Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2130: 2130: Bright Holy Heavenly Palace

“Do you know where Yang Xiaotian is at the moment?” The Master of Holy Realm demanded in a frosty tone.

The intense wave of killing intent radiating from the Master of Holy Realm left Chen Mo, Wu Chong, and the rest in stunned silence, gripped by fear.

“We’ve found out that Yang Xiaotian has gone into the Tianzu Mountains!” Chen Mo replied without delay.

“Tianzu Mountains!” The Master of Holy Realm appeared confused.

What could draw Yang Xiaotian to the Tianzu Mountains?

Typically, once he obtained the Bright Heavenly Ginseng, Yang Xiaotian would seek out a hidden spot to absorb and integrate that treasure.

So why had Yang Xiaotian departed from the Bright Heavenly River toward the Tianzu Mountains?

Suddenly, the Master of Holy Realm understood: the Tianzu Mountains served as the ancestral homeland of the Bright Saint Clan. Yang Xiaotian must have uncovered some secret, prompting his journey there.

Without a moment’s pause, he commanded Chen Mo and the Holy Realm Academy elders: “Send out the order—lock down the whole Tianzu Mountains!”

With that, he soared upward into the heavens, vanishing in a flash: “All of you, move to the Tianzu Mountains!”

“Also, summon the Empire Army over here!”

The Master of Holy Realm’s words reverberated from far across the horizon.

Hearing that the Master of Holy Realm planned to call in the Empire Army, Chen Mo, Wu Chong, and the others felt a surge of excitement and bowed in agreement.

Before long, the Master of Holy Realm’s directive reached back to the Holy Realm.

One wave after another of the Empire Army poured out from the Holy Realm, streaming toward their target without end.

The massive deployment of the Empire Army alerted powerful experts from many realms.

In no time at all, Yang Xiaotian and his followers caught wind of the Master of Holy Realm sending the Empire Army to blockade the Tianzu Mountains.

“Your Majesty, do we unleash the Primordial Demon Army?” Rain Demon asked right away.

With the Master of Holy Realm bringing in the Empire Army, it made sense for them to counter with the Primordial Demon Army!

“Hold off for now.” Yang Xiaotian refused with a shake of his head.

Should he locate the Ancient Heavenly Court and succeed in refining it, he might uncover the Bright Heavenly Origin. Refining that would elevate him to Bright Heavenly Realm Master, rendering the Primordial Demon Army unnecessary.

Yang Xiaotian and his team steered their spaceship deeper into the Tianzu Mountains, pressing on.

On this occasion, the Tianzu Mountains weren’t their actual goal—the Master of Holy Realm had gotten it wrong; their real target lay in the Devil Forest.

The prime cultivation Cave Mansion of the Bright Heavenly Emperor hid inside the Devil Forest, not the Tianzu Mountains.

Still, Yang Xiaotian activated the Dragon Night Spaceship’s barriers, employing the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique to conceal their presence. As a result, the Master of Holy Realm knew only that Yang Xiaotian had entered the Tianzu Mountains, unaware they had already slipped away.

As the Master of Holy Realm focused on enclosing the Tianzu Mountains, four days passed, and Yang Xiaotian’s group reached the Devil Forest.

Devil Forest loomed as a domain where demonic energy soared skyward and ghostly chills permeated the atmosphere.

In the Bright Heavenly Realm, Devil Forest stood out as exceptionally distinct.

No other spot in the Bright Heavenly Realm held such thick concentrations of demonic energy and ghost energy.

“Supreme demons and mighty ghost beings must lurk inside Devil Forest!” Rain Demon declared solemnly.

Even he sensed the oppressive pressure from those supreme demons and ghost beings.

Inside the Abyss of Darkness, Bloodthirsty Evil Demon and the rest stayed on full alert.

“Yes, a supreme demon and a fearsome ghost creature are indeed confined in this Devil Forest,” Bright Heavenly Ginseng explained: “The Bright Heavenly Emperor barely managed to bind them after great struggle.”

“Yet, thanks to the Bright Heavenly Emperor’s seal, these supreme demons and ghost creatures can’t break out.”

Even so, as it spoke, doubt lingered in its tone.

Over all these years, the condition of the Bright Heavenly Emperor’s seal remained unknown.

Given the overwhelming demonic and ghost energy now saturating Devil Forest, the Bright Heavenly Emperor’s seal had probably weakened.

“Stay on guard, everyone!” Yang Xiaotian warned, “We’re heading inside!”

With those words, he directed the spaceship through the swirling demonic and ghost energy, plunging into Devil Forest.

From outside, the group had felt the oppressive demonic and ghost energy in Devil Forest. But once within, its intensity proved far more overwhelming than they’d anticipated.

Demonic and ghost energy twisted together, creating an immense ocean that swallowed every inch of Devil Forest.

The heavy buildup of demonic and ghost energy had spawned countless ghost spirits and demon spirits.

The moment Yang Xiaotian’s party stepped into Devil Forest, these ghost spirits and demon spirits bared their massive, bloodied jaws and charged forward.

Yang Xiaotian skipped the power of the Bright Heavenly Emperor, calling forth the innate Buddha force instead, which erupted like a raging tidal wave.

Three thousand Buddha Ancestors materialized behind Yang Xiaotian.

In a blink, every advancing ghost spirit and demon spirit got purified, reduced to dust.

“Innate Buddha Force!” Bright Heavenly Ginseng cried out, witnessing Yang Xiaotian encircled by the Buddha Ancestors.

“Show us the path!” Yang Xiaotian directed Bright Heavenly Ginseng.

Bright Heavenly Ginseng jolted back to focus.

“Veer around this spot, then go south.” Bright Heavenly Ginseng indicated a route.

Yet that route was blocked by enormous demon trees.

Yang Xiaotian maneuvered the spaceship past the towering demon trees, heading south.

Devil Forest contained endless spatial arrays, woven together in a tangled maze of dimensions; one wrong turn could trap you forever.

Guided by Bright Heavenly Ginseng, the group navigated without incident.

Yang Xiaotian marveled at how well Bright Heavenly Ginseng knew Devil Forest’s routes.

After a twisting half-hour flight full of turns, they arrived at Devil Forest’s core.

A grand palace rose before their eyes.

The palace had been forged from a single massive block of Bright Holy Heavenly Stone, the finest substance from the Bright System in the Bright Heavenly Realm, brimming with the purest Power of Bright.

But now, the palace lay shrouded in demonic and ghost energy.

Demonic and ghost energy clung to the Bright Holy Heavenly Stone like sticky webs.

Yang Xiaotian peered into the palace’s heart, spotting two Bright Arrays carved into the floor, though their runes had faded to near invisibility, with demonic and ghost energy bursting from the arrays.

It was plain that the Bright Heavenly Emperor’s sealing arrays neared total breakdown; in less than a hundred years, the trapped demons and ghost creatures would escape.

Taking in the sight, Yang Xiaotian wasted no time, drawing on the power of the Bright Heavenly Emperor. Under its glow, the faded and damaged Bright Holy Heavenly Palace started to gleam once more.

However, the Bright Holy Heavenly Palace’s corrosion ran so deep that even Yang Xiaotian’s use of the Bright Heavenly Emperor’s power failed to quickly drive away the attached demonic and ghost energy.

At that, Yang Xiaotian also summoned the innate Buddha force alongside the power of the Sixteen Wings of Bright.

Bolstered by the innate Buddha force and the Sixteen Wings of Bright, the Bright Holy Heavenly Palace lit up with greater speed.
