Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 547 The Divine Herb Garden

Ding Hao looked over.

This simple and unadorned stone spear was polished in the most primitive way, which looked like an ancient war spear buried in China for thousands of years. The spearpoint had ochre stone, and its body, with a rough surface, was as thick as a duck egg. Given to a certain magical material used, the spearpoint and its body were intertwined with tree bark-like vines. A part of the spear body was broken, as if it had been broken by a certain great force.

This spear seemed to be a tool used by the primitive people to hunt and would not attract even a beggar’s attention if it appeared in the world outside the Sage Battlefield.

But at this moment, it caught almost everyone’s eyes.

The Demon Royal Bu Tianjue held the broken spear in his hand and threw it in a certain direction.

The broken spear was noiselessly inserted into a ten-thousand-pound boulder next to him.

“How sharp it is!” Ding Hao was also startled.

He failed to smash the rock with all his strength, but the seemingly ragged stone spear had actually managed to pierce it like bean curd. So it was indeed a rare treasure that might be as sharp as a top-grade Precious Weapon.

As the Demon Royal Bu Tianjue waved his hand, the stone spear turned into a beam of white light and returned to his hand.

Surrounded by the surging Demon Aura, the Demon Royal Bu Tianjue scrutinized it carefully and nodded slightly. He lowered his head and asked, “What’s your name? Which tribe do you come from?”

Upon hearing this, the dog-headed Demon King was overjoyed and said respectfully, “Young master, my name is Little Zuanfeng. I’m the sixty-fourth son of the Demon Royal Xiaotian from the Remnant Blood Mountain in your domain.

“OK, you can visit my third library and then become one of my personal bodyguards after we return to the Northern Region. From now on, the Demon Clan of the Remnant Blood Mountain will be free from tribute for ten years.” The Demon Royal Bu Tianjue handed the broken spear to Little Zuanfeng and said, “I’ve already refined this stone spear and it has no restrictions, so you can use it as a weapon!”

“Erm... Thank you so much, young master!” The dog-headed Demon King was wild with joy.

“Attention, the Demon Clan in my domain. Now that you’ve entered this space, you should look for treasures with your own abilities. The treasures will belong to whoever gets them. I definitely won’t spare anyone who dares to kill or rob his kinsmen from the same domain... Of course, I’ll avenge you if any outsider kills or robs you!” The Demon Royal Bu Tianjue’s powerful voice was as loud as thunder.

“How generous and wise you are, young master!”

Several experts of the Demon Clan cheered.

Ding Hao also gasped in admiration in his mind.

The Demon Royal Bu Tianjue had played a shrewd trick, which helped him subdue all the demons and gain the support of numerous experts of the Demon Clan. Although he merely gave small mercies, the talents of the Demon Clan would absolutely feel deeply grateful on account of his noble status. In the future, once he took over the domain, these talented masters, who would have become the leaders of their respective clans by then, would definitely pledge loyalty to him devotedly.

It seemed that he had always looked down upon the Demon Clan.

He had thought that demons of this savage race had been eating raw meat and drinking blood, but he overlooked the fact that the Demon Clan had dominated the Land of Infinity for countless years in history. They had also established various orders and the social structure, creating a civilization that was different from that of the Human Clan. In fact, they were as intelligent as humans.

Ding Hao sharpened his vigilance secretly.

They continued to move forward.

Since the people of the major forces were still afraid of each other, they walked together, never separating.

They made new discoveries in succession.

Someone found a broken stone saber, another found a weathered crossbow that could not shoot, while some others found a broken kitchen knife, a stone stick that looked like a rolling staff, and some strange weapons that looked like farm tools...

Although these weapons had no other power, they were as sharp as the spear Little Zuanfeng had found before.

Unfortunately, since they were just sharp and could not be injected with Qi or the Demon Aura, they could not generate enormous energy.

However, they couldn’t belittle these stone weapons.

Because they were so sharp they could even break the defense of an expert at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm. They could become intimidating trump cards if used properly.

During this period, Ding Hao had also discovered something.

He found a complete stone bow with bowstring, but it had been thoroughly hardened so that it couldn’t be drawn.

He held the stone bow and waved it casually, breaking down the thick stone wall nearby. In view of its might, Ding Hao decided to keep it. It would be a decent weapon if he found a way to soften the stone bow and restore its original appearance in the future.

In addition to the stone bow, Ding Hao also found seven or eight stonework pieces such as stone sabers and stone swords.

In his view, those things were no match for the rusted sword and the devil saber. Useless as they were, they could still be considered as little treasures after all; they could be included in the Precious Weapons of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

After walking for about half a day, they saw more and more ruins.

The ruined cities were like a maze, with streets stretching in all directions, numerous collapsed buildings, dried rivers, fossilized trees, and thick sand... It was like a giant ancient city lost in time and space torrents. Unfortunately, they didn’t see anyone, not even a skeleton all this time!

