Chapter 999: Chapter 999: Battle Between the Heaven and Earth Dominator and the Food God Ancestor
Under the operation of Yang Xiaotian’s four major cultivation techniques, the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Qi roared and continuously surged into his body.
Soon, a vortex of Heavenly Dao Spiritual Qi formed around his body.
Moreover, the Spiritual Qi vortex was expanding at an astonishing rate.
Enveloped by the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Qi vortex, Yang Xiaotian’s figure gradually disappeared within it.
More than three months passed.
Seeing that time was nearly up, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to stop.
Although he had devoured it with all his might for several months, the accumulation of countless years at the top of Heaven and Earth Mountain was too dense; he couldn’t possibly devour one ten-thousandth of it.
Yang Xiaotian looked at the dense Heavenly Dao Spiritual Qi on the mountaintop and asked Master Ding if there was a way for him to continue cultivating on the peak of Heaven and Earth Mountain.
Master Ding shook his head, "Once the time comes, Heaven and Earth Mountain will recede far away, and the prohibitive power of Heaven and Earth Mountain’s restrictions will cover every inch of the mountain. Nobody will be able to stay on Heaven and Earth Mountain."
"Unless."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help asking, "Unless what?"
"Unless you confirm the Dao," Master Ding said. "If you do, you might have a chance to stay on Heaven and Earth Mountain."
The thought in Yang Xiaotian’s heart was immediately extinguished.
He could only get up and leave the mountaintop region.
However, upon leaving the mountaintop region, he did not see his master, the Heaven and Earth Dominator, only the Great Profound Sword Sect Ancestor and a few people from Kaitian Academy, such as Wei Sheng.
Yang Xiaotian asked them and then learned that the Burying God Master had led the Army of Living Dead in a fierce attack on the Desolate Continent. The situation there was critical, so his master led the people from the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion to rush back to the Desolate Continent ahead of them.
Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help but wonder, why was the Burying God Master suddenly launching a fierce attack on the Desolate Continent again?
Could there have been some unforeseen event?
Upon learning of the changes in the Desolate Continent, Yang Xiaotian didn’t delay a moment any longer. He drove the Hanhai Boat with all his might, and along with everyone else, left Heaven and Earth Mountain.
They had just passed through the layer of currents and had not gone too far when they heard a thunderous rumbling behind them. Turning to look back, they saw Heaven and Earth Mountain, amidst the violent shaking of the surrounding airflow, turn into a streak of light and disappear into the vastness of space.
It vanished from the vast expanse of starry space in the blink of an eye.
Watching the disappearing Heaven and Earth Mountain, Yang Xiaotian retracted his gaze and then continued to drive the spaceship with the others, hurrying back to the Desolate Continent.
Thirty thousand years later, in the battle of Heaven and Earth Mountain, he would climb to the top of Heaven and Earth Mountain once again!
By then, he would stay at the summit, completely devouring all of the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth Mountain.
Although the battle of Heaven and Earth Mountain had ended, Yang Xiaotian did not relax. Instead, he continued to practice by consuming Divine Fruits in the secret chamber.
He was not doing this solely to take control of Heaven and Earth Mountain, this Dao Divine Artifact, next time.
While cultivating by consuming Divine Fruits, Yang Xiaotian also took time to devour the Dragon Essence from the Primordial Dragon Dragon Pearl, striving to break through to the nineteenth layer of the Ancient Beginning Dragon Technique. Now, his Ancient Beginning Dragon Technique had already reached the late eighteenth layer, and it was not far from the nineteenth layer.
The Hanhai Boat kept flying toward the Desolate Continent.
The Great Profound Sword Sect Ancestor looked in the direction of the Desolate Continent, his heart burning with impatience.
Because the battle between their Emperor and the Food God Ancestor was getting increasingly closer.
He wondered how their Emperor was preparing.
Thinking of the tasks their Emperor had entrusted to them before, a heaviness settled in the heart of the Great Profound Sword Sect Ancestor.
However, just as Yang Xiaotian and the others were about to return to the Desolate Continent, news came from there that the Army of Living Dead had suddenly withdrawn.
"Retreated?" Yang Xiaotian was quite surprised.
The Great Profound Sword Sect Ancestor also felt puzzled.
