Yang Xiaotian chased the elusive Green Sky Ginseng King but lost it, determining he must advance his Supreme Holy Body to the Thirty-Seventh Layer or locate the rare Innate Space-Time Holy Vein to succeed. He ramped up Fierce Beast hunts, surging through Contribution Point rankings to challenge the Master of Holy Realm's lead. News spread of an Innate Space-Time Holy Vein fleeing into the perilous Extreme Cold Ice River, pursued by the Green Sky Ginseng King; Yang Xiaotian plunged in, protected by his Nine Great Chaotic Holy Fire. The First Demon and hesitant Blood Ancestor arrived, with the First Demon charging into the river after him.

As the First Demon dove into the Ice River, the Blood Ancestor sensed his face growing scorching hot.

After a brief hesitation, he clenched his teeth and trailed after the First Demon into the Ice River.

Just as the First Demon mentioned, it was merely Yang Xiaotian—what was there to fear?

Moreover, with the two uniting their powers, their combat strength would surge dramatically, potentially allowing them to overpower Yang Xiaotian!

At this point, he no longer dreamed of slaying Yang Xiaotian, merely hoping their combined might could triumph over him!

While Yang Xiaotian sped toward the Ice River's depths, at the core, frigid energy churned like an ocean, and amid this overwhelming chill, the Green Sky Ginseng King radiated a dazzling emerald glow.

Its numerous thick roots stabbed into the Ice River's bed like enormous tentacles, yanking fiercely at the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein concealed below.

Resembling a colossal aquatic beast, the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein unleashed tremendous force, relentlessly countering the Green Sky Ginseng King's tugs.

Monstrous waves of ice erupted across the Ice River's surface.

Myriad ice fragments scattered across endless distances.

The Green Sky Ginseng King knitted its brows.

It never anticipated the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein putting up such fierce opposition; clearly, deploying its Origin Power was necessary.

With that thought, brilliant green radiance erupted over its form, surges of Origin Power channeled into its roots, and bolstered by this Origin Power, its roots' might exploded, dragging the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein slowly from the riverbed with a mighty heave.

With the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein steadily rising, the Ice River's waters burst forth in endless explosions.

Nearby Ice Beasts trying to draw close were all hurled back.

Soon after, the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein began emerging.

This Innate Space-Time Holy Vein resembled a vast white icy stream, stretching hundreds of miles long, beaming with brilliant white radiance.

Gazing upon this Innate Space-Time Holy Vein, the Green Sky Ginseng King revealed a satisfied grin.

Once it claimed this Innate Space-Time Holy Vein and refined every bit of Space-Time Power inside, who in all the world could seize it?

It could even break free from the Eternal Realm Battlefield! No longer confined by the Eternal Realm Battlefield.

Then, it would freely wander the cosmos.

Right as the Green Sky Ginseng King joyfully imagined its wondrous future, a blaze of intense flames ripped through the icy energies, hurtling straight toward it.

A human figure lurked within that blazing inferno!

Spotting this figure, the Green Sky Ginseng King's heart plummeted.

Xiaotian again?!

It urgently boosted its power, desperate to claim the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein before Yang Xiaotian fully arrived.

Yet Yang Xiaotian proved too swift, reaching the spot in a single breath.

Yang Xiaotian's arrival unleashed roaring fire waves that scattered countless icy energies, nearly flinging the Green Sky Ginseng King with the surging flames.

Despite that, it refused to release the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein.

It gripped the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein with unyielding tenacity.

Noticing the Green Sky Ginseng King's refusal to release the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein, Yang Xiaotian swiped with one palm, aiming to seize the Green Sky Ginseng King itself.

Faced with this, the Green Sky Ginseng King had no choice but to drop the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein and execute Space-Time Instantaneous Movement to escape.

Carrying the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein would prevent it from performing Space-Time Instantaneous Movement.

