Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Eternal Heavenly Coffin
Hearing that the Medicine Cauldron was now unable to kill the Undying Death God, Yang Xiaotian’s heart sank.
However, although the Medicine Cauldron was currently unable to kill the Undying Death God, as long as there was Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, it was possible to severely injure the Undying Death God.
Yang Xiaotian felt somewhat relieved.
“Young Master, the Undying Death God has fled into the Eternal Burial Ground, I’m afraid it’s also aiming for the Eternal Heavenly Tomb,” the Demon Ape said. “It will be very dangerous for you if you enter the Eternal Heavenly Tomb then.”
It was more than just dangerous.
Even if the Undying Death God was wounded by the Azure Bear, it was not someone that Demon Ape and the rest could contend with.
In the entire Azure God Continent, only the Azure Bear could suppress the Undying Death God.
“The Eternal Heavenly Tomb is opening, and I must go,” Yang Xiaotian said with determination.
To repair the Sword of Azure God, he still needed the last piece of Innate Divine Iron. This time, he had to enter the Eternal Heavenly Tomb. If he missed this chance, he would have to wait another year.
“The Eternal Heavenly Tomb contains the Eternal Heavenly Coffin. If it falls into the hands of the Undying Death God, we will have trouble,” the Iceflame Qilin said with a heavy heart.
“Yes, if the Undying Death God obtains the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, I’m afraid even Lord Azure Bear won’t be able to suppress him,” the Azure Thunder Python also said with a worried expression.
Yang Xiaotian remained silent.
He too had an understanding of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb. Enclosed within it was the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, a treasured heritage artifact of the ancient Netherworld Demon Sect, and one of the most sinister and terrifying Divine Artifacts of old.
Moreover, it was rumored that within the Eternal Heavenly Coffin lay one of the most powerful Ancient Ancestors of the Netherworld Demon Sect, an ancestor who had not truly died. If that being were to be controlled by the Undying Death God and turned into an Undying Wraith, it would be a true horror.
“However, within the Eternal Heavenly Tomb, there is the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit. If the Young Master could obtain it, perhaps it could elevate your vitality to an unimaginable level,” the Demon Ape said.
In the past, the Heavenly Dragon Sword God had entered the Eternal Heavenly Tomb and obtained the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit. His cultivation soared, and he developed an understanding of the Heavenly Dragon Sword Dao.
Yang Xiaotian nodded.
In fact, one of his goals for entering the Eternal Heavenly Tomb this time was to find the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit.
The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit is a divine medicine of Heaven and Earth with miraculous effects. It can not only enhance vitality but also improve cultivation, and such divine medicine comes without side effects.
If he could get the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit, it would be enough to train his vitality to an unparalleled realm.
In the following days, Yang Xiaotian spent his days consuming Life Essence Fluid and Sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water for cultivation.
At the same time, he had the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor and others gather information about the whereabouts of Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water and the top three Divine Flames.
Now, only the top three Divine Flames could suppress the Undying Death Qi.
So, he definitely had to find the top three Divine Flames.
Day after day…
Under the effects of the Life Essence Fluid and the Sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian’s cultivation and vitality improved at a divine speed.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed.
July arrived.
The sunshine became more scorching.
Yang Xiaotian was seated under the Life God Tree, his vitality boiling incessantly. His vitality continuously unfolded, already reaching a range of two thousand miles.
And at this moment, his strength had also broken through to the sixth realm of Martial Emperor.
Seeing the surging, scorching vitality around Yang Xiaotian that was fierce like the sun, the Demon Ape and the rest were unspeakably shocked.
In the past few months, nothing major happened in the Hundred Clan Empire. Since the last time the troops of the Azure God Mansion and the Azure Bear made their move, the Death Spirit army of the Elf Clan had been completely annihilated.
The Elf Clan’s dozen or so Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirits were also cleanly slain by the Mansion Master of the Azure God Mansion.
