Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1387: The Glory of Legends
Other than the Sword Severance who had made a brief appearance in the Eternal World once before disappearing, the strongest and sharpest divine weapon Tang Xiu had seen so far was the divine sword he had inside his body. The Divine Weapon Index contained the entries of tens of thousands of the strongest divine weapons, and ten of them were divine artifacts. However, these divine artifacts were all in the hands of the Supremes of the super sects, so they rarely appeared outside. His former weapon, the Sky Star Sword, was also a divine artifact. However, it was destroyed while he was crossing his divine tribulation.
“What is it called?”
Tang Xiu asked calmly as he raised his head to look at the middle-aged man.
“I don't know,” he replied.
Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes and asked, “How did you get it?”
“The residence of the Demon King,” said the middle-aged man.
Tang Xiu felt a little surprised, and the way he looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of him changed. Demon King’s Abode was a dangerous and frightening zone located in the 9th layer of Nefas Abyss. Even if it was the Supreme, the chances of them coming out of there unscathed were almost zero. He, too, had once tried to enter the Demon King Residence after becoming Great to obtain the inheritance treasure left behind by the Demon King regretfully. However, he got seriously injured only after crossing half the distance and finally had to return empty-handed.
The Regretless Demon King was a terrifying expert of the Demon Realm a hundred thousand years ago and was the undisputed strongest expert in the Demon World back then. Moreover, his cultivation was soaring at an extremely high speed. It only took eight thousand years for him to successfully pass through divine tribulation and ascend to the God Realm.
Tang Xiu looked at the middle-aged man deeply and asked, “You entered the Demon King's Place? If I don't guess wrongly, you shouldn't have reached the Supremacy Stage, right? ”
“I am a Perfect Golden Immortal, but I have entered once,” replied the middle-aged man.
Tang Xiu expressed his admiration with the gesture and then said, “That is the eternal fate and the miracle of destiny. Let me make a final guess, then. You shouldn't have entered the Demon King House for the Demon King's inheritance, but to kill yourself, right? ”
“Iya!” the middle-aged man's voice was still emotionless.
Tang Xiu shook his head while sighing. “It is better to live a bad life than to meet a good death, absolutely no need to worry over the events in life! Let me buy this broken sword, but you must answer my question before I do. You were supposed to meet many Gods who entered the Nephas Abyss and forced them to buy swords, but was no one willing to buy them? ”
“There are many such people, but they are all too poor,” replied the middle-aged man.
Tang Xiu laughed out loud. 20 million Crystal Essences is a huge sum for the Perfect Golden Immortal. Only Supremes could possess such a huge amount of wealth as it was even possible to purchase a Perfect Golden Stage Immortal deathmatch fighter from the Convict Arena with such a large sum.
Tang Xiu took out 20 million Crystal Essences from the interspatial ring in the next moment and handed them to the middle-aged man with a smile. “Are you not afraid of us attacking you to take this broken sword? I will definitely save 20 million Crystal Essences that way. ”
“I am indeed afraid of it, but death is also an eternal stop.”
Tang Xiu looked at her intensely before placing the broken sword inside the interspatial sword and saying with a smile, “I have one last question. May I know what you're called? ”
The middle-aged man raised his eyelids and spoke slowly after pausing for a moment, “I will answer you since you bought the sword. I am called the Eagle. ”
“Egypt? Only Eagle? ”
An unusual gleam flashed in Tang Xiu's eyes as he asked this.
“Iya!”
Saying so, the middle-aged man turned around and walked towards the entrance of the 2nd layer. In the next instant, he disappeared into the black and cloudy vortex.
Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes before looking towards the Seaway King and asked faintly, “Have you heard this name?”
A complicated expression floated on Seaway Monarch's face as he said with a nod, “I've heard of it before. The name has a well-known reputation as well. An Immortal Gold expert named Eagle made his appearance 4000 years ago and killed dozens of Gold Gods as well as eight Perfect Gold Gods in the span of just eight years. He killed the Perfect Golden Immortal on average every year back then, and 3000 years ago, he said, he slaughtered around 18,000 demons in the Eternal Domain of the Phantasmagoria Sea that included over ten Perfect Gold Immortal experts. He had already broken through to the Perfect Gold Eternal Stage at that time. 1800 years ago, he had already broken through to the Perfect Gold Eternal Stage, he stormed into the Sea of Death alone for a beautiful woman and slaughtered thousands of Great Emperor Deathgod subordinates and fought with her for several months, then he disappeared without a trace after being severely injured by her. All his deeds were fairy tales of legends, and except for one person, no one else had such splendor. ”
Tang Xiu's expression changed as he asked. “Who is that person?”
Tang Xiu chuckled internally as he never expected the Seaway Monarch to have such a high appraisal of him. However, in order to become a Supreme, he did experience some hardships as well as countless battles, eventually becoming a Supreme by standing on the corpses of millions of experts.
“Come, let's follow after him to see what's fun. I really want to know why he needs so many Crystal Essences. ”
The two entered the vortex immediately after.
