The Netherworld and the Realm of the Dead, the Struggle Between Gods and Men (13)

"Awoo!"

On that day, the Red-Haired Ghost God dragged the Heavenly Dog down from the clouds, and the sun in the sky saw the light of day again.

The pitch-black Heavenly Dog howled and struggled incessantly above the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, trying to break the seven-colored chain composed of countless kinds of Primordial Qi.

You're wasting your energy!

Xiluo, who had appeared in the sky at some unknown time, let out a low roar and then pounced on the Heavenly Dog.

Under these circumstances, even knowing that her own strength was inferior to that of the Heavenly Dog, Xiluo could not sit idly by and watch Li Boyang fight alone.

"You overconfident fool!"

Faced with Xiluo rushing towards him, the Heavenly Dog decisively opened his blood-red maw.

The Heavenly Dog's mouth was like a black hole.

The moment it opened, it greedily devoured everything around it.

Whether it's tangible light or intangible Primordial Qi...

Even Xiluo, who had transformed into Ominous Deity, stumbled and almost lost her balance.

Fortunately, Xiluo wasn't fighting alone.

Splash...

The Red-Haired Ghost God tugged at the chains again, forcing the Heavenly Dog to turn his head.

The next second, Xiluo's sharp claws left five clearly visible scratch marks on the Heavenly Dog's face.

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot.

Xiluo then spun around violently again, landing a solid kick on the Heavenly Dog's chin.

"Awoo!"

A mournful cry instantly filled the sky.

The Heavenly Dog's head was almost deformed from that kick.

Just as Xiluo was about to continue her brutal attack, a red light suddenly appeared between the brows of the Heavenly Dog.

The red light grew stronger and stronger, from dim to striking...

It quickly turned into a crimson mark like a flame.

"What?"

Instinctively opening her eyes wide, Xiluo hadn't yet realized what had happened.

A familiar [Taiji Diagram] appeared between the Heavenly Dog's eyebrows, forcefully sending Xiluo flying.

Bang!

Almost at the same time as Xiluo was sent flying, the Heavenly Dog glared fiercely at the Red-Haired Ghost God below and roared.

"Kid, you forced me to do this!"

Before he finished speaking, the [Taiji Diagram] between the Heavenly Dog's eyebrows began to spin rapidly.

The order of Yin and Yang in the universe was overturned at this moment.

The chain that bound the Heavenly Dog also dissipated due to the collapse of the Primordial Qi order.

However, all of this is merely a byproduct of the full-scale operation of the [Taiji Diagram].

With the collapse and reversal of the yin and yang order of heaven and earth.

The boundary between the sky and the earth is blurred, and the boundary between the living and the dead is also no longer clear.

A chilling aura emanated from all directions, and the illusory images of the Yin World were reflected in the mortal realm...

The backyard of the mountain god temple, where the temple keeper resides.

Li Boyang's true form suddenly opened his eyes, looking up at the sky in astonishment.

Following Li Boyang's gaze, he saw a familiar Ox-Head figure also looking at him with the same astonishment in its eyes.

Even across the divide between the yin and yang worlds, Li Boyang seemed to be able to hear the Ox-Head's deep voice.

[Did you cause this, kid?]

[You've overturned the order of Yin and Yang, how can you be even more troublesome than those bastards from the Guifang Kingdom?]

Slightly embarrassed, Li Boyang wanted to deny Ox-Head's statement.

Unfortunately, the [Taiji Diagram] was indeed the first Law Treasure that Li Boyang crafted.

He never expected that the [Taiji Diagram] could unleash such terrifying power in the hands of the Heavenly Dog.

Or to be more precise, Li Boyang never realized that the "Form of the Tortoise and Serpent" created with the power of Lu Gui and Green Wood Clan had already transcended the limits of ordinary Maxims Talismans.

"I'll resolve this issue immediately."

After a brief moment of awkwardness, Li Boyang slowly stood up, and the Red-Haired Ghost God not far away also disappeared.

When his Primordial Spirit returned to its place, Li Boyang's body was already radiating Black and Yellow Qi, which deeply attracted the Heavenly Dog's attention.

"You were hiding in the temple?"

Under the astonished gaze of the Heavenly Dog, and under the watchful eyes of countless living beings and the dead.

A dark yellow cloud rose from beneath Li Boyang's feet, and a dark yellow auspicious cloud appeared above his head, slowly floating into the air to confront it.

"You foresaw all of this?"

"You didn't even leave Flying Peak from beginning to end?"

Li Boyang smiled silently as he stared at the Heavenly Dog opposite him. Instead of answering the other party's question, he directly asked a question in return.

"That Blood Demon would go through fire and water for you..."

"And yet you didn't even hesitate for a second before eating them up?"

Li Boyang's gaze lingered briefly on the center of the Heavenly Dog's brow before he discerned the true nature of the crimson mark.

That was the Blood Demon who had previously stolen the [Taiji Diagram].

After successfully obtaining the [Taiji Diagram], the Blood Demon was also devoured by the Heavenly Dog along with the [Taiji Diagram].

That crimson mark was the Blood Demon's last trace in this world, and also the promise made to the Heavenly Dog... or rather, to the Guirong Clan.

Guirong Clan had promised Blood Demon that he would help him exact revenge on the Gods of the Five Directions.

When the impending flood was predicted.

In order to lure the Blood Demon into the Ghost God Cave, the Guirong Clan promised to help him save the Guifang Kingdom from being swallowed by a flood.

The key issue is that none of the promises made by the Guirong Clan have a clearly defined subject.

Therefore, even if one consumes the Blood Demon and then fulfills the promise made to him, it would not violate any of the promises made by the Guirong Clan.

In fact, the Guirong Clan did just that.

In order to suppress the Big Black Dog within his body to the greatest extent possible, the Guirong Clan fought for every ounce of power.

Needless to say, the Blood Demon's abilities are not weak, and it willingly became the envoy of the Guirong Clan, making it incredibly easy for it to devour and assimilate others.

"Now that he has become a part of me, I will naturally fulfill his wishes."

"It's an honor for him, so why should I hesitate?"

After a slight pause, the Heavenly Dog continued.

"On the contrary, you've hidden far too many things..."

"My other half believed your lies and gave up its power as the Heaven-Eroding Lord."

"Who would have thought that you would turn around and embark on the Way of the Heavenly Deity, even being able to use such complex Primordial Qi of heaven and earth to manifest chains to bind me?"

With his gaze lingering on the Black and Yellow Qi, the Heavenly Dog naturally realized that it was Li Boyang's true trump card.

That kind of energy that uses itself as a furnace, encompassing the essence of heaven and earth and all things.

The "Way of the Celestial Person and Man," which ultimately involves the Pill Formation in Nine Revolutions Black and Yellow Qi, is far superior to the "Primordial Core Method" of the Big Black Dog.

"This is not some Way of the Heavenly Deity..."

With a faint smile and a shake of his head, Li Boyang could naturally tell that Heavenly Dog was testing his trump card.

But as the saying goes, there's nothing that can't be said to others.

Li Boyang didn't care about Heavenly Dog's probing; in fact, he even discussed it with the other party with great interest.

"This is the true Way of the Celestial Person!"
