Chapter 111: Snatching the Spoils from the Tiger's Mouth

For two days, the fifth-rank spirit beasts had no strength to resist, lying on the ground gasping for breath, their life force dissipating, their mournful cries unceasing.

“Such a venomous heart.” Watching the woman’s furious expression, Yang Tian’s face grew colder, a bone-piercing murderous intent surging within him, his small face icy. This woman was going to shake the two spirit beasts to death directly.

The woman seemed to sense something, suddenly turning her head to look in a certain direction.

“Not good!” Yang Tian’s expression changed drastically. He instantly shut his eyes tight, retracting his aura in an instant. That sharp gaze just now had nearly crushed his mind.

The graceful woman kept scanning the place where Yang Tian was hiding. Before her, the two massive figures were now gasping for breath, on the verge of falling unconscious.

“Human, don’t go too far. The Ten Thousand Great Mountains are not your human territory.” Suddenly, an aged voice slowly echoed through the heavens and earth, a hint of fury undisguised.

In the distance, a purple figure appeared. The aura it exuded was terrifying; even the void twisted, and the surrounding fierce beasts all prostrated on the ground, fear flickering in their eyes.

“Purple-Eyed Essence Gold Beast!” Looking at the shadow striding through the air in the distance, Yang Tian’s throat bobbed. This was an ancient mutant beast with three eyes, and the third eye was its innate divine ability!

“A sixth-rank exotic beast…” Yang Tian smacked his lips. This beast was too terrifying, usually hiding deep in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains and rarely appearing. It must have been drawn here by her.

The graceful woman also recognized its origin, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes. But her movements quickened, and her jade palm pressed down directly.

“You still want to kill people in my presence? Do you not take this emperor seriously?” Seeing this, the Purple-Eyed Essence Gold Beast sneered. A dazzling divine light surged from within its body, directly piercing through the void and attacking the jade palm.

“They must die. Can those who kill people from my Ancient Sacred Ground still expect to live?” The graceful woman sneered. As her jade palm turned, a vast surge of energy burst forth. A giant palm shadow swept across the void and clashed with the purple light pillar.

Boom! Dazzling light burst forth, the void collapsed, and surging waves of air spread out. The void for thousands of zhang around was blasted into a vacuum zone. The erupting air waves, like a sharp sword, severed countless mountains.

“So formidable. A casual strike can create such power. Both of them should be no ordinary emperor-level experts.” Hiding inside the Golden Crow Divine Furnace, Yang Tian couldn’t help smacking his lips. This momentum was too overwhelming.

“Although your Ancient Sacred Ground is flourishing, don’t forget where this is. Do you think our demon race fears you?” The Purple-Eyed Essence Gold Beast sneered coldly. The Ten Thousand Great Mountains were a gathering place for demon beasts, with great demons stationed inside. How could it be a place for a sacred ground to act arrogantly?

“I don’t care where this is. They must die!” The graceful woman’s arrogance was unabated, her momentum undiminished. But she did not act rashly; the Purple-Eyed Essence Gold Beast’s cultivation was very high.

“Haha, ridiculous. You humans are the best at boasting. If you have the skill, come at me. If you defeat me, they are yours to do with as you please. This emperor will not interfere!” The Purple-Eyed Essence Gold Beast was unimpressed and sneered at the graceful woman.

“Fine, then let’s settle it with our skills!” The graceful woman’s brows shot up, her aura climbing steadily. A faint blue light appeared on her jade hands, and her entire hands instantly became crystalline.

The graceful woman seemed to be activating a very profound martial technique. The essence energy of heaven and earth for dozens of li around surged wildly, all converging onto her jade palm, radiating an immense oppressive force.

Like viscous essence energy, it coalesced into a palm shadow on the graceful woman’s hand. Around the palm shadow, divine pattern chains interwove, exuding boundless majesty.

“Ancient Heaven-Crushing Palm!” The graceful woman cried out lightly. The great palm surged, layers of palm shadows piercing through the void and striking toward the Purple-Eyed Essence Gold Beast.

“Roar…” The fierce air waves swept in overwhelmingly. The Purple-Eyed Essence Gold Beast roared, every wisp of energy within its body surging out like crashing waves.

