Chapter 831: Making a Move

Gao Yingjie being suppressed was something he had never anticipated. Everything had been meticulously planned, yet he never expected the Heavenly Demon Pavilion to have already laid a backup plan.

"I hate this..." He roared in unwillingness, but could only watch helplessly as the Void Ring was taken by Yao Xuan, nearly spitting blood in rage.

This item had been obtained by Yin and Yang Elders at the cost of their entire fortune, and now it was being snatched away like this—he was extremely unwilling.

"Hahaha..." With a burning gaze fixed on the fragmentary map in his hand, Yao Xuan laughed wildly. Obtaining it without spending a single coin was like a pie falling from the sky.

"Congratulations, Young Master!" The old crone quickly flattered with a smile, her face full of surprise and delight. With this item, her status would also rise.

"Isn't it too early to celebrate?" Suddenly, a faint voice sounded, causing their minds to tense up sharply.

"Who?" Yao Xuan's heart trembled violently, his expression turning ugly. Could it be that someone else had been watching from the sidelines?

"A passerby." Yang Tian deliberately altered his voice, fearing he might bring trouble to Lan Chen, given their acquaintance. If Yao Xuan recognized him, the Profound Desert Pavilion would be thrust into the spotlight again.

"I am Yao Xuan of the Heavenly Demon Pavilion. Please show yourself, sir." Yao Xuan shouted sternly, his eyes frantically scanning the surroundings, yet he could not find where the person was hiding.

"Damn it, could it be an old monster from another force?" Yao Xuan's heart sank, suddenly filled with a bad premonition.

"No need to meet. Just leave the Void Ring behind." Yang Tian's faint voice echoed throughout the area, making their expressions extremely ugly.

"Hahaha..." Gao Yingjie, who was being suppressed, couldn't help but laugh a few times. This was simply a savior. Even if this item was taken by someone else, it must never be taken away by Yao Xuan.

"Your tone is too arrogant, sir? The experts of my Heavenly Demon Pavilion are nearby. If you are not afraid of trouble, feel free to come and take it." Yao Xuan pretended to be nonchalant, but a jade talisman appeared in his hand.

"This place has been sealed. Don't waste your energy." Yang Tian's faint voice made Gao Yingjie's laughter even louder.

"Retribution... it's all retribution... haha..." He roared. If not for the Boundary Sealing Pearl earlier, he would have escaped long ago.

The old crone's face twisted hideously. She had just suffered a severe blow, and the strength of the hidden person was immeasurable. What were they to do now?

Just as the atmosphere reached its most oppressive point, a large earth-yellow hand suddenly swept across the sky, surging with powerful divine rules, striking down with deadly force.

"Not good!" The old crone was both shocked and enraged. The attacker was undoubtedly an Immortal expert, one who had comprehended rules. With a single move, he struck to kill, clearly knowing what was hidden in the Void Ring.

But her reaction was swift. She coughed up a mouthful of essence blood, within which a small red sword was concealed, and it shot toward the large hand.

With a loud bang, the two clashed, the void trembling from the impact. The small red sword was indeed fierce, managing to slice through the hand.

"Bastard, you are no Cave Heaven expert!" Realizing that the hand had been cut so easily, the old crone was both furious and overjoyed. As long as the opponent was not at that level, she was confident she could kill him.

"You're asking for death!" Yao Xuan's face turned ice-cold. His demonic energy surged wildly, his fierce aura shaking the heavens. He punched through the void, trying to blast open this area.

"Not a Cave Heaven expert, but enough to kill you." Yang Tian snorted.

"Arrogant brat, go home and drink your mother's milk!" The old crone sneered coldly. There was no comparison between Cave Heaven and Emperor Lord. Even if the opponent had comprehended rules, he couldn't unleash their full power.

With a boom, the world shook. Yao Xuan's punch seemed to hit cotton, the void merely twisting before returning to normal.

"Skulking rat, get out here!" Knowing that the man was not at the Cave Heaven level, Yao Xuan roared, dropping all pretense of humility and revealing his arrogant nature.

Who was he? He was the young master of the Heavenly Demon Pavilion, with cultivation reaching the heavens. Among his peers, he had never been defeated.

Just as his words fell, a young man slowly walked out. Yang Tian looked at the two with a faint smile. Having consumed the Six-Turn Heavenly Bone Pill, he wanted to test his own strength.

