Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2051: Reinforcements for World City

"What? The Mad Demon! Xie Shou!" Xiao Zheng and his companions paled instantly upon hearing those names.

The Mad Demon was known as the ultimate demon among demons, holding the rank of second within the Holy Realm Demon Sect!

Xie Shou was arguably even more fearsome, occupying the top position in the Holy Realm Evil Sect!

"Both the Mad Demon and Xie Shou have reached World City and are currently charging toward the Assessment Hall! Elder Chen has already issued a dire warning for everyone to stay away and has triggered the Grand Array there!" the Supreme Elder reported with great urgency.

"Brother Xin, you must inform the Dean immediately. The rest of us are heading to World City right now!" Xiao Zheng shouted, instantly grasping the gravity of the threat.

Xiao Zheng was well aware of the terrifying power these two possessed. Elder Chen, who was overseeing the trials, would certainly be unable to restrain them on his own.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zheng leaped into the air alongside Luo Chong and Teng Si, flying toward World City at their maximum speed.

Simultaneously, Xin Lei sprinted toward the mountain residence of World Academy Dean Bai Yan, frantically sending messages through his Message Talisman.

However, Bai Yan was deep in Cultivation and provided no response.

While racing toward World City, Xiao Zheng’s voice thundered across the sky: "All disciples of the World Academy, hear my command! Proceed to the Assessment Hall in World City immediately to provide reinforcements!"

"There must be no delays!"

Xiao Zheng’s roar echoed over peak after peak, reaching the ears of nearly every disciple in the World Academy.

The entire student body was stunned.

What was happening?

Who would dare to stage an invasion of the Assessment Hall in World City? Who possessed the audacity to challenge the World Academy so openly?

"It is the Mad Demon and Xie Shou! Move quickly! Every disciple must rush to the Assessment Hall!" Luo Chong, the patriarch of the Mission Hall, added his anxious shout to the air.

Mad Demon!

Xie Shou!

Terror gripped the hearts of everyone who heard those names.

One after another, powerful figures began to streak away from the various mountain peaks.

Yet, a question lingered in everyone's mind: why would two such monstrous entities like the Mad Demon and Xie Shou target the Assessment Hall?

"A genius possessing the Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body has appeared! They are in the Assessment Hall of World City! Everyone, move out to protect this youth!" Teng Si, the patriarch of the Medicine Hall, yelled urgently.

"What? A Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body?" The shock was universal. Patriarchs who had been in secluded Cultivation for years suddenly burst out of their cave mansions.

"The Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body has finally emerged! Could this be the one the Dean has been waiting for?"

"Who is it? Which lineage does he belong to?"

Patriarch after patriarch joined Xiao Zheng, Luo Chong, and Teng Si, rushing toward World City with frantic desperation.

The World Academy was thrown into total chaos.

A massive wave of disciples and military forces began to stream out from the academy grounds.

Even Zhou Qin, who had been focused on studying a supreme lute score, stopped dead in her tracks upon hearing the shouts of Teng Si and Luo Chong. Her face was etched with disbelief.

The Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body had actually appeared?

Did such a legendary constitution truly exist in this world?

Once the initial shock passed, she grabbed her ancient lute and took to the skies, heading for World City. She was determined to see this peerless genius with her own eyes.

Meanwhile, Feng Zhong of the Phoenix Clan also overheard the frantic announcements. As he processed the meaning behind the words, his frame trembled with emotion.

The Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body?

Only moments ago, he had hoped that if such a genius never appeared, the Dean might eventually accept him as a disciple. But now, the patriarchs were claiming that very genius had arrived!

And they were right there in the Assessment Hall!

Despite his shock, a fierce fighting spirit ignited within him as he flew toward the city, his form flickering through the air.

He was already considered invincible within his own realm; now, he felt a burning desire to test his strength against this legendary Holy Body!

He silently hoped the newcomer would be a worthy opponent.

As they neared the city, Xiao Zheng, Teng Si, and Luo Chong bellowed another order: "Command the City Lord of World City to fully activate the World Great Array immediately!"

This caused another wave of shock.

The World Great Array had never been pushed to its full capacity before.

Was it really necessary to activate the ultimate defense of the city for a mere Holy Emperor Realm cultivator?

"Xiao Zheng, is it not excessive to fully activate the World Array for a candidate who is only in the Holy Emperor Realm?" Cheng Zhan, an ancestor from the Artifact Refining Hall, asked with clear annoyance.

"I agree, this is inappropriate. The World Array remained dormant even when the city faced major sieges. To activate it now for a Holy Emperor Realm youth? Preposterous!" Liao Yuan, an ancestor from the Mission Hall, grumbled, his dissatisfaction evident.

"Furthermore, this individual isn't even a member of our academy yet," Cheng Zhan pointed out. "When did our standards fall so low that we would deploy the World Array for an outsider?"

"Exactly. Even if he possesses the Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body, he is still just a Holy Emperor. Why should a group of patriarchs rush to his aid? What about our dignity?" Liao Yuan continued to complain.

At that moment, Li Quan, the patriarch commanding the World Academy’s forces, spoke with a heavy tone: "It is absurd to mobilize our entire army and all disciples for someone who doesn't even belong to us!"

"A Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body doesn't guarantee a superior Dao Heart, Holy Path, or Totem. He might fail the remaining three trials entirely!"

He then roared at the marching troops: "All battalions, halt! Do not proceed to World City!"

Xiao Zheng, Luo Chong, and Teng Si looked on with grim expressions. However, since Cheng Zhan, Liao Yuan, and Li Quan held equal rank, they had no power to override their decisions.

"All disciples, follow our lead! Continue to World City!" Xiao Zheng and his allies shouted at the hesitating students before pushing forward themselves.

The City Lord of World City also received Xiao Zheng’s command but, sharing the views of Cheng Zhan and the others, he chose to ignore it. As both the City Lord and a patriarch of the academy, his status was equal to Xiao Zheng’s. He felt no obligation to obey.

Consequently, the World Great Array remained inactive.

While Xin Lei raced toward Dean Bai Yan’s mountain, the Mad Demon and Xie Shou were already tearing through the fabric of space, closing the distance to the Assessment Hall.

Their speed was supernatural. Barely a moment after the hall's internal Grand Array was engaged, the two monsters descended upon the Assessment Square.

The arrival of the Mad Demon and Xie Shou brought a surge of boundless Demon Flames and suffocating Evil Energy that seemed to swallow the entire sky above World City.

The city was as vast as an empire, yet their combined auras draped over it like a dark shroud.

"Mad Demon!"

"Xie Shou!"

Seeing these two nightmarish figures appear before him, Elder Chen’s face turned deathly pale with horror.
