Mortal Bones

"boom!……"

The next moment the Demon King's body was torn apart by the black claws, a black claw shadow suddenly flew out from among the pieces of flesh, and then a ghostly face appeared in the claw shadow.

"Chi!"

Seeing this, Xu Taiping slashed the name of Demon Emperor Black Claw with the carving knife in his hand, severing the name from it.

"ah!……"

In an instant, the grimace on the black claw shadow let out a shrill scream.

"boom!"

Then, a big pale hand appeared out of thin air behind the clawed shadow and grabbed it.

Finally, the big pale hand and the clawed face disappeared together.

"This is the most terrifying thing about the Book of Life and Death. Not only can it kill you, it can also take away your soul and seal you in the netherworld for eternity, where you will suffer endless torture."

"Even if you are the Demon Emperor, it won't work if you are a natural calamity demon!"

After seeing this scene, Fairy Lingyue in Linyuan Pavilion murmured to herself.

Everyone on the side looked stern when they heard this.

"That's not right." Ye Chensha shook his head after hearing this, "Now that the Netherworld has been destroyed, shouldn't he be reincarnated directly after being wiped out from the Book of Life and Death?"

As he spoke, he looked at Fairy Lingyue aside, and then continued to ask:

"Monarch Yue Zhutian, demon species cannot enter reincarnation, so the Demon King's Black Claw should be reborn in the Seventh Demonic Abyss. How could it be sealed?"

Fairy Lingyue did not answer directly, but waved her sleeves, causing the shadow cast by the Haotian Mirror to reveal the image of Xu Taiping at this moment.

Immediately, everyone in the hall saw with astonishment the face of the claw shadow transformed by the demon emperor's black claw demon species' soul, suddenly appearing on the thirteenth floor of Xuanhuang Tower.

Moreover, the clawed face was like a red-hot iron at the moment, being pushed little by little towards Xu Taiping with one finger by the pale hand.

"The Seventh Demonic Abyss of Xuanhuangtian, the Black Claw of the Demon Emperor."

"Executed."

"Put this mark on me."

"The soul of Black Claw will be sealed to you forever."

"Put this mark on me."

"You are in the dark."

"Don't bear this mark."

"The Book of Life and Death chooses another owner."

"The conferred soul returns to a distant place."

When the claw shadow like a branding iron appeared, the two skeleton silhouettes, one black and one white, stood on both sides of the claw shadow, one on the left and one on the right, and each said one sentence or another alternately.

Everyone in Linyuan Hall was stunned when they heard the conversation between the black and white skeletons in the shadow.

"Could it be that...could it be said that...the person who controls the Book of Life and Death must use himself to seal the demon seed and soul of the monster?"

Seeing this scene, Ye Chensha was shocked and a little confused.

"yes."

The frowning Fairy Lingyue nodded.

"Since the Nether Sky was shattered in the lower realm, every successor of the Book of Life and Death must use his own body to seal and obliterate the soul of the person who wants to use the power of the Book of Life and Death."

"It would be fine if it were an ordinary monk's soul, but if it is a demon soul, once it cannot be suppressed, it will easily go crazy and become neither human nor demonic."

"The most important thing is that his path of cultivation will most likely be cut off."

Cangzhu Tianjun sighed.

After listening to the explanations of the two people, Ye Chensha suddenly felt enlightened and murmured to himself:

"No wonder Senior Yuezhu is so opposed to Brother Taiping's manipulation of the Book of Life and Death."

He finally understood why Fairy Lingyue was so out of sorts before.

At the same time, he and everyone in the hall finally understood what determination Xu Taiping had in questioning the Eight Emperors.

"The next step is the biggest test. If Taiping can seal the soul of the Black Claw Demon Seed without being counterattacked, then with the luck of the Golden Scale Ranking, it is possible for him to have the Soul Seal of the Eight Emperor Demon Seed. survived the situation.”

Fairy Lingyue crossed her arms and murmured to herself.

At this time, his face looked solemn as never before.

After hearing what she said, everyone in the hall stopped talking and looked at the shadow cast by the Haotian Mirror in front of them with the same serious expression.

At this time, in the shadow cast by the spiritual mirror, Xu Taiping's expression was calm when facing the demon soul that was like a red-hot iron.

He had been prepared from the moment he made the decision.

Then, he was seen emotionlessly taking off his clothes and looking directly at the soul of the black-clawed demon species like a red-hot iron.

"Xu Taiping."

Just when the fingers of the pale hand were about to push the black-clawed soul like a branding iron to Xu Taiping, Emperor Xuanhuang, who had been silent, suddenly grabbed the wrist of the pale hand, preventing him from continuing. forward.

"I will send your soul to leave Xuanhuang Tower."

Emperor Xuanhuang said in an extremely serious tone.

"Why?"

Xu Taiping looked at Emperor Xuanhuang with some confusion.

"I suddenly feel that for the entire human race in the Shangqing Realm, your life and death may be more important than the survival of Xuanhuangtian."

Emperor Xuanhuang's tone was still extremely serious.

"It is an honor for me to be appreciated by the emperor."

Xu Taiping smiled at Emperor Xuanhuang calmly, then looked at the big pale hand again, and continued:

"But if I can't keep my true heart, I'm afraid that this soul mark will backfire and I will end my path of cultivation."

Hearing this, Emperor Xuanhuang just stared at Xu Taiping without saying a word.

How could he not know what Xu Taiping said?

However, the reason why he tried to dissuade Xu Taiping again was not because he really felt that he would be useful to the human race in the upper Qing Realm in the future. He just felt compassion for Xu Taiping and did not want to see this junior who still persisted in his true nature in the face of a desperate situation. die.

"Well then."

After a long while, Emperor Xuanhuang finally let go of his hand.

"There are very few people in this world who can stick to their original intentions until death. Just for this reason, I have to help you."

Emperor Xuanhuang nodded solemnly.

"Thank you for your help."

Xu Taiping grinned, then looked at the "branding iron" transformed by the black claw spirit again, and then said to the pale hand calmly:

"Please brand this mark on the left arm of the younger generation, so as to leave room for the remaining seven demon emperors."

The pale hand seemed to really understand Xu Taiping's words, pushing the finger of the black claw branding iron slightly towards Xu Taiping's left arm, and then continued to push it in front of Xu Taiping.

When the black claw branding iron was about to stick to Xu Taiping's left arm, the pale arm suddenly paused, as if waiting for Xu Taiping's final confirmation.

"Thank you!"

Xu Taiping nodded heavily.

"Snap!"

As soon as the words fell, the pale hand's fingers pressed the branding iron transformed by the clawed ghost face to Xu Taiping's left arm.

"Ah!——"

No matter how determined Xu Taiping was, when the branding iron transformed by the black claw demon's soul branded his left arm, he still screamed in pain.

The reason why it hurt so much was that the branding iron burned not the body, but the soul.

"Hold on, Taiping!"

In Linyuan Palace, Fairy Lingyue once again lost her composure and yelled after hearing Xu Taiping's painful scream.
