Arctic.

With the cooperation of Xuanqing and Evil Corpse, a void channel slowly opened, shrouded by the power of Fate Dao, undetected even by Heavenly Dao.

Ordinarily, Cultivators of the Primordial World, if they venture into Chaos and then return, would be scrutinized carefully by the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

The last time, Xuanqing himself, due to being tainted with Chaos Qi, was cleansed by thunderous retribution upon his return to the Primordial World.

This time, he deliberately erased his aura, and with the inside-outside collaboration of the Evil Corpse, stationed at the North Pole in place of Divine Monarch Zhi Ming, they used the "Innate Eight Diagrams" to conceal the presence, thus opening a void channel that connected Chaos and the Arctic without the Heavenly Dao’s notice.

"Day and night guard against outsiders, but it’s hard to defend against the thief within!"

Xuanqing chuckled lightly, for even the Heavenly Dao never expected his stance as replacement for Divine Monarch Zhi Ming, suppressing the North Pole, was in fact to create a backdoor for himself.

Amidst the celebratory clouds, the force of Fate obscured the secrets of heaven, the "Chaos Bell" suppressed space-time, and the "Dao Yi Seal" quietly crafted his identity and fate.

"Merge!"

Instantly, he transformed into a stream of light, fusing with the Evil Corpse stationed at the extreme north, ready to refine the other half of the Fate Demon God Dao Fruit!

The Refining Great Dao slowly enveloped the Daoist’s Dao Fruit, manifestations of Refining Dao True Intent emerged, seemingly to refine everything, converting the Daoist’s Dao Fruit into nourishment.

Meanwhile, Luo Hou also found the three Fierce Beasts’ kings - Taowu, Chaos, and Qiongqi.

After Luo Hou revealed the method to elevate them to Saints of the Demon Path, they pledged allegiance to him without hesitation.

They had no other choice!

As the resentment of Chaos Demon Gods, though they inherited a part of the Demon Gods’ Dao, since these Demon Gods had not completely perished, they naturally could not ascend to Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals.

Half-step Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal was their limit, only a Saint of the Demon Path might give them a chance to break through this bottleneck.

Being born from the rancor of Demon Gods, with a persistent obsession to destroy the Primordial World, their aim coincided perfectly with Luo Hou’s intent to refine the world in reverse.

If Luo Hou could successfully refine the world in reverse, as he feasted, they too could sip on the soup!

Why would they not comply?

The addition of the three Fierce Beasts’ kings to the "Primordial Demon Realm" caused the fortunes of the Demon Path to surge intensely.

"What’s going on?"

The contest between Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon and Luo Hou for the Demonic Qi fortunes was akin to fire and water, clashing intrinsically. The surge in Luo Hou’s fortunes, naturally, was sensed by Yuanshi Tianzun.

However, Luo Hou, also a Heavenly Dao Saint, possessed methods to obstruct Yuanshi Tianzun’s probes, save for the "Primordial Demon Realm" Dao which began to vibrate wildly.

At this moment, four figures stood before Luo Hou; aside from the three Fierce Beasts’ kings, there was also Kui Gang evolved from Hao Tian Evil Corpse.

"An Evil Corpse’s spiritual awakening, how interesting!"

Luo Hou, clearly amused by Kui Gang, said: "Swear loyalty to me, and I can help you refine your original body and even elevate you to a true Primordial Heavenly Emperor!"

Having no other choice, Kui Gang nodded slightly: "I am willing to serve the Demon Ancestor!"

"Good!"

Satisfied, Luo Hou smiled and his Primordial Spirit moved the Dao of the "Primordial Demon Realm," causing the void to shake violently, as four streams of "Primordial Demon Qi" descended upon Kui Gang and the three Fierce Beasts.

This was a result of his comprehension of "Hongmeng Purple Qi" after becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint, allowing his Dao to align with Heaven for a short time, sharing his power with others, thus creating Saints of the Demon Path.

