Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 357: Chapter 357 Sky Demon Princess

Aunt Jiang had just finished speaking when a massive wave of Undying Death Qi completely enveloped her, and she was nowhere to be seen.

“Aunt Jiang!” Lin Mei’er watched as Aunt Jiang was completely wrapped in the Undying Death Qi and cried out in anger and sorrow, her long sword slashing frantically at the Undying Death Qi.

But her strength had no effect on the Undying Death Qi, not to mention creating a split, there wasn’t even a fine crack.

“Aunt Jiang!” She wailed.

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

Upon seeing this, Lin Mei’er, filled with rage, struck with her sword and simultaneously attempted to flee outward.

However, the abundance and strength of the Undying Death Qi were simply too overwhelming, soon catching up and wrapping around her incessantly.

“Help!” Seeing the encroaching death qi, Lin Mei’er, forgetting her status as a princess, cried out in panic.

She swung her sword desperately, but she could not cut through the Undying Death Qi surrounding her at all.

Yang Xiaotian piloted the Abyssal Spaceship and from afar saw Lin Mei’er being continuously enveloped by the Undying Death Qi.

After hesitating for a moment, he still decided to reach out to save Lin Mei’er.

Had he not acted, Lin Mei’er would have perished.

“Take action to save her!” Yang Xiaotian commanded.

Immediately, the Demon Ape slammed down a mighty palm.

All at once, a giant palm appeared in the sky, its Demonic Qi rolling and roaring as it crashed down.

The death qi that had been wrapping around Lin Mei’er was scattered by the blow.

Aunt Jiang’s full-force sword strike had only managed to create a small crack, yet now the Demon Ape’s palm blast had directly exploded the death qi, eclipsing her power with its invincible might.

Lin Mei’er looked in astonishment at the giant covered in black fur.

“Get on the ship!” Yang Xiaotian shouted.

Awakened from her shock, Lin Mei’er flew aboard the ship.

Yang Xiaotian piloted the spaceship and tore through the sky to depart.

On the way, any Undying Death Qi that surged towards the spaceship was blasted away with a single palm from the Demon Ape.

It was as if the gods themselves were being defied, the death qi blocked and exploded!

Witnessing the power of the Demon Ape, Yang Xiaotian nodded inwardly, feeling his efforts to save the creature were not in vain.

Just then, the Red Fire Army from Red Fire King City and thousands of powerhouses from Black Cloud Mountain who arrived also saw the sky-high, terrifying death qi within Demon Ape Ridge.

“What kind of death qi is this? How can there be such terrifying death qi inside Demon Ape Ridge?” Marquis of Red Blood’s complexion drastically changed; as someone who had guarded Demon Ape Ridge for many years, this was his first time witnessing such horrifying death qi.

“It’s the Undying Death Qi!”

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

Suddenly, amidst the crowd, an old ancestor cried out in terror and fled frantically.

“What, the Undying Death Qi!” Both Marquis of Red Blood and the approaching Red Fire Army turned pale and retreated in shock.

“Retreat fast!” The experts from Black Cloud Mountain yelled in alarm, pulling Chen Jianzong with them as they rapidly retreated and flew away.

Upon hearing that it was the Undying Death Qi, all the practitioners from various sects who were about to enter Demon Ape Ridge for trials became so frightened they fled in panic.

In an instant, the outer area of Demon Ape Ridge was utterly deserted by all strong individuals.

Meanwhile, inside Demon Ape Ridge, death qi rolled and surged, drowning every nook and cranny.

Yang Xiaotian’s ship broke through the thick deathly aura and finally flew out of Demon Ape Ridge.

Although the Undying Death Qi did not escape from Demon Ridge, Yang Xiaotian did not dare to linger for a moment, continuing to speed forward with the ship.

Only after flying out of Red Fire Ancient Country did Yang Xiaotian finally stop.

Night had fallen.

Surrounded by wild mountains, Yang Xiaotian and his companions sat around the campfire.

Lin Mei’er, the prince of the Charm Clan, sat next to Yang Xiaotian, her face filled with sorrow, still grieving for Aunt Jiang’s death.

Suddenly, a figure descended, it was Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor, who had gone to gather information.

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

“The Sect Disciples who entered Demon Ape Ridge were almost completely devoured by the deathly aura,” Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor shook his head and added, “However, it’s strange that the Undying Death Qi has not broken out of Demon Ape Ridge.”

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

However, he knew that it was only a matter of time before the Undying Death Qi would escape Demon Ape Ridge, and the thought of the Undying Death Qi sweeping across the Azure God Continent weighed heavy on his heart.

“Right now, the people of Red Fire Ancient Country and the neighboring ancient countries are in a state of panic; those in the border cities are especially alarmed, fleeing in chaos, and it has descended into mayhem,” continued Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor. Suddenly, he shifted the topic, “By the way, young master, I’ve learned that the Sky Demon Princess has set up a martial challenge in Sky Demon City and is challenging the talented youths from all over!”

Yang Xiaotian asked in surprise, “Why?”

At this moment, Lin Mei’er spoke up, “Tian Wanqing is very belligerent, frequently challenging geniuses from various clans. Later, finding individual challenges too troublesome, she set up a martial platform to challenge the young talents from all over!”

“She did this a few years ago,” Lin Mei’er continued.

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 leader among them. In terms of talent and strength, she was much stronger than both Xi Luo and the current Lin Mei’er.

Tian Wanqing was born with the Mad Demon Bloodline, one of the strongest ancient bloodlines. Those with this bloodline are innately warlike, almost to the point of madness.

“The Sky Demon Princess has declared that whoever can defeat her will receive a billion low-grade Spirit Stones! A hundred supreme-grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pills! Moreover, the victor may pick a treasure from the Sky Demon Clan Treasure Vault,” Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor said. “As soon as the news spread, nearly all the talented individuals from the Hundred Clan Empire rushed towards Sky Demon City.”

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

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

A billion low-grade Spirit Stones as a reward was simply insane.

Many Supreme Sects couldn’t even gather a billion low-grade Spirit Stones if they sold everything they had, let alone the hundred supreme-grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pills and the opportunity to pick a treasure from the Sky Demon Clan vault.

Yang Xiaotian’s interest was piqued and he asked, “Can one really pick any treasure from the Sky Demon Clan vault?”

“Yes, young master,” 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 vault.”

Yang Xiaotian immediately stood up, “To the Sky Demon Clan!”

Now that the Undying Death Qi had emerged, it was even more urgent for him to repair the Sword of Azure God and to cultivate the fourteen Sword Hearts. Legend had it that once one cultivated fourteen Sword Hearts, they would possess unimaginable power.

Yang Xiaotian asked Lin Mei’er if she wanted to come along to the Sky Demon Clan, but she hesitated. She wanted to follow Yang Xiaotian to the Sky Demon Clan, but with Aunt Jiang dead and the emergence of the Undying Death Qi, she needed to return to the Charm Clan first.

Finally, she clenched her teeth and said, “Young master, go to the Sky Demon Clan first. I need to return to the Charm Clan before heading to the Sky Demon Clan. Lin Mei’er will definitely repay you for your kindness in saving me.”

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

Afterward, the group set off for the Sky Demon Clan. Since part of the journey was on the way, Lin Mei’er rode with Yang Xiaotian in his ship for a while before they parted.

It was daylight when Lin Mei’er and Yang Xiaotian separated.

Watching Yang Xiaotian’s departing figure, Lin Mei’er murmured, “Yang Xiaotian.” She etched the name deep in her heart and then sped off into the sky.
