Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2162: Discovered by the Master of Holy Realm
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Right at the moment when the Hou Family Head believed the soul curse would stab straight into Mo Tiankuang’s forehead, it suddenly froze mere inches from his brow.
Mo Tiankuang had braced for the soul curse to invade his mind and unleash agonizing torment, yet after lingering in anticipation with no pain arriving, he finally lifted his eyelids and spotted the curse suspended right in front of him.
He stood there in shock.
The Hou Family Head shared the same astonishment. He whipped around sharply, eyes darting across the area, and bellowed with rage, "Who is it? Show yourself!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the ceiling of the hidden chamber cracked apart, revealing a man clad in azure robes descending from above.
As this man appeared, the air inside the chamber grew heavy, the overwhelming spatial force slamming the Hou Family Head to his knees like he was buried under countless colossal chaotic peaks.
The Hou Family Head let out a furious growl, struggling to rise, but the spatial might proved far beyond what he could handle, keeping him pinned down firmly.
Every effort to push up only intensified the crush, as though his backbone might shatter at any second.
"Who are you?!" The Hou Family Head’s features twisted, his stare fixed on Yang Xiaotian.
Mo Tiankuang stared in wide-eyed wonder at Yang Xiaotian, his expression bursting with thrill, "Myriad Domains Majesty!"
Myriad Domains Majesty?
The Hou Family Head gazed at Yang Xiaotian with utter disbelief.
Yang Xiaotian glanced over at Mo Tiankuang, trapped within the formation’s bonds, and with a casual snap of his finger, he demolished the surrounding array runes holding him.
"Senior Mo," Yang Xiaotian grinned.
In that instant, the Hou Family Head fixed his gaze on Yang Xiaotian’s rear, a realization striking him, filling his eyes with dread, "Could you be the Lord of Three Realms?!"
Yang Xiaotian passed a Primordial Life Holy Fruit to Mo Tiankuang, then faced the Hou Family Head and declared, "Indeed, I am Yang Xiaotian."
The Hou Family Head trembled violently, his inner turmoil spilling out; he never imagined Yang Xiaotian would be the one showing up!
In reality, the Hou Family had long uncovered that Yang Xiaotian was the killer of Hou Longxian back in the Lower Realm. Once Yang Xiaotian claimed the title of Ancestor Dragon Realm Master, the Hou Family, seeking safety, swore loyalty to the Master of Holy Realm.
Luckily for them, Yang Xiaotian had slain the Son of the Holy Realm, igniting an unquenchable fury in the Master of Holy Realm toward him. For so many years, Yang Xiaotian avoided stepping foot in the Holy Realm.
The Hou Family had assumed that with the Master of Holy Realm still alive, Yang Xiaotian wouldn’t risk coming back. Yet, against all odds, not only did he return, but he landed right at the Hou Family’s stronghold on Blue Elephant Continent!
"May I ask what brings Your Majesty to our humble Hou Family?" The Hou Family Head inquired, his voice betraying deep unease.
Yang Xiaotian ignored the Hou Family Head’s question and instead turned to Mo Tiankuang, "Senior Mo, are you okay?"
Having consumed the Primordial Life Holy Fruit, Mo Tiankuang’s wounds mended substantially. He shook his head, "It’s nothing serious anymore." Then he clasped his hands and bowed deeply, "My deepest thanks, Myriad Domains Majesty."
Yang Xiaotian dismissed it with a wave and a warm smile, "No need to stand on ceremony with me, Senior." His eyes then shifted to the Hou Family Head.
Prior to arriving, he had received reports from followers like Mad Demon about how the Hou Family on Blue Elephant Continent, along with the Zhao Family and others, had bent the knee to the Master of Holy Realm. Through the years, they had quietly sabotaged the World Academy in numerous ways.
The Hou Family Head quailed under Yang Xiaotian’s piercing look, a sense of doom creeping over him. His voice quivered, "Lord of Three Realms, we possess a Soul Jade Medallion linked to the Holy Realm Academy. Should any harm befall us, they will know immediately!"
Hearing the Hou Family Head’s warning, Yang Xiaotian replied with a composed smile, "Don’t worry, I won’t take your life!"
