Chapter 818: Tianshui City

Sensing this nearly doubled increase in power, Yang Tian was extremely surprised and muttered to himself, 'It seems the level of cultivation in the Great Wilderness is far higher than the outside world. This young man is already very strong.'

Even so, Yang Tian remained composed. His palm instantly turned the color of colored glaze, and a scorching wave suddenly spread out.

His entire hand became terrifyingly powerful, divine flames curling as they tore through the void, cracks advancing rapidly toward the sky.

Sensing this might, the blue-clad youth's expression changed slightly. This fluctuation made his heart tremble—something that had never happened before.

'Take another move from me!' Though wary, the blue-clad youth had no fear, his voice echoing throughout the area.

'Very well.' Yang Tian smiled, and the fluctuation in his palm instantly dissipated.

'How is this possible? How can this be?' The old man who had been injured by Yang Tian found it unbelievable. His young master had conceded without even clashing—he could hardly believe it.

The two servants behind the blue-clad youth also found it incredible. Their young master was a formidable figure; dealing with a mere brat should have been a piece of cake.

Suddenly, a great roar erupted from within the blue-clad youth, like a divine dragon bellowing. His entire body burst with dazzling divine light, blinding and brilliant.

He became like a block of profound ice, erupting with fierce cold that began to freeze everything around.

'Not good, it's the Ice Seal of Infinity!' The three servants cried out in alarm, then abruptly retreated, their faces filled with terror. This was their young master's trump card, extremely fearsome.

Seeing their reaction, the big black bear didn't hesitate. With a whoosh, he vanished, afraid of being frozen to death.

The blue-clad youth stood like a river of ice and snow, suspended in the air, his body unleashing terrifying cold that surged outward.

'Interesting. It seems his constitution is very special.' Yang Tian smiled at the sight.

Seeing the encroaching ice, Yang Tian stepped forward. The golden sea of qi within him trembled, his blood energy surging like a divine demon emerging, erupting with ten thousand feet of golden light!

'Break!' Yang Tian shouted softly. His supremely strong and dominant blood energy burst forth like a great wave, scorching hot, each strand generating boundless force.

The scene became a frozen kingdom, with overwhelming cold that made one shiver. Everything was frozen, even time nearly halted—extremely terrifying.

However, when a golden wave began to sweep through, large cracks rapidly spread in all directions, quickly overwhelming the frozen kingdom.

'Shatter!' Yang Tian cried out. His blood energy surged to the heavens, the single syllable containing the sound of the Dao, like a god roaring, shaking heaven and earth, causing mountains to collapse.

With a boom, the entire frozen kingdom exploded. The blue-clad youth tumbled out, his feet rapidly treading air, retreating five steps before stabilizing.

'So strong!' The blue-clad youth's eyes flashed with shock. He had felt as if facing a furnace; the blood energy was not only scorching but also indomitably firm, and his frozen kingdom could not suppress it.

'How is this possible!' The three servants shrieked. This move was extremely fearsome—the blue-clad youth had once used it to freeze an entire major power, its divine might terrifying.

'I am Lan Chen. Thank you for your guidance, friend.' Lan Chen took a deep breath and cupped his hands. At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the saying, 'There is always a sky beyond the sky, and people beyond the people.' This man, younger than himself, was unfathomable!

'I am Yang Tian. You flatter me, Brother Lan.' Yang Tian returned the gesture. As a newcomer, making a friend was not a bad idea, and this person's character seemed worth befriending.

Seeing Yang Tian's demeanor, Lan Chen was delighted. This man did not have the arrogant attitude of a victor. He immediately sent a few words to his servants via telepathy to learn the full story.

'My apologies just now. I, along with my servant, offer our apologies to Brother Yang.' With a hint of embarrassment, Lan Chen said softly.

'Heh, it's nothing. Brother Lan need not be so polite.' Yang Tian nodded.

'By the way, Brother Yang, is this your first time in the Misty Forest?' Lan Chen now wore a full smile, changing the subject warmly.

'Oh, how did Brother Lan know?' Yang Tian was puzzled. His accent was that of the Great Wilderness; could the other tell he was an outsider?

'Currently, a large auction is being held in Tianshui City, with many experts attending. Given Brother Yang's cultivation, you should go and have a look. That's how I figured it out.' Lan Chen said with a smile.

'I see.' Yang Tian rubbed his nose and nodded slightly.

'An auction? Is it fun?' The big black bear suddenly popped out, looking eager. He had attended some before, but they were low-class. He had heard that large human auctions were really impressive.

'Fun?' Lan Chen's eyes showed a hint of speechlessness, then he smiled. 'Brother Yang, are you interested? Why not attend this auction?'

After a moment's thought, Yang Tian nodded. He could learn about the situation here from the auction.

The old man who had been injured by Yang Tian was full of frustration. He hadn't expected this person to be so terrifying, and couldn't help but shiver, thinking how it might have ended if Lan Chen hadn't arrived in time.

The big black bear squinted at the old man, his nose in the air, sending provocative signals: 'See if you dare mess with me now.'

Sensing this gaze, the old man itched with anger but dared not pick a fight, as this was Lan Chen's newfound friend.

As Tianshui City drew near, Yang Tian's eyes fell on the ancient runes carved into the walls, a hint of surprise in his gaze. Though not well-versed in formations, he knew a thing or two.

These runes had been carved there for many years, but their emanating power was not weak. Moreover, the entire city was inscribed with runes; if activated, their might would be enough to make even old monsters of the Cave Heaven realm change color.

'No wonder this is a land left from the ancient times. Even the Dao of formations here far surpasses that of the Tianyang Continent.' Yang Tian sighed inwardly. 'Yun'er inherited the legacy of the Array Sect but hadn't even comprehended a fraction before encountering this calamity.'

At the gate of Tianshui City stood many guards in silver armor, their auras fierce, no ordinary men. They carried the scent of blood, clearly seasoned killers.

People entering and exiting were quite fearful of these guards, behaving themselves and not daring to make a fuss.

But when Lan Chen approached, the crowd stirred, whispering in awe and showing reverence.

'So it's Young Master Lan. Please, come in.' The leading guard, seeing him, dispelled his fierce aura, becoming as docile as a kitten, bowing respectfully.

Lan Chen nodded slightly. Under the respectful gazes of the crowd, the group entered the city.

'Strange, why is there such an ugly big black bear beside Young Master Lan? And it looks a bit lecherous?' The guard leader watched them enter, puzzled when he saw the big black bear.

The big black bear was very smug, enjoying the respectful looks while ogling the female cultivators in line with lecherous eyes, eager to pounce on them.

'Beautiful, truly beautiful. Look at that skin, so smooth.' The big black bear's drool nearly flowed, his eyes glowing red.

'Where did that disgusting big black bear come from?' The female cultivator, whose thighs he had been staring at, felt a chill of disgust, wanting to drag him out and beat him up.

Hearing the murmurs, Yang Tian raised an eyebrow and barked, 'You behave yourself! If you don't, I'll throw you back to your den!'

Hearing this, the big black bear's ears perked up. With his wide face, small ears, and eyes like copper bells, he instantly calmed down, obediently lowering his head and following the group, muttering, 'I'm not going back to that crappy place. It's great here, lots of beauties. Maybe one will take a liking to me, and then I'll have fun every day.'

Hearing this muttering, Yang Tian couldn't help but shudder. This guy was uglier than Big Tiger. If anyone took a liking to him, they'd have to be blind...
