Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 623: Chapter 623 Scorched Tree Roots

Yang Xiaotian’s heart skipped a beat.

He immediately saw more than a dozen disciples participating in the second round frantically fleeing, and behind them, tens of thousands of experts from the Jiuyou Demon Clan were in hot pursuit!

All the experts from the Jiuyou Demon Clan numbered in tens of thousands, and they were all of the Divine Spirit Realm!

Moreover, many of them were at the seventh and eighth level of Divine Spirit!

“This kid is mine, as for the others, you divide them up,” one of the Jiuyou Demon Clan’s eighth-level experts said, pointing at a disciple of Heavenly Monarch Yan and laughed heinously.

“Let’s not kill them just yet!”

“Capture them all and use various methods to ‘treat’ them to a good time!”

The faces of several disciples of Heavenly Monarch Yan changed drastically.

The Jiuyou Demon Clan’s methods were brutal; if they fell into their hands, their fate would be worse than death.

By then, even wishing for death would be a luxury.

The disciples of Heavenly Monarch Yan, including Chen Qiming, felt desperation, and they fled with all their might.

But no matter what techniques they used, they simply could not shake off the Jiuyou Demon Clan experts trailing behind them.

Watching Chen Qiming and the others frantically fade into the distance, Yang Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, then continued flying towards the palaces ahead.

He soon arrived at the largest palace.

Inside the palace, the lights were bright.

The leader of the Jiuyou Demon Clan, Su Yang, looked at the assembly of tenth-level Divine Spirit old ancestors in the great hall and pondered, “This place might have been exposed; everyone, be ready to retreat at any moment!”

The appearance of Heavenly Monarch Yan’s disciples made Su Yang wary.

“Forget about the superior and top-grade Spirit Stones in the treasury, just collect the Holy Spirit Stones,” Su Yang pondered. “Make sure to take those seventh-level Tribulation Thunder Waters with us.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian first felt stunned, then was filled with joy.

The Jiuyou Demon Clan’s treasury contained seventh-level Tribulation Thunder Water?

This was an unexpected delight.

Over the years, he had been ingesting the sixth-level Tribulation Thunder Water daily, and he was almost out. He planned to inquire about the whereabouts of Tribulation Thunder Water above the sixth level after the battle for ascension ended.

It’s just unknown how much seventh-level Tribulation Thunder Water the Jiuyou Demon Clan’s treasury had.

“Additionally, don’t forget about the Armor of Azure God; Elder Yan has always been looking for a true Divine Armor,” Su Yang said to one of the Jiuyou Demon Clan experts to his lower left.

The Armor of Azure God!

Yang Xiaotian felt a jolt in his heart.

He had obtained only the Sword of Azure God and the Hand of Azure God from the Lord of Azure God’s Azure God Suit; he was still missing the Armor of Azure God, the Helmet of Azure God, and the Boots of Azure God.

He had once asked Azure Bear, but even Azure Bear did not know the whereabouts of the Armor of Azure God, the Helmet of Azure God, and the Boots of Azure God.

Now, the Armor of Azure God was in the hands of the Jiuyou Demon Clan!

“Don’t worry, Master,” that Jiuyou Demon Clan expert from Su Yang’s lower left rose to his feet and said respectfully.

Afterward, Su Yang gave some important orders, instructing everyone to go out and prepare.

After Su Yang’s disciple exited the palace, he flew towards the Jiuyou Demon Clan’s treasury.

Yang Xiaotian followed behind, excited yet cautious.

After crossing over dozens of peaks, Su Yang’s disciple arrived at an inconspicuous mountain, and then he slipped into a cave hidden behind some underbrush.

After traveling through an extremely long tunnel, they finally arrived before a large iron gate.

Presumably, this was the treasury of the Jiuyou Demon Clan.

The individual took out a talisman, then embedded it into a hidden slot within the treasury, and instantly, the slot emitted bursts of light, and the great door of the treasury began to slowly open amidst its surges.

