Xiao Tian's eyes narrowed. His gaze was sharp and cold, scanning each approaching creature.“Hmph, let me see what these strange beasts can do.”Xiao Tian spoke indifferently, his voice flat and full of confidence. He stepped forward without fear, as if the entire murderous storm was merely insignificant wind before him.WHOOSSHH!!Xiao Tian punched directly forward with full force. The punch not only broke the air but also formed countless vortices that appeared from the point of impact. These vortices were like miniature dimensional abysses, sucking the supernatural power from the black-horned beasts in their path.The punch then exploded, spreading a devastating wave containing fire and lightning. The two elements merged in perfect chaos, obliterating everything they touched.BAANG BAANG BAANG BAANG!!!The bodies of the black-horned beasts in front of him were completely torn apart. Their flesh and bones shattered into energy particles that formed streaks of pitch-black killing int

Xiao Tian whipped the air with his palm. Fire and lightning spun together, forming a vortex. When the black blade and red arrows touched the vortex, an explosion shattered the air. BOOOM!! The explosion created a large ripple on the lake's surface, and black fog rose from the bottom like deathly vapor. But from behind the fog, dozens of light spears shot out simultaneously. These spears were unusually shaped; some resembled snake tails, others insect wings, and all contained soul-severing auras. Xiao Tian gritted his teeth. His Godly Lightning Steps flared again. His body split the air in a lightning-fast zig-zag trajectory. One by one, the attacks were passed with perfect accuracy, but still, three attacks exploded right behind him, creating shockwaves that struck his back. Xiao Tian was thrown tens of meters. His body spun in the air, then planted his feet on an invisible formation. A slight humming sound was heard as his lightning resisted the formation's gravity. "This format

Leihuo Dashi did not respond immediately. The sound of thunderous flames on his body still sizzled. However, his eyes narrowed as he asked mercilessly. “Hmph, was it rest—or were you staying in this temple to guard that egg?!” The two looked at each other. There was no more anger, only a sense of being cornered and a truth that could no longer be delayed. There was no hiding from the gaze of a bloodline like Leihuo Dashi's. The dragon spoke again. “We were indeed guarding that egg, because it is our child—our only remaining descendant. So we had to protect it.” The words came out with restrained pressure, but there was no lie in them. The dragon's voice did not beg—it carried the long burden of a will that had endured who knows how long inside that temple. Leihuo Dashi gave a cold, mocking smile, one that carried the pressure of the highest bloodline—chilling and allowing no rejection. “I could kill and refine you both. But because you're ancient beings, I will give you

The Dragon gazed at the two mountains made of Dragon and Phoenix corpses. The air around them felt heavier, as though the resonance of lingering souls welcomed their arrival. The night sky seemed darker, as if mourning the memories etched within those bones. “Young friend, the marrow of Dragons and Phoenixes is incredibly valuable. If you possess a body-tempering technique, their marrow will be your most precious resource. Furthermore, all these corpses still contain remnants of soul traces, so their soul power can also enhance your own,” the Dragon said. “Senior, are you sure I’m allowed to refine their marrow?” Xiao Tian didn’t get excited right away. He knew how precious this was. He wasn’t someone who outwardly chased power, even though he deeply wished to become stronger. His tone remained calm, but a burden lay within his question. He wasn’t simply asking for permission—he was affirming the responsibility he was prepared to bear. His gaze never shifted from the two beings b

“Young friend, although this is incredibly valuable, it’s no longer of use to us. We are only remnants of will, and soon we will disappear. We even doubted whether we could protect our egg until it hatches. So don’t be polite—accept this gift. Consider it our sincerity, because you are willing to care for our child.” The Dragon’s voice held no pressure, only a sincerity that had endured the test of time. Their gazes, though faint, were filled with conviction. Xiao Tian could feel it—that every word they spoke came from a lingering hope planted long before he ever arrived. Hearing the Dragon’s words, Xiao Tian had no other choice. He could only accept. It wasn’t that Xiao Tian wasn’t interested in the treasures. If he claimed he wasn’t, it would have been a lie. The treasures in that cave—not just a Half-Divine cultivator, even a Divine King or Divine Emperor—would have fought to obtain them, creating a storm of war. That many treasures wouldn’t just increase an individual’s strengt
