Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2041: The Long Clan Owes Us 1 Trillion
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Observing the Ancestor Clan Chief launch an assault while channeling the Ancestor’s Body, the Dark Abyss Giant Beast let out a freezing snort. "Ignorant fool!" it growled before manifesting its true form, its massive fists surging forward.
The true appearance of the Dark Abyss Giant Beast expanded across the firmament, obscuring the sun and casting the entire world into a deep gloom. Anything standing in the trajectory of its strikes was instantly pulverized, consumed by the encroaching shadows.
The sheer power of the blow was more than any of the Ancestor Clan Elders could endure.
With an irresistible momentum, the dark energy tore through the ranks of the Ancestor Clan Elders, hurtling directly toward the Ancestor Clan Chief.
Alarmed, the Ancestor Clan Chief erupted with golden flames, desperately weaving multiple layers of defensive barriers around himself.
Boom!
The impact was catastrophic; the Ancestor Clan Chief’s protective shields were decimated, shattering instantly under the force.
The previously arrogant and mighty Ancestor Clan Chief was sent hurtling through the air, eventually colliding with a distant mountain peak.
He pulled himself up, his eyes wide with shock as he stared at the creature flanking Yang Xiaotian. "You... you are the Dark Abyss?!"
The Dark Abyss was renowned as one of the most ancient and formidable entities in existence.
How could such a being have sworn fealty to Yang Xiaotian?
"Retreat!" Without a second thought, the Ancestor Clan Chief activated the Void Evasion Technique to flee the scene.
Terrified, the remaining Ancestor Clan Elders also scrambled to escape.
"You think you can just leave? Stay right there!" The Dark Abyss Giant Beast lashed out with its claws toward the fleeing Ancestor Clan Chief.
The very fabric of space where the Ancestor Clan Chief had stood was shredded apart.
Following a massive detonation, the mountain and the surrounding terrain were wiped out, leaving behind nothing but two colossal craters shaped like claw marks.
Several Ancestor Clan Elders were crushed into nothingness on the spot.
Nonetheless, the Ancestor Clan Chief managed to slip away.
The surviving Ancestor Clan Elders fled for their lives, ignoring the severity of their wounds.
As the Dark Abyss Giant Beast and the Destroying Heaven Demon prepared to give chase, Yang Xiaotian commanded, "There is no need to follow them."
Given the Ancestor Clan Chief’s level of Cultivation, killing him during a desperate escape would be difficult even for the Dark Abyss Giant Beast. Furthermore, his death would likely provoke the Ancestor of the Ancestors and the entire Ancestor Clan to launch a total war against Myriad Demon City and the Three Pure Saint Sect.
At this moment, he wished to avoid a final, bloody confrontation with the Ancestor Clan.
Still, after such a defeat, the Ancestor Clan Chief would probably think twice before acting so brashly again.
The Dragon Night Spaceship resumed its journey, accelerating toward the World Continent.
A short while later, the Ancestor Clan Chief and his remaining Elders crashed onto a different peak, the force of their landing causing the mountain to fracture.
"Curse it! How did the Dark Abyss end up by Yang Xiaotian’s side?" The Ancestor Clan Chief was trembling with a mixture of terror and rage.
The Ancestor Clan Elders were equally horrified.
The Dark Abyss was a legend that could rival their own Ancestor of the Ancestors. That it had submitted to Yang Xiaotian was both shocking and baffling to them.
A wave of dread washed over the group.
"Clan Chief, should we notify the Lord Ancestor of this development?" Nie Heng, an Elder of the Ancestor Clan, asked with urgency.
The return of the Dark Abyss and its alliance with Yang Xiaotian was a matter of grave importance.
The Ancestor Clan Chief’s expression shifted rapidly before he eventually shook his head. "Lord Ancestor is at a critical stage of his secluded Cultivation; we must not disturb him."
"Actually, Yang Xiaotian’s intent to take the World Academy’s Inner Sect Disciple trial might work in our favor."
"Once he enters the assessment, his monstrous talent will certainly catch the attention of the Master of the Holy Realm!"
