Chapter 306: Glenru
"The Lord of Destruction is definitely not as simple as you seem, and I even suspect that none of the Lords of Destruction we see today are actually the Lord of Destruction himself. Glenru's voice was solemn.
"What?" Ling Aotian and Brace exclaimed almost at the same time, the Lord of Destruction is not the Lord of Destruction himself, this speculation is undoubtedly extremely bold, Ling Aotian guessed that there were twelve Lords of Destruction, it was already terrifying enough, but now Granru's words are even more terrifying, if the Lord of Destruction himself has not yet appeared, doesn't it mean that the Lord of Destruction has someone else, and he can control the twelve strong people for his use, how powerful is it? This question, just thinking about it is enough to make people creepy, of course, if this person has been appearing on the bright side, it can still be accepted, but all this time, almost no one knows about his existence, which makes it even more frightening.
"Glenru, you kid aren't being alarmist, are you?" asked Brace.
"Hmph!" Glenru snorted coldly and looked at Brace, "If it weren't for someone else behind the Lord of Destruction, do you think you would still have a chance to stand in front of me alive?" A thick aura emanated from Glenru's body.
Feeling the evil aura on Glenru's body, Blaise subconsciously took a step back, he can be regarded as a high-ranking power in the Imperial Alliance, but for Glenru, he is subconsciously a little jealous.
"My lord, why be angry, you can tell us about the Lord of Destruction who may be hiding behind the scenes!" Ling Aotian exuded his own aura, easily blocking Glanru's aura.
Seeing that Ling Aotian easily blocked the evil aura he emanated, a hint of surprise appeared on Granru's face: "Sure enough, it lives up to its reputation!"
Ling Aotian smiled slightly and looked at Granru: "Your Excellency doesn't want to try your skills and talk about it in detail, right?"
Glenru put away his momentum, waved his hand, and said, "There's no need for that, I'm not your opponent." β
Seeing that Gran Lu had put away his momentum, Ling Aotian also retracted his momentum: "I don't know what basis people have for saying that the current Lord of Destruction is not the Lord of Destruction himself. β
Glenru looked at the two of them for a while and said, "Let's go inside and talk!"
Ling Aotian didn't say much about Granlu's request, and directly followed Granlu into the palace.
The inside of the main hall was dilapidated and dusty as far as the eye could see.
Ling Aotian's gaze was quickly attracted by the broken statues in the main hall, in the ruined hall that was only two hundred square meters, twelve fierce-looking statues stood on both sides of the main hall, and directly above the twelve statues was a gentle and elegant statue that looked a little out of place with the twelve statues.
"This is ......" Ling Aotian's heart shook suddenly.
"The Twelve Demon Venerables!" said Granru.
Ling Aotian's gaze fell on the third statue outside of the twelve statues: "This is the other person you are talking about?"
Glanru nodded and said, "I think you should all know about the existence of the Twelve Demon Venerables, but I'm afraid you don't know that the Twelve Demon Venerables are just doppelgangers of others. β
Ling Aotian immediately understood what Granru meant: "The person in the middle is the body of the Twelve Demon Venerables?"
Granru nodded and said: "You must have known about the Demon God Slaying Heaven back then, but after so many years, there are many things that have been covered up in history, for example, the Twelve Demon Venerables of the year, in all the legends, almost all know that there are twelve fierce generals under the hands of the Demon God Slaying Heaven, known as the Twelve Demon Venerables, but no one knows, in fact, behind the Twelve Demon Venerables, there is a far more powerful existence than the Twelve Demon Venerables, the Holy Demon Venerable." β
"What is the strength of the Holy Demon Venerable?" Ling Aotian asked, looking at the gentle and elegant statue in the main hall.
"The strength of the Holy Demon Venerable is only inferior to that of the Demon God Tu Tian, back then, it was precisely because of the help of the Holy Demon Venerable that the Demon God Tu Tian was able to sweep the entire world. Granru said.
"The Holy Demon Venerable is so powerful, so why didn't he personally take action in the first battle, but just sent the Twelve Demon Venerables. Ling Aotian asked the doubts in his heart.
"In that big battle, the Holy Demon Venerable naturally made a move, but he encountered an opponent whose strength was not weaker than him, and it was his opponent who kept pestering him, making it impossible for him to personally go to help the Demon God Tu Tian, so that the Demon God Tu Tian was finally sealed. β
"My lord, you are so clear about this matter, could it be that the person who dealt with the Holy Demon Venerable in the first place has something to do with you?" Ling Aotian almost guessed the identity of Glenru.
Gran Lu didn't hide it, and said directly: "That's right, it was the ancestor who fought with the Holy Demon Venerable at the beginning, back then, the ancestor and the Heaven Snatching Sword Monarch fought against the Demon God Slayer Heaven, and when the Heaven Snatching Sword Lord fought with the Demon God Slayer Heaven, the ancestor was responsible for dealing with the Holy Demon Venerable. β
"Glenru, what happened to the Holy Demon Venerable?" asked Brace.
