Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2152: Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and Mad Demon Join Forces

Experts from the Meng Family witnessed the Mad Demon arriving at the forefront of a band of Demon Sect powerhouses, and much like the Meng Family Ancestor, their expressions turned to utter hopelessness.

At the start, a faint trace of optimism had remained, yet the Mad Demon's arrival demolished every bit of that optimism.

Upon spotting the Mad Demon, even the U Ghost Evil God showed a subtle shift in his face, causing him and his vast army of hundreds of thousands to halt their assault.

"So it’s you, Lord Mad Demon." The U Ghost Evil God remarked with a forced smile, "I didn’t expect even Lord Mad Demon would come."

The Mad Demon cast a glance at the U Ghost Evil God and his insincere grin, then replied, "If you, U Ghost, can come, why can’t I, the Mad Demon, come?"

Sensing the irritation in the Mad Demon’s tone, the U Ghost Evil God forced another smile, "You misunderstood, Lord Mad Demon, I didn’t mean it like that."

The Mad Demon declared, "U Ghost, I want that Innate Star Core, you and your subordinates can leave now."

The U Ghost Evil God’s smile stiffened, and he let out a chuckle, "Since Lord Mad Demon has spoken, we will take our leave." With those words, he signaled with a wave for withdrawal, then soared off into the distance.

His followers took to the skies one by one, departing as well.

Meng Family powerhouses stood stunned.

No one could have foreseen the U Ghost Evil God retreating so easily.

As he observed the U Ghost Evil God vanishing into the horizon, the Mad Demon sneered coldly. Naturally, he harbored no belief that the U Ghost Evil God had genuinely departed.

The Mad Demon easily deduced the U Ghost Evil God’s scheme: hiding nearby, allowing him and the Meng Family to exhaust each other in combat, then swooping in with his forces at the opportune moment to claim the spoils.

Yet the Mad Demon dismissed the U Ghost Evil God’s petty plots. Turning his gaze to the Meng Family Ancestor, he commanded, "Old man of the Meng Family, open the Meng Family Grand Array. I will take the Innate Star Core and then leave with my people, without harming anyone from the Meng Family."

Though the Mad Demon seemed polite on the outside, the Meng Family Ancestor distrusted him even more. The Mad Demon belonged to the same breed as the U Ghost Evil God—far more vicious and treacherous.

"I will not open the Meng Family Grand Array. As I said before, we of the Meng Family will excavate the Innate Star Core and then hand it over to you. Please, Lord Mad Demon, pardon us." The Meng Family Ancestor replied, cupping his hands in respect.

"Pardon?" The Mad Demon roared with laughter at the heavens. "What if I refuse?" His eyes then blazed with fierce Demon Flames as he fixed his stare on the Meng Family Ancestor. "Think carefully. If I attack, this Meng Family Grand Array can hold me at most for a day!"

The Meng Family Ancestor shook his head firmly, "Forgive me, but I cannot open the Meng Family Grand Array."

Regardless of the Mad Demon’s persuasions, he refused to activate the Meng Family Grand Array.

Hearing this defiance, the Mad Demon stopped talking, his gaze turning savage, "Attack!" Flames of Demon energy erupted around him, morphing his form into a gigantic Mad Demon Body, and he slammed a fist toward the Meng Family Grand Array.

The powerhouses loyal to the Mad Demon sprang into motion as well.

A thunderous explosion resounded through the air.

Despite the unified efforts of the Meng Family’s experts bolstering it, the Meng Family Grand Array trembled fiercely.

In that instant, from the distant horizon, a brilliant Buddha Light erupted, immense and ocean-like, surging toward them. This radiance caught the Mad Demon and his Demon Sect followers off guard.

All eyes turned, revealing a horde of Buddha Sect powerhouses shattering the skies as they advanced.

At their helm loomed a towering Buddha clutching a Zen Staff, clad in a shimmering golden Kasaya.

Upon recognizing this enormous Buddha, even the Mad Demon’s face grew solemn, "Heavenly Slaughter Buddha!"

Within the Buddha Sect, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha ranked just below the Present Buddha.

The Present Buddha had entered deep seclusion for years, making the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha essentially the current head of the Buddha Sect.

Witnessing the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha accompanied by a million Buddha Sect powerhouses, the Meng Family Ancestor’s spirits plummeted once more. The Meng Family shared no ties with the Buddha Sect; the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha’s arrival with his legions was surely not for their rescue.

