Chapter 593: Yang Tian's Parents!

As a child, disaster struck, and Xinyu always felt guilty for not giving her child a complete childhood.

Now she didn't even know if he had escaped back then. Although they had constructed a void passage, Yang Tian had no cultivation at the time, and even if he escaped, he would have suffered severe internal injuries.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine." Patting Xinyu's shoulder, the middle-aged man said with a faint smile. Over the years, he had grown accustomed to this, and he too longed for news of them.

"My poor child..." Xinyu couldn't hold back her tears. Trapped here for ten years without seeing them, she felt helpless and filled with longing.

"I might be able to answer that question!" At that moment, a voice tinged with coldness slowly echoed in their ears.

At the sudden words, Xinyu's delicate body trembled. She slowly turned her head, a glimmer of hope flashing in her bright eyes as she looked at the two figures approaching, but it quickly faded, replaced by hatred.

"Hmph!" Beside her, Yang Xiao's eyes darkened as he let out a cold snort. At the same time, a divine light blazed in his eyes. He was extremely agitated; from those words, he knew his son was still alive!

"Want to know?" The demon clan youth's lecherous eyes fell on Xinyu. He touched his nose and sneered, "Serve me well, and I'll tell you where Yang Tian is."

The old man behind the demon clan youth's expression instantly changed. None of these people could be touched; that was the order from above.

"Wretch!" Yang Xiao snorted coldly, showing no fear. He stood with his hands behind his back, his murderous intent undisguised.

"What? Not willing?" The demon clan youth ignored Yang Xiao, his eyes fixed on Xinyu's angry gaze as he sneered.

"Divine Son, this..." The man behind him hesitated, the stakes too high even for him to bear.

"Shut up!" The demon clan youth bellowed, his killing intent surging. He was truly enraged, but the next moment, a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth as his inner source was stirred by his anger.

"Damn it!" The demon clan youth gritted his teeth. He glared at Yang Xiao, forcibly channeled a strand of divine power, and sent Yang Xiao flying.

Bang! With no power to resist, Yang Xiao, his whole body sealed, was slammed against the surrounding walls. A gash was torn in his chest, and blood spurted out.

Xinyu's heart tightened. Her jade-like hands clenched, and she bit her lip, unable to bear the humiliation. She helped Yang Xiao up.

"Hahaha..." However, Yang Xiao waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need her help. He burst into laughter, a look of contempt and relief spreading across his face, mixed with a hint of wild joy.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing this, the demon clan youth growled, his voice heavy and oppressive.

"What am I laughing at? Don't you know?" Yang Xiao stopped laughing and retorted, "If I'm not mistaken, that injury of yours was caused by my son, wasn't it?"

"It was Xiao Tian..." A light shone in Xinyu's eyes. Recalling the earlier harsh conversation, it must be true.

At that moment, she was extremely excited and happy. Tracking down the demon clan's whereabouts was no small feat, and wounding a Divine Son was simply incredible.

"What has Xiao Tian been doing all these years? Has he become a strong cultivator? That was his childhood dream. He must have grown up." Xinyu forgot about the figures outside the prison, her mind wandering, her eyes filled with longing as she silently fantasized.

The youth's eyes turned icy cold. He gritted his teeth in hatred. Seeing Yang Xiao's mocking gaze, his fury blazed. Suddenly, he spat out a beam of divine light, aiming to shatter Yang Xiao's head!

"Enough!" At that moment, a deep voice rang out, and the divine light in the void instantly dissipated.

At the same time, a figure slowly emerged from the sky. This figure was terrifying, his chaotic light surging like an ocean. He was like a god, exuding an overwhelming aura as he descended from the heavens!

"Great Divine Son..." The old man shivered, trembling with fear. Facing the Great Divine Son, he felt as if he were facing a god, his whole body cold.

"You..." Seeing the arriving figure, a flash of anger appeared in the demon clan youth's eyes, but he forcibly suppressed it. The other's cultivation was too terrifying; they were not on the same level.

