178: Quasi-saint Suzaku VS the protector!

In the Central Region of the Immortal Realm, in front of a Secret Realm entrance.

On this day, an uninvited guest arrived here.

Big Black Dog!

"This Gou Ye is back again!"

"I wonder if these brats still remember Gou Ye?"

After howling up at the sky, the Big Black Dog muttered to himself.

The next moment... the Big Black Dog was stunned!

In an instant, powerful figures appeared all around him.

Without exception, these figures were Devouring Sky Dogs.

And they all looked at the Big Black Dog with hostility in their eyes.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"What do you mean? Have you forgotten Gou Ye?"

"You brats, are you looking for a beating?"

Looking around, the Big Black Dog yelled out in dissatisfaction.

"Hehe!"

"Of course, we haven't forgotten you."

"It's just that after so much time, things have changed beyond recognition."

Not far away, a strange, sarcastic voice suddenly rang out.

"Hmm?"

"What do you mean?"

Raising an eyebrow, the Big Black Dog subconsciously asked.

Then, he looked towards the source of the voice.

He saw a Black-Robed Man, wearing a black robe and a black bamboo hat, slowly stepping through the air.

"What do I mean?"

"Do you still not understand?"

"Your era has passed."

"Now, I am the Divine Son of the Sky Swallowing Dog Clan!"

Looking at the Big Black Dog, the Black-Robed Man cackled.

"Is this what they mean?"

With a cold snort, the Big Black Dog's eyes suddenly became incredibly cold.

"They?"

"Are you talking about your former backers?"

"What a pity!"

"Those old geezers went missing not long after you entered Nirvana."

"They might be dead, or they might have gone to the Divine Realm."

"Now, there are no high-ranking members in the clan who support you. Hahahaha!"

Looking at the Big Black Dog, the Black-Robed Man laughed wildly.

Hearing the Black-Robed Man's words, the Big Black Dog couldn't help but frown.

His mood also unconsciously became a little heavy.

"I see."

With a cold snort, the Big Black Dog said chillingly.

After speaking, he was about to turn and fly away.

"Are you leaving now?"

"Did I allow you to leave?"

"If you don't die, I really can't rest easy!"

Looking at the Big Black Dog, the Black-Robed Man said menacingly.

Hearing the Black-Robed Man's words, a terrifying Killing Intent erupted from the Big Black Dog.

At this moment, he was completely enraged.

"You're going too far. Since you're looking for death, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Remember, this Gou Ye used to be your nightmare, and he still is!"

Angrily roaring, streaks of strange blood-red light erupted from the Big Black Dog.

In an instant, the Devouring Sky Dogs surrounding him all turned into a rain of blood.

Even the Black-Robed Man was severely injured and fell to the ground.

Then, the Big Black Dog swaggered away.

Not long after he left, powerful figures appeared all around.

"Damn it! That guy is back? Why is he still so powerful?"

"What exactly is going on?"

"We must find him, otherwise, if he recovers to his Peak, we will only have a dead end."

"Who told you to be so impulsive? Who told you to show off? Idiot!"

"If we let him enter our clan territory, wouldn't he be doomed?"

"What exactly were you thinking?"

"..."

On the other side, the Big Black Dog continued on his way, spitting blood.

At this moment, blood was flowing from his seven orifices.

"This Gou Ye needs to find Tang Tian soon, otherwise, Gou Ye will be finished!"

"..."

...On the other side, Tang Tian and his group didn't stay long and continued their journey.

The danger that the Golden Dragon spoke of did not arrive.

However, the further they went, the more Tang Tian and his group felt that something was wrong.

They also sensed danger!

"Tang Tian, what do you think is going on?"

Turning to look at Tang Tian, Murong Xianer asked.

"I don't know either."

Shaking his head lightly, Tang Tian replied.

"Hmm?"

The next moment, everyone simultaneously looked in one direction.

They saw a bloodied figure fall out of a spatial rift.

Looking at this figure, Tang Tian's expression changed slightly.

