Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1049 - 1047: Trapping and Killing the Octopus Devil Sovereign
Chapter 1049: Chapter 1047: Trapping and Killing the Octopus Devil Sovereign
One after another, strong warriors surged into the ancient path of heaven and earth.
As Long Yi and others passed by Xiao Yi, he paused slightly and grinned, "Xiao Yi, right? If there’s a chance in the future, you should visit my Nine Dragons Valley. I quite admire you!"
"Hmm!"
Xiao Yi nodded with a smile.
Apart from valuing bloodlines extremely, these nine Valley Masters of Nine Dragons Valley
do not have a bad reputation over the vast North Sea.
Shark Dominator’s face was cold, and his eyes sharp as blades as he made a throat-slitting gesture towards Xiao Yi: "Wait and see, your head will belong to me!"
"This Godfall Trench is where your bones will be buried, you..." The Octopus Devil Sovereign was speaking when
suddenly, a crisp snap interrupted his voice.
The Octopus Devil Sovereign was utterly baffled.
He discovered that four of his eight tentacles had been severed by a sword from Xiao Yi, with the cold Sword Qi wrapping around the Red Sky Sword as if it would fall on his head if he uttered another word.
Frightened, the Octopus Devil Sovereign swiftly charged into the ancient path of heaven and earth.
Not daring to linger any longer.
After the lesson dealt to the Octopus Devil Sovereign, others naturally did not dare to provoke Xiao Yi.
They all kept their distance and walked onto the ancient path of heaven and earth, rushing towards the depths of the Godfall Trench, where the Dragon Emperor Tomb was located.
Millions of strong warriors flocked there.
All set foot on the ancient path of heaven and earth.
For a moment.
Above the seas of Godfall Trench, only Xiao Yi, Qiu Yiyun, Ning Delun, and Hua Qianxiu remained.
The three looked at each other.
They approached Xiao Yi.
Hua Qianxiu asked in a deep voice, "Lord Xiao, now that everyone has gone through the ancient path of heaven and earth into the Dragon Emperor Tomb, we must also hasten forward. Otherwise, if we lag too far behind, I’m afraid we won’t be able to catch up with them!"
Xiao Yi replied with a light smile, "No rush!"
"Hmm?"
Hua Qianxiu was puzzled, a trace of confusion on his face.
Qiu Yiyun patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, among us, there is an expert. Let’s hear what the expert has to say!" frёeωebɳovel.com
"Ah? An expert?"
Hua Qianxiu was completely clueless.
An expert in exploring the Dragon Emperor Tomb?
Everyone turned their eyes to Ning Delun.
A proud smile covered Ning Delun’s face. Throughout their journey, he had been a drag like an oil bottle to Xiao Yi, but now he finally had a role to play. He chuckled and said, "Long Yi is correct, under normal circumstances within the Blood Moon Barrier, one can indeed only enter the Dragon Emperor Tomb through the ancient path of heaven and earth. However, what he doesn’t know is that, invariably, ancient tombs will have a secret entrance!"
A secret entrance?
Everyone was taken aback.
This was common jargon among tomb raiders, something they could not comprehend.
"Those big shots naturally would not build their own tombs; it’s generally done by skilled craftsmen. And the more powerful and prestigious the individual, the more suspicious they are. Fearing that the location and mechanisms of their tomb might be deciphered by others, most would choose to take the tomb’s builders to be buried with them after completion!"
Ning Delun continued, "Over time, the skilled craftsmen who constructed the tombs developed a tradition of leaving a secret entrance while building the tomb as a means for their own escape! And I, by coincidence, know the location of the secret entrance to this Dragon Emperor Tomb!"
In the presence of Hua Qianxiu, Ning Delun did not mention that he had once followed a tomb raiding gang and entered the Dragon Emperor Tomb through the secret entrance.
"Old Ning, hurry up and lead us in!" urged Qiu Yiyun.
He saw that on the ancient path of heaven and earth, many strong warriors had already triggered the traps and died there.
This ancient path of heaven and earth, after all, was meant for the dead.
Living people who insist on traversing this path of the dead are courting a near-certain death.
He was not willing to take the risk.
