Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2023: Ancestor Clan Senses Something Amiss
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
After departing from the Ancestor Ruins, Yang Xiaotian immediately began the fusion process with the massive Dao Holy Flame he had acquired.
By merging these Dao Holy Flames, his Chaos Thunderstorm God Fire achieved a successful evolution into Chaos Holy Fire.
With this advancement, he now held possession of the Six Great Chaotic Holy Fire.
Yang Xiaotian chose not to continue the refinement of the four-hundred-million-year-old Golden Fruit at this time. He knew it was only a matter of time before the Ancestor Clan investigated how he and the Red Dragon Mad Demon had usurped the identities of their disciples. His priority was to locate the Reversal Roulette, a supreme treasure, and make a swift exit from the Ancestor Clan’s territory.
“What is the current state of the Doomsday Tide?” Yang Xiaotian questioned the Destroying Heaven Demon.
“It is expected to recede within two or three days,” the Destroying Heaven Demon answered promptly, having kept a close watch on the tide’s fluctuations.
“Very well, time is of the essence. Everyone, get ready; we are departing for the Deep Sea immediately!” Yang Xiaotian commanded upon receiving the update.
The Destroying Heaven Demon and the rest of the group obeyed with respect.
The gravity of their situation was clear to everyone.
Shortly after, Yang Xiaotian’s party left Sea City behind and charted a course for the Deep Sea.
Even though the Doomsday Tide was not due to fully recede for a few days, it would be entering its weakening phase by the time they arrived. Given their collective power, they were confident in their ability to force an entry.
As Yang Xiaotian moved toward his objective, the Ancestor Clan Chief was also tracking the Doomsday Tide. Calculating that it would subside in a few days, he personally led Nie Heng and a contingent of Elders toward the Deep Sea.
To prepare for a potential confrontation with the giant turtle, the Ancestor Clan Chief had mobilized the entire assembly of the Ancestor Clan’s Elders for this mission.
Before long, Yang Xiaotian and his companions reached the Deep Sea, halting before the wall of the Doomsday Tide.
The tide continued to roar with the same ferocity it had displayed two months prior, its boundless waters reaching toward the heavens, yet Yang Xiaotian’s sharp senses detected that its intensity was beginning to wane.
“Holy Master, I have just been informed that the Ancestor Clan Chief is approaching the Deep Sea with a group of Elders,” the Destroying Heaven Demon reported, his eyes narrowing as he read a message talisman.
The news caught Yang Xiaotian and his followers by surprise.
Was the Ancestor Clan Chief also targeting the Deep Sea?
They wondered if this was merely a coincidence or if their presence had already been compromised.
“How much time do we have before they arrive?” Yang Xiaotian inquired.
“Based on their current speed, they should reach the Deep Sea in an hour at most,” the Destroying Heaven Demon estimated after a moment of thought.
One hour!
Regardless of the Clan Chief’s intentions, they needed to move fast.
“We are going in!” Yang Xiaotian commanded. Facing the raging Doomsday Tide, he engaged the Dragon Night Spaceship, steering it directly into the massive, crashing waves.
A thunderous boom echoed.
The impact of the Doomsday Tide caused the spaceship to vibrate violently.
Any standard vessel would have been pulverized by such a collision.
However, the Dragon Night held firm, slicing through wave after wave as it transported Yang Xiaotian and his team forward.
Yang Xiaotian had triggered every Grand Array on the Dragon Night Spaceship, while the others reinforced the vessel by channeling their full Holy Power into a formidable protective shield.
Despite these defenses, the Doomsday Tide caused the ship to shudder incessantly, making the journey feel like traveling over a severely broken road.
The group pushed forward through the turbulence.
Even with their maximum defenses active, the tide’s resistance slowed their progress significantly, taking them a full hour to reach Giant Turtle Island.
In the meantime, the experts of the Ancestor Clan continued their approach to the Deep Sea.
“Clan Leader, Nie Yuan has failed to return since his training session at the Ancestor Ruins.” During the journey, one of the Ancestor Clan Elders felt compelled to report this to the leader.
Nie Yuan was the very disciple whose identity the Red Dragon Mad Demon had stolen.
“I was about to mention the same—Nie Ze has also been missing since practicing at the Ancestor Ruins,” another Elder added, sharing his own worries.
Nie Ze was the disciple replaced by Yang Xiaotian.
Hearing this, the Ancestor Clan Chief sensed something was wrong, especially since both cases involved the Ancestor Ruins. He instructed the two: “Investigate the movements of these two disciples after they left the Ancestor Ruins.”
“Bring any information to me immediately.”
Noticing the Clan Chief’s grim expression, the Elders obeyed and issued orders to track down Nie Yuan and Nie Ze.
An hour later, as Yang Xiaotian successfully navigated the Doomsday Tide to reach Giant Turtle Island, the Ancestor Clan’s fleet arrived at the edge of the tide.
The waters had still not receded, so the Ancestor Clan Chief followed a similar path, using his spaceship to batter through the waves toward the island.
Yang Xiaotian’s spaceship finally stabilized as it pulled up to Giant Turtle Island.
While the Doomsday Tide churned violently all around them, Giant Turtle Island was protected by a mysterious energy that kept even the most massive waves at bay.
“The person who designed this formation must be a supreme formation master!” the Netherworld Fish remarked in shock, watching the tide fail to touch the island.
The Destroying Heaven Demon and Blood Demon Old Monster both looked grave.
In the Holy Realm, only a select few were capable of manifesting such a powerful formation.
Yang Xiaotian attempted to steer the ship onto the island, fearing the Grand Array might block them, but he was surprised to find the spaceship passing through without any resistance.
As they crossed the threshold, a heavy, overwhelming Holy Spirit Aura washed over them.
Yang Xiaotian was stunned.
The concentration of Holy Spirit Aura on Giant Turtle Island was incredibly high!
“There is surely Fourteenth Layer Dao Holy Water here!” Master Ding shouted with excitement.
The sheer density of the aura suggested there was a vast quantity of it.
While Yang Xiaotian was certain of the holy water's presence, he did not make it his first goal. His priority remained the Reversal Roulette.
Fourteenth Layer Dao Holy Water could be located elsewhere, but the Reversal Roulette was a one-of-a-kind treasure.
Yang Xiaotian activated the power of his Reversing Holy Body to pinpoint the treasure's location, flying ahead rapidly with the guidance of his Treasure Map.
Unbeknownst to the group, a pair of eyes had been watching them from the moment they stepped onto the island.
Even with his First of Eternity Heart, Yang Xiaotian failed to perceive this presence.
The hidden observer glanced at the Netherworld Fish and the Destroying Heaven Demon before focusing on Yang Xiaotian. The entity was surprised to see the Reversing Holy Body and sensed an old, familiar power within the youth, falling into deep thought.
Shortly after, Yang Xiaotian arrived at a barren clearing.
Consulting both the Treasure Map and his Reversing Holy Body, he confirmed that the Reversal Roulette was hidden deep beneath the ground.
Together with the Netherworld Fish, Yang Xiaotian shattered the earth and descended into the depths.
