Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2156: Entering Thunder Sound Mountain

Quickly, the directives from the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha spread far and wide.

Every mighty expert across the Buddha World exploded in rage.

"The Buddha’s Kasaya stands as an ultimate treasure that every soul deserves a shot at claiming. By what right does the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha seal off Thunder Sound Mountain?"

Numerous formidable powerhouses, trusting in their own might, brushed aside the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's commands and pressed on toward Thunder Sound Mountain.

In the end, the allure of the Buddha’s Kasaya proved irresistible to all inhabitants of the Buddha World.

Yang Xiaotian and his companions, en route to Thunder Sound Mountain, caught wind of the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's decrees as well.

"Is this Heavenly Slaughter Buddha under the delusion that he's the head of the Buddha Sect, commanding the shutdown of Thunder Sound Mountain?" Mad Demon scoffed as he heard the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's instructions.

Should the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha truly hold the position of Buddha Sect leader, the denizens of the Buddha World would surely hesitate to defy him, yet he held no such title at present!

The reality was that the majority of powerhouses at Heavenly Buddha Mountain chose to heed his directives.

Still, Heavenly Buddha Mountain couldn't speak for the whole Buddha World.

Yang Xiaotian and his group, of course, paid no mind to the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's edicts and kept advancing toward Thunder Sound Mountain alongside the throng.

During their journey, reports flooded in about fierce clashes breaking out near Thunder Sound Mountain.

The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha had sent troops to surround Thunder Sound Mountain already, yet elite figures kept charging forward, sparking violent confrontations.

Several days passed before Yang Xiaotian and his allies spotted Thunder Sound Mountain in the far distance.

Perched high above the Buddha sea, Thunder Sound Mountain pierced the heavens, its majesty overwhelming. Even from afar, the crowd sensed the unparalleled Buddha aura pouring forth from Thunder Sound Mountain.

Tales claim that the Past Buddha himself crafted Thunder Sound Mountain, imbuing it with his own transcendent Buddha aura.

Encircling the sea that cradled Thunder Sound Mountain, a massive force stood ready, entirely loyal to the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha.

Despite relentless attacks from elites of diverse groups, reinforcements from the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's side swelled the ranks over time, fortifying the encirclement around Thunder Sound Mountain. Latecomers among the masters found it ever harder to pierce the bolstered lines.

When Yang Xiaotian and his party drew closer to Thunder Sound Mountain, the chief commander of the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's forces bellowed, "Stop right there! By order of Master Heavenly Slaughter Buddha, none may advance toward Thunder Sound Mountain!"

"Defy this, and you'll all face capture, thrown into the Buddha Prison!"

"Never to see freedom again!"

Never to see freedom again!

The chief commander aimed through these harsh threats to drill into Yang Xiaotian and the rest the dire perils of storming Thunder Sound Mountain!

Yet no sooner had the chief commander uttered his warning than Mad Demon lashed out with a savage claw: "Out of my path!"

A horrifying demonic talon crashed down without delay onto the chief commander's skull; though he scrambled in terror to shield himself, Mad Demon's strike hurled him straight into the depths of the sea.

The waters surged and boiled, unleashing a storm of enormous swells.

The enormous army fell into utter chaos.

Just as the soldiers moved to surround them, Mad Demon roared, "The Lord of Three Realms has arrived; who among you dares block the way?!"

The Lord of Three Realms has arrived!

Like booming thunderclaps, Mad Demon's proclamation reverberated through the ranks posted on all flanks.

The soldiers poised to close in pulled back in stunned retreat.

Yang Xiaotian summoned his Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body, unleashing a domineering holy presence that swept over the lands.

Upon witnessing Yang Xiaotian's Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body, not a single warrior in the ranks mustered the nerve to challenge or halt him, fleeing in fright instead.

Guiding Mad Demon, Rain Demon, King of Netherworld, and the rest, Yang Xiaotian plunged into the heart of Thunder Sound Mountain.

"Relay to the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha: pull back his troops from Thunder Sound Mountain and end this siege; fail to do so, and should I claim the Buddha’s Kasaya, he'll grovel at Heavenly Buddha Mountain for a full century." Yang Xiaotian's words echoed out from inside Thunder Sound Mountain.

