Chapter 318: Chapter 318 The Great Battle At The Violet Demon Palace
“Good, then I will head over to the heavenly palace first,” s.h.i.+ Shenzong said softly. After that, he turned into a stream of sword light and disappeared into the horizon.
The reappearance of the Sword Saint would shake the world for sure.
s.h.i.+ Haiming looked up and looked fervent.
“Ten-thousand Swords Divine Mountain is finally going to rise in power!” He mumbled to himself.
Ten-thousand Swords Divine Mountain had been a Sanctum for the Sword’s Way in the past.
After waning for ten millenniums, it was time to rise in power again.
He turned to look at the disciples beneath him and smiled with relief.
These children are the future of Ten-thousand Swords Divine Mountain.
…
After traveling for ten days.
Zhou Xuanji and Xian Xianghua finally reached the east coast of the Northern Wilderness Region.
The two of them stood on the beach as seawater washed over their boots.
Zhou Xuanji wore an elegant blue s.h.i.+rt and did not get wet by the seawater. He looked at the horizon and asked, “Where is that palace?”
“About more than a hundred miles ahead of us. However, we need to wait for one more person. He was the one who found the palace.”
Zhou Xuanji was curious. Who was so free to explore the deep sea?
In the Northern Wilderness Region, both demons and humans had great fear for the deep sea.
Fifteen minutes later.
A ball of demonic Qi flew over from the horizon and landed before the both of them.
After the demonic Qi dissipated, a wickedly charming man appeared.
The white-haired and black-robed man had a handsome face, albeit with loose skin and wrinkles. A wicked aura emanated from between his brows, and he raised the corner of his lips, giving off a sense of ruthlessness.
Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal!
Zhou Xuanji squinted his eyes. There were only a few Great Tribulation Scattered Immortals currently, and Tanhua Sect only had Xian Xianghua herself.
Could he be…
“Young man, it’s been a long time.”
The black-robed man grinned. That grin could make people s.h.i.+ver in fear.
Zhou Xuanji maintained his calmness and said, “Diablo, you have revived indeed. I did not expect you to have the power of a First Tribulation Scattered Immortal when you have just been revived.”
This person was the Ancient Diablo, the arch-rival of the Hegemon Sword Emperor.
The Diablo shook his head and said, “You should know the power of the Celestial Devil Rebirth Technique. If not for the fact that I’ve been dead for too long, ten years was enough for me to recover to the cultivation of a Second Tribulation Scattered Immortal.”
Zhou Xuanji became curious suddenly. How powerful was this guy when he was at his peak?
“That palace is called Violet Demon Palace. It has been around for a long time. Back then, I was badly injured by Tian and fell into the deep sea. If not for that, I would not have uncovered its existence,” the Diablo said faintly. He was no match for the guarding demon at the Violet Demon Palace after sustaining a severe injury.
Or else he could have boosted his cultivation tremendously with the help of the Colorful Celestial Fruits, even to the point of defeating the Hegemon Sword Emperor.
“Let’s go. If the three of us work together, we can defeat that demon for sure,” the Diablo looked at Zhou Xuanji and chuckled. That expression was like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law. The more he looked at Zhou Xuanji, the more pleased he was.
Under his guidance, Zhou Xuanji and Xian Xianghua flew toward the sea horizon.
A while later.
The three plunged into the sea as they resisted the water with their spirit energy.
They were high in cultivation and didn’t fear the water pressure.
After diving for a hundred meters, there was no light. Fortunately, they could continue to dive by sensing their surroundings with their minds.
Ten thousand meters was not very far for them.
Soon, Zhou Xuanji could see a ball of faint light underneath.
After getting closer, he realized that it was the Violet Demon Palace. All kinds of jewels were embedded on the palace walls and roofs, emanating a radiance that illuminated the underwater s.p.a.ce.
The Violet Demon Palace was as tall as three hundred meters and had two levels, looking majestic. Two demon statues stood in front of the main gate. Both statues had three heads and six arms each with bronze and tusked faces, looking horrifying.
“That demon’s cultivation might have already surpa.s.sed Third Tribulation Scattered immortal stage. Even if he did not, he should be at the pinnacle of Third Tribulation Scattered immortals. We must be careful,” the Diablo reminded. He was worried that Zhou Xuanji might underestimate their enemy.
