Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2156: Entering Thunder Sound Mountain

Quickly, the directives from the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha spread far and wide.

Every mighty expert across the Buddha World exploded in rage.

"The Buddha’s Kasaya stands as a peerless artifact that every soul deserves a shot at claiming. What right does the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha have to seal off Thunder Sound Mountain?"

Numerous formidable powerhouses, trusting in their own might, brushed aside the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's commands and pressed on toward Thunder Sound Mountain.

After all, the allure of the Buddha’s Kasaya proved irresistible to all inhabitants of the Buddha World.

Yang Xiaotian and his companions, en route to Thunder Sound Mountain, caught wind of the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's decrees as well.

"Does this Heavenly Slaughter Buddha truly believe he's the head of the Buddha Sect, commanding the shutdown of Thunder Sound Mountain?" Mad Demon scoffed at the news of the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's orders.

Were the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha actually the ruler of the Buddha Sect, folks in the Buddha World would surely hesitate to defy him, yet he held no such position at present!

It was simply that the majority of powerhouses on Heavenly Buddha Mountain chose to heed his directives.

Yet Heavenly Buddha Mountain couldn't speak for the whole Buddha World.

Yang Xiaotian and his group, of course, paid no mind to the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's edicts and kept surging forward with the masses toward Thunder Sound Mountain.

Along the path, reports flooded in about fierce clashes breaking out around Thunder Sound Mountain.

The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha had already sent troops to encircle Thunder Sound Mountain, yet waves of strong individuals kept charging through, sparking violent confrontations.

Several days onward, Yang Xiaotian and his allies spotted Thunder Sound Mountain in the far distance.

Thunder Sound Mountain rose majestically over a boundless sea of Buddha, piercing the heavens with its colossal presence. Even from afar, all could sense the unparalleled Buddha aura pouring forth from Thunder Sound Mountain.

Tales claim that Thunder Sound Mountain was crafted by the Past Buddha himself, thus infused with the Past Buddha's supreme Buddha aura.

Encircling the sea that enveloped Thunder Sound Mountain, a massive force had been stationed, entirely loyal to the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha.

Despite relentless attacks from elites of diverse groups, as moments ticked by, reinforcements from the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha swelled the ranks, bolstering the encirclement around Thunder Sound Mountain. It grew ever tougher for latecomers to pierce the fortified lines.

As Yang Xiaotian and his party drew nearer to Thunder Sound Mountain, the chief commander of the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's forces bellowed, "Stop right there! By order of Master Heavenly Slaughter Buddha, none may advance on Thunder Sound Mountain!"

"Defy this, and you'll all face capture, thrown into the Buddha Prison!"

"With no hope of freedom!"

With no hope of freedom!

This chief commander aimed to hammer home the dire penalties of storming Thunder Sound Mountain through such harsh threats to Yang Xiaotian and the rest!

But the moment the chief commander wrapped up his warning, Mad Demon lashed out with a savage claw: "Out of my path!"

A horrifying demonic claw crashed down instantly onto the chief commander's skull; he recoiled in terror and scrambled to shield himself, only to get hurled into the sea by Mad Demon’s strike.

The waters churned wildly and burst upward, unleashing a storm of enormous waves.

The enormous army fell into utter chaos.

Just as the soldiers moved to surround them, Mad Demon roared, "The Lord of Three Realms arrives; who among you dares block the way?!"

The Lord of Three Realms arrives!

Mad Demon’s proclamation boomed like thunderclaps rolling through the ranks on all four flanks.

The soldiers poised to close in pulled back in stunned retreat.

Yang Xiaotian summoned the Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body, unleashing a domineering holy pressure that swept the entire realm.

Upon witnessing Yang Xiaotian’s Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body, not a single warrior in the army mustered the nerve to challenge or halt them, fleeing in fright instead.

Yang Xiaotian guided Mad Demon, Rain Demon, King of Netherworld, and the others straight into Thunder Sound Mountain.

"Relay to the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha: pull back his troops from Thunder Sound Mountain and end this siege; fail that, and should I claim the Buddha’s Kasaya, he'll kneel upon Heavenly Buddha Mountain for a full century." Yang Xiaotian’s words echoed out from deep inside Thunder Sound Mountain.

