Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2045: Second Chaos King Totem

Upon their departure, Yang Xiaotian and his companions located a secluded mountain range. There, they began refining the Source of Chaos to bolster their Divine Soul Power.

While he focused on absorbing the Source of Chaos for his soul, Yang Xiaotian simultaneously commanded his two Divine Avatars to cultivate a variety of Sacred Bodies.

Aided by the Source of Chaos, Yang Xiaotian’s Divine Soul Power climbed at a consistent rate.

Nevertheless, despite the potency of the Source of Chaos, he calculated it would still require roughly eight years to elevate his Divine Soul Power to the threshold needed to manifest his Second Chaos King Totem.

As Yang Xiaotian remained immersed in his cultivation of the Source of Chaos to strengthen his soul, the arrival of the Abyss of Darkness on the World Continent ignited a massive wave of speculation.

The descent of a figure as formidable as the Abyss of Darkness—whose power rivaled that of the Lord of Corpse Realm—was bound to attract significant attention across the World Continent.

What caused even more astonishment, however, was the sight of the Abyss of Darkness and the Dragon Corpse Beast accompanying a youth dressed in blue robes.

News of the Abyss of Darkness reaching the World Continent quickly reached the ears of the World Academy.

This event prompted several ancestors of the World Academy to emerge from their long-standing seclusion.

"The Abyss of Darkness has been missing for so many years; why has it reappeared now, seemingly serving a mere youth?" questioned Xin Lei, the ancestor of the World Academy’s Punishment Hall, his voice filled with skepticism.

As the leader of the Punishment Hall, Xin Lei’s martial prowess was considered among the elite even among the academy's ancestors.

"This young man possesses the Chaos Sacred Body and has already reached the Thirty Layer. His innate potential is clearly immense, though his other talents remain a mystery," remarked an elder standing beside Xin Lei, who was clad in a Flame Holy Robe.

This individual was Xiao Zheng, the ancestor of the Hall of Achievement.

In terms of raw power, Xiao Zheng stood on equal footing with Xin Lei.

Teng Si, another elder representing the Medicine Hall, glanced toward Xiao Zheng and chuckled. "What is it, Old Xiao? Have you taken an interest in this boy? Are you thinking of making him your disciple? Just remember, while he has the Chaos Sacred Body, his other attributes might not be as impressive."

"Furthermore, there is no guarantee he can even pass the Inner Sect Disciple assessment of our World Academy."

Xin Lei, the Punishment Hall ancestor, laughed in agreement. "Old Fourth makes a fair point. In the past, countless disciples with Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Bodies attempted our Inner Sect assessment, only to fail at the very first trial. We have seen such examples time and again."

Luo Chong, the ancestor of the Mission Hall, joined the laughter. "Brother Xin is correct. If this youth cannot even condense a King-level Totem, then regardless of his Chaos Sacred Body, he won't make it past the first stage of the Inner Sect Disciple test."

He then turned back to Xiao Zheng. "By the way, I’ve heard that the Phoenix Clan’s young genius, Feng Zhong, has already broken through to the Holy Emperor Realm!"

Xiao Zheng’s expression brightened at the news. "Does that mean the Feng Zhong boy will be arriving soon to attempt our World Academy Inner Sect Disciple assessment?"

Luo Chong nodded with a smile. "Precisely! We may not know the true depth of that blue-robed youth’s talent, but Feng Zhong’s potential surely eclipses his by several folds!"

"Should Feng Zhong participate in our assessment, he would undoubtedly be hailed as the most gifted disciple the World Academy has seen in a million years!"

Feng Zhong was the premier talent of the Phoenix Clan’s younger generation, possessing a gift comparable to the legendary Nine Heaven Divine Phoenix. Throughout the Holy Realm, it was widely believed that Feng Zhong was destined to become the second coming of that divine entity.

"Once Feng Zhong passes the Inner Sect assessment, taking him as your disciple would be infinitely better than settling for that young man in blue," Luo Chong teased.

