Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 659: Chapter 659: The End of Sword Ruins

The Kui Ox’s expression changed, about to speak when he suddenly saw a burst of golden light engulfing Yang Xiaotian’s entire body.

Under the envelopment of that golden light, the grand array prohibition of the Ancient Corpse Demon ancestors didn’t attack Yang Xiaotian.

That golden light seemed to directly filter through the Ancient Corpse Demon ancestor’s grand array prohibition.

The Kui Ox was stunned.

Seeing that he wasn’t attacked under the protection of Master Ding’s golden light, Yang Xiaotian completely relaxed and then flew toward the mountaintop.

Since he wasn’t worried about the grand array prohibition’s attack, Yang Xiaotian quickly arrived at the mountaintop.

There, sitting cross-legged at a certain spot on the mountaintop, was a tall figure.

Although the figure sitting there had no breath or vitality left, an immense dragon’s might still pervaded his being.

Without a doubt, this was the Great Dragon Venerable.

The corpse of the Great Dragon Venerable had not decomposed at all.

This illustrated the startling strength and the robustness of the body of the number one powerhouse of the Ancient Dragon Clan.

Even the most powerful Heavenly Gods would have their physical bodies rot away after ten million years.

However, the body of the Great Dragon Venerable was still as if alive.

Next to the Great Dragon Venerable was a Divine Sword, thrust into the ground.

Although the Divine Sword had not been unsheathed, Yang Xiaotian could still feel the astonishing power and Sword Qi it contained.

To Yang Xiaotian’s delight, there was a golden lingzhi not far from the Great Dragon Venerable.

The lingzhi was in the shape of a dragon, with the body of the lingzhi like the body of a dragon, and the dragon body had nine golden petals.

The entire lingzhi was emitting circles of golden Divine Light.

“Goodness, a ten-million-year-old Golden Dragon Jade Ganoderma!” exclaimed Master Ding upon seeing this jade ganoderma.

Indeed, a ten-million-year-grade Divine Medicine was growing beside the Great Dragon Venerable.

But it wasn’t a Blood Dragon Jade Ganoderma; it was a Golden Dragon Jade Ganoderma.

Yang Xiaotian was thrilled.

Being a Nine-Star Medicine God, of course, he understood the rarity and preciousness of a ten-million-year-grade Golden Dragon Jade Ganoderma.

With this ten-million-year-grade Golden Dragon Jade Ganoderma, once he had his breakthrough to the Divine Spirit realm and consumed it for cultivation, it could save him a great deal of arduous effort.

After his breakthrough to the first level of the Divine Spirit realm, even if he had the Destiny God Fruit and the four calamities heavenly-grade God-Breaking Pill to consume for cultivation, it would still take a hundred years to break through to the second level of the Divine Spirit realm.

But with this ten-million-year-grade Golden Dragon Jade Ganoderma, it would be different.

If he consumed this Golden Dragon Jade Ganoderma for cultivation, he could directly break through to the second level of the Divine Spirit realm.

In his excitement, Yang Xiaotian approached the Golden Dragon Jade Ganoderma and carefully excavated it from the ground, storing it inside the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron. Then, he came before the Great Dragon Venerable and collected the Great Dragon Divine Sword.

However, out of respect for the Great Dragon Venerable, Yang Xiaotian first kowtowed three times before taking the Great Dragon Divine Sword.

“Rest assured, predecessor Great Dragon, I will not tarnish the reputation of the Great Dragon Divine Sword,” he said.

At that moment, the Dragon Ring on the hand of the Great Dragon Venerable flashed with light, took flight, and landed in front of Yang Xiaotian.

Yang Xiaotian was taken aback. He once again bowed respectfully to the Great Dragon Venerable before securely taking the Dragon Ring and the Great Dragon Divine Sword. He then crafted a spirit coffin from the finest materials he had on him to encase the body of the Great Dragon Venerable, burying him on the spot to protect his body from the wind and rain.

After completing all this, Yang Xiaotian finally left the scene.

Yang Xiaotian felt emotional.

Who could have imagined that the Great Dragon Venerable, the number one powerhouse of the Ancient Dragon Clan, would be trapped in this place, to eternally rest here?

If even a powerhouse such as the Great Dragon Venerable could be trapped to death by the grand array of the Ancient Corpse Demon ancestor, one could imagine the terrifying strength of the Ancient Corpse Demon ancestor himself.

