Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2159: Rescuing the Myriad Demon Saint and the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
The Buddha Prison brimmed with a vast wave of Buddha Force, radiant and pure.
No hint of gloom or moisture lingered anywhere.
Yet, as the Mad Demon, Rain Demon, and their companions stepped inside, a profound unease gripped them.
The Demonic Qi surrounding their forms even began to scorch.
Noticing this, Yang Xiaotian wrapped himself in Innate Buddha Power, creating a protective Buddha Barrier that pushed back the overwhelming Buddha Force from the prison.
Only after that did the Mad Demon, Rain Demon, and the rest start to feel a bit more at ease.
In total, the Buddha Prison featured ten levels.
The Demon Clan Holy Ancestor had been confined to the deepest one, the tenth level.
The group soared upward through the levels.
Yang Xiaotian asked the Buddha Hell Leader for the directory of all prisoners in the Buddha Prison, and while heading to the tenth level, he started scanning through it.
He began by checking the names of those held on the tenth level.
To discover who else, apart from the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor, might be there.
Every soul locked away on the tenth level was surely a top powerhouse from the Eternal Realm List!
"Since the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor was imprisoned, have there been any Black Dog and White Dog who came to rescue him over the years?" Yang Xiaotian asked while flipping through the list.
The Buddha Hell Leader paused in surprise at the mention of Black Dog and White Dog.
After a brief thought, he exclaimed suddenly, "Now that Your Majesty brings it up, yes, a Black Dog and White Dog did attempt to storm the Buddha Prison. They're held on the ninth level right now!"
The ninth level!
Delight surged through Yang Xiaotian.
He had posed the question offhand, never imagining that Black Master and White Master had truly been caught and held here.
Though certainty wasn't absolute, there was a solid ninety percent likelihood these Black Dog and White Dog were his old allies Black Master and White Master.
At once, Yang Xiaotian picked up his pace.
Soon enough, they reached the ninth level.
Hundreds of captives filled the ninth level.
Not a vast number.
Each one was sealed within their own separate Array Space.
Yang Xiaotian first demanded to visit Black Master's Array Space.
Once there, he channeled the might of the Contemporary Buddha Staff, Buddha's Kasaya, and the Three Thousand Buddha Precepts to break the seals on Black Master's Array Space.
Stepping into the Array Space, Yang Xiaotian spotted a weary-looking Black Dog!
The Black Dog lounged there, utterly listless and detached.
Though Yang Xiaotian tried to hold back his feelings, excitement bubbled up uncontrollably upon seeing the Black Dog.
As he had guessed, this Black Dog was none other than Black Master!
The very moment Yang Xiaotian crossed into the Array Space, Black Master's gaze snapped toward him.
Spotting Yang Xiaotian, he went rigid in shock, then scrubbed at his eyes in disbelief.
He rubbed hard, yet Yang Xiaotian drew nearer still.
Was it possible?! He leaped to his feet in thrill.
"Xiaotian!" Black Master cried out in exhilaration.
Yang Xiaotian drew close to Black Master and grinned, "Black Master!"
"How did you find out I was locked up here?" Black Master questioned in eager astonishment.
Before Yang Xiaotian rose as Son of the World, Black Master and White Master had already been captured, so Black Master remained unaware that Yang Xiaotian now ruled as the Three Realms Lord.
Hearing Black Master's query, Yang Xiaotian chuckled, "I'm the new Buddha of the Buddha Sect now!"
"The new Buddha of the Buddha Sect!" Black Master gaped in astonishment, staring at Yang Xiaotian, "You've actually become the new Buddha of the Buddha Sect?!"
Yang Xiaotian nodded with a grin, "That's right, I am the new Buddha of the Buddha Sect." Then he burst into laughter, adding, "Alright, let's break out of this place!" With those words, he guided Black Master free from the Array Space.
Not until they stepped out and beheld the Buddha Hell Leader standing in deferential wait did Black Master accept that this was no mere hallucination.
But hold on, wasn't Yang Xiaotian the new Buddha of the Buddha Sect? Then why were all these mighty demons lingering outside in attendance?
And why were there so many powerhouses from the Ancestor Dragon Realm and Bright Heavenly Realm as well?
