Chapter 654: The Clash of the Devil Lord of Destruction, the Grey-robed Lord, and the Top Spirits

“Why is the Devil Lord of Destruction here?”

“Yes, he left a soul mark in the black bone claw. He must have sensed Cang Jue’s death and sent his power across space!”

A group of mysterious figures looked at the scene displayed on the light screen, all of them shocked.

Suddenly, a domineering figure emerged from the black bone claw, gradually converging.

Who else could it be but the Devil Lord of Destruction, one of the ten great demon lords of the demon race?

“What should we do? Should we intervene?” one figure immediately said.

“Of course we must stop it. Even if it’s the Devil Lord of Destruction, if he dares to extend his claws here, he must be chopped off!”

“Yes, so what if he’s a demon lord? He has no right to run wild in our Netherworld Palace’s territory!”

“Just a split spirit, and you dare to intrude into our Netherworld Sky Trial Space?”

Other figures immediately expressed their opinions.

This trial was organized by the Netherworld Palace. The Devil Lord of Destruction’s intrusion was a blatant provocation. They couldn’t sit idly by.

As for Cang Jue’s death?

What a joke! He volunteered to participate in the trial, so dying here was his due. Being inferior in skill was no excuse for the Devil Lord of Destruction to display his power here.

Just as the mysterious figures were about to set out to stop the Devil Lord of Destruction, a voice suddenly appeared in their minds.

Instantly, all the mysterious figures shuddered, halting their steps. They stood in respectful silence, listening to the voice’s instructions.

When the voice finished, all the figures responded in unison, “Yes, we understand!”

After the voice retreated, the mysterious figures did not move forward to stop the Devil Lord of Destruction, but instead continued to gaze at the light curtain.

However, excitement shone in their eyes.

They hadn’t expected the Devil Lord of Destruction’s astral form to alarm this master.

Now, there was truly something to watch.

And the master had actually told them to ignore the matter for now. Could it be that he had set his sights on the boy with the ghost-face mask?

A group of mysterious figures stared intently at the light curtain with anticipation.

Beyond the light curtain, a domineering figure, atop black bone claws, had fully solidified.

Its massive form, like a mountain several dozen feet tall, towered over everything around it.

“Is this a fragment of the mighty Yuanshen?”

The man with the elephant trunk in the distance shuddered at the sight of the enormous figure, his heart filled with shock.

He held a high position within the Elephant Tribe, and thus knew many of the secrets of the Yuanshen realm.

To be able to transmit power across the mystical realm, forming a fragment of the Yuanshen, required at least one who had begun to comprehend the laws of space.

The massive figure before him was clearly one of those beings.

Even a fragment of such a terrifying being could easily crush him.

Thinking of this, the man with the elephant trunk involuntarily curled up his massive body.

He dared not flee, as that would only make him more conspicuous.

The best option now was to minimize his presence, hoping this terrifying being wouldn’t notice him.

As for Daoxu Temple’s Daozi, he too watched in astonishment.

He had never imagined that such a terrifying being would emerge from the high-grade magic weapon left behind by Cang Jue after his death.

Although he couldn’t discern the true strength of this mountain-sized demon soul, he knew that even his master couldn’t match its terrifying power.

This demon soul’s true form must be that of a supreme being who had survived multiple tribulations of the soul!

Furthermore, it was closely connected to the slain Cang Jue. Perhaps it was sending its spiritual power here to avenge him.

Daoxu Temple’s Daozi couldn’t help but restrain his aura.

With his current strength, even at peak strength, even with such a powerful being, let alone his current injuries, he could easily be crushed to death by such a formidable being.

So, now he could only pray that this terrifying demon soul wouldn’t notice him.

Perhaps the prayers of the elephant-nosed man and Daoxu Temple’s Taoist master had taken effect. After the Devil Lord of Annihilation manifested his split spirit, his primordial spirit swept over them without so much as a glance, his gaze set directly on Lu Qing.

A resounding voice, like thunder, resounded, “Ant, you were the one who slew my son’s true form?”

“The true form? So, that demonic creature wasn’t completely destroyed, and some demonic consciousness remains?”

Even facing the presence of the Devil Lord of Annihilation, Lu Qing’s expression remained unchanged.

He had anticipated this scene, having previously used his supernatural powers to detect the message on the black bone claw’s note.

