Chapter 817: Blue Dust

The primeval forest was in turmoil. Ever since the Great Wilderness was opened by the White-clothed Supreme, there was not a moment of peace within. Experts from all directions rushed toward the Great Wilderness.

This was a region split off from the Primordial Era. Now that the secret realms before the Great Cataclysm were emerging, the secret realms within the Great Wilderness surpassed those outside. How could the various races allow the human race to obtain such great fortune?

The Five Villages Temple had opened, revealing countless treasures, and even innate spiritual roots and innate divine objects had emerged. These two things completely inflamed the envy of all races.

Various great sects also sought to conquer the Tianyang Continent, for the essence of heaven and earth there was beginning to recover, suitable for the cultivation of their disciples. Such a precious land would not be abandoned by the great sects.

Although gods and demons had emerged, the foundations of the major superpowers were deep. Moreover, the shackles of heaven and earth had been lifted, and the world was being reenacted. Great divine ability cultivators would also emerge, leading to a scene of ten thousand races contending for supremacy!

Resources, treasures, fortune—all were targets of the various races' schemes. Even divine beast families that had lain dormant in one region emerged. This was not comparable to the East Sea Divine Mountain; divine beasts had always been the noblest beings. This era was destined to be extraordinarily tumultuous!

The big black bear charged through the forest in great excitement. The creatures that had been neighbors with the black bear for thousands of years all revealed their eyes, watching this fellow's excited state, utterly baffled.

"Senior, ahead is the place." When he saw an ancient city rising on the horizon, the big black bear said excitedly. Once he had only glimpsed it from afar; he never thought he could enter it now.

Hearing this, Yang Tian nodded slightly. The ancient city dominated a hundred thousand li; such a scope was extremely rare in the Tianyang Continent. Moreover, the walls were densely covered with patterns, clearly guarded by powerful formations.

"I wonder how Fatty, Xiao Ji, and Tian He are doing?" At this moment, Yang Tian was worried about the three of them. When Yuan Xia had rushed over, they had also dashed over. If the Third Hall Master caught them, it would be disastrous.

Just as he was pondering, a powerful fluctuation descended from the sky. It was a great spear gleaming with silver light, its tip emitting a cold, piercing aura and releasing a fierce energy as it struck.

The big black bear trembled all over. This fellow lay directly on the ground, crawling on all fours, adopting a submissive posture.

Last time, the big black bear had merely glanced here a few times, and someone had attacked, intending to kill him and take his skin and bones to refine artifacts. Fortunately, he had fled quickly, or he would have lost his life.

He later inquired about these people; they were all experts who hunted demonic beasts, roaming only the outer areas. The interior was extremely dangerous, and these experts dared not venture deep.

The great spear shot down. A smile flickered in Yang Tian's eyes. His palm moved slightly, like rain striking banana leaves, changing in a thousand ways. When the scene shifted again, the great spear was already immobilized in the void.

The big black bear was squinting at the commotion above. When he noticed Yang Tian had immobilized the spear, this fellow immediately stood up imposingly, no trace of his earlier dejection. He puffed out his chest, looking like an unparalleled master.

"Shatter!" Yang Tian said with a faint smile. The mighty force surging from his palm twisted slightly, and suddenly a terrifying power erupted.

"Fellow Daoist, wait!" The old man hidden in the void was greatly alarmed. He had not expected this person to be so terrifying; with a single palm, he had immobilized the void, and even his body could not move.

Hearing this, Yang Tian did not reduce the energy emanating from his palm. This old man was a Great Power. Fortunately, Yang Tian's cultivation was profound, or he would have been done for. He would not let him off easily.

With a bang, under the big black bear's shocked gaze, the great spear suddenly trembled, its shaft began to crack, and finally exploded with a crash, sending iron fragments flying.

"So fierce!" the big black bear screamed inwardly. The palm strike just now was too terrifying; with one move, it shattered a great weapon.

"What a waste! If only it were given to me," the big black bear said, his face scrunching up in pain. Such a fine artifact destroyed—what a waste.

"Pfft..." The old man hidden in the void trembled all over, his face flushed. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly weakened, looking withered and feeble, making the big black bear shudder.

