"Burning the Spirit? This young man is quite decisive."
Seeing the Lord of Destruction burning his soul and turning it into black flames, he cast black bone claws, which greatly increased his power. He broke free from the siege and crushing of the huge vortex in his space and flew away.
A trace of helplessness flashed across the gray-robed old man's face.
If he could be a hundred years younger, even if the Demon Lord of Destruction burned his soul, he would not be able to escape.
Unfortunately, his life span is almost over, his blood and energy are depleted, and he cannot fully display his cultivation. Otherwise, his essence will be consumed, and his remaining life span will be even more stretched, and he can only watch the other party leave.
But it’s better this way. If the black bone claws were really left behind, the Demon Lord of Extinction would probably go crazy.
A top-grade magic weapon is an absolute treasure even for the Seven Tribulations Soul, and he will definitely not give it up.
If a fight really breaks out, the demons will definitely not sit idly by.
Right now, the Nether Palace does not want to engage in a full-scale conflict with the demons, so this result is acceptable.
As the Lord of Destruction took away his magic weapon, peace returned to the trial space.
The man with the elephant trunk in the distance, as well as the Taoist from Daoxu Temple, were both gasping for breath, their faces filled with the look of having survived a disaster.
When the Lord of Destruction struck them with his palm, they really thought they were going to die.
I didn't expect that there would be a turn of events in the end and I could still survive. It was really heart-to-heart.
Only Lu Qing's eyes remained calm.
He did not feel sorry that the Demon Lord of Extinction took away the black bone claws.
Not to mention that he couldn't refine the magic weapon. When he used his supernatural powers to investigate information earlier, he knew that the black bone claw was still under the control of the Demon Lord of Annihilation and it was impossible for it to fall into his hands.
Instead, he was surprised by the appearance of the old man in gray.
Originally, he had planned to use the secret realm stone tablet to directly escape from this space, but now it seems that he may not need to use this trump card.
However, Lu Qing still did not relax his vigilance, and his mind was always focused on the secret realm stone tablet.
As soon as there is something wrong, it will be launched immediately.
"Boy, you're pretty good."
The old man in gray sighed for a while, then suddenly turned his head, looked Lu Qing up and down, and smiled.
"Thank you for your kind words, senior." Lu Qing said calmly.
"This is not an exaggeration. You are able to face the Devil Lord of Destruction in the Golden Core Realm and remain neither humble nor arrogant, without changing your expression. I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can match your determination."
Lu Qing shook his head slightly, but said nothing more.
The reason why he remained calm when facing the clone of the Demon Lord of Extinction was because he had enough confidence to survive.
In this case, there is naturally no need to bow down and show weakness to it.
If he didn't have the secret realm stone tablet as a trump card, he probably wouldn't be so calm.
Of course, the inside story cannot be told to others.
So he bowed deeply to the gray-robed old man and said, "Thank you very much for saving me, senior. Otherwise, I would have been torn to pieces and completely destroyed."
"These are all minor matters." The gray-robed old man waved his hand and said, "This trial is held by our Netherworld Palace, so naturally, no one else can interfere. Let alone a mere Devil Lord of Destruction, even if the Devil Lord of Black Sky came, he would still be beaten back!"
Black Sky Demon Lord?
Hearing this name, Lu Qing's heart moved slightly.
He remembered that the demon cultivator whose soul was enslaved by him in the Lihuo Cauldron was one of the 108 demon generals under the command of the Black Sky Demon Lord in his previous life.
The black bone claw just now is also called the Black Sky Demon Claw.
It seems that this Black Sky Demon Lord must be one of the most powerful demon lords among the demons.
However, Lu Qing did not ask about these things, but said carefully: "Senior, the trial has not yet ended, and I still need to continue collecting trial jade tokens, you see..."
"There's no rush for this. With your strength, you're bound to take first place in this trial. There's no doubt about it. Didn't you just save the little girl from the Biluo Palace? Release her. I have a history with her master, so I owe you a favor."
The old man in gray was not in a hurry to let Lu Qing go, but spoke to him somewhat embarrassedly.
In fact, this was also the reason why he took the initiative to ask to come out and stop the Demon Lord of Extinction. He couldn't bear to see Lu Qing really kill the Holy Maiden of the Biluo Palace.
"So that's what happened. Senior, please don't misunderstand me. I said those words to provoke the evil spirit, and I didn't mean to offend the girl."
Lu Qing explained, then waved his hand gently and released the Holy Maiden of the Biluo Palace from the Lihuo Cauldron.
