In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 528 The Holy Law Heavenly Lord Returns!

The response from the Hundred-Headed Heavenly Lord immediately eased the tension between the two sides.

The performance of the Yu Xuan Demon Clan lived up to the Purple Gold Dragon Lord's evaluation of them.

Even if they deeply admire Wan Chenxin, they will not become his yes-men; they possess the ability to think independently.

"Since we share the same vision, I think we can engage in in-depth cooperation at the strategic level."

"If possible, ordinary people from both worlds should also engage in appropriate exchanges to promote friendly development between the human and demon realms."

Wu Luo Zhenjun smiled and spoke.

"I can't ask for it."

The Hundred-Headed Heavenly Lord also smiled.

But then, the red-haired woman's smile vanished, and she asked solemnly:
"Fellow Daoist Baishou, where is the Holy Law Council that once oppressed your world?"

“The members of the Holy Law Council are all lackeys and eyes and ears of the immeasurable eons. If they cannot be completely eliminated, I fear that something untoward will happen.”

The Hundred-Headed Heavenly Lord first glanced at Gui Yuan, a member of the Blue Star delegation, then said in a deep voice:
"After the Demon Mother suddenly disappeared, the Holy Law Council seemed to have received some news and went into hiding before we could take any action."

"Without the Demon Mother's surveillance, we cannot find where those shadows are hiding."

"They may have already secretly left, or they may have come to the vicinity of Blue Star with the Yu Xuan World."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Wu Luo Zhenjun and the three human god-level beings all changed.

Have all those shadows hidden themselves?
Doesn't this mean they could launch an attack at any time?

The moment such a thought crossed their minds, a figure exactly like Gui Yuan suddenly emerged from the shadow beneath Gui Yuan's feet.

It is the Lord of the Holy Law Council, the Holy Law Heavenly Lord.

"You cannot issue a royal decree."

The moment Guiyuan's shadow appeared, it immediately issued a command to its main body.

As a shadow created 100,000 years ago, the Holy Law Heavenly Lord replicated the Returning Kite at its peak.

Guiyuan's original form has not yet recovered to its peak state. In order to save Su Yuan in the Taixu World, it consumed a lot of its essence. Therefore, in terms of hard power, it is actually inferior to Shadow.

Having been ambushed, Guiyuan's strongest techniques were disabled, reducing her combat strength by seventy or eighty percent.

After succeeding in his attack, Saint Law Heavenly Lord grabbed Gui Yuan by the throat. His body surface seemed to melt as black, shadowy tentacles emerged and gradually wrapped around Gui Yuan's body.

"My body is finally about to be complete."

Saint Law Heavenly Lord stood behind Gui Yuan, the two of them like twin sisters, inseparable.

Her icy gaze swept over every Nascent Soul cultivator present, and she said coldly:
"Please do not act rashly. I have come here today only for my true form."

"If you insist on fighting me, my three great Nascent Soul cultivators, the Eternal Heavenly Lord, the Heavenly Lord of Sovereign Flame, and the Heavenly Lord of Plague, will not mind dealing with you and launching an indiscriminate offensive against Blue Star and the Yu Xuan World."

An Xingran, Shen Zhou, and the three demon race Nascent Soul cultivators all looked extremely unpleasant.

With so many Nascent Soul cultivators present, and despite being on guard, they were still managed to be successfully ambushed by the Holy Law Heavenly Lord. It's truly a slap in the face.

To be honest, they did become a little lax.

After all, they were on the trunk of the Wan Chen Xin tree, and subconsciously they believed that this place was safe, so they were not very wary.

As it turned out, Wan Chenxin said he would not help either side, and he really did not help either side. Even when the enemy was right under his noses, he didn't utter a sound.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the fact that Shadow of the Abyss is just too overpowered.

As a derivative ability of the Primordial Dao, the shadow it replicates cannot be detected by any conventional means when it is in stealth mode.

Unfortunately, Su Yuan, the only one who could find the Shadow of the Abyss, was still in seclusion; otherwise, the enemy would have had no chance to exploit the situation.

“Holy Law Heavenly Lord, put down the kite, and we can let you leave safely.”

The three swords behind Shen Zhou were drawn, their sword intent locking firmly onto Saint Law Heavenly Lord. Saint Law Heavenly Lord calmly said:
"I have longed to merge with my original body for 100,000 years. Now that I have the opportunity, I will not let it go."

"Even if I am killed by you the moment I merge with my original body, I am willing to accept it."

As she spoke, the shadow that her body had transformed into grew increasingly ferocious, like the fangs of a murderer, slowly devouring Gui Yuan.

Guiyuan herself was not too flustered by this.

The flesh and blood untouched by the shadows within her body surged rapidly, showing signs of splitting and escaping.

This was a trick she learned from her friend, the Corruption Lord, to sever her tail and escape by dividing most of her flesh and soul.

Although this method has huge side effects, it is still better than being completely swallowed by the shadow.

The Holy Law Heavenly Lord naturally noticed this as well, and without hesitation increased the intensity of the devouring.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, an invisible chain suddenly stretched out from the void, instantly locking the Holy Law Heavenly Lord in place, making his body stiff and unable to move.

Guiyuan seized the opportunity, broke free from the shadow's embrace, and quickly retreated behind her companions.

"This is... the Yuan Lock?"

Gui Yuan looked surprised when she saw the chain marks on the body of the blonde girl who looked exactly like her.

Just as Gui Yuan had guessed, a familiar voice came from not far away.

"Senior Guiyuan, why is it always you who gets hurt?"

"It was the same in the Void World, and it was also during the battle with the Demon Mother. I was almost eaten just now. Could it be that I have some kind of easily injured constitution?"

As the sound rang out, Su Yuan slowly appeared from the void, revealing his peak Nascent Soul cultivation level.

Su Yuan's teasing made Gui Yuan blush slightly.

Thinking about it carefully, she does seem to have a rather tragic situation.

However, she was soon drawn to the aura emanating from Su Yuan.

This certainly doesn't mean that Su Yuan has acquired any alluring charm, but rather that the cultivation aura he exudes is extremely violent, like an unstable bomb that could explode at any moment.

Combined with Su Yuan's sudden surge in cultivation, it goes without saying what happened to Su Yuan.

In order to become stronger as quickly as possible, he forced his way through the level.

If he doesn't handle this surge in cultivation properly, he might even explode and die.

"Su Yuan, why are you in such a hurry?"

With a slightly immature expression, Wu Luo Zhenjun spoke with a hint of heartache.

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."

Su Yuan turned his gaze to the Holy Law Heavenly Lord, his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.

"To suppress this surge in cultivation, I can't work in isolation. I need a thrilling battle, a battle that can put me in a life-or-death situation."

"Holy Law Heavenly Lord, are you willing to be my whetstone?"

Facing Su Yuan's undisguised provocation, the Holy Law Heavenly Lord smiled faintly:
"Su Yuan, your performance is truly outstanding. In terms of the speed of progress, you are much stronger than Wuliang Jiezun. No wonder the Demon Mother suddenly turned against you after meeting you once."

"Alright, since you want a Nascent Soul cultivator as your opponent, then I'll grant your wish."

"But be careful, if you use me to sharpen your knife, you might break it!"

Before she finished speaking, the aura emanating from the Holy Law Heavenly Lord suddenly erupted, and the Yuan Locks binding her shattered one by one, allowing her to regain her mobility.

Immediately, the Holy Law Heavenly Lord disappeared from his spot and appeared in front of Su Yuan in the next instant.

A massive golden lance, as tall as three Holy Law Heavenly Lords, appeared in her hand at some unknown time, and she thrust it towards Su Yuan's head.