"Fifth Brother, you're becoming more and more pathetic. Attacking an unarmed person—aren't you ashamed?" The Great Divine Son's eyes showed a hint of mockery as he sneered.

The Fifth Divine Son was furious, his hand trembling. Faced with the Great Divine Son's contempt, he had no retort.

"Having obtained the Divine Demon Source and still being so useless, you were wounded by a junior. How disgraceful. If you're not careful, the clan might take back the Divine Demon Source. Get lost!"

His hand flickered slightly, chaotic light spreading, and with a single slap, he sent the Fifth Divine Son flying, extremely domineering.

He cast a cold glance at the old man, snorted lightly, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

"Forgive me, Great Divine Son." The old man trembled under his gaze and quickly spoke.

Shaking his head slightly, the Great Divine Son's gaze fell on Yang Xiao and Xinyu. He said calmly, "Yang Tian, is it? He won't live much longer. The Divine God Mountain will be his grave!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiao clenched his fists, a piercing cold light flashing in his eyes. He could imagine that, having severely wounded the Fifth Divine Son, Yang Tian's current strength must be extremely formidable.

The Great Divine Son's figure dissipated. He was terrifying, his cultivation level unknown. Even the old man, who was as strong as a quasi-emperor, trembled.

"Our son is still alive..." Xinyu murmured, overjoyed and happy, crying tears of joy as she paced back and forth in the cell.

After so many days and nights of longing, she had nearly cried all her tears. Perhaps only she knew what she was feeling now.

...

Divine God Mountain.

In the Buddhist hall that flowed with the mysteries of the universe, the youth died. He was blasted to death by the Zen sound emitted by the staff, a terrifying sound wave that made one's heart tremble.

After the youth died, the fluctuations from the staff instantly dissipated. Its divine radiance receded, returning to its calm state. It was hard to imagine that this was an artifact that had accompanied a deity through life.

His body was cracking. Yang Tian's eyes narrowed. He stared fixedly at the split chest, from which brilliant divine light flowed out with a rumbling sound, as if a deity was emerging.

"What's going on?" Yang Tian's fist clenched tightly. He growled, "Is he not dead yet?"

"What the hell is coming out?" The big black bird's heart also trembled. From the demon clan youth's chest, a strange creature was about to emerge, sending chills down one's spine.

A holy radiance illuminated the world, burning like a great sun, emitting dazzling divine light. It was a light source the size of a fist, flowing with terrifying divine radiance, as if a living being was hidden inside!

"This is... a source?!" The big black bird saw this sacred light source and couldn't help but tremble. The person was dead, yet the source of the divine body still existed—unbelievable.

Little White's mouth watered profusely. His big eyes narrowed as he stared at the fist-sized divine light source, his face full of greed, desperately wanting to eat it!

Yang Tian's hand grabbed suddenly, taking the light source into his palm. He could sense that it contained the mysteries of the universe, and every strand of energy was refined to the extreme!

"How is this possible? How did his source automatically come out?" Even the big black bird, a creature that had lived for countless ages, couldn't understand this incredible scene.

"Delicious... delicious..." Wiping his drool, Little White desperately wanted to eat the light sphere floating in Yang Tian's hand.

At that moment, the silent staff emitted divine light, and a sigh slowly sounded: "Devouring Heaven Divine Art..."

At the sudden voice, Yang Tian and the others' bodies tensed instantly. He quickly asked, "Senior, do you know what's going on?"

The staff's spirit was silent for a moment, then murmured, "This is a demonic art created by a genius of the ancient times. I didn't expect anyone would still practice this technique. What a sin..."

"Devouring Heaven Divine Art!" Yang Tian was astonished. From the spirit's words, it was a heretical art that defied heaven, but what was its connection to the divine body's source?

"Senior, do you know the difference between the source and the demonic art?" Yang Ba asked, sensing a major connection between the two.

