Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1719: Chapter 1758: Who Is the Asura Saint Son?

The master of the Demoness, isn’t it the Asura Saint Son?

He’s coming?

Jiang Fan’s gaze flickered intensely; this jade piece was left before the battle with the Compassionate Sage, and quite some time has passed.

The Asura Saint Son is probably arriving soon.

No, he might already be here, but he’s apprehensive of the Hell Realm Master’s avatar and doesn’t dare show up.

He sensed a great crisis and suddenly stood up.

The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner opened his eyes and asked in surprise, "What’s wrong?"

Jiang Fan suppressed the shock on his face, pretending to be nonchalant, "I have finished my cultivation. The building owner and the venerables can continue cultivating here."

"I will go to the Qintian Bureau to meet up with our friends from Taicang State."

"Farewell!"

With those words, he packed the Hell Beast and immediately performed Instantaneous Movement.

The Asura Saint Son is even more ruthless than the Compassionate Sage.

The Ice and Fire Demon Lord merely prepared to gather intelligence on him and was thrown into the void, barely surviving.

If he encounters the venerables, he might kill them effortlessly.

What he needs to do now is rush to the continent.

As the Demoness said, the only place that can protect him is the continent where sages stop!

Soon after, he successfully arrived at the seven cities of Heavenly Abyss.

A long crack divided the Returning Ruins State into the Eastern and Western Continent, the Western Continent belonging to the Human Clan, and the Eastern Continent to the Half-Giant.

From today, this boundary will be erased.

Jiang Fan crossed over the crack, but suddenly, underground, there was a rumbling sound.

Immediately, a cracking sound of the world barrier breaking was heard.

Jiang Fan’s hairs stood on end!

Has the Asura Saint Son chased him here?

As a crack in the void was torn open, an elder dressed in a Hundred Patched Robe, emitting a foul odor, burst out from the void, looking like a beggar.

It was Tianluo Sage!

He was the earliest suspect Jiang Fan had for being the Asura Saint Son.

Now, after the Demoness’s reminder, he appeared right after.

Who would believe he isn’t the Asura Saint Son?

Further convincing Jiang Fan was.

He flashed to Jiang Fan’s front, his pair of deep-set eyes staring straight at Jiang Fan, saying:

"Kid, give me the ’Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture’, and I’ll give you some benefits!"

There’s no more pretense!

By now, Jiang Fan has already understood part of the Asura Saint Son’s purpose in Central Earth.

That is to follow the Buddha’s past path, quell the dead spirits through ’Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture’ and absorb unlimited merit power.

Successfully ascend to the position of the Three Calamities Sage Realm or even enter the Saint Realm!

The battle in Central Earth failed a thousand years ago, leading to Central Earth facing an extinction crisis this time, with billions of lives perishing.

If one possesses the ’Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture’ and absolves all the dead spirits, how much merit would that be?

Entering the Saint Realm through this is no mere alarmist talk.

Someone insightful in the Hell Realm saw this, thus sending the Asura Saint Son to Central Earth to seize this massive millennium opportunity.

But, the Asura Saint Son missed two points.

One is the loss of the ’Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture’.

Two is Central Earth’s victory, with some casualties but not as massive as expected, making further progress in the Wise Man Realm difficult, let alone entering the Saint Realm.

This is why the Asura Saint Son risked exposure and secretly influenced the White Horse Temple and Jian Family to help find the ’Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture’.

However, what Jiang Fan couldn’t understand was.

Since the ’Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture’ had lost its expected function, why does the Asura Saint Son still relentlessly pursue him?

Now, he should be leaving Central Earth quickly and fleeing back to the Hell Realm.

If he stays, his identity is bound to be uncovered, and he won’t be able to leave when the time comes.

"Kid, why are you hesitating?" Tianluo Sage urged, looking somewhat anxious.

Jiang Fan’s gaze flickered, saying, "Senior, don’t worry, junior will fetch it for you immediately."

