After Yang Xiaotian healed the Feiyang Emperor, the Emperor departed and Yang Xiaotian continued his hunt for ingredients. Years later, Yang Xiaotian’s ranking rose to ninth. He then encountered numerous experts rushing towards the emergence of the King of Divine Medicine, a mythical Green Sky Ginseng King. The Blood Ancestor appeared, terrifying most pursuers, but three ancestors from World Academy continued to chase the ginseng. The Blood Ancestor attacked them, and while they were injured, the ginseng evaded them all, ultimately fleeing towards Yang Xiaotian.

A certain master voiced their inquiry: “Do you believe the Master of the Holy Realm, Your Majesty, possesses the capability to traverse this valley’s Grand Array directly?”

It had become customary for everyone present to draw comparisons between the Master of the Holy Realm and Yang Xiaotian.

While acknowledging the Master of the Holy Realm’s supreme strength, I suspect he might still be unable to penetrate this valley’s Grand Array,” one individual ventured.

“I disagree. The Holy Realm stands as the preeminent power in the Eternal Realm, and the might of the Holy Realm Origin surpasses our comprehension. If the Lord of the Three Realms, Your Majesty, could achieve such a feat, then surely the Master of the Holy Realm should be capable as well!”

“Your use of ‘should’ indicates uncertainty! While the Holy Realm Origin is indeed the most potent force within the Eternal Realm, it is unlikely that it can simply disregard this Kaitian Great Array!”

A lively discussion ensued among the gathered individuals, the memory of the nine billion-year-old divine medicine having faded from their minds.

Meanwhile, after Yang Xiaotian acquired the aforementioned nine billion-year-old divine medicine, he chose not to seek solitude for cultivation. Instead, he allowed his two divine avatars to absorb and refine its essence within his Primordial Cave Heaven.

The presence of the Primordial Cave Heaven and Holy Land significantly accelerated the cultivation progress of his two divine avatars.

Before long, Yang Xiaotian’s two divine avatars successfully refined the nine billion-year-old divine medicine. However, upon reaching the Unity Realm Stage, the efficacy of the ancient divine medicine diminished considerably.

To advance to the Harmonization Realm’s Third Layer, he would require at least another twenty such nine billion-year-old divine medicines.

“I wonder if any ten billion-year-old divine medicines exist within the Eternal Realm Battlefield,” Yang Xiaotian mused internally.

Legend spoke of a ten billion-year-old divine medicine dwelling within the Eternal Realm Battlefield, hailed as the true King of Divine Medicine in that perilous locale!

The Master of the Holy Realm had encountered it once before. Yet, this legendary divine medicine possessed the ability of Space-Time Instantaneous Movement, rendering it immune to spatial constraints and matching the Master of the Holy Realm’s speed, making it impossible for even him to capture.

Should he succeed in obtaining this ten billion-year-old divine medicine, Yang Xiaotian could directly attain the Harmonization Third Layer.

News regarding Yang Xiaotian’s acquisition of the valley’s nine billion-year-old divine medicine and his subsequent elimination of several ancestors from the Ancestor Clan began to disseminate.

Upon learning that Yang Xiaotian had slain multiple Ancestors of the Ancestor Clan, the Ancestral Lord knitted his brows, a sense of unease growing within him.

“Rest assured, Ancestral Lord, Yang Xiaotian is destined to perish within the Eternal Realm Battlefield this time! The Master of the Holy Realm, Your Majesty, will not permit Yang Xiaotian to depart alive!” declared Ancestor Nie Heng of the Ancestor Clan.

The mention of the Master of the Holy Realm brought a measure of relief to the Ancestral Lord.

His gaze drifted to the Eternal Realm List; Yang Xiaotian currently held the seventeenth position.

His own ranking was nineteenth.

However, he recognized that these rankings held limited significance. Prior to the Eternal Realm’s commencement, estimations from the outside world had placed Yang Xiaotian’s strength as second only to that of the Master of the Holy Realm.

Therefore, it was anticipated that Yang Xiaotian would eventually ascend to the second rank on the Eternal Realm list!

“We’ve received word that the Destroying Heaven Demon, the Blood Demon Old Monster, and the Red Dragon Mad Demon have all entered the Eternal Realm Battlefield. Even the Myriad Demon Saint has made an appearance,” stated Ancestor Nie Heng of the Ancestor Clan, a fierce glint in his eyes. “Since Yang Xiaotian seeks to bring ruin to our Ancestor Clan, we need not show him any leniency!”

“Locate and eliminate the Destroying Heaven Demon, the Blood Demon Old Monster, the Red Dragon Mad Demon, and the others!”

