Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2165: Finding the Bodhi Tree
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
When the Master of Holy Realm unleashed his devastating attack, Yang Xiaotian found himself wrapped in blazing golden flames, as wave after wave of Dao Tribulation Thunder rushed forth to block the overwhelming assault from the Master of Holy Realm.
A thunderous boom echoed through the air.
Hovering over Yang Xiaotian, a massive golden Giant Cauldron materialized—it was none other than Master Ding!
Having taken the brunt of the Master of Holy Realm’s ferocious strike, Master Ding’s form erupted in golden fire, while the Dao Tribulation Thunder Barrier crumbled apart.
Yet Master Ding held his ground without the slightest step back!
The Master of Holy Realm’s immense power got fully countered in the process.
"What!" The Master of Holy Realm cried out in disbelief.
This Giant Cauldron had somehow blocked his all-out blast of Holy Realm Origin Power!
Not just the Master of Holy Realm, but every mighty figure in the Holy Realm Academy stood stunned as well.
Refusing to yield, the Master of Holy Realm gathered his Holy Realm Origin Power once more, launching another assault on Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding.
On this occasion, he summoned the might of the Holy Spirit, Grotto Heaven, and Holy Land too.
Master Ding’s golden flames blazed higher.
Strands of Dao Runes gathered together, clashing head-on with the Master of Holy Realm’s powerful blow.
Following a sky-shaking explosion, Master Ding’s golden flames dispersed, and the Dao Tribulation Thunder Barrier faded away.
Still, much like earlier, the Master of Holy Realm’s strike only shattered 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 attacks.
Soon enough, Yang Xiaotian’s wounds mended, and he along with Master Ding employed Space-Time Instantaneous Movement to escape the Holy Realm Academy.
His visit to the Holy Realm Academy this time aimed solely at gauging the peak strength of the Master’s abilities; now that he had the measure of it, lingering served no purpose.
The Eternal Realm Battlefield’s opening would bring their true confrontation.
That moment would settle who dominated and who perished!
As Yang Xiaotian prepared to depart, the Master of Holy Realm moved to halt him, sealing off all nearby Space-Time, yet Master Ding’s space-time confinement hurled him back.
Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding vanished completely.
All that remained was widespread ruin and the shattered exterior of the Holy Realm Academy.
Gazing upon 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 defied his Holy Realm Origin Power! This outcome lay far outside his calculations and expectations.
At the same time, confusion gripped him; what manner of being was this Giant Cauldron, capable of enduring his maximum Holy Realm Origin Power strike?
Was it perhaps of the Creation Realm?
He dismissed the idea with a shake of his head.
No, the foe couldn’t reach Creation Realm levels.
For a Creation Realm entity would overpower even him.
Evidently, below the Creation Realm, his invincibility faced challenge!
Once Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding exited the Holy Realm Academy, they left the Holy Realm behind, but instead of heading to the Three Realms or the Meng Family, Yang Xiaotian chose to journey onward with Master Ding past the Eternal Realm’s borders in pursuit of the Bodhi Tree.
Locating the Bodhi Tree would open the path to the Buddha World Origin.
With that in mind, Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding ventured toward the Eternal Realm’s farthest edge.
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 end stretched as a desolate wasteland, utterly barren of life, encircled by horrifying Chaos Storms. Without attaining the Peak of Heavenly Dao Tenth Layer, Yang Xiaotian couldn’t have traversed the rampant Chaos Storms to attain this point.
Arriving at the Eternal Realm’s terminus, Yang Xiaotian encountered an unseen barrier of air.
He recognized it as the Eternal Realm’s Boundary Wall.
Yang Xiaotian drew upon the Power of Three Realms Origin alongside the forces of Holy Spirit, Grotto Heaven, and Holy Land, unleashing a full-powered hit.
Nevertheless, the Eternal Realm’s Boundary Wall remained unbroken.
This Boundary Wall possessed tremendous thickness and unyielding resistance, beyond Yang Xiaotian’s current ability to shatter.
In the end, after Master Ding expended tens of thousands of Primordial Qi, a breach opened in the Boundary Wall, allowing Yang Xiaotian passage through the Eternal Realm Passage into the unknown beyond.
Beyond the Eternal Realm’s end lay a dead void, stripped of all vitality, hemmed in by Chaos Storms; stars visible from the edge disappeared past the barrier, with even the heavens cloaked in shadow.
The Chaos Storms raged more violently here, joined by myriad chaotic energies; abruptly, a flash of lightning lit the path ahead, unleashing torrents of thunderfire that hammered the infinite space-time beneath, its dreadfulness sending chills across Yang Xiaotian’s scalp.
In addition to thunderfire, black ice arrows materialized; a hit from those could overwhelm Yang Xiaotian’s Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body.
Unless his Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body advanced to the Thirty-Seventh Layer.
Yang Xiaotian halted, then proceeded through the Chaos Storm with utmost caution.
This place lacked any sky, resembling a bottomless chasm; traversing it felt like treading an endless void, heavy with isolation.
As he soared, Yang Xiaotian invoked the Innate Buddha Ancestor Power to detect the Bodhi Tree.
Within this boundless gloom, only the Innate Buddha Ancestor Power could guide him to the Bodhi Tree.
Luckily, he had mastered this force, pushing his Innate Buddha Ancestor Power to the Thirty-Fourth Layer; without that, discovering the Bodhi Tree proved unattainable.
Time itself seemed absent in this domain.
Yang Xiaotian glided on without direction or end.
The space’s extreme volatility prevented Space-Time Instantaneous Movement, forcing careful flight.
Even Yang Xiaotian lost track of the distance covered, facing fierce Chaos Storms, pitch-black freezing ice arrows, and alarming spatial tears.
Master Ding’s presence proved fortunate; without it, dodging those abrupt spatial ruptures might have failed.
Hundreds of years might have elapsed.
Abruptly, Yang Xiaotian detected a surge of pure Innate Buddha Power far in the distance.
Initial surprise gave way to elation as Yang Xiaotian sped toward the source.
Moments later, a colossal Buddha Tree loomed in the void before him, its branches sprawling wide, Buddha Force ascending and bathing the nearby space in light.
"Bodhi Tree!" Yang Xiaotian shouted in delight.
After centuries of probing this abyss-like expanse, the Bodhi Tree stood found at last!
He rushed forward instantly, landing in front of the Bodhi Tree.
To his thrill, thirty-six ripe Bodhi Fruits adorned it, all pristine and whole.
Every Bodhi Fruit gleamed invitingly.
The Bodhi Tree’s roots wove deeply into the encircling space, fusing seamlessly; beneath its Buddha Light canopy, Chaos Storms, bitter cold, and instability held no sway.
"Master Ding, we found the Bodhi Tree!" Yang Xiaotian called out in excitement.
Master Ding nodded, 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 fruits, Yang Xiaotian’s ascent to the Unity Realm Stage lay assured!
Yang Xiaotian promptly engaged the Innate Buddha Ancestor Power to refine the Bodhi Tree, pressing his palms against its trunk as the energy flowed steadily inside.
Any lesser power would face the Bodhi Tree’s rejection, but Yang Xiaotian’s Innate Buddha Ancestor Power spread effortlessly through every part.
