Chapter 2122: Beginning to Refine and Assimilate the Primordial Demon World Origin
Gazing at the master from the Southern Border’s Demon Sect and the gathered onlookers, Yang Xiaotian maintained a composed expression as he declared, “That’s right, I am Yang Xiaotian!”
The moment those words were uttered, the Ghost Demon Clan Leader’s complexion turned deathly pale.
The experts of the Ghost Demon Clan stood behind him, their faces as white as a freshly painted wall.
The Young Master of Evil Heart fared only slightly better, though he was clearly shaken.
Following his victory at the top of the Heavenly Pride List, rumors had circulated that the first-place position truly belonged to Yang Xiaotian. Such talk had left him deeply dissatisfied at the time.
He had even publicly announced his desire to spar with Yang Xiaotian back then.
However, those ambitions were quickly discarded once news arrived that Yang Xiaotian had refined the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin and ascended as the Ancestor Dragon Realm Master. The gap between them had become an unbridgeable chasm.
He realized that he and Yang Xiaotian moved in entirely different spheres of existence.
Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that the youth standing before him was the very person he had been obsessed with day and night.
“Are you still demanding that I roll over and surrender the twenty million Primordial Demon Energy?” Yang Xiaotian’s eyes shifted toward the Ghost Demon Clan Leader.
The Clan Leader’s attempt at a smile was more pained than a sob as he forced out a laugh: “Your Majesty is joking. I was ignorant of Your Majesty’s true identity earlier; that is the only reason I dared to be so provocative.”
“Now, even if I were granted ten thousand times my current courage, I would never dare to offend Your Majesty!”
After speaking, he bowed low and produced a Space Ring: “We have some Primordial Demon Energy remaining, which we now offer to Your Majesty. We humbly beg Your Majesty to forgive our ignorance and spare us.”
Yang Xiaotian gave a nod to the Destroying Heaven Demon. Understanding the silent command, the Destroying Heaven Demon stepped forward, took the Space Ring, and presented it to Yang Xiaotian. Upon inspecting the contents, Yang Xiaotian found it packed with Primordial Demon Energy. While it didn't reach twenty million, it totaled several million.
“I will take this,” Yang Xiaotian remarked.
Relief washed over the Ghost Demon Clan Leader, who bowed once more: “Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Yang Xiaotian then turned his attention to the Young Master of Evil Heart: “You are the disciple of the Evil Master?”
The Young Master of Evil Heart grew rigid. He stepped forward with a deep bow, his voice trembling: “Yes, Your Majesty, I am Lin Yue.”
He was baffled as to why Yang Xiaotian would suddenly inquire about his master at a time like this.
Yang Xiaotian did not elaborate. Instead, he turned to the Abyss of Darkness and the others, saying, “Let’s go!” He then took to the skies, departing the area while the various Demon Sect experts remained on their knees in respect.
As Yang Xiaotian vanished from sight, the Ghost Demon Clan Leader felt his strength drain away, replaced by a profound sense of weakness.
While the First Demon and Blood Ancestor were bold enough to hunt Yang Xiaotian, he wouldn't dream of it even with a hundred thousand lives to spare.
Furthermore, it was now common knowledge that even the combined might of the First Demon and Blood Ancestor was insufficient to defeat Yang Xiaotian.
“The Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body,” the Ghost Demon Clan Leader whispered in awe, staring at the horizon where Yang Xiaotian had disappeared.
“Clan Leader, do you believe His Majesty the Ancestor Dragon Realm Master can truly refine our Primordial Demon World Origin?” an elder of the Ghost Demon Clan asked, unable to contain his curiosity.
This question was currently the focal point of every conversation among the powers of the Primordial Demon World.
The most pressing concern wasn't whether the First Demon could slay Yang Xiaotian, but whether Yang Xiaotian could assimilate the Primordial Demon World Origin and become their Realm Master!
“Who can say for sure?” The Ghost Demon Clan Leader shook his head.
Like the Master of the Holy Realm and other supreme beings, he found it hard to believe one person could rule two worlds simultaneously.
