Fifty Years Later
Over the years, the Nine-Dragon Heaven-Burning Furnace has devoured countless resources from Yang Tianyou, restoring his previously damaged Spirit Treasure body to a great extent. The strength he can unleash is now far greater than when he first obtained the treasure. Although he still cannot compete with cultivators undergoing their second Tribulation Transcendence, he is capable of exchanging a few blows with them.
Dealing with the Obscuring Light Devil Race in front of them would be even easier.
Previously, Yang Tianyou was not strong enough and did not want to rashly take out such a treasure, lest he attract unwanted attention. But now he is not afraid at all!
Call...
Streams of colorful, dazzling flames shot out from the Fencang Furnace, instantly transforming into ferocious dragons that soared into the sky, emitting Dragon Roars.
A scorching heatwave swept outwards, instantly turning the area within an 800-mile radius into a sea of fire. At the very center of that sea of fire was the Obscuring Light Devil Race.
The demon was preoccupied with Yang Tianyou's Life-and-Death Wheel and had no time to spare. He never expected the latter to suddenly pull out a High-Grade Spirit Treasure, and his expression turned pale with shock.
Not only him, but everyone else, including Yang Tianyou's six teammates and the five Yan Ju brothers, did not expect that Yang Tianyou would actually possess a High-Grade Spirit Treasure. This level of treasure is something that even a considerable number of Body Integration Cultivators, let alone Bandit Cultivator at the Integration stage, do not possess.
Moreover, judging from the aura of this seven-colored furnace, it is not weak even among High-Grade Spirit Treasures.
"Good heavens, Brother Great White has been hiding his true strength!" Jie Yuan exclaimed in amazement, but he quickly cheered up because Yang Tianyou's sudden outburst gave Jie Yuan hope for victory. Avenging Chi Heng was something Jie Yuan had been dreaming about all this time.
"Brother Great White has used his trump card, so I can't be stingy anymore!" Jie Yuan muttered to himself, a look of pain flashing across his face, before taking out a black Pills.
With a gentle toss, the Pills transformed into another Jie Yuan, its entire body emitting billowing poisonous smoke that made one want to vomit.
Black-Pill Jie Yuan charged forward expressionlessly, heading straight into the black hole of the Obscuring Light Devil Race. Not long after, the Obscuring Light Devil Race leader Ta Yi, changed his expression drastically, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. His body quickly withered, and his aura plummeted.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jie Yuan and the others launched a fierce attack.
On Yang Tianyou's side, the Life-and-Death Wheel and the Nine-Dragon Heaven-Burning Furnace attacked from both sides. The Obscuring Light Devil Race quickly became unable to hold on and was severely injured. Its eyes looked around, as if it was looking for a way to retreat, or as if it was expecting rescue.
Seeing this, Yang Tianyou quickened his pace of attack, slashing one sword after another. His combat power had silently reached the Tribulation Transcendence level.
In fact, since the formation of Great White Grotto Heaven, Yang Tianyou's cultivation has entered a fast track. He only needs to expand the Grotto Heaven to reach the Earth Immortal Realm step by step.
The so-called bottleneck in cultivation had long since ceased to exist for him.
This means that with two powerful beings undergoing Tribulation Transcendence, the Obscuring Light Devil Race quickly couldn't hold on and was trapped inside the Nine-Dragon Heaven-Burning Furnace, never to emerge again.
After defeating one opponent, Yang Tianyou soared into the air, put away the Nine-Dragon Heaven-Burning Furnace that was refining the Obscuring Light Devil Race, and sped towards the Jie Yuan.
Instead of targeting the Tribulation Transcendence Devil Race, he turned his attention to the Obscuring Light Devil Race with Body Integration combat power.
With Yang Tianyou's current strength, dealing with Body Integration was a piece of cake. Soon, one Obscuring Light Devil Race fell at his hands, another was in imminent danger, and the rest were filled with panic. At this point, even a fool could see that the Obscuring Light Devil Race Demon was likely to be defeated.
"Ah..." Ta Yi roared madly, trying every means to break free from the encirclement of the Hongya Squad, but in the end he was powerless and died tragically.
On Yan Ju's side, the two Tribulation Transcendence Obscuring Light Devil Race also failed to escape their Destiny of annihilation, leaving only a Biological Flying Boat. This creature possessed independent consciousness and put up a stubborn resistance, prompting Yang Tianyou, who had initially intended to spare its life, to unleash a slash that severed it in two, its consciousness also being obliterated by the powerful Blade Intent.
A resounding victory!
Although Kumao, Duo Ling, and even Hong Ya were all severely injured, no one died in battle. For cultivators who were active on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield year-round, being injured was just a common occurrence.
"Let's go, let's get out of here quickly!" Hong Ya laughed and took out a brand new Flying Boat. After everyone got on, they left the place together with Yan Ju Squad.
Several hours later, in a cave in the center of a huge hollowed-out rock, an elegant pavilion stood tall.
Inside the pavilion, twelve people, including the five Yan Ju brothers, sat together, each holding a wine cup.
Jie Yuan shouted, "Come on, let's drink this first cup to celebrate Chi Heng Chiheng!!"
"Come on! Let's do it!!"
"Drink!!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.
"This second cup is to our brother Great White. If he hadn't used High-Grade Spirit Treasure to open up the game first, even if we had won this time, it would have been a pyrrhic victory!" Hong Ya said with emotion, raising his cup.
"Yes, a tribute to Great White!"
"As long as my brothers don't blame me for hiding my trump card, I'm truly grateful. It's just my duty!" Yang Tianyou waved his hand and said with a wry smile.
"Not at all. Everyone in the cultivation Cultivation World has a trump card. Back when we entered the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, for the first few decades, even hundreds of years, we hid our cards even better than you. You can't be too careful. I understand, I understand!" Red Hawk covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Yes, Great White, there's no need to blame yourself for this. We've all been through this, and we all understand you. Come to think of it, in just ten years, you trusted us to use our best weapons. That's enough to show your loyalty to your brothers!" Jie Yuan added. The others nodded in agreement, each with a sincere smile on their face.
Seeing this, Yang Tianyou picked up his wine glass and laughed, "I was the one who judged you with my petty mind. I'll drink this glass to apologize!"
After saying that, Yang Tianyou tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Great!! That's awesome!!"
The atmosphere was lively, with everyone clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.
After several rounds of drinks, everyone brought out their spoils from the battle.
"So many treasures!" Jie Yuan's eyes lit up.
"Unfortunately, most of them are tainted with Devil Qi, but luckily we have Great White!"
"Haha, having a Demon-Expelling Master is so convenient, we're really benefiting from it." Yan Ju laughed heartily.
The principles for dividing the spoils were very well-established, and the proportions were quickly determined. Yang Tianyou received the most, and with the income from exorcising demons, his share was even more substantial.
After the spoils were distributed, the two teams separated and continued to rely on each other as before.
Time slips through our fingers like sand; in the blink of an eye, another fifty years have passed!
