“The Divine Shadow Sword,” Yang Xiaotian murmured.
In those years, he had seen the records about the ten Divine Swords in the notes of Divine Sword Academy’s headmaster Cao Shun, so he was naturally familiar with the Divine Shadow Sword.
“After Divine Shadow Master died, the Divine Shadow Sword has remained without a master,” said the Demon Ape. “However, no one from Azure God Academy has been able to tame the Divine Shadow Sword for so many years.”
“Not to mention taming it, no one has even been able to find the Divine Shadow Sword, because it is invisible and intangible. Even if it’s right before your eyes, you simply cannot see it.”
The Iceflame Kylin chuckled, “Young Master possesses eleven Invincible Sword Hearts. If he were to enter Azure God Academy, he would definitely be able to find the Divine Shadow Sword.”
The Azure Thunder Python laughed as well, “I heard that the headmaster of the Azure God Academy has made a rule that whoever can tame the Divine Shadow Sword will become his Direct Disciple.”
The group began to discuss the Divine Shadow Sword.
Finally, the night passed.
Yang Xiaotian and the others continued on their journey.
As they moved deeper, they encountered many more dead creatures.
The Iceflame Kylin and the others blasted their way through.
One day later, they finally arrived in front of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb.
Before them, Yang Xiaotian and the others saw a colossal ancient tomb, somewhat shaped like a pyramid. The entire surface shimmered with golden light, but it also exuded an intensely strong aura of death.
This aura of death was invisible, but everyone could sense it.
At that time, the stone doors of the ancient tomb were tightly closed, and it would be half a day before they would open.
Yang Xiaotian and the others then concealed themselves, waiting for the tomb to open.
The group had just hidden themselves when they heard several swooshing sounds approaching from a distance. A few middle-aged men dressed in azure robes landed in front of the tomb.
On their chests, they bore an eye-catching “Fan” character.
Seeing the attire of the middle-aged men, the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor exclaimed in surprise, “The Fan Family of the Great Brahma Empire!”
The Great Brahma Empire was unquestionably one of the strongest empires on the Azure God Continent, and in terms of strength, it was not much weaker than the Myriad Gods Empire.
And the Fan Family was the number one family of the Great Brahma Empire, and also one of the oldest and most powerful families on the Azure God Continent.
Unexpectedly, the people from the Fan Family of the Great Brahma Empire had come for the opening of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb this time.
The experts from the Fan Family, brimming with divine might, were obviously Divine Spirit Realm masters. After arriving, they too concealed themselves, waiting for the opening of the Heavenly Tomb.
Not long after the people from the Great Brahma Empire’s Fan Family had arrived, another group of people came.
This group was exuding rolling auras of death.
“It’s the Yin Wind Sect from the Buddha Pagoda Empire!” the Immortal Demon Ancestor said in shock.
The Buddha Pagoda Empire, much like the Great Brahma Empire, was one of the several most powerful empires on the Azure God Continent. The Yin Wind Sect was one of the most powerful sects of the Buddha Pagoda Empire.
The Yin Wind Sect’s lineage traced back to the ancient Netherworld Demon Sect, and the founder of the Yin Wind Sect was an Elder from the ancient Netherworld Demon Sect.
Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brows.
The masters from the Fan Family and Yin Wind Sect had arrived; could they also be here for the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit and the Eternal Heavenly Coffin?
The Great Brahma Empire and Buddha Pagoda Empire were extremely far from the Eternal Heavenly Tomb. They would not travel millions of miles for ordinary treasures.
If they were here for the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit and the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, that would be quite troublesome.
After the masters from the Fan Family and Yin Wind Sect arrived, no other experts came.
Time passed.
Suddenly, the radiance of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb trembled, and the stone doors slowly opened.
Seeing the Eternal Heavenly Tomb finally opened, the people from the Yin Wind Sect rushed impatiently into the tomb.
Following them, the experts from the Fan Family also closely followed the Yin Wind Sect’s people into the tomb.
