Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Returning to the Eternal Burial Ground

The tidal surge of the Sea of Stars, like a beast that swallowed the sky, opened its gaping maw, endlessly engulfing everything within the Sea of Stars; several sect experts who failed to flee in time were drowned by the sea.

They didn’t even have time to scream.

The tide of the Sea of Stars rose too quickly, boundless waves surged towards the sky, covering the sun and threatening to swallow even the stars above.

Although the spaceships of the Myriad Gods Empire were fast enough, the speed of the tidal wave was even faster, furiously chasing after the Empire’s spaceship like a Star Behemoth, relentlessly closing in.

Watching the rapidly approaching giant waves, all the experts of the Myriad Gods Empire turned pale, and Princess Wan Ning’s heart rose to her throat with nervousness.

“You should take my spaceship instead.” Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian brought out the Abyssal Spaceship under the puzzled gazes of Elder Yan and the others.

“A divine-level spaceship?!” Elder Yan was shocked to see Yang Xiaotian’s Abyssal Spaceship.

Yang Xiaotian nodded, then beckoned Princess Wan Ning, Elder Yan, and the others onto his spaceship.

With all his strength, Yang Xiaotian propelled the Abyssal Spaceship into a streak of light that tore through the heavy airwaves, quickly putting distance between them and the starry tidal wave.

Elder Yan and the others, feeling the incomparable speed of the Abyssal Spaceship, were deeply shaken.

Princess Wan Ning was amazed and became even more curious about Yang Xiaotian.

First, there was the Divine Elixir, twelve Sword Hearts, and then the Earth Flame, Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame, Burying Heaven Sword, Demon-Slaying Sword, and now, both the Heartfelt Demon Ape and a divine-level spaceship.

She was truly curious about what other secrets Junior Brother Yang might have.

Under the high-speed flight of the Abyssal Spaceship, everyone finally left the Sea of Stars safely.

After leaving the Sea of Stars and when the spaceship reached the borders of the Myriad Gods Empire, Yang Xiaotian said to Princess Wan Ning, “Senior Sister Wan, I have other matters and can’t take you back to the Myriad Gods Academy.”

Once again, a year had passed, and the Eternal Heavenly Tomb was about to open. He wanted to enter the Tomb to search for the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.

If he hurried to the Eternal Burial Ground now, he would just make it in time.

Upon hearing this, although Princess Wan Ning felt disappointed, she could only bow to Yang Xiaotian in thanks, “Junior Brother Yang, thank you. Without you, Elder Yan and I would not have been able to leave the Sea of Stars.”

Saying this, Princess Wan Ning’s eyes lingered on Yang Xiaotian.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed by Princess Wan Ning’s lingering gaze, Yang Xiaotian laughed, “Senior Sister Wan, you’re too courteous; what I did was merely a small effort.”

Then, under Princess Wan Ning’s watchful eye, he set the spaceship in motion, disappearing into the horizon with the Demon Ape.

Elder Yan and the other experts of the Myriad Gods Empire all bowed respectfully as they watched Yang Xiaotian depart.

Watching Yang Xiaotian’s vanishing figure, Elder Yan felt a lingering sense of emotion.

“Princess, Young Master Yang has already left far behind. Shall we return to the Imperial Capital first?” Elder Yan saw Princess Wan Ning staring blankly in the direction where Yang Xiaotian disappeared and couldn’t help but speak.

But Princess Wan Ning suddenly said, “Elder Yan, what do you think Junior Brother Yang will become in the future?”

Elder Yan was stunned, pondered, and said, “The Eternal God!”

The Eternal God!

Hearing Elder Yan’s reply, Princess Wan Ning’s heart trembled profoundly.

After Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape left, they sped towards the Eternal Burial Ground in the spaceship.

As Yang Xiaotian rushed to the Eternal Burial Ground, Liang Xuan, the Blood Demon Sect Master, and others returned to the great hall of the Corpse Demon Sect.

Seated on the throne in the grand hall was the Undying Death God, surrounded by the preeminent Old Mo of the Corpse Demon Sect.

