Chapter 217: Qi and Blood Like a Dragon

Yang Ba's face turned somewhat grim. Although Yang Tian was formidable, the seven anomalies were no joke; if a conflict truly broke out, it would overwhelm Yang Tian.

Starlight surged, the Tianshu star was fierce and mighty, seemingly about to unleash a terrifying force, piercing through the blood-colored dragon body beside him. Thunder drums rumbled, trying to scatter the wind howl. The great sun blazed, divine birds cried, attempting to melt the sun and moon.

"What to do?" Frowning, Yang Ba was deeply worried. These anomalies were all extremely terrifying; if mishandled, they could trigger a great battle.

Yun'er showed urgency, frequently clenching her jade hands. This was a thorny issue; even if Yang Xiao were here, he would find it headache-inducing.

Ancient anomalies were all extremely terrifying. With so many anomalies coexisting in one body, unless Yang Tian was a divine body, he simply could not tame these anomalies.

"I'll go all out." Sensing the restless posture of these anomalies, Yang Tian gritted his teeth fiercely. The aura he had been suppressing inside burst forth, and a shocking surge of qi and blood shot into the sky.

Rumble! The river of qi and blood surged, hanging upside down in the void, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations. The jade-like translucent qi and blood roared, and battle qi soared across the sky.

Battle qi overflowed, seemingly about to pierce the heavens. The qi and blood within Yang Tian erupted without reservation, the purest qi and blood transforming into flood dragons that roamed the void.

The void twisted. The extremely terrifying qi and blood showed signs of cracking, as streaks of red light struck the void.

At this moment, the river of qi and blood gushed like a volcano, emitting a fearsome momentum. The qi and blood pierced through the clouds, forming a pillar of blood light, a terrifying sight.

His river of qi and blood seemed to transform into a true dragon, raising its head proudly, emitting a rumbling roar. The qi and blood surged like monstrous waves, shaking the soul.

"Roar!..." The true dragon roared, shaking the mountains and rivers. Rocks shattered, trees snapped, its momentum was earth-shattering, as if a natural disaster had struck.

"So strong! Is this still the Embryonic Transformation stage? It's even more formidable than a War King! Too terrifying."

"The qi and blood are nearly manifesting a true dragon; even ordinary War Kings can't do that! Yang Tian's foundation is too powerful, no wonder he can overpower saint-level figures."

"Yang Tian is defying the heavens. How does our big brother have such a freakish younger brother?" Kun Hu roared repeatedly, finding it hard to believe. This intensity could rival a divine body.

"What freak? This is a young king, don't you get it?" Kun Bao retorted. His body was very sturdy, as strong as a calf, excitement flashing in his eyes. If Yang Tian grew up, he would surely be a dazzling new star in the Eastern Continent, possibly overpowering the core generation of major families.

Yun'er's tightly clenched jade hand slowly relaxed. A strange light surged in her eyes, and her brows gradually curved into two crescent moons.

Amidst these exclamations, anomalies rippled in the void. The surrounding ancient energy stirred, converging above Yang Tian's head.

The originally dim sky darkened further, emitting a stifling atmosphere that made people involuntarily tense up.

"Come back!" Clenching his fist, Yang Tian withdrew the river of qi and blood into his body, his entire mind instantly calming down. He knew that today's tribulation would determine his future achievements; whether he could pass through it safely was still uncertain.

"Why haven't I seen Uncle Xiao?" At this moment, as if realizing something, Yang Tian's pupils suddenly contracted, and a wave of panic surged in his heart.

"Nothing will happen, nothing will happen..." His figure instantly appeared in the Ancestral Dragon Ring. Yang Tian's gaze swept around, and after a flash of surprise, he hurriedly searched the surroundings.

At this time, the Ancestral Dragon Ring had expanded to ten thousand zhang in size. When Yang Tian's gaze fell on the figure ahead, he instantly flashed over.

Yang Xiao's soul body was as clear as water, his face extremely aged. Compared to his previous middle-aged appearance, he seemed to have instantly reached his twilight years, as if he would wither away at any moment.

The energy fluctuations emitted by Yang Xiao were almost undetectable, and his soul body was on the verge of dissipating.

"Something's wrong!" His heart trembled violently. Yang Tian spoke hoarsely, his face instantly twisting. After years in seclusion, Yang Tian's bond with Yang Xiao was very deep. He had guided Yang Tian's cultivation like a master, like a mentor and disciple.

He carried too much on his shoulders; he didn't want to lose any more family. Yang Tian's trembling body slowly approached, a hint of panic rising in his heart.

After being struck by Li Long, he didn't know how he had escaped, but from Yang Xiao's condition, it must have had a lot to do with him.

And his soul body was nearly dissipating; it wouldn't last much longer.

"Uncle Xiao... Uncle Xiao..." Yang Tian tried to wake him. Now that he was in deep slumber, Yang Tian didn't know what method could restore the soul power within Yang Xiao.

Yang Tian called out loudly a few times, looking at his unresponsive body, his heart sinking to the bottom. Just as he was about to call out again, a faint fluctuation emerged from Yang Xiao's soul body.

"Nothing's wrong... Nothing's wrong..." Sensing the energy fluctuation from Yang Xiao, Yang Tian murmured hoarsely. He didn't want to experience the pain of losing a loved one again.

After about ten breaths, a thumb-sized soul body appeared on Yang Xiao's form, very illusory, almost invisible to the naked eye.

"Uncle Xiao... Are you alright?" Noticing this soul body, Yang Tian's gaze instantly shifted, and he spoke through gritted teeth, trembling.

Hearing this, Yang Xiao didn't speak. His soul power scanned the outside for a moment, and a look of shock surged in his eyes. All seven anomalies had manifested, and three more had been added—an astonishing sight.

"Don't speak; my time is limited." Yang Xiao smiled, looking at Yang Tian's tense face, a look of relief appearing on his face. After meeting across hundreds of thousands of years, being able to encounter a clansman made him very happy.

Even if he died today, he would have no regrets. With such a clansman, the Yang family still had hope of rising.

Hearing this, Yang Tian quickly nodded, listening to Yang Xiao's words.

"I didn't expect the medicinal power of the Embryonic Transformation Pill to be so strong, manifesting seven anomalies at once. Such a result was rare even in ancient times."

Sighing, Yang Xiao also found it a headache. He slowly said, "Do you still remember the Great Cycle Chaos Anomaly?"

Yang Tian nodded. He had thought of it earlier, but the Great Cycle Chaos Anomaly was too difficult to condense, and he didn't have the method for it.

"That ancient prodigy back then evolved his own anomaly. I believe you can also walk a different path. Have confidence in yourself; don't follow in the footsteps of predecessors." It seemed Yang Xiao had seen through Yang Tian's thoughts.

"Many paths need to be walked by oneself to climb to the peak of strength. Just like Dao artifacts, what belongs to others is always others'; you must have your own path."

"I understand, Uncle Xiao." Nodding, Yang Tian dispelled the thoughts in his mind.

"Although the Extinction Divine Thunder can destroy heaven and earth, your current cultivation is not high, so the thunder won't be too powerful. At the critical moment, you can swallow a drop of Life Spring Water."

"I know."

"If you safely survive the thunder tribulation, you can roughly begin to cultivate the Ten Thousand Miles in an Instant technique. Afterward, practice this technique to gain more life-saving means."

"And what about you, Uncle Xiao?" Suddenly raising his head, Yang Tian stared at Yang Xiao and said slowly.
