Chapter 448: Chapter 449: One Ultimate Slash!
Yang Yan turned his back to Gu Bing.
"No problem, I know!"
His control over his physique was incredibly meticulous, and he could detect any anomaly within his body at the first moment.
"Earth Tribulation!"
The calamity of the Second Dragon Bone Transformation of the Ninth stage of Dragon Transformation descended upon him.
Earth Tribulation!
This tribulation was extremely strong, and even though his physique was an Emperor Body, it could not withstand being turned into mud.
"*What a mysterious power this is!*" Yang Yan was acutely aware of all the cellular changes within his body.
Now, within the strands of hair turned to mud, an invisible force was eroding his hair.
Weakening, aging, and then turning to mud, dripping down.
This scene changed, as if in spring the trees were lush and green, reaching towering heights in summer, withering in autumn, and finally decomposing into soil in winter, becoming dust.
"Master, is there any danger to your life?" Gu Bing asked with concern.
Yang Yan tilted his head slightly.
"No, come down with me!"
He leaped, jumping off Bai He’s head.
"Yes!"
After answering, Gu Bing was taken aback.
"*Why do I feel something’s wrong with myself, caring so much about others suddenly?*"
Realizing at this point, he was suddenly awake.
"*I really consider myself a servant!!!*"
After a few days of obedience, he had begun to think about Yang Yan’s safety!
Perfectly integrating into the identity of a servant!
"*I, the successor of the Ice Emperor, the future new Ice Emperor...*
Forget it!
If he hadn’t spared me, even the Ice Emperor’s legacy would have been taken from me!"
Gu Bing thought at this point.
"*This Heaven, repeatedly startling me.*
*I originally thought it wanted me to emerge, to ascend as a Great Emperor!*
*Now, thinking back, could it really be as the Master said, that it wants me to come out and acknowledge him as my master?*
*Damn this Heaven, it’s really playing me!*"
He jumped off Bai He’s head, feeling depressed, as Bai He’s body moved.
From the shape of a double-headed flood dragon, it transformed back to human shape!
Following behind Yang Yan, they entered Beizhou.
Before they had gone far, the void around them fluctuated.
"Who is it!" Bai He stood in front of Yang Yan, shouting toward the point of the void’s fluctuation.
Yang Yan raised his hand.
"Bai He, don’t make a move, that’s the pet I raised," he said.
Bai He lowered his guard and stepped back behind Yang Yan.
"Yes!"
In the darkness, the Mountain Piercing Escape that just emerged from the void was startled by the shout.
Only when Yang Yan spoke did it relax.
"Master, you’re back!" It jumped in front of Yang Yan, standing respectfully on its hind legs.
On its back, it carried a Stone Egg.
"Hello, Master!" Stone Egg cheerfully followed up with a greeting.
Given the state and appearance of the two of them,
it seemed their relationship had become much more harmonious in these recent days together.
"Hm, how have things been lately?" Yang Yan asked.
Mountain Piercing Escape grinned.
"Master, lately Stone Egg and I have struck it rich!
Look!
This is the treasure we stole together, and here’s the Divine Origin we found!"
It opened its hidden space in the void, showing all the treasures inside to Yang Yan.
"Yes, I’ve also obtained many treasures!" Stone Egg chimed in enthusiastically.
She took out a bunch of treasures and laid them before Yang Yan.
"Mountain Piercing Escape, didn’t you get hunted by the Evil Demon Sect for stealing these?" Yang Yan glanced over, noting that most of the treasures were indeed valuable.
However, there were still many odd items, such as a coffin emitting dank Yin Energy and decay!
Inside it could very well be the ancestor’s corpse of someone else!
And alongside it stood dozens of tombstones...
Even stealing the tombstones, that’s indeed a bit ruthless!
"Heh heh, Master, actually I didn’t dare to steal these at first, just worried about getting hunted.
But later a crazy woman appeared, who killed any disciple of the Evil Demon Sect she encountered, regardless of who they were!
This infuriated many sects of the Evil Demon Sect!
Prompting many Evil Demon Sect disciples to chase after her!
I took the opportunity to pilfer greatly!
Those sects of the Evil Demon Sect had no time to bother me!