Although the Hundred Clan Empire still had some sporadic Death Spirits, each clan was completely capable of dealing with them.
However, ever since the Undying Death God had escaped into the Eternal Burial Ground, there had been no news.
Even Lord Azure Bear, who turned the Eternal Burial Ground upside down, couldn’t find any trace of the Undying Death God.
If the Undying Death God were not to die one day, the Azure God Continent could become a Mortal Purgatory at any time.
Seeing that the time to open the Eternal Heavenly Tomb was drawing near, Yang Xiaotian stopped his cultivation and then started heading towards the Eternal Burial Ground with the Demon Ape and a few others.
Ten days later.
When Yang Xiaotian and the others arrived at the Eternal Burial Ground, it was high noon.
But the Eternal Burial Ground was shrouded in gloom, and above the burial ground, a layer of faint grey mist obscured the sunlight.
Within the grey mist were Death Qi, corpse Qi, and toxic miasma. Martial arts practitioners with weak strength who entered the burial ground would inhale this grey mist and at the least be poisoned, damaging their internal organs, or at worst rot and die.
Yang Xiaotian and the others dispelled the mist and entered the burial ground. After entering, Yang Xiaotian wore his Divine Armor around the clock, after all, no one knew when the Undying Death God might suddenly appear.
Because the Undying Death God was lurking in the Eternal Burial Ground, the opening of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb did not see much human activity, and the entire burial ground was silent.
A glance revealed towering tombs with no one in sight.
“These people, they were all illustrious figures of the Hundred Clan Empire in their lifetimes,” the Demon Ape said as he looked at the countless tombs, “Millions of years have passed, and even the most powerful existences have become but a pile of white bones.”
Even beings as powerful as Divine Spirits, or those who surpassed Divine Spirits, could not live forever.
Suddenly, at that moment, a corpse flew out of a tomb, biting at the crowd.
These corpses, the product of some kind of mutation after the death of strong warriors, were not weak, but they were all directly exploded with a single palm slap by the group.
Although these corpses were strong, they were generally only at the Emperor Realm. Very few of the corpses were at the level of the Saint Realm.
They had lost count of how many tombs they had turned over as the sky gradually darkened.
At night, the creatures of the burial ground ran wild. There were still two days before the Eternal Heavenly Tomb would open, so the group found a relatively safe grove to rest for the night.
A fire would attract the creatures of death, so they didn’t make a fire, and instead sat on the ground drinking.
“Young master, in a few days, once you break through to the Martial Venerable realm, you could actually go and participate in the Azure God Academy’s assessment and join the Azure God Academy,” the Demon Ape suddenly spoke up.
“Join the Azure God Academy?” Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.
“Yes, with the young master’s talent, you could definitely pass the Azure God Academy’s assessment and join,” the Demon Ape said, “The Azure God Academy is established by the Azure God Mansion, and it’s the number one academy on the Azure God Continent, gathering almost all the most monstrous geniuses from the major empires of the Azure God Continent!”
“At the time, the Azure God Mansion established the Azure God Academy with the goal of selecting geniuses. Those who excel at the Azure God Academy can join the Azure God Mansion directly after graduation, without the need for further assessments.”
Yang Xiaotian’s heart stirred.
“However, one must be a Martial Venerable to participate in the Azure God Academy’s assessment,” the Demon Ape said.
Yang Xiaotian nodded.
With his current speed of cultivation, he might hope to break through to Martial Venerable within half a year.
Afterward, Yang Xiaotian learned from the Demon Ape that the Azure God Academy was in the Myriad Gods Empire, the first empire on the Azure God Continent.
“I don’t know if the Azure God Academy has Divine Flame, but I do know it has a Divine Sword,” the Demon Ape said, “The third-ranked Divine Shadow Sword is at the Azure God Academy.”
“The Divine Shadow Sword was the personal sword of the ancient deity Divine Shadow Master. It’s shadowless and formless, and kills imperceptibly, which is quite terrifying.”
