Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2172: 2172: Rescuing the Feiyang Emperor

The scene where the Feiyang Emperor was struck was quite close to Yang Xiaotian’s current position. By continuously utilizing his Space-Time Instantaneous Movement, Yang Xiaotian managed to reach the site of the clash in merely thirty minutes.

Before him lay a desolate wasteland; the earth was shattered, and the air was dense with lingering traces of Destructive Power.

Yang Xiaotian focused intently, sensing the dozens of ephemeral signatures of Destructive Power that still tainted the atmosphere.

Hidden amidst these remnants, he successfully identified the unique signature of the Feiyang Emperor.

It appeared those two had told him the truth after all.

Following the faint trail left by the Feiyang Emperor’s aura, Yang Xiaotian soared toward the east.

Even though the traces of the Feiyang Emperor’s power were growing increasingly thin, as long as they persisted, he would be able to track down both the Emperor and his captors from the Hou Clan.

Yang Xiaotian maintained his flight eastward.

At the start, small pulses of the Feiyang Emperor’s energy could be detected in the air, but after a short time, the energy signatures in the void vanished entirely.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaotian had planned for this; throughout the journey, he had carefully collected samples of the Emperor's power. He brought them out now, and with a swift flick of his hand, he channeled a Secret Technique that condensed the energy into a small, dragon-shaped spirit, no larger than a finger, which immediately darted forward.

Guided by this Spirit Dragon, Yang Xiaotian crossed countless mountains and rugged ridges.

While Yang Xiaotian navigated the terrain, deep within the Eternal Realm Battlefield, the Feiyang Emperor stood with a deathly pale complexion, his eyes burning with rage as he glared at the Hou Clan experts who had him surrounded.

“For a clan that prides itself on being an ancient noble family of the Holy Realm, you choose to gang up on a single individual, even resorting to surprise attacks from behind. How utterly pathetic and shameless!” The Feiyang Emperor spat, locking his gaze on a Hou Clan ancestor.

Hou Yong, one of the Hou Clan ancestors, let out a mocking laugh: “Despicable? Shameless? And what if we are? Does that matter to anyone? It is the outcome that dictates value; the method you use to reach it is inconsequential.”

“Once we finish you off, that Nine Hundred Million Years Divine Medicine will finally be ours!”

“That is the ultimate result!”

“Attack him!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than he lunged forward, throwing a barrage of punches.

The remaining experts of the Hou Clan joined in, unleashing a series of coordinated strikes.

The Feiyang Emperor was arguably the most formidable figure across the Seven Continents and The Three Pure Continents, and his combat prowess was by no means negligible. Had it been a one-on-one duel, he would have had nothing to fear from any of the Hou Clan elders, but against a siege of over a dozen opponents, he found himself in a desperate situation.

His chest had already been run through by a blade earlier, leaving a grievous wound, and under this relentless mob assault, his condition deteriorated rapidly while his life force bled away.

A sense of profound despair began to wash over the Feiyang Emperor.

“Boy, this is your destiny! Today, you are predestined to perish here!”

“Rest assured, considering we are gaining that Nine Hundred Million Years Divine Medicine, we might even leave you with a corpse intact!” Hou Yong sneered triumphantly. As he spoke, he drove a fist directly through the Feiyang Emperor’s chest, sending the man flying backward.

The Feiyang Emperor crashed to the ground, his blood turning the soil crimson. He fought to regain his footing, but he swayed unsteadily, unable to even stand upright.

Observing the dying Emperor, Hou Yong raised his sword and executed a swift, piercing strike, a blinding flash of light aimed directly at the Feiyang Emperor’s neck.

“Die!”

Just as the Hou Clan members expected the Feiyang Emperor’s head to be severed, a silhouette materialized from nothingness, shielding the Emperor.

When the lethal sword light struck the newcomer, it seemed to impact an invisible, impenetrable wall of Chaos Qi.

A sharp hiss echoed through the air.

