Chapter 361: Chapter 194: Opening a Grotto Heaven, Invincible
WHOOSH—
Wang Xiao stood high in the sky, his aura as calm as still water. The terrifying, sky-piercing Blood Qi from before was gone.
The Dao Charm surrounding him gradually dissipated, and his Divine Will retracted, returning to normal.
From every tiny pore on his body, beads of fresh blood seeped out.
Even channeling the Life Dao Fruit couldn’t stop the bleeding right away!
’So this is the power of a Grotto Heaven after Origin Unity. I nearly died in there, even after turning my body into an arrow.’
Wang Xiao’s expression was grim as he let out a breath.
He had just seemed overwhelmingly powerful, killing Montis in a single strike!
In reality, he had also suffered serious injuries!
The immense power hidden within that vast Blood Qi River from moments ago had even shaken Wang Xiao.
If he hadn’t already condensed the Nine Great Origin Dao Fruits and created the Celestial Will Unity Arrow...
...he probably would have been no match for Montis at all!
’The Divine-Demon Races are even stronger than I imagined. I have to open my Grotto Heaven as soon as possible, then try to refine a planet’s consciousness and break through to become a Tier Seven Life.’
’Otherwise, if those Ancient Divine-Demons from beyond this Heaven and Earth decide to act, I’ll be dead for sure!’
Wang Xiao’s thoughts raced.
For now, the Ancient Divine-Demon Races seemed to be under some kind of restriction, preventing them from acting easily.
They only had their descendants compete against each other to seize the Celestial Observation Cauldron.
However, "not acting easily" didn’t mean "unable to act."
If the Ancient Divine-Demon Races felt threatened and decided to act forcefully, no matter the cost...
...then with Wang Xiao’s current strength, he likely wouldn’t be able to stop them.
’It looks like I’ll have to borrow the power of the Celestial Observation Cauldron to completely unify my Nine Great Origins. Otherwise, who knows how long it would take to achieve Origin Unity on my own!’
Wang Xiao had, of course, analyzed and committed Montis’s Method of Origin Unity to memory.
However, he lacked the Celestial Observation Cauldron, so he couldn’t try it!
He could only return to the Human Ancestral Land and discuss it with Gongsun Yan.
If Gongsun Yan agreed to hand over the Celestial Observation Cauldron, that would be for the best.
If he didn’t, then Wang Xiao might have to resort to some more forceful methods.
Without another thought, Wang Xiao tore through the void and quickly departed.
「A moment later.」
One by one, figures from the Six-winged Demon Race tore through the void and descended from the vast sky.
A few of these Six-winged Demon Race members had auras that were even slightly stronger than Montis’s.
After investigating the area for a moment, the group’s eyes twitched, all of them revealing looks of surprise.
"Montis is really dead. His body and spirit were completely annihilated, not even a chance of resurrection!"
"Could the Director of the Demon-slaying Bureau or the Demon Extermination Bureau have acted? They’re strong, but it would still be difficult for them to kill Montis."
"Maybe those two from the Divine Race ganged up on Montis and killed him!"
"Why are we just guessing? Diana, use your spacetime rewind and see what happened."
A woman with a bewitching appearance, holding a black Magic Staff, nodded slightly and pointed toward the void before her.
BUZZ!
In that instant, a scene seemed to traverse time and space, slowly unfolding before the group.
However, the image was extremely blurry. They could only make out a brilliant beam of light rising against the heavens, tearing through the Blood River and piercing Montis.
Then, the image shattered with a bang, unable to show anything more!
The member of the Six-winged Demon Race named Diana furrowed her brow.
"The one who killed Montis also has a deep command of time and space. They forcefully isolated that segment of spacetime, so I can only probe a small part of it."
The other members of the Six-winged Demon Race raised their eyebrows slightly, a pensive look on their faces.
"That... it seems it was the Human Race, not the Divine Race!"
"What human could be that powerful? Powerful enough to tear through Montis’s Blood Qi River? That guy devoured hundreds of millions of the Human Race and Demon Race to cultivate that Divine Technique. Even I would have to give its power a wide berth! The Directors of the Demon-slaying Bureau and Demon Extermination Bureau couldn’t do something like this!"
"Do you all remember that human who killed Siming Kang with an arrow thirty years ago? This method of attack is somewhat similar to theirs."
"Hiss... A Venerable was able to kill Montis?!"
"Don’t underestimate the Human Race. They’re an extremely tenacious people, always managing to do things we don’t expect. Like Emperor Yu back in the day, or those few Celestial Venerables who later started the god-slaughtering and demon-exterminating wars. They were all peerlessly talented geniuses!"
"Perhaps we should inform the Ancient Demon King lords about this and let them decide."
"Don’t you know? The Demon King lords have been searching for rifts in the starry sky all these years, trying to return to our home nebula. Right now, who knows how many light-years away they are. They probably won’t be back anytime soon."
"He’s just a Venerable anyway. Even if the Demon King lords found out, they probably wouldn’t pay it any mind. Let’s wait until he breaks through to Celestial Venerable and tries to become a Star Lord, then we can strike him down!"
"Fine. When the time comes, we won’t even have to act. The Divine Race won’t allow such a figure to rise among the humans. We can just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."
In an instant, the group of Six-winged Demon Race members tore through the void and swiftly departed.
The death of one of their own meant little to them.
Their Demon Race bloodline was superior; it wouldn’t be long before a new member of the Six-winged Demon Race appeared.
...
「Meanwhile.」
Wang Xiao tore through the void and returned to the Human Ancestral Land.
「Outside Primordial Valley.」
When Lin AhSan saw Wang Xiao return, he hurried forward to greet him.
"Senior, are you all right?!"
He could smell the faint, almost unnoticeable scent of blood.
’Senior... he’s actually injured!’
Wang Xiao waved his hand.
"It’s nothing serious. I’ll recover after a few days of meditation. That member of the Six-winged Demon Race has been slain by my hand."
