Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 629: Chapter 629: If You’re Not Dead, Of Course I Won’t Be

Meanwhile, the second Heavenly Emperor Seal condensed and merged into Yang Xiaotian’s brow.

As the two Heavenly Emperor Seals fused, the seal on Xiaotian’s brow shone even brighter.

Just as everyone was focused on Yang Xiaotian’s tribulation in the Heavenly Emperor Palace, with Tian Junheng and others watching, suddenly, a Heavenly Court Divine General came before Sword Heavenly Monarch with a panic-stricken, fearful expression: “My lord, something has happened!”

Something has happened!

Sword Heavenly Monarch saw the alarmed look on his subordinate’s face and felt a bad premonition: “What is it?”

“There has been an incident on Poison Fog Island. All of the Heavenly Court’s armies have lost contact!” The Divine General hurriedly reported.

Sword Heavenly Monarch, Heavenly Monarch Xiao, the ten great Heavenly Monarchs, and the gathered Divine Generals all changed their expressions.

During the second round of trials on Poison Fog Island, the Heavenly Court had already dispatched a million-strong army to guard the vicinity, ready to annihilate all the disciples of the Jiuyou Demon Clan on the island as soon as the trial ended.

And it was led by none other than Jiulong Divine General himself.

To have lost contact now?

Jiulong Divine General was the leader of the many Divine Generals of the Heavenly Court, with strength second only to the ten great Heavenly Monarchs; a formidable Heavenly God power.

And among the million-strong army stationed around Poison Fog Island, there were not only Jiulong Divine General but also more than a dozen other powerful Heavenly Gods.

Sword Heavenly Monarch immediately realized the gravity of the situation and without delay reported the matter to the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor.

The Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor, Yuan Wei, and Qi Tian Medicine God were shocked to learn of Jiulong Divine General and the disappearance of the million-strong Heavenly Court army.

“Your Majesty, I will now lead an army of one hundred million immediately to Poison Fog Island!” Sword Heavenly Monarch said solemnly.

The Great Beginning Emperor’s eyes deepened: “No, I shall go personally!”

All the Heavenly Monarchs were startled.

“Your Majesty, you mustn’t!” Sword Heavenly Monarch began to protest.

“If you go, it likely will be of no use,” the Great Beginning Emperor mused.

“Your Majesty, I will accompany you!” Yuan Wei spoke up from the side.

“Very well,” the Great Beginning Emperor did not refuse but then said to Sword Heavenly Monarch: “Continue the battle to ascend to godhood, and if there are any changes in the Heavenly Court, suppress them with full force!”

“As you command, Your Majesty!”

Immediately after, the Great Beginning Emperor opened a spatial passage to Poison Fog Island, and he and Yuan Wei stepped into the spatial passage and vanished before everyone’s eyes.

This time, the Great Beginning Emperor didn’t bring many people with him; only the two of them went.

Soon, they arrived at Poison Fog Island.

As expected, when they reached the spot where the million-strong Heavenly Court army was stationed, they saw corpses strewn across the battlefield, their blood staining the endless ground red.

Even the surrounding sea was dyed red with blood.

The Great Beginning Emperor’s expression darkened.

Even Yuan Wei clenched his fists tightly.

These were a million soldiers, all elite troops of the Heavenly Court!

Walking among the corpses, the Great Beginning Emperor said nothing, his body radiating an aura of murderous intent that made Heaven and Earth change color.

Suddenly, he stopped and walked towards Jiulong Divine General’s body in the distance.

Jiulong Divine General’s body was face down, back up. Approaching the corpse, the Great Beginning Emperor was about to turn it over when suddenly, the corpse’s eyes snapped open and a mouthful of countless poison needles shot out, aiming straight for the Great Beginning Emperor’s eyes.

These poison needles were made from the most toxic substances in the world, so deadly that even peak Heavenly God powerhouses would succumb to the venom upon contact.

As the enemy spat out poison needles, a hand violently lunged towards the Great Beginning Emperor’s heart.

The other hand aimed a punch at the Great Beginning Emperor’s throat.

Eyes, heart, and throat—all were among the most vulnerable parts of a human body.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack and its formidable power, Yuan Wei’s expression changed.

At that moment, a gigantic demonic hand stretched out from the void towards the Great Beginning Emperor.

