Chapter 445: Yang Tian Awakens!

Time flew like an arrow, months passed like a beam of light. Half a year had gone by since Yang Tian escaped from the Li family.

Ever since Yang Tian wreaked havoc on the Li family, destroying their entire legacy with the Chaos Thunder Tribulation, his reputation had spread far and wide, even reaching some high-ranking figures in the Central Region.

Although Yang Tian had vanished for half a year, many powerful individuals secretly searched for him, including solitary experts who were no exception.

The news of a divine object shook the entire continent. Many terrifyingly powerful clans sent out their outstanding disciples to search for that divine object.

Rumors about Yang Tian spread in various versions, some greatly exaggerated. But the destruction of the Li family was real. Li Qingxue had disappeared from the continent after being defeated by Yang Tian, her whereabouts unknown.

Not only was the continent in turmoil, but even the terrifyingly powerful clans in the Central Region were shaken. The nature of that object was beyond doubt; some had discerned its details through comparison.

Today, the weather was fine, the sun brilliant, casting down rays that made everything warm and cozy, giving a sense of comfort.

There was a patch of soft hay. Xiaoqing lay on it, basking in the sun as if sleeping. He was extremely comfortable, his whole body gleaming golden.

By the small lake, which had once been dry, the water now shimmered with blue ripples. The shadow of a graceful, upright girl was cast into the lake by the warm sunlight. The girl occasionally smoothed the hair on her shoulders.

This solitary girl had a unique aura. Her green dress fluttered, her figure undulating. Her large eyes sparkled like stars, making people want to take a second look.

Boom! Suddenly, a loud noise exploded. Yun'er, who had been daydreaming, was startled. Her gaze instantly darted to the distant cave dwelling.

Boom, boom, boom! The trembling cave dwelling suddenly burst open. A powerful blast of air rushed out, rocks flew in all directions, piercing through the clouds. Sand and stones scattered, dust filled the sky.

From within came a terrifying wave of life force, as if a sleeping deity was slowly awakening. The void trembled violently, shaken by this aura.

“Brother Yang is finally awake.” Yun'er’s eyebrows curved like crescent moons. She sensed the leaking aura, which had undergone a tremendous change, completely different from before.

“Chirp chirp!” Xiaoqing, who had been sunbathing, was startled awake by this aura. He was very cheerful, flapping his wings and soaring into the void, flying around, chirping excitedly like a child.

Golden light surged like a tide, rolling out, penetrating heaven and earth, like an ancient dragon soaring upward, causing the entire valley to tremble.

Yang Tian’s aura had undergone earth-shaking changes. Inside his body, the five Dao bodies were brimming with life force, their essence flourishing, rising in wisps.

The sixth organ had also undergone a great change. Inside, rumbling sounds echoed, as if a powerful deity was roaring, wanting to tear open heaven and earth. It was not far from breaking the shackles of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Yang Tian’s qi sea trembled violently. The golden lake had expanded by more than half, its life essence so dense it made one’s heart tremble. Every tremor made the heavens and earth rumble.

He was as powerful as a deity. His tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, and a dazzling golden radiance, like threads of silk, burst forth, splitting the surroundings.

The formations around him were all shattered by Yang Tian’s overwhelming aura. His eyes swept around. After a long silence, he slowly said, “Where is this? How long have I been asleep?”

“Brother Yang…” Just as Yang Tian was recalling the events of that day, accompanied by a loud shout, Yun'er quickly arrived before him, her jade-like face full of smiles.

“Yun'er…” His gaze falling on the girl before him, Yang Tian was momentarily stunned. He looked dazedly at the uniquely auraed girl. Her aura had changed greatly, making people want to get close.

“Chirp chirp!” Xiaoqing arrived, pulling Yang Tian out of his daze. He pressed his two claws on Yang Tian’s shoulders, chirping happily.

Startled awake, Yang Tian smiled awkwardly, not understanding why he had lost his composure just now.

Yun'er’s bright, star-like eyes sparkled. Her delicate body couldn’t help but curl slightly as she smiled sweetly. “Brother Yang, you’ve been asleep for half a year. You almost worried me to death.”

“Half a year!” Hearing this, Yang Tian was dumbfounded, unable to speak. As his thoughts turned, he asked, “What about Big Brother and Yuanxia?”

Yun'er shrank her head slightly, her jade hands intertwined, her small eyelashes furrowed together, unsure how to answer.

Sensing Yun'er’s hesitation, Yang Tian’s expression changed slightly, his heart sinking. He pressed, “Yun'er, did something happen to them?”

“No, no…” Yun'er quickly waved her hands. Noticing Yang Tian’s relieved look, she pouted and said softly, “Sister Yuan left a few months ago. She seemed to have urgent business.”

Hearing this, Yang Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Then his face darkened for a moment, looking grim. He asked solemnly, “And my big brother?”

“Brother Yang Ba…” Yun'er stammered. Finally, under Yang Tian’s persistent questioning, she explained the whole story.

“Something happened…” Yang Tian stepped back a few paces, a hint of panic in his eyes. He turned his head stiffly a few times, a sense of dread rising in his heart.

At that moment, his mind sank into his body, arriving before the Ancestral Dragon Ring. His mind instantly relaxed.

Above it, three soul light points were flickering. Two belonged to his parents, and the other was a strand of soul force that Yang Xiao had placed inside through Yang Ba.

As long as that soul force was not extinguished, Yang Ba was not in mortal danger.

“Big Brother self-destructed, but he’s still alive now. Was he saved by someone?” After a moment of silence, a hint of doubt appeared in Yang Tian’s eyes as he murmured to himself.

“No, maybe the demon clan captured Big Brother. They’re searching the world for divine blood!” At this, Yang Tian’s body trembled, his fists clenched, crackling.

The Yang family’s bloodline was terrifyingly powerful. Although the Ancestral Dragon Stele was lost and the bloodline divine abilities could not be activated, it was still not comparable to the bloodlines of any random holy land. The demon clan would be extremely interested.

Moreover, the Yang family had been the mortal enemy of the demon clan in ancient times. The White-Clad Supreme had suppressed countless true demons.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Tian suddenly remembered something. His body instantly appeared in the Ancestral Dragon Ring. His anxious eyes searched inside, and his heart sank to the bottom.

“Uncle Xiao? … Where did he go…” Yang Tian was filled with unease. He searched the entire Ancestral Dragon Ring but found no trace of Yang Xiao.

“Impossible. Uncle Xiao can’t be in trouble. The Mountain River Cauldron has a spirit senior. As long as Uncle Xiao forcefully awakens the spirit, he’ll be fine…” Yang Tian’s fingers dug into the dirt as he forced himself to calm down.

“If nothing happened, why hasn’t Uncle Xiao come after so long?” Just as he calmed down, his mind became somewhat disordered, and he murmured in a lost voice.

“Uncle Xiao must be asleep. It’s been less than half a year. That must be it…” Yang Tian kept murmuring. His mind wandered through the Ancestral Dragon Ring, but he found that the demon dragon had also disappeared.

“The most important thing now is to find out what happened that day. Uncle Xiao and Big Brother can’t be in trouble!” Clenching his fists, Yang Tian’s face gradually calmed. His mind returned to the outside world.
