Chapter 659: Escape from Death

The terrifying clash shocked people's minds. Their eyes, filled with disbelief, fell on Yang Tian. This mere twenty-year-old youth was too terrifying.

Even Wu Li's heart trembled immensely. Even with all his trump cards, he could hardly withstand this divine ability.

“Sister, Brother Yang is really amazing…” Ning Xiu couldn't help raising her jade hand. Recalling how Yang Tian looked when he was rescued that day, she couldn't help sticking out her tongue.

“Of course. That day on Divine Dao Mountain, he slaughtered the beings of the Sacred Mountain and buried a large group of prodigies from various clans.” A hint of a smile flickered in Ning Xue's bright eyes as she spoke.

A giant hand crushed heaven and earth, pressing down half the sky like a great mountain. The violent golden divine sea around him instantly solidified.

“Explode for me!” Seeing this, Yang Tian roared loudly. The golden divine sea exploded in an instant, unleashing surging waves, with continuous loud booms. Vast abysses appeared in the void, tearing it apart!

A hair-raising scene: even a half-step Emperor realm figure would be torn to shreds. Every wisp of wind was extremely fierce.

“This man is terrifying. I wonder which clan he belongs to.” People marveled at Yang Tian's combat power.

“Hmph, useless. I admit you are strong, but unfortunately you have met me.” Xiao Hai sneered. He was an Emperor. If he couldn't even suppress a Great Saint, he might as well crash into a wall and die.

Ning Xue's heart tightened. He was right; Yang Tian was no match for this old monster. Being able to exchange a few moves was already rare.

A huge furnace appeared, crushing heaven and earth like a behemoth crossing the sky. From the furnace mouth, divine light surged into the sky, suppressing this violent onslaught.

At this moment, Yang Tian's figure suddenly flashed, like a golden bolt of lightning, charging madly toward the outside.

“Where do you think you're going!” Xiao Hai sneered repeatedly. His figure directly appeared before him, and his palm struck toward Yang Tian's head.

Ning Xue's heart nearly leaped out. This move was impossible to evade; Xiao Hai's speed was too terrifying.

Someone couldn't help closing their eyes, not wanting to see a prodigy fall. However, Xiao Hai's hand slowly came to a halt.

“This is the Carefree Eight Wastelands Step!” His eyelids couldn't help twitching. He had long mastered this step; how could he not recognize it?

But this was a secret divine ability of Carefree Valley. Even Wu Li was not qualified to cultivate it. How could an outsider know it?

His heart was filled with doubts. Then Xiao Hai snorted coldly, a sinister smile appearing in his eyes as he discerned the mystery.

“Once I catch you, I'll know everything. Even if Star River Sect questions me, I'll have an excuse for practicing Carefree Valley's divine ability.” Xiao Hai snorted. But just as he was about to strike, he sensed a terrifying soul fluctuation.

His expression changed drastically. This soul fluctuation was extremely powerful, even stronger than his own soul cultivation, and it was now charging toward his glabella!

This terrifying soul fluctuation made everyone present tremble, as if their souls had left their bodies.

“Right, Yang Tian has a divine object!” At this moment, a hint of joy flashed in Ning Xue's eyes. Yang Tian possessed a supreme soul treasure, which had been widely discussed back then.

With Yang Tian's soul cultivation and a supreme soul treasure, even some Emperors would be wary.

Although Yang Tian's current soul cultivation was similar to that of Yang Xiao in the past, when Yang Xiao first touched upon Manifest Sainthood, he was indeed terrifying enough to battle a quasi-Emperor.

But Yang Xiao had sat in meditation for hundreds of thousands of years. How could his soul cultivation be compared to ordinary people? He existed in a different form, and his soul body's combat power far surpassed others.

Every hair on Xiao Hai's body stood on end. Fear arose in his heart, and his soul body trembled.

But his reaction was not slow; the aura within him instantly became terrifying, like an awakened divine dragon, erupting with overwhelming fluctuations that caused the buildings all around to shake.

"Get lost!" His large hand struck into the void, emitting ten thousand zhang of divine light. He struck with full force, shaking a thousand li of mountains and rivers!

With a bang, the hazy void immediately exploded, and a sea of blood cracked apart. This soul-killing technique was broken by Xiao Hai with brute force.

