Chapter 366: Chapter 366: The Birth of the Grim Reaper
Vitality spanning a thousand miles!
Even among the Elf Clan’s numerous Saint Realm powerhouses, few could boast such vigorous vitality.
And yet, Yang Xiaotian was merely a Martial Emperor.
“Kill him!” Xi Yuandong, seeing this, his eyes filled with an even stronger intent to kill.
She wanted to rush to Yang Xiaotian’s side but had barely launched forward when she was forced back by the Heartfelt Demon Ape’s iron chains that spanned ten thousand feet.
“Bang!”
A loud explosion was heard.
An Elf Clan Divine Spirit powerhouse was struck by the ten thousand feet iron chains, sent flying and crashing through the walls of the Elf King City. When he rolled to the ground, his armor shattered, his head a bloody, indiscernible mess, completely split open!
Seeing this, all Elf Clan Divine Spirit powerhouses gasped in shock.
Divine Spirits were indeed formidable, with terrifying vitality and blood essence, but with a head split open, not even a Divine Spirit could possibly survive.
“Ancestor Yan!” The direct descendants of this Elf Clan Divine Spirit powerhouse wailed and screamed.
The Demon Ape swung its iron chains at Xi Yuandong and the others once again.
Watching the iron chains, which seemed to come from the hands of the Death God, Xi Yuandong, and the others had their hairs stand on end.
But it wasn’t long before the Hai Family Patriarch was whipped away by the chains, too.
Just like Ancestor Yan before him, the Hai Family Patriarch had his head completely split open when he crashed to the ground.
Xi Mo and the others, who were still considering holding their ground, were now trembling with fear.
“Your Majesty, we should retreat for now!” An Elf Clan Divine Spirit powerhouse almost begged with tears in his voice.
The two who had just died were at the first layer of the Divine Spirit Realm, and he sensed that he might be next, as he was the weakest among the remaining Elf Clan Divine Spirit powerhouses.
Xi Yuandong swept his gaze across the entire city and saw that the Elf Clan Army was completely being slaughtered by Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python. His eyes bloodshot with rage, he bellowed, “Retreat!”
Hearing Xi Yuandong’s order to retreat, Xi Mo and the others let out a sigh of relief, no longer wanting to fight, and they all retreated.
The Elf Clan Army, which had previously surrounded Yang Xiaotian so tightly that no water could get through, also withdrew like the tide.
In the end, the millions-strong Elf Clan Army completely retreated.
Yang Xiaotian and his companions did not press their advantage and continue the pursuit; after all, they had come mainly for the Life God Tree this time.
Looking at the Elf Clan City, which had almost become ruins, Yang Xiaotian spoke, “Let’s head to the Forbidden Ground first!”
The Life God Tree was located in the Elf Clan Forbidden Ground.
The Forbidden Ground was not within the Elf King City but not far from it.
Soon, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Forbidden Ground and saw the Life God Tree.
The Life God Tree towered a hundred feet high, brimming with greenery, dotted with specks of gold light, and little shadows darted and flew among the branches. On closer inspection, they were tiny life elves, the size of a thumb.
These elves had no physical bodies, but were formed from spiritual energy, lending the Life God Tree a dreamlike and fantastic beauty.
Looking at the Life God Tree before him, Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help but admire it, and even the Demon Ape and his companions couldn’t stop their expressions of awe.
“It is said that this Life God Tree is over a million years old,” the Demon Ape spoke, “it was brought back from the Desolate Battlefield by the Elf Clan’s Ancient Ancestor long ago.”
Yang Xiaotian nodded.
What followed was the task of relocating the Life God Tree.
Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to have the Demon Ape and the others take action, Master Ding, who had been silent for a while, said, “I’ll do it!” After speaking, he soared into the sky, becoming as large as a mountain, and his cauldron mouth began to engulf the Life God Tree.
Suddenly, the ground around trembled and burst open, and the Life God Tree slowly flew out from beneath the ground.
The Demon Ape had never heard of Master Ding’s existence before; staring at Master Ding in the high sky, it was dumbfounded.
Having lived for nearly ten thousand years, it was the first time it had seen a Medicine Cauldron that had developed a spirit.
Just as Yang Xiaotian was collecting the Life God Tree, the immense Bone Mountain also rushed toward the Elf Clan City at an astonishing speed.
Wherever the Bone Mountain passed, the originally lush land turned into a dead grey; all the green grass and great trees seemed to have been drained of their life force, withering instantly.
Even the once clear rivers turned into rivers of deathly aura, with the bodies of all the fish and every living creature floating up.
Xi Yuandong and Xi Mo, who had fled from the Elf Clan City, along with the retreating Elf Clan Army, suddenly saw a colossal Bone Mountain flying towards them from the distant sky.
Feeling the terrifying deathly aura of the giant Bone Mountain, the faces of Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and the others paled.
“It’s the Undying Death Qi!”
“All troops, prepare to meet the enemy!”
Xi Yuandong shouted sharply.
The Bone Mountain approached extremely quickly, reaching Xi Yuandong and the others in the blink of an eye.
As the Bone Mountain drew near, Xi Yuandong and the others felt its overwhelming and infinite Undying Death Qi, and their expressions changed dramatically.
At that moment, the Bone Mountain suddenly split open, and a sinister young man walked out from inside it.
The young man was dressed in a robe filled with deathly aura that swirled endlessly on its surface.
Feeling the young man’s terrifying Undying Death Qi, Xi Yuandong’s expression grew grave.
The young man glanced at the millions-strong Elf Army and smirked at Xi Yuandong, “So you’re the current Elf Queen? At mere Divine Spirit Third Layer. I had never expected the Elf Clan to have weakened so much over a million years.”
Facing the young man, Xi Yuandong found it hard to breathe. She circulated all the Divine Power within her, gripping the Elf Sword tightly in her hand, and asked in a deep voice, “Who might you be?”
“Who am I?” The young man thought for a moment, then laughed, “A million years ago, the people of the Azure God Continent used to call me the Undying Death God.”
“The Undying Death God!” Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and the others cried out, trembling with fear.
Many of the Elf Clan’s experts were so frightened that they dropped their long swords.
“Impossible, the Lord of Azure God had already killed the Undying Death God back then. You can’t possibly be the Undying Death God!” An Elf Clan Ancestor said frantically, shaking his head in disbelief.
Xi Yuandong too was incredulous.
After all, it was clearly recorded in the Divine Tome that the Undying Death God had been killed by the Lord of Azure God.
The young man chuckled, “It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, because very soon, you will become the first batch of Divine Spirits under my command to turn into Death Spirits!” With those words, the Undying Death Qi surged up like a tsunami into the sky.
As the Undying Death Qi inside him rose, even the clouds in the Nine Heavens changed color, turning from white to grey clouds of death. The sky that was clear just moments ago also turned completely ashen.
Behind him, the skulls of the Bone Mountain overwhelmed and swarmed towards Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and the others.
Instantly, screams echoed.
One after another, the troops of the Elf Clan were swallowed by the Bone Mountain.
Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and the others frantically attacked, but they despaired to find that when they shattered these skulls, they would instantly coalesce anew.
These skeletal heads were simply unkillable.
At this moment, Xi Yuandong and the others realized that only by killing the young man could these skulls be vanquished.
“Kill him!” With a determined heart, Xi Mo suddenly lunged forward with a sword thrust at the young man.
Upon seeing this, the young man simply flicked his finger, sending Xi Mo flying with a flick of his finger, crashing into the ground far away, followed by his agonized screams. One could see that his chest had been pierced by the young man’s fingertip force, as the Undying Death Qi voraciously consumed his flesh and even his soul.
