Chapter 364
The Netherworld Demon Venerable surveyed his surroundings, finding nothing amiss, and whispered, "It seems the Demon Emperor hasn't made his move yet. Once we enter the palace, the princess can seize the opportunity to act!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang understood. She knew perfectly well that regardless of whether the assassination attempt on the Demon Emperor succeeded or failed, the Drunken Immortal Hermit was doomed.
The Netherworld Demon Venerable didn't need to come with them, but he did anyway.
"My greatest wish in this life is to kill the Demon Emperor and avenge myself. As long as we succeed, even if I die, I will have no regrets!"
"If we fail, I will die with you!"
The Netherworld Demon Venerable said solemnly.
"Go in."
The Drunken Immortal Hermit sighed softly, pushed open the hall door, and stepped inside.
Xiao Minghuang and the Netherworld Demon Venerable followed behind.
After the three entered the main hall, they found it empty except for an ancient and solemn throne.
Looking at the empty hall, Xiao Minghuang suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
The next moment, a faint hum came from the void, and then a huge vortex condensed, from which three blurry figures emerged and landed inside the hall.
These three figures, dressed in gray, purple, and red robes respectively, were all masked, their faces obscured, revealing only pairs of dark, murky eyes. They exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Who are you?" the Netherworld Demon Venerable asked cautiously.
The aura of these three individuals was extremely strange, causing the Netherworld Demon Venerable to feel uneasy, as if he were facing some kind of extremely dangerous being!
Xiao Minghuang's beautiful eyes flickered as she warily watched the three figures.
She could sense that these three figures exuded an aura no weaker than that of the Blood Demon Ancestor, making them genuine Earth Immortal powerhouses!
"These three must be the Demon Emperor's Earth Immortal servants. We were a step too late."
The Drunken Immortal Hermit clenched his fist, a hint of resentment in his voice.
Although she was confident in Princess Xiao and that killing the three immortal servants wouldn't be too difficult, it would still require a lot of energy, which would reduce her chances of winning against the Demon Emperor.
The Netherworld Demon Venerable was extremely anxious, but it was too late to say anything now.
"Now that things have come to this, the only option is to fight our way through!"
Xiao Minghuang said with a firm gaze.
"Hehehe... After holding back for so long, I can finally stretch my muscles..."
The gray-robed figure at the head of the group suddenly let out a sinister laugh, "You are not the first, nor will you be the last, to dare challenge the Devil Master, but there will only be one ending for you—death!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The gray-robed immortal unleashed a palm strike, the palm print stretching across the sky with terrifying power, seemingly capable of shattering even the void itself!
This palm strike is enough to blast a supreme being into dust!
"A true Earth Immortal, indeed living up to his reputation."
The Netherworld Demon Venerable's expression changed drastically. He could sense that the destructive power contained in this attack was something he simply could not withstand.
An attack of this magnitude would be difficult for even a Tenth Tribulation Supreme to withstand, let alone someone who is only a Ninth Tribulation Supreme!
But Xiao Minghuang was not afraid at all. Instead, a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips, "You think you can take me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she clenched her right hand, and the ring on her finger extended and transformed into a platinum longsword, which she then swung wildly, unleashing a dazzling curtain of sword light!
The sword and the palm print collided, and an explosive ripple spread outwards!
In an instant, a violent shockwave swept in all directions, instantly filling the entire hall!
"Bang!"
Amidst the ravages of terror, the void cracked open with spiderweb-like black fissures, resembling grotesque ghost faces that devoured everything.
Such a terrifying collision is enough to destroy a hidden paradise!
However, such a terrifying impact only shattered the void of the central Devil Palace, demonstrating the solidity of the Great Dao Laws in this small world.
482. Do you think you can satisfy me?
Numerous and terrifying cracks, like a spider web, covered the entire hall, as if it would completely collapse and disintegrate at any moment.
The Netherworld Demon Venerable and the Drunken Immortal Hermit were protected behind Xiao Minghuang. They only swayed slightly and were not harmed. However, the white jade slabs beneath their feet cracked.
