Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2021: Ancestor’s Heart

After dispatching Nie Qin and his companions, Yang Xiaotian claimed the golden fruit and resumed his hunt for the Red Dragon Mad Demon, remaining focused on his search for the Dao Holy Flame and the Fourteenth Layer Dao Holy Water.

As Yang Xiaotian’s search for the Red Dragon Mad Demon continued, the news that Nie Qin and the others had perished reached the Ancestor Clan Chief and the rest of the leadership outside.

Nie Heng’s expression was dark as he stared at the shattered pieces of his disciple’s Soul Jade Medallion.

His disciple had been inside the Ancestor Ruins for a mere half a day before losing his life.

What could have possibly happened?

Frowning, the Ancestor Clan Chief and the surrounding elders looked at the broken jade in Nie Heng’s palm. They found it highly suspicious and abnormal that someone would die so quickly after entering.

Typically, disciples within the Ancestor Ruins were safe unless they were foolish enough to wander into the powerful Great Arrays scattered throughout the grounds.

However, every disciple was well aware of the danger these Great Arrays posed, so why would they have entered one?

“Is it possible they ran into evil spirits?” one elder pondered aloud.

The Ancestor Ruins were not originally home to such entities, but as the years passed, the accumulation of turbid air had gradually birthed malevolent spirits.

Though these evil spirits were rare, they possessed immense power. Any Ancestor Clan disciple who crossed paths with one would find it nearly impossible to survive.

“We must observe and wait,” the Ancestor Clan Chief decided after some thought.

If more disciples continued to die, he would be forced to shut down the Ancestor Ruins temporarily.

The passage into the ruins was restricted to those below the Holy Emperor Realm, meaning the seniors were unable to enter and conduct an investigation themselves.

Having secured the golden fruit, Yang Xiaotian eventually arrived at a gloomy canyon.

The floor of this dark canyon was carpeted with blood-colored ganoderma, each one marred by black spots.

These were the infamous and highly toxic Blood Dark Ganoderma.

Despite the terrifying toxins of the Blood Dark Ganoderma, such poisonous environments often concealed great treasures.

Yang Xiaotian proceeded forward with caution.

Due to the suppression of the Ancestor Rules within the ruins, Master Ding was unable to intervene; Yang Xiaotian had to rely entirely on his own strength.

The dark canyon was far more expansive than he had anticipated. As he moved deeper, the shadows grew heavier and the toxicity intensified, until the poison rolled around him like a dark ocean.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaotian possessed the Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body. A standard Holy King expert would have found it impossible to endure such a lethal sea of poison.

Eventually, Yang Xiaotian reached the furthest depths of the canyon.

By now, he had manifested the Sixteen Wings of Bright.

The purifying radiance emitted by the Sixteen Wings of Bright brought light to the surrounding gloom.

Even so, the holy light could only pierce the darkness for a few hundred meters, unable to illuminate the canyon in its entirety.

While Yang Xiaotian moved carefully, the Chaos Demon Heart and the Ghost Dragon Ancestor Dragon Heart within him suddenly began to react.

Neither heart had ever exhibited such a response before.

Caught off guard by this strange resonance from his Chaos Demon Heart and Ghost Dragon Ancestor Dragon Heart, Yang Xiaotian was deeply surprised.

He peered into the distance.

What lay ahead that could cause such a violent reaction from both the Chaos Demon Heart and the Ghost Dragon Ancestor Dragon Heart?

After a brief pause, he followed the pull of the two hearts and flew deeper into the canyon.

The closer he got, the more intense the pulsing of the Chaos Demon Heart and Ghost Dragon Ancestor Dragon Heart became, as if they were trying to break out of his chest.

Yang Xiaotian was filled with amazement.

Finally, he reached a mountainside nestled within the canyon depths.

The cliff face was pitch black and covered in thick, poisonous vines. The source of the resonance within his Chaos Demon Heart and Ghost Dragon Ancestor Dragon Heart was hidden behind this very wall.

Unsheathing the Chaos Demon Sword, Yang Xiaotian hacked away the toxic vines. He then utilized the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique to phase through the rock and enter the mountain's interior.

Inside was a hidden chamber housing a Pentagon Great Array. Suspended at the very center of this array was a heart that radiated a brilliant golden light!

Yang Xiaotian stared at the heart, stunned.

He never expected to find such an object hidden within this poisonous and dark canyon.

The heart pulsed with an incredibly vast and untainted energy.

“That is the Ancestor’s Heart!” Master Ding exclaimed with excitement.

While the Ancestor’s laws prevented Master Ding from acting, his voice was unaffected by the suppression.

“The Ancestor’s Heart?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

Master Ding explained with fervor, “This Ancestor’s Heart is on par with the Source of Chaos. Merging with it will not only skyrocket your cultivation speed but also bolster your Divine Soul and continuously refine your physical form, increasing the potency of your Sacred Body.”

“Furthermore, possessing the Ancestor’s Heart means the Great Array Prohibitions of the Ancestor Ruins will no longer target you—even the Ancestor Soul will leave you be!”

Yang Xiaotian was elated upon hearing this.

He had been concerned about facing the Ancestor Soul once he located the Red Dragon Mad Demon’s prison.

If the Ancestor Soul would not attack him, he could rescue the Red Dragon Mad Demon without any obstacles once he found him.

“Merging with the Ancestor’s Heart is an immense challenge,” Master Ding noted, “but with your First of Eternity Heart, the process should be successful.”

Knowing that his First of Eternity Heart would allow him to assimilate the Ancestor’s Heart, Yang Xiaotian realized just how vital that heart truly was.

First, however, he had to dismantle the Pentagon Great Array.

The Pentagon Great Array was an Innate Great Array based on the five elements, making it exceptionally complex. It took Yang Xiaotian three full days to decode it. Once he reached the Ancestor’s Heart, he used the power of his First of Eternity Heart to wrap around it.

Under the influence of the First of Eternity Heart, the once-unstable Ancestor’s Heart calmed down. As Yang Xiaotian’s power seeped into it, the heart began to glow with even greater brilliance.

To completely Refine and Assimilate the Ancestor’s Heart, Yang Xiaotian needed an entire day of uninterrupted focus; any interference would ruin the process.

Time ticked by slowly. After a full day, Yang Xiaotian finally finished the process of Refining and Assimilating the Ancestor’s Heart, allowing it to enter his body.

If the original Ancestor of Ancestor, who had left this heart for his descendants, knew it had been claimed by Yang Xiaotian, he would likely be fuming with rage.

Once the merger was complete, Yang Xiaotian felt the energy of the Ancestor’s Heart surging like a tide through his veins, tempering both his flesh and his Divine Soul.

“Can this Ancestor’s Heart help me understand the Chaos King Law?” Yang Xiaotian inquired of Master Ding.

“Technically, yes, but while the Ancestor’s Heart strengthens the Divine Soul, the rate of growth is slow,” Master Ding replied. “If you rely only on the Ancestor’s Heart, it would take at least a millennium for you to grasp the Chaos King Law.”

A thousand years? To quickly master the Chaos King Law and form the Chaotic King Totem, Yang Xiaotian knew he still had to locate the Source of Chaos.
