Chapter 797: The Depressed Grand Elder

A terrifying aura was awakening, like a thunder god, exuding chilling fluctuations.

The purple hammer, like a thunder god awakening, possessed boundless divine power; thick purple lightning bolts, like flood dragons, spread destructive fluctuations.

Especially on the purple hammer, purple patterns interwove, exuding the aura of the Dao, each pattern becoming terrifying.

Rumble! Like a thunder tribulation, ten thousand purple lightning bolts surged forth, shattering the void, as if to split the sky!

Everyone was stunned. This seemingly ordinary purple hammer was actually so terrifying—it was a supreme treasure!

The Grand Elder couldn't help rubbing his eyes, his beard standing on end. He had just glanced at the purple hammer, thinking it was merely a mundane object, never expecting it to be so fearsome.

Ten thousand lightning bolts, like flood dragons, roared out together, shaking the entire Star Moon Pavilion, causing it to tremble.

"Not good..." Yang Tian's expression changed slightly. If this struck, the entire Star Moon Pavilion would collapse, and they couldn't afford to compensate for that.

Stepping with Carefree Steps, his body suddenly appeared above the myriad lightning bolts. Yang Tian's large hand slapped downward, and strands of earth-attribute Dao patterns suddenly densely covered the void.

"Suppress!" he shouted loudly, his vigorous blood energy rising like smoke. The fluctuations of earth-attribute rules also became terrifying, weaving into a prison that pressed down.

Buzz buzz buzz! The ten thousand lightning bolts struck, chilling to the bone. The newly suppressed space buzzed and trembled under the impact of the purple lightning, as if about to shatter.

Seeing this, Yang Tian's pupils suddenly contracted. He clicked his tongue in amazement. This purple hammer was too terrifying; he had just used the divine power of rules, yet it hadn't been suppressed.

The prison woven from rules was cracking. The Grand Elder's eyes turned red, and he roared inwardly: "Damn it, which bastard placed this supreme treasure here!"

He had just witnessed Yang Tian's strength—the divine power of rules was extremely terrifying—yet now it hadn't suppressed the myriad lightning bolts but was instead shattered by them.

As for the hand Yang Tian had just slapped down, the East Sea Divine Pearl now appeared in his palm. He directly activated its divine might, and a brilliant stream of chaotic energy flowed out.

"Go!" Yang Tian shouted inwardly. The East Sea Divine Pearl emitted a chilling aura, and countless strands of chaotic energy burst forth, smashing the purple lightning at a ferocious speed.

"What treasure is this!" The Grand Elder's eyes were instantly drawn to the East Sea Divine Pearl. His body trembled; if Yang Tian had used this treasure earlier, he felt he couldn't have withstood it and would have died beneath it.

"Where did that little thief get this treasure? That pearl is so beautiful..." Yu Yao stared at the East Sea Divine Pearl, speaking with great envy.

Hearing this, a smile curled on Yuan Xia's cheek. This treasure was obtained by Yang Tian in the Daoist temple. She was very happy, feeling that Yang Tian seemed to have astonishing luck.

"Xiao Zi, stop playing..." Looking at Xiao Zi, who was having a great time, Yang Tian said helplessly.

She was very excited, waving the little purple hammer in her hand with shouts, making Xiao Jin envious and eager to play with it a few times.

Hearing Yang Tian's voice, Xiao Zi stuck out her tongue. The purple hammer instantly became mundane, and its terrifying aura dissipated.

The Second Elder's eyes turned red; he almost couldn't help but snatch it. This treasure was extremely terrifying, no ordinary object.

The Grand Elder rubbed his hands and pursed his lips, pondering how to broach the subject. This thing couldn't just be given away, could it?

"Thank you for the gift, Grand Elder. I am deeply grateful!" At this moment, Yang Tian cupped his hands and smiled at the Grand Elder.

"Uh..." The Grand Elder was stunned. This fellow—just as he was about to speak, Yang Tian thanked him. What was he to do now?

After all, he had already offered it for free. Asking for it back would damage his dignity.

"Ah, Yang Tian, you have to compensate me." Yu Yao pouted her red lips. Such a terrifying thing couldn't be let Yang Tian have it so cheaply.

