"Big Brother, you're finally awake! While you were out, your little bro here has been getting bullied something fierce."
Yang Tian was still in shock.
Just then, a figure dashed over to Yang Xiao's side in a flash, exclaiming with exaggerated tears and snot running down his face.
Who else could it be but that guy, Yang Lin?
"What's going on?"
Yang Xiao's brow furrowed.
At this moment, the aura around him was restrained, but this simple frown exuded a natural authority.
Even the usually flippant Yang Lin couldn't help but get serious in that instant.
He quickly explained the situation with the Armor Giant Bear King.
"A Tier Six Beast King?"
Yang Xiao subconsciously glanced into the distance.
With that one look.
The others couldn't tell what he was looking at.
But Yang Tian was startled.
Because that was the exact direction of the Tier Six Beast King, the Armor Giant Bear.
'Little Junior Brother, heā¦'
Yang Tian was still reeling with shock and uncertainty.
And then Yang Xiao made his move.
He extended his hands, forming them into claws, and gave a light tear at the empty air before him. With a flash, his figure vanished.
In an instant, the four people present were left dumbfounded.
"Wh-what was that?"
Yang Lin was the closest and saw it most clearly. He felt like his sworn brother had just stepped into a portal and vanished.
As for Zhang Mengfei and Yang Ziling in the distance, it was the same for them.
They both wore dazed expressions.
They had no idea where Yang Xiao had gone.
They didn't even know how he had disappeared.
How could he just suddenly...
...vanish?
Only Yang Tian.
While his expression was one of shock, in his mind, a single thought repeated over and over: 'Void Shifting! It's actually Void Shifting! This Little Junior Brother is really going to defy the heavens!'
And right at that moment, a terrifying roar echoed from the distance.
It was a sound that everyone present was very familiar with.
It was clearly the voice of the Armor Giant Bear Beast King.
"Yang Xiao is fighting the Armor Giant Bear?"
Yang Ziling's face instantly paled in terror.
Even though, in her heart, she had immense faith in Yang Xiao.
She thought he was peerless and outstanding, but at this moment, Yang Ziling had no confidence in him at all. That was a Tier Six Barbaric Beast King.
Even a figure on the level of the Pure Yang Ancestor might not be its match.
'Can Yang Xiao win?'
At this thought, Yang Ziling could no longer hold back and shot off toward that location.
At this moment, she didn't even consider how weak she was.
Once she got close, the aftershocks of the battle alone could probably injure, or even kill her.
But.
For Yang Xiao.
She was fearless.
Seeing Yang Ziling rush toward the battlefield, Yang Lin and Zhang Mengfei also sprang into action.
They were worried about Yang Xiao, too.
And besides, they didn't want Yang Ziling to get involved.
Only Yang Tian.
Among everyone present, he had the highest strength and the most experience, but it was for this very reason that he was also the most shocked.
Stunned.
Even though he kept reminding himself, 'Yang Xiao is his son. He was bound to be extraordinary.'
'Butā¦ Void Shifting!'
'Holy shit.'
'That's a Void Secret Skill that not even Demigods can necessarily master, and this kid already knows it.'
'His cultivationā¦'
'If I remember correctly, he just broke through to the Martial Grandmaster Fourth Layer.'
'With that level of cultivationā¦ being able to initially contend with some very weak Small Divine Ability Realm experts would already put him at the level of a first-rate genius.'
'And a top-tier one at that.'
'And to be able to cultivate his Spiritual Power to the Void Observation Realm at this levelā¦ that's already the level of a peak genius on the Divine Land Continent.'
'An existence like that is rare even among the Great Emperor's Direct Lineage. The kind who receives special nurturing.'
'But nowā¦'
'Holy hell.'
'He grasps the Void Shifting Secret Skill the moment he steps into the Void Observation Realm.'
'If that's not a Demon Level genius, then what is?'
'And a Demon Level geniusā¦'
The thought sent a shiver down Yang Tian's spine.
Take him, for example. His own master called him the most powerful genius their lineage had seen in a million years.
But when it really came down to a fight, he was merely ranked among the top geniuses.
'But Yang Xiao!'
