Chapter 1553: Raging Demonic Flames
”This…”
All the Sinkhole warriors present were alarmed at the sight of this scene. Just a mere command made the demonic servants sacrifice themselves without even a blink of an eye. It was completely impossible to make human warriors do so.
In comparison, the lowly demonic servants were like mindless ants, and such unquestionably loyal enemies were even more terrifying.
”Could the Divine Master he mentioned be that god from ancient times?”
Eclipse Arhat's voice even began to tremble as he said this.
”Master Eclipse, what are you talking about?” Bluefeather Divine Lord was still unaware of what was happening.
”My Mahayana Monastery has records of an ancient god who devoured the Heavenly Dao. Back then, the Divine Lords of the Sinkhole martial world were like soldiers while Godly Monarchs were like generals. They gave their all in order to win that apocalyptic battle. I never expected that the demonic servants would make another uprising, and here of all places. As for us…”
Eclipse Arhat did not finish his sentence, but Bluefeather Divine Lord could guess what he was about to say.
If Divine Lords were soldiers while Godly Monarchs were generals, it meant that all of them would only be mere foot soldiers in that massive battle in ancient times?
This…
Bluefeather Divine Lord felt stifled. How could they put up a fight?
”You do know some history. That's right. Hundreds of millions of years ago, those mortals had indeed fought Divine Master. But how can mortals kill a god? Divine Master was only recuperating back then. To Him, all of you are just mere ants. You can be destroyed easily. Resistance would only be met by death.”
”And perhaps, all of you are unaware that the Sinkhole universe's Heavenly Dao is flawed. In this universe, it's impossible for you to become a Godly Monarch. Even if you manage to barely make breakthroughs, you would face the limitations of the Heavenly Dao. You would not be able to freely use your energy and would instead end up consuming your lifespan. Only Bai Yueyin, who broke through before the Heavenly Dao was chipped away, does not suffer this limitation. But now, she has also been killed by Divine Master.”
”What!?”
All the warriors present were alarmed when they heard Perfected Hou's words. Bai Yueyin had been killed by the Divine Master!?
Also, the Sinkhole's Heavenly Dao was flawed, meaning people were destined to fail to break through to the Godly Monarch realm? Even if one went to great lengths and finally became a one-in-a-trillion Godly Monarch, they would not even be able to freely use their strength. Then, what was the point of being a Godly Monarch? Apart from having a long lifespan, there was no other benefit!
Many people found it unacceptable, but when they realized that Eclipse Arhat did not retort the claim, and how all the other Godly Monarchs except Bai Yueyin had reclused themselves, they had no choice but to believe.
From the looks of it, what Perfected Hou said was true…
Instantly, many people seemed to lose hope. Not only were they infinitely far from the realm of Godly Monarch, they realized how meaningless it was even if they made the breakthrough.
”It's no wonder becoming a Godly Monarch is so hard in the present Sinkhole.”
Fairy Yourou gritted her teeth. She too had wishes to become a Godly Monarch. Although it was very difficult, she refused to give up that desire. But now, she had learned that the path to becoming a god had been completely barricaded away.
”However! All of you are very lucky!” Perfected Hou suddenly changed his tune. ”Now that the Divine Master is descending upon this world, all of you will have the chance to break through to the Godly Monarch realm. As long as you submit yourself to Divine Master, He will bestow you with the chipped Heavenly Dao, allowing your strength to be greatly enhanced! Heavenly Cosmic Divine Lord is an excellent example!”
”A fine bird selects its tree. Everyone present is an elite of the Sinkhole. You are the only ones who barely qualify to be subordinates of Divine Master. The rest of the trash do not even qualify!”
”Do you not cultivate your entire lives to travel the universe proudly and escape Samsara, so as to reign supreme over a dominion? Now, that chance is placed before you. The Sinkhole is already destined to fall. Do you want to be meaninglessly crushed like an egg struck on a rock, or do you want to submit to the superior being and gain a great enhancement in strength, allowing you a meteoric rise? It's your choice.”
Perfected Hou was using his most enticing voice. Some of the warriors present instantly wavered.
They realized that Heavenly Cosmic Divine Lord had submitted himself to the Divine Master. His strength had indeed increased tremendously, allowing him to severely injure Sacred Horizon Divine Lord with a single strike. If they submitted to the Divine Master, they could at the very least…
”Vile Spawn, you shut up!”
At that moment, Eclipse Arhat roared. It shook many people to the core, turning them bedazzled as they nearly fell to the ground.
Only then did they jolt out of their reverie as they gasped for air.
Perfected Hou had injected his psyche powers into his voice. They had nearly fallen for his enticement without realizing it.
”If you were really to sell your souls to the demonic god, all of the Heavenly Dao will be devoured when the demonic god gains possession of the Sinkhole. You will not end up any better. Perhaps you would be killed, at best left to your own devices! Now, we should unite and face this common enemy together so as to destroy them!”
As Eclipse Arhat spoke, he suddenly brandished the staff in his hand. It expanded when it met the wind. It formed a gigantic Buddha in mid-air as it came smashing down at Perfected Hou.
And at that moment, Eclipse Arhat took a step forward. He struck out with his palm across the void!
”Mahayana Wisdom Palm!”
Eclipse Arhat's strike transformed into a huge golden hand as he attacked Perfected Hou in unison with the Buddha in the sky.
”Hmph! You overestimate yourself! Since you have a death wish, I'll grant it to you!”
Perfected Hou took a deep breath as his body swelled up like a balloon. His muscles and skin were unimaginably tensile. It looked like he would explode from his deep breath.
”Roar!”
When his body swelled to a size ten times bigger than its usual, Perfected Hou suddenly opened his mouth and roared. His swollen body contracted abruptly. All his energy was converted into sound waves that surged out vehemently.
Instantly, the world seemed to crumble as it was rent asunder!
Wherever the sound blast passed, space itself shattered into fragments!
Heavenly Demon Perfected Roar!
With his maniacal roar, Perfected Hou released his lifeblood powers and churning demonic aura. This indomitable power contained a purely lethal force.
”Ka-cha!”
The Buddha in the sky shattered directly. Even Eclipse Arhat's Mahayana Wisdom Palm staggered as it came to a sudden halt.
”Die!”
Perfected Hou took a step forward as a bronze giant phantom appeared behind him. The giant's hands clenched into fists as they were thrown out like dual dragons surging out from the sea.
”Boom!”
The golden palm released by Eclipse Arhat was immediately torn through by the bronze giant. Yet, the punches did not lose momentum as they reared down at Eclipse Arhat!
He protected his body with Golden Bell!
Eclipse Arhat pressed down with his fists as he used the golden protective barrier to forcefully withstand the two punches.
”Bam!”
Eclipse Arhat retreated eight steps back as his lifeblood surged chaotically and his face turned pale.
He steeled himself so as not to collapse, but keen people could tell that Eclipse Arhat had suffered tremendously from the clash!
”That phantom is!?”
