Chapter 653 The Clash of the Silent Demon Lord, the Gray-Robed Venerable, and Top-Tier Nascent Souls

"It's the aura of the Demon Lord of Annihilation!"

"Why would the Demon Lord of Annihilation appear here?"

"That's right, he left a soul imprint in the black bone claw. He must have sensed Cang Jue's death and is now sending his power across space!"

The group of mysterious figures were all taken aback by what they saw on the screen.

Suddenly, an incomparably domineering figure emerged from the black bone claw and gradually materialized.

Who else could it be but the Annihilation Demon Lord, one of the Ten Great Demon Lords of the Demon Clan?

"What should we do? Should we step in and stop them?" someone immediately asked.

"Of course we must stop it! Even if it's the Demon Lord of Annihilation, daring to extend its claws here, we must chop it off!"

"That's right, so what if he's a Demon Lord? He's not qualified to run wild on our Netherworld Palace's territory!"

"A mere nascent soul dares to trespass into our Netherworld Trial Space?"

Immediately, other figures expressed their opinions.

This trial was organized by the Netherworld Palace. The Demon Lord of Annihilation's intrusion was a blatant provocation, and they could not stand idly by.

As for Cang Jue's death?
It's a joke. He volunteered to come in for the trial, so if he dies here, it's his own fault. Being less skilled than others is not a reason for the Demon Lord of Annihilation to come here and show off.

However, just as the group of mysterious figures were about to set off to stop the Demon Lord of Annihilation, a voice suddenly appeared in the minds of all of them at the same time.

Instantly, all the mysterious figures trembled, stopped in their tracks, and stood respectfully in place, listening to the words spoken by the voice.

After the voice finished speaking, all the figures responded in unison, "Yes, we understand!"

Once the voice faded away, the group of mysterious figures did not continue to move forward to stop the Demon Lord of Annihilation, but instead continued to watch the light screen.

However, their eyes all revealed excitement.

They hadn't expected that the appearance of the Demon Lord of Annihilation's avatar would actually alarm this great man.

Then, things are really going to get interesting.

Moreover, that person actually instructed them not to concern themselves with this matter for the time being. Could it be that he has taken a liking to the masked boy?

With anticipation, the group of mysterious figures stared intently at the light screen.

On the other side of the light screen, the domineering figure on the black bone claw had completely solidified.

Its enormous size, like a small mountain tens of meters high, looked down upon everything around it from above.

"This is... a shard of a powerful primordial spirit?"

The elephant-trunk-like man in the distance trembled violently upon seeing the enormous figure, his heart filled with utter shock.

He held a high position among the elephant clan, and thus knew many secrets about the Primordial Spirit Realm.

To be able to transmit power across the secret realm and form a primordial spirit split, one must at least be a powerful being who has begun to comprehend the laws of space.

The enormous figure in front of us was clearly that kind of being.

Such a terrifying being, even if it is only a fragment of his spirit, could easily crush him.

Thinking of this, the elephant-trunked man involuntarily curled up his tall body.

He dared not run away; doing so would only make him more conspicuous.

The best course of action right now is to minimize his presence and hope that this terrifying entity won't notice him.

As for Daozi of Daoxu Temple, he was also dumbfounded as he watched this scene.

He never expected that such a terrifying existence would emerge from the high-grade demonic artifacts left behind after Cang Jue's death.

Although he couldn't discern just how powerful this mountain-sized primordial spirit demon was, he knew that even his master was far from possessing such terrifying power.

The true form of this primordial spirit demon must be an unparalleled being that has already survived multiple primordial spirit tribulations!
Furthermore, he had a close relationship with Cang Jue, who was killed, and now he is sending his divine consciousness here, probably to avenge him.

Daozi of Daoxu Temple also had to conceal his aura.

With his strength, even if he were at his peak, let alone now that he is seriously injured, such a powerful being could easily crush him.

So now he can only pray that this terrible demon won't notice him.

Perhaps the prayers of the elephant-nosed man and the Daoist disciple of Daoxu Temple had an effect. After the Demon Lord of Annihilation manifested his divided spirit, his primordial spirit swept over them, but he didn't even glance at them before focusing his gaze directly on Lu Qing.

A thunderous voice boomed: "You ant, is it you who killed my son's true form?"

"The original body? So, that demon cub didn't completely perish; there are still other demonic remnants left?"

