Chapter 60: Swallowing Heaven Ancestor Elder
Gods and Demons Chaos Domain
This is an endless continent obscured by the dust of the stars, and there has been no daylight since its birth. The galaxy is bright all year round, the luminous glass, the secluded and desolate, and the eternal unchanged......
Black Magic Ridge
Hidden in the Xiongqi Mountains on the boundless wilderness, there are no people in a radius of thousands of miles, birds do not cross, animals do not exist, it is like a dead land, this is one of the top demon clans, the territory of the Heaven Swallowing Demon Clan.
In the depths of the winding mountains, there is a temple and soul hall that reflects the darkness of the surrounding environment.
In the glowing soul hall, on the first row of worship desks in front of you.
'Click!', a deep turquoise, ring-ruler-sized soul monument suddenly shattered.
The little demon boy who was concentrating on wiping the desk on the side looked for prestige, only to see that on the high position of the desk, the eye-catching soul tablet in that position was broken, and the jade fragments were all over the place.
"No, it's not bad......"
Seeing this scene, the wet cloth in the little demon boy's hand fell suddenly, his face suddenly turned pale, his speech was slurred, and his eyes showed unbelievable horror.
"Oh no! Oh no! The Great Protector's Soul Monument is broken!"
In a moment, the little demon boy who came back to his senses turned around and rushed out of the main hall, shouting loudly, and the sound resounded throughout the mountain......
The soul tablet is an offering used by the Swallowing Heaven Clan to record the life status of the clansmen. When each member of the Heaven Swallowing Clan is born, the patriarch will extract a drop of the newborn's soul blood through a secret method, lock it in a soul tablet, and store it in the soul hall.
In the future, the clansmen will go out to experience. If the volume of the blood droplets in the soul tablet decreases, it means that the person is losing qi and blood. If the blood droplets are reduced to nothing and the soul tablet is not broken, it means that the blood of its life has been lost, but the life soul is still there, and as long as there is a trace of soul, it can be found and recast. But if the soul tablet is broken, it means that the soul is gone, and the real soul is scattered, even if it is a top demon, it is powerless to return to the sky.
Inside the Soul Temple...
More than thirty gray-faced people in purple robes gathered in the main hall with solemn expressions and whispered about it. And the little demon boy stood tremblingly by the inner door of the main hall and waited, occasionally looking up at these people in the hall, he would be shocked into a cold sweat, and then bow his head heavily in fear.
It's no wonder that there is no other, it's really that these people have too high status, and they are all the ancestors of the Heaven Swallowing Clan. Each of them has the strength of 'king' level or above, one look can wipe out thousands of living beings, wherever the mind goes, the angry sea opens the way, the palm of the palm tears the space, and the earth collapses with one step......
Such a terrifying person, it is rare to see one of them in the clan for almost a thousand years on weekdays, but today because of the shattering of the Great Protector Soul Monument, all of them have arrived.
This kind of battle made this little demon boy, who was only 1.5 meters tall, feel dizzy and dizzy. The momentum naturally exuded by the ancestors alone made him breathe hard, his face turned green, and he seemed to be about to suffocate.
In fact, the little demon boy's cultivation is not too low. More than 500 years of longevity can reach the 'undead level early stage double', and this kind of strength is simply unrivaled in the human race.
After all, the highest cultivation of the Imperial Human Emperor was only 'Undead Rank Early Stage One'.
I saw these more than 30 Heaven Swallowing Ancestors, their bodies were black and gray, and their eyes were silver. The folds and shriveled all over the body are like a thousand-year-old corpse. The skin is cracked into a tortoiseshell-shaped, and the capillaries on the surface of the texture are clearly visible, bright red and shiny, all over the body.
On the forehead of each ancestor, the word "swallowing the sky" is engraved with a complicated seal, and the font is vivid and white. His hair was in a bun like a waterfall, and a golden ceremonial crown sat on top of his head. It is like an emperor and a sage, and his majesty is extraordinary, which makes people feel admired and bowed.
"I didn't expect that the boy would disappear after all...... Alas, if he had sensed that he was in danger and rescued him in time, perhaps it would not have been ......like this," one of the old women sighed with emotion.
"Elder Qian's words are wrong, if we had rescued him in the first place, then he would no longer be the Great Protector. With that kid's temper, such a shame might as well kill him......" Another middle-aged male elder stood up and said.
