Chapter 094: Devouring Heaven and Earth

  Countless people were astounded. The vast life force couldn't keep up with the destructive speed of the heavenly tribulation. Moreover, the energy within the sea of lightning was gradually intensifying.

  "What's happening?" someone exclaimed in shock. The sea of lightning was too bizarre, almost as if it were man-made, capable of absorbing energy.

  "Yang Tian, you must hold on, hold on!" Qing Yuan muttered repeatedly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. Yang Tian was enduring immense pain, and Qing Yuan felt utterly helpless, unable to assist.

  "Why is this happening?" Yang Tian struggled to sit cross-legged, dripping the water of life. But the speed of the tribulation's destruction was too fast; the water of life had become ineffective.

  "Whimper..." Xiao Bai let out a few low whines, its large eyes misty as it wandered around, unsure of what to do.

  Inside Yang Tian's body, terrifying arcs of lightning spread, ravaging his flesh. If it weren't for the Ancestral Dragon Ring suppressing the damage within, he would have already lost his life.

  "The Spring of Life is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. If I consume it now, it would explode me," Yang Tian thought, countless ideas flashing through his mind, only to be dismissed. The Spring of Life couldn't be consumed recklessly unless it was a life-or-death situation.

  "That little beast won't live much longer!" Li Hongtao's face twisted with glee.

  "If you die, what will happen to my technique?" Gu Mo didn't want Yang Tian to die. The technique that could absorb the heavenly tribulation was too terrifying, and he desired it.

  "I can't keep going like this, or my life essence will be depleted, and then disaster will strike," Yang Tian realized, a look of determination flashing in his eyes as he sensed his essence dissipating.

  "Battle Heaven's Forbidden Technique: Devour Heaven and Earth!" Suddenly, Yang Tian shouted. His body instantly swelled, as if filled with gas, expanding madly, his veins bulging out.

  "What's going on?" Seeing Yang Tian's body triple in size and continue to grow, many were terrified, fearing he would explode at any moment.

  "Nothing will happen... Brother Yang will be fine..." Yun'er shook her head, her beautiful eyes red and swollen, her jade-like face pale.

  "Yang Tian is blessed; he won't die..." Xing Hao comforted Yun'er, trying to calm his own nerves.

  "This must be some secret technique. Don't worry..." Shan Qu reassured them, sensing that Yang Tian was performing an astonishing secret art.

  "Refine the power of heaven and earth, condense it into my body, devour heaven and earth, devour!" Yang Tian roared, his mouth and nose opening wide as a suction force emerged. Like a whale swallowing water, the surrounding sea of lightning was sucked into his mouth!

  Battle Heaven's Forbidden Technique: Devour Heaven and Earth! It could devour any energy in the world, but facing this heavenly tribulation, the chance of success was less than one in ten!

  "Is Yang Tian insane?" Seeing the sea of lightning being swallowed, many felt their scalps tingle. Would Yang Tian's body explode from the energy?

  Many pronounced Yang Tian's death sentence, considering this a suicidal act.

  "What the hell kind of technique is this?" Shan Qu cursed, seeing Yang Tian's actions as sheer madness.

  "Refine, refine!" Yang Tian roared, the Battle Heaven Technique operating at full power. The ancient energy around him was stirred, a mighty force that surged wildly.

  A massive energy vortex hovered above him, the speed of absorption astonishing. The void within a radius of ten thousand zhang trembled as Yang Tian's body swelled to a hundred zhang tall.

  "Will he make it?" Qing Yuan murmured, watching Yang Tian, now a giant, devouring ancient energy, his eyes filled with helplessness.

  Countless energy vortices spun within his body, refining madly. The sea of lightning he absorbed was too terrifying, wreaking havoc within his flesh, undoing any progress in healing.

  "Refine, refine!" Yang Tian's furious roars continued. The ancient elixirs within the Ancestral Dragon Ring burned fiercely, releasing vast energy that cascaded down. It was as if a war was raging within his body.

