Chapter 584: A Figure from the Ancient Era?

Yang Tian grimaced, his unsightly gaze sweeping around. What kind of powerful figure had just struck?

"Run fast, you can't fly up here!" the big black bird screeched.

Its two large wings flapped like a black rooster as it sprinted wildly.

"Catch them!" a group of strong cultivators behind them roared, their eyes burning with greed for the divine brew, of which they didn't know how many drops remained.

The ground hummed and trembled. Yang Tian's group, each with a physique more formidable than the last, moved at lightning speed, vanishing before everyone's eyes.

The periphery of the temple was in complete chaos. Temples were being opened one after another, yielding ancient artifacts and fruit brews.

With a bang, Yang Tian's divine power surged, blasting open the temple doors. Inside, a dazzling treasure light shot into the sky like a divine sea rushing forth—a scene of immense grandeur.

Inside were small pools filled with terrifying life essence, with illusory divine dragons manifesting and leaping through the void.

"Divine pools!" someone in the distance shouted, darting over like a rabbit.

As soon as Yang Tian opened this treasure site, a dozen figures rushed in, each reaching out with large hands to grab from the divine pools.

"Damn it!" Yang Tian and his companions gritted their teeth in fury, but their movements were swift. They scooped up dozens of drops before the pools dried up.

"Leave it all behind!" At that moment, a loud shout came from behind. A golden war spear pointed at the crowd, and a golden torrent surged. Instantly, someone in the field exploded, blood spraying everywhere, sending chills through everyone.

The black-clad youth exuded overwhelming divine might, possessing a heavenly demeanor. Though young, he had an aura of supremacy. With a single strike, he killed several strong cultivators, terrifying those around him.

"It's him!" someone recognized him. This youth was none other than the extraordinary genius who had recently made a name for himself, even causing peak elders to fall by his hand!

The black-clad youth was decisive and extremely domineering. He raised his hand, and boundless divine power surged, suppressing the void itself.

The divine liquid that hadn't been retrieved instantly fell into his hand, and he stored it away.

The crowd was enraged. This figure was too arrogant, disregarding everyone, and had snatched their gains with a single move.

But no one dared to stop him. He had the might of a young supreme, and numbers were useless against him.

Yang Tian and his companions had changed their appearances and hid among the crowd, choosing to avoid a direct confrontation with this cultivator who was a whole major realm above them.

Suddenly, heaven and earth trembled violently. A divine bird with shimmering cyan feathers shot forth, its scales clanging, exuding a fierce divine might. Its large claw directly pressed toward the black-clad youth's head.

"How dare you!" The black-clad youth was enraged. With his invincible might, someone actually dared to attack him.

He lightly flicked his war spear, causing the void around him to explode like a massive millstone moving, blocking the attacking cyan jade claw.

A continuous clanging sound rang out. The cyan jade claw, as if forged from divine metal, was indestructible, sending out large sparks.

Surges of divine light spread, and many nearby cultivators groaned, coughing blood, some even having their chests blown open, nearly shaken to death.

The surrounding cultivators were terrified and quickly retreated. The arriving figure was incredibly powerful; even the residual waves had killed several War Emperor cultivators.

"Eh?" A surprised voice sounded. It was a divine bird with cyan feathers. Its eyes shot out cyan lightning, captivating and daunting, making it hard to look directly at it.

"Azure Luan!" Seeing this divine bird, Yang Tian couldn't help but murmur inwardly. This was a descendant of a divine beast, the Azure Luan!

A divine beast appeared before the crowd, and they trembled in fear, quickly fleeing the battlefield.

Two terrifying figures engaged in battle. Yang Tian and his group retreated, thinking that the longer they fought, the better, as there weren't many treasures left inside.

Temple after temple was opened, revealing countless treasures. Someone even unearthed a large pile of scriptures, sparking fierce competition among many prodigies and leading to bloody battles. Yang Tian also joined in but later had to retreat when several major families joined forces to seize them.

The treasures on the periphery of the temple were all plundered, and everyone rushed inward. As for the prayer beads and the Vajra Ring that Yang Tian's group had obtained, such Buddhist artifacts were extremely rare.

The Vajra Ring was a marvelous artifact. Yang Tian had once fully activated it and smashed a terrifying alien creature's body to pieces!

Bloody battles raged everywhere in the temple. Yang Tian witnessed powerful prodigies clashing, broadening his horizons, but he also knew that the road ahead would be even more difficult.

Take the mysterious black-clad youth, for example—he came from another life star, possessed invincible divine might, and was so powerful that it made all beings tremble.

Or the divine monkey's single strike, which instantly killed a Roc divine bird, shaking heaven and earth. It was too terrifying to imagine the scene of young supremacies contending in the ancient era, shaking the heavens and earth!

Having experienced so much, Yang Tian's inner restlessness and arrogance had diminished. The vast and boundless cultivation world was filled with countless experts, and even a godforsaken place might hide a supreme genius.

