Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2134: 2134: Bounty on the Master of Holy Realm
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
After obtaining the Supreme Treasure of the Ancient Heavenly Court, Yang Xiaotian ceased his entanglement with the Eight Ancestors from the Holy Realm Academy.
Yang Xiaotian summoned Master Ding back and activated the Dark Divine Skill right away, vanishing into the emptiness.
The Eight Ancestors of the Holy Realm Academy found themselves unable to pursue him even if they desired to.
At present, as Yang Xiaotian employed the Dark Divine Skill alongside the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique, and with Master Ding aiding in masking his presence, tracking him down proved utterly impossible for the Eight Ancestors of the Holy Realm Academy.
As they observed Yang Xiaotian fade into the void, the Eight Ancestors of the Holy Realm Academy wore faces of utmost severity while drawing near the corpse of the Son of the Holy Realm, shuddering at the fury soon to erupt from the Master of Holy Realm.
“Should we inform His Majesty?” one of them inhaled deeply and suggested.
The remaining seven managed a reluctant nod.
All recognized that hiding this incident was futile. Despite the looming rage of the Master of Holy Realm, reporting it remained essential.
In that instant, Chen Mo, Wu Chong, and their companions were briefing the Master of Holy Realm on the troops' incursion into the Sun God Tribe's domain to hunt for Yang Xiaotian, noting how they had been halted by a horde of Sun God Tribe powerhouses upon entry, all now seized and confined within Cold Smoke Ancient City.
“How many did you manage to seize?” the Master of Holy Realm inquired.
“Roughly three to four hundred thousand,” Chen Mo answered deferentially. “Yet some put up such fierce opposition that we executed more than a hundred thousand right there!”
The Master of Holy Realm gave a nod and prepared to command the slaughter of every defiant expert from the Sun God Tribe when abruptly, the Message Talisman on his waist began to shine.
Perplexed, he removed it for inspection and realized it came from the Eight Ancestors assigned to protect the Son of the Holy Realm. An unsettling premonition surged within him for no apparent reason.
Tension mounting, he unveiled its contents.
The instant he read the inscription on the Message Talisman—“The Son of the Holy Realm fell to Yang Xiaotian's blade, and the Ancient Heavenly Court fell into Yang Xiaotian's grasp”—his thoughts exploded in chaos, his grip trembled fiercely, and he froze in place, vision unfocused.
Chen Mo, Wu Chong, and the rest marveled at their Master of Holy Realm's stunned expression.
“Yang Xiaotian!” Abruptly, the Master of Holy Realm unleashed a heartrending bellow, his tone brimming with infinite murderous resolve.
This outburst from the Master of Holy Realm jolted Chen Mo, Wu Chong, and their group.
“Gang’er!” He wailed next, genuine sobs escaping as tears poured down his cheeks. The Son of the Holy Realm, Lei Gang, had grown under his personal guidance. Though not by blood, he cherished him beyond a mere son.
For countless years, he had anticipated Lei Gang's mastery of the Bright Heavenly Origin, ascending to Lord of the Bright Heavenly Realm.
Upon Lei Gang's rise to Lord of the Bright Heavenly Realm, he intended to proclaim this triumphant revelation across the Eternal Realm.
Yet now!
“Yang Xiaotian! Your end will come by my hand!” the Master of Holy Realm howled in grief.
Hearing their Master of Holy Realm abruptly invoke Yang Xiaotian's name, then mourn the perished Son of the Holy Realm, and finally vow his demise, Chen Mo, Wu Chong, and the others felt dread grip their hearts.
Did Yang Xiaotian truly claim their Highness's life?!
Acceptance eluded them.
They struggled to fathom Yang Xiaotian's boldness in such an act!
“Lock down the Bright Heaven Heavenly Palace restricted zone!” the Master of Holy Realm bellowed suddenly. “Command every force to converge on the Bright Heaven Heavenly Palace restricted zone at once!”
The remnants of the Bright Heaven Heavenly Palace lay nestled inside the Bright Heaven Heavenly Palace restricted zone.
“Post a massive bounty for Yang Xiaotian. Whosoever seizes Yang Xiaotian shall receive one trillion and ten thousand drops of Holy Realm Origin Liquid!”
Shouted the Master of Holy Realm.
One trillion in bounty!
Plus ten thousand drops of Holy Realm Origin Liquid!
