Chapter 235: Zhao Yang Provokes Hatred
The Heavenly Tree radiated divinity; it was the deity of the demon race, a symbol of their kind. At this moment, it pierced through the heavens, soaring into the clouds, captivating all who gazed upon it.
As Zhao Yang flew through the air, he knocked down one Demon Clan Youth after another. The Demon Clan Youths were furious, unleashing a barrage of magical artifacts and Flying Swords at Zhao Yang. He laughed, dodging all of them effortlessly while soaring around, causing the magical artifacts to strike down one Demon Clan Youth after another, sending them crashing to the ground. However, they had no fear for their lives; after all, Demon Cultivators could fly, and many of them transformed into beast forms upon landing—some into fierce tigers, others into purple martens or spotted deer.
They roared angrily at the boy who had ascended to the clouds, their eyes filled with rage. This foreigner's cultivation method was truly beyond comprehension.
Bai Yuntian chuckled as he finally spotted a shuttle-shaped magical artifact among the countless treasures. His eyes gleamed with golden light as the shuttle-shaped artifact immediately altered its trajectory, aiming for the back of Zhao Yang's head. Zhao Yang sensed movement behind him and turned just in time to catch this immensely powerful shuttle-shaped artifact between his hands. But that wasn't the end; he heard another strange sound from behind him and turned again, only to see another shuttle-shaped artifact shooting toward him. This one suddenly transformed into a missile shape as it approached, startling Zhao Yang.
The shuttle-shaped artifact resembled a missile closely enough that Zhao Yang instinctively dodged to the side, thinking for a moment that modern technology had fired at him. No one would think to catch a missile upon seeing it for the first time.
However, just as Zhao Yang moved aside, another shuttle-shaped artifact came from below. He thought to himself that this person was truly a genius; they must have figured out his movement trajectory in such a short time. Just as he was about to react, yet another shuttle-shaped artifact flew toward him, and he happened to see Bai Yuntian's actions.
Suddenly—
Zhao Yang felt a sharp pain as one of the artifacts grazed his cheek, leaving a distinct red mark on his face.
Before he could even get angry or retaliate, a terrifying aura surged toward him—not aimed at him but at Bai Yuntian beside him.
Bai Yuntian's face showed a hint of panic as he exclaimed, "Sister, what are you doing? You can't use power beyond the Divine Transformation Stage against me in a fight among peers!"
Bai Xi snorted angrily and retorted, "Why did you have to cut his face?"
Bai Yuntian felt frustrated; it seemed Bai Xi was concerned for Zhao Yang. Zhao Yang was already handsome, and now with his cheek cut open, it truly pained the heart of any infatuated girl—ruining his original beauty. Suddenly, dozens of feathers appeared behind Bai Xi; they were the feathers of her true form—a Azure Bird.
The Azure Phoenix's descendants were indeed Azure Birds; there was no doubt about that. However, this young woman was unique; she also possessed the bloodline of the Demon Empress. Thus, her aura inherently suppressed ordinary demons. Although Bai Yuntian was also a direct descendant of the Demon Emperor Clan, he still fell short compared to Bai Xi. Being in the mid-stage of Transcendence only added to his disadvantage against her cultivation level; thus, he could only passively endure her attacks.
Dozens of feathers shot forth, and behind Bai Yuntian, a white crane appeared. He quickly retreated to dodge the feather attacks, but one feather, imbued with overwhelming power, pierced through the clouds and aimed straight for Bai Yuntian's forehead without any pause, moving at an incredible speed. Several other feathers followed different trajectories, all targeting Bai Yuntian's sides, leaving him with no place to escape.
"Lord Demon Empress, Princess Bai Xi wants to kill me over a Pretty Boy! Help!" Bai Yuntian shouted desperately, slandering Bai Xi in the process.
"Hmph!" Bai Xi let out a light snort and said, "You dare to speak of me like that? Let's see if I can spare you!"
Countless chain-like feathers shot toward him, terrifying like snakes, swirling gracefully. They looked beautiful but were extremely perilous.
Bai Yuntian felt a surge of anger. He cut his palm open and gripped a golden shuttle tightly in his hand. He slashed the shuttle through the air, causing a crack to appear in the void. At that critical moment, he dove into it and reemerged behind Zhao Yang.
"You Pretty Boy actually manipulated Sister Bai Xi into using her true feather power against me! If it weren't for my Sky-penetrating Shuttle, I would have been dead!" Bai Yuntian raged as he vented his frustration on Zhao Yang.
The Sky-penetrating Shuttle was a Supreme Dao Artifact, a treasure of the demon race specifically crafted to protect their top-tier geniuses. It was both an offensive and life-saving artifact that granted its wielder the ability to traverse the void. The higher one's cultivation level, the farther one could travel; however, it was also very dangerous.
This was because turbulence existed in the void; if a cultivator was not careful, they could be swept into it and torn apart. Thus, the Sky-penetrating Shuttle was rarely used for traversing the void unless absolutely necessary. The void was not merely another plane of existence; it was an alternate space filled with unknowns—chaotic currents roamed freely within it, disorder reigned supreme, and darkness prevailed. No one wanted to linger in the void for too long.
Bai Xi unleashed her feathers, a unique skill of the Avian Clan. However, she did not intend to kill Bai Yuntian; rather, she aimed to teach him a lesson. After all, Bai Yuntian was quite the troublemaker himself. Relying on the power of the Sky-penetrating Shuttle, he had dared to challenge powerful demons and infuriated them to no end. The Demon Empress and the priests were unwilling to intervene in such matters; thus, Bai Yuntian grew increasingly unruly. Apart from Bai Xi herself, no one else could rein him in.
