Chapter 501: Identity Exposed

The Heavenly Roc floated in the void, its killing intent cutting through the sky like a heavenly blade. Its eyes were icy to the extreme; having just suffered a great humiliation, it was furious.

Yang Tian strode through the void, the golden lake within him humming. His aura was extremely powerful, and he was determined to kill the Heavenly Roc.

Just as the Heavenly Roc was about to tear apart Yang Tian's body, it suddenly noticed Xiaoqing behind him.

"Little bastard, you've finally come!" The Heavenly Roc whirled around, staring at Xiaoqing, and bellowed, causing the ancient hall to tremble. At the same time, a terrifying killing intent spread from its eyes, piercing the soul.

"Dead bird, today I'm going to stew you!" Hearing this, Xiaoqing glanced sidelong at the Heavenly Roc, then thought of the Divine Strength Ape's precious meat and couldn't help licking his lips.

"All three of you will die!" The Heavenly Roc was enraged. Its golden hair stood on end, and with a roar that changed the landscape, it charged toward Yang Tian's body.

"So it's you." At that moment, the giant bird floated in the void, a cold smile in its eyes, though deep within there was a trace of fear. Before it stood a genuine divine beast.

"Today I'm going to stew you!" Xiaoqing shouted, his voice like thunder. Golden lightning shot from his eyes. His life force was like the sea as he charged forward, a large seal clutched in his claws.

"The Demon Emperor hasn't even arrived, yet you boast shamelessly!" The giant bird sneered. Despite its words, it was on full alert. Blood-moon-like eyes emitted a blood mist that made one tremble as it attacked Xiaoqing.

"Dealing with a dead bird like you is enough." Xiaoqing spread his wings and soared. His golden wings flapped, stirring up wind and thunder. Terrifying golden lightning shot out like a tornado.

Rumble! The entire ancient hall shook. On both battlefields, golden lightning flashed around Yang Tian, blasting many falling rocks to pieces.

The Heavenly Roc's golden light surged like ocean waves, battering the sky, churning the ancient hall, and splitting the void. Great abysses appeared in the air, a horrifying sight.

Huge rock walls were lifted, and countless boulders flew toward Yang Tian.

As Yang Tian leaped, the golden lake trembled, unleashing a fierce gale. A terrifying phenomenon manifested, nearly striking the sky and ravaging the world. Yang Tian had not used this phenomenon for a long time.

He stirred up strands of fierce wind, tearing the void. Golden lightning filled the sky, and all the surrounding boulders were crushed.

Roar! From within his body, a golden divine dragon burst forth, appearing in the void with golden lightning striking around it. Yang Tian effortlessly fused the two phenomena.

The golden divine dragon roared, intimidating all living beings in the eight directions. It shot toward the Heavenly Roc's body, intending to swallow it whole.

But this was only the beginning. A river of stars flew out from Yang Tian's body, like a sea of stars descending from beyond the heavens, dazzling and brilliant, filling the sky.

Tianshu and Tianxuan concealed peerless artifacts. The seven great stars rotated simultaneously. Though not physical, their might was extraordinary, cascading down sheets of starry rivers as brilliant as the Milky Way.

As soon as Yang Tian's star phenomenon emerged, a tremor passed through his body. His eyes flickered with doubt for a moment. This attraction came from the star phenomenon itself!

He didn't dwell on it. With a powerful enemy before him, he couldn't afford distraction. He focused entirely on dealing with the Heavenly Roc.

The Heavenly Roc was shocked. Four consecutive terrifying phenomena had been unleashed. Yang Tian's foundation was too fearsome. It became determined to kill him.

It struck. Heavenly Roc claws manifested, as if forged from divine metal, attempting to tear apart the golden divine dragon's body.

But the Heavenly Roc miscalculated. The star phenomenon manifested, suppressing the heavens. Massive stars rotated, unleashing terrifying power. The phenomenon nearly formed a divine diagram, causing heaven and earth to pale.

"Break for me!" The Heavenly Roc was fearless. Its body clanged like metal, ignoring the surrounding suppression. Two Heavenly Roc claws manifested and tore at the star diagram, truly fearsome.

"Rotate!" Yang Tian sneered, sitting cross-legged in the sea of stars like a celestial god overlooking all living beings.

As his words fell, the Tianxuan star suddenly rotated, floating in the void. From within surged an overwhelmingly domineering aura. The Star Tower trembled, and heavy starry rivers instantly enveloped the Tianxuan star.

Clang! Clang! Like striking iron, the Tianxuan star rang out, sending off huge sparks. From within emerged a brilliant starry river.

"How is this possible?" Failing to tear open the star with one strike, the Heavenly Roc frowned. It faintly sensed a terrifying object within, unsettling it.

As it pondered, Tianshu surged with immense power. Sword qi manifested, splitting the sky, attempting to tear apart the Heavenly Roc's body.

Roar! The golden divine dragon roared, bathed in golden lightning, and charged down. It suddenly spat out a mouthful of purple-red thunderfire, truly terrifying.

"What the hell is this?" Sensing something that made his heart palpitate, the Heavenly Roc's flesh showed signs of withering. It dared not be careless and spat out a precious seal to block in front of it.

The purple-red thunderfire surged, scorching hot, melting even the void. It suddenly transformed into a three-legged Golden Crow charging down.

The Heavenly Roc retreated explosively, unafraid of the endless sword qi in the sky. Its precious body was strong, and it had the seal to protect itself.

Rumble! Suddenly, a great sun manifested behind the Heavenly Roc, radiating scorching waves of fire, terrifying enough to make one's heart tremble.

Chirp! The three-legged Golden Crow stood on the sun, its body golden like divine metal, covered in flames.

The three-legged Golden Crow was ten zhang tall, exuding an aura that dominated heaven and earth. It carried a Golden Crow divine furnace and charged down, extremely ferocious.

"Damn, another phenomenon!" The Heavenly Roc roared in anger, its golden hair standing on end. Unable to bear it any longer, it manifested its enormous true body within the star diagram.

"Break for me!" The Heavenly Roc went berserk. Its two golden wings swept across, causing the surroundings to explode. Like two divine weapons, they could split the eternal blue sky, extremely terrifying.

Seeing this, Yang Tian sneered. The Tianxuan star rotated, emitting an ancient and domineering aura. At that moment, the stars cracked open one after another, and layers of dazzling starry rivers burst forth.

The violently shaking star diagram suddenly stabilized. Layers of extremely powerful starry rivers appeared, heavily enveloping the trembling void within.

Nine layers of starry rivers, with countless stars inside, rotated. Within, it was like an ancient star field, shaking one's mind.

The Heavenly Roc's mind and heart trembled. Its incredulous eyes swept over the ninefold stacked starry rivers, which formed a star field too vast.

"Nine Heavens Star Sand, there's a treasure inside!" The Heavenly Roc's body trembled, and boundless greed surged in its eyes. Such a treasure was actually in the hands of a human.

"No..." At this moment, the Heavenly Roc's pupils contracted slightly. Its gaze flickered for a moment, then it roared: "You are Yang Tian!"

From many rumors, it knew that this invincible youth was extremely terrifying. He had destroyed the Li family's ancestral land, and a family that had been passed down for ten thousand years was not easily wiped out.

Moreover, the Star Tower treasure had spread across the continent, and the black sword in his hand was also a celestial weapon, weighing ten thousand jun.

"That's right." Hearing this, Yang Tian did not hide it and smiled lightly.

"Very good!" The Heavenly Roc suddenly laughed, shaking heaven and earth with an air of dominance. It declared: "Hand over the divine object and the Star Tower, and I'll spare your life!"
