Seeing the Grand Commander, who had fled dozens of miles away, turn into a cloud of blood mist, the Supreme Demon Ancestor was not surprised at all. Obviously, this was all within his expectations. After the Tongshi Pill returned, the Supreme Demon Ancestor glanced at it indifferently and then paid no more attention to it, focusing all his energy on the tribulation clouds above his head...
How could this be? If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the divine calamity, which should have appeared three thousand years later, had appeared without any warning. This is not right!
The Supreme Demon Ancestor's fingers flew, and he used the Mind-Body Technique to its fullest extent. He had studied this technique for thousands of years, but it was still like a vast ocean, its source unknown. However, it was thanks to this technique that he had everything he had in Demon Mountain!
The most domineering aspect of this technique is not its earth-shattering power, but rather that through its calculations and deductions, one can glimpse a trace of the principles governing the flow of destiny. It sounds somewhat mysterious, but simply put, it's similar to 'fortune telling,' except that unlike fortune telling, this technique cannot be used to predict others; it can only be used to predict oneself!
Otherwise, how could the Supreme Demon Ancestor have accurately calculated the day when the Divine Tribulation would descend?
Cultivation is about seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. It involves gathering all the power in the world that benefits oneself and working together to achieve a sliver of hope to reach the summit. During this long period, countless dangers are lurking, and some of these dangers cannot be resolved simply by having strong strength!
The Supreme Demon Ancestor's achievements today are largely due to the power of the Mind-Body-Spirit system. However, the Mind-Body-Spirit system that he now wholeheartedly admires and which has been invincible seems to have failed. The results he previously deduced have changed, and not only have they changed, but they have also become too unbelievable and untraceable!
Perhaps he was careless and only calculated how to refine the Tongshi Pill, without spending more time to deduce what would happen next. But now that the divine tribulation is looming over him, he doesn't have enough time to prepare. This divine tribulation is no different from a death calamity for him!
"Hmm? So it was a sudden change in fate that caused all the previous predictions to fail! What exactly caused this sudden change?"
The Supreme Demon Ancestor's face was ashen, his eyes twitching. Time ticked by, and he felt himself getting closer and closer to annihilation. It seemed as if the Demon Mountain beneath his feet was constantly stripping away its connection with him. Damn it, this is absolutely not right. If it weren't for me, how could there be a Demon Mountain!
...
Li Sisui gazed at the Tongshi Pill that had returned, its exotic fragrance filling the air. His previously dormant heart stirred once more. However, the Supreme Demon Ancestor's cold words were like a bucket of cold water, forcing him to carefully weigh his options before seizing the pill. Clearly, while the Tongshi Pill was delicious, one had to be alive to enjoy it. If he wasn't exceptionally talented, he might end up like the Grand Commander!
One man's meat is another man's poison!
At this moment, Li Sisui was also caught in a dilemma. Leng Rushuang in his arms was on the verge of death. To live or to die, that was the question. He knew it, but did anyone know the answer?
However, the current situation is still favorable to him. Just as the Grand Commander said, the Supreme Demon is focused on the Heavenly Tribulation above his head and has no time to pay attention to him. But this delicate and fragrant Tongshi Pill may bring Leng Rushuang back to life and make her soar to the sky, or it may cause her to explode on the spot and perish!
To eat or not to eat, that is the question...
For Li Sisui, who suffers from severe decision-making difficulties, the current situation is a hundred times more painful than being killed!
"Kid, does the bet from earlier still stand?"
Li Sisui was hesitating on the spot when the Supreme Demon Ancestor in mid-air suddenly spoke. He looked around and, seeing that there was no one else besides him, paused slightly and said:
"You can't even protect yourself right now, how can you gamble?"
The Supreme Demon Ancestor glanced at the increasingly loud thunderous tribulation clouds overhead and said solemnly:
"Alright, kid, I've lost the bet. Now, tell me what you want, but you'd better hurry, I don't have much time left..."
As he spoke, the Supreme Demon Ancestor pointed to the dark, oppressive tribulation clouds overhead, his face grave.
Um?
Why did this old devil suddenly make a 180-degree turn? Since it's a bet, how can he admit defeat without even agreeing on what to bet on? This is clearly giving away his power, something's not right!
Li Sisui smiled knowingly and said:
"Since you're so kind, then... I have much more to ask for. I wonder if you..."
The Supreme Demon Ancestor interrupted directly, speaking in a gruff voice:
"Stop arguing, just tell me what you need, time is of the essence!"
Speaking of time, even the Demon Ancestor, who had remained expressionless, showed a hint of anxiety. The pressure above his head grew stronger and stronger, and his black robes fluttered without wind. He had already sensed the threat of the divine tribulation and automatically activated his protective function!
"You...you're just being so direct? Well then, save the person in my arms first!"
"Save...save people?"
The Supreme Demon Ancestor was visibly taken aback, clearly not expecting Li Sisui's first request to be for saving lives. His usual work, and his forte, was killing; this sudden request to save lives felt like a step outside his comfort zone. However, he only paused slightly before nodding and saying:
"No problem! Tongshi Pill, see it? Eat it! As long as there's a breath left, it can bring the dead back to life, quick!"
As she spoke, as if afraid that Li Sisui might have some other ideas, she lightly tapped the air with her other hand. The Tongshi Pill seemed to have a spirit and flew towards Li Sisui. In the blink of an eye, Li Sisui was surrounded by a rich and exotic fragrance. The fragrance was so strong that it was almost suffocating!
"This...no, this thing will self-destruct! Who would dare eat it? Do you think I'm stupid?! I asked you to save people, not kill them!"
Li Sisui was also getting a little anxious. With his keen sense of touch, he realized that Leng Rushuang was really Leng Rushuang now. If she was on the verge of death just now, she was basically in the stage of her soul being scattered. From the perspective of modern medicine, Leng Rushuang was completely dead. If they weren't all cultivators, he wouldn't have any hope left!
But at this critical moment, this old devil actually wanted him to give Leng Rushuang the Tongshi Pill. He had just witnessed the Grand Commander take it and run a short distance before it exploded. He had been agonizing for a long time about whether to forcibly take it from her. If Leng Rushuang was ultimately killed by the Tongshi Pill, his conscience would never be at peace...
Boom!
A thunderclap, seemingly exploding from the depths of their souls, resounded directly above their heads. Both Li Sisui and the Supreme Old Demon involuntarily looked up. The latter was even more shocked and furious, his face turning red and then pale. He turned his head and let out a strange howl at the Tongshi Pill in front of Li Sisui!
With a whistle, the Tongshi Pill erupted with a burst of red light. A thin, hair-like strand of red light separated from the pill and, like a dragon entering the sea, surged into the mouth of the Supreme Demon Ancestor. The previously rich, lingering fragrance vanished completely. The Supreme Demon Ancestor almost pleaded:
"Now all the potential problems are gone, please eat quickly!"