The next moment, he flew to the front of this figure.

"Big Black Dog?"

Examining the figure in front of him, Tang Tian couldn't help but frown.

"It seems the heavens don't want me to perish!"

"Brother Tian, save me..."

Opening his eyes to look at Tang Tian, the Big Black Dog struggled to open his mouth and grinned.

"..."

While speechless, Tang Tian still cast the Great Dao of Life on the Big Black Dog.

In an instant, the Big Black Dog's injuries healed at a visible rate.

However, Tang Tian's Immortal Power was also instantly emptied.

"Devouring Sky Dog?"

Coming to Tang Tian's side, Murong Xianer had a look of awe.

Beside them, Jiang Junlin and the Golden Dragon also had wide eyes.

Unconsciously, the three of them thought of what Tang Tian had said not long ago.

This guy really has a Devouring Sky Dog as a little brother?

Wait!

That is to say, the Qilin and Taotie mounts are also real?

Hiss!

How truly terrifying!

Not long after, the Big Black Dog stood up, full of life.

"Brother Tian, thank you."

Looking at Tang Tian, the Big Black Dog said gratefully.

"No need to be polite!"

"How is the Lower Realm doing now?"

"Also, why are you in such a sorry state now?"

Waving his hand, Tang Tian asked with a frown.

"Everything is well in the Lower Realm."

"Everyone hasn't Ascended yet! They're all waiting for your arrangements."

"As for me? Because my Nirvana period ended, my strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and I had no choice but to Ascend, but I didn't expect..."

Taking a deep breath, the Big Black Dog slowly said.

After hearing this, Tang Tian and the other three couldn't help but stare at each other.

The four of them really didn't expect that the Big Black Dog's miserable state was actually because of the Sky Swallowing Dog Clan?

Something happened to their clan?

"Your current strength is not weak, yet you're in such a miserable state?"

Breaking the silence, the Golden Dragon looked at the Big Black Dog and asked with a puzzled expression.

Tang Tian and the other two also nodded in agreement.

Now, the Big Black Dog was at the Late Stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.

Such strength could be considered a powerhouse anywhere in the Immortal Realm, right?

After all, existences above Quasi-Saint were inherently few and far between.

Moreover, they rarely walked among mortals?

Of course, this 'few and far between' was in comparison to the vast number of Cultivators.

"Do you think the other members of the Sky Swallowing Dog Clan are weak?"

Rolling his eyes, the Big Black Dog retorted gruffly.

"..."

Immediately, the Golden Dragon was speechless.

The Sky Swallowing Dog Clan was certainly not weak!

They were one of the top races in the Immortal Realm!

"So what are your plans next?"

Glancing at the Big Black Dog, Tang Tian casually asked.

"Of course, I'm following Brother Tian!"

"Once I have enough strength, I will definitely get my revenge on them."

Without any hesitation, the Big Black Dog blurted out.

Tang Tian wasn't surprised by the Big Black Dog's words.

Murong Xianer and the others, however, were a little slow to react.

A Late Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal powerhouse, voluntarily following Tang Tian (Young Master)?

Tsk tsk!

Taking a deep look at the Big Black Dog, Tang Tian nodded lightly.

In fact, Tang Tian was very clear in his heart.

Whether it was Taotie, Qilin, or this Big Black Dog.

The reason they were willing to follow him was all because of Yiyi?

One could only say that Yiyi's background was incredibly astonishing!

It seemed that the beautiful women around him each had a more astonishing background than the last!

"Big Black Dog, why don't you transform into human form?"

After thinking for a moment, Tang Tian asked again.

"Transform into human form? Why should I transform into human form?"

"I really like my original form!"

Without any hesitation, the Big Black Dog said decisively.

A proud expression also appeared on his Face.

Hearing the Big Black Dog's words and seeing his expression, Tang Tian couldn't help but laugh wryly.

This guy really was a Genius!

"But, Brother Tian, aren't you too ruthless?"

"To actually come to the Land of Chaos here?"

Looking around, the Big Black Dog exclaimed in wonder.