Yang Xiaotian quickly returned to the foot of the mountain, where he saw the Kui Ox.

The Kui Ox, anxiously awaiting, finally relaxed when he saw that Yang Xiaotian had descended safely.

“How did it go?” asked the Kui Ox.

“I’ve retrieved the Great Dragon Divine Sword,” Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, taking out the Great Dragon Divine Sword.

Looking at the Great Dragon Divine Sword, the Kui Ox asked, “And the Great Dragon Venerable?”

Yang Xiaotian shook his head, “The Great Dragon Venerable has fallen.”

Although he had anticipated it, the Kui Ox still couldn’t help feeling sentimental.

However, the Kui Ox did not inquire about the golden light on Yang Xiaotian’s body.

Afterward, Yang Xiaotian and the Kui Ox continued to move forward.

Once they passed the mountain peak where the Great Dragon Venerable was, it wasn’t long before they came across another vast plain.

Above the plain, there were similarly countless corpse demons.

And in the center of the plain, there was also a colossal mountain peak.

An astonishing demonic aura emanated from the mountain peak.

This astonishing demonic aura was intermixed with the Power of Bright.

Yang Xiaotian and the Kui Ox looked at each other, “Bright Night Sword Demon!”

Clearly, just like the Great Dragon Venerable, the Bright Night Sword Demon, in the midst of fierce battle, had triggered the Grand Array Prohibition of the Ancient Corpse Demon progenitors and became trapped within another mountain peak.

Yang Xiaotian looked at the opposing mountain peak, his heart racing.

If the Bright Night Sword Demon had fallen on the opposite peak, wouldn’t his Bright Night Demon Sword also be there?

Without saying another word, the Kui Ox transformed into his Sky-Supporting True Form and began to violently bombard the plain, leveling all the corpse demons before moving with Yang Xiaotian to the opposite mountain peak.

Yang Xiaotian flew up the mountain peak.

Protected by Master Ding’s golden light, he reached the summit.

There, seated at the top, was a young man.

The young man was handsome and exuded righteousness, showing no sign of being an ultimate demon.

Without a doubt, the young man was the Bright Night Sword Demon, one of the strongest beings of the Ancient Demon Race from ancient times.

Though the demonic aura around the Bright Night Sword Demon was astonishing, he was enveloped in a persisting Power of Bright.

It was said that the Bright Night Sword Demon practiced both demonic arts and the art of Bright, and had completely fused the two, possessing an ultimate demon body and a Divine Body of Light.

Next to the Bright Night Sword Demon was the Bright Night Demon Sword, one of the supreme Divine Swords of the Ancient Demon Race, forged from extremely rare Bright Divine Iron and Netherworld Demon Iron.

Yang Xiaotian bowed to the Bright Night Sword Demon, then approached and drew out the Bright Night Demon Sword.

However, seeing that the Bright Night Sword Demon’s Bright Divine Robe was not bad, Yang Xiaotian casually stripped off the Divine Robe and the Demon Ring from his hand.

After all, the Divine Robe and Demon Ring were of no use left there.

Given the Bright Night Sword Demon’s status, there must be plenty of treasures inside his Demon Ring.

Yang Xiaotian then constructed a spirit coffin and buried the Bright Night Sword Demon.

Only after that did Yang Xiaotian leave the mountain peak and continue forward with the Kui Ox.

However, Yang Xiaotian still had not detected any trace of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor or his master, Divine Master Hong Feng.

After several days, the energy of the corpse demons grew increasingly terrifying. Even the Kui Ox, the Heavenly Beast King, found it difficult to withstand this dreadful energy.

The two could only rely on Master Ding’s golden light for protection as they continued their journey.

As they reached the deepest part of the Sword Ruins, the Grand Array Prohibition of the Ancient Corpse Demon progenitors grew stronger and more numerous, permeating the entire space. Without Master Ding, they would have been unable to proceed.

Another half-month passed, and the two finally arrived at the end of the Sword Ruins.

At the end of the Sword Ruins stood an immensely large Demon Palace.

Presumably, this was the palace where the Ancient Corpse Demon progenitor used to cultivate.

Looking at the colossal Demon Palace before him, Yang Xiaotian had a hunch that the disappearance of both the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and his master, Divine Master Hong Feng, was related to this Demon Palace.

“Behind this Demon Palace is a spatial entrance and exit,” Master Ding’s voice sounded at that moment.
