Chapter 990: Chapter 990: Dao Divine Artifact
On the third day of Yang Xiaotian’s return, the members of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion set out for Heavenly Dao Mountain.
During these three days, Yang Xiaotian had been cultivating his Divine Bodies and comprehending the Life Arcane.
During this time, Hong Feng, Seventh Princess Huang Yan, and Dongfang Ao had visited, but each of them knew that the battle at Heavenly Dao Mountain was imminent and that Yang Xiaotian needed to cultivate, so after sitting for a while, they left.
The battle at Heavenly Dao Mountain was a major event in the Divine Domain, and with Yang Xiaotian participating, the Heaven and Earth Dominator personally led the group.
However, the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion needed people to stay behind, so Zhao Ming stayed behind to oversee it.
Since the Burying God Master had caused chaos in the Divine Domain, the Heaven and Earth Dominator did not bring many people, adding only about a dozen disciples participating in the Heavenly Dao Mountain battle, totaling just three hundred.
The three of them rode the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion’s airship and sped toward Heavenly Dao Mountain.
On the way, Yang Xiaotian, eager to break through to the fifth level of Divine King, spent almost all his time in closed cultivation in the airship’s secret chamber.
The journey was uneventful.
Just as Yang Xiaotian and the others were headed to Heavenly Dao Mountain, suddenly, an endless Dead Sea surged toward the Desolate Continent at an alarming speed.
The Desolate Continent was one of the largest continents in the Divine Domain, but the boundless Dead Sea, which obscured the sun and eclipsed the stars, inundated one star field after another, and was almost as large as the Desolate Continent itself.
In the center of the Dead Sea, a colossal figure of ash stood erect.
This figure, surrounded by an aura of death and with an indistinguishable face, emitted an endless aura of death that shook the heavens and the earth, like an invisible mountain of death, continuously pressing down toward the Desolate Continent.
On the edges of the Desolate Continent, some empires sensed this terrifying aura of death and were horrified; one figure after another flew out of the cities, staring fearfully at the sea of death that surged through the starry sky.
"It’s the Living Dead!"
"The Living Dead from Burying God Cliff!"
"Retreat, the Living Dead are coming!"
A panic ensued among some empires on the edge of the Desolate Continent; numerous Sect powerhouses flew out of the cities in terror.
"Call for help from Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion and Kaitian Academy!"
"Quick!"
"All armies, heed my command, engage the enemy!"
"Attack!"
As some Sect powerhouses fled, many emperors of the empires urgently ordered their armies to resist.
Countless Empire armies kept pouring out.
However, these Empire armies were quickly overwhelmed by the Dead Sea.
Thus, while en route to Heavenly Dao Mountain, Yang Xiaotian and the others learned of the news that the Burying God Master had descended upon the Desolate Continent.
Learning that the Burying God Master had descended upon the continent, the Army of Living Dead was continuously devouring the armies of the vast empires of the Desolate Continent and steadily advancing towards the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion and Kaitian Academy, sinking Yang Xiaotian’s heart.
The Heaven and Earth Dominator, upon hearing the news, also frowned deeply.
"Master, should we go back?" Yang Xiaotian asked.
The Heaven and Earth Dominator shook his head, "If we go back now, we’ll miss the battle at Heavenly Dao Mountain."
They were already midway; turning back to the Desolate Continent would definitely make them miss the battle at Heavenly Dao Mountain.
"Don’t worry, although the Burying God Master and the Army of Living Dead are strong, they are facing the entire Desolate Continent, and the Desolate Continent is no Demon Ancestor Continent," the Heaven and Earth Dominator assured Yang Xiaotian. "They won’t be able to breach the defenses of the Desolate Continent."
Indeed, a few days later, news came again that the Army of Living Dead had still not breached the defenses of the Desolate Continent.
With the combined efforts of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion, Kaitian Academy, Eternal Divine Kingdom, Dongfang Family, Duobao Commerce Association, and other forces, the Army of Living Dead was gradually expelled from the Desolate Continent.
