Chapter 549: The Great Battle Begins!

How formidable was the soul fluctuation contained in a ten-thousand-year divine herb? Even experts of the older generation dared not break through in such a manner; with the slightest carelessness, the soul body could be torn apart.

The heavy medicinal power rampaged through the soul space. Yang Tian's soul body sat cross-legged within, now swaying precariously, its form twisting—a testament to the vastness of the medicinal power.

"This medicinal power is truly terrifying. Swallowing a divine herb raw is something to be done sparingly." Yang Tian felt utterly uncomfortable; if his soul body were not so strong, it would have been directly torn apart, extinguishing his consciousness.

"Suppress!" Yang Tian suddenly let out a soft cry. The Divine Dragon Soul-Calming Pendant instantly manifested, blood light surging to the heavens, unleashing a powerful fluctuation that immediately subdued the狂暴 energy.

"Good thing I prepared in advance, or it would have been troublesome." Sensing the subdued medicinal power, cold sweat broke out on Yang Tian's back, his expression one of lingering fear.

With his soul body rooted within, Yang Tian fully activated the Soul Refining Art, devouring the essence of the surrounding medicinal power. The aura within him surged at an astonishing speed.

In the outside world, a piercing cry that could shatter metal and split stone resounded through heaven and earth. It was a golden divine bird, leaping through the void, its aura intimidating, exuding the majesty of a king.

Xiao Qing's body was wreathed in wind and thunder. His massive wings tore through the sky as he charged into the endless sea of lightning, his feathers clanging continuously.

Xiao Qing spread his wings and soared, revealing a terrifying divine might. The divine blood flowing within him leaked an immortal divinity, causing hearts to tremble.

Rumble! The golden giant wings unfurled with a flourish, wind and thunder raging, heaven and earth rumbling. At a terrifying speed, they split apart patches of lightning sea, extremely ferocious.

"This young Peng is no simple creature—he has actually comprehended a trace of immortal charm!" Kui Long growled inwardly, his eyes glancing at the two furiously enraged Pengs, puzzled as to why they would harm their own kind.

"He must die!" Both Pengs were beings of that lineage. Although Xiao Qing's potential was astonishing, the old grudges were simply too great.

Given Xiao Qing's potential, anyone could see that if he did not fall in the future, he would surely become a king-level being, and might even ascend to the pinnacle of strength.

"Indeed, the descendant of Lord Peng Zhe is no ordinary creature." The noble humanoid being murmured to himself.

A young Peng crushed heaven and earth, unleashing supreme divine might, startling many beings. Most harbored ulterior motives; the flesh and blood of a Peng contained immortal thoughts, and consuming it would greatly benefit the physical body.

The lightning sea was fierce, occasionally engulfing Xiao Qing's body, but he always managed to break free. The kingly will he exuded grew increasingly terrifying, oppressing those of the same level, making it hard for them to look up.

As the lightning sea began to dissipate, just as many beings were stirring with restless intent, a terrifyingly vast soul fluctuation suddenly spread out. An infinite pressure of soul power arose, inspiring fear.

"Such a terrifying soul fluctuation—has Yang Tian broken through?" Bai Hu's eyes flickered, a hint of surprise appearing. Judging by the fluctuation, it should be the Soul Refining stage!

"Big brother must have broken through..." Xiao Xiao blinked her big, dark eyes, a trace of joy spreading across her fair little face. She affirmed quickly, "Big brother's alchemy skills are really impressive..."

In the distance, two furtive eyes peered inside, their expressions somewhat unpleasant. Yi Xing gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "If he breaks through to Soul Refining, that divine object might be beyond anyone here to suppress!"

"No matter what, not one of them will escape!" A hint of coldness appeared in Yi Shan's eyes. If they couldn't deal with Yang Tian here, outside it would be easy, wouldn't it?

Within the lightning sea, Yang Tian's entire body radiated a terrifying soul fluctuation. His soul body in the void was extremely formidable, exuding a strong majesty that made it hard to look directly at.

At that moment, the soul body floating in the void returned to his physical form. Yang Tian slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Xiao Qing, who was battling in the lightning sea. He nodded inwardly, a trace of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

After a moment of stillness, a jar of divine blood appeared in Yang Tian's hand, containing ten drops of Peng blood. Yang Tian licked his lips, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

The ten drops of divine blood descended, brimming with abundant divine essence. Each drop crackled with thunder, containing vast energy fluctuations.

