Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2086: 2086: Xuanming Demon Sect and the Silver Heavenly Dragon Clan

Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
After refining thousands of historic Fifteenth Tribulation Saint Ancestor Pills and mastering the Bright and Dark Heavenly Books, Yang Xiaotian receives word that the Primordial Universe Taoist was spotted in the Ancestor Dragon Realm. Accompanied by the elite Black Flame Army and his loyal protectors, he sets out on a high-speed journey across the realms to find his master and the legendary Ancestor Dragon Tree. Though his cultivation speed is legendary, Yang Xiaotian remains restless, seeking even greater power to face the looming threats of the Mad Demon and the Master of Holy Realm.

Currently, the availability of Heaven and Earth Treasures capable of swiftly boosting Yang Xiaotian’s cultivation is remarkably scarce.

Aside from a Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine, only legendary items such as the Ancestor Dragon Tree or the Sun Divine Tree would provide a sufficient effect.

Alternatively, the Long Yi Dragon Body would serve the purpose perfectly.

Should he manage to locate and integrate with the Long Yi Dragon Body, his prowess would undoubtedly reach new heights.

While he focused on tempering his various Sacred Bodies and his Divine Soul, Yang Xiaotian maintained a steady regimen for his Innate Demon God Power and Innate Buddha Power.

These two forces were vital for his eventual dominion over the Primordial Demon World and the Buddha Sect. Though he might temporarily pause other cultivation techniques, he remained diligent and unwavering in his training of the Innate Demon God Power and Innate Buddha Power.

Carried by the swift flight of the Dragon Night Spaceship, the party reached the Ancestor Dragon Realm without incident.

The vessel came to a halt at the threshold of the Ancestor Dragon Realm.

The world stretching out before them was saturated with surging dragon qi. This essence permeated every corner of the Ancestor Dragon Realm and even spilled out into the void, creating a vast sea of dragon qi within the surrounding starry sky.

Drifting within this celestial ocean of energy were countless Long Clan Runes.

Over the passage of eons, these marks had evolved into Innate Dragon Clan Runes. Interlocking with one another, they formed a massive Innate Dragon Clan Great Formation that served as a silent guardian for the Ancestor Dragon Realm.

This barrier ensured that outsiders and experts from rival clans found it incredibly difficult to trespass into the Ancestor Dragon Realm.

Yang Xiaotian wasted no time in triggering the strength of his Primordial Dragon Holy Body.

In an instant, the manifestations of ten Primordial Dragons materialized between Heaven and Earth.

The Dragon Night Spaceship carved a path through the sea of dragon qi and breached the Innate Dragon Clan Great Formation.

Because of the resonance with Yang Xiaotian’s Primordial Dragon Holy Body and the nature of the Dragon Night Spaceship, the defensive dragon formation did not launch an attack against them.

The ship glided through the layers of the formation and successfully entered the Ancestor Dragon Realm.

Perhaps due to the influence of his Primordial Dragon Holy Body, Yang Xiaotian felt a strange wave of comfort and recognition the moment they crossed the border.

“Our first destination will be the Tianya Empire,” Yang Xiaotian commanded.

The spaceship accelerated, heading straight for the Tianya Empire.

As they journeyed across various Dragon Cities, Yang Xiaotian and his followers stopped to gather intelligence and listen for rumors.

Simultaneously, Yang Xiaotian utilized the perception of his Primordial Dragon Holy Body to scan for any traces of the Ancestor Dragon Tree.

While the records left by Long Yi confirmed the Ancestor Dragon Tree resided within this realm, the specific coordinates were missing, leaving Yang Xiaotian to track it down personally.

Naturally, acquiring a treasure as rare as the Ancestor Dragon Tree was largely a matter of fate.

The same held true for his search for the Long Yi Dragon Body; it would manifest only when the time was right.

Once inside the Ancestor Dragon Realm, Yang Xiaotian began purchasing all available records concerning Long Yi from local information brokers.

He was particularly interested in any details regarding Long Yi’s life prior to his legendary clash with the Master of the Holy Realm.

Unfortunately, historical data from the era preceding that battle proved exceptionally elusive.

As he hunted for clues about Long Yi and the Ancestor Dragon Tree, Yang Xiaotian slowly pieced together the current state of affairs in the Ancestor Dragon Realm.

Even though the Long Clan’s prestige had faded, a starved camel remains larger than a horse; the foundations of the Ancestor Dragon Realm were still quite formidable.

However, the devastating war of the past had claimed the lives of the Long Clan Ancestor and the ten Ancestor Dragons. Today, only a single Overlord Level expert survived within the Long Clan!

