Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Undying Death God
Yang Xiaotian looked astonished when he saw a broken axe lying on the ground before the towering Bone Mountain!
The aura of Man Lei was emanating from the broken axe.
Clearly, the broken axe was the weapon of Man Lei.
Man Lei had been here!
Just as Yang Xiaotian was filled with shock and suspicion, suddenly, an eerie howling erupted from the Bone Mountain, and a skull flew up, its gray light trembling fiercely. The skull, originally the size of a human head, swelled against the wind and became as large as a mountain.
The skull let out a ghastly, strange howl and opened its enormous jaws, lunging crazily toward Yang Xiaotian and his companions. Before the skull had even approached, a terrifying death Qi spread everywhere, nauseating anyone who smelled it.
The Iceflame Qilin suddenly lashed out with a palm strike.
Boom!
With a loud noise, the skull was blown apart.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the skull that had just been shattered was enveloped by the death Qi of Bone Mountain and began to reassemble, returning to its original state!
“Undying Death Qi?!” The Iceflame Qilin, the Azure Thunder Python, and the Immortal Demon Ancestor all thought of the same thing; they spoke in unison, their expressions changing dramatically.
It was as if they beheld the most terrifying thing in the world.
“Undying Death Qi!” Yang Xiaotian was equally astonished.
He had read about Undying Death Qi in ancient texts left by the Thousand Buddha Medicine God, but the details were not very thorough—only that Undying Death Qi was the most terrifying of all death Qi.
This type of death Qi was extremely dreadful, even capable of contending against Divine Flames!
Then came another ghastly howl, and, all of a sudden, dozens of skulls flew out from the Bone Mountain, swelling with the wind and biting towards Yang Xiaotian and his companions all at once.
The Iceflame Qilin and the others were greatly alarmed and acted simultaneously.
Yet, just like before, even after they shattered those dozens of skulls, they instantly reassembled, fully restored.
Immediately afterward, hundreds of skulls rose from the Bone Mountain, launching a third wave of attacks at Yang Xiaotian and his companions.
“Young Master, we must retreat quickly!” The Iceflame Qilin exclaimed in alarm as he saw the hundreds of mountain-like skulls attacking them.
They could still cope with a few hundred skulls, but what about thousands, tens of thousands of skulls? Moreover, Bone Mountain had more than just tens of thousands of skulls—there were perhaps millions!
If millions of skulls were to attack at once, not only would the three of them, including the Iceflame Qilin, be overwhelmed, even the Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi might not be able to withstand it.
“Retreat!” Yang Xiaotian knew they could not linger here and immediately called for a retreat while exerting all his power to summon the force of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.
Suddenly, the light of the Buddha surged, and flames spread like a sea.
Only then did the attack of the hundreds of skulls slow down.
Yang Xiaotian and his companions took the opportunity to exit the cave.
To their relief, once they left the cave, the hundreds of skulls did not continue their attack.
Piloting the Abyssal Spaceship, they returned to the swamp’s skies.
“Undying Death Qi has actually emerged!” The Azure Thunder Python looked down at the swamp below them, still unsettled.
Yang Xiaotian had never seen the Iceflame Qilin or the Azure Thunder Python look so grave.
“With Undying Death Qi appearing, the Azure God Continent is bound to undergo a great change!” The Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor was also visibly shaken.
Those skulls from before were clearly being manipulated by someone behind the scenes, which was why they had attacked them aggressively.
Thinking about the person controlling them from behind, the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor broke out in a cold sweat.
“Undying Death Qi?” Yang Xiaotian asked the Iceflame Qilin.
“Back in the day, Lord Azure God had a few archenemies, one of which was the Undefeated Nether God, and another was the Undying Death God!” The Iceflame Qilin took a deep breath and said, his voice trembling as he mentioned the Undefeated Nether God and the Undying Death God.
These two figures were seen as demonic overlords above all!
