Chapter 1445 What are you waiting for?
But this change was fleeting and difficult for ordinary people to notice; only he himself knew about it.
Hearing the people around him still talking about trivial matters, he couldn't help but let out a barely audible sneer.
The reason he waited here and wasted time with them was simply to use his inherited array techniques to secretly explore the loopholes in the rules of the Immortal Palace within the core of the Immortal Palace, where the rules were most concentrated.
After several days of effort, he finally captured a trace of the extremely precious power of the Immortal Palace by using his own inherited treasure as a guide.
Once he has completely refined the golden thread, he can use the power of authority to weaken the Celestial Palace's suppression of him and unleash strength surpassing everyone else.
At that time, even without any celestial treasures, he would still be able to rely on his own cultivation to have the strength to directly confront the city lord or even the demon king.
If he could gain even more power, he could even recover to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm and become the strongest in the Immortal Palace!
And this period of time will not be long.
He was killing time refining the golden threads, waiting for the moment to break through the limitations, briefly unleash his true power, crush everyone here, and become the true master of the Immortal Palace.
What are the others waiting for, like idiots? To die?
Thinking of this, Lin Can couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
These pathetic fellows actually intend to compete for the inheritance with their meager strength; it's utterly laughable.
Without any solid foundation or killer moves to protect themselves, what makes them think they can compete with him on the same stage?
Based on that ridiculous greed?
Lin Can glanced at everyone with amusement, thought for a moment, and then suddenly interrupted their nonsense:
"Alright, instead of thinking about those things, let's think about how to break the barrier and enter the palace."
"Regardless of the cause of that purple-gold pillar of light, its power is so great that those nearby have probably already been reduced to ashes. There is no need to pay too much attention to it."
After saying that, he glanced to the side, his tone suddenly turning cold:
"Jade Pool Demon Lord, it's your turn to send someone to break the formation. Behave yourselves and step forward quickly, don't force us to take action again."
Upon hearing this, everyone snapped out of their daze and followed his gaze in that direction.
There, more than twenty demon cultivators of various appearances were either sitting or standing. Upon hearing this, they all turned their enormous beast heads and looked toward the human cultivators.
These demon cultivators exuded a powerful demonic aura and terrifying murderous intent, their eyes gleaming with spiritual light; they were all powerful beings at the level of demon lords.
With more than twenty demon lords gathered together, they would be a match for even the city lord.
But at this moment, they were none of the arrogance they had shown in the outside world. Faced with hundreds of human cultivators, they could only huddle together for warmth and cautiously seek survival.
Upon hearing this, anger flickered in the eyes of the demons, but they dared not lash out at this moment. They could only exchange glances and look at the black tortoise standing at the front with red eyes.
The black tortoise was pitch black all over, and even though it had not yet revealed its true form, it was still three zhang in size. On its back, there were also golden lines as thick as fingers.
The golden patterns meandered and twisted, seemingly chaotic, yet they appeared to contain some kind of peculiar power that could not be ignored.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Jade Pool Demon Lord slowly opened his eyes, glanced around, and with a soft snort, suppressed his anger as he spoke:
"Feng Bai, you go."
Upon hearing this, the weakest white-haired rat demon in the demon horde trembled, but dared not resist. He could only respond with a sullen face and step out from the crowd.
As it passed by, it glanced at the Jade Pool Demon Lord and calmly said:
"What you're doing is just prolonging your lives. If I die, you won't live much longer either."
Upon hearing this, the human cultivators merely sneered and ignored it, but the demons felt a sinking feeling in their hearts and were secretly furious.
"If we had known this would happen, we shouldn't have come to join in the fun."
A demon lord curled his lips, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, and spat out white breath towards the human race, grumbling in a telepathic voice.
"What's the use of saying all this now? We came here to hide from that sword cultivator. We never expected that although we escaped that killing god, we would encounter so many human cultivators. It's truly fate that has destroyed us..."
The demons were filled with mixed emotions. They thought that as long as they could avoid the ruthless swordsman who killed demons without blinking an eye, everything would be fine. Who knew that they would encounter so many human cultivators?
In their efforts to break the formation, they had already lost one demon lord and another whose primordial spirit was severely injured and who remained unconscious.
The situation isn't much better for the human race, but their numbers are too small. If things continue like this, they'll all die on that array barrier sooner or later.
Hearing their words, the Jade Pool Demon Lord remained silent, only shaking his massive body before closing his eyes and lying down again.
When no one could see it, a purple dragon scale slowly emerged beneath its black eyelids.
The dragon scale was about the size of a palm, with a strange, deep purple rune carved on it. Inside the rune was a purple-red lightning bolt that slowly traveled along the path of the rune.
The so-called need for the Demon Lord to cooperate in breaking the formation was merely a stopgap measure.
It possesses a deadly move left behind by the Dragon Emperor, and as long as that swordsman doesn't come, it can even fight against the human city lord.
We are just waiting for an opportunity.
The demon race has always been powerless against these formations and barriers, but the human race has a great deal of knowledge about formations, so using the human race to break the formations is the best option.
It is only temporarily bowing its head, waiting for those cultivators to break the formation, at which point it will unleash its killing spree and vie for the inheritance.
As for the death of a few demon lords...
They're nothing but a bunch of useless trash. They're dead, so be it. Once it obtains the inheritance here, it will surely slaughter all of humanity and avenge them.
The Jade Pool Demon Lord's lips twitched slightly as he fantasized about receiving the inheritance, leaving this cage, experiencing a surge in cultivation, and returning to his clan in a high-profile manner.
Once it returns, it will trample all those worthless people who once looked down on it under its feet, and show them who the true hope of the tribe really is.
He also aspires to become the first Demon Emperor of the Jade Turtle Clan, leading the clan to rule the demon race until he achieves great success and becomes the first supreme demon immortal in the clan to ascend to the immortal realm.
By then, its legend will be passed down through generations, and it will truly become famous throughout the world.
Just as it was fantasizing about ascending to heaven, a chill broke through the tortoise shell and instantly touched its back. The icy touch made the Jade Pool Demon Lord shudder and suddenly wake up with wide eyes.
"Who goes there?!"
It let out a low growl and suddenly turned its head to look around, but could not find where the chill came from.
Just then, a black snowflake slowly drifted down from in front of it, landing on the tip of its nose. Upon touching it, it tore through the protective barrier, and upon landing on its skin, it turned into a chill that went straight to its heart and lungs.