"Is there a problem?"

Stunned, Tang Tian asked in return.

"There's no problem, per se."

"It's just..."

"The Land of Chaos here is even more terrifying than rumored."

"Otherwise, why, after so much time, have no top powerhouses been able to conquer or destroy this place?"

Shaking his head, the Big Black Dog said nonchalantly.

"Hmm?"

"You know a lot about the Land of Chaos here?"

Raising an eyebrow, Tang Tian asked with curiosity.

The others also looked at the Big Black Dog simultaneously.

"I know a little."

Grinning, the Big Black Dog slowly said.

"Presumably, that person suggested you come here, right?"

Then, the Big Black Dog asked again.

"Indeed."

Nodding, Tang Tian had no intention of denying it.

He understood that the Big Black Dog was referring to Luo Yiyi.

Murong Xianer and the other two, however, were stunned.

That person?

What kind of riddle were the Big Black Dog and Tang Tian playing?

How strange!

"If that's the case, then there's no problem."

After a moment of silence, the Big Black Dog said.

"..."

Besides being speechless, what else could Tang Tian say?

Then, everyone tacitly changed the subject.

And then, they continued on their way.

After traveling another few tens of miles, everyone finally encountered the figures of Cultivators.

At this point, they had already penetrated almost a hundred miles into the Land of Chaos.

Only then did an endless ancient forest appear all around them.

At the edge of the forest, there was a small town.

Seeing the Cultivators in the town, Tang Tian's pupils suddenly contracted.

Looking around, Golden Immortal Cultivators were actually everywhere?

There were also some Taiyi Golden Immortal Cultivators.

They could even see the figures of Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivators.

Without exception, these Cultivators of different races all had extremely fierce auras.

Perhaps due to years of constant slaughter, they all carried a powerful aura of killing.

Or rather, Killing Intent.

Are you kidding me?

This was just the edge of the Land of Chaos!

The arrival of Tang Tian and his group immediately attracted the attention of the Cultivators in the town.

In fact, a group of people immediately surrounded Tang Tian and the others.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a ferocious Face.

A Late Stage Taiyi Golden Immortal Cultivator!

He looked at Murong Xianer with greedy eyes!

As for Tang Tian and the others, they were completely ignored.

The others were the same.

“I never thought such a beautiful lass would come to the Land of Chaos.”

“Little girl, follow this Lord!”

“As for the others, kill them all!”

Looking at Murong Xianer, and then at Tang Tian and his group, the middle-aged man said casually.

After speaking, he couldn't help but burst into maniacal laughter.

“What are you two standing there for?”

“Do I still need to teach you how to do it?”

Tang Tian glared at Golden Dragon and Big Black Dog, saying impatiently.

“Understood!”

Without any unnecessary words, one man and one dog attacked swiftly.

In an instant, more than ten people around them were all decapitated.

As for the middle-aged man, he was even crushed into pieces by a palm strike from Golden Dragon.

One man and one dog, with tacit understanding, handed a pile of Storage Pouches to Tang Tian.

Seeing this, Murong Xianer's lips curved into a smile.

Jiang Junlin, on the other hand, was already used to it.

However, the other Cultivators in the town all had their pupils constrict sharply.

They never dreamed that it would end this way.

Cultivators at the Golden Immortal Realm and Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm Late Stage were instantly killed?

Just how strong were this old man whose strength they couldn't see through, and this Big Black Dog?

Hiss!

Suddenly, they began to understand why Tang Tian and his group dared to enter the Land of Chaos.

It turned out that they were not ordinary people who would cross the river lightly!

Tsk tsk tsk!

Tang Tian was not interested in what they thought.

In a blink of an eye, the group swaggered into the town.

Then, an interesting scene occurred.

Most of the Cultivators around them subconsciously chose to retreat or leave.

Evidently, they were all unwilling to provoke Tang Tian and his group.

“Do these guys have to be so cowardly?”

“They’re really disgracing the Land of Chaos!”

Big Black Dog pouted and mumbled in dissatisfaction.

