Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2119: It’s Impossible to Refine and Assimilate the Primordial Demon World Origin

The Master of the Holy Realm listened to the group's persuasion, his gaze shifting with indecision as he struggled to reach a conclusion.
“However, I took a solemn vow before the Creator Lord many years ago. I promised not to interfere unless I was directly provoked,” the Master of the Holy Realm said, sounding hesitant.
Chen Mo, the elder of the Holy Realm Academy’s Punishment Hall, suggested, “If that is the case, we should target Yang Xiaotian’s followers first and wipe them out! If Yang Xiaotian strikes back, it will be viewed as a provocation against Your Majesty.”
“At that point, Your Majesty’s intervention would be entirely justified.”
Another elder chimed in, “Exactly. Even if the pretext is a bit thin, the Creator Lord might not necessarily punish you even if Your Majesty truly kills Yang Xiaotian!”
“After all, Your Majesty, you are an official registered disciple of the Creator Lord.”
The Master of the Holy Realm shook his head in disagreement.
The Creator Lord might overlook the deaths of others, but Yang Xiaotian had become the Junior Academy Head of the World Academy and the Son of the World.
If he used flimsy excuses to execute Yang Xiaotian, the Creator Lord would certainly not remain a passive observer.
That is, unless a specific opportunity arose.
The Dominance Battle of the Eternal Realm List was drawing near; if Yang Xiaotian entered the Eternal Realm Battlefield, he could be killed without the Creator Lord being able to impose any punishment.
Once inside the Eternal Realm Battlefield, every participant is responsible for their own life or death.
“The Eternal Realm Battlefield is set to open soon. Do you believe Yang Xiaotian will participate?” the Master of the Holy Realm inquired suddenly.
The gathered members of the Holy Realm Academy were caught off guard.
“Does Your Majesty intend to eliminate Yang Xiaotian inside the Eternal Realm Battlefield?” Elder Chen Mo’s eyes sparkled with interest.
“Any expert who has reached the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm can enter once the battlefield opens. Given Yang Xiaotian’s Cultivation speed, he will surely break through to the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm within a few thousand years,” mused another elder. “And with his thirst for competition, he will undoubtedly step into the Eternal Realm Battlefield!”
“However, if Yang Xiaotian reaches the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm and manages to refine and assimilate the Primordial Demon World Origin, he would possess the origins of two realms. It would be quite difficult for Your Majesty to kill him then,” noted the elder from the Mission Hall.
The Master of the Holy Realm shook his head. “Inside the Eternal Realm Battlefield, Yang Xiaotian’s ability to draw upon the power of the Primordial Demon World and the Ancestor Dragon Realm Origins is restricted. As long as he hasn't reached the Unity Realm Stage, I am certain I can kill him!”
“Furthermore, he is incapable of refining and assimilating the Primordial Demon World Origin.”
“No one in existence is capable of refining and assimilating that Origin!”
“Even with a Thirty-Four Layer Primordial Demon Holy Body, he would fail to refine and assimilate the Primordial Demon World Origin.”
The Master of the Holy Realm spoke with absolute conviction.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian was sitting cross-legged at the base of the Great Rift Valley, as waves of Primordial Demon Energy surged into his body.
As he continued the process of refining and assimilating, the Primordial Demon Holy Power within him intensified significantly.
His Primordial Demon Holy Body, which had been at the Thirty-First Layer, finally made the breakthrough to the Thirty-Second Layer.
However, after reaching the Thirty-Second Layer, the volume of Primordial Demon Energy required became staggering. By this time, the supply of energy at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley had been severely depleted by his constant absorption.
It seemed the Primordial Demon Energy hidden deep within the valley would be insufficient to push Yang Xiaotian’s Primordial Demon Holy Body all the way to the Thirty-Four Layer.
Through relentless engulfing and assimilation, the remaining Primordial Demon Energy at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley was eventually consumed entirely by Yang Xiaotian.
With the energy gone, the depths of the Great Rift Valley became noticeably clearer and more visible.
Yang Xiaotian brought his Cultivation session to a halt.
