Chapter 8: Divine Objects

In the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, a lithe figure traversed the jungle, evading obstacles like a nimble monkey. As time passed, Yang Tian's speed gradually decreased; he panted heavily, his nearly shattered gaze sweeping around him.

Not long after Yang Tian departed, a figure with an ethereal beauty appeared in the sky. She exuded a vague and otherworldly aura, her white garments fluttering gracefully, her hair dancing in the wind, and her skin radiating a mesmerizing, luminous whiteness.

As the commotion grew louder, Yang Tian's expression changed dramatically, and he shouted, "Not good, stop quickly, stop!"

At the moment when Yang Tianxin's mind sank into the sea of consciousness, his expression instantly became dull and dispirited. The domineering and unparalleled dragon-shaped jade pendant was now suppressed beneath the Ancestral Dragon Ring, its originally majestic form returning to its original state.

"Elder brother, was there just an incident involving a treasure that can gather the essence of heaven and earth within a radius of one hundred miles? Such a feat is truly extraordinary." A man with a dark complexion slowly approached, his eyes shimmering with intensity.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Tian's face was filled with smiles; the power of the dragon-shaped jade pendant was already self-evident. However, just a few breaths later, the smile on his face faded away, and he shook his head helplessly, realizing that he could not take out the dragon-shaped jade pendant at all

A group of people inhaled sharply, their eyes filled with an even more intense heat. On the continent, artifacts are categorized into: Blood Artifacts, Mysterious Artifacts, Dao Artifacts, and Heavenly Artifacts. A peak Blood Artifact is rarely seen even in the Cloud City Fortress, and Mysterious Artifacts are several times stronger than Blood Artifacts. These artifacts are not something they are qualified to encounter.

This... this treasure has actually triggered celestial phenomena. What level of treasure is this?" An old man on the verge of death, upon examining it, unexpectedly let out a roar.

She is an extraordinarily beautiful woman, exuding a cool and ethereal aura. Her ice-like skin and jade-like bones convey an indescribable nobility, and her stunning gaze seems to illuminate the ages, instilling a sense of awe and fear.

"Strange, there was clearly someone just now, where did they go?" The scarred man furrowed his brow slightly, his puzzled gaze sweeping around. The commotion just now had alarmed everyone in the Kuangyun City fortress, and currently, a steady stream of people was pouring in.

How strange, how could a divine object appear in this place? Gazing at the unremarkable surroundings, a deep sense of confusion swirled within. After pausing for a moment, that astonishing figure, with its bizarre presence, dissipated into the air

What on earth is this? Why has it entered my body?" He couldn't help but take a sharp breath, scratching his head with determination. Yang Tian's small face was scrunched up; yesterday, he had almost been harmed by the dragon-shaped jade pendant, and now it was lying quietly in his sea of consciousness.

As she gazed at the wisps of unusual phenomena rising in the sky, she exhaled gently, a hint of confusion appearing in her eyes

"How can there be such a phenomenon accompanying it? What kind of treasure is this?" Yang Tian could hardly believe everything before his eyes. Treasures that manifest such phenomena are all classified among the top-tier treasures, far beyond the comparison with those worthless items.

The overwhelming pressure swept across the entire venue, leaving everyone present with a sense of reverence.

Kuangyun City is a part of the Qingyang Empire, and several prominent figures from the Qingyang Empire have even come to investigate the situation

Moreover, the dragon-shaped jade pendant seemed to be extremely fearful of the battle characters suppressed within Yang Tian's body, actually retreating to a corner. This left Yang Tian somewhat incredulous, as those battle characters were able to intimidate the dragon-shaped jade pendant.

As the vortex of energy grew larger, the sound of tearing sonic booms erupted continuously. The red glow surrounding the dragon-shaped jade pendant intensified, and above it, a blood river was on the verge of solidifying.

The vacuum is distorted, and every drop of water in the blood river possesses boundless power, subtly emanating the momentum of thousands of galloping horses from within, its force astonishing, presenting a vision of fierce warriors.

