Chapter 226

The Golden Crow's whole body was ablaze, spreading its wings and soaring, carrying a sea of fire that raged wildly, it burst out of the wooden box.

"Run!"

The big black dog's fur stood on end, it gave a shiver and fled instantly, without a hint of hesitation.

Hun Dun Chi surged forth, pouring down myriad strands of chaotic essence, hazy and misty, enveloping the wooden box above, firmly suppressing the Golden Crow.

"Cry—"

The Golden Crow let out a cry, wanting to break free, but a strand of chaotic essence struck it with great force and weight, instantly blasting it sideways.

With a bang, much of the divine fire on the Golden Crow's body was extinguished; it tried to soar again, but chaotic mist surged forth, striking it so it tumbled head over heels, in a sorry state.

"Can you escape?"

The essence of chaotic stone is an immortal treasure, produced from the Immortal-Transforming Pool, rarer than the nine great immortal metals; a weapon forged from it, its might is easy to imagine.

Moreover, three other kinds of immortal metal were added, with the inner walls inscribed with the Wushi Dao markings, the Degree Person Scripture, and the nine ancient characters of the Solar Holy Emperor, etc.

Each is related to the character "Emperor"; they are said to be unstoppable, able to suppress and refine everything, even time can be halted.

The Golden Crow struggled a few times, realizing it could not break through, it then rushed back into the wooden box and vanished.

Yang Zhu turned his gaze to the wooden box, inside were more than ten drops of golden liquid, shining with divine radiance, a burst of vermilion cloud rose up, bathing the surroundings in a halo of light.

"The essence blood of a Great Sage."

Those droplets, each like a blazing sun, radiant with divine light, making it impossible to look directly at.

The holy might surged endlessly, as if an ancient sage were awakening, emitting a chilling throb! "Vile Heavenly Sovereign! This time we really struck it rich!"

"That old lady can do it, and she still has this trick!"

As soon as Yang Zhu spoke, everyone was stunned; a drop of Great Sage's essence blood is a supreme treasure, its value immeasurable— a single drop of a Saint's blood can collapse a mountain range, and the power of Great Sage's essence blood is unimaginable.

It is no exaggeration to say that a single drop can easily slay an ancient saint!

"This should be what the old Golden Crow left for the ten princes; once someone reaches the Saint realm, the seal will automatically undo."

This was an unexpected gain; Yang Zhu hesitated not, carefully put away the wooden box, then flicked his embroidered robe, storing all the treasures of this place into his bag.

"Tongtong, I will now transmit the Solar True Scripture to you; afterward you will contemplate it here."

This place is filled with divine fire power; for the Holy Emperor's bloodline, it is absolutely a rare treasure land— contemplating here will surely yield twice the result with half the effort.

"Okay, thank you, big brother!"

Tongtong was very obedient; over the next few days she remained calm and composed, showing no trace of irritability.

Yang Zhu had Tongtong sit on the dao platform outside the great hall; this was once the old Golden Crow's secluded cultivation spot, the place where divine fire was most abundant.

Seeing this, the others all withdrew, standing guard outside.

"Boom—"

The Golden Crow Divine Tree, amid a tremendous roar, sank into the void and vanished from this region.

"You just remember well…"

Yang Zhu began teaching the Solar True Scripture, while Tongtong's eyes were clear, she listened and contemplated with utmost seriousness.

Soon after, it seemed as if a sun rose within his body, his flesh glimmering crystalline, his whole person appearing to emit light.

The little one, worthy of the Holy Emperor's bloodline, in just a few days had memorized the scripture's contents; his brow glowed brightly, entering a special state.

Yang Zhu nodded secretly, admiring her talent, then turned and left; this time, how great a fortune she would attain depended entirely on Tongtong herself.

Inside the Golden Crow Divine Tree all was peaceful, but outside the pot had already boiled over.

The Northern Sea is extremely far from here; even a top-tier powerhouse wishing to rush over would need at least half a month.

"The ancestral land of the Golden Crow clan is gone!"

"Within a radius of several hundred thousand li, everything has been leveled to flat ground; not a single Golden Crow clansperson remains alive!"

When people finally managed to arrive, learning that the Golden Crow's ancestral land, prosperous to the extreme, had been swept clean, their hearts were shaken beyond words— it was nothing short of a fantasy! This is an unprecedented feat in history; every member of the Golden Crow clan possesses a fire constitution, with boundless talent, allowing the Zi Wei elite prodigies to be unable to compare.

Moreover, now ten princes have emerged from a single lineage, each comparable to a Holy Lord's cultivation, ushering in a rare golden age! It can be said that within a few years, the Golden Crow clan's strength will surely overwhelm Zi Wei, after which none will dare provoke them.

"Could it be that Yang Zhu did this? This is simply unbelievable!"

"There are rumors that the Golden Crow clan's chieftain, a thousand years ago, was on the verge of proving the Dao; no one knows how strong he became— could he also…"

"Even Yin Tian De can San Zhang Ji Bai, his talent is unparalleled since ancient times, worthy of a great emperor's bearing, nothing is impossible!"

The people were in an uproar, each excited beyond measure; Yang Zhu slew the Golden Crow, defeated Yin Tian De, displaying supreme bearing, then declared he would come to exterminate the Golden Crow clan.

Everyone present was stunned by his supreme bearing, wanting to see how Yang Zhu would contend with the Golden Crow clan's massive power.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived, they found the Golden Crow clan already overturned, wiped out completely, even their divine tree left no trace.

"This seems to be… the aura of an ancient great emperor!"

"Good heavens, could it be that Yang Zhu possesses a formation or weapon related to the great emperor?"

Soon after, people in this heaven and earth sensed a thread of terrifying killing intent; the lingering imperial might made everyone tremble with fear, being shaken by it.

"No matter what, Yang Zhu defeated Yin Tian De and slew the Golden Crow, already invincible among Zi Wei's generation— an indisputable fact!"

"At such an age to overwhelm the present world, even a great emperor's reincarnation might not achieve this!"

The world buzzed, the ten wilds trembled! Zi Wei experienced a great earthquake; Yang Zhu's name spread throughout Zi Wei, all who heard it marveled at his heavenly talent and heavenly-reaching methods.

Without doubt, a truly invincible powerhouse has emerged, crushing all Zi Wei's outstanding talents, with none able to stand against him.

Even the supreme saints and imperial monarchs, upon hearing Yang Zhu's name, all felt reverence, none daring to provoke him, for even they are not his match.

Even Yin Tian De, who could traverse Zi Wei with the Immortal Three Slashes Dao, upon Yang Zhu's emergence becomes truly the one who overwhelms the present age, none daring to oppose him! Petals flew, crystalline fragments fluttered, a Guanghan Palace loomed aloft, pure and beautiful, yet bearing an inviolable dignity.

"From the first glance at you, I knew your transcendence— something we cannot hope to attain."

Yi Qingwu, the foremost beauty, stood before the Guanghan Palace and let out a soft sigh, her lovely eyes hinting at melancholy, then turned back into the palace.

Xuan Du Cave, although the Eight Views Palace is gone, remains a sacred land, misty with spiritual energy, vapor rising, with strange beasts occasionally appearing.

"Defeated by your hand, I accept it."

Yin Tian De gazed up at the heavens, gave a light chuckle, unwilling yet helpless; afterward his eyes turned resolute, he firmly set foot once more on the eastern quest path.

He is indeed a hero of his generation; after this battle, not only did it fail to crush his Dao heart, but after adjusting, it became even more steadfast.
