127: The high priest was scared away

"Such dense Demonic Qi... this is the Demon Clan!"

"Demon Clan? This is the first time I've seen one after living for so many years!"

"Right? We all thought they were extinct!"

"To dare appear here so openly, they really aren't afraid of death..."

"Shut up, all of you! Didn't you see how solemn Immortal Venerable's expression is? The opponent is no ordinary minor demon!"

"......"

Saint Sword Spirit and Heart Sword Immortal Exalted had solemn expressions.

The moment the other party appeared, they clearly sensed how unfathomable he was. Although they couldn't perceive him, he brought them suffocating pressure!

"Demon Clan Great Priest... you are still alive."

Saint Sword Spirit stroked his white beard. Although his expression was solemn, he wasn't particularly flustered in his heart. He even sighed, "Thinking back, when my Master and your Venerable Lord were comprehending the Dao in the Reincarnation Hall, we even had a long chat together..."

Hearing this, the expressions of the surrounding people changed drastically!

Demon Clan... Great Priest!?

That first generation Great Demon who had assisted the Demon Clan since the original Demon God, was actually still alive after all these tens of thousands of years!!?

Many people felt a chill from head to toe at the thought of the increasingly irreconcilable conflict between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan over the past tens of thousands of years!

Could today be their death anniversary?!

"...Back then?"

The Demon Clan Great Priest seemed surprised that the Human Emperor Sword Spirit would say such a thing.

He seemed surprised for a moment, then a hint of a sigh came from the darkness shrouded by the golden-patterned black robe: "Yes, back then, our Demon Clan hadn't discovered the inherent wickedness of humans, and we foolishly befriended them."

"Our Demon God Lord even naively thought that humans and demons were the same... Heh, unfortunately, the Human Clan didn't think so."

"Old Sword Spirit."

The Demon Clan Great Priest's tone suddenly changed: "For the sake of your Master and my former Venerable Lord being friends, I won't kill you. As long as you obediently hand over the Human Clan's luck you carry, I can pretend I never came."

The Great Priest's voice was cold and distant.

It was as if it came from ancient times, somewhat out of place with this world.

"Hmph! Impossible!"

Saint Sword Spirit didn't hesitate at all, firmly refusing: "The Human Clan's luck on me was accumulated by successive Human Emperors. I cannot hand it over, unless I die!"

The sky darkened, and the cold wind was biting.

Hearing the golden-robed old man's reply, the hearts of countless cultivators around him turned cold, and their faces were pale.

It's over!

It seems they are going to die here today!

"Hehehe, as expected. Since that's the case, I'll send you to meet your Masters."

The Demon Clan Great Priest chuckled lightly.

The next moment!

Although he didn't make any movement, everyone suddenly felt a lump in their throat and had difficulty breathing.

Wanting to shout, wanting to lift their legs, even wanting to open their mouths...

They couldn't do any of it at all!

The ambient light was very dim. Although there were cultivators all over the mountains and seas, the world was completely silent, which was quite eerie!

Cold, bone-chilling, Cold...

This world seemed to have become a silent, extremely cold hell. Everyone could only feel their life force draining away in despair, powerless to do anything!

Lin Sheng pondered as he watched Heart Sword Immortal Exalted fall to the ground like a corpse, just like a mortal.

'This guy suddenly appeared, I wonder if the Heavenly Dao is subtly pushing this...'

'The move he's using now should be the Painless Rebirth from the Underworld Sutra. It can continuously absorb life force, which is the main reason this Demon Clan Great Priest has lived for so long...'

In the book "stars against the heavens".

Lin Sheng didn't specifically remember how much lifespan each realm had.

He only remembered that without the enhancement of other lifespan-boosting treasures, Great Emperor realm lifespan was about ten thousand years, and Immortal Emperor realm lifespan was about two hundred thousand years.

In many fantasy novels Lin Sheng had read before transmigrating, such lifespans were considered short. He knew that in some worldviews, Immortal Emperors had lifespans of trillions of years, while others had tens of billions of eons...

'But...'

'Why am I fine?'

Lin Sheng looked up at the Demon Clan Great Priest.

His figure was completely hidden in the darkness under the cloak, so he couldn't see his expression or where his gaze was directed.

Perhaps when he was looking at the other party, the other party might also be observing him.

Bang!

Faintly, a sound suddenly entered Lin Sheng's ears.

His attention was entirely on the Demon Clan Great Priest, so he didn't notice.

Until—

Bang!

Bang bang bang bang!

A series of sounds, like glass shattering or ice cracking, continuously exploded in Lin Sheng's ears.

He didn't dare to make any big movements, so he used his divine sense to scan the surroundings, but found that the surroundings were still completely silent.

Huh?

Where is this sound coming from?

This thought of doubt had just arisen in his mind.

Suddenly!

The dark gray clouds in the sky quickly split open towards both sides, revealing the dark deep space of the universe.

A vast pressure, like the sky collapsing, seemed to come from above the nine heavens and suddenly descended upon the earth!

Except for Lin Sheng, all the trees, flowers, plants, humans, beasts, birds, and livestock on the ground were instantly suppressed to the ground, unable to move!

"What!!?"

He saw the Demon Clan Great Priest let out an extremely surprised exclamation.

Then, as if desperately fleeing for his life, he turned around and swept into the dark vortex, disappearing!

His movement was as fast as lightning!

And it was at this moment that Lin Sheng vaguely saw that in the deep, dark universe—there seemed to be an incredibly huge human face occupying the entire sky!

He couldn't see clearly!

It was as if it was his illusion.

But he vaguely felt that the face seemed to be a woman, and a little familiar.

Lin Sheng looked up at the blurry giant face in the deep dark space for a while. It wasn't until the clouds closed again and the surroundings returned to light that he seemed to suddenly remember something and abruptly reached into his palm world.

Inside.

There was a quiet and peaceful Morning Dew Valley.

On the barren mountain outside the valley, sat a block of ice over two meters high.

The surface of the ice block was now covered in cracks!

Seeing this, Lin Sheng understood everything in an instant!

'That Demon Clan Great Priest didn't discover the Demon God Bloodline in my body, and he also wanted to absorb my lifespan to kill me!'

'It's just that the Immortal Court Empress is in my inner world, and she passively bore this power for me, which instead caused cracks to appear in the extreme ice that sealed her!'

'She hasn't woken up yet, but her subconscious is taking counter-action, which is why there is that blurry human face in the starry sky!'

Thinking of this.

Lin Sheng's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"She actually saved me..."

"However..."

Looking at the old sword spirit who was slumped on the ground, pale and full of lingering fear, Lin Sheng stroked his chin and began to ponder seriously.

The Demon Clan Great Priest should be healing in the demon nest at this time.

Why did he suddenly come out, happen to be attracted here by the lightning tribulation, and even attack without a word?