Yet, considering the string of miracles Yang Xiaotian had already performed, his skepticism wavered.
Shortly after, the Ghost Demon Clan Leader led his people away from the auction site.
The Young Master of Evil Heart remained behind for a moment, his mind a whirlwind of conflicting emotions as he watched the empty sky.
After departing the Imperial Capital of the Great Rift Empire, Yang Xiaotian sought out a desolate mountain range. He intended to enter seclusion to consume the Primordial Demon Energy acquired at the auction.
The quality of this energy was exceptional. He was confident that by devouring it all, his Primordial Demon Holy Body would reach the Thirty-Fourth Layer.
He was also eager to test if this breakthrough would finally allow him to refine the Primordial Demon World Origin.
The Abyss of Darkness, the Dragon Corpse Beast, and the rest of his companions stood guard, maintaining a vigilant watch over the surrounding area.
They understood the importance of this breakthrough and feared that the First Demon or the Blood Ancestor might attempt an ambush during this vulnerable period.
The years began to slip away.
In what seemed like the blink of an eye, several years had passed.
Yang Xiaotian successfully finished refining every drop of the Primordial Demon Energy from the auction.
Just as he had anticipated, his Primordial Demon Holy Body successfully ascended to the Thirty-Fourth Layer!
During this period of seclusion, the Innate Demon Tree had also flourished, growing dozens of feet tall by absorbing the Innate Demon Qi of the realm.
With his breakthrough complete, Yang Xiaotian immediately channeled the combined power of his Thirty-Fourth Layer Primordial Demon Holy Body and his Thirty-Fourth Layer Innate Demon God Power into the tree.
He utilized the Innate Demon Tree as a medium to sense and track down the Primordial Demon World Origin.
Under the surge of this immense power, the Innate Demon Tree erupted in a dazzling radiance. Its roots pulsed with vibrant life, stretching out across the void into the infinite depths.
A full day passed in this state.
The expansion of the Innate Demon Tree’s roots began to decelerate.
On the second day, just as the roots were about to stop entirely, Yang Xiaotian felt a sensation through the tree—a power that felt both alien and strangely familiar.
It was a resonance similar to the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin Power he had encountered before.
It was the Primordial Demon World Origin!
There was no doubt; he had finally made contact with the source of the world!
Relying on his Thirty-Fourth Layer cultivation and the Innate Demon Tree, he had successfully bridged the gap to the Primordial Demon World Origin Power.
Yang Xiaotian was filled with joy.
Sensing the Origin was the most difficult hurdle; he was now halfway toward claiming the title of Realm Master.
While the tree maintained the connection, he began the arduous process of comprehending the Origin’s mysteries.
As his understanding deepened, Yang Xiaotian’s essence slowly began to merge with the power of the world.
Deep within the mountains, decades passed unnoticed by the cultivator in trance.
One day, while the First Demon was in the midst of his own secluded Cultivation for the Eternal Realm Battlefield, his eyes snapped open. He stared at the Primordial Demon World Vault Of Heaven in confusion. In that instant, he felt a subtle shift in the very fabric of the world's space.
He couldn't quite identify what had changed.
Troubled, he projected his Divine Soul into the Vault Of Heaven once more, but everything seemed to have returned to its natural state. He found nothing out of the ordinary.
Just as he was about to retract his consciousness, a massive surge of energy erupted from the depths of the Vault Of Heaven, far more violent than the previous tremor.
The First Demon’s expression darkened instantly.
What kind of force could cause such a massive disturbance in the space of the Primordial Demon World?
This was something he had never witnessed before.
However, after the initial shockwave, the space suddenly regained its composure. Tranquility returned.
His confusion only grew deeper. He kept his Divine Soul active, searching for a long time, but the world remained still.
As the First Demon sat there pondering the phenomenon, another pulse throbbed from the depths of the Primordial Demon World space—stronger and more aggressive than the last.
The First Demon leapt to his feet, his heart racing.
