489: Secret of the Holy Demon

333 Sacred Thrones mean that within the infinite starry universe, at most 333 Saint Kings can be born!

Some Sacred Thrones are hidden and obscure; even after infinite ages... no one can find them.

Others were seized early on, refined and absorbed, and fused into one to achieve the Saint King.

Even worse, some Saint Kings who have already performed Fusion with a Sacred Throne continue to search for more... and continue to fuse them into their bodies!

These people actually have two Sacred Thrones in their bodies!

Or even three Sacred Thrones!

This behavior is very domineering and selfish.

Because for every extra Sacred Throne you refine and absorb, others will have one less to absorb.

Walking someone else's path... and leaving them with no path to take!

This was the case with the Saint Demon.

It is rumored that back then, the Saint Demon comprehended the principle of the Sacred Demon Heart, achieved the Saint King, and found and refined two Sacred Thrones.

Refining and performing Fusion with more Sacred Thrones naturally has its value; not only can it squeeze out the number of other Saint Kings, but it can also greatly enhance one's own strength.

Because of this, many Saint Kings followed suit; if they found an extra Sacred Throne, they would directly refine it into their own bodies.

If others wanted to achieve a Breakthrough to the Saint King, they either had to find a way to search for those Sacred Thrones that had not yet been found or kill a Saint King who already possessed one.

By killing a Saint King and stripping away the Sacred Throne that had already been fused into their body, it could be used by others again.

Therefore, the Saint Demon was targeted.

Although the Saint Demon possessed two Sacred Thrones, the number was not too many, and his strength was not too outrageous; if one planned carefully... it was not impossible to get a hold of them.

Initially, three Saint Kings targeted the Saint Demon, and after some careful preparation, they made their move against him...

In that great battle, the Saint Demon was targeted miserably; many of his trump cards had been figured out, and many of his counter-measures were ineffective.

Moreover, the opponent actually had a Saint King who had performed Fusion with three Sacred Thrones, whose strength was already far above that of a standard Saint King.

After a period of struggle and slaughter, the Saint Demon was heavily injured and dying, and one of the Sacred Thrones in his body was forcibly stripped away.

Just as the second Sacred Throne on his body was about to be stripped away, the Saint Demon steeled his heart and chose to die; he and his last Sacred Throne both vanished into the infinite River of Time...

This left the Saint Kings who were besieging the Saint Demon shocked and furious; the Saint Demon had fallen, and they could no longer seize the other Sacred Throne.

Although an existence possessing a Sacred Throne would not completely die, if they wanted to revive... they did not know how long they would have to wait.

Perhaps ten thousand years!

Or perhaps ten million years!

On this massive chessboard of the Saint King games... the Saint Demon had almost been eliminated.

When the Saint Demon had just fallen, people would still mention him from time to time with sighs, lamenting the fall of a Saint King.

Gradually, the name of the Saint Demon was no longer mentioned, slowly disappearing from everyone's memory.

Today, only a very small number of people know about the Saint Demon's past; the secrets regarding the Saint Demon were learned by Li Qi through his intentional investigation.

The Saint Demon still has a Sacred Throne on him?!

After learning this news, Li Qi could not help but feel a hint of excitement, and his mind began to race.

He was now a Dao Source Realm expert and had also become a Dao Ancestor, mastering many Three Thousand Great Daos; the even higher Saint King was not too far a distance for him.

Since Sacred Thrones were so hard to find, he could not miss this Sacred Throne on the Saint Demon's person.

Originally, Li Qi thought that the Saint Demon's strength was formidable and that he was about to revive, which made him feel like he had a thorn in his back; so he specially came to the Origin Realm, intending to mess with those few Demon Generals to ruin their plans and expose the Saint Demon to everyone's sight.

In this way, someone would naturally take action against the Saint Demon.

Before the Saint Demon could kill Li Qi, he would kill the Saint Demon first... this was the strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf!

Now, this idea needed to be modified.

Sacred Thrones are precious, and everyone wants to seize them... Li Qi was naturally no exception.

If more and more people noticed the soon-to-be-revived Saint Demon and watched him like hawks, although the Saint Demon would be doomed, the Sacred Throne on him would most likely not fall to Li Qi.

If facing multiple Saint Kings, Li Qi had no confidence and could not guarantee he could snatch the Sacred Throne from the crowd.

"It seems I need to help cover for the Saint Demon now..."

"Truly, how times change."

Li Qi's thoughts flew, constantly thinking about the various details, weighing the problems he might encounter, and trying to solve them one by one.

Soon, a vague idea gradually took shape in Li Qi's mind.

Li Qi's speed was very fast; he used the [Divine Travel Dao] to constantly teleport, and in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Li Qi had crossed a vast distance and arrived at the Endless Sea.

Soon, Li Qi sensed several familiar auras and plunged into the depths of the Endless Sea...
