Chapter 475: Overwhelming!

The chaotic tribulation lightning shocked the world. In just two quarters of an hour, its power greatly diminished, with most of it cleanly absorbed by the divine statue like a bottomless pit.

Just as Yang Tian was absorbing with all his might, a pitiful wisp of divine sense reached him, and he instantly snapped awake.

“Uh…” Yang Tian was utterly stunned. He glanced at the通天根茎, a hint of embarrassment on his face. He had been absorbing so fiercely that he had completely forgotten that the Nine-Leaf Marvelous Flower still needed this energy to grow.

Outside, the mountains trembled, the ground rumbled incessantly, and in the distance powerful creatures charged—not just one, but a whole horde of ferocious beasts.

“Hmm, what kind of plant is this, so powerful? I must report to the clan leader!”

“A mysterious plant is undergoing tribulation, and it’s chaotic tribulation lightning—truly terrifying!” roared a colossal creature, greed stirring within it.

“This plant can absorb tribulation lightning. Our clan must obtain it, so the young master can sweep through all the geniuses at Dao God Mountain.”

Many creatures began to act, plotting for this extraordinary treasure, and hurried back to their clans to request the elders’ intervention.

“Look, who is that?!” At that moment, a leopard-like creature cried out, its fingers trembling in terror.

“What’s the panic? That…” The creature beside it started to scold when it saw a Blood Fiend Tiger charging over, but when it noticed the green-clad youth standing on the tiger’s back, it instantly fell silent.

The horde of charging creatures halted. Several fearsome beings fixed their gaze on Xiaoqing, and when they sensed the divine fluctuations emanating from within him, they were struck dumb.

“He… he couldn’t be a creature from the Divine Mountain!” a creature shouted, panic-stricken, and fled like a rabbit.

With that creature’s escape, the others came to their senses. Many who had been trying to fish in troubled waters also fled. Creatures from the Divine Mountain were far beyond what they could provoke.

“Such terrifying divine fluctuations… Could he be a divine servant?” a humanoid creature asserted. Though somewhat afraid, greed flickered in its eyes.

Generally, if such a creature were devoured by one of lower bloodline, the benefits would be unimaginable—even the bloodline would undergo transformation.

“He’s too weak, not even at the Demon Emperor realm!” a creature as huge as a mountain murmured, itching to devour Xiaoqing and break through its own realm.

“There are no powerful figures guarding him. Let’s attack together!” a group of creatures roared. Though the Blood Fiend Tiger was strong, it couldn’t threaten them.

Rumble! Dozens of powerful creatures launched a simultaneous assault. In an instant, the place blazed with precious light, the ten directions trembled, and monstrous waves shattered the clouds.

Hum! Suddenly, a series of terrifying, distant sword hums vibrated, enveloping all dozens of creatures. A shocking sword aura split the sky, and the dreadful soul-piercing sword hums penetrated everywhere.

Boom! A fearsome onslaught—ancient trees exploded, great mountains nearly crumbled, and rocks flew wildly, a scene of utter destruction.

“Ah…” The leopard-like creature screamed, blood streaming from its body, its soul extinguished. In an instant, it exploded, flesh and blood splattering.

Boom! Within a single breath, seven or eight creatures burst apart, flesh and blood flying everywhere, a thick stench of blood spilling out.

“A terrifying figure is attacking from nearby!” cried a creature barely holding on. Its soul was nearly torn apart, agony wracking its trembling body.

“Roar!” The tiger was extremely excited. It opened its mouth and spat out a small golden sword that shot forth, releasing sharp metallic energy that pierced the creature’s forehead, shattering its body.

“Roar… Run!” Several terrifying creatures moved. The surrounding assault was too strange—half their number had been wiped out in an instant, and there was also that divine servant they dreaded.

“Don’t let a single one escape!” Suddenly, a terrifying chaotic divine form manifested, surrounded by mist, wielding a purple-gold longsword—extremely fearsome.

“Chirp!” Xiaoqing instantly revealed its true form. The dormant divine fluctuations within it burst forth. It radiated overwhelming divine might, spread its wings to strike the sky, and in one move crushed the body of a terrified creature.

“Golden-Winged Roc—a divine child!” Many creatures were terrified beyond words, screaming inwardly. They had just been about to devour a divine beast!

Whoosh! The purple-gold longsword in Yang Tian’s hand hummed, shaking the nine heavens, parting clouds and breaking the sun, like lightning striking the void, cleaving a creature’s body.

Under the terrified gazes around, the creature’s flesh withered, completely devoured by the Tianshu sword. The entire blade turned blood-red, and soon the creature was reduced to skin and bones.

“What kind of demonic thing is this?” The tiger shuddered, unable to stop trembling. This weapon was too eerie; its fur stood on end.

“Run!” A creature came to its senses, forcibly suppressing its inner terror, turned around, and fled at top speed.

“Chirp!” Xiaoqing flapped its wings, wind and thunder roaring, golden lightning striking horizontally. In one breath, it appeared before the creature and crushed its head with its two claws.

The creature’s bloodline trembled. Though its cultivation was higher than Xiaoqing’s, it had no room to resist and was crushed into nothingness in the void.

Soon, this place became a slaughter ground. The purple-gold longsword in the divine statue’s hand was too powerful, devouring the bloodlines of many creatures, growing ever more formidable.

“This sword is truly terrifying. I wonder what materials Yang Tian used to forge it.” The tiger drooled, secretly scheming how to get his hands on those materials.

Hum! The Tianshu sword kept vibrating, cleaving through bodies one after another, all turning into dried corpses. The entire blade flowed with blood-red light, unleashing the power of the Bloodthirsty Demon Crystal.

At this moment, the divine statue’s eyes fell on a void ahead. It sneered—a creature was hidden there, watching the battle, no doubt extremely confident in its concealment technique.

But in that instant, its eyelids twitched, and its mind tightened. Before it could flee, a golden foot suddenly stepped through the void, the heavens and earth rumbling, crushing its head.

“Three-Legged Golden Crow!” The tiger’s heart trembled as it exclaimed. But when it noticed the great sun below, it instantly relaxed and muttered inwardly: “What a freak—he still has plenty of trump cards unused.”

The atmosphere in the field grew silent. The tiger poked its head around, looting one by one. Among these creatures were Demon Emperors, with greater resources than itself, and it nearly roared with joy.

“Let’s leave this place first. Powerful creatures will probably arrive soon.” Yang Tian’s chaotic divine form scanned the surroundings and then moved toward the valley.

“Hurry!” Xiaoqing kicked the tiger, who was reluctant to leave even in death. Drool dripping, it frantically searched for the creatures’ pills and precious herbs.

Rumble! Thunder roared in the distance, mountains trembled, and a terrifying divine might pressed over. Ahead, golden light blazed, nearly flooding the sky—an extremely fearsome figure.

“Run!” The tiger instantly shuddered, every hair on its body standing on end. Without a moment’s hesitation, it bolted away at full speed.
