Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2103: You Still Can’t Kill Me
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Yang Xiaotian had already anticipated that hosting this Dragon Battle would provoke another assassination attempt from the Demon God Cave.
Far from being fearful, Yang Xiaotian actually hoped that an Innate Demon God Powerhouse—one of the cave's founders—would be the one to strike this time.
To eventually refine and merge with the Primordial Demon World Origin, he required the strength of a Thirty-Four Layer Innate Demon God.
If he could slay such an Innate Demon God Powerhouse and consume their essence, his own Innate Demon God power would finally reach that Thirty-Four Layer threshold!
Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s unwavering determination to proceed with the Dragon Battle, the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor had no choice but to fortify the Dragon Battle Mountain Range, deploying significantly more troops than originally planned.
In the following days, Yang Xiaotian remained with the Silver Heavenly Dragon Clan to focus on comprehending the Kaitian Level Great Dao.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
The day of the Dragon Battle finally arrived.
Accompanied by the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor and a retinue of Dragon Ancestors, Yang Xiaotian set out for the Dragon Battle Mountain Range.
The Abyss of Darkness and the Dragon Corpse Beast pack followed closely behind.
Upon their arrival, they found the mountain peaks swarming with Dragon Clan disciples from every corner of the Ancestral Dragon Realm. The crowd erupted in excitement at the sight of Yang Xiaotian, falling to their knees in unison: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
By now, Yang Xiaotian’s reputation among the Dragon Clan in the Ancestral Dragon Realm was so immense that it rivaled the legendary status of the Long Clan Ancestor and Long Yi.
Surveying the kneeling experts and their fervent faces, Yang Xiaotian gave a slight nod, signaling for them to stand, before continuing toward the Dragon Battle Square with the Dragon Ancestors.
Yang Xiaotian looked out over the sea of Dragon Clan disciples. Just as he prepared to speak, the void suddenly split open and a figure stepped through the tear.
The appearance of this figure caused Heaven and Earth to shudder. Every person present felt as though an invisible mountain was crushing their Divine Souls.
The pressure was so intense that even the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor felt paralyzed, his Divine Soul seemingly frozen in place.
Of everyone gathered, only the Abyss of Darkness possessed the strength to withstand this invisible divine pressure.
As the figure moved toward Yang Xiaotian, the surrounding Dragon Clan experts and disciples found themselves physically unable to move.
Sensing the familiar aura of Innate Demon God power, Yang Xiaotian remarked, "An Innate Demon God!"
There was no doubt; this individual was a founder of the Demon God Cave.
The intruder looked at Yang Xiaotian with a hint of astonishment and gave a nod of approval. "Impressive. To be able to speak while under my soul-capturing demonic might, you truly deserve the title of the First of Eternity’s genius!"
"It is a pity, however. Regardless of your talent, I must take your life today!"
Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian spoke up, "Submit to me, you and the Demon God Cave. If you swear your service, I will grant you mercy. In the future, once I ascend to the level of a Heavenly Dao Saint, I can even provide you with a Fourteen Tribulations Heavenly Grade Harmonization Pill for your Cultivation."
These words left the entire assembly in shock.
The powerhouse from the Demon God Cave burst into a loud laugh. "Serve you? Yang Xiaotian, do you actually believe you are the Creator Lord?"
Not even the Master of the Holy Realm could force the Demon God Cave into submission.
"Admittedly, a Fourteen Tribulations Heavenly Grade Harmonization Pill is a very tempting prize," the opponent added with a smile. "However, the Demon God Cave has already taken the contract to kill you. To protect our reputation, no price you offer today can save your life."
Having finished his sentence, he resumed his advance toward Yang Xiaotian.
"You are incapable of killing me," Yang Xiaotian stated with total composure as the figure drew near.
Stunned for a moment, the opponent laughed and said, "Do you believe the Abyss of Darkness can shield you? His power is formidable, but it isn't enough to save you. Only your master, Bai Yan, might have stood a chance!"
"But we know Bai Yan is currently occupied at the World Academy."
They had done their research and were certain Bai Yan could not arrive in time to intervene.
Without another word, he suddenly struck out with both palms—one aimed at the Abyss of Darkness and the other directly at Yang Xiaotian.
As the attack was launched, the Abyss of Darkness felt a wave of terrifying Heavenly Power descending upon him.
He gasped in horror, "Heavenly Power!"
Heavenly Power was the stage that existed above Holy Power!
Like the Present Buddha, this opponent had successfully cultivated Heavenly Power!
With no time to spare, the Abyss of Darkness shifted into his dark form and unleashed his full strength into his palms.
Even so, despite his transformation and maximum effort, he was unable to fully block the opponent's might.
A remnant of the force slipped past the Abyss of Darkness and hurtled toward Yang Xiaotian.
Even a fraction of an Innate Demon God’s power was devastating; a normal Holy Emperor Realm expert would have been pulverized instantly.
The Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor and the other Dragon Ancestors let out furious roars, their bodies glowing with Dragon Force as they tried to rush to his aid.
Just as the palm force was about to impact Yang Xiaotian, Space-Time suddenly froze. The area directly in front of Yang Xiaotian became completely stagnant.
While Space-Time was suspended, Yang Xiaotian gave a light press forward, causing the opponent’s palm force to pop and vanish like a bubble.
The crowd was speechless with amazement.
Even the Innate Demon God was stunned.
"How?!" the Innate Demon God exclaimed in shock. "That is Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin Power! You have refined the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin Power!"
The Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor and his peers were shaken to their core.
Their Majesty had actually refined the very Origin of the Ancestral Dragon Realm?!
The Abyss of Darkness, the Dragon Corpse Beast, the Destroying Heaven Demon, and the others were equally stunned.
Time seemed to stand still.
A heavy silence fell over Heaven and Earth.
The Innate Demon God’s heart sank. He finally realized that Yang Xiaotian’s true trump card wasn't the Abyss of Darkness—it was Yang Xiaotian himself!
Since Yang Xiaotian had refined the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin Power, what did that imply?
Reacting instantly, he attempted to dissipate his physical form and flee the Ancestral Dragon Realm.
But Yang Xiaotian, who had waited specifically for such a valuable target, had no intention of letting him go.
Yang Xiaotian reached out and grasped the void. The entire space crumpled like a piece of paper, forcing the fading figure of the Innate Demon God to manifest once more.
Looking at Yang Xiaotian, the Demon God's previously cold and emotionless face was finally overtaken by panic.
"I offered you a chance, but you threw it away," Yang Xiaotian said, beginning to walk through the air toward his foe.
He had meant exactly what he said about sparing the opponent if the Demon God Cave submitted to him.
Only now did the Innate Demon God Powerhouse truly understand the weight of those words.
With a thunderous roar, his body expanded until he became a colossal Demon God, towering between Heaven and Earth. He exuded an overwhelming, nearly invincible aura that weighed down on the entire Ancestral Dragon Realm.
Every Dragon Clan powerhouse in the realm felt a surge of alarm.
Even the Destroying Heaven Demon and the Blood Demon Old Monster were stunned. The power radiating from the Innate Demon God was now several times more potent than before.
Was this the true, unrestricted power of an Innate Demon God?
Having taken his true form, the opponent brought his palms down like two massive demonic mountains, aiming to crush Yang Xiaotian, the Silver Heavenly Dragon Ancestor, and everyone nearby.
The space around them vibrated violently, appearing as if it might shatter into pieces.
However, Yang Xiaotian simply turned his palms upward, meeting the supposedly invincible strike and stopping it in its tracks.