Even when facing an existence like the Demon Lord of Annihilation, Lu Qing's expression remained largely unchanged.

He had already anticipated this scene after using his special ability to detect the information on the note from the black bone claw.

On the contrary, the words of the Demon Lord of Annihilation surprised him somewhat.

But then he remembered that when he first met Ye Qingzhu, the demonic cultivator he encountered also seemed to have a method of rebirth through the division of his soul, and he immediately understood.

It seems that Cang Jue has also practiced this kind of secret technique.

However, Lu Qing's calm demeanor and the words he spoke left everyone watching the scene in astonishment.

Unexpectedly, he was able to remain calm and even dare to speak rudely to a powerful being who could manifest a split spirit across space.

This person is incredibly audacious!
"Demon brat?"

Even the Demon Lord of Annihilation was taken aback by Lu Qing's words.

He never expected that an ant would dare to be so arrogant in front of him.

However, after a moment of stunned silence, the Demon Lord of Annihilation did not become angry.

He wouldn't let the arrogance of an ant cause him unnecessary emotional reactions.

Looking indifferently at Lu Qing, who was as insignificant as a crawling insect in his eyes, the Demon Lord of Annihilation gently waved his hand, and the black bone claw under his feet suddenly transformed into a black light, falling into his hand and merging into his palm.

"Since you've admitted it, then go die."

The next moment, the Demon Lord of Annihilation's palm suddenly swelled up, becoming so large that it almost covered the entire sky, and then he slammed it down.

With this palm strike, the world changed drastically, as if the end of the world had arrived. Within a radius of a hundred miles, everything was covered by the palm of the Demon Lord of Annihilation.

While both were using high-grade magical artifacts, the power Cang Jue unleashed before was like a firefly's flame, completely incomparable to this.

"It's over!"

The elephant-trunk man and the Daoist disciple of Daoxu Temple both looked on in despair as they watched this scene.

The Demon Lord of Annihilation's palm strike also enveloped them.

With their limited strength, they would have no chance of survival under such a terrifying attack.

"I never expected to provoke such an old monster."

Lu Qing looked at the boundless giant hand that was crushing down like the sky collapsing, and sighed softly in his heart.

The combined power of a seventh-level primordial spirit's shards and a top-grade demonic artifact is something even he couldn't withstand.

It seems that this time, we can only use our trump card once.

"I never thought that after all this, I would still fail at the last minute." Just as Lu Qing's mind stirred slightly, wanting to activate the secret realm stone tablet in the Qiankun Qi Bag and leave this space.

Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong and abruptly looked up.

Then, it was seen that the boundless giant palm of the Demon Lord of Annihilation, which was crushing down from the sky, had stopped at some point.

Moreover, within a radius of hundreds of miles, all movement, even the flow of the atmosphere, became completely still.

But what surprised Lu Qing the most was not these things.

Instead, he saw a figure that had appeared between him and the Demon Lord of Annihilation at some unknown time.

He was an elderly man dressed in gray cloth, with sparse hair and a somewhat hunched posture.

He looked ordinary, no different from any other elderly person in the mortal world, frail and barely clinging to life.

But Lu Qing could see that all the changes before him were due to the appearance of this old man.

"Grey-robed Venerable One, are you going to stop me?"

At this moment, the voice of the Demon Lord of Annihilation resounded loudly.

“Silent Extinction, you’ve overstepped your bounds. This is our Netherworld Palace’s trial space. By sending your divine soul here, you’ve crossed the line.”

The old man in gray said calmly.

"I crossed the line. You tricked my son into coming to this trial space, and now he's dead. Shouldn't I seek retribution?"

The voice of the Demon Lord of Annihilation rang out again, his tone no longer indifferent as before, but carrying a hint of anger.

"Your son came to participate in the trial on his own; no one forced him. Speaking of which, even though he was also at the Golden Core Realm and possessed a high-grade demonic weapon, he was still killed by a cultivator of the same realm. Shouldn't it be your demon race that is ashamed?"

Faced with the questioning of the Demon Lord of Annihilation, the gray-robed elder showed no anger and remained calm in his tone.

His words caused the Demon Lord of Annihilation to pause in surprise.

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 taking this ant away. Will you make way for me?"
If you don't give in, don't blame me for being rude!

"Be rude to me?"

The old man in gray first pondered the words, then slowly raised his head, a mocking expression on his face.

