Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2086: 2086: Xuanming Demon Sect and the Silver Heavenly Dragon Clan
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Currently, there are very few Heaven and Earth Treasures capable of rapidly boosting Yang Xiaotian’s power level.
Aside from the Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine, only legendary items like the Ancestor Dragon Tree or the Sun Divine Tree would be effective.
Alternatively, the Long Yi Dragon Body would serve the purpose perfectly.
His strength would undoubtedly skyrocket if he could locate the Long Yi Dragon Body and successfully merge with it.
While he focused on Cultivation for his various Sacred Bodies and the Divine Soul, Yang Xiaotian also maintained a consistent training regimen for his Innate Demon God Power and Innate Buddha Power.
These two powers were vital for his future control over the Primordial Demon World and the Buddha Sect. He could afford to temporarily neglect other techniques, but he remained diligent and persevered in his practice of the Innate Demon God Power and Innate Buddha Power.
Carried by the rapid flight of the Dragon Night Spaceship, the party reached the Ancestor Dragon Realm without incident.
The vessel came to a halt before the boundary of the Ancestor Dragon Realm.
The world ahead was saturated with surging dragon qi. This essence filled the Ancestor Dragon Realm to the point of overflowing, creating a vast sea of dragon qi within the starry sky that surrounded the realm.
Countless Long Clan Runes drifted within this celestial ocean of dragon qi.
Having manifested over eons, these had become Innate Dragon Clan Runes. They were linked together to establish an Innate Dragon Clan Great Formation, which served as an invisible shield for the Ancestor Dragon Realm.
This barrier ensured that it was no simple task for experts from outside clans to gain entry.
Yang Xiaotian immediately triggered the strength of his Primordial Dragon Holy Body.
In an instant, ten Primordial Dragons manifested between Heaven and Earth.
The Dragon Night Spaceship carved a path through the sea of dragon qi and penetrated the Innate Dragon Clan Great Formation.
Because of the resonance between Yang Xiaotian’s Primordial Dragon Holy Body and the Dragon Night Spaceship, the defensive dragon formation did not launch an attack against them.
The ship crossed through the celestial sea of the formation and successfully entered the Ancestor Dragon Realm.
Likely due to his Primordial Dragon Holy Body, Yang Xiaotian was struck by a strange sense of familiarity and warmth the moment they arrived.
“We will head to the Tianya Empire first,” Yang Xiaotian commanded.
The spaceship accelerated toward the Tianya Empire.
As they journeyed past various Dragon Cities, Yang Xiaotian and his followers gathered intelligence and listened for rumors.
Simultaneously, Yang Xiaotian utilized the perception of his Primordial Dragon Holy Body to search for any traces of the Ancestor Dragon Tree.
Long Yi’s records confirmed the Ancestor Dragon Tree was within this realm, but since the exact coordinates were missing, Yang Xiaotian was forced to hunt for it manually.
Naturally, acquiring a treasure as rare as the Ancestor Dragon Tree depended entirely on one’s fate.
The same held true for discovering the Long Yi Dragon Body.
Once inside the Ancestor Dragon Realm, Yang Xiaotian began acquiring every scrap of information regarding Long Yi from the local intelligence networks.
He was particularly interested in details regarding Long Yi’s life before his legendary confrontation with the Master of the Holy Realm.
Unfortunately, records concerning Long Yi prior to that battle were notoriously difficult to uncover.
While he searched for leads on Long Yi and the Ancestor Dragon Tree, Yang Xiaotian slowly pieced together the current state of the Ancestor Dragon Realm.
Even though the Long Clan had seen better days, a starved camel is still larger than a horse; the forces within the Ancestor Dragon Realm remained quite formidable.
However, the ancient war had claimed the lives of the Long Clan Ancestor and the ten Ancestor Dragons. Today, only a single Overlord Level expert remained within the Long Clan!
That individual was the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor.
The Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor belonged to the same second generation of powerhouses as Long Yi and Long Ye, though he was ranked roughly in the teens among the clan's ancestors in terms of raw power.
