Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2019: Giant Turtle Island

Observing Nie Zhen and his companions consume the elixirs, Yang Xiaotian ceased his interference, permitting them to resume their journey toward the Ancestor Clan headquarters.

Once Nie Zhen and the others had vanished from sight, Yang Xiaotian departed from the Blood Land Plain alongside several Destroying Heaven Demons to begin his pursuit of the Reversal Roulette.

Consulting the treasure map, Yang Xiaotian traced the indicated path. Before long, he reached the deep-sea region adjacent to Sea City.

However, upon reaching these depths, Yang Xiaotian and his group found their path obstructed by the relentless surge of deep-sea tides.

The waves reached toward the heavens, laden with a cataclysmic force that crashed violently in every direction. This power far exceeded Yang Xiaotian’s expectations; even with their strength, the team struggled to maintain their footing amidst the turbulent waters, finding it nearly impossible to advance even a single step.

"These are the apocalyptic tides," the Golden Armored Qilin informed Yang Xiaotian. "Young Master, the sheer force of these apocalyptic tides is terrifying. Perhaps we should retreat for now and return in a few months?"

Despite their fearsome nature, the apocalyptic tides usually had a limited duration, typically lasting no more than a few months.

Watching the apocalyptic tides continue their wild rampage, Yang Xiaotian gave a nod of agreement.

He was left with no other choice.

The dangers of the apocalyptic tides were well-known to him.

He cast his gaze toward the far end of the crashing waves.

According to the treasure map’s directions, the Reversal Roulette was located at the terminus of these apocalyptic tides.

The Destroying Heaven Demons followed Yang Xiaotian’s lead, staring into the distance where the tides ended.

"Holy Master, the destination beyond these apocalyptic tides should be Giant Turtle Island," Lei Zihao remarked to Yang Xiaotian. Being one of the Four Great Medicine Gods of the Ancestor Continent, he possessed significant knowledge of these waters.

He had navigated this sea region multiple times while searching for rare medicinal ingredients to use in refining elixirs.

"Giant Turtle Island," Yang Xiaotian repeated softly.

"Indeed, Giant Turtle Island. Legend says a primordial giant turtle inhabits that place. When the Ancestor Clan first migrated to the Ancestor Continent, the Ancestor of the Ancestors encountered this beast," Lei Zihao explained. "Originally, the Ancestor of the Ancestors intended to tame the creature, but he was surprised to find that the turtle possessed power that rivaled his own."

"The Ancestor of the Ancestors engaged it in battle for many days but failed to bring it into submission."

"Ultimately, the Ancestor of the Ancestors was forced to withdraw."

Yang Xiaotian was stunned. "A giant turtle whose strength is not inferior to the Ancestor of the Ancestors!"

The Ancestor of the Ancestors was a figure on the same level as the Long Clan Ancestor.

Did this imply that the giant turtle was an equal to the Long Clan Ancestor?

"It is merely a legend; its truth remains unverified," one of the Destroying Heaven Demons said while shaking his head. "Not even the Ancestor of the Ancestors could confirm it with certainty."

"This is because throughout the ages, no one has ever caught sight of this giant turtle."

"If the beast truly exists, it is likely that only the Ancestor of the Ancestors has ever laid eyes on it."

Yang Xiaotian nodded in acknowledgment.

Nevertheless, if such a creature truly existed, Yang Xiaotian felt a lingering suspicion that the Reversal Roulette might be connected to it in some way.

"Let us withdraw for the time being," Yang Xiaotian finally commanded after a brief silence.

For now, the only course of action was to wait for the Ancestor Ruins to open.

By the time they finished their business in the Ancestor Ruins, the apocalyptic tides would likely have subsided.

At that point, they could proceed directly to Giant Turtle Island.

Simultaneously, the Ancestor Clan Chief was occupied in his private chamber, conducting his own research into Giant Turtle Island.

The floor was littered with every scrap of information he had managed to gather regarding the island.

Following years of investigation, he had become increasingly certain that a legendary treasure was concealed upon Giant Turtle Island.

