Chapter 13128 The Stubborn Grand Elder

"I don't believe it. If you have the strength to destroy my imperial palace, why don't you do it?" This sentence from his mouth not only failed to shock Ling Xiao, but also made everyone present sweat for him.

His stubbornness, at this moment, seemed more like an ignorant provocation, and was extremely irresponsible to the safety of himself and the entire imperial palace.

There was a blind self-confidence in his eyes, as if he could change the situation as long as he didn't back down. However, this self-confidence was nothing more than a clown-like funny performance in Ling Xiao's eyes.

Ling Xiao raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and the smile was full of contempt and disdain for the supreme elder. He knew that his strength and the power behind him were enough to make the persistence of this "stubborn" elder meaningless.

However, meeting such a stubborn person would indeed add a lot of unnecessary trouble. They are like tireless stones. No matter how the wind and rain wash, they still stubbornly stick to their position and are not moved by external pressure at all.

In front of such an opponent, if you want to use intimidation as a means to force him to submit, then you must make sure that you have real strength and trump cards in your hands.

Because once your intimidation is just a facade and fails to make the other party afraid, the consequences will be unpredictable. Your bluff will instead become an opportunity for the other party to counterattack, putting you in a more dangerous situation.

Relying purely on deception to achieve the goal may achieve some results in a short period of time. After all, there is always a trace of luck and greed in human nature.

But such a method is ultimately just a stopgap measure and cannot last long. Because in this world, there are no eternal lies or eternal fools. Once your lies are exposed, or the other party sees through your tricks, then you will face irreparable failure and catastrophe.

"Die!"

This roar, like the judgment of the god of death from the underworld, with endless majesty and coldness, suddenly exploded from the rolling black fog. With this roar, a heart-pounding terrifying force broke out instantly, as if even the space was trembling at this moment.

Then, the second supreme elder in the imperial palace, the strong man who was once known for his "hardheadedness", seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand. His face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his eyes were wide open, full of disbelief and fear.

His body, in full view of everyone, slowly fell down without any struggle or resistance. But what was even more shocking was that as his body fell, an invisible force seemed to be drawn out of his body, turning into starlight and dissipating into the air.

That was his soul, which was completely destroyed at this moment, and his soul flew away, leaving only an intact but lifeless body lying quietly on the cold ground.

This scene made everyone present feel unprecedented shock and fear. They knew that this was not something that human power could do, but that the legendary Demon Soul King, with his terrifying strength, easily wiped out the existence of a Tianhe Realm strongman.

And Ling Xiao, this seemingly young but ruthless young man, had a faint smile on his lips. The reason why he wasted the precious opportunity of the Demon Soul King was because the Imperial Palace contained the thing he was determined to get - the Heart of the East Sea Earth.

This was not only a rare treasure, but also an indispensable key item on his path of cultivation.

Recalling the last time he got the Heart of the East Sea Wood from the Jiang family, the purity and power of the natural force still made him remember it vividly.

And this time, if he could get the Heart of the East Sea Earth again, according to the principle of earth giving birth to wood, his dragon soul would be nourished and strengthened unprecedentedly, thus taking a more solid step on the path of cultivation.

This temptation was undoubtedly irresistible to Ling Xiao. Therefore, even if he had to waste the opportunity of the Demon Soul King to make a move, he would never regret it. In his heart, only strength and growth were the most important. And all of this would pave a smooth road to the peak for his future path.

Ling Xiao walked forward slowly, and every step seemed to step on the tense nerves of the crowd. The bloodthirsty sword soul in his hand flashed with a strange light, like the sickle of the god of death, ruthlessly piercing the body of the fallen Grand Elder.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the Grand Elder's face lost color at a speed visible to the naked eye. His eyes were wide open, full of despair and unwillingness. The blood in his body was swallowed by the bloodthirsty sword soul, like a river backflowing, and was instantly drained, leaving only a shriveled body, proving the disappearance of life.

With the influx of this majestic vitality, Ling Xiao's body seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes. His breath rose steadily, and the barrier of the Divine Power Realm, which was originally on the verge of a breakthrough, was shattered at this moment.

A more powerful and condensed force surged in his body, marking that he had officially entered the threshold of the Divine Bone Realm.

This was not only an improvement in realm, but also a leap in strength. After all, what he absorbed was the entire essence of the blood and qi of a Tianhe Realm expert. Even if it was the cultivation of the early Tianhe Realm, it was a rare and precious treasure for Ling Xiao.

The people around him witnessed all this, and their faces were complicated. Some were shocked by Ling Xiao's ruthlessness and strength, while others were worried about the future of the Imperial Palace.

However, facing Ling Xiao's cold and powerful figure, no one dared to act rashly, let alone stop him. The air was filled with an extremely repressed silence, and everyone was secretly calculating in their hearts how to protect themselves in this sudden change.

After Ling Xiao completed his promotion, he slowly retracted his bloodthirsty sword soul, his eyes were like torches, and he coldly scanned the crowd around him. Finally, his sight was fixed on Di Huangzhu. The princess of the Imperial Palace was biting her lower lip at this moment, with both anger and helplessness in her eyes.

Ling Xiao's mouth curled up a mocking smile, and he slowly said: "I said good sister, I have made it very clear before, I don't want to be an enemy of the Imperial Palace, I just want to get back a little compensation that belongs to me. Unfortunately, this supreme elder insisted on intervening. Isn't this obviously forcing me to take action? Now that the person is dead, are you satisfied?"

"Okay, I promise to let you take that thing away." Although Di Huangzhu's voice was light, it revealed an indescribable heaviness. She took a deep breath, as if she wanted to absorb all the anger and fear into her chest and then force it down.

Her clenched fists trembled slightly under the wide sleeves, and her nails almost dug into her palms, but she still tried to maintain her calmness and said this.

She was obviously unwilling, but at this moment, she could only accept her fate.
