Chapter 604 -604: Not the Disciple of Heavenly Monarch Xiao, Liang Heng
Seeing that Liang Heng had comprehended the nine Supreme Sword Intents and stepped into the Sword God Realm, Yang Xiaotian was surprised.
After all, it was very rare to grasp the nine Supreme Sword Intents at the third level of the Divine Spirit Realm.
However, Yang Xiaotian was merely surprised and was not yet shocked.
“Old Xiao, it’s commendable that Liang Heng has grasped the nine Supreme Sword Intents,” the Qi Tian Medicine God said to Heavenly Monarch Xiao with a smile upon seeing that Liang Heng had comprehended the nine Supreme Sword Intents.
Heavenly Monarch Xiao nodded and smiled, “This kid took just over a month to comprehend the ninth Supreme Sword Intent.”
...
Suddenly, at that moment, heaven and earth shook, and Divine Light burst forth from Liang Heng’s entire body as Divine Power roared out.
Qi Tian Medicine God was stunned and exclaimed in surprise, “Divine Veins! Has Liang Heng unlocked his Divine Veins?”
Heavenly Monarch Xiao smiled and said, “This kid unlocked them a few days ago, and he did so in one fell swoop, unlocking twelve Divine Veins.”
In the Martial Venerable Realm, unlocking all the body’s acupoints grants one an immortal body.
Yet in the Martial God Realm, unlocking all the Divine Veins allows the physical body to transform once more to an unbelievable extent.
No one can live forever, but legend has it that one who unlocks all Divine Veins could potentially attain immortality.

However, unlocking the Divine Veins is extremely difficult.
There are one thousand two hundred and ninety-six acupoints in the human body, and an equal number of Divine Veins. These Divine Veins are hidden even deeper within the Divine Body and are exceptionally sturdy, making them very, very challenging to unlock.
Some at the Divine Spirit Realm could not unlock even the first Divine Vein after tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation.
For Liang Heng to unlock twelve Divine Veins in one go was indeed astonishing.
When everyone heard from Heavenly Monarch Xiao that Liang Heng had unlocked twelve Divine Veins in one go, they were all shaken.
Even Wang Yang was taken aback; as someone at the pinnacle of the second level of the Divine Spirit Realm, he naturally understood how difficult it was to unlock twelve Divine Veins at once.
His master was the second Sword God of the Sword God Hall, and naturally, his talent was extremely high. Yet, despite many years of accumulation, he had always been unable to unlock twelve Divine Veins in one attempt.
“Twelve Divine Veins, huh,” Yang Xiaotian said, looking at Liang Heng with his expression still unchanged.
Having unlocked the Divine Veins, the Divine Body was further strengthened, and the Divine Power within became stronger and more profound.
This was the benefit of unlocking the Divine Veins.
It could be said that Liang Heng, with twelve unlocked Divine Veins, was more than ten percent stronger than before he had unlocked them.
With all twelve Divine Veins in his body fully activated, Divine Power around Liang Heng turned into a vast sea.
The nearby weaker Empire Ancestors were sent staggering backward by the shockwaves.
Not to mention other disciples.
However, when Liang Heng’s Divine Power surged towards Yang Xiaotian, it was as though it encountered an invisible barrier, constantly unable to come within ten meters of Yang Xiaotian.
On witnessing this, Liang Heng’s expression turned grave. A Divine Sword appeared in his hand, and he struck fiercely towards Yang Xiaotian.
When he launched his strike, Liang Heng seemed to transform into myriad Sword Qi.
Myriad Sword Qi engulfed heaven and earth.
Under the drive of his Divine Spirit third level and the power of twelve Divine Veins, each strand of Sword Qi possessed the power to pierce through an ancient city.
Everyone held their breath and kept their eyes glued to Yang Xiaotian, afraid to miss even an instant.
Qi Tian Medicine God and Heavenly Monarch Xiao also concentrated intently on Yang Xiaotian’s every move.
While everyone was extremely anxious, Yang Xiaotian remained at ease. This time, he summoned the Fourteen Primordial Heaven Destinies.
The Fourteen Primordial Heaven Destinies floated above the Nine Heavens, their radiance illuminating layer upon layer of space in the Linyuan Imperial Capital.
Even the ground beyond the Linyuan Imperial Capital was fully lit by the light from the Fourteen Primordial Heaven Destinies.
The entire Imperial Capital and the space outside of it trembled violently.
Just when everyone was staring agape, Yang Xiaotian made his move, his Shadow Divine Sword striking out in his hand.
