Top enlightenment at 100 years old-Chapter 457 - 456: Silently Erased

Turning his head to look.

He saw that within this palace, at some unknown point, several figures had already appeared.

The owners of these figures, like the Thunder Mountain Demon Emperor, had transformed into human form.

However, the spiritual pressure and aura they emitted were undoubtedly much stronger than that of the Thunder Mountain Demon Emperor.

Ji Haoyuan never expected that so many old figures were still hidden within the Thousand Saints Mountain.

Each of them could almost sweep across the entire Southern Wilderness Realm.

But simultaneously, Ji Haoyuan noticed that each of these figures bore an air of decay and decline.

This is a sign that their lifespans are nearing their end.

Indeed.

At the fifth stage of Divinity Transformation, whether human cultivators or demon emperors, their lifespans reach up to five thousand years.

But no matter how long the lifespan, as long as one has not reached the seventh stage of Harmonization, there will inevitably come a day when it ends.

Even for someone like him, a Refining Void Divine Monarch, the maximum lifespan doesn’t exceed ten thousand years.

This is the rule of this world.

No one, no race, is exempt.

Obviously, these old figures have not appeared in the Southern Wilderness Realm until now.

Not because they didn’t want to, but because they couldn’t.

Because every time they appear, it’s equivalent to accelerating their death.

If they were to take action, this pace of accelerated death would increase even more.

After one battle, their essence and lifespan might be utterly exhausted.

Understanding this, Ji Haoyuan immediately lost interest in these old figures.

However, the Thunder Mountain Demon Emperor and others present all showed hopeful expressions in their eyes.

Indeed.

They also knew that these older demon emperors, who had been in slumber for many years, didn’t have much lifespan left.

But at the same time, their strength and cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the fifth stage.

With them present and on their own Thousand Saints Mountain, the safety of themselves should be assured.

Especially since the array formations on their Thousand Saints Mountain could be perfectly controlled by these elders.

Thinking of this, the Thunder Mountain Demon Emperor and others immediately turned their gaze to Ji Haoyuan to see his reaction.

As a result, just that glance made them suddenly stunned.

Only to see Ji Haoyuan’s eyes filled with mockery.

And he said with a tone not lacking in ridicule, "Accountability? You demons have killed so many of our human cultivators over the past hundred years, plundering so many of our resources.

How do you plan to answer me? What right do you have to explain to me?"

This remark immediately made the faces of the Thunder Mountain Demon Emperor and others turn extremely unpleasant.

Even the eyes of the owners of those figures sharply narrowed.

Among them, an old man dressed in a brocade robe, with a hooked nose and sharp eyes, suddenly stepped forward and said to Ji Haoyuan:

"Sir, I know that being able to appear silently in our demon land must mean you have remarkable abilities.

But don’t forget, this is the core of our demon race, and the foundation hidden here is not something everyone can bear.

I advise you, people like you and me find cultivation difficult, so it’s best to think carefully before doing anything."

As his words fell, the entire palace suddenly trembled slightly.

Runes emitting dazzling spirit light appeared in the void.

And chains burning with crimson-gold flames formed in the air, flying around.

Clatter!

These chains seemed to carry power capable of sealing the void and burning the primordial spirit.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately approached within ten feet of Ji Haoyuan.

The threatening intent was already self-evident.

However, Ji Haoyuan didn’t seem to care at all.

He didn’t even give those chains or the runes flashing in the surrounding void another glance.

The chains burning with crimson-gold flames and the runes flashing with dazzling spirit light all vanished instantly like bubbles.

"What?"

The old man with the silver hook nose and brocade robe, as well as the others beside him, suddenly showed shocked expressions.

They never expected that the array power they had just invoked would be so easily dispelled by Ji Haoyuan.

Most importantly, they didn’t detect any magical power fluctuations from Ji Haoyuan at all.

What on earth is happening?

Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan couldn’t help but sneer.

"Since I could come to you silently, do you really think your so-called pinnacle fifth stage array is of any use to me?"

With that, Ji Haoyuan no longer intended to waste time.

He just stood there quietly.

But everyone present, including the Thunder Mountain Demon Emperor, the old man with the silver hook nose, and all others, were shocked to discover.

Their bodies, primordial spirits, and even the magical power inside them were disappearing in a way they couldn’t comprehend.

As if being slowly erased by some unknown force.

"Se...Senior!"

At this moment, whether it was the old man with the silver hook nose or the Thunder Mountain Demon Emperor, they were horrifiedly aware.

The person in front of them might not be a fifth-stage being but an existence beyond the fifth stage!

This could also explain why the array of their Thousand Saints Mountain and all their men were completely unaware of this person’s appearance.

"Spare...spare us!

We will agree to whatever you want!

We can be your spirit pet, or even your mount, just spare our lives!"

At this moment, these previously high-ranking fifth-stage demon emperors were filled with terror.

But Ji Haoyuan had no interest in subduing these demon emperors.

He slowly turned around and headed out of the palace.

All the demon emperors behind him were filled with terror on their faces.

And just as Ji Haoyuan’s figure was about to leave the palace, all the demon emperors within the palace vanished entirely from this world.

As if they never appeared from the start.

Hmm...?

Suddenly.

Ji Haoyuan’s spiritual sense seemed to be touched by some qi mechanism.

This surprised him somewhat.

What else here could catch my attention?

Curious, he followed this qi mechanism’s sense and headed towards a peak thousands of feet away.

The next moment.

He retrieved one storage ring from those left by the demon emperors.

And opened it.

Soon, a talisman with a transparent body appeared in his hand.

Almost at the same time.

In a certain void on this mountaintop, something seemed to form a connection with the transparent talisman in Ji Haoyuan’s hand.

Gradually.

A portal suddenly formed in this void.