The staff fell silent instantly, its divine light fading, returning to its calm state, clearly unwilling to say more.

"Uh..." The group was stunned, then sighed. This probably involved secrets of the ancient times, and even the spirit was unwilling to speak. The demonic art must be extremely cruel.

Little White blinked his big eyes, wiped his drool, and shouted, "I want to eat... I want to eat..."

Hearing this, a glimmer of light appeared in Yang Tian's eyes. He murmured, "Devouring Heaven Beast... Devouring Heaven Divine Art... Could there be a connection?"

"Let's eat it outside." Patting Little White's head, Yang Tian put away the source. There were still many things to do.

"Alright then..." Little White wiped his drool and finally nodded. He could feel that the source would greatly benefit him; eating it would bring immense advantages.

With a rustle, a pile of treasures appeared. The demon clan youth's collection was quite rich. There were over two hundred spirit medicines alone, including many ten-thousand-year-old ones.

Yang Tian took the source but didn't take the spirit medicines. He first put away the small black rod without examining it closely.

Now his gaze fell on three jade slips. He picked up one that emitted a faint luster, feeling it was extraordinary.

A strand of divine sense probed into it. As soon as it entered the jade slip, a terrifying pressure of divine sense erupted, like a ferocious beast roaring.

"Not good!" Yang Tian was shocked, but it was too late. The divine light he had probed in was instantly extinguished.

"Such powerful divine sense. It must be a divine sense master no weaker than Uncle Xiao." Wiping cold sweat, Yang Tian was glad he hadn't sent in much divine sense.

His eyes scanned the pile of treasures below. The happiest were Kun Hu and the others. The demon clan youth had many precious pills, and Yang Tian handed over a large number of Dao artifacts to them, making them grin from ear to ear.

"With these artifacts, I reckon even the talented youths of some great clans can't catch up!" Kun Hu obtained a top-grade Dao artifact and was extremely excited, almost dancing.

"This guy is really rich. There are over a dozen sixth-grade pills alone." The harvest was very abundant, and Xiao Ji couldn't help but grin.

At that moment, Little White and Fatty were red-faced, fighting over a stone about half the size of a head. It was pitch black, its true nature unclear, looking like an ordinary rock.

"Mine, mine..." Little White bared his crystal teeth and bit down on Fatty's hand with a snap, extremely ferocious.

"Ow... ow... let go..." Fatty winced in pain. Even with his tough body, Little White left a row of teeth marks.

"Hehe..." Little White giggled foolishly, his big eyes squinting as he stared at the stone, unable to get enough of it.

"What is this?" A hint of doubt appeared in Yang Tian's eyes, and he couldn't help asking.

"There's a terrifying divine energy fluctuation inside!" Fatty said with burning eyes, "It seems to be a divine stone!"

"What!" Yang Tian's eyes widened, almost popping out, his face full of disbelief. "Impossible."

"A divine stone? Let me see..." The big black bird was very excited, his feathers bristling as he grabbed for the divine stone.

"Go away, go away..." Little White quickly hugged the stone, looking wary, and hid the pitch-black stone.

"You dare to hog it!" Fatty fumed. If it really was a divine stone, it was unimaginable. Such a divine stone could rival a high-quality celestial artifact, and absorbing its energy would bring unimaginable benefits.

A divine stone was formed when a great cultivator fell, and the divine blood flowing in his body condensed into a stone. Such stones were extremely rare on the continent.

"There's only one, and I found it first!" Little White glared. Even if they wanted to split it, they couldn't; they had no way to cut the divine stone.

"Alas, my poor divine stone, a lamb in the tiger's mouth!" Fatty sighed mournfully, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Outside the chaotic passage, many experts were heartbroken. Especially those who had survived, their faces dark and grim.

They had been tricked. Over a hundred great cultivators had entered, but only about ten walked out alive. The losses were severe.

"Did we go a bit too far?" Shangguan Hao trembled inwardly, his eyes on the experts. So many had died, including talents from various clans.

