When Demoness Ji saw that Wu Dao's true body managed to kill Ling Xian and return alive, she was both surprised and delighted.
Wu Dao's true body summoned the Hell Suppressing Cauldron and attempted to break through the space here, wanting to bring Demoness Ji back to the Avici Hell.
However, when the Hell Suppressing Cauldron collided with the void, it merely created a ripple and failed to break through the void to create a tunnel to the Avici Hell.
Wu Dao's true body was calm towards this scene and was not surprised at all.
Actually, when he saw that the Demon Kings could not maintain their grotto-heavens in the tomb, he guessed that he would most likely not be able to teleport out of this place.
To be precise, any spatial techniques would not be able to be released in this fiend's lair!
He vaguely thought of a possibility. However, the situation was critical and the two of them were not out of danger yet. He did not have time to think and could only escape with Demoness Ji first.
There were still six Demon Kings from Lingxiao Palace and more than ten from Black Fiend Sect and the other fiend sects. If they joined forces, he could protect himself with the Hell Suppressing Cauldron, but he would not be able to protect Demoness Ji.
"That way!"
Demoness Ji was extremely smart and reacted quickly, pointing to the depths of the ancient city.
Wu Dao's true body did not reply. Extending his arm, he gently wrapped it around Demoness Ji's slender waist and sped forward.
Although Demoness Ji's movement technique was exquisite, she was far inferior to him in terms of speed.
Strangely enough, the ancient city guards ignored Wu Dao's true body and charged towards the Demon Kings from Lingxiao Palace and the seven fiend sects instead.
Wu Dao's true body thought about it and guessed a possibility.
Both he and Demoness Ji had the black incomplete diagram on them. That was the reason why the ancient city guards did not attack them.
The six Demon Kings from Lingxiao Palace had grim expressions.
Their prince was killed by a True Demon under their protection. If the Fiend Emperor Ling Xiao were to find out, the six of them might face punishment.
When they saw Wu Dao's true body and Demoness Ji escape, Demon King Cang Kong and the others did not dare to hesitate as they put away the corpse and chased after them.
Now that the Crown Prince was dead, he could not allow Araki Takeshi to leave alive!
However, in the Devil Cave Ancient City, they couldn't use any secret arts. They could only rely on the power of their physical body and bloodline. Thus, the group of Devil Kings couldn't catch up to Wu Dao's main body.
Moreover, there were countless ancient city guards blocking the way.
Demon King Cang Kong had a complete World Annihilation Demon Diagram on him, so the surrounding ancient city guards would not attack him. However, he could only barely keep up with Wu Dao's original body and not lose him.
The ancient city was way too huge. Wu Dao's true body sprinted for two hours with Demoness Ji before they caught sight of a gigantic palace at the end of the ancient city!
"This should be the World Devastation Devil Emperor's palace. Let's hide inside!"
Demoness Ji said.
Wu Dao's true body and Demoness Ji entered the Fiend Emperor's bedroom and looked around. They could not help but be stunned on the spot.
Stepping into the bedchamber, the first thing that entered his eyes was a spacious hall. There was nothing there except for nine open doors on the walls surrounding the hall.
It was dark and deep inside, leading to unknown places.
Typically speaking, given the layout of a tomb, there was only one way out among the nine doors.
There was a high chance that they would die here if they took the wrong path!
For a moment, the two of them could not be certain.
Demoness Ji said, "If only we had a complete World Annihilation Demon Diagram. There should be some hints."
"What do you mean by a complete World Annihilation Demon Diagram? “
Suddenly, Wu Dao's true body's heart skipped a beat and he asked.
Demoness Ji explained, "Tens of millions of years ago, the World Devastation Devil Emperor died. It's said that when he died, his skin turned into 18 World Annihilation Demon Diagrams that were scattered all over the fiend region."
"Every single demon diagram recorded a portion of the World Annihilation Fiend Sutra. Legend has it that if you can gather all 18 demon diagrams, you'll be able to obtain the complete World Annihilation Fiend Sutra."
"Everyone says that the World Annihilation Fiend Sutra is comparable to a taboo secret manual. However, after so many years, no one has managed to gather all 18 demon diagrams."
Wu Dao's true body frowned slightly and murmured, "There are as many as 18 complete World Annihilation Demon Diagrams?"
"Not exactly,"
Demoness Ji replied, "There are two sections to the World Annihilation Fiend Sutra. Once all nine demon diagrams are gathered, a complete section will appear."
"Nine?"
The eyes of Wu Dao's true body lit up.
Demoness Ji did not notice the abnormality of Wu Dao's true body and took out a black incomplete diagram from her storage bag. "Unfortunately, I only managed to scam one out of him."
Wu Dao's true body said, "What a coincidence. I have eight with me."
He had a demon diagram to begin with. Later on, when he hunted down a few young masters of the fiend sects, he obtained seven demon diagrams and had a total of eight.
Together with the demon diagram in Demoness Ji's hands, there were a total of nine!
"Ah!"
Demoness Ji exclaimed softly with a surprised expression.
The moment Wu Dao's true body took out the eight demon diagrams, the one in Demoness Ji's hands left her hands automatically and connected with the eight demon diagrams.
Unfortunately, there was no World Annihilation Fiend Sutra on them, only a series of markings that resembled a map.
Demoness Ji said, "I heard that Fiend Emperor Ling Xiao had nine incomplete diagrams that formed the first section of the World Annihilation Fiend Sutra. That was also the reason why he was able to ascend to the throne."
"However, something happened to the incomplete diagrams this time round and the fiend sutra on them disappeared. That was why Fiend Emperor Ling Xiao handed the first section to Fiend King Cang Kong and had him bring people here to investigate."
Looking at the markings on the nine demon diagrams, Wu Dao's true body suddenly said, "This map looks like this palace. According to the instructions on it, we should take the second palace door on the left!"
Demoness Ji also noticed the directions on the demon diagrams and was delighted. "Let's go!"
Wu Dao's true body and Demoness Ji moved and charged through the second palace door on the left, disappearing before long.
With the demon diagrams, Fiend King Cang Kong would not be stopped by the ancient city guards and was the first to arrive.
Stepping into the palace, he could not help but frown when he saw the same nine palace doors.
The palace was empty and there was no one in sight.
It was clear that Araki Takeshi and Demoness Ji had escaped into one of the nine palace doors. Since Fiend King Cang Kong could not determine where they were, he did not dare to barge in recklessly.
He could only guard the entrance of the palace and wait for the others from Ling Xiao Palace to catch up.
After a while, Fiend King Lu Cang and the others finally broke through the blockade of the ancient city guards. They were covered in blood and panting heavily.
It took them two hours just to advance without any obstructions.
Despite the endless ancient city guards surrounding them, they had indeed expended quite a bit of energy after fighting for more than two hours.
Strangely enough, the ancient city guards stopped in their tracks when they arrived before the palace – none of them dared to barge in!
Even though they were already dead, in their final wills, this was a forbidden ground that could not be trespassed!
Black Heavens Fiend God and the other Fiend Kings had also carved out a path of blood and finally arrived at this place.
Everyone consumed a few immortal elixirs and adjusted their breathing. Given their physiques and bloodlines, they could recover quickly.