Liang Xuan and the others prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to even breathe too heavily.

“The Heartfelt Demon Ape of Demon Ape Ridge?” The Corpse Demon frowned upon hearing Liang Xuan and the others’ report.

“Yes, it was the one from Demon Ape Ridge who spoiled our plans.” Liang Xuan hurriedly explained, “He was following a youth in blue clothes.”

“A youth in blue!” The Undying Death God, Corpse Demon, Evil Buddha, Blood Demon, and a host of peerless demons exclaimed in unison, their faces changing, as though they had all been startled at the same time.

Liang Xuan, the Blood Demon Sect Leader, and others saw the change in the Undying Death God’s and Corpse Demon’s expressions; all were astonished and could not understand why the mention of the blue-robed youth had suddenly frightened them so.

“Master Ancestor, what’s wrong?” Liang Xuan asked the Corpse Demon with shock and caution.

The Corpse Demon swallowed and said, “That blue-robed youth, is he about fourteen or fifteen years old?”

“Yes, he looks about fourteen or fifteen,” Liang Xuan replied quickly, then described Yang Xiaotian’s appearance in detail.

Upon hearing Liang Xuan’s description, the Undying Death God and Corpse Demon were certain the blue-robed youth Liang Xuan mentioned was the same one they knew.

For a moment, an assembly of unrivaled demons fell silent.

Even the Undying Death God sat there without a word.

He had not expected to encounter that accursed youth wherever he went.

The first time was in the Eternal Heavenly Tomb, the second time at the Death Sword Tomb, and now Liang Xuan and the others were in the Sea of Stars.

“Are you saying that Princess Wan Ning addressed the youth as Junior Brother Yang?” After a long while, the Undying Death God finally asked.

“Yes, Lord Undying Death God,” Liang Xuan promptly answered. “He must be a disciple of the Azure God Academy.”

“A disciple of the Azure God Academy,” the Undying Death God murmured with uncertainty. “Go and find out more.” Then he dismissed Liang Xuan and the others with a wave of his hand.

Liang Xuan and the rest felt relieved as if pardoned, bowed deeply in gratitude, and then withdrew.

“Lord, the Eternal Heavenly Tomb is about to open. Should we still enter?” the Corpse Demon asked.

The mood of the Undying Death God shifted between light and dark; he was determined to obtain that Eternal Heavenly Coffin.

But what if he encountered that youth again?

Thinking of the “Master Ding” the youth had mentioned, the Undying Death God’s hands involuntarily tightened.

That was an existence of supreme terror that had even slain the Abyssal Master and the Deep Sea Demon Roc.

The more he thought about it, the more alarmed and infuriated he became.

“Enter! Why not enter!” the Undying Death God exclaimed through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with a chilling ferocity. “We must not only enter, but this time we must also find the Eternal Heavenly Coffin!”

“The Life God Tree, have you found out who took it?” he turned to ask the Corpse Demon and others.

“We have found out. It should also be that youth who took it,” the Evil Buddha spoke up.

Hearing this, the Undying Death God’s anger surged even more.

It was that youth again!

Was this youth sent by the heavens specifically to oppose him?

Suppressing his anger, he gradually calmed down. In that case, the Life God Tree was now with that youth.

Thinking about that “Master Ding,” he felt despair in his heart.

Since the Life God Tree was with the youth, it was impossible to retrieve it from him.

But without the Life God Tree, how could he possibly cultivate the Undying God Canon to its ultimate pinnacle in a brief period?

“The Star God Tree,” he muttered to himself.

If he found the Star God Tree, there was still hope.

However, in the world, only the Lord of the Azure God knew the exact location of the Star God Tree. The Lord of the Azure God had left a manual in the Azure God Mansion, and in that manual was written the precise location of the Star God Tree.

It seemed he had to venture into the Azure God Mansion once again!

“Prepare yourselves, we will head to the Eternal Burial Ground tomorrow,” the Undying Death God said, refocusing his thoughts.