The sword light dissipated completely, failing to make even a scratch on the figure.

A wave of terror swept through the onlookers.

Even the Feiyang Emperor, who had braced for death, hovered in a state of shock.

He looked at the shadow standing before him.

His rugged, tiger-like frame shuddered violently.

Who is this figure?!

“Xiaotian?!” The Feiyang Emperor whispered, his excitement tempered by a cautious disbelief.

After all, Yang Xiaotian had reached a level of cultivation that someone like him could barely fathom.

Yang Xiaotian turned, offering a gentle smile as he caught the Feiyang Emperor’s incredulous expression: “Senior, it has been a long time.”

Senior, it has been a long time!

That simple, familiar greeting brought tears of relief to the Feiyang Emperor’s eyes; he felt that for this single acknowledgment from Yang Xiaotian, even death would have been an acceptable price.

Noticing the jagged sword wound and the hole from the fist in the Emperor’s chest, Yang Xiaotian frowned. With a wave, he released a surge of Ultimate Life Power that flowed like a vast ocean into the Feiyang Emperor’s body.

The Emperor, who a moment ago had been teetering on the edge of the abyss, saw his wounds mend at a pace visible to the naked eye. His life force welled up from within, growing with the intensity of a gushing spring.

The members of the Hou Clan, who had initially been furious at the intrusion, went silent when they heard the Feiyang Emperor’s joyful cry. They froze in their tracks.

That name sounded strangely familiar to them.

As Yang Xiaotian continued to channel the Ultimate Life Holy Body to heal the Emperor, a look of realization dawned on the Hou clan members, transforming their anger into pale terror.

“That is the Ultimate Life Holy Body?!” Hou Yong muttered, unable to process the sight. He looked at his companions, hoping for denial, but saw only greater fear reflected in their eyes.

Hou Yong felt his own limbs grow numb. Everyone in the heavens and realms knew that while a few had attempted to walk the path of the Ultimate Life Holy Body, only one person truly possessed it!

Xiaotian?!

Recalling the name the Feiyang Emperor had uttered, Hou Yong was gripped by a bone-chilling dread.

Yang Xiaotian, having stabilized the Emperor’s condition, finally rotated his gaze toward the Hou Clan members.

Without a word, every member of the Hou Clan knelt, trembling in terror, including Hou Yong.

“You are?!” Hou Yong managed to choke out, terrified to ask if he stood before the Three Realms Lord, yet unable to remain silent.

“Your clan head was already crippled by my hand,” Yang Xiaotian remarked with icy indifference.

Having previously faced Yang Xiaotian when he rescued Mo Tiankuang and destroyed their patriarch, the men of the Hou Clan were already reeling from the memory.

Hearing that their leader had fallen to this same man, Hou Yong and the others collapsed entirely, unable to hold their posture.

Now, there was no doubt who the youth before them really was.

“Three Realms Lord, have mercy! Our entire clan had no intention of opposing you; we were merely acting under the direct decree of the Master of the Holy Realm! Please, I beg for your grace!” Hou Yong trembled, pleading for his life.

When the Master of the Holy Realm had ordered the blockade of the Blue Elephant Continent to hunt down Yang Xiaotian, the Hou Clan, as its leading power, had been the most obedient executor.

“Do not worry, I will not take your lives,” Yang Xiaotian replied calmly.

A wave of relief washed over the Hou Clan members at those words.

However, Yang Xiaotian suddenly slashed his sword, and waves of sharp Sword Qi instantly pierced through the bodies of every Hou Clan expert present.

As they coughed up fresh blood, their faces drained of all color.

Though the sword had not claimed their lives, it had done exactly what it did to their clan head: their Holy Veins and Dantian were completely shattered.

On the Eternal Realm Battlefield, where ferocious beasts roamed freely, to be left without one’s Holy Veins or Dantian was a fate far more agonizing than death itself.

After rendering them powerless, Yang Xiaotian helped the Feiyang Emperor up, and together they tore through the firmament, departing the battlefield.

