Chapter 357: The Yang Clan's Supreme Treasure!

Sensing the change in Qing Yuan's expression, Yang Tian's hand clenched slightly. His expression shifted, and he frowned, a bad premonition rising in his heart as he recalled the instructions Qing Yuan had given him when they last parted.

"What happened? Speak quickly!" Taking a deep breath, Yang Tian forced himself to calm down and barked.

Hearing this, Qing Yuan gritted his teeth. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "The Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Li family have joined forces and taken your foster father away!"

"What?!" Yang Tian's eyes suddenly blazed, terrifying divine light bursting forth. His blood energy surged, rumbling like thunder, and the overwhelming divine light rushed in all directions, forcing the two men back several steps.

"Crack..." The ground split, fissures spreading. The two men's blood energy rippled as they were pushed back seven or eight zhang before finally stopping.

"Such terrifying blood energy, vigorous as a dragon!" Shangguan Hao exclaimed, a hint of fear in his eyes. He was a gifted figure in the Central Province, but in terms of physical strength, he was far inferior to Yang Tian.

Qing Yuan was also astonished. In just one short year, Yang Tian had progressed rapidly, reaching a terrifying level of strength. Even ordinary War Kings were unqualified to fight him.

"The Li family! The Heavenly Dao Alliance!" Yang Tian clenched his fists, his arms trembling slightly. The sound of the Great Dao emanated from within him, causing the surrounding void to tremble as if it were about to crack.

Yang Ba walked over, sighed, and patted Yang Tian on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

They had captured Lin Yuan solely to force Yang Tian to show himself, setting up a net that would trap him if he came.

"The Li family has set up a battle platform in Tianmo City, demanding you fight Li Qingshuang!" Qing Yuan said, his face full of guilt. With the Heavenly Dao Alliance's involvement, the big shots of the Qingyang Empire dared not interfere, lest they invite disaster.

"What a venomous scheme!" Hearing this, Yang Ba's face darkened instantly, and a terrifying aura spread. Rage boiled within him as he recalled the once lovely and innocent girl who used to follow him and Yang Tian around when they were children.

No matter whether Yang Tian won or lost, going there would be a dangerous path, extremely treacherous. If he refused the challenge, his martial will might be shattered.

"The Li family is baiting the hook. If you go, you might... It's all my fault." Qing Yuan blamed himself, his face full of guilt, looking as if he wanted to say more but held back.

"It's not your fault. The Heavenly Dao Alliance's involvement is indeed unexpected." Yang Tian waved his hand and said slowly, the coldness on his face vanishing. He became even more certain that the Heavenly Dao Alliance was a force of the demon race.

Offending a Tianxin had caused the Heavenly Dao Alliance to make such a big fuss—this was completely unreasonable. The only explanation was that Yang Tian possessed something that attracted them.

"Yang Tian, that human supreme from the Danhuo Domain, you..." Shangguan Hao walked over, looked at Yang Tian for a moment, and murmured.

If Yang Tian could find that human supreme, the Li family would probably be scared out of their wits, and even the Heavenly Dao Alliance might back off. That white-robed supreme was too terrifying; even now, recalling him made Shangguan Hao tremble.

Hearing this, Yang Tian smiled bitterly. In the Danhuo Domain, the ancestor had refused to acknowledge him, indicating that Yang Tian had to walk his own path. He harbored an invincible will and was determined to carve a blood-soaked road.

Moreover, if he revealed the ancestor's identity, Yang Tian would likely face endless assassinations. The demon race would not allow him to grow.

"Li Qingshuang has received a传承 and her cultivation is about to step into the War Emperor realm. She was already talented, and now she's even harder to deal with." Qing Yuan tried to dissuade him, not wanting Yang Tian to take the risk.

"Even if she's a War Emperor, I'll still cut her down!" Hearing this, a cold look appeared on Yang Tian's face as he barked.

His foster father had treated him like his own son. For that alone, Yang Tian would go to the Li family without hesitation.

His immense confidence stemmed first from the terror of the Dao Scripture, which allowed his physical body to rival divine beasts, and second from his cultivation, which was about to break into the War King realm. The War Heaven Decision was no pushover!

It was a cultivation method that led directly to a great divine ability. Once he broke into the War King realm, his strength would soar. With his many trump cards, he might yet be able to fight Li Qingshuang.

Sensing Yang Tian's unshakable conviction, the two exchanged glances and did not argue. They had already witnessed Yang Tian's ferocity; with his physical strength alone, even an ordinary War King would be torn to shreds!

