Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1774: Chapter 1813: Black Dragon Venerable

The Asura Saint Son laughed triumphantly:

"Jiang Fan, did you really think I wanted to kill you and allowed you to stall until now?"

Jiang Fan’s heart sank.

He finally understood why the Asura Saint Son publicly appeared in the Great Wilderness State; he was pressuring the top-tier experts of Central Earth to guard Jiang Fan.

Thus, when he killed Jiang Fan, he could simultaneously eliminate more than one Central Earth’s top-level expert!

Initially, only the Heavenly State Great Wine Sacrifice was guarding Jiang Fan, but unexpectedly, the Nine Nether Demon Venerable and Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable were also drawn in.

The blood-red crystal from the Asura Saint Son’s chest was like a flood breaking its dam, and the destructive force capable of exterminating all beings and restarting heaven and earth poured forth uncontrollably.

The Nine Nether Demon Venerable and Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable had no time to escape!

Jiang Fan’s mind was blank; how could he possibly survive the Nine Prison Asura Emperor’s strike?

The four of them were swiftly engulfed by the blood light, their figures completely disappearing within it.

Awaiting them would be to be dissolved into nothingness...

However.

Just as the Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable and the others foresaw their death, the blood-red light suddenly compressed dramatically.

This space was unknowingly surging with an ancient rhythm.

Looking up, they saw above them a multitude of colorful auspicious clouds manifesting from the void, with strands of thunderbolts rolling within.

This scene was not unfamiliar to Jiang Fan, and in surprise, he exclaimed, "Ancient Saint?"

It was indeed the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation who had helped him many times!

During the devastation of Central Earth, she hadn’t appeared, but now, in peril, she showed herself unexpectedly.

Under the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation’s suppression, the blood-red light compressed back into the Blood Crystal Lotus and calmed down.

An attack that had already erupted from the Nine Prison Asura Emperor was forcibly compressed back into a sealed state!

This technique commanded awe not just from Jiang Fan, but even the Nine Nether Demon Venerable and others, their eyes filled with immense shock as if seeing a deity.

Soon after, the Blood Crystal Lotus flashed out of nowhere from the Asura Saint Son’s bosom.

When it reappeared, it was already amidst the colorful clouds.

Vaguely, within the colorful clouds, the silhouette of a graceful woman flickered and vanished, holding the Blood Crystal Lotus and vanishing into the clouds.

Everyone felt as if they were in a dream.

The Nine Nether Demon Venerable took a deep breath, his cold, sharp face replaced by surprise, "In an era where Saints do not emerge, the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation appeared for us!"

The Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable pressed his palms together, his eyes shining with Buddha light, "Our Buddha Country has done virtuous deeds for millennia, finally moving the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation, bestowing blessings, Amitabha, well done, well done."

Only the Heavenly State Great Wine Sacrifice had a knowing look, striking unforgivingly, "Don’t flatter yourself."

"Even if you died a hundred times, the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation wouldn’t bother to glance your way!"

"She came for the Starfire Venerate."

Hmm?

The Nine Nether Demon Venerable and Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable both looked toward Jiang Fan, the former filled with disbelief, the latter deep in thought.

They did not doubt the words of the Heavenly State Great Wine Sacrifice.

Thus, they were even more shocked.

The Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation revealed herself for a Divinity Transformation Realm; was this the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation they knew?

Jiang Fan was accustomed to it; he had already stirred the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation to appear several times.

He stared sharply at the Asura Saint Son, "You better hope you have a second Blood Crystal Lotus!"

The Heavenly State Great Wine Sacrifice regained composure, his face fierce, his palm surging with the power of the Second Calamity Sage Realm, striking heavily at the Asura Saint Son.

"Wait a moment Great Wine Sacrifice, he is not the Asura Saint Son."

Oh?

The Heavenly State Great Wine Sacrifice, Nine Nether Demon Venerable, and Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable all abruptly looked at the Asura Saint Son, their eyes flashing with suspicion.

The person before them was not the Asura Saint Son?

Then who was he?

Jiang Fan coldly stared at the Asura Saint Son, saying, "The real Asura Saint Son would not risk himself."

"Nor would he be briefly controlled by my Divinity Transformation Realm soul."

"You must be a puppet controlled by the Asura Saint Son, right?"

The Asura Saint Son in front suddenly laughed, more crazed than before.

"Hahaha..." The Asura Saint Son laughed heartily, unaffected by the setback of the Cloud Desolation Ancient Saint stopping the Blood Crystal Lotus from erupting, seemingly more pleased.

A layer of flowing blood light on his skin twirled in chaotic motion, as if an invisible cover was torn open.

The next moment, the Asura Saint Son before them revealed his true form!

His upper body was a burly human, with black hair and eyes, displaying taut muscles on a bare chest.

His lower half was a long black snake tail, scales reflecting a dark shine in the dim light.

On the back of his head was a divine ring, bearing five flame marks.

He was none other than the Black Dragon Sovereign who had disappeared without a trace since the Heavenly Heritage City!

His black eyes struggled violently, evidently under duress from another consciousness within him.

"Asura Saint Son, you plotted against me!!!" Black Dragon Sovereign roared repeatedly.

A bland voice soon followed from his own mouth, "Blame your own stupidity."

"You dare use the Ten Thousand Spirits Ancestor Blood I gave?"

"No pie falls from the sky; even a three-year-old knows this, yet you, a dignified Great Venerate, didn’t grasp it and now suffer the consequences."

Black Dragon Sovereign was furious, "Asura Saint Son! You go too far!"

Desperate, Wan Yun Sage’s servant demoness found him, offering protection and gifting an invaluable Ten Thousand Spirits Ancestor Blood.

The condition was to help with a task in the future.

Never could he have anticipated that Wan Yun Sage’s true identity was the Asura Saint Son!

The Ten Thousand Spirits Ancestor Blood given to him secretly contained a trace of the Asura Saint Son’s own essence blood, and upon consumption, he was controlled by the Asura Saint Son through bloodline power.

"Hehe, even if you weren’t used by me, you’d eventually fall into Jiang Fan’s hands."

"A pawn should have a pawn’s consciousness."

The Asura Saint Son mischievously looked at Jiang Fan, saying, "It’s a pity I didn’t get the ’Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture’."

"If I had, it would’ve been perfect."

Jiang Fan coldly eyed him, "Where is your true self?"

The Asura Saint Son orchestrated a colossal upheaval with the Black Dragon Sovereign, with massive plots undoubtedly behind it!

Where was he?

What was he planning?

The Asura Saint Son teased, "I am of course in the Heavenly State, slaughtering the remaining elites of each state while your Sages are absent, hahaha."

Jiang Fan remained composed, shaking his head, "You are not in the Heavenly State."

The Asura Saint Son went through such great lengths, even deploying a Nine Prison Asura Emperor’s strike; the final goal couldn’t be merely to kill a few Divinity Transformation Realm individuals, could it?

The Asura Saint Son chuckled, "Then guess!"

Jiang Fan was secretly anxious; the Asura Saint Son was certainly brewing something terrible at this moment.

He must stop him!

But where could he be?

Where indeed?

His mind raced, countless thoughts interwoven in his mind, various bits of information merging and connecting.

Suddenly, a flash of insight struck his mind.

His face changed dramatically, saying:

"You are in Taicang Great State!"

"And further, in the Continent!"
