This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

The transformation brought about by the Heavenly Demon Infant Shattering Technique had almost instantaneously completed.

But facing Li Venerable, whose might surged violently, Beiming True Venerable did not show a hint of panic, a cold smile curling up the corner of his mouth, "You wouldn't naively think that you now possess the qualification to fight me, would you?"

The next moment, Beiming True Venerable pushed both hands forward, and the several Thunder Serpents twirling in his hands, flickering with an eerie purple light, swept towards Li Venerable.

The brilliance of the thunder was intensely blazing.

Li Venerable, sensing the Nascent Soul within his Dantian, which he had cultivated for hundreds of years, vanish, had an expression of stupefaction.

It was not until the Thunder Serpents attacked that a fierce and resentful red light flashed in his eyes.

He did not respond to Beiming True Venerable's mockery; instead, he stretched out his hands.

In an instant, swirling black mist erupted from within him, quickly condensing and intertwining in the air, shaping into a large black net that was abruptly flung towards the Thunder Serpents, enveloping them all in an instant.

"Beautiful!"

"Well done!"

The Wolf Palace Demon King and the Hyena Fierce Demon King, who had previously lost their will to fight, suddenly became excited, jubilantly shouting.

They saw a glimmer of hope for survival.

What fools! Could the gap between a Void Refining Cultivator and a Nascent Soul Cultivator be bridged with a secret technique?

Li Venerable glanced at the two Great Demon Kings with an extremely cold gaze, his heart filled with scorn.

The next moment, an Array Plate appeared in his hand.

This was the Array Plate that the Underworld Cultivators had earlier used to break the seal at the entrance of the Demon Spirit Tomb.

On the other side, Beiming True Venerable had already controlled the Thunder Serpents to collide with the black net, and with just one impact, all of the net's filaments snapped, ultimately hissing into the air as a pervasive black mist, dark and ominous.

Seeing this scene, Li Venerable was not too surprised, guiding the black mist as it surged like the vast sea, rolling out and once again entangling and engulfing the Thunder Serpents, preventing them from unleashing their full power for the moment.

Simultaneously, Li Venerable channeled his Spiritual Power, which had ballooned tenfold, into the Array Plate.

Afterward, a surge of Spiritual Light, thick enough to almost solidify, burst from the Array Plate, shooting towards the barely visible palace gate.

Spiritual Light radiated intensely, and the dazzling Spiritual Power instantly shrouded the entire gate.

Under the effect of the Spiritual Light, the originally ethereal gate suddenly solidified, revealing its true form.

Above the gate flickered five-colored radiances that soared skyward.

Knots of intricate and profound Demon Runes appeared on the gate.

These Demon Runes, like chains, sealed the gate shut.

This was the seal of the Demon Spirit Tomb.

The splendid Spiritual Power emitted by Li Venerable actually began to dissolve these Demon Runes, trace by trace.

The five-colored brilliance on the gate became more vibrant, even causing the entire gate to start trembling.

"What is he trying to do?" Beiming True Venerable saw that after performing the Heavenly Demon Infant Shattering Technique, Li Venerable did not engage in a fight to the death or try to flee with all his might but instead started making such significant actions towards the entrance of the Demon Spirit Tomb, perplexed and puzzled.

Meanwhile, Lu Qingshan, observing from a distance, caught sight of the scene within the valley and instantly understood Li Venerable's intentions.

The Underworld Cultivator is truly decisive, with a fierce determination!

Lu Qingshan sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of heaviness.

In the valley, although Beiming True Venerable was unaware of Li Venerable's intentions, he understood this was certainly not a good development.

He must stop his actions!

With a concentration of Divine Sense, a flash of lightning appeared in Beiming True Venerable's hands, and at the same time, a mysterious yet powerful force of Heaven and Earth emanated from his body, condensing into the lightning.

This was the intent mastered by Beiming True Venerable, the Purple Thunder Intent.

Under the enhancement of the Purple Thunder Intent, the lightning in his hand suddenly swelled manifold and then split into dozens of lightning bolts, densely packed, thunder rumbling, lightning flashing, like a swarm of blades slashing at Li Venerable.

The speed of the lightning was already fast, not to mention it was now augmented by the force of intent; its speed had become so swift it left streaks of afterimages.

