White mist enveloped the sky and earth, turning the world into a vast sea.
But the black mist that surged in quickly was like injecting black ink into a clear water tank, quickly turning the entire white mist into black.
From time to time, there were bursts of miserable howls and sharp hisses as the mist surged, and human faces wailing in pain kept emerging from the black mist.
In an instant, the sky changed color and the air solidified.
It was as if a peerless demon was resurrecting.
Endless black mist and human figures condensed in front of the temple, turning into a blurry figure.
Although the face of this figure could not be seen clearly, Lin Bai could vaguely see that he had a cloak on his head, and the entire black mist seemed to have turned into his cloak.
"not him!"
"It's the incarnation of his corpse energy!"
The statue of a woman in the temple regained some of her composure. Looking at the phantom condensed by the black mist, she was sure that it was not the corpse old demon.
"Can a mere incarnation of corpse energy have such strong oppressive power?" Standing in the temple, Lin Bai subconsciously lifted up his sleeves and glanced at his arms. Goosebumps had already appeared on his skin.
A sense of fear and despair originating from the depths of his soul kept lingering in Lin Bai's heart. No matter how Lin Bai tried to dispel it, he could not completely push it out of his body.
The figure that emerged from the endless black mist only appeared in front of the temple for a moment, and then suddenly raised its hand and grabbed it towards the temple.
The black mist turned into sharp claws and fell on the dim light curtain of the temple, creating bursts of sparks, and violent roars and vibrations echoed continuously.
"The false god in the temple, hand over the people!"
A sharp and ear-piercing roar hurt everyone's eardrums like thunder.
He actually spoke?
This made Lin Bai feel a little shocked, but then he was relieved.
According to what the statue woman said, this corpse old demon is a different kind of enlightenment.
He was originally a person with great supernatural powers during his lifetime. After his soul disappeared, his body fell into the burial ground. After countless years and months, he was influenced by the evil spirit, which gave him spiritual wisdom.
After countless years of baptism, I have achieved the level of cultivation I have today.
For such alternatively enlightened creatures, their lifespan cannot be measured by human lifespan.
Judging from the current total number of living beings in the demon world and the spiritual world, the human race has the shortest lifespan among all living groups.
Mortals only have a hundred years to live. Even those who cultivate the divine elixir can only live for three to five hundred years. Only those who have reached the Tao realm can live for more than a thousand years.
As for warriors at the Taiyi Daoguo and Daluo Daoguo realms, most of their longevity is only five thousand to ten thousand years.
Compared with other groups of creatures, the lifespan of the human race is pitifully short.
For example, the demon clan...the lifespan of the demon clan is at least dozens of times that of the human clan.
When ordinary demons embark on cultivation, their lifespan almost doubles. It is easy for a demon in the divine elixir realm to live for more than a thousand years.
For example, the lifespan of a demon race that has reached the realm of Taiyi Daoguo and Daluo Daoguo is ridiculously long, with a guaranteed lifespan of more than 50,000 years.
Especially within the Monster Clan, certain Monster Clan groups have unique advantages in longevity. For example, the "Turtle Clan" is recognized as the group with the longest lifespan within the Monster Clan.
After the Demon Clan and the Turtle Clan have cultivated to the Taiyi Daoguo realm, their lifespans are basically over 100,000 years.
Therefore, there are legends in the demon world... that there is a certain ancestor-level existence in the turtle clan who has survived since ancient times. He has even experienced the wars between the human race and the demon clan, and even experienced the righteous path in the spiritual world. A battle with demons.
Apart from the Monster Clan, the ethnic group with the longest lifespan in all the worlds belongs to the Giant God Clan.
The Titans seem to be the darlings of this world. They almost possess strength and longevity far beyond that of other ethnic groups. It is easy for an adult Titan to live for hundreds of thousands of years.
Apart from the top groups of living beings in the universe, the ones with the longest lifespan are those living beings who have attained enlightenment in a different way, such as the corpse old demon in front of them.
He became enlightened through a corpse. He has no soul in his body, is not suppressed by the six paths of reincarnation, has no sea of consciousness in his body, and is not under the jurisdiction of heaven.
In addition, there are other examples of alternative enlightenment.
For example...it is said that an ancestor of the Demon Puppet Sect, one of the most prosperous sects in the Western Region of the Demon Realm, became enlightened as a humanoid puppet.
He was originally the top puppet refined by the founder of the Demon Puppet Sect. After the ancestor was enthroned, this puppet was enshrined in the ancestral temple by the Demon Puppet Sect and received incense and worship for endless years. Finally, he was born. A little bit of wisdom.
After endless years of practice, he was able to achieve enlightenment in a different way.
For example... the female idol in the temple can also be called an alternative form of enlightenment.
Alternative enlightened beings all have a very distinctive feature, that is, they basically have endless lifespan.
But there is also a huge drawback.
That is, alternative enlightenment is not that easy.
Whether it is the puppet enlightenment of the Demon Puppet Sect or the corpse old demon in the sea of fog, the years they have experienced are almost difficult to measure with numerical years and months.
No one knows whether it took them hundreds of thousands of years, millions of years, or tens of millions of years to achieve an alternative level of enlightenment.
In such a long period of time, any slight change may cause all their practice to be wasted.
"Hand the people over!"
Since the corpse old demon belongs to a different kind of enlightenment, it is reasonable for him to have spiritual intelligence and be able to speak.
The statue woman did not immediately answer the corpse old demon's words, but said to Lin Bai: "Although he is only the incarnation of the corpse aura of the corpse old demon, he is after all a being at the level of a great supernatural power, and I am not his opponent!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai had already guessed the idol woman's decision.
If the corpse old demon insists on capturing Lin Bai and Leng Leng Swordsman, the idol woman will definitely not be able to stop the corpse old demon.
Since there is no way to stop it, the statue woman cannot just watch the temple be destroyed in the hands of the corpse old demon. If the temple is destroyed, then the stone walls in the temple and the female demon in that space will also be destroyed.
Once the temple is destroyed, the succubus will disappear completely.
The temple is similar to the body of the female idol. If the temple is destroyed, the female idol will also fly into ashes and be annihilated.
"I can understand!"
Lin Bai nodded, not embarrassing the idol woman.
After all, the other party has protected them until the last moment. In the face of a life-and-death disaster, even if the idol woman wants to hand over Lin Bai and the cold swordsman, Lin Bai doesn't think there is anything wrong.
If it were Lin Bai, he would do the same thing.
"Feel sorry."
The statue woman's tone was gentle for a moment, and she spoke to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai could tell that this idol woman had some kind thoughts in her heart, and was not the kind of evil deity who would commit heinous crimes.
Crash... The claws transformed by the mist of the corpse old demon drew a series of firelights on the dim light curtain of the temple. The light curtain was about to be unable to withstand it!