It’s just a pity that the crazy woman was caught recently, leaving me no more opportunities!" Mountain Piercing Escape expressed regret at the end.
"Master, please make your selections!" it continued.
"Good, I’ll take some,"
Yang Yan now had numerous treasures on him, apart from those he received from the Ice Emperor refined by Gu Bing, there were also treasures from the Jiao Long Clan.
And there were two sets!
One set was given to him by the Jiao Dragon King, arranged by the clan’s flood dragons, and another set was used by the great sects and families of the Central Continent to exchange for Jiao Long Blood!
These treasures were priceless, enough for him to absorb and then break through another realm!
Of course!
Having these, he still needed the treasures and Divine Origin from Mountain Piercing Escape!
Because merely breaking through a realm was not enough, he wanted to cultivate to higher heights!
"Master, take whatever you want!" Mountain Piercing Escape generously said.
It understood Yang Yan, knowing he’d only take what he needed.
For treasures he didn’t need, he wouldn’t even glance at them!
Moreover, Yang Yan had high standards, unlike it, sweeping up both the good and the bad indiscriminately!
So in the end, there would still be plenty left, enough for its own use!
"Master, feel free to take mine too!" Stone Egg jumped next to it, saying excitedly.
"Alright."
Yang Yan took some needed treasures and Divine Origin and also gifted them some treasures he didn’t need.
"Thank you, Master." Stone Egg and Mountain Piercing Escape expressed their gratitude.
The treasures Yang Yan granted them were far more precious than what he took!
After showing their appreciation, they stowed away their treasures!
"Master, where are we going next, are we going back?"
"No, I have a task for you.
You and Bai He are to go to the Central Continent," Yang Yan said.
He assigned Bai He, Mountain Piercing Escape, and Stone Egg to go to the Central Continent first.
Following Xun Li’s words from that day, to search for Emperor Xianjiu’s tomb!
"Find Emperor Xianjiu’s tomb, even if there is the slightest hint, do not act.
Wait for me to come!" Yang Yan informed Mountain Piercing Escape about the matter of Emperor Xianjiu’s tomb and instructed it carefully.
"Master, I understand!" Mountain Piercing Escape responded excitedly.
Emperor’s Tomb!
"I’ve never dug up an emperor’s tomb before, this time I finally have a chance!"
It was thrilled!
"Bai He, you protect them!" Yang Yan then said.
"Master, you can rest assured, I will complete your arrangements!" Bai He replied.
Gu Bing felt a bit envious.
"Master, can I go?"
That was yet another Great Emperor’s legacy, he wanted to take a look!
"No, I have another important task for you!"
"Yes!"
Yang Yan’s orders were extremely important, and Gu Bing had to obey.
"Master, we’ll take our leave then!" Mountain Piercing Escape bowed.
Just as they were about to part, suddenly there was a blaze of fire in the distance.
Within the flames, countless fierce beast phantoms roared.
Soon after, all the fierce beast phantoms turned into a blade of light, slashing down.
This change drew the attention of Yang Yan, Mountain Piercing Escape, Bai He, and Gu Bing.
"Sword Intent!" Gu Bing said in a low voice.
Mountain Piercing Escape clicked its tongue.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that crazy woman is really amazing.
I once observed her from afar, and found she never actually cultivated martial arts!
Yet she managed to kill martial artists solely relying on the Root Bone she possessed!
Even those at the Dragon Transformation Realm struggled against her!
Now, even after being captured by the Evil Demon Sect, she managed to comprehend Sword Intent in an extreme situation.
Crafting a sword from the illusion and executing this ultimate strike!
Such a pity!
After this strike, that crazy woman’s end is inevitable!"
It shook its head as it spoke.
"Too persistent, saying she wants to eliminate all evil in the world!
No way it’s that easily done!
Even martial artists can’t accomplish that, let alone she, just an ordinary person!
Insisting on fighting to the death with martial artists of the Evil Demon Sect!
With such talent, wouldn’t it be better to cultivate properly!
Now she’s ended up like this..."
Yang Yan furrowed his brow, looking into the distance as he slowly spoke.
"Hold off for a bit, come with me!"
