"Bang..."
Yun Xiaoxi casually threw Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe to the ground, causing them to cry out in pain.
Unfortunately, neither of them dared to complain. Although Yun Xiaoxi was somewhat violent, she had just saved their lives a few moments ago.
Ye Yang's injuries were not too severe; he was merely exhausted from the depletion of True Qi.
He stood up, leaning on the Breaking Flame Sword, and staggered over to Zhang Tianhe to check on him. Zhang Tianhe's injuries were surprisingly serious; his left arm was nearly broken from a blow by the Azure Bull, and after battling the Earth Scorpion Swarm, his legs were covered in wounds from poisonous stings, looking quite horrific.
"Tianhe, how do you feel?" Ye Yang asked with concern as he helped his friend up.
Zhang Tianhe spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with helplessness as he smiled and said, "The Earth Scorpion Swarm is really powerful; I almost lost my life!"
Ye Yang nodded, spreading his fingers to guide the last bit of Fire God Fragment True Qi within him. "I'll help you expel the Earth Scorpion's venom!"
"Okay!"
The two sat on the grass, surrounded by a haze of True Qi.
Not far away, Yun Xiaoxi stood gracefully on a branch of a pine tree, her clothes fluttering in the wind. Her beautiful face showed no emotion as she looked at the two, snorted lightly, and then floated away.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Tianhe pondered for a moment before exhaling a breath of foul air. His clothes were covered in green Earth Scorpion venom, indicating that the toxins in his body had mostly been cleared.
Zhang Tianhe turned around only to find Ye Yang lying on the ground, completely motionless!
"Zi Yu!"
Zhang Tianhe was startled, thinking that Ye Yang had already exhausted his True Qi and died. He reached out to push him, only to find Ye Yang lazily moving and saying, "Don't shout, let me sleep a little longer..."
"Haha... Haha!"
Zhang Tianhe couldn't help but laugh. Looking at Ye Yang, he noticed that his hair and clothes were covered in dew. It was already morning; the night had passed in the blink of an eye, and Yun Xiaoxi was nowhere to be found.
Ye Yang lay on the grass, his body stretched out, immersed in a state of complete relaxation. He allowed the True Qi within him to flow naturally, merging his mind with nature. The elements of life from the earth, mountains, and rivers slowly flowed into his body, becoming the newly born Fire God Fragment True Qi.
In the Earth Realm, strong individuals draw power from the land, while Ye Yang's flame power came from various heat sources on the ground. Whether it was Fate Fire Slash or Fire God Warrior Transformation, both were attacks that consumed considerable physical strength and True Qi. Thus, since entering the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, Ye Yang had become increasingly drowsy, wishing he could sleep for three days and nights.
Zhang Tianhe could even clearly sense the continuous flow of elemental power entering Ye Yang's body. While amazed, he did not wake Ye Yang but instead took out a piece of dried beef from his pocket and began to chew it vigorously with his water pouch. Compared to Ye Yang's miraculous physique, Zhang Tianhe needed food to awaken the power within him.
As a disciple of Beast God Valley, he naturally possessed extraordinary qualities. In just one day, Zhang Tianhe's wounds had healed and scabbed over significantly. His True Qi was already abundant, and his recovery ability was terrifyingly strong—much greater than Ye Yang's recovery. In fact, Zhang Tianhe sensed that after experiencing life-and-death battles, his strength had undergone a qualitative leap!
Clenching his fist and channeling True Qi, a deep azure light suddenly appeared around his fist!
Indeed, he had reached the Peak of Earth Level Eight!
After an exhilarating battle, Zhang Tianhe had advanced from the initial stage of Earth Level Eight to the Peak of Earth Level Eight. This speed of advancement was unimaginable for ordinary people. Take Lord Pang Jing of Liang City as an example; despite possessing Peak of Earth Level Eight strength for ten years, he still hadn't broken through to Earth Level Nine—completely incomparable to Zhang Tianhe's rate of improvement.