Hearing Big Black Dog's words, many Cultivators around them twitched their mouths fiercely.

Yet, they truly dared not flare up.

No choice!

They couldn't afford to provoke this Big Black Dog!

Offending him would bring no benefits.

Moreover, there were one or two sharp-eyed Cultivators who recognized Big Black Dog's origin.

Upon recognizing Big Black Dog's origin, their hearts were greatly shaken.

Devouring Sky Dog?

Why would a fellow from this race come here?

How strange!

What made them even more incredulous was that they could tell that everyone in Tang Tian's group looked to Tang Tian as their leader.

What was the origin of this handsome Young Master who seemed to be powerless?

“Young Master…”

As Tang Tian and his group sat down at a table in the town's inn, an ordinary-looking Old Daoist walked towards him.

“Something wrong?”

Tang Tian glanced at the other party and asked casually.

A flicker of surprise also passed through his eyes.

The opponent's strength was actually Daluo Golden Immortal Realm Late Stage?

Good heavens!

The Land of Chaos truly had hidden talents!

Tang Tian secretly mused in his heart.

“I wonder if you would be willing to part with this Big Black Dog and sell it to this humble Taoist Priest?”

“The price is negotiable!”

The Old Daoist asked, looking at Big Black Dog with fervent eyes.

Immediately, Tang Tian was amused.

Golden Dragon, Jiang Junlin, and Murong Xianer also showed amused expressions.

Big Black Dog, however, had a gloomy Face.

“Old miscellaneous fellow, are you looking for death?”

Big Black Dog asked through gritted teeth, looking at the Old Daoist coldly.

“What?”

“Do you really think this humble Taoist Priest is a pushover?”

Hearing Big Black Dog's words, an unfriendly expression also appeared on the Old Daoist's Face.

Seeing this, the Cultivators around them all wore expressions of enjoying the show.

However, they only watched from a distance.

Joining the fun?

They didn't have that courage!

After all, anyone with eyes could see.

Both sides were ruthless characters!

They couldn't afford to provoke them!

Without much further ado, Big Black Dog and the Old Daoist immediately began to fight.

They both flew into the sky.

Tang Tian had a calm expression regarding this.

He was very clear about Big Black Dog's personality.

Wasn't it normal for this fellow to react this way?

Essentially, Big Black Dog was a proud individual.

Now that someone was treating it like merchandise, it would be strange if it didn't get angry!

Not long after, the fight between one man and one dog came to an abrupt halt.

It could only be said that Big Black Dog was even more ferocious.

See?

That Old Daoist was directly swallowed by this fellow.

Seeing this, the entire town became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

Aside from Tang Tian and his group, everyone else looked at Big Black Dog with awe and terror.

“Brother Tian, how was it? Wasn't I amazing?”

Returning to his seat, Big Black Dog asked casually.

“Indeed amazing!”

Tang Tian nodded and gave a thumbs up.

“However, that old miscellaneous fellow just now was probably not simple in origin!”

Afterward, Tang Tian said thoughtfully.

“I know.”

“So what?”

“The worst that can happen is we run away, right?”

Big Black Dog shook his head, a look of indifference on his Face.

Tang Tian paused, then nodded gently.

Big Black Dog's words were very much to his liking.

After eating and drinking their fill, the group continued their journey.

It wasn't until Tang Tian and his group had left for a while that the surrounding Cultivators began to discuss amongst themselves.

“What do you think are the origins of these guys? Why did they come to the Land of Chaos?”

“I don't know! I guess their origins are definitely not simple, right?”

“Isn't that obvious?”

“If their origins were simple, would they possess such powerful strength?”

“It's a pity for those two guys! They were ruthless characters who intimidated the nearby area, and they just died like that.”

“Isn't that normal? Anyone who dares to come to the Land of Chaos should view life and death lightly!”

“…”

Tang Tian and his group were unaware of the discussions among the town's Cultivators.

At this moment, Golden Dragon had already transformed into its true form, carrying everyone as they continued to advance rapidly into the Land of Chaos.

