Chapter 859: Chapter 794: The Eye Returns

“Yan Liu, senior!”

“Dominant!”

Seeing the black carbon shell around Yan Liu shatter and his true form gradually revealed, many present called out anxiously as he awakened.

Especially the Thousand-Eyed Rat King, who was the first to rush forward.

However, due to overwhelming excitement, the Thousand-Eyed Rat King had a thousand words in mind but couldn’t utter a single one.

At this moment, Yan Liu forced a faint smile.

After all, the previous attack by the Candle Dragon was because Yan Liu had already been completely controlled by the Outer God, striking as if Yan Liu were already dead.

So for Yan Liu to survive now was no easy feat.

Yan Liu said weakly, “I… am almost done for… this world… is also… facing… an unprecedented… great crisis…”

Saying this, Yan Liu glanced at everyone in attendance, and finally, his gaze swept past the very sad and distressed Thousand-Eyed Rat King, stopping on the Candle Dragon.

“What the All Things Path needs now is not a benevolent Red Dust Immortal, but a powerful one. Candle Dragon, can I entrust the All Things Path to you?”

From the recent battle, Zhang San could tell that among the supreme demons, Candle Dragon’s combat ability was truly strong.

This kind of strength isn’t like fighting back and forth with a powerful enemy.

But if Candle Dragon is willing, he can strike you before you even have a chance to react.

Zhang San even suspected earlier that Candle Dragon had been around Plant and Tree City near the Great Merciful Tree King, waiting for Li Moxian to finish before arriving.

After all, for strong individuals like them, it would be a shame not to spar a bit if they appeared together.

But if the two sparred in Plant and Tree City, the lives of many lower and mid-demons below would’ve been at risk.

In truth, Candle Dragon did not want to become the Red Dust Immortal at all.

He didn’t even want the Position of supreme demon if he could avoid it.

For Candle Dragon, defeating foes weaker than him is possible with or without the augmented power of Position.

As for those stronger than him, well… he hasn’t really encountered any yet.

So, something like Position, considered a treasure by many Great Demons and pursued for reaching the level of supreme demon like the Chyiou Flag, is nothing special to Candle Dragon, truly nothing special.

And now he has to not only advance beyond the Position but also take on the responsibility of the entire All Things Path.

For an old dragon who just wants to retire and daydream at home, he really didn’t want this job.

But seeing the remaining weakness and dimness in Yan Liu’s eye, he knew he had to agree.

After all, looking at the other supreme demons around, the Thousand-Eyed Rat King has the managerial ability to become Red Dust Immortal, but not the combat ability.

The combat abilities of Yellow Dragon, Deer God, and Niu Mo fit the requirement.

But Yellow Dragon, being a demon clan centered around family, couldn’t bear the responsibility of the entire All Things Path.

Deer God cultivates both the Path of Ghosts and Gods, although steady, but a Red Dust Immortal cultivating two paths is unheard of, and no one knows what consequences might follow.

As for Niu Mo, his intellect makes him barely fit to be a supreme demon.

Ultimately, Candle Dragon nodded reluctantly.

Seeing Candle Dragon finally agree, Yan Liu felt at ease.

“Candle Dragon, kill me now. When you kill me, I will impart all I’ve learned about the All Things Path and everything I’ve discovered about the Outer Gods to you.”

With that, Yan Liu turned all his inherited memories into a gentle white light that entered Candle Dragon’s forehead.

In the instant Candle Dragon received this information, his eyes grew moist.

For in this moment, he finally knew what Yan Liu had done for the All Things Path throughout the long years.

He also learned how bizarre and frightening the enemies this world would face in the future would be.

So, Candle Dragon realized he could not hesitate or be soft-hearted.

Even though he and Yan Liu were considered friends, he had to make a move against Yan Liu.

However, just as Candle Dragon’s hand reached for Yan Liu’s heart, he clearly felt a force called the rules of this world imposing itself onto him.

At that exact moment, countless tiny wounds suddenly tore open on Yan Liu’s body.

In each wound appeared a crimson pupil.

Zhang San couldn’t help but exclaim, “How many eyes does Senior Yan Liu have?”

Yan Liu seemed unaware of what was happening to his body, whispering, “Only one… Ah?! No, quick! Kill me quickly! Quick——”

At this moment, a chillingly familiar voice for Zhang San emanated from those eyes.

“Shub Nicholas, you still need my help after all.”

The instant he heard this voice, Zhang San recalled the time-burning curse he had once endured.

Yes, it was that eye!

And now, countless eyes on Yan Liu’s body were scanning, suddenly locking onto Zhang San.

“How are you still alive?”

Zhang San retorted angrily, “What’s wrong with me being alive? But you, with only one remnant ball, why are you still not dead?”

At this moment, Yan Liu finally understood why he had sensed a familiar aura on Zhang San before.

It seemed Zhang San had also encountered these Outer Gods before.

Fortunately, judging from Zhang San’s actions and condition, he hadn’t been corrupted and was very hostile towards the Outer Gods.

If that was the case, then his choice was correct.

Although Candle Dragon wasn’t aware of what exactly was happening, he recognized that the voice from the eyes was entirely different from the one within Yan Liu’s body before.

Could it be a new Outer God!?

Having received all the information Yan Liu had about the Outer Gods, Candle Dragon knew clearly that there wasn’t just one Outer God—exact numbers remained uncertain.

But each Outer God possessed unique abilities, nearly immortal vitality, and special powers to corrupt and influence other beings.

So, Candle Dragon immediately moved against Yan Liu.

But for some reason, despite his actions, everything around him slowed down to the point it seemed like the world was fast while he was the only one getting slower.

Could this be the ability of the eye-shaped Outer God?

At this moment, Zhang San also noticed the abnormality in the surrounding time.

He quickly took out the sealed Heart Divine Treasure from the Gluttonous Bag.

He threw it towards Yan Liu.

Yan Liu’s death had already become inevitable.

For Candle Dragon to inherit the Red Dust Immortal position of the All Things Path, Yan Liu must die.

This was the law of this world, unchangeable.

So Zhang San took action without hesitation.

As the eyes used their ability to slow down the time of all creatures except themselves, they could maintain an invincible status.

Unexpectedly, an object filled with his energy and aura was thrown his way.

Just as that thing approached, Zhang San detected and activated the embedded Rune Array.

Boom——
