Chapter 755 Young Man, What Is Your Name, Where Do You Come From, and Will You Become My Disciple
The Purifying World Green Lotus descended with a roar, like a massive mountain crushing down upon Shi Cangling.
Shi Cangling turned pale with shock and hastily forced the Evil Demon Bell into motion once again.
At the same time, he slapped his hand, and several supreme-grade artifacts shot out from his body.
He possessed only one Great Dao artifact.
But he had no shortage of supreme-grade artifacts.
Faced with such a fierce attack, he had no choice but to go all out.
At that moment, the distant Demon Saints finally noticed something was wrong and voiced their alarm.
The Destruction Whirlpool covered an enormous area, and the Demon Saints were stationed separately to guard it.
Had it not been for the immense commotion here, they would not have realized anything was happening.
But by then, the Purifying World Green Lotus had already crashed down.
A surging force of vitality erupted, enveloping Shi Cangling entirely.
Upon it burst the auras of the Great Dao of Void, the Great Dao of Strength, and the Great Dao of Fire.
Along with it raged the Nine Nether Ice Flame.
Three supreme-grade artifacts shattered in an instant.
The Great Dao artifact Evil Demon Bell could not hold out for long either. With a mournful wail, its light dimmed as it was hurled far away.
Shi Cangling's eyes widened. He roared in rage and despair.
But his roar ended in the blink of an eye.
The terrifying power of vitality utterly purified him!
"Return," Shen Mo said calmly.
The Purifying World Green Lotus returned into his body.
Only a trace of white powder remained in place.
This was all that was left of Shi Cangling, one of the Four Demon Lords of the Corpse-Beast Demon Kingdom.
Shen Mo blew lightly, and even this last trace swiftly vanished into the endless void currents.
Such a sharp and decisive method left Fu Zu and Jiu Yin Shengren somewhat astonished.
So quickly slain?
This person seemed only to possess the strength of Chidi fourth stage.
Could it be the Great Dao artifact's power?
Yet come to think of it, despite their long lives, they had never once seen this Great Dao artifact before.
Could it have been forged by a new Saint during their absence from Shengxuan Heaven and Earth?
Fu Zu suddenly asked, "Young man, could it be that you sanctified using this Great Dao artifact as your foundation?"
Shen Mo cupped his hands slightly toward Fu Zu and Jiu Yin Shengren, then smiled. "Senior Fu Zu jests. This junior indeed used the Purifying World Green Lotus as the root of my Saint Dao."
Jiu Yin Shengren was startled. "Purifying World Green Lotus?"
"You actually came upon such a divine treasure of heaven and earth! No wonder, with only Chidi fourth stage strength, you could slay one of the Four Demon Lords of the Corpse-Beast Demon Kingdom!"
The two finally understood.
The Purifying World Green Lotus was an unparalleled treasure.
Many heavens, from their birth to their end, might never give rise to even one.
Moreover, this treasure inherently restrained demons.
Thus, once it appeared, the demons would target it, seeking to destroy it at all costs.
Only if it had just been born, before the demons could arrive, might an outsider seize it.
They themselves had wandered across countless worlds, hoping to find one, to refine into a Great Dao artifact against the demons.
Yet they had never succeeded.
Unexpectedly, this rarest of fortunes had fallen to a junior.
The more Fu Zu looked at Shen Mo, the more delighted he became. "Young man, what is your name? Where do you come from? And would you like to become my disciple?"
The sudden third question made Shen Mo laugh in spite of himself.
He had long heard that Fu Zu loved taking disciples, with disciples numbering in the thousands.
He had not expected that upon their very first meeting, Fu Zu would already want to make him one.
Jiu Yin Shengren snorted. "At a time like this, you still think about taking disciples. Young friend, two more Demon Saints are approaching. Be careful."
"I suggest you enter the Futian Treasure Domain for now, recover slightly, and then plan your next move."
"And perhaps consider the matter of becoming my disciple."
At first, Fu Zu did not react.
But after hearing Jiu Yin Shengren's words, he instantly fumed, blowing his beard and glaring.
"Old ghost Jiu Yin, you truly are devious!"
"Just now you scolded me, saying at a time like this I was still thinking of taking disciples."
"And now you, this old ghost, immediately want to take one yourself."
"Shameless!"
Faced with such a scolding, Jiu Yin Shengren's expression did not change in the slightest.
He stared straight at Shen Mo, clearly waiting for his answer.
Shen Mo could only smile bitterly.
Both Fu Zu and Jiu Yin Shengren were Saint Realms who had been renowned for countless years, each commanding a top-tier power—Tianfu Faction and Xuanyin Cave Heaven.
Neither was someone he could afford to offend.
No matter which side he chose to join, the other would surely be offended.
This truly gave him a headache.
Just as Shen Mo was at a loss, two furious roars saved him.
"Where is the Four Demon Lord! Who are you?"
"Human brat, quickly tell us the whereabouts of the Four Demon Lord, and we may spare your life!"
Two Shi Division Demon Saints rushed over, their voices stern.
Shen Mo immediately let out a breath of relief.
Perfect timing!
"Two seniors, allow this junior to deal with these two Demon Saints first."
Fu Zu quickly called out, "Those two are not weak, be careful!"
Jiu Yin Shengren added gravely, "They are Shi Ying and Shi Peng, trusted aides under Shi Cangling. You must be extremely cautious…"
But before their words had even finished, the overwhelming vitality power of the Purifying World Green Lotus descended like a sky-toppling tidal wave.
The two Demon Saints were instantly reduced to dust.
They shared the same fate as Shi Cangling.
"This Purifying World Green Lotus is truly the natural nemesis of demons. And he has even innovatively fused the Nine Nether Ice Flame into it—remarkable!"
Fu Zu sighed in admiration.
Jiu Yin Shengren sneered, "You once tried to subdue the Nine Nether Ice Flame yourself, yet now a junior has surpassed you. Do you not feel ashamed?"
Fu Zu forced a smile. "A little… perhaps."
"Two seniors, please wait. I will first rescue Senior Shen Huang and the others."
Shen Mo left these words behind and sped off in another direction.
Shen Huang, Long Gui, and Tian Hu were also trapped.
This was the perfect chance to rescue them together.
Elsewhere.
Because of the distance, the Saints in that area were unaware of what had just happened.
They only noticed that the region guarded by Shi Cangling showed signs of battle.
The five Demon Saints there chatted idly.
"There's a disturbance where the Four Demon Lord is stationed. Likely another Saint Realm has come to throw himself into the fire."
"Heh, the result will be the same as with those three Beast Saints—trapped here, never to leave for all eternity!"
"Should we go lend a hand?"
"No need. With the Four Demon Lord's strength, plus Shi Ying and Shi Peng assisting, unless five Saints arrive at once, no one can stand against them."
The Demon Saint who had been silent finally spoke. "There is no need to say more. We will remain here and guard."
"Humans are the most cunning and treacherous. Do not fall for their trick of luring the tiger from the mountain. Perhaps they are pretending to rescue Fu Zu and Jiu Yin Shengren, when in fact they intend to save the three Beast Saints."
The other four Demon Saints all nodded in agreement.
"Shi Hui, your mind is indeed the sharpest. No wonder you are named for wisdom!"
"Yes, no wonder the Four Demon Lord told us to follow your commands."
"Then we will go nowhere, just guard here!"
"Hm? Look over there, it seems someone is approaching."
The five Demons all turned their gazes. Sure enough, they saw a figure stepping on a lotus platform, flying rapidly toward them.
