Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

"You said you are the reincarnation of the Holy King, do you have proof?"

The expression of the woman suspended in mid-air changed slightly, and her face gradually changed from expressionless and indifferent to the joy and sorrow of human beings.

She stared at Lin Bai with a pair of blank eyes, as if waiting expectantly for Lin Bai's answer.

"No."

Lin Bai smiled bitterly and shrugged, looking a little helpless: "I don't even know why the warriors of the Nine Nether Demon Palace think so. I'm also very surprised. Is it just because I have the same ability as the Holy Lord? "

"The same ability as the Holy Lord?" The woman was stunned for a moment, whispered this sentence, and asked: "Are you a member of the Tiantian Clan?"

"That's right." Lin Bai replied frankly.

Although Lin Bai still believed that his identity as a Tiantian Clan was still a big secret, Lin Bai still couldn't hide it when facing Gu Jing.

And Lin Bai also thought it would be okay to tell her, after all, she had been dead for almost 100,000 years.

Although Lin Bai didn't know what secret method she had to retain her remnant soul to this day, it was obvious that she had stopped interfering with the outside world for a long time.

And it seems that the Jiuyou Demon Palace does not have any deep ill will towards the Tiantian Clan, perhaps because the Holy Lord a hundred thousand years ago was originally from the Tiantian Clan.

"Let me see your devouring power!"

The woman didn't hesitate at all. After hearing Lin Bai's generous admission, she didn't embarrass Lin Bai. She just asked Lin Bai to use his devouring power to let her distinguish the authenticity.

"Here?" Lin Bai glanced around in confusion. He was really afraid that if he used the power of devouring, the place would be razed to the ground.

"Don't worry, you will never hurt this place." The woman said calmly.

Lin Bai frowned, not understanding the meaning of the woman's words. What does "you can never hurt this place" mean?

But seeing the woman say so confidently, Lin Bai no longer hesitated, carefully controlled the devouring power and slowly released it.

A burst of black ripples lingered on Lin Bai's body, and sharp black smoke rose into the sky, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a black hole that could swallow everything, exuding terrifying suction and pulling power, trying to destroy the world between heaven and earth. Everything in the world is crushed and refined.

But what made Lin Bai feel extremely strange was that... after he released the devouring power, the devouring power spread towards the temple without Lin Bai's control.

"How is this going?"

Lin Bai was shocked.

The four walls of the temple seemed to have some kind of special ability. They were able to incorporate the devouring power emitted by Lin Bai into them and disappear without a trace.

"This..." Lin Bai was extremely surprised.

He originally intended to cut off the devouring power, but was still unable to do so. He did not give up until the four walls sucked all the devouring power from Lin Bai's body.

The devouring power was exhausted, causing Lin Bai's face to turn pale rapidly, and he fell weakly to the ground, breathing heavily.

There was still incredible horror in his eyes.

"hehe."

The woman didn't show any surprise when she saw this, but instead sneered twice: "Swallowing stone is an extremely strange ore in the world."

"For other warriors, this kind of ore does not have much power, but he can restrain the swallowing power of the Sky Swallowing Clan!"

"This can be regarded as a lesson to you, let you know... the power of devouring is not omnipotent, nor is it invincible. You still need to be more careful in future actions!"

Lin Bai half-knelt on the ground and weakly wiped the cold sweat from his face: "Thank you, senior, for reminding me. I will keep it in mind, junior."

Swallow the stone!

Lin Bai looked at the entire temple, which was completely made of some kind of ice-white stone.

At first, after Lin Bai entered the temple, he carefully inspected the place, but did not find anything strange.

As for the stone for refining the temple, Lin Bai also thought that it was just some kind of special stone in the world, and there was nothing strange about it.

But I didn't expect...this weird stone could actually restrain the devouring power?

"Don't be careless." The woman said softly: "According to me... there are many treasures in the world that can restrain the power of devouring. There are ten kinds if not a hundred."

"Is that much?" Lin Bai smiled bitterly, feeling that there were too many things to restrain the power of devouring.

"This is normal." The woman said calmly: "When a certain power reaches a peak and scares everyone in the world, they will naturally try their best to deal with this power."

"Even those who possess this kind of power can categorically promise the world that they will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone conquer indiscriminately."

"But a few dispensable guarantees cannot dispel everyone's fears."

"Only if they have a way to fight this force will they feel at ease."

"So since ancient times, countless warriors have been looking for ways to restrain the power of devouring. After countless years, they have only found hundreds of ways, which is already very few."

Lin Bai nodded silently.

It took countless years of searching and countless generations of warriors to find hundreds of ways, which were indeed very few.

"To teach you this lesson today can be regarded as doing something for the Holy Lord." The woman suddenly sighed and said: "If we had known these things back then, maybe the Holy Lord would not have fallen."

Lin Bai asked curiously: "Senior Gu Jing, there are very few mentions about how the Saint King fell in the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"It is only said that... the Saint King had already fallen when he returned to the Nine Nether Demon Palace, and his body was brought back by you and several other sons of God."

"What happened back then?"

"How did the Saint King fall?"

As the peerless genius of the Demon Realm 100,000 years ago, and a super strong man who almost swept the entire Demon Realm with his own strength, the sudden death of the Saint King was the fuse that led to the destruction of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

"The fall of the Saint King... hum..." The woman couldn't help but snorted heavily when she heard this, revealing a strong unwillingness and dissatisfaction.

"If it weren't for the Spirit Realm's action, how could anyone in the Demon Realm be a match for the Saint King!"

Lin Bai's eyes widened when he heard this.

The battle 100,000 years ago was actually behind the Spirit Realm?

"Alas, there is no point in talking more. The matter is done." The woman sighed and said, "Today I will teach you a lesson and let you know the existence of the Devouring Stone. I hope you can remember this stone. If you have a quarrel with others in the future, remember not to fall into their trap."

Could it be that the Saint King was restrained by the Devouring Stone and died?

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Bai felt that this was possible. If there was no Devouring Stone to restrain the Devouring Power, the Saint King would not have died on the spot if he had escaped with his seriously injured body.

Lin Bai knew too well the terrifying power of Devouring. (End of this chapter)
