Upper Pure Sect’s former site.

At the foot of the mountain, the battlefield of the beast tide.

Now Liang Sheng hesitates at this moment, should he use his lifespan to perform the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique and curse the Demon Saint to death?

But doing so might consume a significant portion of his lifespan, which is the drawback of the curse killing technique, as the difference in realms between the two is too vast.

For instance, is the Blood Glyph Cursed Sky Array set up by the Demon Saint in front of him powerful?

Of course, it’s incredibly powerful!

However, this curse of lifespan technique itself has its shortcomings. The main requirement of the array is for the person leading the curse to consume their own lifespan.

Otherwise, the remaining lifespan of the seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs who were cursed would merely add up to a few thousand years. Why would the Demon Saint need to plot the fate of nearly a million cultivators and demonic beasts as offerings for the heavens and launch the Curse Array?

It’s because this Curse Array, if merely using the flesh and blood of others as the offering, has a pitifully low proportion of cursing their lifespan.

Didn’t you see that even with so many cultivators and demonic beasts as sacrifices, the Demon Saint still lost six thousand years of life, and now only has ten years of life left?

The situation can also be said that if the person presiding over the array has insufficient lifespan or the difference in cultivation level between the presiding person and the one cursed is too great, the curse would likely have no effect regardless of how many cultivators and demonic beasts are used as sacrifices.

It’s precisely because of this that the Demon Saint previously tried to delay time, secretly collecting cultivators’ flesh and blood as sacrifices, only beginning the curse assassination when Chenyangzi and others had less than eight hundred years of life left.

That’s because the cost is the least this way. If everything went according to his plan, he could slowly orchestrate the events within a hundred years, curse and kill one by one, and ultimately have around a thousand years of life left.

Unfortunately, the Demon Saint’s plan initially went smoothly, and the first beast tide completely deceived the Sect Alliance.

Regrettably, the Dan Ding Sect later accidentally discovered the secret of the Back Mountain Hunting Ground, and then Yu Zhenzi launched the final battle ahead of schedule, forcing the Demon Saint to go all out.

Now, even though he has successfully cursed all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Sect Alliance, he only has ten years of life left.

Fortunately, he still has ten years, time enough for him to level this desolate area and establish a Demon Beast Kingdom.

At this moment on the battlefield, all the still-living cultivators and demonic beasts are unconscious, but the gaze of the Demon Saint is looking twenty miles away.

Xiang Chen, who had previously escaped, couldn’t escape his perception.

Upon a thought, the Demon Saint instantly disappeared from his original position, and then reappeared with the incapacitated Xiang Chen beneath his feet.

“A Golden Core Daoist of the Dan Ding Sect?”

Seeing Xiang Chen’s disciple attire, the Demon Saint didn’t waste any time, “Tell me where the eye of your sect’s Mountain-protecting Array is, and I will let you live; otherwise…”
