Chapter 356: The Main God Space (Part Twelve)

Su Chen's monster-hunting and leveling up initially went unnoticed.
As the commotion grew, numerous forces from both the Holy Race and the various factions were wiped out, and tensions rose sharply.
However, those who died were merely ants.
The news that truly shook the Holy Origin Continent was the fall of a Holy Race Saint!
A Saint...that was the strongest being on the Holy Origin Continent, representing supreme power and status. Even the Holy Race, which suffocated the various factions, rarely had more than a few dozen Saints. The death of a Saint with a name and reputation was a devastating blow to the Holy Race.
The Holy Race began investigating the killer.
Meanwhile, news of a mysterious powerful figure killing a Holy Race Saint also shook the various factions. They began sending people to search for the madman who had killed the Holy Race Saint. After all, someone who could kill a Holy Race Saint silently would undoubtedly become a crucial asset in their grand plan!
In the secluded valley,
a man in white robes sat by the river, fishing with a bamboo pole in hand.
The float suddenly sank, and the man cast his line, but the hook was empty.
Undeterred by his failure to catch anything, a smile bloomed on his handsome face.
"Senior isn't fishing for fish, but rather for me,"
his clear, cool voice echoed. A gentle breeze swept by, and suddenly, a graceful beauty appeared before Su Chen. Standing alone, she wore a flowing green robe, her skin fair and translucent, her eyes as black as ink—a peerless beauty. An aura emanated from her, enveloping Su Chen and isolating him from the world.
Su Chen looked at the newcomer and put away his fishing rod. "A saint of the Azure Phoenix Clan, truly impressive. You came to find me all alone; aren't you afraid you might never be able to return?"
The aloof woman's expression remained unchanged, her voice still cold. "If I were afraid, I wouldn't have taken your bait, senior."
Su Chen looked up. "You have guts. Speak, what do they want from me, using you as a condition?"
Looking into those calm eyes, the aloof woman knew that nothing could escape their gaze.
"We wish to invite you, senior, to join us in fighting against the Holy Race."
Su Chen said calmly, "Your offer isn't enough to make me fight alongside you against the Holy Race."
Su Chen's words made the aloof woman's face pale. She bit her lip, showing no anger, as if she had been prepared all along. She continued, "As long as you don't indiscriminately slaughter beings outside the Holy Race, I'm willing to be your sustenance."
Su Chen smiled slightly, "I have no interest in you. But it's not impossible for me to help you fight against the Holy Race."
The aloof woman suddenly looked up, her icy face revealing unbelievable surprise, "What else do you require, senior? We will certainly fulfill it."
Su Chen said, "Just allow me to meet with the person behind you."
The aloof woman even wondered if she had misheard.
The so-called request was so simple.
She agreed without hesitation.
......
Within the ranks of the common people
To resist the oppression of the Holy Race, forces of all ranks, from the third and sixth to the ninth, united.
In a secluded place,
Su Chen met the most powerful being in the All Beings faction, the one who single-handedly propelled the faction to unity—a powerful figure with one foot in the Saint King realm.
The Swordholder was the title of the strongest being. To be precise, he had no title, nor did he leave any trace in the world; others simply called him the Swordholder… wielding the last force against the Holy Race!
“The Azure Phoenix Saint says, ‘Fellow Daoist is willing to help my all-encompassing camp, but would you only wish to see me?’”
An old man with a full white beard, a large nose, and a red face looked at this excessively young youth, finding it hard to believe that someone so young could have killed a Saint of the Holy Race.
The Swordholder’s tone shifted, seemingly carrying the weight of the entire world on Su Chen: “It seems the Azure Phoenix cannot satisfy you… You have quite the appetite!”
The wind and clouds suddenly shifted, but before the changes could fully materialize, they dissipated with a roar, and the wind subsided, the sky cleared.
One Azure Phoenix Saint wasn't enough for Su Chen to break through to the Saint Realm... Su Chen had killed too many powerful figures in the Saint Clan's camp, including a Saint, which had already attracted the attention of the Saint Ancestor of the Saint Clan. That Saint Ancestor was an undisputed Saint King, and now that he had awakened, he would likely receive warnings from the God-Slaying Squad of the Main God Space. If he chose to continue luring and killing Saint Clan Saints, he would face an ambush. If he chose to wait... Su Chen didn't want to waste any more time in this world.
"You actually dare to plot against the Swordholder!"
The Azure Phoenix Saint glared at Su Chen, realizing what had happened.
The young man before her had never been after her, but rather the Swordholder of the All Beings camp!
The Swordholder was their last hope!
"Azure Phoenix Saint, stop!"
The Swordholder stopped the Azure Phoenix Saint from attacking. Even though the Azure Phoenix Saint was extremely unwilling, she still chose to obey the Swordholder's order.
Seeing Su Chen easily block his attack, a hint of surprise flashed in the Swordholder's eyes: "An extraterrestrial...you're not from this world."
His tone was certain.
Su Chen didn't deny it.
"If I were to lend you a hand, what are your chances of victory?"
The Swordholder wasn't angered by Su Chen's thoughts, but calmly inquired about his final odds.
"Ten percent."
Su Chen answered calmly.
"Swordholder, he's deceiving you!" the Azure Phoenix Saint cried out. A ten percent chance of victory...how could that be? Her only thought was that the young man before her was trying to deceive the Swordholder.
But just as she was about to make her move, a massive force suppressed her.
The Swordholder stared intently at Su Chen, seemingly trying to discern whether the young man was lying. However, no matter how he observed, the young man's expression remained calm and composed. This wasn't deception, but an unspoken confidence that commanded respect.
"I need you to promise to annihilate the Holy Race, and before and after that, you must not harm any living being outside the Holy Race!"
The Sword Holder's words did not refuse Su Chen. No matter how much the Azure Phoenix Saint struggled, he remained unmoved, seemingly having already made up his mind.
Seeing Su Chen nod, the Sword Holder smiled. He didn't make Su Chen swear any oaths; such things were unnecessary. He didn't know why, but he simply trusted the young man before him; it seemed they were of the same kind!
The Sword Holder suddenly whispered, "Actually, I am also a member of the Holy Race."
The Azure Phoenix Saint's eyes widened in disbelief.
Su Chen remained calm, as if he had known all along.
The sword-wielder continued to mutter to himself, "Perhaps you are curious why I, a member of the Holy Race, would help other beings destroy the Holy Race..."
