Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 678: Chapter 678 Unblocking All Divine Veins

Just at that moment, Master Ding soared through the sky, its body ablaze with golden flames, turning the Boundless Sea Domain a golden red.

Seeing Master Ding taking flight, the face of the Ancient Demon God changed, and he spoke, “Retreat!” After saying that, he fled through the air.

Upon witnessing this, the strong warriors of the Ancient Corpse Demon race scrambled to escape through the air.

The Yama King of Nether Hell and the Undying Demon Emperor, seeing the situation, could only lead their troops to leave as well.

Watching the three great Demon Race armies flee, everyone from the Azure God Continent cheered and leaped for joy.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian and the Kui Ox embarked on a chase, only returning after half a day.

With the departure of the three great Demon Race armies, the previously darkened Azure God Continent was once again bright.

The masters from various empires began to clean up the corpses of the Demon Race.

That night.

Yang Xiaotian gazed at the sword pillars of the Desolate Limitless Sword Formation before him, lost in thought.

This Desolate Limitless Sword Formation was undoubtedly left by a supreme being from the Desolate Era.

But why would someone leave a Desolate Limitless Sword Formation on the Azure God Continent?

He always felt that the Desolate Limitless Sword Formation must be protecting something.

And it was something extremely significant.

Otherwise, that supreme being from the Desolate Era would not have gone to such lengths to set up such a Grand Array.

The Ancient Demon God and others had come, possibly not for the Heart of Azure God, but perhaps for something that the Desolate Limitless Sword Formation was protecting.

In the following days, Yang Xiaotian stayed at Celestial Burial Mountain, alternately studying the notes left by the Lord of Azure God and examining the Desolate Limitless Sword Formation, attempting to comprehend the Sword Runes within the sword pillars.

“These Sword Runes contain extremely profound Forbidden Talismanic Inscriptions. Continuing to study this way, you won’t decipher much,” Master Ding said. “Now that you’ve broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm, you should start with the most basic Forbidden Talismanic Inscriptions.”

Because the power of prohibition involved the forces of Heaven and Earth and spatial power, one could only study and cultivate it after reaching the Divine Spirit Realm.

The most basic Forbidden Talismanic Inscriptions consisted of one thousand two hundred and ninety-six characters.

Such as “Sword, Saber, Water, Fire, Wood…” and so on.

And the Great Array Prohibition is composed of these most basic prohibitions, so to set up a Grand Array, one must first learn to inscribe these talismanic runes.

“However, your Divine Power is now far more vast than that of a Divine Spirit powerhouse at the peak of the tenth layer. You can completely open up your Divine Veins,” Master Ding said. “Try it and see how many Divine Veins you can open now!”

Generally speaking, one could only use their vast Divine Power to open the Divine Veins in their body after reaching the peak of the tenth layer of the Divine Spirit Realm.

But there were exceptions.

For instance, during the battle for godhood, Huang Hao opened up one hundred and twenty Divine Veins while he was only at the fifth layer of the Divine Spirit Realm.

The Divine Son Chen Zhong of the Sumeru Divine Sect, also at the fifth layer, had already opened up one hundred and sixty-eight Divine Veins.

But Yang Xiaotian’s Divine Power was far thicker than theirs, and he could definitely open up even more Divine Veins.

“Master Ding, what if I could open up all the Divine Veins?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

At the Martial Venerable phase, he had opened up all the acupoints and cultivated the Eternal Divine Body.

He was very curious to know what would happen after opening up all the Divine Veins.

He had read many books on Divine Veins, but none described the situation after opening up all the Divine Veins in the body.

“Opening up Divine Veins is harder than opening acupoints. It is very rare for someone to open up twelve Divine Veins at once,” Master Ding said. “If you can open up twelve Divine Veins at once, you will receive the tempering of the power of space!”

“If you can open up twenty-four Divine Veins at once, the power of space will double!”

“If you can open up one hundred and twenty Divine Veins at once, Heavenly Nectar of Origin Power will descend!”

