Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2119: It’s Impossible to Refine and Assimilate the Primordial Demon World Origin
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
The Master of the Holy Realm listened to the group's persuasion, his gaze shifting with uncertainty as he struggled to reach a conclusion.
"However, many years ago, I swore a sacred oath before the Creator Lord. I promised not to interfere unless I was directly provoked," the Master of the Holy Realm said, hesitating.
Chen Mo, the elder of the Holy Realm Academy’s Punishment Hall, proposed, "In that case, we should target Yang Xiaotian’s followers first and eliminate them! If Yang Xiaotian strikes back, it will be viewed as an act of provocation against Your Majesty."
"Then, Your Majesty’s intervention would be entirely justified."
Another elder chimed in, "Exactly. Even if the pretext is a bit thin, the Creator Lord might not necessarily punish you even if Your Majesty truly kills Yang Xiaotian!"
"After all, Your Majesty is a registered disciple of the Creator Lord."
The Master of the Holy Realm shook his head in disagreement.
While the Creator Lord might overlook actions against others, Yang Xiaotian held the titles of Junior Academy Head of the World Academy and the Son of the World.
If he were to execute Yang Xiaotian using various excuses, the Creator Lord would certainly not remain a passive observer.
Unless.
The Dominance Battle of the Eternal Realm List was drawing near; if Yang Xiaotian set foot upon the Eternal Realm Battlefield at that time, he could be killed without the Master of the Holy Realm fearing retribution from the Creator Lord.
After all, upon entering the Eternal Realm Battlefield, one's life and death are left to fate and one's own capability.
"The Eternal Realm Battlefield is set to open soon. Do you believe Yang Xiaotian will participate?" the Master of the Holy Realm suddenly inquired.
The gathered crowd from the Holy Realm Academy was momentarily stunned.
"Does Your Majesty intend to slay Yang Xiaotian within the Eternal Realm Battlefield?" Elder Chen Mo’s eyes flashed with excitement.
"Once the Eternal Realm Battlefield is accessible, any master above the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm may enter. Given Yang Xiaotian’s Cultivation speed, he will surely reach the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm within a few thousand years," another elder speculated. "With his competitive spirit, he will undoubtedly enter the Eternal Realm Battlefield!"
"However, if Yang Xiaotian attains the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm and subsequently refines the Primordial Demon World Origin, he would possess the origins of two realms. In that case, killing him in the Eternal Realm Battlefield would be difficult for Your Majesty," the elder from the Mission Hall pointed out.
The Master of the Holy Realm shook his head. "Inside the Eternal Realm Battlefield, Yang Xiaotian’s capacity to draw upon the power of the Primordial Demon World and the Ancestor Dragon Realm Origins is restricted. Provided he has not reached the Unity Realm Stage, I am certain I can kill him!"
"Furthermore, he is incapable of refining the Primordial Demon World Origin."
"There is no one in this world who can assimilate the Primordial Demon World Origin!"
"Even with a Thirty-Four Layer Primordial Demon Holy Body, he would fail to refine it."
The Master of the Holy Realm spoke with absolute conviction.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian was seated cross-legged at the base of the Great Rift Valley, as currents of Primordial Demon Energy surged relentlessly into his body.
As he continued the process of refinement and assimilation, the Primordial Demon Holy Power within him intensified significantly.
His Primordial Demon Holy Body, which had been at the Thirty-First Layer, finally made the breakthrough to the Thirty-Second Layer.
However, once the Primordial Demon Holy Body reached the Thirty-Second Layer, the volume of Primordial Demon Energy required became staggering. By this time, the energy at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley had been largely depleted by his voracious absorption.
Consequently, the remaining Primordial Demon Energy deep within the Great Rift Valley was likely insufficient to push Yang Xiaotian’s Primordial Demon Holy Body to the Thirty-Fourth Layer.
Through persistent engulfing and assimilation, the Primordial Demon Energy at the base of the Great Rift Valley was eventually completely consumed by Yang Xiaotian.
With the Primordial Demon Energy gone, the depths of the Great Rift Valley became noticeably clearer and more luminous.
Yang Xiaotian ceased his Cultivation.
