Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2031: So the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons Has Arrived!

Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Yang Xiaotian and his powerful companions narrowly escape the Ancestor Clan Chief’s sealing array after a clash that shakes the very foundations of the sea. Despite the Chief's overwhelming Ancestor’s Body, the group breaks through the siege and flees the Ancestor Clan’s territory, setting their sights on the Wuding Sect to uncover the mysteries of the Falling Heaven artifacts and the Ghost Dragon Ancestor. Upon arriving at the bustling Wuding City, they visit the legendary Holy Weapon Hall to observe the masterpieces of the sect's founder. However, their arrival coincides with a display of favoritism that sparks outrage among the disciples waiting to undergo the hall's mandatory trials.

The Supreme Elder chuckled softly upon hearing the indignant questioning from the disciple undergoing the trial. "You ask why they are exempt from the test while you are not?"

He paused briefly before adding, "Since you are so curious, I shall enlighten you!"

Gesturing toward a youth clad in snowy robes standing beside him, he announced, "This is the White Dragon Young Master of the Qingyun Sect!"

The crowd was instantly struck with disbelief.

A massive stir broke out among the onlookers.

"What? He is actually the White Dragon Young Master!"

The gazes of numerous disciples shifted immediately as they stared at the young man in white.

The Qingyun Sect was not merely a Supreme Sect of the Ancestor Continent; it was also ranked as the second greatest Artifact Refining Sect, trailing only behind the Wuding Sect itself.

Furthermore, the White Dragon Young Master was celebrated as one of the most brilliant young artifact masters among the Ancestor Continent’s new generation.

It was this revelation that caused such a frantic reaction among the disciples.

"And this individual," the Supreme Elder continued, indicating a youth dressed in golden Buddhist robes, "is the Sheng Tian Buddha Son from the Foming Empire."

Once more, the assembly was stunned.

The Foming Empire stood as one of the most formidable Buddhist Sect powers on the continent.

Sheng Tian Buddha Son was not only a master of profound Buddhist arts among his peers but also a highly acclaimed young artifact master.

His fame was easily equal to that of the White Dragon Young Master.

The Supreme Elder of the Wuding Sect then proceeded to introduce the remaining two youths.

Their backgrounds and prestige were just as illustrious as those of the White Dragon Young Master and Sheng Tian Buddha Son.

All four were renowned masters of artifact refining within the younger generation of the Ancestor Continent.

"Now, do you still believe these four must submit to the trial?" the Supreme Elder asked with a mocking smile toward the crowd.

At this, the entire plaza fell into a heavy silence.

Despite any lingering resentment, no one dared to speak up again.

Even the disciple who had originally challenged the Elder remained quiet.

Satisfied with the silence, the Supreme Elder felt a surge of pride and prepared to lead the White Dragon Young Master and the others toward the Holy Weapon Hall.

However, just as they turned to depart, a steady voice rang out: "Rules are meant to be followed. If any random cats and dogs can simply bypass the Wuding Sect's regulations, then what is the point of establishing this trial? If that is the case, the Wuding Sect might as well stop holding these trials altogether!"

Yang Xiaotian’s statement left everyone paralyzed with shock.

The Supreme Elder and the White Dragon Young Master whipped around to look back.

The four youths were particularly incensed by the comment, feeling a mixture of disbelief and fury at being labeled 'random cats and dogs.'

The White Dragon Young Master fixed a freezing glare on Yang Xiaotian. "If I am a cat or a dog, then what does that make you? Is your status superior to ours? Is your talent in artifact refining greater than ours?"

Yang Xiaotian replied calmly, "While my mastery of artifact refining might not be considered peak, it is certainly a level above yours."

Both the White Dragon Young Master and Sheng Tian Buddha Son burst into laughter.

The other disciples looking on also shook their heads, chuckling at the absurdity.

It was common knowledge across the Ancestor Continent that the pinnacle of artifact refining among the youth belonged to the White Dragon Young Master and Sheng Tian Buddha Son.

