Chapter 350: The Golden-Winged Roc King Arrives!

Yang Xiao's eyes flickered uneasily. He sensed that the Golden-Winged Roc and the Golden-Furred War Ape had arrived. The Golden-Furred War Ape might still have a chance to escape, but the Golden-Winged Roc was too terrifying, his cultivation a full stage higher than the ape's.

"I hope the old patriarch has intimidated this being, or else we're in trouble," Yang Xiao murmured. There was no other choice now but to wait and see.

In the void, the vast sea of thunder was collapsing layer by layer. The three artifacts, having undergone the baptism of the thunder tribulation, had gained immense benefits, their divine light shining ever more brilliantly.

After a moment, when the thunder sea dispersed, Yang Tian slowly rose to his feet. His eyes fixed on the two artifacts, and suddenly a brilliant river of stars burst forth from his gaze.

Like a heavenly ladder, it soared upward. The seven great stars were like massive orbs, extremely terrifying. Though the others were mere projections, their power was formidable, stirring heaven and earth.

"Tian Shu, return!" Yang Tian shouted. The Tian Shu star trembled, causing the void to shake, and a dreadful aura leaked out. With a clang, Tian Shu instantly returned to its place among the stars.

"Tian Xuan, return!" His blood and qi surged like rolling waves, emitting the sound of the great Dao, each note piercing the ear like a sudden blow, shaking heaven and earth. The great trees trembled, leaves rustling down.

The Star Tower hummed, seemingly enamored with the river of stars phenomenon. It descended upon the Tian Xuan star, letting fall strands of terrifying star domains, as if merging with the surrounding stellar phenomenon.

"The Nine Heavens Star Sand is indeed worthy—this river of stars greatly benefits the 'Stars Shine Upon the Azure Sky' phenomenon!" Seeing this, Yang Tian's face lit up with joy, and he couldn't help remarking.

At that moment, Yang Tian fixed his gaze on a thousand-zhang mountain ahead. His hand suddenly clenched, and he shouted, "Star River Chart, emerge!"

As his words fell, the 'Stars Shine Upon the Azure Sky' phenomenon hummed, like a formation diagram, emitting a terrifying power as the wild river of stars cascaded down.

Boom! Its speed was incredible, like a bolt of lightning, darting toward the mountain ahead and crashing down. Heaven and earth resounded with a thunderous roar.

Rocks split apart as if a great earthquake had struck. Boulders shattered and hurtled through the air, the void crushed and bursting with ear-splitting sounds.

Amid the heavy starlight, terrifying star domains descended, piercing the earth. Astonishing sword qi spewed forth, shaking heaven and earth with a fearsome assault.

"The Star River Chart activates the power of the seven divine weapons, equivalent to wielding seven artifacts," Yang Tian said, his face beaming.

"Seven Stars in Conjunction!" Yang Tian shouted. The sound of the great Dao resounded as the seven great stars trembled violently, unleashing terrifying rivers of stars that pierced the void.

Those seven celestial rivers interwove, giving birth to a fearsome star. Terrifying sword qi spewed, and dreadful star rivers swept forth, shaking the sky, their aura overwhelming.

Rumble! That dreadful great star shook violently, hurtling toward the sky with extreme power, generating a massive gale that pierced through layers of void.

Just as Yang Tian was elated, his pupils suddenly froze. His hair stood on end, his scalp tingling. He felt as if a terrifying being had locked onto him.

"What's going on?" Yang Tian's eyes scanned the area ahead, murmuring inwardly. In his moment of fear, two figures appeared in the void before him.

"What fearsome beings," Yang Ba thought, his heart tightening. The golden war spear in his hand vanished instantly as he fixed his wary gaze ahead.

The Golden-Furred War Ape radiated divine light like surging rivers and seas, terrifying enough to make one's heart tremble. His eyes were fixed on the Star River Chart ahead, and he scratched his ears and cheeks restlessly.

