Chapter 145: The Slayer of Saints
“Dharmakaya’s Formative Power!”
Zhou Tong wasted no time and immediately unleashed his strongest move.
“Roar!”
A giant fist descended from the sky, carrying immense power, directly striking the target.
Zhou Tong smashed the Devil King flat!
Time began to flow again.
“Ahhhh!!!”
The Devil King let out a true scream of despair, his internal essence once again depleted completely!
“How could this be? I’ve been forced to this extent!”
The merged Devil King said in disbelief.
Having prepared so much, there shouldn’t have been any mistakes.
But fate often plays tricks on people.
Who would have thought that the Imperial Capital not only attracted three Human Saints at once but also that Zhou Tong, this monstrous figure, appeared out of nowhere, causing them to fail.
“You will fail, simply because you made one very simple mistake.”
Zhou Tong looked down from above.
“And that is you angered me!”
As soon as he spoke, the merged Devil King twisted back to his original form, completely losing his rationality, and began to launch a frenzied counterattack.
“You little brat, how dare you speak so boldly!”
However, in front of Zhou Tong, this was merely futile struggle.
“Roar!”
Xiao Bai struck with a heavy punch, bypassing the body and hitting the opponent’s Dharmakaya.
This blow was like a crushing tide, accompanied by the crisp sound of shattering, as numerous cracks appeared on the fused Dharmakaya, quickly spreading and expanding.
“It’s impossible, I am a dignified Devil King… a dignified Devil King!!”
“Boom!!”
The Dharmakaya exploded, and the merged Devil King’s body also detonated simultaneously, transforming back into three Celestial Kings, looking like stray dogs dragging their broken bodies, desperately trying to escape.
“They cannot be allowed to escape!”
Seeing this scene, the crowd was filled with indignation and shouted eagerly.
The Sword Saint and You Jingfeng were also prepared to take action.
Having paid such a great price, they absolutely had to keep these three Celestial Kings.
“Don’t worry, they can’t escape.”
Zhou Tong approached the two, smirking, calm and composed.
At that moment, the ruins below suddenly exploded, an unparalleled aura surged forth, mingled with nine-colored divine light, sealing off this realm!
“This is…”
The crowd stared in shock, unable to believe their eyes.
The fourth Human Saint!
“I caught up at last, it’s better late than never!”
Zhou Tong said with a smile as a stunning female immortal stepped out from the ruins, waving colorful silks, overshadowing the sky, and forming an absolute realm.
In this realm, she could control the life and death of all living beings, including Saints!
“It’s actually her!”
Both the Sword Saint and You Jingfeng were taken aback.
Mu Ran Ya had previously only been a newly established powerful figure; although strong, she was not their opponent.
But how could her strength seem to have surpassed theirs in less than half a day?
At this moment, the three Celestial Kings were in dire straits.
The translucent divine light sealed off all escape routes and was continually shrinking, compressing their space.
They attempted to break through forcefully, but as soon as they touched that layer of light, their bodies would disintegrate at an incredible speed, offering no resistance.
Under the terrified gazes of the crowd, the three Celestial Kings were confined within a colorful sphere of light.
That sphere was compressed to its limit, finally shrinking down to the size of a palm, held in Mu Ran Ya’s hand.
Capturing three Kings with one hand!
Though they were merely three exhausted Devil Kings, this feat was still extraordinarily shocking!
“Wait, we have something to discuss.”
The Seven Heavenly Kings spoke, wanting to negotiate.
“As long as you let us go, the Demonic Race will offer you great benefits.”
Hearing this, the Saints simultaneously scoffed.
What benefit could be greater than the lives of three Saints? Moreover, they had no interest in what the Demonic Race had to offer.
“You better think carefully, our status within the Demonic Race is extraordinary. If anything happens to us, prepare to face terrifying revenge!”
The Eighth Heavenly King had a fierce expression, trying to threaten the crowd.
“No need for more useless talk. Let me finish this; please have them meet me in my sword!”
Zhou Tong succinctly said, summoning the Black Sword.
“Six Combinations Annihilation Sword, Earthly Sword, Netherworld Furnace!”
As the Netherworld long sword pierced into the colorful sphere, the crowd only heard a series of screams, and the three Devil Kings perished simultaneously, their souls captured within the Earthly Sword.
“Saints are mighty; the Human Race will endure for millions of years!”
The crowd, filled with indignation, raised their arms and shouted.
Slaying the Devil Kings was indeed a remarkable achievement in the world!
“These guys!”
Zhou Tong looked down at the crowd, originally wanting to teach these people a lesson.
It was just that their motives were mostly not pure; they all wanted to monopolize the Senior Apprentice Sister, which annoyed Zhou Tong somewhat.
But considering their achievement in slaying demons, he decided to let it slide.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, the heavens and earth rumbled fiercely, and the Eye of the Great Dao opened, reappearing in the world!
Seeing this scene, the crowd instantly turned extremely serious.
Even Zhou Tong raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of a smile.
Saints are the true powerhouses between heaven and earth, each containing the fortune of the world.
If a Saint were killed, their fortune would shift to those participating in the slaying of Saints.
Moreover, the Heavenly Dao would bestow a baptism, announcing the information of the slayers of Saints to the world.
At that moment, a grand voice resonated across the heavens and the earth.
“After two hundred sixty-four years, slayers of Saints appear in the world once again, totaling four, namely…”
The voice of the Great Dao began to announce names.
Zhongzhou Sword Saint!
Zhongzhou Celestial Master Clan Saint, You Jingfeng!
Jade Purity Sect Master Mu Ran Ya from the Red Dust Mountain of the Three Pure Realms in the Eastern World!
And… the strongest Slayer of Saints, the Guest Senior from the Soaring Empire in the Eastern World, an unnamed figure!
Following that, the images of the four appeared in the void. No matter how far apart, anyone looking in that direction could see everything clearly.
“This kid is indeed the strongest outputter!”
The Sword Saint said, glancing at Zhou Tong without any surprise.
Zhou Tong, however, was somewhat astonished; the Heavenly Dao actually revealed his disguised identity to the public, which was surprisingly humane.
In the end, the rewards for the four were the most generous, each receiving a strand of Saintly Essence. This item was extremely precious and could be used to comprehend the Saint Realm or help a Saint become stronger.
Besides the four, the ten Semi-Sages who contributed the most also received substantial rewards, among them Qian Miaoyu being the happiest, as she was almost touching the threshold of the Saint realm.
Further down were the lower-level cultivators who had provided strength to Zhou Tong; they also received blessings, breaking through two or three small realms in one go!
Where there are joys, there are also sorrows.
In the distant Three Pure Realms, at Xuanhuang Mountain and Jade Purity Sect.
The expressions of the ruling elders turned incredibly grim as they saw Mu Ran Ya’s figure.
“This woman was clearly about to be crippled by her fire deviation, how could she suddenly become a Slayer of Saints? Did she perhaps break through to the Saint Realm?”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible! She is certainly just a bit player, nothing to worry about!”
Someone said confidently, but suddenly the tone shifted, becoming heavier: “But that unnamed figure, why does he look so much like…”
