Fortunately, the space around Xiang Shaoyun and Chi Duo had been sealed by Chi Duo with his God Realm energy. Thus, the surrounding devils were unaware of what was happening inside. No Devil Gods were coming over as well. After all, those at their level would not tolerate anyone interfering in their battles. Because of that, no devil was aware that Chi Duo had fallen under Xiang Shaoyun’s control.
Xiang Shaoyun nearly exhausted every last bit of energy he had trying to place Chi Duo under his control. With his current strength, fighting against a second-stage Devil God was extremely exhausting. Without the Yin Mother Sword and the nine-colored lotus soul foundation, he wouldn’t even be able to contend against this opponent.
After resting for about half a day, Xiang Shaoyun had recovered considerably. Chi Duo, who was nearly dead earlier, had recovered even faster than Xiang Shaoyun. One ought to admit that the recovery speed of Gods was monstrous.
Xiang Shaoyun looked at Chi Duo in a satisfied manner and said, “Go look for Devil Gods with similar strength and lure them over. Your master is going to put them under control as well.”
A plan had formed in Xiang Shaoyun’s mind. He aimed to take control over an entire army of devils himself. So long as he could put three Devil Gods and some Devil Saints under his control, he could not only interrupt the Diabolic Dragon Clan’s invasion but also make use of them to deal with other devils and alien invaders.
Xiang Shaoyun immediately carried out the plan the moment it formed in his mind. After Chi Duo fully recovered, he was sent away to lure over other Devil Gods. Xiang Shaoyun would then think of a way to put the lured devil under his control.
Xiang Shaoyun also reminded Chi Duo not to look for those stronger than him. He could only look for those with similar strength or were slightly weaker, as Xiang Shaoyun wouldn’t have any confidence against other opponents otherwise.
Xiang Shaoyun then lay in wait for Chi Duo to return with a Devil God. Before long, Chi Duo came back with a first-stage Devil God six-armed gold ape devil. The six-armed gold ape devil was massive, with long and strong arms. His entire body was covered with spiky golden hair, making him look incredibly valiant. Every step he took, the ground would shake, and his very person would radiate a sense of power.
“Chi Duo, what are we doing here? I still need to go kill more humans,” asked the six-armed gold ape devil loudly.
“The prince had just died. Now is not the time to attack the humans,” said Chi Duo. “I need to talk with you about our next step.”
As he stepped closer to the six-armed gold ape devil, he abruptly attacked the six-armed gold ape devil’s heart. The six-armed gold ape devil had not expected an attack from Chi Duo. Before he could even put up any defenses, his heart was penetrated.
Roar!
With a roar, the six-armed gold ape devil tackled Chi Duo. Those at their cultivation level wouldn’t die so easily. Even an injury to the heart was only a heavy injury for them. Unless their devil core was destroyed, they wouldn’t die from one hit.
The moment Chi Duo attacked, Xiang Shaoyun moved as well. He spread his Imperial Nether Domain out and enveloped both Chi Duo and the six-armed gold ape devil, isolating them from the surrounding world.
Xiang Shaoyun’s Imperial Nether Domain was incredibly powerful. With his soul being at the pseudo-God Realm and his Imperial Nether Domain’s suppressive effect, the six-armed gold ape devil would not be able to escape.
As Chi Duo was stronger than the six-armed gold ape devil in the first place, the six-armed gold ape devil was already having a hard time against Chi Duo. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun’s move caught him by complete surprise.
“Chi Duo! You’re an Imperial Nether Clan spy!” roared the six-armed gold ape devil indignantly.
He wanted to escape, but the Imperial Nether Domain’s suppressive effect was too strong, causing him to be greatly weakened. Despite having a physical body as strong as a god-grade weapon, he was helpless against Chi Duo and Xiang Shaoyun. Before long, he collapsed onto the ground with heavy injuries.
Next, Xiang Shaoyun applied the Nether Dragon Soul Curse to the six-armed gold ape devil. And just like that, a first-stage Devil God was turned into his underling. Xiang Shaoyun waited until the six-armed gold ape devil was all healed up before sending the six-armed gold ape devil and Chi Duo out to lure over more Devil Gods.
Before long, a two-headed lion devil slightly stronger than Chi Duo was brought over. The two-headed lion devil was extremely strong. Even when trapped within the Imperial Nether Domain, he was able to engage Chi Duo and the six-armed gold ape devil in an intense battle. Ultimately, even Xiang Shaoyun was forced to use his Yin Mother Sword and nine-colored lotus soul foundation before they could take the two-headed lion devil down.
After putting the two-headed lion devil under his control, Xiang Shaoyun stopped luring more Devil Gods over because the other Devil Gods seemed to have sensed that something weird was going on. Moreover, the other Devil Gods were much stronger, and it would be very troublesome to act against them.
Xiang Shaoyun then spent some time hiding silently while the three Devil Gods were sent out to observe the devils. He discovered that a large number of diabolic dragon devils were heading over, trying to use this entrance as their way into the dominion.
After Xiang Shaoyun received this information, his expression turned solemn. The four Bloodsin Cities were protected by numerous experts. This was the only entrance unprotected by a fortress. Furthermore, this entrance had a rather low number of experts watching over it. It would present an excellent opening for the devils to invade the dominion.
Fortunately, after Xiang Shaoyun exposed himself as an imperial nether devil, the diabolic dragon devils had been busy trying to find out what the Imperial Nether Clan was trying to do. Only then would they be able to fully focus on invading the dominion.
After all, if the Imperial Nether Clan were to stab them in their back while they were invading the dominion, things would become troublesome. Thus, there was still some time before the Diabolic Dragon Clan actually started their invasion. This was the buffer time for the humans.
Looks like I need to let the humans know about this, or the dominion will be in trouble, thought Xiang Shaoyun.
Instead of leaving the Devil Domain immediately, he had the three Devil Gods bring sixteen Devil Saints over. After putting all sixteen under his control, he took all of them into his astral cosmos sea, preparing to leave with them.
As Xiang Shaoyun’s astral cosmos sea had turned corporeal, it could now contain everything in existence. Thus, he wouldn’t have any issues carrying around three Devil Gods and sixteen Devil Saints with him.
But immediately after he took them all into his astral cosmos sea, a fourth-stage Devil God noticed something wrong going on at Xiang Shaoyun’s hiding place. The devil channeled his energy into the bone mirror he was holding in his hand, causing the mirror to shine brightly upon its surroundings. Everything that was hidden was revealed.
“Shit!” Xiang Shaoyun cursed as all his hair stood on end. He started dashing toward the entrance as fast as he could.
