Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2166: Mastering the Buddha World’s Origin
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
As Yang Xiaotian's Innate Buddha Ancestor Power surged throughout the entire Bodhi Tree, radiant layers of Buddha Light emanated from it.
With remarkable ease, Yang Xiaotian absorbed and refined the Bodhi Tree, forging a deep blood connection with it.
Having completed the refinement of the Bodhi Tree, he promptly transported it back along the path he had taken.
Dangers abound in the space outside the Eternal Realm, so with the Bodhi Tree now in his possession, Yang Xiaotian had no desire to remain there a second longer.
He had lost all interest in pursuing the Nine Hundred Million Years Divine Medicine located beyond the Eternal Realm.
While the quest for the Bodhi Tree had spanned hundreds of years, Yang Xiaotian's journey back was far swifter, taking only around a century to reach the Eternal Realm's edge.
Master Ding ignited the Primordial Qi once more, shattering the Eternal Realm's boundary, allowing Yang Xiaotian and himself to traverse the passage and re-enter the myriad worlds.
Upon arriving back in the myriad worlds, Yang Xiaotian at last let go of all tension.
Beyond the Eternal Realm, he had remained perpetually vigilant, braced for any abrupt spatial disruptions.
At this point, such constant alertness was no longer required.
Yang Xiaotian ventured into the internal realms, soared ahead, and once he cleared the Chaos Storm region, he called forth the Bodhi Tree, positioned himself cross-legged under its branches, consumed a Bodhi Fruit, and commenced his cultivation.
During his time outside the Eternal Realm, his power had been steadily rising, placing him at the absolute pinnacle of the Heavenly Dao Tenth Layer, poised to advance into the Unity Realm Stage at any moment!
For this session, he planned to harness the Bodhi Fruit's potency to surge straight into the Unity Realm Stage in a single breakthrough.
Once Yang Xiaotian had fully assimilated the Bodhi Fruit, his realm could no longer be held back, so he channeled Holy Power to shatter the Unity Realm Stage's barrier in one decisive strike.
Dong!
In a flash, the Unity Realm Stage's barrier was demolished.
Ominous tribulation clouds amassed thickly overhead in the heavens.
Surprisingly, Chaos Storm and Ultimate Cold Force churned inside those menacing tribulation clouds.
Detecting the Chaos Storm and Ultimate Cold Force brewing in the tribulation clouds, Yang Xiaotian refused to take chances and fully activated his Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body.
This breakthrough tribulation to the Unity Realm held immense importance for him; failure here would be disastrous.
Boom!
Fearsome Thunder Pillars plummeted savagely from above.
Chaos Storm twisted through the fearsome Thunder Pillars, which also pulsed with staggering Ultimate Cold energy.
Shock gripped Yang Xiaotian.
Was the First Layer Tribulation Thunder already this ferocious?
Yang Xiaotian launched himself skyward and delivered a mighty punch.
Dong!
The clash of his Fist Strength against the fearsome Thunder Pillars triggered a deafening blast that obliterated the surroundings.
Though Yang Xiaotian shattered the First Layer Tribulation Thunder, the rebounding force left his arm tingling with numbness.
Having gauged the might of the First Layer Tribulation Thunder, Yang Xiaotian's face turned grave; this Unity Realm Tribulation Thunder evoked a deadly peril akin to his earlier Lower Realm tribulations.
Clearly, this trial would prove far more challenging than those before.
The Second Layer Tribulation Thunder followed soon after.
Its power doubled once more, compelling Yang Xiaotian to draw upon both his Holy Body and Dao Heart.
Despite this, the collision still sent numbness racing through his arms.
The chill doubled in ferocity, encasing Yang Xiaotian's arms in thick layers of frost.
By unleashing the Fifteenth Holy Body's might, Yang Xiaotian at last broke free of the ice coating his arms.
No sooner had he done so than the Third Layer Tribulation Thunder descended.
The Fourth Layer and Fifth Layer arrived in succession!
With every successive layer, the Thunder's intensity doubled over the prior one.
As the layers intensified progressively, the Tenth Layer's tribulation thunder wielded horrifying might!