When he said this, everyone nodded silently, obviously agreeing with the latter's point of view.
For the Heaven-Swallowing Clan: dignity is greater than life!
If you let others know that you are in danger, you still need the clansmen to rescue you, not only will you appear cowardly and incompetent, and you will be ridiculed, but your status in the clan will also plummet, and I am afraid that you will not be able to raise your head for the rest of your life.
Not only that, but the rescued person will also have doubts about their own abilities, which will leave a demon in their hearts: they will no longer be omnipotent and invincible. This is extremely detrimental to their later practice...
This is true for ordinary clansmen, and even more so as the young leader of the whole clan, the Great Dharma Protector!
When faith is shaken, demons sprout. In the future, it will be difficult to break through the shackles of the mind and go to the next level.
Therefore, the arrogance of the demon race will never allow itself to fail! No matter how great the difficulty, it needs to be overcome by itself.
The Heaven-Swallowing Clan believes that only in the threat of death in a desperate situation can the true meaning of power be obtained and the strongest "magic power" can be discovered!
Therefore, the Heaven-Swallowing Clan often encourages young people to go out and experience and explore, and only those who survive the fierce waves are qualified to survive.
The title of "Great Protector" is selected by the Swallowing Heaven Clan from among the young clansmen, and can represent the strongest force of the younger generation of the Swallowing Heaven Clan. Its status in the clan is only after the patriarch and elders, and it can be said that it is supremely respected, and it is a position that countless young clansmen try their best to fight for. It is worth mentioning that above the status of the patriarch and the elder, is the ancestor!
It can be said that "as great as the glory, as deep as the difficulty." If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight.
More than 7,000 years ago, he won the title of "Great Protector" with the strength of less than 3,000 years of life in the early stage of the 'Holy War', and his growth potential is unlimited. It can be said that the entire Heaven Swallowing Clan is very optimistic about the future demon superstar, but such a demon superstar who carries a lot of trust is now falling like this, how can he not make the ancestors sigh.....
Even though the Heaven Swallowing Clan advocates the survival rule of supremacy of strength and encourages fierce competition with each other, it does not mean that the Heaven Swallowing Clan allows the Heaven Swallowing Clan to kill their fellow clans by any means behind their backs.
As the saying goes: the high place is not cold, the Heaven Swallowing Clan is the top demon race in the world among the demons, and it is not only necessary to guard against the threat of hostile races such as the God Race and the Immortal Race externally, but also to guard against the covetousness of other demons internally.
Therefore, uniting the strength of the whole clan to unite with the outside world is the foundation of the Swallowing Heaven Clan.
Competition and unity are the fundamental principles for the continuous development and growth of the entire Heaven Swallowing Clan. It is not allowed to be mutilated behind the back, and if there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the clansmen, they can make a "life and death order" in front of the patriarch and go to the ring to fight for life and death.
......
"Okay, the top priority now is to take back the Black Demon Flame in the body as soon as possible. After all, the Black Demon Flame is a sacred relic of our clan, and no one else will be allowed to touch it. Now that the Soul Monument has been shattered, it may be even more difficult to find the location of its fall. Ladies and gentlemen, what is the best solution?"
In the silence of the crowd, in the middle of the crowd, an elderly ancestor with a pestle and a dead wood cane suddenly walked out of the mouth.
"In the middle of the war between gods and demons, I left in a hurry without a single soldier, so I must have done a secret thing. Although we don't know what happened, but later we found out that his soul tablet was weakened and his soul was worry-free, and we only guessed that he might be trapped somewhere. I didn't expect this trap to be 7,000 years long. As an ancestor, it is not good for us to directly cast spells to save us, but it is the place where he is trapped, so we will speculate at that time...... It's on the Terran continent. The middle-aged clan elder revealed.
"Terran Continent... What is he going to do there? No matter what, there's no point in pursuing it anymore. Regarding the fall of the Great Protector, it is not allowed to be disclosed for the time being, in case there are unscrupulous people stealing the Black Demon Flame!" said the old man who looked old and old, stroked his long beard lightly, and said with a serious expression.
"Tomb Lao, this, I'm afraid it's a bit ...... to block the news now" The middle-aged ancestor glanced at the little demon boy in the corner, and stopped talking.
