1362 Di Ting! (1/2)

As her voice rang out, Tian Cang's eyes narrowed, and his expression changed slightly.

'Di Ting? Nether Prison's most powerful existence? Has the man who is said to have broken the shackles and is determined to unite the Netherworld into a great world come?'

The previous Nether King tensed up, and he released his divine will to scan the surroundings. Just hearing the name made him a little nervous. It was an incredible feeling. He was Nether King Tian Cang, who was not afraid of anything and even dared to attack Nether Prison. However, when he heard the name from Nether Puppeteer Patriarch, he sucked in a cold breath, and his heart skipped a beat as if he had heard something that should not be mentioned.

Bu Fang frowned in the distance. He also heard the Patriarch's weak voice. ”Di… Ting…” The name seemed to have a magical power that made those who heard it tense up. He thought that it was familiar, and this familiarity came from the memory of his previous life.

Di Ting was a mystical beast who served Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva. It was said to have nine different images and possessed the abilities of many spirit beasts.

'Is this Di Ting the legendary Di Ting in the memory of my previous life? Is he really a mystical beast who serves Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva?'

For some reason, the idea came to Bu Fang's mind. But then, he thought maybe they just had the same name. This was a different world, and the Earth Prison here was not the underworld he knew from his previous life. So obviously, this Di Ting was not what he knew. They were different.

There could be no such coincidence in this world.

Nether Puppeteer Patriarch's call of Di Ting was like her last struggle before her death. The name seemed to hold all her hopes.

The way things turned out was totally out of her expectation. She did not expect Bu Fang to have a way to revive Tian Cang. To achieve that, he must fight against the supreme Power of the Laws. Had this little chef been able to do that?

Although the resurrected Tian Cang was strong, Nether Puppeteer Patriarch was not afraid of him. She had even become crazy and unleashed the power of the God's Heart fragment to kill all the people present. She would rather use the method of mutual destruction than disturb Di Ting because she was worried that it would affect his breakthrough.

What she did not expect, however, was that her God's Heart had been stolen by that accursed puppet!

She spent her whole life making puppets, but in the end, she was defeated by a puppet. Maybe that was her karma. What goes around comes around.

On the verge of death, Nether Puppeteer Patriarch was filled with resentment and fear, so she called out the name, a name that should not be mentioned.

The Great Saints of the nine Nether Prison clans had all arrived. However, they were greeted by Nether Puppeteer Patriarch's dying scene and a name she called out, ”Di… Ting…”

As soon as they heard the name, their faces became very uneasy, fear evident in their stunned features.

…

Meanwhile, in the Di Ting Clan's homeland…

It was a frightful world enveloped in a black vortex. The spinning vortex was rumbling, and there was black energy beating inside like the breathing of some terrible existence.

A vague figure could be seen sitting cross-legged in the center of the vortex.

”Di… Ting…” A faint voice drifted over, lingering around the vortex. It sounded like the wail of a ghost, which made the hair of those who heard it stand on end.

A Great Saint of the clan was sitting not far away. Suddenly, he opened his eyes. He thought he heard something. Soon, he heard it clearly. It was a long sigh, coming from the black vortex. His expression changed instantly, and he turned to look at it and saw that the vortex slowly stopped spinning. Then, he heard another sigh. His cheeks twitched, and he went down on his knees with an excited look on his face.

'Pa-Patriarch?! Is Patriarch leaving the seclusion?' he thought to himself.

Di Ting Patriarch was breaking through that supreme realm, which was the realm above the Perfected Great Saint realm. No one in Nether Prison had succeeded for tens of thousands of years. Had he succeeded? If so, it would be great news for the Di Ting Clan!

”Welcome back, Patriarch! All the worlds will once again be awed by Patriarch's mightiness!” cried the Great Saint with great excitement, his body trembling. His voice rumbled and spread, making the whole homeland boil up.

After a brief pause, the vortex finally began to slowly shrink. It began to spin again as well, but its speed was much slower now. With a clear sound of footsteps, a figure emerged from inside.

The Great Saint knelt on the ground, his face becoming more and more respectful. He could already feel a supreme pressure from the vortex, which he had never felt before. Even Nether Puppeteer Patriarch, who was a Perfected Great Saint, could not compare to it.

Was that the legendary realm above the Great Saint? What kind of a realm was it?

Tap, tap, tap…

The Great Saint raised his head and stared at the vortex, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Patriarch after his breakthrough. As the footsteps grew louder and louder, the figure in the vortex gradually became clear.

However, when he saw the figure clearly, the Great Saint completely froze. His eyes were full of astonishment and disbelief!

'Heavens! Is this our Patriarch?!'

The Great Saint felt that his world view collapsed at this moment. What slowly emerged from the vortex was not a peerless expert with a striking appearance, nor a terrible existence that gave off a majestic aura, but a… cute dog?

'What the heck?'

A dog? The highly respected Patriarch of the Di Ting Clan, the supreme existence who awed the whole Earth Prison, was actually a… dog? A cute dog?

The Great Saint was dumbfounded. Staring at the little dog coming out of the vortex with small and nimble steps, he had a constipated look on his face.

How would he describe the dog? It had striped yellow and white fur, with yellow fur around its eyes. Its triangular ears were pointed upward, its nose was black, its body was slightly chubby, and its legs were short. All in all, it looked cute.
