Chapter 1358
Chapter 1358
As the dust and smoke from the shattered Soul Carving dissipated, the vast Styx Palace plaza fell silent!
In front of the main hall, separated from the main hall by a river, only Xu Shan's figure still stood there.
In that instant, all the eyes of the demons were fixed on him.
Having witnessed his strength, and feeling the oppressive aura of the lingering thunderclouds overhead...
None of the demons dared to bare their teeth at him again.
She stood there, not daring to even breathe too loudly, for fear of incurring his displeasure.
'Snap, snap.'
Just then, Xu Da Guanren turned around and walked step by step toward the gate of the Styx Palace, which symbolized the power center of the underground cave.
His powerful footsteps drowned out the rushing waters of the River Styx, striking the hearts of the demons across the river.
Furthermore, it attracted the demons, who stared intently at the tall, scarlet figure.
'Snapped. '
When Xu Shan reached the main gate of the Styx Palace, he slowly turned around and glanced at the Earth Demon on the other side of the river.
With a smile, he asked, "I've heard that all the rare treasures and elixirs that the Styx Ancestor ordered his men to plunder in the underground caves over the years are hidden here?"
'boom. ’
'Boom.'
As soon as Xu Shan finished speaking, he raised his right arm and shook open the heavy and solemn blood-red gate from a distance.
"what!"
Immediately afterwards, a series of chaotic footsteps sounded from inside, followed by the residual force of the energy, which sent many of the elders and guards who were guarding the main hall flying.
This elicited screams of agony.
Without the protection of the Blood River Formation, the Styx Palace is now like a lamb to the slaughter.
There are still some guards inside.
Even with the combined efforts of the Demon King and the elders, along with the Blood River Formation, they couldn't withstand Xu Shan's repeated attacks...
Then it would be difficult for them to stop this guy's advance.
However, what none of the demons expected was...
After shaking open the door, Xu Shan didn't go in to loot the rare treasures and elixirs. Instead, he sneered at the demon followers on the opposite bank and said, "I promised before..."
"As long as you choose not to intervene when our Lord is fighting against King Moro."
"You may take whatever you wish from the Styx Palace."
"Now……"
"My lord, keep your promise."
"let's start."
After saying that, Xu Shan made a 'please' gesture.
‘Gulu. ’
Upon witnessing this scene, the demons couldn't help but swallow hard.
Then, they stood there, staring at each other, too stunned to move.
As members of the lower classes, they naturally yearned to obtain the magical artifacts, elixirs, and treasures within the main hall.
However, they also feared Xu Shan's 'going back on his word' and the Styx Palace's eventual retribution.
That's why they haven't taken action yet.
After the demons remained locked in a stalemate for several breaths, Xu Da Guanren, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, sneered, "What?"
"We gave you a chance, and you still couldn't do it?"
"Remember, you only get one chance."
"As long as you unite and charge in together."
"Even if Ancestor Styx settles scores later, can he really kill all the Earth Demons?"
"But for you, all you need is a magical artifact, a elixir, and a precious treasure..."
"It is possible to surpass him, the demon."
There's an old saying in the Ming Dynasty: "How can a great man remain subservient to others for long?"
"If you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step!"
'Swish, swish!'
No sooner had Xu Shan finished speaking these highly seductive words than some audacious demons leaped across the River Styx, a river they had never dared to 'transgress'.
"Damn it, he's hanging upside down."
"I'm terrified of being poor and bullied."
"Now we have a chance to turn things around."
"I'm willing to take this gamble."
"At worst, I'll just kick the bucket early."
"It's better than just surviving."
"right……"
"Wealth is found in danger."
"Rush."
Along with the first group of demons who came ashore, they encountered no difficulties or obstacles from Xu Shan. Xu Shan even helped them deal with the elders and protectors who were stubbornly resisting in the main hall...
The demons, already driven mad, leaped across the River Styx and swarmed into the Styx Palace.
They all rushed to be first.
They were afraid that if they were a little slow, they would miss out on the treasures and dantian they desired.
The situation has evolved to this point, and Xu Shan no longer needs to lend a hand.
Especially when these former followers of the Earth Demon collectively attacked the elders, protectors, and guards in the hall, a sinister sneer appeared on his face.
"If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
"The value of this statement continues to rise."
As Xu Shan muttered these words, a fierce battle had already broken out inside the main hall.
You should think this through!
"Ancestor Styx and the other Demon Lords have already received the news."
"They are riding their horses this way."
"If you continue like this, you will die without a burial place."
"die?"
"We are more afraid of living a life worse than death."
"Kill him."
'boom. ’
'boom……'
Sensing the commotion inside, Xu Shan smiled faintly and turned away.
"Let the dogs fight."
"My lord, I will lend you another helping hand."
Xu Da Guanren, who hadn't gone far, kept muttering these words while forming Dao seals.
The next second, the remaining Blood River Formation was restarted once again.
This incomplete formation may not be able to trap a high-level demon lord, but it is enough to completely bind these earth demons within.
Whoever it was, got something good.
Even within a fixed space, one will be coveted by others.
Then, this kind of fighting will continue.
Until the Demon Lord arrived to provide assistance. Or perhaps, they were all nearly all dead.
Xu Shan's reason for this scheme was twofold: firstly, to completely destroy the source of the Styx Palace's 'power of faith'.
If this matter escalates, the authority of the Styx Palace will be greatly diminished.
In order to suppress the eighteen levels of hell, the Styx Ancestor will be forced to emerge from seclusion and break the deadlock.
Secondly...
Take this opportunity to weaken the core strength of the Earth Demon.
In the future, whether the Asura King takes power or the Styx Ancestor continues to rule, without these pillars of strength, it will likely be difficult for them to have any improper ambitions towards the mortal realm in the short term.
"The news has already spread."
"Even if the Styx Ancestor doesn't come in person, shouldn't he at least send the Demon Lord here to stabilize the situation?"
Muttering these words, Xu Shan, while sensing the blood energy and baleful aura constantly accumulating within the [Blood River Formation], added with a cold laugh, "It is impolite not to reciprocate."
"You used the Seven Fiends Soul-Locking Array in the Yinshan Secret Realm to try and trap my lord?"
"Then I'll show you a trick of 'encircling the point and attacking the reinforcements'."
"Let's see if I can use the Seven Fiends Soul-Locking Array to trap you all this time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shan's figure appeared eerily in multiple locations outside the Styx Palace.
The blood energy and baleful energy within the Blood River Formation are constantly being drawn out by it.
Using the waters of the Styx River, a powerful and malevolent "Seven Fiends Soul-Locking Array" was erected at the entrance of the Styx Ancestor's home, filled with countless vengeful spirits and evil ghosts!
