Chapter 637 Murong Yue The Eternal Night (1)
Just before Ji Yuan had led his group into the shimmering dark blue portal, the short old man aka the White Sword Monarch began to warn him. “Are you thinking that this is a trial that is easier than even the Great Valhalla Halls Trial? Then you are wrong. No trials are easy especially the ones at the final section.”
Ji Yuan smiled weakly, “Well, I didn’t say so.”
The short old man said solemnly, “Good if you think this way. Have you not noticed that the trials here involved visiting all the worlds of cultivation except for the Immortal Realm? And that we must obey the laws of that place. Therefore we must always be careful. And don’t forget that we have not killed the Death God Mingwang yet.”
Ji Yuan weakly laugh as he stole a glance at a nonchalant Yun Chi, “Haha… sure, I will be careful.”
“Good!” The short old man said.
Ji Yuan put his hands on his face as he displayed a miserable look, “As long as I don’t get send to the lower mortal realms, I am actually fine with anything.”
Shui Xisi giggled when she had heard him, “Be careful for what you have wished for.”
Ji Yuan: …
When he had finished speaking, Ji Yuan began to led the rest of his group into the shimmering dark blue portal.
As they entered into the shimmering blue portal, Ji Yuan, Ling Feiyue, Shui Xisi, Little Princess and Bai Qianfeng could not help sighing, “The mortal cultivators are just too irritating….”
The short old man frowned behind them with a short curse, “What sort of an example are you setting for your group?”
Then he began to shake his head and muttered, “Hopefully it is not the mortal realms…”
Yang Mi, Yu Jingjing, Zhi Jiugong, Yun Chi, the Lovely Empress and the Smiling Divine Maiden: …
But as they entered into the shimmering blue portal, they too were shaking their heads and praying that it would not be the lower mortal realm because there were simply too many restrictions in there!

Outside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth;
At the Mt Eons Firmament;𝑵𝑂𝑽𝔢𝗅𝔫𝐄xt.𝓬𝐎𝓂
A female demonic cultivator had quietly descended upon the mountains of the Eons Firmament and she had a haughty look.
There was a reason for her haughtiness; it was because she was the Number 2 warrior of the Dark Demon God and she was also called Murong Yue the Eternal Night.
She looked human except for her elfin ears and she carried a celestial-step sword with a black edge.
In actuality, she was not supposed to be here but she was amused that Number 5, Yao Hong the Raging Fire had actually been defeated by a mere celestial.
This was such a shame to immortal cultivators such as them!
The top 5 numbers of the Dark Demon God were all immortal cultivators that had followed the Dark Demon God for a long time and had followed him to the Celestial Realm.
In the presence of the others, they were simply known as mere ‘Numbers’.
However this was just a guise for them to observe their enemies, especially the factions of the Desolate Dragon God and the Great Death God.
Murong Yue was at the 9th rank upper immortal positioning and she had a disdain look at everyone except for Number 1. Even Number 5, Yao Hong who was a middle 9th rank middle immortal cultivator had a vast gap with her.
In the Celestial Realm, Yao Hong’s cultivation profound strength was suppressed at the 8th cultivation profound strength and so was Murong Yue.
However Murong Yue was at the peak of the 8th cultivation profound strength and she could even display her 8th rank profound arts. This was a major difference between them in the cultivation realm.
The reason why she was here today was to meet Saintess Fang Zhenfei who could even kill the Desolate Dragon God himself and sent the fighters of the Evil Cultivation Palace packing away.
Right now, due to the death of the Desolate Dragon God, the faction of the Desolate Dragon God was now submissive to the Dark Demon God now.
Both the Desolate Dragon God and the Dark Demon God had their own factions in the Celestial Realm except for the Great Death God Mingwang who preferred to do his own kills on his own.
To be honest, she was not afraid of this Saintess Fang Zhenfei that had killed the Desolate Dragon God as she believed that this was due to a unexplained fluke. But she was afraid of Number 1. Number 1 was Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily.
Although Ding Xiaoxiao had a fragile nickname but she was anything but that. In the Desolate Divine Realm, she was a peak immortal and she had once fought with 3 of the Citadel Sovereign Lords of the Ancient Fortress to a standstill. This was a terrifying testimonial to her true strength.
None of the lower numbers in the Dark Demon God dared to mess up with her and she had no friends. Even the Dark Demon God did not dare to use her easily.
She had once overheard a conversation between Ding Xiaoxiao and the Dark Demon God; Ding Xiaoxiao had said, “You can only use me 3 times. The first is that I will follow you to the Celestial Realm. The second time is that I will be your loyal servant to defend you in your dark divine palace. So what is the 3rd time?”
However the Dark Demon God had merely said, “This is not the time yet.”
Murong Yue was startled that Ding Xiaoxiao could actually talk to the Dark Demon God in such a nonchalant manner and did not fear their True God.
Even in the Desolate Divine Realm, the background of Ding Xiaoxiao was a mystery and she had no friends or enemies. The real reason why she had no enemies was because all her enemies had been killed by her.
None of the numbers wanted to befriend her and they had all feared her.
As Murong Yue walked in the darkness of the mountains, she was startled to see two beautiful maidens had appeared with their swords to interrupt her.
One of the beautiful maidens was only at the 6th cultivation realm and was a low level cultivator in her sight while the other one was a 7th realm cultivator.
She merely smiled, “So I’ve been discovered?”
The beautiful low level cultivator said quietly, “I am Fairy Ye Chengxi and is a golden supremacy.”
The other beautiful cultivator said slowly, “I am Sword Saintess Jian Yuluo. A saintess.”
Murong Yue laughed softly as she played with her sword, “Oh? None of you are at the great saintess level and you have dared to stand in my way? Or are there more of you around in this place?”
Fairy Ye Chengxi said, “There are only the two of us. We have sensed your wayward sword intentions and have come to intercept you.”
Sword Saintess Jian Yuluo hummed softly, “And who are you? Or are you a coward that did not dare to reveal your name?”
Murong Xue smiled faintly and there was a killing intention in her golden eyes, “You may call me Number 2. I am the Number 2 of the Great Demon God’s personal guards. I have heard that a few ants had recently defeated Number 5 and even killed the Desolate Dragon God. Hence I am here to take a closer look.”
She had displayed her flaring red aura and the intense pressure of her profound animus was immediately upon the vicinity. In this instant, she had revealed her profound strength at the 8th immortal positioning and any cultivators below the 8th immortal positioning realm would surely be afraid, especially the lower cultivators.
However, Fairy Ye Chengxi and Saintess Jian Yuluo displayed no fear whatever so and they had displayed their sword spirits on their foreheads.
With a look, Murong Xue the Eternal Night began to say casually. “Sword Spirits. And also the two of you are also sword saintesses. Interesting.”
“Unfortunately, you have met the wrong opponent today.” She said as a dark sword spirit began to surface on her forehead. “I am also a sword saintess and I can tell you that my sword art is really very good.”
