Chapter 570 - 472: Celestial Demon Soul (Second Update)

"Oh my god, is this the Celestial Demon Womb?"

Li Xian said with a pale face.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Celestial Demon Soul should have emerged from the Demon Embryo!" Yang Tian said coldly, "And this Demon Embryo was clearly placed in the Great Tang by the Celestial Demon; if there are many such Celestial Demon Wombs, it won't take long before the entire Great Tang is invaded by them!"

"Young Master Yang, are you saying there could be more of these Demon Embryos?"

Xu Wenting asked tightly.

"This is something we need to ask Peng Jun, where did they procure these Demon Embryos?"

Yang Tian said.

At the moment, Yang Tian's group of three went to find Peng Jun. After vomiting blood, Peng Jun awoke after a brief rest, and upon seeing Yang Tian's group appear, he immediately stood up: "I've already lost, what do you want to do now?"

"Peng Jun, I am the Third Prince Li Xian!"

Li Xian dissolved his Disguise Technique and revealed his true face.

Pa!

Peng Jun dropped to his knees with a slap: "I couldn't imagine you're the Third Prince; Peng Jun pays his respects to the Third Prince!"

Not just Peng Jun, even Xu Family Seal also dropped to his knees.

"The situation is very serious, Peng Jun, where was this Demon Stone excavated from?"

Yang Tian directly asked.

"At Celestial Pearl Peak!"

"Celestial Pearl Peak?" Yang Tian nodded, turning to Li Xian: "Report to the emperor, have her send people to handle it!"

"Hmm."

Shortly after, Yang Tian and Li Xian returned to the palace to report the Celestial Demon's Demon Embryo to Wu Zetian.

"Really? The Celestial Demon has left numerous Demon Embryos at Celestial Pearl Peak? Are the Celestial Demon Souls inside these Demon Embryos still alive?" Upon hearing this, Wu Zetian looked serious: "I fear if these Celestial Demon Souls come to life, then the Great Tang will be in trouble. Severe consequences could be a portal opening for thousands of Celestial Demons from the domain to rush in, something the Great Tang can't withstand!"

"Master, send me to deal with it!"

Yang Tian knelt down on one knee.

Wu Zetian looked at Yang Tian's handsome face without expression and said: "Hmm, I will personally go with you to handle it!"

"This..."

Yang Tian frowned but shook his head.

If Wu Zetian wants to join, let her.

Half a day later, Yang Tian, Wu Zetian, and Li Xian, along with hundreds of elite cultivators, left the palace heading toward Celestial Pearl Peak.

All the way, Yang Tian kept observing the Jade Pendant Xu Wenting had given him.

Within the Jade Pendant, strangely enough, the Celestial Demon Soul was dead.

Yang Tian placed the Celestial Demon Soul into the Celestial Demon Womb, but it still didn't come back to life.

This made Yang Tian's eyes show a trace of doubt.

After all, just earlier, the Celestial Demon Soul was bouncing alive, ready to pounce out at any moment.

"Yang, what are you looking at?"

Li Xian asked.

Yang Tian handed over the Celestial Demon Womb: "The Celestial Demon Soul inside is dead."

"Dead?"

Li Xian ran his Divine Sense to probe and exclaimed: "What's going on? Half a day ago, wasn't the Celestial Demon Soul inside this womb alive and ready to break out? How did it die so quickly?"

Yang Tian shook his head, even he didn't know.

"Disciple, Xian'Er, what are you discussing?"

Wu Zetian, sitting on the Imperial Bridge Seat, waved for everyone to stop.

"Report, Mother Empress, the Celestial Demon Soul in the Celestial Demon Womb Yang found is dead again."

Li Xian said respectfully.

"Let me see it!"

Wu Zetian commanded.

"Yes!" Li Xian nodded and looked at Yang Tian.

Yang Tian approached Wu Zetian's Imperial Chariot and handed the Celestial Demon Womb to her.

But as Wu Zetian reached to take the Celestial Demon Womb, a mighty glow emanated from within it, and almost instantly, the womb exploded with a bang.

Soon, everything fell silent.

Yet Wu Zetian let out a cry of pain and fell helplessly onto the chariot.

"Master, be careful!"

Yang Tian rushed to support Wu Zetian, finding her face pale and bloodless.

He ran his Divine Sense inside her but found Wu Zetian nearly exhausted.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a light surged from Yang Tian's body.

The light quickly filled into Wu Zetian's body.

Almost instantly, Wu Zetian stood up, clear-minded.

Witnessing this, doubt flashed in Yang Tian's eyes: "Master, you were very weak just now, how did you recover in an instant?"

Speaking, Yang Tian ran his Divine Sense into Wu Zetian.

Soon, to his greater suspicion, he noticed four rings within Wu Zetian's body—these rings were the same as those of the Power Seal in Yang Tian's body.

The Power Seal had absorbed royal power, gathering four rings.

Unexpectedly, these rings transformed into a light, revitalizing Wu Zetian in an instant.

This left Yang Tian somewhat surprised.

Still, Yang Tian said no more, directing everyone to continue the journey.

Soon, they reached Celestial Pearl Peak.

Wu Zetian led the team flying up Celestial Pearl Peak, stopping halfway when they discovered an excavated cave.

"The excavation site mentioned by Peng Jun should be here!"

Yang Tian directed the team to dig.

After half a day's effort, all the Demon Stones within the cave were excavated.

What surprised everyone was that each Demon Stone contained a Demon Embryo, each housing a Celestial Demon Soul.

Yang Tian ran his Divine Sense to probe, finding no trace of Chi flow in these Celestial Demon Souls.

"Disciple, how long have these Celestial Demon Souls remained in these Demon Stones?"

Wu Zetian asked.

"I'm afraid it's at least hundreds of years!" Yang Tian paused, adding, "Moreover, these Celestial Demon Souls have their lives sealed within the Demon Stones. Once the seal is undone, these Celestial Demon Souls may perish quickly!"

Li Xian nodded: "I agree with Yang's statement; the Celestial Demon Soul in Xu Wenting's Jade Pendant was likewise extinguished once the seal was lifted!"

"Hmm."

Wu Zetian also recalled the earlier Demon Stone.

After the Celestial Demon Soul inside died, the Demon Stone exploded, leaving her equally weakened.

"Yang, if that's the case, what should we do next?"

Li Xian asked.

Yang Tian looked at the Demon Stones, waved his hand: "Don't break the seal, transport all the Demon Stones back for centralized processing!"

"Yes!"

Those dozens of samurai nodded, stepping forward to move all the Demon Stones back.

Yet at that moment, a loud rumbling echoed.

A black soul flew into the pile of Demon Stones, and in less than a moment, all the stones exploded. At the sight of this black soul, Li Xian's face changed dramatically: "Wait, isn't this the Celestial Demon Soul from Xu Wenting's Jade Pendant? My god, so half a day ago, it didn't perish, but followed us here... But following us here, what is its intent, could it be..."

Saying this, Li Xian halted, realizing something.

At Li Xian's words, everyone instinctively glanced at the Demon Stones, soon showing expressions of shock: "Oh my god..."
