Chapter 716 - 710: Entangled in Karma, Swift Severance

Awakened by the shouts of the Buddha and Wa Huang, the Demon Lord instantly came to his senses.

This palm strike, easy to unleash.

Killing the Grand Elder of the Void Race would also be easy, like crushing an ant.

But after killing him, what then?

Entangled in cause and effect, he would surely suffer the consequences.

His future cultivation would hardly progress, and he would likely be despised by the Void Law.

Simply put, as long as he kills the Grand Elder of the Void Race.

From that point on, the Demon Lord would become the most unfortunate being in the Void, nothing he attempts would succeed.

Thinking of this, the Demon Lord paused in his tracks.

He regretted it!

The Demon Lord, driven by desperation, immediately struck out a second palm.

This second palm was faster and swifter than the first, the Demon Lord wanted to deflect the first palm with the second.

Preventing the palm power of the first strike from hitting the Grand Elder of the Void Race.

For the Demon Lord, today the Grand Elder of the Void Race must die, but he cannot die by his own hand.

The Demon Lord, acting impulsively, had aimed a palm at the Grand Elder of the Void Race, but now he regretted it and wanted to remedy the situation.

But once the bow is drawn, there’s no turning back the arrow.

Meanwhile, the Grand Elder of the Void Race, who was laughing wildly, had an even broader grin when he saw the Demon Lord’s palm coming towards him.

He initially thought, the results of today’s battle had reached their end.

Never did he expect, at the crucial moment, the Demon Lord would make such a blunder.

Moreover, it was the biggest blunder since the battle began.

The death of the Grand Elder of the Void Race today is inevitable.

And he does not fear death.

He just wants his death to have the utmost value.

And now, his opportunity has arrived.

Dying at the hands of the Demon Lord is the greatest value.

Letting cause and effect ensnare the Demon Lord, who would undoubtedly pay a tremendous price.

Seeing the Demon Lord’s palm strike out, followed by another.

The Grand Elder of the Void Race could tell, the Demon Lord regretted it, wanting to undo the action.

Pull up your pants?

Too late!

"Well done!"

"Good indeed!" The Grand Elder of the Void Race turned into a streak of light, voluntarily crashing into the Demon Lord’s palm.

The Demon Lord is a Tier One Powerhouse, with the power of the Four Great Primordial Spirits.

The Grand Elder of the Void Race, a severely injured and dying Tier Two.

Not only are their strengths vastly different, the key point is, the Grand Elder of the Void Race seeks death, and has absolutely no defense.

At the moment the Grand Elder of the Void Race collided with the Demon Lord’s palm power, his entire being turned to ash.

Ashes to ashes.

Not a trace of residue remained.

Demon Lord: "?????"

"Damn it!"

"What a wretched creature!" Seeing the Grand Elder of the Void Race willingly collide with his palm, the Demon Lord jumped into a rage, yet felt powerless.

Buddha and Wa Huang helplessly closed their eyes, the event they least wished to see had unfolded.

This incident would entangle the Demon Lord in cause and effect, potentially losing his competitive edge with Buddha and Wa Huang.

However, for Buddha and Wa Huang, this is not good news.

They scheme for the heavens, and their greatest enemy is the Yin Celestial Son.

Before dealing with the Yin Celestial Son, the Demon Lord remained an ally.

Once the Yin Celestial Son is dealt with, they would begin to contend internally.

But now, undoubtedly ensnared by cause and effect, the Demon Lord would be preoccupied and unable to aid them in confronting the Yin Celestial Son.

Facing the Yin Celestial Son would reduce from three to two, decreasing their chances of victory.

"Crack."

A pale lightning bolt streaked across the Void.

Illuminating the eternally dark Void.

Then there was the sound.

"Boom."

"Boom, boom, boom."

The thunder grew louder and louder, a deafening roar, seemingly signifying the anger of the Void.

In the Void, like the earth, there is thunder.

The thunder in the Void is known as Void Divine Thunder.

But Void Divine Thunder differs from the thunder beneath the heavens.

On earth, thunder strikes accompany rainy days.

Yet in the Void, only when one casts spells does Void Divine Thunder manifest.

Spontaneous lightning, thunder, this is a first.

With this thought, Wa Huang and Buddha instinctively retreated, wanting to distance themselves from the Demon Lord, unwilling to be tainted by cause and effect.

"Plop."

"Plop, plop."

The sound of raindrops echoed, surprisingly rain began to fall in the Void.

How could there be rain in the Void?

But today, it happened.

Rain descended in the Void.

Buddha reached out, trying to catch the rain, the water hitting his hand was blood-red.

Rain in the Void signifies the anger of the Void.

At the same time, the Demon Lord seemed to feel something enter his body.

Making him very uncomfortable, very uneasy.

Yet for now, it seemed to have no effect on him.

Cause and effect.

This is cause and effect!

Even as a Tier One Powerhouse, the Demon Lord couldn’t fully comprehend it, this is truly terrifying.

The clearer one understands, the less frightening it becomes.

The terror lies in the unknown feelings.

"The Grand Elder of the Void Race has been slain, the Void Race is leaderless. The task of rounding them up, let Wa Huang’s Palace disciples handle it!"

"I’ll first lead the disciples back to Wa Huang’s Palace, arrange everything, and ensure the Void Race is thoroughly cleansed." As soon as she finished speaking, Wa Huang prepared to leave.

Among the Demon Lord, Buddha, and Wa Huang, regarding the joint extermination of the Void Race, Wa Huang had always been the least interested.

Why, this time she appeared enthusiastic and volunteered for the task?

There is only one answer.

She no longer wishes to ally with the Demon Lord, willing to handle the upcoming tasks herself, uniting with the Demon Lord no longer appeals.

Based on Wa Huang’s understanding of the power of cause and effect, now is the time to immediately sever ties with the Demon Lord, distance herself as much as possible.

Being near him would surely bring no good.

Not to mention, Wa Huang was never compatible with the Demon Lord, even Buddha, his staunch ally, now wanted to quickly sever their ties with the Demon Lord.

"Wa Huang’s suggestion is reasonable, this battle has severely damaged the Great Demon God Palace and the Celestial Burial Temple, Wa Huang’s Palace has retained strength, let them handle the next phase!"

"We shall disperse here, each returning to recuperate!" Buddha echoed her sentiment.

Demon Lord: "????"

The Demon Lord’s expression grew increasingly twisted, thinking, now they regard him as worthless filth? You two, truly pragmatic.

All like the foxes from the same mountain, why speak of such things?

Despite lacking wisdom, the Demon Lord could perceive Buddha and Wa Huang’s intentions.

"Thinking of leaving, huh?"

"Let’s see if either of you dares leave!"

"If either of you leave, henceforth, whatever you do, I’ll meddle, ensuring you accomplish nothing."

"Anyway, now that I’m entangled in cause and effect, the Great Demon God Palace is gone, I’ll just reside alternately in your two domains!" the Demon Lord stated through gritted teeth.
