Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2116: Primordial Demon Holy Body and Innate Demon Tree Growing Together

A piercing laughter, akin to the Nine Nether Demon Sound belonging to the First Demon, erupted and shook the very souls of everyone present.

The expression of the Black and White Sword Demon, who stood at the First Demon’s side, shifted noticeably upon hearing it.

Wrapped in a shroud of demonic qi, the First Demon let out a frigid snort, unleashing an invisible ripple that neutralized the Blood Ancestor’s sonic assault.

A colossal wall of blood surged forward, halting abruptly before the First Demon and his ally, while the surrounding tides of the Blood Prison boiled in a frantic churn. From the center of this massive wave, a sanguine figure materialized.

This entity of blood possessed neither bone nor muscle, lacking both skin and hair; it appeared to be constructed entirely from liquid gore.

Chuckling, the blood figure remarked, "The arrival of the Demon Lord brings a magnificent glow to my Blood Prison. Please, Demon Lord, come inside my Blood Palace and take a seat."

Responding to the Blood Ancestor's invitation, the First Demon stated, "There is no need for sitting. I have come this time to discuss a specific matter with you."

The First Demon knew the Blood Ancestor was a treacherous and fickle creature. Entering the Blood Palace might simply provide an opportunity for a backstabbing ambush.

Seeing the First Demon decline the offer, the Blood Ancestor merely let out another low laugh.

"My purpose here is to suggest a coalition against Yang Xiaotian," the First Demon declared, getting straight to the point.

"Heh heh, so you wish for me to help you take down the Ancestor Dragon Realm Master?" The Blood Ancestor laughed, immediately digging for profit. "Brother, the masters of the ten great realms are formidable opponents. What benefits are in this for me?"

He was not the type to lift a finger without a guaranteed reward.

"What's in it for you?" the First Demon replied in a level tone. "Yang Xiaotian has already successfully cultivated the Primordial Demon Holy Body and wields the strength of the Thirty-Four Layer Innate Demon God. If we permit his Primordial Demon Holy Body to mature further, he will eventually refine the very Origin of the Primordial Demon World."

"Should Yang Xiaotian ascend as the Primordial Demon World Master, your Blood Prison will suffer the consequences."

The Blood Ancestor fell into a pensive silence.

He could not deny the truth in the First Demon's warning.

Reports of Yang Xiaotian mastering the Primordial Demon Holy Body had already reached his ears.

If Yang Xiaotian gained total control over the Primordial Demon World, the Blood Ancestor’s current era of absolute freedom would come to an end.

Being a creature of immense pride, the Blood Ancestor had no desire to bow to anyone.

"If we collaborate to seize Yang Xiaotian, we will divide his Xuanhuang Holy Vein, his Primordial Holy Vein, and his Fourteenth Tribulation Elixirs equally," the First Demon suggested.

The Blood Ancestor countered, "According to my intelligence, he also carries the Dark Heavenly Book, does he not?"

It was obvious he coveted the legendary tome.

Any cultivator would lust after one of the Ten Great Heavenly Books.

"Both the Dark Heavenly Book and the Ancestor Dragon Tree are in his possession. The Dark Heavenly Book shall be yours, while I take the Ancestor Dragon Tree," the First Demon clarified. "All other spoils found on Yang Xiaotian will be split down the middle."

The Blood Ancestor burst into a boisterous laugh.

"Fine!"

"We have a deal!"

Secretly, however, he harbored his own schemes should they actually succeed in capturing their target.

Shortly after, several streaks of light shot out from the depths of the Blood Prison.

This group included the First Demon, the Blood Ancestor, and their subordinates.

Once they cleared the Blood Prison, the First Demon immediately commanded his followers to utilize every available asset to track down Yang Xiaotian.

However, Yang Xiaotian had been careful to mask the trajectory of his spaceship after his departure. Consequently, the First Demon’s search yielded nothing for a significant period.

The First Demon then deduced that Yang Xiaotian’s next phase of cultivating the Primordial Demon Holy Body would require vast amounts of primordial demon energy. With this in mind, he and the Blood Ancestor set a course for Heavenly Demon Mountain.

