Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2159: Rescuing the Myriad Demon Saint and the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
An overwhelming torrent of Buddha Force saturated the Buddha Prison, gleaming with radiant purity.
Not a hint of shadow or humidity lingered anywhere.
Yet, as the Mad Demon, Rain Demon, and their companions stepped inside, a profound unease gripped them.
The Demonic Qi cloaking their forms even started to ignite fiercely.
Witnessing this, Yang Xiaotian wrapped himself in Innate Buddha Power, erecting a protective Buddha Barrier that warded off the encroaching Buddha Force from the Buddha Prison.
At that point, the Mad Demon, Rain Demon, and the rest finally experienced a measure of ease.
In total, the Buddha Prison spanned ten levels.
The Demon Clan Holy Ancestor languished in the deepest one, the tenth level.
The group soared upward through the passages.
Yang Xiaotian commanded the Buddha Hell Leader to hand over the directory of all captives in the Buddha Prison, and while heading toward the tenth level, he started scanning through it.
His initial focus fell on the names confined to the tenth level.
To discover who else, apart from the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor, might be held there.
Every soul locked in the tenth level surely ranked as a supreme overlord on the Eternal Realm List!
"Since the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor got locked away, have any Black Dog and White Dog shown up over the years to spring him free?" Yang Xiaotian inquired as he leafed through the directory.
The Buddha Hell Leader paused in surprise at the mention of Black Dog and White Dog?
After a brief reflection, he exclaimed abruptly, "Now that Your Majesty brings it up, yes, a Black Dog and White Dog did attempt to storm the Buddha Prison. They're apparently held on the ninth level right now!"
The ninth level!
Delight surged through Yang Xiaotian unexpectedly.
He had posed the question offhand, never imagining that Black Master and White Master had truly fallen into captivity here.
While certainty eluded him, a solid ninety percent likelihood suggested these Black Dog and White Dog were none other than Black Master and White Master.
Without delay, Yang Xiaotian accelerated his pace.
Soon enough, they descended upon the ninth level.
Several hundred individuals occupied the ninth level.
A modest number overall.
Solitary Array Spaces confined each prisoner separately.
Yang Xiaotian directed them first to Black Master's Array Space.
Once there, he channeled the might of the Contemporary Buddha Staff, Buddha’s Kasaya, and the Three Thousand Buddha Precepts to dismantle the seals binding Black Master's Array Space.
Stepping into the Array Space, Yang Xiaotian beheld a dejected Black Dog!
The Black Dog slumped in place, listless and disengaged.
Despite his efforts to contain his feelings, Yang Xiaotian's heart raced with thrill upon spotting the Black Dog.
Just as he had guessed, this Black Dog was truly Black Master!
The very moment Yang Xiaotian crossed into the Array Space, Black Master's gaze snapped toward him.
Spotting Yang Xiaotian, he went rigid in astonishment, then scrubbed at his eyes in disbelief.
He rubbed hard, yet Yang Xiaotian drew nearer still.
Was it possible?! He leaped up in elation.
"Xiaotian!" Black Master cried out in exhilaration.
Yang Xiaotian drew close to Black Master and grinned, "Black Master!"
"How in the world did you find out I was trapped here?" Black Master queried, his voice brimming with excitement.
Prior to Yang Xiaotian ascending as Son of the World, Black Master and White Master had already been ensnared, leaving them unaware of his rise to Three Realms Lord.
In response to Black Master's query, Yang Xiaotian chuckled, "I've taken the throne as the new Buddha of the Buddha Sect!"
"The new Buddha of the Buddha Sect!" Black Master recoiled in shock, staring at Yang Xiaotian with wide-eyed wonder, "You've actually become the new Buddha of the Buddha Sect?!"
Yang Xiaotian affirmed with a nod and a smile, "That's right, I am now the new Buddha of the Buddha Sect." Then he burst into laughter, adding, "Alright, let's break out of this place!" With those words, he guided Black Master from the Array Space.
Only after emerging from the Array Space and noticing the Buddha Hell Leader standing in deferential wait outside did Black Master accept that this was no mere hallucination.
But hold on—Yang Xiaotian served as the new Buddha of the Buddha Sect, so why did a horde of Giant Demons linger outside, poised in readiness?