"My master was right..."
Zhang Tianhe sighed inwardly. When leaving the valley, his mentor in Beast God Valley had said that after being infused with Beast God's Divine Power, his body was extraordinary. As long as he practiced diligently, stepping into Stellar Realm within five years would be no problem at all. In fact, throughout history, no disciple of Beast God Valley had failed to reach Stellar Realm; this innate talent was unmatched by others.
Looking at the slight bulge on his wrist, Zhang Tianhe couldn't help but frown; the beast bone had finally appeared!
Tightening his iron fist, Zhang Tianhe murmured: "Beast bone, let us slay demons together!"
As he spoke, Zhang Tianhe glanced at Ye Yang and couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder. If his rapid advancement was due to the Beast God infusing him with Divine Power and altering his bones, then how could Ye Yang have cultivated to Earth Level Eight in such a short time? Did Ye Yang also have some unknown secret behind him?
His gaze fell on the two swords behind Ye Yang. One was the Breaking Flame Sword, Ye Yang's sword, while the other was an ancient long sword, rusted and never drawn, filled with mystery and always by his side.
"Could Zi Yu's growth be related to that sword?" Zhang Tianhe stared at the Haotian Sword, lost in thought.
At that moment, Ye Yang slowly awakened, opening his eyes. His deep black eyes revealed a lazy expression, but a flash of divine light clearly indicated to Zhang Tianhe that after this battle, Ye Yang had made significant progress in his cultivation!
Looking around, Ye Yang sat cross-legged and smiled, "Tianhe, where's that little girl Yun Xiaoxi?"
"I don't know..."
Zhang Tianhe shook his head and chuckled, "She probably encountered some interesting magical beasts and went off to play..."
"Haha!"
In Reincarnation Valley, at the end.
A vast expanse unfolded before them, with giant beasts soaring through the sky, surrounded by flames as they continuously clashed around a single point. These were none other than the guardians of the Dragon Abyss—Ninth-Order Beast Fire-Absorbing Dragons!
The Fire-Devouring Dragons were low-level dragons, a product of the mating between dragons and lizards. They possessed wings and were mysteriously summoned from deep within the Dragon Abyss, flying thousands of miles from the west to become guardians of the outer perimeter of the Dragon Abyss.
At this moment, more than twenty Fire-Devouring Dragons were engaged in a fierce battle, charging together at a small point in the sky!
Upon closer inspection, it became evident that the small point attracting the attacking dragons was a beautiful young girl, wielding a long sword, surrounded by shimmering starlight, her skirt armor fluttering, breathtakingly beautiful.
With a hint of blush on her face, this ethereal girl spread her five fingers, and the starlight coalesced into a vortex, instantly forming an incredibly powerful storm!
“Starburst!”
Accompanied by a soft shout, her petite figure suddenly unleashed a domain-level attack. A swirling storm of starlight erupted in the air, engulfing seven or eight Fire-Devouring Dragons within it!
“Boom!”
The explosive energy of the attack unleashed its destructive power upon the Fire-Devouring Dragons. Amidst the anguished cries of “Roar!” from the dragons, those Ninth-Order Beast Fire-Absorbing Dragons were utterly unable to resist. Their resilient Scale Armor was torn to shreds, bones and flesh shattered, quickly turning into piles of minced meat.
The girl’s attack did not stop there; with a sweep of her Blade, starlight soared from the Sharp Sword as a silver lion-headed energy instantly condensed, revealing the sword technique known as Raging Sword Roar!
“Boom!”
The sword energy cascaded down and exploded once more, tearing four Fire-Devouring Dragons to pieces under the impact of Raging Sword Roar.
The sky fell silent. In an instant, only the beautiful girl remained floating in mid-air, her gaze lowered towards the deep Dragon Abyss. She bit her lip, her enchanting eyes filled with longing: “Oh dear, Master said not to recklessly enter Dragon Abyss... but I really want to go in and take a look. What should I do? Should I go or not?”