The army's commanders exchanged uneasy glances.

Right then, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and his followers had reached the vicinity, and his features twisted in fury at the report of Yang Xiaotian storming Thunder Sound Mountain.

Even the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's own aides seethed with outrage.

"Who does Yang Xiaotian fancy himself to be, bossing around our Master Heavenly Slaughter Buddha? Does he imagine he's the ruler of our Buddha World?!" The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's aides all fumed in unison.

The earlier clash over the Innate Star Core had already stoked deep resentment in the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's aides toward Yang Xiaotian. They hadn't anticipated his return to vie for the Buddha’s Kasaya while hurling barbs at their Master Heavenly Slaughter Buddha.

The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha let out a cold laugh, "Claim the Buddha’s Kasaya? Yang Xiaotian, with me present, you'll never lay hands on the Buddha’s Kasaya! If it's to be found, rest assured it falls to me!"

Saying this, he produced a strand of Buddha Beads.

These Buddha Beads were none other than the Buddha Sect's ultimate relic, shaped by the Past Buddha.

Armed with these Buddha Beads, he could dispel every barrier within Thunder Sound Mountain and pinpoint the Buddha’s Kasaya with ease.

Shortly after, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and his elite entourage reached Thunder Sound Mountain.

The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha commanded his army chiefs, "Disregard Yang Xiaotian’s threats; maintain the lockdown on Thunder Sound Mountain. Seize any who try to force entry, lock them away in the Buddha Prison; should any emerge from Thunder Sound Mountain, grab them and toss them into the Buddha Prison too!"

Sensing the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's imposing aura, the army chiefs bowed their heads in deference and assented.

With that, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha ushered his followers into Thunder Sound Mountain.

Once inside Thunder Sound Mountain, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha channeled Buddha Force into the Past Buddha Beads, igniting them with radiant glow. Wherever the beads' illumination spread, Thunder Sound Mountain's barriers dissolved, offering no hindrance to the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha and his crew.

Striding through as if reclaiming his domain, the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha explored Thunder Sound Mountain freely.

Still, the inner expanse of Thunder Sound Mountain stretched endlessly, like a Super Continent. Despite the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha's unchallenged wanderings, scouring every inch of its vast space would demand no less than a decade.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian invoked the Innate Buddha Ancestor Power, steering Mad Demon and the others further into Thunder Sound Mountain's depths.

Thanks to the Innate Buddha Ancestor Power, Yang Xiaotian keenly detected the Buddha Sect barriers nearby and sidestepped them effortlessly.

At the same time, Yang Xiaotian stirred the essence of the Contemporary Buddha Staff and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts to track the Buddha’s Kasaya's aura.

The Contemporary Buddha Staff, Three Thousand Buddha Precepts, and the Buddha’s Kasaya formed an original trio of Buddha Sect supreme treasures, allowing him to detect the Buddha’s Kasaya if it lay within ten thousand miles via the Contemporary Buddha Staff and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts.

The Heavenly Slaughter Buddha remained oblivious to Yang Xiaotian's hold on the Contemporary Buddha Staff and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts; otherwise, his smug certainty about securing the Buddha’s Kasaya would have crumbled.

Without notice, darkness descended.

As dusk turned to night, Thunder Sound Mountain's barriers intensified, prompting many intruders to pause their hunts under cover of shadows. Yet the Innate Buddha Ancestor Power freed Yang Xiaotian from fretting over the ramped-up defenses.

The Innate Buddha Ancestor Power blazed with dazzling brilliance through the night.

From afar, beholding such a mesmerizing Buddha Ancestor Power, certain experts mistook it for a Buddha Sect supreme treasure and rushed over in delight, only to reel back in awe upon spotting Yang Xiaotian and Mad Demon in the midst.

A handful of days passed.

Upon arriving at a particular rugged terrain, the glow from the Contemporary Buddha Staff and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts flared wildly around Yang Xiaotian, surging with unprecedented fury.
