Chapter 1317: Chapter 802: Threats, Undercurrents Stir Once More (2)
How come he doesn’t even have a bit of room for negotiation? If there’s anything wrong, he really wants to strike to kill.
The middle-aged man with golden eyes wasn’t reluctant about this Divine Thought Avatar of his.
He was afraid that after his death, Lu Qing would genuinely start a massacre.
If that were to happen, their Demon Clan would truly face annihilation.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man with golden eyes finally made up his mind.
The Spirit Stones could be earned again if lost, but once the royal capital is destroyed and all the elite demons inside die, their Demon Clan would truly be finished.
By then, even if they kept the Spirit Stones, what use would they be?
"My friend, I can agree to your demands, but the Spirit Stones you require are too many, so we need a bit of time to gather them."
The middle-aged man with golden eyes sighed and said.
"One day." Lu Qing raised one finger with his hand, "I only give you one day to gather the Spirit Stones and present them to me. If you dare to play any tricks, it won’t be as simple as destroying the royal capital. I will slaughter your entire Demon Clan. You should know whether I have this ability."
As his words fell, a monstrous killing intent emanated from Lu Qing, enveloping all the surrounding Demon Kings.
In an instant, all the Demon Kings felt as if they had fallen into an ocean of killing intent.
Terrible illusions surged in their Primordial Spirits, and their forms were almost unable to maintain, nearly falling from the sky.
The middle-aged man with golden eyes did not have his Heart and Spirit affected by Lu Qing’s killing intent, but seeing the indifference in Lu Qing’s eyes, he couldn’t help but tremble inside.
He understood that their Demon Clan had truly provoked an unimaginable calamity this time. What exactly were those wasteful Golden Lion Emperors doing, daring to tread such muddy waters without even ascertaining the enemy’s depths.
Though inwardly cursing the Golden Lion Emperors, the middle-aged man with golden eyes could only suppress his emotions and nod his head.
"Alright, just one day. My friend, you must honor your promise and not make a move against my Demon Clan within this day."
"Don’t worry, I always keep my promises," Lu Qing said.
Then he withdrew his hand, releasing the suppression on the middle-aged man with golden eyes, without any worry that he might take the opportunity to escape.
At the same time, he also retracted the killing intent on his body.
But those Demon Kings seemed as if their Heart and Spirit were seized, not immediately returning to their senses.
Feeling the boundless pressure leaving their bodies and lightness returning, the middle-aged man with golden eyes did not feel any happiness.
In such a short contact, he had already realized that the strength of this demon’s Physical Body far exceeded his Divine Thought Avatar.
Plus, with the spatial understanding of the other, if Lu Qing really wanted to annihilate the Demon Clan, he had no way to stop it.
"What kind of monster is this, capable of possessing such terrifying prowess in the Great World?"
The middle-aged man with golden eyes couldn’t comprehend.
Logically, their Divine Thought Avatars at the Unity Realm Stage should have been invincible in the Great World.
But why did a monster like Lu Qing appear, able to crush his Avatar with such overwhelming power?
Even though it was difficult to comprehend, the middle-aged man with golden eyes dared not delay.
He turned to the Demon Kings on the periphery and angrily said, "Didn’t you hear that? Immediately go and gather Spirit Stones for me. If you can’t gather enough Spirit Stones within a day, I’ll stop caring about you useless bunch!"
Only then did the other Demon Kings awaken as if from a dream, looking at Lu Qing with fear, not daring to say another word.
The killing intent emanating from this demon was too horrifying.
Even with their Five Tribulations or greater Primordial Spirits, they couldn’t resist at all and were about to fall into illusions.
If a fight really broke out, the opponent probably wouldn’t even have to make a direct move; just relying on killing intent could destroy their Primordial Spirits.
So, upon hearing the order from the "Emperor" to gather Spirit Stones, not a single Demon King dared to oppose.
After bowing in agreement, they all used Space Shifting Technique to find ways to gather Spirit Stones.
Even the middle-aged man with golden eyes, after pondering for a moment, disappeared, heading for more distant places.
Given the spatial achievement of those useless ones, trying to run across the Demon Domain within a day was impossible; it had to be him.
The Spirit Stones accumulated by those yet-to-be-resurrected Demon Kings would also not be easy to acquire without him taking action.
