Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2066: The First Demon

Once the area was repaired, the master-disciple ceremony resumed.

However, as the proceedings continued, the melodious notes of a magical flute suddenly echoed through the air.

This enchanting sound seemed to descend directly from the Nine Heavens.

It relentlessly bored into the minds of everyone present.

The melody of the magical flute possessed a mesmerizing quality, forcing people to witness various illusions against their will.

Even the ancestors of many Primordial Ancient Clans found themselves struggling to withstand this Demon Sound.

"It’s the Nine Nether Demon Sound!" Xin Lei’s expression shifted instantly.

Upon hearing those words, a collective gasp swept through the crowd.

The Nine Nether Demon Sound is legendary for being the most terrifying Demon Sound in existence; it first induces illusions before driving victims into a madness that turns them against one another.

Resisting this Nine Nether Demon Sound is considered nearly impossible.

Yet, it had been absent from the world for many, many years.

"The First Demon," Bai Yan remarked, his gaze piercing into the depths of the void.

The First Demon!

The faces of everyone present twisted in shock.

Could the one playing this Nine Nether Demon Sound truly be the First Demon?

The Nine Nether Demon Sound is frightening on its own, but if the First Demon is the performer, who could possibly endure it?

At that moment, waves of the Nine Nether Demon Sound surged toward Yang Xiaotian like countless invisible demonic needles, attempting to flood into his Sea of Divine Soul.

Without a second of hesitation, Yang Xiaotian unleashed his Innate Buddha’s Power. Three thousand Primordial Buddhas manifested behind him while the Sixteen Wings of Bright expanded overhead, followed by the emergence of his Chaos King Light Totem.

The Chaos King Light Totem cast its radiance across the heavens, and the chanting of ten thousand Buddhas echoed between Heaven and Earth.

Shielded by the Chaos King Light Totem and the Innate Buddha’s Power, the crowd finally regained their senses.

However, Yang Xiaotian’s Cultivation realm was simply too low. Despite the immense power of his Chaos King Light Totem and Innate Buddha’s Power, it was impossible for a Holy Emperor Realm cultivator like him to fully block the Nine Nether Demon Sound of the First Demon.

The sound waves continuously seeped through the Light Totem and the Innate Buddha’s Power.

The Master of Holy Realm stood nearby, watching coldly without any intention of helping.

As the Nine Nether Demon Sound continued to breach the defenses and draw near Yang Xiaotian’s Sea of Divine Soul, just as he was on the brink of destruction, Bai Yan suddenly roared: "Awaken!"

With Bai Yan’s command, white flames erupted like a massive tsunami.

Everywhere the waves of white flame reached, the Nine Nether Demon Sound was completely eradicated.

Only moments ago, the Nine Nether Demon Sound had turned the World Academy dim and gloomy, but in a heartbeat, everything was restored.

The surging white flames climbed toward the sky, crashing into the furthest reaches of the Vault Of Heaven.

The Nine Nether Demon Sound stopped instantly.

Far outside the World Academy, deep within a mountain range, an elder enveloped in Demonic Qi lowered his magical flute. He cast a long, profound look toward Bai Yan’s position before transforming into demonic energy and disappearing.

At the Main Hall square of the World Academy, it felt as though everyone was waking from a nightmare.

Remembering the life-threatening danger they just faced, many could not help but wipe cold sweat from their brows.

No one had suspected that the First Demon had mastered the Nine Nether Demon Sound to such a degree; it appeared the sound had truly reached the Nine Nether realm.

Even the Nine Heaven Divine Phoenix wore a grim expression.

It was no wonder that even the Evil Head had claimed the only ones he truly feared were the Master of Holy Realm and the First Demon.

This First Demon was far more terrifying than anyone had imagined.

Though the confrontation was brief, the First Demon’s Nine Nether Demon Sound had left a permanent scar on everyone’s soul.

Seeing the Demon Sound neutralized and noting that the First Demon made no further moves, Bai Yan looked toward where the sound had originated before continuing to lead the ceremony.

