Chapter 622: Chapter 615 Senior, Spare My Life
“Yang Dingtian, who was ready to soar into the sky, landed back on the mountain peak beneath his feet.”
He stood proudly, surveying all around. In just a breath or two, he had pinpointed the mountain peak towards which the spiritual energy was rushing.
“Within a hundred miles around, all the spiritual energy has been almost entirely drained.”
“What exactly is going on inside that mountain peak? Is there a treasure about to be born?”
“Or could there be some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures about to successfully incubate?”
After a slight hesitation, Yang Dingtian mumbled to himself.
He didn’t act immediately because he felt that if Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were about to successfully incubate, rashly charging up there might lead to the failure of their incubation.
Compared to a successfully incubated complete Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, a half-formed one is worth many times less.
Since he had landed at this spot exactly at this moment, it meant that this unknown object was fated for him and should rightfully be his.
Waiting until after the object had successfully incubated and then taking it would naturally be the best choice for him.
As for any unexpected incidents in the meantime?
Yang Dingtian never cared about these matters; after all, this place was West Barbarian Mountain, not some other territory.
In such a barren place, the limit for even the most powerful beings should be reaching the level of a True Immortal or True Demon.
Though he was only at the Perfect level of a True Demon and hadn’t achieved the state of an Earth Immortal of the Demon Path, in his view, within the territory of West Barbarian Mountain, his power was enough to suppress any dissent.
With such a foundation, what did he have to worry about?
The treasure, being fated for him, if anyone dared vie for it, he would simply slap them dead.
Standing on the summit of the mountain, he looked down from his high vantage point, taking in everything all around him.
Fortunately, among these mountains, there were hardly any traces of people, and besides Yang Dingtian, within a hundred miles, he saw no other cultivators.
His own presence here was merely a coincidence.
“This luck, it’s unstoppable.”
“Inside that mountain peak, the object being incubated is causing such a huge commotion, without even thinking, I can confirm it must be an extremely rare Supreme Treasure.”
“With such an opportunity, maybe I truly have a chance to become an Earth Immortal!”
After scanning the surroundings, Yang Dingtian’s gaze remained firmly fixed on the mountain peak towards which the spiritual energy was surging tumultuously.
When that rich spiritual energy, almost visible to the naked eye, poured into the middle of the mountain peak and seemed to be completely devoured by the treasure, completely vanishing.
A burst of colorful radiance bloomed from that spot Yang Dingtian had locked onto.
The empty void erupted in chaos, numerous streams of air merged together, turning into numerous palm-sized, visibly gorgeous flowers.
These flowers fluttered down from the sky, initially dazzlingly beautiful, but as they continued to drift down, their color faded more and more, until they completely vanished without a trace.
“Heavenly flowers falling randomly? The legendary supernatural phenomenon has actually appeared?”
“Could it be that the treasure about to be born has surpassed an Immortal Treasure, and is some kind of Innate Object?”
“Great opportunity, definitely a great opportunity. This time, coming from overseas to the territory of West Barbarian Mountain is worth it!”
…
Amidst his hearty laughter, Yang Dingtian’s figure swayed, and he disappeared in an instant.
In just the blink of an eye, when he reappeared, he was already atop the mountain where the colorful radiance was bursting forth.
“The treasure has already successfully incubated, obtaining this treasure, my path will be complete…”
Laughing loudly, he broke through the mountain and strode directly towards the spot he had locked onto.
“There’s a cave inside this mountain? And there are clear signs of man-made marks?”
“Not right, absolutely not right!”
Just moving about twenty or thirty meters through the rocks, Yang Dingtian stood dumbfounded, frozen in place.
He looked through the cave ahead in one glance.
“Scram…” Just seeing a burst of multicolored dawn light, before even discerning any figures, a soft shout like a thunderclap erupted by his ear.
Following immediately, an irresistible terrifying force acted upon his body— he could no longer control his own physique, and like a tumbling gourd, he rolled along the way he had come from.
“This is definitely an Earth Immortal.”
“The territory of West Barbarian Mountain is not a remote and desolate barbaric wilderness. How can such a terrifying powerful being be hiding here?”
“No, that anomaly just now…”
“This isn’t simply the emergence of a treasure, but that senior, making a breakthrough!”
At that moment, connecting all the dots, Yang Dingtian finally came to a realization.
He was naturally aware of how terrifying the strength of an Earth Immortal-level power could be.
After all, within the main lineage of the overseas Bloodthirsty Holy Sect, there was an Earth Immortal-level powerhouse.
It was precisely because of such a powerhouse that their Bloodthirsty Holy Sect had the qualifications to join the Sect Alliance and become one of its members.
However, the Earth Immortal-level powerhouse, Jue Chenzi, who was revered as a Supreme Elder within their overseas Bloodthirsty Holy Sect, had only caused the spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius to stir when he broke through to Earth Immortal years ago.
A breakthrough to Earth Immortal accompanied by unusual phenomena? Such outrageous occurrences only existed in rumors.
When Jue Chenzi made his breakthrough, Yang Dingtian, as the Sect Master of the Bloodthirsty Holy Sect, had been observing nearby. Besides the surging convergence of spiritual energy, in the empty space, not to say of a shower of blossoms, he hadn’t seen even a single hair.
In such a barren land as the territory of West Barbarian Mountain, could someone achieve Earth Immortal status? And have unusual phenomena accompany the breakthrough?
If someone boasted so in front of Yang Dingtian, he would definitely have sprayed them directly in the face.
It was precisely because of this reason, upon seeing the surging spiritual energy, the blossoming multicolored dawn light, and the chaotic falling flowers in the emptiness afterward,
he still firmly believed that a treasure was being born.
Someone in this place was making a breakthrough to Earth Immortal, causing such an anomaly? Such a preposterous idea had never crossed his mind.
But now, with the facts laid out before his eyes, no matter how much he didn’t want to believe it, he simply couldn’t.
“Run! As far as you can, get away from here…” Rolling out from within the mountain, when he reached the halfway up the mountain outside, he finally scrambled to his feet from the ground.
Daring not delay any further, he readied to turn and flee.
“Without my permission, you dare to recklessly escape from this place, are you tired of living and seeking death?” Just as Yang Dingtian had taken his first step, a cold snort reached his ears.
Standing frozen on the spot, the foot he had lifted unsure whether to set it down or retract, hesitated several times before he awkwardly drew it back to where he started.
After tumbling out from within the mountain, he instinctively ran, simply acting on instinct.
What if, the senior inside the mountain had just succeeded in his breakthrough and simply didn’t have the time to bother with him—couldn’t he then manage to escape successfully?
But now, as that cold snort entered his ears, accompanied by the crisp ‘tap tap tap’ of footsteps,
it appeared the senior was striding out from within.
That Earth Immortal from their overseas Bloodthirsty Sect, Jue Chenzi, could easily crush Yang Dingtian with one finger.
The senior inside the mountain, having just successfully made a breakthrough, and with unusual phenomena accompanying it, his true combat strength would undoubtedly be even greater than that of Jue Chenzi, their order’s Supreme Elder.
Facing such a terrifying powerhouse, how could Yang Dingtian, with his own strength, possibly escape from under this powerhouse’s watchful eye?
In that instant, countless things flitted through Yang Dingtian’s mind.
It seemed to him that he would be better off surrendering and letting that senior handle him, perhaps his chance of survival would then be even higher.
“Senior, please spare my life…” Retracting his steps, Yang Dingtian, without another word, turned around.
Facing the cave he had just rolled out from, he kneeled directly onto the ground
