Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Netherworld Corpse River Cauldron

Yang Xiaotian and his companion quickly flew towards that ancient cave dwelling.

However, as they approached the cave dwelling, the Dark Dragon kept a watchful eye on the changes in the Corpse River, guarding against the terrifying beings that might strike from within.

Upon reaching the gates of the cave dwelling, they saw that the gates were tightly shut, branded with all manners of runes. Even after a million years, these runes still shimmered with light.

The entire cave dwelling was not forged from fine steel, but from massive beast bones that emitted an astonishing corpse qi.

The corpse qi surged, and within it were faintly audible wails of agony.

Clearly, this corpse qi had already gained sentience.

Yang Xiaotian was astonished. What sort of beast bones were these for their corpse qi to have gained sentience?

“These must be the bones of the Corpse Beasts from the Corpse River, slain by the Netherworld Grandmaster of yore. He then used their bones to forge this cave dwelling.” The Dark Dragon spoke gravely, “This sentient corpse qi is very troublesome.”

Even he said it was troublesome, which showed how fearsome this corpse qi was.

Yang Xiaotian tried to activate the power of the Eternal Divine Body, and threw his fists forward.

Instantly, the power of time pounded into the surging corpse qi.

A piercing, mournful scream erupted.

To Yang Xiaotian’s surprise, his power of time could only make the surging corpse qi fade slightly and could not completely assimilate it.

Moreover, Yang Xiaotian’s attack caused the once calm radiance of the cave dwelling to shake violently, and endless corpse qi burst forth, howling towards Yang Xiaotian and the Dark Dragon.

Alarmed, Yang Xiaotian and the Dark Dragon quickly retreated, only stopping once they reached the entrance to the underground. The outpouring of corpse qi from the cave dwelling then ceased.

No wonder the Netherworld Grandmaster’s dwelling had remained intact all this time. Even if one could enter this underground Corpse River, it would be exceedingly difficult to penetrate the Grandmaster’s dwelling.

Yang Xiaotian, left with no choice, asked the Dark Dragon to wait for him outside while Master Ding protected him with a light shield. Then he returned to the gates of the cave dwelling.

Yang Xiaotian placed his palms on the gates, trying to run the power of the Eternal Divine Body to see if he could assimilate the gates.

Yang Xiaotian was pleased to find that under the power of the Eternal Divine Body, the gates were slowly being assimilated. Although the process was slow, at this rate, the whole thing could be assimilated in no more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

While Yang Xiaotian was continuously assimilating the gates of the cave dwelling, the Undying Death God, Son Nether God Yan Ping, and others had also arrived at the great hall of the Netherworld Demon Sect.

The Undying Death God looked at the terrifying fist force that stretched to the horizon, and a ripple of emotion crossed his otherwise expressionless face.

“The once number one Demon Sect, to end up in such a state, is truly lamentable and regrettable!” Son Nether God Yan Ping, looking at the hall before him, also shared his sentiments.

The Netherworld Demon Sect was destroyed just as he had broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm.

When the Netherworld Demon Sect was annihilated, the news shocked the whole Azure God Continent.

“It’s just the way of the victor and the vanquished.” The Undying Death God’s eyes returned to their usual coldness as he continued to fly with the rest towards the Netherworld Forbidden Ground.

In the depths of the forbidden ground, the gates of the cave dwelling were finally assimilated under Yang Xiaotian’s power of time.

Seeing the huge hole in the cave dwelling’s gates, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed and dashed inside.

Inside the cave dwelling, the corpse qi was even more intense.

However, with Master Ding’s light shield for protection, Yang Xiaotian moved freely within the cave dwelling.

The interior space of the cave dwelling was larger than he had imagined.

Just the front hall alone was thousands of meters wide.

Yang Xiaotian walked around the front hall and did not find anything particularly useful, so he moved to the back courtyard.

In the back courtyard, there stood a towering tree that reached the sky.

This giant tree was entirely made of bones, even the branches were bones, and from the branches hung more than a dozen fruits.

