in the edge

Chapter 568 Do you crave power?

The battle is over, at least for these powerful men.

The extraterritorial demon had been dismembered by them, and the remaining remains were shattered beyond recognition. And judging from the faint consciousness remaining on it, it probably wouldn't last much longer.

In fact, think about this kind of thing, fighting against thousands of powerful people with one's own strength, and even fighting for such a long time, even if this extraterritorial demon is an iron man, he should be exhausted physically and mentally - and physical and mental exhaustion, for a powerful person, is a ticket to death.

Even if the powerful have a firm will that transcends life and death, once they are tired and exhausted, they will inevitably become lazy. Once they become lazy, it will be difficult to maintain that firmness.

When this firm will disappears, this so-called transcendence of life and death will no longer exist.

A firm will can indeed transcend life and death, but once the will to die is set in one's heart, then the death itself, which has been transcended, will catch up in an instant - just like the fisherman who had trapped a group of powerful men before, while he still had breath, he could still maintain his strength, but when the thought of life was swallowed up by the will to die, it only took a moment for death to come.

When will is exhausted, all that remains is eternal sleep.

Although even if this is achieved, there is still a possibility that the extraterritorial demon will be awakened again, but at that time, it will be much easier to deal with. What's more, after buying themselves some extra time, maybe someone among them can come up with a way to deal with this extraterritorial demon.

However, the first step to deal with this alien demon is definitely to understand this alien demon first.

As for the method to understand this extraterritorial demon, of course it is...

“It’s…amazing.”

High in the sky, in a cave filled with light, a burly man was carefully examining the severed palm in his hand.

The broken palm only has three fingers, and even the fingers are broken, but the broken parts are not made of flesh and blood, but hard steel.

The man still remembered how much effort he had put in to tear this piece of body off his arm when he was fighting with those powerful men for it. The hardness of this piece of body was far beyond that of ordinary steel. It was hard to imagine how such a hard thing could be as flexible as an ordinary body. God knows how the demon from outside the domain did it.

However... since it is a demon from outside the domain, it is not strange that it has such a strange body.

Logically speaking, this broken palm should be suppressed somewhere, and it is best not to place it in his own cave - after all, God knows what kind of capabilities this alien demon has. If this alien demon takes advantage of his absence or pollutes his cave without his knowledge, it would be a loss.

"It would be best to find a place to suppress it, and as soon as possible..."

Although he said this, the man didn't show any intention of moving.

This is indeed the case, and this is indeed the truth, but if we just throw this broken palm out to suppress it...

Isn't it a bit too wasteful?
"It's indeed... a bit of a waste."

The man raised his hand and brushed across the broken palm. He could feel that there was still power contained in the broken palm.

Yes, power.

He always had to study this power and find a way to deal with this extraterritorial demon. After all, there was still a possibility that the extraterritorial demon would wake up, so he still had to be prepared... This reason was undoubtedly the most legitimate, and no one could find fault with it.

However, the man knew very well that he didn't think so at all.

He just wanted to master this power, he just wanted to make it his own, and he could see that many of the powerful people who were fighting with him to snatch the remaining body of the extraterritorial demon, thought the same way.

Although it is not ruled out that some powerful people are too honest and are foolish enough to suppress it when they say they want to, but for more powerful people, the remains of the extraterritorial demon mean power.

Moreover, it is an extremely powerful force.

In that shocking battle, countless mighty men were killed on the spot, and even the man himself was killed five times in a row - and this meant that he had personally experienced the power of this force, the unreasonableness of this force, and the invincibility of this force.

How could he be willing to let go of this power when he had already experienced it himself?
"First... study it."

After thinking about it, the man finally took a deep breath and kept the broken palm.

Anyway, all he has to do is suppress it. As for whether he has actually suppressed anything, who can tell for sure except himself?
As a powerful person, he will not abide by any so-called rules. On the contrary, being unrestrained and wanton is the foundation of a powerful person.

