Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

After some thought, he immediately disclosed the news of Te She passing by the Blood and Flesh Nest and heading together with Red Flower Buddha toward a desolate area in the Southeast Star Domain, as well as the news of Red Flower Buddha's Soul Lamp shattering.

"Is that so?"

"Isn't Te She one of His Majesty Asna's people? What danger could there possibly be in a wasteland star domain?"

The flesh sphere with the sinister eye paused in surprise, a flicker of astonishment passing through its gaze. Suddenly, hundreds of tendrils extended from its massive body. The tendrils curved momentarily before snapping straight, propelling the sinister-eyed flesh sphere upward toward the Blood-Colored Throne atop the blood-drenched dome.

In an instant!

"So, what do you intend to do with Black Scorpion?" the Destruction Evil Lord asked boredly, grooming his body with his tendrils.

After all, it wasn't someone from the Venerable Buddha Realm causing trouble; such petty matters felt beneath his interest.

Surely even such minor incidents wouldn't compel the grand Destruction Evil Lord to personally step in.

"Reporting to Lord Destruction Evil Eye, Red Flower Buddha was, after all, under my command. Over the years, we shared some sentiment in that regard."

"Moreover, he recently sent word that he had successfully gathered his Dao Fruit."

"A star domain that could cause the downfall of someone who had already stepped into the Dao Fruit Realm—this is no ordinary situation. I plan to investigate personally!"

Black Scorpion mused briefly before speaking resolutely.

"Oh? Now this is getting interesting. With your cultivation at the Dao Fruit Eighth Layer Realm, it'll be sufficient. Te She represents His Majesty Asna, while Red Flower Buddha was under the command of Lord Bo Xun."

"Now that the newly advanced Red Flower Buddha has died, that little serpent has likely suffered the same fate."

"Those bold enough to offend two supreme forces that overlook all the heavens—such audacity even surpasses mine."

Supporting his massive head with two tendrils, the Destruction Evil Lord muttered in admiration.

His tone seemed to drift back to the glorious days of his past in the Venerable Buddha Realm.

Back then, when he chose to attack the Buddha Emperor Territory, there was, in fact, one unspoken reason behind it.

Beyond his desire to savor the taste of Ming Fei, who overlooked all the heavens, he was also gambling.

Even if, in the final moments, all his careful arrangements failed and the Buddha Emperor intervened personally, he gambled on the possibility that Lord Bo Xun would step in to support him.

It was his astonishing wisdom as the Destruction Evil Lord.

The reason he had chosen the Venerable Buddha Realm, rather than the Qinglian Venerate Tao Realm or the Venerate Demon World, wasn't that Ming Fei from the Buddha Realm was more exquisite than the fairies or witches of the other two major worlds—rather, it was precisely this gamble.

After all, if he targeted people under the Taoist Emperor or Demon Emperor, there would be no cultivator overlooking the heavens who would intervene to lend support, and he would very likely meet his end without question.

"Go ahead, go ahead; this matter is indeed worth you investigating, Black Scorpion."

"Anyway, the baldies from the Venerable Buddha Realm haven't made a move in ages. Feel free to take a trip—just return swiftly. With your cultivation at the Dao Fruit Eighth Layer, if any danger arises, you should have no trouble extracting yourself."

"Oh, and if there happen to be any passable female cultivators along the way, remember to bring a few back for me."

The Destruction Evil Lord waved the tendrils atop his head with vigorous energy as he spoke.

"Yes, Lord Destruction Evil Lord!"

After bowing respectfully, Black Scorpion's figure flickered and shot out of the Blood and Flesh Nest, heading in the direction of the last traces left by Red Flower Buddha.

If his memory served correctly, Red Flower Buddha and Te She's ultimate destination was a native world called Lingxia Realm.

....

....

"Yue Qingping, damn your grandpa!"

Above the star domain of Lingxia Realm, a figure belonging to Xiong Kui Taoist continued cursing bitterly, muttering for quite a while in programming languages before finally pausing.

After reclaiming his Three Corpse Primordial Spirits and achieving full perfection, he had initially planned to relax a little before beginning to obliterate the Gaze Mark left within him by Asna.

Now, it seemed he could begin immediately.

But this wretched foe possessed formidable might and was vindictive to the extreme, which caused countless masters to retreat from him in fear.

Of course,
