A startling change had also taken place in Di Ting. Though his legs were still very short, his body had grown huge, and he showed the appearance of various wild beasts, including a dragon, a tiger, and a leopard. These appearances made those who saw them suck in their breaths.
It was a climactic clash, a battle between Demigods.
Of course, many people did not know what the so-called Demigod was, but they could feel the terrible pressure from Di Ting and Lord Dog. Faced with such pressure, they could only retreat.
At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to become dark and silent, and the stars were dim. The fluctuation generated by the battle between the two dogs was constantly sweeping across the battlefield.
Experts from both Nether Prison and Earth Prison were all watching. This battle was very important because its outcome would determine who would dominate the Netherworld in the future.
Many people were uneasy at the sight of two dogs as big as mountains fighting. They were too strong, as if they were beyond the limits of this world.
All of a sudden, a black hole appeared in the sky. It looked mysterious, and as it rotated, it seemed it could suck away people’s minds.
Someone cried out, raising his hand and pointing to the black hole. The hand he lifted, however, was immediately twisted, and the intense pain from the fractured bones contorted his face.
The sudden occurrence attracted the attention of many people.
Bu Fang frowned. Looking at the black hole, he felt it was very familiar. He thought he had seen it somewhere. Then, he recalled something, and he turned to look at Tian Cang. “Isn’t that the Transmigration?”
“No… This is not the Transmigration. This black hole contains the Power of the Laws, which is drawn by the battle between Di Ting and Earth Prison Dog. The Laws are supreme and cannot be violated!” Tian Cang said with a serious face.
He revealed the mystery of the black hole. It didn’t come to him but was drawn by the battle between Di Ting and Lord Dog. The strength of these two dogs had gone beyond the limits of this world, so they were detected by the Power of the Laws.
Lord Dog and Di Ting also discovered the black hole, and their hair stood on end instantly as if they felt a deadly crisis.
Boom!
After colliding one more time and stirring up a ripple of energy, they moved backward at the same time, then hovered in the starry sky, watching warily at the black hole. They felt that if they continued to fight, the Power of the Laws would punish them.
Di Ting glanced at the black hole, then at Lord Dog. His body was once again shrouded in the black fog. Even he was afraid of the Power of the Laws, so he did not intend to continue to fight Lord Dog.
He never thought Earth Prison Dog could reach this level so fast. It was quite beyond his expectation. With Lord Dog here, it became very difficult for him to retrieve the God’s Heart. Although the battle between them was intense, they could not defeat each other. So, instead of wasting time, Di Ting simply left without hesitation and disappeared into the sky. As for the God’s Heart, he could only find another way to retrieve it.
The battle between the two Demigods shocked everyone, and the whole Netherworld was boiling.
With the battle over, Lord Dog floated in midair, squinting into the distance. His huge mountain-like body slowly shrank and gradually turned into his usual chubby appearance.
Meanwhile, the black hole’s rotation slowed down and gradually disappeared.
The battle was over, but the whole Netherworld was shocked. Many people were surprised that Earth Prison and Nether Prison were neck and neck. And, most shockingly, Earth Prison seemed to be gaining the upper hand.
This time, Earth Prison had gained a big advantage, while Nether Prison had lost a great deal in the battle. The mere loss of Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s Heaven Nether Puppet, Earth Nether Puppet, and Human Nether Puppet was enough to weaken Nether Prison, not to mention the death of Sword Demon Patriarch. Each of these puppets was equivalent to a Perfected Great Saint. For Nether Prison, that was an unbearable price to pay.
But fortunately, Nether Puppeteer Patriarch was still alive. As long as she was not dead, it meant there was still a chance to make a comeback. It must be admitted, however, that Nether Prison had lost and suffered in this battle.
Earth Prison Dog, who had become a Demigod, and Nether King Tian Cang, who was resurrected, made Earth Prison rise again. The whole Netherworld was no longer dominated by Nether Prison alone.
Nether Prison had Di Ting, but Earth Prison had Earth Prison Dog. They were equally formidable and could not defeat each other.
As the black hole disappeared, the Nether Prison Great Saints turned and left one after another. The Great Saint of Winged Man Valley gave a cold snort. Holy light sprinkled from him, and the twelve wings behind him flapped slowly. Then, he ripped the void and walked into it. On the other side, the Buddha with a glowing disk behind his head put his hands together, smiled gently, and said, “Amitabha!” After that, he also left.
The battlefield of the stars fell into silence again.
The Nether Prison experts had retreated, while the Earth Prison experts, after a brief silence, exploded into a deafening cheer, their voices echoing throughout the battlefield.
Lord Dog, floating in midair, yawned lazily. His eyes were drooping slightly, and he looked drowsy.
Looking at him, Bu Fang couldn’t help twitching the corner of his mouth, while Tian Cang’s pupils constricted.
…
The battle was over, but its aftermath spread throughout the Netherworld. Soon, every small world learned about it.
In the Immortal Cooking Realm, the Immortal Tree was emitting warm light. A naked figure stood on top of it with a deep look in his eyes.
Realm Lord Di Tai was a lot calmer now, and his aura had become much stronger. After merging with the Immortal Tree, his cultivation base rose rapidly. However, it was also because of this that his cultivation base was fixed from then on and could never grow again. But he had no regrets. If he had not done so, the Immortal Cooking Realm might have collapsed under the attack of Nether Prison’s army.

