Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2097: Call of the World

Yang Xiaotian watched in shock as the Nine Nether Demon Sound began to seep into the Ancestor Dragon Great Array.

The horrifying memory of that sound was still fresh; even the numerous Holy Realm experts at the apprenticeship ceremony had been powerless against it.

With a surge of will, he pushed his Innate Buddha Power to its maximum limit.

However, the Nine Nether Demon Sound was a phantom force, devoid of physical form. It remained entirely unaffected by the Innate Buddha Power, unless Yang Xiaotian could somehow elevate his cultivation to the Thirty-Seventh Layer.

As the melody drifted through the air, the Long Clan experts within the formation became dazed, their movements halting as they fell under a trance.

Even the Black Flame Army standing by Yang Xiaotian’s side ceased their coordinated strikes. Driven to madness like the Long Clan members, they turned their blades toward Yang Xiaotian, the Abyss of Darkness, and their own allies.

Ultimately, only the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor and a handful of senior Long Ancestors managed to cling to a shred of consciousness, resisting the urge to attack Yang Xiaotian.

Under the heavy pressure of the Nine Nether Demon Sound, Yang Xiaotian’s control over the Primordial Dragon Order began to slip.

The moment the Primordial Dragon Order lost its driver, the Ancestor Dragon Great Array would crumble on its own without a single blow being struck.

“Wake up!” Master Ding bellowed. His cauldron body erupted in a brilliant radiance, emitting a formless soundwave that rippled outward, momentarily snapping Yang Xiaotian, the Long Clan experts, and the Black Flame Army back to their senses.

“The Call of the World?!” The First Demon stared at Master Ding, his expression one of pure disbelief.

He had witnessed this technique only once before.

It was performed by the Creator Lord!

How could this Giant Cauldron possess the Call of the World?

What hidden connection did this cauldron share with the Creator Lord?

Yet, while Master Ding’s Call of the World could neutralize the Nine Nether Demon Sound, its effectiveness was restricted by Master Ding’s current strength. Consequently, Yang Xiaotian and the Long Clan warriors were only granted a brief reprieve.

As the demonic melody continued to invade, the Long Clan experts and the Black Flame Army began to succumb to the trance once more.

Just as they were about to lose themselves again, a single white flame descended silently from the void.

Though the flame appeared modest, the moment it drifted into the ranks of the Primordial Demon World army, any expert it touched was instantly reduced to a puff of white smoke, erased from existence.

Even a Demon Ancestor shrieked in agony upon contact, his body beginning to spontaneously combust.

The faces of the Nether Demon Lord and the Black and White Sword Demon paled instantly at the sight: “The White Flame!”

The spark of white fire floated directly toward the First Demon.

With a cold snort, the First Demon unleashed his own demon flames, which surged like a boiling ocean to meet the incoming threat.

When the two forces collided, sizzling explosions erupted, sending sparks flying in every direction. Several Primordial Demon World experts were unable to retreat in time, their demon bodies pierced through by the stray embers.

As the white flames continued to fall, a figure dressed in white stepped out from the void, appearing high above the Ancestor Dragon Mountain.

It was the World Academy Dean, Bai Yan!

“Awaken!” Seeing the dazed state of the Long Clan, Bai Yan let out a thunderous shout. In an instant, everyone regained their clarity, and the Nine Nether Demon Sound was utterly shattered and swept away.

The First Demon, having just parried the white flame, narrowed his eyes at the newcomer. He hadn't anticipated that Bai Yan, the Dean of the World Academy, would personally intervene.

He spoke in a low, threatening tone, “Old Bai, this isn't your World Academy. You’ve wandered into the wrong territory. Do you truly believe you can hold back my entire Primordial Demon World army by yourself?”

Both he and Bai Yan stood at the same level of Cultivation: the Tenth Layer Peak of the Harmonization Realm.

While Bai Yan’s flames were a natural counter to his Demon Path, a life-or-death struggle remained unpredictable, especially with the backing of his Demon Ancestors and his vast legion.

