1365 The Battle of Demigods

God was a complicated and confusing term. Different from the True Immortal Realm, it was a supreme realm that was freed from the shackles and constraints of the Great Path, a realm beyond the realm of human beings.

Had Di Ting become a God? If it were true, there would be no one in the whole Netherworld who could resist him. The fact that Tian Cang couldn't block even one stroke from him showed that perhaps he had really become… a legend.

The God's Heart had an unspeakable use for Di Ting. He had left it to Nether Puppeteer Patriarch in the hope that she would protect it and use its power to cultivate. He never thought that anyone in the Netherworld could take it away from her. That was why he came to Earth Prison. He couldn't afford to lose it. He had to get it back.

He locked his divine sense on Whitey, ignoring Bu Fang and Nethery, even though both of them had extraordinary identities. The former was the inheritor of that man, while the latter was the only Cursed Goddess in every age, but they had not yet grown up. What really caught his attention was Whitey, the one who had stolen the God's Heart.

A dog paw rushed out of the black fog and instantly attracted everyone's attention. Its appearance seemed to darken heaven and earth. At the same time, the people present felt a huge pressure on them, which made them involuntarily lie prone on the ground. 

Boom! 

Powerful blasts followed, sweeping out in all directions and smashing Er Ha and the others.

Whitey looked up, its mechanical eyes flashing. The moment Di Ting's paw came at it, it stood up and spread the metal wings on its back. The wings looked sorry, however, full of holes and cracks. Obviously, after being crazily attacked by Nether Puppeteer Patriarch, Whitey had been badly damaged.

With a flap of the wings, Whitey flew up and shot into the sky like a shooting star, and in a split second, it was far away. It tried to dodge Di Ting's paw. Yet, the paw seemed to cover the whole world. No matter how far it flew, it could not escape its reach. This trick was somewhat similar to the West Little Buddhism Realm's Buddhist Kingdom in a Palm.

"You've swallowed my God's Heart, so you can't run away from me…" Di Ting's indifferent voice resounded through the sky.

All the onlookers were silent. They could only watch as Di Ting's dog paw fell.

Just as Bu Fang was about to crush the liquid drop, the invisible vortex in the Black Temple suddenly stopped rotating. The next moment, a black object slowly reached out from it. It was a small black dog paw. In the blink of an eye, it emerged from the Black Temple and collided with Di Ting's paw.

They were both dog paws. Di Ting's paw was yellowish-white, but his claws were slightly shorter and appeared more petite. In contrast, the black paw was more majestic.

As the crowd watched with strange looks in their eyes, the two dog paws collided without fancy moves. It was the scariest collision they had ever seen.

With a loud explosion, Whitey was thrown away by powerful blasts. Its body bounced across the ground like a ball before smashing into a pit in the distance. Looking up in confusion, it scratched its head with a big hand.

"Hmm?"

In the sky, Di Ting, wrapped in black mists, was surprised. He had not been paying attention to Earth Prison Dog, who was breaking through in the Black Temple, so he did not expect the dog to attack at this moment.

Without hesitation, he released his divine sense and sent it into the Black Temple. He wanted to find out what was going on inside. He knew Earth Prison Dog was also breaking through that realm. As someone who was experienced in the matter, he knew very well that once the breakthrough was interrupted, it basically meant that it had failed. And if Earth Prison Dog wanted to regain the feeling of breakthrough, he would need to wait for the chance to come.

The Black Temple seemed to be enveloped in a mist. Di Ting's divine sense reached out to it, but it was immediately bounced back by some force.

"What?" His expression changed. Of course, no one could see that.

At this moment, a gentle voice came out of the building, "How dare you bully Lord Dog's people while Lord Dog is not around? Do you really think Lord Dog can be easily bullied?"

Ripples of powerful energy surged and spread out of the Black Temple, then they parted in the middle. A few moments later, a figure walked out of it with enchanting cat-like steps. It was a black dog with spotless and shining black hair.

His appearance instantly caught everyone's eye.

"Earth Prison Dog?!"

"He's out of his seclusion?"

The faces of the Nether Prison Great Saints all changed dramatically. It never occurred to them that Earth Prison Dog would leave the seclusion so soon. Wasn't he trying to break through that supreme realm just like Di Ting? And why were both of them out now?

They were not surprised by Di Ting leaving his seclusion. After all, he had been in a breakthrough state for almost hundreds of years. However, it was said that this Earth Prison Dog had just stepped into the breakthrough a few days ago…

"You want to stop me?" Di Ting's eyes gleamed in the black fog.

The next moment, he moved. As he stepped forward with his short legs, he disappeared, and when he appeared again, he was already in front of Whitey.

Rumble! 

Whitey felt it was being hit by a tremendous force, and it immediately rose to the sky. Even then, a white dog paw slowly thrust toward it, looking like it was going to punch through its chest and pull out the God's Heart inside.