Even Master Ding was visibly excited as he spoke.

Because it knew what the Power of Origin meant.

The Power of Origin is a thousand times better than the Heavenly Nectar.

“The Power of Origin!” Yang Xiaotian was stunned.

He had seen an introduction to the Power of Origin in an ancient book.

“Yes, it’s the Power of Origin!” Master Ding said excitedly, “If you can open up one hundred and twenty Divine Veins each time and absorb the Power of Origin more than ten times, by then, after you pass the Origin Divine Tribulation, you will be able to condense the Origin Divine Body!”

The Power of Origin is the strongest force at the beginning of Heaven and Earth.

The Origin Divine Body is also one of the strongest Divine Bodies between Heaven and Earth.

“Master Ding, how many types of Divine Bodies can a person cultivate in the Acquired stage?” Xiaotian was eager to know.

If he could cultivate the Origin Divine Body, that would make it four Supreme Divine Bodies.

“As far as I know, there are eleven kinds of Divine Bodies,” Master Ding replied.

Eleven kinds of Divine Bodies!

Yang Xiaotian was astounded.

Originally, he thought that having three Divine Bodies was already strong enough, yet there were individuals in the world who had cultivated eleven Divine Bodies!

Just how terrifying must that person’s physical body be?

After all, he currently had only three Divine Bodies, and his defense, strength, and speed were already defying the heavens.

He found it hard to imagine, after this person cultivated eleven Divine Bodies, just how frightening their defense, strength, and speed would be.

“Thus, you still have a long way to go,” Master Ding said. “However, you don’t need to be discouraged. You are only in your twenties, and you’ve already cultivated three Divine Bodies, and each is one of the strongest in Heaven and Earth. You are truly unique in all ages!”

Yang Xiaotian nodded.

Eleven Divine Bodies, huh?

It seemed he needed to redouble his efforts.

“However, the Origin Divine Tribulation is even stronger than the Primordial Universe Divine Tribulation,” Master Ding continued. “When it’s time for you to successfully overcome the Origin Divine Tribulation, you must cultivate the Eternal Divine Body, the Primordial Heaven Destiny Divine Body, and the Primordial Universe Divine Body to the fourteenth layer.”

“Moreover, you must cultivate the fifteen Supreme Sword Intents to Summit Mastery.”

“Only then will you have four chances to successfully overcome the Origin Divine Tribulation.”

Yang Xiaotian broke into a sweat.

“Also, it would be best if you learn to set up a level-ten Grand Array; only then will you have a fifty percent chance of successfully overcoming the Origin Divine Tribulation,” Master Ding added.

Yang Xiaotian: “…”.

Right now, he hadn’t even started learning the most basic 1,296 Forbidden Talismanic Inscriptions.

Only by mastering all the Talismanic Inscriptions could he attempt to set up a level-one minor array, then a level-two array, level-three, level-four…

“Your talent in Alchemy and Artifact Refining is very high, and your talent in array setting should also not be weak. If you practice hard for twenty years, you should be able to learn to set up a level-ten Grand Array,” Master Ding said.

Some Divine Spirit Powerhouses, even after practicing hard for twenty years, might not be able to master the 1,296 Forbidden Talismanic Inscriptions, but for Yang Xiaotian to learn to set up a level-ten Grand Array in twenty years, in Master Ding’s view, was already defying the heavens.

After all, no one has ever been able to learn to set up a level-ten Grand Array in just twenty years.

Twenty years, huh?

Yang Xiaotian nodded.

Then he thought about the Desolate Limitless Sword Formation and asked, “Master Ding, can you discern the treasure guarded by this Desolate Limitless Sword Formation?”

“The Desolate Limitless Sword Formation is indeed guarding a Desolate treasure, and it’s something very useful to you, but it’s not something you can obtain now. Even if you did, you wouldn’t be able to refine it,” Master Ding said. “When you cultivate the Primordial Universe Divine Body to the fourteenth layer and break through to the pinnacle of the Divine Spirit Realm, perhaps then you could refine this Desolate treasure.”