Anyway, when he put it into the Lihuo Ding, he had already isolated it with a space cage, so he was not worried that the woman would discover the secret inside the Lihuo Ding.
When the Saint Maiden of the Biluo Palace was released, there was still a look of confusion on her face.
She was locked up by Lu Qing in a space cage inside the Lihuo Ding. It was pitch black all around and she could not sense anything.
Now that he was suddenly released, he was unable to react for a while.
"Miss, I apologize for any offense I may have caused you earlier. Senior, please reminisce about the past. I will take my leave now."
After Lu Qing released the Holy Maiden of the Biluo Palace, he didn't care what she felt. After obtaining the consent of the old man in gray, he immediately turned into a stream of light and flew away.
Not knowing what the gray-clothed old man was thinking, he didn't even go to snatch the trial jade talismans from the elephant-nosed man and the Taoist master of Daoxu Temple, and simply disappeared into the sky.
This scene made the Saint Maiden of Biluo Palace even more confused.
She naturally recognized that Lu Qing was the person who saved her from the evil demon and then imprisoned her.
But what about that evil demon? And who is this old man in front of her, whose aura is calm but who makes her feel awe involuntarily?
"I know you have a lot of questions right now, but for now, you should heal first."
The old man in gray threw out a bottle of pills, which landed in the hands of the Holy Maiden of the Biluo Palace.
The Saintess of Biluo Palace was holding the elixir, somewhat bewildered: "Senior, what on earth is this..."
"For the specific situation, you can ask the boy lying down below. I'm leaving first."
However, the old man in gray did not give her the chance to ask in detail. After leaving a few words, his figure gradually faded and finally disappeared.
Looking at this scene, the Holy Maiden of the Biluo Palace was shocked again.
She couldn't figure out how the old man left.
It was obvious that the other party was a senior master whose understanding was difficult for her to guess.
Looking at the pill in her hand, the Saint of Biluo Palace hesitated for a moment, but finally took out one and swallowed it.
After taking the pill and the medicinal effect took effect, she soon felt that her injuries were improving rapidly.
He was suddenly pleasantly surprised, knowing that there was no problem with the pill, and flew down to Daoxu Temple's Taoist priest.
The man with the elephant trunk in the distance breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old man in gray disappear. His heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
He glanced at the Saint Maiden of the Biluo Palace and the Taoist Master of the Daoxu Temple who were meeting up, and also did nothing and left quietly.
And this time, he was no longer as ostentatious as when he first came.
After witnessing the fight between the gray-robed old man and the Lord of Destruction, the man with the elephant trunk already knew that this trial was far from as simple as he had imagined, and that it was very complicated.
Moreover, the strength displayed by Lu Qing also deeply shocked him.
He had never imagined that the Jindan realm could be so powerful.
Compared to him, who is also at the realm of perfection of the ninth transformation of the golden elixir, I am much worse, and it is not even on the same level.
How did that man with the ghost mask practice?
"I didn't expect it to be the Gray-robed Venerable who came out. I thought it would be another Venerable who took action."
In the mysterious space, the dozen or so mysterious figures became agitated again after seeing that everything was settled.
"It's rumored that the Gray-Robed Venerable has a past with the old Palace Master of the Azure Sky Palace. Now it seems that this is true."
"Of course. I think the Grey-Robed Venerable came out for this reason."
"Shut up! Are you allowed to discuss the affairs of the venerables?"
"The Devil Lord of Silence has lost a spiritual power, which is a serious loss. I'm afraid it will take at least 10 to 20 years for him to recover through cultivation."
"It's a pity that we couldn't keep the black bone claw, otherwise our Nether Palace would have gained a top-grade magic weapon."
"Just think about it. A top-grade magic weapon is already considered the foundation of the Demon Realm. If we really keep it, I'm afraid the other Demon Lords in the Demon Realm will have something to say."
"Yes, although we in the Netherworld Palace are not afraid, there is no need to really go to war with the Demon Realm right now."
A group of mysterious figures started talking.
They were not surprised that the clone of the Demon Lord of Extinction was destroyed.
A newly promoted seven-tribulation soul, although powerful, can dominate the Demon Realm.
But in front of their Netherworld Palace, it is nothing.
Any elder who comes out can destroy his original spirit.
On the contrary, Lu Qing’s previous performance was more likely to arouse their interest.
"Do you think that with the performance of this kid with the ghost mask, he will be noticed by that master and accepted as his disciple?"