Yet, at this time, his strength was not at its peak, and by dividing his power among Kui Gang and the three Fierce Beasts, his own strength continued to decline.

He addressed the four: "I will draw the attention of the Saints of the Primordial World! Success depends on whether you can seize the opportunity."

"Yes!"

All four nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Luo Hou summoned the War Demon, Dark Demon, and others: "Let’s go meet Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon. My Demon Realm won’t be easily taken!"

War Demon and the others, upon hearing this, were stunned. Although Luo Hou too was a Heavenly Dao Saint, behind Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon stood Yuanshi Tianzun, Taiching Laozi, and Tongtian Sect Master - three Heavenly Dao Saints!

To challenge three alone?

If the "Slaying Immortal Sword Array" were still in Luo Hou’s possession, there might have been a chance, but now, having just reconstructed his body, not at his peak, how would he confront three Saints?

They certainly didn’t wish to meet their demise!

But alas, their lives were in Luo Hou’s hands, a single glance from him could send chills down their spine, as if their physical bodies and Primordial Spirits were no longer under their own control.

"Open!"

With a loud shout from Luo Hou, endless Demonic Qi converged in the "Primordial Demon Realm," and the void instantly shattered, transforming into a channel leading to the "Heavenly Demon Realm."

Countless members of the Demon Clan passed through the void channel in an instant, descending upon the "Heavenly Demon Realm," while Luo Hou himself charged towards the location of Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon.

Boom!

The void trembled, with countless demon shadows appearing in the sky of the "Heavenly Demon Realm," as the ultimate force of destruction spread to all corners of the world.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon frowned slightly: "Has Luo Hou gone mad? Or does he have some ace up his sleeve against me?"

Within the "Heavenly Demon Realm," Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon was akin to heaven, at least equivalent to half a Saint, but to deal with Luo Hou, his true form would need to act.

His true form, far away in the Primordial World, could rapidly descend into the "Heavenly Demon Realm" only with the help of "Taiji Diagram" held by Taiching Laozi.

Yuanshi Tianzun’s thoughts conveyed a message to Taiching Laozi, and to prevent any plots by Luo Hou, Tongtian Sect Master was called upon as well!

Little did they know, their caution played right into Luo Hou’s strategy, and as the three left the Primordial World, the three Fierce Beasts and Kui Gang immediately departed the "Primordial Demon Realm."

Luo Hou was incredibly arrogant, not only provoking the Primordial Heavenly Demon but also sending forth an incarnation to directly break the seal set by the Jieyin Daoist at the "Abyss of Darkness."

Many members of the Demon Clan took this opportunity to enter the Primordial World, alarming both Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist. They dared not underestimate the situation and hastened to have their true bodies descend upon the "Heavenly Demon Realm."

"Luo Hou, what are you trying to do?"

Yuanshi Tianzun looked coldly at Luo Hou, sensing that something was amiss while also aware that provoking the five Saints was undoubtedly a death-seeking act.

But somehow...

Luo Hou did it anyway!

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Hou burst into laughter and said: "Of course, it’s to regain the power of the Demon Path! My dear Daoist friends, why don’t you all stay here in the Heavenly Demon Realm for a while!"

"Prison Heaven and Lock Earth!"

Before his words fell, endless "Primordial Demon Qi" gushed forth, piercing the heavens and the earth, sealing the void. The "Heavenly Demon Realm" instantly transformed into a Great Dao prison.

The Demon Realm was split in two, but whether it was the "Primordial Demon Realm" or the "Heavenly Demon Realm," both were formed from the physical body evolution of Luo Hou as a Chaos Demon God.

Naturally, Luo Hou’s methods could manipulate the intrinsic brands and temporarily trap the Saints.

"This is bad!"

"It’s a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

Yuanshi Tianzun’s face changed instantly as he realized that Luo Hou’s methods could only trap them temporarily. The opponent’s target was undoubtedly the Primordial World.

However, he did not panic too much. With Luo Hou’s true body here, there was still Houtu and Lady Nuwa in the Primordial World – she would not sit idly by and watch the Primordial World be destroyed.

