Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2099: 2099: Dragon Palace in the Depths of the Sea

Upon hearing those words, the figure on the opposite side let out a laugh: "Kid, you have sharp eyes. Indeed, my master is none other than the Evil Dragon Venerable."

He continued: "Since you recognize my master’s name, you should obediently surrender the spaceship and make your retreat immediately."

However, Yang Xiaotian did not wait for him to finish; he reached out and seized the man with his palm.

The opponent, being only at the Holy Emperor Third Layer, possessed no strength to resist Yang Xiaotian's power.

Though his entire body surged with Holy Power in an attempt to break free from the grasp, he found himself unable to move an inch. He stared at Yang Xiaotian with a look of pure horror, clearly stunned that the youth's strength eclipsed his own by such a wide margin.

"Who are you? My master is the Evil Dragon Venerable!" the man shouted out in anger.

"I am well aware that your master is the Evil Dragon Venerable," Yang Xiaotian replied with a calm expression. "Now, lead us to see him."

The man was left speechless.

To see his master?

"Who exactly are you? What business do you have with my master!" He glared at Yang Xiaotian and the group from the Abyss of Darkness with growing suspicion.

Without a word, Yang Xiaotian directly forced a strand of Devouring Heart Demon Power into the man's body. Instantly, the opponent began to scream in agony, repeatedly howling, "I'll take you! I’ll take you there!"

Only then did Yang Xiaotian retract the Devouring Heart Demon Power. After sealing the man's Holy Power, he tossed him onto the spaceship and warned, "You had better not attempt any tricks, or I will crush the life out of you."

"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare!" The man’s complexion paled as he waved his hands frantically, obediently guiding Yang Xiaotian and his companions toward the island ahead.

As the group flew toward the destination, the surrounding evil aura intensified, condensing into thick, black-gray clouds that hung over the entire sea territory.

Soon, they reached the shores of the island.

It was a massive landmass, with billows of evil aura churning from its depths.

"My master’s palace is situated atop the mountain in the island's center," the captive explained, pointing out the direction for Yang Xiaotian’s group.

Yang Xiaotian took one look at the suggested path and remarked, "The route you’ve pointed out is riddled with Great Array Prohibitions. If a typical Holy Emperor or even a Saint Ancestor were to barge in, they would surely perish!"

"I warned you not to play games with me!"

The man’s face drained of color, panic flashing through his eyes as he stammered, "These Restrictions were all placed by my master. I truly did not know!"

Yang Xiaotian didn't waste time listening to his excuses. He directly crushed the man to death, then took control of the spaceship to navigate around the island's Restrictions, heading straight for the center.

The reason Yang Xiaotian sought this Evil Dragon Venerable was due to a strange feeling regarding the man's background. He suspected the man might have clues concerning the location of the Long Yi Dragon Body.

After navigating past the dense layer of Restrictions, a Dragon Palace appeared in the heart of the island.

This Dragon Palace was shrouded in swirling evil currents, radiating a powerful and sinister aura.

As Yang Xiaotian and his party arrived before the gates, the Evil Dragon Venerable inside detected their arrival and snapped his eyes open.

He charged out of the Dragon Palace, eyeing Yang Xiaotian and the others with deep uncertainty.

The fact that they could bypass his Great Array Prohibitions and reach the island's center suggested they were far from ordinary.

"From where did you obtain your Corpse Dragon Skill?" Yang Xiaotian questioned abruptly.

He recalled seeing mentions of this Corpse Dragon Skill within the notes left by Long Yi.

The Corpse Dragon Skill was a notorious evil Cultivation Technique belonging to the Long Clan, which Long Yi had once sought out.

Now, this Evil Dragon Venerable was actually a practitioner of that very skill!

Upon hearing the question, a murderous glint appeared in the Evil Dragon Venerable’s eyes. He growled, "What Corpse Dragon Skill? I have no idea what you are talking about."

"If you come as guests, you are welcome!"

"But if you come to stir up trouble, humph! You’ve picked the wrong person to provoke!"

