Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2134: 2134: Bounty on the Master of Holy Realm
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
After obtaining the Supreme Treasure of the Ancient Heavenly Court, Yang Xiaotian stopped clashing with the Eight Ancestors from the Holy Realm Academy.
Yang Xiaotian summoned Master Ding back and immediately activated the Dark Divine Skill, vanishing completely into the void.
The Eight Ancestors of the Holy Realm Academy had no means to pursue him, even if they desperately tried.
At this point, as Yang Xiaotian employed the Dark Divine Skill alongside the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique, with Master Ding aiding in masking his aura, the Eight Ancestors of the Holy Realm Academy stood no chance of locating him.
As they observed Yang Xiaotian fade away into the void, the Eight Ancestors of the Holy Realm Academy wore faces of utter gloom while nearing the corpse of the Son of the Holy Realm, their bodies quivering at the looming fury from the Master of Holy Realm.
“Should we inform His Majesty?” one of them inhaled deeply and suggested.
The remaining seven managed a reluctant nod.
All of them realized that hiding this incident was impossible. No matter the anger from the Master of Holy Realm, reporting it was unavoidable.
Right then, Chen Mo, Wu Chong, and their group were briefing the Master of Holy Realm on the troops advancing into Sun God Tribe lands to hunt for Yang Xiaotian, noting that upon entry, they faced opposition from countless Sun God Tribe powerhouses, who were now all detained and cast into Cold Smoke Ancient City.
“How many did you manage to seize?” the Master of Holy Realm inquired.
“Roughly three or four hundred thousand,” Chen Mo answered with respect. “However, certain ones fought back with extreme ferocity, leading us to slay more than a hundred thousand right there!”
The Master of Holy Realm gave a nod and prepared to command the execution of every defiant Sun God Tribe expert when abruptly, the Message Talisman on his waist began to shine.
A sense of confusion washed over him as he removed it for inspection, realizing it came from the Eight Ancestors assigned to protect the Son of the Holy Realm. Without warning, a foreboding sensation surged within his chest.
Bracing himself with intense unease, he unfolded the message.
When his gaze fell on the contents of the Message Talisman—“The Son of the Holy Realm fell to Yang Xiaotian’s blade, and the Ancient Heavenly Court fell into Yang Xiaotian’s hands”—his thoughts exploded in chaos, his grip trembled fiercely, and he froze in place, stare vacant and lifeless.
Chen Mo, Wu Chong, and the rest stared in shock at their Master of Holy Realm’s stunned expression.
“Yang Xiaotian!” In an instant, the Master of Holy Realm unleashed a heartbreaking bellow, his tone brimming with endless murderous rage.
That bellow from the Master of Holy Realm jolted Chen Mo, Wu Chong, and their companions.
“Gang’er!” He wailed next, genuine sobs escaping as tears flowed down his face. Lei Gang, the Son of the Holy Realm, had grown up right under his careful guidance. Though not by blood, he cherished him beyond any true son.
For countless years, he had eagerly awaited Lei Gang’s absorption of the Bright Heavenly Origin to ascend as the Lord of the Bright Heavenly Realm.
The moment Lei Gang claimed the title of Lord of the Bright Heavenly Realm, his intention was to proclaim this triumphant event across the entire Eternal Realm.
Yet now!
“Yang Xiaotian! I swear to annihilate you!” the Master of Holy Realm howled in grief.
Hearing their Master of Holy Realm abruptly scream Yang Xiaotian’s name, then invoke the deceased Son of the Holy Realm, and finally vow to end Yang Xiaotian, left Chen Mo, Wu Chong, and the others reeling in horror, their spirits plummeting.
Was it possible that their Highness had actually perished at Yang Xiaotian’s hands?!
Acceptance eluded them.
They struggled to accept that Yang Xiaotian possessed such brazen nerve!
“Lock down the Bright Heaven Heavenly Palace restricted zone!” the Master of Holy Realm bellowed out of nowhere. “Command every force to converge on the Bright Heaven Heavenly Palace restricted zone immediately!”
The remnants of the Bright Heaven Heavenly Palace lay hidden inside the Bright Heaven Heavenly Palace restricted zone.
“Announce a massive bounty on Yang Xiaotian. Whichever soul brings him in alive receives one trillion plus ten thousand drops of Holy Realm Origin Liquid!”
Shouted the Master of Holy Realm.
A bounty of one trillion!
Plus ten thousand drops of Holy Realm Origin Liquid!
Chen Mo, Wu Chong, and their allies reeled from the sheer magnitude of it.
