Invincible Divine Sword - Chapter 357

Chapter 357: Chapter 357 Sky Demon Princess
 

Aunt Jiang’s words had just ended when she was completely engulfed by the surging waves of Undying Death Qi, leaving no trace of her figure.

“Aunt Jiang!” Lin Mei’er looked at Aunt Jiang, completely shrouded in Undying Death Qi, and cried out in grief and rage, her sword slashing wildly at the Undying Death Qi.

But her strength had no effect upon the Undying Death Qi; not to mention making a fissure, there wasn’t even a scratch.

“Aunt Jiang!” she cried out.

At that moment, the Undying Death Qi crazily surged towards her.

Seeing this, Lin Mei’er furiously swung her sword, simultaneously trying to flee in flight.

But the Undying Death Qi was too numerous and too powerful. Soon, she was continually overtaken and wrapped by it.

“Help!” Looking at the encroaching death qi, Lin Mei’er, forgetting her princess status, screamed in panic.

She struck out with her sword in frenzy, but she simply couldn’t break through the surrounding Undying Death Qi.

From a distance, Yang Xiaotian, piloting the Abyssal Spaceship, had already spotted Lin Mei’er being wrapped continuously by the Undying Death Qi.

After a moment of hesitation, he decided to intervene and rescue Lin Mei’er.

If he didn’t act, Lin Mei’er would surely die.

“Rescue her!” Yang Xiaotian commanded.

The Demon Ape struck out with a fierce palm at once.

Immediately, a giant palm that blotted out the skies appeared, brimming with rolling Demonic Qi, and came crashing down fiercely.

The death qi that had been continuously enveloping Lin Mei’er was shattered by the force of the palm.

Just now, Aunt Jiang’s all-out strike with her sword had only managed to create a fissure, but now, a single palm from the Demon Ape burst the death qi apart, showcasing an invincible and overwhelming strength.

Lin Mei’er incredulously looked at the Demon Ape, this giant covered in black fur.

“Get on the ship!” Yang Xiaotian shouted.

Lin Mei’er snapped to her senses and leapt onto the flying ship.

Yang Xiaotian steered the spaceship away, breaking through the air.

Whenever they encountered Undying Death Qi rushing towards the ship on the way, the Demon Ape simply blasted it away with a palm.

It was as if gods or death qi blocked the way, all would be annihilated by the palm!

Seeing the might of the Demon Ape, Yang Xiaotian nodded to himself in approval; it wasn’t in vain that he had expended a great effort to rescue the Demon Ape.

At this moment, the Red Fire Army, rushing from Red Fire King City, and thousands of powerful beings from Black Cloud Mountain also witnessed the towering death qi from within Demon Ape Ridge.

“What kind of death qi is this? How can such terrifying death qi exist within Demon Ape Ridge?” The Marquis of Red Blood’s countenance changed dramatically, as he had never before seen such horrifying death qi during the many years he’d guarded the Demon Ape Ridge.

“It’s the Undying Death Qi!”

“The Undying Death Qi has emerged, run for your lives!”

Suddenly, among the crowd, an elder ancestor screamed in terror and fled frantically.

“What, Undying Death Qi!” The Marquis of Red Blood and the Red Fire Army that had arrived were all pale with shock and hastily retreated.

“Retreat quickly!” The masters from Black Cloud Mountain who had arrived also cried out in alarm, then quickly grabbed Chen Jianzong and retreated at high speed, flying away.

The moment the experts from various sects and clans, who were about to enter Demon Ape Ridge for trials, heard it was Undying Death Qi, they were all struck with panic and fled in terror.

In an instant, all the strong beings around the outer perimeter of Demon Ape Ridge had fled, leaving the place utterly deserted.

“`

And within Demon Ape Ridge, Undying Death Qi billowed and surged, engulfing every corner.

Yang Xiaotian’s flying ship broke through the layers of death energy and finally flew out of Demon Ape Ridge.

Although the Undying Death Qi did not burst out of Demon Ape Ridge, Yang Xiaotian did not dare linger for a moment, spurring the flying ship to continue its swift flight outward.

It was not until he had flown out of Red Fire Country that Yang Xiaotian finally came to a stop.

Night fell.

In the wilderness of desolate hills and ridges, Yang Xiaotian and a few others sat around a campfire.