Ning Delun nodded and looked at Xiao Yi: "Lord Xiao, please hand over the water-repelling attire and the ambergris to me!"
"Hmm!"
Xiao Yi casually tossed both the water-repelling attire and the ambergris to Ning Delun.
Ning Delun took the lead in crushing the ambergris, dividing it into four sachets, and simultaneously handing them to the four people.
Then with a wave of his hand.
The water repellent garment suddenly expanded and transformed into a blue circular bubble.
Encapsulating the four of them within.
"Let’s go!"
Ning Delun activated the water repellent garment and plunged directly into the water.
He was surprisingly moving closely along the bottom of the ancient pathway of heaven and earth.
As the water repellent garment continued to dive deeper.
The seawater became more and more abundant around them.
They could clearly sense that above the ancient pathway of heaven and earth, many powerhouses were struggling with all their might against the terrifying death traps, with screams of death coming intermittently.
While they...
Were passing through unimpeded.
Not at all affected by the traps and dangers of the ancient pathway of heaven and earth.
"Is this hidden passage right beneath the ancient pathway of heaven and earth?" Qiu Yiyun looked puzzled, raising her head to look at the pathway above, she could clearly see through it, witnessing scores of powerhouses bloodily battling on the pathway.
Ning Delun nodded and said, "This is the Dragon Emperor Tomb after all; dragons are naturally suspicious creatures, how would they dare to construct another hidden passage elsewhere. Thus, they set up the hidden passage right under the ancient pathway of heaven and earth, unbeknownst to gods or ghosts..."
This secret was something he had inadvertently discovered while fleeing back in his days.
Now it had come into play!
"Stop for a moment!"
Xiao Yi called for Ning Delun to halt. His gaze penetrated the ancient pathway of heaven and earth to see the Octopus Devil Sovereign and the hundreds of the Giant Whale Alliance’s powerhouses cautiously advancing. Looking towards Ning Delun he asked, "Is there a way to trigger the mechanisms near them?"
"No problem!"
Ning Delun smiled with a grin.
With a flick of his finger, a surge of innate power flowed into the ancient pathway of heaven and earth.
Meanwhile.
Above the ancient pathway of heaven and earth.
The Octopus Devil Sovereign, leading hundreds of the Giant Whale Alliance’s powerhouses, advanced cautiously. Fortunate enough to avoid danger along the way, the Octopus Devil Sovereign scoffed disdainfully, "What’s this ancient pathway of heaven and earth claiming to be so perilous, it’s nothing much really!"
"All thanks to Vice Alliance Hierarch’s wise and martial prowess, leading us to avoid countless traps!"
"No matter how strong Xiao Yi and his group are, they’ve been left far behind by us..."
The Octopus Devil Sovereign snorted, a cold look on his face: "Xiao Yi? What is he worth? Once I obtain the legacy within the Dragon Emperor Tomb, by then Xiao Yi, Ji Changkong, all will be trampled under my feet..."
As he was speaking.
Suddenly...
Above the ancient pathway of heaven and earth, a chilly glint was severe, as terrifying storms of destruction silently emerged around them.
"Not good..."
"Quick, dodge..."
Before the powerhouses could even react, they were frozen into ice sculptures.
A cold wind blew, and the ice sculptures shattered.
More than half of the powerhouses led by the Octopus Devil Sovereign were dead or injured, panic-stricken they scattered in all directions, with the Octopus Devil Sovereign being the first to abandon his men and flee desperately.
But no matter where he fled.
The traps followed right there.
Whether it be annihilating cold winds.
Or heaven-scorching fierce flames.
Or world-ending rain of arrows...
Under the relentless bombardment of countless traps and mechanisms, despite the Octopus Devil Sovereign’s formidable strength, he was still destined for a dead-end!
Watching as he was pierced by thousands of arrows, his Primordial Spirit burned by the fierce flames.
Even until his last moment, he didn’t understand how, despite his carefulness in not triggering any mechanism, he was still mercilessly pursued and bombarded by the traps and mechanisms, the Octopus Devil Sovereign’s face filled with confusion and unwillingness.
Xiao Yi and his group continued to dive in the water repellent garment, until another familiar figure appeared in front of them. A hint of cold light flitted through his eyes, and he slowly uttered two words: "Continue..."
