Master Wuchao looked at his chest, directly pierced by a demonic claw, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, as he struggled to turn his head.
Who was it? Hiding in the shadows and attacking , and I didn’t even notice?
Turning his head around, seeing a demon shadow behind him, Master Wuchao was suddenly enlightened: "Demon Lord Luohou, I never thought that the Great Jade Emperor, the esteed lord of the tri-realm, would actually, actually..."
Poof!
The claw of the demon shadow squeezed Master Wuchao’s heart, and before Master Wuchao could finish speaking, the claw suddenly tightened, causing Master Wuchao’s heart to burst open.
The light in his eyes dimd, and imdiately, Master Wuchao’s breath quickly dissipated, clearly already dead.
Beside him, the Jade Emperor, quick to react, raised his hand, catching the Immortal-Slaying Gourd that was falling from mid-air.
Seeing the Jade Emperor’s actions, the demon shadow had nothing more to say, rely raising his hand, causing a puppet doll from Master Wuchao to float into the demon shadow’s grasp.
It was indeed Master Wuchao’s other supre treasure, the Seven-Arrow Nail Book.
"Haotian, this seat has fulfilled the promise I made to you, hehehe, I hope you will not break your word regarding this seat’s establishnt of a portal in North Julu State!"
After collecting the Seven-Arrow Nail Book, the demon shadow spoke to the Jade Emperor.
"Don’t worry! I am a man of my word!" Glancing at the collected Seven-Arrow Nail Book in the demon shadow’s possession, the Jade Emperor’s brows slightly furrowed, but then relaxed, nodding in agreent.
Having received the Jade Emperor’s response, the demon shadow said no more, for after all, immortals and demons are different, and swiftly vanished into the horizon.
"This fellow’s strength has beco more and more unfathomable!" Watching the retreating figure of the demon shadow, the Jade Emperor murmured quietly.
Speaking of seniority, this demon shadow’s rank is almost on par with Taoist Ancestor Hongjun, possessing such a formidable power seems quite reasonable.
Before the great calamity of dragon and phoenix, there was a great calamity of gods and demons.
Led by Demon Ancestor Luohou, along with Ancestor Hongjun, Universe Ancestor, Ancestor Yangi and other powerful figures, a great battle erupted for the occupation of the Primordial Continent.
In that battle, although Luohou was defeated and killed, the remaining forces of the Demon Clan retreated to the Demon Realm!
However, back then in the Primordial Continent without reincarnation, so great powers of the Demon Clan gathered Luohou’s soul!
After tens of millions of years, this soul has unexpectedly cultivated to the quasi-saint peak level.
This is a corner almost forgotten in the era of the Primordial Continent, yet a powerful figure hidden very deeply!
Only he, with such a status, has the qualification to call himself the Lord of the Demon Realm.
Once the Demon Ancestor, now the Demon Lord.
Shaking his head, after a mont of reflection, the Jade Emperor collected his thoughts, stored Master Wuchao’s corpse, and then turned and left as well.
Utilizing Demon Lord Luohou’s power to kill Master Wuchao, for the Jade Emperor, this operation could be considered a complete success!
And without Master Wuchao’s existence to restrain the Star Dipper Formation of Complete Cycle, the formation can truly unleash its mighty power!
Though the Demon Clan has declined, Master Wuchao as the last royal of the Demon Clan, naturally wrapped in the Demon Clan’s destiny!
With Master Wuchao’s fall, a heavenly phenonon appeared.
The entire azure blue sky, at this mont, suddenly turned crimson as blood!
Simultaneously, drops of blood-colored rain fell from mid-air, as if the heavens themselves were weeping!
Amidst it all, faint sounds of sobbing could be heard.
Sensing sothing in their hearts, all the demons within the tri-realm and six paths howled towards the sky at this mont.
Whether they were newly enlightened demons, or demon immortals who had already cultivated to a high realm, they all cried out to the sky.
"What has happened now?"
At this ti, Jiang Liu and his party had just finished a quest dungeon and were resting when they suddenly noticed the sky turning blood red, and even a blood rain falling, displaying expressions of shock as they spoke.
"This heavenly phenonon, could it be that another powerful being of quasi-saint level has fallen?" Sun Wukong scratched the back of his head and suddenly guessed.
"This..." Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Jiang Liu felt a slight movent in his heart!
One has to admit, Sun Wukong’s guess seed very reasonable.
Each quasi-saint level powerhouse stands at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, second only to saints in existence!
Altogether, over eons, only two or three dozen have survived!
Because of personal sches, the relatively weak Maitreya Buddha and Empress among the quasi-saint level have perished successively!
Now, without any reason, how could another quasi-saint level powerhouse fall?
And who was it that fell this ti?
To speak of it, although my cultivation level is just a Daluo Golden Immortal now, progressing through the Journey to the West, I have gradually interacted with, or gotten to know, quite a few quasi-saint level powerhouses.
Tathagata, Demon Master Kunpeng, Master Wuchao, Immortal Zhenyuan!
Empress, Great Jade Emperor, Supre Elder Lord, Randeng Buddha!
Maitreya Buddha, Ancestor Minghe, Vidyaraja Kongxuan, Fairy Yunxiao!