However, the Army of Living Dead, although driven out of the Desolate Continent, did not retreat but continued to besiege it.
As for the Burying God Master, hidden deep in the depths of the Dead Sea, he did not make a move.
Upon learning that the Army of Living Dead could not break through the defenses of the Desolate Continent, Yang Xiaotian finally relaxed and focused on cultivating inside the spaceship.
In the blink of an eye, several months had passed.
Heavenly Dao Mountain finally appeared on the horizon.
Yang Xiaotian and a group of experts from the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion stood at the bow of the spaceship, only to see at the frontier of the star domain a Divine Mountain immeasurable in its enormity.
The Divine Mountain floated there at the ends of the star domain, its height unknown, vast as a continent.
Xuankong Mountain was built to imitate Heavenly Dao Mountain, but compared to the Heavenly Dao Mountain before them, it was merely a small mound.
Even from a great distance, the visual impact of Heavenly Dao Mountain was still profoundly shocking.
Boundless might of the Heavenly Dao permeated the star domain.
Violent airstreams continuously burst forth from the peak of Heavenly Dao Mountain, causing the surrounding star domain to tremble incessantly.
These violent streams, like rows of thunderous waterfalls smashing down, contained terrifyingly powerful forces.
"This is the earth energy erupting from beneath Heavenly Dao Mountain," the Heaven and Earth Dominator explained to Yang Xiaotian, "These earth energies contain astonishing fiery energy, more powerful than many Divine Flames, beyond the resistance of many Supremes."
Even the Supreme Powerhouses could not withstand it!
Yang Xiaotian and the Disciples participating in the Heavenly Dao Mountain battle were all startled.
A Supreme was indeed only second to a Dominator in prowess.
"We need to enter Heavenly Dao Mountain by passing through these layers of airstreams, so everyone be careful later," the Heaven and Earth Dominator reminded everyone.
As they drew closer to Heavenly Dao Mountain, everyone began to realize how immense the mountain truly was; the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion’s spaceship, already large, seemed like merely a slightly bigger stone in front of Heavenly Dao Mountain.
Furthermore, as they neared Heavenly Dao Mountain, everyone felt increasingly the terrifying nature of the violent airstreams as they bashed the surrounding star domain, roaring continuously, the sound as if constantly exploding beside their ears.
Still tens of thousands of miles away from Heavenly Dao Mountain, the conditions were already such; when they closed in to about twenty thousand miles, the booming sound of violent airstreams seemed to resound directly in their minds.
Some weaker Disciples were pale-faced.
This was with the defense of the spaceship’s Grand Array.
When they were about ten thousand miles away from Heavenly Dao Mountain, they finally reached the layer of violent airstreams.
The experts from the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion all exerted their divine powers to protect the entire spaceship.
Even so, the spaceship trembled violently under the bombardment of violent airstreams, as if struck by giant divine stones of Heavenly Dao.
Inside the spaceship, everyone was shaking and jolting constantly.
Due to the violent airstreams, the speed of the spaceship greatly reduced, but after persisting forward another thousand miles, they finally passed through the layer of airstreams, feeling as if a doomsday sensation had just dissipated.
Strangely, once they had passed through the layer of violent airstreams, the booming exploding sounds suddenly ceased.
The visible Heavenly Dao Mountain had divine power of Heavenly Dao gently flowing on its surface.
Yang Xiaotian gazed fixedly at Heavenly Dao Mountain, sensing an indescribable charm exuding from it.
"This is the Dao’s Charm," Master Ding said, "something only Dao Divine Artifacts possess."
"Dao Divine Artifact?" Yang Xiaotian’s heart shuddered. 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
"Yes, a Dao Divine Artifact!" Master Ding said in a distinctive tone.
As Yang Xiaotian and the others passed through the layer of violent airstreams and flew towards the mid-altitude of Heavenly Dao Mountain, from the direction of the Chaos Domain, a massive spaceship flew in, then burst through the layer of violent airstreams, entering the vicinity of Heavenly Dao Mountain.
The body of this huge spaceship was marked with the words "Invincible Sect."
