Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Battle with Heavenly Monarch Wan
"Your Majesty!"
Bright Heaven Monarch, all of the Tian Family, and the numerous Divine Generals and divine soldiers of the Heavenly Court looked upon the approaching Heavenly Monarch Wan with excitement and knelt in worship.
In the face of the endless kneeling Heavenly Court powerhouses, Heavenly Monarch Wan raised his hand and said, "Please rise."
Everyone felt an immense force lifting them up involuntarily.
Even Sword Heavenly Monarch and the other Heavenly Monarchs could not resist this tremendous force and found themselves standing against their will.
Everyone was inwardly shocked.
To think, the mere lifting gesture of Heavenly Monarch Wan was able to elevate all of the Heavenly Court’s powerhouses, including the endless armies of the Heavenly Court!
Just a simple lifting gesture!
How magnificent the strength must be.
Even Sword Heavenly Monarch with the collective Heavenly Monarchs couldn’t achieve such a feat.
The members of the Tian Family were even more excited by the magnificent strength of Heavenly Monarch Wan.
Heavenly Monarch Wan glanced at his subjects but did not see his disciple; puzzled, he asked the members of the Tian Family, "Where is Ancestor Hao?"
All of the Tian Family members bowed their heads.
Tian Family Patriarch Tian Zhiqing stepped forward, bowed his head cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, some days ago, Yang Xiaotian caused great disturbance in the Heavenly Court. Not only did many Divine Generals perish by his hand, but Long Heavenly Monarch was also killed by him, and even Ancestor Hao ... "
At this point, his face was filled with sorrow, and he stopped, the implication clear without further words.
"What! My brother, he!" Heavenly Monarch Wan’s face instantly paled. Then an overwhelming murderous intent erupted from him, a terrifying divine might burst forth, and Heaven and Earth changed color.
"Yang Xiaotian killed my brother!"
"Yang Xiaotian! You dare kill my brother!"
Heavenly Monarch Wan bellowed with sorrow and rage; his eyes bloodshot.
All felt the boundless murderous intent of Heavenly Monarch Wan and were trembling in their hearts.
"Yang Xiaotian, I will tear you to pieces!" Heavenly Monarch Wan continued to roar, his voice thunderous, shaking Heaven and Earth. Then, with bloodshot eyes, he stared at Sword Heavenly Monarch, "Where is Yang Xiaotian now?"
Sword Heavenly Monarch hesitated.
Heavenly Monarch Wan snorted coldly, and with a sudden palm strike, the void imprinted on Sword Heavenly Monarch, sending him flying away.
Sword Heavenly Monarch coughed up blood.
Seeing this, everyone was even more frightened, knowing that Sword Heavenly Monarch was once regarded as the chief among the Heavenly Monarchs, but now he couldn’t resist even slightly against Heavenly Monarch Wan.
At that moment, Tian Zhiqing stepped forward cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, some days ago, Yang Xiaotian entered the Gate of Primordial Universe and came into conflict with the Bright Continent. He killed the Bright Temple Master. However, after the Gate of Primordial Universe event ended, he then disappeared."
"I suspect that he must be in some place undergoing secret cultivation."
Heavenly Monarch Wan was surprised, "He killed the Bright Temple Master?"
"Yes," Tian Zhiqing said. "Your Majesty, you might not be aware, but Yang Xiaotian has already mastered the Demon God Great Formation. He is now the Dark Lord, and his power has reached an incredibly terrifying level, having killed the Ancient Demon God, Yama King of Nether Hell, and the Undying Demon Emperor!"
Heavenly Monarch Wan had been in secluded meditation, focusing all his efforts on breaking through to the God-Lord Realm, so he was unaware that Yang Xiaotian had become the Dark Lord.
"What realm is he in now?" Heavenly Monarch Wan asked in a deep voice.
"He is still at the late pinnacle of the Divine Spirit’s tenth layer," Tian Zhiqing quickly added. "However, his Eternal Divine Body and Primordial Heaven Destiny God Body have been cultivated to the fourteenth layer."
Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian had not even broken through to the Heavenly God Realm yet, a great relief washed over Heavenly Monarch Wan. As long as Yang Xiaotian had not broken through to the Heavenly God Realm, he was confident that he could kill Yang Xiaotian.
