Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 446: Chapter 446 Heavenly Tribulation Flame

Wan Ning saw Yang Xiaotian’s happy expression and was pleased herself, she laughed and said, “The Imperial Palace’s feast is at the end of the month. The old ancestor instructed me to make sure I extend an invitation to Junior Brother Yang.”

“Good, Sister Wan can just have someone notify me when the time comes,” Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.

With his current speed of cultivation, by the end of the month, he could completely unblock all the remaining acupoints and just in time for the grand banquet of the Myriad Gods Imperial Palace.

Wan Ning sat in Yang Xiaotian’s cave dwelling for a while before taking her leave.

Once Wan Ning left, Yang Xiaotian allowed the Life God Tree to absorb all the waste residues from the Divine Medicines, and then he focused on comprehending the Sword Dao while waiting for the Life God Fruit to mature.

Sure enough, three days later, the Life God Tree bore three delicate, tender Life God Fruits.

Looking at the three tender Life God Fruits in front of him, Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath. Fragrant! Truly fragrant!

However, Yang Xiaotian was not in a hurry to consume the fruits for cultivation right away but instead left the Azure God Academy to find a secluded place before consuming the Life God Fruits.

As soon as the Life God Fruit entered his mouth, it melted, and Yang Xiaotian circulated the Primordial Dragon Art, repeatedly refining the medicinal power of the Life God Fruit.

Yang Xiaotian’s vitality began to surge continuously.

And his cultivation level was also steadily increasing.

Soon, Yang Xiaotian reached the peak of the late Venerable Realm.

However, after breaking through to the peak of the late-stage Venerable Realm, Yang Xiaotian did not rush to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm, but instead worked hard to condense the True Yuan, compressing both the True Essence in his Dantian and each acupoint again to make it even more robust.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Because once he broke through to the Emperor Realm, the Acupoint True Essence would become fixed and could no longer be expanded or enhanced, so before breaking through to Martial Emperor, he needed to elevate the True Essence in his Dantian and each acupoint to the extreme.

Compressed to the point where it could no longer be compressed.

As Yang Xiaotian continued to refine the Life God Fruits, his vitality, when spread out, turned the Heaven and Earth completely red, intense red, even eventually emitting an alluring golden luster.

The vitality of those in the Divine Spirit Realm has a golden luster, but now, Yang Xiaotian, being only in the Martial Venerable Realm, had golden luster in his vitality.

Moreover, as he continued to refine the Life God Fruit, the golden luster of his vitality became brighter and more intense.

At last, the Life God Fruit was completely refined by Yang Xiaotian.

Only then did he stimulate his vitality and True Essence to start bombarding the remaining acupoints.

Suddenly, the vitality and True Essence inside his body roared incessantly, like the sea at the end of times, as one acupoint after another was brutally blasted open.

Under the bombardment of his powerful vitality and True Essence, the remaining acupoints were ignited and activated like stars.

True Essence Sea kept filling his remaining acupoints.

Soon, he unblocked twelve hundred acupoints.

His True Essence and vitality still forcefully hammered towards the remaining ninety-six acupoints.

Quickly there were ninety left.

Eighty.

Seventy.

The number of acupoints activated and unblocked inside Yang Xiaotian was increasing.

And the radiance of his whole body became more and more intense.

His Eternal Divine Body also began to emit the light of time.

In the end, there was only one acupoint left unopened, and at that moment, the radiance around his body boiled like water.

Not only that, but Yang Xiaotian’s vitality and True Essence were also boiling.

Yang Xiaotian’s body was completely flushed.

From the inside to the outside, from the internal organs to flesh and skin, everything turned red as if his entire being was about to ignite.

Yang Xiaotian was shocked.

What’s happening?

How could the blood and True Yuan in his entire body suddenly start to boil?

Now, the temperature of his entire body was astonishing; it could probably cook a Divine Beast alive.

