Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2105: 2105: Breaking Through to Saint Ancestor

Chapter 2105: Breakthrough to the Saint Ancestor Realm

A wave of jubilation swept across the World Academy and the entire World Continent, which was currently bathed in an atmosphere of intense excitement.

The people of the World Continent felt a profound sense of pride, for their Son of the World, Yang Xiaotian, had officially ascended as the Ancestor Dragon Realm Master.

Following the triumphant conclusion of the Dragon Battle, Yang Xiaotian retreated into the private cultivation chamber within the Silver Heavenly Dragon Clan’s headquarters. His objective was to begin the process of refining the Innate Demon God Power belonging to the Blood Cave Lord of the Demon God Cave.

Typically, even a powerhouse at the Unity Realm would find it impossible to assimilate the Innate Demon God Power of such a being. However, Yang Xiaotian’s status as a Realm Master gave him the unique authority to forcibly extract the Innate Demon God Power from his captive’s physical form.

Under Yang Xiaotian’s control, the Innate Demon God Power was systematically peeled away from the Blood Cave Lord, flowing steadily into Yang Xiaotian’s own body.

Despite the captive's desperate struggles, his efforts were entirely futile.

Within the confines of the Ancestor Dragon Realm, Yang Xiaotian’s will was law; only the Master of the Holy Realm or the Present Buddha possessed the strength to potentially defy him.

As Yang Xiaotian focused on absorbing the power of the Blood Cave Lord, several other Lords of the Demon God Cave gathered in a distant sector of the starry sky, far from the Ancestor Dragon Realm, to deliberate on the Blood Cave Lord’s failed assassination attempt.

“It was beyond my expectations that Yang Xiaotian would actually become the Ancestor Dragon Realm Master!” the Heavenly Cave Lord remarked, his voice heavy and resonant.

As the leader of the first cave, the Heavenly Cave Lord was the most formidable among the various leaders of the Demon God Cave.

He had initially felt some trepidation about accepting the contract to kill Yang Xiaotian, but the offered bounty had been too lucrative to decline.

They simply hadn't anticipated his sudden rise to the position of Ancestor Dragon Realm Master.

Regret now gnawed at them, though it served no purpose.

Furthermore, the Demon God Cave adhered to a strict code: once a mission was accepted, there was no withdrawing. This was the very rule that now caused him such distress.

“Yang Xiaotian cannot remain within the Ancestor Dragon Realm for eternity. The moment he departs, we will have our chance to strike!” the Prison Cave Lord declared with a cold tone.

“Brother Prison is correct. Yang Xiaotian is still only at the Holy Emperor Realm. Once he steps outside his domain, killing him will be a simple matter,” the Sword Cave Lord added in agreement.

Outside the Ancestor Dragon Realm, Yang Xiaotian’s ability to harness the Ancestral Dragon World Origin Power would be significantly diminished.

“That is our only option,” the Heavenly Cave Lord sighed. “Post scouts to monitor the realm and alert us the moment he leaves.” He then paused, adding with a heavy heart, “But with Brother Blood in his hands, I fear the worst...”

After a short while, the silence of the deep cosmos returned.

During his refinement of the Innate Demon God Power, Yang Xiaotian issued a decree throughout the Ancestor Dragon Realm: he was offering Fourteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Ancestor Pills in exchange for Kaitian Level Dao Foundation Stones.

He offered a staggering one hundred Fourteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Ancestor Pills for every single complete Kaitian Level Dao Foundation Stone brought to him.

This was currently his most efficient method for gathering the stones he required.

If he were to search for them personally, it might take him two or three centuries to collect a sufficient amount.

The announcement sent shockwaves through the various powers across the myriad realms.

The value of a Fourteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Ancestor Pill was peerless.

The prospect of gaining a hundred such pills for a single Kaitian Level Dao Foundation Stone drove many organizations into a frenzy of activity.

Consequently, sects and clans from all over began scouring their private vaults, bringing their Kaitian Level Dao Foundation Stones to the Ancestor Dragon Realm to trade with Yang Xiaotian.

Even those who didn't possess any went to great lengths to acquire them from others.

