Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 614: Chapter 614: No need to fight, you can all make a move together

Someone has opened the Divine Dragon Hall, a matter that naturally caught the attention of the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor.

“I have heard of this as well,” said the First Sword God Yuan Wei. “I didn’t expect that, after three million years, someone would open the Divine Dragon Hall again, it’s just that we don’t know who this person is.”

There is an extremely ancient legend regarding the Divine Dragon Hall.

The legend says that if someone can open the Divine Dragon Hall, this person will be invincible in the world.

Whether it was the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, the Great Dragon Venerable, or his ancestral master the Immortal Sword God, all had confirmed this point.

However, Qi Tian Medicine God remembered that a few days ago, Yang Xiaotian had inquired about the Divine Dragon Hall from him.

The day after Yang Xiaotian inquired about the Divine Dragon Hall, the news that someone had opened it came out, which was too much of a coincidence.

Moreover, for the past few months, Yang Xiaotian had not been at the Pharmacist Hall.

This made him unable to help but harbor suspicions.

Seeing Qi Tian Medicine God silent, the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor asked, “Qitian, do you think the person who opened the Divine Dragon Hall this time could be a strong member of the Long Clan?”

Although Qi Tian Medicine God is the foremost Medicine God of the Pharmacist Hall, the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor has lived for nearly nine million years, so in front of the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor, both Qi Tian Medicine God and Yuan Wei are juniors.

Qi Tian Medicine God hesitated for a moment before saying, “Not to conceal it from Your Majesty, some days ago, Yang Xiaotian inquired with me about the Divine Dragon Hall.”

Both the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor and Yuan Wei were astonished.

Yuan Wei laughed and said, “Old Qi, you can’t possibly think that the person who opened the Divine Dragon Hall is Yang Xiaotian, can you?”

He clearly did not believe it.

Qi Tian Medicine God pondered and said, “After Yang Xiaotian inquired with me about the Divine Dragon Hall, the next day news emerged that someone opened it.”

“That still doesn’t prove anything,” Yuan Wei shook his head.

“When I heard that someone had opened the Divine Dragon Hall, I went to find Yang Xiaotian, but his subordinate Peng Long said he was away on business,” continued Qi Tian Medicine God. “Moreover, these past few months, Yang Xiaotian has not returned to the Pharmacist Hall.”

Yuan Wei still shook his head, saying, “Even so, that can’t prove anything.”

Indeed, these were all just conjectures by Qi Tian Medicine God.

The gaze of the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor fell upon Yang Xiaotian, saying, “If it was really this young fellow who opened it, then I’m curious to know what special kind of Long Clan Martial Soul he has.”

All three knew that if it were indeed Yang Xiaotian who had opened it, then Yang Xiaotian’s Martial Soul must certainly be astonishing.

“Perhaps, in the Seal God battle to come, we will be able to see his Martial Soul and know whether it was him,” Yuan Wei said.

The one presiding over the Seal God battle was none other than Sword Heavenly Monarch, the leader of the ten great Heavenly Monarchs.

Sword Heavenly Monarch scanned the four corners of the square and said, “This Seal God battle will be divided into three rounds of competition.”

“The first round will be an arena competition, the first match will have one hundred people on the platform, with only one winner, the second match will have ten people on the platform, with one winner.”

When they heard that the first round would have one hundred people competing on the same platform and only one could win, many disciples who had passed the empire’s preliminary selection changed their expressions.

Every disciple who had passed the empire’s preliminary selection was formidable in strength. To stand out among one hundred people would be an exceedingly difficult challenge.

As for the subsequent two rounds, Sword Heavenly Monarch did not reveal the manner of competition.

Now, out of millions of empires and tens of millions of disciples, only ten thousand will advance to the second round after the first.

The second round will eliminate nine thousand nine hundred people, leaving only one hundred to enter the third round.

Out of those one hundred people in the third round, only one will eventually become the successor of the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor.

“Now, everyone start stepping forward to draw lots,” Sword Heavenly Monarch said aloud.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian, alongside Tian Junheng, Huang Hao, and others, stepped forward to draw their lots.

“Nine.” The number yang Xiaotian drew was nine, meaning that he would be competing in the ninth arena sector.

Yang Xiaotian swept his gaze around and found that Tian Junheng, Huang Hao, and several others were not in the same area as him. However, Zhao Wan from the Zhao Family had also drawn number nine.