“They have caused the deaths of many masters from our Ancestor Clan; therefore, we shall exact vengeance by eliminating as many of Yang Xiaotian’s followers as possible!”

The Ancestral Lord exhibited a moment of hesitation.

“Worry not, Ancestral Lord. The Eternal Realm Battlefield is vast. Even if we eliminate Yang Xiaotian’s followers, it will be exceedingly difficult for Yang Xiaotian to ascertain our involvement,” Ancestor Nie Heng assured him. “Furthermore, once we apprehend Yang Xiaotian’s followers, we can seal the surrounding space and abduct them, leaving Yang Xiaotian completely unaware of our actions!”

A flicker crossed the Ancestral Lord’s eyes before he finally nodded in agreement.

“Find the Destroying Heaven Demon, the Red Dragon Mad Demon, and the others for me!”

“Understood, Ancestral Lord!”

As time continued its relentless march, reports of the demise of numerous renowned experts from disparate realms continued to surface.

Even the tragic end of the Feiyang Emperor was among the circulating news.

Learning of the Feiyang Emperor's demise caused Yang Xiaotian's brow to furrow. A sense of gratitude always lingered in his heart for the Feiyang Emperor. During the conflict on the Feiyang Continent, he had found himself surrounded by the Fog God Temple, Tianhe Sect, White Night Demon Clan, the Eight Great Ancient Demon Corpses, and a host of Ancient Demon Beasts. It was only with the Feiyang Emperor's intervention, leading powerful individuals to his aid, that he could not fathom what fate might have befallen him.

"What a lamentable end for the Feiyang Emperor. Possessing such exceptional talent, had he not perished, he might have ascended to become a ruler on the Eternal Realm list in the future!" a distant cultivator mused, shaking his head with evident envy.

"There is naught to lament. On the Eternal Realm Battlefield, even those who hold sway on the Eternal Realm list are not immune to death. He overstepped, challenging the Hou Clan for a divine medicine that is nine billion years old!" another individual scoffed dismissively.

The Hou Clan again?

Yang Xiaotian’s form flickered, and he materialized before the pair.

As the two were engrossed in discussing the Feiyang Emperor, a silhouette suddenly appeared, obstructing their path. Acting on instinct, they unleashed their attacks, only for their power to halt abruptly in mid-air upon confronting the newcomer.

A jolt of shock coursed through the two.

Yet, neither recognized Yang Xiaotian.

"Who might you be? Why do you impede our progress?" As they stepped back in surprise, their eyes warily scrutinized Yang Xiaotian, prepared to strike at a moment's notice.

"The Hou Clan you speak of, is it the renowned Hou Clan hailing from the Blue Elephant Continent?" Yang Xiaotian, unperturbed by their defensive stance, inquired. "Relate to me the details of the Feiyang Emperor and the Hou Clan's contest for that nine billion-year-old divine medicine."

Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian's mention of the Feiyang Emperor, the cultivator who had earlier derided him let out a cold laugh. "Youngster, who do you think you are? Are you from the Feiyang Empire? And why should we divulge any information to you?"

Evidently, he had mistaken Yang Xiaotian for a dignitary from the Feiyang Empire.

Hearing the other’s defiant retort, Yang Xiaotian directly unleashed the formidable might of his Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body.

Instantly, the power of the Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body erupted with the force of a colossal volcano.

It surged outward, creating powerful gusts that made the very space tremble, propelling the two individuals away in an instant.

Caught completely unaware, the two were violently hurled against a distant mountain peak by the overwhelming pressure of the Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body. As the mountain crumbled beneath them, they scrambled from the debris, their gazes fixed on Yang Xiaotian with abject fear.

"You, you possess the Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body!" The cultivator stammered, paralyzed by fright.

The Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body… could it be that the person before them is none other than…!

Shaking off the dust clinging to them, the pair hastily bowed deeply towards Yang Xiaotian.

"Lord of the Three Realms, Your Majesty!"

Yang Xiaotian regarded them both and stated, "Now, recount the events concerning the Feiyang Emperor and the Hou Clan."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The two, refraining from further speech, hastily poured out all the information they possessed.

Absorbing their hurried accounts, Yang Xiaotian gained a general understanding of the situation.

"Then, it is possible the Feiyang Emperor is not yet deceased?" Yang Xiaotian inquired with keen interest.

According to their fragmented narratives, the Feiyang Emperor was being pursued by the Hou Clan, his survival uncertain, and his demise not definitively confirmed.

After extracting the Feiyang Emperor's likely location from their words, Yang Xiaotian employed a Space-Time Instantaneous Movement technique, hurtling with great speed towards the scene of the Feiyang Emperor's predicament.

It was only after Yang Xiaotian had vanished for a considerable duration that the two men felt the trembling in their legs finally subside.
