Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 540: Chapter 540 Kunlun Sword Debate

A hundred thousand years!

Upon hearing that the Elder of Ages hadn’t appeared for a hundred thousand years, Yang Xiaotian felt a heavy sink in his heart.

Looking at it this way, finding the Elder of Ages was almost an impossible task.

In this vast world, searching for a person was harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

Wouldn’t he then only be able to wait for the Destiny Temple to open again in ten years and enter the Goddess Palace to search for the Divine Divine Martial Arts?

Ten years!

For him, that was too long.

In ten years, even the pickled vegetables would go cold.

The Titan Giant Demon looked at Yang Xiaotian, obviously wanting to say something but hesitating.

“Speak your mind,” Yang Xiaotian urged, noticing his demeanor.

“Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect exterminated the Poison Shadow Sect yesterday!” The Titan Giant Demon finally said.

The instant Yang Xiaotian heard this, he flew into a rage, his fists clenched tight, his voice very cold, “Hundreds of thousands of disciples from the Poison Shadow Sect are dead?!”

The Titan Giant Demon nodded, “That Li Le, he’s dead too, and his death was miserable. They beheaded him in public and cut off his limbs as well.”

In other words, Sect Leader Li Le of the Poison Shadow Sect didn’t even leave behind an intact corpse.

Fury uncontrollable in his heart, a murderous look flashed in Yang Xiaotian’s eyes, “Who was it?!”

“It was on the orders of the Sun Moon Holy King, but the one who beheaded Li Le was Liang Gang,” the Titan Giant Demon then added, “Liang Gang is that guy Qian Yuan’s master.”

Yang Xiaotian’s eyes turned colder—so Liang Gang was a disciple of Zhao Rong?

The Titan Giant Demon said in a grave voice, “It is said that Zhao Rong has successfully cultivated the Fifteen Sword Intents.”

Yang Xiaotian’s heart sank.

He hadn’t expected Zhao Rong to master the Fifteen Sword Intents so quickly.

“In your opinion, how strong is Zhao Rong?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

The Titan Giant Demon pondered, “Very strong, very strong.”

As a supreme being among demons, the demon among demons, with strength that could look down upon the entire Myriad Swords Continent, there weren’t many who could catch his eye. Many sword gods on the Sword God List didn’t even enter his consideration.

But now, he had uttered ‘very strong’ twice in a row.

This was indicative of Zhao Rong’s power.

Then, the Titan Giant Demon said, “In this Kunlun Sword Debate, Zhao Rong will likely seize first place.”

“Kunlun Sword Debate!” Yang Xiaotian’s hand, holding his drink, paused.

He was aware of the Kunlun Sword Debate.

Every six thousand years, the Myriad Swords Continent would hold a Kunlun Sword Debate.

At that time, countless masters of the Sword Dao from across the Myriad Swords Continent would gather at Kunlun Divine Mountain for a competition of swordsmanship and a ranking on the Sword God List.

The Kunlun Sword Debate was the most grand event on the Myriad Swords Continent, bar none.

Almost every sword god on the continent would attend each iteration of the Kunlun Sword Debate.

His master, Divine Master Hong Feng, was currently ranked first on the Sword God List.

And in a year’s time, six thousand years would pass, and the next Kunlun Sword Debate would take place.

“First place,” Yang Xiaotian repeated gravely.

The Titan Giant Demon nodded, “If Divine Master Hong Feng does not make an appearance this time, Zhao Rong might indeed take first in the Kunlun Sword Debate.”

Meaning, if Zhao Rong managed to take first place in the Kunlun Sword Debate a year from now, he would become the top ranked on the Sword God List, replacing his master, Divine Master Hong Feng.

Currently, Zhao Rong was the acting Sect Hierarch of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect. If he could claim the top spot on the Sword God List, becoming the number one Sword God, his prestige would reach an astonishing level.

