No hope for eternal life

Chapter 455 Year Countdown

This time, Mu Changsheng finally understood what happened. When he was casting spells, his soul was like a deflated balloon, "leaking air" everywhere. The divine power actually needed to cast the spell was still the same, but hundreds of times the divine power leaked out when casting the spell, which caused the divine power consumed by Mu Changsheng to increase sharply.

"What a cruel method." Mo Lianyue said gritting her teeth. When Mu Changsheng cast the spell for the first time, she and Xiao Niansheng discovered the problem. No wonder they couldn't find it out before, because it could only be detected when Mu Changsheng used his divine power.

Moreover, Mo Lianyue and Xiao Niansheng, as cultivators of the Ninth Realm, had broader knowledge. They also realized that this was not as simple as the increase in divine power consumed in casting spells. The impact was on many aspects. For example, Mu Changsheng was good at talismans and formations, but refining talismans and formations required a constant supply of divine power. Given Mu Changsheng's current situation, he might not be able to refine even sixth-grade talismans and sixth-grade formations. Moreover, when fighting with others, he would easily fall into the dilemma of running out of energy.

In addition, overcoming the Eight Realms Spiritual Tribulation requires the most divine power. With Mu Changsheng's current situation, it is impossible for him to survive the Eight Realms Spiritual Tribulation, not to mention the Nine Realms Wind and Thunder Tribulation above the Eight Realms. This will directly end Mu Changsheng's cultivation potential, and Mu Changsheng's cultivation will forever remain at the Divine Sea Realm!

And the most crucial thing is that even if Mu Changsheng himself does nothing from now on, his spiritual power will slowly dissipate, like a long journey. According to the estimation of Mo Lianyue and Xiao Niansheng, within a hundred years, Mu Changsheng's soul and cultivation will all dissipate, and then Mu Changsheng will naturally die.

In other words, from this moment on, Mu Changsheng's life has entered a hundred-year countdown!

That’s why the Black Demon mentioned a hundred years later before.

Gradually, Mu Changsheng himself realized the seriousness of the matter. He had imagined various possibilities, but the real reality was ten or a hundred times more terrifying than he had expected.

"I knew that doing business with someone like Black Demon would be like courting disaster. This deal was wrong from the beginning." Mo Lianyue cried out in anger, deeply regretting it.

Xiao Niansheng had been mentally prepared for this, unlike Mo Lianyue who found it hard to accept. He advised, "You can't say that. My cultivation path is amazing, and I have a clone. It's worth using nine million top-grade spirit stones to buy back Mu Changsheng's 100 years of life."

Mu Changsheng was a little disheartened at first, but after hearing what Xiao Niansheng said, his eyes suddenly lit up. Just as Xiao Niansheng said, his original body would not be able to do anything in the future, but he still had two clones who could practice and break through the realm. It would be the same if all resources were allocated to the two clones. The only difference was that no matter how high the realm of the clone was, it was limited by the original body and his life span would always be only a hundred years.

"The revival of spiritual energy will last for a hundred years at most. This hundred years of life is enough. Black Demon, even if I can't see the scene a hundred years later, you may not be able to see it either." Mu Changsheng clenched his fists.

Mu Changsheng was successfully comforted by Xiao Niansheng, but Mo Lianyue was still very angry. With new and old grudges added together, she could no longer bear it.

The next moment, Mo Lianyue's figure instantly turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the Sky Fire Realm. She wanted to settle the score with the Black Demon.

Seeing this, Xiao Niansheng was worried that Mo Lianyue would suffer alone, so he hurriedly took Mu Changsheng to follow.

In the Skyfire Realm, the Black Demon stood quietly in front of the Eternal Monument with his back to Mo Lianyue.

"You're here." The Black Demon said without turning his head, as if he had expected Mo Lianyue to come. He said lightly: "It has been ten thousand years, and you two have both reached the ninth realm, but you have never come to seek revenge on me. You are quite patient."

There was murderous intent in Mo Lianyue's beautiful eyes. She had been enduring all this time, thinking that one day she would be able to kill the Black Demon with one blow. However, a long time had passed, and revenge seemed nowhere in sight. She could no longer endure this, and she had to vent her anger today.

