Chapter 351: A Terrifying Showdown!

"Chirp chirp!" Xiao Qing flapped his wings, letting out joyful sounds. He looked into the eyes of the Golden-Winged Roc King, and a surge of familiarity welled up within him.

Their eyes met. Memories awakened in Xiao Qing's mind. Before he was even born, he had once conversed with the Golden-Winged Roc King, and he was extremely familiar with the Roc King's aura.

Every divine beast is born with great difficulty. The nurturing period alone takes a thousand years, or even longer. Such a long span of time is astonishing; nearly an entire era passes for the human race.

The origins of divine beasts are terrifyingly formidable. They are all proud and unyielding beings. Their ancestors, in the ancient years, once slaughtered the strongest of humanity! Every young Roc, upon awakening the energy within, possesses invincible combat power at the same level. Truly terrifying.

"Whoosh..." Xiao Qing spread his wings. He was incredibly fast, appearing around the Golden-Winged Roc King, soaring and circling like an excited child.

"Good, good!" The Golden-Winged Roc King looked at the young Roc flying before him, a hint of excitement in his eyes, almost shedding tears of old.

In the past, he had visited many terrifying places, even climbing divine mountains and forbidden lands, hoping to pick peerless divine herbs to prolong the young Roc's life. But all in vain. The young Roc had been too severely injured, nearly on the verge of death.

Some time ago, that human supreme being had healed the young Roc right before his eyes. The Roc King was overcome with mixed emotions; he thought he would never see him again in this life. Unexpectedly, in the time it took him to nap, his child had reappeared and awakened at an astonishing speed.

"Chirp chirp..." Xiao Qing flew and soared, flapping his large wings interwoven with patterns, his golden eyes brimming with excitement.

"Hahaha..." The Golden-Furred War Ape let out a long roar. Divine sound shook the heavens, the earth trembled. He somersaulted through the air several times, revealing his inner excitement.

At that moment, the Golden-Winged Roc King's gaze fell on Yang Tian. He was silent for a while, his expression unpleasant, his eyes struggling.

Although no contract had been made in the past, the human supreme being had suppressed him with just a wisp of remnant soul. He dared not make a move against Yang Tian. Provoking the White-Robed Supreme would bring him no good.

"Are you willing to follow him?" After a moment of silence, the Golden-Winged Roc King's gentle eyes swept over the young Roc. He sighed and spoke slowly.

"Chirp chirp..." Hearing this, Xiao Qing nodded his head. Since his birth, he had seen Yang Tian, and there were also Xiao Bai and the little divine herb. This bond was naturally hard to give up.

Seeing this, joy appeared in Yang Tian's eyes. He thought to himself that he hadn't doted on Xiao Qing in vain. The fact that the Golden-Winged Roc King could say such words showed that the deterrent power of his ancestor still existed.

Suppressing the Golden-Winged Roc King with just a wisp of remnant soul—Yang Tian was also amazed. His heart surged with emotion. He was determined to become a figure like his ancestor, to terrify fearsome beings, sweep across the six directions and eight wastelands, unparalleled through the ages.

Hearing this thought, the Golden-Winged Roc King's face darkened. He said indignantly, "Are you willing to follow me, or him?"

"Chirp chirp..." It was an extremely difficult choice. Xiao Qing nodded and shook his head alternately, unwilling to leave either of them, hoping neither would leave him.

Sensing Xiao Qing's demeanor, the Golden-Winged Roc King felt a bitterness in his heart and was secretly annoyed. But then he felt somewhat relieved. If not for Yang Tian's ancestor, Xiao Qing would have had little time left.

"Boy, I don't care whose descendant you are, but it has been too long since anyone has made our Roc clan follow them!" The Golden-Winged Roc King's golden eyes swept over Yang Tian, his voice deep.

Their ancestors had also followed powerful figures, but this was the first time with a human. He was naturally not fond of these physically weak humans, and the human race's power was declining day by day, with supreme experts nearly gone.

Hearing this, Yang Tian remained silent. Such a terrifying expert, if provoked, would directly slap him down. Let alone threatening him with an ancestor—a fearsome divine beast would never submit to oppression.

"To make our Roc clan follow you is simple." At this moment, the Golden-Winged Roc King smiled, pointing at the Golden-Furred War Ape, and said, "You just need to defeat him..."

