Breaking Through to Nascent Soul Together
Tianyun Cave, high in the sky, Yang An'nan and Yang Anping concealed themselves, using the Secret Method contained within the Five Elements Sha Origin Art to merge with heaven and earth without revealing the slightest flaw. Even Nascent Soul Cultivator would overlook them if they didn't specifically check.
"Brother Nan, over the past ten days, we've gathered a basic understanding of Tianyun Cave, and it's largely consistent with the information recorded in the Lineage's intelligence. I think we can make our move now," Yang Anping said eagerly.
"Alright, let's get started. Remember, once you make your move, you must use all your strength, and you must leave Tianyun Cave within half a quarter of an hour. This is the safest time. If you exceed this time, you risk being hunted down by the Spirit Tribe's Patrol Envoys!" Yang An'nan instructed.
"Don't worry, Brother Nan. We've done this so many times, I naturally understand how to proceed!" Yang Anping said, patting his chest.
Yang An'nan nodded slightly and said no more. The Five Elements Sha Origin Art began to operate rapidly. Streams of slightly dark five-colored light emanated from his body, exuding Sha Qi aura that was captivating.
"Attack! Kill!"
After the two brothers had accumulated enough power, Yang An'nan suddenly roared, and the long sword in his hand transformed into a five-colored sword dragon that soared into the sky, dragging with it streams of light and rolling Sha Qi, and fiercely struck towards Tianyun Cave.
Yang Anping then unleashed the Divine Ability "Five-Element Sha Light," a unique ability inherent in the "Five Elements Sha Origin Art." This Divine Ability involves the endless Five Elements Rotation, making it extremely powerful in attack.
Five-colored light filled the sky, and a Five-Colored Rainbow Light landed on the Formation barrier that appeared Tianyun Cave in an instant, splashing out ripples.
Boom!!
The brothers' attacks arrived almost simultaneously. Their strength, far exceeding that of their peers after switching cultivation Cultivation Method, shattered the Protective Formation of Tianyun Cave immediately.
"Who?" A roar came from inside the cave, followed by a surge of powerful auras.
Without uttering a word, Yang An'nan and Yang Anping broke the Protective Formation and attacked again, killing one weaker Spirit Tribe cultivator after another on the spot. In just an instant, hundreds of the Spirit Tribe perished at their hands.
You deserve to die!
A burly man, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, standing five feet tall, carrying two giant millstone hammers, walked out of Tianyun Cave.
Seeing the tragic state of his people, he was enraged and, with a roar, swung his double hammers at them.
This is a powerful member of the Earth Spirit Tribe, possessing immense strength and outstanding defense; even Golden Core Perfection expert is no match for him.
However, this time the Earth Spirit Tribe's Golden Core cultivator encountered its nemesis. Yang An'nan smiled coldly, not using the Precious Sword in his hand, but instead taking out another Law Treasure.
This is a verdant willow branch, with a vibrant green aura swirling around it, giving it a lively appearance.
"Go!"
Yang An'nan tossed the willow branch lightly, and it flew out, transforming into a hundred-zhang-tall willow tree. Its branches hung down, forming a willow cage that trapped the Earth Spirit Tribe's Golden Core cultivator.
No matter how strong he was, he could do nothing against the extremely soft willow branch, and could only rage in vain.
After subduing the strongest Spirit Tribe, Yang An'nan looked at the battlefield where Yang Anping was located. The remaining Spirit Tribe experts, including the two-hundred-strong Cultivator Legion, were all besieging Yang Anping, clearly intending to concentrate their forces to kill one person.
However, these powerful members of the Spirit Tribe never expected that their formidable Commander would be trapped by Yang An'nan in such a short time, allowing the latter to free up his hands first.
Clang!!
The five-colored sword light swirled, as dazzling and beautiful as a peacock spreading its tail, yet filled with a breathtaking sharpness.
As the sword light fell, another Golden Core cultivator from the Spirit Tribe, caught off guard, was instantly cleaved in mid-air, his body split in two, dying and his soul annihilated on the spot.
This Spirit Tribe was only at the Early Golden Core realm, so he was no match for Yang An'nan.