"Kill him!" Seeing how young the man was, the old crone grew even more furious. The fact that he had deceived her was unacceptable.

The small red sword shot out, its entire body blazing with dazzling red light. The sword suddenly became terrifying, piercing toward Yang Tian's brow.

Watching the incoming small sword, Yang Tian's hand flicked slightly, and a five-colored divine rainbow burst from his sleeve.

"Collect." Yang Tian said with a light laugh. The Heaven Mending Cauldron had undergone a transformation. Though it was still far from the merit treasure that Yan Long had mentioned, after refining fragments of the Heaven Mending Stone in recent days, it had grown stronger.

Under their stunned gazes, the small red sword was suddenly swept away by the five-colored divine rainbow, vanishing without a trace.

"How is this possible?" The old crone was utterly incredulous. This was her great killing weapon, and now she had lost all connection with it.

Yao Xuan also rubbed his eyes. The five-colored divine rainbow had flickered, and the old crone's artifact had been taken away. What was going on?

"Pfft..." Suddenly, the old crone trembled violently, spat blood, and her aura withered further, nearly fainting.

"Shameless brat!" The old crone was furious beyond measure. Her artifact had been destroyed—this was simply unbelievable.

Hearing this, Yang Tian's foot instantly appeared beside her. His fist blazed with starlight, his golden blood energy surging to the heavens, and he struck at the old crone's head.

"Get lost!" The old crone shouted angrily, but inwardly she was shocked. This punch was fierce and violent, extremely terrifying. Yao Xuan could never deliver such force.

She extended her hand and met Yang Tian's fist. Fist and palm collided, and both trembled.

"Hmm, without the treasure robe, a Cave Heaven expert's strike could injure me." Yang Tian murmured to himself. He hadn't worn the treasure robe just now, yet the old crone, even in her severely wounded state, could still shake him slightly—showing how fearsome this realm was.

With a boom, the sound of the Great Dao resonated within Yang Tian's body. Ten Dao Avatars sat cross-legged above his sea of qi, each unleashing a mighty punch.

The moment palm and fist met, a terrifying force suddenly surged from Yang Tian's fist, rushing into the old crone's body.

"Not good! Young Master, leave quickly!" Sensing the fluctuation, the old crone screamed desperately, while her body shook violently, nearly exploding.

With that punch, Yang Tian had used all his strength. The old crone could not withstand it and could barely rise now.

"Damn it..." Yao Xuan wanted to flee, but the entire area was sealed, with no way out.

"This... you forced me to do this." Seeing Yang Tian's gaze turn to him, Yao Xuan cried out venomously. His demonic energy began to change, a terrifying bloodline awakening, growing extremely powerful.

"Roar..." He roared to the sky, his black hair flying wildly. Yao Xuan's face twisted in agony as he endured immense pain.

But his body underwent a transformation. His entire form swelled to three zhang in height, like a small giant, with bulging veins and a sense of overwhelming power.

"Kill!" Yao Xuan's strength suddenly became terrifying, like a humanoid beast, as he lunged at Yang Tian.

"Heavenly Demon King Fist!" Yao Xuan roared. His fist was like a small mountain, erupting with monstrous demonic energy, like a river bursting its banks, aimed at Yang Tian's head.

Watching the incoming fist, Yang Tian clenched his hand. The golden sea of qi within him vibrated, causing the world to rumble and the sound of the Great Dao to ring out.

Boom, boom, boom! Yang Tian threw a punch, war qi roaring, bones cracking continuously, unleashing ten thousand jun of force in three consecutive blows.

He stood as immovable as a mountain, his strikes as swift as thunder. But after the third punch, Yao Xuan began to retreat. He felt as if his arm had exploded. Yang Tian's fist was not only fierce but also brimming with blazing blood energy.

"Haha, what a so-called young master." The big black bear had somehow sneaked in, grinning with a face full of smugness. Even the young master of the Heavenly Demon Pavilion had lost to Yang Tian.

"You..." Seeing an ugly big black bear mocking him, Yao Xuan nearly spat blood. He was a Heavenly Demon, and this black bear was nothing but an ant in his eyes.

"You're asking for death!" Yao Xuan roared, his hair flying wildly. His Heavenly Demon bloodline erupted, surging in all directions with a thunderous roar.

The big black bear's head shrank, and he scurried away in an instant, leaving behind a helpless expression. This guy was too cowardly, not even as bold as Big Tiger.
