# Chapter 2337: Celestial Palace in the Sky

"The blood moon hanging in the sky has shattered!" Lin Feng looked up at the sky, his expression filled with shock. In a certain direction, an unparalleled aura was spreading. Without a doubt, a terrifying Sacred King Weapon existed there.

Sacred Kings had different levels, and Sacred King Weapons were similarly classified. The Sacred King realm included Half-step Sacred Kings, also known as those who had just entered the Sacred King realm. Although this stage was not yet mature, it was still considered part of the Sacred King realm. Next came Minor Accomplishment Sacred Kings, Great Accomplishment Sacred Kings, and Supreme Sacred Kings. Sacred King Weapons were divided into Low-grade Sacred King Weapons, Mid-grade Sacred King Weapons, High-grade Sacred King Weapons, and Supreme Sacred King Weapons. The levels of Sacred Kings corresponded to those of Sacred King Weapons. However, the Sacred Body of a Minor Accomplishment Sacred King was already comparable to a Low-grade Sacred King Weapon. This meant that a Minor Accomplishment Sacred King had no need to worry about the attacks of a Low-grade Sacred King Weapon—his Sacred Body itself was a Sacred King Weapon.

For a Great Accomplishment Sacred King, his Sacred Body was comparable to a Mid-grade Sacred King Weapon. As for a Supreme Sacred King, perhaps only a Supreme Sacred King Weapon could harm him.

Moreover, the gap between each level, or between Sacred King Weapons of different levels, was enormous. The Great Desolate Demon Halberd had directly pierced through the blood moon in the sky, which meant it must be a terrifying Sacred King Weapon.

"Let's go take a look." Lin Feng and the others moved forward, heading toward that terrifying aura. Passing through the cold and gloomy demon lair battlefield, they finally saw the Great Desolate Demon Halberd.

It was an ancient battle platform. The Great Desolate Demon Halberd was thrust upside down into the platform, and its sharp end was piercing the body of a Demon King. That Demon King had been impaled by the halberd, and then the one who killed him had thrust the halberd upside down into the battle platform. The sight was extremely shocking.

At this moment, the Great Desolate Demon Halberd emitted a terrifying demonic aura that seemed to pierce through the heavens, dominating the world as if it wanted to tear through the sky itself.

The High Priest of the Heavenly Sound Divine Temple stood on the battle platform, staring ahead. "Who was it that pinned such a figure to the Great Desolate Demon Halberd and sealed it away for countless years? The mournful aura emanating from the Great Desolate Demon Halberd—could it be that this impaled person was its true master?"

"Mournful?" Lin Feng and the others were stunned. They quietly sensed the aura of the Great Desolate Demon Halberd. Indeed, a sense of sorrow seemed to flow from it. Lin Feng looked at the High Priest. Could it be as he said—that this terrifying figure had died by his own weapon? If so, the one who controlled the Great Desolate Demon Halberd to kill him must have been incredibly powerful.

The High Priest of the Heavenly Sound Divine Temple stepped forward. A terrifying sound wave spread out, and Lin Feng and the others felt an invisible force of sound rhythm pushing their bodies far away. Clearly, the High Priest deliberately avoided killing them with the shockwaves of his aura.

"Boom!" A terrifying blood-red light surged toward the High Priest, instantly turning the area into a dark, blood-red hell of unimaginable horror.

"Thud!" The High Priest continued walking forward. The void trembled violently, and the surrounding broken structures shattered once more, many of them turning directly into dust.

The Great Desolate Demon Halberd revealed a sense of unyielding defiance.

"He is already dead. You should choose another master," the High Priest said indifferently. With a whoosh, the Great Desolate Demon Halberd broke through the ground and shot into the sky, disappearing in an instant to an unknown location. A figure stood in the distance watching, but the halberd swept past him. In that moment, the figure turned into a mist of blood, vanishing forever—without even being touched by the halberd.

"How terrifying." Lin Feng and the others looked up at the disappearing halberd. Had this Great Desolate Demon Halberd been sealed here all along?

"Senior, what level of existence were the Great Desolate Demon Halberd and the one it killed?" Zhi Yun asked the High Priest ahead.

The High Priest turned back, looking at Zhi Yun. "A Great Accomplishment Sacred King and a High-grade Sacred King Weapon."

Zhi Yun's expression froze. The one who had been killed was a Great Accomplishment Sacred King, and the weapon was a High-grade Sacred King Weapon. The person who made the Great Desolate Demon Halberd kill its own master—how powerful must he have been? A Supreme Sacred King? Was he still alive?

If he was still alive, could this forbidden land trap such an existence?

In the sky, the shattered blood-red demon moon slowly rose again, as if to illuminate eternity. This blood moon seemed to carry endless demonic energy, pouring down from the sky. Before long, the entire ancient demon lair was shrouded in a terrifying corrosive demonic intent.