I saw a ball of black flame flying out from Mo Lianyue's white hand. The ball of black flame expanded extremely in the air and instantly turned into a black sea of ​​fire, drowning the Black Demon.

Golden flames ignited on the surface of the black demon's body, constantly resisting the black sea of ​​fire from Mo Lianyue, without any harm.

After Mo Lianyue made her move, Black Demon turned around and said indifferently: "I thought you would have made great progress since you reached the ninth realm with your supreme destiny, but it turns out you are just like this. You are still using your father Mo Xuansheng's Xuanhuo secret technique. I have seen your father use these methods in person. If your father can't do it, then you are even less capable."

"Even if you are just a clone, I will kill you!" Mo Lianyue said angrily. She could imagine the anger in her heart when she heard the murderer of her father commenting on her father in front of her.

On the other side, Xiao Niansheng and Mu Changsheng were watching the battle from a distance and had no intention of participating.

"Master, why don't you go to help?" Mu Changsheng asked in confusion.

Xiao Niansheng sighed softly: "Mo Lianyue needs to vent, just let her vent alone. Besides, even if she and I join forces, I'm afraid we can't kill the Black Demon's clone."

"Is it possible that the Black Demon is so powerful with only one clone?" Mu Changsheng asked in disbelief.

Xiao Niansheng explained slowly, "The Black Demon is cunning and has always used his clones. No one has ever seen his real body. This clone of his has been in charge of the Skyfire Realm for many years. We have actually dealt with this clone countless times. Just like most cultivators will cultivate a main battle clone, this clone of the Black Demon should be his main battle clone."

At this point, Xiao Niansheng let out a long sigh and said, "In terms of combat power, Black Demon may be slightly inferior to Changsheng Emperor and You Wushuang, but apart from Changsheng Emperor and You Wushuang, I'm afraid no one in the world can suppress him."

Mu Changsheng was silent, and he realized more deeply the current situation in the Nine Realms. You Wushuang and Emperor Changsheng were restraining each other, and dared not act rashly, which instead gave the Black Demon an advantage. When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king.

"You see, the Black Demon used the Skyfire Secret Art created by the Skyfire Emperor. This art gathers flames from all over the world and merges them with the cultivator's own body. Every move he makes is full of immense power. And the Mysterious Fire Secret Art used by Mo Lianyue is something she has been practicing since childhood. She cultivated a life-long fire in her heart, which is like a sword cultivator's life-long sword, and is connected to the cultivator's life. The secret arts they both used were created by others, more to hide their own unique methods. It also shows that they both exercised restraint and did not really fight each other." Xiao Niansheng explained to Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng nodded in understanding, and then asked: "Disciple has always been puzzled about one thing, how did the secret technique of Emperor Tianhuo fall into the hands of the black devil?"

Xiao Niansheng shook his head slightly and said: "It is unknown. We can only guess that the Heavenly Fire Emperor left a legacy in the Heavenly Fire Realm, which was accidentally deceived by the Black Demon. Otherwise, with the Heavenly Fire Emperor's temperament, he would never pass on his secret skills to the demon."

Mu Changsheng suddenly realized that this made sense: "The Black Demon is good at acting, he is really hateful."

Not to mention Ruan Xiong, it turned out that Xiao Jingshan was also the incarnation of the Black Demon. This was something Mu Changsheng never expected.

The battle between Mo Lianyue and the Black Demon was still going on, but it was far less intense than at the beginning. Mo Lianyue gradually calmed down. She knew that even if she could kill the Black Demon in front of her, she would only kill a clone, and would expose her own trump card in advance, which would not be worth the loss.

The Black Demon spoke again at this time: "Mo Lianyue, although I killed your parents and brother, and killed many people from your demon clan, I have not caused trouble for you demon clan since that attack ten thousand years ago. The reason is that I have always been a person who does not offend others unless they offend me. In the past ten thousand years, you demon clan has not caused trouble for me, so I am too lazy to cause trouble for you demon clan. If you continue to attack me, I promise that if I meet a demon cultivator in the future, I will kill him one by one."