After activating Space-Time Instantaneous Movement, the Green Sky Ginseng King yelled: “Xiaotian, how about we cooperate? We can split this Innate Space-Time Holy Vein together!”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian burst into laughter, his whole body's power erupting as the might of his Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body, akin to fifteen massive peaks, crushed down on the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein. He eyed the far-off Green Sky Ginseng King: “Tell me why I should split this Innate Space-Time Holy Vein with you!”

This Green Sky Ginseng King actually believed him to be an idiot who would share it?

Seeing Yang Xiaotian intent on claiming the entire Innate Space-Time Holy Vein, the Green Sky Ginseng King raged: “Xiaotian, don’t go too far! I was the one who discovered this Innate Space-Time Holy Vein first!”

“If you truly anger me, I, I!”

It repeated 'I' over and over.

“What will you do?” Yang Xiaotian queried with amusement.

“I’ll fight you to the end!” the Green Sky Ginseng King bellowed furiously, then lashed out countless roots through the void, whipping up thousands of energy blades slashing at Yang Xiaotian.

Yet those thousands of energy blades might trouble other peak Harmonization Tenth Layer powerhouses, but against Yang Xiaotian, they were mere trifles.

Yang Xiaotian casually flicked his hand, shattering the thousands of energy blades.

Though the Green Sky Ginseng King's speed exceeded his own, its power lagged far behind.

Purely in raw strength, the Green Sky Ginseng King fell short even of the Blood Ancestor.

The Blood Ancestor couldn't endure one punch from him, much less the Green Sky Ginseng King.

Undeterred, the Green Sky Ginseng King kept assaulting Yang Xiaotian, aiming to hinder his capture of the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein.

It knew full well that should Yang Xiaotian secure the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein, his Space-Time Instantaneous Movement would outpace its own, sealing its fate in the Eternal Realm Battlefield.

Regardless of its assaults, Yang Xiaotian deflected them effortlessly; one hand countered the Green Sky Ginseng King's strikes while the other pressed on with seizing the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein.

Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian detected two formidable auras racing toward them.

He glanced in that direction involuntarily.

There, the First Demon and Blood Ancestor shattered the void, closing in.

Spotting the First Demon and Blood Ancestor arrive, the Green Sky Ginseng King got a clever notion and grinned at them: “Two fellow Daoists, how about we team up against this Yang Xiaotian?”

“Once we obtain the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein, the three of us can split it equally!”

Alone against Yang Xiaotian, it stood no chance for the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein, but allying with the First Demon and Blood Ancestor to overwhelm him offered a shot at sharing the prize.

The First Demon chuckled at the Green Sky Ginseng King's suggestion: “Alright!” Then, a Demon Flute materialized in his grasp, unleashing the Nine Nether Demon Sound.

The Nine Nether Demon Sound welled up ceaselessly from the earth below and ambient space, surging toward Yang Xiaotian.

Watching the First Demon act, the Blood Ancestor and Green Sky Ginseng King also lunged at Yang Xiaotian.

A vast Blood Sea and myriad blades roared toward Yang Xiaotian.

Confronted by the Nine Nether Demon Sound, vast Blood Sea, and myriad blades, Yang Xiaotian roared, “Scram!” His cry boomed like countless thunderclaps detonating, jolting the frigid Ice River into violent tremors.

Even mighty experts beyond the Ice River sensed the horrifying force of Yang Xiaotian's roar.

The Nine Nether Demon Sound vanished instantly.

Meanwhile, the vast Blood Sea and myriad blades struck an unseen barrier, halted hundreds of meters from Yang Xiaotian; no matter their fury, they failed to pierce the shield forged by his Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body might.

Empowered by Yang Xiaotian’s First of Eternity Heart, this barrier from his Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body defied all comprehension in its solidity.

Seeing this, the First Demon smashed his fists at Yang Xiaotian, snarling: “Hell Demon Killing Fist!”

As his punch flew, a colossal Gate of Hell materialized behind him, with endless Demonic Qi pouring out to empower his fist's devastating force.
