Yang Xiaotian overpowered the First Demon, Blood Ancestor, and Green Sky Ginseng King in fierce combat, securing the Innate Space-Time Holy Vein despite their assaults. He repelled his foes and stored the treasure for his avatars to refine while continuing to hunt fierce beasts. Over fifty years, his contribution points reached three billion, firmly placing him first ahead of the Master of Holy Realm, as both now pursue the hidden Green Sky Ginseng King.

With fists clenched hard, the Master of Holy Realm snarled viciously, “Yang Xiaotian, once I capture the Green Sky Ginseng King and comprehend the secret of the Creator Realm, it will be your time to die!”

Ever since Yang Xiaotian slew his disciple, the Son of the Holy Realm, a death feud had ignited between him and Yang Xiaotian!

One of them must fall—either Yang Xiaotian or him!

Naturally, he refused to accept that it would be his end!

The Master of Holy Realm blurred into motion, speeding toward the snow-covered mountain range up ahead.

Following the conclusion of the last Eternal Realm Battlefield, he had endlessly pondered the hiding spot of the Green Sky Ginseng King’s lair.

By studying the Green Sky Ginseng King’s habits and movements, he pinpointed more than a hundred possible locations.

The Green Sky Ginseng King’s lair was very likely hidden in one of these over a hundred spots.

The snow-covered mountain range before him counted as one such spot.

Upon reaching the snow-covered mountain range, he summoned ten thousand Thunder Pillars and flung his hands forward: “Go!”

Those ten thousand Thunder Pillars soared forth, embedding themselves around the snow-covered mountain range and bursting with raging thunderbolts that locked down the whole area.

With the snow-covered mountain range sealed tight, the Master of Holy Realm scoured every inch for the Green Sky Ginseng King, slaying every Fierce Beast he encountered in the process.

Before long, all Fierce Beasts in the mountain range lay dead, and he had inspected every corner thoroughly.

Right as the Master of Holy Realm prepared to withdraw the Thunder Pillars and head to the next spot, he halted abruptly, his gaze fixing on a specific peak within the range.

During his Fierce Beast killings earlier, the shockwaves from his attacks had shattered numerous nearby peaks, but this one peak stood completely intact?

That was extremely suspicious!

Suddenly, the Master of Holy Realm launched a mighty fist strike.

Fist power roared fiercely through the air.

It smashed directly into the peak before him.

Boom!

The peak shattered explosively from his fist power.

A verdant glow rocketed skyward.

Sharpening his vision, the Master of Holy Realm spotted the Green Sky Ginseng King!

Upon laying eyes on the Green Sky Ginseng King, overwhelming joy surged through the Master of Holy Realm as he burst into loud laughter: “Little Green Sky, who would have guessed you were concealed here! At last, I’ve tracked you down!”

“The heavens have not abandoned me!”

The Green Sky Ginseng King scowled at the ecstatic Master of Holy Realm: “You again, old geezer! Old man, why are you grinning like that?”

Gazing at the surrounding Thunder Pillars: “You believe this Great Array of Thunder Pillars can confine me?”

No power-based seal could hold it back.

Only a Creator Level Grand Array would suffice; anything less powerful couldn’t contain it, no matter its strength.

Sneering, the Master of Holy Realm replied: “True, my Myriad Thunder Great Array can’t confine you, but it wasn’t designed to seal you in the first place!”

With those words, he swept his hands, triggering the Thunder Pillars to unleash cascading waves of thunder radiance.

Thunder radiance swallowed the Master of Holy Realm, his form blurring before he vanished instantly.

In the next instant, he materialized right in front of the Green Sky Ginseng King at unimaginable velocity, shocking it into activating Space-Time Instantaneous Movement just in time to dodge.

Still, cold sweat drenched it.

Boosted by the Thunder Pillars’ thunder radiance, the Master of Holy Realm’s speed had soared dramatically!

It had almost been seized moments ago!

Suddenly then, the Master of Holy Realm flashed into thunder radiance once more, reappearing before the Green Sky Ginseng King.

Startled, the Green Sky Ginseng King didn’t hesitate and desperately triggered Space-Time Instantaneous Movement to escape.