"Bastard!" His eyes shone with divine light, like divine lamps, scanning the surroundings. At the same time, his body moved. Xiao Hai did not believe that Yang Tian could escape far with his strength.

Xiao Hai left, and the crowd immediately scattered. At present, a great change was likely to occur in the entire Juling City. How could the Xiaoyao Valley let the matter rest after losing a genius?

"The Bai family is in for trouble. The Xiaoyao Valley will surely vent their anger on them." Some forces friendly with the Bai family sighed secretly. Their clan was once a famous great clan, and although it had declined in recent years, its reputation had always been good.

Ning Xiu curled her jade-like fingers around her shoulder, her eyes fixed on Ning Xue, and said softly, "Sister, he should be able to escape, right?"

"Probably. If he had been found, there would have been some commotion by now," Ning Xue nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"That's true. A person who created a myth wouldn't die so easily." A glimmer shone in her big eyes, and Ning Xiu smiled.

"Let's go!" The faces of the Wu family members were unpleasant. At present, their clan had no mind to discuss the benefits in Juling City. The most important thing now was to appease Xiao Hai's anger.

Ning Xue's beautiful eyes slowly relaxed. With Yang Tian's various unpredictable methods, he could navigate smoothly even under the pursuit of the major divine mountains. He was probably fine.

"Patriarch, what should we do?" The third elder took a deep breath and said slowly, "Xiao Yuan is dead. Xiao Hai will definitely come after us. Then the clan will be in danger."

"For now, we can only take things one step at a time. Besides, our Bai family is not so easy to bully." Clenching his fist, the Bai patriarch shouted, "Return to the clan for discussion!"

Behind the Bai family was a vast forest sea, lush and green everywhere, with dense leaves that made it extremely difficult for sunlight to penetrate.

"This old man probably wouldn't think I came here, right?" A figure appeared in this area. Yang Tian looked around for a moment and couldn't help but smile.

The terror of a great emperor—Yang Tian couldn't escape far by merely traversing the void. He would probably have alerted this person as soon as he moved.

Xiao Hai's speed was not ordinary. He could only hide for now and find a way to leave in a few days.

Using Black Demon to carve out a cave, Yang Tian walked in, sat cross-legged on a large stone, and recalled the experiences of these days, which had been extremely perilous.

His body appeared in the Ancestral Dragon Ring. Yang Tian looked at the little monkey sleeping soundly and said with a smile, "This guy is much more fortunate than Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing. They didn't get to eat the Kui Dragon's flesh back then. This way, his transformation speed is many times faster."

Inside the Ancestral Dragon Ring was a Divine Flower of Enlightenment. The little monkey played there every day, enhancing both its cultivation and mind. It was truly a rare treasure land.

Beside the Soul-Nourishing Divine Tree, Yang Xiao's body lay. Compared to before, Yang Xiao's condition had improved somewhat. Thanks to the miraculous effects of the divine tree, his seven souls had recovered a bit, but full recovery would take considerable time.

These days, just stabilizing Yang Xiao's injuries had exhausted the soul-nourishing treasures. Yang Tian's Ancestral Dragon Ring no longer had any soul-nourishing treasures left.

"A core disciple of the Xiaoyao Valley should have plenty of good stuff." Scratching his head, Yang Tian took Xiao Yuan's void ring in his hand. A wisp of his soul power surged into it, instantly blasting a trace of soul fluctuation.

With a clatter, a pile of things fell to the ground. Yang Tian first picked up the Vermilion Flame Furnace. When he sensed a terrifying soul power sealed inside, he set it aside for the moment.

When confronting the enemy earlier, he had noticed that this furnace was not simple. It was likely a treasure of a powerful being, with extremely strong seals inside. It was probably a heavenly artifact!

"Not bad. There are five soul-nourishing treasures, though their age is a bit low." Licking his lips, Yang Tian flicked his sleeve and moved the needed treasures to one side.

After sorting for a while, his hand picked up a jade slip. This jade slip was very extraordinary, faintly emitting a terrifying fluctuation.

"No sealing technique? Such an important jade slip, why isn't there any preservation method?" A trace of doubt appeared in his eyes. Yang Tian stroked his chin, and his soul power carefully surged inside.