"The Master of the Holy Realm will never allow him to live once he discovers the Primordial Dragon Holy Body!"
"Even with the protection of the Dark Abyss, it won't be enough!"
"The Dark Abyss cannot save him from that!"
"We shall return, recover from our wounds, and wait for the moment Yang Xiaotian perishes. Then, we will move to annihilate Myriad Demon City and the Three Pure Saint Sect!"
With that, the Ancestor Clan Chief led his followers back to their home territory.
Time slipped away, and more than two years passed in a flash.
Yang Xiaotian and his retinue finally reached the borders of the World Continent.
The vessel came to a halt before the massive landmass. From their vantage point, they beheld a staggering, boundless continent floating within the infinite stars. Even from the void, the group could sense the suffocating density of the Holy Spirit Aura.
The World Continent stood as one of the regions with the most concentrated Spiritual Energy in the entire Holy Realm.
The Holy Spirit Aura here was double that of the Ancestor Continent.
Gazing at the World Continent, they were struck by an overwhelming aura of ancient power and prosperity.
This single continent was home to hundreds of thousands of Empires!
Each of these Empires possessed immense strength.
In fact, any one of them could rival the Three Pure Saint Sect.
The World Academy sat at the absolute summit of authority for both this continent and the Holy Realm at large.
"The World Continent likely hides many Dao Holy Flames," Yang Xiaotian whispered to himself.
He intended to transition all his remaining Chaos Divine Fire into Chaos Holy Fire!
If he could successfully concoct a Fifteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Holy Pill, his future Cultivation speed would reach unprecedented levels.
However, his immediate priority was locating the Source of Chaos to form his second Chaotic King Totem and push toward the Holy Emperor Realm.
Yang Xiaotian guided the spaceship and his allies into the atmosphere of the World Continent.
The moment they entered, they were bathed in a refreshing wave of Holy Spirit Aura.
After considering his options, Yang Xiaotian decided to make the Chaos Empire his first destination.
While the World Continent held the Source of Chaos, it remained extremely rare, found primarily within the Chaos Temple of the Chaos Empire.
Thus, the group set their course for the Chaos Empire.
The Yin Yang Ghost Master, Lei Zihao, and the others stood beside Yang Xiaotian. Looking down at the massive cities and sensing the powerful auras within, they felt a surge of excitement.
Only a place like the World Continent could truly ignite their fighting spirit.
Lei Zihao, however, was keenly aware that despite being the second greatest Pharmacist of the Ancestor Continent, his skills might be considered mediocre here.
The World Continent attracted the most legendary master pharmacists from across the Holy Realm.
Because the Dragon Night Spaceship was so distinctive, its arrival quickly drew the eyes of many powerful figures.
"The Dragon Night! Has the Dragon Night returned to the world? Who is controlling it? Which expert from the Long Clan is it?"
"Could that youth in the blue robes be a successor of the Dragon Night?"
The onlookers were filled with wonder.
A vessel as legendary as the Dragon Night naturally invited greed. It wasn't long after their arrival that a group of experts blocked their path.
"They are members of the Chaos Clan from the Chaos Empire!" the Destroying Heaven Demon informed Yang Xiaotian.
The Chaos Clan served as the Imperial Family of the Chaos Empire.
Within the World Continent, the Chaos Clan was a faction of immense influence.
Their collective strength far exceeded that of the Three Pure Saint Sect.
Hong Xing, an Elder of the Chaos Clan, brought the spaceship to a halt and glared at Yang Xiaotian. "Boy, is this Dragon Night yours? The Long Clan borrowed a trillion from our Chaos Clan ages ago and never paid it back. Since you have the ship, surrender it now to cover the interest they owe us!"
The claim that the Long Clan owed a trillion was clearly a lie.
It was obvious the other party simply wanted to steal the Dragon Night and had fabricated a pretext.
"The Long Clan borrowed a trillion from you?" Yang Xiaotian’s face remained unreadable.
"That’s right! And after we take the Dragon Night for the interest, you'll still owe us another trillion!" Hong Xing sneered, his eyes filled with greed.
