2540 Great Empress Nine Nether



Before the two of them could react, the gigantic black axe slashed down once more, as though it would not stop until the two of them were dead!

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud bang, the Hell Suppression Tripod's handles pierced the bottom of the coffin and cracks appeared on the ground.

The figures of the Martial Dao Prime Body and Demoness Ji suddenly sank.

"Mmm?"

The expression of the Martial Dao Prime Body changed.

Suddenly, he realized that the chamber was not on the ground and there seemed to be another world beneath!

Without hesitation, the gigantic black axe could slash down once more at any moment. The Martial Dao Prime Body took a deep breath and exerted strength in his legs, stomping his feet!

Bang! Boom!

The ground beneath their feet had long been shattered by the Hell Suppression Tripod. Now that the Martial Dao Prime Body stomped on it, it collapsed instantly and the two of them and the Hell Suppression Tripod fell rapidly.

The surroundings were dark. However, after entering this space, the Martial Dao Prime Body and Demoness Ji felt the power that was initially suppressed on their Essence Spirits dissipate at the same time!

The space beneath the chamber seemed to have escaped the range of the Fiend Emperor's tomb and divine powers and secret skills could be released.

The two of them stabilized themselves hurriedly and the Martial Dao Prime Body was relieved.

As long as he broke free from the restrictions of the Fiend Emperor's tomb, he could make use of the Hell Suppression Tripod to break through the void and escape with Demoness Ji.

However, he was in no hurry. Instead, he retracted the Hell Suppression Tripod and looked up through the entrance of the chamber above him.

The strange thing was that the incomparably ferocious gigantic black axe that was chasing him to the ground of the chamber came to a sudden stop.

After a brief pause, the gigantic black axe turned and left, vanishing!

The actions of the gigantic black axe caused the Martial Dao Prime Body to frown. He felt that something was amiss and felt uneasy.

It was pitch-black beneath the chamber. Even with the eyesight of the Martial Dao Prime Body, he could only see around ten feet in front of him.

Although he could release his spirit consciousness, the range of his detection could not exceed ten feet.

The two of them descended slowly and nothing could be seen around them. It was extremely quiet and dead.

Thankfully, not long after, the two of them landed on the ground once more and felt slightly relieved.

"What was up with the Destruction Axe earlier on?"

Demoness Ji could not help but ask, "It was buried for tens of millions of years. To think that it could release such a terrifying power right after escaping."

"It's probably related to that Apocalyptic Fiend Diagram."

The Martial Dao Prime Body said deeply, "You once said that Fiend Emperor Apocalypse died and his skin scattered before his death, forming 18 incomplete diagrams."

"I'm guessing that the aura of Fiend Emperor Apocalypse is still lingering on the fiend diagrams. That was why the guards in the ancient city did not dare to attack us."

"The Destruction Axe only awakened completely after it sensed the aura of Fiend Emperor Apocalypse as well."

Demoness Ji was still puzzled and asked, "However, why would the Destruction Axe attack us? Did the Apocalyptic Fiend Diagram change this time round so that it could lure us here to awaken the Emperor weapon?"

The Martial Dao Prime Body shook his head.

He had many questions about this matter as well.

However, he could guess one thing. If he was not wrong, the Apocalyptic Fiend Diagram in the hands of Fiend King Hidden Space and the others should be guiding them to another Emperor weapon, the Flames of War Spear.

As for those Fiend Kings, they would also face the attacks of the Flames of War Spear!

The two of them walked together and scanned ahead slowly.

Suddenly, Su Zimo thought of something and asked, "Right, I noticed that your movement technique is a little special and your bewitchment technique is even stronger than before. Did you obtain any opportunities?"

Ever since the Green Lotus True Body ascended, he had obtained countless opportunities and encounters before cultivating to become a Grade 7 Heaven Immortal.

As for Demoness Ji, she was actually a Grade 5 Heaven Immortal right now. It was clear that she had obtained unimaginable opportunities as well!

Of course, what surprised the Martial Dao Prime Body even more was that Demoness Ji's movement technique was extremely similar to the black-robed woman he faced when he received the True Martial Tenth Tribulation.

Demoness Ji nodded. "I obtained the inheritance memories of an ancient Great Emperor."

"Wha—"

The Martial Dao Prime Body was speechless.

The Green Lotus True Body merely obtained the tripod Hell Suppression Tripod and the Taboo Mystic Classic within. As for Demoness Ji, she obtained the inheritance memories of an ancient Great Emperor directly!

The Green Lotus True Body was cultivating the Prajna Nirvana Sutra and often encountered questions. Up till now, he still had two secret skills that he could not comprehend completely.

However, no one could explain it to him and he could only figure out his cultivation on his own.

On Demoness Ji's side, it was equivalent to a Great Emperor imparting the Dharmic Dao personally—how could her cultivation speed not be fast?!

"Which Great Emperor was it?"

The Martial Dao Prime Body asked.

Throughout history, there had not been many Great Emperors recorded together. Up till now, he had only heard of two.

Demoness Ji said, "According to this Great Emperor, she was in an extremely ancient era. You might not have heard of her, but she's known as Great Empress Nine Nether!"

"Great Empress Nine Nether…"

The Martial Dao Prime Body murmured softly and asked, "Is Great Empress Nine Nether a woman?"

"Yes."

Demoness Ji nodded and looked at Su Zimo in surprise.

After all, it was difficult to associate the title of Great Empress Nine Nether with a woman.

The Martial Dao Prime Body asked again, "Does this woman wear black and wield a long sword?"

"How do you know?"

Demoness Ji's face was filled with disbelief.

"It was a coincidence that I was lucky enough to witness this senior's glory in the past." The Martial Dao Prime Body did not explain in detail.

Demoness Ji said, "This senior is a woman. Before she became a Great Emperor, she was known as the Nine Nether Pure Maiden. The Nine Nether Pure Maiden Sutra she created is one of the Taboo Mystic Classics."

The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded.

It seemed like Demoness Ji had already learned the Taboo Mystic Classic!

Right then, Demoness Ji did not notice and staggered, almost falling. The Martial Dao Prime Body supported her hurriedly.

"What is it?"

Demoness Ji frowned slightly and looked down.

Earlier on, she felt like she had kicked something.

A dark yellow mud bump appeared on the ground beneath her feet, looking extremely abrupt like a tomb.

Demoness Ji harrumphed softly and stomped twice heavily, muttering, "How dare you trip me!"

Right then, Demoness Ji paused in her actions and froze on the spot, her flawless face filled with fear!

"What's wrong?"

The Martial Dao Prime Body sensed Demoness Ji's abnormality but did not think too much about it and merely asked casually.

After all, Demoness Ji was quirky and playful. Perhaps she had faked this scene on purpose.

"S-Su Zimo… I-I… Someone just blew a-at the back of my h-head!"

Demoness Ji's voice was trembling and she even sounded like she was about to cry. It was clear that she was extremely afraid and her expression did not seem fake.

However, the Martial Dao Prime Body did not sense any danger in the surroundings nor did his spirit perception warn him.

"Hehe!"

Right then, a sinister laughter sounded out of nowhere beside the two of them!

"Miss, you've stepped on my tomb…"
