Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Nether Sect’s Lair

“Young Master, should I personally go to the Demon Ghost Ridge to explore the matter?” Man Fang said to Yang Xiaotian.

Yang Xiaotian shook his head, “No need, I will go there myself in a few days.”

Although Man Fang’s strength was not weak, the Ghost Den in Demon Ghost Ridge was not an ordinary place of danger, so he wanted to go there himself.

He had Master Ding, and now that his Eternal Divine Body had initially formed, he was confident about entering the Ghost Den in Demon Ghost Ridge.

In the following days, Yang Xiaotian spent his days comprehending the Sword Dao and his nights continuing to refine his Acupoint True Essence.

Every day, Yang Xiaotian took time to accompany his parents and gave guidance to them and his sister in cultivation.

Now, with chaos emerging in the Azure God Continent, he needed to find ways to improve his family’s strength.

A few days later, Yang Xiaotian finally bid farewell to his family and headed to the Ghost Den in Demon Ghost Ridge.

This time, Yang Xiaotian didn’t bring anyone with him and went alone.

Given Yang Xiaotian’s special identity, to avoid drawing attention, he used his Life-Bound Soul Skill, Space Concealment, to leave the Imperial Capital.

After leaving the Imperial Capital, Yang Xiaotian arrived at a remote mountain wilderness where he then took out the Abyssal Spaceship and steered it towards the Godslayer Empire.

Demon Ghost Ridge was located in the Godslayer Empire.

The Godslayer Empire was also one of the most powerful empires on the Azure God Continent, its strength on par with that of the Great Brahma Empire and the Buddha Pagoda Empire.

On the way, Yang Xiaotian was not idle; he swallowed the remaining two Life God Fruits for cultivation.

Under the medicinal power of the two Life God Fruits, Yang Xiaotian refined the True Essence of all 1,296 acupoints in his body, and his True Essence became incredibly profound.

His vitality also surged once more.

However, Yang Xiaotian always suppressed his realm, not breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm.

The more profound the True Essence and the stronger the vitality, the stronger the foundation, so when he would break through to the Martial Emperor Realm, the transformation would be more powerful.

Only by doing this, once he broke through to the Martial Emperor Realm, would he hope to shatter the fetters of Heaven and Earth and cultivate fifteen Heavenly Fates.

After refining the last two Life God Fruits, Yang Xiaotian also crossed the borders of the Godslayer Empire and arrived at Demon Ghost Ridge.

The Abyssal Spaceship stopped before Demon Ghost Ridge.

The sight before him was of Demon Ghost Ridge, with Yin-energy piercing the skies, a dark oppressive mass as far as the eye could see, with dense Yin-energy condensing into sheets of ghostly clouds overhead.

Looking at Demon Ghost Ridge before him, Yang Xiaotian paused momentarily, then put away the Abyssal Spaceship, broke through the heavy Yin-energy, and entered Demon Ghost Ridge.

Once inside Demon Ghost Ridge, the surging Yin-energy was like an endless sea of ghosts, constantly engulfing Yang Xiaotian.

The vengeful spirits within the Yin-energy sought to devour Yang Xiaotian.

However, Yang Xiaotian did not activate the power of his Eternal Divine Body, but instead spurred the power of his vitality.

His vitality, now so strong as if it were a blazing sun, at its activation, instantly incinerated all the vengeful spirits to ash.

If a person were weak and sick, entering such a Yin Ghost evildoer land, they might be possessed by Yin Ghost evil spirits, but a martial artist with strong vitality would not be approached by ordinary Yin Ghost evil dæmons.

Yang Xiaotian flew forward along the path.

Although known as a ridge, Demon Ghost Ridge was actually a range of mountains stretching as far as the eye could see, and with Yang Xiaotian’s speed, it would take an hour or two to reach the deep Ghost Den.

With close calls but no dangers, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Ghost Den.

Before him laid a colossal mountain, with roiling Yin-energy, and halfway up the mountain, there was a massive entrance hundreds of meters wide, which was the entrance to the Ghost Den.

At the entrance to the Ghost Den, the Yin-energy surged out like black seawater.

The wails of ghostly spirits continuously emanated from within the Ghost Den, sending chills down one’s spine.

