Chapter 1278

"You two, why aren't you going to take a treasure?"

Demon King Tianri looked at He Pingsheng and Ming Riyue and suddenly asked.

At this moment, everyone finally reacted.

That's right... we've all gone to take treasures, why are you two indifferent?

Have you discovered something?

Everyone stared at He Pingsheng and Ming Riyue.

Ming Riyue smiled and said, "Brother Tianri, you're the only one of the six great Demon Kings left who hasn't taken a treasure; you should go first!"

"Don't wait until I've taken a treasure and you find yourself with nothing left to take!"

Tianri feared Ming Riyue might be up to something, so he deliberately didn't move forward, saying instead, "No rush... Fellow Daoist Ming Riyue, you go first!"

"If I really don't have the luck, then I won't take anything!"

Ming Riyue turned her gaze toward He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng nodded and said, "Go ahead..."

Then, Ming Riyue flew up with a swoosh, reaching out to grab into the void.

She didn't grab any of the skulls, but instead reached directly for the black chain connecting the thousands of skulls.

"Holy..." Demon King Tianri panicked instantly, saying, "Ming Riyue, what are you doing?"

"You're so greedy, you actually want to take all the treasures for yourself?"

Ming Riyue ignored him and continued to grab the chain.

He Pingsheng just smiled.

Take them all?

How could that be?

Having just seen everyone taking treasures one by one, and knowing the rule that each person could only take one, He Pingsheng had been considering a question.

In this great hall, there was a black chain with thousands of skulls hanging from it.

Aside from looking eerie, it seemed perfectly normal, right?

But in reality, it wasn't normal!

It only looked normal.

First, even low-tier immortals could use magic power or Daoist techniques to suspend thousands of skulls in the void.

Why go through the unnecessary trouble of hanging them with a chain?

Second, when these skulls were wandering around chaotically just now, logically speaking, the chain should have become knotted or even tangled together.

However, it didn't!

At that time, He Pingsheng had locked his spiritual sense onto the chain, wanting to see if it was also an immortal treasure.

He didn't know until he looked, and once he did, he was shocked.

He actually couldn't see through the essence of the chain.

That meant there was a problem.

Being unable to see through it didn't mean it was ordinary; there had to be a reason.

So He Pingsheng communicated with Ming Riyue, encouraging her to try and take the chain.

To see what would happen.

Clatter...

Ming Riyue ignored Demon King Tianri's shouting, reached out, and gave a fierce tug, and the black chain was pulled down by her.

A miraculous scene occurred!

After Ming Riyue pulled the black chain down, those skulls that had seemingly been hanging from the chain remained suspended overhead, continuing to float and wander without any pattern.

"I understand!" Tianku shouted, "These skulls were never tied to the chain in the first place; what looked like they were tied was just an optical illusion!"

Ming Riyue chuckled and said, "You're right!"

Rumble...

The massive black chain shrank in the next moment, turning into something like a bracelet, and landed in her palm.

The several great Demon Kings all crowded around.

"Ming Riyue, we won't snatch it, we just want to know what this is?" Demon King Tianri asked, looking at Ming Riyue.

The other Demon Kings nodded as well.

Ming Riyue frowned slightly and said, "I don't know what this is either!"

"It's just... completely ordinary... if you don't believe me, see for yourselves!"

She extended her palm, and a small bracelet lay on her fair, white hand.

The great Demon Kings swept their spiritual sense over it one by one, but without exception, they couldn't detect any information.

It was as if it were a completely ordinary, mundane object.

"Brother, why don't you take a look?" Ming Riyue walked two steps to He Pingsheng's side and held out her hand in front of him.

"Alright..." He Pingsheng was also curious; he reached out and picked up the bracelet, sweeping his spiritual sense over it as well.

However, there was nothing special about it.

Completely ordinary.

He gave a bitter smile and said, "I don't know either... I can't tell!"

"Junior Sister, try sending your demonic energy into it!"

He Pingsheng placed the bracelet back into Ming Riyue's hand.

"Mm-hmm..." Ming Riyue nodded, then took a deep breath and sent her demonic energy into the bracelet.

Rumble...

The next moment, the black bracelet grew violently, turning into dozens of feet in size, winding like a giant black dragon as it soared up and shrouded everyone's heads.

Caught off guard, eight chains suddenly dropped down, each one lashing out toward a person.

Everyone was terrified, each of them exerting force from their feet, trying to break free and escape.

Unfortunately, it was completely useless.

Even He Pingsheng couldn't move an inch.

In the next moment, the chains wrapped around the eight of them.

Powerful suction emanated from the chains, forcibly draining the demonic energy from the eight people.

The speed was extremely fast.

At this rate, in less than half an incense stick's time, everyone would be drained dry.

"Damn it..." Demon King Tianshi said furiously, "What is going on?"

"Ming Riyue, what kind of trick are you playing?"

He still thought Ming Riyue was playing a trick!

In reality, Ming Riyue was now suffering in silence; enduring the pain of her demonic energy being drained, she said, "It's not me... it has nothing to do with me!"

"Don't talk!" He Pingsheng said, "Everyone, resist with all your might, otherwise no one will survive!"

No one knew that He Pingsheng was actually the most anxious one right now.

When the chain was draining his demonic energy just now, He Pingsheng had played a little trick, using the Tai Xu Profound Demon Scripture to convert his demonic energy into Profound Sect Five Elements spiritual power.

In his judgment, if I have no demonic energy left, what are you going to drain?

As it turned out, with no demonic energy, the chain began to drain his life force directly.

And when He Pingsheng tried to convert his Profound Sect Five Elements immortal energy back into demonic energy, his meridians were blocked.

He couldn't circulate it.

The white-haired He Pingsheng's skin slowly began to wither and turn yellow, and wrinkles appeared on his face.

"Brother... what's wrong with you?" Seeing that He Pingsheng wasn't right, Ming Riyue was anxious.

How could He Pingsheng have time to pay attention to Ming Riyue?

His sea of consciousness was spinning wildly as he pondered a way to escape.

Magic power couldn't be used!

Spiritual sense had no effect!

Demonic energy was useless!

Life force was being drained.

What to do?

The only thing He Pingsheng could use now was his physical blood energy.

He just didn't know if this damn chain would suppress his blood energy.

"Open... for me..." He Pingsheng roared, and the thirty-six golden immortal runes branded deep within his body suddenly emerged.

The Chaos Golden Scripture spun wildly.

Fortunately, circulating blood energy didn't require passing through meridians; he used the thirty-six immortal runes within his body.

With a light turn, his body instantly grew to a thousand feet tall!
