Chapter 1357 - 719: Remnant Shadow of the Demon Lord! (2)

A surge of fear suddenly gripped everyone’s hearts.

This aura completely surpassed the power of a Venerable Level, even causing the surrounding heavens and earth to start subtly fracturing.

At the same time, the Great Dao between heaven and earth seemed to be attracted, beginning to manifest, beams of light illuminating the four corners, shining clearly throughout the world.

"Demon Lord!"

Taiwu Daoist Venerable immediately uttered these two words.

But in the next moment, his actions changed, an aura suddenly rippling out to resist the pressure.

Since they dared to enter, they naturally came prepared and had corresponding trump cards.

The Eight Great Sects have Daoist Masters stationed at their superpowers!

Everybody present reacted, lifting their heads in unison to gaze at the sky, only to see it was already a sheer night, myriad glows seemingly stripped away!

No!

Not just the glows, but even the surrounding, vaguely visible causality was stripped away.

It seemed as if this place was forcibly isolated from the heavens and earth, forming an independent world.

Whether time or space, it was indeed so.

At this moment, Taiwu Daoist Venerable began speaking aloud, "Which senior has arrived, please come out and meet!"

"Hehe..."

A soft enchanting voice echoed, as if responding to Taiwu Daoist Venerable, in the next moment, strands of pale luminous moonlight emerged within the surrounding space.

Those moonbeams, strand by strand, fluttered over, converging into a cluster.

Instantly, a bright moon appeared in the sky, softly spreading, then converging into the outline of a slender figure.

People couldn’t clearly see the figure’s appearance, only that they were dressed in a garment seemingly woven from moonlight, exuding an eternal aura with each gesture.

Everyone now understood, suddenly appearing before them, possibly was a Demon Lord!

Yet the soft voice resounded again.

"You all should be from the Human Clan, no need to fear, I have long since fallen, appearing here now merely as a manifestation of my original self through special means of will and power."

The voice explained, and the hearts of the Daoist Venerables felt as if a gentle hand was soothing their fear and astonishment.

Many Daoist Venerables exchanged glances, with several showing expressions of relief.

Whether this was an alive Daoist Master in front, this tone clearly showed no intention of being an enemy.

"If that’s the case, why were we previously isolated separately?"

Taiwu Daoist Venerable raised a hand and respectfully bowed.

The figure akin to a moon goddess, glanced at everyone, then chuckled softly, "I wish to cooperate with you against the rebels led by the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, what do you think?"

Cooperate?

Rebels?

Those who reach the level of a Venerable are no fools, immediately extracting the key points from these words.

Firstly, this senior’s stance is with the Demon Race Heavenly Court.

Secondly, this senior requires their help, or has some scheme.

And at this moment, the Human Clan experts did not fear that figure.

Because they perceived this wasn’t a real Demon Lord.

The remnant thought of a Demon Lord and the Demon Race itself are vastly different concepts, though the remnant thought can still crush a Venerable, with equivalent techniques, it can naturally be circumvented.

And their Human Clan forces, the Eight Great Sects, undoubtedly possess those capabilities.

"We wonder how this senior intends to cooperate with us..."

The Sect Leader of Heavenly Puppet Sect smiled as he spoke.

Internally, however, there was not a hint of relaxation.

"Have you come here seeking opportunities?"

"Correct, also to prevent those rebels you mentioned from increasing their strength."

Dao Yi Sect Leader responded.

"We can cooperate, I can offer appropriate benefits, such as hidden resources here, things you desire, and in return, you must help me kill those invaders."

The moonlit figure said lightly.

"Senior, we are the Human Clan."

Just then, Taiwu Daoist Venerable suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, many powerful individuals present instantly tensed up.

No matter how you say it, the two sides are not of the same race, the person before them is undeniably a great power of the Demon Race.

Upon hearing this remark, the moonlit figure laughed softly:

"Must the current Human and Demon Races be distinguished so clearly?"

"The ones plotting against my Heavenly Court were not your Human Clan, but those various races that initially groveled at my Heavenly Court’s feet, then backstabbed in the end."

"If you were in my place, would you choose to ally with the Human Clan, or those traitors?"

The voice was calm, slow and gentle, making the Human Race Venerables listening inexplicably relaxed.

"Senior speaks quite appropriately." Taiwu Daoist Venerable nodded slightly, "But our coming here involved considerable risk, if we cooperate further with senior..."

His tone suddenly turned deep, as if somewhat restrained.

While the Human Race Venerables beside him had eyes burning with intense interest.

Taiwu Daoist Venerable’s words, essentially, were negotiating.

Though their venture into this place was to prevent the Demon Race from gaining great benefits that could alter the battle, undoubtedly, if they could reap some rewards, why not?

Taiwu Daoist Venerable is among them, in both peak strength, and highest prestige, having repeatedly fought against the Demon Race powers.

Even Dao Yi Sect, which had friction with True Martial Sect, had to admit, currently, the one most suitable to negotiate with the senior’s will is Taiwu Daoist Venerable.

"Hmm."

The moonlit figure nodded slightly, "I know what you seek in your heart."

As the words fell, the moonlit figure flicked a finger, then a stream of light shot out, condensing into a giant map in the air.

It was a map!

On the huge map, there were nearly dozens of white light spots, several scarlet light spots, and two black light spots.

"What is this?"

Taiwu Daoist Venerable hesitated for a moment.

"The white spots are resources we accumulated back then, though time may have eroded some effects, they remain good things for you."

"And those red spots are places of great danger that I cannot control."

"These two black spots, the larger one represents you, the smaller one represents those rebels."

The moonlit figure explained coldly, yet many present were amazed!

They looked at the giant map, their hearts were suddenly astonished.

They had worried about finding targets, wandering aimlessly like flies.

Yet with such a giant map, they could pinpoint the whereabouts of key elements, even marked positions.

The advantage and disadvantage between sides instantly shifted!

"Besides, if you are willing to act, we can also reward accordingly, such as..."

The figure chuckled lightly, flipping her right hand, a cluster of golden light appeared in her palm!

The golden light was extremely bright, through its glow, a golden feather flashed.

It turned out to be a Golden Crow Feather that had escaped earlier.

"This object can better help you comprehend the laws of the Fire Dao and enhance cultivation, Moreover, I also possess remnants of the Ruomu and Fusang Ancient Tree which were nearly destroyed back then."

"For you humans who excel in utilizing external materials, this should be the finest refining materials!"

Ruomu!

Fusang Ancient Tree!

Golden Crow Feather!

These hit the core of the Daoists present.

Heavenly Puppet Sect Leader’s expression changed several times, eager to agree immediately.

If he could obtain those materials, gather both Great Divine Woods and the Golden Crow Feather, along with some surrounding accumulations, perhaps he could forge a puppet comparable to the Heaven-Burning Ancestor before he went mad.

Undoubtedly, the Heavenly Puppet Sect’s strength would see a significant increase, their status rising as well.

Other than him, the rest of the powerful individuals also had some envy.

Who knows how much more was buried with the Demon Race Heavenly Court’s treasures back then.

Perhaps gathering them could create another superpower.
