Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2039: Chaotic King Totem

Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Yang Xiaotian returns to the Ancient Cold Abyss after successfully cultivating the Fourteenth Layer of the Innate Buddha Ancestor Power. He uses this power to liberate the Dark Abyss Giant Beast, who swears a heavenly oath to serve him for ten thousand years in exchange for its freedom. Inside the Buddha Land, Yang Xiaotian uncovers the sacred treasures of the Present Buddha, including a staff, a ring, and a significant supply of the Source of Chaos. After retreating to Myriad Demon City to refine these resources, his strengthened Divine Soul Power finally penetrates the deepest layers of space, allowing him to reach and sense the massive Chaos King Laws.

Yang Xiaotian applied himself to his cultivation day and night.

Ultimately, the Source of Chaos he had acquired was entirely refined and merged into his being.

Once the refinement of the Source of Chaos was complete, he shifted his focus immediately to the comprehension of the Chaos King Law.

Utilizing his Divine Soul Power to envelop a Chaos King Law, it wasn't long before he had mastered it completely.

With every Holy Realm Chaotic King Law he understood, a corresponding law would manifest and condense in the air surrounding him.

His pace of insight was staggering; by the time the first day concluded, hundreds of Holy Realm Chaotic King Laws circled his form.

A month later, the count had surged to ten thousand!

Based on Yang Xiaotian’s current rate of comprehension, he was on track to master 129,600 laws within a single year!

While Yang Xiaotian remained immersed in his meditation on the Chaos King Law, startling news emerged from the Ancestor Continent that sent shockwaves through every faction.

The Young Clan Leader of the Ancestors had successfully cleared the World Academy’s entrance trials, earning a place as an Inner Sect Disciple.

In the Holy Realm, the World Academy stands unrivaled as the preeminent power!

If there is any organization capable of making the Master of Holy Realm feel a sense of caution, it is undoubtedly the World Academy.

Regardless of the continent, having a resident join the World Academy as a disciple is considered the ultimate glory for that entire land.

Consequently, the revelation that the Young Clan Leader of the Ancestors had secured a spot as an Inner Sect Disciple caused a massive stir among the empires, sects, and clans of the Ancestor Continent.

The inhabitants of the Ancestor Continent were well aware of the extreme difficulty involved in passing the World Academy’s tests.

Despite the Ancestor Continent's status as a super continent within the Holy Realm, a century of millennia had passed without a single person successfully entering the World Academy.

"Since the Young Clan Leader of the Ancestors has become an Inner Sect Disciple, he might even attract the attention of the World Academy’s Patriarch and be named a Direct Disciple!"

"Word is that he has already pushed his Ancestor’s Body to the Thirty-First Layer! He now wields thirty-one layers of Ancestor Power!"

"What? The Thirty-First Layer of the Ancestor’s Body! Even the Great Ancestor himself hadn't reached that level while in the Holy Emperor Realm, had he?"

Heated debates broke out across every corner of the Ancestor Continent.

Even powerful rulers like Feng Yuanshan, the head of the Feng Family, were left in shock upon hearing that the Young Clan Leader had achieved the Thirty-First Layer.

"The Ancestor Clan might soon be home to a second Ancestor," Feng Yuanshan remarked with a heavy expression.

The current Ancestor of the Ancestors remains the undisputed sovereign of their continent.

Should a second figure of such magnitude arise within the Ancestor Clan, their dominance over the Ancestor Continent would be absolute.

"I can't help but wonder if Yang Xiaotian will be able to pass the Inner Sect Disciple trials of the World Academy in the future," Old Ancestor Feng Zhifan mused suddenly within the hall.

The room fell into a stunned, heavy silence.

Currently, Yang Xiaotian is a sensitive subject for the people of the Ancestor Continent.

In fact, numerous sects had issued orders forbidding their disciples from even mentioning his name.