"Your Majesty, Yang Xiaotian previously stormed into the Heavenly Court to raid the prison, abducting Netherworld Grandmaster, Ren Xiaoxue, and the Peng Family members," Tian Zhiqing reported. "It was because of them that Long Heavenly Monarch and Ancestor Hao died. They are now in the main hall of the Sword God Hall. Should we kill them first before we move on to Yang Xiaotian?"
Upon hearing this, Heavenly Monarch Wan’s eyes turned cold, and then he ordered Sword Heavenly Monarch, Heavenly Monarch Yan, and Heavenly Monarch Xiao, "Take the grand army to the main hall of the Sword God Hall now and kill them!"
"Bring the heads of Ren Xiaoxue and the Peng Family members back to me!"
At this, he paused, "If I do not see their heads, then you will bring me yours instead!"
Heavenly Monarch Wan spoke in an undeniable tone.
The faces of the three Heavenly Monarchs turned grim. Over the years, they had not been very obedient to Heavenly Monarch Wan’s commands. Clearly, he wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate them.
But now, having achieved the realm of Divine Master, they could not help but bow their heads in submission to Heavenly Monarch Wan’s imposing presence.
After his breakthrough to the fourteenth level of the Primordial Universe Divine Body, Yang Xiaotian had not come out of seclusion. Instead, he continued to consume the Destiny God Fruit and cultivate. With some days remaining before his battle with Heavenly Monarch Wan, he continued to enhance his strength.
Moreover, he still could not sense the barrier to the Heavenly God Realm, so he had yet to reach the limit of the late peak of the Divine Spirit’s tenth realm.
Before breaking through to the Heavenly God Realm, he could still make progress.
Three days before his battle with Heavenly Monarch Wan, he finally stopped cultivating, emerged from the cave, and, along with the Kui Ox and Yuan Wei, rushed toward Mount Ascension.
On their way, Yang Xiaotian saw that Chen Yi, Heavenly Scorpion, and the others looked troubled. He asked what was wrong and only then did he learn that, in the past few days, Heavenly Monarch Wan had ordered Sword Heavenly Monarch and two other great monarchs to lead the grand army of the Heavenly Court in an assault on the Sword God Hall to capture Ren Xiaoxue and the Peng Family members.
Although Ren Xiaoxue and the Peng Family members ultimately were escorted away, many Sword Gods of the Sword God Hall died in the battle, including three of the top ten Sword Gods.
Furthermore, the heads of the slain Sword Gods had been chopped off by Heavenly Monarch Wan and hung above the gates of Heavenly Emperor City.
Yang Xiaotian’s eyes grew cold: "Heavenly Monarch Wan!"
"Young Master, Heavenly Monarch Wan has broken through to the God-Lord Realm. You must be careful in the showdown three days from now," Heavenly Scorpion said.
Thinking of the various legends associated with the Divine Masters, his worry grew.
Kui Ox’s expression also turned solemn: "It is said that after breaking through to the God-Lord Realm, one can reverse space-time and control heaven and earth, with divine power so profound it’s unimaginable!"
A Divine Master, huh?
Yang Xiaotian looked towards Mount Ascension, his fighting spirit blazing intensely.
The Abyssal Spaceship, under his full control, continued to close in on Mount Ascension rapidly.
At this moment, Mount Ascension was already surrounded by countless powerhouses from Zhongtian Continent and other continents. Many were Supreme Sword Gods and Formation Gods with formidable reputations since ancient times.
Mount Ascension is a famous Divine Mountain on Zhongtian Continent, left over from the Desolate Era. It was said that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor once practiced swordsmanship on this mountain for many years.
Formation God Wutian and many powerful fighters from Qiankun City were also among the crowd.
"Father, who do you think has a greater chance of victory in the battle between His Majesty and Heavenly Monarch Wan?" Chen Yi asked.
Formation God Wutian shook his head without speaking, heavyhearted after learning of Heavenly Monarch Wan’s breakthrough to Divine Master.
Currently, some among the various powerhouses from all over the continents thought that Yang Xiaotian and Heavenly Monarch Wan would both be badly injured, but others were certain that Yang Xiaotian was destined to lose!
After all, a Divine Master was too powerful, consistently revered in the Martial Soul World as an invincible being, truly impossible to defeat.
Though he was the number one Formation God of the Dark Continent, a Divine Master could crush him to death with just a finger.
Whether their emperor could win this battle, he had no confidence at all.
As everyone eagerly anticipated, the day of the decisive battle finally arrived.