The incident location of Feiyang Emperor wasn’t far from where Yang Xiaotian was, and with Yang Xiaotian’s continuous uninterrupted Space-Time Instantaneous Movement, it only took half an hour for him to arrive at the location where Feiyang Emperor’s incident occurred.

All he saw was a scene of desolation, the ground cracked, filled everywhere with Destructive Power.

Yang Xiaotian carefully sensed the dozens remnants of Destructive Power still lingering in the air.

Among these dozens of Destructive Power, Yang Xiaotian felt Feiyang Emperor’s force.

It seems those two did not lie to him.

Yang Xiaotian followed the remnants of Feiyang Emperor’s force, flying eastward.

Although the remnants of Feiyang Emperor’s force were already very faint, as long as they were there, he could find Feiyang Emperor and the Hou Clan people.

Yang Xiaotian flew eastward all the way.

At first, remnants of Feiyang Emperor’s force were still sporadically in mid-air, but after flying for a while, the space no longer had remnants of Feiyang Emperor’s force.

However, Yang Xiaotian had prepared early on, along the way, he had collected a lot of Feiyang Emperor’s force, he took them out, then waved his single hand, under his Secret Technique’s condensation, Feiyang Emperor’s force condensed into a Spirit Dragon in the shape of a little finger, then flew forward.

Yang Xiaotian followed behind the Spirit Dragon, crossing mountains and ridges.

Just as Yang Xiaotian followed the Spirit Dragon crossing mountains and ridges flying forward, somewhere on the Eternal Realm Battlefield, Feiyang Emperor’s face was ashen and bloodless, angrily looking at the Hou Clan experts surrounding him.

“For a clan still considered an ancient noble family of the Holy Realm, to actually gang up on one person, and even sneak attack from behind, despicable, shameless!” Feiyang Emperor glared angrily at one of the Hou Clan ancestors.

Hou Clan ancestor Hou Yong chuckled: “Despicable, shameless? So what if we’re despicable and shameless? Who would care about that? The important thing is the result, the process is unimportant.”

“Once we deal with you, that Nine Hundred Million Years Divine Medicine will be ours!”

“This is the result!”

“Attack!”

After he spoke, he threw his fists out.

The other experts of the Hou Clan also struck out one after another.

Feiyang Emperor was the strongest of the Seven Continents on the Feiyang Continent and The Three Pure Continents, his strength naturally wasn’t weak. If it was a solo fight, he wouldn’t fear any one person of the Hou Clan, but now, under the siege of more than a dozen people from the Hou Clan, he was in grave danger.

Previously, his chest had been pierced through by the opponent’s sword, the injury was extremely severe, now under the siege of the crowd, the injury was getting worse, life force was constantly diminishing.

Feiyang Emperor couldn’t help but feel despair.

“Kid, this is fate! Today you are destined to fall here!”

“Rest assured, in consideration of that Nine Hundred Million Years Divine Medicine, we’ll leave you with a whole corpse!” Hou Yong smiled triumphantly, after speaking, once more he punched through Feiyang Emperor’s chest, shooting Feiyang Emperor backward.

Feiyang Emperor fell to the ground, blood dyed the surrounding red, he struggled to stand up, swaying, he couldn’t even stand steadily.

Looking at the dying Feiyang Emperor, Hou Yong abruptly swung a sword, an eye-piercing sword light slashed towards Feiyang Emperor’s neck.

“Die!”

Just when the Hou Clan people thought Feiyang Emperor’s head was about to be lopped off, suddenly, a shadow appeared out of thin air, blocking in front of Feiyang Emperor.

When this eye-piercing sword light reached the front of this shadow, the sword light seemed to hit an invisible powerful Chaos Qi wall.

A hiss sounded.

The sword light scattered, yet it couldn’t truly strike this shadow.

Everyone was shocked.

Even Feiyang Emperor, who thought he was dead, was unexpectedly surprised.

He looked at the shadow standing in front of him.

