Chapter 389: Chapter 386: Heaven and Earth Overturned

With the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword in hand, Ye Xuan came up to the emaciated man and swung the sword down vertically, fiercely chopping at the Black Nether Stone.

Clang!

The blade struck the Black Nether Stone, immediately sparking intense flashes. However, Ye Xuan’s slash failed to break open the Black Nether Stone, not even a slight crack appearing.

"Even if you have a Supreme Grade sword, your cultivation is ultimately lacking. This Black Nether Stone isn’t so simple to break," the emaciated man shook his head. If the sword were in his hands, breaking the Black Nether Stone wouldn’t be a problem at all.

It was simple, although a sword was powerful, it depended on who wielded it. With his status as a Demon Venerable, he could unleash the true power of a Supreme Grade sword.

"While my power alone is insufficient, I am not alone here. Combined with my mother’s strength, we are more than enough to break open this Black Nether Stone."

Seeing he couldn’t break the Black Nether Stone, Ye Xuan turned to Su Ying. Her cultivation was at the level of a Half-step Demon Venerable, yet exceptionally profound. He would wield the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword, and with Su Ying’s assistance, they were determined to break the Black Nether Stone.

"Right."

Su Ying nodded without hesitation, raised her hand, and grasped Ye Xuan’s sword-wielding right hand. Then, an immensely vast demonic power was released, and almost simultaneously with Ye Xuan, a sword strike infused with their combined strength fiercely cleaved at the Black Nether Stone.

Crack!

Suddenly, a crack appeared on the Black Nether Stone, and immediately, an odd fluctuation spread, with the crack visibly widening until it crumbled apart.

"Did it really break?"

The emaciated man, initially somewhat disappointed, was suddenly invigorated upon witnessing this, and a trace of elation washed over him.

The ground rumbled!

With the breakthrough of the Black Nether Stone beneath his feet, the emaciated man released an extremely ferocious fluctuation. The already dilapidated great hall seemed on the verge of shattering completely.

The moment Ye Xuan helped the emaciated man break his chains, deep within the Sky Demon Mountain, a valley that was as still as an ancient well suddenly stirred.

"This is bad. The seal on the third layer of the Land of Sin has been undone."

An old voice abruptly rose, carrying a hint of shock and anger.

"What? How is it possible? Who is it? Who sneaked into the Ice Prison and secretly unlocked the seal? If the seal on the third layer has been broken, doesn’t that mean Su Ying in the second layer will be released as well?"

"No matter who it is, Ao Tian is about to escape his bonds and reemerge into the world. We must hurry there and reseal him before he can fully regain his strength!"

Voices filled with surprise echoed, and then, amidst the wind breaking in the depths of Sky Demon Mountain, robust fluctuations transmitted from the valley.

...

The ground rumbled!

Deep in the Land of Sin, the whole ancient hall violently trembled under the emaciated man’s sustained efforts, and the spaces on the first and second levels collapsed under his struggle.

Crack crack!

After the Black Nether Stone shattered, the chains binding the emaciated man also broke one by one, falling to the ground piece by piece.

When the last chain snapped, the emaciated man regained his freedom of movement. However, having been bound for a long time, his limbs were still numb, and his body softened, nearly causing him to kneel.

Ye Xuan quickly stepped forward to support him, then a surge of True Qi flowed through his palm into the emaciated man’s body, and he handed over a bottle of pills, "First, recover your demonic power. Just now, in that Black Nether Stone, it seemed like a hidden fluctuation escaped. The ones who imprisoned you are likely aware that you’ve broken free. Once we leave here, a fierce battle is inevitable."

"Thank you, kid."

The emaciated man did not make a fuss. He understood that Ye Xuan spoke the truth. Those two great old monsters had indeed set up the seal intricately so that if there were any issues, they would know immediately.

Swallowing more than a dozen pills in one gulp, the emacitated man looked at Ye Xuan with a somewhat piercing gaze and asked, "Kid, aren’t you afraid that after letting me out, I might be ungrateful, repaying kindness with enmity?"

"Of course, I’m afraid."

Ye Xuan nodded with a smile, but no fear was evident on his face. "However, I believe you won’t do such a thing."

"Why?"

The emaciated man’s expression remained unchanged. He sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to cultivate and assimilating the demonic power from the pills.

"Because we have a common enemy. Betrayal wouldn’t benefit you in the slightest, and I assume you’re not that type of person. Given your status, you wouldn’t stoop to doing such things," Ye Xuan said calmly.

"Well said."

