Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2144: 2144: Then So Be It

Yet, right when the Golden Treant Ancestor prepared to hand them over, Yang Xiaotian spoke up, “Elder Huang, are there additional Golden Holy Fruits available? If yes, I’d like to trade for some Fourteen Tribulations Heavenly Grade Harmonization Pills.”

The Golden Treant Ancestor displayed a look of reluctance: “Your Majesty, it’s not that we refuse the trade, but our Golden Treant tribe possesses only these remaining thirty-six Golden Holy Fruits.”

Yang Xiaotian had held high hopes at first, yet this revelation left him deeply let down, and he replied with a grin, “No worries, I get it.”

Next, the Golden Treant Ancestor passed the thirty-six Golden Holy Fruits to Yang Xiaotian.

The Golden Treant Ancestor warmly welcomed Yang Xiaotian and his group to partake in their celebration and pressed him to linger a bit longer within their tribe.

Yang Xiaotian accepted the invitation without hesitation and joined the Golden Treant tribe’s grand banquet.

At the feast, Yang Xiaotian questioned the Golden Treant Ancestor regarding the Creation Spirit Root.

Given that his Innate Holy Spirit had lost connection in this very spot, the Golden Treant Ancestor could potentially hold some clues.

When Yang Xiaotian brought up the Creation Spirit Root, the Golden Treant Ancestor appeared briefly startled before pondering his words: “Our Golden Treant tribe harbors a forbidden zone that truly contains a vast number of Creation Spirit Roots, though a strange energy envelops it, rendering entry quite challenging.”

“For someone like me, venturing inside means risking everything.”

Yang Xiaotian felt shocked, discovering that the Golden Treant tribe hid such a dangerous forbidden area, one that even the Golden Treant Ancestor—a top figure on the Eternal Realm List and a supreme ruler among rulers—deemed deadly.

This revelation only fueled Yang Xiaotian’s intense interest in the forbidden zone.

“Could Elder Huang possibly lead me there?” Yang Xiaotian asked, presenting one hundred Fourteen Tribulations Heavenly Grade Harmonization Pills to show his sincerity.

Seeing the proffered pills left the Golden Treant Ancestor stunned, and he hastily refused: “Your Majesty, that’s far too valuable. We cannot harvest the Creation Spirit Roots from that forbidden area anyway, and it holds no value for us. Should you manage to obtain them, they belong to you by right.”

Still, Yang Xiaotian insisted that the Golden Treant Ancestor take the hundred pills.

The Golden Treant Ancestor received the elixirs and expressed his gratitude to Yang Xiaotian with a respectful bow.

Following that, the Golden Treant Ancestor guided Yang Xiaotian and his followers toward the forbidden area.

After traversing numerous peaks, they reached the gateway to the forbidden area as outlined by the Golden Treant Ancestor.

The forbidden zone resembled a realm of blazing lava, with the molten rock churning endlessly and erupting diverse flames from its depths.

“Destructive Spirit Holy Fire!” Spotting one particular blaze, even battle-hardened experts like Rain Demon and the Abyss of Darkness showed visible alarm.

For beings of their stature, threats were rare, but the Destructive Spirit Holy Fire ranked among the deadliest exceptions.

Confronted by the Destructive Spirit Holy Fire alongside countless other infernos, Rain Demon, the Abyss of Darkness, and their companions sensed a chill run down their spines.

Yang Xiaotian’s face grew grave as well.

He detected that beyond these flames, an enigmatic force lingered within the magma, one that could slice through space itself.

Whatever plunged into the magma faced this relentless space-slicing assault.

This slicing power proved utterly horrifying, which clarified why the Golden Treant Ancestor viewed entry as a gamble with his life.

“This marks the spot.” The Golden Treant Ancestor gazed at the magma ahead with evident dread and warned Yang Xiaotian: “Beneath this magma lies an abundance of Creation Spirit Roots, yet the peril is immense—not just from the Destructive Spirit Holy Fire, but from myriad fearsome flames and space-slicing energies as well.”

“Your Majesty, please take care!”

Though he knew Yang Xiaotian now reigned as the Three Realms Lord, the Golden Treant Ancestor couldn’t help issuing the alert.

Yang Xiaotian consulted Master Ding about their chances.

In the Xuanhuang Great World, his access to the Power of Three Realms Origin remained restricted, forcing reliance on Master Ding’s might.

“I can guide you inside, but we can remain no longer than a quarter of an hour!” Master Ding answered: “Beyond that, we’ll have to withdraw.”

Despite Master Ding’s formidable power, he could endure only a quarter of an hour, underscoring the magma’s sheer menace.

“Once we leave, how much time before we can return?” Yang Xiaotian inquired.

“One hour,” Master Ding stated after brief reflection.

One hour allowed for about twenty entries per day.

Without delay, Yang Xiaotian called forth the Nine Great Chaotic Holy Fire and, alongside Master Ding, plunged into the magma.

Master Ding’s golden barrier expanded outward, repelling every space-slicing attack.

The slicing forces hammered against the golden barrier nonstop, producing piercing clashes.

Master Ding’s golden barrier shuddered violently under the onslaught.

Yang Xiaotian wasted no time, unleashing the Fifteen Defying Heaven Holy Body to pierce the magma and descend to its depths.

The magma’s layer proved dense and resisted fiercely, demanding that Yang Xiaotian plunge a full ten thousand feet to touch the lower realm.

Arriving in the bottom realm, he stood frozen in awe.

Strands of Creation Spirit Root drifted like playful sprites through the magma’s lower space, casting a radiant glow over everything.

What quantity of Creation Spirit Roots existed there?

No fewer than hundreds of thousands!

Yang Xiaotian’s pulse quickened.

As a holder of two million Innate Holy Spirits already, adding eighty thousand more Creation Spirit Roots would elevate his Innate Holy Spirit count to ten million.

Eighty thousand were definitely present!

With that, Yang Xiaotian threw himself wholly into gathering these Creation Spirit Roots.

Yet, the Creation Spirit Roots wove deeply into the magma’s lower space, complicating their removal. Yang Xiaotian managed to extract them individually.

A quarter of an hour later, as he and Master Ding surfaced from the magma’s depths, he had secured merely a hundred Creation Spirit Roots.

An hour passed, and once Master Ding restored his energy, Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding dove back into the magma’s lower space.

Word of Yang Xiaotian’s arrival in the Xuanhuang Great World had already roused the region’s mighty forces.

Numerous powerhouses from the Xuanhuang Great World arrived to offer homage.

But with his focus on harvesting Creation Spirit Roots, Yang Xiaotian turned away all who sought him.

“Your Majesty, a person called Lin Jie waits outside, declaring himself the senior disciple of the Xuanhuang Holy Master and requesting to meet you.” The next day, as Yang Xiaotian rose from the magma’s depths, Rain Demon informed him.

For lesser visitors, he wouldn’t have bothered Yang Xiaotian, but the Xuanhuang Holy Master stood as the supreme master of the Xuanhuang Great World, making his disciple’s visit worth noting.

“Did the Xuanhuang Holy Master dispatch him?” Yang Xiaotian wondered.

“He made no such claim, so likely not,” Rain Demon answered, shaking his head.

“In that case, no meeting is necessary.” Yang Xiaotian brushed it off while resting with Master Ding to recuperate.

In the meantime, Lin Jie, lingering in the Golden Treant hall, heard of Yang Xiaotian’s refusal and wore a faintly irritated look. He had journeyed there to swap his valuables for some Fourteen Tribulations Heavenly Grade Harmonization Pills from Yang Xiaotian.

He never imagined Yang Xiaotian would deny him even a brief audience.
