Chapter 287: Ancient Cultivator

The sky and earth suddenly darkened, the demon cave spewed forth ten thousand zhang of divine light, heavy black mist swept across the eight wastelands, and the surrounding magma was squeezed and scattered.

Rumbling! Terrifying demonic energy surged overwhelmingly, stirring up astonishing phenomena in the void. This heart-shaking demonic energy spread throughout the entire Danhuo Domain at that moment!

The ground trembled, monsters broke through the soil, horrifying roars came from the demon cave, rocks shook violently, and malevolent energy shook the heavens.

Hideous tentacles extended from underground, charging recklessly, rocks flew through the air, the world seemed to turn upside down—a scene of apocalyptic destruction, the earth cracking open.

A group of Dan Valley experts nearby showed shocked expressions; something below seemed to be awakening, struggling to break free, and the entire Danhuo Domain emitted dazzling divine light.

This small world seemed to shatter. Deep in the farthest reaches, a terrifying great hall emitted strands of world-shaking aura, dyeing the sky fiery red. The terrifying aura made hearts tremble.

Suddenly, a figure appeared, walking out of the palace. His true face was indiscernible, standing amidst endless flames, surrounded by a blurry yet majestic shadow. He was like a great sun, covering his entire body.

This was the life force he radiated, terrifying beyond compare, like an eternal divine furnace emitting world-destroying might, forcing others to look up in awe, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Tens of thousands of years have passed. Has the continent also fallen into calamity?" He spoke, his majestic voice echoing, the hall shaking, terrifying aura spreading from his body, seizing hearts and souls.

Far away at the sealed land, the demon cave emitted wailing sounds like ghosts and gods weeping, rocks shattered clouds, large trees broke, mountain peaks collapsed—a supreme existence was breaking free.

From the ten-thousand-zhang demon cave ahead, creatures crawled out, hideously ugly, covered in disgusting liquid, sticky fluids flooding the ground, emitting a foul stench.

These demonic creatures varied in size; some were dozens of zhang tall, others as small as ants, with terrifyingly ferocious faces, exuding an aura of evil.

A demonic creature about ten zhang long was astonishing; the black mist spewing from its mouth corroded a mountain peak, riddling it with holes.

These crawling demonic creatures seemed newborn, and everyone around was horrified. The bottomless abyss hid countless more, likely including powerful beings.

"These things are indeed strange, using demonic energy to create creatures. But these creatures have no intelligence, only know killing!" Yang Xiao gritted his teeth at the sight, snorting coldly.

"It seems a great calamity is coming." Yang Tian murmured. These creatures feared not death, unaware of death's terror—they were killing machines.

"It depends on whether the seal below will be broken." Yang Xiao nodded slightly, his body vanishing into the Ancestral Dragon Ring, merging into the void to search for nearby formations.

Chi chi! The creatures pounced, their eyes emitting green light, seizing souls, madly attacking the surrounding experts, roaring hideously, trying to tear apart the human experts before them!

"Scram!" Dan Zong shouted softly, his divine spear in hand, stirring up overwhelming divine light like a lightning bolt, piercing through the forehead of that creature, its body shattering into pieces, spilling disgusting liquid.

The surrounding creatures instantly went berserk, madly pouncing and biting the nearby humans. Below the abyss, demonic energy surged to the heavens, piercing through the sky and earth, as creatures continuously crawled out, charging recklessly.

"So many demonic creatures!" Dan Lao's expression turned grim. He sensed powerful creatures awakening in the abyss, about to emerge, and then they would be unable to handle them.

"Go inform the people outside, tell them the demonic creatures have emerged. If they don't want their disciples to die inside, come and help!" At that moment, Dan Lao said to a War Emperor beside him.

"It's the old patriarch." That war emperor nodded. Some of the external experts had not yet left, and even members of the Alchemy Alliance were still present, which would be a great help.

Yang Tian clenched his fists, a bone-chilling coldness flashing in his eyes. He murmured, "The ancient great enemy of the Yang family is the demon. I want to see just how powerful it is!"

Whoosh! His figure flickered, and he violently dashed to the side of a nearby demon creature dozens of feet tall. With a single arm swing, he unleashed terrifying force, tearing off one of its tentacles.

"Roar..." The demon creature howled in pain. Yang Tian gave it no chance to react; spreading his arms, he tore the creature into pieces.

"This kid has astonishing strength." This scene caught the attention of the Alchemy Patriarch, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes. Yang Tian's arm strength was terrifyingly powerful, not ordinary divine strength.

"Let's join in too." Seeing Yang Tian tear apart a demon, Tan Zuying rubbed his hands and shot forward like a cannonball, crashing into the midst of the demon creatures.

Shangguan Hao nodded. In his eyes, phantom images of the sun and moon appeared, an awe-inspiring aura emanating from him. This terrifying phenomenon—the sun and moon sinking—burst forth, smashing the creatures into pieces.

A shocking battle unfolded. In the void, five emperor-level beings confronted each other. Elder Dan was injured, but his spirit remained undiminished. His blood vitality surged, unleashing the power of the Blood Pattern Cauldron.

They fought into the sky. The Grand Elder's cultivation was profound; facing two opponents alone, he held his ground. That stretch of void turned into a zone of nothingness, with only terrifyingly extreme energy fluctuations leaking out.

The demon creatures below were endless, crawling out in infinite numbers. The experts of the Dan Valley could kill dozens with a single punch, but the ground was covered with severed limbs and remains.

Yang Tian charged all the way, his body radiating precious light. Inside him, rumbling explosions sounded. His whole being surged with crimson light, his might astonishing, like the surging of rivers and seas.

Yang Tian spread his arms, exerting strength of hundreds of thousands of jin, terrifyingly powerful. These demon creatures were all torn apart by him.

Swish! Suddenly, a silver, gleaming monster appeared behind him. Its eyes were cold; it had long noticed Yang Tian. This creature was dozens of feet tall, and its aura was extremely alarming.

"Bang!" Two enormous silver arms moved abruptly, reaching for Yang Tian's head.

"Die!" Yang Tian shouted loudly, crimson light spewing from his eyes. His physical body was terrifying. As his spine turned, a blood-dragon of vitality flew out, blasting apart the silver creature's arms.

Yang Tian leaped into the air, his aura oppressive, like a roc. Spreading his arms, he unleashed terrifying force, piercing through the creature's head.

Boom! Suddenly, a loud noise erupted. From the demon lair emerged a terrifying creature. It had a human body, standing a full ten feet tall! Its muscles were bronze, with sinews like coiled dragons on its arms, exuding boundless explosive power.

This humanoid creature held an iron halberd, gleaming with cold metallic light. Its body was icy, and in its eyes floated starlight, as if containing an entire starfield within—powerful enough to inspire terror.

"An ancient cultivator..." Seeing this being, Yang Tian's pupils contracted slightly. This creature was extremely powerful, radiating a terrifying aura, and its physique was even more formidable.

The humanoid creature's gaze shifted to Yang Tian. Its expression was cold, unchanged. Holding the iron halberd, it strode forward with large steps.

"Come on!" Seeing this, Yang Tian sneered. His blood vitality surged, fiercely pure and yang, unaffected by the external demonic energy.

Crack! The humanoid creature moved extremely fast. With a few steps, it was before Yang Tian. Without a word, it thrust the iron halberd toward Yang Tian's head.

Yang Tian's feet shifted, but at that moment, the iron halberd pierced through his forehead. His body instantly shattered into pieces.
