In the next moment, the Ancestor Demon Blood Scripture instantly radiated a brilliant light, and the blood-colored glow spread out like wildfire.
Shangguan Xi'er and the others were shocked to see that numerous black shadows had surrounded them densely. As these black shadows were illuminated by the blood-colored power of the Ancestor Demon Blood Scripture, they immediately revealed expressions of terror and were instantly swallowed by it.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of black shadows had been pulled over and merged into the Ancestor Demon Blood Scripture.
Buzz! The Ancestor Demon Blood Scripture shone brightly, with runes swirling around, forming a blood-colored halo that hovered around the body of the Swallowing Heaven Demon Lord, and a blood-colored arrow formed, pointing in the direction of a certain location ahead.
If Qin Chen were here, he would immediately recognize that the direction the arrow pointed to was precisely where the three forks in the road he had just left were located.
"Right in that direction." A black shadow from the Demon Tribe chuckled sinisterly, retracting the Ancestor Demon Blood Scripture. The black-clothed Swallowing Heaven Demon Lord's body swayed as if it had been drained of energy, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Under the pressure of the Ancestor Demon Blood Scripture, only the black shadow from the Demon Tribe that had been following Shangguan Xi'er remained fearless; the other members of the Demon Tribe felt an instinctive fear from the depths of their hearts.
"My lord, since the Ancestor Demon Blood Scripture can devour these black shadows to restore power, why not let it swallow all the black shadows in this world? If that were the case, the strength of our Demon Tribe could increase just by relying on the Ancestor Demon Blood Scripture, right?" The Swallowing Heaven Demon Lord questioned with some confusion.
"Ke ke ke, Swallowing Heaven, you are still too naive. Do you really think these black shadows are merely the demonic energy transformed from the unconscious strong of the Abyss Demon Tribe?" The black shadow laughed wickedly. "The reason why the strong of the Abyss Demon Tribe could emit such a large amount of demonic energy before being suppressed is not by accident. This demonic energy can search for nutrients for the strong of the Abyss Demon Tribe, ensuring that they do not fall due to exhaustion of power during the billions of years of suppression. If I truly used the Ancestor Demon Blood Scripture to devour the power of these black shadows, forget about whether the Ancestor Demon Blood Scripture has such an appetite or not; once we anger those strong of the Abyss Demon Tribe in the heavenly realm, we can forget about leaving here alive today."
The Swallowing Heaven Demon Lord was startled, while Shangguan Xi'er frowned and asked, "Does that mean the strong of the Abyss Demon Tribe suppressed in ancient times haven't died?"
How could that be possible?
Everyone learned from the black shadow of the Demon Tribe that the time the Abyss Demon Tribe strong were suppressed far surpassed the history of the Demon Tribe invading the Tianwu Continent. With such a long duration, even the most powerful would have perished, right? Moreover, it was rumored that these strong of the Abyss Demon Tribe were suppressed here by other strong from the heavenly realm.
"How strong the strong of the Abyss Demon Tribe are, no one knows. However, when the heavenly strong made their move to suppress them, they did not kill these Abyss Demon Tribe members but rather suppressed them here. This shows that the Abyss Demon Tribe is not to be underestimated. If they could simply perish, our Demon Tribe would not have suffered complete annihilation and gone missing without a trace when we invaded this space sealing tens of thousands of years ago. You must know that the leader of our invading force back then was a Demon Lord."
The black shadow of the Demon Tribe laughed sinisterly, seeming to be filled with awe and imagination for the Abyss Demon Tribe.
