Chapter 545: A Gathering of Prodigies

Between heaven and earth, a blood-red expanse—this was the blood-colored divine flame, scorching and insufferable, melting the void until it was riddled with holes.

A blood-red divine stone floated and sank in the void, exuding a terrifying aura. Strand after strand of blood-colored divine flame fell to the earth like a tide, shattering mountains and evaporating distant rivers, crushing everything with overwhelming divine might.

The divine flame was dreadful; the flesh and blood of some creatures withered, their bodies twisted. The surrounding beings were greatly alarmed and immediately retreated.

“Hmm, isn’t this the Blood Phoenix Divine Stone?” Seeing the artifact floating in the void, a hint of surprise appeared in Xuan Yuan Mu’s eyes. This divine stone could be called an ultimate weapon, extremely terrifying.

“Hadn’t it been lost? Was it found?” A trace of doubt flickered in his eyes as Xuan Yuan Mu murmured softly.

A woman in white, like an immortal, with a divine posture unmatched in the world, appeared before the many beings. She stepped through the void like a goddess, her temperament transcendent and otherworldly.

Some recognized her, their pupils contracting, fear appearing in their eyes.

“Isn’t this the Saintess of the Yuan Clan? No wonder Xuan Yuan Mu made a move!” Someone clicked their tongue in amazement. The one protecting Yang Tian was actually the Saintess of the Yuan Clan. Her status was noble, and even the descendants of some divine beasts dared not act recklessly.

A clamor arose between heaven and earth. They were extremely wary of this woman. Her clan was terrifying, with ancient origins, and even the great divine mountains dared not provoke them lightly.

“The descendant of Lord Peng Zhe has actually comprehended immortality—unbelievable.” The gaze of the majestic humanoid creature fell on Xiao Qing, who was sitting cross-legged inside, and he murmured slowly in his heart.

“Brother, isn’t little brother amazing? Sister Yuan is here too.” Xiao Xiao raised her little fist, blinked her big eyes, and looked excitedly at Yang Tian floating in the deepest part and the graceful Yuan Xia, giggling.

“Very strong. If I were at the same level, I probably wouldn’t be a match for Yang Tian.” The young man was very decisive and stated outright.

“This guy’s relationship with the Saintess is unusual—she’s even protecting him.” At this moment, his gaze fell on Yuan Xia, surprise appearing in his eyes.

“The divine object is inside Yang Tian—it’s a soul treasure!” Seeing the many beings hesitate, Yi Xing suddenly roared. The corners of his eyes were nearly splitting. The woman he had claimed as his own was actually protecting Yang Tian, and he couldn’t accept it.

As soon as the words fell, the Kanglong Scepter in Xuan Yuan Mu’s hand shone. A silver wave, like a bolt of silk, swept across the wilderness and struck directly at his head, bearing down with ten thousand jun of force, enough to split the void.

With a boom, although he withstood the attack, he was shaken and coughed up blood. Clearly, he was heavily injured, and all the bones in his body trembled.

“Kill!” The Taotie could no longer hold back, roaring and shaking the mountains and rivers. His body blazed with blood light, and together with the surrounding beings, he unleashed overwhelming divine might, a fearsome aura that made one shudder.

The two Roc birds went berserk, their bodies as if cast from gold. Spreading their wings, they could split the ancient azure sky, extremely terrifying, as they sought to kill Xiao Qing.

As the terrifying killing aura descended, Xiao Qing’s eyes, which had been closed, opened. In the flickering light of his gaze, golden lightning struck horizontally. His blood energy surged unsteadily—this was a sign of breakthrough.

No matter how formidable Yuan Xia was, she couldn’t withstand the combined assault of so many beings. She was forced back step by step. Fatty and Xiao Ji were shaken until they coughed blood; the situation was extremely perilous.

“Duo!” Suddenly, a soft cry rang out. The mountains trembled, and the area nearly collapsed. A peerless being struck from the shadows, intending to kill Yang Tian in one blow. It was terrifying, divine light connecting heaven and earth.

“Boom!” Yuan Xia’s foot stomped hard, and the void instantly shattered. The alien creature hidden in the void was shaken and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Suppress her!” The Kui Long roared, shaking heaven and earth, extremely terrifying, trembling the firmament.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow soared, his whole body ablaze with divine flame. He vaguely recognized Yang Tian’s appearance—it was the group that had stolen the Roc’s flesh. Rage burned in his heart.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow attacked, and Yuan Xia was overwhelmed. Just then, a figure in white, like snow, walked over. His whole body blazed with fire, the flames he emitted no less than those of the Three-Legged Golden Crow.

“Saintess, leave him to me.” The young man stood unmoving, poised in the void, staring at the Three-Legged Golden Crow, and said calmly.

“Mm.” Yuan Xia nodded slightly. This was the Divine Body of the Alchemy Valley, extremely powerful. She had met him a few times in the Alchemy Valley; his cultivation had likely reached the Great Power level.