  "How is this possible? It's still growing!" Yang Tian was frantically devouring ancient energy, yet the sea of lightning continued to absorb more. His life force was nearing its limit.

  "Bastard!" A deadly threat assailed his mind. Yang Tian roared with unyielding determination. He didn't want to die; his family's blood feud remained unavenged, his parents' fate unknown, and Yang Ba still awaited their reunion.

  This was a mountain range steeped in blood, where countless shadows moved amidst the killing intent. It was a land of slaughter.

  Bloodied bodies fell continuously, severed limbs scattered across the mountains, the ground nearly dyed red with blood.

  In the sky, a robust figure stood, his jet-black hair whipping wildly. His five-colored spear swept through everything like a dragon attacking the heavens, crushing all in its path.

  Several shadowy figures darted through the void, evading the spear's deadly strikes. The spear's power reached its zenith, like divine dragon chains, annihilating all enemies with terrifying heat.

  "Boss, they're all dead," a black-clad man reported, kneeling on one knee, his energy vast.

  "Retreat," the spear-wielding man nodded, but as he prepared to leave, a sudden sense of danger arose.

  "What's this? That feeling again?" The robust man frowned, gazing into the distance, a wave of nostalgia washing over him.

  On the martial platform, blood splattered, nearly forming a small river. Yang Tian's face was pale, his eyes dazed, unimaginable pain assaulting his mind. If not for his indomitable will, he would have succumbed to unconsciousness.

  "Haha, the little beast is dying," Li Hongtao laughed maniacally, sensing Yang Tian's life essence nearly depleted.

  "If he dies, you'll follow. Don't doubt my words," Qing Yuan turned slowly, a cold smile on his face. If not for the martial platform's prohibition on fighting, he would have killed Li Hongtao on the spot.

  Li Hongtao's rage surged, but as he prepared to retort, a chilling glare from Xing Hao and the others forced him to suppress his anger.

  An unyielding will circulated within Yang Tian's heart, merging with his blood. Time seemed to stretch endlessly...

  Suddenly, within Yang Tian's bloodline, a faint trace of purple blood appeared. Just a trace, but it caused the Ancestral Dragon Ring within him to tremble.

  "What's this?" Yang Tian's eyes brightened slightly as the faint purple bloodline surged within him, circulating through his body.

  A sense of nobility, dominance, ancient power, and supremacy over heaven and earth rose within him. He felt his bloodline roar with authority, an endless majesty burgeoning within.

  This majesty suddenly emanated from his body, altering the very fabric of the world. The void seemed to tremble and mourn, as if the stars themselves dimmed.

  Then, a battle intent that made the heavens quake surged forth, as if it had pierced the sky.

  "What's happening?" Those around felt their hearts tremble. Facing Yang Tian, they couldn't muster any resistance. He seemed like a ruler of the heavens, an insurmountable mountain, a master of life and death. Any movement would result in annihilation.

  This was fear.

  Some felt their hearts pounding, choking, a suffocating sensation that could lead to death within moments. It was indescribable.

  "This is bloodline power. How is this possible? He hasn't reached the Transcendence Realm. How can he awaken his bloodline?" Gu Mo stood up, muttering in disbelief. Bloodlines that persisted to this day were rare in the entire Eastern Continent, let alone one as vast and noble as Yang Tian's.

  "What is this little bastard's origin?" Gu Mo felt a surge of panic. He wanted to kill Yang Tian immediately; his bloodline power was too formidable.

  "This is the aura of the Ancient Ones. How is this possible?" Shan Qu's face went blank. The Ancient Ones were only found in the Central Continent. How could they appear here?

  "Shan Qu, what's wrong?" Xing Hao asked, noticing Shan Qu's change.

  "Uh... nothing," Shan Qu shook his head slightly.

  "It seems Yang Tian will survive today's calamity," Qing Yuan sighed in relief, then murmured, "But what about tomorrow?"
