Chapter 420: The Great Battle Begins!

The night passed slowly, and no one left. Compared to yesterday, today's crowd was more than double.

The place was packed with people. Many prodigies came to witness Yang Tian's tribulation, but the deeper meaning was naturally to observe the Li clan's ancestral land.

Compared to its former blessed land, it was now ruins and rubble, filled with terrifying fissures forming abysses, turned into a dead land.

"From now on, we have nothing to do with the Li clan!" an old man whispered. They were a subsidiary family of the Li clan and decisively gave the order. Even if the Li clan killed Yang Tian, they would fall in the future.

"Self-inflicted..." Some who had been bullied by the Li clan felt a great sense of satisfaction. The destruction of a clan's ancestral land undoubtedly cut off the Li clan's retreat.

"See that? Inside is Yang Tian undergoing his tribulation. It's been almost a whole day and night!" In the far distance, many juniors were discussing, a hint of respect in their eyes.

"I don't think the Chaos Tribulation is that terrifying, but how did it cause such powerful destruction?"

"Yeah, I heard the Li clan's inheritance was destroyed, and even their treasury was looted clean by Yang Tian's people. This tribulation doesn't seem that fierce," someone said doubtfully.

A group pressed for answers, and the man lowered his head and said, "You don't know, this Yang Tian is really strange. He didn't even undergo the tribulation; as soon as the lightning appeared, it enveloped his body!"

"What's even weirder is that the energy inside the tribulation lightning is dissipating bit by bit, as if being devoured by something terrifying!" The man marveled, having witnessed the entire process.

"I heard Yang Tian cut off Long Yang's arm using Chaos Light. I suspect Yang Tian has other secrets unknown to us," a little kid beside him agreed, speaking in a childish voice.

"Stop discussing. If the Li clan hears us, we'll be in trouble. Over a hundred cultivators and several terrifying War Kings have died this night," the man quickly waved his hand, silencing them.

"The Li clan won't be arrogant for long. Their ancestral land is destroyed, rumors of their downfall spread, their treasury looted by mysterious figures..." The little kid blinked his bright eyes, chuckling inwardly, looking like someone who relishes chaos.

The chaotic beam of light ahead lasted until evening. The energy grew weaker and weaker, and the covered area shrank to a few dozen zhang.

The submerged land had completely sunk, everything gone. Looking out, there were only bottomless abysses, making one's scalp tingle.

"What a scourge. In the future, if he escapes, we must never offend him," an elder from a major force warned. Yang Tian was too strange and extremely bold—how many in history had undergone tribulation on an enemy's ancestral land?

Li Qi's eyes were icy cold, devoid of any emotion, like the gaze of a fierce beast. His murderous intent was like a blade, shaking the very sky, terrifying beyond measure.

Many in the Li clan fixed their gaze on the treasury entrance. The Li clan's great cultivators used secret arts and knew that a hidden grand formation enveloped it, keeping those inside safe.

If they could retrieve the contents of the treasury, the Li clan still had hope of rebuilding their foundation. At worst, they could seize another blessed land.

Late night approached, darkness fell, but the heavens and earth were not peaceful. The Li clan surrounded the area where Yang Tian was, laying a vast net, their murderous intent terrifying, shocking all living beings.

This was the condensed murderous intent of all the Li clan's members. The void changed color and trembled.

All the powerful were terrified. This was a great enmity. The Li clan's ancestors had all turned to ashes, a pain far greater than the destruction of their blessed land.

"I wonder how Yang Tian will deal with this?" Qing Yuan licked his dry lips, his heart full of worry. Facing a killing strike, even a great cultivator could not survive and would be torn to shreds instantly!

Many figures retreated. Yang Tian was extremely strange; they expected a big move. Everyone stepped back, including Qing Yuan, as Yang Tian had instructed them.

Boom! Suddenly, the remaining tribulation lightning exploded. Dazzling golden light surged like a tidal wave, madly bursting forth. The void in all directions shattered, terrifying beyond measure.

Yang Tian's entire body radiated infinite golden light, appearing in everyone's sight. The heavy golden radiance surged, piercing heaven and earth, sweeping through the void, splitting the waves like a surging sea.

He swallowed mountains and rivers, scattering clouds and mist. The earth for ten directions shook, stirred by a supreme divine force. Even the sky trembled—an extremely terrifying scene.

"What a fearsome figure!" All the powerful were shocked. Compared to the Yang Tian of two days ago, he was now terrifyingly powerful, his emitted energy astonishing, as if possessing infinite might.

In the hazy void, a young man's gaze fell on Yang Tian. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, a hint of disdain showing.

Yet he made no move, looking down at the surrounding figures as if they were his subjects, arrogant beyond measure.

"Yang Tian, you brat, your life is mine!" Li Qi roared. Heaven and earth shook. A giant hand appeared above Yang Tian's head, like a terrifying mountain range pressing down.

"Despicable wretch, all of you die!" Li Cheng was also ferocious, his murderous intent like a blade. He led his disciples charging toward the treasury gate, intending to tear apart those inside.

Fatty and Xiao Ji exchanged glances, unable to help but smile: "How did this old fool show up again? What a narrow path for enemies!"

Fatty scratched his hair, looking at the crowd already charging in. He grinned, showing his teeth: "The show is about to begin!"

This time, over a hundred disciples rushed into the treasury, all experts capable of suppressing a region. But as they entered the treasury, their vision was filled with thick fog, unable to see the path ahead.

All this happened in an instant. Yang Tian grinned, revealing white teeth. Above his head, a scroll suddenly appeared.

Buzz! Heaven and earth exploded. The golden scroll soared into the void, expanding violently. A fierce aura leaked out. Terrifying war chariots roared, human cultivators shouted, shaking the sky.

Ten thousand zhang of golden light, like a golden road, spread across the high sky. This was a terrifying artifact, making people's hearts tremble with fear.

"A celestial artifact!" A figure shouted, eyes wide. Counting this one, that made two celestial artifacts.

"This... what a terrifying celestial artifact! It's a peerless celestial artifact! It's almost manifesting all living beings!" At this moment, the old woman of the Su family lost her composure, exclaiming.

In the hazy void, the young man's eyes lit up when he saw the artifact. He murmured, "I didn't expect to encounter such an artifact. It's practically tailor-made for me."

The Li clan members went mad. Li Qi's eyes showed endless greed as he stared at the replica of the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, swallowing hard.

"It's all mine... all mine..." He roared in his heart. As the giant hand in the void pressed down, the great mountain in the scroll suddenly opened.

A bone-chilling cold air surged forth. The powerful outside trembled. Even from such a distance, they could sense this cold air, showing how terrifying it was.

Those about to attack halted their steps, staring at the opening mountain. As they hesitated, a sound like a mountain river bursting forth suddenly came from within.

Rumble! Ice-cold water erupted like a mountain flood, cascading down strand by strand, pouring onto the heads of the Li clan members.