A massive search for these stones rippled across the Eternal Realm.

In a mere decade, Yang Xiaotian managed to acquire dozens of Kaitian Level Dao Foundation Stones through trade.

This success saved him an immense amount of time that would have otherwise been spent on Dao comprehension.

However, after those first ten years, the influx of traders stopped, as it seemed everyone willing to trade had already done so.

A century passed in the blink of an eye.

By the time Yang Xiaotian had fully integrated the Blood Cave Lord’s Innate Demon God Power, his understanding of the Kaitian Level Dao had surpassed ten million strands.

In fact, it reached exactly twelve million nine hundred and sixty thousand.

This was the absolute pinnacle of the Dao.

While ten million strands of Kaitian Level Dao could manifest a Kaitian Level Dao Tree, it would not be the ultimate version. Only the count of twelve million nine hundred and sixty thousand represented the strongest possible Dao Tree.

Having reached this limit, Yang Xiaotian began the process of condensing his Dao Tree.

The Dao surrounding him began to intertwine and fuse, slowly manifesting into a massive, towering trunk.

As the fusion continued, the trunk grew increasingly sturdy and vibrant, stretching upward toward the very roof of the world.

Once the fusion was complete, a colossal Dao Tree stood behind him, its height reaching into the depths of the Vault of Heaven, appearing to bridge the gap between the cosmos and the earth.

The canopy was so vast it seemed capable of shattering the Secret Realm space where he meditated.

Wisps of Xuanhuang Qi, Primordial Qi, and Origin Qi began to drift down from the branches of the Dao Tree.

While all three are Kaitian Level Spiritual Energies, Origin Qi is considered superior to Primordial Qi, being the most ancient and fundamental energy of the universe.

Sitting in the lotus position beneath the tree, Yang Xiaotian absorbed the falling Origin Qi. It transformed into Holy Power within him, rapidly pushing his cultivation to the absolute limit of the Tenth Layer Peak of the Holy Emperor Realm.

With a surge of will, Yang Xiaotian directed his Holy Power to assault the bottleneck of the Saint Ancestor Realm.

Boom!

The barrier shattered almost instantly.

Following his breakthrough, the Saint Ancestor Tribulation Thunder manifested in the skies.

Adhering to his usual method, Yang Xiaotian endured the first ten waves of lightning with his bare skin, using the destructive energy to further refine his physical body.

Utilizing the sheer strength of his Fourteen Defying Heaven Holy Body, he easily crushed the final wave of lightning. He then absorbed the remaining energy, successfully solidifying his status in the Saint Ancestor Realm.

Rather than ending his seclusion immediately, Yang Xiaotian continued his training by consuming Ancestor Dragon Fruits.

He had fifteen fruits remaining from his original stock of eighteen.

However, now that he had reached the Saint Ancestor Realm, the potency of the fruits was significantly reduced. After finishing all fifteen, his cultivation only climbed to the Saint Ancestor Fourth Layer.

While Yang Xiaotian was busy with his fruits, Master Ding was utilizing the Origin Qi from the Dao Tree to restore his own vitality, eventually regaining the power of the Eighth Strike of Epoch.

An Eighth Strike of Epoch was a level of power that could rival the First Demon.

This meant that even if Yang Xiaotian ventured into the Primordial Demon World now, he no longer had to fear the First Demon.

With his cultivation stable at the Saint Ancestor Fourth Layer, Yang Xiaotian finally concluded his seclusion.

Walking out of the chamber, he took a deep breath and stretched under the warm sun, feeling a sense of relaxation and mental clarity he had never known before.

This was the evolution of the Divine Soul that accompanied the transition to a Saint Ancestor.

Once outside, Yang Xiaotian gave orders to gather the necessary materials for Heavenly Dao Realm Elixirs. Now that he was a Saint Ancestor and a master of his own territory, he possessed the capability to refine them.

With these Heavenly Dao Realm Elixirs, his allies—the Primordial Universe Taoist, the Destroying Heaven Demon, and the Blood Demon Old Monster—could significantly accelerate their own growth.
