2303 Fiend Saber
The Martial Dao Prime Body looked over.
It was a circular hall with a radius of a few thousand feet. The walls were pitch-black and smooth without any signs of being cut by weapons or axes, as though it was formed naturally.
In this maze, the Martial Dao Prime Body had seen many similar circular halls along the way. Their structures were similar but they were different in size.
Right then, a thought flashed through the mind of the Martial Dao Prime Body.
The maze they were in had a complicated terrain with ravines that formed tunnels that extended in all directions. The outline of the structures seemed like a gigantic ant nest!
This maze was clearly different from the space where they first fell.
Be it the terrain, environment or the living beings of Hell within, there was a clear difference.
The Martial Dao Prime Body entered this ant nest through a secret passage. The Hell Hounds that were chasing them did not step foot into this place, as though they were restricted or wary.
At the same time, there were no traces of Hell Ants in the space of the Hell Hounds.
That was strange.
Why were the boundaries divided so distinctly in Avici?
The Martial Dao Prime Body turned to look at the retreating Hell Ants in the tunnel and frowned slightly.
Logically speaking, they should not have left the ant nest yet.
That was because the hall they were in had a similar style to the many structures in the ant nest.
Furthermore, the fact that Emperor Bo Xun died here in the past meant that this was also part of the territory of the Hell Ants.
However, why did the Hell Ants not advance and retreat?
Right then, Heavenly Wolf at the side walked forward slowly with a strange expression, his eyes filled with deep pain.
The light in the hall was dim and not far ahead, the vague outline of a figure could be seen. He sat in a lotus position and there seemed to be a sharp weapon embedded in the black rock in front of him that shone with a cold glint.
From Heavenly Wolf’s expression, it could be deduced that this was Emperor Bo Xun of the past!
The Martial Dao Prime Body put aside his doubts for the time being and walked towards Emperor Bo Xun’s corpse as well.
Now that he was closer, the Martial Dao Prime Body could see things even clearer.
Emperor Bo Xun wore a tattered long robe and his head was lowered, covering his face with his long hair.
“As expected of an Emperor realm expert.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body sighed internally.
Even after so many years, Emperor Bo Xun’s long hair was still intact!
The corpse looked extremely skinny. It should be because the Hell Ants had devoured the flesh of Emperor Bo Xun completely.
However, even Hell Ants might not be able to bite through the bones of an Emperor realm expert—that was the reason why this complete corpse was left behind.
“Old master, I’m back to visit you.”
Heavenly Wolf sprawled on the ground with a sorrowful expression and whimpered softly.
Back then, he was the Seven Emotions Fiend King and later on, he became the Weapon Spirit of the Mara Mask. He had always followed the side of Emperor Bo Xun and the connection between them was irreplaceable.
The Martial Dao Prime Body lamented when he thought about how Emperor Bo Xun ended up in such a tragic state after being surrounded by more than 20 Emperor experts and sent to Avici.
“Senior, sorry to disturb you.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body bowed towards the corpse of Emperor Bo Xun.
“Where is the Buddha Karmic Sutra?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body circled around the corpse of Emperor Bo Xun and could not help but ask with a frown when he did not see any traces of a storage bag.
“I don’t know either.”
Heavenly Wolf shook his head gently.
The gaze of the Martial Dao Prime Body shifted and landed on the sharp blade that was stabbed into the ground in front of Emperor Bo Xun.
From its shape, it should be a long saber with a single blade.
Even after countless years, the saber shone with a sharp edge and emitted a fiend power that could bewitch one’s heart!
The Martial Dao Prime Body advanced and reached for the handle of the saber, wanting to pull it out.
“Don’t touch it!”
Right then, as though he recalled something, Heavenly Wolf suddenly exclaimed.
When Heavenly Wolf returned to this old place and saw Emperor Bo Xun’s corpse, his heart ached and he was slightly slower to react.
By the time he gave that reminder, the Martial Dao Prime Body’s palm was already on the handle of the saber!
A strange power struck the Dao Heart of the Martial Dao Prime Body!
One after another, dark fiend qi extended along the arm of the Martial Dao Prime Body like countless pitch-black spirit snakes. In the blink of an eye, they covered the entire body of the Martial Dao Prime Body!
The Martial Dao Prime Body closed his eyes and did not move at all. With black qi coiled around his body, he resembled a fiendcelestial from Hell. Beneath the cold silver mask was a conflicted expression!
The moment he gripped the handle, a bang sounded in the mind of the Martial Dao Prime Body.
A series of women’s faces seemed to appear before him—Die Yue, Ji Yaoxue, Demoness Ji, Consort Yu…
All of them were devastatingly beautiful and as breathtaking as fairies, emitting endless bewitchment.
Demoness Ji twisted her body in a way that could trigger the most primitive impulses in the depths of one’s heart!
“Zimo.”
Ji Yaoxue called out softly.
The Martial Dao Prime Body had a lost expression and replied instinctively.
“The third gift is none other than me.”
Die Yue’s voice sounded.
“Nerd, have you forgotten about me?”
Demoness Ji had a sorrowful expression.
The ears of the Martial Dao Prime Body were filled with the calls of the women. They were gentle, cold or light and pleasant like birds.
A thought flashed through the mind of the Martial Dao Prime Body.
Even just listening to their voices everyday was an unimaginable happiness.
A faint fragrance wafted from the women, causing one’s mind to wander.
“Is this an illusion?”
Although the Martial Dao Prime Body knew that something was amiss, he could not break free!
He released many methods to resist the illusion and wanted to break free from the dreamscape before him, but to no avail.
Demoness Ji walked forward and kissed him on the lips.
The Martial Dao Prime Body shuddered as though he was electrocuted. His consciousness sank once more and he wanted to reach out to hug Demoness Ji.
Right then, the gaze of the Martial Dao Prime Body landed on Die Yue’s face and met her gaze.
Instantly, he sobered up!
“This is not an illusion!”
The heart of the Martial Dao Prime Body lit up as he recalled the six desires of the Buddhist monasteries.
The six desires were the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and intent.
The desire for beautiful objects came from sight.
The desire for lovely praises came from hearing.
The desire for fragrance came from smelling.
The desire for delicacies came from tasting.
The desire for comfort came from touch.
The desire for fame and fortune came from intent.
In the secular world, all living beings in the world could not break free from the restraints of the six desires!
To indulge in one was to indulge in all six!
What the Martial Dao Prime Body saw earlier on was not an illusion. Instead, the power of the fiend saber triggered the six desires in his body and various scenes were born to confuse his mind!
