Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2165: Finding the Bodhi Tree

When the Master of Holy Realm unleashed his devastating attack, golden flames swallowed Yang Xiaotian whole, as wave after wave of Dao Tribulation Thunder erupted to defend against the overwhelming assault from the Master of Holy Realm.

A thunderous boom echoed across the area.

Hovering over Yang Xiaotian, a massive golden Giant Cauldron materialized—it was none other than Master Ding!

Upon blocking the Master of Holy Realm's crushing strike, Master Ding's form blazed with intense golden flames, causing the Dao Tribulation Thunder Barrier to shatter into pieces.

Yet, Master Ding stood firm without yielding an inch!

And the Master of Holy Realm's strength got fully countered in the process.

"What!" The Master of Holy Realm cried out in disbelief.

This Giant Cauldron had actually blocked his all-out assault powered by Holy Realm Origin Power!

Not just the Master of Holy Realm was stunned, but every mighty figure in the Holy Realm Academy felt the same shock.

Unwilling to concede, the Master of Holy Realm gathered Holy Realm Origin Power once more to launch another assault on Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding.

On this occasion, he summoned the might of the Holy Spirit, Grotto Heaven, and Holy Land as well.

Master Ding's golden flames surged higher.

Strands of Dao Runes gathered together, clashing head-on with the Master of Holy Realm's powerful onslaught.

Following a heaven-shaking thunderclap, Master Ding's golden flames dispersed, and the Dao Tribulation Thunder Barrier faded away.

However, much like earlier, the Master of Holy Realm's strike only succeeded in breaking through Master Ding's protective shield, failing to cause any real damage.

In this way, Master Ding kept absorbing the Master of Holy Realm's relentless assaults.

Some time later, Yang Xiaotian's wounds mended fully, allowing him and Master Ding to employ Space-Time Instantaneous Movement and escape from the Holy Realm Academy.

He had visited the Holy Realm Academy this time solely to gauge the peak might of the Master of Holy Realm; with that knowledge gained, lingering further served no purpose.

Once the Eternal Realm Battlefield activates, their true confrontation would unfold.

That moment would settle who prevails and who perishes!

Noticing Yang Xiaotian's imminent departure, the Master of Holy Realm moved to block him by sealing off all nearby Space-Time, yet Master Ding's own space-time lockdown hurled him back forcefully.

Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding vanished completely from sight.

They left only wreckage and the shattered exterior of the Holy Realm Academy in their wake.

Gazing at the demolished Main Hall of the Holy Realm Academy and the shattered surrounding peaks, the Master of Holy Realm's expression turned grim.

Yang Xiaotian's Giant Cauldron had fended off the force of his Holy Realm Origin Power! This outcome lay far beyond his expectations and calculations.

At the same time, confusion gripped him; what manner of being was this Giant Cauldron, capable of enduring a maximum-effort blow from his Holy Realm Origin Power?

Was it perhaps from the Creation Realm?

He dismissed the idea with a shake of his head.

The foe couldn't possibly hail from the Creation Realm.

Because if it did, even he would find it impossible to stand against.

Evidently, below the Creation Realm, his supremacy wasn't absolute!

As Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding exited the Holy Realm Academy, they ventured out of the Holy Realm altogether, but instead of heading back to the Three Realms or the Meng Family, Yang Xiaotian chose to journey with Master Ding past the Eternal Realm's borders in pursuit of the Bodhi Tree.

Locating the Bodhi Tree would offer a path to uncovering the Buddha World Origin.

With that goal, Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding pressed on toward the farthest edge of the Eternal Realm.

Through decades of nonstop Space-Time Instantaneous Movement, Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding at last arrived at the Eternal Realm's boundary.

The Eternal Realm's edge stretched as a desolate wasteland, utterly barren of any life, encircled by horrifying Chaos Storms. Without Yang Xiaotian's attainment of the Peak of Heavenly Dao Tenth Layer, traversing the rampant Chaos Storms to this point would have proven impossible.

Reaching the Eternal Realm's end, Yang Xiaotian encountered an unseen barrier of air.