"Yang Tian!" The Grand Elder's pupils suddenly contracted. He exchanged glances with those around him, and a hint of shock flashed in their eyes.

"No wonder this child is so formidable—he is Yang Tian, who ascended the Creation Heavenly Staircase!" the Grand Elder couldn't help saying, his heart trembling. He remembered that at that time, Yang Tian was only a War Emperor, yet now he could defeat him.

"Comparisons are odious..." the Grand Elder muttered. He recalled that at that time, he was still an Emperor Lord, and now he still was, while the other had comprehended the rules...

"I'm very poor," he replied honestly. "Even if I gave this treasure to you, you couldn't use it. This item is fated with Xiao Zi."

"Exactly!" Xiao Zi laughed heartily. The hammer in her hand suddenly disappeared, replaced by a lightning mark on her fair forehead.

"This!" At such a startling sight, Yu Yao smacked her red lips. This thing was indeed the little girl's innate treasure.

"So it's Daoist Yang Tian. My apologies for earlier." At this moment, the Grand Elder laughed heartily. Since he couldn't get the item back, he might as well do a favor.

Yang Tian was a rising prodigy of this generation, who had risen step by step without any backing. His current status was earned through his own efforts, and his future achievements would be extraordinary.

Moreover, Yang Tian had passed on the Star Map to the Star River Sect—a great karmic connection, not to mention the Star Token, the supreme token of their sect.

"Grand Elder, you are too kind." Yang Tian smiled. The Star River Sect and he had some affinity.

"By the way, I heard that a great change occurred in the Small World. Did you go in?" At this moment, Yu Yao frowned, looking very puzzled.

Hearing this, Yang Tian hesitated for a moment, then said, "The Small World is a relic from before the Great Destruction."

"What?" Yu Yao and the others immediately exclaimed. The Grand Elder couldn't help saying, "An ancient secret realm from that era? Unbelievable, utterly unbelievable."

"No wonder those domain experts fought tooth and nail to come." Yu Yao nodded her head.

"Even so, that secret realm is now suppressed by the demon race." Yang Tian sighed repeatedly and roughly recounted what had happened inside, causing the others to exclaim.

"The world is repeating itself; it seems chaos is imminent." The Grand Elder's face was grave. Although the Star River Sect was formidable in the Tianyang Continent, it appeared weak before the major sects of the outer domains.

This was a calamity. Whether their heritage could continue depended on each sect's fate.

"Grand Elder, a friend's disciple needs to go to the Eastern Continent. Does your sect have a teleportation array?" At this moment, Yang Tian inquired. Crossing the East Sea, he was very uneasy.

"Yes, leave it to me!" Yu Yao patted her chest and giggled.

"Ao, this spendthrift! Teleporting once consumes a huge amount of top-grade blood stones—a great loss of property!" Seeing Yu Yao agree so readily, the Grand Elder howled inwardly, feeling great pain.

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Zi, once you reach the Eastern Continent, go directly to the Ten Thousand Mountains..." Yang Tian told them the location of the Ten Thousand Mountains and gave many instructions.

"Senior, I understand. I won't hurt anyone." Xiao Zi touched the purple lightning mark on her forehead and laughed heartily.

Yang Tian nodded slightly. With this supreme treasure protecting her, unless a Cave Heaven expert intervened, no one could stop the two of them.

He pondered for a moment, then took out a small bottle of Tianyang Divine Liquid. Meng Yunxi, Qing Yuan... these friends of Yang Tian urgently needed to improve their cultivation, so he naturally wouldn't be stingy.

"Farewell, Senior. We'll be obedient." The two little ones glanced at the smiling Yang Tian and nodded reluctantly. In their hearts, the person their master trusted was the one they trusted most.

"Cultivate well, and don't cause trouble." Yang Tian also put on the tone of a master, saying with a smile.

Watching their departing figures following Yu Yao, Yang Tian sighed in relief and murmured, "Xiao Zi can actually use such a terrifying treasure. Xiao Jin is probably extraordinary too. It seems the Divine Turtle's judgment was very accurate."

At this moment, Luo Hao asked a question that left the Grand Elder stunned.

"Um, where is the mortal's latrine?" Grabbing a young maid, the Grand Elder said.

"Ah..." The silver-clad woman was first startled, then said in surprise, "There are many in the mortal district..."
