Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2040: Assassinating Yang Xiaotian?

The condensation of the Chaotic King Totem was finally a success!

Yang Xiaotian found it difficult to suppress the surge of joy within him.

However, a lingering intuition told him that he might be capable of forming yet another totem!

It would be just like his experience of forming two primary Golden Cores and two Grand Godhoods.

Was it possible to possess dual totems?

Master Ding spoke up, "You are correct. While anyone else would find it impossible to condense two major totems, you are different. However, despite the strength of your Divine Soul Power, it was barely sufficient to condense this first Chaotic King Totem."

Consequently, if Yang Xiaotian wished to manifest a second Chaotic King Totem, he would have to persist in his search for the Source of Chaos to bolster his Divine Soul Power.

As soon as Yang Xiaotian retracted the totem, the Myriad Demon Great Array—which had been churning with violent disturbances—finally settled into a state of calm.

Outside the formation, the Dragon Corpse Beast, the Destroying Heaven Demon, and the rest of the group stood in a state of bewilderment, having witnessed the abnormal tremors shaking the Myriad Demon Great Array.

Even the Dark Abyss Giant Beast wore a look of deep contemplation.

"Could something have happened to the Holy Master?" Destroying Heaven Demon inquired.

They were all aware that Yang Xiaotian was deep in Cultivation within the spatial dimensions of the Myriad Demon Great Array.

The intensity of the array’s shaking just moments ago had been unprecedented.

"Is it possible that the Holy Master has successfully condensed a totem?" Lei Zihao mused aloud.

"It is a possibility! However, there is no telling what level of totem it might be," the Yin Yang Ghost Master remarked.

Given that the Myriad Demon Great Array had vibrated so fiercely, they assumed it had to be a totem of a very high grade.

In the midst of their speculation, the array's space tore open. Demonic energy surged forth in billows as a figure stepped out—it was Yang Xiaotian.

Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian emerge, the entire group rushed forward to welcome him.

"Holy Master."

After nodding to the crowd, Yang Xiaotian inquired about the events that had transpired on the Ancestor Continent during his period of secluded Cultivation.

Yang Xiaotian was somewhat taken aback when he learned that the Young Clan Leader of the Ancestor clan had cleared the World Academy’s Inner Sect Disciple examination. "Oh? He actually passed the Inner Sect Disciple exam for the World Academy."

"Indeed. Ever since the Young Clan Leader became an Inner Sect Disciple of the World Academy, the Ancestor Clan has been incredibly arrogant," Red Dragon Mad Demon said with a sneer. "They have been acting with high-profile bravado, bragging everywhere that their Young Clan Leader will surely be favored by the Ancestor of the World Academy. They even claim he is destined for special training to become the World Academy's Saint Heir."

Having been imprisoned and tortured by the Ancestor Clan Chief, the Red Dragon Mad Demon’s hatred for the clan burned more fiercely than anyone else's.

Yang Xiaotian paid little mind to the Ancestor clan’s boasts regarding their Young Clan Leader becoming the Saint Heir.

The World Academy stood as the preeminent power within the Holy Realm, drawing the gaze of even the Eternal Realm. Ascending to the position of Saint Heir was no simple feat.

Across the myriad continents of the Holy Realm, there were countless Ancient Clans and legendary geniuses far more brilliant than the Young Clan Leader of the Ancestor clan. In Yang Xiaotian's eyes, the boy's ambition to become the Saint Heir was nothing more than a fantasy.

"Let us strike now and destroy the Ancestor clan’s headquarters!" the Dark Abyss Giant Beast roared.

The Dark Abyss Giant Beast had taken on a human form, yet he remained a titan, standing dozens of meters tall with his frame draped in shifting shadows.

Yang Xiaotian shook his head at the suggestion of an immediate assault on the Ancestor clan's lair.

Even with the Dark Abyss Giant Beast and the Dragon Corpse Beast at his side, his current forces were insufficient to completely wipe out the Ancestor clan.

If the Dragon Corpse Beast could return to its peak, it might be able to challenge the Ancestor Clan Chief. However, much like the Blood Demon Old Monster, the Dragon Corpse Beast suffered from Cultivation issues that prevented a full recovery of its power.

Furthermore, the Dark Abyss Giant Beast's strength was, at most, on par with the Ancestor of the Ancestors.