His Primordial Demon Holy Body had reached a much higher level, though he felt a hint of regret. Despite exhausting all the Primordial Demon Energy in the valley, his Holy Body had only reached the Late Stage of the Thirty-Third Layer.
He was just a small step away from the Thirty-Four Layer.
Without Primordial Demon Energy to aid his Cultivation, it might take another four or five centuries for his Primordial Demon Holy Body to achieve that next breakthrough.
“You should pay a visit to the Imperial Capital of the Great Rift Empire,” Master Ding suggested. “It is quite common for people to trade Primordial Demon Energy in that city.”
Yang Xiaotian nodded in agreement.
He had also heard rumors that Primordial Demon Energy was frequently sold in the Imperial Capital.
Even if the quantities available for purchase were small, it was worth investigating.
Buying even a limited amount of Primordial Demon Energy would shorten the time needed to develop his Primordial Demon Holy Body.
Acting immediately, Yang Xiaotian utilized Space-Time abilities to vanish from the Great Rift Valley.
After departing, Yang Xiaotian questioned the Abyss of Darkness and the Destroying Heaven Demon regarding the recent activities of the First Demon and the Blood Ancestor.
“There has been no news since the First Demon and Blood Ancestor last left; it appears they have gone into secluded Cultivation,” the Destroying Heaven Demon answered.
They had been keeping a close watch on the duo’s movements for years.
Their primary fear was that the First Demon and Blood Ancestor would join forces again to send an army to hunt down His Majesty, but the pair had remained silent.
Yang Xiaotian wondered if the First Demon and Blood Ancestor had truly given up on trying to kill him.
He knew that was impossible.
“And what of the Master of the Holy Realm?” Yang Xiaotian inquired.
“The Master of the Holy Realm has also remained quiet,” the Destroying Heaven Demon said, shaking his head. “However, rumors suggest he is certain that Your Majesty cannot refine and assimilate the Primordial Demon World Origin.”
“They claim that even if your Primordial Demon Holy Body hits the Thirty-Four Layer, refinement remains impossible.”
“Strangely, many people have started discussing the Eternal Realm Battlefield lately.”
Yang Xiaotian’s interest was piqued. “The Eternal Realm Battlefield.”
Even though the opening of the battlefield was still thousands of years away, the sudden talk about it felt suspicious.
He began to dimly grasp the plan shared by the Master of the Holy Realm, the First Demon, and the Blood Ancestor.
Did they plan to wait for the Eternal Realm Battlefield to make their move?
Once inside that battlefield, he would be unable to use Master Ding’s strength.
In the minds of the First Demon and Blood Ancestor, would he be an easy target once he stepped onto that field?
Yang Xiaotian let out a cold sneer.
Even if he failed to refine the Primordial Demon World Origin and could not become its Master, there were still thousands of years before the battlefield opened. It was impossible to predict how powerful he would become by then.
Did the Master of the Holy Realm and the First Demon really think he would only reach the Heavenly Dao Realm?
Shortly after, Yang Xiaotian and his companions left the Great Rift Valley and headed toward the Imperial Capital of the Great Rift Empire.
The capital was situated very close to the valley, and the journey took the group less than half a day.
The Imperial Capital was far more orderly than the Demon Territory, and the streets were filled with the bustle of a thriving city.
Yang Xiaotian instructed his followers to gather information regarding Primordial Demon Energy.
Before long, the Destroying Heaven Demon and the others returned with a positive report. “Your Majesty, we have excellent news. The Holy King Chamber of Commerce is preparing to auction a large quantity of Primordial Demon Energy soon.”
The Holy King Chamber of Commerce was known as the premier merchant guild in the Primordial Demon World.
“How much are they putting up for auction?” Yang Xiaotian asked with anticipation.
“The exact amount hasn't been officially declared by the Holy King Chamber of Commerce yet, but it is said to be substantial. Some claim it is ten million strands, while others suggest twenty million,” the Destroying Heaven Demon said. “It is almost certainly over ten million!”
Hope surged within Yang Xiaotian. Since his Primordial Demon Holy Body was currently at the Late Stage of the Thirty-Third Layer, twenty million strands of Primordial Demon Energy might be exactly what he needed to reach the Thirty-Four Layer.
