Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2151: The Meng Family Ancestor’s Despair
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
"Ancestral Lord, there's no need to fret excessively. In the direst scenario, we could simply surrender this Innate Star Core," proposed the Meng Family head, observing the anxious look on the Meng Family Ancestor's face.
Shaking his head, the Meng Family Ancestor responded, "Surrender it? Enveloped by those devastating Star Storms around this Innate Star Core, how exactly do you plan to surrender it?"
Pulling out an Innate Star Core proves far from simple.
Thanks to the destructive Star Storms encircling the Innate Star Core, even a mighty clan like the Meng Family might require decades to retrieve one.
However, experts from numerous realms had already converged here, granting the Meng Family no opportunity to retrieve this Innate Star Core!
As long as this Innate Star Core stays inside the Meng Family's territory, the entire Meng Family risks total destruction!
"Issue the command: every Meng Family disciple must prepare for full-scale combat!" the Meng Family Ancestor ordered in a frosty tone.
Following the Meng Family Ancestor's directive, disciples across all ranks in the Meng Family entered heightened alert, equipping themselves with all available elixirs and gear.
Meng Bingxue was one among them!
Once Meng Bingxue stepped into the Holy Realm, she employed a hidden method to reach out to the Meng Family and got escorted back.
Owing to her elite bloodline, she received intense focus from the Meng Family's cultivation efforts over the years, surging ahead in power and recently surpassing into the Holy Emperor Realm.
Meng Bingxue, together with a squad of the Meng Family's elite disciples, patrolled a key section of the Meng Family grounds.
In her grasp was a token she caressed tenderly with fond memories.
Yang Xiaotian had presented her with this token after ascending to Master of Myriad Domains in the Lower Realm.
The token bore the engraving "Myriad Domains."
"Xiaotian," she murmured gently, eyes fixed on the Myriad Domains token.
The Meng Family stood on the brink of clashing with overwhelming foes from across the realms; survival against the onslaught remained doubtful. Should they fall, she and the whole Meng Family could vanish eternally from existence.
At that point, reuniting with Xiaotian might prove impossible forever.
Memories of moments shared with Yang Xiaotian in the Lower Realm flooded her mind, causing tears to stream down her cheeks without restraint.
Upon returning to the Meng Family, Meng Bingxue was promptly dispatched into the family's Secret Realm for rigorous training because of her exceptional heritage, only just reemerging.
Furthermore, Meng Family disciples had seldom left their domain for years, with little talk of external matters, leaving her in the dark about Yang Xiaotian's present circumstances.
As Meng Bingxue stroked the Myriad Domains token, a thunderous blast abruptly rocked the entire Meng Family domain with ferocity.
Meng Bingxue and the nearby elite disciples all jolted in shock.
Evidently, an attacker was striking at the Meng Family's protective grand array.
And this attacker wielded immense power!
The Meng Family ranked as a supreme clan in the Eternal Realm, yet these enemies attacked boldly, showing no fear of the Meng Family!
In that instant, a shrill, wicked cackle pierced the air.
"Old Meng, fling open the Meng Family's grand array at once and emerge to welcome my master, the Evil God Wu Gui!" a haughty shout boomed throughout the Meng Family's domain.
Hearing this, numerous Meng Family powerhouses grew pale.
Some Meng Family disciples turned ghostly white, eyes filled with dread.
"Evil God Wu Gui?!"
The Evil God Wu Gui ranked among the top ten overlords of the Evil Sect.
To Meng Family disciples, such an entity loomed as a horrifying behemoth.
Even the Meng Family Ancestor felt a jolt of alarm.
He hadn't anticipated the arrival of someone so overwhelmingly strong.
Although he held the title of Supreme Overlord on the Eternal Realm List, a vast disparity separated him from an Evil Sect top-ten like the Evil God Wu Gui.
Drawing a steadying breath, he then soared into the skies above the Meng Family domain, accompanied by a cadre of Meng Family patriarchs.