Xiao Zheng looked at Xin Lei, Teng Si, and the others, declaring, "When that time comes, I intend to claim Feng Zhong as my disciple. None of you better try to compete with me for him."

The sight of Xiao Zheng’s eagerness brought smiles to the faces of Xin Lei and Teng Si. They understood his passion; finding a disciple with Feng Zhong’s caliber was a rare opportunity.

Such geniuses were truly once-in-a-lifetime finds.

"Old Xiao, if you’re putting your foot down, we won't get in your way. However, even if we don't compete, I’m afraid that young girl Zhou Qin might have her own plans," Xin Lei noted.

Zhou Qin was the World Academy’s youngest ancestor, a woman whose meteoric rise and supreme talent had cast a shadow over all other geniuses.

She was also renowned as the most stunning beauty on the World Continent.

If Zhou Qin decided she wanted Feng Zhong as her disciple, Xiao Zheng would likely lose the struggle.

After all, few could find the resolve to decline the tutelage of the most beautiful woman on the continent.

The mention of Zhou Qin caused Xiao Zheng’s brow to furrow in concern.

"Still, I am genuinely intrigued as to why a youth in the blue robe is being followed by the likes of the Abyss of Darkness and the Dragon Corpse Beast," Luo Chong mused.

The others nodded in silent agreement.

This was the core of everyone's bewilderment.

It was profoundly strange for a legendary titan from the Holy Realm List, like the Abyss of Darkness, to follow a mere youth who was only in the Saint King Realm.

"The update for the Holy Realm List is approaching, isn't it?" Xin Lei suddenly remarked.

"Not just the Holy Realm List, but the next Heavenly Pride List is about to begin as well," added Teng Si of the Medicine Hall. "I wonder who will claim the top spot on the Heavenly Pride List this time."

"I suspect the first place on the Heavenly Pride List will once again be held by the Son of the Holy Realm," Luo Chong predicted.

"The Son of the Holy Realm..." At the mention of that name, Xin Lei and the others couldn't help but sigh with deep emotion.

In what seemed like a heartbeat, eight years passed by.

After eight years of dedicated cultivation using the Source of Chaos, Yang Xiaotian’s Divine Soul Power had finally doubled. He now possessed the necessary strength to condense his second Chaos King Totem.

To ensure absolute success, Yang Xiaotian continued to refine the Source of Chaos for an additional month. Only then did he trigger his Divine Soul Power to begin comprehending the Chaos King Law.

Just as before, as Yang Xiaotian delved into his comprehension, the Chaos King Laws manifested around him in increasing numbers, quickly reaching 129,000 laws.

During his previous attempt, reaching 129,000 laws had left his Divine Soul Power exhausted. This time, however, he felt no such fatigue.

Yang Xiaotian pushed further. It was only when he reached 129,500 laws that a slight weariness touched his Divine Soul.

Even so, he successfully reached the limit of 129,600 laws. He then began to manipulate these laws, guiding them to form his second totem.

The 129,600 Chaos King Laws began to swirl according to a trajectory dictated by the Heavenly Dao, eventually solidifying into a totem.

The moment the totem was completed, it erupted with an infinite brilliance. Within that radiance dwelt a golden Buddha Force capable of purging all evil, alongside the most ancient essence of life.

It appeared as a divine fusion of pure light, Buddha Force, and the power of eternal life.

As the second totem manifested, a universal light cascaded from the heavens. Above the Chaos Empire where he resided, light flooded down. Within this glow, the sacred chants of the Buddha Ancestor echoed, while the earth itself thrummed with surging life force.

In every city, vibrant green sprouts began to break through the soil.

It felt as though every trace of darkness and malice was being washed away.

The world was transformed into a realm of absolute purity and beauty.

Within the various cities of the Chaos Empire, powerful cultivators ceased their training, frozen in shock by the miraculous phenomenon.

A sense of profound awe filled the air as people speculated on the cause of such an event.

Even the Abyss of Darkness, the Dragon Corpse Beast, and the others standing guard over Yang Xiaotian were left speechless by the extraordinary sights unfolding before them.
