Chapter 916: Chapter 916: The Chaos World Demon Isn’t Dead
The Hanhai Boat zigzagged unpredictably, so although Yang Xiaotian could manage riding it himself, inviting others to join him aboard was somewhat embarrassing. Therefore, when several people returned to the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion together, Yang Xiaotian boarded the Eternal Divine Kingdom’s flying ship belonging to the Seventh Princess Huang Yan.
Inside the flying ship, Yang Xiaotian tried cultivating the Divine Destiny Martial Arts he had obtained from the Destiny Dominator. To his relief, this improved version of the Divine Destiny Martial Arts was smoother to practice and much more effective than the previous version.
As he continued, Yang Xiaotian tried to simultaneously cultivate the four techniques—the Chaos Devouring Heaven Technique, the Ancient Beginning Dragon Technique, and the other two. His cultivation speed was somewhat faster than before.
During the journey, Yang Xiaotian consumed the Destiny God Fruit, the Heavenly Dao Holy Water, and the Primordial Destiny Holy Water for cultivation, occasionally studying the unique skills of the Chaos Demon Lord and the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor.
In his free time, he would play the zither or practice the sword with Master Hong Feng and Dongfang Ao.
Whenever Yang Xiaotian played the zither or practiced the sword, the Seventh Princess Huang Yan stood by, watching mesmerized.
However, before the group could return to the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion, news spread from the Desolate Continent that the Ancestor of the Food God Clan had issued a challenge to the Heaven and Earth Dominator, setting the fight forty years later.
It would be right after the battle at Mount Heaven!
And the designated place for the challenge was none other than Severing Heaven Peak.
Upon hearing the news, Desolate Continent was abuzz with excitement.
When Yang Xiaotian and the others learned of this, they were all taken aback. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
"In the past, the Ancestor of the Food God Clan was no match for the Mansion Master. Now, he actually wants to challenge the Mansion Master?" Dongfang Ao frowned.
"It’s said that the Ancestor of the Food God Clan has cultivated the Devouring Divine Body to its utmost limit," Seventh Princess Huang Yan said gravely. "Moreover, he has received the true inheritance of the Chaos World Demon, and his cultivation has greatly advanced!"
"Chaos World Demon!" Hong Feng and Dongfang Ao were both shocked.
The Chaos Demon Lord had two major disciples, one was the Desolate Demon Ancestor, and the other was the Chaos World Demon!
The Chaos World Demon was the junior to the Desolate Demon Ancestor, but their cultivation was not at all inferior to that of the Desolate Demon Ancestor.
Unexpectedly, the Ancestor of the Food God Clan had received the true inheritance of the Chaos World Demon.
Huang Yan nodded with a solemn face, "He has cultivated the Chaos World Devil Technique of the Chaos World Demon, and it’s said that he has reached the realm where all things are demons."
The realm where all things are demons is a very high level within the Chaos World Devil Technique.
"Moreover, there’s a possibility that the Chaos World Demon is still not dead," Huang Yan added.
"The Chaos World Demon isn’t dead?!" Dongfang Ao’s face changed color.
In ancient times, the Chaos World Demon caused chaos among mortals; the Heaven and Earth Dominator, the Ancestor Liang Li of the Kaitian Academy, and the Destiny Dominator jointly suppressed the Chaos World Demon, casting him into the Weakling Water River.
The Weakling Water River, known to bury all gods and Buddhas.
Anyone who fell into the Weakling Water River was doomed.
If the Chaos World Demon was not dead, it would undoubtedly be terrifying news.
"If the Chaos World Demon isn’t dead, then that’s a serious problem," Hong Feng also frowned deeply.
The emergence of the Ancestor of the Food God Clan alone was headache-inducing enough; if the Chaos World Demon was still alive, the Divine Domain was likely to become even more chaotic.
In the past, the Heaven and Earth Dominator, the Ancestor of the Kaitian Academy, and the Destiny Dominator could join forces to suppress the Chaos World Demon, but now the Ancestor Liang Li of the Kaitian Academy and the Destiny Dominator were no longer present.
Their Mansion Master, the Heaven and Earth Dominator, might struggle to cope alone.
"Chaos World Demon," Yang Xiaotian murmured.
He had seen mention of the Desolate Demon Ancestor and the Chaos World Demon in the records he previously obtained from the Chaos Demon Lord.
Since the Ancestor of the Food God Clan had challenged the Heaven and Earth Dominator, and it was highly possible that the Chaos World Demon was still alive, everyone had lost the mood for playing zither or discussing swordplay during their journey.
