Chapter 971: Chapter 971 Heavenly Dragon Musical Note Appears in the World
"The Hanhai Boat is an ancestral artifact of ours, how can we let him monopolize it!" Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian might not return it, Wei Sheng’s eyes filled with murderous intent, "Even if the Heaven and Earth Dominator himself intervenes, there is no room for negotiation!"
"When the time comes, if he persists in not returning it, then our Heaven and Earth Academy will have no choice but to declare war!"
Declare war!
Wei Sheng was brimming with a desire to kill.
The night was deep and silent.
It wasn’t until late into the night that the Heaven and Earth Dominator and Zhao Ming finally left Yang Xiaotian’s cave dwelling.
Both of them knew that there was a second challenge tomorrow, so they didn’t dare to linger too long in Yang Xiaotian’s cave dwelling.
After the Heaven and Earth Dominator and Zhao Ming had departed, Yang Xiaotian consumed the four Divine Fruits and sat cross-legged on the Chaos Spirit Stone to cultivate.
Before, he had cultivated using Lower-grade Chaos Spirit Stones, but now, he was using Middle-grade Chaos Spirit Stones.
The Middle-grade Chaos Spirit Stone was what he and his Master, Heaven and Earth Dominator, had requested.
The Heaven and Earth Dominator directly gave him an entire piece.
As dawn broke the next day, Yang Xiaotian finally ceased his cultivation.
The Chaos Spiritual Energy from the Middle-grade Chaos Spirit Stone was so pure that one night’s cultivation was comparable to the many days of cultivation Yang Xiaotian had done before.
Noticing the brightening sky, Yang Xiaotian got up, left the cave dwelling, and flew toward Desolate City Square.
The Godslayer King, Red-Haired Old Demon, and their six companions had already been waiting in the square, and when they saw Yang Xiaotian approaching, they hurried over to greet him.
"Young Master."
The group greeted him respectfully.
Yang Xiaotian nodded to them and glanced over the crowd in the square; nearly all the powers were present, with experts from Kaitian Academy, Heavenly Emperor Palace, Eternal Divine Kingdom, and Sword Nation having arrived.
However, the Son of Chaos and the high-ranking experts from the four clans of the Food God Clan had not arrived yet.
Nor had the Child of Burying God.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s arrival, the people from Kaitian Academy naturally had unfriendly looks in their eyes; the thought that their ancestor’s Hanhai Boat was in Yang Xiaotian’s possession filled them with feelings of indignant frustration, wishing they could go over immediately and demand the Hanhai Boat from Yang Xiaotian.
However, since the Kaitian Dominator had not yet arrived, the crowd, despite their grievances and annoyance, had to hold back for the time being.
In contrast to Kaitian Academy’s fiery glares, the people of the Heavenly Emperor Palace looked upon Yang Xiaotian with much friendlier eyes today.
Li Feng, standing behind Heavenly Emperor Hanmeng, regarded Yang Xiaotian with a mix of fear, confusion, and discontent.
He had been reprimanded severely by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor after returning home the day before.
Even his Master, Heavenly Emperor Hanmeng, had been lectured by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.
Thus, Heavenly Emperor Hanmeng looked at Yang Xiaotian with a sense of bitter resentment.
Princess Beihan stood quietly by Bei Zhifan’s side, both of them silently watching Yang Xiaotian.
"The Son of Chaos has arrived!" At that moment, someone in the crowd exclaimed.
The crowd turned to look.
They saw the Son of Chaos leading a group of experts from the Food God Clan and Silver Sky Blood Demon Clan, tearing through the sky to arrive.
The All-Evil Eyes on the Son of Chaos’s forehead were shimmering with a ghostly green light, more malevolent and eerie than the day before, sending chills down one’s spine.
The Son of Chaos, like an All-Evil Demon, walked at the forefront, exuding an aura of wickedness. Even many of the Sect experts stronger than the Son of Chaos felt a creeping dread upon seeing him at this moment.
Not long after the Son of Chaos’s arrival, the Child of Burying God, accompanied by Daojue Bone Demon, Nether Void Demon Venerable, and others, also arrived.
The Child of Burying God carried an even more intense aura of the Desolate Beast than yesterday.
Upon his arrival, he stared at Yang Xiaotian, with bloodthirsty savagery flickering in his eyes.
Following the Son of Chaos and the Child of Burying God, the crowd became tremblingly apprehensive.