At that moment, Yang Tian's figure appeared in the Ancestral Dragon Ring. Looking at the smiling Yang Xiao, he quickly asked, "Uncle Xiao, what should we do? Is there any way to rescue my foster father?"

"We don't know the situation yet. But since the Li family has torn off all pretense, that old monster from before will definitely make a move." Yang Xiao touched his nose and said with a faint smile.

"Emperor realm!" Yang Tian gritted his teeth, his brows tightly furrowed. Yang Xiao could only contend with half-step Emperor realm cultivators for now, but an Emperor realm opponent would be troublesome. Without a physical body, he couldn't fight for long.

"Heh, don't worry. It's time to retrieve the Yang clan's supreme treasure!" Seeing Yang Tian's worried expression, Yang Xiao shook his head slightly, though a hint of relief showed in his eyes.

A strong person must always protect something and pursue something. No one is a saint; everyone has desires. On the path of martial arts, one must protect those around them from harm.

"The Yang clan's supreme treasure? What treasure?!" Hearing this, a glimmer of light appeared in Yang Tian's eyes as he quickly asked. For Yang Xiao to call it a supreme treasure, it was no ordinary item.

"Remember the Mountain River Cauldron and the Mountain River Scroll I told you about before?" Yang Xiao licked his lips and said with a smile.

"A divine object!" Seeing the joy in Yang Xiao's eyes, Yang Tian was startled and exclaimed.

"Yes, in the past, our Yang clan's supreme treasure, the Mountain River Cauldron, was inside the Fallen Demon Land." Yang Xiao nodded and said slowly, "That divine object is one with formidable offensive power."

Pausing, Yang Tian's face was full of joy, but then he frowned and asked, "Uncle Xiao, if we take it out, will the Fallen Demon Land fall into chaos?"

If it was a sealing object, removing it would allow the demons in the Fallen Demon Land to break free, causing countless casualties in the Eastern Continent and billions of human corpses. Such a sin would be unbearable for Yang Tian and might even trigger a terrible heavenly punishment.

"The old clan leader instructed before he left that the divine object inside should be taken for self-defense. As for the specifics, the old clan leader didn't explain." Yang Xiao shook his head slightly and said indifferently.

"The Dragon God Soul-Suppressing Jade in your sea of consciousness was also renowned in ancient times. It can soon be bound to you! But its artifact spirit seems to have been severely damaged."

"Two divine objects!" Yang Tian clenched his fist and said joyfully, "Uncle Xiao, with the Mountain River Cauldron, can you contend with an Emperor Lord?"

"Hmm, probably. But the Emperor realm has different levels. That figure from the Li family is only at the quasi-Emperor level. The Emperor realm is divided into three levels: quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor, and Emperor Lord. It's not like your current nine-level classification!"

"And if the Heavenly Dao Alliance is connected to the demon race, it won't be so easy." Yang Xiao sighed. This journey was extremely dangerous and could lead to great upheaval.

"The gap between each level is enormous. That's why you see such a big difference between the Undying realm and that Undying realm true demon from the Danhuo Domain." Yang Xiao pursed his lips and said slowly. He didn't fully understand the Undying realm classification either; in the past, he had only touched the threshold.

"So that Long Yang was probably a quasi-Emperor, yet he dared to call himself Emperor Lord." Yang Tian sneered, recalling that Yang Xiao had once said that in ancient times, he could kill Long Yang with a single finger.

"Right now, you need to accumulate, and keep accumulating. In the future, when you step into that level, terrifying beings will challenge you. Never be greedy for quick success. The potential of the Dao Scripture is limitless. If your invincible will is crushed, your cultivation will plummet."

Yang Tian nodded. After thinking for a moment, his figure appeared outside. The urgent task now was to go to the Fallen Demon Land, break through in soul power, and increase his chances of binding the Dragon God Soul-Suppressing Jade.

"What? You're going to accept the challenge?" Hearing that Yang Tian was going, Qing Yuan's brows knitted tightly. This was clearly a deadly trap, not easily broken.

"I have my own way to escape. Don't worry." Yang Tian scratched his head and said with a slight smile, "Don't mention the Golden-Winged Roc to outsiders."

"This..." Hearing this, Qing Yuan's brows furrowed into a deep crease. If news of the Golden-Winged Roc got out, the Li family might back off.

"Alright then." Seeing Yang Tian's serious expression, Qing Yuan smiled bitterly.

In truth, Yang Tian wanted to reveal the matter of the ancestor, but if he did, a horde of demons would likely come knocking, making the current situation even worse.

"I'll wait for you outside..." Seeing Yang Tian leave, Qing Yuan waved his hand and shouted loudly.
