Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2152: Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and Mad Demon Join Forces

The Meng Family's powerhouses watched as the Mad Demon arrived at the head of his Demon Sect followers, and mirroring their Ancestor's reaction, despair gripped their faces completely.

At the start, a faint trace of hope had remained within them, but the Mad Demon's sudden arrival demolished it without mercy.

Even the U Ghost Evil God, upon catching sight of the Mad Demon, revealed a subtle shift in his features, causing him and his vast army of hundreds of thousands to halt their assault abruptly.

"So it’s you, Lord Mad Demon." The U Ghost Evil God remarked with a forced smile, "I didn’t expect even Lord Mad Demon would come."

The Mad Demon cast a glance at the U Ghost Evil God's insincere grin and replied, "If you, U Ghost, can come, why can’t I, the Mad Demon, come?"

Sensing the irritation in the Mad Demon's tone, the U Ghost Evil God chuckled lightly, "You misunderstood, Lord Mad Demon, I didn’t mean it like that."

The Mad Demon declared firmly, "U Ghost, I want that Innate Star Core, you and your subordinates can leave now."

The U Ghost Evil God's grin stiffened, and he let out a dry laugh, "Since Lord Mad Demon has spoken, we will take our leave." With a wave of his hand signaling withdrawal, he soared off into the distance.

His followers trailed after him, departing one by one through the air.

The Meng Family's experts stood stunned in disbelief.

Not a soul had anticipated the U Ghost Evil God retreating so easily.

As he observed the U Ghost Evil God vanishing into the horizon, the Mad Demon sneered coldly. Naturally, he harbored no illusion that the U Ghost Evil God had genuinely departed.

The Mad Demon could easily predict the U Ghost Evil God's scheme: hiding nearby to let him clash with the Meng Family until exhaustion set in, then swooping back with his forces to claim the spoils.

Yet the Mad Demon dismissed the U Ghost Evil God's petty plots without a second thought. Turning his gaze to the Meng Family Ancestor, he commanded, "Old man of the Meng Family, open the Meng Family Grand Array. I will take the Innate Star Core and then leave with my people, without harming anyone from the Meng Family."

Though the Mad Demon seemed polite in his words, the Meng Family Ancestor placed even less faith in him. The Mad Demon belonged to the same vicious breed as the U Ghost Evil God, perhaps more cunning and brutal besides.

"I will not open the Meng Family Grand Array. As I said before, we of the Meng Family will excavate the Innate Star Core and then hand it over to you. Please, Lord Mad Demon, pardon us." The Meng Family Ancestor replied, cupping his hands respectfully.

"Pardon?" The Mad Demon roared with laughter at the heavens. "What if I refuse?" His eyes blazed with fierce Demon Flames as he fixed them on the Meng Family Ancestor. "Think carefully. If I attack, this Meng Family Grand Array can hold me at most for a day!"

The Meng Family Ancestor shook his head firmly, "Forgive me, but I cannot open the Meng Family Grand Array."

Regardless of the Mad Demon's persuasions or threats, he refused to activate the Meng Family Grand Array.

Hearing this defiance, the Mad Demon held back no longer, his gaze turning savage. "Attack!" Demon Flames erupted across his form, swelling him into a gigantic Mad Demon Body, and he hammered a fist straight into the Meng Family Grand Array.

The warriors loyal to the Mad Demon sprang into motion as well.

A tremendous explosion thundered through the air.

Despite the unified efforts of the Meng Family's elites bolstering it, the Meng Family Grand Array trembled fiercely under the onslaught.

In that instant, from the distant horizon, a brilliant Buddha Light burst forth, expansive like an ocean, surging toward them. This radiance caught the Mad Demon and his Demon Sect forces off guard.

All eyes turned, revealing a horde of Buddha Sect masters charging across the skies.

At their forefront loomed a towering Buddha, gripping a Zen Staff and clad in a shimmering golden Kasaya.

Upon recognizing this colossal figure, even the Mad Demon's face grew solemn. "Heavenly Slaughter Buddha!"

Within the Buddha Sect, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha ranked just below the Present Buddha.

With the Present Buddha in long seclusion, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha effectively commanded the Buddha Sect these days.