This time, there were no more interruptions.

The master-disciple ceremony proceeded without further incident.

Nevertheless, the guests found it hard to settle their nerves, as if the echoes of the Nine Nether Demon Sound still haunted their minds.

Three hours later, the event finally reached its conclusion.

After the rites, Bai Yan looked at Yang Xiaotian with great pride. He produced a set of armor and said with a smile: "Your master has nothing better to offer you, but I personally forged this armor, and I give it to you today."

As Bai Yan revealed the armor, looks of intense envy appeared on the faces of the crowd.

The Taiyin Armor!

It was famous for being one of the most powerful defensive armors in the world.

Bai Yan had poured an incredible amount of effort into creating this piece, and to everyone's surprise, it was now being handed to Yang Xiaotian.

"Thank you, master," Yang Xiaotian said with a respectful bow as he accepted the Taiyin Armor.

Next, Bai Yan pulled a Space Ring from his robes and smiled: "The items inside were collected during my travels. While they may not be peerless treasures, they should prove useful to you."

Yang Xiaotian took the Space Ring, thanking Bai Yan once more.

Even though Bai Yan claimed they weren't exceptional, the contents were undoubtedly rare and valuable.

Following this, the ancestors of the Primordial Ancient Clans, continental lords, emperors, and Sect ancestors all stepped forward to congratulate the pair and present gifts to Yang Xiaotian.

Representing the Phoenix Clan, the Nine Heaven Divine Phoenix also offered a tribute.

The Phoenix Clan’s gifts included a Nine-colored Phoenix Flame Fruit and a vast collection of Heaven and Earth Treasures unique to their bloodline.

The Nine-colored Phoenix Flame Fruit was on par with the Chaos Holy Heart Fruit; however, while the one Yang Xiaotian previously found was four hundred million years old, this one was five hundred million years old.

The Master of Holy Realm also provided a gift: one hundred portions of Five Elements Sacred Soil.

Since Yang Xiaotian needed to strengthen his Holy Land, he was in desperate need of Five Elements Sacred Soil and hadn't expected the Master of Holy Realm to give him a hundred pieces so readily.

After the gift-giving, Bai Yan held a feast in the Inner Hall for the Master of Holy Realm, the Nine Heaven Divine Phoenix, various great ancestors, and several continental lords.

Sect leaders and emperors of great empires were seated in the outer hall.

As for other experts and powerful figures, they were relegated to the plaza outside the hall.

After three rounds of wine had been served...

Suddenly, the Son of the Holy Realm stood up and addressed Yang Xiaotian: "Brother Yang, during the third phase of the World Academy’s trials, you wiped out a million Fierce Beasts using twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty Kaitian Holy Paths. That news stunned the world. Lei Gang wishes to personally witness those twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty Kaitian Holy Paths and the First of Eternity Heart. Would brother Yang do us the honor?"

It’s starting!

In an instant, everyone stopped what they were doing, their eyes locking onto Yang Xiaotian.

Yang Xiaotian glanced at the Master of Holy Realm, who remained in his seat, drinking calmly as if he hadn't heard his son issue a challenge.

"This is merely a friendly spar, brother Yang has no need for concern," the Son of the Holy Realm added.

"Very well, what are the rules?" Yang Xiaotian asked.

"We shall use no Divine Weapons or armor, relying only on our own power," the Son of the Holy Realm stated, clearly wanting to prevent Yang Xiaotian from using the Taiyin Armor he had just received.

"If I am defeated, this Holy Realm Origin Liquid is yours." With that, the Son of the Holy Realm pulled out a Jade Vase. When he opened it, a divine fragrance filled the entire hall.

"Holy Realm Origin Liquid!" Inside the Inner Hall, Xiao Zheng, Xin Lei, and many ancestors were visibly shocked.

Holy Realm Origin Liquid is a rare essence formed from the very Source Power of the world.
