Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2124 - 1124: Lord of Two Realms
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
The Black and White Sword Demon froze in his tracks.
A terrifying realization had just dawned upon him.
"You have truly mastered the Primordial Demon World Origin!" His complexion drained of all color, turning deathly pale.
With a simple gesture, he had dissolved the First Demon Array; with another, he neutralized the combined might of the First Demon Palace’s entire legion; and with a final strike, he had left him on the brink of death.
And yet, it was undeniable that Yang Xiaotian was merely a Saint Ancestor.
What could explain such a feat?
It meant that Yang Xiaotian had successfully refined and assimilated the Primordial Demon World Origin, allowing him to wield the very essence of this world.
Only through such absolute control could a mere Saint Ancestor achieve something so impossible.
As the Black and White Sword Demon’s words echoed, the demon soldiers who were once swarming Yang Xiaotian came to a dead halt. Fear etched onto their faces, they stood paralyzed, unsure of what to do with their weapons.
Yang Xiaotian had mastered the Primordial Demon World Origin?
Did that not make him their new...?
Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian gripped the empty air. The Black and White Sword Demon felt the space surrounding him constrict violently, dragging his body toward Yang Xiaotian against his will.
He desperately tried to circulate his holy power, but his efforts were entirely futile.
Yang Xiaotian seized the Black and White Sword Demon, holding him captive. Surveying the massive demon army surrounding them, he let out a thunderous command: "Kneel!" The roar was like the simultaneous explosion of a billion divine thunders.
An overwhelming, boundless pressure descended from the heavens.
The entire demon legion collapsed to their knees.
A sense of impending doom saturated the atmosphere.
It felt as though the world itself would shatter if Yang Xiaotian’s fury was unleashed. At that moment, the demon army finally understood the horrific weight of a Realm Lord’s wrath.
"Your Majesty, please show mercy!"
"We offer our humble respects to the Realm Lord!"
The powerful commanders within the army cried out in sheer terror and submission.
Though their loyalty had belonged to the First Demon, loyalty was irrelevant now. Yang Xiaotian had refined and assimilated the Primordial Demon World Origin; he was now the undisputed master of the Primordial Demon World!
He was the sovereign of their entire realm!
Yang Xiaotian fixed his gaze on the Black and White Sword Demon.
The demon’s face was ashen, his heart gripped by a panic he had never experienced before. He was utterly terrified.
He never imagined that Yang Xiaotian could have actually refined and assimilated the Primordial Demon World Origin to become the Realm Lord!
This outcome was completely outside his calculations. Had the Master of the Holy Realm not declared that it was impossible for anyone to refine the origins of two different realms simultaneously?
Suddenly, he recalled how the First Demon Lord had fled the First Demon Palace in a frantic state some time ago.
He had found the behavior bizarre at the time, but the reason for the First Demon Lord's hasty departure was now blindingly clear.
"Your Majesty... spare me," the Black and White Sword Demon managed to choke out, his eyes filled with a desperate, sincere plea for his life.
Knowing that Yang Xiaotian now controlled the Primordial Demon World Origin, all his previous arrogance had vanished.
"Do you truly believe I would grant you mercy?" Yang Xiaotian’s voice was as cold as ice.
The Black and White Sword Demon opened his mouth to beg once more, but Yang Xiaotian’s hand tightened. In an instant, the demon was crushed. Not only was his physical form destroyed, but his divine soul, his grotto heaven, his holy spirit, and his very Dao were reduced to nothing but dust.
The kneeling demon soldiers turned even paler, pressing their foreheads against the ground, not daring to even breathe.
Yang Xiaotian released his divine soul power, blanketing the entire First Demon Palace. His spiritual sense permeated every hidden corner and secret space within the structure.
However, the First Demon was nowhere to be found.
Upon interrogating a high-ranking officer of the demon army, Yang Xiaotian learned that the First Demon had vanished days ago, leaving no trace of his destination.