Without question, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and his Buddha Sect forces sought the Innate Star Core as well.

In a flash, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and the Buddha Sect experts reached the battlefield.

"Amitabha Buddha!" The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha proclaimed as he arrived, chanting Amitabha Buddha. Similar to the Mad Demon, he urged the Meng Family Ancestor to deactivate the Meng Family Grand Array, vowing that should the Meng Family yield, neither he nor the Buddha Sect powerhouses would assault them and would ensure the Meng Family disciples escaped slaughter by the Mad Demon’s troops.

The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha’s assurance greatly tempted the Meng Family Ancestor.

After all, the Buddha Sect’s reputation for honor surpassed that of the Mad Demon and U Ghost Evil God from the Evil Sect and Demon Path.

"If Lord Heavenly Slaughter Buddha vows by the Heavenly Dao, then I will open the Meng Family Grand Array, allowing Lord Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and the Buddha Sect Buddhas to enter." The Meng Family Ancestor stated.

The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha’s brow furrowed at the Meng Family Ancestor’s demand for a Heavenly Dao oath.

"Old man of the Meng Family, how dare you! Our Lord Heavenly Slaughter Buddha said he would protect your Meng Family, and he will certainly do so. How dare you ask our Lord Heavenly Slaughter Buddha to vow by the Heavenly Dao!" A Buddha Sect expert snapped icily.

It was obvious the Meng Family Ancestor lacked faith in their Lord Heavenly Slaughter Buddha.

The Meng Family Ancestor shook his head, "I do this for the safety of the Meng Family. Please, Lord Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and everyone else, understand."

The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha responded, "If that is the case, we will not force you." He then addressed the Mad Demon, "Mad Demon, what if we join forces to break open the Meng Family Grand Array?"

The Mad Demon was caught off guard.

Meng Family members’ faces twisted in shock, never anticipating the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha’s suggestion to ally with the Mad Demon!

"Break open the Meng Family Grand Array, and whoever gets the Innate Star Core, it depends on ability!" The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha continued, "As for the Meng Family’s Treasure Vault, our Buddha Sect will take sixty percent, and you get forty percent!"

Clearly, in this expedition, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha aimed not just to claim the Innate Star Core but also to plunder the Meng Family’s Treasure Vault!

Seeing the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha coveting their Treasure Vault and brazenly dividing it sixty-forty with the Mad Demon before their eyes, the Meng Family burned with rage.

The Meng Family Ancestor fumed as well, "Heavenly Slaughter Buddha, you actually teamed up with people of the Demon Path! A disgrace to the founding ancestor of the Buddha Sect!"

He was merely a breath away from branding them shameless.

The Mad Demon eyed the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and burst into laughter, "Such broad-mindedness, Heavenly Slaughter Buddha, I admire it. Alright, let’s join forces to break the Meng Family Grand Array!"

With that declaration, both unleashed their assaults on the Meng Family Grand Array together.

The followers of the Mad Demon and Heavenly Slaughter Buddha joined the barrage against the Meng Family Grand Array.

Beneath the apocalyptic might of the Mad Demon and Heavenly Slaughter Buddha’s forces, the Meng Family Grand Array wavered on the verge of shattering.

Amid the earth-shaking blasts, Meng Family powerhouses felt their vital energies churn wildly.

Meng Family disciples spat out blood one after another.

If previously the Meng Family Grand Array could withstand the Mad Demon and his Demon Sect forces for a full day, now it might endure scarcely an hour.

While the Mad Demon and Heavenly Slaughter Buddha’s experts hammered relentlessly at the Meng Family Grand Array, the Ancient Heavenly Court pierced through the starry expanse of the Ancient Star Realm, penetrating into the realm itself.

The moment they crossed into the Ancient Star Realm, Yang Xiaotian and his companions caught the tremendous booms echoing from the distant skyline.

"It’s coming from the direction of the Meng Family!" Rain Demon, Abyss of Darkness, and the rest exclaimed in alarm.

"Such astonishing Magic Power and Buddha Force, who is it?!"

Yang Xiaotian’s heart raced with urgency; he hastily summoned another Acceleration Divine Talisman, empowering the Ancient Heavenly Court and hurtling toward the Meng Family at full speed.
