Chapter 392 Time Demon

Most people in the Secret Realm saw the giant spirit tail in the sky above.

"That is someone from the Snow Spirit Fox Clan, and on the other side is a Demonic Path Cultivator. It looks like something went wrong over there."

"But why is there such an aura? A Demonic Path Cultivator shouldn't be emitting this kind of aura."

"I can feel my lifespan and other things inside me constantly draining away. If this continues, we are going to die here."

Xue Ji's battle continued, and the Secret Realm began to tremble gradually.

As time passed, people gradually began to collapse.

This caused many to panic, and the sky began to darken at this moment.

The Demonic Path Cultivator had sustained quite a few injuries by now.

But he couldn't care less; he had a backup plan.

Xue Ji looked at the Demonic Path Cultivator before her. "I told you that you were too confident."

The Demonic Path Cultivator ignored her, laughing wildly, his laughter somewhat hair-raising.

At this moment, Xue Ji's ominous premonition grew heavier.

No, I must eliminate this person immediately; perhaps then the unease in my heart will vanish.

The Demonic Path Cultivator saw through Xue Ji's intentions.

"It is too late; everything is already too late."

He knew he was no match for Xue Ji. He hadn't expected her to possess such ability, but since that was the case, then…

He took out a Soul containing the power of a Tribulation Crossing Stage existence and swallowed it in one gulp. This was the item from that box back then.

It was also the reason he knew a Demon Race existed here; it was all guidance from that box.

As soon as he finished speaking, this black shadow turned and threw itself into a strange light.

"When Lord absorbs you, he will be able to recover quite a bit of his power. You are destined to remain here today."

As he spoke, the Demonic Path Cultivator's aura began to dissipate, and his vitality decreased rapidly.

A moment later, the Demonic Path Cultivator vanished into the world; in other words, he sacrificed himself without a hint of hesitation.

Such a scene made Xue Ji feel that something was wrong.

Xue Ji felt that ominous aura gradually reviving; something was about to appear, and it was not something she could contend with.

"Not good, everyone, leave this place quickly!"

Just as Xue Ji finished speaking, the entire Secret Realm was suddenly frozen.

It was as if everything had stopped in an instant.

Xue Ji and her group were the same, frozen in place, unable to move.

Even Ling Wanqing, who was preparing her next move, was the same.

At this moment, Ling Wanqing seemed to appear in a void, her body unable to move.

In that instant, Ling Wanqing realized the terrifying nature of that power.

There was actually an existence with such power in this Secret Realm, and now, it had "revived".

She had been frozen in an instant, and now she knew nothing about what was happening outside.

However, Ling Wanqing also knew that the power would constantly devour them. It was one thing for those with strong strength; they could naturally hold on for a long time, but Su Yu was different—he was only at the Nascent Soul Stage.

If this continued, Su Yu might truly disappear before her eyes.

No, she absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen before her eyes.

Such a thing would absolutely not happen.

Since that is the case, no matter the cost, I must shatter all of this.

Ling Wanqing no longer hesitated, a strange light beginning to emanate from her eyes.

It even seemed as if some shackles could be seen within them.

At this moment, Ling Wanqing's aura began to change, appearing increasingly ethereal.

And that freezing power began to become ineffective on Ling Wanqing.

But just at this moment, an anomaly occurred; a very warm force enveloped her entire body.

Ling Wanqing, who had been conscious and was even on the verge of breaking through the restrictions of this power…

…seemed to fall quietly asleep.

Ling Wanqing fell down into someone's embrace.

At this moment, Ling Wanqing lay in Su Yu's arms, and the Illusory World Eye in Su Yu's eyes was also operating.

Ling Wanqing appeared in the illusion he had created.

Su Yu touched Ling Wanqing's face. "Just leave everything to me; sleep peacefully."

Su Yu placed Ling Wanqing into the space he had created.

After settling Ling Wanqing, Su Yu appeared back at the original spot.

"Alright, the real show is only just beginning."

"I didn't expect you to really exist here, Time Demon, a true Demon Race."

An existence that has mastered the entry-level Law of Time; such existences are rare, top-tier figures even outside the Spirit Domain.

Yet one is buried here, and now it has awakened.

This was also the reason Su Yu came to this Secret Realm; he had originally planned to come in and try his luck.

Su Yu had always wanted to master the Law of Time quickly; it would make many things much more convenient to handle.

When the world was frozen by time, Su Yu knew that this was the power of the Law of Time.

"Time Demon, is it? I have been waiting for you to appear."

"Do not disappoint me."

Over at Xue Ji's side, as the earth began to collapse continuously, a figure slowly began to emerge.

This figure was as bulky as a small mountain, with knotted muscles. Every inch of its skin was covered in dark golden demonic patterns, with dark red liquid demonic fire flowing through the lines. When it walked, the ground was scorched with charred marks by the demonic fire.

Its posture was between human and beast. Its head was angular, and a pair of spiral blood-red horns grew from its forehead, the horns covered in barbs.

It had a pair of giant bone wings on its back; the wing bones were dark black, like the skeleton of a giant bat magnified several times, and the wing membranes were dark red.

Su Yu looked at the Time Demon in the distance. It looked so different; this was a true Demon Race.

Su Yu looked at the Demon Race before him, which possessed the cultivation of the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

The Demon Race is very rare, but precisely because of this, every single one is a powerful existence.

And they basically all possess special abilities.

The Time Demon had now completely awakened.

The Time Demon looked at everything in the Secret Realm. "Too long, it has been far too long. I actually slept for so long this time before being awakened."

"People of the Spirit Domain, prepare to welcome the return of me, the Time Demon."

Manic laughter filled the entire Secret Realm.

The Time Demon looked at everything around him. "They are all just ants. Using them as the first replenishment of energy after my awakening is not bad."

The Time Demon looked at the people before him, and at this moment, the Time Demon thought of something.

Just when he had awakened, he seemed to have sensed that in one place, someone seemed to be about to break through the restrictions of his Law of Time.

But it disappeared very quickly, which made him somewhat surprised; he had to go and check the source.

He would ignore these people for now; they couldn't escape anyway.

As he spoke, the Time Demon arrived at the place where Ling Wanqing had just been.

But there was no sign of Ling Wanqing there now; she had long since been protected by Su Yu.

Outside, only Su Yu stood there, motionless.

The Time Demon looked at Su Yu. "Could it not be here?"

The person before him only had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage; he wasn't even enough to fill the gaps in his teeth. Seeing him standing motionless, he knew this was impossible.

That is strange; I clearly sensed that power.