As the vault door swung open, the dazzling light from the various heavenly and earthly treasures inside was blinding.

However, Yang Xiaotian did not rush to act.

The vault was enormous, and it would take a considerable amount of time for him to locate Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water and the Armor of Azure God, so he might as well let his adversary find them for him.

Following the opening of the vault, Su Yang’s disciple flew towards the depths of the vault.

Afterward, he arrived at a jade cabinet full of jade vials and took all the vials from it.

These vials likely contained Elixirs and Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.

Immediately after that, the other party reached a secret chamber and opened it with a secret technique.

When the secret chamber opened, a Divine Armor was revealed inside.

Although Yang Xiaotian had not seen the Armor of Azure God before, he identified it at first glance as the Armor of Azure God.

Su Yang’s disciple then stored the Divine Armor inside his Space Divine Artifact.

Just as he turned to leave, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian made his move, with the Sword of Azure God in his hand striking out in an instant.

Since Yang Xiaotian struck from close range, and the opponent was merely at the fourth level of the Divine Spirit Realm, the Sword of Azure God in Yang Xiaotian’s hand pierced the other’s throat instantly, going straight in.

With eyes widened in shock, Su Yang’s disciple stared at Yang Xiaotian, and even as the Sword of Azure God was withdrawn, he still bore a face of astonishment, unable to believe what had happened.

Just as the adversary was about to fall, Yang Xiaotian steadied the body, searched and took the Space Divine Artifact from the corpse, and incinerated the body to ashes with a burst of Divine Flame.

Without hesitation, Yang Xiaotian collected all the holy-grade Spirit Stones within the vault.

As he was gathering the other heavenly and earthly treasures, his attention was drawn to a charred tree root.

What is this?

Yang Xiaotian looked at the half-meter-long charred root in front of him with surprise and doubt, thinking that it must have been struck by an extremely terrifying Tribulation Thunder to end up in such a state.

What kind of Divine Tree’s root could have resulted in heaven unleashing such terrifying Tribulation Thunder to destroy it?

In his bewilderment, Yang Xiaotian stored the charred root inside the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron.

He felt that the charred root had a remarkable origin, and decided to search for information or consult the Netherworld Ghost King and others when he returned to see if they knew anything about it.

After collecting many heavenly and earthly treasures, Yang Xiaotian did not bother with the superior or premium-grade Spirit Stones and left the vault. As soon as he left, he saw a large group of Jiuyou Demon Clan experts rushing towards him.

However, what relieved Yang Xiaotian was that the group did not surge into the vault but flew off in a certain direction ahead.

“If Lord Chen Ling and the others have discovered a Tian Family disciple and manage to capture him, it will be a significant achievement!”

In passing, Yang Xiaotian heard the Jiuyou Demon Clan experts mention.

A Tian Family disciple?

Yang Xiaotian’s mind stirred.

Could it be Tian Junheng?

Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian found a hidden spot, opened the jade vials one by one, and indeed found the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, though to his disappointment, there wasn’t much—only about thirty or forty vials’ worth.

However, even something as small as a mosquito leg was still flesh, so he carefully stowed away the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water and then inspected the Armor of Azure God.

On the surface, the Armor of Azure God appeared undamaged, but when Yang Xiaotian used the Blood Sacrifice Method to refine the armor, he discovered it had a crack just like the Sword of Azure God he had found earlier.

It seemed to have been struck by Supreme Fist Power.

Yang Xiaotian was speechless.

With the crack, the defensive power of the Armor of Azure God was significantly reduced.

Speechless though he was, Yang Xiaotian could only store the Armor of Azure God for now, as the crack would have to be fixed later.

After a moment, he soared into the sky and began to search for any solitary experts from the Jiuyou Demon Clan.

Just then, the Jiuyou Demon Clan leader Su Yang, feeling strange that his disciple had not returned, flew toward the vault.