"Let's go save White Master," Yang Xiaotian urged Black Master, before darting off toward White Master's Array Space.
En route, Yang Xiaotian remarked to Black Master, "Black Master, you've slimmed down quite a bit these days."
At Yang Xiaotian's playful jab, Black Master chuckled and replied, "Stuck in that cell, who could eat or rest properly? How could I not waste away?" He licked his lips with a grin, "It's been ages since I caught a whiff of fine liquor."
Yang Xiaotian let out a booming laugh, "Tonight, we'll feast on roast meat and booze until we drop!"
Black Master's eyes lit up; years had passed since he savored Yang Xiaotian's famed roast meat, not since they first reached the Holy Realm.
How he longed for that flavor!
Shortly after, the party reached White Master's Array Space, where Yang Xiaotian and Black Master ventured inside together. Upon their arrival, White Master blinked in utter disbelief and rubbed his eyes, mirroring Black Master's earlier reaction.
With Black Master and White Master now liberated, Yang Xiaotian led the crew straight to the tenth level.
But the instant they arrived at the tenth level, Yang Xiaotian detected a strikingly familiar presence.
This wasn't the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor's aura, since he'd never crossed paths with the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor.
Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian's eyes locked onto a particular Array Space up ahead.
From within that Array Space emanated the essence of Innate Demon God Power!
Could it really be?
Yang Xiaotian hurried over to that Array Space without delay.
Reaching its entrance, Yang Xiaotian, joined by Destroying Heaven Demon, Blood Demon Old Monster, Red Dragon Mad Demon, and more, stepped inside as one.
Inside, Yang Xiaotian laid eyes on a colossal silhouette.
At the sight of this figure, Destroying Heaven Demon, Blood Demon Old Monster, Red Dragon Mad Demon, Fire Demon Elder, and the rest erupted in overwhelming joy and fervor.
They had wondered earlier why Yang Xiaotian had dragged them along, but the truth dawned on them now.
"Your Majesty!" They dropped to their knees in ecstatic reverence before the imposing form.
Trapped within was the legendary Myriad Demon Saint, known too as the Chaos Demon Master!
He served as the former lord to Destroying Heaven Demon, Blood Demon Old Monster, and their kin.
The Myriad Demon Saint gazed at Destroying Heaven Demon and the others, a mix of shock and delight crossing his face, "Blood Demon, all of you! How on earth did you end up here!"
"His Majesty led us here!" Blood Demon Old Monster and the group chorused, their eyes turning to Yang Xiaotian.
Your Majesty? The Myriad Demon Saint's pulse quickened, and he turned his attention to Yang Xiaotian. Yang Xiaotian advanced toward the Myriad Demon Saint and bowed deeply, "Your disciple Yang Xiaotian pays respects to Master!"
Having endured long years of captivity, the Myriad Demon Saint regarded Yang Xiaotian with profound satisfaction, "Excellent, my fine disciple! It's clear you've claimed my Chaos Demon Hall and mastered the Innate Demon God Power!"
Just then, Blood Demon Old Monster chuckled, "Your Majesty, you might not realize, but His Majesty also reigns as the Primordial Demon World Master!"
The Myriad Demon Saint jolted in astonishment, "Primordial Demon World Master!" He grasped full well the weight of such a mantle.
"That's not all—His Majesty commands the Ancestor Dragon Realm, the Bright Heavenly Realm, and serves as the new Buddha of the Buddha Sect!" Destroying Heaven Demon and the others proclaimed with gleeful laughter.
The Myriad Demon Saint reeled, his mind spinning in a daze.
Even moments after emerging from the Array Space, the Myriad Demon Saint felt like he wandered through a vivid dream.
After freeing the Myriad Demon Saint, Yang Xiaotian proceeded to release the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor as well.
With no other known allies or vital rescues remaining in the Buddha Prison, Yang Xiaotian departed the place alongside the entire assembly.
What caught Yang Xiaotian off guard was the revelation that the Heavenly Slaughter Buddha had jailed the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor due to the latter's knowledge of the Dark Dragon Clan Long Ye Dragon Body's location.