That individual was the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor.

The Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor belonged to the same second generation of powerhouses as Long Yi and Long Ye, though he ranked somewhere in the teens regarding combat strength among the clan’s forefathers.

Yang Xiaotian calculated that the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor was likely more powerful than the Dragon Corpse Beast, yet slightly inferior to the Abyss of Darkness.

The night passed peacefully.

Setting up a campfire within a deserted mountain range, Yang Xiaotian and his group spent the evening roasting meat and sharing wine.

The rich scent of the meal drifted through the air.

Meanwhile, the Black Flame Army remained concealed, standing guard in the dark sky above.

As he sipped his wine, Yang Xiaotian’s thoughts turned to his master, the Primordial Universe Taoist.

Recent reports they had gathered suggested that the Primordial Universe Taoist was last seen in the vicinity of the Dragon Destruction Cave.

The Dragon Destruction Cave was notorious as the deadliest location within the Ancestor Dragon Realm.

Excluding the Long Clan Ancestor and the ten Ancestor Dragons, any other expert from the clan who dared to enter the Dragon Destruction Cave faced certain death.

Beyond its lethal ancient restrictions, the cave was said to be the lair of many horrifying entities.

Despite these dangers, legends persisted that the Dragon Destruction Cave was a hoard of treasures, potentially housing a Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine.

Had the Primordial Universe Taoist ventured into those depths in search of the Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine? Or did he have another objective in mind?

As he sat contemplating his master and the cave, the whistling of wind signaled the approach of a large contingent of experts flying toward them at high speed.

Even before they came into view, a thick, rolling Demonic Qi announced their arrival.

It was obvious that these newcomers belonged to a Demon Sect.

The group soon appeared before them.

The warriors were all outfitted in Dark Demon Armor, each bearing a prominent "Nether" character branded upon their chests.

Upon seeing the insignia, the Yin Yang Ghost Master blurted out, “The Xuanming Demon Sect!”

The Xuanming Demon Sect ranked among the top ten powers of the Primordial Demon World. Their presence in the Ancestor Dragon Realm was highly unusual.

This was no small scouting party; thousands of Xuanming Demon Sect experts were on the move. Within moments, the entire host had reached the group’s location.

However, the sect members did not linger. They flew directly over Yang Xiaotian and his followers, continuing their journey forward.

As they passed overhead, the members of the Xuanming Demon Sect cast brief, assessing glances down at Yang Xiaotian’s party.

The silhouettes of the demon cultivators soon faded into the darkness of the distance.

As they moved away, an Elder from the Xuanming Demon Sect remarked, “Young Master, the individuals accompanying that youth are far from ordinary.”

With just a cursory look, the Elder had sensed the immense power radiating from figures like the Destroying Heaven Demon and the Blood Demon Old Monster.

He could identify the strength of those two, but the true depths of the Dragon Corpse Beast and the Abyss of Darkness remained hidden from his perception.

The leading young man replied with a cold indifference, “So what if they are not simple? The world is full of such people. As long as they stay out of our way, we have no quarrel. But if they interfere, they will die!”

Having said that, he led his followers deeper into the territory toward the Dragon Destruction Cave.

Back at the camp, the Destroying Heaven Demon watched the departing group and noted, “Based on their path, they seem to be heading for the Dragon Destruction Cave. Could the Xuanming Demon Sect be planning to enter it as well?”

“It matters little; they have their path, and we have ours,” Yang Xiaotian replied. He then consumed an Ultimate Life Holy Fruit and closed his eyes to meditate.

The following morning at daybreak, the group resumed their trek toward the Dragon Destruction Cave.

By the time they arrived at the site, the sun had risen high.

Despite the daylight, the sky remained overcast and gray, with occasional snow flurries. The Tianya Empire’s location at the northernmost edge of the Dragon Realm meant the climate was perpetually freezing.

The mouth of the Dragon Destruction Cave was immense, resembling a massive city gate. It was shrouded in thick shadows, with swirling currents of gray mist guarding the entrance.

There was no sign of the Xuanming Demon Sect; it was unclear if they had already descended into the depths.

Just as Yang Xiaotian and his team prepared to enter, another group of high-level cultivators approached from the distance.

“Those are members of the Silver Heavenly Dragon Clan!” the Blood Demon Old Monster identified.

The approaching party radiated intense dragon qi and wore Silver Dragon Battle Robes. They were indeed the elite of the Silver Heavenly Dragon Clan. Their patriarch, the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor, stood as the final Overlord Level powerhouse remaining in the Ancestor Dragon Realm.
