Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”The Young Master is coming in person?”

It was a long moment before one of the Seven Evils finally spoke up.

By this time, the Communication Talisman had already gone quiet.

It was no longer transmitting any image.

”That’s right. The Young Master is coming to kill that kid himself.”

Celestial Evil spoke.

But his expression was somewhat bitter.

’This Young Master...’

’Coming here so recklessly... who knows what kind of trouble he’ll stir up? And when he does, we’ll obviously be the ones taking the fall for it.’

But that was what Celestial Evil thought.

The other Evils, including the ever-steady Earth Evil, did not see it that way.

”The Young Master coming is a great thing! Maybe after we kill this kid, we can go back with the Young Master instead of waiting here to die.”

Fire Evil said happily.

”Well said. I just wonder when the Young Master will arrive.”

Golden Evil also looked on with anticipation.

Seeing his six brothers like this, Celestial Evil didn’t say anything more.

He thought to himself.

’My brothers have a point. We came here on a suicide mission before because we were wary of Yang Xiao’s identity and needed to distance the Young Master from the assassination.’

’But now, the Young Master is going to act personally. He must not be trying to avoid suspicion anymore.’

’In that case, if we actually succeed...’

’...then we won’t have to die to erase all traces, regardless of success or failure, like in our original plan.’

’We’d have a way to survive.’

’The chances might be slim, but at least there’s a possibility now.’

Even Celestial Evil couldn’t help but feel a sliver of anticipation.

”Keep a close eye on that kid. We can’t have him disappear by the time the Young Master arrives. It’ll be hard to explain it to him then.”

He said lightly.

The other six Evils tensed up as well.

The seven of them ceaselessly shrouded the area around the Forbidden Fire Domain with their Divine Thoughts.

The slightest disturbance would instantly alert them.

At this moment, inside the Purple Fire Area, Yang Xiao opened his eyes.

’The Thirty-six Great Divine Techniques and those Pseudo-Divine-Demonic Steles are finally dealt with. Now, everything is ready, just waiting for the final push. I can begin my advancement.’

Yang Xiao smiled faintly.

In just over ten days, he had fully comprehended the Thirty-six Great Divine Techniques, and he had also finished absorbing the Pseudo-Divine-Demonic Steles that he had unconsciously created earlier.

The power of his Heavenly Venerable Divine Soul had greatly surpassed his expectations.

Originally, Yang Xiao thought his Divine Soul wouldn’t be able to absorb many of the Pseudo-Divine-Demonic Steles and that a lot of energy would inevitably be wasted. But in the end, his Heavenly Venerable Divine Soul had actually devoured all of them.

His Spiritual Level had soared all the way to the Peak of the Divine Communication Realm.

As for the next step, he could not transform any further.

Because the next stage was Spiritual Qi Fusion to condense a Divine Format.

Therefore, before becoming a True God, Yang Xiao’s Spiritual Level would not increase again.

But while the level couldn’t be raised, his Spiritual Power could continue to grow. Specifically, the capacity and purity of his Divine Soul could be continuously enhanced.

Generally speaking, the more advanced the form of a Divine Soul, the greater the Spiritual Power it can contain.

And the Heavenly Venerable Divine Soul clearly did not disappoint Yang Xiao.

In one fell swoop, it had devoured the entire Essence of a Demon Venerable, a being comparable to a Top-tier Divine King.

This meant that in terms of sheer quantity of Spiritual Power, Yang Xiao was now equivalent to a Top-tier Divine King.

This was an absolutely astonishing feat.

But at the same time, it made Yang Xiao even more confident about his own Divine Aspect.

’My Heavenly Venerable Divine Soul can contain the power of a Top-tier Divine King, so what about a Heavenly Venerable Divine Aspect? Once it’s condensed, just how powerful will it be?’

Yang Xiao was filled with anticipation.

So, once all his preparations were complete, he immediately drew out a ball of Divine Fire that he had long kept ready within his body. This was the very Divine Fire he had obtained from the base of the Flame Mountain on the Profound Sun Continent.

’The three Supreme Yang Flames in my body are all at the Divine Fire level. This first Divine Fire I obtained is the weakest, only slightly stronger than the previous Cyan Simurgh Divine Fire. Next is the Greater Yang Divine Fire. I originally thought this Greater Yang Divine Fire would be my final trump card, something I could use to break through to the Cyan Flame Sixth Revolution, but I never expected to obtain the Origin Divine Fire.’

