Chapter 742: Slaughter

Realizing that he had been noticed by the evil dragon, Yang Tian's face instantly tightened. He had already witnessed the dragon's methods—grasping everything within heaven and earth—too terrifying.

Fatty and Xiao Ji's faces turned grim. Just as they were about to pull Yang Tian and flee, they found themselves trapped.

"Damn it..." Xiao Bai howled inwardly. This evil dragon was extremely eerie, completely beyond their ability to contend with.

Seeing the target of the evil dragon's attention, the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root looked over and murmured inwardly: "He has actually cultivated the Dao Scripture. This child is not old; it seems the Dao Sect has gained another disciple."

"Eh?" A surprised voice emerged in the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root's mind. He examined closely for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh heartily: "So that's it. It seems the one I've been waiting for has come!"

With the same move unleashed, Yang Tian's body was instantly trapped, and his heart leaped into his throat.

"Wretch!" A voice like a bronze bell resounded, and the Celestial Spirit Root stirred, its supple and soft branches swaying. With a single light lash, it shook the mountains.

With a loud crack, like the clash of swords, the evil dragon's entire body trembled violently. Dozens of scales were stripped from its body, falling like great mountains.

"This..." The Spirit Root appeared suddenly. Yang Tian's face lit up with joy, but then he grew puzzled. He had no connection with the Spirit Root; why would it help him?

Moreover, when the white-robed elder was devoured earlier, it had not intervened.

"Ah... how dare you wound me!" The evil dragon roared in fury: "Damn you, a mere lowly being, how dare you harm my body!"

"Hmph, wretch, leave at once, or I will shatter my soul to make yours dissipate!" The Celestial Spirit Root thundered, clearly intent on killing.

"Damn it!" Though enraged, the evil dragon was no match for the Celestial Spirit Root.

"I will return, and when I do, I will make your soul perish, never to enter reincarnation!" The evil dragon growled, venomous and bitter.

Under the gazes of those around, the dragon body coiled in the void slowly dissipated, vanishing between heaven and earth, heading to some unknown place.

In the hazy void, a terrifying shadow traversed the great void—or rather, one could not see through its reality; around this shadow were divine beams of light.

This was a Bagua mirror. Though the divine might it revived was not great, one could detect the surging fluctuations within, and its power of concealment was such that even the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root had not noticed it. It seemed to be tracking the steps of the evil dragon!

"Senior..." Yang Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to thank him, he found that the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root had vanished without a trace.

"Where did he go..." The fat man scratched his head, full of confusion. Doing a good deed without leaving a name?

Yi Xing's face instantly twisted, and he roared, "I'll slaughter them all, to avenge the ancestor!"

"Avenge the ancestor!" Seven imperial realm figures from the Tianji Sect shouted. Although only a clone of the ancestor had been destroyed, the main body must have suffered a tremendous impact.

And all these changes were due to Yang Tian's appearance. If not for his arrival, the divine medicine would have been obtained long ago, and the ancestor would not have lost a clone.

"Kill!" The first to charge was an old man with a beardless, white face. He was extremely formidable, possessing the cultivation of an Imperial Lord.

"Without the support of the Ten Thousand Dragon Forbidden Land, what can you use to fight me?" Yang Tian sneered coldly. Yang Xiao, now having stepped into the Manifest Saint intermediate stage, could kill even an Imperial Lord with the aid of the Divine Dragon Soul-Suppressing Jade Pendant.

With a bang, the resplendent divine sea, like a tidal wave, pressed down overwhelmingly, causing heaven and earth to tremble violently, as if intending to slay the four of them on the spot.

With a hum, a crimson divine radiance, accompanied by rumbling divine sounds, instantly pierced through the divine sea and struck toward Yang Tian's body.

"Scram!" Yang Tian shouted softly. The Heaven-Mending Cauldron rose and fell, emitting a beam of divine light from within, which directly collided with the crimson divine radiance.

The great battle erupted. The four of Yang Tian stood together. A jade talisman spread runes that suppressed heaven and earth; a Xuanhuang Pagoda shook all things; a Yin-Yang Divine Talisman held firm the universe and the earth.

The Heaven-Mending Cauldron clashed with the crimson divine radiance. The radiance was shattered into pieces. Even from a great distance, Yi Xing's body was shaken and trembled.

"Damn it..." He was truly shocked. Yi Xing never expected Yang Tian's strength to be so terrifying now; even his demonic eyes were useless.