"If you want to survive, help me block this attack!" Li Venerable's attention was mostly on the gate, but the moment Beiming True Venerable made his move, he sensed the terrifying might of this offensive and immediately bellowed fiercely.

Hearing Li Venerable's plea for help, the Bao Ming Demon King and the other Demon King exchanged glances and quickly nodded in agreement.

At this time, if they wanted to escape, they could only count on Li Venerable's methods.

Thus, the two Great Demon Kings, who had been fighting Li Venerable to the death just a short while ago, were now using their most powerful techniques to help Li Venerable deal with the dozens of thunderbolts crashing down.

The other Demon King opened his enormous mouth, gathering energy inside, followed by a fierce wind that conjured rocks out of thin air and hurled them towards the lightning.

After this attack, the Demon King was gasping for breath, completely exhausted.

The Wolf Palace Demon King's fur stood on end, shimmering with a metallic luster, then burst forth from his body, like a downpour of needle-like rain, charging into the dense thunderbolts.

After executing this technique, the once mighty Wolf Palace Demon King was now reduced to the appearance of a hairless dog.

At that moment, the dense blue runes on Li Venerable's body flared with brilliant light, and with sizzling noises, scales began to grow from his skin, enveloping his entire body as if he were clothed in Scale Armor.

These were the Hidden Scales of his Hidden Scale Demon Form, with astonishing defensive power and the ability to isolate some of the Spell's Spiritual Power.

Crack! Crack!

Hundreds of lightning strikes blanketed the area like a torrent, and even though the two Great Demons gave their all, they were charred black by the strikes, trembling uncontrollably.

After the two Great Demons helped absorb some of the onslaught of thunderbolts, the remaining lightning that struck Li Venerable's scales reflected off in all directions, although his armor of scales began to emit trails of black smoke.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Li Venerable let out pained groans.

Although most of the lightning that hit the scales was deflected, the penetrative power of the Beiming Divine Thunder was completely blocked from entering.

But as a result of such intense collisions, a terrifying high temperature was generated on his body, and his scales became searing hot, branding his skin as if they were glowing-hot irons.

This torture was both miserable and excruciating, as if he were in hell.

However, Li Venerable's lips curled into a vicious smile.
Your next chapter awaits on empire

Because all the runes above the palace gate vanished at that moment.

The restrictions set by the Demon Spirit Tomb, which were already close to being unlocked, were rendered ineffective in an instant!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the restrictions were lifted, it was as if thousands of troops were rampaging, and deafening thunderous roars suddenly erupted, one after another.

The palace doors of the Demon Spirit Tomb began to tremble violently, shaking continuously; a tiny crack appeared and gradually widened.

The entrance to the Demon Spirit Tomb was about to emerge into this world!

From the just-opening crack, rays of dazzling light rushed out, filled with wonder and mystery.

Li Venerable couldn't wait any longer for the doors to open fully. He stepped forward into the Void, his figure flashed, and he disappeared at the entrance, rushing inside.

Whoosh!

Just a moment after Li Venerable entered the Demon Spirit Tomb, another shadow darted out, heading towards the entrance.

This shadow was none other than the Bao Ming Demon King, who had been the first to flee, ambushed by the invisible Yin Thunder and fallen motionless to the ground!

"Heh heh! I thought I'd play dead and see if I could find a chance to escape, but never expected this opportunity to actually come!" the Bao Ming Demon King was filled with self-congratulation in his heart.

He was not so frail as to be finished off by just a couple of Thunder Spells; he had just been feigning death to use his hidden breath technique, hoping to escape in confusion.

And indeed, his wait paid off with this slim chance of survival!

Li Venerable, who would even break his own Nascent Soul to enter the Demon Spirit Tomb, believed there must be some means to escape in there!

Boom!

However, what the Bao Ming Demon King didn't anticipate was that the moment he tried to follow Li Venerable into the Demon Spirit Tomb, which had allowed Li Venerable easy entrance, a sharp and vast power erupted like a tsunami and sent his entire form flying backwards.

This surge of force, like a blade, tore open a massive gash across his chest that revealed his innards. Blood spurted from the wound and his bodily orifices began to bleed incessantly due to the force of the impact.

Why? Why?

In the eyes of the Bao Ming Demon King, there was only unwillingness.

Why would the tomb of their Demon Spirit Palace's ruler allow a Cultivator to enter, yet prevent it, a beast of the Demon Spirit Palace, from entering?
