"Let's wait another two years. I'll release the seal for you in two years," Tang Rao pursed his lips. "You'll only be able to return to your peak after eight years, so there's no use in letting you out now.

In two years, when the space barrier shatters, you wouldn't be much help anyway.

"Tang Rao, come on, just let me out so I can recover. It's been over a thousand four hundred years, I'm done for. Please have some mercy, I'm going insane!" the Bloodthirsty Demon bellowed.

He didn't even know how he had endured the millennium.

It was an absolute nightmare.

"Let me be honest with you, two years from now, the space barrier set by Chen Tuan will break. With such a rich resource deposit on Blue Star, people from the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains will rush over here at all costs. I've made a promise to Chen Tuan to protect Blue Star," Tang Rao said straightforwardly.

The Bloodthirsty Demon had already sworn an oath under the Heavenly Dao, so there was no need to worry about him causing trouble for the next ten years.

As for after ten years, Tang Rao himself might not even be afraid of this creature anymore.

"Two years? Oh, come on... You've just reached the Golden Core Stage, are you up for it? Let me do it. In two years, I could at least advance to the Mahayana Realm. With my combat strength, I should be able to handle the early stages of the Heavenly Tribulation," said the Bloodthirsty Demon.

"What's the use? Do you think that everything here could only attract someone in the early stages of Heavenly Tribulation?" Tang Rao asked.

The Bloodthirsty Demon fell silent; he was well aware of the abundant resources on Blue Star, unimaginably rich.

Even Chen Tuan didn't know why such a peculiar phenomenon occurred here. The Spirit Plants are exceedingly abundant, yet the cultivation is extremely weak.

It seems that this situation existed even during Chen Tuan's time.

What Chen Tuan did was repel the Ten-winged Demon Dragon and then set up the space barrier, making this place disappear from the sight of the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains for thousands of years.

"Anyway, just let me out. I want to feel the wind, the clouds, the sunlight, and the air. Hurry up! Otherwise, I'm going to fall out with you!" the Bloodthirsty Demon desperately pleaded.

Tang Rao pondered for a moment.

"Seeing as you're being so artistic about it, fine." Tang Rao nodded. Although the space barrier set by Chen Tuan had shielded this place from the Heavenly Dao, it only prevented the creatures here from sensing the Heavenly Dao, not the other way around.

If the Bloodthirsty Demon bore ulterior motives against him, the Heavenly Dao itself would descend and strike down this creature.

The Heavenly Dao is not like the Heavenly Tribulation; the Heavenly Tribulation can be resisted, but if the Heavenly Dao decides to destroy you, death is instantaneous.

Even those in the Great Perfection Realm are no more than ants before the Heavenly Dao.

...

Releasing the seal wasn't a difficult task for Tang Rao. In about half an hour, he had communicated with the sixteen Heavenly Dao inscriptions on the boulder.

The boulder trembled, and the sky suddenly changed.

Eric was a bit startled, damn it, what was all of this about?

Tang Rao's conversation with the boulder was completely beyond his understanding, and now, why did the sky suddenly turn dark during broad daylight, what was going on!

"Crack!" Suddenly, a crack appeared on the boulder in front of them.

"Holy shit, Bloodthirsty Demon, don't smash the stone, I need that thing!" Tang Rao shouted out loud.

"Damn!" A roar came from inside the boulder. Immediately after, the top of the stone exploded, and a massive body leaped out.

In an instant, he landed in front of Tang Rao and Eric.

Eric was dumbfounded. The body in front of them was not much different from a human's.

But I just have one question, have you ever seen a human being five meters tall?

Not even with gigantism could you grow like this.

It's just too exaggerated.

Regarding Tang Rao, he wasn't the least bit surprised, as he had already seen the spatial projection of the Bloodthirsty Demon.

"HAHAHAHA! The old man is finally out! The old man is finally free!" The Bloodthirsty Demon burst into wild laughter, looking up at the sky, "This wind, how refreshing; this rain, how endearing! HAHAHA!"

Tang Rao: "..."

Really, I couldn't tell that you were such an artistically inclined Heavenly Demon from another domain.

"Thank you for your eighteen generations of ancestors, Tang Rao!" the Bloodthirsty Demon shouted.

"Damn, who talks like that?!" Tang Rao cursed back.

"HAHAHA, it feels great to be cursed at, it truly feels fantastic. To be honest, despite being shameless, I really like you. You're much more interesting than Chen Tuan, HAHAHAHA!" The Bloodthirsty Demon couldn't stop laughing.

Over a thousand years... He had been waiting for this day for over a thousand years.

The torment and the vicissitudes of time that it signified were not something an ordinary person could endure.

As for Tang Rao, he simply gave the Bloodthirsty Demon a blank look, activated his Space Ring, and took in that huge Stone.

There were sixteen Heavenly Dao markings on it; it would be good for Lei Li and the others to comprehend, saving himself the trouble.

Boom!

Another loud noise erupted, and the massive body of the Bloodthirsty Demon disappeared, replaced by a bald man of a similar stature to Tang Rao who looked quite handsome, aside from being hairless...

Transforming was not a difficult feat for someone in the Mahayana Realm.

"Tang Rao, when you were in the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms, what Realm were you at? Did you really reincarnate and start over with your Cultivation out of sheer boredom?" The Bloodthirsty Demon asked as he watched Tang Rao; he genuinely wanted to know if Tang Rao was really that insane.

"Think I have a hole in my head? I was betrayed and that's why I was reincarnated," Tang Rao said with a roll of his eyes, "And about that array of rules I played you with—I lied about that too."

The Bloodthirsty Demon: "..."

"What the hell kind of crap choice is Chen Tuan!!" The Bloodthirsty Demon roared with anger. Tang Rao, this guy, was full of traps.

He decided then, in the future, he must never trust a single word from Tang Rao, not even a punctuation mark.

"But there's something I did not lie about, I did indeed make it to being crowned as the King of the Seventy-two Domains. Before being harmed, I was at the peak of Heavenly Tribulation, just one step away from Great Perfection," Tang Rao remarked with a shrug.

Thinking about it gave him a headache. He was once the King of One Realm, yet he was taken down by scum like Mei Fanghua.

It was just ridiculous.

"Wow, then within two years, you can definitely recover to your peak state. With the abundance of Spirit Plants on Blue Star, you might even have a shot at breaking into the Great Perfection Realm," said the Bloodthirsty Demon.

Tang Rao: "..."

"Thanks for the high regard, but do you have any idea how much Spiritual Energy was consumed just for me to advance from the peak of integration to the Golden Core? Would you believe me if I said it was three billion breaths?" Tang Rao said.

"Pfft!" The Bloodthirsty Demon nearly spat out a mouthful of saliva.

From the peak of integration to the Golden Core, three billion breaths of Spiritual Energy—was Tang Rao joking? That colossal amount of Spiritual Energy would have exploded you several times over.

"Anyway, it's a long story," Tang Rao said shaking his head.

In reality, he could shatter everything and start all over again. Following the normal process, he could definitely return to his peak within two years.

But he didn't want to.

Spiritual wisdom had told him that without it, he would never reach the Great Perfection Realm, never step onto the path of immortality.

Although it sounded unbelievable, for some reason, he decided to believe.

Once he shattered the Golden Core and began again, the spiritual wisdom would disappear, and he might be able to quickly recover to the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation, but... as for Great Perfection, that probably would no longer be a possibility.