And another figure plunged a sword into Yuan Wei’s back.

In this critical moment, the Great Beginning Emperor turned his head, narrowly avoiding the countless poison needles, while his entire body erupted in Divine Light like an eternal volcano exploding forth.

“`

Boom!

As his entire body exploded with Divine Light, heaven and earth shook, a terrifying power swept through all, causing the Boundless Sea Domain to rise into colossal waves thousands of feet high.

The Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor moved at an inconceivable speed, one palm striking towards the void Demon Hand and the other towards the Jiulong Divine General on the ground.

Almost as the Divine Light exploded around the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor, Yuan Wei’s body also burst apart with trillions of Sword Qi.

The sky and the earth were filled with Yuan Wei’s Sword Qi.

The shadowy figure that had been attacking Yuan Wei had a startled look on its face and hurriedly dodged backwards. As the figure retreated, it became blurred, merging completely with heaven and earth, appearing almost like a shadow.

Countless Sword Qi passed through it.

The Jiulong Divine General spun around, transforming into a streak of flowing light, avoiding the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor’s palm strike.

His own palm landed solidly on the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor’s heart.

With a thunderous roar.

The Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor’s palm struck the ground.

The ground sank from the impact.

The entire earth was blasted open, turning into nothingness, a bottomless pit.

While Yuan Wei’s trillions of Sword Qi slammed into distant islands and mountain peaks.

All the islands and mountains were pulverized into dust by the Sword Qi.

The huge Demon Hand in the void clashed head-on with the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor’s palm strike.

Amidst the shaking roars, countless shockwaves caused the surrounding sea region to explode.

In just an instant of their confrontation, this expanse of heaven and earth almost seemed to face apocalypse.

Having received a hit to his heart, the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor also took several steps back but his expression remained unchanged as he coldly looked at the Jiulong Divine General, “Who are you?!”

Clearly, the other party was not the Jiulong Divine General.

“Heh heh, Great Beginning old man, it’s been millions of years and you don’t recognize an old friend so soon?” chuckled the Jiulong Divine General as his appearance shifted rapidly, transforming into an old man shrouded in rolling Demonic Qi.

Upon seeing the old man, Yuan Wei’s expression changed: “Jiuyou Demon Venerable!”

The newcomer was indeed the former Clan Leader of the Jiuyou Demon Clan.

With a sinister laugh, the Jiuyou Demon Venerable said, “Boy, are you the disciple of the Immortal old man? The leading Sword God of the Sword God Hall now? You’ve trained the Immortal Sword Qi quite well.”

At that moment, in the void, emerged a colossal demonic creature as large as a mountain, with blood-red eyes and a mouth spewing endless scarlet Demonic Qi.

It was the mount of the Jiuyou Demon Venerable, the Blood Demon Beast.

The Blood Demon Beast’s strength was formidable, not weaker than the Jiuyou Demon Venerable, and it was one of the overlords of the Boundless Demon Domain.

Another highly skilled fighter attacking Yuan Wei also revealed their figure, engulfed in surging Demonic Qi, holding a blood-red Demon Sword in hand.

“Blood Prison Sword Demon!” Yuan Wei recognized the individual, his face serious.

The Blood Prison Sword Demon was one of the archenemies of his master, the Immortal Sword God.

The Jiuyou Demon Venerable’s gaze fell on the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor, clicking his tongue, “The seven supreme Divine Bodies, Great Beginning, you truly make one envious; you’re fine after taking a hit from me.”

The Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor was enveloped in a seven-colored Divine Light that ebbed and flowed, and there was no wound where he had been struck by the Jiuyou Demon Venerable.

The Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor coldly regarded the Jiuyou Demon Venerable, “I didn’t expect that you weren’t dead!”

Millions of years ago, the Jiuyou Demon Venerable should have died.

And he was the one who killed him.

“If you’re not dead, of course, I won’t die,” retorted the Jiuyou Demon Venerable with a cold laugh. “However, old Great Beginning, today is where you will be buried!”

“Come out, all of you!”

“Meet the Great Beginning Emperor of the Heavenly Court!”

Following Jiuyou Demon Venerable’s words, tens of figures flew out of the void.

Each figure had an aura as strong as the Jiuyou Demon Venerable and the Blood Prison Sword Demon at least.
