Chapter 433 - You May Simply Do Your Utmost
"So you didn't die after all."
Watching Shi Guitian, who should have been killed by him long ago, appear before his eyes once again, Mo Di felt quite surprised.
As he said this, a playful smile remained on the corners of his mouth; he simply did not take Shi Guitian seriously at all.
It was as if the brutal massacre of Shi Guitian’s wife and daughter was something he hadn't even done.
"Of course I didn't die!"
"To seek revenge against you, and to atone for my sins, I have waited for you for four hundred thousand years!"
"Finally, I have lived to see your arrival!"
Whether from rage or excitement, Shi Guitian’s clenched hands could not stop trembling slightly.
Back then, he had already been in despair. In his utter discouragement, he had been ready to let the Demon Flames incinerate his physical body and divine soul until nothing remained.
But the shrill, agonizing wails of his deceased wife and daughter echoed in his ears at all times...!
Recalling their tragic deaths, the boundless fury in his heart allowed him to ultimately endure the excruciating pain of the Demon Flames burning his body and soul.
He bit and tore off the skin and flesh that were burning with Demon Flames piece by piece!
Even though every bone and meridian in his body was shattered, he relied on crawling on the ground, gnawing on tree roots, and drinking muddy water to cling to a wretched life!
For this purpose, he slowly rebuilt his cultivation bit by bit, only to one day seek revenge for his wife and daughter!
This wait lasted for nearly four hundred thousand years!
For these four hundred thousand years, he paid a great price, counting the days one by one, keeping watch before the graves of his wife and daughter for fear that he might forget!
Today, finally seeing Mo Di again, he wished he could immediately hack Mo Di into ten thousand pieces, skinning him and plucking out his tendons!
He would inflict every most cruel punishment of the Demon Realm upon his body!
"Oh~ this truly is interesting~"
"This Lord is actually starting to look forward to it."
"Four hundred thousand years ago, you were no match for This Lord. You don’t actually think that now, as a piece of rotting wood nearing its end, you could be This Lord’s match, do you~?"
Listening to Shi Guitian’s words filled with hatred and killing intent, Mo Di showed no concern at all; instead, his face was full of disdain.
Forty hundred thousand years ago, he could crush Shi Guitian at will.
Now, four hundred thousand years later, his cultivation and strength had progressed by leaps and bounds, making him one of the Nine Great God Sovereigns of the Divine Realm!
How could he possibly lose to a former defeated opponent!
Furthermore, the current Shi Guitian was so old and decrepit that even walking was a struggle. He could crush him with a casual flick of a finger!
Shi Guitian did not rush to refute Mo Di. Instead, he turned around and spoke apologetically to Ning Yechen:
"Lord Demon Lord, I am sorry. This old man may have to be impolite within the Demon Sovereign Great Hall!"
"As for how you deal with me afterward, this old man will have no complaints."
Having said that, Shi Guitian’s aged eyes narrowed.
A terrifying cultivation of spiritual energy soared to the heavens, directly breaking through the dome of the Demon Sovereign Great Hall and disappearing straight into the night sky!
The grave mountain within Evernight Sovereign City trembled faintly.
From every single grave, thick, eerie green spiritual energy suddenly wafted out, gathering onto Shi Guitian’s body inside the Demon Sovereign Great Hall!
The aura of Shi Guitian’s cultivation climbed continuously without end.
His hunched body gradually stood tall and majestic, and his aged and decaying skin instantly glowed with new life.
His disheveled and filthy white hair turned into a silky and beautiful emerald green in the blink of an eye!
In an instant, right before everyone’s eyes, a hunched and hideous old man transformed into a cold and handsome man with a strong, upright stature!
And the spiritual energy from the grave mountain was still surging into his body incessantly!
Everyone present watched with slack-jawed amazement, their chins nearly hitting the floor in shock.
This—was this still the Old Shi they knew, who had one foot in the grave...?!
The difference was simply too vast!
