CHAPTER 358: CHAPTER 213: FALLEN SAINT GREAT FORMATION! CONSPIRACY REVEALED! (8000 WORDS)_3

Shadow Fiend suddenly interrupted, "Who do you think will arrive first?"

Yun Wuxin paused, his expression unchanged as he said, "I’m not sure, but it will most likely be those old men from the Taixu Cave Heaven. They value this treasured sprout the most..."

Before he could finish speaking, the void trembled. A figure appeared, his hair and beard stark white, exuding the bearing of an immortal.

"It seems you guessed wrong," Shadow Fiend said slowly.

"Is it really you?" Yun Wuxin was surprised. The person who had arrived was actually Tao Fan.

"That line should be mine... Fellow Daoist Yun, as a senior of the Longhu Cave Heaven, you are highly esteemed and respected. How could you have fallen so far as to become a pawn of the Demon Race?" Tao Fan stared at Yun Wuxin, his face a mask of deep disappointment.

"Ha, esteemed and respected? So what? I’m still eternally trapped in this cage, aren’t I?" Yun Wuxin sneered, his eyes filled with suspicion. "What, you came alone?"

"I alone am enough to deal with you," Tao Fan said calmly.

"Arrogant!" Yun Wuxin attacked at once. Chains of law surged around him as a sky full of runes blotted out the sun. They transformed into endless divine thunder, instantly piercing through tens of thousands of miles of the void.

The thunder transformed into a Domain, enveloping both him and Tao Fan. Terrifying peals of thunder exploded as fierce lightning completely swallowed the area. Any movement within was difficult to detect.

"Why is it just you? Why have you come now? What about the others?" Yun Wuxin transmitted his voice via Divine Sense, putting on a brave front and using the curtain of thunderous light as a cover, not truly committing to an attack.

This was all different from the plan. Not only was the number of people wrong, but the timing was completely off, making him uneasy.

"They... will be here shortly!" Tao Fan’s expression was emotionless, and his reaction was strange. He raised his hand, and runes transformed into endless chains that shot across the sky. With impressive momentum, they shattered the void.

Yun Wuxin’s pupils shrank. This strike was genuine, holding nothing back. A chill went down his spine.

Has this old fellow gone mad? Is he actually trying to kill me?

Just then, a voice pierced the void, branding itself upon Yun Wuxin’s Divine Sense.

"Senior, be careful! The plan has been exposed. The person before you is a True Demon, and your identity has been revealed!"

Upon hearing these words, Yun Wuxin’s expression changed drastically. He stared at the Tao Fan before him, whose originally genial, immortal-like face now held an unprecedentedly sinister aura.

He reacted with extreme speed, unleashing his full power in an instant. The infinite light of thunder before him formed a Thunder Abyss to block his opponent’s attack.

BOOM!

In an instant, vast swaths of the void were annihilated. The world fell silent, devoid of light, as everything was swallowed by the impact.

On the ground below, countless Desolate Spirits were caught in the aftershock, reduced to dust that scattered across the land.

Two figures stood in opposition within the void.

"You dare to betray me!" Yun Wuxin roared. His hair and beard stood on end as endless thunder transformed into a roiling sea of lightning. Thunder Dragons and great serpents coiled and writhed at his feet.

"It is you who betrayed us, Fellow Daoist Yun! I am here to act on behalf of heaven!" Tao Fan said with a smile. His expression was still amiable, yet it sent a chill down the spine.

"You son of a bitch! How can you face the ancestors of your Mount Shu Immortal Sect?" Yun Wuxin trembled with rage.

"You act for your so-called justice, while I act for freedom. In that, neither of us is wrong..." Tao Fan was serene, as if he had seen through everything.

"If I remember correctly, you joined the Holy Realm of your own volition to become one of the Watchers!" Yun Wuxin said, staring at him.

"Yes!" Tao Fan didn’t deny it. His eyes were profound as the runes around him billowed into a surging sea. "But now I regret it. When I was younger, I was naive. I thought that as long as I was contributing to the Human Race, even death was nothing to fear.

"But later, I realized that something truly exists in this world that is more terrifying than death.

"That something is to live—to live without a shred of hope..."

"Is this your reason for betraying the Human Race?" Yun Wuxin scoffed.

"How could I betray the Human Race?" Tao Fan laughed. "Everyone will only know me as a Watcher, acting on behalf of heaven. As for your betrayal of the Human Race? I have all the evidence I need!"

"Stop wasting words with him. Take him down and prepare to activate the Fallen Saint Formation..." Shadow Fiend’s voice echoed from a distance, urging a swift end to the fight.

Tao Fan fell silent. His Mana surged, subtly forming a world of its own around him. An immense pressure descended, threatening to suppress Yun Wuxin on the spot.

"You think you can kill me?" Yun Wuxin erupted with astonishing power. A tidal wave of thunder surged forth, forming countless Thunder Dragons that tore the heavens and the earth apart, showing no sign of being at a disadvantage.

"Your Realm has always been inferior to mine, let alone now!" Tao Fan was confident. A Demon Pattern suddenly appeared on his brow, resembling a vertical eye that slowly began to open.

RUMBLE!

Instantly, Demonic Qi swelled like the sea, coalescing into the phantom of an ancient kingdom. The shadow of the Ancient Rakshasa Demon Kingdom descended upon the void.

Tao Fan’s aura soared, as if he had become a supreme Demon God.

With a flip of his palm, the entire void was obliterated. Countless Thunder Dragons instantly crumbled to pieces.

Yun Wuxin’s pupils contracted. He spat out a golden, serpent-headed spear that radiated divine light. The soaring thunder around it gathered into a golden mountain, which then smashed into the phantom of the ancient kingdom.

The world shook, and the stars lost their light.

On the ground, numerous mountains crumbled. Countless Desolate Spirits were swept up in the aftershock and turned into dust, leaving only their glowing spiritual essence to disperse.

The power of both Saints was terrifying. The Longhu Saint’s offensive Thunder Technique was especially awe-inspiring.

However, the Demon Pattern on Tao Fan’s forehead was clearly extraordinary. It greatly enhanced his power, allowing him to suppress Yun Wuxin. The disadvantage grew wider and wider.

"Accept your fate! Stop struggling!" Tao Fan roared, his hair and beard flying wildly. His previous gentle demeanor was gone, replaced by a body erupting with Demonic Light. His heart had already been lost to the demonic path; his saintly will had long since collapsed.

The terrifying Demon Kingdom swelled, crushing the void as it pressed down.
