Chapter 708: Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Steps!

The bronze altar, covered in rust and dense with patterns, had a mass of Three Flavors Divine Fire floating above it, appearing so desolate.

A clone manifested from a wisp of blood essence suddenly descended beneath the bronze altar. The demon woman stared at the altar and the Three Flavors Divine Fire, a gleam of determination in her eyes.

“The divine fire and the star altar have been here for who knows how many years without being taken. What secrets lie hidden?” the mysterious woman murmured, very curious.

Both items were treasures that drove people mad, yet they had remained here safely for so many years—not something just anyone could take.

Moreover, even the supreme sects beyond the domain coveted such things, let alone the experts of the Central Region.

Though the star altar was not that important in Yang Tian’s eyes, for those who had cultivated to the Undying Realm, such things were extremely significant.

Beyond the Starry Ancient Road lay another starry sky, a different world for such experts. It might help her step into great divine powers, or it might hold endless opportunities, or perhaps endless dangers.

In the past, an ancient expert had found an uncivilized life star, where he discovered a vast quantity of heavenly treasures, even ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs as common as cabbages.

That expert then established a sect, enlightened all beings, and took in many disciples, not only accumulating boundless merit but also becoming a being who looked down upon all the sects of the heavens!

Such a story was not a legend; it was recorded in ancient texts. The Three Flavors Divine Fire floating above the star altar seemed very eerie.

Especially for the mysterious woman—behind her was a terrifyingly powerful sect. The value of the Starry Ancient Road likely lay in leading to an unknown world, greatly benefiting the sect. Human curiosity was ultimately boundless; some supreme sects even enslaved entire life stars!

As the demon woman’s foot stepped onto the altar, a cold wind suddenly blew, making one involuntarily shiver.

“What’s going on?” This feeling was very unpleasant, making one’s hair stand on end, a bad premonition.

With a hum, the floating Starry Ancient Road suddenly awakened! A terrifying aura abruptly stirred, erupting in a surge of air.

“What’s inside?!” Yang Tian couldn’t help but change color. The star altar had awakened, and its oppressive aura made one tremble.

“Could there be a will that has survived for ages?” The mysterious woman in white robes, her hazy eyes shimmering with a heart-stirring light, wondered.

This aura was oppressive and fearsome, ancient and terrifying. The rust on the bronze altar was flaking off, and the roar of war chariots echoed through heaven and earth.

With a bang, like thunder crashing by the ear, dazzling and dizzying, a blinding light burst from the bronze altar, raging into the high sky, shaking the firmament.

“Could it be that someone is coming out, like that madman?” Yang Tian couldn’t help but wipe cold sweat. If so, the continent would truly be unusual—dead figures reviving.

The demon woman’s face changed. One of her clones, which had moved forward, tried to flee.

Dong dong! It sounded like someone walking, or like divine weapons exploding in the divine realm, penetrating through the realms, making one’s skin crawl and bones chill.

“How terrifying…” Yang Tian shivered all over. This sound was too dreadful, as if someone dead for countless years had revived, every wisp of aura making one tremble.

This clone manifested from a drop of blood essence ultimately failed to escape and was directly shaken into dust!

“Bastard!” A furious roar exploded. The demon woman’s face turned icy cold. She sensed an unknown energy within.

A hint of contemplation flickered across the mysterious woman’s brow. She looked at the Three Flavors Divine Fire. Though the divine fire was terrifying, it was completely devoid of intelligence, and its origin was greatly diminished, vastly different from true divine fire.

But the star altar was too unusual. It concealed a terrifying energy; if fully awakened, the Fire Domain would likely collapse.

“I haven’t even stepped onto it, and now it’s troublesome.” Seeing this, Yang Tian did not feel pleased. He frowned and murmured, “The star altar hides such powerful energy. How can one step onto it?”

Just as the three of them were watching, the terrifying sound from before suddenly dissipated, as if it had never come.

"Boom!" The demon woman was unwilling to accept defeat. She made her move. A terrifying giant hand appeared out of nowhere, the divine-demon hand radiating overwhelming ripples, trembling slightly and shaking heaven and earth.

She was extremely arrogant. The divine-demon hand covered the sky and descended, looking as if it intended to shatter the bronze altar.

