Master of Strange Dao

"Then no one would suspect much."

"Hiss..." Zuo Zizaitian drew a sharp breath, faintly feeling that the King Jiunian he knew didn't seem to have such deep schemes.

However, thinking not only of King Jiunian but also the Heavenly Devil King...

Ultimately, King Jiunian suffered great losses, sacrificing people, sending them to their deaths.

This indeed matched his impression of King Jiunian.

So, was the Heavenly Devil King controlling from behind the scenes, coordinating with the Earth Devil Venerate across the distance?

The more he thought about it, the deeper it seemed. The thoughts of a Devil King were unfathomable.

In one point, Tou Zizaitian was right. Throughout the ages, only the Earth Devil Venerate had the power to draw strength from the Three Calamities.

After pondering endlessly, Zuo Zizaitian gritted his teeth.

"As you said, it's better for one of us to die than for both of us."

"If you could seize the opportunity to join the Earth Devil Venerate's forces, it would be a great fortune."

"I heard from the Confusing Heart Demon that the Heavenly Devil King was also gravely injured and fell into slumber."

"If the Earth Devil Venerate favors you, you could achieve great merit."

"One day, you might even have the chance to become the new Heavenly Devil King."

The Heavenly Devil Clan was different from the Earth Devils.

There was only one Earth Devil, the Earth Devil Venerate.

But there were many Heavenly Devils, and if the Heavenly Devil King were to fall someday, a new Heavenly Devil King might emerge.

It was not just a matter of rank but also of strength.

They were once one, and if one day Tou Zizaitian became the new Heavenly Devil King, life or death wouldn't matter.

Now it seemed there was indeed a glimmer of opportunity.

"If you want to join that lord's forces, you must first earn merit."

"Why not take that ancient toad skin and present it as an offering?"

Tou Zizaitian had no choice, constantly reminded by the power of the Three Calamities within him.

Zuo Zizaitian had some doubts, yet couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

Furthermore, with the news of the heavily injured and slumbering Heavenly Devil King...

The rebellious bone at the back of his head began to rise rapidly.

If the Heavenly Devil King was alive, the other Heavenly Devils wouldn't have even the slightest chance.

Now a barely perceptible gap had appeared, and in their eyes, the light in that gap was as dazzling as the midday sun.

It was a do-or-die situation, seeking life in death, fighting to the last moment.

The two Zizaitian quietly left the borrowed secret chamber, taking a long detour to reach the vicinity of the Abyssal Rift.

After gathering some information, Zuo Zizaitian squeezed out a drop of blood, chanting in a low voice as some information was embedded in it, and then the blood slowly dissipated.

"Let's go, tie me up and take me back. We were once one; if I die, I die, considering it just a loss of some power."

"I just sent a message to the Confusing Heart Demon, telling him I've caused chaos outside."

"Let him, in thirty days, have those demons launch a full assault."

"As long as they break through the Abyssal Rift, it's enough."

"When you go back, relay this information to that lord."

Zuo Zizaitian took out some items, and then his body suddenly shattered, leaving only a left leg, which Tou Zizaitian bound with Magical Treasures and talismans and stored in a Storage Bag to take away.

He then sealed the Storage Bag with the borrowed talisman, sighing deeply.

"I also don't want this, but my whole body is already filled with that lord's Three Calamities power."

"As you've seen, in just a few days, when we merely approached the Abyssal Rift a little, we were almost discovered."

"The power of the Three Calamities was on the verge of manifesting, so I had to let you die."

"We were once one, but that was in the past."

"Since we split, you are you, and I am me."

"Our only connection now is being Heavenly Devils."

"I have been locked in a standoff with Old Emperor Zhen's consciousness for so many years."

"I've felt so many things and learned a lot."

"I truly don't want to die now."

"I know you still doubt."

"You think I have no doubts?"

"But I am damn well marinated in the power of the Three Calamities, what can I do."

"As you said, if there is even the slimmest hope of becoming the Heavenly Devil King one day..."

"Hey, whether he is the Earth Devil Venerate or not... no, no, no, only the Earth Devil Venerate has such power; it must be him."

"Disasters and calamities will surely be numerous in this world in the future; the Earth Devil Venerate will definitely reach the peak."

"Moreover, having cultivated the Hungry Ghost Dao, no one will be able to stop him, not even the heavily injured and slumbering Heavenly Devil King."

Tou Zizaitian mumbled to the Storage Bag for a long while, leaving secretly satisfied.

He quietly snuck back to the vicinity of Jinlan Mountain.

Feeling the vast ghost qi of the hungry ghosts there, a subconscious rejection arose beyond his control.

Merely sensing that massive aura made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Given his current state of being without a physical body, falling into it would be a certain death.

Soon, he saw another Devil, standing calmly amidst the locust forest, who had already noticed him.

Upon seeing Lou Huai, Tou Zizaitian sighed inwardly, no wonder this Devil could be heavily relied upon.

Look at his unchanging expression, as if the massive ghost qi of the hungry ghosts was just a gentle spring breeze.

In this aspect alone, Tou Zizaitian couldn't compare.

Tou Zizaitian approached quietly, enduring the discomfort, and bowed.

"I have brought back that Heavenly Devil and have some urgent matters to report directly to the lord."

Lou Huai gave a faint smile, glancing at Tou Zizaitian.
