Invincible Divine Sword - Chapter 364

Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Elf King City

So, Yang Xiaotian and his companions hurriedly flew towards the Red Fire Ancient Kingdom.

A day later, the group arrived at the border of the Red Fire Ancient Kingdom.

As they entered the border city of the Red Fire territory, they saw nothing but ruins and broken walls, blood and dismembered limbs everywhere; the entire city was devoid of life.

In the space around them, a strong aura of death lingered.

“This city has completely turned into a dead city!” the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor said gravely.

The Demon Ape, Iceflame Kylin, and Azure Thunder Python all felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

A dead city meant that all the people of the city had been killed by the Undying Wraiths and had then all turned into Undying Wraiths themselves.

The spread of these Undying Wraiths to the surrounding cities was a severe concern.

“Let’s go!” Yang Xiaotian headed off flying in the forward direction.

After flying for a while, he spotted a Death Spirit.

Yang Xiaotian threw a punch, transforming his fist into a dragon, which sent the Death Spirit flying away.

But the Death Spirit was merely flung away and, after a pause, rose to its feet again.

“These Undying Wraiths are very hard to kill. Once their bodies are invaded by the Undying Death Qi, their entire bodies are tempered by the Qi, making them impervious to destruction; it’s very hard to shatter them,” said the Demon Ape. “To kill it, you must decapitate it.”

“But ordinary Divine Weapons can’t even behead them.”

Yang Xiaotian’s punch, now, could shatter a mountain, yet it could not crush a Death Spirit, which showed the sturdiness of the bones of these spirits, and hence, ordinary Divine Weapons could not behead them.

Not to mention Innate Spirit Instruments, many treasured artifacts and even Imperial Artifacts likely couldn’t breach their defenses.

Yang Xiaotian drew the Burying Heaven Sword and decapitated the Death Spirit before him with one slash.

Looking at the severed head of the Death Spirit before him, Yang Xiaotian’s mood grew even heavier.

If he did not have the Burying Heaven Sword, these Heavenly Sword Divine Swords, killing these Death Spirits would be difficult, not to mention for the ordinary Martial Emperors.

Yang Xiaotian continued to fly onward.

Whenever he encountered a Death Spirit, Yang Xiaotian would directly behead it with a single sword slash.

As he advanced, the number of Death Spirits increased.

The Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor and his companions struck out, directly exploding these Death Spirits.

When Yang Xiaotian arrived at another city, he saw that within the whole city, there were only Death Spirits as far as the eye could see!

These Death Spirits, emitting a foul stench from their bodies and an overwhelming aura of death, formed terrifying clouds of Death Spirits in the high sky. The wailing sound from the mouths of a million Death Spirits could be heard for miles, sending chills down one’s spine.

“Kill!” Gazing at the endless horde of Death Spirits, Yang Xiaotian shouted fiercely, powering up eleven Sword Heart forces, his Sword Qi sweeping across all directions, cutting swathes through them.

In an instant, swathes of Death Spirits were knocked flying.

The Demon Ape slapped down with a palm strike, like the weight of a mountain crushing down.

The Iceflame Kylin, Azure Thunder Python, and Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor attacked at the same time.

Suddenly, a massive tremor shook the heavens.

Under the world-shattering power of the four, the entire city was pulverized to dust.

The destructive power of the four continued to sweep across unstoppable.

The earth trembled for miles on end.

Dust and sand billowed.

Like a terrifying dust storm, it continued unceasingly.

Witnessing the destructive power of the Demon Ape and the others, Yang Xiaotian was shocked. This was the power that peerless experts should possess.

When would he ever have such peerless power?

Seeing the expression on Yang Xiaotian’s face, the Demon Ape said, “Young Master need not envy us. With your talent, it’s possible that in a few decades you’ll break through to the Divine Spirit Realm.”

Decades?

Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath; even decades were too long.

He had to find a way to continuously increase the speed of his cultivation.

“However, although we can kill these Death Spirits, we are unable to eradicate this Undying Death Qi,” the Iceflame Kylin sighed.