But Yang Xiaotian had already foreseen that his enemies might track him there. Before entering the mountain to begin his Cultivation, he ordered the Abyss of Darkness, the Dragon Corpse Beast, and his other companions to go into hiding and focus on their own growth until he returned.

Because of this, the First Demon and the Blood Ancestor found no trace of the Abyss of Darkness or the Dragon Corpse Beast upon their arrival.

Given the Abyss of Darkness’s mastery of stealth, it was impossible for the two pursuers to locate them once they were concealed.

As for Yang Xiaotian himself, the First Demon and the Blood Ancestor were helpless, as neither of them possessed the ability to set foot inside Heavenly Demon Mountain.

Deep within the mountain, Yang Xiaotian sat in a meditative posture, his Primordial Demon Holy Body advancing steadily through its levels.

In a short time, he surpassed the Fourth Layer and moved into the Fifth!

As the power of his Primordial Demon Holy Body increased, he found he could descend closer to the mountain's base.

By the time he reached the Tenth Layer, he was able to approach within three hundred zhang of the ground.

Once he hit the Fourteenth Layer, that distance closed to just one hundred zhang.

He calculated that reaching the Twenty-Four Layer would finally allow him to reach the source where the primordial demon energy erupted from the depths of the earth.

However, the requirements for his breakthrough grew exponentially. By the time he attained the Seventeenth Layer, he had already consumed half of the primordial demon energy available in Heavenly Demon Mountain.

He was uncertain if the remaining energy would be sufficient to push him all the way to the Twenty-Four Layer.

While he focused on his main body, his two Divine Avatars remained within his Primordial Cave Heaven, refining his various other Sacred Bodies.

All of his Sacred Bodies were progressing, eventually reaching the middle stage of the Thirty-Four Layer.

His overall Cultivation realm was also rising, successfully breaking into the Saint Ancestor Sixth Layer Realm.

This rapid growth was largely fueled by the Fifteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Harmony Pills. Their nourishment caused the Sacred Trees to yield fruits of much higher quality, which in turn accelerated his progress.

Nevertheless, the Ancestor Dragon Tree remained difficult to harvest; even with the daily application of a Fifteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Harmony Pill, it required a full century to produce a single Ancestor Dragon Fruit.

Eventually, Yang Xiaotian finished absorbing every scrap of primordial demon energy within the mountain.

He felt a sense of relief when his Primordial Demon Holy Body just barely managed to reach the Twenty-Four Layer.

With this breakthrough, he finally reached the point where the energy surged from the earth.

There, he discovered a small pool filled with Primordial Demon Holy Water!

Overjoyed at the find, Yang Xiaotian recognized that this water was not only vital for the Innate Demon Seed but was also a superior resource for his Primordial Demon Holy Body, far more potent than raw energy.

He promptly retrieved the Innate Demon Seed and placed it into the pool, then sat within the Holy Water himself to continue his Cultivation.

The Innate Demon Seed began to drink the Primordial Demon Holy Water like a thirsty little beast, though it only consumed one draught per day.

After a single gulp, it would rest until the following day.

Within a few days, the seed began to sprout. Two weeks later, more shoots appeared, and roots began to form. After several months, those roots were firmly anchored in the bottom of the pool.

As years passed, the seed transformed into a small sapling.

After a decade, the tree had reached several meters in height.

Decades later, as Yang Xiaotian’s Primordial Demon Holy Body reached the Thirty-First Layer, the Innate Demon Tree had grown tens of meters tall!

However, after years of continuous absorption, the pool of Primordial Demon Holy Water was finally drained dry by the man and the tree.

By this time, all of Yang Xiaotian’s Sacred Bodies had achieved the late stage of the Thirty-Four Layer, and his Cultivation had reached the Saint Ancestor Seventh Layer late stage.

Now standing dozens of meters high, the Innate Demon Tree’s roots could pierce through the void, drawing primordial demon energy directly from the depths of the world like a nursing infant.