"Yang Xiaotian, indeed." At the mention of the name, Feng Yuanshan envisioned the scenes from the Battle of Myriad Demon City and the conflict at Yin Ghost Mountain. He recalled the terrifying First of Eternity Heart and those 129,600 Kaitian Level Holy Paths.

"He only recently stepped into the Saint King Realm. Reaching the Holy Emperor Realm will likely take him several centuries. It is far too early to speculate on his chances with the World Academy," a Feng Family elder countered.

The others nodded in agreement.

They quickly turned their conversation back to the achievements of the Young Clan Leader of the Ancestors.

Meanwhile, atop a peak within the World Academy, the newly minted Inner Sect Disciple stood overlooking the churning Holy Spirit Clouds. The Young Clan Leader of the Ancestors squeezed his hands into fists, his gaze burning with resentment: "Yang Xiaotian, I shall return to the Ancestor Continent within a hundred years. When that day comes, you had better be ready!"

"Every grievance I suffered at your hands will be repaid a thousand times over!"

His eyes reflected a cold, unwavering resolve.

Unaware of these developments or the Young Clan Leader's success, Yang Xiaotian remained seated within the Myriad Demon Great Array, relentlessly deciphering the Holy Realm Chaotic King Laws.

A year passed, and the number of Holy Realm Chaotic King Laws surrounding him finally climbed past 120,000!

The process of comprehending Holy Realm Laws is a massive drain on one's Divine Soul Power; most Saint King Realm disciples struggle to grasp even a thousand at once. Yet, despite holding 120,000 Chaos King Laws, Yang Xiaotian felt no exhaustion in his soul.

This was due to his careful approach; he hadn't rushed the process, instead choosing to consume the Source of Chaos to bolster his Divine Soul Power. Had he relied on his previous strength, mastering 120,000 laws would have been an impossible feat.

"120,100!"

"120,200!"

...

With every new law that manifested, the golden radiance emitted by the swirling Chaos King Laws intensified.

"129,000!"

Through his tireless efforts, the count reached 129,000.

At this point, however, a wave of fatigue finally began to wash over his Divine Soul.

"129,100!"

"129,200!"

With every hundred laws added, the weight of his exhaustion grew heavier.

By the time he reached 129,500 laws, Yang Xiaotian was on the verge of losing consciousness.

He knew, however, that he could not succumb to sleep. To stop now would cause the laws to shatter, forcing him to restart the entire arduous process from the beginning.

Driven by sheer willpower, the Chaos King Laws finally reached 129,599!

Only one remained!

Buzz!

As the final law clicked into place at 129,600, a blinding golden light erupted from the collection, filling the entire array space with brilliance.

Ghostly images of Demon Gods began to manifest within the Myriad Demon Great Array.

The very foundations of Myriad Demon City began to tremble.

This sudden anomaly within the city caught the attention of every powerful expert in the vicinity.

Yang Xiaotian felt a surge of adrenaline and joy upon seeing the 129,600 laws complete. However, the task wasn't finished. The laws needed to be forged into a totem. He maintained his focus, guiding the laws to merge and transform.

While his Divine Soul Power directed the laws to form the totem, the final shape it would take was beyond his conscious control.

The Chaos King Laws followed an ancient, mysterious path, eventually weaving themselves into a totem.

This totem ascended toward the heavens as if it intended to pierce through the Myriad Demon Great Array, crackling with fearsome dark demon thunder.

Specifically, it was Chaos Dark Demon Thunder!

Wrapped entirely in this destructive thunder, the totem radiated an aura of a dark sovereign—the progenitor of demons, the master of ruin, and the Chaos Thunder Ancestor.

When Yang Xiaotian gave the totem a slight nudge of activation, a tide of darkness, demonic Qi, and chaotic energy erupted. The Myriad Demon Great Array shook so violently it seemed on the verge of shattering.

Terrified that its sheer power would destroy the array entirely, Yang Xiaotian immediately ceased his control over the totem.