Yang Xiaotian ignored the vicious gazes of the Son of Chaos and the Child of Burying God, and chatted leisurely with Master Hong Feng and the Seventh Princess, waiting for the second stage to begin.
Sometime later, as the time approached, Zhao Ming began announcing the rules for the second stage.
The rules for the second stage were similar to the first, forbidding the use of Divine Artifacts beyond the Divine Emperor Realm during the competition.
However, while the first stage involved breaking through Xuankong Mountain, the second stage was arena combat.
At the same time, Zhao Ming mentioned the rewards for the top ten in this battle of the Divine Domain.
Owing to the significance of this battle at Mount Heavenly Dao, the rewards for the top ten of this Divine Domain battle were to be doubled compared to previous times.
In previous Divine Domain battles, the first place was awarded three thirty-million-year Divine Medicines; this time, doubled, it would be six!
The second place, doubled, would receive four thirty-million-year Divine Medicines.
The third place would receive two, doubled.
Hearing that the rewards for the top ten in this Divine Domain battle were doubled, even Yang Xiaotian was excited.
If he won the first place in this Divine Domain battle, he would obtain seven thirty-million-year Divine Medicines. Combined with the two he already possessed, that would make nine!
Plus two forty-million-year and three twenty-million-year Divine Medicines.
Once he broke through to the Divine King Realm, his strength would surge dramatically.
After Zhao Ming dictated the contest rules, he invited everyone to draw lots to determine their opponents.
Yang Xiaotian and the likes of the Child of Burying God and the Son of Chaos stepped forward to draw.
In the first round, Yang Xiaotian drew number four, and coincidentally, his opponent from Kaitian Academy was Young Master Jiusheng.
When everyone saw that Yang Xiaotian’s first-round opponent was Young Master Jiusheng, they were first stunned and then abuzz with excitement.
Originally, Young Master Jiusheng was a hot favorite to rank in the top ten of this Divine Domain battle, but upon seeing his first opponent was Yang Xiaotian, his face turned sour.
After the Xuankong Mountain segment, the last three people anyone wanted to face in the second stage were the Child of Burying God, the Son of Chaos, and Yang Xiaotian.
Upon seeing Young Master Jiusheng paired with Yang Xiaotian, Wei Sheng’s expression also darkened. He said to Young Master Jiusheng, "Yang Xiaotian’s Sword Domain may be astonishing, but you have made significant progress in the Zither Dao over the years, plus with our Kaitian Academy’s Kaitian Chapter under your belt, you’re not without hope of defeating him."
Young Master Jiusheng gave a bitter smile, nodded, took a deep breath, and with a leap, ascended to the fourth arena.
Yang Xiaotian also soared up and landed on the fourth arena.
Young Master Jiusheng looked at Yang Xiaotian with a complex expression, strived to calm his mind, and said, "Young Mansion Master, during our last encounter at Kaitian Academy, Shu Peng was defeated by your hand. Over the years, I have diligently studied the Zither Dao and have made some achievements. Today, I would like to learn about the Zither Dao from the Young Mansion Master once more."
Being at the early stage of the Divine Emperor Third Layer, he knew that if it came to the Sword Dao, he stood no chance against Yang Xiaotian, which was why he wished to contest in the Zither Dao.
Having mastered Kaitian Academy’s Kaitian Chapter, even though Yang Xiaotian had entered the State of No Zither, he still believed there was a small chance of winning.
Hearing Young Master Jiusheng’s challenge in zither, Yang Xiaotian shook his head, "Even if we compete in playing the zither, you are no match for me."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Jiusheng’s face flushed with indignation, fury simmering in his heart, "Yang Xiaotian, do you really believe your zither skills are invincible just because you’ve entered the State of No Zither?"
"Moreover, Yang Xiaotian, the Hanhai Boat is an heirloom of our Ancestors. You entered our Kaitian Academy and stole our Ancestor’s Hanhai Boat, your actions are no different from a thief’s!"
The surrounding Sect Disciples exchanged glances. Yang Xiaotian had actually stolen the Hanhai Boat from Kaitian Academy?
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian’s palm suddenly swept through the void, and within it, countless Heavenly Dragon Musical Notes emerged, condensing into several Heavenly Dragons.
The Heavenly Dragons’ roar resonated through Heaven and Earth, echoing throughout the world.