Yang Xiaotian calculated the timing; it seemed the First Demon had fled at the exact moment he had finished refining and assimilating the Primordial Demon World Origin.
It appeared the First Demon had sensed the shift in power early on.
Accompanied by his followers from the Abyss of Darkness, Yang Xiaotian entered the First Demon Palace.
The palace was riddled with complex restrictions placed by the First Demon, but to the current Yang Xiaotian, these barriers were meaningless. No matter how powerful the seal, he could erase it with a mere flick of his finger.
Eventually, he reached the treasury of the First Demon Palace. With a single palm strike against the air, he shattered the heavy vault doors.
Because he had fled in such a hurry, the First Demon had been unable to take everything. He left behind a vast mountain of demon-attribute elixirs and divine medicines.
Most of these elixirs were useless to Yang Xiaotian, so he distributed them among his master, the Primordial Universe Taoist, and the others from the Abyss of Darkness.
As for the divine medicines, anything aged seven hundred million years or older had been taken by the First Demon. Those in the five to six hundred million year range held little value for Yang Xiaotian's current level.
Next, Yang Xiaotian traveled to the Blood Prison.
Just like the First Demon, the Blood Ancestor had already escaped before Yang Xiaotian’s arrival. He left behind only his palace and the treasures he couldn't carry.
Yang Xiaotian razed the Blood Prison Palace and emptied its vault.
Meanwhile, the news of Yang Xiaotian refining the Primordial Demon World Origin and becoming its new master spread like a wildfire across the Primordial Demon World and into other realms.
The shock felt across all worlds was beyond description.
From the palace of the Master of the Holy Realm, a roar of fury—the loudest in history—shook the foundations of the building.
In contrast, the World Academy was erupting with celebration. The Ancestor Dragon Realm was similarly filled with intense excitement.
Once Yang Xiaotian’s status as the master of the Primordial Demon World was solidified, the various empires, the primordial ancestors of the great demon Sects, and even the most ancient and supreme demons all arrived to pay him homage.
Even the Rain Demon of the Demon Territory arrived with the Star Storm Demon. They knelt before Yang Xiaotian, not daring to lift their heads for a long time.
In the following period, Yang Xiaotian remained at the First Demon Palace to cultivate, drawing upon the vast resources of the entire Primordial Demon World.
Simultaneously, he ordered the collection of Primordial Demon Holy Water to nourish the Innate Demon Tree.
His original plan was to use the holy water to force the Innate Demon Tree to mature and bear Innate Demon Fruits, which would provide the boost he needed for his next breakthrough.
Unfortunately, Primordial Demon Holy Water was incredibly rare. Even with his new authority, several years of searching yielded very little.
Consequently, Yang Xiaotian shifted the search toward any information regarding Eight-Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicines.
However, such legendary plants had virtually vanished. The last one recorded in the Primordial Demon World was millions of years ago, and there had been no sightings since.
Finding one seemed like an impossible task.
"Your Majesty, we have information regarding an Eight-Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine!" On that day, the Destroying Heaven Demon arrived in a rush, his voice trembling with excitement as he addressed Yang Xiaotian.
"What? An Eight-Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine!" Yang Xiaotian was revitalized by the news. Having used the resources of the Primordial Demon World to reach the Ninth Layer of the Saint Ancestor realm, a medicine of that caliber would surely push him to the Tenth Layer.
"Where is it located?" Yang Xiaotian demanded instantly.
"Reports say that an Eight-Hundred-Million-Year Bright Heavenly Ginseng has been spotted in the Bright Heavenly Realm!" the Destroying Heaven Demon replied enthusiastically.
Yang Xiaotian was stunned. "The Bright Heavenly Ginseng!"
He remembered reading about it in Long Yi’s records; it was the undisputed King of divine medicines in the Bright Heavenly Realm, born from the very Origin of that world.
Long Yi had encountered a Bright Heavenly Ginseng in the past but had found it impossible to catch. Could the one Long Yi saw all those years ago have finally reappeared?