Hun Mei stared without blinking, her eyes lighting up.
She hadn't expected that Old Shi’s youthful form would be so handsome! He wasn't even inferior to Lord Demon Lord!
How had she never noticed before! It seemed like Old Shi might not be a bad choice either...
Watching Shi Guitian, who had returned to youth by relying on the spiritual energy of the grave mountain and whose cultivation had reached its peak, Ning Yechen was also slightly surprised, then let out a resigned smile.
He had always known that Shi Guitian’s strength and cultivation were not merely as feeble as they appeared on the surface.
Otherwise, during that trip to the Heavenly Realm, Shi Guitian would not have dared to plainly state that he would take action on his behalf to kill Jian Xin and Xing Huan, who had come from the Divine Realm.
He just hadn't expected that Shi Guitian had been hiding his strength all along, and that for a hundred thousand years, without resting for a single day, he had been burying corpses on the grave mountain—all for this very moment...
That grave mountain was a massive array!
The residual spiritual energy on every corpse buried on the grave mountain would be transformed into spiritual energy to sustain the formation!
He buried everyone, providing them a place of rest, while each person transformed into spiritual energy nourishment to aid his revenge!
Just like the Spirit Gathering Array prepared by the previous life of Luo Shen for her reincarnation during the Immortal Trial, this was also the preparation Shi Guitian had laid out for his revenge today!
However, the Luo Shen of back then had only prepared for tens of thousands of years, while Shi Guitian had continuously buried corpses and erected tombstones for a full hundred thousand years!
These hundred thousand years of effort were all for this very moment!
"Since Old Shi has made up his mind, then he is handed over to you."
"You may simply do your utmost."
"Leave the rest to This Lord."
Ning Yechen revealed a light smile to Shi Guitian, giving him not only permission to take action within the Demon Sovereign Great Hall but also encouragement to let go of everything.
Even if he ultimately gave his all and the result of his hundred thousand years of effort failed to successfully defeat Mo Di, he would take action to complete his unfulfilled wish!
Shi Guitian also understood the meaning in Ning Yechen's words and nodded to him with great gratitude.
He knew very well in his heart that even if he failed, with Lord Demon Lord’s strength, he could definitely help him take revenge!
As a result, he no longer had any misgivings!
"Grandpa Shi...?"
Luo Hongye, lying in Luo Ruying’s arms, looked at the Shi Guitian who had suddenly undergone a 180-degree transformation and called out softly with big eyes full of confusion.
Hearing this soft and tender call, the icy killing intent on Shi Guitian’s body subsided in an instant as his gaze turned toward Luo Hongye.
Previously, he hadn't dared to let anyone see his ugly and hideous face, fearing even more that he would scare Luo Hongye.
Now that he had returned to his peak and youth, he finally dared to face the Little Princess with his true appearance.
Looking at Luo Hongye’s innocent and lively lovely face, Shi Guitian couldn't help but reveal an incomparably gentle and loving smile.
Back then, his daughter was also this cute and charming...
Every time he saw Luo Hongye, he couldn't help but recall her...
Having failed to protect his wife and daughter back then had become the regret of his life; now, at the very least, he would never allow the Little Princess to fall into Mo Di’s hands!
"Mo Di! The hatred from four hundred thousand years ago—it is time to settle it!"
"Four hundred thousand years ago, you killed my wife and daughter before my eyes!"
"Today, don't even think about touching a single hair on the Little Princess!"
"I will rot your entire body bit by bit and let you die in the most agonizing and desperate state!"
Shi Guitian turned around and walked step by step toward Mo Di, who stood on the dais of the hall, speaking of the hatred he had held for him over the long years in the coldest of words.
With every step he took, the ground around him decayed and weathered at an extremely fast pace, rapidly spreading in all directions!
The terrifying miasma, which seemed as if it would corrode everything, forced everyone in the hall to retreat outside.
Today, between the two of them, one must die!
