Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2076: I Have a Level 14 Holy Land, But You Don’t!

"Should we strike in secret now and take the Dark Heavenly Book from Yang Xiaotian?" Li Quan speculated.

They had to prevent the Dark Heavenly Book from falling into the hands of the Holy Realm Academy, and their sole opportunity was to take action before the final confrontation.

"However, Yang Xiaotian never exits his Cave Mansion. Even if we desire to act, it is difficult to find an opening," Liao Yuan remarked.

"Yang Xiaotian occasionally visits the Hongmeng Mansion in World City. We can strike the next time he travels there!" A sharp light flickered in Cheng Zhan’s eyes. "But when we move, we must be lightning-fast! The moment we hit, we must seize the Dark Heavenly Book and retreat at once!"

Any hesitation would surely tip off Bai Yan and the various ancestors of the World Academy.

Consequently, Cheng Zhan, Liao Yuan, Li Quan, and the others lay in wait for a chance when Yang Xiaotian would depart his Cave Mansion for the Hongmeng Mansion.

In the meantime, Yang Xiaotian remained focused on his Cultivation within his Cave Mansion, unaware that only a single day remained before the scheduled decisive battle.

Yang Xiaotian eventually ceased his Cultivation and stepped out from his Cave Mansion.

With the duel set for tomorrow and the World Academy being a significant distance from Emperor Heaven Mountain, an early departure was necessary.

Yang Xiaotian made his way toward the Main Hall.

As he walked, however, he was plagued by a persistent sensation of being watched.

Upon reaching the Main Hall, he found it already packed with numerous masters.

Since this was the definitive clash between Yang Xiaotian and the Son of the Holy Realm, many geniuses from the World Academy were naturally prepared to escort him.

This confrontation held even greater weight than the battle during his master-acknowledgment ceremony.

Inside the hall, ancestors including Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and Teng Si greeted Yang Xiaotian before setting out with him toward Emperor Heaven Mountain.

Because the Master of the Holy Realm was not attending this duel, Bai Yan also remained behind. Thus, Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and Teng Si were the ones accompanying Yang Xiaotian to the site.

Even though Bai Yan did not go, he was prepared to rush to Yang Xiaotian’s side instantly if any danger arose.

To guarantee Yang Xiaotian’s protection, he had already established a Grand Array in the vicinity of Emperor Heaven Mountain.

Cheng Zhan, Liao Yuan, and Li Quan also joined the procession to Emperor Heaven Mountain.

Throughout the journey, they remained silent.

They had been waiting for Yang Xiaotian to leave his Cave Mansion for the Hongmeng Mansion, but to their surprise, he had stayed inside until now.

Now that they were traveling toward Emperor Heaven Mountain with Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and Teng Si guarding him, they had no opening to strike.

The long night eventually gave way to morning.

As the sun rose, Yang Xiaotian and his companions spotted Emperor Heaven Mountain in the distance.

Emperor Heaven Mountain loomed at the horizon of the plains, a magnificent sight resembling a titan standing between Heaven and Earth.

Existing since before the Desolate era, the peak only gained its current name later. During the Desolate era, a multitude of Great Emperors met at this peak to collectively verify their Dao, leaving behind their Dao imprints upon the stone.

From that point forward, it was known as Emperor Heaven Mountain.

The area surrounding the mountain was a sea of powerful figures gathered from every corner of the world.

As Yang Xiaotian arrived, a stir went through the crowd of experts, who instinctively parted to let him through.

"Son of the World!"

"King of Chaos!"

Many disciples in the throng shouted with excitement as Yang Xiaotian drew near.

Following his previous clash with the Son of the Holy Realm at the ceremony, an increasing number of people throughout the World Continent had begun calling Yang Xiaotian the "Son of the World."

Because he commanded two Chaotic King Totems, many followers also hailed him as the King of Chaos.

"First of Eternity Emperor!" Some even gave him this title due to his possession of the First of Eternity Heart.

They called him Emperor because of the widespread belief that Yang Xiaotian would surpass the Great Emperors of old to become the world's preeminent emperor.

Noticing the passionate looks from the disciples, Yang Xiaotian offered a nod before proceeding with Xin Lei and the others toward the mountain.

At the summit of Emperor Heaven Mountain was a sheer precipice bearing the Dao imprints of the Desolate era's Great Emperors.

Despite the passage of eons, these Dao imprints remained vivid and unyielding.

Having merged with the mountain itself, the power of these imprints rendered Emperor Heaven Mountain completely indestructible.

No matter the intensity of the struggle, the mountain could never be harmed.

Yang Xiaotian began to study these ancient Dao imprints.

As he gazed upon them, it felt as though something buried deep within his soul was beginning to stir.

While Yang Xiaotian was observing the marks, a sudden clamor rose from the crowd as a massive spaceship pierced through the clouds.

Standing at the prow were the Son of the Holy Realm and various ancestors of the Holy Realm Academy.

Turning his head, Yang Xiaotian met the "hateful" stare of the Son of the Holy Realm, whose fighting spirit was so intense it seemed to set the horizon ablaze.

The enemy vessel soon came to a halt before Emperor Heaven Mountain.

The Son of the Holy Realm stepped off the ship, walking through the void toward Yang Xiaotian.

He spared a glance for the Dao imprints of the ancient Great Emperors before locking eyes with Yang Xiaotian: "Yang Xiaotian, are you ready?"

His arrogant tone made it sound as if he were asking if Yang Xiaotian was prepared for his own demise.

"Did you bring the items?" Yang Xiaotian asked in response.

His priority was whether the Son of the Holy Realm had brought the two thousand portions of Holy Realm Origin Liquid and the two thousand pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was focused on the Holy Realm Origin Liquid and Five Elements Sacred Soil, the Son of the Holy Realm gave a cold, mocking laugh. Was he really worried about such things while standing on the edge of death?

Nevertheless, he produced a Jade Vase and a Space Ring, revealing their contents. The Jade Vase held the two thousand portions of Holy Realm Origin Liquid, while the Space Ring contained the two thousand pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil.

"Where is your stake?" the Son of the Holy Realm demanded.

The Dark Heavenly Book emerged from Yang Xiaotian’s body as he simultaneously presented a Space Ring. Upon opening it, the scent of medicine saturated the air, exposing the twenty thousand Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills inside.

Every spectator watched with bated breath, their eyes fixed on the treasures wagered between Yang Xiaotian and the Son of the Holy Realm.

The sight of twenty thousand Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills left everyone in a state of shock.

Even the Son of the Holy Realm’s eyes burned with greed at the sight of the pills. He immediately unleashed the power of his Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body.

The brilliance of the Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body illuminated the heavens, followed quickly by the Son of the Holy Realm manifesting the power of his Holy Land.

The Fourteenth Level Holy Land expanded relentlessly, casting its shadow over one empire after another.

The crowd was stunned to see the Holy Land spanning the territory of more than ten empires.

"In the entirety of the Eternal Realms, only His Majesty, the Master of the Holy Realm, and Long Yi have ever reached the Fourteenth Level Holy Land. Now, there is another!" an excited Great Emperor shouted.

"Lei Gang is truly the pride of our Holy Realm! In a few million years, he will surely be second only to His Majesty, the Master of the Holy Realm," several ancestors added with fervor.

Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and the others could not conceal their alarm upon witnessing the Son of the Holy Realm’s Fourteenth Level Holy Land.

The Son of the Holy Realm stood with immense pride, looking down at Yang Xiaotian: "So what if you possess the Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body, Yang Xiaotian? I have it as well! But I also possess a Fourteenth Level Holy Land, something you lack!"
