Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 858 Kill the Demon Star

Ding Hao roughly got some news from those people’s discussion.

What the young man named Li Ning from Northern Land City said was right. There were traces of the reincarnated demon star in this ancient site. It was said that the Black Armored Army who came after hearing the news had launched a siege. However, they didn’t catch the demon star. Instead, they suffered heavy losses. When the masters of the God’s Palace arrived, the demon star had hidden inside the ancient site and disappeared.

Someone also found a golden boot in the ruins. Later, it was proved that it was the Cloud-walking Boots of the eldest Divine Prince, Ding Shengtan, which attracted more attention from God’s Palace. Therefore, a large number of experts came here to research…

Ding Hao was thrilled when he heard that.

The boot showed that his father had been here before at least, and the fact that the court was still very nervous about this news meant his father was not caught nor killed by God’s Palace and he may be still alive.

However, Ding Hao did not expect to find Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng here.

He just hoped to find some clues or find some relics left by these two people so that he would know the direction when he went to search for his parents again.

After walking for nearly 30 minutes forward, Ding Hao saw a large crowd.

The masters from all over the world gathered together. It looked as if they were waiting for something.

It was a huge collapsed square. The giant stone pillars were broken, so the huge rocks were scattered all over the place. The gloomy wind blew from cracks on the ground. No one knew what was in the depths of the cracks. The wind whistled like owl-like howls all around, making the place eerie and terrifying.

At the end of the square was an ancient building complex.

These buildings were better preserved. Towering buildings were covered with thick black ash. From a distance, it looked like a completely dead forest without any vitality at all.

These buildings stretched far into the darkness and there was no telling how big they were.

Several thousand Black Armored Army soldiers lined up at the end of the square, forming a black city wall. No one was allowed to enter this black building complex.

“The God’s Palace is catching the reincarnated devil star. No one is permitted to enter this ghost city in case the devil star sneaks into the crowd and escapes. See this silver line? Those who cross it will be killed.”

An Immortal General in a suit of black Divine Dragon Armor was surrounded by nearly a hundred guards, standing at the front of the Black Armored Army. He used his sharp sword to point to the shining silver line on the ground and shouted sternly and decisively.

No one dared to defy the power of God’s Palace.

Even if those masters from other sects and families together were enough to defeat the Black Armored Army, no one dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction. This was the majesty that God’s Palace had accumulated for countless years and it could not be challenged.

Ding Hao mixed in with the crowd and observed carefully.

Most of the experts who came here were above the Martial Emperor Realm, some of whom were in the Martial Grand Emperor and even the Martial Sage. As for the thousand Black Armored Army soldiers on the ground, their average strength was near the peak of the Martial King Realm. The Immortal General who had spoken earlier was at the peak of Martial Grand Emperor.

More than a thousand of the Black Armored Army soldiers lined up neatly wearing black armor uniforms. Although their individual strength was not high, after they lined up, there was a kind of frightening aura as strong as a mountain.

“The Black Armored Army gained control over the situation. If it continues, I’m afraid I will lose all the clues.” Ding Hao thought anxiously.

Those masters from all sides, who looked at the complete black buildings in the distance, were a little impatient. It was obvious that if there was a divine treasure in this site, it must be in this relatively complete building. However, no one dared to cross the silver line.

“I have to think of a way to change this situation.” Ding Hao thought.

While Ding Hao was thinking, something strange suddenly happened at that moment-

Boom!

A loud bang was heard.

In the distant black buildings, there was a dazzling flame flashing, and the energy which was as horrible as the ocean burst out. The strong wind instantly lifted the black dust everywhere. When the dust rolled up, the originally dim space was immediately filled with smoke and dust. In an instant, it was as if countless devils had climbed up from the ground.

A figure that spat out blood smashed countless buildings, retreated from the black buildings and came out.

“It’s the Immortal General Star!”

A soldier of the Black Armored Army shouted and recognized this figure.

It was truly the master of God’s Palace-Immortal General Star who had entered the black buildings to apprehend the reincarnated demon star.

Surprisingly, even he wasn’t that demon star’s match and would actually be beaten back.

A dozen experts of the Black Armored Army immediately took actions to support the figure who vomited blood and flew backward, trying to save him. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a figure surrounded by black flames suddenly came out like lightning behind the burly Immortal General Star, and with a few gentle palms, he killed those Black Armored Army soldiers.

It turned out that the Immortal General Star had died for a long time. It was his corpse that had been blasted away, and the killer had curled up behind the Immortal General Star’s body to conceal the Black Armored Army and gave them a sneak attack.

