Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2124 - 1124: Lord of Two Realms

Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
After sensing a monumental shift in the Primordial Demon World, the First Demon and the Blood Ancestor flee their respective domains in a state of panic. Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian emerges from seclusion having successfully achieved the Thirty-Fourth Layer of the Primordial Demon Holy Body. To the shock of his allies, he reveals he has also refined the Primordial Demon World Origin, breaking an ancient curse by mastering the origins of two separate realms. Seeking to settle old scores, Yang Xiaotian leads his group directly to the First Demon Palace to confront his enemies. Despite the Black and White Sword Demon’s taunts and the activation of the realm’s most powerful defensive array, Yang Xiaotian demonstrates his new god-like authority over the world. With a single gesture, he shatters the palace's defenses and crushes the opposing army, leaving his foes in utter disbelief at his overwhelming power.

The Black and White Sword Demon froze mid-sentence.

A terrifying realization had just struck him.

"You have seized control of the Primordial Demon World Origin!" His complexion turned a ghostly, deathly white.

With a mere gesture, the First Demon Array had been dissolved; with another, the concentrated might of the First Demon Palace’s entire legion was neutralized; and with a single strike, he had been left on the brink of death.

Despite these feats, Yang Xiaotian was clearly nothing more than a Saint Ancestor.

What could explain this?

The only conclusion was that Yang Xiaotian had successfully refined and assimilated the Primordial Demon World Origin. The overwhelming strength he had just displayed was drawn directly from the core of the Primordial Demon World itself.

Only such a power could allow a mere Saint Ancestor like Yang Xiaotian to achieve the impossible.

As the words of the Black and White Sword Demon echoed, every soldier of the demon army who had been charging at Yang Xiaotian skidded to a halt. Fear paralyzed them, their faces drained of color as they stood awkwardly, not knowing what to do with their weapons.

Had Yang Xiaotian truly mastered the Primordial Demon World Origin?

If so, didn't that make him their new...?

Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian made a grasping motion toward the void. The Black and White Sword Demon felt the space surrounding him constrict violently, dragging his body toward Yang Xiaotian against his will.

He tried desperately to circulate his holy power, but his efforts were entirely futile.

Yang Xiaotian seized the Black and White Sword Demon, holding him captive as he surveyed the massive demon army surrounding them. "Kneel!" he commanded. The shout resonated like the explosion of a billion divine thunders.

A crushing, limitless pressure descended upon the battlefield.

The entire demon legion fell to their knees simultaneously.

A sense of impending doom saturated the atmosphere.

It felt as though the world itself would shatter if Yang Xiaotian’s temper flared.

Only in this moment did the demon soldiers truly grasp the horrifying weight of a Realm Lord’s fury.

"Your Majesty, please show mercy!"

"We offer our humble respects to the Realm Lord, Your Majesty!"

The high-ranking commanders within the demon ranks cried out, their voices trembling with absolute terror.

While they had once been devoted to the First Demon, loyalty meant nothing in the face of this reality.

Yang Xiaotian had already refined and assimilated the Primordial Demon World Origin; he was now the undisputed master of this realm!

He was the sovereign of their entire world!

Yang Xiaotian shifted his gaze toward the Black and White Sword Demon.

The demon’s face remained ashen. He could no longer mask the dread consuming his soul, having never experienced such intense panic in his life.

The fact that Yang Xiaotian had successfully refined and assimilated the Primordial Demon World Origin to become its master was something he had never even considered possible.

Hadn't the Master of the Holy Realm declared that no being in existence could refine the origins of two separate realms at the same time?

Suddenly, he recalled how the First Demon Lord had fled the First Demon Palace in a frantic state not long ago.

He had found the sudden departure bizarre at the time, but now the reason for the First Demon Lord’s desperate escape was painfully clear.

"Your Majesty, I beg for your mercy," the Black and White Sword Demon forced out through gritted teeth, his expression one of desperate sincerity as he pleaded with Yang Xiaotian.

Knowing that Yang Xiaotian had refined and assimilated the Primordial Demon World Origin, he no longer dared to show even a hint of his former arrogance.

"Do you honestly believe I would spare your life?" Yang Xiaotian’s gaze was frigid.

Terrified, the Black and White Sword Demon opened his mouth to respond, but Yang Xiaotian simply tightened his fist. The Sword Demon was instantly pulverized. In a single heartbeat, his physical form, his divine soul, his grotto heaven, his holy spirit, and his very Dao were reduced to nothing but drifting dust.

The kneeling demon soldiers turned even paler, pressing their foreheads to the dirt and barely daring to draw breath.

