Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2078: 2078: How to Become the Primordial Demon World Master?
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Master Ding immediately ignited every drop of Xuanhuang Holy Water in his possession. Ripples of Dao Runes manifested in layers, pushing his defensive capabilities to their absolute limit.
Even though Master Ding had regained power equivalent to a Five Strike of Epoch expert—matching the strength of the Ancestor Clan Chief from the past—it was still insufficient to repel the combined might of the Demon Sect and Evil Sect titans!
To truly stand his ground, Master Ding would need to recover to the level of Ten Strikes of the Epoch or higher!
Boom!
The defensive barriers Master Ding had painstakingly erected were being shattered one after another.
Suddenly, radiant pillars of light surged from Emperor Heaven Mountain. As the Grand Array activated, every Dao Mark carved into the peak's walls by the Primordial Great Emperors began to glow with explosive intensity.
As these Dao Marks flared to life, a series of towering, majestic phantoms of Great Emperors materialized above Emperor Heaven Mountain.
Their overwhelming pressure blanketed the sky.
Massive forces surged from the heart of the mountain.
Under the combined weight of the Great Emperor Dao Marks, the power of the First Demon, the Mad Demon, and the gathered experts of the Demon Sect and Evil Sect was suppressed.
In that instant, the void tore open, and Bai Yan appeared next to Yang Xiaotian.
Bai Yan glanced at the assembly of Demon Sect and Evil Sect villains in the heavens and let out a cold snort. Immediately, immense waves of power swept outward.
The Divine Souls of the Demon Sect and Evil Sect experts trembled violently from the shock.
Bai Yan then unsheathed a white sword.
The blade was a flawless, pure white, appearing as the most untainted object in existence.
With a swing from Bai Yan, devastating Sword Qi erupted from the blade, slicing toward the ranks of the Demon Sect and Evil Sect giants.
Muffled groans of pain echoed through the depths of the Vault Of Heaven.
It was clear that many of the high-level Demon Sect and Evil Sect figures had been wounded by Bai Yan’s strike.
Seeing the opening, the various Sect Masters, Great Emperors, Family Heads, and Ancestors who were spectating finally reacted. They launched a simultaneous assault against the Demon Sect and Evil Sect invaders.
Hantian reverberations shook the air repeatedly.
Waves of destructive power surged across the battlefield.
The area surrounding Emperor Heaven Mountain was completely decimated, reduced to a void of nothingness.
Cultivators from every faction retreated in panic, shielding their disciples as they fled the chaos.
After the exchange, the thick Demonic Qi and Evil Energy that had smothered Emperor Heaven Mountain began to fade away.
Realizing their ambush had failed, the First Demon, Mad Demon, and the other Evil Leaders had chosen to retreat.
Bai Yan watched their departure with a grim expression. He turned to Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and the other leaders, commanding: “Order the Empire Army to blockade the entire World Continent! Hunt down every last member of the Demon Sect and Evil Sect!”
“Kill anyone who dares to resist!”
Bai Yan’s killing intent had reached an unprecedented peak.
Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and the other Ancestors felt a chill run down their spines as they bowed and obeyed.
Soon, one Empire Grand Array after another flickered to life, bathing the World Continent in light.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian returned safely to the World Academy under the protection of Bai Yan and the others.
Once back at the World Academy, Yang Xiaotian couldn't help but worry about the threat posed by the First Demon and Mad Demon.
Even with the Empire’s blockade, capturing figures as powerful as the First Demon and Mad Demon would be an immense challenge.
As long as those leaders remained at large, he wouldn't feel safe leaving the World Continent or the protection of the World Academy.
“The Primordial Demon World has never had a Realm Lord. If you were to become the Primordial Demon World Master and command the Origin of Demons, you would have no reason to fear the First Demon or the Mad Demon,” Master Ding remarked.
“The Primordial Demon World?” Yang Xiaotian asked, surprised.
“The Primordial Demon World is the fountainhead of all demonic life in the heavens—the origin of a billion demons,” Master Ding explained. “If you ascend as the Primordial Demon World Master and grasp the Origin of Demons, every demon under the heavens will be forced to submit to your will!”
Yang Xiaotian was intrigued. “How does one become the Primordial Demon World Master?”
“To claim that title, you must possess at least the first five Eternal Dao Hearts,” Master Ding answered. “Furthermore, you must master the Innate Demon God Power.”
Yang Xiaotian already met those two requirements.
“However, your Innate Demon God Power must reach the Thirty-Four Layer level,” Master Ding clarified.
Currently, Yang Xiaotian’s Innate Demon God Power was nowhere near that stage.
“Additionally, the Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body is required,” Master Ding added. “If you meet all these criteria, you will have the chance to seize the Origin of Demons and rule the Primordial Demon World.”
“But the Master of the Holy Realm only has the Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body. How does he command the Holy Realm Origin?” Yang Xiaotian asked, feeling confused.
“He has attained Harmonization. With that, the Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body is sufficient,” Master Ding replied. “If you were to reach Harmonization, the Fourteenth level would be enough for you as well.”
Since Yang Xiaotian was only in the Holy Emperor Realm and had not yet reached the Saint Venerable Realm, he was far from Harmonization. Therefore, he absolutely needed the Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body.
Yang Xiaotian had originally intended to take the Junior Academy Head exam at the World Academy. However, he decided to postpone it until he could evolve his Holy Land to the Fifteenth Level.
Achieving the Fifteenth Level would make passing the assessment much easier.
Thus, Yang Xiaotian entered seclusion. He began using the Two Thousand Five Elements Sacred Soil he had taken from the Son of the Holy Realm to refine his mastery over gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
He also commanded his two Divine Avatars to focus on increasing their Innate Demon God Power and to use the Holy Realm Origin Liquid to temper his various Sacred Bodies.
While Yang Xiaotian focused on his cultivation, the Son of the Holy Realm and his entourage were retreating toward the Holy Realm Academy on their flying ships.
Recalling the humiliation of being punched by Yang Xiaotian at Emperor Heaven Mountain, the Son of the Holy Realm roared with rage, lashing out at the air to vent his fury.
“Your Highness, if you can locate the Ancient Heavenly Court, defeating Yang Xiaotian will be a simple matter!” an Ancestor from the Holy Realm Academy suggested, stepping forward.
The Son of the Holy Realm ground his teeth. “You’re right. If I can find and assimilate the Ancient Heavenly Court, I can hope to refine the Bright Heavenly Origin and command the Bright Heavenly Realm. When that happens, I will crush Yang Xiaotian like a bug!”
The Ancient Heavenly Court was a supreme treasure born from the Bright Heavenly Origin. Controlling it would allow one to become the Bright Heavenly Realm Master.
The Bright Heavenly Realm and the Primordial Demon World were both among the Ten Strongest Realms in existence.
“I have the strongest Holy Body of the Bright System. I am destined to be the Bright Heavenly Realm Master!” the Son of the Holy Realm vowed, clenching his fists.
After days of relentless effort, Yang Xiaotian finished refining the two thousand pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil. He immediately began using the concentrated elemental energies to condense his Holy Land further.
His Fourteenth Level Holy Land began to expand once more.
Elevating a Holy Land from the Fourteenth to the Fifteenth Level was incredibly arduous. During this transition, the five elemental forces become highly volatile. If a cultivator's Dao Heart isn't strong enough to stabilize them, the energy will backlash, causing their cultivation potential to plummet.
However, with the First of Eternity Heart, Yang Xiaotian was immune to such risks.
