Still in a state of confusion and helplessness, Gu Yuena suddenly felt completely immobilized.
No matter how she struggled, it was all in vain.
From behind her, Di Tian spoke faintly:
"I don't raise freeloaders."
"You'll stay here and serve as a transport conduit for a year."
There was only one Nine-Colored Collar, and it was still fastened around Gu Yuena's neck.
Its ability to temporarily extract dragon bloodline and create a fusion effect was still working on her.
Sitting cross-legged in place, Gu Yuena felt a warm current surge beneath her, and the power of the Golden Dragon King flooded into her body.
For a moment, she had the illusion that her former strength had returned and that she lacked nothing.
But why was it an illusion?
Because—if he said she was a transport conduit, that was exactly what she was.
The Golden Dragon King's divine core power didn't linger in her body for even a moment; under the influence of the Nine-Colored Collar, it was instantly transferred through the nine-colored threads into Di Tian.
Di Tian reached out into the void, and a mysterious suction force pulled the Reverse Scale into his hand. He placed it here to serve as a seal.
Then, with a flicker of his figure, Di Tian vanished from the place.
Gu Yuena clearly still had something to say, clearly unwilling to be confined here as a living conduit.
Unfortunately, Di Tian had no interest in listening to her babble any longer.
He had other matters to attend to.
Such as using the fully cultivated Yuanen Yehui to fish up the Demon Plane, and then devour it.
And using the half-dead Abyssal Holy Lord to lure out his "mother," the Crimson Mother.
Once he acquired both of those energy packages—plus the energy pack from the Abyssal Plane—Di Tian, as a God King, would find it relatively easy to construct a new Divine Realm in the universe.
Afterward, by leveraging the high-level plane's authority to connect to lower planes, he could absorb the legacy of the former Douluo Divine Realm, including hundreds of lower planes.
At present, the Douluo Divine Realm hadn't been gone for very long. Its many lower planes hadn't had thousands of years to grow wildly and evolve like independent worlds.
Thus, they were still ripe for takeover by a newly formed Divine Realm.
Once this inheritance was absorbed, the Divine Core of the new Divine Realm could offer tangible boosts to Di Tian's combat strength.
The only slightly troublesome issue... was time.
So, Di Tian's first stop was the battlefield of Yuanen Yehui and five of the last Shrek Seven Devils.
Due to this tight schedule, Di Tian intended to leave the entire "Devour the Demon Plane" project to Yuanen Yehui, with Bi Ji leading a soul beast support team.
Historically, this was the final grand battle involving six of the last generation of Shrek Seven Devils.
It had become the longest continuous war in recent times.
Its effects spanned land, sea, and sky—everywhere showed the scars of their battle.
Although Xie Xie's group had the numerical advantage, Yuanen Yehui alone had them completely on the run.
Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan were even more shocked—Yuanen Yehui hadn't been this powerful the last time they'd encountered her.
In terms of sheer cultivation, Yuanen Yehui's level wasn't overwhelmingly higher than the five.
She was indeed a quasi-god at the peak of her realm, but so were the others—demi-gods within the same boundary.
A fight that should have been evenly matched had turned into a one-sided massacre. Why?
Because Yuanen Yehui had mastered the innate secret art of the Body Sect to its highest level—the Impervious Golden Body.
Born of nature, flawless and immaculate, the Impervious Golden Body was immune to all negative conditions.It cleansed the body, resisted all poisons, and rendered any energy-based control skill useless.It could absorb any type of energy from the world as nourishment.
It truly allowed one to rival the gods in a mortal body.
Like Tang Wulin, this golden body was cultivated from divine beast essence and blood.
It resembled a golden shell forged from molten metal—a golden armor-like external organ.
In the chaotic battle, Yuanen Yehui was unstoppable, moving with terrifying dominance.
Though only a small difference in realm separated the sides, it was effectively like five demi-gods being brutally crushed by the continent's strongest warrior.
Ever since Di Tian shattered Tang San's divine consciousness and ruined the pocket world hiding Tang Wulin, the battle had neared its conclusion.
Xie Xie, the fastest of them all, was the last to be caught.
None were killed—but all were left half-crippled.
Yuanen Yehui, having witnessed Di Tian forging divine weapons from Limit Douluo, had deliberately spared them as materials for weapon forging.
Otherwise, the battle could have ended even earlier.
Upon seeing Di Tian arrive in person, Yuanen Yehui prepared to hand over her spoils—five high-quality forging materials.
Di Tian hesitated slightly but, noticing a strange emotion on her face, ultimately accepted them.
"Yehui, how did the Holy Spirit Church under your control perform this time?"
After reviewing the reports from the evil soul masters, Yuanen Yehui replied:
"The overall quality doesn't match the harvests from the Shrek Academy bombing or your battle against the human alliance, but the quantity is large enough to make up for it. It should suffice to launch the Blood River God-Slaying Array again."
Di Tian nodded lightly.
"You remember the plan I told you about? Fishing for the Demon Plane and devouring it?"
"I've already informed Bi Ji—she'll lead the soul beasts and use the energy-sustaining ability of the Tree of Life to assist you."
"Go."
"Alright." Yuanen Yehui had just replied when her vision blurred.
By the time her sight cleared, Di Tian had vanished without a trace.
Judging by her expression, Yuanen Yehui was clearly not pleased.
Compared to the cold, career-focused Di Tian of today, she preferred the tyrant Di Tian who once ruled from a palace deep in the Star Dou Great Forest.
With a touch of feminine melancholy, Yuanen Yehui began to enact the plan she had long prepared—
A plan targeting the Demon Plane, a realm she had been obsessed with for years.
After all, the tragedy of her childhood had originated there.
Now, it was time for a reckoning.
"Hoo—"
The air stirred without wind.The Fallen Angel Martial Soul possessed her—nine orange soul rings pulsing with terrifying dark pressure.
Then came the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, also with nine orange rings.But with bloodline and quality far surpassing the Fallen Angel, its pressure was even greater.
A twin martial soul combination—one divine, one supreme.A total of eighteen orange soul rings, quasi-god-level cultivation, and an Impervious Golden Body rivaling godhood.
Her actual strength now approached that of Yun Ming, the former number one on the continent, and the Demon Sovereign, who had not yet ascended.
With combat power near divinity, she alone was capable of supporting a Blood River God-Slaying Array, just like Di Tian or the Demon Sovereign.
Suddenly, countless demonic patterns flared into existence, centered on Yuanen Yehui.
They began to spread outward without restraint—boundless and overwhelming.