"Oh no! The Commander is trapped!" The Spirit Tribe exclaimed in alarm, and immediately freed up half of their forces to rush towards Yang An'nan.
There were three Golden Core Cultivators and more than two hundred Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators.
However, the strongest among these Spirit Tribe was only at the Late Golden Core stage, and was no match for Yang An'nan.
Not long after, another Pill Spirit Clan member was killed.
"What's going on? Why do I always feel an inescapable fear when facing these two, as if I'm facing my natural enemy, and I can only use seventy or eighty percent of my strength?" A Golden Core cultivator from the Spirit Tribe was horrified and couldn't understand it at all.
"Could they be the Five Sha Fiends who once ran rampant near Mutong Lake?"
"It must be these two. It's said that their cultivation Cultivation Method are very effective against our Spirit Tribe. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems to be true!"
The powerful member of the Spirit Tribe quickly transmitted his voice, and upon learning of the two brothers' infamy, he felt even more desperate.
After a short while, Yang An'nan had slaughtered all the Spirit Tribe in front of him. He glanced at the Earth Spirit Golden Core Earth Spirit Tribe was still struggling wildly under the willow branches but could not move, sneered, and charged towards Yang Anping's location with a Sha Qi.
That willow branch was a rare Exotic Treasure he had commissioned at great expense to be crafted, specifically for targeting the Earth Spirit Tribe and the Water Spirit Clan.
The Earth Spirit Tribe, in particular, will be severely suppressed after being trapped by the willow branches. Coupled with the elemental advantage, they will be unable to break free for a short period of time.
"Kill!"
Yang An'nan charged in with his sword, joining forces with Yang Anping to rout the two Spirit Tribe soldiers, leaving them only able to defend.
But prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat, and Yang An'nan quickly seized the opportunity, breaking the Battle Formation with a single sword strike.
Without their Battle Formations to rely on, the Spirit Tribe army became lambs to the slaughter, and was quickly wiped out by the two brothers.
Now, only one Golden Core from the Earth Spirit Tribe remained on the battlefield. As a sitting duck, he didn't last long before perishing under Yang Anping's Five-Element Sha Light, his soul and spirit annihilated.
The battle lasted less than 15 minutes from start to finish.
Yang An'nan and Yang Anping skillfully cleaned up the battlefield, put all the spoils into their Storage Rings, and then used their Escape Techniques to Concealment their presence, quickly disappearing without a trace.
Not long after they left, a Flying Boat shaped like a bird descended upon Tianyun Cave.
Seeing the mess everywhere, the leading Spirit Tribe Patrol Envoys's face turned ashen, and he was seething with rage.
However, by this time, the two brothers had already fled hundreds of miles away, and with a treasure Concealment its aura, pursuing them was futile unless they sought the help of Heavenly Mechanist.
However, for the noble Heavenly Mechanist, battles at the Golden Core level are nothing more than children playing house, and they are not worthy of their attention.
Therefore, the matter was ultimately left unresolved.
In the months that followed, the two brothers targeted two other Spirit Tribe resource gathering sites located at least tens of thousands of miles from Tianyun Cave.
They succeeded and reaped a great reward.
Yang Anping wanted to continue, but Yang An'nan stopped him.
The latter understood the principle of knowing when to stop; the Spirit Tribe was, after all, a major race, and they couldn't be too arrogant.
Their purpose in coming here was simply to gather enough resources to break through to the Nascent Soul.
Now that the goal has been achieved, it is time to bring it to a successful conclusion.
Yang Anping had always been extremely trusting of Yang An'nan and listened to his every word. He quickly gave up the idea of continuing to plunder, and the two brothers returned to the Qiongqi Realm through the Realm Gate.
After selling the acquired resources in the Market, the two obtained a large sum of money. They then purchased two Nascent Soul Formation Pills and many Spirit Items from their Lineage before entering seclusion.
A year later, Yang An'nan became the first to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Three years later, Yang Anping made a breakthrough.
From then on, the two brothers' status in the Yang Household rose significantly, and Yang Anping, with Yang An'nan's help, obtained a decent position.