“Hm?” Ding Hao raised his head and looked into the distance.

He smelled a faint scent of grass.

That was... the smell of divine herbs and medicines.

In the next moment, the Demon Royal Bu Tianjue, the Demon Royal of the Ancient Demon Clan of Silver Moon, Song Que, and Bai Quanshui also discovered something.

Figures started flashing.

The several supreme experts almost simultaneously moved and ran forward in the first place, leaving behind a phantom on the ground.

The place giving off the scent of grass grew divine herbs.

It was said that there was an herb garden left by the deities in the mysterious ruins, in which people could find all the magic herbs and precious medicines that had been extinguished in the rest of the world. Taking just one of them could help a man turn into a saint immediately or to resurrect the dead. Even the experts who were at the end of their lives could enjoy their second lives once they took the herb.

It was indeed hard for martial artists to resist such a temptation.

Since the scent of grass was floating in the wind, it was likely that the divine herb garden was right in front of them.

In the blink of an eye, they could vaguely see a lush green field ahead.

The countless divine herbs were as common as carrots in a vegetable plot.

Their giant bodies indicated that they were at least tens of thousands of years old. Some of them had already grown in the shape of humans, which meant that they were about to become deiform herbs and would possibly develop wisdom in a few years.

Those herbs only grew at the edge of the garden.

It was conceivable to think that some incredible precious medicines were growing in the depths of this herb garden.

The eyes of the experts from the two clans were bright. They ran madly with red eyes, like rabbits seeing a large number of sweet and delicious carrots.

“Damn it, it’s indeed a divine herb garden!” Song Que shouted.

“Haha, incredible divine herbs... We all depend on our own abilities. Whoever dares to stop me will die!” The eyes of the Demon Royal of the Ancient Demon Clan of Silver Moon sparkled with fervor.

The several supreme experts ran as fast as they could.

The experts of the Demon Clan such as the Demon Royal of the Ancient Demon Clan of Silver Moon and the Demon Royal Bu Tianjue even showed their true animal shapes. They sprinted with four hooves and accelerated like the arrows leaving the bow. Although this herb garden had a radius of one or two kilometers, everyone wanted to be the first to rush in.

Su Xiaoxiao, the mysterious woman with flames, Lin Tianyu and some others—who were a little behind those supreme experts—went crazy as well.

The wind was blowing under Ding Hao’s feet, and the scenery receded at a high speed.

Carrying Ji Yingqi on his back, he, like a human-shaped catapult, ran extremely fast. He moved about hundreds of meters once he jumped and was far ahead of others. Ding Hao’s physical strength was comparable to that of a two-apertured Martial Emperor and was second to none among all the top masters, even though his Qi was being suppressed. He maintained a safe lead, even when he carried a person on his back.

However, after releasing his Divine Sense, Ding Hao suddenly noticed something and stopped.

Several figures flashed by him.

In the next moment, four or five clashing sounds were heard.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Among cries of surprise, the other supreme experts who were running wildly bumped into an invisible and transparent Qi wall all of a sudden. They were all caught off guard and shrieked in pain as if they were thrown into the air like drowned mice.

Song Que’s fat and round face nearly became squashed.

The experts of the two major Demon Clans fell to the ground like dogs, seeing stars for several seconds!

“Meow, haha...” Evil Moon burst out laughing while covering his mouth with his hands.

“Oh, my God. Why is there another inscription array restriction here? It hit me so hard...” Song Que stumbled up and covered his face with his hands. “My nose is broken. Ding Hao, you’re not loyal to your friend. You should warn me sooner since you discovered it... it almost killed me! And that damn fat cat, you’re even laughing in disdain. Be careful, I’ll catch you and eat you next time!”

“Fat cat?” Evil Moon sneered and replied, “I’m not as fat as you!”

Song Que was speechless.

Both Ding Hao and Bai Quanshui burst into laughter.

At this point, the air rippled gently.

Then, a thin but incomparably tough transparent Qi wall appeared slowly. It acted like a huge transparent air shield, covering the divine herb garden in front of them, emitting waves of horrible aura that terrified people, as if it possessed a divine power!

It was this indistinct shield that had deterred everyone moments before.

“How horrible this aura is. Perhaps it’s a restriction formation left by deities,” Ding Hao guessed.

The deiform aura released by the air shield became clearer as they approached, driving people to kneel and worship it.

“Bullsh*t, it can’t be something left by deities. Deities wouldn’t have been killed by others...” An annoying voice suddenly resounded in Ding Hao’s mind without warning.

“How wasn’t it left by deities...” Ding Hao asked subconsciously. But he was stunned in the next moment, suddenly realizing something. He became overjoyed and said, “Senior Sword Masters? Are you awake?”
