Invincible Divine Sword - Chapter 324
Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Yan Family of the Myriad Gods Empire
“Oh, the Thousand Buddha Medicine God has lost the bet?” Yang Xiaotian exclaimed in astonishment.
Not only was the Medicine Path of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God extremely advanced, but his Martial Dao was also top-notch. Yet, he had lost.
“Yes,” the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor nodded, “As for how he lost, it’s impossible to investigate. Over the years, no one has been able to find that Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.”
“The tale of the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword must be just a rumor then.”
A rumor?
Yang Xiaotian knew that the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword was indeed in Martial Emperor City.
“My Lord, do you wish to enter Martial Emperor City?” asked the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor. “However, Martial Emperor City is only open for one day each year. If my lord wishes to enter, you’ll have to wait another three months.”
“Open for only one day a year?” Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.
“Yes, Martial Emperor City has many restrictive spells that automatically dissipate for one day every year. Inside, there are many steles and walls inscribed with the Martial Emperor’s martial arts from his time,” the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor explained. “On this day each year, many skilled practitioners flood into Martial Emperor City to comprehend the Martial Emperor’s martial arts and divine skills.”
Yang Xiaotian calculated that if he went to the Soul Sea to kill the Deep Sea Demon Roc and hurried back, he would just be able to catch Martial Emperor City when it opened.
The Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor then said, “It is said that this time when Martial Emperor City opens, the Demon Sky Sword God and his disciple Wei Zongyuan will also enter.”
Yang Xiaotian was surprised. Wei Zongyuan would enter Martial Emperor City too?
“My Lord, please be careful if you enter Martial Emperor City at that time,” the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor said.
Yang Xiaotian nodded.
These days, Wei Zongyuan had been announcing to the outside world that he would challenge Yang Xiaotian again and defeat him.
Yang Xiaotian was aware of this.
However, if he indeed encountered Wei Zongyuan in Martial Emperor City, he would make Wei Zongyuan utterly despair.
The next day.
Before dawn, Yang Xiaotian and the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor left Buddha Light City.
Yang Xiaotian took out the Abyssal Spaceship and, with all his might, steered it toward the Soul Sea.
Inside the spaceship, Yang Xiaotian finally opened the jade bottle containing the divine-level elixir.
Instantly, divine light shot skyward from the jade bottle, illuminating the entire spaceship.
Inside the bottle, there was actually a Buddha sitting cross-legged!
A golden Buddha, radiating golden Buddha Light and divine light.
When the golden Buddha saw the bottle open, it looked up at Yang Xiaotian. With just one glance, Yang Xiaotian felt his Divine Soul tremble and nearly lost himself.
Fortunately, Yang Xiaotian’s Soul Power was strong, and he regained his composure.
Yang Xiaotian was astonished. He had not expected the spirit of the golden Buddha that had transformed from the divine-level elixir to be so powerful.
Nevertheless, fortunately, there were restrictions set up by the Thousand Buddha Medicine God inside the bottle, preventing the other party from escaping.
Yang Xiaotian promptly closed the jade bottle again.
He would need this divine-level Golden Buddha Divine Elixir when he made his breakthrough to the Saint Realm later.
Afterward, inside the spaceship, Yang Xiaotian practiced the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique.
Currently, he had mastered up to the forty-seventh move of the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique.
Only two moves were left before he could fully master the technique.
Once he returned from the Soul Sea, he would be able to complete the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique.
On the spaceship, he practiced the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique and Thunderclap Nine Heavens in the morning. In the afternoon, he refined Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pills and perused the Alchemy Secret Manual left by the Thousand Buddha Medicine God.
At night, he primarily focused on the Primordial Dragon Art.
These days, following the absorption of the Abyssal Master’s Beast Soul energy, his Black Dragon Martial Spirit underwent significant changes, with its body growing larger each day.
Moreover, the dragon scales on the Black Dragon Martial Spirit became increasingly dense and tough, while the surrounding Dark Power roiled like an ocean.
Compared to the Black Dragon Martial Spirit, the changes in the Black Tortoise Martial Soul were somewhat smaller.
When Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Soul Sea, dawn was just breaking.