A massive purple shadow suddenly appeared in the void—a towering light pillar like a lofty mountain range. Its vast oppressive force kept crushing the void, the entire void cracking apart.

Boom! With the Purple-Eyed Essence Gold Beast’s roar, the purple energy light pillar suddenly moved, sweeping through like a tornado, striking toward the layers of palm shadows.

Bang! The ultra-powerful energy exchange was like a thunderclap on a clear day, resounding through the sky. The two colliding energies erupted into a shocking air wave, blasting through several surrounding mountain ranges.

The energy clash lasted for half a cup of tea. The one suffering most was undoubtedly Yang Tian. The Golden Crow Divine Furnace, reduced to a speck of dust, tumbled through the air.

Yang Tian saw stars, his head spinning, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. This collision was too astonishing, piercing through everything with devastating power.

After who knows how long, Yang Tian sensed the Golden Crow Divine Furnace stop shaking. After a few breaths of stillness, he extended a sliver of his divine sense.

The two figures were already battling in the void. Yang Tian could vaguely see two massive energy halos colliding. On the other side of the void, the entire sky had turned into a vast sea, like an inverted celestial river—a startling phenomenon.

On the other side was a purple body, a mountain-sized purple giant eye constantly emitting purple light, tearing open the purple sea and attacking inside.

Such astonishing fluctuations attracted countless gazes. Even in the distant Demon-Suppressing City, the energy drew attention. Startling phenomena passed before countless eyes.

Several great figures from Demon-Suppressing City rushed over. Humans and demons had not engaged in large-scale conflict for centuries. An emperor-level expert causing havoc in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains must be from a major clan.

In an extremely eerie place, for dozens of li around, not a blade of grass grew, not even a fist-sized stone. A figure was digging frantically, like digging a pit.

His originally handsome face was now so gloomy it could drip water. When a shocking fluctuation came, his gloomy expression froze.

“That is…” Seeing the figure standing in the void, Gu Qi’s expression changed drastically. A bad premonition struck his heart. Without hesitation, he dashed toward the source of the energy fluctuation.

Inside the Golden Crow Divine Furnace, Yang Tian’s expression was now frozen. The gust of wind had blown him right next to the bodies of Gu and Mo.

“To take or not to take?” Looking at the two bodies, Yang Tian’s heart itched like a chicken scratching. The void rings were right before him, but that venomous woman was still above…

Yang Tian hesitated below, his gaze constantly sweeping over the battle in the void. The fight was now at its peak, the entire space blasted into a vacuum zone.

“If I stay here, when that old woman comes down, she’ll definitely find me, and then I’ll be in danger.” Rubbing his chin with his small hand, Yang Tian pondered.

“Screw it!” Yang Tian’s body instantly appeared on the ground. He directly collected the two nearly dead bodies into the Golden Crow Divine Furnace, and at the same time, his form dashed backward.

Just as Yang Tian had run a few dozen zhang, the graceful woman spotted him. Her fair and lovely face instantly turned icy. Seeing the vanished bodies on the ground, her delicate frame trembled.

“Yang Tian, you deserve to die!” A piercing, bone-chilling voice thundered across the heavens and earth. Boundless rage surged through her body, her chest heaving. If Gu Mo was taken away by Yang Tian, there would be no chance of survival.

“Not good.” His heart tightened, Yang Tian’s body instantly tensed. He ran forward desperately, silently praying that the Purple-Eyed Essence Gold Beast could hold her back.

Just as the graceful figure was about to teleport through the void, a dazzling purple light slashed over, its momentum overwhelming, directly cutting off the woman’s retreat.

“Woman, your opponent is me. Don’t get distracted.” The Purple-Eyed Essence Gold Beast laughed heartily, its voice shaking the void. It directly appeared before the woman and attacked.

“Bastard!” The woman cursed furiously, striking wildly, and shouted, “Little bastard, if anything happens to Gu Mo, my Ancient Sacred Ground will exhaust the entire clan to kill you!”

“Haha, old woman, come after me if you can. I see your relationship with Gu Mo is quite special.” Yang Tian ran forward madly, spitting out words that made the graceful woman’s chest heave.

“Yang Tian!” The icy voice, filled with boundless fury but also a hint of panic, resounded through the sky! That mad murderous intent seeped out, changing the color of the heavens and earth…
