Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2150: The Meng Family in Peril
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Yang Xiaotian had long assumed the multiverse covered the full extent of existence.
At this moment, he discovered the cosmos extended far beyond his wildest expectations.
"So, Master Ding, do you know the path to the realm outside the multiverse?" Yang Xiaotian asked, unable to contain his curiosity.
"I do, but getting to the space beyond the multiverse requires shattering the multiverse's barrier," Master Ding replied. "That barrier proves incredibly tough to crack, and even the Master of the Holy Realm lacks the power to do so at present."
Shock rippled through Yang Xiaotian. The Master of the Holy Realm, supreme ruler of the multiverse, truly couldn't pierce it?
"The multiverse's barrier lies beyond the Holy Realm. Once the Master of the Holy Realm steps out, he loses access to the Holy Realm's complete origin power, making it impossible for him to breach it," Master Ding clarified. "Even I couldn't manage it without regaining my Ten Strikes of the Epoch strength!"
Currently at the Nine Strikes of Epoch, Master Ding already surpassed the Master of the Holy Realm slightly when beyond its borders. Achieving the Ten Strikes of the Epoch would unleash his truly overwhelming might.
"Yet to reclaim the Ten Strikes of the Epoch power, I require the Eternal Fruit, an Innate Demon Fruit, along with other peerless heavenly treasures," Master Ding stated.
Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian felt a wave of frustration. It looked like he'd have to bide his time until the Tree of Eternal Life and the Innate Demon Tree finally produced their fruits.
Still, even with Mother Qi accelerating the growth of the Tree of Eternal Life and the Innate Demon Tree, fruiting wouldn't occur in mere decades.
In the meantime, how could he boost his power swiftly?
Prior to the multiverse's grand opening, he needed to discover myriad methods to advance to the Unity Realm Stage; that alone would let him dominate the Master of the Holy Realm.
"You might want to hunt for Long Ye’s Dragon Body once more," Master Ding proposed.
"Long Ye’s Dragon Body?" Yang Xiaotian reacted with surprise.
Across the years, he'd failed to locate Long Ye’s Dragon Body, and the Dragon Corpse Beast remained clueless about its whereabouts. With the multiverse's endless vastness, pinpointing Long Ye’s Dragon Body posed a daunting challenge.
That said, Master Ding's mention of Long Ye’s Dragon Body prompted him to ramp up the efforts in his pursuit.
He could even issue a reward to uncover Long Ye’s Dragon Body.
After all, the Abyss of Darkness and Dragon Corpse Beasts had scoured endlessly without success. Persisting in the same vein, they might take a thousand years or more without results.
Therefore, Yang Xiaotian instructed Rain Demon, Abyss of Darkness, and the rest to announce a reward: anyone furnishing leads on Long Ye’s Dragon Body or the other ten Long Ancestors would claim a thousand Fourteen Tribulations Heavenly Grade Harmonization Pills.
The reward circulated rapidly, spurring realms and factions into an intense hunt for Long Ye’s Dragon Body and the remaining Long Ancestors’ Dragon Bodies.
While that unfolded, Yang Xiaotian kept devouring Holy Fruits to cultivate and honing his Innate Holy Spirit, all while anticipating updates on the reward.
Time slipped by in this way, spanning several decades.
Nevertheless, no leads surfaced regarding Long Ye’s Dragon Body or the other ten Long Ancestors’ Dragon Bodies.
One day, as Yang Xiaotian refined his Innate Holy Spirit in cultivation, the Destroying Heaven Demon approached him beaming with delight: "Your Majesty, we've got word on the Meng Family!"
"What! News of the Meng Family!" Yang Xiaotian leaped to his feet, overcome with astonishment and elation.
After countless years, intelligence on the Meng Family had finally emerged!
"That's right, news of the Meng Family has come in," the Destroying Heaven Demon confirmed with glee, knowing full well how vital the Meng Family was to their Majesty, who had relentlessly sought them out for ages.
"Where are they?" Yang Xiaotian demanded eagerly.
"In the Ancient Star Realm," the Destroying Heaven Demon answered without delay.
"The Ancient Star Realm?" Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brow in confusion.
