In White Bone City!
The Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor, who was gripping the hilt of the Immortal Slaying Sword tightly, did not have the courage to draw the Immortal Slaying Sword again. He allowed the three of them to escape White Bone City with the help of the top-notch escape talismans.
Then, the Heaven Punishing Demon Emperor put away the Immortal Slaying Sword and looked down at Yu Haoran, who was standing in front of the ancient city gates, with a kind smile on his face.
"Junior Yu Haoran pays his respects to Senior Heaven Punishing!" Seeing the Heaven Punishing Demon Emperor's gaze, Yu Haoran quickly flew in front of him and greeted him respectfully.
"Young man, why don't you call me Master anymore?" The Heaven Punishing Demon Emperor asked with a smile.
"Senior, although this junior has accepted your legacy, I have not agreed to kowtow to you and become your disciple."
Yu Haoran answered honestly. The Heaven Punishing Demon Emperor was not angry at all.
"At the same time, you did not believe me when you were trapped in the bone pagoda. Therefore, I could only use white lies to help you escape the bone pagoda and deal with the impending danger."
"Young man, the moment I escaped the bone pagoda, I already knew that you were lying to me."
Hearing Yu Haoran's explanation, the Heaven Punishing Demon Emperor's eyes flashed with a hint of loneliness.
"Because you have already walked on your own path of martial arts, your future achievements will definitely surpass mine. I, the Heaven Punishing Demon Emperor, am not qualified to guide your cultivation, let alone be your Master."
"Senior, you can't say that …!" Yu Haoran could feel the Heaven Punishing Demon Emperor's arrogance dissipating. He knew that the Heaven Punishing Demon Emperor was losing his Dao Heart to continue climbing to the peak of martial arts.
However, the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor waved his hand and interrupted him before he could finish his words.
"Young man, I know the real condition of my body. Therefore, you don't have to waste your breath comforting me."
"Senior, other than having a certain level of achievement in the Martial Dao, this junior is also an Alchemy Emperor Realm Alchemy Master. I can refine many Alchemy Emperors that have already been lost."
Yu Haoran didn't give up on persuading him just because the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor had waved his hand to interrupt him. Instead, he hoped that he could use his abilities as a pill emperor to revive the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor's gradually extinguishing dao heart.
After all, the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor's legacy was one of the key reasons why he was able to walk his own martial path and successfully create his own Heaven's Mandate Mental Cultivation Method.
"Therefore, the flesh, soul, and lifespan that were devoured by the Immortal Execution Sword, this junior can use the pill to retrieve them for you."
Yu Haoran's persuasion and assurance made the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor feel very gratified. However, when he thought about his own condition, he couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. Then, he asked solemnly.
"Young man, do you have any treasure that can isolate one's aura?"
"Yes!"
At the same time, Yu Haoran took out a wooden box specially used to store divine artifacts from his storage ring.
After opening the wooden box, the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor reluctantly placed the Immortal Extermination Sword into the wooden box.
Just as his right hand that was holding the scabbard separated from the Immortal Extermination Sword, the vitality in the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor's body started to drain rapidly.
"Senior, what are you doing?" Yu Haoran's expression changed when he saw the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor's white hair falling rapidly, the skin on his hand drying rapidly, and his cultivation dropping directly to the Martial Saint Realm.
The Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor shook his head gently at Yu Haoran. After he took out the Immortal Extermination Sword with his trembling right hand, the skin on his hand became plump again and his cultivation instantly returned to the peak of Emperor Wu's third grade.
The only thing that didn't recover was his white hair.
"Young man, do you understand now?" The Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor, who had returned to his peak state, asked bitterly.
"Senior, I understand now!" Yu Haoran nodded, indicating that he understood.
As the saying goes, when things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction.
Although the Immortal Extermination Sword would devour one's flesh, soul, and lifespan, the Immortal Extermination Sword would also absorb the essence of life that it had devoured while being concealed by the scabbard to maintain the life of the Immortal Extermination Sword's wielder. It was also a pitiful life-saving opportunity.
However, there was a limit to how much life could be maintained. Not only did the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor have to hold the Immortal Extermination Sword tightly, but he also couldn't continue to use the sword's sword energy.
Otherwise, with the little life left in the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor, he would be completely devoured and his soul would be destroyed before the Immortal Extermination Sword could be drawn out of the scabbard.
After understanding the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor's true condition, Yu Haoran felt pity for him and was even more concerned about his future.
After all, even if he didn't use the Immortal Extermination Sword, the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor, Emperor Wu's peak third grade cultivation coupled with his self-created Universal Massacre Sword Technique was enough to easily defeat Emperor Wu, a peak fifth grade expert. He would still be one of the top experts in the Profound Sky Continent for a short period of time.
The Great Emperor Qin's Kingdom and the Prince's Mansion lacked experts like the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor who could suppress the weak.
"Back then, when I was suppressed in the Bone Pagoda by Emperor Wu of the Four Great Guardian Families, I sacrificed a thousand years of my lifespan to completely sever my connection with the Immortal Extermination Sword. Then, I hoped to use my monstrous talent in the martial way to break through to the Martial God Realm and refine the Immortal Extermination Sword again."
The Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor, who had taken back the Immortal Extermination Sword, reached out to caress the ancient scabbard. Flames of anger gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Now, all of this has been destroyed by the Four Spirit Emperors of the Four Great Guardian Families."
The Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor suddenly raised the sword into the air. His robes fluttered in the wind as he swore at the top of his lungs.
"I, the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor, swear by the laws of heaven that before my life comes to an end, I will use all my strength to kill every single member of the Four Great Guardian Families."
Although the laws of heaven that had fallen into a deep slumber would definitely not respond to the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor's oath, Yu Haoran already knew the other party's determination from the way he swore the oath just now. Thus, he completely extinguished the idea of roping him into the Prince's Mansion.
After swearing at the top of his lungs, the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor gradually calmed down. Then, he looked at Yu Haoran with an apologetic expression.
"Young man, it was because of your timely reminder that I was able to break through the suppression of the Bone Pagoda in advance. It was also because of the spirit stones and spirit veins that I was able to successfully break through to the peak of the Third Grade Emperor Wu Realm and obtain the strength and opportunity to take revenge."
"It's just that the suppression of the Bone Pagoda for thousands of years has already caused me to use up all of my collection. Thus, I don't have anything to repay you with."
"Senior, with this junior's ability as a Pill Emperor, it's easy for me to obtain as many spirit stones and spirit veins as I want. Therefore, you don't have to worry about those spirit stones and spirit veins at all."
As Yu Haoran waved his hand to console the Heaven Punishing Devil Emperor, he pointed at the millions of skeletons below and asked.
