321: Chapter 321 The Demon Lord

A Divine Soul that did not belong to Huang Zhang was attached to his body.

He had not performed a Possession on Huang Zhang; he had merely seized control of the body temporarily.

Lin Ming estimated it was likely Gao Chi.

With the intervention of a Nirvana Realm cultivator, things had become quite interesting.

Yang Qi filled the sky.

Although everyone was in the Spirit Treasury Realm, the power they displayed was far from simple.

Intent of Extreme Yang.

Under Gao Chi's control, the power exerted had risen to another level.

The advanced Yang Intent gradually suppressed these people.

"This is troublesome."

Li Yunfan also spared some attention for the other battlefields.

That cultivator who had never revealed his identity had been suppressing three demonic cultivators from the start.

Now, Huang Zhang was also showing extraordinary strength, reversing his previous disadvantage.

Meanwhile, Li Yunfan, facing the encirclement of two demonic cultivators, could only manage a stalemate.

If this continued, he would likely have no chance at the treasures in the vault.

He didn't care about other things, but he definitely wanted to get his hands on Ancestor Qingxuan's Legacy.

After all, this was what Elder Xuan had entrusted to him.

At this thought, a look of determination appeared on Li Yunfan's face.

"I underestimated these hypocrites."

Tao Jingxuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Caught off guard, he had taken a direct hit from Gao Chi.

His body was also tainted by this Yang Qi, and it wasn't easy to expel.

Tao Jingxuan had still underestimated them.

Not just here, Tao Jingxuan also occasionally checked on the other skirmishes.

The two people from Yuanxu Mountain had various defensive treasures, making it impossible to get near them.

Wang Feng from the Blood Fiend Sect was fighting one against two and was being suppressed by their side.

Then there was this man called Wu Er. He had brought him in personally, considering him a potential talent due to his decent strength.

But the strength this guy was showing now was somewhat beyond his expectations.

He was actually able to suppress two people on their side by himself.

This was completely different from what they had envisioned.

"We can't go on like this."

After barely avoiding Gao Chi's attack, Tao Jingxuan made a decision.

Things had already spiraled out of their control; if this continued, there was no telling what variables might arise.

Especially since a stronger cultivator from the opposing side had intervened.

No more accidents could be allowed.

With that thought, Tao Jingxuan made a decision almost instantly.

Tao Jingxuan immediately disengaged from the battlefield and rushed toward the statue.

Seeing this, the others understood Tao Jingxuan's intention.

They immediately pinned down Gao Chi, preventing him from interfering with Tao Jingxuan.

Seeing this, a playful smile appeared on Lin Ming's face.

Others might not know, but he did.

Or rather, Lin Ming had seen through it the moment he first laid eyes on the statue.

Within this Faceless Statue, a Divine Soul resided.

Although it was hidden very well, and the statue itself likely had some concealment properties.

But it couldn't be hidden from Lin Ming.

Tao Jingxuan's move was likely intended to awaken this Divine Soul.

The facts were exactly as Lin Ming suspected.

Tao Jingxuan rushed all the way to the front of the statue, a white bead appearing in his hand.

He struck the white bead directly into the statue.

As the bead entered the statue, a chilling aura—a soul-shuddering aura—emanated from it.

The fighting ceased temporarily.

The appearance of this shuddering aura caused the Inverse Demon Cult members to stop for the moment.

They all disengaged from the battlefield and gathered before the statue.

Gao Chi also stopped for now upon seeing this.

He looked at the statue with a grave expression.

A moment later, the Divine Soul power manifested, taking the form of a burly man in their sight.

"Greetings, Sect Head."

The group from the Inverse Demon Cult said.

"The last Nimo Sect Leader should have died at the hands of the last Wuji Pavilion Lord."

Wang Feng said in a low voice.

According to the Blood Fiend Sect's records, the last Nimo Sect Leader should have been suppressed and killed by the Wuji Pavilion Lord during the war that destroyed the Sect.

The Nimo Sect Leader then glanced at Wang Feng, who felt as if he had been struck heavily, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He couldn't even stand steadily, forced to drop to one knee to barely stabilize himself.

Just a single glance had severely injured Wang Feng.

"Blood Fiend Sect, heretics."

The Nimo Sect Leader said coldly.

The Inverse Demon Cult believed that the Demonic Path in the Qingxuan Realm had taken the wrong path, and top Demonic Path Sects like the Blood Fiend Sect had the most problematic paths.

"Sect Head, this person is from the Shangji Sect. The Wuji Pavilion has been destroyed, and the Shangji Sect has inherited the Wuji Pavilion's Legacy."

Tao Jingxuan said.

Only Gao Chi warranted such an introduction.

The others were superfluous in his eyes.

"They deserve to be destroyed."

The Nimo Sect Leader said coldly.

He wasn't surprised by the Wuji Pavilion's downfall; it had been expected long ago.

As for the so-called successors of the Wuji Pavilion.

There was no need for such a Sect to exist; let them vanish completely.

Then, the Nimo Sect Leader's gaze fell upon Gao Chi.

Their eyes met.

In that instant of contact, the two of them engaged in a confrontation at the level of the Divine Soul.

Invisible Divine Thoughts collided and intertwined.

Under this soul-level clash, the others felt a sense of suffocation, not daring to even breathe loudly.

They could only watch this scene in silence.

A clash at the Nirvana level, especially one involving the Divine Soul, was not something they could withstand.

Of course, with certain exceptions.

Suddenly, the Nimo Sect Leader reached out and grabbed a demonic cultivator, tearing his Divine Soul directly from his body.

He ate it.

Literally.

For the Nimo Sect Leader, these eight thousand-plus years had indeed taken a toll on him.

Although the Nether Soul Stone had slowed it down and the suppression of this tower had significantly reduced the consumption of his Divine Soul.

It had still been over eight thousand years; the toll on his Divine Soul was undoubtedly substantial.

Any miraculous elixirs or Heaven And Earth Treasures...

...soul-level treasures had long been exhausted.

But he had one more method.

These Inverse Demon Cult cultivators were the best treasures for replenishing his soul power.

As a demonic cultivator, he felt no such thing as guilt.

As long as he could survive, that was enough.

Besides, he hadn't planned on waking up at this time.

It was Tao Jingxuan who had forcibly awakened him.

Since he had been forcibly awakened, a price had to be paid.

Seeing this, the other Inverse Demon Cult cultivators selectively ignored it and silently accepted it.

The strong were revered.

In the Demonic Path, as long as one's strength was sufficient, such matters were of no consequence.
