Ahead, a terrifying force erupted, like a compressed bomb! The ground shook violently, dust rose everywhere, startling countless birds into flight, and the powerful shockwave hurled Ye Tianyi and the other two more than ten meters away.
"Cough, cough—"
Ye Tianyi coughed and opened his eyes.
His entire body was sprawled over Xing Baobao. When he had fallen, he had instinctively protected her, so Xing Baobao was completely unharmed. She was currently staring blankly at Ye Tianyi.
"Cough, cough—what are you looking at?"
"Tianyi Gege, are you okay?"
Xing Baobao hurriedly helped Ye Tianyi up, worry written all over her face.
"I'm fine. Just a minor injury."
At this moment, Yang Chusheng beside them also stood up.
"Thank you."
Yang Chusheng clasped his fist toward Ye Tianyi.
"It's nothing."
"What was that just now?"
He was astonished. What could directly blow a Profound Heaven Realm expert to death?
"Just a spirit artifact. It's a pity the Purple-Gold Silver Flower must be gone too."
Ye Tianyi sighed.
[Earth Burst Heavenly Sun]: A spirit artifact of immense power. After exploding, it can instantly reduce a Profound Heaven Realm expert to nothingness. Swagger Value consumed: 2000000. Can be exchanged twice in a lifetime.
That was right. Ye Tianyi had directly spent two million Swagger Value to exchange for the Earth Burst Heavenly Sun from the shop. This system had truly saved his life.
"I came here for training in the first place. I never expected something like this to happen. There's no need to keep searching for the Purple-Gold Silver Flower. Let's head back."
Yang Chusheng spoke to Ye Tianyi.
"There is. I need it."
Ye Tianyi looked into the distance, then at Xing Baobao beside him, before turning to Yang Chusheng. "Brother Yang, I'll continue looking for the Purple-Gold Silver Flower. Take her back with you. You can look after each other."
"Tianyi Gege, then you..."
"I still have to search."
"I'll go with you."
"You're going back. Be good!"
"No!"
"Do you want to make me angry?"
Ye Tianyi frowned.
"I..."
"Don't worry. Don't forget that Shang Yu was killed by me." Ye Tianyi chuckled.
Ye Tianyi truly thought Yang Chusheng was a good person. He felt quite at ease with him; he seemed like someone worth being brothers with. And although Xing Baobao was one realm below him, he might not actually be able to defeat her.
Yang Chusheng glanced at Ye Tianyi. "I have no problem with that, but you must be extremely careful. Give me your contact information. When we get back, I'll treat you to drinks and a meal. I owe you my life."
Ye Tianyi smiled and added him on WeChat.
"Go on!"
Ye Tianyi waved at Xing Baobao.
"Tianyi Gege, you have to be careful."
Xing Baobao looked back every three steps.
"Don't worry. Remember to follow the path we came from."
The two of them quickly vanished from Ye Tianyi's sight.
Then Ye Tianyi sighed and continued onward.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
"Fire God Tribulation!"
Flames coiled around Ye Tianyi's hands as he swiftly formed a series of seals. The next moment, fiery barriers covered in special Heaven and Earth Talismans appeared around the Demon Beast before him, surrounding it from all directions.
"Close!"
Boom—
The fiery barriers closed in, trapping the Demon Beast inside before exploding outright. When the flames dispersed, the Demon Beast had already turned to dust.
This was the terrifying power of an Earth Rank Martial Skill! More importantly, the Demon Beast was not particularly strong—only Body Refining Realm Stage Four.
Over those three hours, Ye Tianyi encountered quite a few Demon Beasts. Most did not wish to cause trouble. When they saw Ye Tianyi, he would take a detour, and so would they. But some necessary battles still had to be fought.
"I can't go any deeper."
Ye Tianyi looked ahead. If he went farther in, he would probably encounter Demon Beasts he could not handle.
Yet at that moment, the entire forest began to tremble violently as though an earthquake had struck. At first, Ye Tianyi thought some enormous Demon Beast was running about. A Demon Beast dozens or even hundreds of meters tall could cause such a scene. But when he raised his head, he saw a meteor tearing through the sky in the distant horizon ahead, plummeting downward at high speed! That meteor was what had caused the ground to shake!
The meteor was still flying through the air, yet it was already making the ground tremble. Ye Tianyi could think of only one explanation: it was not a meteor. The terrifying spiritual power surrounding that "meteor" was what had caused this phenomenon!
Boom—
The next moment, Ye Tianyi, standing on the ground, jolted violently. He quickly climbed up a towering tree and looked into the distance.
Far away, an appalling visual impact like an Atomic Bomb explosion erupted. An unstoppable wave of flaming force devoured everything ahead! In an instant, the forest within a radius of over ten thousand meters at that spot had been cleared into a circle.
Ye Tianyi's pupils contracted!
"What the hell is that thing?!"
He wanted to turn and leave. He felt that it was not something good, and it might even be dangerous. But that damned curiosity made him want to go forward instead.
Ahead, who knew how many Demon Beasts were fleeing in a frenzy. Of course, many of them could sense Ye Tianyi in the tree, but they could not be bothered with him. Some Demon Beasts even ran until they fell over.
Whether to go?
"Damn it! Let's take a look!"
Ye Tianyi lit a cigarette with a snap, took a deep drag, then jumped down from the tree and headed forward.
Xing Baobao sent Ye Tianyi a message every so often to make sure he was alright.
When Ye Tianyi arrived, he could not help opening his mouth wide.
It had originally been a forest, but ahead of him, everything within sight had been razed flat. Farther in the center was a massive crater, likely nearly several hundred meters deep. Smoke rose from the soil across the entire ground, and some of it was hot enough to scorch his feet.
"Strange. Why are these Demon Beasts running? There's no dangerous aura, and no powerful expert around. Were they simply scared away?"
With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Ye Tianyi walked forward.
Ye Tianyi reached the edge of the crater and looked down.
There was something in the middle...
Blue...
Wait! Blue clothes...
That was a person!