"It's hard to say. This kid with the ghost mask is definitely the most incredible genius I've ever seen, but he obviously has someone behind him. I wonder what that master would think of this."
"Yes, there is clearly something fishy about his background. That master might not be willing to accept such a disciple."
"Let's keep watching. The first place in this trial is obviously the kid with the ghost face mask. Let's see how the higher-ups will arrange him."
After discussing for a while, the group of mysterious figures continued to focus their attention on Lu Qing.
The facts were no different from what they predicted.
In the following time, the Ghost Face Mask continued to look for other strong people and snatch the trial jade talismans from them.
And perhaps it was because he was almost killed by the slap of the Demon Lord of Extinction before.
The boy with the ghost mask treated the strong men of the human and demon races relatively well. He basically only injured them but did not kill them. He only took away the trial jade talismans on them.
But once he encounters a demon, no matter whether the opponent admits defeat or not, he will kill it with one sword without even giving it a chance to beg for mercy.
Just like that, the group of mysterious figures saw that Lu Qing didn't spend too much time, and the trial jade talismans on his body had exceeded half of the total number, firmly occupying the first place.
Swish!
Lu Qing moved his sword finger lightly, and the sword energy flew out, cutting off the head of a demon with the seventh level of magic pill, and taking away everything on the other party.
"Well, the number of jade talismans collected has reached 60% of the total."
Lu Qing checked the virtual space inside the trial jade talisman. Judging from the number of white dots, the number of jade talismans in his hand had reached about 60% of the total.
In other words, even if he stopped looting now, his position as the first in this trial was unshakable.
In addition to the trial jade talisman, Lu Qing also gained many other things.
For example, some of the storage magic weapons on those Jindan realm masters still have quite a few spirit stones, which can make him a little richer.
Lu Qing had no psychological burden about this kind of robbery.
Since they dared to come and participate in the trial of the Nether Palace, these trial-takers should have been prepared for death.
The rules of the trial in the Nether Palace this time obviously require them to fight each other.
In this case, he spared the lives of those trial-takers and only took away their treasures, which could be considered very merciful.
As for demons, it is true that he has a very bad impression of demons because of Cang Jue and Jiemie Demon Lord.
And every demon that encountered him was extremely hostile and wanted to eat him alive.
In this regard, Lu Qing naturally killed everyone without mercy, leaving no one alive.
"It's a pity that the spirit stones used by these demons for cultivation have been contaminated by demonic energy and are difficult to use."
Lu Qing was looking at a spirit stone in his hand.
However, unlike ordinary spirit stones, this spirit stone has bursts of black air surging inside, which looks quite strange.
Lu Qing knew that the environment of the Demon Realm was very different from the territory of the human race.
Even the spirit stones produced were contaminated with demonic energy.
If you want to absorb the spiritual energy inside, you must purify the evil energy inside. Otherwise, you will easily be infected by the evil energy, which will at best damage your cultivation, and at worst you will fall into the path of evil.
“I wonder if the [Immortal Witch Body] can refine this demonic energy.”
Weighing the demonic spirit stone in his hand, Lu Qing suddenly had an idea.
[The Indestructible Heavenly Witch Body] was created by the supreme being of the Witch Clan after observing all kinds of calamity beasts in the world, as well as various other cultivation methods.
What he is best at is refining various alien energies and strengthening himself.
When one reaches a high level of cultivation, one can even absorb thunder and strengthen oneself.
A mere demonic energy should not be enough to defeat this supreme martial art.
Although his mind was turning, Lu Qing did not start the experiment immediately.
Ever since the old man in gray appeared, he had been alert, knowing that in this space, the people from the Nether Palace could observe the movements of the trial-takers.
Therefore, as for things like refining demonic energy, it’s better to wait until you get out and find a safe place to try it out.
However, if his guess comes true, then he will have another way to practice in the future.
After putting away the demonic spirit stone in his hand, Lu Qing did not continue to look for the next target this time.
Instead, he casually carved a cave in a mountain, went inside, and meditated to regulate his breathing.
Since he already has the most jade talismans, there is no need to do anything extra.
After all, everything that happens in space is most likely under the observation of the Nether Palace.
If you go too far, you don’t know how the other person will react.
Anyway, the time for the trial to end is not far away.
In this way, Lu Qing stayed in the cave, waiting for the trial to end.
Perhaps because he occupied too many trial jade talismans, the other trial participants realized the gap.
While he was waiting quietly, no one came to bother him.
Finally, three days passed in a flash, and it was time for the trial to end.
A pillar of light reaching the sky suddenly appeared in the trial space.