Chen Mo, Wu Chong, and their allies reeled in profound shock.
All grasped the immense value of Holy Realm Origin Liquid. Back when Yang Xiaotian took Bai Yan as his master during the ceremony, the Son of the Holy Realm forfeited two thousand two hundred drops of Holy Realm Origin Liquid to him in a bet, leaving the Holy Realm Academy's elders in prolonged agony.
Now, the bounty stood at ten thousand drops!
How many ages would the Holy Realm require to yield ten thousand drops of Origin Liquid!
By now, the truth dawned on everyone.
Though the Master of Holy Realm withheld full details, Chen Mo, Wu Chong, and the rest pieced together the tragedy.
That Yang Xiaotian had slain the Son of the Holy Realm? The Holy Realm Academy members could barely contain their seething urge to kill.
Before long, the Master of Holy Realm's bounty decree rippled outward.
The Bright Heavenly Realm quaked in response.
The Eternal Realm plunged into chaos.
One trillion and ten thousand drops of Holy Realm Origin Liquid!
Aimed squarely at Yang Xiaotian!
The Eternal Realm could scarcely remain unmoved.
Despite the Master of Holy Realm and Holy Realm Academy's silence on the Son of the Holy Realm, whispers of Yang Xiaotian's slaying of the Son swiftly circulated.
After all, Master Ding's clash with the Eight Ancestors of the Holy Realm Academy had drawn the attention of countless powerhouses.
Furthermore, with the Son of the Holy Realm's demise, his Soul Jade Medallion in the Holy Realm Academy had fractured, rendering any cover-up impossible.
“What? Yang Xiaotian felled the Son of the Holy Realm!” Cheng Zhan, Li Quan, and Liao Yuan of the World Academy gaped in disbelief; the revelation hit like thunder.
“Yang Xiaotian seeks his own doom! Utterly seeks it! A mere Saint Ancestor Realm cultivator, bold enough to assassinate the Son of the Holy Realm, to taunt the Master of Holy Realm so brazenly! Even Bai Yan can't shield him now, I wager!” Cheng Zhan beamed with thrill and delight at the report.
Yang Xiaotian's self-destruction was a spectacle he relished.
“Yang Xiaotian's arrogance knows no bounds, strutting as if unbeatable after absorbing the Dragon Realm and Primordial Demon World origins?” Li Quan scoffed. “We'll sit back and enjoy the show!”
The veteran ancestors of the Holy Realm Academy, including Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and their peers, also reeled upon hearing of Yang Xiaotian's deed against the Son of the Holy Realm.
“War looms large ahead!” Xin Lei lamented with a heavy breath.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian caught wind of the Master of Holy Realm's mandate to barricade the Bright Heaven Heavenly Palace restricted zone and the staggering bounty of one trillion plus ten thousand drops of Holy Realm Origin Liquid on his head.
Learning of the pursuit against him, Yang Xiaotian directed Rain Demon, “Spread the word: anyone who apprehends the Master of Holy Realm earns ten thousand Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Dao Pills!”
With the Master of Holy Realm hunting him via bounty, reciprocity demanded action!
Rain Demon froze in surprise, then burst with fervor, “Understood, Your Majesty!”
Who else in existence would dare bounty the Master of Holy Realm? Likely none but their sovereign!
“Furthermore, announce this too: captors of any Hall Master or ancestor from the Holy Realm Academy receive one thousand Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Dao Pills!” Yang Xiaotian declared.
He possessed no shortage of Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Dao Pills, after all.
Should supplies dwindle, he could forage more ingredients and dedicate moments to brewing additional batches.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Rain Demon, Abyss of Darkness, and the others affirmed with vigor.
As Rain Demon, Abyss of Darkness, and their team propagated the decree, the intelligence of Yang Xiaotian's counter-bounty on the Master of Holy Realm and Holy Realm Academy ancestors rapidly proliferated.
Every domain mirrored the shock and upheaval.
Catching the tidings, Bai Yan chuckled while shaking his head, “That rascal!”
Yet, issuing a bounty against the Master of Holy Realm? Utterly unprecedented!
Having tasked Rain Demon with broadcasting the proclamations, Yang Xiaotian departed the Bright Heaven Heavenly Palace restricted zone alongside Rain Demon and their entourage, making for a forsaken ancient city to erect an array and commence the fusion and refinement of the Supreme Treasure of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
