Chapter 373: Chapter 373: It’s a Pity Yang Xiaotian Isn’t Here

At last, the twelfth Sword Heart fully solidified.

Twelve Sword Hearts, shining brilliantly.

They were like twelve tiny nine-colored suns, relentlessly emitting layers upon layers of nine-colored Sword Aura.

The mountains and rivers trembled.

All beasts lay prostrate.

The power of the twelve Sword Hearts, supreme above all, stirred the wind and clouds, causing them to change color.

The Azure God Sword Qi, like a boiling sea, churned incessantly.

From a distance, it looked as though bubbles of Sword Qi were rising from the sea of swords.

The Demon Ape and the other overlords, who had lived for many years, witnessed such an astonishing scene for the first time.

Half a day later.

The Azure God Sword Qi dissipated like sword mist.

The figure of Yang Xiaotian appeared, his body pulsing non-stop with nine-colored Sword Qi, driven by the power of the twelve Sword Hearts.

After a long while, the Sword Qi dispersed, and Yang Xiaotian returned to normal.

Watching Yang Xiaotian, the Demon Ape and the others felt that he was different from before, a change from the inside out.

Could it be because he had condensed twelve Sword Hearts?

The group wondered in astonishment.

In fact, the Demon Ape and the others were not wrong in their guess; Yang Xiaotian’s transformation was indeed related to the condensation of the twelve Sword Hearts.

Afterward, Yang Xiaotian did not stay much longer and left with the group, breaking through the sky.

Yang Xiaotian drove the Abyssal Spaceship with all his might, rushing back to the Divine Dragon Empire at high speed.

Having been away from the Divine Dragon Empire for nearly two years, it was time to return.

It was also an opportunity to resolve the matters of the Sky-Stepping Sect and the four Supreme Sects of the Ancient Divine Palace.

Now that he had condensed twelve Sword Hearts, if he could find the Ancient Thunder God Sword and comprehend the Ancient Thunder God Sword Path, there would be hope for him to condense the thirteenth Sword Heart.

Then, only the last Sword Heart would remain.

Yang Xiaotian stood at the bow of the spaceship, lost in thought.

If he could obtain the Divine Shadow Sword from the Azure God Academy and fathom the Divine Shadow Sword Path, there was a chance to condense the final Sword Heart.

However, he recalled the notebook of the old headmaster Cao Shun from the Divine Sword Academy mentioning that one of the ten legendary Divine Swords, the Eternal Night Sword, was in the Death Sword Tomb, so before entering the Azure God Academy, he wanted to visit the Death Sword Tomb to see if he could find the Eternal Night Sword.

“The Eternal Night Sword,” he murmured.

The Eternal Night Sword was the weapon belonging to the ancient ancestor, the Eternal Night Divine Emperor, of the Eternal Night clan.

While Yang Xiaotian was contemplating the matters of the Eternal Night Divine Emperor, the Immortal Demon Ancestor came next to him and mentioned that they were approaching the Dwarf Tribe, asking Yang Xiaotian if he wanted to enter the Dwarf Tribe.

Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment and nodded.

Consequently, the group entered the Dwarf Tribe.

Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, Man Fang, the Dwarf Clan Leader, and the others naturally received him with immense joy and hospitality.

Yang Xiaotian stayed in the Dwarf Tribe for a day and then continued on his journey back to the Divine Dragon Empire.

However, upon leaving the Dwarf Tribe, Yang Xiaotian brought Man Fang and another Divine Spirit Realm powerhouse of the Dwarf Clan, Man Hu, with him.

Now that the Elf Clan had nearly been annihilated and the Undying Death God had been severely injured, Man Fang did not need to sit in the Dwarf Tribe all the time.

Yang Xiaotian was heading back to the Divine Dragon Empire to settle the matter with the Sky-Stepping Sect. Naturally, the more experts by his side, the better.

After leaving the Dwarf Tribe, Yang Xiaotian went into the secret chamber of the spaceship and swallowed the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit for cultivation.

The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit, truly a Heaven and Earth Divine Medicine, seemed to have endless power, continuously surging into every corner of Yang Xiaotian’s body.

Even though Yang Xiaotian possessed the Dragon Emperor’s Body, he felt as if he was about to burst.

