Chapter 876: Chapter 876: The Second Defying Heaven Divine Body
The competition for the Outer Sect Disciples of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion was approaching, and before the break of dawn, the entire competing mountain peak was already swarmed with people.
Because Xiaotian was participating in the competition for the Outer Sect Disciples of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion this time, the turnout was extraordinarily large—not just Outer Sect Disciples, but also many Inner Sect Disciples, Core Disciples, and even many of the high-level members of the Divine Mansion had arrived.
Ever since the Mansion Master had made an announcement two years ago that the rewards for the champion of the competition would be doubled if Xiaotian won, everyone knew that the Mansion Master would be paying attention to this competition among Outer Sect Disciples.
Knowing that the Mansion Master was focused on this competition, all the Outer Sect Disciples were excited and buoyant, thinking about how they would show off their strength later to catch the attention of the Mansion Master as well.
As time passed, more and more people arrived at the mountain peak designated for the competition.
Huang Yan and the experts from the Eternal Divine Kingdom had also arrived early.
Standing in the midst of the crowd, she looked forward with eager anticipation.
Thinking that she would soon see Xiaotian’s Godhood, her heart was anything but calm.
While everyone was looking forward with anticipation, Xiaotian, accompanied by Dongfang Ao and the experts from the Dongfang Family, arrived tearing through the sky.
"Xiaotian!"
"Xiaotian has arrived!"
Someone in the crowd said with surprise and delight.
Instantly, everyone’s gaze turned to Xiaotian.
Lin Wei, who had also arrived early, directed his gaze toward Xiaotian as well. Seeing Xiaotian approach, walking on air, dressed in a fluttering blue robe, Lin Wei’s eyes were cold.
In recent days, many disciples had been comparing Xiaotian with him, which was a humiliation for Lin Wei. What qualifications did Xiaotian have to be compared with someone like him, who possessed the Chaos Godhood?
"Young Clan Leader, rest assured, today Xiaotian is sure to die!" an Inner Sect Disciple said ingratiatingly to Lin Wei.
Lin Wei nodded, but the only regret was that he could not personally deal with Xiaotian today.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Xiaotian and Dongfang Ao made their way to the scene.
A moment later, as the time for the competition neared, Elder Zhang Jingzhi descended onto the stage and said, "Now that everyone is here, the disciples who are registering for the competition should come forward to draw lots to determine their opponents."
Xiaotian leapt forward, ascending the stage and joining a group of disciples in drawing lots.
Xiaotian drew the number two for his first match.
Seeing that Xiaotian had drawn the number two, everyone glanced at the numbers in their hands.
The one who drew the number two against Xiaotian was a disciple of Sun Yan.
This Sun Yan was not weak at all, as he was in the early stage of the Divine Master Ten Layers.
Seeing that Xiaotian was set to face Sun Yan in the early stage of the Divine Master Ten Layers, the crowd became restless.
Generally, the disciples who register for the competition are those in the middle stage of the Divine Master Ten Layers or above; Sun Yan, being only in the early stage, dared to sign up, which showed his confidence in his own strength.
"I hadn’t expected Xiaotian to draw Sun Yan," said the Giant Ape Ancestor Bai Liu from within the void. "It seems Xiaotian is bound to face a crushing defeat in his first match!"
Given Bai Liu’s status, he wouldn’t normally pay attention to Outer Sect Disciples, but this Sun Yan was an exception.
Because Sun Yan, like him, was a disciple from the Giant Ape clan, and moreover, he was the most outstanding disciple of this generation within the clan.
"Has Sun Yan’s Giant Ape Shaking Heaven Divine Technique reached the Fourteenth Layer already?" said the Shocking Heaven Sword Ancestor Wu Yin. "With Sun Yan’s current strength, Xiaotian probably won’t be able to take even one punch from him!"
Wu Yin also had a bit of knowledge about this Sun Yan.
Sovereign Zhao Ming of the Pale Blood did not speak, watching the competition unfold in the void like the other Ancestors.
However, everyone had to admit that it seemed unlikely Xiaotian could withstand even a single punch from Sun Yan.
The Giant Ape Shaking Heaven Divine Technique is one of the top Cultivation Techniques of the Beast Clan in the Divine Domain. Once one successfully cultivates it to the Fourteenth Layer, they gain immense strength, astonishing defense, and extremely powerful attacks, capable of summoning the spirit of the Giant Ape, whose might is truly shocking.
