Chapter 1035: Chapter 653: Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable, Gray-Clad Venerable, Clash of Top Primordial Spirits

Even the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable was taken aback by Lu Qing’s words.

He hadn’t expected that even an ant would dare to be so arrogant in his presence.

However, after his initial surprise, the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable did not get angry.

He would not spawn unnecessary emotions for the arrogance of an ant.

Indifferently gazing at Lu Qing, who appeared as insignificant as a crawler in his eyes, the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable gently gestured with his hand, and the black Bone Claw at his feet suddenly transformed into a black light, falling into his hand and merging into his palm.

"Since you admit it, then prepare to die."

In the next moment, the hand of the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable suddenly expanded, becoming as vast as the sky, nearly covering the entire expanse, and delivered a palm strike.

With the release of this palm, heaven and earth underwent a massive change, as if doomsday had arrived, enveloping everything within a hundred-mile radius under the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable’s palm.

Even though he also used a high-grade Demon Artifact, the power Cang Jue exerted before was like the flicker of a firefly, utterly incomparable.

"It’s over!"

The trunk-nosed man and the Daoxu Temple Daoist, witnessing this scene, all showed faces of despair.

The hand of the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable covered them too.

With their limited abilities, there was absolutely no chance of survival under such a terrifying attack.

"Who would have thought they’d provoke such an ancient monster."

Lu Qing looked at the immeasurable giant hand descending like the sky collapse and sighed lightly in his heart.

The branch of a Seven Tribulations Primordial Spirit, combined with a high-grade Demon Artifact, such power cannot be withstood even by him.

It seems this time, a trump card must be used.

"Who would have thought to have come this far, only to fail at the last step."

Just as Lu Qing moved his Heart and Spirit, intending to activate the Secret Realm Stone Plate in the Qiankun Qi Bag to leave this space,

suddenly, he sensed something amiss and lifted his head abruptly.

Then he saw, in the sky above, the immeasurable giant hand of the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable, which was crushing down, had somehow come to a standstill.

Not only that, but within a several hundred miles radius, all activity even the flow of air became entirely still.

Yet what shocked Lu Qing the most was not this.

It was a figure that appeared at some point between him and the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable.

It was an old man wearing gray clothing, with sparse hair and a slightly hunched physique.

He looked ordinary, indistinguishable from an old man who had outlived his years in the mortal world.

But Lu Qing could see that all the changes here were due to the appearance of this elder.

"Gray-clad Venerable, are you here to stop me?"

This time, the voice of the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable boomed.

"Annihilation, your hand has reached too far. This is our Netherworld Palace’s Trial Space. Transmitting a branch here, you have crossed the boundary."

The gray-clad elder said blandly.

"I have crossed the boundary? You tricked my son into this Trial Space, and now he’s dead. Should I not settle this score?"

The Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable’s voice rang out again, his tone no longer indifferent, but laced with anger.

"Your son came voluntarily for the trial; no one forced him. Speaking of it, being at the Golden Core Realm and holding a high-grade Demon Artifact, yet still slain by a cultivator of the same realm, should the shame not lie on your Demon Clan?"

Facing the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable’s question, the gray-clad elder didn’t show a hint of anger and replied calmly.

His words made the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable pause.

But soon, his grand voice rang once more: "Everyone knows how my son was tricked here, there’s no need to waste words. In short, I want to take this ant away. Will you make way?

If not, don’t blame me for being impolite to you!"

"Impolite to me?"

The gray-clad elder chewed on these words first, then slowly looked up, a mocking expression on his face.

"Annihilation, have you cultivated your Silent Extinction Devil Technique to the point of ruining your brain? With just you, how dare you utter such words in front of me?"

This statement left not just the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable stunned, but everyone witnessing the scene was also taken aback.

But the gray-clad elder’s taunt didn’t end there.

"It seems, after passing the seventh tribulation, your confidence swelled considerably, daring to provoke even our Netherworld Palace.

Do you believe I won’t destroy your Avatar right now, then bring people to your Silent Extinction Demon Palace to capture your true body and refine it into a puppet?"

"Haha, destroy my Avatar, refine my true body into a puppet, old man, you really boast without bounds, do you think, in your declining years, you’re capable of such a feat?"

The Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable laughed loudly, also responding with a taunt.

"By myself, of course, I can’t, but what if I call upon all the elders of our Netherworld Palace? Do you think you can withstand it?"

Upon hearing this, the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable’s Avatar trembled, revealing his inner unease.

But he quickly responded: "Does your Netherworld Palace dare to break the agreement and launch a massive attack on our Demon Domain? Do you wish to start a full-scale war, and can you bear that responsibility?"

"You can try!"

The Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable fell silent.

Though he didn’t believe the gray-clad elder truly dared to do such a thing, the other’s confident words gave him pause.

The Netherworld Palace’s foundation was too profound. If they indeed launched a large-scale attack on his domain, even with support from other Demon Venerables, he couldn’t guarantee enduring until support arrived.

The most crucial point was, if the Netherworld Palace truly began a war with the Demon Domain, the Human Race would certainly not sit idly by and would seize the opportunity.

At that time, with two major forces attacking, even their Demon Domain would be hard-pressed to resist.

Thinking of this, the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable began to waver.

However, retreating now would entirely ruin his dignified image as a Demon Venerable.

If the Human Race and the Demon Clan found out, he might become a laughingstock.

Even those Demon Venerables in the Demon Domain who didn’t get along with him would probably mock him openly.

With all these considerations, the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable hesitated.

But the gray-clad elder had already ignited his fury and had no patience to wait for him to deliberate.

Seeing the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable unwilling to retreat, he was immediately annoyed.

When he set out, he had boasted to the other elders that he could certainly resolve this matter.

He didn’t expect that the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable would be so arrogant, not only calling him an old man but also daring to mock his impending demise.

With that, the gray-clad elder’s face turned cold, and he decided to act.

"Silent Annihilation, since you refuse to appreciate my kindness, then leave your Avatar and Demon Artifact here!"

With that said, the gray-clad elder lightly clenched his hand.

In the next moment, a world-shaking change instantly occurred.

The previously stagnant space suddenly shifted, becoming like a giant vortex, starting to twist and collapse.

The center of the collapse was exactly where the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable’s Primordial Spirit Avatar was located.

"Old man, you really dare to act!"

The Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable was startled, and the black Bone Claw suddenly enlarged, forming a fist to firmly protect his Avatar within, resisting the vast spatial distortion force around him.

"I already gave you a chance. Since you don’t cherish it, then go to your death!"

Seeing this, the gray-clad elder made a hand gesture to cast a spell.

Immediately, the spatial vortex rotated even more fiercely, its power surging over tenfold.

Under such a terrifying attack, the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable finally could not hold it any longer.

Though a Seven Tribulations Primordial Spirit Great Power, the manifestation now was merely a branch.

Even as the gray-clad elder’s lifespan neared its end, with depleted Qi-Blood, he remained a powerhouse of the same caliber.

In such circumstances, even with mastery over a high-grade Demon Artifact, he was ultimately no match for the elder’s true body.
