Chapter 1293: Demonic Shadow

“How could he possibly consume a top-grade elixir?”

“This thing is meant for me alone!”

Standing in mid-air, Li Yuan Yi spoke coldly, with a markedly different attitude from the others, disregarding the Ten Thousand Demon Venerable.

He remained contemptuous of everything.

Moreover, his demeanor was utterly arrogant.

“Bastard, how dare you come back? You’re truly asking for death!”

Wang Zhan looked at Li Yuan Yi coldly, directly speaking.

He never imagined that the situation would be this chaotic, yet Li Yuan Yi returned at this time.

It truly feels like everything is going wrong.

“His appearance might be advantageous for us…”

The Sword Spirit beside him slightly narrowed his eyes, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

“Advantageous? This guy will be relentless against us, even though he’s injured. If he keeps entangling with us, it’ll make our predicament even tougher…”

“Caught between a rock and a hard place, we can’t escape unscathed.”

Wang Zhan quickly chimed in, expressing his concern.

The reality is indeed such.

Whether it’s the Ten Thousand Demon Venerable or Li Yuan Yi, both possess terrifying power, and with so many lurking observers, there’s bound to be someone trying to fish in troubled waters should a conflict arise.

That would only exacerbate their predicament.

Thus, from any vantage point, it doesn’t seem favorable.

It might even worsen their situation.

However, the Sword Spirit shook his head, glancing at Li Yuan Yi’s direction before continuing: “He came for the elixir, if we hand this elixir to the Ten Thousand Demon Venerable, Li Yuan Yi will surely clash with him endlessly…”

“This gives us breathing space, don’t you think?”

Wang Zhan was stunned, the reality does seem so.

This top-grade elixir is already a hot potato, everyone yearns for it, causing a stir.

It might even lead to a carnage.

So, discarding this elixir would bring some advantage to them.

Considering this, Wang Zhan immediately nodded, swiftly approaching Zuo Linglong, directly saying, “Since we’ve promised Ten Thousand Demon Venerable, the elixir naturally belongs to him!”

The Ten Thousand Demon Venerable was instantly delighted, completely ignoring Li Yuan Yi’s power.

His eyes were fixed on the elixir.

As long as he could obtain the elixir, all his previous efforts would not be in vain.

Zuo Linglong didn’t hesitate, handing the elixir to the Ten Thousand Demon Venerable.

Everyone present widened their eyes, but this outcome wasn’t unpredictable, even with Li Yuan Yi’s sudden arrival, it wouldn’t change.

The Ten Thousand Demon Venerable took the elixir and laughed loudly.

Standing in mid-air, Li Yuan Yi merely smirked coldly, softly speaking, “Wang Zhan, there’s no need for this charade in front of me, aren’t you just hoping to see me tear into the Ten Thousand Demon Venerable?”

“Frankly, I knew the Ten Thousand Demon Venerable was here, so I showed up!”

“Do you perhaps remember my set of techniques?”

“I came back today to take the elixir and kill everyone present, absorbing all your cultivation!”

While speaking, a gigantic phantom appeared behind Li Yuan Yi.

Yet no one present could discern the subtleties.

Nor understand the phantom’s purpose.

The Ten Thousand Demon Venerable slowly lifted his head, his gaze fixed on Li Yuan Yi in mid-air, speaking with disdain: “I’ve traversed the Star War Battlefield for years, never seeing such arrogance as yours…”

“Trying to snatch something from my hands? Even wishing to kill me? Do you really think you have that ability?”

“I was in a great mood today, avoiding needless slaughter, but since you seek death yourself, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

While speaking, the Ten Thousand Demon Venerable rose into the air, his aura suddenly elevating.

However, this time it wasn’t directed at Wang Zhan and others, but to first eliminate Li Yuan Yi, the menace.

In fact, his thinking coincided with Wang Zhan’s; he indeed didn’t intend to let Wang Zhan go easily, even wanting to take Zuo Linglong away.

Experts capable of crafting top-grade elixirs are few on the Star War Battlefield.

This is undoubtedly a prodigious talent.

If he could bring such a person to his side, not only would he achieve freedom through top-grade elixirs, but he could also recruit many experts, aiding his future greatly!

After all, he still needs to go to the highest-level plane. If he doesn’t call upon friends, how could he possibly dominate the highest-level plane?

So this highlights the importance of Zuo Linglong.