It wasn’t just Zhao Wan, Xu Chao from the Destiny Temple had also drawn number nine.

At this moment, Zhao Wan from the Zhao Family, Xu Chao from the Destiny Temple saw that Yang Xiaotian had drawn number nine as well. Seeing that they would encounter Yang Xiaotian in the first round, both men sneered.

Zhao Family Patriarch Zhao Ji spoke in a deep voice, “Kill him!”

Zhao Wan nodded, “Rest assured, Patriarch.”

However, Destiny Temple Master He Jian said to Xu Chao, “Get the Destiny God Tree.”

Killing Yang Xiaotian was not important to them.

What they wanted was Yang Xiaotian’s Destiny God Tree.

“Master, rest assured.” Xu Chao said respectfully.

After a while, Sword Heavenly Monarch saw that everyone had finished drawing lots and asked everyone to enter the arena.

Yang Xiaotian and all the disciples who had drawn number nine made their way to the number nine area.

After entering the number nine area, Yang Xiaotian discovered that Wang Yang from the Linyuan Empire was also in the ninth area with him.

Aside from Zhao Wan and Xu Chao, another individual caught Yang Xiaotian’s attention, the Divine Son from the Great Void Divine Clan, Lv Yuan.

Lv Yuan was the most dazzling disciple in the Empire’s preliminary selection in Shenzhou, naturally endowed with the Immeasurable Divine Body, Mahayana Divine Body, having cultivated the Great Void Divine Canon to the thirteenth level, possessing fourteen nine-layer Heavenly Fate, fourteen nine-layer Holy Fruits, and nine Supreme Sword Intents.

According to the information Peng Long gave him, this Lv Yuan was at the mid-phase of Triple Divine Spirit, but the other party had likely concealed his true strength, which was probably more than three layers of Divine Spirit.

All the disciples who entered the ninth area changed their expression upon seeing Zhao Wan and Xu Chao.

After all, both Zhao Wan and Xu Chao were strong contenders for the top ten. No one wanted to be in the same area as such existences.

Wang Yang from the Sword God Hall, seeing himself facing Yang Xiaotian in the first match, gave a wry smile.

Ever since he had taken those one hundred thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones from Yang Xiaotian, he had really experienced nothing but bad luck.

“Divine Protector Alchemist, we meet again,” Wang Yang managed a smile towards Yang Xiaotian, despite his apprehension.

Now, he dared not address Yang Xiaotian as ‘brother’ anymore.

Yang Xiaotian, upon seeing Wang Yang, also smiled, “Hmm, we meet again.”

After all disciples entered their respective areas, Sword Heavenly Monarch announced, “Begin the competition.”

As soon as Sword Heavenly Monarch’s words fell, there was a surge of Sword Qi into the sky, Divine Power roared, blade light shattered through. Many disciples quickly made their moves against their fellow disciples.

Many disciples on the number nine platform also made their moves swiftly.

However, no one dared to take action against Zhao Wan and Xu Chao.

Even though no one made a move against Yang Xiaotian, three people simultaneously locked their sights on him.

These three were all formidable, each being early-stage experts of Triple Divine Spirit, and furthermore, all three hailed from the Thunder Blade Divine Sect.

Just as the three were about to join forces against Yang Xiaotian, Zhao Wan from the Zhao Family approached Yang Xiaotian, saying, “Yang Xiaotian is mine. Anyone who dares to intervene, dies!”

Upon hearing this, the countenances of the trio from the Thunder Blade Divine Sect changed.

Xu Chao from the Destiny Temple sneered upon hearing this, “Yang Xiaotian is yours, Zhao Wan? What a joke. Yang Xiaotian belongs to our Destiny Temple! Whoever dares to intervene, don’t blame me for being rude!”

The crowd at the number nine platform saw Zhao Wan and Xu Chao both vying to make a move against Yang Xiaotian, and their expressions turned peculiar.

Everyone looked at Yang Xiaotian, their gaze filled with pity.

No one wanted to come across Zhao Wan and Xu Chao, yet both of them had set their sights on Yang Xiaotian.

“No need to fight over me. You both might as well attack together,” Yang Xiaotian said indifferently upon seeing Zhao Wan and the other vying for him, then he calmly walked toward the two.
