Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 449: Chapter 449 Just Give It Your All

Yang Xiaotian and Princess Wan Ning flew through the sky, chatting leisurely as they made their way to the Myriad Gods Imperial Palace.

Princess Wan Ning occasionally let out soft laughter.

The maids following at a distance were surprised to see their princess behaving this way; she was usually proud and cold, never before so close with a man.

Moreover, today might well be the day she has laughed the most.

They had never seen their princess laugh so heartily before.

At that moment, the gates of the Imperial Capital were guarded by a large contingent of imperial powerhouses.

This large group of imperial elites was there by command of their Great Emperor, to welcome the arrival of Divine Yang from the Emperor Sanqian.

Everyone was looking forward with eager anticipation.

As all eyes were straining into the distance, several figures appeared on the horizon.

“Here they come.” Upon sighting Yang Xiaotian and Wan Ning, the imperial guards stationed at the gates were jolted into action, hastily making themselves presentable.

“We’ve seen Divine Yang from the Emperor Sanqian!”

“We’ve seen Your Highness Princess.”

As the guards caught sight of Yang Xiaotian and Wan Ning from afar, they all bowed and called out loudly. Their voices carried for miles, causing the surrounding dust to rise into the air.

“It’s the imperial escorts sent by Father to welcome you, Junior Brother,” Wan Ning said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile.

Yang Xiaotian looked at the throng of imperial experts and said with a smile, “Your father is too courteous.”

“He ought to be,” Wan Ning replied with a smile, and then she and Yang Xiaotian arrived at the city gates of the Imperial Capital, where they were escorted by a crowd of imperial elites into the city.

Inside the Imperial Capital, prosperity abounded.

A few days earlier, the streets of Myriad Gods Imperial City had been empty after the Fan Family was destroyed by the Undying Death God, but today they bustled with life, busy with the traffic of carts and horses.

On both sides of the streets, countless sect and family disciples stopped to watch.

“Is that young man Divine Yang from the Emperor Sanqian?!”

“Yes, that’s him, Divine Yang who possesses two Divine Elixir Golden Cores and has opened one thousand and ninety-five acupoints, cultivating the Eternal Divine Body!”

“Great Emperor Myriad Gods has dispatched thousands of experts to welcome him to the imperial banquet.”

Many of the watching sect and family disciples were thrilled, looking at Yang Xiaotian with admiration in their eyes.

Many people even bowed excitedly to Yang Xiaotian.

Thus, as Yang Xiaotian passed by, numerous sects and family disciples bowed to him, and even many Martial Emperor Realm experts bowed to him as well.

This scene left many imperial elites in awe.

Seeing even Martial Emperor Realm experts bowing to Yang Xiaotian of their own volition revealed the status he had in the hearts of the warriors of the Myriad Gods Empire.

While receiving bows from the disciples of various sects and families along the way, Yang Xiaotian and Wan Ning made their way to the Imperial Palace.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the grand entrance of the Imperial Palace, there were even more imperial elites who had come to welcome Yang Xiaotian.

Seeing so many powerhouses dispatched by Great Emperor Myriad Gods to welcome him made Yang Xiaotian feel a bit uncomfortable.

Surrounded by a throng of imperial powerhouses, Yang Xiaotian and Wan Ning entered the Myriad Gods Imperial Palace.

The Myriad Gods Empire truly lived up to its reputation as the number one empire on the Azure God Continent, with the Imperial Palace being extremely grand and majestic, its buildings unparalleled in splendor.

After Yang Xiaotian and Wan Ning entered the Imperial Palace, some palace maids and disciples peeked out from afar, obviously curious about Yang Xiaotian and stealthily watching from a distance.

Yang Xiaotian, Wan Ning, and the others made their way toward the banquet plaza, but before they arrived, a little girl about seven or eight years old, with two long braids, came running over. Her eyes were bright, and in a tender voice she asked Wan Ning, “Second Sister, is he Divine Yang from the Emperor Sanqian?”

Princess Wan Ning looked affectionately at the little girl and smiled, “Yes, he’s your admired Brother Xiaotian.” Then she turned to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, “This is my little sister Wan Jing. She admires you greatly and even claims that one day she will defeat you.”

Yang Xiaotian looked at the little girl before him and smiled, “Is that so? Defeat me?”

