Chapter 318 - The Great Battle At The Violet Demon Palace (1/2)

“Good, then I will head over to the heavenly palace first,” Shi Shenzong said softly. After that, he turned into a stream of sword light and disappeared into the horizon.

The reappearance of the Sword Saint would shake the world for sure.

Shi Haiming looked up and looked fervent.

“Ten-thousand Swords Divine Mountain is finally going to rise in power!” He mumbled to himself.

Ten-thousand Swords Divine Mountain had been a Sanctum for the Sword’s Way in the past.

After waning for ten millenniums, it was time to rise in power again.

He turned to look at the disciples beneath him and smiled with relief.

These children are the future of Ten-thousand Swords Divine Mountain.

…

After traveling for ten days.

Zhou Xuanji and Xian Xianghua finally reached the east coast of the Northern Wilderness Region.

The two of them stood on the beach as seawater washed over their boots.

Zhou Xuanji wore an elegant blue shirt and did not get wet by the seawater. He looked at the horizon and asked, “Where is that palace?”

“About more than a hundred miles ahead of us. However, we need to wait for one more person. He was the one who found the palace.”

Zhou Xuanji was curious. Who was so free to explore the deep sea?

In the Northern Wilderness Region, both demons and humans had great fear for the deep sea.

Fifteen minutes later.

A ball of demonic Qi flew over from the horizon and landed before the both of them.

After the demonic Qi dissipated, a wickedly charming man appeared.

The white-haired and black-robed man had a handsome face, albeit with loose skin and wrinkles. A wicked aura emanated from between his brows, and he raised the corner of his lips, giving off a sense of ruthlessness.

Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal!

Zhou Xuanji squinted his eyes. There were only a few Great Tribulation Scattered Immortals currently, and Tanhua Sect only had Xian Xianghua herself.

Could he be…

“Young man, it’s been a long time.”

The black-robed man grinned. That grin could make people shiver in fear.

Zhou Xuanji maintained his calmness and said, “Diablo, you have revived indeed. I did not expect you to have the power of a First Tribulation Scattered Immortal when you have just been revived.”

This person was the Ancient Diablo, the arch-rival of the Hegemon Sword Emperor.

The Diablo shook his head and said, “You should know the power of the Celestial Devil Rebirth Technique. If not for the fact that I’ve been dead for too long, ten years was enough for me to recover to the cultivation of a Second Tribulation Scattered Immortal.”

Zhou Xuanji became curious suddenly. How powerful was this guy when he was at his peak?

“That palace is called Violet Demon Palace. It has been around for a long time. Back then, I was badly injured by Tian and fell into the deep sea. If not for that, I would not have uncovered its existence,” the Diablo said faintly. He was no match for the guarding demon at the Violet Demon Palace after sustaining a severe injury.

Or else he could have boosted his cultivation tremendously with the help of the Colorful Celestial Fruits, even to the point of defeating the Hegemon Sword Emperor.

“Let’s go. If the three of us work together, we can defeat that demon for sure,” the Diablo looked at Zhou Xuanji and chuckled. That expression was like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law. The more he looked at Zhou Xuanji, the more pleased he was.

Under his guidance, Zhou Xuanji and Xian Xianghua flew toward the sea horizon.

A while later.

The three plunged into the sea as they resisted the water with their spirit energy.

They were high in cultivation and didn’t fear the water pressure.

After diving for a hundred meters, there was no light. Fortunately, they could continue to dive by sensing their surroundings with their minds.

Ten thousand meters was not very far for them.

Soon, Zhou Xuanji could see a ball of faint light underneath.

After getting closer, he realized that it was the Violet Demon Palace. All kinds of jewels were embedded on the palace walls and roofs, emanating a radiance that illuminated the underwater space.

The Violet Demon Palace was as tall as three hundred meters and had two levels, looking majestic. Two demon statues stood in front of the main gate. Both statues had three heads and six arms each with bronze and tusked faces, looking horrifying.
