Chapter 168: Invincible Will!

Battle intent shook the world, surging toward the high heavens. The palm-sized drum radiated brilliant light, like a star, illuminating the surrounding white expanse.

Bang! Bang! The illusory drum resounded like thunderclaps, the war tones of iron spears sweeping mightily between heaven and earth, enough to pierce stone and split metal.

The surrounding mountains and rivers trembled. The nearest boulder, weighing ten thousand jin, suddenly burst apart, dozens of stone chips flying, the void wailing as they shot toward the sky. This scene of chaotic stones piercing the clouds made some nearby War Kings click their tongues in awe.

Each manifestation was extremely difficult to condense, and unleashing its power required vast energy to drive it. Yang Tian's manifestation was enough to rival those of some War Kings.

"He has manifested one kind, but the second will be hard. Every manifestation has its pride, and it's difficult for two to coexist." Yuan Xia's eyes showed a hint of worry. In her understanding, the more manifestations one had, the harder the path ahead.

Li Ying's gaze was icy cold, devoid of any emotion. He looked down upon the earth, his fury growing, wanting to pierce straight through Yang Tian's chest and shatter him.

"Such strong battle intent! It seems Yang Tian has gained no small benefit." Qing Tao couldn't help clicking his tongue. This burst of battle intent was enough to suppress opponents of the same level.

"Heh, not only that... this kid's battle intent is surging." Xing Shan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, as if thinking of something terrible, and he murmured softly.

In an instant, Yang Tian opened his eyes. In the opening and closing of his gaze, a trace of world-shaking battle intent leaked out. His body was shrouded in thunderlight, his form hazy, his true body indistinct, but the aura he emitted was terrifying beyond measure.

In his dark pupils, lightning splashed, extremely alarming. Crimson light rolled around him, winding through the void. Wisps of battle qi leaked out, revealing a battle intent that shook the mortal world.

"Ha...!" Suddenly, Yang Tian let out a long roar to the sky, his black hair wildly dancing. His gaze was like lightning, his roar surging and howling forth. He roared out all his fervor, the anger suppressed in his chest for ten years, the battle intent erupting and wildly soaring. The surrounding large trees shook violently, leaves and branches falling in a flurry.

Many were startled. From this roar, they detected an unyielding will, a martial will of formidable strength. And this burst of battle intent shared the same essence as the war tones that had just resounded through heaven and earth!

"Leaving him alive is a disaster!" Gu Yun and Li Ying both harbored killing intent, a hint of fear in their hearts. Because they knew Yang Tian's growth was too terrifying—from Martial Arts Mountain to now, in less than a year, he had grown to this state.

The penetrating power of the roar was astonishing, shattering the surrounding boulders and raising a cloud of dust. At this moment, overwhelming battle intent radiated from within him. The iron-spear drumbeat suddenly accelerated, the thunder drum shaking the world, diving through the void, shaking the surrounding space.

Invincible battle intent swept mightily. Yang Tian's foot suddenly stamped the ground, cracking the earth. His entire skeleton chimed together, emitting a dull thunder.

Yang Tian's spine was like a flood dragon. Battle qi spewed from his whole body, surging like waves, as if striking the sky. His blood energy gushed like a rainbow, like a fountain of life, terrifyingly fierce. Crimson blood energy scattered through the void, his entire aura wildly soaring.

"This... this is... invincible... will!"

The old monsters were stunned, instantly dumbfounded. Some even turned to stone, staring at Yang Tian in disbelief—he had comprehended invincible will!

The whole assembly erupted in uproar. The old monsters who had comprehended the war tones were jolted awake, looking up at Yang Tian as he roared to the sky, their lips trembling, spittle flying as they discussed.

Li Ying's face instantly darkened. His ferocious gaze fixed on Yang Tian, a cold killing intent sweeping through the void, piercing the surrounding space.

"Gulp..." Someone swallowed. Some were dazed, unable to speak. Yang Tian, merely at the Tongxuan realm, had comprehended invincible will.

An invincible hero had not appeared for ten thousand years. Many trembled at these words. This was a path paved with bones, a road of advancing courageously, destined to be invincible at the same level!

But this kind of will was extremely prone to premature death. The world was filled with countless monstrous talents. If Yang Tian faltered, this invincible will would directly collapse, and he might never advance a single step in his life!

Yet once this will grew, it would become a presence that shook the ages! This was also an extremely rugged path, for this was a grand stage, with dazzling new stars terrifying and formidable, divine bodies with terrifying combat power.

"Is Yang Tian going to defy heaven?! What kind of path is he embarking on?"

"How could invincible will appear? I recall the last invincible hero in the Southern Divine Dynasty was slain by a young king from the Central Continent!"

"This will is too astonishing. They want to cut down invincible will to prove the martial path! If Yang Tian survives this journey, it will stir up a huge storm."

The older generation felt dry-mouthed. This was also a stepping stone!

Qing Tao and Xing Shan sighed, uncertain whether Yang Tian's fortune was good or bad. The current situation was already more than Yang Tian could handle, let alone the strong from other continents. A major power in the Central Continent—even the Qingyang Empire dared not provoke it.

Gu Yun and the others' faces darkened completely. They had already resolved to kill him. If invincible will grew, the juniors of their families would be suppressed and unable to hold their heads high.

This was a path paved with bones. The entire continent's warriors would come to challenge Yang Tian, and the Eastern Continent would once again stir with storms!

In the distance, the strong from the other two holy lands exchanged glances, quietly considering sending divine sons to nip Yang Tian in the bud. This will, if allowed to grow, was too terrifying, overpowering cultivators of the same level. They wanted to stifle this will while it was still dormant.

Moreover, Yang Tian's talent was astonishing. In less than two years, he had managed to kill Li Xuan, a man of decisive action. And this kid had strong luck, with people protecting him wherever he went.

"No, Yang Tian hasn't passed the lightning tribulation. His life or death is still uncertain!" Someone shouted. The heavenly punishment was too terrifying. From the torment Yang Tian had just endured, it didn't seem like an easy passage.

As he shouted, many eyes turned. But the scene before them made them gasp. Yang Tian's cultivation was climbing, climbing at a terrifying speed.

"Is this invincibility?" Yang Tian's gaze swept around. He sensed the momentum emanating from within, stirring heaven and earth, faintly wanting to shake the nine heavens, a feeling of wanting to rival heaven and earth.

Just as Yang Tian was pondering, the purple blood within him stirred, flowing into his body, radiating an aura that looked down upon the world.

Sensing the change in his body, Yang Tian's mind sank into his bloodline. Gazing at the purple blood, he pondered for a moment, then moved his mind slightly.

At this moment, the bloodline within Yang Tian moved with his mind. An indescribable pressure swirled in his heart, as if he had grasped control of heaven and earth.

Yang Tian was like a divine king, overlooking all living beings. In this small world, he controlled life and death.

"It seems I have only now gained the recognition of my family's bloodline." Seeing this, Yang Tian couldn't help but sigh. By comprehending invincible will, he had gained control of the bloodline ahead of time.

The bloodline required cultivation to reach the Tuotai realm to unleash a trace of its power. Entering Tuotai, truly shedding the mortal shell, the steps of cultivation could be considered to have begun.

Looking at the surrounding sea of lightning, Yang Tian sat cross-legged, driving the pressure within his bloodline to suppress the surrounding lightning tribulation.

This extremely faint bloodline seemed highly spiritual. It directly burst out of his body, turning into a small purple dragon, roaming through the sea of lightning, untouched by any lightning, astonishing the world.
