Chapter 741 Stop Playing Tricks and Come Out
Hui Hun froze in shock and instinctively looked to the sky.
The monster cultivators of the Blood God Monster Court had the same thought. They all lifted their heads toward the firmament.
Who?
Who was speaking?
Could it be the new Saint of the human race?
Some of the monsters immediately showed delight.
"There is hope. We have hope!"
"The Saint has come to save us! I knew the Saint would not abandon us!"
"Before the demons, the myriad races should unite!"
Xiang Gu, Hu Qing, and the other monster supremes also looked hopeful.
Only the Saint Realm can contend with the Saint Realm.
Hui Hun reversed his palm to draw out a strand of demonic qi, his gaze dark.
"Who! Stop playing tricks! Come out!"
A faint laugh sounded.
Then a figure shrouded in boundless radiance stepped out, walking on air. In the blink of an eye he walked out of the heavens and appeared before the demon race.
Ah!
Screams rang out one after another.
The light around him was like a blazing sun.
It burned the demons madly.
Some lesser demons of low cultivation even ignited at once, turning to ash in moments.
Under this blazing sun.
In only one hundred breaths, the demon ranks collapsed. They had no choice but to cower within the demonic qi exuded by Hui Hun to barely escape.
Hui Hun's eyes split with rage.
These demons were all his direct subordinates.
In a mere instant, more than three quarters had been killed or wounded!
"Damnable thing—die!"
Hui Hun roared. His demonic qi condensed into a terrifying jagged giant hand that clawed toward the sun-wreathed figure.
However—
Before the demonic hand could fall—
A bone-searing burn swept over.
Even Hui Hun felt agony that pierced to the marrow.
Before the hand descended, nine-tenths of its power had already vanished.
The remaining tenth was like a mere sprinkle of water—unworthy of mention.
"What pain is this!"
"Could this person be a Saint who has comprehended the Dao of Fire?"
Hui Hun was shocked and enraged.
Xiang Gu, Hu Qing, and the other monster supremes were dumbstruck.
What was happening?
He had so easily blocked Hui Hun's furious strike?
This new Saint… is exceedingly strong!
"It must be the Dao of Fire."
"Not necessarily—perhaps a rarer Solar Dao, even more fearsome."
The monster supremes whispered excitedly.
"No matter what Dao you command, you will die!"
Hui Hun drew a deep breath, and a sound like running water arose within his body.
An instant later, a single drop of water burst forth from him.
At first it was tiny.
Then, as if blown up, it swelled rapidly.
After flying a hundred zhang, it had already become a boundless sea.
The waters were black as ink, clearly saturated with demonic qi.
This was Hui Hun's Dao—
The Dao of Water!
Since ancient times, water and fire do not coexist.
When fire prevails, it steams the water.
When water prevails, it extinguishes the fire.
Hui Hun was utterly confident that his Dao of Water far surpassed the other's Dao of Fire.
After all, he had been famed for long.
Whereas the other had only just stepped into the Saint Realm—
A new Saint!
"Weak."
Only a single word came from midair.
The radiant figure drew a circle with his hand.
A thread-thin black line abruptly appeared in the sky.
Looking closely—
It was no line at all.
It was a fissure in the void!
The ink-black sea pressing down—
Was swallowed in an instant by the void fissure!
That long-gathered strike vanished at once into the chaotic currents of the void.
Hui Hun was thrown into chaos.
This strike contained the power of the Water Dao he had cultivated for many years. Yet the opponent blocked it without the slightest effort.
No—
It was not blocking.
It was redirecting.
The line drawn was clearly a fissure of the void. That meant this new Saint had likely comprehended the Void Dao! His earlier guess had been completely wrong.
The Void Dao.
It was widely acknowledged as one of the most difficult Daos to comprehend!
Xiang Gu, Hu Qing, and the other monster supremes were also shocked at the sight.
"With just a casual stroke, he drew a fissure of the void, redirecting that carefully prepared strike in an instant!"
"It seems this new Saint has not comprehended the Fire Dao, but the Void Dao!"
The supremes marveled in awe.
Since ancient times, there had been those who comprehended the Void Dao.
Not only some—many.
The power of the Void Dao was extremely formidable.
Yet few could cultivate it to the Saint Realm.
Most who pursued the Void Dao were ultimately defeated by the void's sinister thoughts, accumulated through endless years within the chaos of the void currents.
This new Saint was truly extraordinary.
Xiang Gu suddenly recalled someone.
"Shen Mo… I remember he comprehended the Void Dao."
Hu Qing nodded. "Indeed, we were all astonished at the time."
The other monster supremes grew furious at the mention of the name.
"If not for Shen Mo, would we be besieged by demons?"
"If not for Shen Mo, would the Blood God Monster Court have suffered such a siege?"
"Do not mention that human again!"
Xiang Gu and Hu Qing could only give bitter smiles and fall silent.
Though most monster supremes knew that only by uniting all races could the demons be destroyed, when one's own interests were threatened, the darkness of the heart always surfaced uncontrollably.
Who would still care about cooperation and unity?
The human heart is selfish.
So too is the monster's.
"To slay a Demon Saint as your first act after becoming a Saint—impressive."
That radiant figure smiled faintly.
He drew another circle with his hand.
Hui Hun froze, then burst into wild laughter.
"Boy, how arrogant you are! You actually wish to slay me!"
"Do you really think that just because you became a Saint through the Void Dao, you can roam the world unchallenged and look down upon all beneath heaven?"
"Very well, let me see what you are capable of!"
He sneered, both hands tightening.
Outwardly, he seemed motionless.
But in truth, he was already linking to the Water Dao flowing freely between heaven and earth.
The instant the opponent moved, he would unleash his strike.
"To focus too much on what is before you is to neglect what lies behind."
The radiant figure traced a circle in the air.
Hui Hun stiffened.
The next moment, he sensed an overwhelming threat erupting from behind him.
Buzz!
A void circle split open behind him.
Eighteen azure lotus seeds shot forth.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the eighteen lotus seeds pierced through Hui Hun's mighty body, leaving eighteen gaping holes.
Azure light spread rapidly across his flesh.
In the blink of an eye, sprouts grew, blossomed, and bore fruit!
Hui Hun was horrified.
Life force!
It was the power of life!
One of the forces most dreaded by the demon race!
He frantically surged his demonic qi, trying to extinguish the vitality.
But his efforts met unyielding resistance.
He had to consume one hundred parts of demonic qi just to smother a single strand of life force!
How terrifying was this!
"No… no!"