Although Sun Yan was only at the early stages of Divine Master Ten Layers, his combat strength was so formidable that it could rival many disciples in the later stages of Divine Master Ten Layers.
As for Yang Xiaotian, he remained calm as he approached the second arena.
Sun Yan had also already arrived at the second arena. He looked at Yang Xiaotian, "Yang Xiaotian, right? I’ve heard you’ve cultivated the Primordial Universe Divine Body and the Five Supreme Sword Domains!"
"However, for a disciple early in the First Layer of Divine Master such as yourself to even think about challenging us, a group of Divine Master Ten Layers, it’s simply overestimating your own abilities!"
"Today, I will let you understand that even if your talent is exceptional, Divine Master Ten Layers is not something a Divine Master One Layer can challenge."
With those words, he invoked the Fourteenth Layer of the Giant Ape Shaking Heaven Divine Technique. A wildly violent current of air entwined around his body, and behind him, a spirit of a thousand-zhang-tall Giant Ape condensed.
"I won’t even need a Divine Artifact. I will use these bare fists. If you can take just one punch from me, I will concede!" Sun Yan declared, his eyes fierce as he stepped forward and was already in front of Yang Xiaotian, unleashing a punch with ferocious force.
The spirit of the Giant Ape behind him let out a thunderous roar.
The power of Shaking Heaven erupted from Sun Yan’s fists.
In this instant, Sun Yan activated all the Divine Power in his Divine Veins and the power of his Divine Body.
Seeing Sun Yan go all out with the Fourteenth Layer of the Giant Ape Shaking Heaven Divine Technique, mobilizing all the Divine Power of his Divine Veins and his Divine Body, everyone’s hearts tightened as they watched Yang Xiaotian.
The Seventh Princess Huang Yan of the Eternal Divine Kingdom gripped her hands tightly with nervousness, her heart pounding.
Lin Wei, seeing Sun Yan’s full-powered attack with no reservations, watched Yang Xiaotian with a cold sneer.
Yang Xiaotian’s Primordial Universe Divine Body may be strong, but as a Divine Master at the First Layer, it was impossible for him to withstand Sun Yan’s punch.
Facing Sun Yan’s punch, Yang Xiaotian didn’t even draw his sword. He activated the Seventeenth Layer of the Primordial Universe Divine Body, with the God of the Primordial Universe condensing behind him and the Force of the Primordial Universe evolving into the Primordial Universe World.
Subsequently, the Divine Light around Yang Xiaotian surged once again.
The second type of Divine Body was activated.
The Power of Primordial Destiny surged across Heaven and Earth.
"What kind of Divine Body is this? How can there be Power of Destiny involved?" Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian activate the second type of Divine Body, some Inner Sect Disciples exclaimed in surprise.
"It’s the Heavenly Fate Divine Body!" an Elder from the Core Disciples exclaimed, face changing drastically with shock.
"What, Defying Heaven Divine Body and Heavenly Fate Divine Body!"
"But, how can the Heavenly Fate Divine Body have Primordial Aura?!" The crowd was astounded.
Elder Zhang Jingzhi, however, cried out in disbelief, "It’s the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Body, the Primordial!"
When the Ancestors saw not only the Heavenly Fate Divine Body but also the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Body activated by Yang Xiaotian, they too were stunned.
"To think it’s the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Body! How did he cultivate the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Body?" The Giant Ape Ancestor Bai Liu was incredulous.
At that moment, one after another, enormous strands of Primordial Heaven Destiny shot out from Yang Xiaotian’s body, with Fifteen Mixed Primordial Life Destinies suspending across the sky, and Primordial Power cascading down like fifteen immense celestial rivers.
"Above Ninefold, the Primordial Heaven Destiny! Fifteen Hunyuan Heaven Destinies!" Elder Zhang Jingzhi said, his voice trembling.
At this point, he and all the Ancestors finally understood how Yang Xiaotian managed to cultivate the unprecedented Primordial Heaven Destiny God Body.
Then, behind Yang Xiaotian, Fifteen Hongmeng Holy Fruits condensed, emitting layers of purple-gold radiance.
"It’s the Primordial Universe Holy Fruit!" exclaimed a Core Disciple in alarm.
Following that, Yang Xiaotian activated all the Divine Power within his Divine Veins.
One after another, the Divine Veins awakened in sequence, with the Divine Power from one thousand two hundred and ninety-six Mutated Divine Veins roaring violently through Heaven and Earth, thunder filling the Nine Heavens.
