“Everything is within my calculations.” “As for you, although you have temporarily escaped, you are actually extremely weak. Once I devour your original magic power, my cultivation will naturally increase greatly, so your plan will only serve to benefit me.” “At that time, I will become the first person in the Tianwu Continent, a truly supreme existence. After absorbing your original magic power, I will also gain the ability to dominate the Demon Tribe, achieving a perfect outcome for myself.” “Shitian Demon Lord, since you have already been rendered useless, just continue to slumber here, and let me complete the grand plan in your heart.” Shangguan Xi'er spoke eloquently, leaving everyone in shock.
It turned out that there was such a conspiracy and plan behind this, just as Qin Chen had suspected, it was entirely orchestrated by the Piao Miao Palace. She had realized that the timing was ripe, which is why she released the news to attract everyone here. Meanwhile, the experts from Tianlei City and various major forces were completely in the dark, willingly walking into her trap, becoming tools for Shangguan Xi'er.
This person was truly ruthless; not only did she scheme against them, but even some of the experts under her command became sacrifices. Shitian Demon Lord remained silent, seemingly completely struck by Shangguan Xi'er's words. “Elder, is… is this true?” Tongtian Demon Lord was also shocked; it turned out it was merely a substitute? “Hehe, half true, half false.” A cold voice echoed, belonging to Shitian Demon Lord: “I never expected that among the human race, there would be someone like you. Impressive, truly impressive; even I must admire you.”
In Shitian Demon Lord's voice, there was a hint of admiration, without any trace of anger or shock. Had it completely accepted reality and willingly submitted? Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xi'er frowned, feeling that something was off. “Human Empress, do you know why I am called Shitian Demon Lord?” Shitian Demon Lord's voice suddenly turned ferocious, “With your little tricks, you think you can devour my original magic power? How naive.”
“Boom!” Within the protective shield, a terrifying amount of magic power surged forth, and then Shangguan Xi'er was shocked to discover that she could no longer draw from Shitian Demon Lord's magic power; instead, the strands of original magic power she had previously drawn began to flow back to him. “How is this possible?” Shangguan Xi'er was alarmed. She urged her true essence to resist Shitian Demon Lord's devouring force, but it was futile.
“Rumble!” Finally, the protective shield completely shattered, and Shitian Demon Lord stretched out his hands, his body surrounded by demonic energy, roaring like a celestial demon. His body had not been struck by the Tianmo War Pick; what the pick struck was merely a phantom before him. “You weren’t injured; how is this possible?” Shangguan Xi'er exclaimed in shock.
The fact that Tongtian Demon Lord had been struck before was merely an act. “Hahaha, how could it be impossible? I never believed you from the very beginning. The cunning of humanity, I have experienced many times in ancient times, how could I easily trust you, an outsider? I merely wanted to see what tricks you were playing, but alas, your methods are truly disappointing.”
“Now, it’s time for me to make my move.” Shitian Demon Lord laughed heartily, and countless demonic patterns surged up around him. Instantly, a terrifying demonic might swept down, enveloping everyone in the grand hall. This demonic might was overwhelmingly powerful, shocking the ages. Moreover, a terrifying sucking force arrived, making everyone feel their blood and life force rapidly draining away.
“Jiejiejie, the reason I am called Shitian Demon Lord is because my devouring magic technique only allows me to devour others; no one has the qualification to devour me.” Shitian Demon Lord grinned wickedly, reaching out a hand towards Shangguan Xi'er and slamming down hard. Boom! The terrifying magic power surged, and Shangguan Xi'er was sent flying with a single strike, her face turning pale, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth once again.
