Chapter 1913: Chapter 2010: Immense Crisis
"Is this the Innate Stone Monkey left behind by Xuanyuan Ya sacrificing his own destiny? It does bear some resemblance to me." The figure emerging from the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree looked at the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, muttering to himself.
"It’s a pity that since you were created by Xuanyuan Ya, I must destroy you to prevent you from becoming a threat in the future." As he spoke, a hint of murderous intent flickered in his eyes.
If Fang Lin were here, he would surely recognize this person; he is the First Generation Demon Saint, who survives by relying on the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree.
The First Generation Demon Saint was surrounded by a golden light, which was the power he obtained from the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, allowing him to briefly manifest.
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven remained unresponsive, entirely oblivious to the presence of the First Generation Demon Saint, still immersed in his cultivation.
Yet, the First Generation Demon Saint showed no mercy, striking directly toward the top of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s head.
This strike landed solidly on the Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s head, and given the First Generation Demon Saint’s power, it would surely leave the Great Sage Equal to Heaven gravely injured or dead.
But just as the strike was about to fall on the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, a golden aura enveloped him, blocking the strike of the First Generation Demon Saint.
The First Generation Demon Saint’s expression changed; this strike could kill an ordinary Heavenly Mandate master, yet it couldn’t even shatter this layer of golden aura.
Although the current First Generation Demon Saint didn’t have the strength he had at his peak, and was even weaker than when he snatched the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill at the Pill Saint Palace, a dying camel is bigger than a horse, and to kill someone who just stepped into the Ten Transformations stage should not be a problem.
But now, the First Generation Demon Saint found himself helpless against the golden aura surrounding the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, sensing a breath that seemed to be rooted in the same origin as the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree.
"Innate Stone Monkey? Could it be that he wasn’t created by Xuanyuan Ya, but a Heaven and Earth Spirit Womb born naturally? But even a Heaven and Earth Spirit Womb shouldn’t possess such power, unless..." The First Generation Demon Saint’s face grew increasingly grim as he thought of an unpalatable possibility, and he suddenly turned to look at the small and unremarkable Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree.
"Unless this Stone Monkey was birthed from you!" The First Generation Demon Saint gritted his teeth, wishing he could destroy that Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree with one strike.
With the First Generation Demon Saint’s power, there were almost no existing beings he couldn’t kill, yet there were two he could not destroy.
One was the ancient life that first emerged in Mountain Tu; the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree was one such entity, and the First Generation Demon Saint could not destroy it and had to rely on it to survive.
Another was a being born within the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, sharing the same power as the Sacred Tree and essentially being the oldest existence in the world, which the First Generation Demon Saint couldn’t destroy.
From this, it seems that the Great Sage Equal to Heaven must be one or the other, with a higher possibility of being born within the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree.
After all, the First Generation Demon Saint was one of the incarnations of the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu, and he remembered clearly that no monkey had ever been born on Mountain Tu, so the Great Sage Equal to Heaven must have been nurtured from the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree.
"Even if he was born within you, I must still destroy him!" The First Generation Demon Saint swore to himself, increasingly convinced that the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was too threatening. Although his current ability could not yet hinder their progress, the potential of the Innate Spiritual Fetus was too great and might become an existence like the Ancient Wilderness Exotic Beast in the future.
Therefore, the First Generation Demon Saint was determined to exhaust most of his power if necessary to destroy the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
From the heavens, a force gathered onto the First Generation Demon Saint, as he gradually approached the power he had at his peak.
Such a commotion alerted Fang Lin, who was also located in Ancient Demon Ridge, prompting him to stow away the Universe Creation Furnace used for Pill Refining and rush toward the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree.
Upon his arrival, Fang Lin immediately saw the First Generation Demon Saint standing before the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, already poised to strike.
"This is bad!" Fang Lin was shocked; although he had always feared the First Generation Demon Saint who relied on the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, he hadn’t expected the creature to suddenly appear, catching them off guard. At this time in Ancient Demon Ridge, there was no one capable of contesting the First Generation Demon Saint, nor could such a master be found across the world.
"You’re next, so don’t be anxious." The First Generation Demon Saint glanced at Fang Lin, his gaze icy, and with a wave of his hand, he set a powerful array covering all of Ancient Demon Ridge, making it impossible for any creature to escape.
Fang Lin gritted his teeth; though aware he wasn’t a match for the First Generation Demon Saint, the situation left him no choice but to act.
Boom!
With one step, Fang Lin incorporated the Ancient Lamp of Flame God and the True Dragon avatar into his being, elevating his state to the peak. Without hesitation, he threw a punch with all his ten-fold strength at the First Generation Demon Saint.
As for harming the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Fang Lin noted that the golden aura seemed to protect him, so he believed it wouldn’t cause significant harm.
More importantly, there was no time for such concerns now. The appearance of the First Generation Demon Saint was the greatest threat, and Fang Lin had to fight him regardless of the odds, even if it seemed futile and reckless.
Faced with Fang Lin’s aggressive attack, the First Generation Demon Saint smirked coldly, reached out his hand, and Fang Lin was immediately frozen in place, rendered immobile by an overpowering force.
"Compared to your father, you fall far too short." The First Generation Demon Saint taunted with a laugh.
Fang Lin’s complexion grew dark, and he felt powerless and bitter; after all, the First Generation Demon Saint was as formidable as the Martial Arts Supreme, a peerless master, far beyond what Fang Lin could handle now. The disparity was insurmountable, not something any technique could bridge.
"You cannot die yet, since your soul holds the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill. I need to extract your soul first," said the First Generation Demon Saint, taking a step forward to stand before Fang Lin.
Fang Lin wished to struggle, but it was as if he lost control of his body, unable to move even a finger.
Pure suppression left Fang Lin far too weak before the First Generation Demon Saint.
At this moment, a shaggy golden dog strolled over from a distance, yawning as if still not quite awake, looking utterly drowsy.
The First Generation Demon Saint glanced at the golden dog, his expression momentarily startled, with a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
The golden dog also noticed what was happening here, looking confused and puzzled, not understanding the situation.
But soon enough, the golden dog responded, showing a fierce expression to the First Generation Demon Saint, barking loudly.
The bark caused a massive tremor within the First Generation Demon Saint’s mind.
At the same time, deep beneath the earth, decaying True Dragon bones surged with life, a clear phoenix cry echoed from the Divine Phoenix Tomb beneath the vast sea.
At the Extreme North Icefield’s depths, a colossal bird emerged from the ice, soaring straight up 90,000 miles into the sky.
Throughout the mountains, auspicious signs appeared, all beasts submitted, and a Kylin statue lost within a deep valley shattered, demon qi soared into the heavens.
