Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2027: The First of the Ten Heavenly Books

A wave of shock rippled through the mind of the Ancestor Clan Chief. From high above the Vault Of Heaven, a terrifying soul pressure descended, crashing down without pause. Under the weight of this horrifying soul pressure, the Ancestor Clan Chief unexpectedly found himself gripped by a sense of deep reverence.

His expression shifted violently. He had originally calculated that if they encountered the giant tortoise, the combined strength of himself and the Ancestor’s Bodies of his companions would be enough to wage war against the creature. Now, he realized how delusional his confidence had been. The sheer terror of this giant’s power was beyond anything he or the other ancestors could hope to challenge.

It wasn't just them; even their own Ancestor would struggle to withstand it unless he appeared in person. As the other ancestors of the Ancestor Clan rushed toward the scene from the distance, they froze in shock at the sight of the colossal foot standing between Heaven and Earth. They noticed that the Black Heart Poison Centipede, which had been relentlessly pursuing them, didn't even dare to crawl forward. It was as if commoners had suddenly come face-to-face with a supreme emperor, not daring to take a single step further.

The soul pressure from the Vault Of Heaven continued its heavy descent. With an uncertain expression, the Ancestor Clan Chief finally cupped his fists in a gesture of respect and spoke, "Senior, we did not mean to offend you." He then gestured toward Yang Xiaotian, adding, "We only wish to take this boy and leave."

Seeing that the Ancestor Clan Chief was still uttering nonsense, the giant tortoise let out a hum. The sound resonated like the explosion of billions of Chaos Divine Thunder, causing the very colors of the sky to shift as countless black thunderbolts rained down upon the Ancestor Clan Chief. Terrified, the Clan Chief dodged in a frantic panic. Despite his efforts, he was miserably battered by the black lightning, leaving blood scars even upon his Ancestor’s Body.

Fear finally took root in the Ancestor Clan Chief’s heart. The mere invisible fury of his opponent could summon such devastating Chaos Xuanming Thunder! He wondered what level the giant tortoise’s power had truly reached. Could it possibly possess the strength of the Present Buddha?

"Senior, we are leaving now!" The Ancestor Clan Chief dared not linger, immediately leading his kin as they fled through the air. Within the blink of an eye, the members of the Ancestor Clan had vanished without a trace.

Watching the Ancestor Clan Chief lead the retreat, Yang Xiaotian turned toward the Vault Of Heaven, where only a single foot of the giant tortoise was visible. He spoke respectfully, "Yang Xiaotian thanks the senior for saving me." The several Destroying Heaven Demons also made haste to bow in gratitude.

"No need to thank me, it was just a trivial effort," the giant tortoise replied. It cast a meaningful glance at Master Ding before turning its attention back to Yang Xiaotian. "I never expected you to possess the Reversing Holy Body." The creature then added, "However, I am curious—how did you manage to subdue the Ancestor’s Heart?"

Yang Xiaotian was taken aback. Since arriving on the island, he had never once utilized the Ancestor’s Heart, yet the entity had seen right through him! After a brief moment of hesitation, Yang Xiaotian chose to activate the power of the First of Eternity Heart.

"What, the First of Eternity!" As Yang Xiaotian unleashed the First of Eternity Heart, the giant tortoise was struck with shock. The Vault Of Heaven trembled violently as an enormous shadow emerged, blotting out the sky. Giant Turtle Island was the size of an entire Empire, yet this boundless shadow was even larger than the island itself!

The full body of the giant tortoise finally appeared before them. It was entirely dark, with eyes that glowed a haunting green, surrounded by surging auras of Xuanming. From the dawn of time until now, only the Ancestor of the Ancestor Clan had ever laid eyes on this creature, which usually remained hidden in the void. Now, it had revealed itself because of Yang Xiaotian’s First of Eternity Heart. It stared at the youth with utter disbelief.

It had previously assumed Yang Xiaotian might be using a Strange Treasure to control the Ancestor’s Heart, but it never imagined he possessed the First of Eternity Heart! "So that’s it, so that’s it!" the giant tortoise repeated, its excitement growing visible. "I never thought you would be the First of Eternity Heart!"

The way the giant tortoise looked at Yang Xiaotian had transformed completely. After its initial excitement settled, the giant tortoise pondered for a moment. "Very well, since you possess the First of Eternity, I will grant you a great opportunity."

Yang Xiaotian was puzzled by the mention of a "great opportunity." The giant tortoise’s deep voice rumbled, "Whether you can obtain it depends on your fate. Follow me." Despite his confusion, Yang Xiaotian immediately flew after the giant creature. Since the tortoise only invited Yang Xiaotian, the Destroying Heaven Demons remained behind to wait. They felt a sense of relief as the distant Black Heart Poison Centipede retreated like a receding tide following the giant tortoise’s departure.

Yang Xiaotian followed the giant tortoise to a hidden cave mansion. This dwelling was shrouded in such thick darkness that it blended perfectly with its surroundings; without the First of Eternity Heart, Yang Xiaotian would have found it nearly impossible to detect. "Inside this cave mansion lies one of the Ten Great Heavenly Books!" the giant tortoise declared. By this time, it had shifted into a human form—a sturdy, giant man.

"One of the Ten Great Heavenly Books!" Yang Xiaotian was stunned. Each of these books was considered a supreme treasure of the Holy Realm, and one was right here! He wondered if the Ancestor of the Ancestor Clan had come seeking this very book in the past.

"Back then, the Ancestor of the Ancestor Clan indeed came for this heavenly book!" the giant tortoise confirmed. "However, even if I hadn't obstructed him, he could never have claimed it. Only those with the top ten Dao Hearts of eternity are permitted to enter this cave mansion."

Yang Xiaotian bowed deeply, cupping his fists. "Thank you, Senior." He felt a profound sense of gratitude, not only for his life being saved but for being offered such a monumental chance.

"No need for thanks," the giant tortoise said, shaking his head. "While the Dark Heavenly Book is inside, it is not easily claimed; everything rests on your destiny. Additionally, there is a Dark Pill within. See if you can retrieve it for me. If you can bring me the Dark Pill, it will serve as repayment for saving your life."

"Alright!" Yang Xiaotian agreed without hesitation and approached the cave mansion. The entrance was protected by Great Array Prohibitions. Yang Xiaotian activated the First of Eternity Heart and pressed his hands against the barrier, triggering a devouring force that pulled him inside.

Once inside, Yang Xiaotian found himself in an even darker realm that felt empty and void. There was nothing but absolute darkness—no sign of the Dark Heavenly Book or the Dark Pill. Furthermore, there were no visible Restrictions. "You must use your heart sense," Master Ding’s voice echoed.

Yang Xiaotian understood immediately. It wasn't the physical heart Master Ding referred to, but his Eternal Dao Heart. Sitting cross-legged, Yang Xiaotian closed his eyes and began to sense the dark energy permeating the mansion. Gradually, he merged with the darkness, feeling as though his entire existence had been submerged into a world of eternal night.

He flew forward through this Dark World, seeing nothing but endless shadows. He traveled tirelessly, feeling as though he had crossed a vast epoch, until he finally reached the boundary of the realm. There, at the very end of the Dark World, a book floated—as massive and imposing as a Chaos Mountain.