And why were so many powerhouses from the Ancestor Dragon Realm and Bright Heavenly Realm present as well?
"Alright, let's go pull White Master out next," Yang Xiaotian urged Black Master, before darting off toward White Master's Array Space.
En route, Yang Xiaotian remarked to Black Master, "Black Master, you've slimmed down quite a bit these days."
At Yang Xiaotian's playful jab, Black Master grinned and replied, "Stuck in that cell, who could eat or rest properly? How could I not waste away?" He licked his lips with a chuckle, "It's been ages since I caught a whiff of fine liquor."
Yang Xiaotian let out a booming laugh, "Tonight, we'll feast on roast meat and guzzle wine until we drop!"
Black Master's eyes lit up; countless years had passed since savoring Yang Xiaotian's signature roast, not since their arrival in the Holy Realm.
The craving hit him hard!
Shortly thereafter, the party reached White Master's Array Space, where Yang Xiaotian and Black Master ventured inside together. Upon their entrance, White Master blinked in utter disbelief, mirroring Black Master's earlier reaction as he rubbed his eyes.
With Black Master and White Master now liberated, Yang Xiaotian led the assembly toward the tenth level.
Yet, the instant they touched down on the tenth level, Yang Xiaotian detected a strikingly familiar presence.
This presence didn't belong to the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor, for he had never crossed paths with the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor.
Abruptly, Yang Xiaotian's eyes fixed on a particular Array Space in the distance.
From within that Array Space emanated the unmistakable essence of Innate Demon God Power!
Could it really be?
Yang Xiaotian hurried straight to that Array Space without hesitation.
Reaching its threshold, Yang Xiaotian, joined by Destroying Heaven Demon, Blood Demon Old Monster, Red Dragon Mad Demon, and their allies, stepped inside as one.
Inside, Yang Xiaotian confronted a colossal silhouette.
At the sight of this figure, Destroying Heaven Demon, Blood Demon Old Monster, Red Dragon Mad Demon, Fire Demon Elder, and the rest erupted in uncontainable joy and fervor.
They had wondered earlier why Yang Xiaotian had summoned them here, but clarity dawned at last.
"Your Majesty!" They dropped to their knees in thrilled reverence before the imposing form.
None other than the Myriad Demon Saint stood imprisoned there—the very Chaos Demon Master!
He also happened to be the former mentor to Destroying Heaven Demon, Blood Demon Old Monster, and their comrades.
The Myriad Demon Saint regarded Destroying Heaven Demon and the others with a mix of astonishment and delight, "Blood Demon, all of you! How on earth did you make it here!"
"His Majesty led us here!" Blood Demon Old Monster and the group chorused, their gazes turning to Yang Xiaotian.
Your Majesty? A ripple of curiosity stirred in the Myriad Demon Saint's chest, drawing his eyes to Yang Xiaotian. Yang Xiaotian advanced toward the Myriad Demon Saint and paid homage with a deep bow, "Your disciple Yang Xiaotian pays respects to Master!"
Having endured years of confinement, the Myriad Demon Saint eyed Yang Xiaotian with profound satisfaction, "Excellent, my fine disciple! It appears you've claimed my Chaos Demon Hall and mastered the Innate Demon God Power!"
At that juncture, Blood Demon Old Monster chuckled, "Your Majesty, you might not realize, but His Majesty also reigns as the Primordial Demon World Master!"
Shock rippled through the Myriad Demon Saint, "Primordial Demon World Master!" He grasped full well the weight of such a mantle.
"That's not all—His Majesty commands the Ancestor Dragon Realm, the Bright Heavenly Realm, and serves as the fresh Buddha of the Buddha Sect!" Destroying Heaven Demon and the others proclaimed with gleeful laughter.
The Myriad Demon Saint reeled, his mind spinning in a haze.
Even moments after departing the Array Space, the Myriad Demon Saint floated in a surreal dreamlike state.
Following the Myriad Demon Saint's release, Yang Xiaotian proceeded to unshackle the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor as well.
After verifying no other acquaintances or vital figures remained to extract from the Buddha Prison, Yang Xiaotian departed the premises alongside the entire company.
What caught Yang Xiaotian off guard was the revelation that the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha had confined the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor due to his knowledge of the Dark Dragon Clan Long Ye Dragon Body's location.