By then, if Yang Xiaotian wished to take back control of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect, it would be even more difficult.

Yang Xiaotian’s eyes turned cold once more, indicating he had to attend this iteration of the Kunlun Sword Debate at any cost.

Within this year, he had to strive even harder and more crazily to increase his strength.

Before that, he at least needed to cultivate fifteen Mixed Primordial Life Destinies and achieve the Heavenly Fate Divine Body.

Of course, reaching the Saint Realm would be even better.

However, by the time he ascended Kunlun Divine Mountain, he was sure to clash with Zhao Rong—his own power was still too weak, a single Titan Giant Demon was far from enough.

Yang Xiaotian no longer felt like drinking. He returned to the palace and continued his cultivation.

He wasn’t in a hurry to refine the Sand of Time and instead took out a Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stone, absorbing its energy to continually consolidate his Divine Sea World.

The energy from the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stone kept drifting into his Divine Sea World, pouring into it like a rain of golden nectar.

Suddenly, his Divine Sea World began to shimmer with light.

Like parched earth, his Divine Sea World thirstily absorbed the energy of the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stone; the more it absorbed, the brighter and more solid it became.

Over these days, after devouring the energy of many Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, his Divine Sea World had become extremely stable, and now, with the tempering from the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stone, it became even more solid.

Originally, the color of his Divine Sea World was the same earthen yellow as the earth, but now it was becoming increasingly radiant, shifting toward a golden hue.

The energy of the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stone was far beyond what a Heavenly Fate Divine Stone could provide. After refining one Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stone, Yang Xiaotian felt his Divine Sea become crystal clear.

He took out a second Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stone and continued to absorb.

By the time he finished refining the second Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stone, it was already New Year’s Eve.

Yang Xiaotian came out and joined the Titan Giant Demon around the bonfire, drinking and eating meat.

Two grown men spent New Year’s Eve in this way, gathered around the bonfire.

The Titan Giant Demon laughed, “In past years I was always alone; this year, I finally have company.”

Yang Xiaotian smiled in response.

Well into the night, Yang Xiaotian returned to the palace and continued to devour and cultivate with the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stone.

By the time Yang Xiaotian absorbed the seventh Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stone, his Divine Sea World had completely turned to gold, reflecting a golden radiance.

When he absorbed the tenth stone, his Divine Sea World started changing into an array of multicolored hues.

After he absorbed twelve Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stones, his Divine Sea World was multicolored and had become astonishingly strong.

However, Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brow; after absorbing twelve Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stones, although his Divine Sea World had undergone incredible changes, it still hadn’t metamorphosed.

Forget withstanding fifteen Mixed Primordial Life Destinies—he couldn’t even withstand fourteen.

He could at most withstand thirteen Mixed Primordial Life Destinies.

And even that was a struggle.

‘Struggling’ meant there was still danger.

It seemed he needed to find more Primordial Heaven Destiny God Stones.

Yang Xiaotian felt helpless.

However, he wasn’t in a rush to trigger the tenth Primordial Destiny Tribulation, but instead chose to first refine the Sand of Time to enhance his Eternal Divine Body.

This time, he had obtained three clusters of Sand of Time, enough to substantially elevate his Eternal Divine Body.

He first took out one cluster of Sand of Time and began to refine it, circulating his Cultivation Technique.

The Sand of Time swirled around Yang Xiaotian’s body, transforming into specks of light, steadily merging into his Eternal Divine Body, transforming into the Power of Time of the Eternal Divine Body.

Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged there, surrounded by the luminance of time.

As time passed, the glow of time grew more intense.

Ten days later, Yang Xiaotian had completely refined all three clusters of Sand of Time.

After refining the three clusters of Sand of Time, the Power of Time in his Eternal Divine Body had doubled in strength, nearing the threshold of minor completion. @@novelbin@@

He was only half a step away from breaking through to the minor completion stage.

This half-step gap truly left Yang Xiaotian speechless.
