Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2103: You Still Can’t Kill Me
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Yang Xiaotian had already anticipated that hosting this Dragon Battle would provoke the Demon God Cave into launching another assassination attempt against him.
In fact, he secretly desired for the founder of the Demon God Cave—a formidable Innate Demon God Powerhouse—to personally intervene this time.
To eventually refine and merge with the Primordial Demon World Origin, he required the strength of a Thirty-Four Layer Innate Demon God.
If he managed to slay an Innate Demon God Powerhouse and harvest his essence, his own Innate Demon God power would finally ascend to the Thirty-Four Layer!
Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s unwavering determination to proceed with the Dragon Battle, the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor had no choice but to bolster the defenses of the Dragon Battle Mountain Range, deploying significantly more troops than originally planned.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian remained within the Silver Heavenly Dragon Clan’s territory to immerse himself in the comprehension of the Kaitian Level Great Dao.
A month flew by in an instant.
The day of the Dragon Battle finally arrived.
Accompanied by the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor and a retinue of Dragon Ancestors, Yang Xiaotian departed for the Dragon Battle Mountain Range.
The Abyss of Darkness and the group of Dragon Corpse Beasts followed closely behind.
Upon their arrival at the mountain range, they found every peak swarming with Dragon Clan disciples gathered from every corner of the Ancestral Dragon Realm. The sight of Yang Xiaotian ignited a wave of fervor; the disciples prostrated themselves in unison, shouting, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
By now, Yang Xiaotian’s reputation among the Dragon Clan of the Ancestral Dragon Realm was so immense that it rivaled the legendary status of the Long Clan Ancestor and Long Yi from ancient times.
Observing the kneeling, enthusiastic experts, Yang Xiaotian gave a slight nod to signal them to stand before continuing toward the Dragon Battle Square with the Dragon Ancestors.
As Yang Xiaotian looked over the sea of Dragon Clan disciples, he prepared to speak. Suddenly, the void was ripped apart, and a solitary figure emerged from the rift.
The appearance of this figure caused both Heaven and Earth to shake. Every person present felt as though an invisible mountain was crushing their Divine Souls.
Even the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor felt a profound sense of dread, his Divine Soul feeling as if it were pinned in place.
Of everyone gathered, only the Abyss of Darkness possessed the strength to withstand such overwhelming, invisible divine pressure.
As the stranger drew closer to Yang Xiaotian, the sheer weight of his aura rendered many Dragon Clan experts and disciples completely immobile.
Detecting the unmistakable aura of Innate Demon God power, Yang Xiaotian remarked, "An Innate Demon God!"
It was certain that this individual was one of the founding pillars of the Demon God Cave.
The intruder looked at Yang Xiaotian with a flicker of surprise and nodded in approval. "Impressive. To be able to speak while under my soul-capturing demonic might, you truly are the First of Eternity’s genius!"
"It is a pity, however. Regardless of your peerless talent, I must end your life today!"
Yang Xiaotian abruptly countered, "You and the Demon God Cave should serve me. If you submit, I will grant you mercy. When I eventually reach the Heavenly Dao Saint level, I can even bestow a Fourteen Tribulations Heavenly Grade Harmonization Pill upon you for your Cultivation."
His bold statement left the crowd in shock.
The powerhouse from the Demon God Cave erupted into boisterous laughter. "Serve you? Yang Xiaotian, do you genuinely believe you are the Creator Lord?"
Not even the Master of the Holy Realm could force the Demon God Cave into submission.
"Though a Fourteen Tribulations Heavenly Grade Harmonization Pill is a tempting bribe," the opponent added with a smirk, "the Demon God Cave has already committed to the task of your execution. To preserve our reputation, no price you offer can buy your survival today."
He continued his steady advance toward Yang Xiaotian.
"You are incapable of killing me," Yang Xiaotian replied, his voice calm as he watched the figure approach.