Yang Tian was like a ferocious beast. He suddenly spread his arms, tearing apart vast stretches of the divine sea. Golden blood energy interwove into golden divine chains, surging endlessly in all directions.

His target was the Heavenly Mechanism Platform. This artifact was very strange. During the half-year seclusion of the Eastern State Alliance, Fatty had once again deduced the whereabouts of his parents, but unfortunately, he could calculate nothing.

If he had the aid of the Heavenly Mechanism Platform, deducing the place where his parents were imprisoned would have a great chance of success. Yang Tian could not give up.

Seeing Yang Tian charging in, the figures sitting cross-legged all moved. One after another, great artifacts suppressed down, each awakening its divine might. The place was in complete turmoil.

He snorted coldly. The mouth of the Heaven Mending Cauldron emitted multicolored divine rainbows, each one very brilliant, rushing toward the artifacts.

"Seeking death!" An old man from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect sneered. Although this young man was formidable, trying to clash with their great artifacts all at once was indeed somewhat arrogant.

However, in the next moment, the old man's face stiffened directly. The artifacts that were about to clash with the divine rainbows had lost contact.

"What's going on? Where is my Azure Jade Treasure Cauldron?" The old man with a fair face and no beard frowned. He had lost contact with his artifact.

Five divine rainbows instantly swept away five great artifacts, and then each divine rainbow returned to the cauldron. A terrifying devouring force began to erupt.

Inside the cauldron, the phantom of a Heaven-Swallowing Beast roared, shaking heaven and earth. A powerful devouring force twisted toward the artifacts.

"Ah..." An old man outside suddenly cried out. He directly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face full of shock. His artifact had been destroyed.

Five figures at the Emperor Realm coughed blood in succession. All their artifacts were destroyed. This scene was too bizarre.

"What a treasure..." Yi Xing's eyes burned with desire. Five artifacts had been devoured. The status of this cauldron in his heart skyrocketed.

"Shameless brat!" The old man with a fair face and no beard was furious, but his eyes were burning with greed as he looked at the multicolored divine cauldron. Just the method of collecting artifacts earlier had already made him envious.

During a fight, if I just release the Divine Rainbow, wouldn't the opponent's artifacts be directly taken away?

The old man with a fair face and no beard howled loudly as he charged forward to seize this mysterious supreme treasure. The surrounding elders dared not hesitate and successively joined the fray.

"Hmph, a bunch of old fogies. Even if you manage to snatch this supreme treasure, do you think you can keep it for yourselves?" Yi Xing sneered. Given his status, as long as he spoke to the Ancestor, it would be taken away from them.

They all thought the cauldron no longer belonged to Yang Tian, but was he really just a piece of fish to be carved up?

"These old bastards are in for trouble..." Fatty and Xiao Ji exchanged glances, both letting out sly laughs.

They knew that Yang Xiao's soul body had revived. Engaging in close combat with a soul body at the Manifest Saint realm was simply suicide, especially since he also possessed a divine artifact.

Given the strength of Yang Xiao's soul, he could activate it several times without issue, and the divine might he unleashed was far beyond what Yang Tian could match.

With a bang, a large hand tore through the void, splitting open a huge rift above Yang Tian's head. As soon as that hand reached out, five more hands appeared, all grabbing at the Heaven-Mending Cauldron.

"Scram!" Yang Tian roared, his black hair wildly flying, his golden battle armor clanging incessantly as he desperately activated the power of the Heaven-Mending Cauldron.

"Boy, you're just a quasi-emperor, don't struggle!" The old man with a fair face and no beard sneered, his sky-covering hand reaching directly for the Heaven-Mending Cauldron.

With a hum, the Heaven-Mending Cauldron trembled violently. This old man was terrifyingly powerful; he directly scooped it up.

How could those who had rushed over in haste be willing to give up? Since the cauldron was not yet under anyone's control, they naturally had excuses to argue over its seizure.

"Beware of a trick!" Yi Xing frowned. Yang Tian hadn't even tried his best. Based on his daily study of Yang Tian, the other party must have set a trap!

"Pfft... What tricks could a mere brat have?" The old man with a fair face and no beard sneered. He himself was the Inner Sect Grand Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, but Yi Xing always overshadowed him. This time, he probably didn't want him to obtain this treasure either.

"This old scoundrel..." Yi Xing stomped in fury. Although he had some disagreements with the Grand Elder, their sect only had a handful of emperor-level experts. Wouldn't it be a huge loss if he was killed like this?