“Damn it, it’s the reincarnated demon star!”

The general in divine dragon black armor shouted and shook his sword.

“Huh Huh Huh.” Amidst his sinister laughter, the reincarnated demon star flashed and did not fight with him. Instead, he entered the formation of the Black Armored Army like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Suddenly, blood splashed, and bones burst out. In an instant, countless Black Armored Army soldiers were killed.

“Damn it!” The general was extremely anxious.

In this way, the united formation set up by the army was incomplete and thus ineffective. It could no longer control the reincarnated demon star. Now the Immortal General Star was dead. Who could control him?

“Kill him. Everyone, attack! Whoever kills him will be largely rewarded by God’s Palace.” The general, in his desperation, shouted towards the experts present.

After a short moment of shock, someone immediately decided to take actions.

Hundreds of figures instantly besieged the Reincarnation Demon Star.

Some of them were experts in the Sage Realm.

As long as they could capture or kill the reincarnated demon star, they would be rewarded by God’s Palace, which was absolutely a good bargain. There were so many people present. Couldn’t they catch one person? He wasn’t a supreme master in the god’s realm, so they could exhaust the reincarnated demon star to death even if they couldn’t kill him directly.

All of a sudden, the situation became chaotic.

Ding Hao had his eyes fixed on the figure of the reincarnated demon star from the very beginning. But in such a short time, he could not recognize the devil star’s true identity. However, what surprised Ding Hao was that the reincarnated demon star was not from the Human Clan.

“He is from the Demon Clan,” Lei Tingchan whispered.

Ding Hao nodded.

This reincarnated demon star was surrounded by black Demon Aura which was powerful and gloomy. It was the symbol of the Demon Clan.

Since Ding Hao came to the Land of Divine Grace, he had not heard any news about the Demon Clan. It seemed that there was no Demon Clan on this land. Now that this reincarnated demon star was a demon, probably it was also from the Land of Infinity.

Ding Hao did not attack this Demon Clan master.

He mixed in the crowd and quietly approached the center of the battlefield to get close to the black buildings.

Many people had the same idea as him.

The general in black armor had no time to care about that. What he cared most now was whether he could catch the reincarnated demon star in front of him. Once the demon star escaped, he couldn’t bear the responsibility.

Therefore, Ding Hao easily sneaked into the black buildings with Chu, her brother, and Lei Tingchan.

The sound of the battle in the distance gradually faded away.

Walking in the ghost-like and ruined city, Ding Hao felt a kind of gloomy air blowing on his face.

Ding Hao’s sense of direction suddenly became clearer than ever for no reason in these maze-like buildings. It was as if something was guiding him, and he had almost no hesitation along the way and had been moving toward the only goal.

Ding Hao walked very fast.

After a long time, the black buildings around him gradually disappeared.

The four of them came to a strange stone bridge.

Above the stone platform, blue light flecked in the darkness just like the poignant but beautiful night sky. Around the stone bridge was an endless abyss, with chilly wind and astral wind whistling. It sounded as if there were horrible beasts and devils roaring at the bottom of the abyss, which was creepy.

They didn’t know when there was no one behind them.

All the masters who entered the ghost-like black buildings were left behind by Ding Hao.

After walking about 500 meters along the narrow stone bridge, a silver altar made of white jade appeared in front of him. In the darkness, this silver altar was shining with pure light like the moonlight, which showed a sense of holiness.

The silver altar was the end of the road.

There was no way ahead.

Ding Hao stood in front of the altar and felt the power of the blood lineage. It was as if the altar had been prepared for him and something on it was constantly summoning him.

The situation was a little strange.

“I’ll go up and have a look first.” For the sake of safety, Ding Hao decided to climb the altar to explore first. He always felt that he had an unspeakable bond with this ancient sect ruin, which seemed to be prepared for him.

He stepped onto the altar step by step.

The silver altar had nine floors in total. Each floor was about half a meter high, and it had a bright and white surface without any pattern. The surface reflected Ding Hao’s figure like a mirror. When Ding Hao climbed to the top of the altar, he suddenly felt that his vision was widened. He couldn’t see anything but the beautiful dim blue starlight shining in the darkness.

“This is…”

Ding Hao was a little surprised.

The dim blue light spots all over the sky were swimming slowly as if the stars were moving, which was completely different from what he saw under the altar. At first glance, Ding Hao felt a little dizzy, and the dim blue light spots were moving in a way that was in line with some kind of natural law. It was as if they were evolving stars and the universe, containing infinite mysteries.

What exactly was this place?

Ding Hao was astonished.
