Chapter 748: Core Region!

When he heard the news, Cao Feng's eyes lit up. The innate divine object had been taken by a human cultivator, and he had been searching for it for days without any news.

Now that the exit was blocked by all the races, such a dragnet search would eventually find Yang Tian.

For the sake of a supreme treasure, even offending the major races was well worth it.

Moreover, the great sects from outside the domain were even on the verge of joining forces to create a deadly calamity, slaughtering all the human emperors in the small world!

This idea was extremely bold, but for the innate supreme treasure, it was worth it. Even if they had to endure heavenly tribulation, they would take the risk.

"You four, come here." He pointed at a few people, and Cao Feng shouted.

"Let's go..." Shaking his head, Yang Tian walked deeper inside. Now all the races were watching here, probably waiting for something.

Moreover, Cao Feng was aggressively recruiting human cultivators, likely with ill intentions. He definitely couldn't go in.

"How dare you!" Cao Feng was furious. He was a prodigy in both alchemy and martial arts. Even the geniuses of the other seven great families wouldn't speak to him like this, yet these four were incredibly audacious.

"Since a few brothers have come, why not come in and sit?" A faint laughing voice suddenly rang out in the field.

It was a young man with a refined appearance. Cao Jiang's expression was calm, but as he walked step by step, a terrifying formation spread around him.

"This person is somewhat strong..." Yang Tian glanced at him and murmured to himself. He guessed that this was the holy son of the Cao family.

"Sorry, I still have matters to attend to." Shaking his head, Yang Tian said indifferently. This was clearly a trap; he wouldn't be foolish enough to jump in. The Cao family wouldn't be so kind as to help many scattered cultivators.

"Haha, I, Cao Jiang, most enjoy befriending human prodigies. Now that our human race is oppressed by all the other races, brother, please come inside."

Cao Jiang seemed to have an excellent temper, still appearing refined, but he revealed his identity and also carried a hint of threat.

"Brother Cao is too kind. I really do have matters to attend to. I won't disturb you." Shaking his head, Yang Tian smiled faintly.

Frowning, Cao Jiang's face darkened. This man truly didn't know what was good for him. He had already humbled himself to invite him, yet he still refused to appreciate it.

"You have some nerve! Holy Son Cao invites you so courteously to save your worthless life, yet you dare to refuse!" A nearby person was displeased and spoke up to rebuke.

"Idiot..." Twitching his mouth, Yang Tian had no time to waste with them. He also couldn't make a move, as that would give Cao Jiang an excuse to attack. After all, Yang Tian carried a time bomb on him.

If things went wrong, all the experts in the small world would come killing him at once.

That person's face turned the color of pig liver. Just as he was about to strike and kill, Cao Jiang stopped him.

"Brother, this man is truly arrogant. I think the object is most likely on him!" Cao Feng snorted coldly. He felt that Yang Tian seemed familiar.

"It's not appropriate to act now. Don't you see so many experts here? That Yang Tian's cultivation is not weak, and he is skilled in illusion techniques. We'll ask Yi Xing to take a look later." Cao Jiang shook his head slightly, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Yang Tian was very close to Yuan Xia. His name had just been told by Yi Xing. This made Cao Jiang harbor great murderous intent toward him.

He had ascended the Creation Heavenly Staircase, obtained great fortune, and likely acquired some divine technique in the heavenly palace.

Such a prodigy being so close to the woman he admired was unacceptable to Cao Jiang. Therefore, Yang Tian had to die.

"Brother is right..." Gazing at Yang Tian walking deeper inside, Cao Feng nodded, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"By the way, brother, we have imprisoned Yuan Xia. I wonder if..." At this moment, a lecherous look appeared in Cao Feng's eyes, but then he shuddered. If the matter were exposed, they would all be finished.

"What's there to fear? After this matter is settled, we'll have the ancestor propose marriage. Then... Hmph!" Cao Jiang sneered coldly.

Yuan Xia was now in his hands; even if Yang Tian resisted, he would still have to submit obediently when the time came.

Clenching his fist, Cao Jiang's eyes flashed with a glint of wisdom. Even if the supreme elder of the Cao family learned of this, they would not be blamed, for the matter of the divine object was of great importance.