After all, to be a powerful person, one must have a firm will that can even transcend death itself. If even death itself can be transcended, what about the so-called verbal agreement?
"But...how should we use this power?"

Looking at the body in his hands, the man began to frown.

It is obviously impossible to activate it using normal means, not to mention that he doesn't know what normal way is to activate the power in this piece of body - of course, if he really has to use it, it's not impossible, just treat this thing as a brick and throw it out to smash it.

But isn't this a bit too stupid? Moreover, if he does this, wouldn't it expose the fact that he hid the remains of the extraterritorial demon?
"Maybe... we can find some other way."

Thinking of this, the man looked at the half-broken palm again.

Obviously, this half of the broken palm is more like a block of steel than a brick. Although the shape seems a little irregular, no matter from which angle you look at it, it can be called a piece of high-quality steel.

In fact, this piece of steel seems to be too good. It would be a shame not to make something with it.

"Then... do it!"

The man simply reached out and grabbed it.

There was light gathered in the man's palm, shining brightly.

This is the Taoism practiced by the man named Yaoguang Xingjun. Before he became a powerful man, he was blinded by illness, but this also gave rise to his desire for light. It was under this crazy desire that he killed countless enemies along the way, and eventually achieved the status of a powerful man and became the almighty Star Lord.

And the light that he had been pursuing tirelessly finally became his power and manifested in his hands.

"So, what should we do?"

Looking at the severed palm in his hand, Yaoguang Xingjun began to think.

If it was to be made into a sword, this piece of steel was obviously too little, but if it was to be made into a dagger, it would be too wasteful. It might be a good idea to make it into a gun head, but he still needed to find a rod that matched it. If it was to be made into something else...

"who!"

It was at this time that Yaoguang Xingjun suddenly realized that a powerful person was approaching his cave.

This also made Yaoguang Xingjun hurriedly hide the severed palm. You know, what he showed to the outside world was that he had suppressed the remains of the extraterritorial demon. If people saw that he had hidden the remains, he would probably become the next target of public criticism.

It is rare for the powerful to unite. After all, their sects are different, and sometimes they even conflict with each other. It is good enough if they don't fight when they meet, so how can they work together?

But this time is the exception.

This time they have a common enemy, and this common enemy also gives them an excuse to attack together.

If given the chance, these powerful people would never hesitate to divide up the inheritance of other powerful people. And the person who made all this happen...

"Wenquxing."

Looking at the figure that came into his cave, Yaoguang Xingjun frowned.

"I remember telling you that I would not join you."

Yes, after temporarily bringing together a group of powerful people on the pretext of dealing with the extraterritorial demons, the Lord Wenquxing did not let this loose alliance disappear, but continued to maintain this loose alliance in the name of guarding against the extraterritorial demons.

"We have a common enemy!"

Under this slogan, many powerful people have already joined this alliance.

However, many powerful people saw the problem. After all, many of them were kings, princes, generals and ministers in the mortal world before they became star gods. To be honest, the methods used by Wenqu Star God were not very new - in other words, the slogan of guarding against the extraterritorial demons was too easy to use. The extraterritorial demons did show terrifying destructive power, which gave Wenqu Star God the opportunity to integrate a group of powerful people.

And this Yaoguang Star Lord was also one of those powerful people who had complaints about this.

If the originally loosely organized great powers were to sign a formal alliance, who would be the leader of the alliance? In the future, when there are assignments in the alliance, would they still have to follow orders and do the work? Everyone has become a great power, and what they want is to be free and unfettered. Besides, everyone cultivates on their own and lives a normal life. Why should they listen to your orders?
"Anyway, don't persuade me anymore. I'm not joining."

Taking a deep breath, Yaoguang Xingjun shook his head again.

This means he has to send the guest away. There is nothing more to talk about with Wenqu Star Lord. If Wenqu Star Lord really has any other ideas, Yaoguang Star Lord is at least 80% sure that he can keep the other party here as he is fighting at home in his own cave.

