Chapter 420 - 420: The Undying Death God is Afraid
Chapter 420: Chapter 420: The Undying Death God is Afraid
The Undying Death God blasted the towering flames with billions of Undying Death Qi, and the terrifying fluctuations of power were even felt by Yang Xiaotian and his companion.
“Someone has come to the Fire World!” the Demon Ape exclaimed in shock and suspicion.
“We must find the Eternal Heavenly Coffin first!” Yang Xiaotian said.
The most urgent task at hand was to find the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.
Yang Xiaotian had a premonition that the newcomer might be the Undying Death God.
If that was the case, he had to be even quicker.
He had to find the Eternal Heavenly Coffin before the Undying Death God did.
If the Undying Death God found the Eternal Heavenly Coffin first, even with Master Ding on his side, it would be difficult to snatch the coffin back from the opponent’s hands.
After all, if the opponent found the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, even if unable to withstand the invincible assault of Master Ding, he could escape with the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.
If the Undying Death God wanted to flee, not even Master Ding could prevent it.
Therefore, Yang Xiaotian hastened his pace, descending further below.
He fully activated the power of the Ziwei Divine Fire, protecting his body.
Outside the barrier of the Ziwei Divine Fire, the rolling flames resembled bubbling magma, truly a shocking sight. If not for the protection of the Divine Flame, even the Demon Ape would find it difficult to descend to the bottom of the sea of fire.
To speed up, Yang Xiaotian simply called upon both the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire and the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire.
All three Divine Flames were now at full power.
Under the might of the three Divine Flames, the resistance of the sea of fire reduced significantly.
Still, the deeper they went, the stronger the sea of fire became. Endless flames surged from the depths of the earth, and even with the protection of the three Divine Flames, the speed of Yang Xiaotian’s descent gradually slowed down.
About half an hour later, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian felt the ground give way beneath him, and he arrived at the bottom of the sea of fire.
Below, was a Spirit Vein like a Fire Dragon!
This Fire System Vein, measuring over a thousand meters in length, was rich with spiritual energy. Yang Xiaotian and his companion felt as if they were in a sea of spiritual energy.
At the bottom of this sea of fire, there actually was a Fire System Spirit Vein! And it was a superior grade one, just like the Blood Dragon Spirit Vein he had obtained at Black Snow Mountain, of superior grade as well.
However, what truly captured Yang Xiaotian’s attention was the enormous black coffin hovering above the Fire System Spirit Vein.
The black coffin, hovering above the Fire System Spirit Vein, continuously swallowed the fire’s spiritual energy from the vein, and paradoxically, the coffin itself emitted a cold, dark light.
Looking at the black coffin before him, Yang Xiaotian was filled with joy; the coffin was undoubtedly the Eternal Heavenly Coffin!
After much hardship, he and the Demon Ape finally found the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.
Who would have thought that one of the most sinister and terrifying ancient divine artifacts of the Azure God Continent, the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, would be at the very bottom of this sea of fire.
The Eternal Heavenly Coffin was enormous, even larger than Yang Xiaotian had imagined, hundreds of meters in length and a hundred meters tall, suspended there like a great mountain.
Just the sheer size of the Eternal Heavenly Coffin alone imposed a powerful sense of oppression.
Yang Xiaotian flew up to the front of the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, but just as he reached out his hand, before even touching the coffin, a terrifying surge of black icy Qi burst out from within, instantly covering his palm in black frost.
At the same time, a shocking evil force poured into Yang Xiaotian’s body along his palm, incessantly devouring his life force and vitality.
Yang Xiaotian was greatly alarmed.
The Eternal Heavenly Coffin was indeed terrifying.
He had only brought his hand close to it, and before even touching the coffin, his palm was engulfed by the black icy Qi, and in the blink of an eye, his entire arm lost all sensation.
Not daring to be careless, Yang Xiaotian urged the three Divine Flames into action.
Under the power of the three Divine Flames, his whole body surged with firelight, and wisps of black ice qi finally began to drift out of his body continuously.
However, that astonishing evil force clung to his body like a parasite to bone, impossible to completely expel.
This evil force was the fundamental power of the Eternal Heavenly Coffin; if it were an ordinary Venerable, they would have been possessed by the evil force in an instant, losing their mind and turning into an evil demon.
The power of the three Divine Flames could only suppress, but not eliminate, the essence of the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.
In fact, it was mainly because Yang Xiaotian’s current strength was too weak to unleash the true might of the three Divine Flames; otherwise, with their power, they could indeed eradicate this evil force.
“Let me do it!” Master Ding’s voice rang out.
At once, an overwhelming and invincible force emerged.
The evil force that had been entrenched within Yang Xiaotian’s body was finally blasted away.
Even so, the evil force was not completely dispersed but retreated back into the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.
Seeing the Eternal Heavenly Coffin so malevolent, Demon Ape too was taken aback.
“Master Ding, is there a way to tame the Eternal Heavenly Coffin?” Yang Xiaotian asked.
“Yes, if there were a few hundred vats of Tribulation Thunder Water, I guarantee it would submit obediently,” Master Ding said with a laugh.
“If there were tens of thousands of vats of Tribulation Thunder Water, would you be able to blast it apart?” Yang Xiaotian asked sardonically.
Master Ding laughed, “Tens of thousands of vats are not necessary.” Then he added, “However, although I can’t tame it now, I can still take it away.”
Saying this, it moved above the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, increased in size by a thousandfold, and its mouth emitted a strong suction force, pulling the Eternal Heavenly Coffin into the cauldron.
Relieved at the sight, Yang Xiaotian thought that as long as the Eternal Heavenly Coffin was taken away, taming and refining it could wait for another day.
Then, he also hefted up the Fire System Vein and tossed it into the cauldron.
This Fire System Vein naturally couldn’t be a windfall for the Undying Death God.
Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to leave, suddenly, the sea of fire shook violently, and several figures dropped from the sky, namely the Undying Death God, Corpse Demon, and their comrades.
The moment the Undying Death God and the others laid eyes on Yang Xiaotian, their expressions drastically changed.
In the eyes of ordinary martial artists, they were terrifying demons, but to them, Yang Xiaotian was the terrifying young demon.
With a grim look, the Undying Death God glanced at the spot from where the Fire System Vein had been removed; although the vein was gone, the ground still bore its imprints.
And the air still carried the astonishing presence of the Fire System Spiritual Energy.
Even though the Eternal Heavenly Coffin had been taken, the air still contained a strong scent of evil and dark cold qi.
Undoubtedly, the Eternal Heavenly Coffin had been seized by Yang Xiaotian before anyone else could get to it.
And with it, a top-grade Fire System Vein or better!
The Undying Death God looked sullen as he stared at Yang Xiaotian, feeling a mixture of shock, rage, and frustration. Could this young man with the surname Yang truly be his nemesis?
“Brother Yang, I presume.” The Undying Death God tried to suppress the shock and rage in his heart. He spoke with forced calm, “You took the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, didn’t you? And a Fire System Vein as well. How about this: the Eternal Heavenly Coffin for me, and the Fire System Vein for you. What do you say?”
He spoke to Yang Xiaotian as if he was negotiating, something the Undying Death God, having lived countless ages, was likely doing for the first time.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a golden cauldron appeared beside Yang Xiaotian, and it was Master Ding!
Seeing Master Ding emerge, the Undying Death God, along with the Corpse Demon, the Blood Demon, and the Evil Buddha, all jumped in shock and quickly distanced themselves. They had been frightened by Master Ding’s power blasts.
Even though the Corpse Demon, Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha hadn’t been blasted themselves, they were still scared.
Very scared.