"Silent Annihilation, have you damaged your brain from practicing your Silent Annihilation Demonic Art? You think you're worthy to say such a thing to me?"

These words stunned not only the Demon Lord of Annihilation, but also everyone watching the scene.

But the old man in gray's mockery was not over yet.

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

"Believe it or not, I'll destroy your avatar right now, then lead a group to your Silent Demon Palace, capture your true form, and turn you into a puppet!"

"Haha, destroy my divided spirit and refine my main body into a puppet? Old man, you really are just bragging without thinking. With your frail and aging appearance, do you really think you can do it?"

The Demon Lord of Annihilation laughed heartily and also spoke up in a mocking tone.

"Of course I can't do it alone, but what if I call all the elders of our Netherworld Palace? Do you think you can withstand them?"

Upon hearing this, the avatar of the Demon Lord of Annihilation rippled, revealing his inner turmoil.

But he quickly realized: "Your Netherworld Demon Palace dares to break the agreement and launch a large-scale attack on our Demon Realm. Do you want to start a full-scale war? Are you capable of bearing that responsibility?"

"You can try!"

The Demon Lord of Annihilation fell silent.

Although he didn't believe the old man in gray would actually do that, the man spoke with such conviction that he couldn't help but have reservations.

The Netherworld Palace has too deep a foundation. If they really launch a large-scale attack on his territory, even if other demon lords come to his aid, he cannot guarantee that he can hold out until the aid arrives.

Most importantly, if the Netherworld Palace really goes to war with the Demon Realm, the human race will certainly not sit idly by and will take advantage of the chaos.

When the two major forces attack from both sides, even their Demon Realm will find it difficult to withstand the onslaught.

Thinking of this, the Demon Lord of Annihilation was already considering retreating.

But if he were to retreat like this, he, the dignified Demon Lord, would truly lose all face.

If the human and demon races found out, he would probably become a laughing stock.

Even those demon lords in the Demon Realm who are at odds with him would probably ridicule him greatly.

Thinking of all this, the Demon Lord of Annihilation hesitated again.

But the old man in gray had already gotten angry and didn't have time to wait for him to think.

Seeing that the Demon Lord of Annihilation was still unwilling to retreat, he immediately became angry.

When he came out, he had already boasted to the other elders that he would definitely be able to resolve this matter.

Unexpectedly, this Demon Lord of Annihilation was so arrogant, not only calling him an old man, but also daring to mock him for his impending death.

Immediately, the gray-robed elder's face turned cold, and he was already preparing to make a move.

"You little brat, since you're so ungrateful, then leave your avatar and demonic artifact behind!"

Having said that, the old man in gray gently clenched his fist.

The next moment, a tremendous change occurred.

The previously stagnant space suddenly shifted, transforming into a giant vortex that began to twist and collapse.

The center of the collapse was precisely where the primordial spirit avatar of the Demon Lord of Annihilation was located.

"Old man, you actually dared to make a move!"

The Demon Lord of Annihilation was startled. His black bone claws suddenly grew larger, clenching into a fist to firmly protect his divided spirit within, resisting the immense spatial distortion power surrounding him.

"I've already given you a chance, and since you didn't cherish it, then go die!"

Upon seeing this, the old man in gray immediately formed a hand seal.

Instantly, the spatial vortex spun even more violently, its power suddenly increasing more than tenfold.

Under such a terrifying attack, the Demon Lord of Annihilation finally could not withstand it.

Although he was a powerful being at the seventh level of the Primordial Spirit realm, what he manifested now was merely a wisp of his spirit.

Furthermore, although the gray-robed elder was nearing the end of his life and his vital energy was depleted, he was still a powerful figure at the same level as him.

Under such circumstances, even if he possessed a high-grade magical artifact, he would ultimately be no match for the opponent's true form.

Sensing the increasingly intense spatial power around him, the Demon Lord of Annihilation knew that he was destined to lose this battle once again.

Left with no other choice, he could only say coldly, "Old man, don't be so smug. I will definitely get my revenge for today's humiliation one day! But don't even think about leaving me with my Black Heaven Demon Claw!"

With that, his figure shrank, bursting into bursts of black flames, all of which were poured into the black bone claws.

With the help of the flames, the power of the black bone claw suddenly surged, and it actually broke free from the spatial vortex and rushed out.

It then tore open space with its claw, rushed into it, and disappeared.
