Chapter 751: Entering the Cave Dwelling

The cave dwelling built by the Cao family in this small heaven and earth was now besieged by many powerful figures, and chaos began to reign in this realm.

“Damn it!” Cao Jiang’s cold eyes swept across the scene, his fury immense—there were actually hundreds of Emperor-level experts trying to break open the cave dwelling’s gate.

Although a great formation had been laid outside, it could not withstand the bombardment of so many people; the formation was on the verge of collapse.

“Go report to the Supreme Elder at once!” Seeing the formation twisting and distorting, Cao Jiang’s expression turned grim as he shouted.

He wasn’t worried about the formation being breached, but Yuan Xia was inside. If these people accidentally broke the Void Trap Formation, the consequences would be dire.

Inside the cave dwelling, most of the Cao family’s experts had mobilized, intending to suppress the chaotic figures from the outer realms.

At that moment, Cao Jiang swaggered toward the cave dwelling where Yuan Xia was imprisoned. Just as he reached the entrance, he barked, “Activate the great formation immediately!”

As his words fell, the old man hidden in the void showed a flicker of doubt in his eyes. He glanced at Cao Jiang but said nothing, and the formation split open a gap.

Inside the cave dwelling, an icy beauty sat cross-legged. A faint smile appeared on her face, and as her gaze shifted, it landed on the young man at the door.

“Why him?” Her brows furrowed slightly, and surprise flickered in Yuan Xia’s eyes. Wasn’t this Cao Jiang? How could there be fluctuations of Yang Tian’s bloodline?

“Could it be a transformation technique…” Yuan Xia’s gaze wavered with uncertainty. Her beautiful eyes glowed with five-colored divine light, but she could not see through Cao Jiang’s disguise.

Yet she was certain: the bloodline within this person contained a part of her own bloodline. If it wasn’t Yang Tian, who else could it be?

Yang Tian strode in. As soon as he entered, he sensed the terrifying power of the surrounding formation. Four formidable energies interwove in the void; if activated simultaneously, they would be a fearsome force.

“To break this formation, we must first kill one of them, creating a flaw in the great array!” Yang Xiao chuckled. The One Qi Transforms into Three Purities was truly miraculous.

This transformation divine art probably couldn’t be seen through even by old monster-level beings, let alone a few Emperor-level experts.

“The young master is something else—there’s a great battle outside, yet he has the leisure to come here?”

“Heh heh, this saintess of the Yuan family is the most beautiful woman among the eight great families. Even a sage would be tempted, right?”

“Indeed… indeed, I’ve heard this Yuan Xia has extraordinary talent…” The hidden experts in the void exchanged whispers, completely unaware that this person was not Cao Jiang.

Yang Tian nodded casually, feigning nonchalance. When his gaze fell upon the woman in white, who seemed like an immortal, joy surfaced in his eyes.

He quickened his pace. A faint, elegant fragrance drifted into his nostrils, and at that moment, anger rose on Yang Tian’s face.

“You’re here…” Yuan Xia’s eyes reddened slightly, as if she had suffered great grievance. At this moment, she seemed soft and fragile, a stark contrast to her usual domineering demeanor.

Looking at this aggrieved woman, Yang Tian grabbed her arm, pulled her into his embrace, and slapped her bottom heavily.

With a sharp crack, Yuan Xia’s delicate body trembled involuntarily. At his reproach, the grievance in her eyes deepened.

“Making you run off recklessly…” Yang Tian couldn’t help but scold in a low voice. Fortunately, Cao Jiang had feared Yuan Xia’s identity; otherwise, the trouble would have been immense.

This woman in white, like a banished immortal, now had a mist of tears in her beautiful eyes, her cheeks flushed, and her red lips pouted slightly, like a little girl showing shyness.

Since the events a few days ago, their relationship had become one of complete openness and greater intimacy.

At this moment, Yuan Xia broke free from Yang Tian’s embrace. She looked at this body with great dissatisfaction and pouted, “Change back quickly.”

“If I change back, we won’t be able to get out…” Yang Tian shook his head slightly. The reason he had acted so recklessly was that there was a small soul-isolating formation here; the hidden figures around couldn’t see what was happening inside.