These dozen or so fruits emitted an astonishing aura of death, yet their surfaces also shimmered with divine light.

“What is this?” Yang Xiaotian asked in bewilderment.

“The Death God Tree,” said Master Ding.

The Death God Tree!

The tree before his eyes was actually the Demon Sect’s treasured Death God Tree.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Master Ding, is there any way to take this Death God Tree?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

If the Death God Tree fell into the hands of the Undead Death God, the Undefeated Underworld God, and other such masters of the Demon Sect, then the power of the Undead Death God, the Undefeated Underworld God could be cultivated to an astonishing realm, so naturally, the Death God Tree could not be left behind.

“This Death God Tree, just like the previous Heavenly Dragon God Tree, is already connected to the entire cave’s power. It’s difficult to take it away,” Master Ding said, “To take it, you would need to use nine layers of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.”

Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brow.

“However, you need not worry, as no one else can possibly take this Death God Tree away either,” Master Ding said.

Yang Xiaotian nodded, leaped up, and picked off all the several Death God Fruits.

These several Death God Fruits contained terrifying death aura; although he could not refine them, taking them away for now might be of great use in the future.

After securing all the Divine Fruits, Yang Xiaotian tried to operate the power of the Eternal Divine Body to see if he could destroy the Death God Tree, but as soon as the power of his Eternal Divine Body touched the tree, it was dispelled by the force of the tree.

It appeared that the Death God Tree was already connected to the power of the cave, and with his current power, he could not destroy it.

Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to walk deeper inside, searching for a method to refine the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.

A while later, he came upon a palace.

Inside the palace, there were countless books.

Surprisingly, despite the books being eroded by corpse qi for many years, they were still intact.

Yang Xiaotian stepped forward and browsed through them roughly, which were all Divine Skills and Swordsmanship of the Netherworld Demon Sect, as well as numerous notes left by the Netherworld Grandmaster.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaotian took away all these books, intending to read them later when he returned.

Afterward, Yang Xiaotian found the Pill Refining Chamber of the Netherworld Grandmaster.

The Pill Refining Chamber housed a large cauldron emitting a deathly aura, with an imprint of a Corpse River on its body.

It seemed that this was one of the four great Divine Cauldrons of the Azure God Continent, the Netherworld Corpse River Cauldron.

Yang Xiaotian did not attempt to refine it, and directly took the Netherworld Corpse River Cauldron away.

Inside the Pill Refining Chamber, there were many Alchemy books, which Yang Xiaotian also moved out.

Yang Xiaotian continued to search for the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone within the cave dwelling.

His main purpose in entering the ruins of the Netherworld Demon Sect this time was for the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone.

However, after searching every corner of the cave dwelling, Yang Xiaotian still did not see the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone.

Could it be that the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone wasn’t here?

Just as Yang Xiaotian was puzzled, suddenly, a thunderous boom and the angry roar of the Dark Dragon came from outside the cave dwelling.

Yang Xiaotian flew towards the outside of the cave dwelling with urgency.

As soon as he flew out of the cave dwelling, he saw the figures of the Undying Death God, Yan Ping, the Son of Nether God, and others.

The Dark Dragon was being besieged by the Corpse Demon, the Blood Demon, the Evil Buddha, and the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God.

Since the Dark Dragon had not fully recovered its strength, and was being attacked by the four together, the Dark Dragon was forced to retreat step by step.

The Undying Death God and Yan Ping were observing the battle when they suddenly saw Yang Xiaotian flying out of the Netherworld Grandmaster’s cave dwelling; both of them were greatly startled.

“Yang Xiaotian!” the Undying Death God and Yan Ping exclaimed in unison.

Dammit!

How could they encounter this guy everywhere.

Seeing Yang Xiaotian, the Undying Death God felt the urge to tear up the Corpse River himself.

Hearing the exclamations of the Undying Death God and Yan Ping, the Corpse Demon and others who were besieging the Dark Dragon trembled in their hearts and stopped in fear.

“Master Ding!” Yang Xiaotian bellowed, his cry shaking the Corpse River.
