Chapter 404: Heart-Shuddering Recovery Power

In Tianmo City, within a pavilion far from the battle platform, the doors and windows were open. Two black shadows were inside, one large and one small, both tightly wrapped in black robes.

At this moment, under the hood of the smaller black-robed figure, a pair of bright eyes, like black gems, stared at the large black sword in Yang Tian's hand, a trace of surprise appearing in them.

“Ah, isn’t that the half sword body from the auction? How does it end up in little brother’s hands?” The small black-robed figure was extremely surprised, tugging at the stiff body beside him, unable to help asking.

“This little bastard, how could he possibly have the other half of the sword body?!” The larger black-robed figure spoke indignantly, gritting his teeth as if about to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

The pitch-black great sword radiated a terrifying divine light, faintly splitting heaven and earth. Everyone present was shocked, finding it hard to believe.

The sword body hummed, emitting a dreadful clang. Yang Tian held the extremely heavy broken sword, suddenly stamped his foot, leaped into the void, and with both hands gripping the sword, slashed downward!

The dazzling sword energy was so terrifying that heaven and earth trembled, producing a resounding clang. The dreadful sword energy swept everything, slashing toward Li Qingxue’s body.

Li Qingxue’s eyes shifted slightly. She sneered, and a small red tripod appeared in her palm. On the tripod’s wall was a fire phoenix, poised to soar into the sky, exuding vivid spirituality.

With a hum, the small red tripod vibrated. Flames blazed from its mouth, and an immensely scorching energy suddenly spewed out, striking the sky and leaving a large hole.

Everyone’s hearts trembled as they watched the fire phoenix fly out, their lips quivering in great fear.

“This is the Li family’s clan-suppressing artifact, the Fire Phoenix Divine Tripod!” A figure from a holy land spoke softly, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

They hadn’t expected the Li family to bestow this heavenly artifact upon Li Qingxue.

“Another heavenly artifact, truly incredible!” Everyone was astonished. Two heavenly artifacts had appeared in succession. This battle had become extremely unusual; they were competing in heritage.

“Tsk, tsk, I didn’t expect this sword to be so terrifying!” Qing Yuan rubbed his hands, unable to help smiling at Qing Rufeng. Back when he had purchased the other half of the sword body, Qing Rufeng had tried to stop him.

Hearing this laughter, Qing Rufeng understood completely. His eyes widened as he recalled the events at the auction house.

In the void, the fire phoenix soared, spreading its wings as if to touch the clouds, like a fearsome divine beast, extremely terrifying. Its aura was overwhelming, making all the experts tremble as if facing a deity.

It opened its mouth and spewed forth terrifying flames, like an inverted heavenly river, radiating astonishing firelight. The void itself melted, instantly blocking the dreadful sword energy.

Seeing this, Yang Tian pursed his lips and murmured, looking at the fire phoenix in the void: “This artifact should have a wisp of a fire phoenix’s intelligence hidden inside.”

Heavy fire domains descended, enveloping the entire battle platform. The surrounding experts felt parched, their bodies nearly bursting, and they retreated one after another. This heavenly artifact was too terrifying.

Even Yang Tian’s skin felt hot. The temperature was extremely fierce. This fire phoenix was a powerful divine beast, and though only a wisp of its intelligence remained, it was still very strong.

“Ha!” Yang Tian shouted. The tip of the Black Demon sword emitted energy, unleashing heart-shuddering power, carrying the force of the void. Radiant sword light struck into the layers of fire domain.

“Boom!” Divine light blazed. Terrifying sword energies, one after another, like a galaxy striking the void, split the air and launched a fearsome assault, making everyone’s minds tremble.

The Black Demon’s attack was extremely fearsome, carrying void power, tearing through the fire domain, and striking the small red tripod, producing a deafening metallic clang.

But this small tripod was extremely formidable, indestructible, floating in the void with terrifying killing intent. Its emitted firelight grew even more intense, suddenly shooting out a divine light aimed at Yang Tian’s body.

Sensing the dreadful attack, Yang Tian held the Black Demon horizontally, blocking the lethal strike. However, his body was knocked back several steps, and his blood energy churned.

It was an astonishing battle. The fire domain swept through the void. The fire phoenix was too terrifying; Yang Tian simply couldn’t break out. His heart chilled—this heavenly artifact was extremely powerful.

Yang Tian was continuously pushed back, retreating dozens of zhang. Blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although Yang Tian’s physique was astonishing, he was after all facing a stunning woman who also wielded a great artifact.

“This head-on clash won’t work. Yang Tian’s cultivation is too low; his body will likely be shattered!” The old man spoke again, indignant on Yang Tian’s behalf.

“Why doesn’t he use the energy within his body? Otherwise, he’ll be beaten to death.” The burly man asked in confusion.

The old man glanced at him sideways, his expression very dark. The burly man couldn’t help shrinking his neck and dared not speak again.

“Boom, boom, boom!” Three terrifying divine lights charged down in succession, their might unmatched, tearing the void into large gashes, striking at Yang Tian’s vital points.

An overwhelming pressure descended like a tidal wave. Yang Tian’s heart tightened. He twisted his body rapidly, but his movement space was extremely limited. All around were scorching fire domains, the entire sky and earth submerged.

The three dreadful divine lights burst forth. Everyone’s nerves were taut, hoping he could survive this calamity.

The first divine light was dispersed by the Black Demon, the second Yang Tian dodged, and the void beside him exploded. The last divine light, with unmatched killing intent, grazed Yang Tian’s waist, causing blood to gush out.

“Hmph!” Seeing this, a cold smile appeared in Li Qingxue’s eyes. Her strong confidence returned to her body. She was like a goddess, once again looking down on Yang Tian.

The whole venue was in uproar. The one who had always turned danger into safety was now severely injured. Struck by that divine light, he had suffered great damage. Most people wondered why he didn’t use the energy within his body.

Yun’er’s delicate body trembled violently. Watching the blood gushing from his body, she couldn’t help biting her lip.

“What is this guy doing?” Meng Yunxi’s eyes showed a hint of tension. Her jade hand clenched tightly. Just as she grew anxious, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

At this moment, a fearsome divine sound came from within Yang Tian’s body. The three Dao bodies inside him all moved, interweaving surging vital energy, washing over Yang Tian’s injured area. The large wound was now rapidly clotting!

“He’s recovering! See, he’s recovering!” The old man grabbed the burly man by the collar and growled. The burly man didn’t hesitate, flattering him with nods and agreement.

“What a terrifying physique! It recovered in just a few moments. Is he even human? Could he be some fearsome creature?” The experts were all shocked, exclaiming.

“This is practically a peerless precious body, able to contend with divine bodies.” An old man exclaimed, deeply astonished.

Seeing Yang Tian’s body restored to normal, a chill surged in Li Qingxue’s eyes. His blood energy was still terrifyingly vigorous, as if he had suffered no injury at all.

Hum! She grew angry, her jet-black hair standing on end. She was determined to kill Yang Tian. She fully activated the divine furnace, striking out three brilliant and blazing divine flames that slammed into Yang Tian’s body.