“It’s not that serious. He can leave Violet Demon Palace. If we cannot defeat him, we can at least retreat.” Xian Xianghua said.
Zhou Xuanji heard her and was greatly motivated to fight.
This demon was a good opportunity to prove his power.
He took out the Heavenly Retribution Martial Punishment and G.o.d Ghost Howl straightaway and said, “I will go first. If I can’t fight him alone, then you guys help!”
After that, he came to the main gate of the Violet Demon Palace swiftly.
The Diablo looked at Xian Xianghua and asked with great interest, “How powerful is this kid?”
He sighed in amazement in his heart. She was the daughter of This King indeed, having such a good taste.
He heard that Xian Xianghua had fixed her sight on Zhou Xuanji even before this brat entered the Northern Wilderness’ Top Hundred. She even offered the Vice Sect Lord’s position to him.
“I’m not sure, but he’s definitely more powerful than you.”
Facing the Diablo, Xian Xianghua seemed indifferent. The Diablo was not angry either but looked toward Zhou Xuanji.
Zhou Xuanji kicked open the gate and started cursing straightaway.
His body turned golden and was enveloped by heavenly lightning, and a purple Taichi diagram levitated in front of his forehead.
Golden Invincibility and World Reincarnation!
Under such conditions, he was fearless against sneaky a.s.saults.
He walked into Violet Demon Palace and saw that there were rows of faint green lights, illuminating the path to the inner regions of the palace. It was pitch dark on both sides as though countless ferocious ghosts were hiding. Ordinary people would surely not dare to walk in.
Interestingly, there was no seawater inside the palace and was filled with spiritual Qi.
The Ancient G.o.d Sword appeared above Zhou Xuanji’s head, and the souls of eight powerhouses appeared like shadows.
Emperor Hanlan, Sabre Monarch Donghai, Demon Lord Ruyuan, Emperor Canghai, Emperor Zhao, Dao Lord Xuantian, and Liu Wuji!
Emperor Zhao, Dao Lord Xuantian, and Liu Wuji were the souls that awoke during the decade, while Emperor Hanlan still hadn’t woken up. No matter how Zhou Xuanji called for him, he did not reply as though he had lost his sentience.
Shwoooos.h.!.+
An air-piercing sound came suddenly. Next, Zhou Xuanji felt that he was knocked by something and had to take a few steps back.
“Roooarrr—”
A bellowing roar came from the darkness as though it was from the underworld.
Zhou Xuanji dispelled the darkness with Heavenly Lights straightaway and saw the demon’s true appearance.
The demon had a humanoid body that was about ten meters tall and was dressed in old bronze armor. His white hair was like dried gra.s.s, and his face was extremely pale. The two tusks on the face were like daggers, and no pupils could be seen from the eyes only blood vessels and whites.
His body was bent forward, and the nails on his tiger-like claws were s.h.i.+ning coldly.
He looked at Zhou Xuanji furiously. An extreme sense of hatred and rage could be seen in his eyes.
“Violet Demon Palace is a forbidden area. Human intruders shall be killed without mercy!”
The white-haired demon bellowed and charged toward Zhou Xuanji again.
He was so swift that Zhou Xuanji’s eyes could not even catch up. Nevertheless, Zhou Xuanji still turned his body and swung his sword by instinct.
Baaam!
Zhou Xuanji flew away from a slam. The clothing at his chest area was torn, and his golden chest was scratched.
World Reincarnation could reflect spirit energy and demonic energy, but this guy hurt him even without activating any demonic energy.
In the cultivation world, even physical cultivators would channel spirit energy into their fists and kicks to boost their destructive power. But this demon did things the opposite way.
However, it was not the first time that Zhou Xuanji had encountered such enemies. He activated Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha immediately.
The gigantic Thousand Hand Sword Buddha hacked at the white-haired demon with all its swords.
However, the demon managed to evade all Thousand Hand Sword Buddha’s attacks with his swiftness.
He leaped up and created hundreds of duplicates that charged at Zhou Xuanji from all directions.
“The Tianxia Map! The Human Emperor will die for sure!”
He roared furiously, which shocked Zhou Xuanji.
