The Blood Ancestor gritted his teeth and followed the First Demon into the Ice River to confront Yang Xiaotian. At the depths, the Green Sky Ginseng King exerted its Origin Power to extract the massive Innate Space-Time Holy Vein, but Yang Xiaotian arrived swiftly, repelling its attacks and suppressing the vein with his Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body. The Ginseng King proposed splitting the treasure before futilely assaulting him. Detecting the duo's approach, the Green Sky Ginseng King rallied them into an alliance, and the trio launched a combined onslaught of demon sound, blood sea, blades, and Hell Demon Killing Fist, all thwarted by Yang Xiaotian's thunderous shout and unbreakable barrier.

Yang Xiaotian gazed coldly at the First Demon's ferocious Demon Killing Fist. He countered with his own punch, summoning three thousand Innate Demon Ancestors and a hundred thousand Innate Great Demons behind him as he struck!

Immense Innate Demon God Power, endless and overwhelming, roared forth like a gigantic tsunami.

Boom!

Yang Xiaotian's fist smashed straight into the First Demon's strike.

The horrifying demonic energies from both continued to collide fiercely, their powers slamming into each other time and again.

Ice mountains encircling the Ice River got blasted skyward instantly, with countless ice fragments hurtling dozens of miles distant.

Demon roars thundered across the heavens and earth, plunging everything into shadow.

The once pristine white Ice River now resembled a hellish Demon’s World.

A tremendous force slammed into the First Demon, preventing him from steadying himself as he tumbled backward, smashing through flying ice mountains before halting hundreds of miles away.

Blood surged chaotically inside him, on the verge of spewing out yet held back.

Gazing at Yang Xiaotian, terror filled his eyes uncontrollably.

After all these years, Yang Xiaotian had advanced to this terrifying level?!

He had once intended to seize Yang Xiaotian as his disciple; back then, the other was utterly feeble, merely an ant in his sight.

Yet this former puny ant had evolved into a fearsome Tyrant Dragon that now instilled dread in him!

Possessing a natural Supreme Demon Body and Supreme Demon Bloodline, he understood his own might perfectly—in all Eternal Realms, solely the Creator Lord and the Master of Holy Realm exceeded him.

However, Yang Xiaotian, merely at Harmonization Second Layer Realm, had utterly crushed him!

What's more, Yang Xiaotian hadn't even tapped into the Primordial Demon World Origin yet.

“Kill!” Repelled once more, the First Demon lunged ahead again, unwilling to abandon the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein.

The Blood Ancestor and Green Sky Ginseng King joined the assault at the same moment.

Yang Xiaotian effortlessly fended off the trio's onslaught.

Meanwhile, his opposite hand kept seizing the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein.

No matter how the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein twisted and resisted under Yang Xiaotian's hold, its efforts proved useless.

Any other powerhouses witnessing this would be shocked, aware that the First Demon and Blood Ancestor ranked fourth and fifth on the Eternal Realm List—peerless beings.

Even with those two uniting alongside the Green Sky Ginseng King's all-out effort, Yang Xiaotian repelled them solo with ease.

Yet he spared attention to claim the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein.

Every blow from Yang Xiaotian forced the First Demon and Blood Ancestor to stagger back.

At first, the three could just barely endure Yang Xiaotian's might, but as his strength swelled relentlessly, their burden intensified.

Once Yang Xiaotian drew upon the Primordial Demon World Origin’s power, the First Demon and Blood Ancestor vomited massive quantities of blood with each blast backward.

The Green Sky Ginseng King fared slightly better, evading via Space-Time Instantaneous Movement.

After prolonged assaults that inflicted no damage on Yang Xiaotian while their own wounds mounted, frustration gripped the First Demon and Blood Ancestor.

If the fight dragged on, they might end up crippled.

Aware of this peril, the pair opted to retreat.

As they attempted flight, Yang Xiaotian unleashed a punch infused with Primordial Demon World origins, Ancestor Dragon Realm, and Bright Heavenly Realm—bolstered by a billion Innate Holy Spirits!

In mid-escape, the First Demon and Blood Ancestor sensed the horrifying might pursuing them; turning abruptly, they beheld a stupefying sight.

With Primordial Demon World, Ancestor Dragon Realm, and Bright Heavenly Realm powers converging, Yang Xiaotian's fist devoured the skies, dominating every realm and obliterating all in its path.

Seized by dread, they fled desperately, activating every defensive barrier while countering with their ultimate strikes to halt Yang Xiaotian's blow.

Boom!

As their joint forces met Yang Xiaotian's punch, weightlessness overtook them; they rocketed backward through mists and clouds, ultimately slamming into the Ice River's surface.

Disregarding wounds, they plunged into the distant void to flee.

Observing this, the Green Sky Ginseng King knew staying was pointless and vanished swiftly via Space-Time Instantaneous Movement.

Yang Xiaotian let the Green Sky Ginseng King depart without chase, declaring, “Little Ginseng, once I refine this Innate Space-Time Holy Vein, I’ll come for you!”

The Green Sky Ginseng King nearly tripped mid-escape.

With the Green Sky Ginseng King gone, Yang Xiaotian's aura exploded; he fully subdued the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein, sealed it with Great Array Runes, and hauled it off directly.

Beyond the Ice River, numerous powerhouses waited tensely.

As Yang Xiaotian's, the First Demon's, and Blood Ancestor's energies dissipated, onlookers exchanged glances, debating the fight's result.

Though formidable, could Yang Xiaotian endure the First Demon and Blood Ancestor's combined fury?

Having yanked the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein free, Yang Xiaotian stored it in his Primordial Cave Heaven for his two Divine Avatars to absorb and refine.

He pressed on slaying Fierce Beasts.

Years flew by.

Yang Xiaotian's Contribution Points overtook the Master of Holy Realm's, locking in his top spot.

Even as the Master of Holy Realm pursued relentlessly post-surpass, Yang Xiaotian held first place securely, his points climbing steadily higher.

Fifty years into the Eternal Realm Battlefield's opening, Yang Xiaotian fully refined the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein, propelling his Supreme Holy Body to the Thirty-Seventh Layer!

His Contribution Points then hit three billion.

“Three billion!” Yang Xiaotian exhaled in relief.

Seven billion to go!

Fifty years remained—he had to locate the Green Sky Ginseng King soon.

In the following period, Yang Xiaotian employed his Supreme Holy Body's Space-Time power to detect the Green Sky Ginseng King.

Post-Ice River clash, the Green Sky Ginseng King had vanished; years passed without sightings.

Yang Xiaotian surmised it hid in its den.

Yet its lair's location eluded everyone, forcing a painstaking search.

Now, with Supreme Holy Body at Thirty-Seventh Layer, his detection spanned vastly farther—anywhere within ten thousand miles, no matter the Space-Time Layer, he could pinpoint the Green Sky Ginseng King!

As Yang Xiaotian hunted the Green Sky Ginseng King, so did the Master of Holy Realm.

Since prior Eternal Realm Battlefield's close, extensive study yielded a method to seize the Green Sky Ginseng King.

This King of Divine Medicine in the Eternal Realm Battlefield held countless battlefield secrets, perhaps even Creator Realm breakthrough keys; capturing it might reveal transcendence secrets.

While pursuing the Green Sky Ginseng King, the Master of Holy Realm slew Fierce Beasts too, yet Yang Xiaotian's widening Contribution Points lead soured his mood progressively.

Over fifty years, he amassed two billion points; at this rate, he'd end with four billion!

A billion more than last time!

But Yang Xiaotian already led by a billion—by battlefield's close, the gap would hit two billion?