During this session, his Primordial Demon Holy Body had seen a major improvement. Unfortunately, despite draining all the Primordial Demon Energy in the valley, his Holy Body had only reached the Late Stage of the Thirty-Third Layer.
He was just a step away from the Thirty-Fourth Layer.
If he could not find more Primordial Demon Energy to aid his Cultivation, it might take another four to five hundred years for his Primordial Demon Holy Body to reach the Thirty-Fourth Layer.
"You should pay a visit to the Imperial Capital of the Great Rift Empire," Master Ding suggested. "In that city, it is quite common for people to trade in Primordial Demon Energy."
Yang Xiaotian nodded in agreement.
He had also heard rumors that Primordial Demon Energy was frequently sold in the Imperial Capital of the Great Rift Empire.
Even if the quantities available were small, it was worth investigating.
If he could acquire some Primordial Demon Energy, it would significantly shorten the time needed to develop his Primordial Demon Holy Body.
Thus, Yang Xiaotian activated his Space-Time abilities and instantly vanished from the Great Rift Valley.
After departing, Yang Xiaotian checked in with the Abyss of Darkness and the Destroying Heaven Demon regarding the activities of the First Demon and the Blood Ancestor during recent years.
"Since the First Demon and the Blood Ancestor last left, there has been no news of them; they appear to be in secluded Cultivation," the Destroying Heaven Demon replied.
They had been keeping a close watch on the duo's movements all these years.
They had initially feared that the First Demon and the Blood Ancestor would join forces again to send an army to hunt down His Majesty, but the pair had remained silent.
Yang Xiaotian wondered if the First Demon and the Blood Ancestor had truly given up on their mission to kill him.
That seemed highly unlikely.
"And what of the Master of the Holy Realm?" Yang Xiaotian inquired.
"There has been no movement from the Master of the Holy Realm either," the Destroying Heaven Demon said, shaking his head. "However, some say he is certain that Your Majesty cannot refine the Primordial Demon World Origin."
"They claim that even if your Primordial Demon Holy Body reaches the Thirty-Fourth Layer, assimilation remains impossible."
"Strangely, many people are currently discussing the upcoming Eternal Realm Battlefield."
Yang Xiaotian’s interest was piqued. "The Eternal Realm Battlefield."
Although the opening of the battlefield was still a few millennia away, the sudden surge in discussion felt suspicious.
He began to vaguely grasp the plans of the Master of the Holy Realm, the First Demon, and the Blood Ancestor.
It appeared they were waiting for the Eternal Realm Battlefield to make their move against him.
Inside that battlefield, he would be unable to rely on Master Ding’s strength.
Did the First Demon and the Blood Ancestor believe they could easily finish him off once they were inside the Eternal Realm Battlefield?
Yang Xiaotian let out a cold sneer.
Even if he failed to refine the Primordial Demon World Origin and could not become its Master, there were still thousands of years before the battlefield opened. It was impossible to predict how powerful he would become by then.
Did the Master of the Holy Realm and the First Demon truly believe his growth would stop at the Heavenly Dao Realm?
Shortly after, Yang Xiaotian and his companions left the Great Rift Valley, traveling toward the Imperial Capital of the Great Rift Empire.
The capital was located very close to the valley, and the group arrived in less than half a day.
The Imperial Capital of the Great Rift Empire was far more stable than the Demon Territory, and the streets were filled with a sense of thriving prosperity.
Yang Xiaotian instructed the group to look for information regarding Primordial Demon Energy.
Before long, the Destroying Heaven Demon and the others returned with a joyful report. "Your Majesty, we have good news! The Holy King Chamber of Commerce is preparing to auction a collection of Primordial Demon Energy very soon."
The Holy King Chamber of Commerce was the preeminent merchant group in the Primordial Demon World.
"Oh? What is the quantity they are auctioning?" Yang Xiaotian asked with interest.
"The exact amount hasn't been officially declared yet, but it is expected to be significant. Some rumors suggest ten million strands, while others claim twenty million," the Destroying Heaven Demon said. "It should certainly exceed ten million!"
Hope flared within Yang Xiaotian. Since his Primordial Demon Holy Body was currently at the Late Stage of the Thirty-Third Layer, twenty million strands of Primordial Demon Energy might be exactly what he needed to break through to the Thirty-Fourth Layer.