Yang Xiaotian released his divine soul power, casting a net across the entire First Demon Palace. His perception reached into every hidden corner and sub-space within the structure.

However, the First Demon was nowhere to be found.

After interrogating a commander of the demon army, Yang Xiaotian discovered that the First Demon had vanished days ago. No one knew his destination.

Yang Xiaotian calculated the timing and realized the First Demon had likely fled the moment he began to refine and assimilate the Primordial Demon World Origin.

It appeared the First Demon had sensed the shift and anticipated the outcome.

Accompanied by his allies from the Abyss of Darkness, Yang Xiaotian entered the First Demon Palace.

The palace was riddled with complex restrictions placed by the First Demon, but to the current Yang Xiaotian, these barriers were trivial. No matter how formidable the seal, a simple flick of his finger reduced it to ash.

Eventually, Yang Xiaotian reached the main treasure vault. With a single palm strike against the air, he shattered the vault's massive doors.

Because the First Demon had fled in such a panic, he had been unable to take the bulk of his hoard, leaving behind a mountain of demon-system elixirs and divine medicines.

Since most of the elixirs were useless to him, Yang Xiaotian distributed them among his master, the Primordial Universe Taoist, and the others from the Abyss of Darkness.

Regarding the divine medicines, the First Demon had already made off with anything aged seven hundred million years or older.

The remaining stock, ranging from five to six hundred million years, held little value for Yang Xiaotian's current needs.

Following this, Yang Xiaotian made his way to the Blood Prison.

Matching the First Demon’s cowardice, the Blood Ancestor had also vanished before Yang Xiaotian’s arrival, leaving his palace and a partially emptied treasury behind.

Yang Xiaotian razed the Blood Prison Palace to the ground and claimed what remained of the treasures.

Meanwhile, the staggering news that Yang Xiaotian had refined and assimilated the Primordial Demon World Origin to become the new Realm Lord spread like a wildfire through the Primordial Demon World and across the surrounding realms.

The shockwaves felt across the various worlds were unprecedented.

A roar of primal fury even erupted from the depths of the Master of the Holy Realm’s palace.

Conversely, the World Academy was in a state of wild celebration.

The Ancestor Dragon Realm was similarly engulfed in excitement.

Once Yang Xiaotian’s status as the master of the Primordial Demon World was solidified, the rulers of various empires and the primordial ancestors of the major demon Sects—along with old demons, ancient demons, and supreme demons—all flocked to pay him homage.

Even the Rain Demon from the Demon Territory arrived, bringing the Star Storm Demon along. Both knelt before Yang Xiaotian, remaining prostrate for a long time, not daring to look up.

In the succeeding days, Yang Xiaotian took up residence in the First Demon Palace to cultivate, drawing upon the vast resources of the entire Primordial Demon World.

During this time, he ordered the collection of Primordial Demon Holy Water to nourish the Innate Demon Tree.

He had hoped that a sufficient supply of the holy water would force the tree to mature rapidly and produce Innate Demon Fruits, which he could use to fuel his next breakthrough.

Unfortunately, Primordial Demon Holy Water proved to be exceedingly rare. Even with his vast influence, the amount gathered over several years was disappointing.

Consequently, Yang Xiaotian redirected his followers to search for any leads on Eight-Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicines.

Such treasures had virtually vanished from the world; the last recorded sighting in the Primordial Demon World was millions of years ago. Since then, no trace of such a medicine had been found.

Locating an Eight-Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine seemed like an impossible task.

"Your Majesty, there is word regarding an Eight-Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine!" On that day, the Destroying Heaven Demon hurried into the hall, his voice thick with excitement.

"An Eight-Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine?" Yang Xiaotian felt a surge of adrenaline. Having already reached the Ninth Layer of the Saint Ancestor realm through the Primordial Demon World’s resources, a medicine of that caliber would surely push him into the Tenth Layer.

"Where is it?" Yang Xiaotian demanded immediately.

"Reports say that an Eight-Hundred-Million-Year Bright Heavenly Ginseng has been sighted in the Bright Heavenly Realm!" the Destroying Heaven Demon reported eagerly.

Yang Xiaotian was stunned. "The Bright Heavenly Ginseng!"

He recalled reading about this plant in Long Yi’s personal records. It was considered the Supreme King of all divine medicines in the Bright Heavenly Realm, a treasure born from the very Origin of that world.

Long Yi had encountered a Bright Heavenly Ginseng in the past but had found it impossible to catch. If the reports were true, could the same elusive treasure Long Yi saw back then have finally resurfaced?