With a loud shout, Bai Yuntian swung his fist toward Zhao Yang's neck. Zhao Yang merely smiled lightly and remained still as Crimson Gold Characters appeared on his body.
Crack!
A scream echoed through the air—not from Zhao Yang but from Bai Yuntian himself. Clutching his hand in pain, he pointed at Zhao Yang and exclaimed, "You... are you made of iron? No, even iron isn't this hard!"
The defensive edge of the Imperial Scripture had allowed Zhao Yang to withstand attacks from opponents two realms higher than him when he was still at the Foundation Establishment Stage. What more could be said about attacks at the same level? Few could surpass him with mere fists alone. During his time at Xuanfo Temple, he had undergone rigorous training day and night under the Four Divine Monks in the Forbidden Technique Room, engaging in intense hand-to-hand combat that had honed his Diamond Strength and forged his indestructible body.
If it weren't for encountering so many individuals with higher cultivation levels on Heavenly Mechanism Mountain, Zhao Yang would not have suffered such a crushing defeat, nearly being killed by the Central Sovereign. However, he indeed instilled fear in many, for with Zhao Yang's talent, it was clear that once he grew stronger, he would be invincible. He was a genius capable of challenging others beyond his level, and once he matured, who could stand against him?
Bai Yuntian was on the verge of tears from the pain because his fist had actually been broken by Zhao Yang's cervical vertebrae!
He felt a hundred thousand frustrations in his heart. He was a top genius of the demon race, yet after training for so long, he still couldn't surpass a grinning Pretty Boy. It was known that with the Sky-penetrating Shuttle, he had destroyed countless medicinal fields of powerful demons. Growing up on spiritual herbs, his body had become increasingly robust. As a demon, his physique was far superior to that of humans, and with various body-enhancing Demonic Arts and protective talismans to increase his defense, he had worked hard without fail. It felt so unfair that he couldn't even defeat a human brat, even if he was one of the Extraordinary Individuals saved by the Demon Empress.
Zhao Yang stared at Bai Yuntian and said, "Kid, do you want me to hit you again while we're at it?"
Bai Yuntian was furious and pointed at Zhao Yang, exclaiming, "Who are you calling 'Kid'?!"
"I'm calling you 'Kid'!" Zhao Yang replied without an ounce of fear.
"Say it again if you dare!" Bai Yuntian glared fiercely at Zhao Yang.
"Kid, kid, your whole family are kids!"
"Hey, I'm coming for you!" Bai Yuntian rushed towards Zhao Yang, wielding the Sky-penetrating Shuttle which carved several lines through the void, severing pieces of space and aligning the rifts towards Zhao Yang. Zhao Yang felt a chill run down his spine; the Sky-penetrating Shuttle could attract Void Turbulence, something no human could withstand. He quickly dodged.
Seeing this, Bai Yuntian smirked and said, "If you're capable, then don't run!"
Zhao Yang crossed his arms over his chest and replied, "A kid is just a kid; do you think fighting is child's play? If I didn't know you had no intention to kill me as a demon, you'd already be dead."
Bai Yuntian sneered back at him. "I want to see how you plan to make me die!"
With a roar, Bai Yuntian let out a crane cry. Behind him manifested a massive celestial crane that looked incredibly magnificent and astonishing. Its wings were pure white and radiated divine light; it appeared stunningly beautiful. However, its gaze revealed arrogance. This was the totem summoned by Bai Yuntian; its manifestation behind him would double his attack power and greatly enhance his Combat Power.
With a powerful punch, Zhao Yang intercepted Bai Yuntian's fist.
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed through the air as Bai Yuntian was sent flying three steps back. A hint of confusion flickered in his eyes. He knew how extraordinary the boy from Zhongzhou, who had provoked the Central Sovereign, was. Possessing the power of rules, he was a dominating presence over all cultivation methods.
Because of this, Bai Yuntian had used his Crane Totem when he struck, transforming his original power into magical damage. Yet, to his surprise, Zhao Yang was still able to withstand it effortlessly.
Could it be that this boy was truly the perfect being as rumored? Not only versatile but also the best in every aspect? This was undoubtedly a maddening realization.
At that moment, a group of Demon Clan Youth charged in from below once again. They unleashed countless magical artifacts and Flying Swords, numbering in the tens of thousands. This was a coordinated attack they had secretly planned while Bai Yuntian and Zhao Yang were engaged in battle. The sky was filled with a rain of magical artifacts coming from all directions, all aimed at Zhao Yang—like a swarm of bees, there were easily tens of thousands.
"Damn it!" Bai Yuntian exclaimed in shock as he covered his head and fled, using his Sky-penetrating Shuttle to tear through the void as he dove inside.
Bai Xi also showed signs of panic. Although she was a master at the Nascent Soul Stage, facing such an onslaught of magical artifacts meant that resisting would only lead to certain death. The artifacts were densely packed, almost forming a solid sphere that contracted inward. Once closed, even without considering the various powers of those artifacts, it could crush a powerful being to death.
"Are you looking for death?!" Bai Xi shouted angrily. She couldn't understand why Zhao Yang attracted so much hatred, forcing the Demon Clan Youth to unite against him. Such an extravagant array of magical artifacts was equivalent to an army of one hundred thousand cultivators. Without any massive area-of-effect skills, fighting them one by one would lead to exhaustion or worse.