Grand Immortal Zhao Gongming, Long Ba of the Dragon Clan, Feng San of the Phoenix Clan, Qilin King!
Wutian Buddha! Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin, Dream Demon.
In Jiang Liu’s heart, he carefully counted the Quasi-Saint level strongn in this world that he had encountered or known, and there were about nineteen.
Additionally, Zhu Bajie’s true ntor, the disciple of the Human Sect, Master Monk Xuandu, was also at the Quasi-Saint cultivation level.
Furthermore, the senior brother of the Interpretation Sect, Master Guangchang, also had Quasi-Saint cultivation!
These two Jiang Liu was still aware of.
Jiang Liu knew of twenty-one Quasi-Saint, and after Maitreya Buddha and the Empress fell, he still knew of nineteen!
Each of these nineteen strongn was not simple, so, was there really a Quasi-Saint strongman who fell today? And who was it that fell?
For this world, the fall of a Quasi-Saint strongman is no small matter.
Jiang Liu guessed that the celestial phenonon was caused by a Quasi-Saint’s fall, and at this ti, the other Quasi-Saint strongn also understood what was going on.
Unlike Jiang Liu, who still didn’t know exactly who had fallen, the other Quasi-Saint felt it in their hearts and quickly understood who had fallen.
For a mont, the reactions of the Quasi-Saint dignitaries varied.
"The third one, a Quasi-Saint strongman, in ten thousand or even a hundred thousand years, it’s rare for one to fall, yet in these few short years, three have already fallen. Truly terrifying during the Imasurable Kalpa!"
In the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Ancestor Minghe murmured softly, appearing frightened.
It seems that being cautious is indeed wise; withdrawing and hiding during the Imasurable Kalpa is the best way to respond to the catastrophe.
"Alas, has the last of the Demon Clan’s Imperial family fallen?" In the territory of the Demon Realm’s Witch Clan, Zhu Jiuyin sighed long, feeling a sense of lancholy.
"Damn it, who! Who killed the Crown Prince?!" On the other side, upon learning of Master Wuchao’s fall, Demon Master Kunpeng roared in anger.
Demon Master Kunpeng held an extraordinary position in the Demon Clan!
However, during the Witch-Demon War, even knowing the final outco would be disastrous for both clans like a Dragon-Phoenix catastrophe, Dijun and Taiyi insisted they could succeed, while Demon Master Kunpeng hid to preserve himself!
After the Witch-Demon War ended, Demon Master Kunpeng was labeled as a coward who feared death by the Demon Clan.
Despite this, Kunpeng did not feel he was wrong!
He still had deep feelings for the Demon Clan, but was there sothing wrong with wanting to live?
.
All the way, although Kunpeng was not much favored by the Demon Clan and even had a distant relation with the last Crown Prince, Master Wuchao!
Yet Kunpeng still valued him, willing to help wherever he could, except for the Hongng Purple Qi.
However, upon hearing the news of Master Wuchao’s demise and the extinction of the entire Golden Crow Clan, the imperial family of the Demon Clan, Demon Master Kunpeng was deeply infuriated!
What thoughts Demon Master Kunpeng harbored, setting that aside!
Jiang Liu, curious at heart, naturally wanted to find a Quasi-Saint level boss to inquire.
So, among the Quasi-Saint he knew, whom should he ask?
After contemplating for a while, Jiang Liu imdiately opened his friend list.
The fall of a Quasi-Saint strongman doesn’t necessarily an asking another Quasi-Saint; there’s soone who should know, that is Ksitigarbha!
No matter which Quasi-Saint falls, surely their Lost Souls would end up in his hands, wouldn’t they?
Opening the dialogue box with Ksitigarbha, Jiang Liu directly sent a ssage to inquire about the situation.
"The one who fell this ti is Master Wuchao!" As Jiang Liu inquired, Ksitigarbha quickly responded with an answer.
"Was it Master Wuchao who was killed?" Hearing this, Jiang Liu’s face was filled with shock.
As a mber of the Golden Crow Clan, he was naturally gifted, and moreover, Master Wuchao wielded the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, and was at a 96th-level cultivation...
With such comprehensive strength, Master Wuchao should have been among the elite at the Quasi-Saint level, right?
Yet he was killed? Who was the one behind it?
Jiang Liu asked this question naturally.
"Such affairs of the afterlife should not be spoken clearly; it’s the rule, but since Xuanzang you want to know, it’s fine to tell you. It was the Jade Emperor who conspired with the Lord of the Demon Realm, Luohou, ambushed Master Wuchao and succeeded!"
As Jiang Liu inquired, after a mont, Ksitigarbha still provided an accurate response.
"The Jade Emperor! It was the Jade Emperor! He tead up with the strongn of the Demon Realm? Luohou? Wasn’t Luohou said to have fallen before the Dragon-Phoenix disaster?"
Ksitigarbha’s reply left Jiang Liu stunned, feeling imnsely shocked.
The response carried too much information.
"That’s all for now; Demon Master Kunpeng has arrived. It seems he’s here to claim Master Wuchao’s soul!"
Yet, without waiting for Jiang Liu to ask about Luohou’s information, Ksitigarbha sent another ssage.
Closing the dialogue box with Jiang Liu, Ksitigarbha looked at Demon Master Kunpeng sweeping in like the wind towards his Underworld.
