Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2075: Another Showdown

The Medicine Hall’s alchemy processes had a desperate need for top-grade Dao Holy Veins, so the one hundred veins provided by Yang Xiaotian were an immense help to Teng Si.

Seeing the arrival of these one hundred top-grade Dao Holy Veins, Teng Si beamed with satisfaction and remarked, "Our Medicine Hall truly owes you a significant debt of gratitude this time."

Yang Xiaotian dismissed the comment with a wave of his hand, smiling as he replied, "It is I who am indebted to Teng Zu. With those ten stalks of five-hundred-million-year Divine Medicine, my cultivation is set to make a great leap forward."

The mission posted by Teng Si required the delivery of one hundred top-grade Dao Holy Veins. In exchange, the reward consisted of one thousand contribution points and ten stalks of five-hundred-million-year Divine Medicine.

At present, Yang Xiaotian was situated at the Holy Emperor Seventh Layer. He was confident that with the aid of these ten stalks of five-hundred-million-year Divine Medicine, he could successfully break through to the Holy Emperor Tenth Layer!

Shortly after, the ten stalks of five-hundred-million-year Divine Medicine were handed over to Yang Xiaotian by Teng Zu.

Once the medicine was in his possession, Yang Xiaotian retreated to his cave mansion for a period of secluded cultivation to refine the precious herbs.

Just as he had anticipated, his cultivation reached the early stage of the Holy Emperor Tenth Layer upon completing the refinement of the ten stalks.

During the following period, Yang Xiaotian focused on completing tasks to amass contribution points. Simultaneously, he utilized Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills to trade for Five Elements Sacred Soil, Xuanhuang Holy Water, and All Things Star Water to sustain his progress.

If he could elevate his Holy Land to the Fifteenth Level, it would begin generating Xuanhuang Qi!

The importance of Xuanhuang Qi could not be overstated.

With a future supply of Xuanhuang Qi, his various Sacred Bodies would see rapid improvement.

Once his Myriad Domains Holy Body reached the Thirty-Fourth Layer, he would gain the support of the Power of the Myriad Realms. While perhaps not entirely invincible in the lower realm, his combat strength would definitely reach terrifying heights.

However, upgrading his Holy Land from the Fourteenth Level to the Fifteenth Level was a massive undertaking, requiring three thousand two hundred units of Five Elements Sacred Soil.

He had previously obtained six hundred units from World Commerce, but securing the remaining three thousand two hundred units was proving to be a difficult challenge.

While he was busy refining the five-hundred-million-year Divine Medicine, he managed to trade for one thousand six hundred pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil, but over the last two years, such trades had completely dried up.

Consequently, Yang Xiaotian was forced to find an alternative method to acquire the final one thousand six hundred pieces.

While superpowers were constantly trading for Xuanhuang Holy Water and All Things Star Water, none of them seemed to have any Five Elements Sacred Soil available for exchange.

Furthermore, the missions provided by the World Academy only offered rewards like contribution points, never Five Elements Sacred Soil.

Decades slipped by as Yang Xiaotian continued his streak of completing tasks, eventually bringing his total contribution points to thirty thousand.

His Reversing Holy Body had also advanced to the Thirty-Second Level.

Even his All Things Holy Body had reached the Thirty-First Level.

Just as Yang Xiaotian was preparing to apply for the Junior Academy Head assessment through the various halls, word reached him that the Son of the Holy Realm had successfully cultivated fourteen Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Bodies.

Following this achievement, the Son of the Holy Realm issued another challenge, calling for a duel at Emperor Heaven Mountain.

"Emperor Heaven Mountain," Yang Xiaotian muttered, closing the letter of challenge.

This mountain was a renowned landmark on the World Continent that had stood since the Desolate era. Its structure was incredibly resilient, making it a preferred site for many powerful experts to settle their life-and-death feuds.

The duel was scheduled for the first day of the upcoming month.

The first day of next month?

With only about ten days remaining, it was clear that the Son of the Holy Realm was desperate to avenge his past defeats and reclaim his honor!

