Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 618: Chapter 618 Do You Really Think You Are Strong?

When the Heavenly Court’s general announced, “On stage nine, Yang Xiaotian is the victor,” Yang Xiaotian stepped down from the platform.

Watching Yang Xiaotian descend from the platform, members of the Zhao Family and those from the Destiny Temple all stared at him with murderous intent.

However, although the Zhao Family and the people from the Destiny Temple wished they could chop Yang Xiaotian to death right there, they still forcefully suppressed the killing intent in their hearts.

It was only after a long while that disciples began to emerge victorious on the other stages.

Half a day later, the contests on the hundred thousand stages finally came to an end.

One million empires, ten million disciples came to the Heavenly Court to partake in the battle for divine ascension, yet, after the first round of the first fight, only a hundred thousand remained.

...

Furthermore, many of the victorious disciples were walking down from the platform drenched in blood, some even struggling to walk.

Out of the hundred thousand disciples, only Yang Xiaotian, Tian Junheng, Huang Hao, Wang Yu, and Mo Siyuan won their matches with ease; the rest were more or less injured.

Sword Heavenly Monarch scanned the victorious disciples with a calm face, instructing all the winners to come forward and draw lots for the second match.

Many severely injured disciples, upon hearing that the second match was to start immediately, almost collapsed on the spot.

However, even those with severe injuries had no choice but to join Yang Xiaotian and the others in drawing lots.

This time, Yang Xiaotian drew stage one.

Yang Xiaotian looked around and noticed that Huang Hao from the Desolate Kirin Divine Clan had also drawn the number one.

Not only Huang Hao but also Crown Prince Wang Yu from the Gods Empire drew the number one.

Moreover, Sword Heavenly Monarch’s disciple Liu Shucan was also with him on stage one.

Whether it be Huang Hao, Wang Yu, or even Liu Shucan, their eyebrows furrowed upon realizing they would be sharing a stage with Yang Xiaotian.

The crowd on the scene was abuzz upon seeing that Yang Xiaotian would be facing off against Huang Hao and Wang Yu in the second match.

Huang Hao was one of the hottest contenders for the championship in this divine ascension battle.

And Wang Yu, as the Crown Prince of the Gods Empire, with talents and abilities not inferior to those of Huang Hao, was also one of the favorites to win the championship.

Yuan Wei, upon seeing that Yang Xiaotian was going to fight against Huang Hao and Wang Yu in the second match, couldn’t help but laugh and say, “This is going to be an interesting fight.”

The Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor also laughed, “What do you all think, who will win this next fight?”

The crowd had witnessed Yang Xiaotian’s strength, but judging from the display of power by Huang Hao and Wang Yu in the first round, both were certainly not weaker than Yang Xiaotian.

Qi Tian Medicine God shook his head with a smile, “Hard to say! Young Xiaotian is in for a tough battle.”

Yang Xiaotian’s second match was going to be ten times harder than the first one.

When Sword Heavenly Monarch saw his own disciple draw the same stage as Yang Xiaotian, Huang Hao, and Wang Yu, he couldn’t help but feel speechless.

After everyone had drawn their lots, Sword Heavenly Monarch instructed them to enter the platform.

Yang Xiaotian, Huang Hao, Wang Yu, Liu Shucan, and ten others stepped into the first stage.

Once all the disciples had entered, Sword Heavenly Monarch shouted, “Begin the match!”

As Sword Heavenly Monarch’s words fell, all the disciples locked onto their counterparts on the stage, yet, for a moment, no one made a move.

Huang Hao and Wang Yu also did not rush to attack. Huang Hao addressed Wang Yu, Liu Shucan, and the others, “Gentlemen, let’s join forces and deal with Yang Xiaotian first, shall we?”

Wang Yu and the other disciples were clearly tempted.

Huang Hao continued, “Yang Xiaotian, a mere Saint Realm fighter, joining the battle for divine ascension is nothing but a joke.” Then he added, “A Saint Realm, what right does he have to stand with us on this platform?”

Wang Yu glanced at the others before laughing, “I agree with Brother Huang Hao’s suggestion, let’s get rid of Yang Xiaotian first; indeed, a Saint Realm joining the battle for divine ascension is truly laughable.”

