Chapter 375: Is It Worth It?

The colossal battle sent terrifying energy surging in all directions, shaking this small world. Countless creatures trembled in fear, their terrified eyes fixed on the towering pillars of light ahead.

Two heart-stopping energies clashed, at times blazing with five-colored divine flames, at others shrouded in layers of dark light. The dreadful aura continuously erupted, causing heaven and earth to quake.

All living beings panicked, their bodies shivering. That divine object was too terrifying, as if a deity slumbered within; they could not withstand its aura. Some low-level magical beasts even collapsed to the ground.

In a distant region, three fleeing creatures exchanged glances, their eyes tinged with fear. If the demon dragon had been determined to keep them there, they would have suffered severe injuries or even fallen.

This clash lasted for half a day. The energy emanating from the Splendid Mountains and Rivers rapidly weakened, and the heart-pounding aura receded, as if it could no longer hold on.

"Uncle Xiao, will the artifact spirit of the Pagoda Tower intervene?" Yang Tian scratched his head and asked urgently. Given Yang Xiao's current state, even with a divine object, he could not contend with the behemoth before them.

"It should..." Yang Xiao frowned slightly and said slowly, "The artifact spirit of the Pagoda Tower suppresses the demon lair. Even if it acts, it won't use too much power, or the lair will surely fall into chaos."

Below, though the sea of blood was formidable, the gathered energy trembled violently, as if about to burst. Above, the three dragon heads appeared ancient and weary; this fearsome secret art drained them greatly.

"Damned humans, we have paid a great price. Now it's your turn!" One of the demon dragons roared to the sky, its deafening voice echoing incessantly, shaking heaven and earth.

"Die... all humans must die!" The three demon dragons went berserk, their roars shaking the world. They did not hesitate to burn their essence to keep the humans here.

Boom! Boom! Three fists, each like a mountain, swung continuously, stirring up fierce gales. The void shattered inch by inch, and the heavens swayed. Under Yang Tian's anxious gaze, the energy fluctuations from the Splendid Mountains and Rivers weakened to the extreme.

"Child, I have done my best..." In a void, a figure wrapped in five-colored divine light spoke weakly. She had suppressed this place for hundreds of thousands of years, nearly exhausting her essence. If she used her divine power further, this divine object would also lose much of its might.

Nearby, a woman in white, like an immortal, breathed softly. Her posture was elegant, her black hair flowing lightly. She had an extraordinary temperament, tinged with a hint of nobility.

Yet on her flawless face was a trace of anxiety, evoking pity. She was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Senior, do not waste any more. Whether fortune or calamity, it is my fate." Yuan Xia gently clenched her jade hand, parted her red lips, and spoke softly.

"You are not destined for a short life. You have a tribulation today. Whether the one who should face it comes depends on your fortune..." The Splendid Mountains and Rivers murmured, unwilling to say more.

Just as Yuan Xia was about to speak, the entire space suddenly shook. A terrifying force struck. Thunderous sounds echoed through heaven and earth. Yuan Xia's delicate body trembled violently; she was struck as if by lightning, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Outside, the Splendid Mountains and Rivers vanished. A horrifying dark light pierced into a hidden space, tearing open a rift.

"No!" Yang Tian was shocked. He saw the woman in white inside, her flawless face now stained with blood at the corner of her lips.

"Haha... die... all humans must die!" The terrifying sea of blood churned, emitting soul-shaking demonic sounds. The woman in white in the void trembled repeatedly, her body injured by the demonic tones.

"Bastard!" Yang Tian stepped out of the Mountain and River Cauldron. He stomped the ground, which instantly cracked. His explosive power was astonishing, piercing through clouds and mist, his gaze cold and sharp.

Yang Tian soared upward like a young deity, his blood surging with thunderous sounds, the great Dao resonating, and his internal organs all vibrating.

As the soft jade entered his embrace, Yang Tian held her somewhat cold jade-like hand, a trace of anxiety appearing on his face.

"You... how are you here?" Yuan Xia's mind slightly recovered, looking at the familiar face before her, a hint of surprise in her eyes, her speech somewhat unclear.

"Afraid you'd be killed by this long worm, I flew in from outside." Holding the breathtakingly beautiful person in his arms, Yang Tian made up nonsense.

"You..." Yuan Xia's chest heaved violently. She noticed Yang Tian's somewhat fiery gaze, a hint of anger appearing on her cheeks as she scolded, "You'd better leave this place; this is not a place for you."

"I'm already here, and I can't leave." Shrugging his shoulders, Yang Tian grinned.

"You..." Hearing this, Yuan Xia's cheeks puffed slightly, glaring at Yang Tian, suddenly realizing their posture was extremely ambiguous as they descended.

"Let me go..." She pushed against Yang Tian's chest but found herself weak all over. Her blood vessels had been severely damaged earlier, and her body was shaken by the demon dragon, now unable to move.

The sudden change surprised the three demon dragons greatly. Looking at the ant-like figures, they burst into laughter.

"Truly we found them without effort. The owners of both artifacts are here... hahaha!" The three demon dragons laughed. With their eyes, they naturally noticed that the Mountain and River Cauldron had also been swapped.

Yuan Xia bit her red lips, glancing sidelong at Yang Tian, her expression extremely complex. She pursed her lips, her voice trembling slightly: "Is it worth it?"

"Worth it!" Hearing this, Yang Tian lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms, grinning: "A hero saving a beauty—how could it not be worth it?"

"Go to hell..." Yuan Xia frowned, giving him a glare, but deep in her eyes there was a hint of gratitude. Even a woman as stunning as her needed a strong shoulder to lean on at this moment.

"Flirting even at death's door!" The three demon dragons were enraged. The sea of blood surged, emitting terrifying rumbling sounds, and ten thousand rays of divine light pierced the clouds, roaring down.

Suddenly, a breath that made heaven and earth tremble surged forth, shaking the world. A three-legged, two-eared cauldron appeared before the sea of blood, its mouth overflowing with dazzling divine light, cascading down like waterfalls.

The three-legged, two-eared cauldron, with its divine charm astonishing the heavens, stood between heaven and earth, emitting captivating divine sounds. Powerful beings roared within, and terrifying figures seemed about to emerge, plucking stars and grasping the moon.

"Die!" Yang Xiao shouted, pushing his palm forward. The Mountain and River Cauldron shot out with a hum, revealing overwhelming divine might. Cold beings emerged, and countless terrifying figures charged forward.

"All of you, die!" The demon dragon roared, shaking heaven and earth. Its massive fist suddenly swung out, shattering the void, and crashed into the Mountain and River Cauldron.

Boom! The clash of two powers produced heart-shaking sound waves. Yang Tian's ears rang, and his eardrums nearly burst.

Sparks bloomed in the void, with continuous clanging sounds. Powerful beings continuously emerged from the Mountain and River Cauldron, tearing through the layers of blood sea. A golden-winged roc also swooped up, attacking the three heads.

Yang Xiao's divine soul power was greatly depleted. After just one clash, his entire soul twisted. If the demon dragon hadn't been heavily exhausted earlier, he wouldn't have lasted even a moment.

"This won't work." Yang Tian gritted his teeth, his gaze falling on the golden pagoda radiating ten thousand rays of light. He shouted, "Senior, quickly kill these three little worms so I can go out and find a successor for you."

"Bastard!" The three demon dragons instantly flew into a rage, roaring wildly. As the most powerful demon bloodline, being called little worms drove them nearly mad.

Yuan Xia covered her red lips with her jade hand, unable to suppress a few laughs. Her eyes, shimmering with emotion, followed Yang Tian's gaze upward.
