Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2097: Call of the World

Yang Xiaotian watched in shock as the Nine Nether Demon Sound began to seep into the Ancestor Dragon Great Array.

The horrifying memory of the Nine Nether Demon Sound was still fresh in his mind; even the high-ranking figures of the Holy Realm had been unable to withstand it during the apprenticeship ceremony.

He immediately pushed his Innate Buddha Power to its limits.

Nevertheless, the Nine Nether Demon Sound remained an ethereal and formless force, proving entirely immune to the Innate Buddha Power. Unless Yang Xiaotian could elevate his Innate Buddha Power to the Thirty-Seventh Layer, he would remain helpless against it.

As the melody of the Nine Nether Demon Sound drifted through the air, the Long Clan experts within the formation fell into a trance, their offensive movements coming to a sudden halt.

Beside Yang Xiaotian, even the Black Flame Army ceased their assault. Consumed by madness similar to the Long Clan experts, they turned their weapons toward Yang Xiaotian, the Abyss of Darkness, and their own allies.

Ultimately, only the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor and a handful of Long Ancestors managed to retain a fragile grip on their sanity, refraining from attacking Yang Xiaotian.

Under the heavy pressure of the Nine Nether Demon Sound, Yang Xiaotian’s control over the Primordial Dragon Order began to falter.

The moment the Primordial Dragon Order was no longer sustained, the Ancestor Dragon Great Array would crumble on its own, even without an external strike.

“Wake up!” Master Ding bellowed. His cauldron-shaped body erupted with brilliant light, releasing a formless wave of sound that rippled outward, momentarily snapping Yang Xiaotian, the Black Flame Army, and the Long Clan experts back to their senses.

“The Call of the World?!” The First Demon stared at Master Ding, his expression filled with disbelief.

He had witnessed this technique only once before.

The one who performed it was the Creator Lord!

How could a mere Giant Cauldron possess the Call of the World?

What hidden connection did this cauldron share with the Creator Lord?

However, while Master Ding’s Call of the World could neutralize the Nine Nether Demon Sound, its potency was restricted by Master Ding’s current strength. Consequently, the clarity regained by Yang Xiaotian and the Long Clan was only fleeting.

As the Nine Nether Demon Sound continued its relentless penetration, the Black Flame Army and the Long Clan experts were once again pulled into a state of bewitchment.

Just as the experts of the Long Clan were about to succumb to the trance once more, a single white flame suddenly descended from the void.

Though the white flame appeared modest, the moment it drifted toward the ranks of the Primordial Demon World, any expert it touched was instantly reduced to white smoke, vanishing into nothingness.

Even a Demon Ancestor shrieked in excruciating pain upon contact, his body beginning to spontaneously combust.

The faces of the Nether Demon Lord and the Black and White Sword Demon paled at the sight: “White Flame!”

The flame continued its steady path toward the First Demon.

With a cold snort, the First Demon unleashed a surge of demon flames that boiled like water from his body to intercept the white fire.

When the First Demon’s flames clashed with the white fire, a series of sizzling explosions erupted, sending sparks flying in every direction. Several experts from the Primordial Demon World were too slow to retreat, and their demonic bodies were instantly pierced by the scattered embers.

As the white flames rained down, a figure dressed in white stepped out of the void, appearing majestically above Ancestor Dragon Mountain.

The newcomer was none other than the Dean of the World Academy, Bai Yan!

“Awaken!” Seeing the dazed state of the Long Clan, Bai Yan let out a thunderous shout. In an instant, everyone regained their senses as the Nine Nether Demon Sound was utterly shattered and swept away.

Having just fended off the white flame, the First Demon narrowed his eyes at Bai Yan. He had not anticipated the arrival of the World Academy Dean.

In a low, menacing voice, he said, “Old Bai, this isn't the World Academy. You’ve wandered into the wrong territory. Do you truly believe you can stand against my Primordial Demon World army all by yourself?”

Both he and Bai Yan were matched in Cultivation, both occupying the Tenth Layer Peak of the Harmonization Realm.