Instead, the Devil Lord of Annihilation’s words surprised him somewhat.

But then he remembered the demon cultivator he had encountered during his first encounter with Ye Qingzhu, who also seemed to have achieved rebirth through split spirits, and a sudden understanding dawned on him.

It seemed that Cang Jue had also cultivated this secret technique.

However, Lu Qing’s calm demeanor and the words he spoke stunned everyone watching.

I didn’t expect that in the face of a powerful being capable of transcending space and manifesting a spirit, he could remain calm and even dare to speak rudely.

This person was too audacious!

“Demon cub?”

Even the Devil Lord of Destruction was stunned by Lu Qing’s words.

He hadn’t expected that an ant would dare to be so arrogant in front of him.

However, after being stunned, the Devil Lord of Destruction did not get angry.

He wouldn’t let himself be unnecessarily emotionally aroused by the arrogance of an ant. He

indifferently gazed at Lu Qing, who, in his eyes, seemed as tiny as a reptile, the Devil Lord of Destruction waved his hand lightly. The black bone claws beneath his feet suddenly transformed into a streak of black light, falling into his hand and merging into it.

“Since you admit it, then die.”

The next moment, the Devil Lord of Destruction’s palm suddenly expanded, becoming as vast as the sky, nearly obscuring the entire sky. He slammed down with one palm.

With this strike, the world trembled, as if doomsday had arrived. Within a hundred miles, the Devil Lord of Destruction’s palm enveloped everything.

Although both were activating top-grade magic weapons, the might Cang Jue had previously unleashed was nothing short of the firefly’s fire, completely incomparable.

“It’s over!”

The elephant-nosed man and the Daoxu Monastery Taoist watched this scene, despair on their faces.

The Devil Lord of Destruction’s palm enveloped them as well.

With their limited strength, there was no chance of survival under such a terrifying attack.

“I didn’t expect to provoke such an old monster.”

Lu Qing sighed softly as he looked at the boundless giant palm that was crushing down like the sky falling.

The Seven Tribulations Primordial Spirit, coupled with a top-grade magic weapon, was so powerful that even he couldn’t withstand it.

It seemed that this time, he would have to use his trump card once.

“I didn’t expect that after all this, I would still fail at the last moment.”

Just as Lu Qing’s mind shifted, intending to activate the secret realm stone tablet within his Qiankun Qi bag and leave this space,

he suddenly sensed something amiss and looked up. He

saw that, above the sky, the immense, crushing palm of the Devil Lord of Destruction had, at some point, come to a complete standstill.

Furthermore, within a radius of hundreds of miles, all movement, even the very flow of the atmosphere, had come to a complete standstill.

But what shocked Lu Qing most wasn’t this.

It was the figure that had suddenly appeared between him and the Devil Lord of Destruction.

It was an old man dressed in gray cloth, with thinning hair and a slightly stooped figure. He

looked unremarkable, no different from an ordinary old man in the mortal world, struggling to survive.

But Lu Qing could see that all the changes before his eyes were due to this old man’s presence.

“Gray-robed Venerable, are you trying to stop me?”

At this moment, the Devil Lord of Destruction’s voice boomed.

“Jiemie, you’re overreaching. This is our Nether Palace’s Trial Space. You’ve overstepped your bounds by sending your Spiritual Awakening here,”

the gray-robed elder said calmly.

“I’ve overstepped my bounds. You tricked my son into this Trial Space, and now he’s dead. Shouldn’t I be exacting my revenge?”

The voice of the Devil Lord Jiemie rang out again, his tone no longer as indifferent as before,

but tinged with anger. “Your son came to the Trial on his own initiative; no one forced him. After all, he’s at the Jindan realm, and he possesses a high-grade magical weapon, yet he was still slain by a cultivator of the same realm. Aren’t you, the demon race, the ones who are ashamed?”

Facing the Devil Lord Jiemie’s question, the gray-robed elder remained calm, without a trace of anger.

His words caused the Devil Lord Jiemie to pause.

But soon, his booming voice rang out: “Everyone knows how my son was tricked into coming here, so there’s no need to waste words. In short, I’m going to take this ant away. Will you make way?

If not, don’t blame me for being rude!”

“Be rude to me?”

The gray-robed elder pondered the words for a moment, then slowly raised his head, a look of sarcasm on his face.