“Who told you I was alone?” Bai Yan replied calmly.

As his voice fell, the sky tore open, and an immense army poured forth. Leading the charge were the World Academy’s own Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and Teng Si.

It was clear that the World Academy had launched a full-scale mobilization for this conflict.

The First Demon had attempted to keep his invasion of the Ancestor Dragon Realm a secret, but how could such a movement escape the eyes of the World Academy?

Furthermore, Bai Yan was well aware that Yang Xiaotian was in the Ancestor Dragon Realm. Knowing the youth was in peril, he had led his forces the moment he caught wind of the Primordial Demon World’s movements.

Watching the endless tide of the World Academy’s forces, the First Demon’s face darkened, but he roared with renewed fury, “Attack with everything! Destroy the Ancestor Dragon Great Array!”

He was obsessed with seizing Yang Xiaotian!

It wasn't just for the Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Elixir, but for the precious Primordial Qi Yang Xiaotian possessed.

Once more, the Primordial Demon World army threw themselves against the Ancestor Dragon Great Array.

However, with Bai Yan standing guard, the First Demon was unable to utilize the Nine Nether Demon Sound, making it nearly impossible for his troops to breach the formation quickly.

Before long, Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and Teng Si led their legions into the fray, crashing into the demon ranks like a tidal wave of steel!

Boom!

The very foundations of the Ancestor Dragon Realm shuddered.

The shockwaves from the clashing armies swept across the land, threatening to tear the world asunder.

The reinforcements weren't limited to the World Academy; tens of millions of soldiers from the various empires of the World Continent had also arrived.

The sheer numbers of the World Academy’s coalition now rivaled the Primordial Demon World’s host.

The battlefield became a scene of heaven-shaking violence, with blood mist rising so high it seemed to stain the sky itself.

The local Ancestor Dragon Realm forces were stunned by the scale of the carnage.

The Holy Realm had not seen such a massive conflict in eons—this was essentially a war between entire realms. The last time such a feat occurred was when the Long Clan Ancestor and Long Yi led their realm against the Holy Realm.

Xin Lei traded blows with the Black and White Sword Demon, while Xiao Zheng and the Nether Demon Lord were locked in a fierce, deadlocked struggle.

High above the Vault of Heaven, Bai Yan and the First Demon engaged in a devastating duel. Bai Yan’s strikes scattered white flames like falling stars, while the First Demon’s techniques summoned vast, suffocating seas of demonic energy.

Thanks to the arrival of Bai Yan and his reinforcements, Yang Xiaotian finally had a moment to breathe. He focused entirely on fueling the Ancestor Dragon Great Array to repel the demon invaders.

Master Ding transformed into a massive, sky-piercing Giant Cauldron. His red-hot surface was covered in glowing Dao Runes as he repeatedly smashed through the enemy lines.

The Abyss of Darkness, the Dragon Corpse Beast, the experts of the Destroying Heaven Demon Sect, and the Long Clan warriors all surged out from the safety of the array to join the counter-attack.

As time passed, more and more Ancestor Dragon Realm reinforcements arrived on the scene.

The Primordial Demon World army, already struggling against the World Academy, found the pressure mounting to unbearable levels, and their casualties began to skyrocket.

Realizing the tide of battle had turned against him, the First Demon made a swift decision. He barked an order to retreat, transforming into a streak of demonic light and vanishing into the distance.

“Bai Yan, let’s see if you can protect your disciple every hour of every day!” The First Demon’s parting threat echoed through the void.

The combined armies of the World Academy and the Ancestor Dragon Realm watched the retreating demons, pursuing them until they were completely driven out of the realm.

Bai Yan, seeing that Yang Xiaotian had successfully claimed the Primordial Dragon Order and secured his position as the new head of the Long Clan, felt a deep sense of pride and relief. He decided to remain in the Ancestor Dragon Realm with his army for a short time to ensure stability.

However, the leadership of the World Academy could not be absent forever. A month later, Bai Yan, Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and the rest of the contingent began their journey back to the Academy.