Witnessing the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha accompanied by a million-strong force of Buddha Sect experts, the Meng Family Ancestor's spirits plummeted once more. The Meng Family shared no ties with the Buddha Sect; this arrival surely aimed not to rescue them.

Without question, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and his Buddha Sect allies sought the Innate Star Core as well.

In moments, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and the Buddha Sect contingent reached the battlefield.

"Amitabha Buddha!" The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha proclaimed on arrival, intoning the sacred name. Much like the Mad Demon, he urged the Meng Family Ancestor to lower the Meng Family Grand Array, vowing that compliance would spare the Meng Family from harm by him or his Buddha Sect followers, and even shield their disciples from the Mad Demon's rampaging troops.

Such assurances from the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha clearly swayed the Meng Family Ancestor.

After all, the Buddha Sect's reputation for honor far outshone that of the Evil Sect and Demon Path figures like the Mad Demon and U Ghost Evil God.

"If Lord Heavenly Slaughter Buddha vows by the Heavenly Dao, then I will open the Meng Family Grand Array, allowing Lord Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and the Buddha Sect Buddhas to enter." The Meng Family Ancestor stated.

The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's brow furrowed at the demand for a Heavenly Dao oath from the Meng Family Ancestor.

"Old man of the Meng Family, how dare you! Our Lord Heavenly Slaughter Buddha said he would protect your Meng Family, and he will certainly do so. How dare you ask our Lord Heavenly Slaughter Buddha to vow by the Heavenly Dao!" A Buddha Sect master snapped icily.

It was obvious the Meng Family Ancestor doubted their Lord Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's word.

The Meng Family Ancestor shook his head, "I do this for the safety of the Meng Family. Please, Lord Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and everyone else, understand."

The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha responded, "If that is the case, we will not force you." Then, addressing the Mad Demon, he proposed, "Mad Demon, what if we join forces to break open the Meng Family Grand Array?"

The Mad Demon paused in surprise.

The Meng Family's expressions twisted in shock, never imagining the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha would suggest allying with the Mad Demon!

"Break open the Meng Family Grand Array, and whoever gets the Innate Star Core, it depends on ability!" The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha continued, "As for the Meng Family’s Treasure Vault, our Buddha Sect will take sixty percent, and you get forty percent!"

Evidently, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's expedition targeted not just the Innate Star Core but also the conquest of the Meng Family’s Treasure Vault!

Furious at the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's brazen claim on their Treasure Vault and his open negotiation of a sixty-forty share with the Mad Demon, the Meng Family seethed with rage.

The Meng Family Ancestor boiled with anger too, "Heavenly Slaughter Buddha, you actually teamed up with people of the Demon Path! A disgrace to the founding ancestor of the Buddha Sect!"

He came perilously close to branding them outright as shameless.

Gazing at the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha, the Mad Demon burst into laughter, "Such broad-mindedness, Heavenly Slaughter Buddha, I admire it. Alright, let’s join forces to break the Meng Family Grand Array!"

Immediately, both unleashed their strikes against the Meng Family Grand Array in unison.

The forces serving the Mad Demon and Heavenly Slaughter Buddha joined the barrage on the Meng Family Grand Array.

Beneath the apocalyptic might of the Mad Demon and Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's assembled experts, the Meng Family Grand Array wavered on the verge of shattering.

Amid the earth-shaking blasts, the Meng Family's powerhouses felt their vital energies churn wildly.

And the Meng Family disciples spat out blood one after another.

Where the Meng Family Grand Array might have endured a full day against the Mad Demon and his Demon Sect alone, now it scarcely promised to last an hour.

While the Mad Demon and Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's experts hammered relentlessly at the Meng Family Grand Array, the Ancient Heavenly Court pierced the starry voids of the Ancient Star Realm, penetrating into its domain.

The very moment they crossed into the Ancient Star Realm, Yang Xiaotian and his companions caught the thunderous booms rolling from the far edge of the sky.

"It’s coming from the direction of the Meng Family!" Rain Demon, Abyss of Darkness, and the rest exclaimed in alarm.

"Such astonishing Magic Power and Buddha Force, who is it?!"

Yang Xiaotian's heart raced with urgency as he hastily inscribed another Acceleration Divine Talisman, empowering the Ancient Heavenly Court and hurtling it at full speed toward the Meng Family.