Furthermore, the blood and True Yuan in his body continued to burn. At this rate, he would certainly be turned to ashes!

“It’s easy to open up all the acupoints in your body,” Master Ding’s voice sounded at that moment, “But when you open all the acupoints and absorb the Heavenly Nectar for the fourth time, as the Eternal Divine Body begins to form, the blood and True Yuan in your body will ignite the Heavenly Tribulation Flame.”

“Heavenly Tribulation Flame?” Yang Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, Heavenly Tribulation Flame,” Master Ding said, “Only if you withstand the Heavenly Tribulation Flame can you survive; if you can’t withstand it, you’ll be turned to ash.”

Yang Xiaotian’s eyes widened.

“The path of cultivation is essentially an act against the heavens. If you want to cultivate the Eternal Divine Body, you must go through life-and-death ordeals,” Master Ding continued, “Otherwise, do you think the Eternal Divine Body is that easy to cultivate successfully?”

Only then did Yang Xiaotian understand why, from ancient times till now, only the Heaven and Earth Dominator could cultivate the Eternal Divine Body.

Since the beginning of the world, there must have been more than one person who was able to draw down the Heavenly Nectar four times, but in the end, they all failed to successfully cultivate the Eternal Divine Body.

Because they could not withstand the Heavenly Tribulation Flame and were eventually reduced to ashes.

“Master Ding, in your opinion, can I withstand the Heavenly Tribulation Flame?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

“It’s difficult!” Master Ding said bluntly.

Yang Xiaotian broke out in a sweat.

“The Heavenly Tribulation Flame is comparable to the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire encountered when breaking through to the Divine Spirit Realm,” Master Ding said, “Even if you’re strong in the Venerable Realm, it’s not possible for you to withstand it.”

Yang Xiaotian felt his heart sink.

Should he give up at the very last step?

However, he had the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire, the Ziwei Divine Flame, and the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire,” Master Ding suddenly shifted his tone, “There’s still hope for you to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation Fire.”

Damn it!

Yang Xiaotian felt an urge to strangle the old man.

Why didn’t he just say that in the first place?

“Although you possess the three great Divine Flames, there is still a risk of being burned to extinction. You need to think carefully!” Master Ding said.

“Just do it!” Yang Xiaotian replied without hesitation, his tone resolute.

The journey of cultivation is all about struggling against Heavenly Fate. If he shrinks back now, then there’s no point in talking about reaching the Divine Spirit Realm, let alone the Heavenly God Realm.

After Yang Xiaotian finished speaking, he bravely spurred his True Yuan and blood to break through the last acupoint.

Boom!

As Yang Xiaotian broke through the last acupoint, it was like thunder exploding, his entire body burst into light, with all acupoints emitting an incomparably fierce golden glow.

One thousand two hundred ninety-six acupoints formed a constellation Formation Map.

Above the Nine Heavens, the golden Heavenly Nectar descended once again.

The moment the golden Heavenly Nectar merged with Yang Xiaotian’s flesh, streams of flame emanated from his True Yuan and blood.

These flames, filled with the aura of Heavenly Tribulation, swept over Yang Xiaotian’s body with the power to burn everything.

Extreme pain spread throughout Yang Xiaotian’s body, reaching the depths of his soul.

Even the pain of merging the Beast Soul of the Abyssal Master wasn’t as excruciating. This pain surpassed any he had previously endured.

Yang Xiaotian’s face contorted in agony.

He clenched his teeth and summoned the power of the three great Divine Flames.

The light of the Ziwei Divine Flame, the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, and the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire blazed forth, their powers constantly resisting the Heavenly Tribulation Fire.

Even so, the pain was excruciating; Yang Xiaotian’s entire body went numb, feeling as if he was being continuously burned inside a cauldron, on the verge of being reduced to ashes at any moment.

Moreover, as the Heavenly Nectar continued to merge with his flesh, the Heavenly Tribulation Flame grew ever stronger.
