Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2537
2537 Coffin
“Hidden Space, why aren’t you entering?”
After resting for a while, Fiend King Lu Cang asked.
“There are nine palace doors. I don’t know which one they entered.” Fiend King Hidden Space replied.
The first thing that everyone thought of was to split up and search. However, that would lead to an unavoidable problem.
There was a limit to the number of people present. Once they separated, there would only be three Fiend Kings in each palace door. If they encountered Desolate Martial who wielded the Hell Suppression Tripod, they might even be killed instead!
The many Fiend Kings present were meticulous and did not express anything.
Fiend King Lu Cang pondered for a moment and analyzed, “According to this setup, there should only be a single way out of the nine palace doors. It’s fine as long as we determine which one is the right one.”
“If Desolate Martial and Demoness Ji chose the wrong path, they’ll definitely die without us even attacking. If they were lucky enough to choose the right path, we’ll definitely be able to catch up to them still!”
“Exactly.”
Fiend King Hidden Space nodded. “There are a total of nine palace doors. Which should we choose?”
“Don’t you have the Apocalyptic Fiend Diagram with you? Take it out and see if there are any clues on it.” Fiend King Lu Cang said.
Fiend King Hidden Space was enlightened and hurriedly took out the complete Apocalyptic Fiend Diagram.
Hidden Space and Lu Cang focused their gazes—there was indeed some guidance left behind on the fiend diagram!
“The forth palace door on the right!”
Hidden Space and Lu Cang exchanged glances and charged towards the palace door with the four Fiend Kings of Firmament Ascension Palace.
Fiendcelestial Black Heaven and the other Fiend Kings did not dare to enter recklessly. They exchanged glances and followed behind the Fiend Kings of Firmament Ascension Palace.
…
After the Martial Dao Prime Body and Demoness Ji entered the palace door, they continued forward.
Before long, another hall appeared before them. Similarly, there were nine palace doors and the two of them were faced with a choice once more.
They took out the Apocalyptic Fiend Diagram and compared it. The two of them quickly made a judgment and headed towards the palace door in the middle.
There were no dangers along the way.
After speeding for a while, the two of them arrived at yet another hall with nine palace doors around them.
“Are we just taking detours?”
Demoness Ji frowned slightly.
“No.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body had a calm expression. “There were murals around the three halls earlier on and the murals in each hall were different.”
“Alright, let’s continue then.”
The two of them entered a palace door according to the guidance of the fiend diagram.
With that, the two of them would meet the same choices each time they arrived somewhere else.
On the other side, the Fiend Kings experienced an extremely similar encounter.
However, the two parties grew increasingly distant in this gigantic and complicated chamber and did not meet.
Finally, after passing by the ninth hall, the Martial Dao Dao Prime Body and Demoness Ji arrived at an empty chamber with a circular dome.
The chamber was sealed and there was no other way out. In the middle was a gigantic coffin that was half the height of a human. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
When she saw the coffin, Demoness Ji suddenly laughed and turned to look at the Martial Dao Prime Body with sparkling eyes.
“What are you laughing at?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked.
“I suddenly thought of something.”
Demoness Ji smiled brightly. “Do you still remember when we first met in Tianhuang Mainland and I invited you to the inheritance ground of the fiend sects?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body had a dazed expression and recalled the past instantly.
Demoness Ji smiled. “At that time, we came to the depths of the ground and saw a coffin as well. Wasn’t it similar to this scene before us?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded slightly and turned to exchange glances with Demoness Ji. An indescribable feeling rose in their hearts at the same time.
In the lower worlds, when the two of them first met, they entered the underground together and saw a stone coffin.
After ascending to the upper world, the first time the two of them met, they ran underground and saw a coffin.
However, at that time, the coffin was coiled with chains and floated in the blood pool with Monk Daming sealed within.
The surroundings were filled with blood qi and the atmosphere was terrifying—it was different from the silence before them.
Demoness Ji continued, “At that time, a fiend appeared in that coffin and went on a massacre. The two of us had to hide in the stone coffin in the end to escape the calamity.”
At that time, the two of them were squeezed in that cramped stone coffin and it was inevitable that their skin would touch in a lustful manner.
When Demoness Ji mentioned this, the Martial Dao Prime Body recalled the scene but did not reply.
Demoness Ji smiled and said in a half-joking manner, “Hey, do you think something will happen here as well? For example, Fiend Emperor Apocalypse might revive and crawl out from that coffin…”
“If that’s the case, both of us will have to die.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body interrupted her directly. “A Fiend Emperor will kill us the same way he crushes two ants.”
Demoness Ji stuck out her tongue and no longer let her imagination run wild.
At that moment, the two of them relaxed after escaping from the pursuit behind them and were in no hurry to look at the coffin.
Demoness Ji glanced at the Martial Dao Prime Body again and suddenly asked, “What did you mean by bringing me home?”
At the mention of that, the Martial Dao Prime Body’s heart skipped a beat as he asked, “I was about to ask you. Although Tianhuang Sect is located in a remote corner, my reputation and Tianhuang Sect’s over the years should have spread to every corner of the Fiend Domain. Haven’t you heard of it in Firmament Ascension Palace?”
The battle where Desolate Martial killed the million-strong fiend army and the Supreme Perfected Fiend alone had already spread through the Heavenly World.
It was impossible for Demoness Ji who was in Firmament Ascension Palace to not have heard of it.
“Of course I have.”
Demoness Ji said.
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked, “Why didn’t you look for us then?”
Demoness Ji pouted her lips and said helplessly, “After I ascended, I was entangled by Ling Xian and he insisted on cultivating with me. As such, I could only try my best to delay him.”
“Even if I heard the news of Tianhuang Sect, I wouldn’t dare to look for you.”
“Firmament Ascension Palace has a Fiend Emperor holding down the fort and is terrifyingly strong. I was worried that if I had looked for you guys, Tianhuang Sect might be implicated and the Fiend Emperor will vent his anger on you.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body remained silent.
Although this matter was indeed a little troublesome, it was inevitable right now.
Even if he did not kill Ling Xian earlier on, there was no way the prince would let them off!
If the Fiend Emperor was truly provoked, he could only release divine powers with Thunder Monarch Heavenly Wrath and shift Tianhuang Sect to Avici temporarily to hide for a period of time.
In the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, there were nine Immortal Emperors presiding over the nine Immortal Domains.
There were definitely other Immortal Emperors in the darkness of the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain that resided in seclusion. Together, there were definitely more than ten of them!
It was the same for the Pure Land of Bliss.
There was naturally no way Ling Xiao was the only Fiend Emperor in the Fiend Domain.
However, for the other Fiend Emperors, in order to pursue the Great Dao, they either lived in seclusion in the mountains or roamed everywhere. The only one who established a faction like this was Fiend Emperor Ling Xiao.
The focus of the Fiend Dao was on taking the unorthodox path and being obsessed. They sought freedom to be unfettered, disregarding all etiquette and rules.
Although establishing a faction could rule over millions of territories and possess torrential power, it would also tie oneself down and was vastly different from what the fiend Dao wanted.
It did not matter whether the Fiend Emperor cared for the lives of the fiends of his faction under his lead, it was inevitable that countless karma would be involved.
That was the reason why most Fiend Emperors chose to roam the world alone.
