Chapter 1920: Chapter 2017: Driven to Desperation
The four exotic beasts were secretly pleased in their hearts, but this joy only lasted for a moment before an unexpected change occurred.
Boom!!!!
The True Dragon was blasted away by an extremely forceful power, and even its formidable physique bore cracks.
Amidst the rampant golden flames and thunder, the primordial Demon Saint unexpectedly transformed into a mass of black aura, continuously surging.
"You’ve forced me to this extent, you’re truly impressive, but all of you will die!" The voice of the primordial Demon Saint echoed, filled with extreme anger and murderous intent.
The next moment, the black mass of aura reformed into the body of the primordial Demon Saint, still in its initial appearance from emerging from the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, completely unscathed, with power nearly restored to its peak.
"How can this be?" The Divine Phoenix exclaimed, unable to believe it.
It wasn’t just the Divine Phoenix; the other three exotic beasts were equally shocked. The primordial Demon Saint had clearly been pushed to the brink and severely wounded by them, yet now it had recovered as if nothing had happened.
This was hard to accept. After all the effort the four exotic beasts expended, the primordial Demon Saint remained unharmed?
Fang Lin was also stunned, his expression turning grim. Even he thought the four exotic beasts were about to win, but he didn’t expect such a turn of events.
"The Ancient Spirit Incarnations are indeed resilient. No wonder my father has been entangled with them for years without being able to do anything. It seems even when pushed to such an extent by the four exotic beasts, the primordial Demon Saint still retains a trump card for a counterattack." Fang Lin thought to himself, clenching his fists in concern.
The four exotic beasts exchanged glances without saying much or retreating. Reaching this point, they intended to annihilate the primordial Demon Saint in one go, for they couldn’t afford to stop halfway. Otherwise, if other Ancient Spirit Incarnations arrived for support, they would lose the chance to kill the primordial Demon Saint.
The four exotic beasts launched another offensive, now unleashing all their powers without reservation, while the primordial Demon Saint also fought at full strength, now almost at its peak, suppressing the four exotic beasts with ease.
In the distant sky, the masked observer continued to watch the battle silently. Seeing the primordial Demon Saint recover fully after being severely wounded, his face showed no surprise.
As an Ancient Spirit Incarnation himself, the masked observer was well aware of the powers of the other Ancient Spirit Incarnations and knew what trump cards the primordial Demon Saint still had yet to reveal.
"The power obtained from the Mountain Tu Ancient Spirit can only allow you to recover three times. Including the previous time, you have only one more chance to escape death," the masked observer said calmly, confident that the primordial Demon Saint wouldn’t escape this calamity.
The only concern was what price the four exotic beasts were willing to pay to slay the primordial Demon Saint and what desperate actions the primordial Demon Saint might take when knowing certain death awaited.
After all, such situations have happened before, and for the primordial Demon Saint, this wasn’t truly a point of no return yet.
The masked observer’s gaze shifted to another area, observing the duel between Fang Qingye and Mo Shouhe, a smile creeping onto his face.
"It seems Fang Qingye’s progress over the years has exceeded my expectations. Xuanyuan Ya’s foresight is indeed sharp to choose such a remarkable person," the masked observer remarked, no longer worrying about the confrontation between Fang Qingye and Mo Shouhe.
However, there was one place that troubled him the most.
That was the havoc wrought by the demon beasts and the impending awakening of the Hidden Kill Hall Master.
Being an Ancient Spirit Incarnation, the masked observer could not prevent the demon beasts’ actions nor hinder the awakening of the Hidden Kill Hall Master. Now, the only variable that could affect the situation was the Hidden Kill Hall Master.
If the Hidden Kill Hall Master awakened in time and arrived here to save the primordial Demon Saint, all previous efforts would be in vain, and many matters would need to start over. Finding such an excellent opportunity again would be nearly impossible.
The main force against the primordial Demon Saint was the four exotic beasts, but now it seemed they were struggling against the primordial Demon Saint. If it dragged on until the Hidden Kill Hall Master arrived, it would be truly disastrous.
"I hope it’s not too late," the masked observer sighed, his expression complex, contemplating thoughts only he truly understood.
As one of the Ancient Spirit Incarnations, he should have sided with Mo Shouhe to strive for the Mountain Tu Ancient Spirit’s return. Had he helped them, success might have been achieved long ago, as the masked observer’s strength was no less than the Martial Arts Supreme.
But the masked observer chose not to side with Mo Shouhe, having no intention of aiding the Mountain Tu Ancient Spirit’s return.
What he sought was to break free from the constraints of the Mountain Tu Ancient Spirit, to escape the shackles of being an Ancient Spirit Incarnation, and become truly free.
Alas, as one part of the Mountain Tu Ancient Spirit, certain things were destined from the outset.

Within the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven sat cross-legged, a black iron rod standing by his side, with the vast power of the Sacred Tree continuously flowing into the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and the black iron rod.
Behind the Great Sage Equal to Heaven stood a figure whose face couldn’t be seen, a hand resting on the Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s forehead.
"Among all the living beings in the world, only you, this monkey, have the potential to inherit my Supreme Physique. Truly, you are an Innate Spiritual Fetus," the figure spoke, their voice hearty, though the Great Sage Equal to Heaven couldn’t hear them. He was immersed in an incredibly profound state, unaware of the earth-shaking transformation occurring within him.
The black iron rod nearby gradually emitted a golden radiance, responding to the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
The battle outside had reached an impasse, with the four exotic beasts giving their all to clash against the primordial Demon Saint but gaining little advantage, suggesting a mutual exhaustion.
The primordial Demon Saint’s surrounding golden light began to dim slightly. Without the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree’s support, the primordial Demon Saint’s manifestation time was always limited, and after using a special ability unique to Ancient Spirit Incarnations, it faced the crisis of its physical form collapsing again.
Despite the great exhaustion, the hope of exterminating the primordial Demon Saint drove the four exotic beasts to relentlessly assault the primordial Demon Saint without fear of death.
Fang Lin had no choice but to retreat several thousand miles, unable to stay at the original location. Thankfully, he could see clearly with his continuously open Heavenly Eye.
Suddenly, the Message Transmitting Jade Slip in Fang Lin’s pouch responded, and upon checking it, his face changed color.
"The Tang Country has fallen!"