By then, Yang Xiaotian wasn't just relying on his Dao Heart and Holy Body; he also summoned Holy Path, Holy Technique, and Holy Land energies.
Just then, the Eleventh Layer Tribulation Thunder hammered down.
Yang Xiaotian found himself compelled to tap into the Primordial Cave Heaven's power.
As the Twelfth Layer Tribulation Thunder struck, he even called upon the Tree of the Great Dao's strength.
Even with the Tree of the Great Dao's aid, it was scarcely enough to overcome the Twelfth Layer Tribulation Thunder.
The Thirteenth Layer Tribulation Thunder loomed next.
Doubling the Twelfth Layer's force, the Thirteenth Layer's power drove Yang Xiaotian to invoke the might of one hundred million Innate Holy Spirits.
Bolstered by one hundred million Innate Holy Spirits, he dispelled the Thirteenth Layer Tribulation Thunder without much strain.
Yet, the Fourteenth Layer Tribulation Thunder's descent battered him fiercely, even with one hundred million Innate Holy Spirits at his command, as the Thunder's energy coursed through him, nearly rupturing his organs in agony.
At last, the Fifteenth Layer Tribulation Thunder arrived!
It marked the final onslaught of the tribulation thunder.
The impact of the Fifteenth Layer Thunder sent the entire Heaven and Earth into quakes.
Beyond its doubled potency, this Fifteenth Layer Thunder incorporated Divine Soul assaults and even wielded the Power of Space.
"Careful!" Master Ding warned Yang Xiaotian with urgency.
Yet, Yang Xiaotian had to endure the tribulation alone; Master Ding could offer no direct aid.
Confronting the plummeting Fifteenth Layer Thunder, Yang Xiaotian frantically gathered his Holy Body, Dao Heart, Holy Land, Innate Holy Spirit, and every available power.
Boom!
When Yang Xiaotian's Fist Strength met the Fifteenth Layer Thunder, an apocalyptic force tore through his defenses, surging inward to wreak havoc everywhere.
The blow hurled Yang Xiaotian backward, fractures spiderwebbing across his body as blood sprayed forth.
Without his Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body, fortified to Thirty-Six Layers, Yang Xiaotian would have been utterly annihilated in that instant.
Mercifully, just as his body teetered on the edge of total destruction, the Thunder's energy faded away.
Hovering amid the Vast Starry Sky, Yang Xiaotian drew on the Primordial Life Holy Tree's Life Force to restore his ravaged form.
After a full day, Yang Xiaotian's broken body started mending gradually, enabling him to stir once more.
He then summoned the Bodhi Tree, Tree of Eternal Life, Innate Demon Tree, and Ancestor Dragon Tree, settling beneath these four mighty trees, ingested a Fifteenth Calamities Healing Elixir, and ran his cultivation technique to draw in the lingering Thunder's essence.
Over the next few days, his wounds began to mend.
It took half a month for Yang Xiaotian's injuries to fully mend.
With recovery complete, Yang Xiaotian resumed consuming Bodhi Fruits to cultivate and stabilize his newfound Unity Realm Stage prowess.
Refining another Bodhi Fruit not only cemented his Harmonization First Layer Realm foundation but also elevated his strength beyond that.
After some reflection, Yang Xiaotian chose to pause his training and head back to the Buddha World, aiming to detect and assimilate its source.
Accordingly, he stowed the Four Great Divine Trees and departed for the Buddha World.
Back in the Buddha World, Yang Xiaotian employed his Innate Buddha Ancestor Power alongside the Bodhi Tree's energy to locate the Buddha World's source.
The process unfolded without hitches, and soon Yang Xiaotian pinpointed the Buddha World's source, proceeding to grasp and refine it.
Through persistent comprehension, Yang Xiaotian ultimately succeeded in refining the Buddha World's source.
In doing so, he unified the sources of the Ancestor Dragon Realm, Primordial Demon World, Bright Heavenly Realm, and Buddha World all within his being!
Nevertheless, he kept his control over the Buddha World's source under wraps, as his status as Buddha Master in the Buddha Sect stood firm irrespective of any proclamation.
When the Eternal Realm Battlefield commences, mastery of the Buddha World's source would serve as his hidden ace.