And the little demon boy who had been standing silently in the corner, after hearing the implication of the middle-aged patriarch, stiffened and was shocked, and fell to his knees with a 'poof':
"Ancestor spare his life! The little devil was only shocked for a moment before he shouted unintentionally, and asked the ancestor to forgive his sin and spare the little devil's life......"
The old man looked at the little demon boy who was prostrate on the ground begging for mercy and crying bitterly, and calmly clubbed the cane in his hand slightly.
Doodle......
Deadwood canes make a dull sound as they hit the ground. Suddenly, the space around the little demon boy began to distort sharply, and the distorted surface continued to expand, swallowing the little demon boy at once, and the little demon boy didn't even have time to scream until the end. A demon powerhouse who was enough to crush the Emperor of the Imperial People, was wiped out calmly and silently......
"Hmph, as a Heaven Swallowing Clan, making a big mistake and crying bitterly and behaving so cowardly, it is simply insulting to the integrity of our clan......" The tomb elder snorted coldly, very dissatisfied.
Seeing this high-ranking tomb elder speak, the rest of the ancestors were silent, and no one dared to object. Although they are both ancestors, their status in the clan is above the patriarch, but after all, the tomb elder in front of him has the strength of 'Hades level early stage one', far higher than everyone else, second only to the first powerhouse in the clan, after the Heaven Swallowing Emperor.
Among the Swallowing Heaven clan, anyone who can reach the "king-level" strength can become the ancestors of the Swallowing Heaven Clan, most of the younger ancestors have 30,000 years of life, and their strength is only worthy of "one weight in the early stage of the king level", and the tomb elder is close to 90,000 years of life. Such a lifespan is enough to make the human race unattainable.
The demon clan has a longevity of tens of thousands of years, and the top demon powerhouse can have a maximum of 100,000 years of life. But even so, those who can enter the "king level" are all great creators or rare geniuses.
......
"Regarding the recovery of the Black Demon Flame, it must be done in secret. Now those bullshit gods and other demon clan miscellaneous people are keeping a close eye on our clan's movements. It's not easy to hide from these pups. So leave this matter to the 'Shadow Clan'. It would be best for them to do this, ......," the old man then arranged.
"In addition, the order goes: the Heaven Swallowing Clan, if you don't have the Patriarch Pass Token, you are not allowed to go out. Today's matter, if anyone dares to leak half a sentence, the soul refining will be executed!" the old man of the tomb said with a cane, and his momentum was majestic.
"Yes!" the rest of the ancestors bowed slightly, and bowed their hands to obey the order.
Immediately, taking another look at the shattered soul monument, in the regretful gaze, everyone scattered in twos and threes. In the end, only the old man of the tomb standing in place was left in the main hall.
Doodle......
The old man knocked on the ground with his cane again. As soon as the voice fell, the shadows cast on the ground by the pillars of the main hall suddenly moved. The shadow swirled, then abruptly emerged from the ground, creating a vague humanoid silhouette with only a pair of bloody eyes.
"Shadow Shark See Tomb Elder!" the pitch-black figure knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and said in a low male voice.
"Mm-hmm, you saw what happened just now. This ancestor asks you to bring back the Black Demon Flame, if someone gets involved, you know what to do. The Heaven Swallowing Clan has been standing at the top of the Demon Clan for too long, and it is hard to guarantee that no one will be impatient....." The tomb elder turned to look at the shattered soul monument with a sigh in his eyes.
He has been in retreat all the year round and does not ask about the world, unless there is a major event in the clan, the patriarch cannot decide that he needs to tell the ancestors, and almost the ancestors are mysterious to the clansmen.
If it weren't for this time, the great protector of the clan would have died, I'm afraid the ancestor would not have personally asked.
The Great Protector is the spiritual symbol of the young descendants of the Swallowing Heaven Clan, representing the invincibility and the patron saint of the clan.
The Heaven Swallowing Clan needs the existence of a great protector, just like a beacon in the fog, leading the descendants of the clan to fight the battlefield and smash the Yellow Dragon. Therefore, the fall of the Great Protector will seriously affect the morale of the Heaven Swallowing Clan.
"Yes!" the Shadow Shark said respectfully, quickly melting into the ground. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a black shadow line and floated out along the crack in the door of the main hall......