"Not bad. I'll need to find a way to get more divine blood in the future—it's extremely beneficial for the flesh." A wave of comfort spread through his limbs and bones, and Yang Tian couldn't help murmuring.

The divine blood dissolved, transforming into golden waves within, imbued with divine radiance. Auspicious clouds bloomed, with a thousand streaks of colorful light, dazzling and magnificent.

As these ten drops of divine blood merged within his body, every trace of divine fluctuation gave Yang Tian a new understanding. This energy was very mysterious, flowing with terrifying divine might.

Rumble! Every moment, the sound of the Great Dao vibrated within him, splitting the sky. The six Dao bodies absorbed the divine radiance, their entire forms dazzling, with divine rings swirling above their heads.

This lasted for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Yang Tian felt as if reborn, his flesh trembling, a faint divine fluctuation emanating from his body, enough to make one's heart tremble.

Little Bai blinked his big black eyes, squinting them as he watched Yang Tian grow stronger. He was very happy, his chubby cheeks flushed red.

His flesh was transforming, containing terrifying explosive power. Every inch of flesh emitted a fragrant scent, and the deity sitting inside became even more fearsome, surrounded by chaos, rumbling within, as if all the gods were overlooking the earth.

The ten drops of divine blood merged into his bones and blood, and the immortal divinity within Yang Tian grew stronger. Mysterious energy fluctuations arose in the golden lake, becoming increasingly extraordinary.

"Such powerful energy! My strength has skyrocketed again!" After a while, Yang Tian clenched his fist, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes as he couldn't help saying.

These ten drops of divine blood were truly terrifying, comparable to rare treasures, containing supreme life essence. Most importantly, he had comprehended many things he had never encountered before, which would greatly benefit his future cultivation.

At this moment, Yang Tian slowly stood up. His gaze fell upon the remnants of the thunder sea in the void, and suddenly a terrifying suction force radiated from his body.

The surging thunder arcs abruptly transformed into torrents, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, converging into Yang Tian's body, then devoured by the thunder flames. The scene was extremely fierce and chilling.

The thunder tribulation dissipated, and Yang Tian's figure appeared. His eyes swept over the terrifying creatures around him. There was no fear in his gaze, but instead boundless battle intent, and a fearsome aura rose within him.

Yang Tian had condensed the Chaos Body, his soul cultivation had broken into the Soul Refining stage, and he could unleash the power of divine objects. In this place, he feared no one!

Figures stirred around. Yuan Xia and the others appeared before Yang Tian, their eyes falling on the surrounding creatures. This battle was inevitable—the allure of the divine object was too great.

"Kill!" At this moment, the creatures that had been silent all around moved. Even several terrifying divine beasts, with fearsome origins and surging divine power, charged directly.

With a boom, the White Tiger's body was a mass of white, murderous aura surging, and its terrifying killing intent rushed toward the Taotie.

Yu Yao was extremely ferocious, grinding her small teeth, wanting to devour another Roc. Her body was ethereal and elusive, blooming with the radiance of stars and moons as she charged at a Roc.

Rumble! The area shook violently. Eight terrifying creatures, swallowing mountains and rivers, roaring across the ten directions, crushed toward Yang Tian's head.

"Scram!" Yuan Xia's delicate brows slightly furrowed, her aura fluctuating. She walked with lotus steps, like a banished immortal descending to the mortal world, her hair gently dancing, stunning and beautiful.

The surrounding figures all moved, encountering powerful enemies. Yang Tian stomped his foot, looking at the body leaping toward him, a terrible killing intent appearing in his eyes.

It was a humanoid creature that had not revealed its true form. Being able to come here indicated its extremely terrifying foundation—it was a prodigy of its clan.

Boom, boom, boom! There was not just one creature; three creatures tore through the void and appeared before Yang Tian, intending to kill this outstanding talent.

"Kill!" Yang Tian shouted. The heavens rumbled, and a golden thunder drum manifested. The war sound of iron spears resounded through heaven and earth, an invincible will emanating, terrifying beyond measure, instantly sweeping the entire field.

With the thunder drum manifesting, Yang Tian's aura climbed step by step. Golden divine light spurted out, and chaotic beams shot in all directions. He was like a fearsome little divine king, extremely powerful.

"What a terrifying will!" Some creatures, crushed by this unshakable will, showed surprise in their eyes and inwardly exclaimed.

Boom! Heimo's body radiated divine light for a thousand zhang, his immense power pressing down on the sky. He directly smashed the large claw that emerged from the void and even forced its true body back.