The jade pendant, watching the dissipating essence of heaven and earth, vanished without a trace along with the dragon-shaped jade pendant. In a fleeting moment, Yang Tian's gaze flickered, and his figure had already surged away into the distance, moving at a speed several notches faster than before

Moreover, Dao artifacts are exceedingly rare on the mainland, and it is said that they possess the ability to destroy the heavens and obliterate the earth; even some top-tier forces may not possess them

Sing

Could this be a Dao artifact? The gaze swept over the peculiar patterns of the dragon-shaped jade pendant, where that faintly discernible charm still lingered. An object capable of nurturing such charm has already met the requirements of a Dao artifact

Unable to run any further, this is where it ends. Gritting his teeth, Yang Tian crawled into a cave, using all his strength to move several large stones, sealing the entrance completely. After completing all this, he lay on the ground, with his mouth and nose sealed, only a faint breath escaping, his heartbeat nearly coming to a standstill

Suddenly, two shadows of dragons, swift as the ultimate, swept through the void, instantly seizing the jade pendant in the shape of a dragon that exuded divine power, and in the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace.

What is going on? Yang Tian looked in disbelief at the scene before him, as the dragon-shaped jade pendant actually devoured the massive vortex of vital energy.

At this moment, dozens of dark figures rushed towards the anomaly with such speed that it left the people below the city astounded

Sing

Suddenly, her bright eyes burst forth with divine brilliance, and a strange vortex rose up, like lightning piercing the sky. The terrifying and overwhelming gaze shot out in an instant, surveying the surroundings as if it could see through the ages.

The sound of numerous footsteps suddenly erupted, and around the cave, dozens of figures rushed in swiftly, exuding a terrifying aura. Within a radius of about one thousand zhang around this group, there was not a single sound of ferocious beasts, indicating their formidable strength

In the Thundercloud Fortress, countless cultivators in the city suddenly turned their gazes towards the celestial dome. Above the dome, it was as if a swarm of snakes was dancing wildly, exceptionally dazzling under the night sky. Thousands of arcs of lightning flickered, shooting straight into the clouds, causing this expanse of heaven and earth to lose all color

Even higher than the mysterious artifacts... that is the Dao instrument

Damn it, stop!" Yang Tian furrowed his brow; this commotion had already alerted the people in the fortress. If a powerful individual discovered this divine object, he would certainly be unable to protect it

Upon hearing this, the scarred man slightly shook his head and said: "I have seen the city lord use a mysterious artifact before, but this fluctuation is far beyond what a mysterious artifact can compare to; it is likely of a much higher level"

The entire Fierce Beast Mountain Range fell silent in an instant, with countless fierce beasts prostrating on the ground, their trembling bodies seemingly bearing immense pressure, their eyes flickering with fear.

Blood-red radiance surged across the sky, as divine patterns flowed upon the dragon-shaped jade pendant. The surrounding essence of heaven and earth was stirred, converging like a torrential current, forming a massive vortex of essence suspended above the dragon-shaped jade pendant

On this night, countless cultivators surged into the Beast Mountain Range, as news of an extraordinary divine artifact being unearthed spread throughout the region, filling the entire fortress with a dense crowd of people

"Hehe, let's just think about it casually." The burly man with a dark complexion quickly laughed it off.

The dragon-shaped jade pendant paid him no heed, as the spiritual energy of the surrounding hundred miles surged wildly. This formation underwent a tremendous transformation; the sky turned pitch black, and thunder rumbled in the nine heavens, seemingly poised to shake this expanse of heaven and earth

"Let us go." Immediately, the scarred man waved his arm, and a group of fierce-looking guards surged away into the distance

What is that? Could it be a sign of a treasure's emergence?" A deep voice trembled as it spoke.

In the cave, Yang Tian's eyelids twitched a few times as he noticed that the commotion outside had significantly diminished. He opened his eyes, then let out a bitter smile, slowly sitting cross-legged to restore his vital energy.

The scarred man at the forefront exuded a vast aura of vitality, his sharp gaze scanning the surroundings. After lingering for a moment on the cave where Yang Tian was hiding, he moved on.

Only objects endowed with intelligence can be considered top-tier treasures. Moreover, those that can cultivate a divine charm not only require terrifying materials but also necessitate the continuous nurturing by unparalleled strong beings using their spiritual essence day and night. However, the success rate is exceptionally low.

Boom boom boom

"Do not think about it; no one is allowed to disclose today's events. The city lord will be coming over shortly." The scarred man glanced at the greedy faces before him, his expression darkening as he coldly admonished.

Snap ... ... Snap ... ...

Sigh, let's talk about it later. With a slight shake of his head, Yang Tianyun activated the Battle Heaven Decision to restore his vitality.

At this moment, the divine aura contained within the dragon-shaped jade pendant suddenly erupted, emanating an indescribable aura of dominance. The dragon-shaped jade pendant radiated an overwhelming divine might, and in the skies above, thunderclouds began to roll ominously. Several dazzling beams of divine light surged upward from the ground, shooting forth in unison, causing countless voids to explode abruptly.