With a thought, the nine-colored crystal in the Space Storage Device began to shake.

But just at this moment.

From the void fissure that was about to heal, two sage auras simultaneously emerged!

One was the Red Face Sage, and the other was Wan Yun Sage.

Seeing their arrival, Tianluo Sage secretly sighed.

Wan Yun Sage frowned, "Tianluo, why are you urgently blocking Jiang Fan?"

"Isn’t it to demand the ’Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture’?"

Tianluo Sage glared at him sideways, "What’s it to you?"

Wan Yun Sage snorted, "Don’t bully the young as a senior."

He flashed between the two, separating Tianluo Sage, "Ignore that beggar."

"What’s with the Compassionate Sage? Why is Spirit Rain descending on our continent?"

Their arrival greatly relieved Jiang Fan.

He cupped his hands and said, "To report to the two seniors, the Compassionate Sage is dead."

What?

The Red Face Sage gasped, "How did he die?"

Wan Yun Sage and Tianluo Sage were also incredibly shocked.

For the first time in a thousand years, a sage fell.

Moreover, it wasn’t in battle with the Giant Emperor but during peace after the war.

Jiang Fan didn’t hide anything, "Junior summoned the Hell Realm Master to kill him."

Hiss!

The Red Face Sage looked at Jiang Fan in shock, "You kid..."

He was so stunned he didn’t know what to say.

The little guy who was originally at the Nascent Soul Realm can now kill a sage.

Tianluo Sage and Wan Yun Sage’s eyes also showed a trace of apprehension as they looked at Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan said, "Without consulting the sages, I hastily killed the Compassionate Sage, please forgive me, seniors..."

The Red Face Sage waved his hand, "No need to explain, we three came to resolve the Compassionate issue."

"What he did did not qualify him as a sage!"

"Just didn’t expect he’d die by your hand, given his character, he’d probably be extremely unwilling and aggrieved."

Jiang Fan suddenly realized the three sages came to resolve the Compassionate issue.

That old dog had already provoked universal outrage, and the sages couldn’t tolerate him anymore.

He felt relieved but glanced at Tianluo Sage, his expression turning heavy again.

With the poisonous tumor of Compassion resolved, it’s time to ferret out the Asura Saint Son.

He stared at Tianluo Sage and bowed, saying, "Two seniors, please investigate Tianluo Sage thoroughly."

"Junior suspects he is the Asura Saint Son from the Hell Realm!"

Hmm?

The Red Face Sage and Wan Yun Sage frowned, showing confusion.

Obviously, they had never heard of the Asura Saint Son.

Jiang Fan said, "As junior knows, a son of an Asura Emperor from the Hell Realm infiltrated Central Earth eight hundred years ago."

"Now, he has become one of the sages."

What?

The Red Face Sage and Wan Yun Sage were both shocked.

Wan Yun Sage gasped, "Is that possible?"

The Red Face Sage also felt chills, "Are you saying we fought side by side with an Asura Saint Son?"

"No, at the final battle, the situation was so precarious, if he’d betrayed us, our sages at Central Earth would’ve been utterly defeated!"

Jiang Fan continued to stare at Tianluo Sage, saying:

"We must thank Xingyuan Venerable who invited that suspected Saint Realm senior for Central Earth!"

"His intervention intimidated the Asura Saint Son; before confirming his complete departure, the Asura Saint Son didn’t dare act recklessly."

The Red Face Sage and Wan Yun Sage exchanged glances, seeing the growing seriousness in each other’s eyes.

Jiang Fan’s words are likely true!

The intervention of that Saint Realm figure was terrifying; after the Nine-Day Giant Emperor was repelled, he didn’t dare show his face again.

Let alone the Asura Saint Son?

The two squinted, looking at Tianluo Sage.

Wan Yun Sage looked cautious, "Jiang Fan, are you certain Tianluo Sage is the Asura Saint Son?"

Jiang Fan nodded, "I’m not certain."

"But, he is the most suspicious."
