Chapter 680 - 679: The Aura of the Present-Day Saint Isn’t Candle Dragon? It’s Actually Him?! [Second Update]
Chapter 680 - 679: The Aura of the Present-Day Saint Isn’t Candle Dragon? It’s Actually Him?! [Second Update]
Demon Master Kunpeng heard these words and couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, shaking his head, "Although the Lord of Daoism has Heaven-reaching strength, isn’t that Rakshasa Ancestor also unfathomable?"
"It’s unrealistic to think about eliminating him."
Obviously, he didn’t think Lin Heng had the strength to take down that Rakshasa Ancestor.
To this, Lin Heng did not explain anything and instead walked towards the sibling duo.
Seeing him come, the ever-noble Princess Iron Fan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said to him, "Long time no see, Taixu Celestial Venerable."
Lin Heng nodded at her and said, "The Immortal Slaying Sword fell on the Great Dark Asura Highland. I’m going there to retrieve the sword and at the same time solve that Rakshasa Ancestor, bringing peace to the Rakshasa descendants for you."
Princess Iron Fan’s beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and then she furrowed her brows lightly.
"The Ancestor’s cultivation is Heaven-reaching, Celestial Venerable, don’t challenge him."
In the Endless Fire Realm, she had gradually come to understand the true reason for the disappearance of generations of the Rakshasa Race.
She also realized that the so-called resurrection of the clan’s mission was fake.
Everything was just an excuse made by that Ancestor to lure descendants here as his sacrifices.
And Black Rakshasa had just learned the truth from her mouth. At this moment, seeing Lin Heng say he would solve the Ancestor, his heart was complicated, and he couldn’t help but feel worried.
"You still have to return to oversee the Celestial Court; don’t create complications. If anything unexpected happens, what should be done..."
Facing the advice, Lin Heng remained calm.
"Don’t worry, I know my limits."
"Additionally..."
Lin Heng paused and said to Princess Iron Fan, "Red Boy has always missed his mother. After I resolve these matters here, you and your brother can come with me to the Daoist Celestial Court."
"This..."
Princess Iron Fan’s beautiful eyes were complex, seemingly worried.
Lin Heng looked thoughtful, glancing toward the center of the sea of flames, at the former Demon Race saint, East Emperor Taiyi.
East Emperor Taiyi said calmly, "She has already helped send Bai Ze and the others away from Qingqiu. Now it’s best for her to stay here, but if she wants to go with you, I have no objection. Let her decide for herself."
"Moreover, their clan’s Ancestor has been resting on that highland for too many years. His state has recovered well, compared to the peak Zhunti Jieyin; not to mention, at least today’s Zhunti Jieyin is not above that Rakshasa Ancestor."
"So, you should think it through."
Like Demon Master Kunpeng, although East Emperor Taiyi also held this newly ascended Daoist Celestial Venerable in high regard, he was indifferent about him wanting to solve the Rakshasa Ancestor.
After all, the scene where the other party opened the Immortal Slaying Sword Array and fought fiercely with Zhunti was not a secret.
The upper limit of the opponent.
East Emperor Taiyi roughly understood.
He could only say there was no problem with going to the Great Dark Asura Highland to retrieve the Immortal Slaying Sword.
Forcing a life-and-death battle with the Rakshasa Ancestor would not end well.
Lin Heng smiled and did not waste words on dealing with the Rakshasa Ancestor, only cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, East Emperor, for letting her go."
Then he said to Princess Iron Fan, "As for your fear of the Rakshasa Race’s bloodline calamity affecting Red Boy, there’s no need to worry."
"With me here, no calamity will come down!"
This was not bravado; it was a fact that had already been proven.
Daoism itself was the greatest calamity-resolving force of this era, so what?
Those who attempted to deal with Daoism to gain Heavenly Dao rewards ended up as corpses.
Even Venerable Emperor Chong’en and Tathagata Buddha, two consecutive contemporary saints, failed to eradicate Daoism.
Lin Heng had already proven everything with strength.
And now his strength would only become more terrifying!
Princess Iron Fan looked at Lin Heng’s sharp, confident gaze and couldn’t help but be moved, finally nodding:
"Alright, Celestial Venerable, be sure to return safely."
Lin Heng smiled slightly and then disappeared into the Endless Fire Realm.
The next second.
Everyone saw the image of the Purple Gold Dao heading towards the Great Dark Asura Highland.
With one step, Lin Heng entered this highland of the Rakshasa Race from which there was no return.
Here, just as its name implied.
The Great Darkness overshadowed, like an Asura Prison.
At the peak of the highland, amidst the vast mist, ghostly shadows slowly emerged.
"Leave, I’ll throw out the Immortal Slaying Sword."
An eerie voice sounded, like a ghost grinding its teeth; it was the legendary Rakshasa Ancestor.
"No..."
Just as it finished speaking, it suddenly said in a grim voice, "There’s a murderous aura emanating from you!"
"You’re not here just to retrieve the sword; you also intend to kill me?"
Cold eyes fell on Lin Heng, the Rakshasa Ancestor both shocked and angry at his intent.
To this, Lin Heng did not conceal it. The Three Immortal Slaying Swords each fell into star positions, a net formed of overwhelming Sword Qi, not to form a complete Sword Array to kill the enemy, but merely to block the highland’s retreat.
"Do you know what you’re doing?"
"Have you thought through this action’s consequences?"
The Rakshasa Ancestor was furious. It couldn’t believe that he had actually come to kill it!
Lately, it had known about the other party’s entanglement with Zhunti Jieyin.
And it knew that this person was capable of challenging saints!
So, when the other party arrived, it decided not to fight and to return the Immortal Slaying Sword.
But it never expected that the other party would be so arrogant as to want to kill it?
This made it furious.
"Young one, you are talented, your strength allowing you to fight Zhunti using the Immortal Slaying Sword Array is indeed rare, and some arrogance is understandable."
"I can forgive your arrogance and presumptuousness this once."
"But please retreat immediately, do not force me to reveal myself, or no one will be able to save you!"
The Rakshasa Ancestor eventually let reason triumph over anger, suppressing its fury to warn the other party.
However, Lin Heng merely shook his head calmly and then pointed to pierce through the mist.
"Young one, you seek your own doom."
"This highland will be your final resting place!"
"Roar!!"
A terrifying aura erupted from the Great Dark Asura Highland, instantly sweeping across all of Qingqiu.
Countless creatures were terrified, all highland experts agape.
"It’s the Rakshasa Race’s Ancestor!"
"It’s emerged!"
"That Lord of Daoism provoked it!"
Many people cried out.
The Innate Saint Realm did not erupt into battle, but the Rakshasa Ancestor of the Great Dark Asura Highland actually flared up.
This was truly unexpected.
In an instant, everyone focused on the disturbances there.
Undoubtedly, a shocking battle erupted inside the highland, even though no one could see what was happening, the earth-shattering aura still spread out.
And then, the appearance of surging blood qi made all highland experts widen their eyes.
"Isn’t that the aura of a contemporary saint that emanated from the Supreme Celestial Abyss?"
"Wait, wasn’t that contemporary saint-level blood qi emitted by the Candle Dragon?"
"This... Oh my God!"
"So, it was him?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Including East Emperor Taiyi and Demon Master Kunpeng in the Endless Fire Realm, East Emperor Taiyi’s expression truly turned serious, with deep, starry eyes filled with disbelief.
