Chapter 226: Chapter 203: The Demon God Appears Again!_2

"It can only be recast in another form, becoming a brand-new Battle Armor—"

"Demon Armor."

"..."

Wu Xiaode frowned.

There was no time to stay here any longer.

"Chi Xiao, let’s go."

He whispered.

"Let’s go," replied the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit.

A flash of Sword Qi passed.

Wu Xiaode disappeared from this skeletal world.

...

Death Demon Cave.

A flash of Sword Qi passed.

Wu Xiaode’s figure appeared.

"Nina!"

He shouted loudly.

After waiting a moment.

A small head peeked out from the cave.

Upon seeing him, Nina exclaimed with joy, "Did you win?"

"Yes," Wu Xiaode nodded.

Nina crawled out of the cave and rushed straight toward him.

"Don’t touch me! I’m on the verge of death, a single touch could knock me down," Wu Xiaode hastily said.

Nina skidded to a stop in front of him and immediately began to pull open his shirt.

"You said it was Demon Armor, but this is obviously Elf Armor!" she said.

Wu Xiaode, having fought continuously for several battles, was extremely exhausted and couldn’t resist her, so he quickly said, "Never mind that, I have a question that I need to ask you immediately."

"Ask away," said Nina.

"Do you know of Sin Prison?" Wu Xiaode ventured.

"Yes, it’s a place specifically for imprisoning ultimate evil beings. Every entity imprisoned there is among the most vicious and evil in all the worlds," Nina replied.

"Is your world close to the Sin Prison?" Wu Xiaode asked further.

"How could it be? Our Auffa Country is the strongest sword and magic world among the Fairy Star Nebula, separated by hundreds of millions of worlds from the terrifying Sin Prison!" Nina said.

Wu Xiaode frowned slightly.

He had suspected this from the beginning.

The Sin Prison contained endless parallel worlds.

—Since it’s a parallel world, the fundamental structure wouldn’t stray too far from World No. 1666 and World No. 5432.

Nina and her attendants clearly didn’t belong to his world.

Why was this so?

Now at last, he knew the answer.

—They came from a world outside the Sin Prison.

Wu Xiaode was about to continue questioning when the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit suddenly trembled and buzzed, "Be careful, other Demon Gods are on their way!"

"—You can’t let them see that you are a soul that has awakened the Power of Death!"

Wu Xiaode’s expression changed, but he composed himself and said, "With all the commotion just now, I knew they’d be alerted."

He reached out and grabbed another long sword from the Void.

Desert Sword.

According to the escapee—

This sword was his only chance for survival.

After all, the Learning Type Demon King knew far too much!

Now he couldn’t reveal his identity as a human from the Sin Prison, nor could he display the traits of a Bright Ghost.

He had to take a gamble!

"Desolate, use your third move," Wu Xiaode said.

The long sword vibrated, emitting multiple blurry shadows that enveloped Wu Xiaode.

"Eternal Terracotta Body: Transforms the Sword Holder into an existence from countless ages ago, unsusceptible to any current laws."

Wu Xiaode felt his whole body gradually losing sensation.

His body seemed to be getting very hard...

Clang!

He tapped his arm.

—Ceramic!

Had he turned into a porcelain figure?

The Book of the Dead displayed a row of ice crystal letters:

"In your current state, you are not subject to any laws."

Not subject to laws.

What difference would that make?

Wu Xiaode looked down and saw his body full of cracks.

—Even as a ceramic, he was still in a dying state!

Suddenly.

The Void flashed, and a cold beauty in a black dress quietly appeared.

Black Dragon!

With uncertain surprise, she glanced at Wu Xiaode and then swept her gaze around the entire Death Demon Cave, whispering softly,

"Impossible... You took down the One-eyed Giant?"

Wu Xiaode’s thoughts raced.

—The death of a Demon God would surely be a big deal for the entire Demon God Cave.

Given the situation, relying on petty tricks was not an option.

Besides, his own name was still evolving and couldn’t be used.

So he said,

"Roll back and call your person-in-charge out," he stated indifferently.

The Black Dragon suddenly turned its head, its eyes transforming into vertical pupils as it glared at him, and harshly said:

"You’re seeking death!"

