Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 355: Chapter 166: Group of Stars_1

Atop the desolate mountain of the broken secret realm, all the great Spirit Transmutation demons watching the stone box were suddenly stunned.

The scene before them was entirely beyond their expectations.

The treasures they had taken down at great pains and even at the cost of their own essence were now, under the watchful eyes of all, dissipating into starlight and disappearing.

Powerful Divine Senses swept over the stone box, but they could not find any mechanisms on it. It was as if the starlight bodhi leaf, bearing the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist, was merely an illusion.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

“How could the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist disappear?”

“It must be the work of your Ancient Demon Hall, done in secret!”

“Hand over the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist right now!”

…

The enraged great Spirit Transmutation demons no longer concealed their aura. Formidable Yin Gods manifested under the night sky, their energy clashing and spreading over several miles of the desolate mountain.

The manifestation of the Yin Gods even triggered a response from the Primal Chaos Realm, with clusters of dark clouds swiftly gathering in the night sky, and lightning bolts zigzagging through the dense clouds like dragons and snakes.

If this had happened three months earlier, the heavenly tribulation would have fallen directly upon these great Spirit Transmutation demons manifesting their true forms.

However, at this moment, the rules of heaven and earth were becoming more perfect, and they were nearing the critical point of the presence of Spirit Transmutation powerful experts. The converging lightning had still not fallen. Only the clouds bearing a heart-palpitating pressure enveloped the entire desolate mountain.

The two great Spirit Transmutation demons from the Ancient Demon Hall finally recovered from their previous shock and replied hastily but with very ugly expressions to the other great Spirit Transmutation demons:

“This stone box has been brought out from the secret realm and has been under the watch of everyone the entire time. We absolutely had no opportunity to tamper with it.”

“Why the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist has dispersed, we also do not know!”

The two great Spirit Transmutation demons from the Ancient Demon Hall were already sweating profusely at this point.

If the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist had not been found, it would have been bearable. Although the Ancient Demon Hall had expended a lot of effort in planning for the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist, they could afford a single failure.

What the Ancient Demon Hall truly needed was to use the name of the Supreme Taoist’s inheritance to unite the various Demons’ Realms, creating opportunities for subsequent arrangements.

Even if the plan failed, the Ancient Demon Hall had the confidence to appease the great Spirit Transmutation demons from the various Demons’ Realms.

But now that the plan had succeeded and the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist had disappeared under everyone’s watch, the Ancient Demon Hall, as the leader, would inevitably face enormous pressure.

Even considering the violent temperament of the group of great Spirit Transmutation demons, it would not have been surprising if they were torn to shreds.

As for compensating the various Demons’ Realms?

If nobody had received the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist, the Ancient Demon Hall could compensate without paying too much, after all, everyone had lost, and the other realms could not easily find fault.

But the current problem was that the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist had been taken out, yet it was lost by the Ancient Demon Hall, so the great Spirit Transmutation demons, unless they were fools, would surely take this opportunity to demand an exorbitant price.

Keep in mind that this involved the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist, and because of this inheritance, a Taoist Doyen Stage expert had once emerged. In real terms, its value could even surpass that of a Taoist artifact.

Even if the various Demons’ Realms demanded compensation in the form of several supreme grade spirit treasures, it would be within a reasonable range.

However, in this era of a ten-thousand-year period of Spirit Energy depletion, the preciousness of ordinary spirit treasures was far beyond imagination, let alone supreme grade spirit treasures.

Nowadays, many of the existing supreme grade spirit treasures are Taoist artifacts that have fallen in grade during the long Spirit Energy Exhaustion era.

With such valuable items, how could the Ancient Demon Hall be willing to use them for compensation?

Of course, if they were to say this openly, the various great Spirit Transmutation demons present would certainly not spare them.

The eyes of the two great Spirit Transmutation demons from the Ancient Demon Hall whirled rapidly as they thought of a countermeasure, while on the surface, they could only do their best to appease these enraged demons.

“The disappearance of the Supreme Taoist’s inheritance must be someone’s sabotage.

Everyone rest assured, our Ancient Demon Hall will definitely trace the culprit and also give everyone a satisfactory explanation!”

However, such words couldn’t convince the great Spirit Transmutation demons from the various Demons’ Realms at all. The tiger demon, missing one eye, arose with towering demonic energy, looking fierce as if ready to devour someone at any moment.

“If you don’t hand over the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist, you can stay here with this broken secret realm!”

As it spoke, energy surged around the tiger demon’s body, ready to unleash its Divine Skills.

But just at that moment, the Withered Wood Demon, resembling dry timber, seemed to recall something and hastily shouted:

“I know it!”

“I know who secretly took the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist!”

The tiger demon’s fierce eyes flashed menacingly as it barked, “Speak!”

The Withered Wood Demon held the stone box and pointed directly at Bai Zhao next to him, saying with certainty:

“It must be Bai Zhao! Bai Zhao took the Supreme Taoist’s inheritance!”

“Initially, our Ancient Demon Hall obtained only a treasure concerning the secret realm, and unable to decipher it, we had to seek Bai Zhao’s help to replicate the information of the secret realm using the propelling forces from cause and effect.

At that time, Bai Zhao, having failed to manipulate the conflict between the River Ji Dragon Palace and Great Xia’s Imperial Court and suffering damage to his foundation, used this as a pretext to have our Ancient Demon Hall help him draw upon a calamity to ascend to the Spirit Transmutation Stage.”

“After entering the secret realm, it was Bai Zhao who first found the altar. Apart from us two demons, only Bai Zhao had the chance to come into contact with the Supreme Taoist’s inheritance.

Being the reincarnation of the Demon Saint Bai Ze, he must possess methods we are unaware of. Replacing the Supreme Taoist’s inheritance in secret would have been effortless for him.”

Enraged, Bai Zhao crushed the folding fan in his hand without even realizing it.
