Chapter 269: A Shocking Gamble
The Benedictine Pope watched Neo's changes and frowned slightly.
The Star Sea Soul Song suddenly ran violently.
Neo was shocked, and listened to Pope Benedict say: "Don't panic, my lord, I will expel the demon shadow for your lordship." ”,
Before Neo could react, his martial arts instinct was stimulated first, and the spiritual power shield came out of his body.
Before Neo could make any other moves, a pillar of light descended from the sky, shrouding his entire body in the pillar of light.
The pillar of light passed through his body, and his body suddenly became transparent,
In the pillar of light, the shadow of a nightmare beast was jumping and neighing, its mouth and nose spewing billowing smoke, its hooves constantly stepping on the blazing flames, it struggled violently to escape the pillar of light, but the soft light held it firmly like a viscous liquid,
Pope Benedict's lips twitched, and the silent spell was released,
Neo suddenly felt a sharp pain, this sharp pain did not come from the body, but like when the master and brother both left, and he was abandoned by his beloved lover, extreme sadness filled his chest,
The pillar of light threw himself into his body, and his sadness turned into the smiling faces of the master and senior brother, and their eyes were full of encouragement, Long Ge'er, well done, the Star Soul Sect finally has a successor.
The Nightmaremon's shadow faded as Neo's mood improved, and finally turned into smoke and escaped, and as soon as he left Neo's body, he was burned into nothingness by the pillar of light.
Neo woke up suddenly, only to find that his eyes were full of tears.
Pope Benedict said: "The cunning demon, I didn't find out until just now, that the scythe planted the demon in the adult's heart, and once the adult's state of mind is shaken, it will take advantage of the gap to enter, and the demon grows unconsciously, and eventually controls the adult." ”,
Neo broke out in a cold sweat, and then remembered that it was no wonder that since he had passed the first battle of Time Residency, his mentality had often been frustrated and cowering, and it turned out that this nightmare shadow was at work.
"Okay, my lord, it's okay now, in fact, this nightmare demon shadow was originally a casual move of the scythe, if the heart demon can succeed, it is its unexpected gain, and the heart demon is removed, it will not lose anything."
Neo hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your help!" ”,
Pope Benedict waved his hand and said, "No, even if you don't come here today, you will still see my lord and Her Highness the goddess of ice and snow, and at that time, my lord and her highness will clear this fang for your lord." ”
Neo shook his head and said, "It's really hard to prevent, I thought it was a beautiful victory, but I didn't know that I still fell into the calculation of the Shadow." Your Majesty, I have heard that Her Highness the Goddess and you have called this shadow a scythe, but I don't know where it came from? ”,
Didn't I just say that there are very few parts of the Abyssal Plane that are connected to us?
This area is known to the gods as the Land of Madness, and the Abyss Demons have used the power of the stars outside the sky to pull a building of the Abyss to stand here, which they call the Tower of Arrogance!
Tower of Arrogance! Neo shouted, and Pope Benedict nodded,
Yes, the Tower of Arrogance, this tower is related to the fate of all races on my continent, and I will tell you the reason later.
This tower is different from the abyssal layer by layer, this tower stands between heaven and earth, up to a hundred floors, the tower is full of monsters,
These monsters have never appeared in our war with the demons, and they are so powerful that even the weakest monsters have the strength of our human high-level transcendent realms.
"What?" Neo gasped.
Yes, it's that strong, it's just an ordinary monster.
There is a demon boss stationed on every ten floors of the Tower of Arrogance, and the higher you go, the stronger you become.
The strength of ordinary monsters at the top level is also higher than that of the low-level bosses.
Their strongest resides at the very top of the Tower of Pride, and it is the ruler of the dead world, the reaper of life, the collector of souls, and the god of soul snatchers! It's the scythe shadow you saw!
"Soul Snatcher!" Neo repeated the name.
The strength of the Soul Snatching Demon God is very strong, don't look at it after being reprimanded by Her Highness the Goddess, it doesn't react much, in fact, it is the strongest among the demons below the god level, and the strength of many low-level gods is not comparable to it.
If the goddess really kills the Tower of Arrogance, the god-level demons in the demon race will not sit idly by, and the gods of the heavenly realm and the high-level of the demon race will not allow this to happen.
Neo said in horror, "Doesn't that mean that the strength of the scythe can compete with the gods of the heavenly realm? With such a strong strength, how did it pass through the plane passage? ”,
Pope Benedict pondered for a moment and said, "This is the time to talk about the Book of Gods and Demons." ”,
Neo suppressed the doubt in his mind and listened quietly.
It is difficult for the Heavenly Realm gods and some powerful cultivators in the world to pass through the barrier between the planes, but the Abyss Demon Clan has a spell that can use the traction of the stars to temporarily stabilize the dimensional space, and some of the powerful beings among them can take advantage of this time to break through the space.
But fortunately, this spell requires a huge amount of energy on their part, so they are used with extreme caution.
This situation worries the gods, because they can come, but we can't get over, what should we do?
As a result, the gods of the heavenly realm threatened the demons, and if the abyssal demons insisted on attacking regardless of everything, the gods would also use their own means to cause the plane to explode, and everyone would die together.
The situation was at a stalemate. After a long time, the demons came up with ideas again, they tempted the gods, and they proposed to the gods that they only need the mortal realm, as long as the gods of the heavenly realm give up mortals, then the abyss demons can contribute three laws to the gods, but the gods must leave this cosmic plane and never return.
Of course, the gods did not agree, but immediately detonated several stars to show their determination not to give up.
Neo also had a respect for the gods of the heavenly realm when he heard this, originally in his opinion, the gods of the heavenly realm were high up and enjoyed the worship of mortals, and they would not be moved by the chaos of life and death in the mortal world at all. But he didn't expect that at the critical moment, the gods would advance and retreat with the mortal world.
The two sides were at a stalemate, and at this time, the Abyss Demon Clan proposed another gamble, a shocking gamble that would determine the fate of all races in the continent!
"Hmph~~!" The Benedictine Pope snorted coldly, "I told you just now, don't think that the Abyss Demons are all berserkers who are not afraid of death, in fact, they are more cunning than the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, otherwise, the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons would not fall into their calculations." ”
Pope Benedict waved his hand, like a fly away, and turned the topic back on track,
At the beginning of the war, the Abyss Demon Clan took a fancy to the divine power of the gods of the heavenly realm and the laws of heaven and earth mastered by the gods, and later, the Abyss Demon discovered that we mortals also had what they wanted.
In their opinion, although the cultivators in the mortal world were also very powerful, the combat power of the mortal world was uneven, and the difference in combat power between low-level cultivators and high-level cultivators was huge.
And the confusion of mortals' minds is far easier to deal with than the gods.
So they preferred to let the gods go, only to deal with the relatively weak mortal world.
However, what they did not expect was that the gods did not agree to their request, but instead joined forces with the mortal world more closely.
So, the demons came up with another solution, which was the shocking gamble I just mentioned.
