The statue looked down at Ling Xiao in an almost scrutinizing manner, with complex light shining in its deep eyes.
"Although you are a human body, carrying fragility and insignificance, you have the potential to become the new Demon Soul King. After all, although the Demon Soul King is a demon with powerful blood and power, the demon clan,
In a sense, we are also the race closest to humans. We also have intelligence and emotions, and we also yearn for power and glory."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a kind of alertness and doubt.
He doesn't like such roundabout rhetoric, and he doesn't like the feeling of being arranged by others.
"No need to beat around the bush, senior, just tell me directly, what exactly do you want to do?" There was a hint of displeasure in his voice, but it also revealed an unquestionable determination.
The statue seemed to feel Ling Xiao's dissatisfaction, but its tone was still calm and deep: "I will replace you with a body, a body of a demon soul beast. That way, you can truly integrate into the demon clan and become the demon soul king.
Possessing the power and glory of the Demon Soul Beast clan. This is my expectation for your future and recognition of your potential."
When Ling Xiao heard this, his expression instantly became serious.
He said in a deep voice: "Senior, don't be ridiculous! I, Ling Xiao, was born as a human being. Although I have no prominent background, I don't want to be an alien in the eyes of others. I cherish my identity, and I cherish my soul even more. Let me give up
It is impossible for a human body to become a demon soul beast!"
He doesn't want to become some demon soul beast. To him, that would be tantamount to losing himself and becoming a puppet controlled by the will of others.
He just wants to be himself, the Ling Xiao with independent thought and free will! He cherishes every thought and every emotion he has, which is his most precious wealth as a human being.
What's more, he has always felt that although human beings have a low starting point, do not have the innate power of the demon clan, and do not have the mysterious innate magical powers of the demon clan, human learning ability is the strongest among all races.
of.
They can learn from failures, sum up experience from success, constantly improve themselves and surpass themselves. This ability is unmatched by any race.
For him to give up his body in exchange for a seemingly powerful force, for him, it is tantamount to abandoning the basics and losing the most essential thing as a human being.
Although his body is fragile, it carries his soul, his memories, and his emotions. That is his unique proof in this world and is his most profound connection with this world.
Therefore, when the statue made this suggestion, his heart was full of rejection and disdain.
He stared at the statue coldly, and his voice was firm and powerful: "That's impossible. I, Ling Xiao, was born as a human and will die as a human. I will never give up my identity and soul for any power."
His eyes were shining with unyielding light, as if he was declaring his determination and belief to the statue.
He knows very well that real power does not come from external gifts, but from inner determination and unyielding. He will write his own legend in his own way to prove the value and glory of mankind.
The voice of the statue echoed in the empty hall, with an unmistakable coldness: "Why, you don't want to be the new Demon Soul King? This is an opportunity that many people dream of, but you want to give up so easily?"
Ling Xiao nodded firmly, his eyes revealing unshakable determination: "Yes, I just want to be myself! I, Ling Xiao, don't seek to be a hero in the eyes of others, I just want to live my own life."
After saying that, he turned around and left firmly, each step seeming to declare his determination to the statue. However, before he had taken a few steps, a powerful and oppressive force suddenly enveloped him, like an invisible force.
The shackles restricted his actions.
Ling Xiao's face turned cold instantly, and his eyes flashed with unyielding light: "Why, are you still planning to force yourself? I, Ling Xiao, am not someone who can be manipulated by others!"
The statue's gaze is as deep as an abyss. It looks down at Ling Xiao, with a hint of determination and helplessness in its voice:
"I can't wait any longer. The fate of the Demon Soul Beast clan has reached a critical moment of life and death. And if you become the Demon Soul King, my Demon Soul Beast may still have hope of revival. So, it's up to you!"
As the statue finished speaking, Ling Xiao's body suddenly trembled violently, as if being invaded by an invisible force.
A trace of shock and anger flashed in his eyes, but he was unable to resist. At the same time, the corpse of a Demon Soul Beast suddenly appeared in front of him. The cold body seemed to tell the tragic fate of the Demon Soul Beast clan.
The appearance of this corpse is exactly the same as the statue behind him. Both the ferocious face and the majestic body reveal a shocking power.
This is a huge demonic soul beast. Its huge size alone is enough to make people feel awe. It is definitely not comparable to ordinary demonic soul beasts like Lie Yong and Wen Yu.
Even Dumb, the powerful demonic soul beast that once gave Ling Xiao a headache, looked inferior in front of this corpse, which clearly showed how powerful it was.
Check out the correct version one by one!
A flash of surprise and anger flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes. He didn't expect the statue to be so decisive and force him in this way. His fists were clenched, his knuckles turned white from the exertion, and the unwillingness and anger in his heart were like a volcano.
About to explode.
"Since you want to play hard, don't blame me!" Ling Xiao's voice was low and firm, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. He hated others forcing themselves the most, especially in this way.
.At this moment, the defense in his heart completely collapsed and he decided not to hold back any longer.
I saw a dark and powerful force suddenly surge in his body, which was the black devil that he had not released for a long time. The black devil was born with him. From the moment he awakened his martial soul,
The dark devil has always been with him.
A long time ago, the Black Demon saved his life at a critical moment of life and death, but at that time, he felt that the Dark Demon was too dangerous and difficult to control, so from then on, he suppressed the Dark Demon and never used it.
But today, Ling Xiao has reached a situation where he has to let the black devil take action. He knows that once his body is forcibly changed, he may lose not only his identity and soul, but also the relationship with his relatives and friends.
The deep emotions between us, as well as the growth and memories gained with sweat and tears.
He cannot accept this price.
However, at this critical moment, the voice of the Demon Spirit King suddenly came from the Demon Needle space, with a hint of reproach and urgency:
