Wilderness Cliff.
The Wilderness Cliff are a barren region deep in the Western Wilderness Region. Due to its unique terrain, this region is divided into two levels, with the higher level in the west and the lower level in the east. The cliffs stretch for thousands of miles and seem to have no end in sight.
The word "Ya" in "Huang Ya" is derived from this.
At this moment, on a high, steep rock at the edge of a precipice, a young man in black robes sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing rhythmic. The energy of heaven and earth flowed into his body with each breath, and after being refined, it became a part of him.
After a long while, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes. A flash of lightning-like light swept across the depths of his dark eyes as he stared straight ahead towards the east.
In six months, it will be the day he agreed upon with the Four Great Sects. At that time, the grudges between him and the Four Great Sects will also be settled.
"I wonder how Luo Jin is doing now. He's also training in the Western Region, but I haven't heard anything about him. I wonder if he'll come when the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb opens?"
When the Four Great Sects were mentioned, Xiao Yan naturally thought of Luo Jin. That guy had faced the Four Great Sects with him back then. If the latter wasn't there when meeting the Four Great Sects again, Xiao Yan would feel that something was missing.
With his current strength, he is no longer afraid of the sect leaders of the Four Great Sects, except for Ye Luotian.
Even he couldn't see through the latter's strength, and Ye Luotian's strange methods were truly troublesome. Among the four, he was the one who hid his abilities the most.
Even so, if Luo Jin is not there, even if he can deal with the Four Great Sects by himself, he will still feel it is meaningless. On the contrary, if Luo Jin is there, the two of them can work together to settle all the old grudges.
As for the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb, this Wilderness Cliff place is precisely the entrance to the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb. Now that there are still half a year until the agreed time, and he happens to be bored and has nothing to do, Xiao Yan has made a plan in mind.
Just as he had come to the Western Wilderness Region with the original purpose, he wondered if he could open the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb with the Heavenly Severing Steps alone.
Whether it succeeds or not, we'll find out soon enough.
Without hesitation, Xiao Yan leaped off the cliff.
The wind whistled past Xiao Yan's ears, and the distance of a hundred feet was covered in the blink of an eye, and he was already on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan turned around and looked behind him at the row of straight cliffs that stood like walls.
The endless cliffs stretch for thousands of miles, and the steep slopes are impossible to climb. The jagged rocks and the sky filled with yellow sand make it impossible to feel any life in the world. The desolation here is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. What is even more unimaginable is that such a great opportunity exists in this barren land.
Standing where Xiao Yan is now, one can clearly see that between the cliff and the land beneath his feet, there is a huge chasm as deep as an abyss, with rocks falling and not even making a sound when they hit the ground.
Xiao Yan ignored this completely, raising his gaze to look directly at the opposite cliff. There, there was a small, strange rock protruding from the precipice, less than a meter long and several meters wide, resembling the entrance to some kind of gate, except that the so-called entrance to the gate could not be seen.
This was the result of Xiao Yan's search over several days.
Once you arrive here, the world looks the same. There are no extra signs between the cliffs on both sides. Even if someone who knows this place well came here, let alone someone who has never been here before, they might not be able to find their way.
With a swift movement, Xiao Yan arrived in front of the protruding, strange rock. A sense of caution arose in his heart, and then he gently placed his foot on the rock.
"Buzz!"
The moment Xiao Yan landed on the strange rock, the cliff face in front of him suddenly flashed with light and trembled. At the same time, Xiao Yan was startled and his expression changed. He Heavenly Severing Steps Annihilation Step and retreated rapidly.
After all, it was a cave dwelling left behind by the Origin Transformation Realm expert. Although it had been nearly a thousand years, Xiao Yan still dared not be careless.
Just as Xiao Yan unleashed the Heavenly Absolute Step, the cliff above the strange rock suddenly trembled violently, and a thunderous roar shook the heavens and earth. Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, but a smile appeared on his lips. The gate to the Heavenly Absolute Ancient Tomb had finally opened.
The stone gate opened, and the once intact cliff face split apart, disappearing into the depths of the precipice. Then, an energy light screen, almost tangible, appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes.
"This is... the entrance to the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb!"
Xiao Yan's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but be moved. He had heard about the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb since the Southern Region and had long wanted to see it for himself. Now that he had seen it, he was naturally excited.
However, although the entrance had appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes, the first thing he had to do to enter the ancient tomb was to break through the light barrier.
Shortly after the light screen rose, Xiao Yan clearly saw that the originally powerful light screen was now flickering slightly, and its power had diminished considerably.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan knew without a doubt that it couldn't be due to the erosion of Suiyue. The reason why the power on the light screen had weakened was probably because he had used the Heavenly Severing Steps. As for the remaining power, it would probably require the other two Dou Technique of the Venerable Heavenly Severing to dispel it.
"While both the Heavenly Severing Palm and the Heavenly Severing Finger are ranked as Human Class Dou Technique Dou Technique, given that the Heavenly Severing Steps can provide such an astonishing boost, the other two are probably not much less powerful. We'll have to be careful when facing Chen Zhen and Wu Jitian."
A thought flashed through his mind, and then Xiao Yan looked back at the light screen in front of him.
We'll see what happens later, but right now, Xiao Yan can't help but want to try. With his own strength, could he possibly shatter this light barrier? Even just a tiny crack would be enough for Xiao Yan to do a lot.
Thinking it and doing it, Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly as he raised his Dou Qi. Powerful energy rapidly condensed in his palms. Then, he changed his footwork and his figure instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning. In a flash, he appeared in front of the light screen, clenched his fists, and swung them fiercely at the light screen in front of him.
"Drink!"
With a roar, a powerful force erupted from Xiao Yan's fists, slamming into the light barrier.
"Buzzing..."
However, the final result left Xiao Yan somewhat dumbfounded.
Such immense power would be too much for even a Seven-Star Dou Di to easily contend with. Yet, even so, after striking the light barrier, it didn't even cause a ripple. Instead, the surrounding void was instantly shattered by this terrifying power.
"This..."
Startled, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and his Dou Qi surged again. This time, he also unleashed his fully mastered Strength Elephant Art.
" Strength Elephant Art, break it for me!"
"Clang!"
The powerful impact slammed into the light screen. Even though it wasn't Xiao Yan's full strength, it was enough to make an Eight-Star Dou Di take it seriously. However, the final result was still unsatisfactory.
Compared to the last time, this time, a faint energy ripple appeared on the light screen, but it disappeared in an instant. Then, just as Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and was about to make another move, a powerful force came from his fist without warning, and with just one strike, he was blasted away.