While Bai Yan’s flames held a natural advantage over his Demon Path, a life-and-death struggle remained unpredictable, especially with the backing of his Demon Ancestors and the vast demonic host.

“Who told you I came alone?” Bai Yan countered.

As he spoke, the very fabric of space tore open, and a boundless army poured out, led by the likes of Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and Teng Si from the World Academy.

It was clear that the World Academy had committed almost its entire strength to this operation.

The First Demon had attempted to invade the Ancestor Dragon Realm in secret, but such a massive movement could never truly stay hidden from the World Academy’s eyes.

Furthermore, Bai Yan was aware that Yang Xiaotian was within the Ancestor Dragon Realm. Fearing for his safety, he had mobilized the academy’s forces the moment he learned of the Primordial Demon World’s aggression.

The First Demon’s face darkened as he saw the surging tide of the World Academy’s forces, but he quickly roared a fierce command: “Attack with everything! Shatter the Ancestor Dragon Great Array!”

He was obsessed with seizing Yang Xiaotian this time!

His motivation went beyond Yang Xiaotian’s Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Elixir; he also coveted the boy's Primordial Qi.

Immediately, the demonic legions resumed their assault on the Ancestor Dragon Great Array.

However, with Bai Yan standing guard, the First Demon was unable to utilize the Nine Nether Demon Sound, making a swift breach of the array nearly impossible.

Before long, Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and Teng Si led the charge, their World Academy army crashing into the demonic ranks like a tidal wave of steel!

Boom!

The entire Ancestor Dragon Realm shuddered under the impact.

The sheer force of the clashing armies swept across the land, nearly flipping the earth itself.

This reinforcement wasn't limited to the World Academy; tens of millions of soldiers from the empires of the World Continent had also arrived.

The numbers of the World Academy’s coalition were now equal to those of the Primordial Demon World.

For a time, the sky was stained red with blood as a violent, world-shaking battle unfolded.

The local Ancestor Dragon Realm forces were stunned by the scale of the conflict.

A battle of this magnitude hadn't been seen in the Holy Realm for eons—it was essentially a war between entire worlds. The last time such a spectacle occurred was when the Long Clan Ancestor and Long Yi led their realm against the Holy Realm.

Xin Lei engaged the Black and White Sword Demon in a fierce duel, while Xiao Zheng and the Nether Demon Lord fought to a bitter stalemate.

High in the Vault of Heaven, Bai Yan and the First Demon were locked in a savage confrontation. Bai Yan’s hands moved in intricate patterns, scattering white flames like falling stars, while the First Demon’s techniques summoned vast, suffocating seas of demonic energy.

Thanks to the intervention of Bai Yan and the World Academy, Yang Xiaotian finally found a moment to recover, pouring his strength into the Ancestor Dragon Great Array to repel the invaders.

Master Ding shifted into his form as a heaven-reaching Giant Cauldron. His surface glowed a fiery red with pulsing Dao Runes as he repeatedly smashed through the demonic ranks.

The Abyss of Darkness, the Dragon Corpse Beast, the Destroying Heaven Demon experts, and the Long Clan warriors all surged out from the protection of the array to join the fray.

As more reinforcements from the Ancestor Dragon Realm continued to pour in, the tide turned.

Already struggling against the World Academy, the Primordial Demon World army found the added pressure from the Ancestor Dragon Realm forces unbearable, and their casualties began to skyrocket.

Realizing the situation had turned against him, the First Demon weighed his chances. Finally, he gave the signal to retreat, transforming into a streak of demonic light and vanishing.

“Bai Yan, let us see if you can protect your disciple every hour of every day,” the First Demon’s voice hissed from the void.

The combined forces of the World Academy and the Ancestor Dragon Realm watched the demonic retreat, pursuing them until they were driven completely out of the realm.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotian had successfully claimed the Primordial Dragon Order and established himself as the new leader of the Long Clan, Bai Yan felt a profound sense of pride and relief. He decided to remain in the Ancestor Dragon Realm with his army for a short time.

Nevertheless, neither he nor the other elders could remain away from the World Academy indefinitely. One month later, Bai Yan and his companions began their journey back to the academy.
