Chapter 812 - 390: Backed by a Nascent Soul, Movements Exposed!

Chapter 812: Chapter 390: Backed by a Nascent Soul, Movements Exposed!

Behind Demon Lord Xing Luo stood another Late Stage Demon Cultivator, cloaked in a face-covering black robe so that his true visage could not be seen, yet the exposed skin shimmered with strange black-scaled light, and the eyes revealed outside were like demonic pupils.

This man was precisely the Branch Master of the Black Demon Lineage.

The Black Demon Vein Master saw the Demon Lord’s fury grow ever stronger and hastily said, "Demon Lord, perhaps there is one matter that is closely related to this affair."

"What matter!"

Xing Luo’s angry voice boomed down, as though he would erupt like a volcano in the next instant.

The Black Demon Lineage Branch Master was startled, "Over half a month ago, the Master of the Three Gates of Non-Life, and a Middle Stage Demon Core Demon Cultivator of my Black Demon Lineage, died within the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven.

According to the report from those under my command, it was the work of an exceedingly terrifying Corpse Cultivator.

Wherever his corpse qi passed, even Demon Pill Demon Cultivators would have their bones vanish in an instant, more terrifying than any kind of Demonic Qi within our sect."

"Corpse qi?" Xing Luo’s anger abruptly halted, then his Divine Sense continued to shuttle through the Demon Array, checking carefully.

It was just at this time that the Black Demon Lineage Branch Master continued, "And... the Demon Pill under my command also said.

That Corpse Cultivator’s aura was extremely terrifying; just observing from afar for one glance felt like seeing those Vice Sect Leaders.

Of course.

Far inferior to you, Demon Lord.

But he has indeed seen those Vice Sect Leaders make a move, so his perception shouldn’t be mistaken.

If it truly is so, then that Corpse Cultivator most likely..."

The Black Demon Lineage Branch Master did not continue.

Because he noticed that the Demon Lord suddenly furrowed his brows at this moment, and his eyes also narrowed, as though he had discovered something.

Immediately after, Xing Luo slowly walked toward the place where the True Spirit Divine Tree had once stood, slowly scooped up a handful of black Spiritual Soil that had been corroded beyond recognition by Demonic Qi, then stuffed it into his mouth in one gulp, chewing it carefully.

Ten breaths later.

Xing Luo spat it out; a heaviness appeared in his expression, but he said nothing, merely turning around, intending to depart.

Yet just as he turned, his figure paused, then his cold voice fell again, "What other clues are there?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The Black Demon Lineage Branch Master spoke again, recounting in detail everything related to Pei Wuxing’s situation, and pointed out that Di Shenhan and Pei Wuxing just happened to be at enmity.

"Pei Wuxing..." Xing Luo silently committed this name to memory.

The Black Demon Lineage Branch Master spoke, "Subordinate will immediately send people to seize this man; he surely knows some inside information."

"This matter no longer requires your involvement." Killing intent rose again in Xing Luo’s eyes. "Cast a Silencing Spell, and you may leave."

"Silencing Spell!"

The Black Demon Lineage Branch Master was shocked, but did not dare delay, and hurriedly cast the spell.

Yet he knew very well that for the Demon Lord to have him cast a Silencing Spell was far from so simple; combined with the killing intent that had appeared in his eyes just now.

It was obvious.

The Demon Lord had left him only one path to live.

As for the others who knew of this matter, their Divine Souls must all be annihilated!

"Many thanks for the Demon Lord’s great grace." After casting the spell, the Black Demon Lineage Branch Master bowed deeply, and only dared to rise once Xing Luo had completely departed.

Rising to his feet, the Black Demon Lineage Branch Master left the Demon Array and gazed around the entire Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven, his gaze finally falling back on the Demon Array.

Within the array were still his three sons.

They too knew of this matter.

Yet the Demon Lord’s order could not be defied.

"Forget it... they can only be blamed for having heard what they should not have heard; next life... after soul extinction there is no next life either."

As his words fell.

A glint of ruthless ferocity flashed in the eyes of the Black Demon Lineage Branch Master.

...

Outside the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven.

Xing Luo hovered ten thousand zhang high in the air, gazing into the distance toward the West Mountain Floating Domain, a growing solemnity in his expression.

"Previously there was a Ghost Cultivator capable of refining the True Spirit Demon Tree and even taking away the True Spirit Demon Tree Mother Tree.

Now there is again a Golden Core Perfection Corpse Cultivator who can even take away the True Spirit Divine Tree.

The situation is actually growing ever more complicated.

But regardless of what powers they come from.

A Corpse Cultivator who can take away the True Spirit Divine Tree—even if his strength is not above mine—is absolutely not someone I can handle.

This matter can only be handed over to the Upper Sect.

Can only be handed over to the Demon Monarch.

I imagine the Upper Sect Demon Monarch will also very much want to know the Divine Techniques by which a Golden Core Perfection Corpse Cultivator collected the True Spirit Divine Tree."

As his words fell.

Xing Luo could not help but let out a sigh.

Though he was now a Pure Spirit Root, and also an Upper-Rank Demon Pill, his cultivation had already reached Demon Pill Perfection, yet to attain the Demon Infant Dao Fruit was still as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Even if he were to be reborn several more times and spend several thousand years, it would be impossible to change anything; he had already reached the limit achievable.

To hope for another breakthrough was absolutely impossible.

Otherwise, how could the entire Lower Tongtian River region have only a mere dozen True Monarchs and Demon Monarchs?

Originally, he had still wanted to seize the True Spirit Divine Tree for himself, even if he had to spend a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, researching it.

If one lifetime was not enough, he would come again in another.

After all, the True Spirit Divine Tree involved the secret of how a Lower-Rank Demon Pill could still form a Demon Pill Nascent Soul.

And at the same time, it could give him a second hope.

But in the end, things had gone contrary to his wishes.

"It seems that in this lifetime I can only walk the path of the Demon Realm, borrow the Demon Realm to forge the Killing Demon body, and increase my chances of forming a Nascent Soul." When there is ultimately only one path to take, Xing Luo’s gaze suddenly became exceedingly resolute.

In the next instant.

Xing Luo once again communicated with the Teleportation Demon Array within the Boundless Celestial Demon Valley, sparing no cost to draw himself back to the Floating Demon Mountain.

However, upon returning to the Floating Demon Mountain, Xing Luo immediately intended to go to the place where Duan Qianren resided.

The True Spirit Divine Tree was something he could no longer take back.

But the True Spirit Demon Tree Mother Tree concerned the Demon Realm, concerned his Killing Demon body, and must be retrieved at all costs.

Even if Soul Refining Duan Qianren thoroughly offended a Nascent Soul Major Influence, it would still be worth it!

Yet it was just at this moment that Xing Luo suddenly sensed a fluctuation of Demonic Qi coming from the deepest part of the Floating Demon Mountain.

The Black Bone Token!