’The Origin Divine Fire is a flame second only to the Heaven and Earth Origin Fire within my body. Although it’s not a Supreme Yang Divine Fire, with my mastery over flames, I can easily transform this Origin Divine Fire into a Divine Fire of Supreme Yang and Firmness, even more powerful than the Greater Yang Divine Fire.’

Thus, Yang Xiao’s advancement this time would proceed in three steps, using the ordinary Divine Fire, the Greater Yang Divine Fire, and the Origin Divine Fire.

Soon, the ordinary Divine Fire merged into Yang Xiao’s Heaven and Earth Origin Fire.

The aura around him instantly surged.

In a single leap, he broke through from the Peak of the Small Divine Power Realm to the Great Divine Power Realm First Layer.

At the same time, streams of Divine Power gathered within his body, finally merging into one of his Divine Pills.

With a CRACK, the Divine Pill split open.

It quickly fused with the power of the Thirty-six Great Divine Techniques that had been integrated into it earlier.

It transformed into a brilliantly golden sun.

This was the Great Sun Divine Aspect that Yang Xiao had condensed.

For an ordinary person, reaching this step would mean a successful breakthrough.

But for Yang Xiao, this was not enough.

He was still far from finished.

And so, he once again circulated the aura in his body, unleashed the Thirty-six Great Divine Techniques, and refined stream after stream of Divine Power.

The power entered another Divine Pill.

Once again, a Great Sun Divine Aspect was formed.

And so it went.

Stream after stream of Divine Power.

One Great Sun Divine Aspect after another.

In just a short while, twenty Great Sun Divine Aspects of different colors had formed inside Yang Xiao’s body.

The most peculiar among them was, naturally, the Great Sun Divine Aspect condensed from the Time Divine Pill. The seven-colored hue representing time and the grey-black color representing corrosion were intertwined.

It contained a terrifying power within, seeming as though a single glance could injure a person.

Yang Xiao knew at once.

’This Great Sun Divine Aspect I’ve chosen isn’t half bad. Even if I fail in a moment, I could probably use these Great Sun Divine Aspects to form an Array, just like I did with the Divine Pills before.’

Of course, Yang Xiao didn’t think for a moment that he would fail.

’My Heavenly Venerable Divine Soul contains power comparable to a Top-tier Divine King. If I can’t even refine a mere Divine Aspect with that, it would be an absolute joke.’

Yang Xiao smiled faintly.

Once again, he condensed the power of the Thirty-six Great Divine Techniques.

Only this time, these streams of Divine Power were incredibly massive, and their target was no longer the Divine Pills, but the Divine Soul.

When the thirty-six massive streams of Divine Power combined with his Heavenly Venerable Divine Soul, a tremendous RUMBLE echoed from within Yang Xiao’s body.

Immediately after, an incomparably massive Heavenly Venerable Divine Aspect rose up within Yang Xiao’s Sea of Consciousness.

In an instant, it shattered the confines of his Sea of Consciousness, appeared within Yang Xiao’s body, and connected with his Qi Sea.

’Success!’

Yang Xiao’s Heavenly Venerable Divine Aspect was a success!

Next came the final step that would determine if the Heavenly Venerable Divine Aspect could become Yang Xiao’s greatest trump card: fusing it with the twenty Great Sun Divine Aspects from before.

Perhaps because Yang Xiao had already integrated these twenty Great Sun Divine Aspects into the Chaos Secret Pattern, or perhaps because they all shared the same origin, the twenty Great Sun Divine Aspects very quickly entered the Heavenly Venerable Divine Aspect.

They completely condensed into a new Divine Aspect.

A Heavenly Venerable Divine Aspect that belonged solely to Yang Xiao.

’Now, *this* is a complete success! Next, I’ll focus on raising my cultivation with all my might. With half a year’s time and so much Fire Attribute Power here, it’s more than enough!’

Seeing the Heavenly Venerable Divine Aspect take form, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.

He began to rapidly increase his cultivation.

And just as he began his steady ascent, the void above the Seven Evils suddenly split open.

Immediately after, a figure stepped out.