After waiting a while, seeing no one else entering the Heavenly Tomb, Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape flashed in.
Inside the Heavenly Tomb was another space, endless at a glance.
Yang Xiaotian discerned the direction and flew north.
Because the Dwarf Clan Leader, Man Fang, had said that someone had once seen a piece of Innate Divine Iron at the extreme north of the Heavenly Tomb, atop the Purple Cold Ice Peak, which was impossible for anyone to retrieve because no one could get close to the Purple Cold Ice Peak.
While others couldn’t enter the Purple Cold Ice Peak, for Yang Xiaotian, who possessed the Divine Flame, it wasn’t difficult.
The journey was uneventful.
He came across many Spiritual Medicines along the way, but Yang Xiaotian paid them no attention.
Now, he needed to rush to the Purple Cold Ice Peak with all his might because the Heavenly Tomb was only open for one day.
Over an hour later.
They entered the extreme northern region of the Heavenly Tomb.
Upon entering the northern region, the cold air was piercing, with purple snowflakes filling the sky.
The ground was covered with layers upon layers of purple ice.
Although it wasn’t the Purple Cold Ice, Yang Xiaotian and his companions still felt cold to the marrow, forcing Yang Xiaotian to invoke the power of the Earth Flame.
The further they flew forward, the stronger the cold air became. The purple snow gradually disappeared, but in its place came the purple cold wind. When the purple cold wind blew past, they all felt as if they were about to be frozen into ice sculptures.
The purple cold wind grew stronger with each gust.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.
With the protection of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, they arrived at the deepest part of the northern region.
There stood a towering Purple Cold Ice Peak in front of them, with Purple Cold Aura pervading the area. Around the ice peak, there were countless ice sculptures, evidently Sect Masters who had been frozen to death by the Purple Cold Aura.
Yang Xiaotian told the others to wait there for him while he flew up alone.
The closer he got to the Purple Cold Ice Peak, the more terrifying the Purple Cold Aura became. The Purple Cold Aura here was ten times stronger than the Purple Cold Aura from the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.
Fortunately, Yang Xiaotian had the Divine Flame; otherwise, relying solely on the Earth Flame, he probably wouldn’t have been able to reach the Purple Cold Ice Peak.
With the power of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, Yang Xiaotian made his way through the dense Purple Cold Aura and finally reached the summit of the Purple Cold Ice Peak, seeing its full extent.
At the summit of the Purple Cold Ice Peak, there was a human-head-sized piece of Innate Divine Iron lodged at the highest point.
Seeing that the Purple Cold Ice Peak indeed had Innate Divine Iron, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed. Such a large piece of Innate Divine Iron was completely sufficient for him to repair the Sword of Azure God and even have some left over.
Thereupon, Yang Xiaotian expanded the power of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire to its limit, stepping forward toward the Innate Divine Iron.
Under the incineration of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, the Purple Cold Ice that covered the surface of the Innate Divine Iron finally melted away completely.
Yang Xiaotian grabbed the Innate Divine Iron and stowed it into the Medicine Cauldron.
The moment he collected the Innate Divine Iron, he immediately retreated.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Because he sensed a terrifying cold air within the depths beneath the Purple Cold Ice Peak.
This cold air was so strong that even the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire couldn’t suppress it.
Indeed, just as Yang Xiaotian was retreating, suddenly, the entire Purple Cold Ice Peak exploded with a boom, like a volcano erupting. A horrifying blast of cold air burst forth from the base of the ice peak.
This blast of cold air was a dark purple, purple-dark to the point of causing one’s soul to tremble.
The terrifying cold air swept across heaven and earth.
Yang Xiaotian was shocked and, without a moment to spare, summoned the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire as well, with both Divine Fires guarding his body, he fled at full speed, while shouting, “Get away quickly!”
Hearing Yang Xiaotian’s urgent voice, the Demon Ape and the rest outside didn’t dare to hesitate and fled.
As Yang Xiaotian fled, the rolling dark purple cold air chased him like a tsunami, getting closer and closer.