He possessed knowledge of many realms across the multiverse, yet the Ancient Star Realm rang no bells.
"The Ancient Star Realm sits at the multiverse's outer fringes," the Destroying Heaven Demon elaborated. "It's incredibly remote and modest in size, rarely appearing in any rankings, so it's understandable if you're unfamiliar with it."
Their discovery of the Meng Family's presence in the Ancient Star Realm stemmed from years of tireless investigation and queries.
"To the Ancient Star Realm!" Yang Xiaotian declared without a second thought, rallying his forces to depart for the Ancient Star Realm right away.
He reasoned that after Ms. Meng entered the Upper Realm and vanished from sight, she had probably ended up with the Meng Family.
Black Master and White Master might even be there as well.
With that, Yang Xiaotian powered up the Ancient Heavenly Court to its maximum, hurtling toward the Ancient Star Realm with utmost haste.
The thought of Meng Bingxue possibly reuniting with the Meng Family in the Ancient Star Realm sent waves of uncontainable thrill through Yang Xiaotian.
Despite the Ancient Heavenly Court's impressive velocity, it still struck him as agonizingly sluggish!
Next, Yang Xiaotian called on everyone to relay all the details they'd amassed about the Ancient Star Realm and the Meng Family.
A substantial amount of data on the Ancient Star Realm had been gathered by the group.
In contrast, scant details existed on the Meng Family.
For the Meng Family, though based in the Ancient Star Realm, kept its disciples largely confined within their own territories.
As Yang Xiaotian sped toward the Ancient Star Realm, experts from every corner of the realms converged there too.
Whispers had abruptly circulated of a Star Core surfacing in the Ancient Star Realm!
And this was no ordinary find—it was an Innate Level Star Core!
A Star Core promised boundless reserves of Innate Star Essence Water.
Much like Innate Demon Qi, Innate Star Essence Water ranked as a top-tier heavenly treasure.
Thus, the revelation sent shockwaves across all realms, drawing hordes of mighty experts to the Ancient Star Realm.
Word of the Innate Star Core in the Ancient Star Realm soon buzzed into Yang Xiaotian’s awareness.
"Oh, an Innate Star Core," Yang Xiaotian uttered, caught off guard.
"Indeed, and this Innate Star Core lies right in the Meng Family’s domain!" the Destroying Heaven Demon supplemented.
In the Meng Family’s domain?
Yang Xiaotian's expression tightened.
The emergence of the Innate Star Core would inevitably spark a frenzy among powerhouses, igniting brutal clashes. Positioned in the Meng Family's territory, the turmoil could engulf them and risk obliterating the entire Meng Family!
Such an outcome wasn't improbable.
Countless Supreme Sects had vanished in a single night when heavenly treasures materialized in their midst, fueling savage struggles among the elite.
Anxious over the Meng Family's potential destruction, Yang Xiaotian and his allies focused on summoning Acceleration Divine Talismans, propelling the Ancient Heavenly Court to greater speeds.
With a sweep of his arms, Yang Xiaotian unleashed a cascade of Acceleration Divine Talismans, flooding into the Ancient Heavenly Court like a storm.
At his Heavenly Dao Fifth Layer Realm prowess and mastery of formations, Yang Xiaotian generated Acceleration Divine Talismans at breakneck pace, churning out enormous numbers in just moments.
The Ancient Heavenly Court ripped through the starry expanse, swiftly narrowing the gap to the Ancient Star Realm.
At the same time, inside the Ancient Star Realm, the Meng Family braced itself in full vigilance.
The Meng Family Ancestor had commanded the activation of their Grand Array to its peak, gazing intently at the earth ahead with creased brows, as subtle starlight steadily emanated from below.
This starlight differed markedly from typical stellar glow.
From every indication, an Innate Star Core probably lurked beneath the surface.
Innate Star Cores varied wildly in scale, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers or shrinking to a mere few thousand!
He grasped the staggering worth of an Innate Star Core, yet worry eclipsed any elation. The secret of the Innate Star Core's presence in the Meng Family territory had escaped, and waves of formidable experts were already flooding into the Ancient Star Realm.