At that moment, a Divine Son from the Sect of the Gods Empire spoke up, “I am willing to join forces with Crown Prince Wang Yu.”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian scoffed coldly and, without rushing to make a move, swept a gaze over the other disciples, “Is there anyone else who wants to join forces with Huang Hao, Wang Yu?”

The faces of the other few changed with uncertainty.

“I am willing to join hands with Crown Prince Wang Yu,” the Crown Prince of Guiyuan Empire said afterward.

“Who else?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

“I, too, am willing to join hands with Crown Prince Wang Yu,” another Divine Son of a super clan declared.

As the Gods Empire was the first empire of Zhongtian Continent, and Wang Yu was its Crown Prince, destined to take over the Gods Empire, the other disciples on stage, after weighing their options, were all willing to join forces with Wang Yu.

In the end, only Liu Shucan had yet to make a choice.

The other six people had all moved to stand by Wang Yu’s side.

Huang Hao’s expression darkened upon seeing the others rally to Wang Yu, but he didn’t show it.

The Zhao Family Patriarch, Zhao Ji, seeing Huang Hao, Wang Yu, and the others planning to join forces to eliminate Yang Xiaotian, scoffed coldly, “Yang Xiaotian really thinks he, a mere Saint Realm, can make it into the second round? What a joke!”

“I heard that several ancestors from the Gods Empire died at the hands of Divine Master Hong Feng!” Zhao Family Ancestor Zhao Liang sneered, “How could Crown Prince Wang Yu possibly let go of Yang Xiaotian!”

“Yang Xiaotian is sure to die any moment now!”

Qi Tian Medicine God saw Huang Hao, Wang Yu, and the others planning to eliminate Yang Xiaotian first and chuckled as he shook his head.

“This little guy is so calm, he must have some strength hidden,” Yuan Wei said, his gaze on Yang Xiaotian.

The Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor also watched Yang Xiaotian, curious as to what other methods he had hidden up his sleeve.

Logically, the Fifteen Mixed Primordial Life Destinies and the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Body should be Yang Xiaotian’s strongest methods.

Yet, judging by Yang Xiaotian’s demeanor, it seemed he had even more powerful methods concealed.

Seeing that all the others had chosen to stand by Wang Yu, Yang Xiaotian’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “Go ahead and make your move.”

Wang Yu and Huang Hao exchanged looks, then walked towards Yang Xiaotian, and the remaining six also approached.

The eight of them surrounded Yang Xiaotian in a tight circle.

“Yang Xiaotian, do you really think you are so strong?” Huang Hao sneered at Yang Xiaotian, “Let me tell you, even by myself, I can easily annihilate you,” saying this, divine power surged throughout Huang Hao’s body.

One after another, his Divine Veins awoke.

The tremendous power of the Divine Veins soared to the heavens.

“One hundred and twenty Divine Veins!”

When Huang Hao activated the power of all his Divine Veins, everyone gasped in shock, their expressions drastically changing.

Even the Swords Heavenly Monarch, the ten great Heavenly Monarchs, and many Divine Generals of the Heavenly Court were astounded.

Previously, Zhao Wan and Xu Chao had already surprised everyone by unlocking sixty Divine Veins, but Huang Hao had unlocked an astonishing one hundred and twenty!

It was truly inconceivable.

Wang Yu was also shocked; he had not expected Huang Hao’s talent to be so terrifying as to unlock one hundred and twenty Divine Veins.

He, possessing the bloodlines of five Ancient god clans and nurtured with all the resources of the Gods Empire, had not been able to unlock one hundred and twenty Divine Veins.

He knew all too well the difficulty of unlocking one hundred and twenty Divine Veins.

Immediately after, the power of Huang Hao’s bloodlines roared as two massive shadows of the Qilin emerged behind him.

Seeing those two massive Qilin shadows, Heavenly Monarch Yan exclaimed in surprise, “The Kirin Ancestor and the Golden Jade Qilin?”

The two Qilin bloodlines in Huang Hao, one was indeed that of the Kirin Ancestor, and the other was that of the Kirin Clan’s mutant, the Golden Jade Qilin.

In the Desolate Era, the Kirin Clan once had a Golden Jade Qilin whose combat strength was so mighty it nearly rivaled that of the Kirin Ancestor and was an invincible presence sweeping across all rivals.

Huang Hao’s two Qilin bloodlines were undoubtedly the two strongest bloodlines of the Kirin Clan!