Once aloft, the Meng Family Ancestor and his companions beheld a sprawling Ghost Sea ahead, atop which towered the massive silhouette of an evil sect overlord, exuding arrogance while cloaked in spectral energies.
It was none other than the Evil God Wu Gui!
Right behind the Evil God Wu Gui, at no great distance, massed a huge army of evil sect overlords, counting in the hundreds of thousands.
All consisted of formidable experts gathered by the Evil God Wu Gui, with many infamous for their brutality.
Facing the imposing lineup of the Evil God Wu Gui, the Meng Family Ancestor's spirits plummeted.
"Lord Wu Gui graces us with your visit," the Meng Family Ancestor composed himself and offered a respectful fist salute.
"Old Meng, skip the pleasantries. Swing open the Meng Family's grand array right away, for I seek only the Innate Star Core!" The Evil God Wu Gui cut straight to it, "Refuse, and I'll shatter your grand array—then I may claim far more than just the Innate Star Core."
With that, the Evil God Wu Gui unleashed a bone-chilling guffaw.
The throng of evil sect overlords trailing him leered viciously at the Meng Family members.
The Meng Family Ancestor declared resolutely, "The Meng Family never meant to keep the Innate Star Core; we'll retrieve it so Lord Wu Gui can claim it—what say you?"
The Evil God Wu Gui's declarations were, of course, utterly unreliable.
Evil sect overlords spew nothing but lies; opening the Meng Family's grand array would invite disaster, with the women disciples falling first to the invading horde.
"Who can guess how long your extraction will drag on?" The Evil God Wu Gui's gaze turned glacial, "One last time: unlock the Meng Family's grand array immediately, or face your clan's obliteration!"
"As I said, if the Innate Star Core is what you desire, we'll pull it out for your taking," the Meng Family Ancestor repeated firmly, head shaking in refusal.
A malevolent grin twisted the Evil God Wu Gui's features as his ghost energy erupted, "Slaughter them!"
"Smash through the Meng Family's grand array!"
"Plunder the Meng Family, grab every Spirit Stone!"
The Evil God Wu Gui's commands sent icy dread gripping the hearts of the Meng Family folk.
At the Evil God Wu Gui's signal, the swarm of evil sect overlords bellowed in savage glee and unleashed their might, pummeling the Meng Family's grand array.
Beneath the unyielding barrage from the Evil God Wu Gui and his vast army of evil sect overlords, the array's runes wavered like a flame battered by gales.
Despite the Meng Family's powerhouses pouring everything into bolstering the grand array, its glow steadily weakened.
Seeing the grand array's light dimming, the Meng Family Ancestor's heart plunged deeper.
Should this persist, the grand array won't endure more than a handful of days. Its fall would turn the Meng Family's hundred billion disciples into a gore-soaked banquet for these evil sect titans.
Powerful as the Meng Family may be, boasting armies to match other Supreme Empires, they couldn't repel the Evil God Wu Gui alongside his swarm of evil sect overlords.
On this occasion, the Evil God Wu Gui commanded hundreds of thousands of overlords, each at the Unity Realm Stage.
Not a single weakling in their ranks.
Gazing into the emptiness, he noted it shrouded in crimson webs—a Blood Net deployed by the Evil God Wu Gui, trapping Meng Family disciples with no path to flee.
Across endless eras, the Meng Family endured countless crises and tempests, never once crumbling.
Yet now, does the Meng Family's doom truly loom inevitable?
Just then, boisterous laughter rang out anew, as a band of demon sect overlords, led by the Mad Demon—who once sought to mentor Yang Xiaotian—burst onto the scene from above, trailed by the Mad Demon's personal cadre of demon sect overlords.
The Meng Family Ancestor identified the Mad Demon and sank into utter hopelessness; resisting one Evil God Wu Gui strained them already, and now an even deadlier Mad Demon had joined the fray!
