Chapter 373: Splendid Mountains and Rivers!

The boundless sea of blood blotted out the sky, blazing divine light coiled around it, and the void was on the verge of sinking. The evil aura it exuded made hearts tremble, and many terrifying creatures were bred within.

The three-headed demon dragon was extremely ferocious; most of the creatures inside were nearly killed, but the three demon dragons were not faring well either, as several extremely terrifying demonic beasts rampaged within.

On all sides, pitch-black lightning streaked across the sky, densely packed, making one's scalp tingle. These terrifying bolts of lightning rained down, striking through the endless sea of blood.

This was a fearsome exotic beast, controlling thunder and lightning. The pitch-black arcs of lightning were also terrifying, traversing the sea of blood and striking the heads of the three-headed demon dragon.

“Scram!” roared the three-headed demon dragon, shaking heaven and earth. The sea of blood churned, and demonic sounds rumbled as they desperately blocked the terrible assault.

“Perish!” the colossal being bellowed in fury. Its terrifying body took root in the sea of blood, like a great star falling, unleashing monstrous waves that swept in all directions.

“Roar!” This was a silver monster, shining all over, with six wings. The aura it emitted was extremely oppressive, and a suffocating presence spread throughout its body.

Bang! Bang! The silver monster flapped its wings, producing a terrifying sonic screech. The entire sea of blood was stirred, nearly slipping from their control.

The three powerful beings joined forces, shaking heaven and earth. Great stars fell from the void, marking an extremely fierce battle.

“I didn’t expect to attract so many powerful beings.” Yang Tian pursed his lips and exclaimed inwardly. These creatures were all extremely formidable, each a hegemon in the outside world.

“Let’s wait and see. In this state, we can’t get out.” Yang Xiao nodded and smiled slightly.

The battle grew ever more intense. The six powerful beings clashed, their overwhelming auras surging out. The surviving creatures around trembled and shivered in fear.

“Die!” roared a demon dragon. Heaven and earth quaked violently, and the endless sea of blood suddenly shook. Rivers of blood emerged, forming terrifying claws that surged with blood energy and struck across the sky.

The three fearsome beings howled wildly, their divine might overwhelming. They roared, shaking heaven and earth, and ear-splitting demonic sounds burst forth. The sea of blood ahead split open, and the terrifying claws were ground away in the void.

The battle was brutal. The creatures caught in the sea of blood all suffered—either their bodies were shattered by the roars, or they were slain by the three-headed demon dragon, becoming nourishment for the sea of blood.

“Damn it!” the three-headed demon dragon cursed. The beings they faced were extremely terrifying, making it exceedingly difficult to kill them. If the battle dragged on, the sea of blood would surely suffer severe damage.

“Break!” the beast that controlled thunder and lightning roared, shattering the clouds. It opened its mouth and spewed endless pitch-black lightning, forming a vast thunder domain that exuded a monstrous aura and swept toward the sea of blood.

Boom! Boom! Heaven and earth shook with ear-splitting sonic booms. In the endless sea of blood, the thunder domain expanded infinitely, and cracks appeared in that part of the sea, spreading rapidly.

“Whoosh…” A gale arose, tearing through the sky. The silver monster flapped its wings, and with a rumble, fearsome wind howled from all directions, tearing open the void—extremely terrifying—and struck at the breach created by the thunder.

“Go!” the colossal being bellowed. Its massive body shifted, taking root in the sea of blood, tearing through layers of bloody rivers. Several blood spears shot from its eyes, piercing toward the three-headed demon dragon.

“Bastards!” The three demon dragons had expended much energy. Their cold eyes swept over the three beings of overwhelming divine might. All three demon dragons were extremely unwilling; with their essence blood, the king’s emergence would be greatly hastened.

Just as they were locked in a stalemate, heaven and earth suddenly shook. A hair-raising aura faintly seeped out, making the very world tremble.

“Roar…” The three beings were alarmed, fear appearing in their eyes. They moved swiftly, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood, their power surging. They violently broke through the sea of blood and fled outward.

“It’s our king’s aura!” Joy arose in the hearts of the three-headed demon dragon. The fact that the aura could leak out meant that those three artifacts could barely suppress it any longer, and soon the demon dragon would emerge.

Yang Tian’s mind also trembled. That aura just now was too terrifying, making his whole body feel cold and filled with dread.

“This is…” At that moment, Yang Xiao’s eyes fixed ahead. The towering pillar of light had dimmed considerably, and the aura emanating from the Splendid Mountains and Rivers was not as vigorous as before.

“Could it be that someone from the Yuan family has come to collect the divine object?” Yang Xiao murmured. If the news were spread, the information about the Floating Tower would also be learned by other families, and that would be bad.

“Could it be that little girl…” At this, Yang Xiao pursed his lips, thinking that it might be Yuan Xia who had come here.

Outside, the energy fluctuations of the two towering pillars of light weakened, drawing the attention of the demon dragons.

The earlier incident of the myriad creatures attacking was very suspicious; this matter could not be taken lightly.

Seeing this, Yang Xiao’s heart tightened. Their bodies instantly vanished, entering the Mountain River Cauldron to block that probing.

The atmosphere outside was unusually oppressive. The three demon dragons roamed the sea of blood, unaffected by the divine patterns. Their eyes now focused on the Splendid Mountains and Rivers.

“Come out!” one of the demon dragons spoke, its tone icy and expressionless.

“There’s someone inside!” Yang Tian was greatly shocked, his eyes fixed incredulously on the divine pillar ahead.

“The spirit of the Splendid Mountains and Rivers must have encountered trouble, otherwise it wouldn’t have revealed the person inside.” Hearing this, Yang Xiao nodded gravely.

“I wonder which clan it is. They probably slipped in during the earlier chaos…” Yang Tian scratched his head and frowned. The person who could enter here was likely from one of the nine great families.

Just as the three demon dragons sneered, a large rift suddenly appeared above their heads. Terrifying energy fluctuations surged toward the high heavens like tidal waves.

At the center of those energy fluctuations was a silk handkerchief embroidered with mountains and rivers, like a vast and boundless world—countless peaks, surging rivers, dazzling flowers, birds, fish, and insects, and auspicious beasts crying endlessly.

And among them, a qilin emerged, coiled in mist, radiating myriad auspicious rays; a five-colored phoenix suddenly flew out, its cry shaking heaven and earth, its power terrifying and its spiritual energy overwhelming.

“They’ve actually activated the Splendid Mountains and Rivers.” The sight before him gave Yang Tian a tremendous shock. The one who entered was likely a descendant of the original owner of the artifact.

“Humans!” The three-headed demon dragon roared to the sky, its eyes bloodshot. A terrifying killing intent surged, and monstrous demonic sounds echoed through heaven and earth. For hundreds of thousands of years, their suppression had been at the hands of humans.

“You all must die!” The three-headed demon dragon went berserk, fully unleashing the power of the sea of blood. It madly attacked the silk handkerchief floating in the void, blood energy surging, monstrous waves tearing the sky. Heaven and earth seemed to rain blood—an extremely horrifying scene.

With a hum, the Splendid Mountains and Rivers suddenly expanded, erupting with overwhelming divine might. Heaven and earth trembled as it instantly covered the sky. Ranges of mountains swept across the void, crashing down upon the sea of blood below.

Boom! Boom! Heaven and earth shook, mountains quaked, and rumbling sounds came from the sea of blood.

The two clashed, and that part of the void was blasted into a zone of nothingness. Mighty waves of air surged in all directions.