He recognized it as the Boundary Wall of the Eternal Realm.

Yang Xiaotian poured forth the Power of Three Realms Origin along with the energies of Holy Spirit, Grotto Heaven, and Holy Land, unleashing a full-powered hit.

Still, he failed to pierce the Eternal Realm's Boundary Wall.

This Boundary Wall proved extraordinarily dense, offering tremendous opposition that Yang Xiaotian couldn't overcome right now.

In the end, after Master Ding expended tens of thousands of Primordial Qi, it tore open the Boundary Wall, guiding Yang Xiaotian via the Eternal Realm Passage into the domain beyond.

Beyond the Eternal Realm's limit lay a dead void, stripped of all vitality and ringed by Chaos Storms; stars were visible from the edge, but past the barrier, even the heavens grew hidden.

The Chaos Storms raged more violently here, and alongside them swirled endless chaotic energies; abruptly, a flash of thunder and lightning lit up the path ahead, unleashing a torrent of thunderfire that hammered the infinite space-time beneath, its dreadfulness sending chills up Yang Xiaotian's spine.

In addition to the thunderfire, black ice arrows materialized; a hit from those black ice arrows might overwhelm even Yang Xiaotian's Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body.

Unless Yang Xiaotian's Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body advanced past the Thirty-Seventh Layer.

Yang Xiaotian halted briefly, then proceeded through the Chaos Storm with utmost caution.

With no sky overhead, this entire domain resembled a bottomless chasm; navigating it felt like treading an endless pit of nothingness.

As he soared onward, Yang Xiaotian also drew upon the Innate Buddha Ancestor Power to search for the Bodhi Tree.

Amid this boundless gloom, only the Innate Buddha Ancestor Power allowed him to detect the Bodhi Tree.

Thankfully, he had mastered this force, pushing his Innate Buddha Ancestor Power to the Thirty-Fourth Layer; without that, locating the Bodhi Tree would lie out of reach.

In this place, time itself appeared to have ceased.

Yang Xiaotian drifted on without end or direction.

The space's extreme volatility prevented him from risking Space-Time Instantaneous Movement, forcing him to advance with careful flight.

Yang Xiaotian lost track of the distance he covered, facing off against many fierce Chaos Storms, pitch-black freezing ice arrows, and even alarming spatial tears.

Fortune smiled on him thanks to Master Ding; without it, dodging those abrupt spatial tears might have eluded him.

Maybe centuries had slipped by.

All at once, Yang Xiaotian detected a supremely refined surge of Innate Buddha Power from the distant front.

Startled initially, Yang Xiaotian brimmed with elation, speeding toward the detected source.

Moments later, a colossal Buddha Tree emerged in the void before him, its innumerable branches extending wide, with Buddha Force ascending and casting light across the nearby space.

"Bodhi Tree!" Yang Xiaotian shouted in delight.

After centuries of probing this chasm-like void, he had at last uncovered the Bodhi Tree!

He rushed forward without delay, landing right in front of the Bodhi Tree.

To his thrill, the Bodhi Tree bore thirty-six ripe Bodhi Fruits, all pristine and whole.

Every Bodhi Fruit gleamed invitingly.

The Bodhi Tree's roots wove deeply into the encircling space, fusing seamlessly with it; beneath the Buddha Light's canopy, no Chaos Storms or bitter cold intruded, and the space held steady.

"Master Ding, we've located the Bodhi Tree!" Yang Xiaotian called out in excitement.

Master Ding gave a nod, mirroring Yang Xiaotian's happiness.

Centuries of pursuit had culminated in this discovery of the Bodhi Tree, granting their long-held desire.

Armed with the Bodhi Tree and its Bodhi Fruits, Yang Xiaotian's path to entering the Unity Realm Stage lay open!

Yang Xiaotian promptly invoked the Innate Buddha Ancestor Power to refine the Bodhi Tree, pressing his palms against its trunk as the energy flowed steadily into it.

Any other power would face the Bodhi Tree's rejection, but Yang Xiaotian's Innate Buddha Ancestor Power spread effortlessly through every part of the tree.