Uprooting the Ancestor clan would be a monumental task.

Igniting a full-scale war right now would likely lead to nothing but mutual destruction.

Because of this, he needed to continue accumulating power.

Shortly after, Yang Xiaotian gave orders for everyone to prepare, as he intended to set out for the World Continent in a few days.

The news of his departure for the World Continent filled everyone with a mixture of joy and astonishment.

"Has the Holy Master truly succeeded in condensing his totem?" Blood Demon Old Monster asked with excitement.

All eyes turned toward Yang Xiaotian.

Noticing the concerned gazes of his followers, Yang Xiaotian gave a small smile and a nod. "Yes, I have succeeded!"

The group was stunned into silence.

Yang Xiaotian did not specify the rank of the totem he had formed, and no one dared to pry.

Nevertheless, since he had successfully condensed a totem, he would undoubtedly take part in the World Academy’s Inner Sect Disciple examination upon reaching the World Continent. At that time, the true nature of their Holy Master's totem would be revealed to all.

Over the following days, Yang Xiaotian issued a series of directives to the four Commanders of Myriad Demon City and the leadership of the Three Pure Saint Sect.

Since he would be at the World Academy and unable to return for some time, he had to ensure the Ancestor Continent was well-managed in his absence.

The experts of both Myriad Demon City and the Three Pure Saint Sect were electrified by the news that Yang Xiaotian would be testing for the World Academy.

"Do not worry, Holy Master. With us on guard, the Ancestor clan will not dare to act out of turn!" the four Commanders of Myriad Demon City promised.

The Elders and Ancestor of the Three Pure Saint Sect gave similar pledges of loyalty.

It wasn't long before word of Yang Xiaotian’s plan to join the World Academy reached the ears of the Ancestor clan.

"What? Yang Xiaotian intends to take the World Academy’s Inner Sect examination?" Both the Ancestor Clan Chief and the clan's Ancestors were shocked by the report.

"Yang Xiaotian only recently reached the Saint King Realm. How could he have ascended to the Holy Emperor Realm so rapidly?" Ancestor Nie Heng found the news impossible to believe.

The Ancestor Clan Chief shared Nie Heng's skepticism.

His expression was dark as he addressed his subordinates. "Discover exactly when Yang Xiaotian plans to depart the Ancestor Continent and which route he will take!"

He was determined to intercept Yang Xiaotian one last time before he could escape the continent!

He could not permit Yang Xiaotian to reach the World Academy's examination.

Sensing the chilling murderous intent in the Clan Chief’s voice, the gathered experts immediately rose to carry out his orders.

A few days later, Yang Xiaotian, accompanied by the Dragon Corpse Beast, the Destroying Heaven Demon, and a select few, departed Myriad Demon City and set a course for the World Continent!

Yang Xiaotian traveled with a small group this time, leaving Old Lu behind to oversee the Mist Continent’s forces.

As the World Continent grew closer, the Dragon Corpse Beast and the others were filled with anticipation.

The vessel cut through the void at high speeds.

Even with the impressive speed of the Dragon Night Spaceship, the trek to the World Continent would take two to three years. During this long transit, Yang Xiaotian remained in his private chamber, consuming Holy Fruit and Buddha Liquid while utilizing The Three Pure Ones’ energy to advance his Cultivation.

Just as the spaceship reached the borders of the Ancestor Continent, a thunderous explosion rocked the vessel, causing it to shudder violently.

Yang Xiaotian was jolted from his meditation in the secret chamber. An ambush?

He and his companions rushed to the deck, where they found the massed armies of the Ancestor clan blocking their path.

Leading the blockade was the Ancestor Clan Chief himself, surrounded by a phalanx of the clan's Ancestors.

It was clear the Ancestor clan had mobilized their full strength for this interception.

The moment Yang Xiaotian appeared, the Clan Chief's eyes flared with lethal intent. "Yang Xiaotian, today you die!" He immediately summoned his massive, kilometer-high Ancestor’s Body and drove both palms toward Yang Xiaotian.

The air filled with the roars of countless Holy Spirits.

Simultaneously, the various Ancestors of the clan manifested their own Ancestor’s Bodies, launching a coordinated strike against the Destroying Heaven Demon and the rest of the crew.