"The blood-red demon moon brings supreme demonic intent with extremely powerful corrosive force. Only after this blood moon disappears will the gate leading out of the demon lair reopen. Running in here—you're just asking for death." The High Priest looked up at the sky and spoke to them.

"What?" Fatty exclaimed. Zhi Yun's brow furrowed as she already felt the corrosive demonic tide.

"Without the strength of a Sacred Body, you simply cannot resist this corrosive tide. Take care of yourselves." With these words, the High Priest's figure disappeared again, as if he had never been there. In his view, Lin Feng and the others were doomed to die by entering this place. However, since one of the girls seemed to truly know him, and she had died without him intervening, he felt somewhat uncomfortable. That was why he warned them; otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered.

"This demonic tide could really corrode our bodies," Zhi Yun said, her expression dark. She enveloped the four of them with the radiance of life. They seemed to understand how the demonic beings outside had been corroded—perhaps it was this terrifying, eerie tide.

The blood moon remained, releasing a terrifying demonic tide that covered heaven and earth. Soon, the life light on Zhi Yun was corroded away, unable to block this fearsome demonic intent.

"Are we really going to turn into demonic beings?" Chi Lianshan's expression was grim. He covered himself with a thick layer of earthen armor, wrapping his body tightly. He also put armor on the others, but it was useless. The armor was quickly corroded, unable to withstand the demonic intent that could even corrode Sacred Bodies.

The blood moon in the sky grew larger, and the tide became more terrifying. Fatty had the weakest resistance; bloodstains appeared on his body as the demonic intent invaded, trying to corrode and demonize him, turning him into a demonic being.

"No!" Fatty roared in anger. He was unwilling. Had exploring the ancient demon lair truly been the right choice?

"Together," Lin Feng shouted. The four of them formed a circle. A powerful life force emanated from Lin Feng, and on the ground, a Tai Chi Life and Death Diagram rapidly formed. This time, Lin Feng used the Life Diagram for the first time, devouring all energy, dominating the world's energy, and transforming it into life force. The great formation enveloped the four of them, endlessly regenerating.

"Undying vitality, endlessly regenerating, eternal without cease."

Zhi Yun looked at Lin Feng in shock. She was from the Life Divine Temple, yet she couldn't achieve this kind of endless regeneration. The demonic intent in the sky was too terrifying, easily invading the life formation and corroding them. But although the life formation was eroded, the endless regeneration instantly restored them. Chi Lianshan and Fatty showed signs of demonization one moment and recovered the next, as the two forces clashed in a stalemate.

The demonic intent was naturally stronger than the life force. The reason they could still hold on was only because the life force was eternal, never ceasing for even a moment.

Fatty's body trembled slightly. He knew that if the endless regeneration paused for even an instant, he would be unable to resist the demonic intent.

"Hold on, everyone. We'll be fine." Lin Feng's gaze was sharp. He, too, was corroded by the demonic intent, but the endless life force within him allowed him to recover faster, to the point where the corrosion was barely visible.

"Rumble!" It was as if a meteor streaked across the sky, accompanied by a rumbling sound. Lin Feng and the others looked up and saw a terrifying Sacred King Weapon charging into the sky, heading straight for the eerie blood moon.

"The Great Desolate Demon Halberd!" Lin Feng looked up. The halberd shot directly toward the blood moon. A thunderous boom rang out, shattering the terrifying demonic clouds before the blood moon. The Great Desolate Demon Halberd released an endless, terrifying power, trying to pierce through that demon moon.

"Does the Great Desolate Demon Halberd have a grudge against this blood moon? Why does it keep attacking it?"

A Sacred King Weapon of this level must have developed intelligence. It had attacked the blood moon before, and now that the blood moon had reappeared, it attacked again. It howled endlessly in the sky, and the rumbling continued. The blood-red demonic energy was constantly shaken apart. Lin Feng, Zhi Yun, and the others were stunned. A Sacred King Weapon, attacking the moon in the sky?

The demonic energy was continuously dispersed, and the blood-red demon moon gradually grew larger and clearer. Slowly, a faint outline appeared within the moon. There seemed to be a palace, and on the throne of an unparalleled king within that palace sat a terrifying demon lord, a blood-colored grinding knife thrust into the ground. What a shocking scene this was.

On the blood moon—was it the demon king's burial ground? Or his bedchamber?

At this moment, not only Lin Feng and the others saw it, but also the ancient demons of this world and the powerful beings with consciousness all looked up at the blood moon, gazing at this shocking scene.

"I wonder what year it is in the celestial palace above."

Seeing this scene, an involuntary thought arose in Lin Feng's mind. This scene—the celestial palace in the sky. This ancient demon lair—who knew what year it was in the outside world.