"Back then, the Heaven Snatching Sword Monarch used his strong strength to confront the Demon God Slaughtering Heaven and finally defeated him, however, just when the Heaven Snatching Sword Monarch was about to permanently seal the Demon God Slaughtering Heaven, the Holy Demon Venerable, who was inseparable from the ancestors, forcibly induced his forbidden art to kill the God Strike, and let his twelve clones sneak attack the Heaven Snatching Sword Monarch, which made the seal of the Heaven Snatching Sword Monarch appear loophole, and the Twelve Demon Venerables were finally directly destroyed by the Heaven Snatching Sword Monarch, and the Holy Demon Venerable also lost his strength and suffered a great loss, and finally lost under the hands of the ancestors. β
"Haven't the Holy Demon Venerable and the Twelve Demon Venerable all fallen, how could they reappear in this world again?" Brace was a little confused.
Granru glanced at Brace, sighed and said: "The strength has not reached the level of the ancestors, you can't understand the strength of the strong people at that level, at the beginning, although the Holy Demon Venerable and the Twelve Demon Venerable have indeed fallen, but their soul marks are indelible, this indelible soul imprint, floating in the heavens and the earth, once you meet someone who matches their physique, they can be resurrected." β
Granru's words made Ling Aotian and Blaise completely stunned, I have to say that Granru was extremely right, now they really can't understand that after a person dies, he can still be resurrected.
Gran Ru didn't bother to pay attention to whether the two of them understood, and then narrated: "Back then, after the ancestor destroyed the Holy Demon Venerable, he actually didn't realize this problem, it was the Heaven Snatching Sword Monarch who told him about this matter when he was dying, and after learning about this situation, the ancestor immediately began to act, and it took countless hours to finally find the soul imprints of the Holy Demon Venerable and the Twelve Demon Venerables, seal them into these statues, and then hand them over to our clan to guard these statues for generations. β
"Later, did something happen?" Looking at the twelve broken statues, Ling Aotian realized that things would definitely not be so simple, after all, now the reincarnation of the twelve demon venerables had appeared on the mainland.
Glenru smiled bitterly and said, " Indeed, back then, after the ancestors gave the task of guarding the soul imprints of the Holy Demon Venerable and the Twelve Demon Venerables, our clan has been staying in this Ludas Mountain Range, for fear of a little accident, who knows, even though our clan is so careful, but something has happened, more than two thousand years ago, the Sky Snatching Sword, which has long since disappeared, will appear on the continent again, the strong man with the Sky Snatching Sword broke into the Rudas Mountains, injured my grandfather, and then destroyed all the statues sealed with the Holy Demon Venerable and the Twelve Demon Venerables, and then walked away. β
"The statue that I was ordered to guard was destroyed, and my people were furious, but because of the great responsibility, they did not go to the man to take revenge, but repaired the broken statue again and resealed it. β
"Originally, when my grandfather was reinforcing the seal, he carefully inspected those statues, and the soul marks of the Holy Demon Venerable and the Twelve Demon Venerables were still in the statues, but no one thought that those soul marks would be so cunning in the future, and they would use fake marks to deceive my grandfather and escape. β
"Then when did you find out that the soul mark had disappeared?" Ling Aotian asked.
"The fake soul marks left by the Holy Demon Venerable and the Twelve Demon Venerables cannot last too long, about a thousand years later, when my father checked the situation of those statues, he found that the soul imprints of the Holy Demon Venerable and the Twelve Demon Venerables had completely disappeared, and my father felt that the situation was not good, so he handed over the task of taking care of the statues of the temple to me, who had just been born, and went out to explore the soul imprints of the Holy Demon Venerable. β
"My father has been looking for hundreds of years in the outside world, but he has never been able to find the soul imprints of the Holy Demon Venerable and the Twelve Demon Venerables, and when he was dying, he returned to the Rudas Mountains and told me everything, in order to find out those soul imprints, he left the Rudas Mountains and established a country on the Eastern Continent, and at this time, the Lord of Destruction appeared, and I quickly felt the breath of the Twelve Demon Venerables from his body, so I understood that the Twelve Demon Venerables had found a suitable person for themselves and were resurrectedγ β
"Knowing that the Twelve Demon Venerables were resurrected, I originally wanted to make a move, kill the other party, and regain the soul mark of the Twelve Demon Venerables, but when I found one of the Lords of Destruction and fought him, I was defeated. β
When he said this, a look of dejection appeared on Glenru's face, but his dejected color was quickly swept away, and he said: "After losing to the Lord of Destruction, I realized that with my strength, if I want to reseal the soul marks of the Holy Demon Venerable and the Twelve Demon Venerables, I will not succeed at all, but I must respect the Ancestor's will, so I thought of me." β
Seeing Gran Lu's gaze towards him, Ling Aotian smiled bitterly and said secretly: This may be fate!