Yang Xiaotian calculated that the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor was likely stronger than the Dragon Corpse Beast, yet slightly weaker than the Abyss of Darkness.
The night passed peacefully.
Yang Xiaotian and his group set up a campfire within an Uninhabited Mountain Range, sharing grilled meat and wine.
The scent of the cooking meat drifted through the air.
Meanwhile, the Black Flame Army remained concealed within the shadows of the night sky.
As he sipped his wine, Yang Xiaotian’s thoughts turned to his master, the Primordial Universe Taoist.
Their recent investigations had confirmed that the Primordial Universe Taoist was last spotted in the vicinity of the Dragon Destruction Cave.
The Dragon Destruction Cave was known as the most perilous location in the entire Ancestor Dragon Realm.
With the exception of the Long Clan Ancestor and the ten Ancestor Dragons, any Long Clan expert who dared to enter was essentially walking to their certain death.
Beyond its lethal restrictions, the cave was said to be the lair of many horrific monsters.
Despite the extreme danger, rumors persisted that the Dragon Destruction Cave was a hoard of treasures, potentially containing Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine.
Had his master, the Primordial Universe Taoist, ventured inside to find such medicine, or was he seeking something else entirely?
As he contemplated his master and the cave, the sound of whistling air signaled the approach of a large contingent of experts flying toward them.
A massive wave of Demonic Qi preceded their arrival.
It was obvious that these newcomers belonged to a Demon Sect.
The group soon came into view.
Every one of them wore Dark Demon Armor, marked with a prominent “Nether” character on the chest plate.
Upon seeing the symbol, the Yin Yang Ghost Master blurted out in shock, “The Xuanming Demon Sect!”
The Xuanming Demon Sect was ranked among the top ten superpowers of the Primordial Demon World. Their presence in the Ancestor Dragon Realm was highly unusual.
The sect had deployed a massive force of thousands. In a flash, these thousands of experts reached the group's position.
However, the disciples of the Xuanming Demon Sect did not stop; they flew directly over Yang Xiaotian’s camp and continued their trek.
As they soared overhead, they took notice of Yang Xiaotian and his party, casting a brief look downward.
The silhouettes of the sect members soon faded into the dark horizon.
As they moved away, an Elder of the Xuanming Demon Sect remarked, “Young Master, the individuals accompanying that youth are far from ordinary.”
Even with just a passing glance, the Elder could sense the immense strength of companions like the Destroying Heaven Demon and the Blood Demon Old Monster.
He could recognize the power of those two, but he was unable to gauge the true depths of the Dragon Corpse Beast or the Abyss of Darkness.
The young man leading the group replied with indifference, “So what if they are not simple? The world is full of such people. They have their path, and we have ours. If they get in our way, they will die!”
With those words, he led his followers further toward the Dragon Destruction Cave.
Destroying Heaven Demon watched them leave and noted, “Looking at their heading, are they also making for the Dragon Destruction Cave? Could the Xuanming Demon Sect be planning to enter as well?”
“It is of no consequence; we will mind our own business,” Yang Xiaotian said. He then consumed an Ultimate Life Holy Fruit and entered a state of meditation.
At dawn the following day, the group resumed their trek toward the Dragon Destruction Cave.
By the time they arrived at the cave's mouth, the sky was fully lit.
Despite the daylight, there was no sun to be seen. Snow fell intermittently, as the Tianya Empire’s location at the northernmost edge of the Dragon Realm made the climate bitterly cold.
The entrance to the Dragon Destruction Cave was enormous, resembling a massive city gate. It was draped in shadows, with swirling currents of gray air circling the opening.
There was no sign of the Xuanming Demon Sect; it was unclear if they had already entered.
Just as Yang Xiaotian’s party reached the entrance, another group of experts approached from the distance.
“Those are members of the Silver Heavenly Dragon Clan!” the Blood Demon Old Monster observed.
The approaching warriors were indeed from the Silver Heavenly Dragon Clan of the Ancestor Dragon Realm, as evidenced by their Silver Dragon Battle Robes and the dragon qi they radiated. Their patriarch was the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor—the last remaining Overlord Level expert in the realm.
