Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2160: 2160: Return to the Holy Realm

Yet, when Yang Xiaotian learned from the Demon Clan Holy Ancestor about the location of the Dark Dragon Ancestor Long Ye’s Dragon Body, he couldn't help but frown deeply.

The reason was that the Dark Dragon Ancestor Long Ye’s Dragon Body lay within the Holy Realm's Blue Elephant Continent!

“Holy Realm, Blue Elephant Continent,” he murmured to himself.

Naturally, the Blue Elephant Continent in the Holy Realm held no mysteries for him; after all, he had slain Hou Longxian, Zhao Tianxiang, and various other prodigies from the Hou and Zhao Families of that continent during his time in the Lower Realm's Myriad Realms Battlefield.

Both the Hou Family and the Zhao Family stood as colossal forces dominating the Blue Elephant Continent.

In addition, Emperor Kaiyuan from the Three Pure Continents originated from the Li Family in the Blue Elephant Continent as well.

Once Mad Demon, Rain Demon, and the rest discovered that the Dark Dragon Ancestor Long Ye’s Dragon Body resided in the Holy Realm's Blue Elephant Continent, they too knitted their brows in concern, since the Master of Holy Realm had now placed a death warrant on their sovereign!

Should their sovereign step into the Holy Realm, the Master of Holy Realm would undoubtedly strike without mercy.

Within the Holy Realm itself, the Master of Holy Realm reigned supreme and unbeatable.

After pondering the matter, Yang Xiaotian chose to hold off on venturing to the Holy Realm until Master Ding regained his power up to the level of the Ten Strikes of the Epoch.

Once Master Ding's power reached the Ten Strikes of the Epoch, Yang Xiaotian felt no dread even if the Master of Holy Realm could harness the full might of the Holy Realm Origin Power.

With his choice set, Yang Xiaotian made his way back to the Meng Family, where he joined Meng Bingxue in cultivation.

As they immersed themselves in cultivation, Yang Xiaotian and Meng Bingxue also anticipated the moment when the Tree of Eternal Life and the Innate Demon Tree would finally produce their fruits.

Thanks to an ample supply of Creation Spirit Root, Yang Xiaotian's Innate Holy Spirit grew steadily with each passing day.

After the passage of hundreds of years, his Innate Holy Spirit had reached an astonishing fifty million strands!

Those fifty million strands of Innate Holy Spirit were nothing short of world-shaking in their grandeur.

After all, the Master of Holy Realm commanded only one million Holy Spirits, which were nothing more than ordinary Chaos Holy Spirits, vastly outclassed by the purity of Innate Holy Spirits.

Following hundreds of years of dedicated cultivation atop Heavenly Buddha Mountain, Yang Xiaotian's own cultivation surged forward, advancing into the Heavenly Dao Sixth Layer Realm.

Most crucially, fueled by the relentless flow of Mother Qi, both the Tree of Eternal Life and the Innate Demon Tree at last yielded their fruits!

That said, despite the Tree of Eternal Life and the Innate Demon Tree producing fruit, they yielded just a single fruit each time.

As a result, Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding each consumed one of the fruits.

Yang Xiaotian refined the Innate Demon Fruit for his cultivation, whereas Master Ding took in the Eternal Fruit.

The Innate Demon Fruit's potency far surpassed that of the Ancestor Dragon Fruit; upon fully absorbing just one, Yang Xiaotian witnessed a dramatic leap in his power.

Still, a single Eternal Fruit fell short of restoring Master Ding's strength to the Ten Strikes of the Epoch.

Master Ding figured that no fewer than a dozen Eternal Fruits would be required for that feat.

Luckily, once the Tree of Eternal Life produced its initial batch of Eternal Fruits, subsequent yields became far simpler. Provided with sufficient Mother Qi, it could fruit again once every century.

The next century flew by in an instant, bringing forth the second fruits from the Innate Demon Tree and the Tree of Eternal Life.

Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding pressed on, devouring and refining the fruits in their ongoing cultivation.

In this manner, whenever the Innate Demon Tree and the Tree of Eternal Life ripened with new fruits, Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding would consume them to further their progress.

More than a thousand years elapsed in this cycle.

Having devoured over a dozen Eternal Fruits in succession, Master Ding's power at last returned to the anticipated heights of the Ten Strikes of the Epoch!

Even at the Nine Strikes of the Epoch, Master Ding had been able to drive back the alliance of the First Demon and the Blood Ancestor; now, restored to the Ten Strikes of the Epoch, his might had surged beyond twofold.

In the meantime, across these thousand years of intense cultivation, Yang Xiaotian's Innate Holy Spirit had swelled to ninety million strands!

Ninety million strands of Innate Holy Spirit in total—ninefold the amount wielded by the Master of Holy Realm!

The Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body had completely advanced through all Thirty-Six Layers!

Moreover, bolstered by the influences of the Innate Demon Fruit, the Ancestor Dragon Fruit, and various Holy Fruits, his overall strength had also vaulted into the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Dao Realm!

“Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Dao Realm!” Yang Xiaotian sensed the overwhelmingly dense Holy Power surging inside him.

At this point, it was no overstatement to claim he could effortlessly rip a Unity Realm Tenth Layer expert apart using only his hands!

Any foe short of an Eternal Realm List overlord simply couldn't endure a single blow from his fist!

Upon achieving the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Dao Realm, Yang Xiaotian emerged from seclusion and first tested himself against several Unity Realm Tenth Layer mid-stage powerhouses.

With the Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body unleashed, the strikes from those Unity Realm Tenth Layer mid-stage powerhouses hitting him registered as nothing more than light scratches!

Onlookers from afar gaped in astonishment as Yang Xiaotian stood firm, refusing to budge even under the relentless assault from the Unity Realm Tenth Layer mid-stage powerhouses.

One must realize that Yang Xiaotian relied solely on the Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body's might, yet those Unity Realm Tenth Layer mid-stage powerhouses failed to pierce his defenses at all!

Just how formidable had Yang Xiaotian become now?

“Your Majesty’s power at this moment must surely earn a spot on the Eternal Realm List?!” Rain Demon cried out in awe.

And Yang Xiaotian had only just ascended to the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Dao Realm!

For someone at such a level to match the titans of the Eternal Realm List was utterly unheard of in history.

Should their sovereign reach the peak of the Tenth Layer in the Heavenly Dao Realm, what unimaginable heights might his power climb to?

Next, Yang Xiaotian turned his training toward Unity Realm Tenth Layer late-stage powerhouses.

While Unity Realm Tenth Layer mid-stage powerhouses managed to shove him backward, their efforts stopped there, inflicting zero damage whatsoever.

In the end, Yang Xiaotian engaged in a fierce spar with the Eternal Realm List's Star Storm Demon.

No matter how fiercely the Star Storm Demon unleashed everything he had, the bout ended in a deadlock!

The prowess Yang Xiaotian revealed shattered the earlier predictions held by Rain Demon, Mad Demon, and their companions.

Remember, the Star Storm Demon held a position near the thousandth rank on the Eternal Realm List!

Earlier on, Rain Demon had thought Yang Xiaotian might at best scrape onto the Eternal Realm List.

“Should His Majesty advance to the peak of the Tenth Layer in the Heavenly Dao Realm, could he possibly crack the top hundred on the Eternal Realm List?!” The Abyss of Darkness uttered, his voice laced with undisguised astonishment.

For an individual not yet in the Unity Realm to storm into the Eternal Realm's top hundred—what sort of terrifying battle prowess would that demand?

Having clashed with the Star Storm Demon, Yang Xiaotian gained a solid grasp on his present fighting capabilities.

Deep into the tranquil, starlit night.

Meng Bingxue curled up within Yang Xiaotian’s embrace: “Xiaotian, take care once you arrive in the Holy Realm!”

Despite Yang Xiaotian's assurance that Master Ding's current power matched the Master of Holy Realm at full potency, Meng Bingxue remained anxious.

“Rest easy,” Yang Xiaotian comforted her, “if Master Ding claims confidence, then he truly has it.”

All along this path, Master Ding had never voiced anything without absolute certainty.

“I wonder about the current situations of Sister Qingxuan, Sister Wan Ning, and Sister Ling’er.” Meng Bingxue pondered aloud.

Yang Xiaotian gripped Meng Bingxue’s hand firmly and replied, “Before long, we’ll reunite with Qingxuan, Wan Ning, and Ling’er.”

Once the troubles in the Myriad Realms Battlefield concluded and he vanquished the Master of Holy Realm, he would seize the top spot on the Eternal Realm List, leveraging its prizes to charge toward the Creation Realm!

The instant he stepped into the Creation Realm, every corner of the myriad heavens and worlds would open freely to him.

After that, he could choose freely when to escort Meng Bingxue back to the Lower Realm.

The following morning, bathed in radiant sunlight, Yang Xiaotian departed from the Meng Family amid farewells from all, setting course for the Holy Realm.

On this journey, he traveled solo to the Holy Realm, bringing no companions, for Master Ding's support sufficed; extra followers would merely hinder progress.

With the fusions of the Long Clan Ancestor Long Yi and the Bright Dragon Ancestor Dragon Body already achieved, locating the Long Ye Dragon Body in the Blue Elephant Continent would prove swift, rendering additional aides unnecessary.

Months later, Yang Xiaotian pierced the Holy Realm Barrier and made his triumphant return to the Holy Realm.