Yang Tian's eyes scanned around. Here, all were figures at the Emperor realm; not a single old ancestor-level powerhouse was present—truly strange.

Then his gaze fell ahead. This was the entrance to a Dao palace, its gold-lacquered gates a full hundred zhang high, radiating a golden divine charm, with the sound of Dao reverberating like thunder.

The entire Dao palace was rooted on a divine mountain, the rock walls gleaming with divine splendor. If one looked closely, various phantom images of strange beasts often manifested around the spirit mountain—a fearsome sight.

"Could this be the Ten Thousand Beasts Immeasurable Formation!" Fatty's heart trembled. The Ten Thousand Beasts Immeasurable Formation required capturing the essence of ten thousand beasts to lay out such a terrifying killing formation—a truly astonishing undertaking.

"What a grand scheme! The entire Dao palace is covered in formations, every rock wall imprinted with the will of experts. This is like an impenetrable fortress!" His eyes sweeping rapidly, Fatty exclaimed in wonder.

Yang Tian nodded as well. The great formation here was not only terrifying, but the spirit mountain was also a large dragon vein, with exceedingly abundant vital energy circulating within.

If one cultivated inside the spirit mountain, the speed would be incredibly fast.

The gold-lacquered gates ahead were tightly shut. At that moment, Yang Tian's eyelids twitched. There was a recess in the gates, shaped like a token.

"Could this token be the key to opening it?" Yang Tian was thrilled. The token was right on him!

"Damn it, when we came in, could that token open it?" Fatty was instantly excited and growled.

"Probably. Why are there so many people here?" Xiao Ji scratched his head, somewhat dissatisfied.

Rubbing his nose, Yang Tian forcefully suppressed his excitement and withdrew his gaze. He looked around, preparing to figure out the situation here.

"Esteemed elder, may I ask where this is?" At this moment, Yang Tian's eyes fell on a very old man. Cupping his hands, he inquired.

Hearing this, the old man glanced at him and, noting the formality of his salute, nodded slightly and said, "This is the gate leading inside."

"But why is no one going in?" Yang Tian asked, full of confusion.

"This gate conceals hidden mechanisms. The entire entrance to the Daoist palace is a great killing formation. Just now, a cultivator at the Ancestor level tried to force his way in and was nearly slain by the formation!" The old man's eyes flickered with a trace of fear.

"I see..." Yang Tian was astonished, then asked eagerly, "But what are all these people waiting for?"

"Although this gate is tightly shut, it can be opened with a token," the old man sighed. "As for other places, with our cultivation levels, we can't compete, and danger lurks everywhere. If an Ancestor-level expert gets displeased... then it's over!"

The old man trailed off, and Yang Tian suddenly understood: this gate was impossible to enter, and these people were here to avoid disaster. Now that the entrance was sealed, it was all Yang Tian's fault for taking the innate divine object...

The Emperor-level figures couldn't leave at all, because those contending for that object were Emperor-level themselves. They were hiding here to escape the conflict...

"Without any Ancestor-level figures, now we can open this gate..." A glint of fervor appeared in his eyes. If they entered first, they would naturally obtain a great many treasures.

This was the interior of the Five Villages Manor, and the spiritual root of heaven and earth was also here. Perhaps Yang Tian might even have some fate with it.

"Let's first see what scheme they're plotting..." Yang Tian suddenly understood. At this moment, his eyes fell on Cao Feng, who was still trying to win over the human cultivators, and he sneered coldly.

Finding a quiet cave, Yang Tian's body coiled on a stone bed, and a hazy white mist spewed out.

Under the fat man's horrified gaze, a young man in his twenties walked out of the white mist, and then three completely different people emerged at once. Was this killing? ...

"I'll be back soon; wait for me here." Winking, Yang Tian chuckled.

"Nani? All three are Yang Tian?" The fat man muttered, still not recovered from the shock.

"It seems so..." Xiaoji also rubbed his eyes. Now only the two of them were left in the cave, and even Xiaobai had been taken away.

"We must be seeing things. How could there be such a heaven-defying divine ability..." The fat man still didn't believe it. The transformation just now was too astonishing.
