Upper Pure Sect’s former site.
At the foot of the mountain, the battlefield of the beast tide.
Now Liang Sheng hesitates at this moment, should he use his lifespan to perform the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique and curse the Demon Saint to death?
But doing so might consume a significant portion of his lifespan, which is the drawback of the curse killing technique, as the difference in realms between the two is too vast.
For instance, is the Blood Glyph Cursed Sky Array set up by the Demon Saint in front of him powerful?
Of course, it’s incredibly powerful!
However, this curse of lifespan technique itself has its shortcomings. The main requirement of the array is for the person leading the curse to consume their own lifespan.
Otherwise, the remaining lifespan of the seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs who were cursed would merely add up to a few thousand years. Why would the Demon Saint need to plot the fate of nearly a million cultivators and demonic beasts as offerings for the heavens and launch the Curse Array?
It’s because this Curse Array, if merely using the flesh and blood of others as the offering, has a pitifully low proportion of cursing their lifespan.
Didn’t you see that even with so many cultivators and demonic beasts as sacrifices, the Demon Saint still lost six thousand years of life, and now only has ten years of life left?
The situation can also be said that if the person presiding over the array has insufficient lifespan or the difference in cultivation level between the presiding person and the one cursed is too great, the curse would likely have no effect regardless of how many cultivators and demonic beasts are used as sacrifices.
It’s precisely because of this that the Demon Saint previously tried to delay time, secretly collecting cultivators’ flesh and blood as sacrifices, only beginning the curse assassination when Chenyangzi and others had less than eight hundred years of life left.
That’s because the cost is the least this way. If everything went according to his plan, he could slowly orchestrate the events within a hundred years, curse and kill one by one, and ultimately have around a thousand years of life left.
Unfortunately, the Demon Saint’s plan initially went smoothly, and the first beast tide completely deceived the Sect Alliance.
Regrettably, the Dan Ding Sect later accidentally discovered the secret of the Back Mountain Hunting Ground, and then Yu Zhenzi launched the final battle ahead of schedule, forcing the Demon Saint to go all out.
Now, even though he has successfully cursed all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Sect Alliance, he only has ten years of life left.
Fortunately, he still has ten years, time enough for him to level this desolate area and establish a Demon Beast Kingdom.
At this moment on the battlefield, all the still-living cultivators and demonic beasts are unconscious, but the gaze of the Demon Saint is looking twenty miles away.
Xiang Chen, who had previously escaped, couldn’t escape his perception.
Upon a thought, the Demon Saint instantly disappeared from his original position, and then reappeared with the incapacitated Xiang Chen beneath his feet.
“A Golden Core Daoist of the Dan Ding Sect?”
Seeing Xiang Chen’s disciple attire, the Demon Saint didn’t waste any time, “Tell me where the eye of your sect’s Mountain-protecting Array is, and I will let you live; otherwise…”
At this moment, Xiang Chen’s heart is filled with despair. Will the desolate region become a place completely controlled by the demonic beasts, with no more Sect Alliance?
On the other hand, the still-struggling Liang Sheng no longer needs to struggle, as he has no other choice now.
If the desolate territory becomes the domain of demonic beasts, it would be difficult for him to live peacefully in the future. After all, humans and demons can’t coexist; it can be seen from the sect’s attitude toward demonic beasts when establishing the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds.
Under the rule of the Demon Clan, the Human Clan could only become butchered cattle and sheep. Besides, now that Xiang Chen has been captured, does he have any other choice?
However, he is currently only in the False Golden Core Realm, and the gap between his and the Demon Saint’s realm is too large, making it uncertain how much lifespan he needs to curse the other party to death.
Under the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique, the highest ratio of cursing lifespan is one to one. It’s unknown how the ratio is now between his False Golden Core and the Demon Saint.
Perhaps because he is cultivating ancient techniques and his true cultivation level is still Refining Qi, there might be some different effects.
Forget it, let’s try with a thousand years of life!
Seeing that Xiang Chen is uncooperative and the Demon Saint is about to take action, Liang Sheng doesn’t dare to waste any more time. At this moment, he has completely concealed himself under his Attribute Panel’s Concealing Property, almost merging with Heaven and Earth, and carefully uses the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique!
A hundred years of life, as a test!
Just when the Demon Saint sees Xiang Chen’s refusal to cooperate and prepares to use torture, his face suddenly changes, the wrinkles on his face instantly become denser, and his hair turns even more white.
Is the backlash from the Curse Blood Vein Array still ongoing?
At the moment when fear strikes his heart, Liang Sheng sees the Demon Saint’s face age again, but he still appears lively and energetic, so he hardened his heart.
Let’s try another hundred years!
Hmm?
The opponent is still alive?
Then let’s go all in and gamble with five hundred years!
Amidst the madness, Liang Sheng unconsciously invested four thousand five hundred years of life, his face looking pale as it’s not the heavy consumption of his lifespan, but somewhat fearful.
Only ten years of life left for the opponent, but now he has consumed four thousand five hundred years of lifespan and still appears lively and energetic. Does it mean that the ratio of cursing the lifespan has been increased to an unimaginable extent?
Damn, I’m at a loss!
Should he stop being the savior of the wilderness?
After all, who knows how much lifespan he needs to consume? If the Demon Saint still doesn’t die in the end, his pants will be at a total loss.
Moreover, he still has the Attribute Panel, so even if the Demon Saint rules the wilderness, he can always hide in the deep mountain old forest, and as long as he can hold on for ten years, he will be safe.
However, at this moment, the Demon Saint’s face is filled with sorrow, and his terrifying aura is released, overwhelming Xiang Chen. Even as a Golden Core Realm cultivator, he can’t withstand the pressure and spits out a mouthful of essence blood, falling unconscious..