The 2nd layer of the Nefas Abyss was a forest made up of dense black stones, and each one was of varying size, with the tallest being several thousand meters tall and the shortest being only a few meters tall. Therefore, this nature depicts a very unusual sight.
Tang Xiu and Seaway Monarch tailed the Eagle from behind boldly with no intention to hide.
During the journey, the Eagle had trouble several times. The inhabitants of Nefas Abyss attacked him to loot his belongings, the demons from the Demon Realm surrounded him, and even experts from the Monster Realm attacked him. However, he completed each attack easily, and all the enemies that attacked him eventually perished.
Tang Xiu and Seaway Monarch did not help and looked at the scene as if they were watching a good show. During this time, Tang Xiu took out the broken sword he received from the Eagle and gave him a stream of Primal Chaos Force to recover the cracks on the broken sword and grasp the secrets hidden within.
He did not have a sword soul, yet he possessed incomparable sharpness.
The Primal Chaos Force did not encounter any obstruction, and he was able to use it perfectly. After trying to control it with divine intent, Tang Xiu discovered that he had very smooth control over it and felt almost like controlling a needle that had no weight at all. After examining the inside of the sword with divine intent, he even discovered that there was a small dot-sized light within it that released a powerful esoteric aura.
“Although it is a broken sword, it should be an artifact of a higher level than the Sky Star Sword I had before. His strength might even be able to match the top ten divine weapons of the Divine Weapon Index! If I can return it perfectly and make it give birth to a divine soul, perhaps its value might even reach a level beyond my expectations!
“Although I am quite adept at repairing artifacts, I do not have the confidence to be able to restore this broken sword perfectly. I also don't know anything about the materials needed to repair it, so recovering this broken sword perfectly might just be a pipe dream. ”
After which, Tang Xiu and Seaway Monarch followed the Eagle through the 3rd, 4th, and 5th layers of the Nefas Abyss and finally reached the 6th layer. They later discovered that he was not heading towards the entrance of the 7th layer, but rather towards the Lost Forest of Nephas. Even though the three of them had met some enemies who were harboring evil intentions towards them, they were not afraid at all.
“The standard entrance fee to enter the Lost Forest of Nephas is 10 crystals for each person. You can pay with Immortal Crystals, Demon Crystals, Monster Crystals, Spirit Crystals, or Dark Crystals. Only those who paid the fee were allowed to enter the Lost Forest of Nephas, and those who dared to interfere without paying would all be killed without exception. ”
There was only one single pathway leading into the Lost Forest of Nephas. The Supreme Demon, the Immortal Monster, as well as the four Perfect Gold Gods, a total of six cultivators had put up roadblocks to collect toll fees from those who wanted to enter.
Tang Xiu looked on as the Eagle paid 10 Immoral Crystals and quietly entered. He immediately took out 20 Immortal Crystals and handed them to the six cultivators before entering the forest along with the Seaway Monarch.
The Forest of the Lost Nephas consists of randomly ordered black pine trees that are thousands of meters high. However, every black pine tree was extremely hard. Residence-type immortal artifacts could be seen within ten thousand meters, and there were even some people setting up stalls outside. All kinds of beings who had left their homes for the Eternal Domain of Nephas walked here and showed no hostility to each other. They checked all the shops and stalls to pick the treasures that caught their attention.
The number of shops and stalls reduced the number the further one penetrated the forest, and the distance between them also increased a lot. Tang Xiu and Seaway Monarch followed the Eagle deep into the forest, and after two days, they saw him stopping in front of a shop.
“Old Demon Wicked,” Eagle's voice looked unusually cold when he called this name.
A tall and sturdy expert from the Demon Realm with an ugly appearance walked out of the store slowly. He raised his eyelids, and upon seeing the Eagle, his eyebrows curved as he revealed a smile on his face and asked, “Did you bring 24 million Crystal Essences?”
Eagle threw an interspatial ring at him and said, “Give me the Consolidated Ambrosia of the Soul.”
The Demon Realm expert examined the number of Crystal Essences that were inside and exclaimed in awe, “You barely had 3 million Crystal Essences a decade ago. I never expected you would actually accumulate 24 million Crystal Essences in such a short period of time. I'm so admiring you for that. This is the Consolidated Ambrosia of the Soul. ”
The eagle received it with a lightning-fast motion, and after examining it, his face showed an excited expression as he cupped towards the Demon Realm expert. “Since the deal has been completed, can you now tell me where I can buy the secret Soul Consolidation Art?”
The Demon Realm expert pointed towards the depths of the forest and said with a beaming smile, “Go 5,000 kilometers in that direction, and you will see a shop called Demon Soul Palace. The store boss was specialized in selling all kinds of immortal records and secret arts from the Demon, Monster, Immortal, and Spirit Realms, this is a place where you can acquire any and all kinds of secret arts. ”
“Thank you.”
The eagle nodded and rushed towards the depths of the Lost Nephas Forest without even staring at Tang Xiu and the Seaway Monarch, acting as if they did not exist at all. This 5,000 kilometer journey was not too far for him, and since he rushed with all his might, it only took ten breaths to arrive before the Demon Soul Palace.