On the other side, the Golden-Winged Roc's gaze was icy. He stared at Yang Tian's body, sensing a familiar aura within—a trace that closely resembled his own essence blood.

"Good treasure... good treasure..." The Golden-Furred War Ape scratched his ears and cheeks, rubbing his paws together. To Yang Tian's horror, he reached for the Star River Chart.

Yang Tian's mind tightened instantly. With a thought, the river of stars reversed and rushed back toward him.

"Eh?" The Golden-Furred War Ape's eyes flickered, emitting a piercing golden light that instantly froze the Star River Chart.

Then the Golden-Furred War Ape's gaze fell on Yang Tian, surprise flickering in his eyes. He sensed that Yang Tian's physical body was extremely formidable. Glancing at the Golden-Winged Roc, he scratched his chin, a look of confusion on his face.

Cold sweat broke out all over Yang Tian. These were two terrifying beings, and now he was locked in their sights. Especially the Golden-Winged Roc, who clearly recognized that Yang Tian had once used his essence blood to refine his body.

The Golden-Furred War Ape scratched his ears and cheeks. The tense atmosphere lasted a moment before the Golden-Winged Roc spoke gravely, "Are you his descendant?"

Hearing this, Yang Tian forced himself to calm down. He cupped his hands and said, "Yes, senior. This humble one is."

"Hmph!" Golden lightning flashed from his eyes. The Golden-Winged Roc snorted coldly, like a thunderclap exploding.

Yang Tian's eardrums nearly burst. His blood and qi churned, his bones trembled violently, on the verge of shattering.

But at that moment, confusion flickered in the Golden-Winged Roc's eyes. That human supreme had once asked him to deliver Xiaoqing to his descendant, but with his perception, he couldn't see where Yang Tian had hidden Xiaoqing.

"Descendant... what descendant..." The Golden-Furred War Ape clamored, his golden paws restless, rubbing together.

"Show him Xiaoqing. He promised the old patriarch; he shouldn't break his word," Yang Xiao spoke up, a hint of hope in his voice. Xiaoqing's potential was immense. If the Roc broke the agreement, he would surely take Xiaoqing back.

Yang Tian nodded inwardly, sighing. The Golden-Winged Roc had slaughtered countless beings for his own offspring, nearly destroying Dan City. Xiaoqing was naturally extremely important to him.

At that moment, Yang Tian pulled Xiaoqing out of the Ancestral Dragon Ring. Xiaoqing radiated divine light, flowing with iridescence. Golden patterns had appeared on both wings, looking extremely mystical.

Some time ago, Xiaoqing had digested a drop of essence blood, gaining immense benefits. Now, when sparring with Xiaobai, he no longer fared so poorly.

"Chirp chirp..." Freed, Xiaoqing spread his wings and soared into the void, then landed on Yang Tian's shoulder, letting out joyful cries.

At this, a flicker of emotion passed through the Golden-Winged Roc's golden eyes. The coldness vanished instantly, and he gazed at Xiaoqing with excitement, even a hint of tenderness.

"Eh?" The Golden-Furred War Ape shook his hands, then burst into laughter. Staring at Xiaoqing's mystical appearance, disbelief also showed in his eyes.

Back then, the being inside the egg had suffered a terrible attack, nearly dying. The Golden-Winged Roc had tried every method, all to no avail. The creature inside was on the verge of death.

Now, seeing it before him, the Golden-Furred War Ape found it increasingly unbelievable. In the past, the Golden-Winged Roc had traveled far and wide, visiting many fearsome divine mountains, but none could heal the young roc's wounds.

Now not only was it healed, but in such a short time, it had grown so rapidly! Its awakening speed was terrifying.

"Chirp chirp..." At that moment, Xiaoqing noticed the two figures ahead, both giving him a very familiar feeling. Especially the one about a zhang tall—there was a sense of blood connection.

"Healed... healed..." The Golden-Furred War Ape scratched his ears and cheeks, turned several somersaults in the air, and was exceptionally excited.