Moreover, Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, who had merged with the Heavenly Dao, was unlikely to let Luo Hou wreak havoc.

"Pangu Banner!"

Nevertheless, Yuanshi Tianzun was still somewhat worried. If Luo Hou couldn’t deal with the few Saints, he might turn his attention to their disciples.

Therefore, he immediately summoned the "Pangu Banner," wielded the "Heavenly Creation Sky Blade," and attempted to forcefully destroy the Great Dao prison Luo Hou had just set up.

"Tai Chi Diagram!"

"Green Duckweed Sword!"

"Seven Treasures Marvel Tree!"

"Guiding Treasure Banner!"

The remaining four Saints also realized this point and immediately launched an attack on Luo Hou. They did not dare to underestimate the bottom line of Luo Hou’s Demon Path slaughtering.

"Hahaha!"

Luo Hou used his Divine Skills and effortlessly dodged about in the void, not engaging directly with the Saints. "Why so hasty, my Daoist friends?"

"After I destroy the Primordial World and eliminate the possibility of Pangu’s return, wouldn’t you want to seize the chance to free yourselves from the control of the Heavenly Dao and the Earth Dao?"

"Do my Daoist friends really wish to be subject to the Heavenly Dao and the Earth Dao forever?"

But hearing Luo Hou’s words, the Saints’ faces changed instantly. Could it be that this madman Luo Hou was planning to directly destroy the Primordial?

The Saints were all capable of recreating worlds. Destruction was far easier than creation, and although the Primordial World was a vast Hongmeng Realm, it could not withstand the full force of the Saints!

They, the people of this realm, wished to free themselves from the control of either the Heavenly Dao or the Earth Dao. Yet, as beings of the Primordial, they did not want to see their world collapse.

They must stop Luo Hou!

...

At the same time, Qiongqi, Taowu, Chaos, and Kui Gang descended upon various poles of the Primordial World, directly marching towards the four extremities.

After the collapse of Buzhou Mountain, the Heavenly Pillar of the Primordial World became the "Jian Mu" and the four Heavenly Pillars forged from the legs of the Mysterious Turtle.

"Jian Mu" being the Tongtian Sect Master’s true form, they dared not attack directly, thus turning their gaze to the four Divine Monarchs guarding the extremes.

Qiongqi descended upon the West Pole, borrowing Luo Hou’s Great Dao, he transformed into a Demon Path Saint and unleashed a destructive blow upon the Green Dragon Guard.

Taowu let out a long howl, descending directly upon the South Pole. In an instant, under his command, Destructive Fire engulfs in pursuit to annihilate Ling Guang Divine Monarch.

And Kui Gang appeared in the East Pole, the presence of a Demon Path Saint overpowering everything, immediately flooding the domain of the Azure Dragon Guard with thunder.

As for Chaos, upon arriving at the North Pole, it was detected by Xuanqing, and with the flash of the power of fate, Chaos’s Divine Skills ended in vain.

"Alas!"

He couldn’t help but let out a light sigh: "Zhi Ming, my Daoist friend, it seems I’ve taken a calamity upon myself in your stead."

"Devastating Divine Thunder!"

Xuanqing exclaimed loudly, and the "Innate Thunder Pool" suddenly emerged, the endless thunder bolts transformed into Azure Dragons, led by the power of fate, and struck the Fierce Beast Chaos.

Under the power of fate, there was no escape. In an instant, Chaos was engulfed by the thunder.

However, for the Green Dragon Guard, Ling Guang, and Meng Zhang, they were not so fortunate. Although bolstered by the power of the Heavenly Dao, they were no match for Taowu and the others.

Taowu and his companions were already on the verge of becoming Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals. With the boost of Luo Hou’s Great Dao, they were now able to hold their own against an actual Heavenly Dao Saint.

While Ling Guang and the others were equal to half a Saint, there was a difference between them and a true Saint—how could they possibly contend against the likes of Taowu?

The situation deteriorated in an instant!