Even the Young Sect Master of the Wuding Sect was merely their equal in skill.

Yet, this unknown youth was claiming he was superior to the White Dragon Young Master!

To them, it sounded like a ridiculous joke.

"Better than us?" The White Dragon Young Master walked toward Yang Xiaotian, stopping in the middle of the plaza. "Very well. It has been some time since I performed artifact refining in public. Today, I will play a game with you."

"Tell me, what are the terms of this game?"

"But be warned: if you lose, the cost will be your life!"

The White Dragon Young Master spoke with a cold edge, his heart burning with murderous intent because of the 'cats and dogs' insult.

To him, such a remark was a slur against the Qingyun Sect itself.

"And if you are the one who loses?" Yang Xiaotian asked, his expression remaining unruffled.

The White Dragon Young Master hesitated.

"What? If I lose, I die, but if you lose, there is no penalty?" Yang Xiaotian countered mockingly.

Sheng Tian Buddha Son spoke up sharply, "Your life cannot be compared to ours." He then added shamelessly, "If the White Dragon Young Master loses, he shall offer you an apology."

Yang Xiaotian let out a cold laugh. "Since you value your lives so highly and lack the courage to face the stakes, you should just scram."

"You!" Both the White Dragon Young Master and Sheng Tian Buddha Son were consumed with rage at being told to get lost.

The Supreme Elder of the Wuding Sect glared at Yang Xiaotian with icy eyes. "Brat, you are not welcome at the Wuding Sect. Get out now!"

As the Supreme Elder demanded Yang Xiaotian’s departure, the Golden Armored Qilin, Red Dragon Mad Demon, and Destroying Heaven Demon all surged forward, their powerful auras locking onto the Elder.

The Supreme Elder had initially ignored the followers behind Yang Xiaotian, but he was suddenly nearly choked by the overwhelming and terrifying pressure they released.

He felt as though he were plunging into a bottomless pit of horror; his complexion paled instantly as he looked at the Golden Armored Qilin and the others.

In that moment, it wasn't just the Supreme Elder who felt the crushing weight; every powerful expert within Wuding City sensed the terrifying aura.

The White Dragon Young Master, Sheng Tian Buddha Son, and all the disciples present were trembling.

The two young masters were nearly paralyzed with fear, their legs almost giving way under the pressure of the Qilin and the demons.

"Who... who are you?!" the White Dragon Young Master stammered, his voice shaking as he struggled to remain standing.

If not for their pride, they would have likely collapsed to their knees in terror already.

Just as the White Dragon Young Master spoke, a booming voice echoed from the heart of the Wuding Sect: "I was unaware that such esteemed Daoists were visiting. Please forgive Li Fang for not greeting you sooner!"

Following the voice, a figure soared into the sky, accompanied by a multitude of Wuding Sect ancestors rising from the depths of the sect grounds.

In an instant, the entire top leadership of the Wuding Sect was rushing toward the city plaza.

Li Fang was the Sect Master of the Wuding Sect.

His voice resonated throughout the entirety of Wuding City.

The Supreme Elder was filled with soul-deep dread, realizing that the aura of the Golden Armored Qilin and the others had summoned the Sect Master and the ancestors themselves.

Furthermore, various other Sect Masters and Clan Heads within the city were also racing toward the Holy Weapon Hall.

Li Fang moved with incredible speed, tearing through the air to arrive at the plaza.

Upon landing, his eyes fell upon the blue-robed figure in the center, flanked by the Golden Armored Qilin and the Destroying Heaven Demon.

Although Li Fang had missed the assembly of the Three Pure Ones, he had been present at the Demon Holy Scripture event.

The moment he recognized that blue silhouette, his heart raced and he took a sharp breath. He hurried toward Yang Xiaotian, and before even reaching him, he bowed deeply with clasped hands. "So it is the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons who has honored us with his presence. Li Fang pays his respects!"
