Chapter 1955: What Is a Saint Blood Bodhi?

Saint Long was about to exhaust his strength completely. The moment he did, the combined inner Domain power of the five great demonic beasts would engulf the surrounding area.

When that happened, not only would Saint Long be reduced to ash, but every single person present would face certain death.

This was the level of confrontation the Ancient Demon had chosen to avoid. How could they, who had remained stuck at the ninth transformation for so many years, resist this level of power?

A ninth-transformation immortal shook his head. "Perhaps he does not fear death. He is the supreme ruler of the Underworld after all. But we are different. If we step up right now, isn't that the same as walking right to our death?"

"Although we share the same objective, a defeat today is still a defeat. If we throw our lives away as well, wouldn't that be exactly what the God Dao Sect wants? How would the Nine Realms deal with its internal and external threats afterward?"

Chen Feifei refrained from offering any explanation. He merely chased straight after Fang Chen.

The crowd fell into a lengthy, stagnant silence. In the end, a few ninth-transformation Immortals decided to move forward and see what was happening for themselves. The rest remained where they were with their disciples, watching from afar.

"Monarch Fang has arrived."

The moment Fang Chen appeared, Lang Daochun and Shao Mengyuan sensed his aura. Ironically, Saint Long was the last to discover it. At the moment, every ounce of his strength and concentration was focused entirely on the five demonic beasts of the God Dao Sect.

Lang Daochun shouted, "Monarch Fang, things aren't looking good! Did you run into trouble on your way here?"

Fang Chen stated calmly, "A Void Beast legion ambushed us along the way. There were nearly a thousand Void Beasts, all of them Limit Breakers, so they delayed us for a while."

Nearly a thousand Void Beasts?!

Shao Mengyuan looked at the God Dao Sect Master with immense shock. "Your God Dao Sect can actually control monsters like these?!"

A knowing smile hung on the other man's face. He clearly had no intention of denying that the Void Beasts were the God Dao Sect's doing.

"Void Beasts existed in an age before the Nine Realms, back when the Nine Realms didn't even exist yet. Even after that era was annihilated, the Void Beasts somehow survived," said Lang Daochun, curiously looking at the God Dao Sect Master. "Yet their movements have always been extremely mysterious. Most of them only roam near the Ancient Forbidden Zones, and they're incapable of communication. What method did your God Dao Sect use to tame them?"

The God Dao Sect Master completely ignored him. Instead, he gazed at Fang Chen and smiled. "Monarch Fang, we finally met."

"You arrived one step too late. Saint Long is running out of strength, while your Yin Soldiers have been depleted by the Void Beasts. Even if you act now, in a few hours, defeat will still be inevitable for all of you. So, I think we should sit down and have a proper discussion. "

Everyone secretly seethed with anger, yet there was nothing they could do about him. Who could have imagined that the God Dao Sect, which had seemingly already suffered a complete defeat, still had such a trump card hidden away? Had they known this beforehand, perhaps the correct choice today would have been for none of them to come at all.

"There is nothing for us to talk about. The Human Race could cooperate with the Demon Race because both of us migrated here. At our roots, there's no reason for us to become mortal enemies. But in the eyes of the Demonic Beasts Race, we humans are foreign enemies who invaded the Nine Realms. After so many years of conflict, reconciliation between us has long since become impossible.

Fang Chen chuckled. "Unless the human race becomes so powerful that even the Dao Seeking Faction of your Demonic Beasts Race no longer dares to oppose us. Only then will you seek peace."

An old demon beast laughed. "You understand the situation very well."

He was so old that only a few teeth remained in his mouth, but under the empowerment of the Demonic Beasts Ruins Inner Domain, his monstrous aura towered into the heavens.

The core members of the Enlightenment God Palace watched the opposing side's demeanor, their fists clenched out of frustration. They hated that they were weak and couldn't participate in this battle.

The Void Beast army sent by the enemy had claimed the lives of many core members. Those who had died had been their senior and junior brothers and sisters whom they had known for countless years. How could they not hate the perpetrators?