As Yang Xiaotian’s Shadow Divine Sword was unleashed, Yang Xiaotian became one with heaven and earth, with the Fifteen Sword Hearts igniting.
The Shadow Divine Sword unleashed a dazzling and eye-catching sword radiance.
In the realm of the Fourteenth Primordial Heaven Destiny, the Selfless Realm, under the impetus of the Fifteen Sword Heart.
The Sword Light of the Shadow Divine Sword eclipsed Liang Heng’s myriad sword lights.
Continuous explosive sounds reverberated.
Yang Xiaotian’s hand held the Shadow Divine Sword, which broke through Liang Heng’s myriad sword lights, tearing apart his ocean of Divine Power.
Liang Heng, who had transformed into myriad sword lights, reappeared before everyone, struck down by the Shadow Sword Qi from Xiaotian and hurled out of the arena space.
Just like Xie Zetao, he crashed harshly to the ground outside the stage.
Liang Heng spewed fresh blood, his face a mix of fear and disbelief as he looked at Yang Xiaotian.
“Fourteenth Primordial Heaven Destiny!”
“Fifteen Invincible Sword Heart!”
The Qi Tian Medicine God, Heavenly Monarch Xiao’s tongue quivered.
The ancestors of the Linyuan Empire, the Empire Great Emperor nearly lost his composure, nearly tumbling down from the walls of the Imperial Palace.
Strong figures on the scene stared at the Fourteenth Primordial Heaven Destiny high in the sky, their minds going blank.
“Fourteenth Primordial Heaven Destiny!” an elder gasped, “The strongest Heavenly Fate in history?”
In everyone’s understanding, the fourteenth destiny was the limit.
Primordial Heaven Destiny was the strongest of fates.
The Fourteenth Primordial Heaven Destiny was undoubtedly the strongest fate in the world.
“How did he cultivate the Fifteen Sword Heart?” the elders of the Sword God Hall mumbled incredulously, unable to believe it.
Could someone in this world actually cultivate fifteen Sword Hearts?
Cultivating a Nine-Colored Sword Heart wasn’t terrifying, but having fifteen Nine-Colored Sword Hearts was.
No one understood how Yang Xiaotian broke the shackles and cultivated an additional Nine-Colored Sword Heart.
The people of the Sword God Hall couldn’t comprehend, and neither could Qi Tian Medicine God and Heavenly Monarch Xiao.
In the end, Yang Xiaotian won this bout.
Wang Yang looked at Yang Xiaotian, his eyes filled with nothing but reverence.
Even Liang Heng, who had reached the third level of the Divine Spirit and had grasped the nine Supreme Sword Intents, broke through twelve Divine Veins, was defeated—where on earth did this monster come from.
When Yang Xiaotian stepped off the stage, the entire venue was silent, not a soul making a sound.
Watching Yang Xiaotian descend from the stage, Heavenly Monarch Xiao thought once again of the future scene.
He was now almost certain that the young man in blue in front of him was the same youth from the future vision.
Thinking of countless Divine Spirits prostrating at his feet, Heavenly Monarch Xiao’s heart trembled.
Meanwhile, Peng Fei and Peng Hui thought back to what Peng Long had said before—that in this battle for divinity, Young Master Yang would surely seize the first place.
Peng Fei was so full of regret that it practically turned his insides blue.
Subsequently, after another two matchups, Yang Xiaotian claimed first in the Imperial Preliminary Selection.
In the two following contests, both Wang Yang and Peng Lin were similarly defeated by Yang Xiaotian’s Fourteenth Primordial Heaven Destiny and Fifteen Sword Heart.
Yang Xiaotian’s first place in the Linyuan Empire’s Initial Selection spread like a super typhoon, shaking the entire Linyuan Empire.
Neighboring empires were shaken as well.
Just as the Linyuan Empire’s Initial Selection concluded, the Fengming Empire’s Initial Selection, governed by Heavenly Monarch Yan, also ended.
Heavenly Monarch Yan and Heavenly Monarch Xiao were both among the Heavenly Court’s ten great Heavenly Monarchs, and this time his Direct Disciple also participated in the Imperial Selection.
And his disciple, Huang Yuan, captured first in the Fengming Empire’s Initial Selection.
His disciple Huang Yuan winning the first place in the Imperial Selection brought great joy to Heavenly Monarch Yan, who celebrated with all the strong beneath him.
At this time, the Fengming Empire Great Emperor entered the grand hall with a complex expression and said to Heavenly Monarch Yan, “Your Excellency, we have just received news—the Linyuan Empire’s Initial Selection has ended as well, but the person who seized first place is not Heavenly Monarch Xiao’s disciple Liang Heng.”