As the middle-aged man with golden eyes and the other Demon Kings disappeared, only a single figure remained in the sky.
Lu Qing’s gaze fell on the figure, none other than the Golden Lion Emperor.
Just revived, his cultivation was only at the Primordial Spirit Initial Realm, and he was unable to use the Space Shifting Technique at all.
Feeling Lu Qing’s gaze, the Golden Lion Emperor’s body trembled.
Before Lu Qing could speak, he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, my Golden Lion Clan has many Spirit Stones. I will fetch them for Your Excellency right now!"
Saying that, without waiting for Lu Qing’s response, he immediately transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the royal capital below.
Afraid that if he was a bit slower, Lu Qing would object and deny him this chance.
After all, on Heavenly Saint Peak, he had made a move against this person.
Having already been resurrected once, if this Physical Body was also slain, he would truly fall and be unable to resurrect again.
Watching the Golden Lion Emperor’s frantic departure, Lu Qing did not take action.
For him now, the strength of these Demon Kings was negligible.
Since the other party was willing to exchange Spirit Stones for life, he didn’t mind giving them a chance to live.
Casually conjuring a cloud, Lu Qing sat cross-legged upon it, quietly waiting for the demons to return.
As for whether those Demon Kings would dare to deceive, he didn’t care.
He had already given them a chance. If those Demon Kings were truly so ungrateful, he wouldn’t hesitate to erase that royal capital from the Heavenly Origin Great World.
Moreover, he had already remembered the aura of those Demon Kings.
Having cultivated the Ziwei Fate Scripture, even if those Demon Kings fled to the ends of the earth, he had a way to track them down.
By then, he would show them what true hell was.
As Lu Qing sat cross-legged on the cloud, waiting for the demons to return, the entire Heavenly Origin Great World was abuzz with undercurrents.
The battle on Heavenly Saint Peak caused waves too terrifying.
Moreover, many cultivators witnessed with their own eyes the scene of Lu Qing slaughtering a bunch of Demon Kings and the elders of the Holy Alliance.
Such a shocking event was destined to be uncovered.
Therefore, after brewing for several days, the news quickly spread throughout almost the entire Human Race territory.
Including the mysterious and unfathomable Netherworld Palace.
In a mysterious place, in a pitch-black palace exuding strange Dao Rhythms, several powerful figures gathered together.
"Is the news accurate? The elders of the Holy Alliance really were slaughtered completely?"
An old man in black robe asked, with a trace of wavering in his tone.
"Absolutely accurate. The images were secretly recorded by our people using a Memory Stone at the time."
Another figure took out a Memory Stone and projected a light screen in mid-air.
The image in the light screen changed, showing the scene of Lu Qing in Heavenly Saint Peak, slaughtering a bunch of Demon Kings and elders of the Holy Alliance.
Watching the light screen, Lu Qing punched two Eight-Calamity Demon Emperors to death and cut down more than ten Demon Kings with a sword.
Then he transformed into a giant of a thousand feet, swatting the elders of the Holy Alliance like mosquitoes.
The old man in black robe and others couldn’t help but inhale sharply, caught in immense shock.
Even through the image, they could feel the monstrous ferocity emanating from the so-called "demon" within.
"Punching to kill Eight-Calamity Demon Emperors, even the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit couldn’t withstand a single move. Luo Yuantian’s Divine Thought Avatar couldn’t do anything to him and had to concede and admit defeat. Who exactly is this person?"
After a long while, the old man in black robe couldn’t help but ask.
"I’ve already checked; this person should be the one who made a name for himself decades ago with a single battle on Tianshu Divine Mountain, reversing the slaying of multiple Human Race Primordial Spirits with a Golden Core Body, Chen Qing," another figure said.
"But Chen Qing is likely an alias; this person is skilled in the Transformation Technique. While traveling through the Heavenly Origin Great World, he used multiple identities, once even infiltrating our Netherworld Palace to become an outer assassin."
"And decades ago, in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, the mysterious cultivator who triggered that bizarre heavenly tribulation is also very likely him."
It’s no wonder that Netherworld Palace is among the most well-informed forces, having thoroughly investigated Lu Qing’s matters.
"Are you saying that he only just went through Primordial Spirit Tribulation decades ago?"
Shocked to the core, the old man in black robe asked in disbelief.