'Looks like I really have underestimated him. Right, if I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before someone comes knocking to take this Little Junior Brother away. Before, I was afraid he'd be bullied or, at the very least, have his confidence shattered if he went out into the wider world.'
'Now, it looks like we'll be lucky if he's not the one shattering others. And once he receives formal training in a Great Emperor's Dao lineage, what level will his strength reach?'
Yang Tian suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
Just then, the battle in the distance grew even more intense.
He also suddenly realized that aside from himself, the other three fools had recklessly run over there.
"Damn it, I was careless. Yang Lin is one thing, but what are Zhang Mengfei and Yang Ziling doing running over there to join the chaos? Are they trying to get killed?"
Yang Tian cursed under his breath.
His figure flickered and vanished in an instant.
If Yang Xiao had been there, he would have discovered that this guy was clearly also using Void Shifting.
And the aura that leaked out in that instant was definitely that of the Great Divine Power Realm!
A Great Divine Power Realm expert under the age of thirty.
Yang Tian.
He was likely far more than what they had previously thought.
Unfortunately, at this very moment, Yang Xiao was facing off against the Armor Giant Bear Beast King.
'It's actually a Purple Blood Giant Bear Beast! These things are truly rare. If I can kill it, I might be able to obtain its Original Purple Blood and absorb it. My Physical Strength will probably soar.'
A glint appeared in Yang Xiao's eyes.
His killing intent flared intensely.
This recent breakthrough. His Spiritual Power had reached the Void Observation Realm, and his cultivation had also broken through. Although his physical body had been enhanced and its quality improved, it hadn't undergone a qualitative transformation like his spirit had.
But if he killed this Purple Blood Giant Bear Beast and obtained its Original Purple Blood... then his physical body... would likely undergo that transformation.
Perhaps even his Physical Strength alone would be enough to contend with an expert of the Small Divine Ability Realm.
'The Purple Blood Giant Bear Beast is the natural enemy of the Dragon Race. They are born with a penchant for eating dragon cubs. Their power and defense are immense, but their only weakness is their speed. Perfect. I'll use the Nine Hundred Life and Death from the Celestial Desolation Swordsmanship to deal with it.'
Yang Xiao's figure flashed.
The Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand slashed down.
The Vibration characteristic activated.
CLANG!
Immense force struck the Purple Blood Giant Bear Beast's body.
ROAR!
It cried out in pain.
Its huge eyes glared with fury.
It swiped its paw at Yang Xiao.
Star Flash activated.
Yang Xiao vanished.
When he reappeared, it was with another sword strike, which landed on the Purple Blood Giant Bear Beast.
Provoking another cry of pain.
It swiped its paw again.
In its fury, the Purple Blood Giant Bear Beast's swipes became faster and more powerful.
Any rock or tree it touched was pulverized to dust, shattered by the sheer force.
But unfortunately for it, it couldn't land a single hit on Yang Xiao.
While Yang Xiao, however, could land a hit every single time.
Furthermore, he struck the same spot several times.
With his strength, he was already equivalent to an ordinary Beast King Tier, which is an expert who has just entered the Small Divine Ability Realm.
It was just that this Purple Blood Giant Bear Beast's defense was too strong and its power too great; an ordinary Small Divine Ability Realm expert wouldn't necessarily be its match.
But for Yang Xiao, it wasn't too difficult.
After a dozen consecutive slashes, the Purple Blood Giant Bear Beast had already entered a berserk state.
'A pity,' Yang Xiao thought. 'It's just a spent force. Once this burst of energy is gone, it will certainly die.'
But just then, in the distance, a cyan figure came running over.
After Yang Xiao sensed the approaching person's aura, his expression changed in an instant.
'That foolish woman, what is she doing here?'
Who else could it be but Yang Ziling?
But when he sensed the anxiety on her face, Yang Xiao felt a little touched.
'This womanā¦ she must be worried about me.'
But what Yang Xiao didn't expect was that the Purple Blood Giant Bear Beast seemed to recognize Yang Ziling's aura.
After seeing her approach, it actually gave up its attack on Yang Xiao.
Its enormous body lunged fiercely toward her.
This move caught even Yang Xiao off guard.
As for Yang Ziling, she was scared stiff.
Danger!
The color drained from Yang Xiao's face.