This sensation was very similar to the time when he devoured the soul of the Abyssal Master and the Deep Sea Demon Roc, and his body kept swelling.

Yang Xiaotian repeatedly activated the Primordial Dragon Art, striving to refine the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit.

Time slipped away.

His Qi Blood was growing stronger and stronger.

Soon, it reached a radius of three thousand miles.

Then, four thousand miles!

Under the influence of Yang Xiaotian’s tremendous Qi Blood, the entire Abyssal Spaceship radiated an intensely strong red glow, resembling a red sun traversing through space.

Over two months passed, and finally, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit was completely refined by Yang Xiaotian.

And Yang Xiaotian’s Qi Blood had reached an astonishing seven thousand miles!

Yang Xiaotian’s strength had broken through to the ninth level of Martial Emperor.

Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s Qi Blood reaching a shocking seven thousand miles, the Demon Ape and others were utterly astonished, but Yang Xiaotian was frowning. Although seven thousand miles was already quite terrifying, it was still far from his ten thousand mile goal.

He still had half of the Life Essence Fluid, enough for two months of cultivation, but even after devouring this Life Essence Fluid and undergoing bitter cultivation for two months, his Qi Blood would barely reach eight thousand miles.

He was still short by two thousand miles.

Therefore, he must find Divine Medicines like the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit.

Only Divine Medicines like the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit could rapidly increase Qi Blood.

“Master, the Four States Empire is just ahead,” stated the Azure Thunder Python suddenly.

Yang Xiaotian nodded.

Past the Four States Empire lay the Divine Dragon Empire.

Thinking of the impending reunion with his sister Yang Ling’er, Yang Xiaotian smiled—this girl, he wondered how she was doing now.

Almost two years had passed; she must have grown a lot, right?

He wondered if she still liked lollipops as much as before.

This time, he bought quite a few lollipops on the way, of all sorts of flavors.

One day later.

The spaceship entered the Divine Dragon Empire.

The True Dragon Divine Sect was in sight from afar.

Just as Yang Xiaotian hurried towards the True Dragon Divine Sect, he found it strange to see that many experts from the Divine Dragon Empire were also rushing ahead, seemingly heading for the True Dragon Divine Sect as well.

And there were a lot of them.

This made Yang Xiaotian curious, so he stopped someone to ask if something had happened.

The person gave Yang Xiaotian a glance, a strange look in their eyes, “You’re not from the Divine Dragon Empire, are you? The Demon Sky Sword God and the four Supreme Sects have been besieging the True Dragon Divine Sect for several months now, didn’t you know?”

“What!” Yang Xiaotian’s face changed dramatically upon hearing this. He instantly spurred the Abyssal Spaceship to its full capacity, and the spaceship turned into a streak of Demon Light and disappeared on the spot.

A terrifying wave of energy blew the warrior away.

The warrior looked towards the direction of the True Dragon Divine Sect in terror.

What kind of spaceship was this that even the wind it generated could blow him away?

He was, after all, a powerful Martial Venerable.

Meanwhile, the Demon Sky Sword God was still bombarding the True Dragon Divine Sect with Sword Qi as vast and boundless as the sea.

Under his assault, the eighteen Sword Steles of the Sword Path flickered uncertainly.

Looking at the flickering Sword Path, the Demon Sky Sword God sneered. As he had guessed before, the power of the Sword Path was not inexhaustible. As long as he continued his assault like this, the power of the Sword Path would eventually be worn down.

From the looks of the situation, just a few more days of bombarding would completely wear down the power of the Sword Path.

Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and others also saw that the power of the Sword Path was on the verge of being worn down, and they were all inwardly pleased.

“As long as the power of the Sword Path is worn down, it will be the day when the True Dragon Divine Sect is destroyed!” Wu Peng laughed loudly. “Everyone, guard all the exits well, and don’t let any disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect escape!”

“Don’t worry, Wu Brother, this time, not a single disciple of the True Dragon Divine Sect will escape!” Tang Hong said with a smile.

“It’s a pity Yang Xiaotian isn’t here,” Xiao Xiong mentioned.

Wu Peng said with a smile, “As long as we capture Yang Xiaotian’s family, we won’t have to worry about Yang Xiaotian not showing up.”

Inside the True Dragon Divine Sect, seeing the power of the Sword Path about to be worn down, all the disciples were filled with fear and unease.