"Such powerful sword intent!"
The Netherworld Demon Venerable stared in astonishment at the longsword in Xiao Minghuang's hand. That sword contained a world-destroying power, seemingly comparable to the Cosmic Great Dao!
He knew that Princess Xiao had killed the Blood Demon Ancestor, but he had never witnessed it himself. Only now, seeing it for himself, did he truly understand how terrifying Princess Xiao was.
After the attack, a faint blush appeared on Xiao Minghuang's pretty face. She did not retreat even half a step, and her aura became more and more intense, as if she was becoming more and more courageous with each battle.
The gray-robed earth immortal retreated violently, his face deathly pale!
He stared at Xiao Minghuang in astonishment, his pupils shrinking, his eyes filled with disbelief. He cried out incredulously, "How is this possible... How could you possibly have such strength?"
He was a dignified Earth Immortal, yet he was defeated by a mere Supreme Being in a single move, and the opponent had only used one sword strike.
This was beyond his comprehension!
As an Earth Immortal, he could naturally see that the woman before him was merely a Twelfth Tribulation Supreme. Although she dared to claim invincibility among Supremes, how could she possibly compare to an Earth Immortal?
This is absolutely unbelievable!
Previously, Xiao Minghuang had just been promoted to the Supreme level and was not yet familiar with his own power. Many of his methods could not be used to their full potential, so he was somewhat at a disadvantage when facing the Blood Demon Ancestor.
But now, Xiao Minghuang has fully adapted to the new power, and coupled with her extraordinary talent and rich combat experience, she has been able to achieve this.
Otherwise, even an ordinary supreme being would find it difficult to achieve this, even after cultivating for thousands of years.
"Hehe, let's see if the three of you can give me my fill today!"
Xiao Minghuang chuckled, a pleased smile curving her lips. She then raised her hand again, and the platinum longsword shone with dazzling starlight. A sharp sword beam roared out, tearing through the sky like a galaxy rushing out, attacking the gray-robed earth immortal.
Upon seeing this, the gray-robed earth immortal's expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned and flew away.
However, the sword was too fast. He had only flown back a few feet when the dazzling sword light descended, heading straight for his chest!
Seeing this, the other two men in black immediately unleashed their magical weapons and rushed towards Xiao Minghuang.
"Hmph, you're asking for death!"
Xiao Minghuang narrowed his eyes slightly, wielded his platinum longsword, and a dazzling galaxy swept out, actually forcing the two back.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the gray-robed immortal dodged Xiao Minghuang's fatal blow, but he was also seriously injured, with a trace of crimson blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered a severe injury.
Damn it!
The gray-robed earth immortal's face was ashen. He had thought that with the strength of the three of them, they could easily defeat their opponent, but he had not expected that the opponent would be so troublesome.
This beautiful woman before me is simply a monster!
A Supreme Being of the Twelfth Tribulation was actually able to cross a major realm and fight head-on against the three Earth Immortals!
"Don't get entangled with her, kill the two Supreme Beings beside her first!"
The Demon Emperor's eyes narrowed, and he immediately shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, the purple-robed and red-robed earth immortals immediately realized what was happening, abandoned Xiao Minghuang, and turned to pounce on the Netherworld Demon Venerable and the Drunken Immortal Hermit.
"Don't run!"
Xiao Minghuang's pretty face turned cold, and with a sharp cry, she shot out like lightning, blocking the two in front of them and once again protecting the Drunken Immortal Hermit and the Netherworld Demon Venerable Lord behind her.
"You two stay behind me and be careful!"
Xiao Minghuang reminded him.
She knew that the Netherworld Demon Venerable and the Drunken Immortal Hermit were far weaker than her, and if it weren't for her protection, they would have perished in the siege of the two Earth Immortals long ago.
Upon hearing this, the Netherworld Demon Venerable and the Drunken Immortal Hermit felt a warmth in their hearts and nodded in unison.
Then, Xiao Minghuang narrowed her eyes slightly, held her sword in her slender hand, and slowly took a step forward.
