Eternal Sacred King

2536 Apocalyptic Fiend Sutra

Demoness Ji was both surprised and delighted when she saw the Martial Dao Prime Body kill Ling Xian and return alive.

The Martial Dao Prime Body summoned the Hell Suppression Tripod and attempted to break through the space here, wanting to bring Demoness Ji with him back to Avici.

However, the Hell Suppression Tripod merely created a ripple when it struck the void. It could not break through the void to create a spatial tunnel connected to Avici.

The Martial Dao Prime Body had a calm expression and was not surprised.

In truth, when he saw that the few Fiend Kings were unable to support their Grotto-heavens in the tomb passage previously, he had a rough guess that he would most likely not be able to teleport away from here at any moment.

To be precise, any spatial technique could not be released within the Fiend Cave!

He vaguely thought of a possibility. However, the situation was critical and the two of them had yet to escape from danger. Without hesitation, he could only flee with Demoness Ji first.

Firmament Ascension Palace still had six Fiend Kings and there were about a dozen Fiend Kings from Black Fiend Sect and the other fiend sects. If they were to join forces, he could still protect himself with the Hell Suppression Tripod, but he could not ensure Demoness Ji’s safety.

“That way!”

Demoness Ji was extremely smart and reacted quickly, pointing to the depths of the ancient city.

The Martial Dao Prime Body did not reply and extended his arm, holding Demoness Ji’s slender and soft waist gently as he sped forward.

Although Demoness Ji’s movement technique was exquisite, she was far inferior to him in terms of speed.

Strange enough, the ancient city guards ignored the Martial Dao Prime Body and Demoness Ji. Instead, they charged towards Firmament Ascension Palace and the Fiend Kings of the seven fiend sects.

On second thought, the Martial Dao Prime Body guessed a possibility.

Demoness Ji and he both had the black incomplete diagram. That was the reason why the ancient city guards would not attack them.

The six Fiend Kings of Firmament Ascension Palace had grim expressions.

Under their protection, the prince was forcefully killed by a Perfected Fiend. If Fiend Emperor Ling Xiao knew about it, the six of them might be punished.

When they saw the Martial Dao Prime Body and Demoness Ji escape, Fiend King Hidden Space and the others did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly put away Ling Xian’s corpse before chasing after him.

Now that the prince was dead, all the more they could not let Desolate Martial escape!

However, divine powers and secret skills could not be used in the ancient city beneath the Fiend Cave. The Fiend Kings could not catch up to the Martial Dao Prime Body with just the power of their physiques and bloodline.

Furthermore, there were endless ancient city guards obstructing them.

Fiend King Hidden Space had a complete Apocalyptic Fiend Diagram with him and the surrounding ancient city guards would not attack him. However, he could only barely keep up with the Martial Dao Prime Body such that he would not lose them.

The ancient city was way too huge and the Martial Dao Prime Body carried Demoness Ji for a full two hours before they caught sight of a gigantic palace at the end of the ancient city!

“This should be the chamber of Fiend Emperor Apocalypse. Let’s hide inside!”

Demoness Ji said.

The Martial Dao Prime Body and Demoness Ji entered the Fiend Emperor’s chamber and looked over. They could not help but freeze on the spot.

Upon entering the chamber, the first thing they saw was an empty hall. There were nothing but nine palace doors on the walls around the hall.

It was dark and deep within, leading to unknown places.

Typically, for such an arrangement in a tomb, only one of the nine palace doors would lead to life.

If they made a wrong move, there was a high chance they would die here!

The two of them could not be certain for a moment.

Demoness Ji said, “If only I had the complete Apocalyptic Fiend Diagram. There should be some hints.”

“What does the complete Apocalyptic Fiend Diagram mean?”

The Martial Dao Prime Body’s heart skipped a beat as he suddenly asked.

Demoness Ji explained, “Tens of millions of years ago, Fiend Emperor Apocalypse died. It’s said that when the Fiend Emperor died, his skin turned into 18 Apocalyptic Fiend Diagrams that scattered all over the Fiend Domain.”

“Every single fiend diagram contains a portion of the Apocalyptic Fiend Sutra. It’s said that if you can gather all 18 fiend diagrams, you’ll be able to obtain the complete Apocalyptic Fiend Sutra.”

“Everyone claims that the Apocalyptic Fiend Sutra is comparable to the Taboo Mystic Classics. However, for so many years, no one has ever gathered all 18 fiend diagrams.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body frowned slightly and murmured, “There are 18 complete Apocalyptic Fiend Diagrams?”

“Not really.”

Demoness Ji said, “There are two sections to the Apocalyptic Fiend Sutra. Once you gather nine fiend diagrams, a complete section will appear.”

“Nine?”

The eyes of the Martial Dao Prime Body lit up.

Demoness Ji did not notice the abnormality of the Martial Dao Prime Body. She took out a black incomplete diagram from her storage bag and continued, “Unfortunately, I only managed to swindle one from Ling Xian.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “What a coincidence. I have eight here.”

He had a fiend diagram to begin with. Later on, he hunted down a few young masters of the fiend sects and gathered a total of eight fiend diagrams.

Coupled with the fiend diagram in Demoness Ji’s hands, there were a total of nine!

“Ah!”

Demoness Ji exclaimed softly with a delighted expression.

The moment the Martial Dao Prime Body took out the eight fiend diagrams, the fiend diagram in Demoness Ji’s hands left her hand and connected to the eight fiend diagrams.

Unfortunately, there was no Apocalyptic Fiend Sutra on it and there were only marks that resembled a map.

Demoness Ji said, “I heard that Fiend Emperor Ling Xiao had nine incomplete diagrams that formed the first section of the Apocalyptic Fiend Sutra. That was also the reason why he was able to become an Emperor.”

“However, this time round, something on the incomplete diagrams changed and the fiend sutra on them disappeared. That was why Fiend Emperor Ling Xiao was willing to hand the first section to Fiend King Hidden Space and the others so that they could bring people here to check things out.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body looked at the marks on the nine fiend diagrams and suddenly said, “This map looks a little like this chamber. According to the instructions on it, we should take the second palace door on the left!”

Demoness Ji also noticed the direction on the fiend diagram and was delighted. “Let’s hurry and leave!”

The Martial Dao Prime Body and Demoness Ji moved and charged into the second palace door on the left, disappearing before long.

Fiend King Hidden Space had the fiend diagram with him and would not be stopped by the ancient city guards—he was the first to arrive.

When he entered the hall and saw the same nine palace doors, he could not help but frown.

The hall was empty without anyone around.

It was clear that Desolate Martial and Demoness Ji had already escaped into one of the palace doors. Fiend King Hidden Space was unable to judge which it was and did not dare to budge in casually.

He could only guard the entrance of the chamber and wait for the others from Firmament Ascension Palace to catch up.

After a while, Fiend King Lu Cang and the others finally charged out of the obstruction of the ancient city guards. They were covered in blood and panted.

It took two hours just to advance without any obstacles.

The ancient city guards were endless as they charged over. Indeed, they had expended a lot of energy after fighting for more than two hours.

Strange enough, when the ancient city guards arrived before the chamber, they stopped in their tracks and none of them dared to barge in!

Even though they were long dead, in their final thoughts, this was also a forbidden ground that could not be trespassed!

The dozens of Fiend Kings such as Fiendcelestial Black Heaven and the others fought their way out and finally arrived.

Everyone swallowed a few immortal pills and rested for a while. Given their physiques and bloodlines, they would recover before long.
