Chapter 1499: Rakshasa Seal
Translator's Note: Heads up, starting chapter 1700++ the author would, incredibly, fuck up his chapter numbering and continue to do so all the way until the end of the novel. I'll mitigate it as best I can but if you notice that the chapter numbering is wrong, absolutely definitely tell me about it. Thanks!
“Not at all. If the Rakshasa King was so easy to kill, I would not have waited a thousand years.” The White Robe Demon Master said indifferently, “It might look like the Rakshasa King is completely powerless and severely injured right now, but his roots aren’t damaged at all. He is far from scraping the bottom of his barrel.”
The Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King was going to mouth a retort, but the White Robe Demon Master predicted his reaction and interrupted, “Let me finish.”
“The Rakshasa King is born from the Rakshasa Land with the blood of the ancient Rakshasa God inside him. In other words, the Rakshasa Land is his parent and the source of his power. So long as this land is not broken, the Rakshasa King is unkillable and inexhaustible.”
“See that molten lava? They are created from the Rakshasa King’s body and bloodline, and they’re an extension of the Rakshasa King’s power. Right now, the Burning Nether Holy Lord’s power is weakening, but the Rakshasa King’s is barely depleted.”
“Now that you know this, do you still think that I’m talking nonsense[1]?”
Everyone blanched. If what the White Robe Demon Master said was true, then the Burning Nether Holy Lord would be defeated for sure. The moment he ran out of power was the moment the Rakshasa King launched his counterattack.
It was very likely what the White Robe Demon Master wasn’t just sowing fear and panic either. After all, they could clearly feel that the Burning Nether Holy Lord was weakening at a rapid pace.
If the Burning Nether Holy Lord could not deal the Rakshasa King a grievous blow, then what they were doing now were completely pointless. Even if the entire Rakshasa Kingdom were to fall into ruin, and all of its Strangers were slaughtered to the last, it would be completely pointless.
After all, so long as the Rakshasa King was still alive, the Rakshasa Kingdom would never perish.
And so long as the Rakshasa does not die, the Profound Alliance would never find peace.
In fact, the White Robe Demon Master declared that the Burning Nether Holy Lord had failed to inflict a true blow against the Rakshasa King’s roots. Assuming nothing changes, the Rakshasa King would target the Profound Alliance next after killing the Burning Nether Holy Lord. Looking at the strength he displayed, the entire Profound Alliance combined still wouldn’t be enough to stop him. They would become the fish the Rakshasa King could slice and dice to his heart’s content.