"Inform your Saint Heir that I will meet him on the first day of next month at Emperor Heaven Mountain," Yang Xiaotian instructed the messenger who had delivered the challenge.

The master who brought the letter cupped his hands and said with a smirk, "Very well, I shall convey your answer to the Saint Heir. However, the Saint Heir also declared that if you are defeated, he demands the Dark Heavenly Book and twenty thousand Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills!"

He wanted the Dark Heavenly Book?

It seemed the Son of the Holy Realm and his master were still obsessed with obtaining it.

"Fine. But should your Saint Heir lose, I demand two thousand portions of Holy Realm Origin Liquid and two thousand pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil!" Yang Xiaotian replied after a brief pause.

The messenger's brow furrowed as he repeated, "Two thousand portions of Holy Realm Origin Liquid and two thousand pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil?"

After a moment of hesitation, he added, "I will pass this on to the Saint Heir, though I cannot promise he will agree to such terms."

With those words, he cupped his hands and quickly departed.

Yang Xiaotian watched the man's retreating figure until he vanished.

If he could secure those two thousand pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil through this battle, his Holy Land would finally reach the Fifteenth Level!

It would become the only Holy Land in existence capable of manifesting Xuanhuang Qi.

He wasn't worried about whether the Son of the Holy Realm would accept; he knew the challenge would proceed.

Since the duel was set for next month, he had to delay his application for the World Academy Junior Academy Head assessment, as that process typically took over a month to complete.

The messenger soon relayed Yang Xiaotian’s terms. Though the Son of the Holy Realm’s expression darkened, he agreed to the conditions after receiving approval from his master, the Master of the Holy Realm.

News of the impending clash at Emperor Heaven Mountain spread like wildfire.

Both the World Continent and the Holy Realm Continent were in an uproar.

Experts from both realms began flocking toward Emperor Heaven Mountain in massive numbers.

"The Son of the Holy Realm was humiliated by Yang Xiaotian during the apprenticeship ceremony. Now, with his Holy Land at the Fourteenth Level and fourteen Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Bodies, he is back for blood!"

"The Son of the Holy Realm has also ascended to the Saint Venerable Realm and even touched upon the mysteries of Grotto Heaven. This time, Yang Xiaotian might actually lose!"

"I wouldn't be so sure. Don't forget that Yang Xiaotian possesses the First of Eternity Heart, two King of Chaos Totems, and twelve thousand nine hundred sixty Kaitian Holy Paths!"

The debates among the crowds were fierce.

Nevertheless, the general consensus was that the Son of the Holy Realm held the advantage this time.

His Holy Land was at the Fourteenth Level, he had mastered fourteen Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Bodies, and he had reached the Saint Venerable Realm.

Upon hearing of the challenge, Bai Yan visited Yang Xiaotian’s cave mansion to discuss the matter.

"Xiaotian, do you truly have confidence in this fight?" Bai Yan asked, unable to hide his worry.

If the Dark Heavenly Book was surrendered to the Holy Realm Academy, the World Academy’s influence would be severely diminished.

"Master, please be at ease. Your disciple is fully confident," Yang Xiaotian assured him.

Bai Yan nodded, feeling slightly more relaxed, but cautioned, "Be careful. The First Demon and the Evil Head, Mad Demon, might appear during this battle."

Bai Yan was well aware of the chaos the Demon and Evil Sects had been stirring up on the World Continent recently.

"Understood, Master. I will be on my guard," Yang Xiaotian replied.

After Bai Yan’s departure, Yang Xiaotian consumed a Holy Fruit and resumed his training, waiting for the day of the duel.

While Yang Xiaotian prepared, Cheng Zhan, Liao Yuan, Li Quan, and others met to discuss the potential outcomes.

"If Yang Xiaotian is defeated, will the Dark Heavenly Book really go to the Holy Realm Academy?" Liao Yuan asked solemnly.

"Should things take a turn for the worse, we cannot allow the Dark Heavenly Book to fall into their hands, no matter the cost!" Cheng Zhan declared with resolve.
