World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 2096 - 987: E Tian’s God-Slaying Sword! The Death of Ling Ao!
Lanling picked up the book!
It was a book made from crystal energy rolls, but when opened, there wasn’t a single word inside, nor any diagram or energy symbol.
This was a Wordless Heavenly Scripture.
Lanling attempted to input his own energy, just like when he learned the Spatial Skill.
However, it was empty inside, with nothing at all.
Lanling tried again and again, but it was completely a blank book.
Then, Lanling picked up the sword.
He owned a sword of Emperor E Tian, and currently, Yao Xing was still inside the Crow Crying Sword.
And the sword before him was a transparent crystal sword.
Likewise, it lacked any energy and wasn’t powerful in any way.
Lanling was utterly baffled. Why did Emperor E Tian leave these two items behind? But looking at this sword and book, he couldn’t discern any special features.
Lanling asked, "When Emperor E Tian entrusted these things to you for safeguarding, did he say anything?"
After thinking for a moment, a sorceress replied, "He said there were two paths before him, and he didn’t know which one was the path of life and which was the path of death. So he chose one first, and if failed, it would prove to be the path of death. Then his successor would take the other path, which might be the path of life."
Lanling asked, "Was this before or after he destroyed the Sky Holy Palace?"
"After," replied the sorceress. "After destroying the Sky Holy Palace, Emperor E Tian contemplated every day, pondering how to attack the Lunar Holy Palace. He sighed while thinking, and then employed countless manpower to build this Heavenly Demon Ancient City in the Lonely Snow Mountain as his tomb."
Lanling was astonished. This magnificent Heavenly Demon Ancient City was not a city but merely a tomb built by Emperor E Tian for himself? It seemed it could easily serve as the capital of the E’tian Empire.
"And the entire Heavenly Demon Ancient City was built just to bury this book and sword?" Lanling asked.
"Yes," the sorceress replied.
Lanling asked, "Then what about those countless people in the city? Were they all petrified people?"
The sorceress replied, "They were carved out of stone, and the sculptors were craftsmen of the E’tian Empire. We sorceresses were personally created by Emperor E Tian."
Lanling couldn’t help but marvel, recalling Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Terracotta Army, noting the striking resemblance. However, the petrified people in the Heavenly Demon Ancient City were much more realistic and numerous than the Terracotta Army. Emperor E Tian’s tomb was more grandiose, mysterious, and enigmatic than Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s mausoleum.
Lanling said, "But I can’t comprehend anything from this book, nor feel any energy from this sword."
The sorceress replied, "This sword was named ’Gods Slaughter Demon Extermination’ by His Majesty! It took him a long time to forge it."
Lanling was astounded. The name was indeed grandiose, and since Emperor E Tian was not one for exaggeration, naming the sword ’Gods Slaughter Demon Extermination’ meant it truly possessed such power.
However, Lanling, holding it now, could not feel any strong energy, as if it were merely an ordinary glass sword.
This Wordless Heavenly Scripture was even more incomprehensible.
"Oh, right, the master also told us to inform you that once you acquired the Heavenly Scripture and Demon-Slaying Sword, you should take us with you." The sorceresses excitedly said, "Though our cultivation is formidable, Emperor E Tian prohibited us from engaging in any battles. He said we could only be used at crucial moments, so we must conserve our power since we are not normal life forms, but energy beings created by Emperor E Tian."
"What crucial moments?" Lanling asked.
The sorceress shook her head and said, "We don’t know. He said when the crucial moment arrives, you will naturally know."
Then, the sorceress excitedly said, "Let’s go, let’s go, we must leave quickly. We’ve been inside for too long, and I can’t wait any longer."
The sorceresses eagerly embraced Lanling as they flew away from the Heavenly Demon Ancient City, anxious to experience the outside world.

Baiyun County !
Zhi Ao returned home, his gentle and beautiful wife approached, knelt to help him change his shoes, and dusted off the dirt from his clothes.
"You’re back? How was your talk with Tuli Yang?" the wife asked.
"A bunch of complaints," Zhi Ao said. "Turing Chen is too overbearing, knowing full well that the Tuli Family are my people, yet he relentlessly coerces them into providing vast resources, causing Tuli Yang great distress. This person relies on Fu Lingxi, acting recklessly and without restraint. One day, I’ll make him face the consequences."
The wife gently said, "It’s not worth stooping to the level of such petty people. With the great war impending, he holds the Imperial Sword of the Dragon Temple. After the war ends and the Demon Emperor is overthrown, it won’t be too late to deal with him then."
"Mm!" Zhi Ao responded.
That night, the two of them entwined once more.
The next morning, Zhi Ao once again headed to the front line of the Great Ten Thousand Mountains.
Because a grand ceremony was about to take place.
The construction of another Sky-Piercing Dragon Tower was nearly complete, with only the final top left to finish.
As the regent prince of the Rage Wave Kingdom, he personally completed the topping of every Sky-Piercing Dragon Tower within his territory.
Moreover, for every Sky-Piercing Dragon Tower, a grand celebratory ceremony was held.
This time was no exception!
This Sky-Piercing Dragon Tower exceeded nine hundred meters and stood on a mountain over five thousand meters above sea level.
