Capítulo 718: Chapter 720 Return to Cloud Forest!
The clouds shook, and countless hulking silhouettes of demon beasts appeared, as if swaying the heavenly dome.
Immense bodies emerged, piercing through the clouds.
“Hand over the Primordial Life Tree!” The voice of the Exploding Heaven Divine Elephant penetrated the void, breaking through the mist.
Within the fog, a tremendously long passageway formed.
It swept over Yang Yan and his group like a gale.
“Did you really steal the Primordial Life Tree?” Liu Niang exclaimed in shock.
The Primordial Life Tree!
A holy medicine!
*Even though she had lived in this Cloud Forest for hundreds of years, she had never seen the true form of the Primordial Life Tree.*
*And it wasn’t just her; very few of the Sovereign realm demon beasts in the entire Cloud Forest had ever seen it.*
“Yes, and indeed the Primordial Life Tree is miraculous, beyond your imagination,” Yang Yan said.
The body of the Primordial Life Tree was so small.
So small that it was like a mustard seed, disappearing at any moment.
And it’s likely that even the Exploding Heaven Divine Elephant had never seen its true form.
*It was too vigilant, hidden too deeply.*
“What miraculous qualities does it have?” Liu Niang asked anxiously.
“I’ll explain on the way.”
Yang Yan grabbed Liu Niang, casting the Innate Dao Skill, Near and far.
In the blink of an eye, they escaped the Cloud Forest, just when Yang Yan had emerged from the forest.
The entire Cloud Forest was penetrated by immense forces, leaving countless gaps in the mist.
This was the scene caused by the demon beasts acting inside, driven by power.
Their strength was overwhelming, and in their current rage, Yang Yan naturally wouldn’t confront them head-on.
Moreover, he had Yang Yuanzi’s residual power wreaking havoc inside him, his blood boiling intensely.
His body involuntarily became robust, requiring immediate stabilization.
Afterward, he once again employed the Innate Dao Skill, Near and far, moving towards the Wuyang Sword Sect with Liu Niang.
When they stopped, Yang Yan’s eyes were red.
Liu Niang noticed Yang Yan’s strange state and immediately understood after a quick glance.
Yang Yan was affected by Yang Yuanzi’s power, which led to the current situation.
She needed to help Yang Yan stabilize, or else he would face big trouble.
Because no matter how strong a man was, his internal Yang Qi was ultimately limited.
If all his Yang Qi dissipated and wasn’t replenished in time, regression in cultivation would be minor, but lasting damage would be troublesome.
*His cultivation would stagnate, never advancing an inch further.*
*It was essentially severing one’s future path!*
*”I’m afraid I alone won’t be able to handle him!”* Liu Niang thought to herself.
*She knew that Yang Yan’s current state was much more impulsive than when it first began.*
*His senses and consciousness were already lost.*
*In such a state, if it was only up to her to stabilize him, even though she was in the Sovereign realm, it would be hard to withstand easily.*
“I need to find someone to help me, and they must be at least in the Saint Realm.”
*Fei Hong was her first thought, but since the other hadn’t transformed, they couldn’t help her.*
“I can only look for a female cultivator in the Sect nearby at the Saint Realm,” Liu Niang thought.
She waved her hand, unfurling an infinite glow over Yang Yan.
“Wait for me a moment!”
She disappeared instantly, transforming into a magnificent figure streaking across the sky.
When she reappeared, her claws grasped a female cultivator.
This female cultivator was in the Saint Realm, her entire aura fluctuated with Saintly Might.
She tried to break free from Liu Niang’s grasp, but Liu Niang was a Great Demon in the Sovereign realm.
She paid no heed to mere Saint Realm cultivators.
Easily capturing them, she brought them to where Yang Yan had been left.
At this moment, Yang Yan’s state was quite serious, with a vast amount of Yang Qi rising from his body.
There needed to be a harmony of Yin and Yang to stabilize it.
“Go in.” Liu Niang tossed the Female Saint into the place where Yang Yan was.
“Do not resist him, or you’re doomed,” she threatened.
As the Female Saint landed, she indeed tried to resist.
But in the next moment, Yang Yan had already subdued her.
Liu Niang saw this and quickly unfurled her wings once more, disappearing from sight.
Several times, she captured dozens of Female Saints.
With the assistance of these Female Saints, Yang Yan’s Yang Qi subdued, and he recovered significantly.
The Female Saints, however, lay all looking up at the sky, utterly powerless.
It wasn’t just about Yang Yan’s onslaught but that their energy was completely absorbed by him.
They felt empty inside, which was why they bore such expressions.
“I’ll grab a few more, with me included, it should be enough,” Liu Niang thought.
She vanished once more, and this time she caught a few more Female Saints.
Among them, if Yang Yan were clear-headed, he would surely recognize one.
This person was none other than his mentor from the Wuyang Sword Sect, Master Xianzhu.
She had set out to follow Yang Yan, to protect him.
But she encountered Liu Niang along the way and was captured.
“Let me go, where are you taking me?” Master Xianzhu struggled to ask.
Liu Niang completely ignored her, taking her to where Yang Yan was.
With a flick of her claw, she tossed her into Yang Yan’s location.
Master Xianzhu looked around, stunned by the scene she witnessed.
“This is…”
Then she saw a figure approach her, easily subduing her.
“No, this can’t be happening,” Master Xianzhu shouted.
She failed to recognize Yang Yan before her, for at this moment, he, subdued by the Dao Illusion Technique, had regained his original appearance.
He was no longer as he was upon initially entering the Wuyang Sword Sect.
So, naturally, Master Xianzhu didn’t recognize him right away.
Her refusal was utterly disregarded by Yang Yan.
“Hmm, his eyes appeared much clearer now, it’s my turn.” Liu Niang noticed the change in Yang Yan, transforming into a human form as she rushed to his side.
When Yang Yan finally woke up, it was already two days and two nights later.
He raised his hand to his head, gazing at the starry night sky, exhaling deeply.
*”Having obtained the Primordial Life Tree, the next step is to proceed to Li Mountain,” Yang Yan thought.*
After Li Mountain, he had no reason to stay in the first heaven any longer.
He was going to ascend once more!
“Hmm, about to break through.”
His internal power surged, becoming several times stronger than before.
He was only one step away from reaching Perfection in the Immortal Realm.
Once that breakthrough occurred, he would be the closest existence to the King Realm, a level known as the Fake King.
*”Where did I obtain such boundless Profound Qi, and why is there still so much unrefined within?” he wondered.*
He intended to ask Liu Niang, but when he turned around.
On the ground lay dozens of Saints, all women.
Among them, Yang Yan even saw someone familiar.
Master Xianzhu!
Liu Niang stood up, leaning on Yang Yan’s shoulder.
“These are all Female Saints I captured to save you,” she said.
“For my rescue?” Yang Yan rubbed his head.
He remembered Yang Yuanzi now.
*If Liu Niang hadn’t sought out these Female Saints, and she alone had attended to him,*
*she might have exhausted herself and died shortly.*
“Back then, when I couldn’t control myself, according to the domineering nature of the Primordial Yang heaven reaching Divine Skill, without my control, Liu Niang would have certainly died,” Yang Yan fully understood.
“Luckily, you found them, or else it would have been you in danger.”
“Yes,” Liu Niang said. “What should we do next?”
“I plan to revisit the Cloud Forest and slay a few demon beasts to push my cultivation to complete the Immortal Realm.
And these people, let them go.”
“Alright, I understand.”
With that, Yang Yan vanished!
