Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2171: 2171: King of Divine Medicine in the Eternal Realm Battlefield

“Do you truly believe, Your Majesty, the Master of the Holy Realm could simply traverse the Grand Array of this valley?”

One master suddenly interjected.

Lately, everyone had fallen into the habit of drawing comparisons between the Master of the Holy Realm and Yang Xiaotian.

“Although the Master of the Holy Realm is peerless in his strength, I suspect he would be unable to bypass this valley’s Grand Array,” one person remarked.

“I disagree. The Holy Realm stands as the sovereign authority of the Eternal Realm. The potency of the Holy Realm Origin exceeds our wildest notions. Should the Lord of Three Realms find a path, the Master of the Holy Realm surely could as well!”

“You speak of ‘should,’ which implies uncertainty! Even if the Holy Realm Origin is the most formidable power in the Eternal Realm, it cannot simply disregard the Kaitian Great Array!”

The assembly erupted into heated debate, completely losing sight of the nine-billion-year-old divine medicine.

Meanwhile, shortly after securing that nine-billion-year-old treasure, Yang Xiaotian did not seek a secluded area to refine it. Instead, he allowed his two divine avatars to consume and cultivate with the essence within his Primordial Cave Heaven.

Supported by both the Primordial Cave Heaven and the Holy Land, the progression of his divine avatars became significantly streamlined.

Before long, Yang Xiaotian’s pair of avatars had successfully absorbed the nine-billion-year-old divine medicine.

However, the efficacy of such medicine plummeted significantly once one crossed into the Unity Realm Stage.

To ascend to the Third Layer of the Harmonization Realm, at least twenty more nine-billion-year-old divine medicines would be required.

“I wonder if such ten-billion-year-old treasures exist within the Eternal Realm Battlefield,” Yang Xiaotian pondered.

Legends suggested the existence of a ten-billion-year-old divine medicine within this very battlefield.

That specimen was whispered to be the true King of Divine Medicine of the Eternal Realm Battlefield!

The Master of the Holy Realm had allegedly encountered it once before.

However, this ten-billion-year-old medicine possesses the ability to execute Space-Time Instantaneous Movement, rendering spatial barriers irrelevant. Its velocity equals that of the Master, making it impossible even for him to apprehend.

If Yang Xiaotian could acquire that specific divine medicine, he would instantly bridge the gap to the Third Layer of the Harmonization Realm.

As reports of Yang Xiaotian’s acquisition of the valley’s treasure and the slaughter of several Ancestor Clan elites spread, the situation escalated.

The Ancestral Lord upon hearing that his kin had been slain by Yang Xiaotian, furrowed his brow, a shadow of unease crossing his features.

“Have no fear, Ancestral Lord. Yang Xiaotian is destined to meet his end within these grounds! The Master of the Holy Realm will never permit him to depart alive,” declared Nie Heng, one of the Ancestors of the Ancestor Clan.

Drawing comfort from the potential involvement of the Master of the Holy Realm, the Ancestral Lord’s nerves settled.

He cast a gaze upon the Eternal Realm List; Yang Xiaotian had climbed to the seventeenth rank.

His own ranking remained nineteenth.

He recognized, however, that these placements were superficial. Outside assessments before the gates opened had labeled Yang Xiaotian as second only to the Master of the Holy Realm in prowess.

It was inevitable that Yang Xiaotian would ascend to the second position on the Eternal Realm List.

“We have received word that malicious entities like the Destroying Heaven Demon, the Blood Demon Old Monster, the Red Dragon Mad Demon, and even the Myriad Demon Saint have entered the fray,” Nie Heng added, his eyes burning with malice. “Since Yang Xiaotian desires the extinction of our Ancestor Clan, we need show him no mercy!”

“Track down the Destroying Heaven Demon, the Blood Demon Old Monster, and the others.”

“They have claimed the lives of many from our ranks; we shall retaliate by eliminating those loyal to Yang Xiaotian!”

The Ancestral Lord hesitated briefly.

“Rest assured, the Eternal Realm Battlefield is vast indeed. Even if we dispose of these underlings, it will prove difficult for Yang Xiaotian to trace our handiwork,” Nie Heng insisted. “Furthermore, if we seal the space before we strike, he will never suspect us!”

The Ancestral Lord’s eyes flickered with resolve before he nodded curtly.

“Find the Destroying Heaven Demon and his companions.”

“Understood, Ancestral Lord!”

As time bled into the horizon, rumors of fallen masters from various domains became common.

News eventually reached them of the Feiyang Emperor’s death.

Upon learning of the Emperor’s demise, Yang Xiaotian frowned. He remained deeply indebted to him. During the siege at Feiyang Continent—orchestrated by the Fog God Temple, the Tianhe Sect, the White Night Demon Clan, and various demonic horrors—it was the Feiyang Emperor who had led the forces that saved him.

“A pity for the Feiyang Emperor. Such talent... had he survived, he might have claimed the title of ruler of the Eternal Realm list in time,” remarked an onlooker nearby, shaking his head in regret.

“Nonsense. No one is safe here; even candidates for the list can perish. Who told him to be so foolish as to contest the Hou Clan for that nine-billion-year-old medicine?” countered another person dismissively.

The Hou Clan again?

With a sudden shift in motion, Yang Xiaotian appeared before them.

The two men were startled by his abrupt arrival. Instinctively, they launched a defensive strike, only for their power to dissipate into nothingness upon nearing him.

Both were stunned.

Yet, neither recognized the identity of the man before them.

“Who are you? Why block our path?” they demanded, retreating warily while preparing for conflict.

“Is this Hou Clan you speak of the one from the Blue Elephant Continent?” Yang Xiaotian ignored their hostility, pressing, “Speak to me of the conflict between the Feiyang Emperor and the Hou Clan.”

Hearing his inquiry, the man who had mocked the Emperor erupted into a cold laugh. “Kid, what business is it of yours? Are you from the Feiyang Empire? Why should we offer you any information?”

Clearly, he assumed Yang Xiaotian held ties to the fallen empire.

Seeing their lack of cooperation, Yang Xiaotian allowed the aura of his Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body to ripple forth.

Like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting, his power surged.

The sheer force of his presence caused the surrounding atmosphere to groan, sending both men spiraling backward.

They crashed into a distant cliff, shattering the stone, and as they struggled to their feet through the debris, they looked upon Yang Xiaotian with undisguised terror.

“You... the Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body!” The man was paralyzed by shock.

Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body... could this be?!

Ignoring the dust on their clothes, the two rushed forward and bowed low.

“Greetings, Lord of Three Realms, Your Majesty!”

Yang Xiaotian maintained his cold exterior. “Relate the events to me, now.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Terrified of incurring his wrath, the two spilled every detail they possessed.

As he listened, the puzzle began to piece itself together.

“So, it is not yet certain that the Feiyang Emperor is dead?” Yang Xiaotian queried.

According to their testimonies, the Emperor was being hunted by the Hou Clan, but his fate remained unconfirmed.

Having obtained the coordinates of the incident, Yang Xiaotian engaged in a Space-Time Instantaneous Movement, vanishing toward the location of the conflict.

Only long after he had vanished did the two men find the strength to steady their shaking knees.
