Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 557: 557

Yang Xiaotian’s eyes narrowed; this middle-aged man was undoubtedly Zhao Rong! He hadn’t expected to encounter Zhao Rong while visiting his master’s former residence!

Zhao Rong had actually come to the Imperial Capital of the Supreme Empire!

Why had Zhao Rong suddenly come to the Imperial Capital of the Supreme Empire? Could it be for him? Had Zhao Rong found out that he was now at the Mu Family’s main residence?

In an instant, numerous thoughts flashed through Yang Xiaotian’s mind.

“No matter.” At this moment, Zhao Rong spoke with composure, “My Destiny Divine Martial Arts have already borne fruit; opening Divine Master Hong Feng’s treasury will not be a problem.”

“I have come here this time to open Divine Master Hong Feng’s treasury.”

Divine Master Hong Feng left a treasury in this mansion years ago, and the items inside are very important to Zhao Rong.

Therefore, as soon as his Destiny Divine Martial Arts were cultivated to success, he rushed over.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was greatly taken aback.

How could Zhao Rong have the Goddess of Destiny’s Divine Divine Martial Arts?

Only someone who has achieved the small success of the Eternal Divine Body can open the Goddess Palace of the Goddess of Destiny.

Suddenly, he thought of the Elder of Ages.

Did Zhao Rong get his Destiny Divine Martial Arts from the Elder of Ages?

His expression darkened.

Destiny Divine Martial Arts, known as one of the top ten divine arts in the Martial Soul World; Zhao Rong had already mastered Fifteen Swords Intent, and now with Destiny Divine Martial Arts, who could stand as his opponent in the Kunlun Sword Debate a few months later?

“Is there any news about Sword God Nan Tian?” suddenly asked Zhao Rong.

The tall and skinny old man sitting below Zhao Rong was one of Zhao Rong’s six supreme swordsmen, the Myriad Tribulations Sword God, and the strongest under Zhao Rong’s command—the eleventh-ranked formidable presence on the Sword God List!

The Myriad Tribulations Sword God shook his head, “Not yet.” He then said, “However, he was pierced through the heart by the Sun Moon Holy King and Sword God Xuankong; even if he didn’t die, he won’t be far from death.”

What!

Hearing that Sun Moon Holy King, Sword God Xuankong, and others had pierced through the heart of Sword God Nan Tian, Yang Xiaotian was both shocked and enraged.

“Who?!” Just then, suddenly, Zhao Rong swiftly turned his gaze toward where Yang Xiaotian was hiding and fiercely threw a punch.

Powered by Destiny Divine Martial Arts, his punch carried a destructive force that seemed to tear the very sky and earth apart.

The moment Zhao Rong made his move, all the martial artists within the entire Imperial Capital city felt that overwhelming might.

Boom!

Wherever Zhao Rong’s punch passed through, the space where Yang Xiaotian was hiding was blasted open.

As Zhao Rong’s punching power howled past, it continued to blast into the deepest reaches of the sky.

The sky itself trembled violently.

The exploding force of the punch sounded like thunder from the Nine Heavens, reverberating incessantly for a long time.

At this moment, all the Sects and family elders in the Imperial Capital were shocked and pale.

Even Thousand Sword Deity, Titan Giant Demon, and Xie Wuxin were all greatly alarmed.

In front of Zhao Rong’s terrifyingly unmatched power, everyone in the Imperial Capital felt like insignificant ants.

Yang Xiaotian, having felt the terrifying force of Zhao Rong’s punch, was also frightened into a cold sweat.

Zhao Rong’s strength was unprecedentedly powerful; it was the most formidable he had ever seen in his life.

Even though it was just one punch, Zhao Rong’s strength might already surpass that of the Abyssal Master!

After throwing the punch, Zhao Rong did not strike again, his gaze puzzled as he scanned the area where Yang Xiaotian had just been concealed.

Yang Xiaotian, having dodged the punch, did not linger any longer and quickly flew towards the treasury left by his master.

Zhao Rong’s arrival at the Imperial Capital was specifically for his master’s treasury, which indicated that there were items within it that Zhao Rong urgently needed; otherwise, he would not have come in person.

Therefore, Yang Xiaotian needed to move all of the items from his master’s treasury before Zhao Rong could get to them.