Stunned for a moment, the attacker laughed. "Do you believe the Abyss of Darkness can shield you? His power is formidable, but it isn't enough to save you—unless your master, Bai Yan, were present!"
"But we know Bai Yan is currently occupied at the World Academy."
They had done their reconnaissance; Bai Yan was far away at the World Academy and could never arrive in time to intervene.
Without another word, he suddenly struck out with both palms—one targeting the Abyss of Darkness and the other aimed directly at Yang Xiaotian.
As the attack was unleashed, the Abyss of Darkness felt a terrifying Heavenly Power descending upon them.
The Abyss of Darkness gasped in horror, "Heavenly Power!"
Heavenly Power was the tier that existed above Holy Power!
Like the Present Buddha, this opponent had successfully cultivated Heavenly Power!
Reacting instantly, the Abyss of Darkness shifted into his dark form and countered with the full extent of his palm strength.
However, despite his transformation and maximum effort, he was unable to fully block the opponent's strike.
A remnant of the force slipped past the Abyss of Darkness, surging toward Yang Xiaotian.
Even a fraction of an Innate Demon God’s power was cataclysmic. A typical Holy Emperor Realm expert would have been pulverized instantly by such a blow.
The Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor and the other Dragon Ancestors roared in fury, their bodies radiating Dragon Force as they tried to rush to his aid.
Just as the palm force was about to connect with Yang Xiaotian, Space-Time suddenly froze. The area directly in front of Yang Xiaotian became completely stagnant.
In that frozen moment, Yang Xiaotian reached out and gave a slight press. The opponent’s devastating palm force shattered like a fragile bubble.
The entire assembly was stunned.
The Innate Demon God was equally paralyzed with disbelief.
"This is impossible!" the Innate Demon God cried out in shock. "You... the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin Power?! You have actually refined the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin Power!"
The Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor and the other Dragon Ancestors were shaken to their core.
Their Majesty had mastered the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin Power?
The Abyss of Darkness, the Dragon Corpse Beasts, and the Destroying Heaven Demon were all left in a state of utter bewilderment.
Time itself seemed to have stopped.
A heavy silence fell over Heaven and Earth.
The Innate Demon God’s heart sank. He realized too late that Yang Xiaotian’s true trump card wasn't the Abyss of Darkness—it was Yang Xiaotian himself! The youth was his own greatest protector!
If Yang Xiaotian had refined the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin Power, then what chance did he have?
Thinking quickly, he attempted to dissipate his physical form to flee the Ancestral Dragon Realm.
However, Yang Xiaotian had waited too long for such a valuable prize to let him slip away now.
Yang Xiaotian reached into the void, and the very fabric of space crumpled like paper, forcing the vanishing Innate Demon God to manifest once more.
Looking at Yang Xiaotian, the once-arrogant Demon God finally showed a look of pure panic on his face.
"I offered you a chance, but you threw it away," Yang Xiaotian said coldly, beginning to walk through the air toward his foe.
Only now did the Innate Demon God Powerhouse comprehend the weight of Yang Xiaotian’s earlier ultimatum.
With a desperate roar, the demon's body expanded vastly, transforming into a gargantuan Demon God that towered between Heaven and Earth. An invincible, suffocating aura radiated from him, crushing down upon the Ancestral Dragon Realm.
Every Dragon Clan powerhouse felt a wave of terror wash over them.
Even the Destroying Heaven Demon and the Blood Demon Old Monster were stunned. The sheer power radiating from the Innate Demon God was several times greater than it had been moments before.
Was this the true, unleashed might of an Innate Demon God Powerhouse?
In his true form, the opponent brought his palms down like two massive demonic mountains, aiming to crush Yang Xiaotian, the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor, and everyone nearby.
The surrounding space groaned and trembled as if it were on the verge of total collapse.
Yet, Yang Xiaotian simply turned his palms upward, meeting the supposedly invincible strike and halting it effortlessly.
