Chapter 177: The Life-Slaughter Demon Lord (17)
Another thousand years passed.
During this period, Su Chen's Killing God Demon Embryo reached a small success, and his cultivation broke through to the Saint King realm, shocking the myriad races.
Countless powerhouses died at his hands, and even the races behind them suffered his wrath. Many forces could no longer endure and formed the Demon Extermination Alliance to hunt him down. A Great Saint from the Dao Sect even emerged ahead of time, intending to nip Su Chen in the bud.
After that battle, Su Chen's figure vanished without a trace. He did not appear for several hundred years. This filled many with joy as they speculated whether this peerless fiend had finally fallen.
Su Chen had indeed been gravely injured. Even with the Killing Ancestor's intervention, he had nearly died while being pursued by that Great Saint.
In a secret ground of the Killing God Hall, Su Chen exhaled lightly. After several hundred years of recuperation using the foundations of the Killing God Hall, his injuries had mostly recovered.
"The Dao Sect was actually willing to send an old undying to hunt me down. They really spared no expense!"
The Quasi-Emperors of the previous great era had mostly perished during the Dark Turmoil. Great Saints were now the ultimate protectors for the top geniuses of major powers who competed for the Emperor Path in a great era. Every Great Saint was extremely rare—the strongest existences beneath that Emperor and the true foundation of their forces. They would not be dispatched lightly unless it was a life-or-death crisis!
Su Chen had not expected the Dao Sect to play outside the rules. In order to kill him, they had directly used their trump card. For such an expert to emerge meant it would be extremely difficult for them to return to the divine source for self-sealing. Coming out was essentially a death sentence; they could no longer return to the divine source to await the great era.