Compared to these two, the behemoths of the Azure God Continent are nothing but insignificant ants.
Yang Xiaotian asked incredulously, “Old Bing, are you saying that the Undying Death God cultivated the Undying Death Qi?”
“Exactly!” The Iceflame Qilin nodded with grave seriousness. The thought of the myriad terrifying legends of the Undying Death God caused its heart to beat differently.
“The Undying Death Qi of the Undying Death God is extremely fearsome. Even Lord Azure God had difficulty exterminating it!” The Azure Thunder Python said hoarsely, “Only the top three Divine Flames could suppress the Undying Death Qi!”
The top three Divine Flames!
And the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire is only ranked tenth.
No wonder they were unable to suppress the Undying Death Qi just now.
“Could it be that the Undying Death God was in the cave just now?” Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor said, turning pale.
The Undying Death God, known as the ancestor of Death Spirits on the Azure God Continent, such an existence could obliterate them a hundred times over with a flick of a finger.
“Impossible!” The Iceflame Qilin reacted violently, shaking its head, “The Divine Tome records that Lord Azure God had already killed the Undying Death God! How could he possibly still be alive!”
The Azure Thunder Python swallowed and said, “If the Undying Death God were still alive, the Azure God Continent would turn into hell. Once infected by the Undying Death Qi, everyone would turn into Death Spirits!”
A weight settled in Yang Xiaotian’s heart.
“Maybe it’s not the Undying Death God. Have you forgotten the Undying Evil Venerable from a hundred thousand years ago?” the Iceflame Qilin suddenly suggested.
At the mention of the Undying Evil Venerable, the Azure Thunder Python and the Immortal Demon Ancestor also trembled with fear, their complexions changing.
The Iceflame Qilin told Yang Xiaotian, “A hundred thousand years ago, the Undying Evil Venerable obtained the Undying God Canon of the Undying Death God and caused a cataclysmic Blood Sea, slaughtering countless Supreme Sects!”
“His strength was so formidable, almost rivaling that of the Undying Death God himself! No one could withstand a single strike from him!”
Yang Xiaotian asked in shock, “What happened after that?”
“After that, it was Lord Azure Bear himself who took action and finally suppressed the Undying Evil Venerable!” said the Iceflame Qilin.
But at this point, it hesitated.
If both the Undying Death God and the Undying Evil Venerable were suppressed, then what was the deal with the Undying Death Qi that appeared in the cave just now?
Who was manipulating that Undying Death Qi?
Everyone felt a chill down their spine.
“Let’s go. We must head to Demon Ape Mountain!” Without delay, Yang Xiaotian piloted the ship towards the heart of Demon Ape Ridge, to Demon Ape Mountain.
There, lay the sealed grounds of the Demon Ape.
After subduing the Demon Ape, they would need to leave Demon Ape Ridge quickly.
He had a premonition that a major disaster was about to strike Demon Ape Ridge!
As Yang Xiaotian and his companions rushed toward Demon Ape Mountain, deep within the Bone Mountain in the cave, a young man was sitting cross-legged. This young man had a normal lower body with flesh and blood, but his head was a skull!
Undying Death Qi entwined around his body, forming one Undying Being after another, each a hundred times more terrifying than the Undying Death Qi Xiaotian and his companions had encountered.
The young man repeatedly practiced the Undying God Canon, and as he did so, flesh started to grow on his neck.
This was a sign that the Undying God Canon was nearing Great Accomplishment.
Once his head also grew flesh, that would be the Great Accomplishment of the Undying God Canon.
At that time, he would possess an undying body!
After flesh grew on his neck, his facial features also gradually took shape.
Finally, the top of his head.
At last, the final piece of flesh appeared on the top of his head.
The young man opened his eyes, his body’s Undying Death Qi dispersed explosively, his fearsome power surged to the heavens, causing an explosion in the cave. The world turned dark as if at the brink of apocalypse.