Lin Mei’er, the Charm Clan prince, sat beside Yang Xiaotian, her face marred by sorrow, still mourning Aunt Jiang’s death.

Suddenly, a figure descended from above—it was the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor, who had gone out to gather information.

“How did it go?” Yang Xiaotian hurriedly asked.

“Almost all of the Sect Disciples who entered Demon Ape Ridge have been devoured by the death energy,” the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor shook his head and added, “But strangely, the Undying Death Qi did not burst out of Demon Ape Ridge.”

Hearing that the Undying Death Qi had not burst out of Demon Ape Ridge, Yang Xiaotian felt slightly relieved.

However, he knew that it was only a matter of time before the Undying Death Qi would burst out of Demon Ape Ridge, and the thought of the Undying Death Qi sweeping across the Azure God Continent in the future weighed heavily on Yang Xiaotian’s heart.

“The Red Fire Country and the surrounding ancient countries are panicking, and the people in the border cities are in a state of terror, fleeing in madness and chaos,” the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor said. Suddenly, he changed the subject: “By the way, young master, I’ve heard that the Sky Demon Princess has set up a martial challenge in Sky Demon City, to challenge the young talents of the world!”

Yang Xiaotian was surprised, “Why?”

Then, Lin Mei’er spoke up, “Tian Wanqing is very belligerent, often challenging the talents of various clans. Later, finding one-on-one challenges too troublesome, she set up a challenge stage to take on the talented youths from all over!”

“She did this a few years ago.”

Tian Wanqing was indeed the Sky Demon Princess.

The Sky Demon Princess was also one of the top ten prodigies of the Hundred Clan Empire, and even the foremost among them. In terms of talent and strength, she was far superior to Xi Luo and even Lin Mei’er present here.

Tian Wanqing possessed the innate Mad Demon Bloodline, one of the most powerful ancient bloodlines. Those born with this bloodline were innately belligerent, to the point of near madness.

“The Sky Demon Princess has declared that whoever defeats her will receive ten billion Lower Grade Spirit Stones! One hundred pieces of Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill! Moreover, one may choose any treasure from the Sky Demon Clan Treasure Vault,” the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor said, “As soon as this news was released, nearly every young talent of the Hundred Clan Empire rushed to Sky Demon City.”

“Even many talents from the Elf Clan have hurried to Sky Demon City.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Mei’er shook her head and said, “This crazy woman!”

The reward of ten billion Lower Grade Spirit Stones was simply too outrageous.

It was known that many Supreme Sects could not even scrape together ten billion Lower Grade Spirit Stones if they sold everything they owned, not to mention one hundred pieces of Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill, plus the ability to select a treasure from the Sky Demon Clan Treasure Vault.

A thought struck Yang Xiaotian, and he asked, “One may choose any treasure from the Sky Demon Clan Treasure Vault?”

“Yes, young master ,” the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor nodded, “I found out that the piece of Innate Divine Iron you’re looking for is in the Sky Demon Clan Treasure Vault.”

Yang Xiaotian immediately rose to his feet, “To the Sky Demon Clan!”

With the emergence of the Undying Death Qi, he felt an even greater urgency to repair the Sword of Azure God and cultivate the fourteen Sword Hearts as soon as possible. Legend had it that upon cultivating fourteen Sword Hearts, one would possess inconceivable power.

Yang Xiaotian asked Lin Mei’er if she wanted to join him in going to the Sky Demon Clan. Lin Mei’er hesitated. She wanted to follow Yang Xiaotian to the Sky Demon Clan, but with Aunt Jiang’s death and the emergence of the Undying Death Qi, she needed to return to the Charm Clan first.

In the end, she said through clenched teeth, “Young master, go ahead to the Sky Demon Clan. I need to return to the Charm Clan first and then I’ll head there. I don’t know your name, but Lin Mei’er will certainly repay you for your rescue in the future.”

Seeing that Lin Mei’er needed to go back to the Charm Clan, Yang Xiaotian nodded, “My name is Yang Xiaotian.”

Then, the group set off for the Sky Demon Clan. Since part of the journey was on the same path, Lin Mei’er rode on Yang Xiaotian’s flying ship to leave together.

Only after daybreak did Lin Mei’er and Yang Xiaotian part ways.

Watching Yang Xiaotian’s departing figure, Lin Mei’er murmured, “Yang Xiaotian.” She etched this name deep in her heart before soaring away into the sky.