At the light laughter, Yang Tian's face instantly darkened, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. Looking at the terrifying creature before him, his face turned completely black. Not to mention defeating him, even surviving one move would mean Yang Tian wouldn't need to endure endless pursuit.

"Senior, you must be joking, right?" Yang Tian couldn't help but speak, forcing a smile.

"Haha..." The Golden-haired Battle Ape turned several somersaults, roaring repeatedly in the void. Several nearby mountains were shattered by his roars, his might overwhelming and terrifying to the core.

Seeing this, Yang Tian's face darkened further. Even that single roar was beyond his ability to withstand; even a War Emperor would be shattered by the Golden-haired Battle Ape.

Yang Ba smacked his lips, his face also dark. That roar just now was indeed terrifyingly powerful; even he could not endure it, let alone Yang Tian.

"Your cultivation should not have broken through to War King. My sworn brother's cultivation will be suppressed to the same level as yours. If you lose... hmph!" At this moment, the Golden-winged Roc suddenly snorted coldly.

"That's more like it." Hearing this, Yang Tian breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes swept over the Golden-haired Battle Ape, a hint of anticipation for the upcoming battle in his heart.

The Golden-haired Battle Ape was a divine beast comparable to a mythical beast, with immense strength and almost inexhaustible divine power. In ancient times, there were records of it slaying human cultivators with great supernatural powers!

At the same level, few could contend with him. Yang Tian naturally looked forward to this battle. If he could defeat him, his combat power would approach that of a minor divine beast!

"Fun... fun..." The Golden-haired Battle Ape laughed heartily, brandishing the huge iron staff in his hand, causing explosions all around. He had taken an interest in Yang Tian as soon as he arrived, for this fellow's physical body was extremely powerful.

"Little one, if you can defeat me, I'll swear brotherhood with you." At this moment, the Golden-haired Battle Ape's emanating blood energy converged, and his entire body shrank slightly.

"Swear brotherhood? I wouldn't dare." Yang Tian shrank his head and muttered inwardly. Now, staring at the Golden-haired Battle Ape's body, a strong battle intent appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, the Golden-haired Battle Ape sat cross-legged, his eyes tightly shut. Under Yang Tian's puzzled gaze, a body similar to his own emerged above the Golden-haired Battle Ape's head.

"This is the art of分身术, a divine technique inherited by this monkey." Yang Xiao spoke, showing great understanding of the Golden-haired Battle Ape.

"Chirp chirp..." Xiaoqing circled in the void, chirping excitedly, as if acting as a referee.

That emerging body was also formidable, containing terrifying fluctuations within. It held a golden iron staff, its blood energy surging like a vast ocean, resembling a golden war god, its might astonishing.

Boom! The Golden-haired Battle Ape, extremely fond of fighting, struck instantly. The huge iron staff swept across the sky, instantly unleashing countless staff shadows that smashed toward Yang Tian's face.

Seeing this, Yang Tian took a deep breath, his body instantly tensing. He watched the rapidly rushing staff shadows, the airwaves they carried causing the void to crack.

Boom! Yang Tian's foot stomped heavily, causing the earth to rumble and explode, cracking open with large fissures, and trees toppling over.

Within Yang Tian's body, the sounds of the Great Dao resounded incessantly, interweaving vigorous essence. His entire body's blood energy surged, each drop of blood enshrining a deity.

Boom! Boom! Yang Tian threw punches, like an indestructible iron spear. With each punch, crimson light and starlight burst forth, his fist force shaking the sky, the void exploding, instantly tearing apart the layers of staff shadows.

"Not bad." Seeing this, a hint of amusement appeared in the Golden-haired Battle Ape's eyes. He let out a loud cry, his body charging forward, and a myriad of staff shadows descended overwhelmingly, like a heavenly net.

"Open!" Yang Tian shouted, his arms spreading wide, unleashing a tremendous force of a million jin, breaking through the layers of staff shadows. A surge of immense power erupted, striking toward the Golden-haired Battle Ape's avatar.

"Good!" The Golden-haired Battle Ape laughed, his voice resounding like demonic tones. At this moment, his divine power was astonishing. A dazzling golden light pierced heaven and earth, and his entire aura surged several levels.

Within the Golden-haired Battle Ape's body, sounds of surging waves echoed. His aura was oppressive, wielding the golden iron staff in a sweeping motion, producing a continuous whistling sound.

This strike was extremely powerful. The golden blood energy interwoven by the iron staff spread far, and a nearby small hill was instantly crushed, shaking the soul.
