Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2108: 2108: Rain Demon, Heavenly Demon Mountain

Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Yang Xiaotian and his companions have arrived in the Primordial Demon World, a realm of dense demonic qi and lurking threats. Seeking Primordial Demon Energy to cultivate the Primordial Demon Holy Body, the group ventured into the lawless Demon Territory, where they discovered a dying old man named Old Huo. A former comrade of the Blood Demon Old Monster and his peers, Old Huo was left broken by the subordinates of the powerful Rain Demon. Discovering that the youth before him is the new Holy Master of the Holy Order of Myriad Demons, the shocked and withered elder receives a rare Primordial Life Holy Fruit from Yang Xiaotian.

“Old Huo, you can set your mind at ease. His Majesty will ensure your wounds are fully mended,” the Blood Demon Old Monster remarked to the elderly man, a grin playing on his lips.

The old man merely shook his head in response. “The Primordial Life Holy Fruit is indeed a treasure, but it can only preserve a fraction of my life force, granting me perhaps a few more years of existence.”

Despite the immense Life Force contained within the Primordial Life Holy Fruit held by Yang Xiaotian, it lacked the fundamental power to repair his shattered Holy Vein, Dantian, or Divine Soul.

Yang Xiaotian instructed the elder to consume the fruit first. Once swallowed, he pressed his palm against the man’s back, channeling the profound energy of the Ultimate Life Holy Body.

“The Ultimate Life Holy Body!” The old man gasped, his heart racing with shock.

He was utterly stunned by the sensation.

Could this level of Life Power truly be...?

It was the thirty-fourth layer of the Ultimate Life Holy Body!

Only reaching such a height could produce vitality of this magnitude!

As the energy of the Ultimate Life Holy Body surged into him, the elder felt his ruined Dantian and Holy Vein begin to knit back together significantly. Even his weary Divine Soul experienced a wave of incredible relief.

The deathly gray hue left the old man’s face, replaced by the healthy glow of returning life.

His breathing, once ragged, began to steady.

Yang Xiaotian eventually withdrew his hand.

Since they were standing in the middle of a street, it was hardly the place for an extended healing session. However, in that brief moment, he had successfully anchored the man’s life force and initiated the recovery of his internal injuries.

At the very least, the elder was now capable of walking and flying without assistance.

“Fire Demon offers his deepest thanks to the Holy Master.” Overwhelmed by the restoration of his strength and the stabilization of his wounds, the old man dropped to his knees before Yang Xiaotian in a gesture of profound gratitude.

This elder was none other than the Fire Demon Elder.

In the past, both he and the Blood Demon Old Monster served as the primary lieutenants to the Myriad Demon Saint.

During his time on the Three Pure Continents, Yang Xiaotian had actually discovered a hoard of Divine Medicine, secret manuals, and a massive supply of Lower Grade Dao Holy Stones left behind by the Fire Demon Elder in a hidden Cave Mansion.

Yang Xiaotian reached out and helped him to his feet.

The Blood Demon Old Monster chuckled, nudging his old friend. “Old Huo, from this moment forward, you should join us in addressing the Holy Master as Your Majesty.”

“Your Majesty?” Though the title confused the Fire Demon Elder, he didn’t hesitate to comply, adjusting his speech to address Yang Xiaotian with the new honorific.

“Let us find a place to settle,” Yang Xiaotian commanded. He led the group away from the bustling street toward the city's premier tavern, where he secured a private courtyard for a few days of rest.

These establishments were typically owned by the great powers of the Primordial Demon World and offered a degree of protection.

Once he had changed into fresh robes, the Fire Demon Elder requested an audience with Yang Xiaotian in the main hall of their courtyard.

Yang Xiaotian began to question him regarding his history over the past years and the nature of his feud with the followers of the Rain Demon.

Facing Yang Xiaotian’s inquiries, the Fire Demon Elder held nothing back, recounting his tale with total transparency.

The Fire Demon Elder had spent his years wandering the Primordial Demon World. He had ventured into the Demon Territory specifically to hunt for clues regarding their former master, the Myriad Demon Saint, after hearing rumors that the Saint had once traveled through these lands.

His arrival in the Demon Territory eventually led to a violent dispute with the Rain Demon’s faction over Primordial Demon Energy.

In the Demon Territory, the Heavenly Demon Mountain intermittently discharges Primordial Demon Energy. These eruptions draw the most powerful experts from across the land to the mountain to claim the energy for themselves.

The Fire Demon Elder had once managed to harvest a significant amount of this energy, an act that drew the greedy attention of the Rain Demon’s subordinates and sparked the conflict.