Boom, boom, boom! The Divine Body of the Alchemy Valley struck fiercely, divine flame burning the sky. His whole body radiated scorching light, like a divine furnace burning, a sun so dazzling that the flesh of the surrounding beings seemed to wither.

“How dare you!” The Three-Legged Golden Crow’s eyes were icy. Opening his mouth, he spat out a large mass of divine flame, shooting it toward the young man.

With the eruption of powerful moves, the Kui Long and Taotie joined forces to attack Yuan Xia, and the situation was barely maintained.

On the other side, Xiao Qing, Xiao Bai, Fatty, and Xiao Ji fought against the two Roc birds. They seemed not to be at a disadvantage, even gaining the upper hand.

The scene was extremely intense. Many beings on the periphery of the void grew restless; some had already reached the edge of the battlefield, ready to charge in.

Around this area, some creatures with cultivation not inferior to the terrifying Kui Long sat cross-legged on the great mountains, comprehending the Dao scriptures emanating from heaven and earth, meditating on divine abilities. Their auras were extremely terrifying.

“A bunch of fools… The Dao Flower of Enlightenment is rare in the world, yet you have this opportunity and don’t cherish it!” A youth of eighteen or nineteen sat cross-legged in the high sky, his aura so powerful it made all beings tremble. His whole body blazed with golden light, shocking the world. Sensing the Dao rhythm spreading around, he shouted.

Yang Tian sat cross-legged in the depths, surrounded by thick mist. Inside him, rumbling sounds echoed. The divine sound of the Dao grew more and more vast, as if gods were chanting scriptures.

His aura became increasingly terrifying. Surging energy, like a mountain river bursting its banks, erupted into patches of divine light, flooding the ten directions.

All one hundred and eight acupoints in his body trembled. The energy contained within the vortexes was immense, expanding at a terrifying speed.

Yang Tian’s whole body was filled with astonishing Dao rhythm, drawing in the essence of the eight extremes, nourishing his radiant flesh. His strength was skyrocketing. One after another, divine rainbows coiled out, wrapping his entire body in a sacred aura.

“We can’t wait any longer. Once Yang Tian wakes up, it will be very hard to kill him.” A terrifying creature murmured. Yang Tian carried a divine object, and these beings all had their eyes on it.

Boom! It struck fiercely, its mountain-like body pressing down on the sky, like a divine mountain descending. The surroundings exploded. It was extremely ferocious, nearly breaking through the sky, its body terrifyingly massive.

As it moved, the group of beings outside immediately grew restless. There were about ten of them, each extremely terrifying. They charged together, intending to kill Yang Tian.

“Damn it!” Yuan Xia bit her red lips. If they rushed over, Yang Tian’s enlightenment would end, and he would lose a great opportunity—a once-in-a-millennium chance.

Dong, dong! Her steps tread in the void, generating terrifying patterns that spread wildly in all directions, attempting to suppress the group of powerful alien creatures. Her bearing was astonishing.

“Roar!” Seeing this, the Kui Long let out a great roar, shaking the sky. His single foot stamped the ground, and instantly, thunder and rain raged between heaven and earth. A terrifying gale rose, like a great wave rolling forward, instantly breaking the patterns ahead.

“Little brother…” Seeing the divine light from the Kui Long strike toward Yang Tian’s head, Xiao Xiao leaped up. A scorching flame blazed in her eyes, its aura making one’s heart tremble.

With a loud boom, a terrifying divine flame rose, weaving into a fearsome fire domain, instantly halting the flying divine light.

“Roar!” The Kui Long was instantly enraged. A little girl dared to block his path? He went berserk, roaring wildly.

“What are you staring at me for?” Xiao Xiao’s big eyes, like black gems, were wide open, and she said angrily. She sat cross-legged around Yang Tian, her whole body ablaze with fire, like a fire goddess, exuding a terrifying aura.

Since the last tribulation in the Danhuo Domain, Xiao Xiao had been taken as a disciple by the Fire Ancestor. Her strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. She possessed a divine body, and her cultivation was formidable, mastering many divine arts.

Yuan Xia’s aura surged, and then a terrifyingly magnificent five-colored divine phoenix shot out from within her, spreading its wings and soaring, its bloodline pressure shocking the entire scene.

The Blood Phoenix Divine Stone shone, weaving a terrifying fire domain. A fire phoenix cried out in the void, spreading a terrifying aura, suppressing this entire space.

“This…” Xuan Yuan Mu was the first to notice the change, surprise appearing in his eyes. He sensed that Yuan Xia’s bloodline seemed somewhat strong?

“How is this possible?” Several terrifying creatures were astonished. Their bloodlines were actually inferior by a notch.

Rumble! Even though Yuan Xia’s aura suddenly became terrifying, the beings present were numerous. They charged together, and even the Blood Phoenix Divine Stone, which suppressed many beings in the void, began to tremble.