Yang Xiaotian intensified his cultivation efforts.
It wasn’t long before news spread that the Heaven and Earth Dominator had agreed to the challenge proposed by the Ancestor of the Food God Clan.
The Desolate Continent was abuzz with excitement.
When Yang Xiaotian and the others returned to the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion, all the disciples were discussing the matter.
Some were excited and thrilled, while others were anxious and uneasy.
Yang Xiaotian could clearly sense that the atmosphere of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion had changed somewhat from before.
Coming to the Mission Hall, Yang Xiaotian handed in the Taibai Blood Toad and the Heavenly Secrets Divine Wood, collected his reward of Divine Medicine, and then separated from Master Hong Feng and the others, each returning to their own cave dwelling.
Having returned to his cave, Yang Xiaotian was not in the mood to cultivate but went to his master, the Heaven and Earth Dominator’s cave dwelling instead.
Upon arrival, his senior brother, Sovereign Zhao Ming of the Pale Blood, was also there.
Both of them were delighted to see Yang Xiaotian.
"You did well, lad. You went to Kaitian Academy and won two matches in a row, making them lose face. Let’s see if those poetic types dare to call us uncouth again," Zhao Ming said with a laugh.
Yang Xiaotian replied with a smile, "I just got lucky in defeating them."
The Heaven and Earth Dominator laughed and said, "A win is a win, there’s no such thing as luck or no luck," then he added, "Recently, the Divine Domain has been quite uneasy. You need to be careful when you are out experiencing the world."
This was a reference to the matters concerning the Food God Clan.
"Don’t worry, Master. I will be," Yang Xiaotian nodded, sat down, and then asked, "Master, about your upcoming battle with the Ancestor of the Food God Clan?"
The Heaven and Earth Dominator chuckled and said, "Are you worried that your master will lose?" And then he reassured, "Don’t worry, even if that old Food God has cultivated his Chaos World Devil Technique to the point where everything becomes a demon, I can still defeat him."
He talked about defeat, not killing.
Clearly, he was not confident that he could kill the Ancestor of the Food God Clan.
"But, I’ve heard that the Chaos World Demon might still be alive," Yang Xiaotian expressed his concern.
Hearing about the Chaos World Demon, Zhao Ming’s expression also became grave.
The smile faded from the Heaven and Earth Dominator’s face as he said, "Don’t worry, even if the Chaos World Demon is alive, defeating me will not be an easy task for him."
Despite this reassurance, Yang Xiaotian could still sense his master’s lack of confidence.
Indeed, back then, it took him, Liang Li, and the Destiny Dominator working together to subdue the Chaos World Demon. Now, alone, he had no certainty of success against the Chaos World Demon.
"Behind the Food God Clan, there must be the Chaos World Demon. The Food God Clan and the Divine Shadow Clan have already formed an alliance," Zhao Ming voiced gravely, "And it’s very likely that the Chaos World Demon is the one orchestrating this union."
Yang Xiaotian was shocked, "The Food God Clan and the Divine Shadow Clan have formed an alliance?"
It was hard enough to deal with the Food God Clan alone, but with the Divine Shadow Clan involved, it spelled even more trouble.
"It is said that the Food God Clan is also seeking to ally with the Silver Sky Blood Demon Clan and the Underworld Demon Sect," Zhao Ming continued, "Under normal circumstances, the Silver Sky Blood Demon Clan and the Underworld Demon Sect would never join forces with the Food God Clan."
"But if the Chaos World Demon is brokering the deal, that changes everything."
Yang Xiaotian felt a sinking feeling once more.
If the Food God Clan, the Divine Shadow Clan, the Silver Sky Blood Demon Clan, and the Underworld Demon Sect were to form an alliance, the Divine Domain would be shrouded in blood and chaos.
"Where are Lin Wei and Chen Cangdong?" Yang Xiaotian asked.
"They have accepted a mission and have already gone to the Land of the Demon Ancestor," Zhao Ming replied.
The Heaven and Earth Dominator said to Yang Xiaotian and Zhao Ming with a smile, "There’s no need to worry. We’ll face the water when it comes, and block the soldier when he arrives." He then asked Yang Xiaotian, "How’s your cultivation going recently? If you need any resources, don’t hesitate to ask me or your senior brother."
"Alright, I understand, Master," Yang Xiaotian felt warmth in his heart, then he proceeded to inquire about the matters related to the Sword Domain and the Sword Array.
