Chapter 760: Sudden Change
Heaven-Shaker · 第760章 惊变
Each king medicine has grown for forty to fifty thousand years, seizing the essence of heaven and earth. This single king medicine can enable the strange stone to undergo many transformations!
Drops of crystalline precious liquid exuded vigorous life force, each strand brilliant and shimmering, revealing faint, barely perceptible anomalies.
As the king medicine liquid emerged, the world was filled with auspicious light, and the potent medicinal power spread, startling many ancient ancestors.
"King medicine!" roared the Taotie, greed flashing in its eyes. This was a king medicine, grown for tens of thousands of years, each one seizing the essence of heaven and earth, capable of extending one's lifespan and breaking through realms.
Until now, Yang Tian had never consumed a single king medicine, because his current strength was insufficient to refine it; a ten-thousand-year precious medicine was enough.
Each king medicine was extremely formidable, with boundless life force. Such medicines were most suitable for Cave Heaven realm experts, helping them open the human body's cave abode—essentially a second dantian!
The Cave Heaven was a crucial stage in the Undying realm. Usually, experts who reached this level not only had to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth but also sought rare treasures.
Opening a Cave Heaven required powerful refining materials to support energy storage. Most Undying old monsters chose Void Crystal.
Yang Tian's Black Demon Sword was forged from Void Crystal, capable of holding vast energy. However, the most terrifying materials were Spirit Embryos or Heaven-Earth Membrane Embryos, which were extremely rare. Many Emperor Lords traveled far and wide seeking great opportunities.
Setting that aside, for Cave Heaven ancestors, king medicine was even more important than for Emperor Lords. To reach the peak of the Cave Heaven realm required immense energy, and king medicine could quickly satisfy such experts' needs.
What is that human youth doing? He actually possesses a king medicine, stirring even the heroes from beyond the domain!
King medicine was extremely rare on other life planets; these outsiders had no secret realms like the Divine God Mountain!
Yang Tian obtained both his king medicines from the Divine God Mountain, and Fatty also had one, thanks to the big black bird.
"Ao... this prodigal!" Seeing the king medicine liquid dancing in the void, this human youth actually let the medicinal power dissipate. How infuriating!
"I'll kill him, how outrageous!" roared the Golden Beast. This was pure waste—a single drop of king medicine liquid could extend one's lifespan by over a decade!
"Is this guy trying to help the strange stone achieve enlightenment?" Yuan Xia's jade fingers curled around her shoulder-length hair, her red lips parting slightly as she murmured.
Under countless burning gazes, Yang Tian shook his sleeve, releasing about twenty drops of king medicine liquid toward the five orifices of the strange stone.
Buzz! The strange stone trembled with excitement. Such precious liquid was extremely rare. It had been sleeping all along, and upon waking, it was greeted with such a nourishing treasure.
Drop by drop, the liquid flowed through the orifices into the stone's interior. Its entire body radiated myriad auspicious lights, rising brilliantly.
Rumble! As the orifices breathed, the surroundings roared. Its breathing was terrifying, drawing the essence of the eight directions into its body.
Roar! The Taotie could no longer hold back. It struck first, aiming for the seven or eight drops of liquid still in the void, enough to save it decades of bitter cultivation.
A terrifying devouring force emerged, causing a great wind to sweep through the world. The remaining liquid and Yang Tian's body were instantly drawn toward it.
Hum! The strange stone grew angry. Its body radiated brilliant light, emitting sacred rays that stabilized the surrounding void.
At the same time, a terrifying great dragon suddenly twisted out from its orifices. Its body blazed with divine flames, and as soon as it appeared, it drew upon the spiritual vein's power, surging forth like a vast ocean.
Like a river bursting its banks, the void was completely shaken. The essence within the Dao Palace became clearly visible, drawn by the great dragon and furiously drilling into its body.
All this was accomplished in the time it took the great dragon to leap. It became even more fearsome, its divine flames blazing, burning the void and striking fear into hearts.
With a roar, the great dragon shook the stars. Its body, formed from countless flames, plunged toward the Taotie's mouth.
"Devour!" The Taotie, known for devouring all things, faced the charging divine flames. It roared, and the devouring force in its mouth surged at a terrifying rate!
Under countless gazes, the dragon formed from divine flames was swallowed by the Taotie. Its face was savage as it chewed loudly, but after only a breath, its ferocious expression turned ugly.
It felt as if its insides were burning, countless tongues of fire darting about, tearing through its flesh and钻进 its bones.
"Ao..." The Taotie suddenly screamed in agony, flames spurting from its entire body. Its belly seemed to explode, causing unbearable pain.