“Jiemie, has practicing your Jiemie magic damaged your brain? How dare you say that to me?”

These words stunned not only the Jiemie Demon Lord, but also everyone watching.

But the gray-robed elder’s taunts were not over yet.

“It seems that after surviving the seventh tribulation, your confidence has swelled considerably, to the point where you even dare to provoke our Netherworld Palace.

Believe it or not, I will destroy this spirit of yours right now, then lead my men to your Desolate Demon Palace, capture your true form, and refine it into a puppet?”

“Haha, destroy my spirit and refine my true form into a puppet, old man, you’re such a boaster! At your age, nearing the end of your life, do you think you can pull it off?”

The Devil Lord of Destruction laughed heartily, mocking him as well.

“Of course I can’t do it alone, but what if I summoned all the elders of our Netherworld Palace? Do you think you can withstand it?”

Upon hearing this, the Devil Lord of Destruction’s spirit body trembled, revealing his inner turmoil.

But he quickly reacted: “You, the Netherworld Demon Palace, dare to violate the agreement and launch a large-scale attack on our Demon Realm. Are you planning to ignite an all-out war? Are you worthy of the responsibility?”

“You can try!”

The Devil Lord of Destruction fell silent.

Although he didn’t believe the gray-robed elder would dare to do such a thing, his words were so reassuring that he couldn’t help but worry.

The Nether Palace’s influence was immense. If they launched a massive attack on his territory, even with support from other demon lords, he couldn’t guarantee he could hold out until that reinforcement arrived.

Most crucially, if the Nether Palace truly declared war on the Demon Realm, the human race would undoubtedly not sit idly by and would exploit the situation.

With both powers attacking from both sides, even the Demon Realm would be unable to withstand it.

With this in mind, the Devil Lord of Destruction began to consider retreating.

However, retreating like this would completely disgrace his reputation as a demon lord.

If the human and demon races learned of this, he would become a laughingstock.

Even the demon lords within the Demon Realm who were at odds with him would likely mock him.

For a moment, the Devil Lord of Destruction hesitated.

But the gray-robed elder was already furious, and he didn’t have time to wait for him to think.

Seeing that the Devil Lord of Destruction refused to retreat, he immediately grew furious.

When he emerged, he had already boasted to the other elders that he would resolve this matter.

He hadn’t expected the Devil Lord of Destruction to be so arrogant. Not only did he call him an old man, he even dared to mock his approaching lifespan.

The gray-robed elder’s expression immediately turned cold, but he was already preparing to attack.

“Devil Lord of Destruction, you little brat, since you’re so ungrateful, then leave your soul and magic weapon behind!”

With that, the gray-robed elder gently clenched his hand.

The next moment, a shattering transformation occurred.

The previously stagnant space suddenly shifted, transforming into a vast vortex, twisting and collapsing.

At the center of the collapse lay the Devil Lord of Destruction’s soul.

“Old man, how dare you!”

The Devil Lord of Destruction was startled. His black bone claws suddenly expanded, clenching into a fist, firmly guarding his soul, resisting the immense force of the surrounding space.

“I’ve already given you a chance. If you don’t cherish it, then go to hell!”

Upon seeing this, the gray-robed elder formed a magical seal with his hands.

Instantly, the spatial vortex spun even more violently, its power skyrocketing tenfold.

Under such a terrifying attack, the Devil Lord of Destruction finally collapsed.

Though a Seven Tribulations Primordial Spirit, what he had manifested was, after all, merely a fragment of his spirit.

Furthermore, while the gray-robed elder’s lifespan was nearing its end, his vital energy and blood withering, he was still a formidable being of the same level as the elder.

Under such circumstances, even if he wielded a top-grade magical weapon, he was no match for the opponent’s true form.

Sensing the intensifying spatial power around him, the Devil Lord of Destruction knew this battle was doomed to fail.

Helplessly, he could only sneer, “Old fellow, don’t be complacent. I will avenge today’s humiliation someday! But you can’t even dream of retaining my Black Sky Demon Claw!”

With that, his form shrank, igniting bursts of black flame, all of which he channeled into his black bone claws.

With the help of this flame, the power of the black bone claw suddenly increased, and it actually broke free from the constraints of the spatial vortex and rushed out.

Then, with one claw, it cut through the space, rushed into it, and disappeared.
