Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2107: 2107: Old Huo, This Is Our New Holy Master
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
More than two months had elapsed.
The vessel came to a halt at the edge of the Primordial Demon World.
Within this realm, demonic qi surged with great intensity, casting phantasms of various demons across the starry expanse. Hidden within the Sea of Demon Energy, countless demons lay in wait.
Because the demonic qi surrounding the Primordial Demon World is exceptionally suited for the Cultivation of Demon Sect Techniques, many demons have spent centuries training within this Sea of Demon Energy.
Naturally, these entities do not merely meditate; they also orchestrate ambushes against solitary disciples who venture nearby, plundering their Cultivation resources.
As Yang Xiaotian contemplated the Primordial Demon World ahead, he could feel the Innate Demon Seed deep within his body beginning to pulse with agitation.
“Enter the Primordial Demon World!” Yang Xiaotian commanded after a brief silence.
The Dragon Night Spaceship surged forward immediately, piercing through the thick Sea of Demon Energy to penetrate the Primordial Demon World.
To avoid the unwanted attention the Dragon Night Spaceship might attract, Yang Xiaotian and his companions had placed an illusion over the vessel, masking its dragon qi and physical form.
Shortly after entering the Sea of Demon Energy, a hidden demon found the temptation too great and launched an assault on the group.
However, the moment the attacker struck, the Destroying Heaven Demon, Blood Demon Old Monster, Red Dragon Mad Demon, Golden Armored Qilin, and Yin Yang Ghost Master retaliated in unison.
The sheer magnitude of their combined power caused the expressions of the attacker and the surrounding observers to twist in shock.
Trapped in a state of sheer terror and hopelessness, the attacking demon was pulverized by the might of the Destroying Heaven Demon, Blood Demon Old Monster, and their allies.
Even without the Abyss of Darkness or the Dragon Corpse Beast intervening, the strength displayed by the Destroying Heaven Demon and the others was far beyond what most experts in the Heavenly Dao Tenth Layer Realms could endure.
Once the demon was obliterated, the nearby onlookers scattered in a frantic panic, much like birds fleeing a disturbed forest.
The spaceship continued its rapid transit.
Without facing any further interference, the party successfully crossed into the Primordial Demon World.
Watching the vessel disappear into the realm, the demons who had fled earlier crept back, whispering about Yang Xiaotian’s party.
“Who could that youth be? To have so many followers at the Heavenly Dao Tenth Layer realms!”
“And don't forget the two who didn't even move! They must surely be powerhouses of the Unity Realm Stage!”
Upon entering the Primordial Demon World, Yang Xiaotian and his group hovered over a vast ocean.
The waters here are entirely black, devoid of any blue or green hues. A thin veil of demonic qi hangs over the entirety of the Primordial Demon World as far as the eye can see.
Even the clouds above are stained black and deep crimson.
They are a vivid, unsettling red that seems to chill one to the bone.
Certain blood-red clouds drift through the sky like predatory beasts, watching the world below with an eerie gaze.
“We shall proceed to the Demon Territory first,” Yang Xiaotian decided after some thought.
Having set his course, he steered the ship toward the north.
His primary objective in visiting the Primordial Demon World was to master the Primordial Demon Holy Body and subsequently absorb the Primordial Demon World Origin.
Since the Cultivation of the Primordial Demon Holy Body necessitates Primordial Demon Energy, his immediate task was to locate a source.
As the most potent form of demonic qi in this realm, Primordial Demon Energy is not easily found in every corner of the world.
The Demon Territory is a renowned location where such Primordial Demon Energy is abundant.
Crucially, the Demon Territory is not under the jurisdiction of the First Demon.
This independence would make their search for Primordial Demon Energy significantly less complicated.
Characterized by chaos and a multitude of competing factions, the Demon Territory is the most lawless area of the Primordial Demon World, defined by slaughter, gore, and shadow.
The web of conflicting interests here is so dense that even the First Demon cannot exert his authority over it.
When the group arrived at the Demon Territory, Yang Xiaotian was immediately struck by the filth, disorder, foul odors, and pervasive scent of blood.
Mounds of skeletons were visible in numerous locations.
Furthermore, some of the bodies were recently slain, still emitting the stench of decay.
The cities within the Demon Territory are dilapidated and riotous; though they possess Guard Armies, the soldiers are largely ineffective.
Within these city walls, the guards rarely intervene, even when murders occur right in front of them.
As they bypassed one such city, a figure slumped by the side of the road caught the attention of the Destroying Heaven Demon, Blood Demon Old Monster, and Red Dragon Mad Demon.
Noticing their reaction, Yang Xiaotian followed their gaze.
The figure was an elderly man, clothed in tatters with knotted hair, huddled on the ground. His aura was fading, and he was clearly suffering from lethal injuries.
The Destroying Heaven Demon, Blood Demon Old Monster, and Red Dragon Mad Demon rushed toward the ragged elder with visible emotion.
His hands shaking, the Blood Demon Old Monster gripped the man’s shoulders, his voice thick with emotion: “Old Huo, is that truly you?”
At the sound of the Blood Demon Old Monster’s voice, the elder trembled. He opened his eyes, staring in shock: “You... Blood Demon?! Is it really you, Blood Demon?!”
He found it hard to believe that he would encounter the Blood Demon Old Monster before his life ended.
“It is me, Old Huo!” the Blood Demon Old Monster replied, choked with emotion. “And I am not alone—Destroying Heaven and Red Dragon are here as well!”
The old man’s eyes widened as he saw the Destroying Heaven Demon and Red Dragon Mad Demon: “Destroying Heaven, Red Dragon, you have come too!”
Both demons nodded, their faces filled with excitement.
“How did you come to this state? Who has done this to you?!” the Destroying Heaven Demon demanded, his excitement turning into a simmering rage.
He could perceive that Old Huo’s Holy Vein was obliterated, his Dantian was shattered, and even his Divine Soul had been grievously harmed.
“It was the followers of the Rain Demon,” the old man answered weakly after a moment of hesitation.
“Rain Demon!” The expressions of the Destroying Heaven Demon and his companions shifted instantly.
The Rain Demon was the third most powerful figure in the Primordial Demon World, surpassed only by the First Demon and the Mad Demon.
The top ten figures in this world are regarded as Supreme Overlords, each possessing terrifying strength.
While the Rain Demon is ranked below the Mad Demon, rumors suggest his true power might equal him, and he only ranks lower because he rarely involves himself in worldly affairs.
“My time is short,” the elder said with a weary smile. “Blood Demon, what brings you here?”
“Old Huo, allow me to introduce our new Holy Master,” the Blood Demon Old Monster said, quickly presenting Yang Xiaotian.
“New Holy Master!” The elder stared at Yang Xiaotian in disbelief before turning to the others. “Are you saying this youth has claimed the Holy Order of Myriad Demons?”
When they heard the old man refer to Yang Xiaotian as a "youth," the faces of the Blood Demon Old Monster and the others paled. They immediately bowed low to Yang Xiaotian: “Your Majesty, Old Huo was unaware of your station and meant no offense. We beg for your mercy!”
The old man was bewildered by their terror. He had merely called the boy a youth; why did it provoke such fear in his old friends?
Who exactly was this young man?
Because his Dantian and Holy Vein had been destroyed years ago, leaving him to wait for death in isolation, he was completely unaware of the events involving the Ancestor Dragon Realm or the World Academy.
Yang Xiaotian dismissed their concerns with a wave of his hand. “It is of no consequence.” After telling them to stand, he produced a Primordial Life Holy Fruit.
“A Primordial Life Holy Fruit!” the old man gasped, his eyes lighting up.