However, when they arrived in front of a volcanic area, it unconsciously landed on the ground.

“Master, the danger I sensed should be coming from here.”

Golden Dragon said with a grave look in his eyes, turning to look at Tang Tian.

Similarly, Big Black Dog also looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

“I know.”

Tang Tian nodded gently, not reacting much.

The group looked tacitly towards one of the volcanic craters.

“I never would have thought!”

“A Five-Clawed Golden Dragon? A Devouring Sky Dog? Actually following a Human Race young man?”

“Is the world too crazy? Or am I, this old man, too old? Tsk tsk tsk!”

Before long, a voice of wonder and amazement came from the volcanic crater.

Soon, a figure soared into the air and flew in front of everyone.

Seeing the massive figure covered in flames before them, Tang Tian and the others were all filled with shock.

Vermilion Bird!

Before their eyes, it was actually a giant Vermilion Bird!

Its strength seemed to be at the Quasi-Saint level.

At this moment, even Tang Tian, who was usually calm, began to doubt his life a little.

This?

What was going on?

Wasn't this supposed to be the outer region of the Land of Chaos?

Why would such a powerful existence be here?

Similarly, Murong Xianer and the others also had the same thought.

Murong Xianer, by Tang Tian's side, had, at some unknown point, tightly gripped a token in her hand.

Clearly, she was preparing to seek help from her Dao Protector.

“Don't be nervous!”

“This old man has no intention of being enemies with you all!”

The Vermilion Bird glanced at Tang Tian and the others, then continued.

“Then what is this about?”

Tang Tian looked up at the Vermilion Bird in mid-air and asked, not without puzzlement.

The others also looked at the Vermilion Bird in confusion.

“This old man wants to ask you something!”

“Young man, do you possess a Heavenly Fire?”

The Vermilion Bird asked with fervent eyes, staring at Tang Tian's Face.

“What if I do? What if I don't?”

Tang Tian paused, then answered with a question.

Hearing Tang Tian's words, everyone except Big Black Dog broke out in a cold sweat.

This Vermilion Bird before them was a Quasi-Saint expert!

Could you, old man, be a little more polite?

“Hand over the Heavenly Fire, and this old man can spare your lives.”

“Otherwise, you will all die.”

Only now did the Vermilion Bird finally reveal its true intentions.

Immediately, its terrifying Qi surged, directly locking onto Tang Tian and the others.

“How arrogant!”

“This old woman is truly enlightened!”

“Who do you intend to make die?”

Suddenly, a cold laugh echoed from a distance.

Hearing this voice, the Vermilion Bird's pupils couldn't help but contract slightly.

Murong Xianer, on the other hand, was filled with pleasant surprise.

“Tang Tian, we are safe.”

Murong Xianer said with a sweet smile.

Tang Tian paused slightly, then nodded gently.

In an instant, he reacted.

The owner of this voice should be Xian'er's Dao Protector, right?

As Tang Tian was pondering, a figure appeared in front of the Vermilion Bird.

It was an old figure dressed in a long, emerald green robe!

“Someone from the Alchemist Guild?”

“What? Are your hands reaching too far? This is the Land of Chaos.”

The Vermilion Bird said with a fake smile, looking at the figure before him.

“Out of respect for the Vermillion Bird Clan's Face, this old woman can spare your life.”

“Otherwise, you can be on your way!”

However, the old figure remained unmoved.

Hearing the old figure's words, a dark, flickering light appeared in the Vermilion Bird's eyes.

Nevertheless, in the end, it flew away.

It wasn't until it had been gone for quite a while that the old figure turned to look at Murong Xianer and Tang Tian.

“Your Highness, you have been away from headquarters for a long time, shouldn't you return?”

“Tang Tian, I wonder if you are interested in joining our Alchemist Guild?”

The old figure looked at Murong Xianer with doting eyes, then chuckled as she looked at Tang Tian.

However, when she looked at Tang Tian, her eyes couldn't help but become a little complex.