When the old man had attacked earlier, he had made the big black bear tremble; he must have been extremely powerful. Yet now Yang Tian had defeated him in one move. The big black bear felt that the person he was following was probably an extraordinary figure.

"Bastard!" The old man was furious. His hair and beard bristled as he stared at the fragments on the ground, nearly coughing up blood. This was a great killing weapon, and now it was destroyed.

"Old man, why don't you kneel and admit your mistake? Or else I'll skin you alive!" The big black bear was full of swagger, pacing around the old man, uttering arrogant words.

Hearing this, Yang Tian was speechless. This black bear, once he had some backing, could get carried away—just like Big Tiger.

"Kneel and admit my mistake?" The old man's eyes bulged. This was an utter disgrace. He leaped with rage, roaring, "Shameless brat, if you offend me, don't think you can leave!"

"Old man, do you believe I'll slap you into a meat patty and make meat buns out of you?" The big black bear was full of contempt, extremely arrogant.

The old man said nothing, his cold eyes fixed on the big black bear as if looking at a corpse.

Seeing this, Yang Tian stroked his chin. He then looked up at the void. Ahead, a jade gourd shot down, and on top of the gourd stood three powerful figures.

The leader was a young man, twenty-five or twenty-six, with a steady aura and divine light shining in his eyes. He was clearly no ordinary person. The two old men behind him seemed to defer to him.

"Young master, the artifact you bestowed upon your servant was destroyed by him. Young master, please avenge your servant!" The old man, seeing the arrivals, burst into tears, speaking with great bitterness.

"Young master?" The big black bear was startled. He felt they had run into a tough opponent. A Great Power calling someone 'young master'—how powerful must that person be?

Hearing this, the young man's eyes fell on Yang Tian. His blue robes fluttered, and his body, which had been standing on the jade gourd, appeared on the ground in a very uncanny manner, like an immortal, quite extraordinary.

"This movement technique is somewhat peculiar." Seeing the blue-clad young man's casual display, Yang Tian thought to himself. The speed just now was very fast; this young man was not simple.

The blue-clad young man also sized up Yang Tian. A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. This person's aura was unfathomable, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to merge with him, giving an unshakable feeling.

"Who is this person? So young, yet he has comprehended the power of rules." The blue-clad young man was amazed. This man was a few years younger than him and was certainly no ordinary person.

Though the blue-clad young man thought this, his hands did not stop. Since this man had injured his servant, he had to exchange at least one move to test the other's depth.

The blue-clad young man rotated his wrist, and suddenly cold energy radiated from his palm, like ice crystals or divine swords, sending chills down one's spine, very eerie.

"Cold Ice Mysterious Palm! Haha, the young master is angry. This kid is finished, finished!" The old man roared inwardly. This was his young master's ultimate technique; once used, it was terrifying.

The big black bear's arrogant aura instantly faded. This fellow became limp again, no trace of his earlier domineering demeanor—clearly a coward.

"Fellow Daoist, take this move." Seeing Yang Tian unmoved, the blue-clad young man couldn't help but remind him, then suddenly pushed his palm forward, like a volcanic eruption.

Cold energy surged, freezing the void, then cracking it. The ice crystals that had emerged from his palm suddenly expanded, like divine weapons emerging, bone-chilling cold, causing dread.

"This martial technique is rather rare." Sensing the formidable cold energy, Yang Tian murmured to himself.

Then, starlight radiated from Yang Tian's fist, golden blood energy surged, rising like smoke, and he struck toward the storm of ice crystals ahead.

Rumble! The collision shook the heavens, causing the sky and earth to tremble. Two terrifying domains intertwined, the earth cracking and spreading rapidly in all directions.

Countless ancient trees toppled, the surroundings leveled. A hint of surprise flickered in the blue-clad young man's eyes, then his palms crossed, unleashing an even more terrifying attack than before.

"Haha, the young master has used the Cold Ice Divine Palm! This kid is finished!" The old man began to roar, looking at Yang Tian as if he were a corpse.

The big black bear also felt this move was extremely terrifying, wanting to sneak away. But when he saw Yang Tian still calm, he suppressed the thought.
