, whose cultivation was comparable to Level 98, was sent flying by the Dragon Claw claw.

But in that brief moment of delay, the Underworld Emperor had already transformed into a gray ray of light and sped off toward the distant horizon.

In order to stop Di Tian, after taking the inner core he needed, the Underworld Emperor took out everything from his Storage Soul Tool and scattered it all into the air.

The Death Knight who were swatted away by Di Tian turned into gray currents and disappeared into the world. They were born with the Underworld Emperor, and as long as the Underworld Emperor lived, they could accumulate energy and be reborn in the Underworld Emperor's domain.

Di Tian's aura surged, and darkness instantly enveloped the surroundings, freezing all the floating objects in mid-air.

As his powerful Divine Power swept across the area, he did not find the inner core that Qiangu Dongfeng had always kept close to his body, which made his gaze flicker slightly.

"Di Tian, you're too much of a promise-taker. People like you will only be used by others."

"You should really make some changes. After all, even though you're a strong person, your whole body is a treasure. Don't end up not even able to protect your own body."

"Of course, if the opportunity arises, I look forward to fighting alongside you again."

The voice of the Underworld Emperor echoed from the distant horizon, but his figure had long since vanished.

Upon hearing this, Di Tian's face flushed red instantly; he had suffered from being too honest.

He originally thought that it would be against the rules enough for the Underworld Emperor to make his move when he counted to "two", but who would have thought that the Underworld Emperor would skip the two!

"Hmph! My affairs are none of your business!" However, upon hearing the Underworld Emperor's advice, Di Tian still snorted coldly.

Previously, he hadn't unleashed his full power in battles against humans because his the Master hadn't yet awakened. Now that his the Master has awakened, he no longer needs to hide his strength; who can capture his body?!

He's also waiting for the Soul Beast Clan to be revived so he can roam the universe.

"Di Tian, why didn't you let me make a move just now?"

Just then, the lush green grass in the distance transformed into a man dressed in a dark green robe, his long hair reaching the ground. He flashed to Di Tian's side and asked in confusion:

"With the combined strength of the two of us, we can keep him here."

He was none other than the King of Ten Thousand Demons, who had been informed by Di Tian long ago and was hiding here. Just now, Di Tian deliberately revealed his aura to let Qiangu Dongfeng notice him, so that Qiangu Dongfeng would stop here.

"If you get involved in a battle between Quasi-God, you'll only become a weakness for me," Di Tian said, shaking his head slightly with his hands behind his back. A glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes. "Besides, he might not even be our enemy..."

Upon hearing this, the King of Ten Thousand Demons was not angered by Di Tian's statement that his strength was insufficient; instead, he nodded in agreement.

Throughout his life, he believed in the meaning of flowers as forbearance and wealth.

The reason he was able to endure for thousands of years in order to devour the Immortal Herb, and even secretly control most of the Plant-type Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, was because of this patience and pursuit of stability.

Of course, he also knew that Di Tian was right.

However, upon hearing the latter statement, the King of Ten Thousand Demons was slightly puzzled. "What do you mean? He has already taken the inner core that our the Master needed."

"This inner core will go where it belongs, and our mission is accomplished," Di Tian said meaningfully.

The fact that the Underworld Emperor took only the inner core out of so many other things proves that someone behind him needs it.

According to his investigation, Na'er needed this the Master core for the sake of that human boy named Jiang Xiu.

Last time, during the Soul Guidance Train, the Old Plane Spirit transferred the Golden Dragon King Origin into Jiang Xiu's body, and the Underworld Emperor was also Favor by the Old Plane Spirit.

Therefore, he guessed that the inner core would ultimately belong to Jiang Xiu.

The process was wrong, but the result was right.

Seeing Di Tian's unwavering confidence, the King of Ten Thousand Demons said no more. After all, he wasn't the primary responsible beast, so he wouldn't have to take the blame if something went wrong.

Immediately, the King of Ten Thousand Demons raised his hand and summoned several dark green vines that gathered all the floating objects in the air into his hand.

"Huh?" While quickly examining the items, the King of Ten Thousand Demons's gaze settled on one of the paper reports, and he couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Di Tian asked, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Look, this report seems to be about an unknown Small World. According to the report, the Spirit Pagoda seems to have detected a mysterious place, but they don't know its exact location or entrance. However, they suspect that there are living Soul Beast inside."

The King of Ten Thousand Demons pointed to the contents of the report and said, "This report is clearly a top secret within the Spirit Pagoda."

"The Spirit Pagoda is an institution that studies Soul Spirit. Its research over the past ten thousand years has been closely linked to Soul Beast. Now, the Soul Beast Clan on our land is almost extinct, so it seems that the Spirit Pagoda is also searching for the remaining Soul Beast..." the King of Ten Thousand Demons guessed.

"An unknown Small World..." Upon hearing this, Di Tian's dragon eyes narrowed slightly.

He remembered his the Master saying that after the Divine Realm disappeared, there were still two souls closely connected to the Sea God Tang San... Divine beasts exist on the continent, could this Small World be the work of those two...?

"Put all of these away and return them to the Master." Realizing the importance of this, Di Tian immediately gave the order.

"Alright." The King of Ten Thousand Demons nodded slightly in response.

Just as the King of Ten Thousand Demons was tidying up, a groan rang out in the wilderness.

"Tower Master! Where am I? Am I still alive?!"

Qiangu Dongfeng touched his head, which resembled a pig's head, and struggled to sit up from the ground. But when he saw Di Tian and King of Ten Thousand Demons in the distance, he quickly closed his eyes and lay back down on the ground.

Di Tian hadn't left yet, and there was even a Wan King of Ten Thousand Demons) with him.

He dared not open his eyes, as if it were a hallucination...

"King of Ten Thousand Demons, you should go back first. I still have some matters to attend to."

Noticing that Qiangu Dongfeng had awakened, Di Tian waved his hand and said.

The King of Ten Thousand Demons glanced at Qiangu Dongfeng for no apparent reason, then transformed into a streak of green light and vanished from the spot.

As Qiangu Dongfeng heard Di Tian's footsteps getting closer and closer, he knew he couldn't escape. So he slowly opened his eyes and forced an ugly smile at Di Tian, who had already come to his side.

"Should I sleep a little longer?"

Di Tian looked at Qiangu Dongfeng and recalled what the Underworld Emperor had said to him earlier. Although he knew that the inner core would return, he was still slightly angry. But the Underworld Emperor had already left. Fortunately, Qiangu Dongfeng was still there.

Immediately, Di Tian clenched his fist and revealed a kind smile.

"Tower Master Qiangu, I am currently very angry!"
