Chapter 270: The Curtain Falls

Divine bodies, according to legend, were descendants of deities. Some ancient texts recorded that deities were the supreme human sages of the ancient times, or terrifying beings. Many secrets of antiquity were obscure, with no detailed explanations.

The ancient upheaval of heaven and earth had buried many truths. Even the strongest on the continent knew little; even Yang Xiao, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, was not clear on the origin of divine bodies.

Although divine bodies had always been a mystery, they were extraordinarily terrifying! They could suppress cultivators of the same rank, leaving them no chance to fight. Every time a divine body emerged, it meant the Dan Valley would flourish.

And according to what Yang Xiao had once mentioned, the ancient Yang family once possessed a supreme treasure that rivaled the Ancestral Dragon Ring, but its whereabouts were now lost. That treasure was the most important thing for activating the constitution.

Chi! Divine light blazed, sweeping up in a overwhelming tide. The sky was nearly melted. Dan Xiaoxiao bathed in endless flames, like a little divine phoenix, both cute and majestic, her aura terrifyingly formidable.

"A divine body is indeed extraordinary!" Yang Tian's gaze swept over Tian Xin's face. Noticing his pallid complexion, Yang Tian couldn't help but curl his lips and silently praise.

"The Dan Valley is about to flourish!" The various powerhouses discussed. With a terrifying divine body emerging, the Dan Valley's status became even more unshakable.

Although Dan Xiaoxiao's cultivation had not reached War King, even some of the older generation felt their hearts tremble, oppressed by this divine power, unable to exert their full combat strength.

"Old man Dan, why are you so underhanded? Xiaoxiao is a divine body, and I, her uncle, didn't know. You're too shameless..." The white-haired man looked indignant, even cursing.

But the joy in his eyes could no longer be concealed, showing on his face. The emergence of another divine body in the Dan Valley had not happened in ten thousand years.

Dan Zong was speechless, curling his lips and saying, "The fewer outsiders know about such things, the better. Today's exposure was unavoidable."

"True. Now the outside world is full of rumors about demons emerging. Those beasts are searching the continent for people with rich bloodlines, and divine bodies are especially attractive to them." The white-haired man nodded, a hint of worry appearing in his eyes.

Tian Xin's defeat provoked curses from below. His venomous gaze fixed on the girl ahead, but he felt powerless. Looking at the pill in his palm, his face twisted with ferocity.

A problem had occurred in the last stage, causing much of the medicinal power to be lost, making it only slightly better than a fourth-grade mid-level pill.

At this moment, the vast majority of people in the arena focused their eyes on Dan Xiaoxiao. Before her was a blue, crystalline pill, radiating divine brilliance and surrounded by auspicious vapors.

The medicinal power it contained was extremely terrifying, making many alchemists around feel deeply ashamed. They could not bring themselves to feel jealous of this girl, who was one or two years younger than them.

Bang! Then, a thunderous sound spread throughout the arena.

In this area of dazzling divine light, endless divine radiance spewed forth, shooting out towering divine flames. The roaring inside nearly burst the eardrums of some of the younger generation.

Thunder surged, overwhelming and suppressing the sky. A destructive aura seeped out, distorting the momentum of the two figures.

"The origin of thunder is indeed powerful, able to suppress two different phenomena. If it grows, it's unimaginable." Dan Lao sighed: "Where did that kid get this?..."

"What a formidable figure! Just his momentum can suppress two people!"

"His thunder is even more terrifying, emitting an aura that could destroy heaven and earth. It's unbelievable."

"Yes, both of them have activated rare phenomena. It's incredible."

Dan Chen and the other were suppressed. Someone cried out in surprise. Both were youthful kings, their phenomena terrifying. The other's golden divine flames burned heaven and earth, domineering and unparalleled, yet now they were suppressed by this miracle-creating youth.

"Dan Qu was right. This guy is indeed hard to deal with!" Shangguan Hao licked his dry lips. This consumption was very great for him.

At this moment, Shangguan Hao and Dan Chen exchanged a glance, then both nodded. They joined forces, unleashing terrifying power, their world-shaking phenomena surging toward the boundless sea of thunder.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from the sea of thunder. Endless divine light shot into the sky. Thunder was like an ocean. The two terrifying phenomena nearly pierced the sky.

Rumbling! Explosions sounded from within, a horrifying scene. A huge whirlpool appeared in the center of the thunder sea, like dark clouds covering the sun, extremely frightening.

Both absolute figures exerted their strength, unleashing their foundations. Wind and thunder-like sounds came from the void, and the momentum was fierce. This was a different kind of duel.

Bang! As time passed, under everyone's gaze, the boundless thunder gradually showed cracks, as if about to burst.

"Is it about to break through? The combined force of two peerless figures is indeed extraordinary." Someone noticed the details and immediately shouted.

"Failure? I don't think so." Yang Ba shook his head slightly, knowing Yang Tian's strength well. He estimated that if Yang Tian manifested his Chaos Divine Image, it would scare some people to death...

Seeing this, the two breathed a sigh of relief. But before smiles could rise on their faces, they slowly froze, their annoyed gazes converging on the void.

"Roar!..." An extremely abrupt dragon roar exploded. From Yang Tian's back, boundless divine light surged, and surging blood energy howled out. Within the terrifying river of blood, a phantom dragon shadow appeared, a hundred zhang in size, dancing menacingly in the void.

Crimson clouds surged, piercing through the clouds. Terrifying essence energy danced heavily, striking the sky like a vast ocean. The sky trembled violently. The phantom dragon shadow spewed divine flames, about to surge toward the boundless sea of thunder.

"Such terrifying blood energy! Who is this figure!"

"Overwhelming two major figures, yet his internal blood energy is still so abundant. Unbelievable!"

The people around were going crazy. Although the Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens was slightly inferior to the Sun, Moon, Mountains, and Rivers, its momentum was in no way weaker than the phenomena of those two, and it was terrifyingly formidable.

Under the stunned gazes of those around, the two figures comically withdrew their phenomena in an instant. This thankless task was indeed something they didn't want to do. Moreover, they were about to enter the secret realm, so they couldn't afford to hurt their foundations now.

"This..." Looking at the two smiling faces, Yang Tian scratched his head, full of black lines.

"Let's have a real fight when we have time. Your dan fire is truly formidable. Let's stop here for today." Dan Chen spread his small hands, a bit cheekily, but the fighting spirit in his eyes did not diminish.

"It seems Dan Qu was right. I'm indeed no match for you." Shangguan Hao nodded and said with a faint smile, "But I'll definitely have to fight you another time, or I won't be convinced."

"Hehe, as you wish. When there's time." Yang Tian smiled. He admired the magnanimity of the two. Perhaps the main reason was the appearance of Tian Xin...

The alchemy competition was about to end. Dan Zong's figure appeared in the arena, collecting all the pills from the participants. The outcome of the competition was soon to be decided.

"I didn't expect him to be this powerful now." Meng Hao sighed, feeling a sense of defeat. Initially, he and Yang Tian were on par, but now the gap was so large.

Beside him, the middle-aged man widened his eyes like copper bells, looking at Dan Qu and saying, "What's his background? His strength can't be just this, right?"

"How would I know?..." Dan Qu muttered. Dan Wenshan, the middle-aged man who had just acted, wielded a terrifying golden great bow. His strength was extremely formidable, though he had never truly fought. As the clan leader of the Dan family in the Central Region, he had once shot dead a great demon with a single arrow.
