Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 993: The Demon Kingdom Gives In (1)

Editor: Henyee Translations

Earth Immortal Realm experts could enter the astral winds at an extremely fast speed. The could even travel the entire vast Yuhua Shen Dynasty and return in half a day. The demon kings were even faster. Some of them were extremely good at escaping and instantly jumped thousands of miles away.

Although Shen Ping had comprehended the Sword Dao and had many methods of true soul power, he did not have the innate teleportation ability of a strange beast. He could only chase after two or three of them, and he could not kill the other demon kings.

Even so, this battle record was already incomparably shocking. When he returned to the city walls, Yue Zhu, Deputy General Chen, and the others looked at him as if he was a monster. They did not speak for a long time. The beautiful twins’ eyes were filled with admiration.

The four generals, who were rapidly deploying their army, rushed over.

“Where’s the Demon Nation army?!”

No one made a sound. The four battalion commanders frowned and were about to flare up when they saw the corpses of the Demon Nation’s army outside the city wall. They could not help but stand rooted to the ground.

“Who, who killed them?”

After a long while, they asked the question. Still, no one said anything, but everyone looked at Shen Ping. The generals of the four legions were stunned. They knew that the young man in embroidered clothes in front of them was the legitimate son of the Marquis of Zhenbei. However, he had only just broken through to the seventh realm. How could he kill 100,000 demon soldiers of the Demon Nation? Even if he had reached the eighth realm, it was impossible.

But the facts were right in front of them. Other than the young marquis, it couldn’t be these guards on the city wall!

News of the northern border had already spread. Emperor Yu looked at the information and stood at the peak of the mountain in silence for a long time. Even he could not kill the 100,000 demon soldiers of the Demon Nation alone. Otherwise, he would have done so long ago.

“Could it be that there’s a legend of the ninth realm behind it?” He guessed in his heart. In the entire Demon Kingdom and Yuhua Shen Dynasty, there were only Eighth Realm Immortal Realm experts. At most, there were some old monsters who were very close to the Ninth Realm, but they definitely didn’t break through to the Ninth Realm. That level only existed in legends.

But now, the Marquis of Zhenbei had done it alone. It really shocked Emperor Yu. It was simply unbelievable. No matter how powerful the sword technique was, it was already the limit to destroying thousands of demon soldiers, at least since the Yuhua Shen Dynasty was established, even the previous Divine Dynasty had never seen such an unbelievable situation.

“There’s definitely a secret in the Marquis of Zhenbei!” Emperor Yu pondered. Back then, the one who tested his bloodline and bone structure was an elder of Seeping River Academy. The first time, he might make a mistake, but the second time, he was fully prepared. How could he make a mistake then? Therefore, the Marquis of Zhenbei’s aptitude was indeed ordinary when he was three years old.

For some reason, after being silent for more than ten years, he shocked the world. Obviously, there was external interference during this period. He was an eighth-realm immortal, so he knew very well that even if he exhausted all his precious medicines, he would not be able to help him change his fate. Only those at the legendary ninth-realm could do it.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yu’s eyes flickered with excitement. Legend had it that the ninth realm could allow one to live forever. Since ancient times, generations of emperors had been pursuing that legend. Unfortunately, no one could break through. Even if they lived for a long time, they could not escape the corrosion of time and turned into bones.

But now, there was such an opportunity.

“Pass down the order. The Marquis of Zhenbei has contributed greatly to resisting the attack of the demon kingdom. He has killed 100,000 demon soldiers. His contribution is unparalleled. He is specially given a set of Feather Forest Armor.” He smiled and said, “I heard that he really snatched away the two twin beauties from the King of Dongchang?”

From the shadows behind, a voice said, “Yes.”

“Interesting. Young and flirtatious. Since that’s the case, I’ll give him the ten foreign beauties that were given by Nanyue Kingdom. However, these ten beauties will be placed in Seeping River Academy. Fairy Li Jiang, who’s ranked third on the Cosmos Ranking, is devastatingly beautiful. If this Marquis of Zhenbei is really flirtatious, he’ll go to Seeping River Academy. Once they meet, perhaps a different story will happen. Haha, let’s see what that Palace Master will choose then!

“In addition, you must find out why the Marquis of Zhenbei wants to marry the Sword Seed of the Sword Whisper Tower.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

As the shadow disappeared, all that was left on the peak of the mountain was the fluttering cold wind.

After receiving the news, the Sword Master’s pupils constricted, “How did he do it?”

The Sword Son in charge replied, “It is said that the Marquis of Zhenbei stood on the wall of the main building and activated his sword intent, condensing thousands of sword lights. In an instant, he killed all the hundred thousand demon soldiers of the Demon Kingdom. Then, he chased the demon king for thousands of miles and finally killed three demon kings. The rest fled.”

The Sword Master said, “Only by stepping into the realm of the Sword Dao can one condense the sword light at will. Could it be that this Marquis of Zhenbei comprehended the Sword Dao at the age of 17?”

He laughed involuntarily. How is that possible? Sword Dao was the ultimate sword technique. Not to mention an Earth Immortal, even an Immortal like him, who had been immersed in sword techniques for thousands of years, could not do it. After all, the Sword Dao was illusory. Regardless, no matter what method he used, it was obvious that the other party’s strength was not just that of a new Earth Immortal.

The Sword Son said hesitantly, “Tower Master, there’s one more thing. After the Marquis of Zhenbei arrived in the north, he met with the King of Dongchang…”

The Sword Master frowned when he heard that. “Such a playboy. It’s a young man’s habit. If I don’t deal with it as soon as possible, I’m afraid there will be a rift in my heart. By the way, have you found Sword Son Yu?”

“Yes.”

“Currently, she’s trapped in the Northern Ice Plains of the Demon Nation. There’s no danger for the time being. After this incident, I think the Demon Nation won’t dare to target Sword Son Yu.”

“Then think of a way to rescue her and get her to bring the Sword Seed of the Sword Whisper Tower to his door. This child has a relationship with the Sword Whisper Tower. We can’t let other forces rope him in.”