The morning sun shone on the surface of the Soul Sea, making it seem as though it was draped in a golden veil.
Yang Xiaotian put away the flying ship and flew forward with the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor, the Iceflame Kylin, and the Azure Thunder Python.
Outside, he hadn’t felt anything unusual, but as soon as he entered the Soul Sea, he felt enveloped by a mysterious power.
This mysterious force was intangible, yet palpable.
The Iceflame Kylin explained, “This is an invisible soul force formed over millions of years in the Soul Sea. It is said that long ago, there was no Soul Sea.”
“Later, an unparalleled strong practitioner killed a Soul Beast, and the blood of that Soul Beast flowed into this region, merging with the sea water here, gradually forming the Soul Sea!”
“Some say that the Soul Beast did not truly die, and that the invisible soul force of the Soul Sea is the soul power of that Soul Beast.”
“Perhaps after millions of years, that Soul Beast will be revived.”
Yang Xiaotian was astonished by the origins of the Soul Sea.
“It’s just a legend, not necessarily true,” the Azure Thunder Python shook its head and said.
The two continued to fly deeper into the Soul Sea.
Just like in the Soul Beast Forest, strong practitioners could be seen hunting Soul Beasts everywhere, to condense soul rings for their disciples.
However, those who entered the Soul Beast Forest to hunt were almost all strong practitioners from the Buddha Source Empire and nearby empires, but the Soul Sea was different. The strong practitioners who entered the Soul Sea to hunt came from the great empires across the Azure God Continent.
“Myriad Manifestation Empire!”
“Great Brahma Empire!”
“Buddha Pagoda Empire!”
Occasionally, when they encountered experts from some of the empire’s supreme sects, the Iceflame Kylin and Azure Thunder Python would share information with Yang Xiaotian about the powers and unique skills of these supreme sects.
They also informed him of what he should be cautious about if he ever encountered these supreme sect experts in the future.
“Myriad Gods Empire! Yan Family!” Suddenly, the Iceflame Kylin’s expression turned grave as it looked at a group of strong practitioners ahead.
Yang Xiaotian was also shocked.
There were hundreds of empires on the Azure God Continent, and the Myriad Gods Empire was the strongest empire at present, bar none.
He had also heard of the Yan Family, which was not only one of the strongest families in the Myriad Gods Empire but also one of the strongest families on the Azure God Continent.
Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the strong practitioners of the Yan Family.
The Yan Family’s strong practitioners were all dressed in golden battle robes, which were exceptionally eye-catching. The few elders at their forefront had an awe-inspiring divine might, and each had an aura stronger than that of the Iceflame Kylin and Azure Thunder Python.
As Yang Xiaotian was observing the Yan Family’s strong practitioners, a young man from the Yan Family said unpleasantly, “Kid, what are you looking at? Keep staring, and I’ll gouge out your eyes!”
Yang Xiaotian’s brow furrowed.
“Kid, do you think I’m joking?” The young man from the Yan Family’s eyes turned cold, and he was about to make a move.
Both the Iceflame Kylin and Azure Thunder Python had a cold gleam in their eyes.
At that moment, an elder from the Yan Family spoke up, “Yan Long, when you’re outside, try to cause less trouble!”
Only then did the young man from the Yan Family drop the matter.
The people from the Yan Family flew away, disappearing into the sky.
“Just as expected, the disciples of the Yan Family are arrogant and domineering!” the Iceflame Kylin said coldly.
“Ever since the fall of the Lord of Azure God, the people from the Yan Family and Shen Family have become more and more unrestrained. If it wasn’t for Lord Azure Bear, I’m afraid the Azure God Continent would have already fallen into chaos,” the Azure Thunder Python said in a solemn voice.
Yang Xiaotian and his companions continued to fly forward.
Soon, they encountered a team of strong practitioners dressed in purple battle armors.
All these people had a very strong aura.
Seeing this team of strong practitioners, the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor spoke with reverence, “These are disciples from the Azure God Mansion!” Then he explained to Yang Xiaotian, “The Azure God Mansion is the power left behind by the Lord Azure God.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian felt a chill in his heart.