“How did you get in?” Yuan Xia frowned in confusion. Even if he had transformed into Cao Jiang, he would likely be found out.

“Someone is attacking the cave dwelling outside; they’re probably in a complete mess by now…” Yang Tian chuckled softly. Then he whispered a few words in Yuan Xia’s ear and walked toward the exit.

“The White Tiger governs slaughter; seize the White Tiger Banner first!” Yang Xiao guided him. In the void, a murderous aura could be sensed, piercing the clouds—extremely terrifying.

Yang Tian nodded slightly. His gaze fell on a patch of void, and he said calmly, “Come out.”

As his words fell, an old man appeared before Yang Tian, his face full of confusion. “Young master, what is it?”

“There are hundreds of people outside besieging the cave dwelling. Come closer; I need you to do something.” Cao Jiang pursed his lips and spoke.

The old man didn’t hesitate much and leaned in, puzzled as to what the young master was up to.

Just as he was wondering, a loud boom erupted from outside, shaking the entire cave dwelling.

“What’s happening?” Cao Jiang’s face darkened, his expression gloomy.

Streams of soul power instantly spread out, rushing toward the site of the disturbance. Had they broken in?

But at that moment, a terrifying wave of soul power suddenly exploded, carrying a dreadful divine might that made everyone inside tremble.

It was a jade pendant, emitting rumbling divine sounds, which shot straight toward the old man’s brow to kill him.

“Ah…” The old man’s face twisted in terror. The distance was too close; he had no chance to dodge, and his soul power had just surged out, leaving no time to recall it.

The Divine Dragon Soul-Suppressing Jade Pendant struck, piercing through the old man’s forehead, and his body shattered into pieces.

“Ah…” The remaining three experts widened their eyes in disbelief. How could there be such terrifying soul power?

“What’s going on?” Cao Jiang was terrified, stumbling backward.

With a hum, a hazy soul form suddenly manifested in the heavens. Amid the horrified gazes around, it tore open the void and charged inside.

“Not good—the White Tiger Banner!” The other three were both alarmed and enraged. This person was actually trying to seize the White Tiger Banner, a rare treasure from ancient times, refined daily with the essence of sun and moon, capable of killing powerful enemies.

With a roar, a blazing wave of fire swept forth, like a passage formed by a domain of flames, within which a Vermilion Bird rose and fell, emitting overwhelming fluctuations.

Roar! This was an Azure Dragon, majestic and mighty, shaking heaven and earth, and eerily merging with the energy unleashed by the Vermilion Bird Banner.

Three streams of energy—Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, and Black Tortoise—merged together, erupting with fluctuations that made one tremble, and shot toward Yang Xiao’s void.

“Truly terrifying!” Yang Tian’s heart shuddered. These three energies had perfectly fused through the banners, enough to kill a powerful enemy!

Threads of cyan heavenly fire burst forth, coalescing into a cyan great dragon in the void, roaring mightily and spewing a sea of flame, piercing toward the oncoming divine ocean.

Cao Jiang’s heart pounded, and he stumbled backward, shouting, “The White Tiger Banner is our clan’s treasure; it must not fall into an outsider’s hands!”

“Rest assured, young master. This person is a soul body; even if he has reached Manifest Sage, he won’t last long!” The others nodded in unison. The cyan smoke heavenly fire in the void was retreating step by step.

“What’s going on?” Suddenly, a gloomy shout came. Cao Feng hurried in, asking in surprise, “Big brother, what happened?”

“Someone has been so audacious as to break into the Void Trap Formation!” Cao Jiang’s face was full of rage.

“What? Is that so?” Cao Feng was furious. His hair whipped wildly, and a琉璃 divine lamp appeared in his hand, ready to awaken its divine power.

“Kill!” Yang Tian snorted coldly. A Heaven-Mending Cauldron suddenly floated above his head.

“Eh?” Seeing the artifacts in the two men’s hands, they were very puzzled. When had the two young masters changed their treasures? And that five-colored small cauldron—why did it look so familiar?

“How can this be?” Yuan Xia covered her red lips with a jade hand, her big eyes filled with astonished divine light.

Both artifacts belonged to Yang Tian, but… had he actually cultivated a clone?