Lord Dog's figure vanished at that moment. When he reappeared, he raised his black dog paw and smashed it at the white dog paw. 

Boom! 

Powerful blasts exploded from the center of collision and swept out in all directions, destroying everything along the way.

The black fog shrouding Di Ting finally dispersed and revealed his appearance. Lord Dog's figure also became clearer at this moment. In midair, the paw of a striped yellow-and-white short-legged dog collided with Lord Dog's paw, and terrible energy burst forth from them, causing the ground to break and collapse.

At last, everyone got a good look at Di Ting. For a moment, they all stared in disbelief. A dog? Di Ting was also a dog? Although his legs were relatively short, he was still a dog! Moreover, he looked so cute that it was hard for them to associate his ferocity with his appearance! 

The clash between the two dogs caused everyone's jaws to drop and left them speechless. Was this a battle between the strongest dog of Nether Prison and the strongest dog of Earth Prison?

Lord Dog opened his mouth and let out a bark. Di Ting's fluffy hair fluttered in the wind as he also barked. Their voices seemed to turn into energy, which instantly impacted one another and produced a big explosion!

Buzz… 

A white and a black figure flew backward at the same time, their auras crushing the void. At this moment, scattered turbulence filled the sky over the Black Temple.

Rumble! 

Suddenly, a horrible pressure emanated from Di Ting, and he barked fiercer and fiercer. Then, his short little legs began to move in the air, bringing him up into the battlefield of the stars.

Lord Dog focused his eyes and stepped into the battlefield as well with his graceful cat-like steps.

The two dogs had entered the battlefield of the stars as if they had agreed to fight there.

The battle broke out instantly. Dog barks as loud as a dragon's roar filled the air, while dog paws as huge as mountains and two figures—one black and one white—constantly collided with each other and moved at high speed in the battlefield of the stars. Each of their collisions produced a deafening rumble and deadly energy ripples, which caused broken stars to crumble and meteorites to crack. A battle of this level was unseen or unheard of. Although it was only between two dogs, the blasts and terrible noises they had caused silenced everyone.

Bu Fang hovered in midair, looking at the battlefield of the stars. This was a very important battle, even more important than the one between Tian Cang and Nether Puppeteer Patriarch. He could see from their exchanges that they were at the same level, a level that was beyond Tian Cang's.

Meanwhile, the whole Netherworld was shocked. Many people thought that Di Ting had entered that supreme realm, and yet Earth Prison Dog was able to fight a close match with him. Had he also stepped into that supreme realm? Had what the human beings of the Netherworld could not accomplish in tens of thousands of years been achieved by these two dogs?

Many people's faces were strange as they watched the two dogs fight.

Tian Cang flew over and hovered beside Bu Fang. His chest was pierced by Di Ting's dog paw. However, the injury did not affect him. After all, his body was just a puppet, and Nether Puppeteer Patriarch made it out of a kind of magical material, so he was actually slowly recovering.

"Have they transcended the Great Saint Realm?" Bu Fang asked.

Of all the people present, Tian Cang was probably the only one who knew the current realm of Di Ting and Lord Dog, apart from the System and Artifact Spirits inside him.

"You can say they have, but you can also say they haven't. The so-called transcendence is not that simple. But we can call them Transcended Great Saints now," Tian Cang said.

He once touched the edge of that realm, but he chose to assemble an army to attack Nether Prison without even trying. Unfortunately, he died in that war, and he also lost the qualification to break through that realm. In any case, apart from the two dogs, he was indeed the one who knew that realm best. 

"We can call them Transcended Great Saints, and the existences of that realm are generally called Demigods." Tian Cang took a deep breath as his face became solemn.

Demigod meant being half a step away from becoming a God. Even the weakest God was a God. They were invincible beings and had different life sources from human beings.

"Demigod…" Bu Fang's eyes narrowed slightly. He remembered that the Black Turtle, in shock, had called Di Ting a Demigod. It seemed that this was the realm above the Great Saint Realm.

"They dare not fight with all their might in Earth Prison because their Demigod power will destroy everything here," Tian Cang added.

Boom! 

In the battlefield of the stars, the battle between Lord Dog and Di Ting became more and more intense. Their paws kept colliding with each other while they moved back and forth at high speed. The power of their collisions shocked everyone because every blast and energy ejected from them was strong enough to tear up a Nine-revolution Great Saint!

"Are you really going to stop me?!" Di Ting's eyes gradually turned red, and his aura became more and more violent. With a bark, he began to transform. His body swelled up, and the appearance of various beasts flashed over him. At the same time, a mysterious power turned into a river and swirled around him.

On the other hand, Lord Dog's chubby body had also grown as huge as a mountain. His eyes were red, and two extra heads now appeared on his neck! The three heads opened their mouths at the same time and let out three deafening barks!

This was an unprecedented clash of Demigods between the frenzied Di Ting and the three-headed Earth Prison Dog!