But faced with the unyielding attitude of Yaoguang Star Lord, Wenqu Star Lord just shook his head and laughed.

“What are you talking about, Lord Yaoguang? Although we are called the Ten Thousand Star Alliance, we don’t force you to join. We just want to look after each other. If we are really resurrected by the extraterritorial demon, we can help each other… If Lord Yaoguang doesn’t want to join, then don’t join. There is nothing wrong with this. I didn’t come here for this.”

"What's that for?"

Yaoguang Xingjun was already getting a little impatient.

You know, the severed palm is still hidden in his cave. Although he has covered it up well, if the God of Literature finds it...

"I came here precisely because of the matter of the extraterritorial demon."

Wenquxingjun said this.

As soon as these words were spoken, Yaoguang Xingjun was so shocked that he almost shot out a stream of light.

How could it be possible? Could it be that his story was exposed so quickly? How long had it been? One day? How could it be so fast?
"I'm sure Star Lord Yaoguang has also heard that the outer demon was brought up by Star Lord Tanlang."

It was at this time that Wenquxingjun continued speaking.

"The main culprit has been eliminated, but the remnants are still there. We are now fully manned and ready to deal with the Greedy Wolf Star Lord as well... Speaking of which, the Greedy Wolf Star Lord is also abominable. Last time he surrounded and suppressed the extraterritorial demon, he didn't even show his face. If this is not protecting him, then what is this?"

"You said this..."

After hearing this, Yaoguang Star Lord finally understood why Wenqu Star Lord came.

Although nominally it was because the Greedy Wolf Star Lord was protecting the extraterritorial demon, and the two were even likely to be of the same blood, but in reality, it was still about how to divide up the Greedy Wolf Star Lord's legacy - to put it simply, everyone rushed up and beat the Greedy Wolf Star Lord to his knees, and whoever went over and put in the effort would get the biggest share.

Perhaps using benefits to lure more powerful people to join, and after doing this together, it is equivalent to having blood on their hands. At this time, if they talk about joining the Ten Thousand Star Alliance, there will be no way to refuse.

Although the inheritance of the Tanlang Star Lord looked quite tempting, the Yaoguang Star Lord no longer cared about such a small profit.

After all, the real power is hidden in his cave right now.

"I won't get involved, go away."

With a wave of his hand, Yaoguang Xingjun chose to close the door and refuse visitors.

After Wenquxing left, Yaoguangxingjun took out the severed palm again.

Looking at the lines on the severed palm, Yaoguang Xingjun couldn't help but recall once again the horror of being slashed five times in a row. This memory also once again strengthened his determination to use this power.

The so-called Ten Thousand Star Alliance is nothing more than a small mortal world. The reason why the powerful are powerful is always because of the power itself.

As long as you master this omnipotent power...

"what happened?"

Yaoguang Xingjun, who once again grasped the light, frowned at this moment.

You know, although his strength has nothing to do with forging, it is still easy for him to turn a piece of steel into a weapon - but this thing that should be easy for him to do, he failed at all at this moment.

Under the shining light, the broken palm that should have been as soft as mud was still lying well in his hand. The broken palm was still just a broken palm, and there was no sign of it turning into steel.

"Is this... the power resisting me?"

Yaoguang Xingjun frowned.

Yes, at this moment he had already felt that the power attached to the broken palm, that omnipotent power, was resisting his influence.

This made him recall once again the horror of being chopped five times in a row, and the terrifying figure waving a big knife towards the sky.

Obviously, even if only half of his palm was left, the will attached to it was superior to his...

"Wait! Will?"

Yaoguang Xingjun subconsciously wanted to throw the severed palm away.

But at this moment, a thought suddenly appeared in the mind of Yaoguang Xingjun.

That was not Yaoguang Xingjun's own thought, but the message conveyed by this thought was so clear.

That thought was speaking to him.

"Do you long for power?"
