"They even had the strength to challenge the ancient races, but during a ritual, they somehow touched some taboo, which plunged the entire ancient demon race into crisis. In less than ten days, they completely disappeared from the continent, and no one knew what had happened to them."

"It wasn't until later, when the situation in this Eternal Origin Heaven Secret Realm spread, that people learned that one of the inheritances in this secret realm was the Ancient Demon Heaven Palace."

"However, this place seems to be just a ruin..."

The group understood Long Yuyao's words perfectly. The Ancient Demon Heavenly Palace was clearly different from other inheritance sites. Although they didn't know what taboos it had touched, it was, after all, a transcendent power. If they could obtain any inheritance from it, even just a trace, it would be incredibly attractive to all forces.

Before the group could speak, a burst of spiritual light suddenly appeared in the space, followed by a dark spiritual energy continuously condensing.

A colossal ancient demon, clad in black and gold brocade robes, appeared before them.

Although there was no fluctuation of spiritual energy, just a glance from him was enough to make people tremble all over.

The ancient demon's eyes were filled with coldness, fixed intently on the people in front of him.

"I never imagined that more than 10,000 years had already passed."

"Finally, someone else has been able to get into this place."

“I know you want the inheritance power of my ancient demon clan. I have no other tests for you. You only need to do one thing for me, and I will be able to hand over the inheritance here to you.”

These words were spoken.

A hint of wariness also appeared in Bai Qingmo's eyes. The reason they came to this Eternal Origin Heaven Secret Realm was because the two of them were not worried about any inheritance assessment.

But now that the ancient demon has said this, it's clear that things aren't so simple. The words of the Horned Earth Dragon earlier were already very clear: the ancient demon race is even more brutal and terrifying than imagined.

Therefore, there must be something good happening in the Heavenly Palace.

Thinking of this, Bai Qingmo slowly spoke:

"Senior, please speak frankly."

A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Yao's mouth at this moment.

"very good."

"To obtain the inherited power of my Heavenly Palace, I need you to sacrifice the entire sect behind you."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Bai Qingmo's brows furrowed slightly. He had already guessed that this ancient demon was up to no good, but now it seemed even more disgusting than he had imagined.

Sacrifice the entire sect's power behind them?

It's amazing that he could come up with such a small request.

Long Yuyao and the others were clearly a little nervous. Although they hadn't known each other for very long, they were very clear about Bai Qingmo's personality. They would never do such a thing just for a place of inheritance.

Not to mention, this ancient demon may not know the terrifying power of the Misty Sect behind it all, but since this is now in the Heavenly Palace, the power is not in their hands.

It now seems very likely that things will turn sour.

Before they could speak again, Bai Qingmo's voice rang out once more.

"You really know how to joke."

"If I say no, would you still be willing to let us leave today?"

"Hahaha..."

The ancient demon's laughter immediately echoed throughout the Heavenly Palace, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"You may not know what the inheritance of the ancient demon lineage truly represents."

"Since you're unwilling, do you think any of you will be able to leave here alive today?"

Do you even have a choice?

As they spoke, a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped them. Lin Chong, whose cultivation was the lowest, slumped down and knelt directly on the ground.

A dull thud resounded.

Bai Qingmo's gaze did not falter in the slightest, remaining fixed on the ancient demon.

"They don't really think we're that easy to bully, do they?"

"You can't even live, you've already died once, what chance do you have of turning the world upside down?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

A spirit array flashed, followed by the emergence of a light screen, which then enveloped the entire Heavenly Palace.

Endless killing intent swirled, and the power of the Great Dao continuously condensed.

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from the surroundings, a strange glint flashed in the eyes of the ancient demon.

"I never expected that any of you would possess an Emperor Array Spirit."

"It seems they have quite a background. No wonder they look down on the lineage of my ancient demons."

"But you don't actually think you can take me down just like that, do you?"

"Isn't that a bit too naive?"

As they were speaking, a beam of light suddenly descended from outside the light barrier. The moment it made contact, the light barrier that had been formed shattered in their sight.

Immediately following was the ancient demon's punch, and the entire array spirit vanished from sight without leaving a trace.

Seeing this, Long Yuyao and the others were dumbfounded. None of them expected that the Emperor Array Spirit would have no effect on this ancient demon. This meant that the ancient demon's strength had far exceeded the Emperor Realm, otherwise it would not have had such an effect.

Even Bai Qingmo and the others' expressions changed slightly at this moment.