Nether Prison had always wanted to form a great world, but now it seemed that this plan was going to fail.
Even so, Realm Lord Di Tai was not relaxed at all. He looked at the boundless starry sky and let out a long sigh.
“If the Netherworld does not become a great world, it will eventually be sensed by other great worlds… At that time, it would also be a disaster.”
…
The surroundings of the Black Temple had been completely reduced to ruins. This place was originally a plain, but the battle of Nine-revolution Great Saints changed the terrain and turned it into a vast canyon. This was the power of Nine-revolution Great Saints.
In the void, a huge golden skeleton looked at the people in front of the Black Temple with blood-colored ghostly fire beating in its eyes. There was an inaudible sound coming from its mouth as if it were saying something. Then, it turned around, tore the void, and left.
Many people gathered in front of the Black Temple, including Nether King Er Ha, Yellow Spring Great Sage, Ice Saint, Prison Overlord Ying Long, and the Blood Illuminating Dragon with its drooping head. Nethery was sitting on the Netherworld Ship with Foxy in her arms, while Bu Fang was leaning against the side of the ship with his hands clasped behind him.
Lord Dog was lying in front of the Black Temple, while Tian Cang stood at the side. The wound in his chest was slowly closing up. This was the amazing ability of the Heaven Nether Puppet. Unless he was completely wiped out, he would slowly recover.
In the battle to guard Lord Dog’s breakthrough, Earth Prison won a major victory, and Nether Prison was defeated. Not only did the latter lose Sword Demon Patriarch, but they also lost Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s three strongest puppets.
Of course, Earth Prison had also paid a great price. Ice Saint was seriously injured again, and she now looked very weak. Er Ha’s aura was faltering. Excessive use of his potential had brought him some serious side effects. At the moment, he had a spicy strip dangling between his lips, and he seemed fine.
As for Bu Fang, he had lost another divine power liquid drop. It was a significant loss.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the biggest beneficiary of this battle was not Earth Prison, Nether Prison, Lord Dog, nor Di Ting, but Whitey, whom no one had paid much attention to!
Yes, it was Whitey, who had become a chicken thief, for he had robbed Nether Puppeteer Patriarch of the God’s Heart.
Everyone was a little curious that the God’s Heart could drive Di Ting crazy.
“The God’s Heart is an energy source stone. It’s from a more powerful great world, so it cannot be found here in the Netherworld. There’s information about it in the records, but I don’t know much about it,” said Lord Dog, yawning.
In fact, he had suffered losses in this battle, but not much. He had intended to break through to that supreme realm at one go. With the array that could manipulate time, he might be able to break through the realm of God. Of course, there was a good chance that he would fail and end up a Demigod.
Although a Demigod and a God were only one word, there was a huge gap between them.
“After all, the Netherworld is only a small world, and it’s not easy to become a God here…” Lord Dog said with emotion.
Ice Saint glanced at Lord Dog, then at Tian Cang. “The God’s Heart is actually a product of the previous age,” she said. “It is what a supreme existence found after killing an intruder from a great world. The great world is very strong in the starry sky.”
As the Lord of the Forbidden Land, Ice Saint knew many secrets. Her words surprised everyone even more, and the way they looked at Whitey changed. One could see that their gazes were now filled with envy and curiosity.
“No wonder Di Ting has gone mad… The energy source stone from a great world is enough to drive him crazy…” said Lord Dog, sticking out his tongue.
The others nodded in agreement.
Bu Fang’s eyes flashed. He learned a lot from what Ice Saint said. However, he did not care too much. After all, he was only a chef, and there were things he didn’t need to know too much.
The crowd left. Lord Dog chose to stay in the Black Temple since he needed to stabilize his cultivation base. He knew Di Ting would do the same, or else he could easily fall back to the Great Saint Realm.
They did not disturb him, leaving him alone in the Black Temple. Since he only wanted to stabilize his cultivation base, he no longer needed Bu Fang and others to guard him. No one in all the Netherworld would be foolish enough to offend him now.
…
After the crowd left the Black Temple, they all returned to Yellow Spring City.
Ice Saint went back to her God Vanishing Mountain. She belonged to the forbidden land, and she could not leave it for too long.
The bustling city surprised Tian Cang, who had finally come back to life.
No one was happier than Ying Long when Tian Cang was resurrected. After all, he was once Tian Cang’s right-hand man. The old man spent all day beside the Nether King and was as happy as a child.
The door of Yellow Spring Little Restaurant was closed. When Bu Fang and the others came to the restaurant, many vendors around it were surprised. Was the restaurant going to reopen? Immediately, people rushed to line up in front of the restaurant.
After opening the door, Bu Fang was the first to enter. Nethery followed him with Foxy in her arms. Tian Cang, Er Ha, Yellow Spring Great Sage, Ying Long, and the other Prison Overlords followed.
When Bu Fang sat in a chair to rest, Ying Long led the other Prison Overlords and knelt in front of Tian Cang. Their faces were very solemn.
Bu Fang and Nethery looked on curiously.
“Tian Cang, my lord, please take back the post of Nether King and lead Earth Prison to greatness again!” Ying Long said seriously.
Er Ha also lowered his head and looked at Tian Cang sincerely.