Just as the Hou Family Head’s tension eased a fraction, Yang Xiaotian added, "I’ll merely cripple you instead!"
By sparing their lives, the Soul Jade Medallion remained intact, and the Holy Realm Academy stayed in the dark!
The Hou Family Head’s face drained of color, and as he opened his mouth to protest, Yang Xiaotian launched his fist forward.
With that strike from Yang Xiaotian, the Hou Family Head felt as if the very Heavenly Dao might crumble; not even the Heavenly Dao could endure such a blow!
Boom!
A gaping hole tore through the Hou Family Head’s chest, hurling him backward to smash against the chamber’s walls.
The devastating force rippled outward, reducing the chamber to rubble.
Yet Yang Xiaotian had already deployed a sealing array, ensuring no noise escaped to the outside.
The Hou Family Head’s complexion paled to a ghostly shade.
Yang Xiaotian’s blow had utterly demolished every holy vein and his Dantian inside.
Still, he struggled to accept it. Hadn’t he reached the Harmonization Ninth Layer Realm? How had Yang Xiaotian’s power surged to this terrifying level?
What’s more, he could tell Yang Xiaotian hadn’t drawn on the origin energies from the Ancestor Dragon Realm, Primordial Demon World, or Bright Heavenly Realm; this was raw power from Yang Xiaotian alone.
Having crippled the Hou Family Head, Yang Xiaotian gestured once more, dropping a rune onto him that sealed him in place.
Without someone breaching this chamber, no one would ever uncover the ruined and confined Hou Family Head hidden within.
Yang Xiaotian brought Mo Tiankuang along, activating Space-Time Instantaneous Movement to exit the chamber and materialize beyond the Hou Family’s central compound.
Upon linking up with the Chaos Abyssal Beast, he directed it to escort Mo Tiankuang away from Blue Elephant Continent, bound for the World Academy using his special token.
He himself lingered on Blue Elephant Continent, intent on hunting down the Long Ye Dragon Body.
Regarding the Hou Family Ancestor, Zhao Family Ancestor, and Zhao Family Patriarch, he intended to confront them once he secured the Long Ye Dragon Body.
That said, the Hou Family Head’s absence would soon draw attention from the Hou Family, so locating the Long Ye Dragon Body demanded haste.
To Yang Xiaotian’s fortune, merely three days after departing the Hou Family’s main grounds, he detected traces of the Long Ye Dragon Body. Tracking the aura, he reached a concealed underground site and uncovered the Long Clan Great Formation established by Long Ye.
Upon locating Long Ye’s Long Clan Great Formation, Yang Xiaotian devoted an hour to studying it, then unlocked its barriers and stepped into the formation’s inner domain.
As Yang Xiaotian ventured into that inner realm and laid eyes on the Long Ye Dragon Body, back at the Hou Family, the Ancestor required the Hou Family Head’s input on a matter and questioned his aides, learning the head hadn’t left the chamber for three full days. Suspicious, he headed there himself.
Reaching the chamber, he noticed the array cloaking its entrance.
Spotting that array, he instantly knew trouble had brewed and, rallying several Hou Family ancestors, they shattered the barrier by force, exposing the imprisoned Hou Family Head within the chamber.
"Who did this?!" The Hou Family Ancestor thundered.
"Yang Xiaotian!" The Hou Family Head spat out in bitter rage.
Yang Xiaotian?!
That name hit like a thunderbolt, instantly silencing the raging Hou Family Ancestor and every other ancestor, plunging the chamber into dead quiet!
"Yang Xiaotian!" The Hou Family Ancestor ground out between clenched teeth.
Without delay, he retrieved a message talisman to reach out to the Master of Holy Realm.
As a top-tier figure on the Eternal Realm List with Supreme Overlord status, direct contact with the Master of Holy Realm came easily to him.
At that very moment, the Master of Holy Realm sat in deep meditation within his vast formation space, absorbing World Origin Liquid, when the Hou Family Ancestor’s message talisman arrived unexpectedly. Intrigued, he checked it, and the contents ignited a blazing wrath within him.
"Yang Xiaotian, you actually dare set foot in the Holy Realm again!"
"You’ve sealed your fate with death!"
