The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1923: Chapter 2020: Execution of the First-generation Demon Saint

Hearing the maniacal laughter of the First Generation Demon Saint, the four Exotic Beasts and Fang Lin’s expressions all drastically changed. They could already feel a terrifyingly strong aura quickly approaching the area.

Clearly, other Ancient Spirit Incarnations were coming to assist, intending to rescue the First Generation Demon Saint, who was in grave danger.

"Is it possible that we really will miss such a great opportunity?" Fang Lin’s heart chilled; he could only blame himself for being too weak and utterly unable to help.

The four Exotic Beasts were also a bit helpless. They had given their all, risking their lives in a death battle with the First Generation Demon Saint, but despite being once comparable to the Martial Arts Supreme, this emaciated camel was ultimately larger than a horse. After fighting for so long, they had only managed to severely injure him, but had yet to kill him completely.

The four Exotic Beasts didn’t hesitate for a moment. Even though they were all gravely wounded and on the verge of death, they again charged at the First Generation Demon Saint, heedless of their own lives.

"You’re courting death!" The First Generation Demon Saint sneered coldly, but in his heart, he couldn’t help but feel a bit apprehensive. After all, he too was close to exhausting his lamp of life, and if the four Exotic Beasts decided to perish with him, they could certainly achieve that.

At this moment, the First Generation Demon Saint immediately fled toward the source of Hidden Kill Hall Master’s aura, hoping to reach him sooner so that, even if the four Exotic Beasts wanted a mutual destruction, it wouldn’t be possible.

Just then, a streak of golden light shot over from afar. Before the figure arrived, a gigantic golden staff had already reached the First Generation Demon Saint.

"Kill!!!!"

A roar echoed; it was unmistakably the voice of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

The First Generation Demon Saint’s expression changed drastically. He punched out to block the golden staff, but his arms shattered under the blow and he fell downward.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven also retched blood and was sent flying, but his move achieved its goal: it prevented the First Generation Demon Saint from escaping.

The four Exotic Beasts seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and unleashed their last burst of power, obliterating the First Generation Demon Saint entirely.

"No!!!!" The First Generation Demon Saint let out a heart-wrenching scream before his death; he couldn’t believe he had died just like that.

Rumble!!!!!!

The earth shook violently. Under the joint assault by the four Exotic Beasts, the First Generation Demon Saint was ultimately annihilated. At his end, there was no escape from the heavens.

The Hidden Kill Hall Master, who was rushing over, saw this and increased his speed by several degrees.

Farther away, Fang Qingye and Mo Shouhe’s expressions also changed; Fang Qingye was happy, while Mo Shouhe was furious.

"Finally got him." Fang Qingye said with a faint smile, feeling a heavy burden lift somewhat from his heart.

Mo Shouhe, on the other hand, was livid, almost spitting blood in fury. Even though things hadn’t gone well for their Ancient Spirit Incarnations all these years, none had been lost until now.

But today, an Ancient Spirit Incarnation was lost, which was a great loss for the remaining Incarnations.

Despite the fact that Ancient Spirit Incarnations came from Mountain Tu’s ancient spirits and weren’t true creatures, they share the same origin. With the First Generation Demon Saint’s death, there was an empathetic loss felt by Mo Shouhe.

"As long as Mountain Tu lives, we won’t perish!" Mo Shouhe uttered furiously.

"Absurd." Fang Qingye shook his head.

····

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven landed on the ground, his aura depleted. However, he didn’t suffer any fatal injuries. Around him, golden light surged—this was the power of the Sacred Tree. When the First Generation Demon Saint appeared earlier, he too possessed the same power.

Fang Lin was deeply shocked; the Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s strength should be vastly inferior to the First Generation Demon Saint. Yet, he managed to block the First Generation Demon Saint, and his own injuries weren’t overly severe. It was hard to believe.

However, Fang Lin recalled that the Great Sage Equal to Heaven had previously been absorbed by the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, so perhaps he had encountered something inside which greatly boosted his strength.

Luckily, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven arrived just in time to intercept the First Generation Demon Saint, giving the four Exotic Beasts a chance to completely annihilate him and prevent him from escaping to the Hidden Kill Hall Master.

Fang Lin approached the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and handed him a pill, which the latter accepted without hesitation and swallowed straightaway.

After this battle, the four Exotic Beasts had also expended all their power, their injuries severe. The ground was nearly covered everywhere with their scattered demon blood.

Fang Lin sensed that these four Exotic Beasts were also in the throes of death, finding it extremely difficult to survive.

"Not good! That person is still coming!" The Great Sage Equal to Heaven looked up, and Fang Lin turned to see the Hidden Kill Hall Master in black attire appearing in the sky, coldly gazing at the four Exotic Beasts, Fang Lin, and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven below.

Seeing the Hidden Kill Hall Master, all of Fang Lin’s last hints of suspicion vanished; indeed, this Hidden Kill Hall Master was the same dark-robed man who appeared when Fang Lin was refining the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, and he was one of the Ancient Spirit Incarnations.

At this moment, even though the First Generation Demon Saint had been eliminated, the Hidden Kill Hall Master posed a greater threat. Unlike the First Generation Demon Saint, who lacked his peak strength and couldn’t survive long away from the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, the Hidden Kill Hall Master didn’t have such constraints; his strength seemed to return to its former extent.

Amidst it all, nearly no one could withstand the Hidden Kill Hall Master. The four Exotic Beasts couldn’t be relied upon anymore; they were expected to die very soon, and neither the Great Sage Equal to Heaven nor Fang Lin could be a match for him.

Although they had killed the First Generation Demon Saint, they now faced an even greater crisis. The Hidden Kill Hall Master certainly wouldn’t let them go easily, especially Fang Lin, the transcendent individual, who was the target of these Ancient Spirit Incarnations. Now that the Hidden Kill Hall Master had arrived, he was undoubtedly going to seize the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill from Fang Lin’s soul.

"It seems I’m still a step too late." Hidden Kill Hall Master’s face was exceedingly somber as he looked at the place where the First Generation Demon Saint fell, without leaving even a speck of dust.

This was also to prevent the First Generation Demon Saint from not being completely killed, lest he have a chance to come back to life. It was for this reason they so thoroughly annihilated him.

The four Exotic Beasts, though without strength for another battle, still watched the Hidden Kill Hall Master with extreme vigilance.

"It’s of no matter, you can be considered a sacrifice for our grand plan. With the transcendent person here, naturally, I must take him away." Hidden Kill Hall Master’s gaze ultimately fell upon Fang Lin.

Fang Lin’s heart sank; it seemed the Hidden Kill Hall Master was determined to act against him, and now things were truly troublesome.

Just as the Hidden Kill Hall Master was about to make his move, he suddenly felt a tearing pain in his chest, causing him to stagger and nearly fall.

"How is this possible?" Hidden Kill Hall Master clutched his chest, his face contorted, as he looked toward the distance, where he saw a small sapling standing against the wind.