“Mhm, Father says you have the best talent in the Azure God Continent right now. These days he has been praising you non-stop, so, I want to defeat you and become the one with the best talent in the Azure God Continent,” the little girl said with determination in her eyes.

Yang Xiaotian chuckled. This little girl sure had big ambitions.

“Okay, then I will wait for you to challenge me,” Yang Xiaotian said with a smile. “Just don’t cry if you lose when the time comes.”

“I won’t cry. Don’t you cry if you lose,” the little girl retorted with a humph.

Everyone chuckled.

At the feast in the square, Great Emperor Wan Guangfeng of the Myriad Gods Empire had been eagerly waiting. Hearing that Yang Xiaotian was about to arrive, he said to the many powerhouses present with a smile, “Xiaotian will be here soon, gentlemen. How about we all go and meet this young hero together?”

The Azure God Mansion Ancestor Zhong Hui laughed and said, “Good. Yang Xiaotian is highly regarded by Lord Xi Long, and I too am eager to meet this young man.”

Other emperors and Sword God Powerhouses also stood up upon hearing Wan Guangfeng and Zhong Hui speak.

So, everyone left the square.

Yang Xiaotian had just arrived at the square when he saw Great Emperor Wan Guangfeng, Azure God Mansion Ancestor Zhong Hui, and a host of emperors and Sword God Powerhouses all coming out to greet him, which took him aback.

Princess Wan Ning quickly stepped forward and approached Great Emperor Wan Guangfeng, bowing slightly, “Father.” Then she greeted the other powerhouses.

Wan Guangfeng nodded with a smile to Princess Wan Ning, his gaze then falling on Yang Xiaotian, “Friend Yang truly has an imposing aura.”

Yang Xiaotian hurried over to the group and greeted them with a clasped fist, “I have seen the Great Emperor and all the seniors here.”

Wan Guangfeng said with a smile, “Friend Yang, there’s no need to be so formal.” He continued with a laugh, “From now on, consider the Myriad Gods Imperial Palace your home.”

Listening to her father’s words, which seemed to imply something, Princess Wan Ning’s face turned red.

Afterward, Wan Guangfeng introduced Yang Xiaotian to everyone. A round of greeting ensued and they all entered the feast in the square.

Once the guests of honor had taken their seats, they enjoyed a session of drinking and merry-making with lively chatter and laughter.

During the third round of drinks, Lin Yue, a direct disciple of the Azure God Mansion Ancestor who sat near Zhong Hui, couldn’t help but stand up and say, “I am Lin Yue from the Azure God Mansion. I’ve heard that Junior Brother Yang has unlocked one thousand and ninety-five acupoints and has cultivated the Eternal Divine Body. I wish to experience the power of the Eternal Divine Body. Would Junior Brother Yang be willing to enlighten me?”

The crowd immediately perked up, all eyes on Yang Xiaotian.

Many had come just to see the power of Yang Xiaotian’s one thousand and ninety-five acupoints and his Eternal Divine Body.

“Sure,” Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.

The crowd listened, all eyes brightening, as they set down their wine cups.

Lin Yue leaped up and landed in the center of the square.

Yang Xiaotian rose from his seat too and walked to the center of the square.

All became quiet.

In a palace deep within the Imperial Palace, two white-haired elders were using the Heavenly Eye Divine Skill to watch Yang Xiaotian.

The two were none other than Wan Shiwei and Medicine God Feng Yiming of the Myriad Gods Imperial Clan.

“The leftover divine medicine you asked me for a few days ago, you gave it to this Yang Xiaotian?” Medicine God Feng Yiming asked, “But he has only triggered the Heavenly Nectar three times; his Eternal Divine Body isn’t successful yet. He shouldn’t be a match for Lin Yue.”

Lin Yue had not concealed his aura, which made it clear to everyone that he was a master of the tenth level of the Martial Emperor Realm.

Wan Shiwei nodded, “The Eternal Divine Body is indeed powerful, but since Xiaotian is only in the Venerable Realm now, it’s normal that he is no match for Lin Yue.”

Lin Yue looked at Yang Xiaotian opposite him and said, “Junior Brother Yang, since you haven’t yet broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm, it would be dishonorable for me to win in a fight against you. How about this, I’ll suppress my realm to the fourth level of the Martial Emperor Realm to fight you?”

“No need for that,” Yang Xiaotian replied, shaking his head, “Just go all out.”
