Chapter 949: Chapter 949: Daojue Bone Demon
Yang Xiaotian would need at least a month to comprehend and integrate a Sword Domain, so there was no chance for him to merge with the fourth Sword Domain.
"Knowing that the Army of Living Dead would pass by Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain, all the strong practitioners who were previously understanding Sword Dao there have fled," lamented the leader of the Four Demon Witches with a bitter smile, "Now, in the vast Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain, only the seven of us remain."
Before, Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain was bustling with activity, and masters engaged in Sword Dao exchanges could be seen everywhere; now, there were no Ghost Shadows to be seen.
"In that case, the six of you enter the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation to comprehend the Sword Dao, while I will enter the Nine Ghosts Sword Formation to refine and assimilate the fourth Sword Domain," Yang Xiaotian said.
There were still three Sword Domains left in Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain, Yang Xiaotian was truly unwilling to give them up.
If the Army of Living Dead was only passing by Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain on their way to Hell Nation, as long as they cultivated deep within the Sword Formation, the Army of Living Dead should not notice them.
Unless the Nether Void Demon Venerable, Daojue Bone Demon, etc., personally entered the depths of the Sword Formation for inspection.
Hearing that Yang Xiaotian intended to continue staying at Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain, the Godslayer King and the others, though helplessly, did not say much.
"We will follow the Young Master’s orders," the Godslayer King and the others said respectfully with clasped fists before flying into the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation.
Yang Xiaotian, on the other hand, entered the Nine Ghosts Sword Formation in Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain, sat down in the Sword Domain space within the Nine Ghosts Sword Formation, and continued to comprehend and integrate the Nine Ghosts Sword Domain.
Half a month passed.
While the Godslayer King and the others were deep in the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation comprehending the Sword Dao, suddenly, they felt the space around them begin to tremble.
Successive waves of intense aura continued to come from the horizon.
These auras coalesced into an overwhelming Demonic might, pressing down so fiercely that it became suffocating.
And as time passed, the overwhelming Demonic might drew closer and closer, as if it would crush the entire space of Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain.
Even the Godslayer King and the others, deep within the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation, felt their expressions drastically change upon sensing this terrifying Demonic might.
The Army of Living Dead, had finally arrived!
Their formidable strength was the only reason they could withstand it; if they had been ordinary Sect Masters of Supreme Sects, faced with such a terrifying Demonic might from the Army of Living Dead, they would likely have been crushed into unconsciousness already.
As the Army of Living Dead drew ever closer to Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain, the entire air flow of the space reversed, and all sand and stones began to levitate into the air.
The levitating stones then continued to burst apart, turning into scattered sand.
Even the ancient trees of Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain that had stood there for countless years were uprooted, floating in mid-air, turning into dust one by one.
This was when the Army of Living Dead was still tens of thousands of miles away, their sheer intangible force spreading and exerting such a formidable terror!
When the Army of Living Dead came within ten thousand miles of Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain, the ground around the mountain trembled incessantly, as if a super earthquake was occurring.
Leading the Army of Living Dead was none other than the Daojue Bone Demon, who was once known alongside the Godslayer King.
Daojue Bone Demon carried a gigantic saber on his back, the saber like a small hill, while he himself was extremely thin, his body seemingly made of nothing but bones.
This frail-looking body, however, contained boundless Demonic Qi and Saber Qi.
Arriving outside Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain, his hollow eyes seemed to see through layers of Space-Time, gazing at Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain.
The six people within the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation felt the encompassing presence of Daojue Bone Demon, a sense of trepidation gripping their hearts.
Dreadful as the Daojue Bone Demon was, what was even more terrifying was the vast Army of Living Dead.
When Daojue Bone Demon looked toward the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation, he seemed to sense something, and with a flash, he landed right in front of the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation.
Sensing that Daojue Bone Demon had landed before the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation, a pang of fear struck the hearts of the six Godslayer King individuals.