Thump, thump! The sound of footsteps manifested again. Two steps fell, making one tremble with fear and feel chilled to the bone. At the third step, the divine-demon hand quivered, and Yang Tian's body couldn't help but retreat.

At the fourth step, countless battle cries rang out between heaven and earth, as if one were personally present on a battlefield of a million soldiers. The divine-demon hand began to break apart. The demon woman's face changed color. This aura of slaughter was terrifying, like a god of death descending into the world.

At the fifth step, sounds of ghosts wailing and gods howling resounded, threatening to split one's eardrums. The divine-demon hand exploded. A trace of blood seeped from the corner of the demon woman's mouth; she was injured by this divine might.

At the sixth step, heaven and earth fell silent. It was as if a divine demon was roaring. Supreme killing light burst forth. The surrounding fire domain vanished, all things sank into oblivion. The demon woman was sent flying backward, spitting out three mouthfuls of blood in succession!

"Terrifying! This is the Nine-Turn Divine Demon Step!" A rare hint of surprise appeared in the mysterious woman's eyes. This was a supreme divine ability!

The Nine-Turn Divine Demon Step: when nine steps are taken, all things are annihilated. This footwork had been lost for endless ages. Yet according to ancient records, those who could master nine steps could be counted on one's fingers.

A rare glint of fervor appeared in the mysterious woman's eyes. This supreme divine ability was too rare; even the supreme sect behind her coveted it!

"It's far more powerful than Yuan Xia's Nine-Bend Maze Step." Even Yang Tian couldn't help wiping cold sweat. If it had been aimed at him, he would have been trampled into mud by now.

The demon woman's face turned extremely ugly. She was panting heavily. The attack just now was eerily strange; she could not withstand it.

She had come here for the Three-Flavor Divine Fire. Now she couldn't ascend the altar, and all her planning over these days had come to nothing.

"I wonder what is hidden inside this altar. If it's a living person, why doesn't it come out?"

Just as Yang Tian was silently pondering this, the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end. A great crisis was looming over him.

"Not good!" Yang Tian's eyes darkened, but it was already too late. In the hazy void, an overwhelming force descended, striking directly onto his body.

"Pfft..." Yang Tian's entire body trembled violently, a burning pain searing his chest as he coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

"Eh?" The demon woman's expression shifted slightly. Her gaze fell on Yang Tian's chest with a hint of disbelief—her attack just now had failed to blast his body apart.

Not only her, but the woman from beyond the domain also furrowed her brows. She hadn't expected Yang Tian to withstand the blow with little consequence.

"Cough..." He spat out another mouthful of blood, his hand touching his slightly reddened chest. Though still aching, the skin was unbroken, and he had only suffered minor injuries.

"What kind of divine liquid is hidden within that golden page, to have such terrifying effects!" Yang Tian couldn't help but marvel. The earlier strike should have gravely wounded him.

The demon woman let out a cold laugh. A twisted beam of pitch-black light shot forth, exuding a yin aura, and pierced directly toward Yang Tian's chest.

Just as Yang Tian was about to summon the golden bone, a pristine white sleeve shot out, crystalline petals blooming as if from a myriad of flowers, striking the black beam.

"You're asking for death!" The demon woman raged, her long black hair whipping wildly. Her hand suddenly formed a claw, and a dark beam like lightning was born from her palm.

It resembled a thunder tribulation; each strand of light sent shivers down one's spine, now shooting toward Yang Tian's chest.

"Ha!" Yang Tian shouted softly. The Vajra Ring manifested in the void, its golden circle radiating dazzling light as mysterious energy began to emerge, charging forth like a blazing sun.

With a bang, the Vajra Ring trembled slightly, sending divine rays in all directions. Though it shattered the dark light, the killing moves came in an endless stream, causing Yang Tian's expression to darken.

Rumble! Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, the floating star altar suddenly shook. A terrifying aura erupted, carrying an ancient, weathered presence that filled heaven and earth—the altar seemed to come alive.

All three changed color and instantly retreated. If the bronze altar went berserk, none of them would be able to escape.

Suddenly, a terrifying suction force emerged. Yang Tian, who was rapidly retreating, was caught by this pull, and his body was instantly drawn toward the bronze altar.
