Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2139: 2139: Heavenly Dao Saint Realm

Myriad ancient powerhouses from the Bright Heavenly Realm surged toward Cold Smoke Ancient City, desperate to reveal the hidden truths.

Yet, the overwhelming might of Yang Xiaotian and his ally kept everyone at bay; no one managed to draw near the city without being pushed back.

This clash shook the very foundations of heaven and earth.

The whole Bright Heavenly Realm quaked in response.

The fierce struggle continued without pause, from dawn till dusk.

After enduring a full day and night, the enraged voice of the Holy Realm's Master boomed across the Bright Heavenly Realm's skies: “Yang Xiaotian, when you dare return to the Holy Realm, I will definitely strike you down!”

Right after that outburst, the Master's formidable energy withdrew like an ebbing wave and faded away completely.

As the Master pulled back, the Bright Heavenly Realm, which had been engulfed in chaos, gradually regained its stability.

It was only then that the innumerable inhabitants of the Bright Heavenly Realm snapped out of their stunned state.

Yang Xiaotian observed the Holy Realm Master's withdrawal with icy detachment, making no move to pursue.

Though his present power held the advantage, seizing the Master remained out of reach.

Still, this confrontation allowed him to gauge the Master's strength more accurately.

He had to advance to the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm without delay.

Once he achieved the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm, even if the Master tried to escape today, it would come at a heavy cost.

Yang Xiaotian soared away into the heavens.

This showdown was certain to ignite waves of discussion throughout the Eternal Realm.

“What? Yang Xiaotian has refined the Bright Heavenly Realm Origin Power! He’s ascended to become the Three Realms Master! He even repelled the Holy Realm's Master, driving him off!” Cheng Zhan, the World Academy elder who had pushed to strip Yang Xiaotian of his Son of the World title, stood utterly dumbfounded.

Li Quan and Liao Yuan were both gripped by terror and unease.

“How could Yang Xiaotian refine the Bright Heavenly Realm Origin Power? Isn’t it impossible for anyone in this world to refine the Origin of two realms?! What on earth is happening?” Li Quan shook uncontrollably.

Before, the Holy Realm's Master had declared it impossible for Yang Xiaotian to refine the Primordial Demon World Origin, but now he had gone ahead and refined the Bright Heavenly Realm Origin too!

He had claimed lordship over the Three Realms!

What an earth-shattering development.

“Yang Xiaotian, doesn’t that make him the top figure in the Eternal Realm?” Liao Yuan felt a weight pressing on his chest.

Cheng Zhan drew in a deep breath to steady the storm raging inside him and declared, “Not quite! He dominates only in the Bright Heavenly Realm, the Primordial Demon World, and the Ancestor Dragon Realm; he can’t claim the top spot in the entire Eternal Realm!”

Li Quan chimed in, “Exactly, Yang Xiaotian doesn’t qualify as the Eternal Realm's number one. If he stepped into the Eternal Realm Battlefield, he wouldn’t even rank on the Eternal Realm List!”

“That said, who could have foreseen Yang Xiaotian rising as the Three Realms Master!” Liao Yuan remarked solemnly.

“Even as the Three Realms Master, so what? He still won’t set foot in the Holy Realm. If he does, he’s finished!” Li Quan scoffed.

In that instant, Yang Xiaotian released the seals within the bodies of the Bright Saint Clan and Sun God Tribe experts, then journeyed to the Bright Saint Clan’s domain alongside Rain Demon and the Abyss of Darkness crew.

Inside the Bright Saint Clan’s Secret Realm there, he entered closed-door cultivation, aiming to shatter into the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Having already reached the peak late stage of the Saint Ancestor Tenth Layer, Yang Xiaotian drew on the Bright Heavenly Realm Origin to relentlessly purify and strengthen his Holy Power.

Once his Holy Power hit the absolute peak of the Saint Ancestor Realm, he surged forward in a single breakthrough to the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm, summoning the Tribulation Thunder of the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm.

Naturally, as the Bright Heavenly Realm Master, the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm Tribulation Thunder posed no real challenge to Yang Xiaotian—it was merely a minor annoyance.

With ease, Yang Xiaotian overcame the Heavenly Dao Saint Tribulation, drawing in the thunder's essence, and firmly stepped into the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm.

“At last, I’ve broken through to the Heavenly Dao Realm!” Yang Xiaotian exhaled in satisfaction.