As the Godslayer King and his group silently recited their mantras, suddenly, the Daojue Bone Demon’s entire body burst forth with waves of Saber Qi, charging into the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation and leaving the first region of the formation devoid of Sword Qi.
Immediately after, the Daojue Bone Demon stepped into the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation, then advanced toward the second region.
Upon seeing the Daojue Bone Demon enter the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation, the Godslayer King and the others in the eighth region tensed up, not daring to let out the slightest breath.
Though the Myriad Tribulations Sword Qi of the formation was astonishing, the Daojue Bone Demon bolstered himself with Saber Qi, continuously fending off the Myriad Tribulations Sword Qi and then made his way into the second region.
As the Daojue Bone Demon kept progressing into the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation, the six members of the Godslayer King group couldn’t help but hold their breath tightly, filled with nervousness.
If discovered by the Daojue Bone Demon, a fierce and bloody battle would be inevitable.
Before long, the Daojue Bone Demon reached the Third Region.
His surging Saber Qi stirred up the Myriad Tribulations Sword Qi of that region.
However, eventually, the Daojue Bone Demon retreated from the Third Region. Although he could use his own cultivation to force his way into the Third Region of the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation, entering the Fourth Region would require comprehending the Myriad Tribulations Sword Dao of the formation, which was not something to be accomplished overnight.
And to comprehend the Myriad Tribulations Sword Dao was not a matter of a single day.
After emerging from the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation, the Daojue Bone Demon led the Army of the Living Dead on their vast and mighty way towards Hell Nation.
However, upon leaving, he suddenly slashed out with a formidable blow of Saber Qi toward the location of Yang Xiaotian within the Nine Ghosts Sword Formation.
Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain thundered explosively non-stop.
The Daojue Bone Demon and the Army of the Living Dead gradually vanished into the horizon.
Only after confirming that the Daojue Bone Demon and the Army of the Living Dead were completely gone did the Godslayer King and the others emerge from within the Myriad Tribulations Sword Formation.
Looking at the last slash from the Daojue Bone Demon that had penetrated the Nine Ghosts Sword Formation and struck Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain, leaving behind a terrifying crevice, the Four Ghost Witches were truly shaken.
"Could the young master be in danger?" the leader of the Four Ghost Witches asked.
"The young master will be unharmed," the Godslayer King shook his head.
He was well aware of Master Ding’s formidable defense. With Master Ding’s protection, the Daojue Bone Demon’s slash, though terrifying, could not harm their young master.
Half a month after the Army of the Living Dead departed, Yang Xiaotian finally comprehended and successfully merged with the Fourth Sword Domain.
After that, Yang Xiaotian immediately set about comprehending and merging the final two Sword Domains of the Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain.
When Yang Xiaotian had successfully merged with the last two Sword Domains of the Myriad Tribulations Sword Mountain, he had eleven Sword Domains that had broken through to the Minor Accomplishment Realm, leaving only four great Sword Domains unbroken.
Yang Xiaotian turned his gaze toward the direction of Hell Nation.
Hell Nation was an imperial country under the command of Sword Nation, housing four Sword Arrays that had given birth to Sword Domains, and the abode of the Chaos Demon Lord was in Hell Nation.
However, since the Army of the Living Dead entered Hell Nation over two months ago, they had not left, remaining entrenched within Hell Nation.
The Army of the Living Dead remaining there was a major problem.
During these two months, Sword Nation had also dispatched large armies to kill the living dead, but after several battles, Sword Nation suffered heavy losses and deaths.
The once invincible Sword Nation, having suffered heavy losses on multiple occasions, caused the other empires and Supreme Sects of the Demon Ancestor Continent to grow increasingly uneasy.
With the Army of the Living Dead entrenched in Hell Nation, Yang Xiaotian was helpless and could only first merge with the other four Sword Domains of Sword Nation.
Yet, months passed, and after Yang Xiaotian had also succeeded in merging with those four Sword Domains, the Army of the Living Dead remained in Hell Nation, showing no signs of departing.