His tiger-like body shook tremendously!

This shadow is…?!

“Xiaotian?!” Feiyang Emperor was extremely excited, but cautiously asked, unsure.

After all, the current height of Yang Xiaotian was beyond someone like him who was just a small fry could touch.

Yang Xiaotian turned his head, looking at the excited and cautious Feiyang Emperor, nodded with a smile: “Senior, it’s been years.”

Senior, it’s been years!

Just this one simple sentence from Yang Xiaotian made Feiyang Emperor weep with joy, he suddenly felt that for Yang Xiaotian’s one sentence, even if he were to die, it would be worth it.

Looking at the sword wound and fist hole in Feiyang Emperor’s chest, Yang Xiaotian frowned, waved his hand, the Ultimate Life Power surged endlessly like an ocean into Feiyang Emperor’s body.

Just recently near death, couldn’t even stand steadily Feiyang Emperor, his wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, life force constantly emerged within him, like a spring water growing bigger and bigger.

The Hou Clan people seeing someone interfering in their clan’s matters, their faces sank, just brimming with anger, suddenly hearing Feiyang Emperor excitedly addressing the person in front of him as Xiaotian, couldn’t help but pause.

This name seems somewhat familiar?

When Yang Xiaotian performed the Ultimate Life Holy Body healing Feiyang Emperor, the Hou Clan people’s faces changed dramatically.

“That’s the Ultimate Life Holy Body?!” Hou Yong couldn’t believe it, thinking he must be mistaken, looked questioningly at the surrounding Hou Clan people.

But he saw, the fear in the eyes of the surrounding Hou Clan people was even greater than his.

Hou Yong only felt his limbs were trembling, although it was said among the heavens and realms, the number of people who could cultivate the Ultimate Life Holy Body wasn’t just one, but everyone knew who that one who cultivated the Ultimate Life Holy Body was!

Xiaotian?!

Recalling Feiyang Emperor’s excited address to the young man in front, Hou Yong only felt cold in his limbs.

Yang Xiaotian, seeing Feiyang Emperor’s injuries stabilized, then turned his head, his gaze fell on the Hou Clan people.

All the Hou Clan people were frightened kneeling down, including Hou Yong.

“You are?!” Hou Yong, kneeling, wanted to ask if Yang Xiaotian was the Three Realms Lord Your Majesty, but didn’t dare.

“Your clan head was abolished by me!” Yang Xiaotian said indifferently.

Previously, Yang Xiaotian rescued Mo Tiankuang, destroyed the Hou Clan family head, the Hou Clan was both shocked and angry.

Upon hearing their clan head was abolished by Yang Xiaotian, Hou Yong and the Hou Clan people were all limp on the ground.

Now, where wouldn’t they know who the young man before them was.

“Three Realms Lord Your Majesty, our Hou Clan did not intend to confront you, it was all by the order of the Master of Holy Realm Your Majesty, Three Realms Lord Your Majesty have mercy!” Hou Yong tremblingly pleaded for mercy.

Previously, the Master of Holy Realm ordered to blockade Blue Elephant Continent, fully arrest Yang Xiaotian, the Hou Clan as the leading family on Blue Elephant Continent, naturally put in the most effort.

“Rest assured, I won’t kill you.” Yang Xiaotian suddenly said.

Upon hearing these words, Hou Yong and the Hou Clan people were overjoyed.

However, Yang Xiaotian suddenly swung his sword, Sword Qi instantly penetrated the bodies of the Hou Clan people.

Hou Yong and others coughed up blood, their faces deadly pale.

Yang Xiaotian’s previous sword, although it didn’t kill them, like dealing with their family head, had already abolished their Holy Veins and Dantian!

In this Eternal Realm Battlefield, Fierce Beasts were everywhere, Holy Vein and Dantian being abolished, that was worse than death!

After destroying the Hou Clan people, Yang Xiaotian came to Feiyang Emperor’s side, took Feiyang Emperor, and left tearing through the sky.