Despite his considerable strength, the Fire Demon Elder was overwhelmed by a coordinated ambush. The battle left his Holy Vein and Dantian in ruins and his Divine Soul on the brink of collapse.

Rather than finishing him off, the Rain Demon’s men had discarded him on the street like trash, leaving him to rot.

With his cultivation foundations destroyed, the Fire Demon Elder’s life had been a miserable existence, one he considered worse than death.

He had fully expected to die in obscurity until his chance encounter with the Blood Demon Old Monster and the others, a turn of events that filled him with joy.

Yang Xiaotian then shifted the conversation toward the military might of the Rain Demon and the caliber of his followers.

“The Rain Demon possesses a terrifying level of power!” The Fire Demon Elder’s expression turned grim, a flicker of lingering dread appearing in his eyes. “Within the Demon Territory, his influence is so vast he practically controls the heavens with a single hand.”

“He commands a legion of one hundred Demon Generals. Every single one has reached the Unity Realm Stage, and they are elite even among those of that rank.”

“He has even recruited the Star Storm Demon into his ranks.”

Yang Xiaotian’s eyebrows rose at the name. “The Star Storm Demon!”

The Star Storm Demon was a legendary figure on the Holy Realm List.

This list is also frequently called the Eternal Realm List; however, because the rankings are determined within the Holy Realm, the names are often used interchangeably.

In the vastness of the myriad realms, powerful beings are as common as grains of sand, yet only ten thousand are permitted a spot on the Eternal Realm List.

As a ranked dominator, the Star Storm Demon’s prowess was beyond question.

“Indeed, the very same dominator from the Eternal Realm List!” the Fire Demon Elder emphasized. “Furthermore, many other masters of the Demon Sect have sworn their swords to the Rain Demon in recent years.”

He proceeded to list several names, each one belonging to a notorious Old Mo within the Primordial Demon World.

“I never imagined so many Old Mos, and even the Star Storm Demon, would bow to the Rain Demon. It is no wonder his word is law in the Demon Territory,” the Blood Demon Old Monster and the Dragon Corpse Beast remarked, clearly unsettled.

The Abyss of Darkness, however, remained impassive.

While he was also a dominator on the Eternal Realm List, his standing was significantly higher than that of the Star Storm Demon.

After a moment of hesitation, the Fire Demon Elder spoke up. “Your Majesty, the Rain Demon’s reach is long. Perhaps it would be wise for us to depart the Demon Territory for the time being.”

His primary concern was the safety of Yang Xiaotian.

He knew the ruthless nature of the Rain Demon’s camp. If they discovered he had recovered, they would hunt him down, and anyone standing with him—including Yang Xiaotian—would be caught in the crosshairs.

Yang Xiaotian, sensing the elder's anxiety, offered a reassuring smile. “There is no need for alarm.” He then prompted, “Tell me more about the other major factions residing in the Demon Territory.”

The Fire Demon Elder quickly shared every piece of intelligence he possessed.

Yang Xiaotian then asked about the timing of the next energy eruption at Heavenly Demon Mountain. Upon learning it was only a few months away, the group decided to wait it out.

During this period, Yang Xiaotian divided his time between his own cultivation and continuing the Fire Demon Elder’s treatment.

The months passed by rapidly.

On the eve of the Primordial Demon Energy eruption, Yang Xiaotian and his companions checked out of the tavern and began their journey toward the Heavenly Demon Mountain.

The Fire Demon Elder could not suppress his anxiety as they drew closer. He knew that the Rain Demon’s forces would certainly be present for the eruption.

A violent confrontation seemed unavoidable.

“Old Huo, stop worrying. Unless the Rain Demon himself intervenes, His Majesty will be perfectly safe,” the Blood Demon Old Monster said, attempting to soothe his friend's nerves. “After all, we have the Abyss elder among us.”

“The Abyss elder?” The Fire Demon Elder blinked in confusion.

“Allow me to introduce the esteemed Abyss of Darkness,” the Blood Demon Old Monster said, gesturing toward the dark figure.

“What? The legendary Abyss of Darkness!” The Fire Demon Elder stared at the shadowy man standing beside Yang Xiaotian, his jaw nearly dropping.

The Abyss of Darkness gave a small, acknowledging nod toward the elder.

The Fire Demon Elder’s mind whirled with shock. This was a high-ranking dominator from the Holy Realm list!

It was no wonder His Majesty and the others remained so composed regarding the coming conflict.

The Abyss of Darkness was famous for his legendary duel with the Present Buddha, a feat of strength that people still spoke of with awe even centuries later.