All knew the immense value of Holy Realm Origin Liquid. Back when Yang Xiaotian took Bai Yan as his master during the discipleship rite, the Son of the Holy Realm forfeited two thousand two hundred drops of Holy Realm Origin Liquid to Yang Xiaotian in a bet, leaving the Holy Realm Academy’s numerous ancestors in prolonged agony.
This time, the bounty reached ten thousand drops!
Countless years would pass before the Holy Realm could yield ten thousand drops of that Origin Liquid!
At that instant, the truth dawned on everyone.
Even without the Master of Holy Realm detailing every detail, Chen Mo, Wu Chong, and the group pieced together the tragic events.
The realization that Yang Xiaotian had slain the Son of the Holy Realm? Members of the Holy Realm Academy could barely contain their seething desire for vengeance.
Before long, the Master of Holy Realm’s bounty decree rippled across the lands.
The Bright Heavenly Realm quaked in response.
Turmoil engulfed the Eternal Realm.
One trillion alongside ten thousand drops of Holy Realm Origin Liquid!
And aimed squarely at Yang Xiaotian!
The Eternal Realm could scarcely remain unmoved.
Though the Master of Holy Realm and Holy Realm Academy omitted mention of the Son of the Holy Realm, word of Yang Xiaotian’s slaying of the Son of the Holy Realm raced through the realms.
The clash pitting Master Ding against the Eight Ancestors of the Holy Realm Academy had drawn the attention of countless powerhouses, after all.
Furthermore, the Son of the Holy Realm’s demise, coupled with his Soul Jade Medallion shattering back at the Holy Realm Academy, made secrecy futile.
“What? Yang Xiaotian slew the Son of the Holy Realm!” Cheng Zhan, Li Quan, and Liao Yuan of the World Academy gasped in disbelief; the revelation hit like a thunderbolt.
“Yang Xiaotian’s begging for doom! Utterly begging for it! A mere Saint Ancestor Realm cultivator dares assassinate the Son of the Holy Realm, dares enrage the Master of Holy Realm like this! I doubt even Bai Yan can shield him now!” Cheng Zhan buzzed with thrill and delight at the report.
The downfall of Yang Xiaotian was, of course, a spectacle that filled him with glee.
“Yang Xiaotian’s grown far too cocky, believing himself unbeatable since merging the Dragon Realm and Primordial Demon World origins?” Li Quan scoffed. “Let’s sit back and enjoy the show!”
Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and other veteran ancestors of the Holy Realm Academy likewise froze in astonishment upon hearing of Yang Xiaotian’s killing of the Son of the Holy Realm.
“A massive conflict looms ahead!” Xin Lei lamented with a heavy breath.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian caught wind of the Master of Holy Realm’s directive to barricade the Bright Heaven Heavenly Palace restricted zone and the bounty of one trillion plus ten thousand drops of Holy Realm Origin Liquid placed on his head.
Learning of the pursuit bounty on him, Yang Xiaotian directed Rain Demon: “Spread the word: anyone who seizes the Master of Holy Realm earns ten thousand Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Dao Pills!”
With the Master of Holy Realm issuing a bounty against him, it was only fitting to strike back in kind!
Rain Demon paused in shock before responding with fervent zeal, “Understood, Your Majesty!”
In all the world, who else would boldly bounty the Master of Holy Realm? Likely just their own Majesty!
“On top of that, issue yet another proclamation: for capturing any Hall Master or ancestor from the Holy Realm Academy, the reward stands at one thousand Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Dao Pills!” Yang Xiaotian declared.
In truth, Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Dao Pills were plentiful for him.
Should supplies dwindle, he could simply collect fresh ingredients and devote a bit of effort to brewing more.
“Affirmative, Your Majesty!” Rain Demon, Abyss of Darkness, and the rest affirmed with booming voices.
As Rain Demon, Abyss of Darkness, and their followers broadcast the declarations, the intelligence of Yang Xiaotian bounty-hunting the Master of Holy Realm and Holy Realm Academy ancestors swiftly circulated.
Every realm mirrored the shock and upheaval.
Catching the report, Bai Yan chuckled while shaking his head: “This rascal!”
Still, slapping a bounty on the Master of Holy Realm? That was a bold new twist!
Once he tasked Rain Demon with disseminating the announcements, Yang Xiaotian departed the Bright Heaven Heavenly Palace restricted zone with Rain Demon and the group, making their way to a forsaken ancient city where they arranged a formation array to commence the refinement and integration of the Supreme Treasure of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