"Eh..." The surrounding experts were stunned. This was a Taotie—how had it become like this?
Earlier, Yang Tian had sent a portion of the Three Flavors Divine Fire's essence to the strange stone, causing it to merge its own nurtured divine flame with the Three Flavors Divine Fire, resulting in this terrifying transformation.
The power of the Three Flavors Divine Fire lay in the fact that almost nothing could extinguish it. The Three Flavors Divine Fire in the golden furnace could burn eternally, showing how fearsome this flame was.
The Taotie was in dire straits. It had been too arrogant, swallowing a dragon formed from divine flames, and was now nearly burned to death.
"Why has this divine fire become so terrifying? Could it be the divine radiance that kid threw out earlier?" At this moment, someone recalled something, their eyes fixed on the youth in the void.
"I understand now. This kid helped the strange stone perfect its divine ability, forging a good connection!" a powerful expert growled.
"So that's it. No wonder this human youth was willing to pay such a price. It was for this reason." A group of people clicked their tongues in amazement. Trading a king medicine for the goodwill of a heaven-and-earth spirit—that was a good deal.
"They say humans are cunning, and it's true!" someone shouted in frustration. With this help, the strange stone had already achieved its goal.
"Fairy, save me..." The Taotie could no longer bear it, pleading with the white-robed woman in the void. The jade bottle she held might save its life.
Hearing this, the woman frowned slightly, then nodded. After all, Yang Tian had ruined their plans. Saving it was reasonable, and it would only cost a drop of Hundred Flowers Divine Water.
A drop of crystalline water fell. The Taotie quickly opened its mouth and swallowed it directly.
It had heard of the Hundred Flowers Divine Water, which could extinguish countless fire domains. It hoped it could quench the flames in its belly.
"Ao..." A scream even more piercing than before erupted. The Taotie's entire body spewed flames several feet long, its form nearly burned to a cinder. It was in agony.
"Ah... I have no enmity with you, why do you harm me!" The Taotie was furious. It felt the flames inside intensify, and even its soul was nearly incinerated.
It dared not stay any longer. Howling in pain, it fled, followed immediately by several cultivators with ulterior motives.
"This..." The woman was also stunned. Then she murmured, "Could it be that what that man threw out was a combination of Sun Divine Fire, Three Flavors Divine Fire, and Golden Crow Divine Fire?"
These three divine fires were of extreme yang nature. The Hundred Flowers Divine Water could not extinguish them; only the rootless water from the Jade Pure Vase, the supreme treasure of the Immortal Mortal Path, could do so.
"But why did it burn even more fiercely?" She was very puzzled, her brows tightly knit.
"Could it be that the fairy thought it was too ugly?" someone muttered quietly.
"Probably. Every disciple of the Immortal Mortal Path is like an immortal. How could they save it..." The people nearby nodded.
Yang Tian was also stunned. He hadn't expected the strange stone's flames to be so terrifying, even able to severely wound the Taotie.
The strange stone radiated auspicious light. After refining a king medicine, its aura became even more terrifying, like a dormant vast ocean.
At this moment, its orifices emitted a wisp of divine flame, carrying a hint of origin essence, and sent it toward Yang Tian's palm.
"The strange stone actually gave away a trace of its origin! This kid hit the jackpot!" Many experts were shaken. The strange stone was clearly thanking Yang Tian for his help by giving him a wisp of its origin.
"Excellent..." Yuan Xia's cheeks bloomed with a smile. This wisp of origin was not to be underestimated, given the terrifying situation just now.
With a bang, a dazzling golden light shot forth rapidly, heading straight for the falling origin, intending to seize it.
The Three-Eyed Ancestor made his move. He was also very eager; obtaining this wisp of divine flame and nurturing it would be a great asset.
The strange stone grew angry. A golden staff suddenly struck out, emitting endless killing sounds that made the heavens and earth tremble, shattering the attack.
"Bastard!" Di Lin was enraged. This strange stone dared to ruin his plans. His body blazed with fury, barely containable.
Yang Tian was overjoyed to receive the divine flame. The flame he had given to the strange stone was returned, but now it contained an additional layer of mysterious fluctuation, clearly something the strange stone had comprehended.
Di Lin was furious. His vertical eye opened and closed. Truly angered, he descended from the ninth heaven, intending to suppress both the strange stone and Yang Tian.
Seeing this, Yang Tian moved toward the strange stone. With its protection, the three-eyed freak couldn't get near him.
But to Yang Tian's shock, as he approached, the strange stone suddenly collided with him, sending his body hurtling toward the three-eyed freak. This sight shocked too many people.