The Ancestor of the Ancestors had traveled there long ago specifically to claim that peerless prize.

However, the Ancestor of the Ancestors had been blocked by the giant turtle upon his arrival and was unable to secure the treasure.

What manner of treasure could it be to have stirred the interest of their Ancestor?

Furthermore, why had the Ancestor kept this secret from his descendants?

Was he protecting them from the lethal dangers of Giant Turtle Island, or were there other reasons for his silence?

The Ancestor Clan Chief’s eyes shifted with doubt and calculation.

Regardless of the reason, once the Ancestor Ruins closed this time, he was determined to journey to Giant Turtle Island to seek the treasure that had so captivated their Ancestor.

After returning to Sea City, Yang Xiaotian and his retinue waited with patience.

Just as anticipated, following the meeting at the Ancestor Clan headquarters, the clan announced that the Ancestor Ruins would open in two months.

In previous years, only one hundred elite disciples were permitted to enter the Ancestor Ruins for Cultivation and training. This time, however, the quota had been doubled to two hundred!

This increase in numbers was beneficial for Yang Xiaotian.

With a larger crowd, it would be much simpler for Yang Xiaotian to hide his presence and avoid the scrutiny of the Ancestor Clan Chief and Elder Nie Heng.

The Ancestor Clan soon published the roster of disciples selected to enter the Ancestor Ruins.

The Young Clan Leader of the Ancestor Clan was, naturally, at the very top of the list.

The direct disciples and descendants of Nie Heng and other prominent elders were also included.

Yang Xiaotian visited the public announcement site in Sea City, scanning the list and committing every name to memory.

At the same time, Yang Xiaotian ordered his subordinates to gather every detail possible regarding the Ancestor Ruins.

Through these investigations, Yang Xiaotian discovered that the Ancestor Ruins held more than just vast quantities of Dao Holy Flame; they also contained Four Hundred Million Year Divine Medicine, Innate Origin, and even Fourteenth Layer of Dao Holy Water.

Currently, Yang Xiaotian possessed the Five Great Chaotic Holy Fires, allowing him to refine Eleventh Tribulation Heavenly Grade Elixirs. However, after his breakthrough to the Holy King realm, the Holy Fruit produced by such elixirs had begun to lose its effectiveness.

Therefore, the abundance of Dao Holy Flame within the Ancestor Ruins was perfect for him to fuse his remaining Chaos Divine Fire, allowing it to evolve into Chaos Holy Fire.

If he could evolve his sixth Chaos Divine Fire into Chaos Holy Fire, he would be capable of refining Twelve Tribulations Heavenly Elixirs. The resulting Holy Fruit would undoubtedly be several times more potent than before.

Furthermore, since Yang Xiaotian’s Heavenly Dao Holy Body had surpassed the Thirtieth Layer, his Cultivation progress had slowed to a crawl. The Thirteenth Layer of Dao Holy Water was no longer sufficient; he was in dire need of the Fourteenth Layer of Dao Holy Water.

Master Ding’s recovery had also hit a wall and required a significant amount of the Fourteenth Layer of Dao Holy Water to proceed.

Learning of the Dao Holy Flame and the Fourteenth Layer of Dao Holy Water within the Ancestor Ruins caused Yang Xiaotian’s eyes to shimmer with anticipation.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

The day for the opening of the Ancestor Ruins finally arrived.

Having altered his features, Yang Xiaotian took the place of one of the Ancestor Clan disciples and arrived early at the square fronting the Ancestor Ruins alongside the others.

Yang Xiaotian had not been waiting long when the Ancestor Clan Chief and a group of elders descended from the sky.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Ancestor Clan Chief and Nie Heng, Yang Xiaotian grew wary and completely suppressed his aura. At the same time, he observed the Ancestor Saint Heir who accompanied the Clan Chief.

He had last seen the Ancestor Saint Heir over a decade ago at Hidden Dragon Lake. In the intervening years, the Saint Heir’s power had clearly reached a new level, and his entire temperament had transformed.

Standing beside the Ancestor Clan Chief, the Ancestor Saint Heir appeared both formidable and full of vitality.