"Too far? We should have killed them all!" Qing Yuan said ferociously, shouting, "Man dies for wealth, birds die for food. It's the cycle of nature. No one else to blame."

"You're ruthless!" Shangguan Hao couldn't help but give a thumbs up, then couldn't help but smile.

A group of nearly mad experts stared at the chaotic passage, furious and about to explode. Yang Tian was simply a jinx, not to be trifled with. They recalled the tragic fate of the Li family.

"After last time, the major clans have suffered heavy losses. From now on, steer clear of him." Some clan elders began to teach.

"He's too brutal. Who would dare do that?" The younger generation sighed. Offending so many divine mountains at once—they wouldn't dare even if they had the guts.

"Yang Tian!" Yi Xing gritted his teeth in hatred. His divine eye had been severely damaged inside, and without a large number of treasures, it couldn't be restored.

Inside the chaotic passage, Yang Tian had wanted to go into seclusion for a while, but a strong gale surged around them, instantly teleporting them out.

"The divine tomb is closing!" Many experts looked displeased but could only swallow their anger.

"Giggle..." Meng Yunxi couldn't help covering her mouth with a laugh, her narrow eyes squinting, exuding a captivating charm that left many dumbfounded.

The void twisted. Yang Tian and the others were wrapped in a great force and teleported out of the divine tomb, appearing in the divine hall.

"Look!" As soon as they came out, the big black bird exclaimed, pointing at a towering stone staircase ahead, his face full of surprise.

The towering stone staircase soared into the sky, exuding the divine rhythm of the Dao, radiating terrifying divine light, illuminating eternity like an eternal staircase.

"The Creation Stairway! Someone has touched the Creation Stairway!" The big black bird exclaimed, shouting, "I didn't expect someone to reach the interior and activate the Creation Stairway!"

"What is this?" Yang Tian scratched his head and couldn't help asking. Even the Dao rhythm emanating from it was extremely terrifying.

"We'll know when we get there!" The big black bird shouted, flapping his big wings and rushing forward.

Inside the divine hall, life energy was like an ocean. Every hall emitted precious light, but many doors had been broken open.

"Who's so despicable? They didn't enter the divine tomb and hogged everything!" Fatty howled, feeling great pain. Who knew how many treasures had fallen into others' pockets.

Hearing this, Yang Tian couldn't help rolling his eyes. His gaze fell on the Creation Stairway ahead, where he could already see figures moving.

"It's Xuan Yuan Mu. No wonder I didn't see them earlier." His eyes fell on several towering figures, and Yang Tian immediately recognized them, feeling very surprised.

A seductive woman, graceful and charming, her jade body emitting divine light, her aura intimidating. She moved lightly up the stairs, like a celestial descending, indescribably beautiful.

Another was a powerful being with vast imperial might, a terrifying creature walking step by step up the stairs, his strength overwhelming, like a divine furnace burning.

There were several other terrifying talents Yang Tian didn't recognize. But he recognized Dan Xiaoxiao and the white-clad youth beside her, both talents of the Dan Valley.

"How did that little girl run so fast?" Seeing a little girl, Yang Tian couldn't help but smile.

The Creation Stairway soared into the void, stretching for nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps. At the very top, energy surged, dazzling and brilliant, with seven beams of light above, as splendid as a rainbow.

An incredibly vast life force. On the Creation Stairway, it was as if a divine sea had been born, with agile divine dragons soaring through the void, colorful divine phoenixes leaping across the nine heavens, and auspicious qilins swallowing starlight...

This flowing aura was extremely astonishing, with countless mysteries emerging, like a divine river from the heavens falling to the mortal world, leaving people speechless in awe.

"What is this thing?!" Yang Tian clicked his tongue in astonishment, exchanging a glance with Yun'er. A flicker of shock appeared in both their eyes—this celestial phenomenon was absolutely earth-shattering!
