Chapter 1501: The Dagger is Revealed

At the same time, the Burning Nether Holy Lord was still beating the shit out of the Rakshasa King.

However, his fists were so much slower and weaker than before.

The Burning Nether Holy Lord wasn’t holding back, of course. His power was just fading that quickly.

The Burning Nether Holy Lord knew this. The Rakshasa King knew this as well.

The Rakshasa King’s face slowly surfaced from the lava. “Stop wasting your energy. You cannot kill me.”

“I won’t know if I don’t give it a try, will I?”

The Burning Nether Holy Lord punched the Rakshasa King’s face to bits and kept punching.

“Fool.”

The Rakshasa King’s face reappeared. “Well, it doesn’t matter. God, demon, human or ghost, I will rip you to shreds when all is said and done.”

“That is my promise to you.”

As soon as the Rakshasa King finished, the lava abruptly took the gigantic form of the Rakshasa King and punched the Burning Nether Holy Lord. The Burning Nether Holy Lord actually staggered from it.

“It’s my turn now.” More Rakshasa Kings emerged from the molten lava all across the Rakshasa Land. They were all charging toward the Burning Nether Holy Lord.

In response, the Burning Nether Holy Lord raised both his fists and brought them down onto the ground.

My hand is the hammer, and the earth is my drum. Who dares to stop me?

THUMP!!!

His fists struck the pool of molten lava in front of him, but it did not elicit a single splash. Instead, it crumbled three hundred meters into the underground and created waves that brushed lightly against the lava surface.

Like mirages, the many fearsome giants that was the Rakshasa King abruptly shattered into pieces.

At the same time, a deafening roar exploded from the lava and kicked up a molten splash that reached thousands of kilometers into the sky.

“I told you it’s useless.” The Rakshasa King’s voice came from the lava wave. “You don’t have much time left. The moment you run out of strength is the moment you die.”

It was at this moment the Rakshasa King suddenly felt a terrible discomfort. Something had suddenly disrupted his energy flow. Before, it was flowing as smoothly as a river. Now, it felt like it was impeded by ten thousand mountains.

Worse, the discomfort was growing rapidly by the second.

Someone’s cutting off my connection to the Rakshasa Land!

The Rakshasa King instantly figured out the truth and the mastermind behind this. “What did you do, White Robe?” The only one who knew about his roots was the White Robe Demon Master, the man who had followed him for a thousand years.

The only one who possessed the strength and intelligence to pull off such a feat was the enigmatic White Robe Demon Master.

It could only be him.

He quickly sensed what was happening underground. He also saw White Robe Demon Master and the five Sages of the Profound Alliance.

“I’m sending you to your death, my king.”

White Robe Demon Master’s reply came from the sky. It sounded like he was smiling. “Burning Nether Holy Lord, I have cut off the Rakshasa King’s connection to the Rakshasa Land. Now is the time if you wish to kill him.”

“You dare betray me, White Robe? I will rip you to a million pieces!” The Rakshasa King roared as thousands of kilometers of lava boiled with rage.

“Hahaha... Have you forgotten about me, Rakshasa King?”

Right before the vast sea of lava would overwhelm White Robe Demon Master and the other Sages, the Burning Nether Holy Lord’s laughter echoed through heaven and earth.

The next moment, the god demon opened his mouth and inhaled. Like a whale swallowing the sea or a dragon drinking in the water, the sea of molten lava all flowed into his mouth.

It looked like the Burning Nether Holy Lord was drinking molten lava, but he was really eating the Rakshasa King.

After all, this sea of lava was the Rakshasa King’s flesh and blood.

Molten lava was boiling hot and not easy to drink to begin with, but this particular molten lava was the Rakshasa King’s flesh. Naturally, it was even harder to drink.

As the Burning Nether Holy Lord drank, his mouth became scorched black, and his stomach and intestines were burned through.

However, the Burning Nether Holy Lord could not seem to feel any pain or discomfort. In fact, it looked like he was relishing in the sensation.

The god demon drank like a thirsty man who found an oasis in the middle of the desert, and the lava covering the Rakshasa Land decreased at an exponential rate.

Eventually, when the last drop of molten lava had entered his mouth, the entire Rakshasa Land was emptied, Like an empty water cup, only a single, thin layer of ground was left. Depth wise, the god demon must have inhaled at least ten kilometers of lava. One could even see the sea water through the thin layer of earth.

“Now this is what I call a drink!” The Burning Nether Holy Lord wiped away the tiny smear of molten lava that burned through his mouth and fell onto his chest. If they didn’t know better, they would think he was wiping away some wine stains. It was as casual as it was impressive.

The next moment, the Burning Nether Holy Lord slapped his swollen belly like a satiated customer. But every time he slapped his belly, thunderous rumbles would erupt from within, and ashen smoke would rise out of his seven orifices.

A moment later, the Burning Nether Holy Lord’s swollen belly had returned to normal.

“Hahaha... you lost, Rakshasa King! In the end, I am the final victor!” The next moment, the Burning Nether Holy Lord let out a deafening laugh that echoed across the cosmos.

“The slayer of Rakshasa is I, the Burning Nether Holy Lord!”

As he laughed, dark green flames rose out of his body once more. It brightened and illuminated the sky in an instant.

The next moment, his body began falling apart bit by bit like damaged clay. His flesh, blood, and bones; inner organs and intestines all came tumbling out like an avalanche.

Before the chunks could hit the ground, they were burned into ash by the demonic fire and scattered to the wind.

It was an indescribable spectacle Empress Yue Su and everyone else would not be forgetting anytime soon.

“The Rakshasa King is dead, White Robe! We can stop the Rakshasa Seal now!” Seeing that the coast was clear, Empress Yue Su looked at the White Robe Demon Master and said urgently.

There was a reason she was reacting like this. Not much time had passed, but Danxia Zi, Sky Scorching Great Emperor, Sea Dividing Sword Sage, and the Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King were already looking white and breathing shallowly. It was clear that they had expended a significant amount of energy. Not only that, their consciousness were being threatened by the corruption of the five dark beasts as well.

If they didn’t stop soon, they would soon reach the end of their strength and spirit. They might even suffer mental damage and lose their cultivation.

“Not... yet...” White Robe Demon Master sounded a little weak himself.

“Why not?” Empress Yue Su asked angrily, “Are you trying to pull something, White Robe?”

“It is simply because... the time isn’t right yet,” White Robe Demon Master said very, very slowly and softly.

For a moment, Empress Yue Su’s consciousness blurred, and her mental defenses faltered. The next thing she knew, space twisted, and the heaven and earth seemed to switch places.

Although Empress Yue Su reacted immediately, she still wasn’t fast enough. By the time she recovered her wits, she realized she was standing where White Robe Demon Master used to be, and vice versa.

White Robe Demon Master wasn’t talking. His face was still hidden as well. Still, she could feel him smiling.

A very infuriating smile, too.