Yang Xiaotian executed his Life-Bound Soul Skill to conceal himself within the space and approached the entrance of the Ghost Den.

The constantly surging Yin-energy, with its terrifying force, battered Yang Xiaotian repeatedly.

Only by coming to the entrance of the Ghost Den could one truly understand the horror of this Yin-energy.

The ghost qi not only contained astonishingly frigid and yin energy but also possessed corrosive and corpse poison powers.

Not to mention ordinary Great Emperors, even those at the tenth layer of the Great Emperor stage would probably find it difficult to withstand the onslaught of ghastly qi pouring out of the entrance to the Ghost Den.

However, to Yang Xiaotian, these ghastly qi were no different from ordinary storms.

Yang Xiaotian directly broke through the ghost qi and flashed into the depths of the Ghost Den.

The Ghost Den was extremely deep and vast, with thick ghost qi surging forcefully, filling the entire den.

Within the Ghost Den, ghostly figures flickered in and out of sight.

Yang Xiaotian concealed his form and continuously flew deeper into the Ghost Den, while using the power of his Fourteen Sword Hearts to sense the whereabouts of the Divine Sword of Everything.

Even the third-ranked Divine Shadow Sword could be sensed by him, so as long as the Divine Sword of Everything was indeed within the Ghost Den, he was certain he could sense it.

As he weaved through the countless malevolent ghosts, watching the powerful specters nearly brushing past him, Yang Xiaotian’s scalp tingled somewhat.

Yet, after half an hour in the Ghost Den, he still hadn’t sensed the presence of the Divine Sword of Everything.

The Ghost Den was even larger than Yang Xiaotian had imagined, virtually a miniature ghost realm—seemingly bottomless. He even wondered if the Ghost Den was connected to the ghost realm; otherwise, where could such intense ghost qi be coming from?

Just as Yang Xiaotian continued his advance into the depths of the Ghost Den, suddenly, his Fourteen Sword Hearts trembled slightly.

Could it be!

The Divine Sword of Everything!

A surge of elation filled Yang Xiaotian’s heart, and he quickly flew toward the location of the Divine Sword of Everything.

As he kept moving deeper into the Ghost Den, the aura of the Divine Sword of Everything grew increasingly strong.

Just as Yang Xiaotian drew ever closer to the Divine Sword of Everything, suddenly, human voices came from up ahead.

Yang Xiaotian paused.

Were there other people inside the Ghost Den?

Could they be experts like him, here to hunt for treasures within the Ghost Den?

As Yang Xiaotian pondered, suddenly, voices from the front reached him: “Lord Yan Ping has ordered, tonight the four great Demon Sects will move out and obliterate the Shen Family!”

Yan Ping!

The Son of the Nether God!

Yang Xiaotian was startled upon hearing this.

Could one of the Nether Sect’s lairs be located here?

And the three great Demon Sects were planning to obliterate the Shen Family tonight!

The Shen Family, alongside the Wan, Fan, and Yan families, were among the Azure God Continent’s super ancient noble families. With the Fan Family having been destroyed, the Azure God Continent was already in a state of fear and unease. If the Shen Family were to be wiped out by the three great Demon Sects, the continent would be even more terrified, to the point where no one would dare to leave their sects.

With utmost caution, Yang Xiaotian had Master Ding shield his own qi and flew forward.

It wasn’t long before he arrived at the bottom of the Ghost Den.

At the bottom of the Ghost Den, there stood an immensely grand city.

Within the city, there were countless masters from the Nether Sect.

Apart from the masters of the Nether Sect, there were also numerous ghost kings and ghost generals reared by the masters of the sect.

However, aside from the high-ranking members of the Nether Sect, there were no signs of the experts from the Corpse Demon Sect, Evil Buddha Sect, or Blood Demon Sect.

Yang Xiaotian looked toward a grand palace within the city; the Divine Sword of Everything was within that palace. He carefully passed through the crowd of the Nether Sect’s elite masters and countless ghost kings and generals, reaching the front of the palace.

In the palace, there gathered a host of the Nether Sect’s masters, with the weakest among them at the tenfold layer of the Saint Realm, and no fewer than forty at the Divine Spirit Realm!

Seated on the throne within the great hall was not the Son of the Nether God, Yan Ping, but his Direct Disciple, Wang Kun.