Yang Xiaotian looked up to see that the cloud of Undying Death Qi hanging over the city of the dead had not dissipated.

Even the destructive powers of the four Demon Apes from just before were unable to destroy the Undying Death Qi.

“These Death Spirits are weak, which is why we could kill them so easily. If Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirits appeared, even we wouldn’t be able to kill them!” the Demon Ape said with a grave face.

If a Divine Spirit Realm powerhouse were to be invaded by the Undying Death Qi, they would become a Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirit.

A Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirit would be terrifyingly formidable.

They would be impossible to kill within the same realm.

“If a Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirit appears, then we would be in real trouble,” the Azure Thunder Python also said with a serious expression.

“By now, the Azure God Mansion should have heard about the emergence of the Undying Death Qi. I wonder when their army will be able to rush to the Hundred Clan Empire,” the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor said.

The Hundred Clan Empire was on the edge of the Azure God Continent, and the Azure God Mansion was too far away. Even if its army set out on flying ships, it would take more than a day or two to arrive.

“This time, Lord Azure Bear should take action, right?” the Iceflame Kylin remarked, eyes gleaming with excitement.

“With the emergence of the Undying Death Qi, Lord Azure Bear will definitely take action! When Lord Azure Bear descends upon Demon Ape Ridge, it will surely be a war that ends the world!” the Demon Ape said excitedly as well.

Lord Azure Bear taking action was a rarely-seen event; witnessing Lord Azure Bear in action was undoubtedly thrilling for the Demon Ape and others.

Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian and the others flew towards the next city.

The next city was still overrun with Death Spirits.

The four Demon Apes once again took action, directly blasting the entire city into dust.

After destroying more than a dozen cities in a row, they finally arrived at the fifteenth city. Outside the fifteenth city, Death Spirits were everywhere.

The Death Spirits swarmed around the city like a tide, sealing it off completely.

The city gates were tightly closed, and the Human Race Defenders on the city walls were stricken with panic.

Seeing that this city had not been breached, Yang Xiaotian’s heart relaxed a little.

Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor promptly slammed his palm down, exploding all the Death Spirits outside the city.

Yang Xiaotian and a few others landed on top of the city wall.

He saw that there were only a handful of soldiers on the wall, mostly remnants and veterans.

Yang Xiaotian frowned at this sight. After seizing the captain of the guards for questioning, he learned that the City Lord had long since fled, taking almost all the city’s troops with him and leaving behind just a few remnants and old soldiers to defend the city.

Due to the encirclement by Death Spirits, tens of thousands of civilians were unable to escape from the city.

Learning that the City Lord had fled without concern for the lives of tens of thousands of civilians, anger flared up in Yang Xiaotian’s heart.

“Actually, it’s not just our City Lord. I’ve heard that even His Majesty the King of Red Fire Country has already fled with his wives, daughters, and troops, heading to the Human Emperor City!” the captain of the guards cried out.

The Human Emperor was indeed the sovereign of the Human Race within the Hundred Clan Empire.

“Has the Human Emperor not sent troops to Red Fire Country to exterminate the Death Spirits?” Yang Xiaotian asked gravely.

“No!” the captain of the guards shook his head, his voice filled with sorrow. “The Human Emperor doesn’t care about our life or death, and won’t care at all. I heard that a while ago, the Elf Queen was grievously wounded by a Human Race powerhouse, and in her fury, she slapped the Human Emperor half to death.”

Yang Xiaotian’s expression darkened.

It was that Elf Queen Xi Yuandong again!

“To the Elf King City!” Yang Xiaotian’s eyes blazed with fire and he immediately soared into the sky, speeding towards the Elf King City with the Demon Apes.

Just as Yang Xiaotian was flying towards the Elf King City, suddenly, a colossal Bone Mountain flew out from the depths of Demon Ape Ridge. The young man who had been cultivating the Undying God Canon, driving the immense Bone Mountain, left Demon Ape Ridge and sped towards the Elf King City as well.
