Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2084: The Major Realms

Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Yang Xiaotian shocked the leadership of the World Academy by revealing that he personally refined over ten thousand Fourteenth Tribulation Saint Emperor Pills. After demonstrating his mastery over eight Chaotic Holy Fires, he reached an agreement with Dean Bai Yan to exchange these rare elixirs for the massive quantities of divine medicine and Heavenly Crystal Stones he required. While his unprecedented refining skills drew the wary eyes and killing intent of the Sacred World Academy, Yang Xiaotian entered seclusion to push his limits. Through intense cultivation, he advanced to the peak of the Saint Venerable Realm, bringing his numerous Sacred Bodies to the thirty-third layer and amassing enough energy to condense the legendary Primordial Cave Heaven.

Yang Xiaotian chose not to condense the Primordial Cave Heaven within the confines of the World Academy.

Should he attempt to form the Primordial Cave Heaven there, the resulting phenomenon would undoubtedly draw the gaze of every onlooker. He had no desire for the public to witness his breakthrough or know the specifics of his progress.

Consequently, Yang Xiaotian departed from the World Academy, seeking out a desolate and uninhabited region to begin the condensation process of the Primordial Cave Heaven.

Since Master Ding’s power had long since returned to the Six Strike of Epoch—placing him on par with the Ancestor of the Ancestors and the Abyss of Darkness—Yang Xiaotian felt secure against any potential ambushes with such a guardian by his side.

Upon arriving at the secluded location, Yang Xiaotian harnessed his Divine Soul and Dao Heart to manipulate the surrounding Pocket World’s Energy, forcing it to condense. Soon, a shimmering aperture resembling a spatial gateway manifested behind him.

This gateway was the Cave Heaven’s Mouth.

Within that entrance, an entirely distinct world began to reveal itself.

As the Cave Heaven expanded and solidified, the radiance at the portal intensified, and a burgeoning vitality took root inside, mirroring the birth of a miniature universe. Before long, the Cave Heaven ascended to Level Ten.

At Level Ten, the internal space of a Cave Heaven is roughly equivalent to the size of a sun.

Undeterred, Yang Xiaotian pushed further. When the expansion reached Level Eleven, the internal area had already grown to the scale of several suns. The vitality within a Level Eleven Cave Heaven is incredibly dense, with potent Cave Heaven force saturating every corner. Such vitality acts as a Divine Elixir, possessing the power to mend wounds and restore health.

By the time it reached Level Twelve, the space had become so vast that hundreds of suns would seem minuscule within its borders, and the internal life force surged even more violently.

At Level Thirteen, the vitality within the Cave Heaven underwent a phase change, condensing into a liquid state. Upon hitting Level Fourteen, this liquid vitality began to crystallize into solid forms!

These were the legendary Heavenly Crystal Stones!

Only a Cave Heaven of at least Level Fourteen is capable of birthing these stones, which explains their immense value and rarity.

Yang Xiaotian continued to direct the Pocket World’s Energy to fuel the expansion. Every time a new level was breached, the internal environment underwent a chaotic transformation, becoming dangerously unstable. Without the support of an immense Divine Soul and Dao Heart, the Cave Heaven would likely implode.

A collapse of this magnitude would result in a backlash capable of shattering a cultivator's mind and Dao Heart. In the worst-case scenarios, the Dao Heart would suffer irreparable cracks.

However, thanks to his First of Eternity Heart, Yang Xiaotian remained unconcerned about a total collapse. Even so, he exercised caution, slowing his pace as he refined the structure.

After a long period of focused effort, the Cave Heaven reached the peak of Level Fourteen and finally shattered the threshold to Level Fifteen. As it reached this level, the interior erupted in a violent tremor akin to a cataclysmic earthquake. The resulting shockwaves were so fierce they rattled Yang Xiaotian’s very soul.

While his Dao Heart remained unshaken, his Divine Soul was left numbed by the vibrations. Despite having nourished his Divine Soul with the Xuanhuang Holy Vein until it surpassed most experts at the Saint Venerable Tenth Layer Peak, the transition to Level Fifteen was almost more than he could handle.