Seeing that Ten Thousand Demon Venerable had already arrived in front of him, Li Yuan Yi no longer continued to hide and directly utilized his power.

Instantly, the previously clear sky turned dark with clouds, and ghost shadows appeared in the air.

The ghost shadows were numerous, simply uncountable.

As the ghost shadows appeared, many people’s expressions turned much uglier because they could sense the ferocious aura emanating from the ghost shadows!

“What is this? Why does this guy have so many ghost shadows around him?”

“I haven’t seen these ghost shadows before either, probably some kind of evil technique, right?”

“On the Star War Battlefield, there’s never a shortage of such people, but no matter what trump card he has, before Ten Thousand Demon Venerable, it’s nothing more than child’s play…”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Clearly, they still believed that Ten Thousand Demon Venerable could effortlessly kill Li Yuan Yi who was in front of them.

And Wang Zhan and others thought so too.

Having handed over that top-grade elixir to Ten Thousand Demon Venerable, they didn’t need to handle the next matter.

They merely needed to watch their dogs fight.

In no time, Wang Zhan and a few others withdrew back to the Sky Pavilion, where everyone had gathered together.

Meanwhile, the Sword Spirit glanced at Wang Zhan and then directly said, “I feel these ghost shadows are strange; they are definitely not as simple as we see, so we must be very careful…”

“If, after the two engage, Ten Thousand Demon Venerable is at a disadvantage, then we should quickly find a place to hide and promptly enter the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower. Although this will take quite a bit of effort, with Ten Thousand Demon Venerable’s strength, he should be able to initially contend with Li Yuan Yi…”

The others also nodded along.

Because even the Hexagonal Golden Snake and some others sensed the terror of the ghost shadows.

“Alright.”

“Anyway, the Sky Pavilion can’t be maintained, and for sure, there will be more trouble in the future, so everyone quickly enter the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, and I will lead everyone to leave together!”

Wang Zhan directly spoke.

The Star War Battlefield is so vast, even leaving the Sky Pavilion, they would ultimately find a habitat of their own.

So naturally, there was no need to worry much.

Everyone nodded along as Wang Zhan swiftly took out the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower. With beams of light falling, everyone was enveloped within.

Before anyone could react, they were inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower in an instant.

And the Sky Pavilion, which was bustling just moments ago, was now utterly deserted.

But the Hexagonal Golden Snake and some others still stood by Wang Zhan since courage accompanies expertise, and they wouldn’t let Wang Zhan face danger alone.

With them accompanying Wang Zhan, the risk could be reduced.

As Li Yuan Yi and Ten Thousand Demon Venerable drew nearer, Wang Zhan and others’ gazes fixed upon them.

Clearly awaiting the commencement of this pinnacle duel.

The closer Ten Thousand Demon Venerable got to Li Yuan Yi, the more he harbored an extremely ominous feeling. Having observed the ghost shadows in the air for a while, he promptly realized and directly said, “You’ve memorized the power of those demons?”

Indeed.

All these ghost shadows before him were demons that had sacrified on the Deity-Demon Battlefield!

Hence Ten Thousand Demon Venerable felt a sense of familiarity.

Though others didn’t realize it, it’s because they hadn’t participated in the Deity-Demon War, so naturally, they didn’t know what these ghost shadows truly are.

But Ten Thousand Demon Venerable’s eyes couldn’t be deceived.

“How exactly did you achieve this?”

Ten Thousand Demon Venerable looked at Li Yuan Yi before him and followed by asking.

After all, the Deity-Demon Battlefield had long been suppressed by the combined forces of experts, although some demons hadn’t been eradicated, those demons that died on the battlefield had long dispersed.

It’s impossible for them to continue existing on the Star War Battlefield in such a form.

Li Yuan Yi must surely possess some trump card.

Really enviable.

Li Yuan Yi, amazed by Ten Thousand Demon Venerable’s acute perception, nodded contentedly and then spoke blandly, “It’s because I acquired the Soul-suppressing Plaque, and I frequently nourished it with fresh blood. The souls absorbed by the plaque have long been at my disposal!”

“But exerting the power of these souls from the Soul-suppressing Plaque requires a significant price, one that ordinary people can’t bear…”

“Fortunately, I’ve practiced a mystical technique, but even so, after today’s battle, I’m afraid I’ll become their puppet, yet it’s still worth it…”

“So, if you are sensible, quickly hand over that elixir to me and then get lost!”
