No hope for eternal life

Chapter 569 The Dark Devil's Backhand

"It's the inner demon that's causing trouble!" Yi Qianhuan guessed. Every inner demon likes to appear at the last moment of a cultivator's tribulation, because the cultivator at this time is often the weakest and easiest to deal with. So the appearance of Mu Changsheng's inner demon did not surprise him. Generally speaking, as long as one's mind is firm enough, it is almost impossible to be attacked by the inner demon.

"Inner demon!" Yi Qianhuan's casual words were like enlightenment to Xiao Niansheng. She finally understood what was wrong.

All along, Xiao Niansheng, Mu Changsheng and You Wushuang believed that the hidden hand left by the Black Demon on Mu Changsheng was the inner demon, but this belief was just a speculation with almost no evidence. What if the Black Demon left other hidden hands on Mu Changsheng?

Just when Xiao Niansheng had just figured it out, the Black Demon finally arrived at the Tianling Realm. And this time he did not come alone. Except for one Ninth Realm clone who died together with You Wuye in the Tianyou Realm, the Black Demon's two Ninth Realm clones descended on the Tianling Realm at the same time.

"Everyone." The two clones of the Black Demon spoke at the same time. He rarely showed a serious face and said in a very deterrent way: "I have always loved peace and don't like killing people, so I ask everyone to stand still and don't move. After Mu Changsheng's tribulation is over, everyone will naturally live in peace. But if you don't listen to my advice, then I will have no choice but to kill you!"

The appearance of the Black Demon and his words completely confirmed Xiao Niansheng's guess. Of course, she would not sit still. She quickly sent a message to Yi Qianhuan and You Poling: "Work together to deal with one of the Black Demon's clones and hold him back."

Yi Qianhuan's combat power combined with You Poling's innate magical power of teleportation can at least hold back the black demon for a while.

Next, just as Xiao Niansheng was about to gather others to fight against the other incarnation of the Black Demon, You Wushuang appeared, and she rushed towards the other incarnation of the Black Demon like crazy.

In this way, Xiao Niansheng didn't need to arrange other people to deal with the Black Demon. She immediately told Mo Lianyue her guess: "The Black Demon may have other tricks on Mu Changsheng. Go and take a look."

Among the people in the Tianling Realm, Mo Lianyue is the best at the way of spirit and soul. Xiao Niansheng can only place his hopes on Mo Lianyue at this time.

Mo Lianyue heard this, combined with the strange words of the Black Demon before, and agreed with it deeply. She did not dare to delay and hurried to Mu Changsheng and said: "The Black Demon may have a trick up his sleeve on you. Be careful first, I will help you check."

Mu Changsheng was startled when he heard this. He also heard what the Black Demon had just said and had a bad feeling.

The inner demon also heard Mo Lianyue's voice transmission. He roared at Mu Changsheng wildly and wantonly: "There is no need for Mo Lianyue to find any backup plan. Black Demon, show up quickly!"

The Inner Demon dared to show up even though he knew that Mu Changsheng had a way to deal with him. Of course, he had something to rely on, and his reliance was the Black Demon!

"Here it comes." A lazy voice sounded in Mu Changsheng's heart. The Black Demon actually had a soul clone lurking in Mu Changsheng's body!

Of course, the Black Demon's lurking was not a direct lurking, because it would be almost impossible to hide from the detection of You Wushuang and others.

The Black Demon's real method was to first leave an imperceptible trigger in Mu Changsheng's body, and then personally activate that trigger, thereby sending a soul clone into Mu Changsheng's body.

Before, Mu Changsheng intervened in the battle between Black Demon and Mo Lianyue. Black Demon insisted on launching a spiritual attack on Mu Changsheng in order to trigger this trigger.

Of course, even if that incident had not happened, the Black Demon would find a reason to attack Mu Changsheng.

As for the Black Demon's purpose, it is also very simple, that is to take over Mu Changsheng's body!

Taking over Mu Changsheng's body is the Black Demon's alternative plan besides taking over You Wuye's body!

Normally, it is impossible for the Black Demon to forcibly take over Mu Changsheng's body, but now it is different. Mu Changsheng's inner demon will help the Black Demon to take over his body.

Therefore, as soon as the Black Demon appeared, the Inner Demon tacitly joined forces with the Black Demon to deal with Mu Changsheng, causing Mu Changsheng, who was originally in the upper hand, to fall into a disadvantage in an instant!

"So that's how it is!" Mu Changsheng said gritting his teeth. He finally figured out everything. The Black Demon had been leading him to fight for the position of the Ten Realms just for the Black Demon himself. Everything he did was just to help the Black Demon!

The Black Demon used one of his clones to take over Mu Changsheng's body, and then achieved the Tenth Realm. In this way, even if the Black Demon encountered some unknown accident after reaching the Tenth Realm like the former Heavenly Emperor Lin Li, he would at most lose one of his clones.

This plan was so good that even Mu Changsheng, who was being calculated, had to admit it.

"Whatever demons are causing trouble in your heart are just a decoy. This is your real purpose." Mu Changsheng's soul was roaring, and at the same time he was struggling to resist.

“You have misunderstood. I am not as bad as you think. I just made an agreement with your inner demon. If he succeeds in taking over your body, he will still reach the tenth realm, and I will gain a fellow practitioner. Otherwise, if he fails, he will have to help me take over your body.” The Black Demon explained calmly.

"You still say I'm stupid, but I think you're even more stupid." Mu Changsheng turned to his inner demon and said, "Do you think you can benefit? From beginning to end, the only one who will benefit is the Black Demon. After the Black Demon possesses my body, you will be the next to die."

"I will indeed die." The inner demon was not panicked upon hearing this. Instead, he laughed triumphantly and said, "But the Black Demon will let me suppress you before I die. Then I will be the master and you will be the subordinate. The same will be true after death. Ha, you idiot, you don't know yet, after death we will go to the underworld, and I will be the master of this body, and you, never think of turning over again."

"Rather than living a miserable life with a fool like you, I might as well take a chance and become the master myself."

The reasons given by the inner demon were very sufficient, which shocked Mu Changsheng and made him unable to find any reasons to refute them.

But soon, Mu Changsheng was awakened by a pain. The black devil had begun to take over his body, and his soul was madly devouring Mu Changsheng's soul.

"Don't even think about it!" Mu Changsheng was so angry that his soul was trembling. He and the Black Demon were sworn enemies, so naturally he would not let the Black Demon take over his body no matter what, and would rather die than do that.

The next moment, Mu Changsheng's body and soul began to burn. He did this not only to increase his strength to fight against the Black Demon and the inner demon, but also to choose to self-destruct when things were hopeless and die together with the Black Demon, even though he knew that his mutual destruction could only kill one of the Black Demon's clones.

"Want to self-destruct." The Black Demon sneered. He had expected this a long time ago. With a flick of his finger, an invisible soul net instantly bound Mu Changsheng's soul, forcibly stopping Mu Changsheng's soul from self-destructing.

With the previous example of You Wuye, the Black Demon would of course find ways to prevent Mu Changsheng from self-destructing, so the first thing he did when he showed up was to weave a huge soul net specifically to bind Mu Changsheng's soul. With the full cooperation of the Inner Demon, Mu Changsheng was unable to self-destruct even if he wanted to!