Just as the numbness took hold, the Primordial Life Holy Tree began to glow brilliantly, sending a rejuvenating rain of life into his Sea of Divine Soul. This provided some relief to his battered spirit.

Simultaneously, he triggered his Ultimate Life Holy Body. Under the influence of the Thirty-Three Layer Ultimate Life Holy Body, his Divine Soul began a process of rapid regeneration.

Yet, the tremors of the Level Fifteen transformation were a relentless onslaught rather than a single shock. Even with the combined help of the Holy Body and the Holy Tree, the pressure on his Divine Soul was nearing its breaking point. Had he failed to endure, his Divine Soul would have certainly splintered.

Fortunately, just as he reached his limit, the violent pulses from the Cave Heaven began to subside, their intensity gradually fading away. After several days, the turbulence ceased entirely.

The Level Fifteen Cave Heaven was successfully established!

The interior of the space was now flooded with thick, potent Primordial Qi. Having survived the crisis, Yang Xiaotian felt a surge of triumph. He sat in the heart of the Cave Heaven, allowing the vast sea of Primordial Qi to wash over him.

Previously, he and Master Ding had benefited from the Xuanhuang Holy Energy of a Level Fifteen Holy Land, but this Primordial Qi was of an even higher grade. Master Ding emerged as well, immersing himself in the Primordial ocean. With enough Primordial Holy Veins, he would be able to reclaim the strength of the Seven Strike of Epoch!

Once Yang Xiaotian had mastered the power of the Level Fifteen Cave Heaven, he turned his sights toward the Holy Emperor Realm. He was already at the Saint Venerable Tenth Layer Peak, and the time for his breakthrough had come.

A thunderous boom echoed as the Holy Emperor Barrier was demolished in a single attempt. Thunder shook the Nine Heavens, and massive layers of dark clouds gathered, blanketing entire mountain ranges. The scale of these clouds during his Holy Emperor Tribulation was tenfold what he had faced as a Saint Venerable.

If this tribulation was already so massive, he could only imagine that his Harmonization Tribulation might one day cover the entire World Continent. Despite the terrifying display, the remote location ensured no one knew Yang Xiaotian was the one undergoing the trial.

As the lightning fell, Yang Xiaotian once again used his physical form to absorb the brunt of the strikes. After the Eleventh Layer of Tribulation Thunder, he began utilizing his Sacred Body and Dao Heart. He effortlessly crushed the Fifteenth Layer, absorbing its essence to stabilize his new Holy Emperor Realm. He then used the Primordial Qi to forge ten Primordial Holy Veins to help Master Ding recover his strength.

Returning to the World Academy, Yang Xiaotian refined his remaining six Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicines. Even after consuming over a dozen such medicines, he only reached the latter stage of the Holy Emperor First Layer, falling short of the second. He realized that by the time he reached the Second Layer, these medicines might lose their effectiveness entirely.

He would eventually need Seven-Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicines, yet even the World Academy possessed only one. Such treasures took eons to grow, and the World Continent might not produce a single one in a million years. They were finite resources that vanished upon use.

Yang Xiaotian then produced the Dao Holy Flame he had bought to merge it with his final Chaos Divine Fire. His Divine Soul was now powerful enough to command nine types of Chaos Holy Fire. Once the final fire transitioned into a Chaos Holy Fire, he headed to the cosmic marketplace to gather the components for the Saint Ancestor Pill.

The path of Cultivation was clear: beyond the Holy Emperor was the Saint Ancestor, followed by the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm. Figures like the Blood Demon Old Monster, Destroying Heaven Demon, and Yin Yang Ghost Master resided in that realm. Above that was the Harmonization Realm, occupied by powerhouses like the Ancestor of the Ancestors and the Abyss of Darkness.

The Master of Holy Realm, his mentor Bai Yan, and the Present Buddha were all at the peak of the Harmonization Ten Layers. Beyond even that was the Creator Realm—a height reached only by the Creator Lord himself.