Her eyes gleamed with a dazzling, sharp starlight, and her aura rose steadily. With each step she took, the entire hall trembled slightly, as if it could not bear the weight of her immense power!
"All of you, come at me together!"
Xiao Minghuang stood proudly, his whole body exuding a terrifying Sha Qi, like a ferocious beast awakening, giving people a suffocating sense of oppression!
"Snort!"
The gray-robed immortal sneered, disdainfully saying, "Little girl, you've got quite the nerve! In that case, I'll send you to the Yellow Springs!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his arms, and a thick demonic mist appeared around him. As it churned and surged, it transformed into all sorts of bizarre demonic shadows, wailing mournfully.
"The Gravewind Bone-Corroding Claw!"
The next moment, the gray-robed earth immortal clasped his hands together, and a dazzling black light burst forth from his palms. Immediately afterward, a series of sharp roars rang out, and a pair of pitch-black claws materialized out of thin air.
Black venom flowed from its claws, highly corrosive, distorting the space around it.
"Boom!"
The Gravewind Bone-Corroding Claw tore through the air, fiercely grabbing at Xiao Minghuang's head, intending to rip her head off!
At the same time.
"The Death Spirit Bead!"
The purple-robed earth immortal gritted his teeth and roared, his body trembling, the surrounding demonic mist churning, and a dense aura of death spreading out.
Above his head, countless Death Spirit Bead floated, releasing a dense aura of death as they pressed down on Xiao Minghuang!
"Blood Demon Devouring Heaven!"
The red-robed earth immortal followed closely behind, unleashing his supreme divine power. Clumps of bloody aura gathered in his palm, and with a sudden slap, the blood cloud surged, transforming into a gaping maw that spewed out boundless suction power, sweeping towards Xiao Minghuang.
"Boom!"
The three Earth Immortals joined forces, their momentum overwhelming and shaking the universe. The power they unleashed was extremely terrifying!
Within this seemingly endless radiance of divine power, one can faintly see flawless golden light. This is the Heaven Realm Origin, the most powerful force in the universe, and a characteristic of Immortal Qi!
In an instant, all three unleashed their deadly attacks.
Their only goal is to completely annihilate Xiao Minghuang, leaving him no way out!
"Princess, please be careful!"
The Drunken Immortal Hermit was watching the battle from behind. When he saw Xiao Minghuang in danger, he immediately said with concern.
"Rest assured."
Xiao Minghuang chuckled softly, took a step forward with her jade feet, and stars lit up around her, their dazzling starlight illuminating all directions, like a vast universe that truly existed, making her appear like a star lord, noble and elegant, as if she were a banished immortal who had fallen from the heavens.
She stood with her sword in hand, her right hand raised, and a dazzling starlight condensed between her jade-like arms, encircling the Nameless Sword Talisman, dreamlike and mesmerizing, filled with unparalleled power.
The Nameless Sword Talisman, shrouded in starlight, suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, so bright that everyone could not open their eyes.
"Cut!"
The next instant, Xiao Minghuang let out a delicate shout, her wrist trembled slightly, and the Star Long Sword slashed through the void, unleashing a dazzling Sword Qi that carried destructive power, directly slashing towards the oncoming Gravewind Bone-Corroding Claw and Blood Cloud Vortex.
"Sizzle..."
In an instant, the Gravewind Bone-Corroding Claw was severed by the Nameless Sword, and the terrifying aftershocks raged, directly destroying it.
Immediately, the blood cloud vortex was also shattered by the Sword Qi and turned into nothingness.
"What?!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the gray-robed earth immortal and the others all had their pupils shrink, their faces filled with astonishment.
The three of them joined forces and unleashed a powerful attack. Not to mention a Supreme Being, even a fellow Earth Immortal would find it difficult to withstand. Yet, in front of Xiao Minghuang, they were as fragile as paper and were defeated in a single move.
Most importantly, Xiao Minghuang is only at the Supreme Twelve Tribulations, so in theory, he shouldn't possess such terrifying strength!
"Not good!"
The next moment, the gray-robed earth immortal and the others reacted and hurriedly retreated.