With that, he released his full evil power, causing spectral Evil Dragons to manifest and coil around his body.

Yang Xiaotian glanced at the Destroying Heaven Demon, who understood the silent command. He soared into the air immediately, tearing through the void with his bare hands and instantly obliterating every Evil Dragon surrounding the venerable.

The Evil Dragon Venerable himself took a direct hit, stumbling back while coughing up mouthfuls of fresh blood.

Even though the Evil Dragon Venerable had reached the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm, he was no match for the Destroying Heaven Demon, who stood at the same realm but possessed far greater power.

Consequently, neither the Abyss of Darkness nor the Dragon Corpse Beast had any need to intervene.

Realizing the Destroying Heaven Demon had severely wounded him with such ease, the Evil Dragon Venerable was struck by terror and attempted to bolt. However, as he turned to escape, he found his path blocked by the Red Dragon Mad Demon.

He let out an enraged roar, "Move!"

He shifted instantly into his Evil Dragon Body, swinging a massive Dragon Claw toward the Red Dragon Mad Demon.

The Red Dragon Mad Demon responded by transforming into his own Dragon Body, meeting the strike with his own claw.

A thunderous explosion shook the area.

The Evil Dragon Venerable was sent tumbling through the air, crashing violently into the palace behind him.

The structure shattered into rubble upon impact.

Reverting to his human form, he looked at the Red Dragon Mad Demon with fear: "You... you are the Red Dragon Mad Demon?"

As one of the hundred Ancient Demons serving the Myriad Demon Saint, the Red Dragon Mad Demon’s reputation was known even within the Ancestor Dragon Realm. Without offering a word, the Red Dragon Mad Demon pinned the Evil Dragon Venerable to the earth with his claw.

Under the combined pressure of the Destroying Heaven Demon and the Red Dragon Mad Demon, the Evil Dragon Venerable’s Holy Power was quickly suppressed, and he was dragged before Yang Xiaotian.

"Where did you find the Corpse Dragon Skill?" Yang Xiaotian demanded. "Give me the truth, and I might let you live."

The Evil Dragon Venerable, who had prepared for death, felt a spark of hope. He asked, "Is that the truth?"

"It is," Yang Xiaotian confirmed.

After a brief moment of hesitation, the Evil Dragon Venerable confessed, "I discovered the Corpse Dragon Skill inside a submerged Dragon Palace located in the deep waters of the Longyuan Sea."

"However, the Restrictions guarding that palace are terrifying. I was only able to force my way into the First Layer."

Yang Xiaotian felt a jolt of interest: "A Dragon Palace beneath the Longyuan Sea?" He then commanded, "Take us there now."

Left with no alternative, the Evil Dragon Venerable led Yang Xiaotian and his group toward the deepest reaches of the Longyuan Sea.

After thirty minutes, they arrived at the heart of the sea.

Pointing toward the churning waters below, the Evil Dragon Venerable said, "The Dragon Palace lies at the bottom, but the frigid air down there is so piercing that normal people cannot survive the descent." He paused there.

Normal people might fail, but Yang Xiaotian’s group was anything but ordinary.

Yang Xiaotian immediately called forth the Chaos Xuanming Holy Fire.

"Chaos Holy Fire!" the Evil Dragon Venerable exclaimed in shock.

Ignoring the man’s astonishment, Yang Xiaotian steered the spaceship and dived into the depths with the entire party.

The underwater world was filled with a biting chill, but the heat from the Chaos Xuanming Holy Fire prevented the cold from touching the vessel.

Guided by the Evil Dragon Venerable, they eventually peered through the murky, gray-black cold air to see a colossal Dragon Palace standing on the seafloor.

Yang Xiaotian and his companions descended toward the palace entrance.

Although the Dragon Palace was protected by formidable Restrictions, Yang Xiaotian and his team quickly dismantled them. They soon stepped into the First Layer of the Dragon Palace—the very same hall the Evil Dragon Venerable had reached before.