Yet regardless of its Space-Time Instantaneous Movement attempts, the Master of Holy Realm shadowed it relentlessly, denying any respite.

As it darted past the Thunder Pillars in flight, it discovered they trailed the Master of Holy Realm too, perpetually unleashing thunder radiance to empower him without slowing his pace one bit.

In wild panic, the Green Sky Ginseng King bolted away.

Its lengthy roots proved a hindrance, nearly snared several times by the Master of Holy Realm.

After some frantic evasion, the Green Sky Ginseng King sensed a root yanked taut; glancing back, it saw the Master of Holy Realm gripping that root.

Ecstatic, the Master of Holy Realm clutched the Green Sky Ginseng King’s root and roared with laughter: “Little Green Sky, let’s see you slip away now!”

A brilliant green glow erupted across the Green Sky Ginseng King’s body, snapping off the gripped root by force as it resumed its desperate flight.

Stunned, the Master of Holy Realm hadn’t anticipated the Green Sky Ginseng King severing its own root to break free.

Coldly sneering, he shot back: “Let’s see how many roots you’re willing to sacrifice!”

These vital roots formed the Green Sky Ginseng King’s lifeblood; severing more would drain its essence until it withered away completely.

Instantly morphing into thunder radiance, he resumed the pursuit.

Yet each eruption of thunder radiance from the Thunder Pillars drained massive thunder energy, limiting them to barely an hour’s endurance.

Thus, he needed to seize the Green Sky Ginseng King within that hour, or the effort would prove futile.

The Master of Holy Realm pursued at full throttle.

Multiple times, he latched onto the Green Sky Ginseng King’s roots.

Already, the Green Sky Ginseng King had sacrificed five vital roots!

Having lost five vital roots, the Green Sky Ginseng King’s Space-Time Instantaneous Movement grew far less fluid and swift than initially.

The Master of Holy Realm inwardly celebrated.

Continuing this way, snagging just one more vital root would give him utter certainty of capturing it.

Fleeing desperately forward, the Green Sky Ginseng King’s once-vibrant sheen had dulled markedly.

In its moment of utter hopelessness, a blue-robed figure suddenly appeared flying toward it from ahead.

Spotting the blue-robed figure, the Green Sky Ginseng King exploded with joy, yelling: “Xiaotian, I’m here, I’m here!” Once dreading Yang Xiaotian’s pursuit after the Ice River clash, now it prayed he’d arrive.

Yang Xiaotian turned at the Green Sky Ginseng King’s cry; truth be told, he’d already sensed it, drawn by the immense power clash between the Green Sky Ginseng King and the Master of Holy Realm.

Their combined might was extraordinarily potent, impossible to overlook.

Yang Xiaotian executed Space-Time Instantaneous Movement and arrived swiftly.

Yang Xiaotian’s arrival darkened the Master of Holy Realm’s expression, soon replaced by surging killing intent, signaling his resolve to eliminate Yang Xiaotian as well!

Moments later, Yang Xiaotian stood right before the Green Sky Ginseng King.

“Xiaotian, I know the secret to breaking through to the Creator Realm—as long as you rescue me, I’ll reveal it to you!” the Green Sky Ginseng King urgently cried to Yang Xiaotian.

Yang Xiaotian was startled by the Green Sky Ginseng King’s declaration.

A secret for reaching the Creator Realm?

“I swear it’s true—the secret lies inside the Eternal Realm Battlefield!” the Green Sky Ginseng King hastily clarified, fearing disbelief: “I alone possess this knowledge!”

“Given your genius, you’ll surely master this secret completely!”

“Breakthrough to the Creator Realm will then be within reach!”

Noting the severed vital roots on the Green Sky Ginseng King, Yang Xiaotian’s gaze made it anxious.

“Master that secret, and you’ll gain vast quantities of Nine Hundred Million Years Divine Medicine,” the Green Sky Ginseng King swiftly supplemented.

“Oh? Vast quantities of Nine Hundred Million Years Divine Medicine!” Yang Xiaotian’s interest piqued.

“Yes, more than a dozen Nine Hundred Million Years Divine Medicines await,” the Green Sky Ginseng King pressed eagerly.