Buzz! Suddenly, a great change occurred in heaven and earth. The void ahead burst forth with ten thousand feet of golden light, like a divine ribbon spanning the sky, startling the soul.

It was like divine flames exploding, emitting a blinding radiance that made it impossible to look directly.

The sound of Buddhist chanting rumbled, echoing through heaven and earth, as if a divine Buddha was reciting scriptures, startling all the cultivators in the temple.

"Such astonishing celestial phenomena—could a supreme treasure be emerging?" a creature roared, rushing forward madly.

The Buddhist chanting pierced the ears. Yang Tian's eyes fixed on the front, where golden waves surged endlessly like monstrous waves striking the high sky, truly terrifying.

Countless cultivators arrived, their glowing eyes fixed on an ancient scripture shimmering with divine light. Within it, a great Buddha seemed to be reciting Buddhist chants, an extremely eerie sight.

"It's a supreme Buddhist scripture!" a human cultivator shouted, his eyes turning red. This was the burial ground of a divine Buddha. If one obtained the scripture and cultivated its divine powers, they might inherit the legacy within!

The ancient scripture radiated ten thousand feet of divine light. A terrifying phantom of a great Buddha emerged, looking down on all the prodigies, spreading an oppressive might.

His entire body was blazing hot, divine light dazzling like a divine furnace burning. His divine power was astonishing, like raging waves, as if a deity had appeared, eternal and indestructible.

"Ah..." Several low-level cultivators screamed, blood streaming from their eyes as they were blinded.

"Is this a deity?!" someone roared in disbelief. Countless eras had passed since this place was sealed, yet the phantom was still so terrifying!

"How is this possible? After countless ages, the creator of this scripture still lives in the world!" some creatures shouted, refusing to believe it.

"Hmph, a mere wisp of will, how dare you shake my will!" At that moment, a figure blazing with heat walked forward, his body surging with golden light. He pointed his war spear at the great Buddha phantom and shouted.

"It's him..." Seeing the emerging prodigy, some immediately retreated. This black-clad youth was too terrifying; even the residual waves of his battles could kill large numbers of cultivators. They dared not contend with him.

Yang Tian's eyes fixed on the great Buddha phantom floating in the void, a look of shock appearing in his gaze. It was like a shadow piercing through the void from the ancient era, extremely terrifying.

"This Buddha has the ultimate combat power within. I reckon even that black-clad youth is no match!" the big black bird said, scratching its bald head with some certainty.

The black-clad youth possessed supreme combat power, looking down on everyone of the same cultivation level. His eyes were like two golden divine lamps, spitting out brilliant divine radiance.

"Kill!" He shouted softly, his voice like thunder, accompanied by a rumbling tremor. His war spear suddenly thrust, shaking heaven and earth, striking toward the great Buddha's head.

At the same time, his palm suddenly shot out, reaching for the ancient scripture, intending to seize the Buddhist scripture.

"Chi!" The great Buddha phantom suddenly opened its mouth and uttered a Buddhist syllable, like a divine bell ringing in the nine heavens, emitting a heaven-shaking divine might that shook people's souls.

Rumble! The war spear trembled and suddenly reversed. Layers of terrifying golden waves, like great paths, spread across the sky, surging mightily, a spectacular sight.

The black-clad youth was startled; his soul force trembled, nearly exploding. Just a single Buddhist true word had shaken his heart and soul.

The golden waves exploded like heavenly maidens scattering flowers, shattering the sky, their divine might invincible!

The war spear shook, and the black-clad youth's tiger's mouth split open. His eyes were filled with shock; he hadn't expected this great Buddha to be so terrifying.

"So this is a strong cultivator from the ancient era, with the demeanor of a supreme!" Yang Tian's scalp tingled. Even the powerful black-clad youth was like a chicken or dog before him! If this Buddha were to emerge, all the prodigies here would be swept away by his phantom!

The surrounding powerful figures from major clans, each arrogant to the sky, now felt a chill in their hearts. The great Buddha's strength was only at the peak of the Great Power realm, but they were not on the same level.

"So strong!" A woman in white, like an immortal, her hair gently lifting on her delicate shoulders, looked like a banished immortal, peerlessly beautiful. But now she was stunned; even Yuan Xia felt a shock!

"This is a prodigy from the ancient era. How admirable!" Many cultivators almost prostrated themselves, yearning for that era when the human race's supreme beings were overwhelmingly powerful and shook the heavens and earth.

The great Buddha phantom looked down on heaven and earth, repelling the black-clad youth with a single word. Its oppressive might made everyone tremble, and no one dared to contend for the Buddhist scripture.

Just then, a slow footstep suddenly reached everyone's ears, as if a god of death had arrived. Everyone's heart convulsed, nearly jumping out of their chests.

"Who is it? How can they be so terrifying..." The big black bird couldn't help but tremble, its eyes darting around. The arriving figure was extremely powerful, likely able to contend with the great Buddha phantom.

All the strong cultivators were shaken, feeling it was unbelievable. Two figures not of this world had appeared in succession—too many surprises.