The commanders of the army exchanged bewildered glances.

Right then, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and his followers had reached the vicinity, and his expression darkened to a sickly pallor as he heard Yang Xiaotian had forced his way into Thunder Sound Mountain.

The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's own aides seethed with outrage too.

"Who does Yang Xiaotian believe himself to be, bold enough to dictate to our Master Heavenly Slaughter Buddha? Does he fancy himself the ruler of the Buddha World?!" All the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's followers burned with fury.

The earlier clash over the Innate Star Core had already stoked deep resentment in the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's aides against Yang Xiaotian. They hadn't anticipated his return to vie for the Buddha’s Kasaya while berating their Master Heavenly Slaughter Buddha.

The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha let out a cold laugh, "Find the Buddha’s Kasaya? Yang Xiaotian, with me standing guard, you'll never lay hands on the Buddha’s Kasaya! If it's anyone who claims it, that honor falls to me alone!"

Saying this, he produced a strand of Buddha Beads.

These Buddha Beads truly ranked as the pinnacle artifact of the Buddha Sect, shaped by the Past Buddha's hand.

Armed with these Buddha Beads, he could dispel every barrier within Thunder Sound Mountain and confidently pinpoint the Buddha’s Kasaya with ease.

Shortly after, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha, flanked by elite masters, made their way to Thunder Sound Mountain.

Addressing the army's commanders, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha declared, "Dismiss Yang Xiaotian's threats—maintain the lockdown on Thunder Sound Mountain. Seize any who try to force entry, lock them away in the Buddha Prison; should any emerge from Thunder Sound Mountain, grab them and toss them into the Buddha Prison too!"

Feeling the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's imposing aura, the commanders bowed their heads in obedient assent.

With that, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha finally guided his followers into Thunder Sound Mountain.

Once inside Thunder Sound Mountain, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha channeled Buddha Force into the Past Buddha Beads, igniting them in a radiant glow. Wherever the beads' luminescence spread, the mountain's barriers dissolved harmlessly, offering no hindrance to the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha or his entourage.

Striding through as though reclaiming his domain, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha wandered Thunder Sound Mountain freely.

Yet the inner expanse of Thunder Sound Mountain stretched endlessly, comparable to a Super Continent. Despite his unchallenged exploration, scouring every nook of Thunder Sound Mountain's vast domain would demand no less than a decade.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian invoked the Innate Buddha Ancestor Power, steering Mad Demon and the others further into the depths of Thunder Sound Mountain.

Thanks to the Innate Buddha Ancestor Power, Yang Xiaotian discerned the nearby Buddha Sect barriers with crystal clarity and slipped past them effortlessly.

At the same time, Yang Xiaotian drew upon the essence of the Contemporary Buddha Staff and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts to detect the Buddha’s Kasaya's location.

Originally, the Contemporary Buddha Staff, Three Thousand Buddha Precepts, and Buddha’s Kasaya formed a trio of Buddha Sect ultimate treasures, allowing him to sense the Buddha’s Kasaya if it lay within ten thousand miles via the Contemporary Buddha Staff and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts.

The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha had no inkling that Yang Xiaotian held the Contemporary Buddha Staff and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts; otherwise, his smug certainty about seizing the Buddha’s Kasaya would have crumbled.

Before they knew it, darkness had descended.

With the onset of night, Thunder Sound Mountain's barriers intensified, prompting many intruders to halt their hunts under cover of dark. But the Innate Buddha Ancestor Power freed Yang Xiaotian from fretting over the ramped-up defenses.

Under the night sky, the Innate Buddha Ancestor Power shone with dazzling brilliance.

Spotting this mesmerizing Buddha Ancestor Power from afar, certain experts mistook it for a Buddha Sect ultimate treasure and rushed over in delight, only to reel back in awe upon recognizing Yang Xiaotian and Mad Demon in the midst.

A handful of days went by.

As Yang Xiaotian arrived at a particular rugged zone, the glow from the Contemporary Buddha Staff and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts flared wildly, trembling with fierce intensity.