"Under the current circumstances, you'll negotiate whether you want to or not," stated the God Dao Sect Master indifferently.

The ninth-transformation immortals of the various factions furrowed their brows.

Lang Daochun suggested, "Why don't we listen to what he has to say?"

Shao Mengyuan remained silent for a moment before saying, "Our goals are completely at odds. Negotiations are useless."

"Little Monarch Fang, aren't those elders of yours planning to show their faces at all?" said Saint Long.

Precisely!

Everyone's spirits immediately lifted. As long as those Yang Gods appeared, perhaps there was still a chance of victory. Even if things went south, as long as they could ensure Saint Long escaped alive, they could cut their losses.

The God Dao Sect Master shook his head. "Those Yang Gods all have their own matters to attend to. I am afraid they won't be coming. And even if they did, no tricks or schemes have any meaning before absolute power."

He turned his gaze toward Fang Chen. "Are you going to negotiate or not?"

Fang Chen shook his head. "No."

He pulled out a Saint Blood Bodhi and tossed it straight into Saint Long's gaping mouth.

Saint Long froze for a moment. His eyes widened in disbelief. "This taste... a Saint Blood Bodhi?!"

Saint Blood Bodhi?!

A few people present shifted their gazes toward Fang Chen, their eyes filled with shock.

Lang Daochun was astounded. "A Saint Blood Bodhi?! How could you possibly have something like that?!"

Shao Mengyuan murmured blankly to himself, "It must be nurtured using the blood of a Saint before there is even a chance of producing a Saint Blood Bodhi. In the past, among certain Saint Races, whenever a Saint was on the verge of passing away, they would use their own blood essence to nourish a Saint Blood Bodhi. Producing even a single one would bring immense benefits to the entire race. But in the Nine Realms... where on earth would you find a Saint?"

Among everyone present, very few knew about Saint Blood Bodhis. Although the rest didn't understand what a Saint Blood Bodhi was, they could infer it was something extraordinary from the reactions of Saint Long and the others.

"So that is how it is! Saint Long has somehow reestablished a connection with his previous Inner Domain. With the support of a Saint Blood Bodhi, given his experience and talent, he could very well break through to the Saint Realm!" murmured a ninth-transformation immortal to himself.

"No matter how weak, a Saint isn't someone five pseudo Half-Saints could compete with...."

"So he actually had something like that. No wonder...." Chen Feifei murmured.

A smile gradually appeared on his face.

The expressions of the five great demonic beasts changed slightly.

"What exactly is a Saint Blood Bodhi?"

Saint Long's reaction gave them an ominous feeling. But when they noticed that his aura seemed no different from before, they immediately relaxed.

"What exactly is a Saint Blood Bodhi?"

Saint Long suddenly grinned. His aura began climbing rapidly, one level after another. Behind him, Longsheng City grew increasingly solid.

Not good!

A sharp gleam flashed through the eyes of the five demonic beasts. They immediately stopped holding anything back. Their full power erupted, and the might of their Inner Domains surged by several degrees. Had this happened earlier, it would have been more than enough to overwhelm Saint Long in an instant. But now, it seemed they were already too late.

Saint Long's rapidly increasing power not only neutralized their sudden increase in strength. It even began to suppress them! And within that power, qualitative transformation had begun!

Saint Long threw his head back and laughed. "I'll show you what a Saint Blood Bodhi is!"

The terrifying power of his Inner Domain surged like a ten-thousand-foot tsunami. The five great demonic beasts were blasted backward, driven all the way into the depths of the God Dao Sect.

The once-beautiful valley had already been reduced to ruins. The peach blossoms covering the mountains had long since vanished. The long staircase leading toward the sect gates had been completely obliterated. Even nearly half of the entire God Dao Sect was reduced to wasteland by that single strike!

The ninth-transformation immortals who had been hiding in the distance saw this sudden reversal. Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately led their disciples forward, charging toward the battlefield with excited roars!

"We are coming!"