Through the notes left by his master, Yang Xiaotian quickly located the main gate of the treasury.

The treasure vault’s door was forged from God Iron of Ages.

God Iron of Ages is a substance from the Galaxy of Ages, extremely rare and imbued with the Power of Time, inaccessible unless one possesses the Eternal Divine Body or Divine Divine Martial Arts.

No wonder the experts from the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect had always been unable to open it.

Without any hesitation, Yang Xiaotian quickly approached the Divine Iron gate, activated the power of the Eternal Divine Body, and then placed his hands upon the gate.

The Time power surged mightily, flowing into the gate.

The gate shimmered with the light of Ages.

Soon, the gate opened slowly.

If Yang Xiaotian’s Eternal Divine Body had not reached a minor level of accomplishment, it would have taken at least a day to open the God Iron of Ages gate, but now, with his minor accomplishment, he easily opened it.

The vault was not large.

It was only a few hundred square meters in size.

But as soon as he entered the vault, Yang Xiaotian immediately sensed a familiar aura.

What’s this? @@novelbin@@

He looked towards a corner of the vault.

There, the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone, emanating the Primordial Aura, was placed.

It was actually the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stone!

And there were as many as eight pieces!

Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.

Now, carrying twelve strains of Primordial Heaven Destiny, he needed the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone to consolidate his Divine Sea World and take on the thirteenth strain of Primordial Heaven Destiny. He didn’t anticipate that his master’s treasure vault would contain Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, and not just one but eight Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stones.

Although puzzled about how his master came to possess Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stones, at this moment, he had no time to delve into these questions. Seeing the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stones, he dashed towards them at his fastest speed.

He then collected all of the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stones into the Medicine Cauldron.

By now, he vaguely understood why Zhao Rong had been in such a hurry to claim the items from his master’s treasure vault.

Presumably, Zhao Rong was also after the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stones in the vault.

With his practice of Divine Divine Martial Arts, having the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stones would allow his power to advance by leaps and bounds.

After that, Yang Xiaotian collected all other books and Elixirs from the vault without lingering and left the residence undetected.

Just after Yang Xiaotian left, Zhao Rong arrived at the gate of the vault, only to stand dumbstruck at the sight of the empty vault, after which his killing intent soared, overshadowing the entire Imperial Capital.

“Seal off the entire Imperial Capital!”

“Find this person for me!”

Zhao Rong’s frigid voice echoed across the sky above the Imperial Capital.

The Myriad Tribulations Sword God hesitated, “Sect Hierarch, this is the Supreme Imperial Capital, isn’t this a bit much?”

If it were any other empire’s Imperial Capital, locking it down would be no issue, but the Supreme Empire was ultimately the foremost empire, its strength not much inferior to that of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect.

“Supreme Imperial Capital, so what?” Zhao Rong’s voice remained icy cold, “On the Myriad Swords Continent, who dares to obstruct Zhao Rong shall be killed!”

On the Myriad Swords Continent, who dares to obstruct Zhao Rong shall be killed!

Myriad Tribulations Sword God dared not say more. Before long, countless experts from the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect swarmed out of the residence.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian had returned to the Mu Family’s main residence and began to refine and assimilate the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stones in seclusion.

Only after he had refined all eight Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stones and emerged from the palace did he learn of Zhao Rong’s lockdown of the Imperial Capital and the ensuing conflict with the Supreme Imperial House.

However, inside the Supreme Imperial Capital, there wasn’t just the Supreme Imperial House, also the Grand Medicine Hall and numerous other powerhouse forces like the Mu Family. Thus, Zhao Rong eventually lifted the lockdown.

“What about Zhao Rong?” Yang Xiaotian asked the Titan Giant Demon.

“Zhao Rong has already left,” replied the Titan Giant Demon. “By the way, Sect Leader, there’s news from Sword God Nan Tian—he’s been pursued by the Sun Moon Holy King and Sword God Xuankong from the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect, along with the experts from the Abi Demon Sect and other Sects. He’s now fled into the Black Water Empire.”

“However, Sword God Nan Tian is severely injured and might not hold out much longer. Even if we rush there as quickly as possible, I’m afraid we still won’t be able to save Sword God Nan Tian!”