The emaciated man’s eyes suddenly changed, and a glint of sharp light burst forth. He then burst into laughter, "Boy, by saving me this time, you have granted me a new lease on life. I, Ao Tian, am not the kind to forget favors and betray friends. Rest assured, once I’ve regained my strength, I will ensure not a single creature in Sky Demon Mountain will have peace!"

A cold light flashed in Ao Tian’s eyes. In truth, even if it had nothing to do with Ye Xuan, he would have wanted to massacre everyone in Sky Demon Mountain. Those bastards had dared to imprison him in that accursed place for over a century. He would not be able to sleep at night if he did not take his revenge, even if he regained his freedom.

"This place is not fit for a long stay; we should leave this Ice Prison first. Once we’re out, both you and my mother will be able to absorb the nature’s spiritual energy from the outside world, break through your current limits, and significantly increase your strength."

Ye Xuan smiled; he could tell that Ao Tian was sincere. Given Ao Tian’s strength, he could likely turn Sky Demon Mountain upside down.

"What you say makes sense."

Ao Tian nodded and then stood up after refining some of the pill’s power to recover a portion of his demonic power. Within the confines of the Ice Prison, the energy provided by these pills was ultimately far from sufficient. Leaving this place was the best course of action.

"Let’s go!"

Without hesitation, Ye Xuan took the lead and shot up towards the top of the deep chasm.

The others also began to move, following him swiftly.

At this very moment, a gleam of light flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. The real show was about to begin...

...

The entrance to the Ice Prison was located at the base of a Thousand-foot Mountain. This area was manned by numerous guards, among whom were the ten Great Elders, including two Half-step Demon Venerables, who stationed themselves here all year round to prevent mishaps.

After all, the Ice Prison held many serious offenders, many of whom were from Sky Demon Mountain itself, imprisoned for their crimes to suffer. Of course, there were outsiders as well, but a great antagonist who had grievances with Sky Demon Mountain like Ao Tian was rare.

Boom!

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, the entire mountain swaying, causing everyone to lose their balance, stumbling and nearly falling.

"What’s going on?"

The two Half-step Demon Venerable Elders rushed out from their contemplative caves, their eyes filled with surprise as they stared at the Thousand-foot Mountain behind them.

They could sense that the abrupt disturbance seemed to have originated from the Ice Prison.

"I don’t know, maybe it’s an earthquake."

The other Elders came out from their dwellings, looking at each other in confusion, as they too were unaware of the reason for such a sudden anomaly.

"As long as it’s nothing serious, everyone return to your posts."

One of the Half-step Demon Venerable Elders waved his hand, signaling the others to disperse. However, just then, with a "boom," the sealed gate of the Ice Prison suddenly exploded, and a thick black mist erupted, instantly enveloping the entire sky in darkness with its sinister and cold evil aura.

"This is bad!"

Seeing this, the Half-step Demon Venerable Elder’s face changed drastically. He shouted loudly, his voice echoing through the wilderness, and he swiftly rushed to the breached entrance, "Quick, follow me and seal the breach!"

The remaining nine Elders sprang into action. However, as they approached the breach, a more ferocious gust of air forced them back several steps. In the next moment, a figure burst forth from the breach like lightning, appearing in the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The figure, with silver hair and a silver robe, was slender and distinctly a woman. As soon as she paused in the sky, the world seemed to respond. The robust nature’s spiritual energy began to move toward her, eagerly pouring into the woman’s body.

And as the nature’s spiritual energy converged, the woman in the silver robe’s aura quickly grew stronger. The energy around her transformed, and an aura belonging only to a Demon Venerable swept across the sky rapidly.

"She’s broken through to the level of a Demon Venerable!"

Both Half-step Demon Venerable Elders were shocked. This aura was even startling to them; without a doubt, only a Demon Venerable could exude such formidable energy.

"It’s the Dragon Girl, Su Ying; she has escaped from the Ice Prison!"

As Ye Xuan made his breakthrough, the Elders recognized Su Ying. She had only been imprisoned for a dozen years, and they all remembered what she looked like.

The numerous guards were all shaken; Su Ying had committed a serious mistake that led to her confinement in the Ice Prison. They never thought she would escape on her own and even breakthrough to the realm of a Demon Venerable.

They all felt as if their world had been turned upside down.

"Quickly, go inform the two Demon Venerates!"

One of the Half-step Demon Venerable Elders urgently shouted at a guard behind him. Dragon Girl Su Ying had been a formidable force even a decade ago, and now that she had achieved the realm of a Demon Venerable, even if all the people here joined forces, they might not be able to stop her. Only the intervention of Demon Dragon Venerable and Sky Fox Demon Venerable could possibly restrain her.