Wu Xiaode planted his sword into the ground, speaking unhurriedly, "You guards of the prison are often engaged in underhanded trades, allowing outsiders to enter for the thrill of the hunt. This is something we all know about."

"But this time, you’ve stirred up trouble."

Boom—

The long sword trembled.

A majestic and surging Sword Qi emanated from the blade.

Small ice crystals appeared on the Book of the Dead:

"You’ve channeled all 4.1 million Soul Power into the long sword, ready to unleash the Secret Sword ’Long Moon Sparse Shadows’ at any moment."

"The Secret Sword is ready to be activated at any time."

"Maintaining the current state, where the Secret Sword can be unleashed at any time, will consume 100 points of Soul Power per second."

points of Soul Power per second!

The chilling sword wind swept through the entire Death Demon Cave, making a continuous scraping sound against the walls.

Wu Xiaode glanced at the Corpse Mountain.

Whoosh—

The sword wind passed over it.

The Corpse Mountain was immediately cleaved into two.

The fury of the Black Dragon vanished in an instant.

This swordsmanship... it seemed like there was no way to counter it.

Who on earth was this man?

Suddenly.

A voice echoed from mid-air:

"I’m sorry, I’m a step late," said a plainly dressed middle-aged man as he quietly appeared.

—That Learning Type Demon King!

He kept sizing up Wu Xiaode, with the confusion on his face growing deeper.

"May I ask why you want to kill our prison guards?" he inquired.

"Damn it!" Wu Xiaode cursed, "The person beside me is Princess Nina of the Fairy Star Cloud Auffa Country; you must be out of your minds, daring to let a damned prison guard eat her!"

He was so weak that he could not lift his sword and had to keep it propped on the ground, turning his head to glance at Nina.

Nina was quick-witted, stepping forward immediately and said with a scared face:

"Commander of the guard, is this the prison?"

"Of course, it’s a prison."

Wu Xiaode’s gaze turned deep as he stared at the middle-aged man across from him and said:

"You’ve established interrogation chambers in various parallel worlds, sometimes allowing outsiders to come in to kill prisoners for entertainment—"

"Of course, that’s nothing to us; we don’t care about it."

"But you’ve directly captured outsiders to kill them, and that’s crossing the line."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Your Highness may be mistaken. We have a heavy responsibility here guarding the prison, and we absolutely do not have any contact with the outside world."

Wu Xiaode grinned and said, "32°20′N, 64°45′W; underground: 135.12 meters."

"Don’t bother explaining, I know a lot about these kinds of dealings."

"But how do you have the guts to target our empire’s princess?"

"—What a brilliant idea, to assassinate the princess without leaving any trace, ensuring not even her soul could be found, only to let her die in the prison."

"Who paid for it?"

The middle-aged man was stunned.

A flicker of panic also passed through the eyes of the Black Dragon.

That’s right!

That coordinate was the location of an interrogation chamber set up in a parallel world, usually used for outsiders to enter.

Just pay the price, and you could come in to torment and kill a prisoner!

This was how the Demon Gods made their wealth.

Wu Xiaode also met Ulysses there for the first time!

Nina’s face turned pale, and she couldn’t help but look up at Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode nodded to her slightly.

The entire affair was crystal clear—

As the empire’s princess, how could she have encountered an assassination out in the open and ended up in the Death Demon Cave?

—She was not a prisoner in the jail at all!

It must have been someone’s plan to eliminate her in one fell swoop.

Everything was laid bare.

Wu Xiaode looked again at the Demon God opposite him.

A single strike with 4.1 million Soul Power could kill the Black Dragon, but not slay it.

But he must keep that strike ready here.

That way, the opponent would neither see through his true strength nor identify his race and origin, keeping them cautious.

"I apologize, I am truly sorry, there must have been some mistake," the middle-aged man said with remorse.

"Tell me the name of the person who wanted to kill the princess, and we’ll consider the matter closed," Wu Xiaode demanded.

The middle-aged man immediately shook his head and responded, "You might not be aware, Your Highness, but we generally do not interact with the outside world. Only the One-eyed Giant is responsible for external contacts—"

"He was temporarily recruited to handle these affairs."

"So we really don’t know anything about these matters."