Now in the Heavenly Dao Realm, his control over the three realms’ origins would grow far more potent.

Should the Holy Realm's Master invade the Bright Heavenly Realm once more, fleeing wouldn’t be straightforward.

Nevertheless, with his current level of power, venturing into the Eternal Realm Battlefield still left him somewhat short.

The contenders in the Eternal Realm Battlefield were the elite geniuses from vast superpowers, each able to leap realms in battle. Even wielding the origins of three major realms, the First of Eternity Heart, and the Primordial Cave Heaven, breaking onto the Eternal Realm List would probably demand reaching the Heavenly Dao Tenth Layer.

“Reaching the Heavenly Dao Tenth Layer won’t suffice,” Master Ding advised, “Even then, you must nurture a hundred million Holy Spirits.”

“A hundred million Holy Spirits!” Yang Xiaotian burst out.

During his earlier fight with the Holy Realm's Master, calling forth millions of Holy Spirits had been impressive enough, but Master Ding proposed aiming for a hundred million!

“Millions of Holy Spirits aren’t the ceiling. A full hundred million Holy Spirits marks the true pinnacle!” Master Ding explained, “If you aim to ascend to the Creator Realm someday, it’s wise to foster a hundred million Holy Spirits.”

“The Holy Realm's Master failed to cultivate a hundred million Holy Spirits, but with your First of Eternity Heart and Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body, you can achieve it.”

Yang Xiaotian gave a nod.

That said, forging a Holy Spirit proved no simple task.

Countless prodigies spent years, or even longer, to birth just one Holy Spirit.

Producing a hundred million might demand billions, or tens of billions, of years!

An endless span of time.

“Given your exceptional talent, crafting a single Holy Spirit takes you just a day.” Master Ding noted.

For typical geniuses, years passed to create a Holy Spirit, yet for Yang Xiaotian, a mere day sufficed—still, that would mean hundreds of thousands of years for a hundred million?

And the Eternal Realm Battlefield loomed in a mere few thousand years.

Thus, through standard practice, even Yang Xiaotian’s swift progress wouldn’t yield a hundred million Holy Spirits before the Eternal Realm Battlefield commenced.

Yet, a method existed to accelerate Holy Spirit cultivation, provided he located the Creation Spirit Root.

“Creation Spirit Root.” Yang Xiaotian mused.

The Creation Spirit Root was truly scarce.

More elusive than a seven-hundred-million-year-old Divine Medicine, though less rare than an eight-hundred-million-year-old one.

Certain realms lacked even a single eight-hundred-million-year-old Divine Medicine, and the Bright Heavenly Realm possessed only the Bright Heavenly Ginseng and the Dark Heartless Fruit.

As for the Creation Spirit Root, a thorough search in the Bright Heavenly Realm might uncover a few.

Admittedly, not in great numbers.

Therefore, right after ending his seclusion, Yang Xiaotian’s priority became enlisting the Bright Heavenly Realm, the Primordial Demon World, and the Ancestor Dragon Realm to hunt for the Creation Spirit Root.

Of course, this wasn’t a gratis endeavor; for every Creation Spirit Root discovered, he promised a Fourteen Tribulations Heavenly Grade Harmonization Pill in return!

A Fourteen Tribulations Heavenly Grade Harmonization Pill, mind you—not a Fourteen Tribulations Heavenly Dao Pill!

Remember, the Harmonization Pill ranked as the supreme tier among elixirs.

Above it lay only the Creation Pill, which to this day, solely the Creator Lord could produce, making the Harmonization Pill the acknowledged zenith of pillcraft.

A Fourteen Tribulations Heavenly Grade Harmonization Pill was so extraordinarily scarce that even in the Holy Realm, one might not surface for a million years.

Now, Yang Xiaotian openly dangled such a treasure as a bounty—picture the uproar and thrill that would unleash.

“What, Yang Xiaotian is dangling a Fourteen Tribulations Heavenly Grade Harmonization Pill for anyone who finds a Creation Spirit Root!” Upon hearing this, the Holy Realm's Master was equally stunned—he usually relied on Eleventh Tribulation Heavenly Grade Harmonization Pills for his breakthroughs, and even those were scarce at times, forcing him to settle for Tenth Tribulation variants.

The allure of Yang Xiaotian’s offer proved irresistible even to him.