The Army of Living Dead had been fiercely attacking the Desolate Continent these past days, only to suddenly withdraw—there seemed to be something odd going on.
Thinking about the Burying God Master’s sudden escape, the unease in the heart of the Great Profound Sword Sect Ancestor intensified.
Could it be?
"Young Mansion Master, let’s speed up even more!" the Great Profound Sword Sect Ancestor said to Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian saw the urgency of the Great Profound Sword Sect Ancestor and couldn’t help but feel puzzled; nevertheless, he and the others put their full effort into driving the flying ship, accelerating once again.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s confusion, the Great Profound Sword Sect Ancestor voiced his own worries.
Upon hearing that the Great Profound Sword Sect Ancestor was concerned that the Burying God Master might harm his master, Yang Xiaotian’s expression changed.
Then, the Great Profound Sword Sect Ancestor spoke of the unease that the Heaven and Earth Dominator had previously felt on Heavenly Dao Mountain.
Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian felt even more weighted down.
"Master Ding, is there any way to speed up even further?" Yang Xiaotian asked Master Ding.
Master Ding shook his head, "Unless you have a High Grade Chaos Spirit Stone." He then said, "Otherwise, you can only use a Space-Time Talisman!"
A Space-Time Talisman!
Yang Xiaotian immediately took out all the Space-Time Talismans he had on him and continuously enhanced the Hanhai Boat with them.
But Yang Xiaotian still found it too slow. While enhancing with the Space-Time Talismans, he took out materials and started to refine new Space-Time Talismans. Now that his cultivation had improved, the newly refined Space-Time Talismans were even more powerful.
Sure enough, when Yang Xiaotian used the newly refined Space-Time Talismans on the Hanhai Boat, the speed of the boat increased even further.
As Yang Xiaotian continued to refine Space-Time Talismans, at last, the Desolate Continent loomed in the distance.
Upon returning to the Desolate Continent, Yang Xiaotian continually enhanced the Hanhai Boat, rushing back towards the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion. Passing through some cities, he saw nothing but ruins and rubble everywhere—clearly the destruction left by the Army of Living Dead’s previous invasion.
Although the Army of Living Dead had already retreated, many empires were still under martial law.
However, when Yang Xiaotian reached the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion, he was informed that his master, the Heaven and Earth Dominator, and his senior brother Zhao Ming had already gone to Severing Heaven Peak.
Severing Heaven Peak was precisely where his master and the Food God Ancestor had agreed to duel.
"Why has my master gone there so early?" Yang Xiaotian wondered. There were still ten days until the arranged day of the duel, and normally one wouldn’t head to Severing Heaven Peak so soon.
Elder Zhang Jingzhi said, "Shi Tianlong has completed his seclusion, and he has reissued a challenge, moving the date of the duel up by ten days. His Majesty has already agreed!"
"What, moved up by ten days!" Yang Xiaotian’s face went pale. If the date had been moved up by ten days, did that not mean today was the day of the great battle between his master and Shi Tianlong!
"Let’s go!"
"To Severing Heaven Peak!"
Yang Xiaotian roared and soared into the sky, driving the Hanhai Boat with the Great Profound Sword Sect Ancestor towards Severing Heaven Peak at top speed.
Although Severing Heaven Peak was not too far from the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion, it was not close either; even with Yang Xiaotian continuously enhancing the Hanhai Boat with Space-Time Talismans, it would take about an hour to reach Severing Heaven Peak.
"Severing Heaven Peak, Severing Heaven Peak!" Yang Xiaotian drove the Hanhai Boat with all his might, repeatedly murmuring the name Severing Heaven Peak.
As Yang Xiaotian rushed towards Severing Heaven Peak, the place was already crowded with people.
The fight between the Heaven and Earth Dominator and the Food God Ancestor had been moved up suddenly, catching many off guard. However, many powerful figures from various sects had still managed to rush to Severing Heaven Peak to witness this earth-shattering battle.
At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Dominator and the Food God Ancestor each stood atop Severing Heaven Peak.
"Guo Yun, heh, long time no see," Food God Ancestor Shi Tianlong stared at Yang Xiaotian, his eyes a sinister green. "I wonder if you still remember? You wounded me right here, back in the day!"
"Of course, I remember." The Heaven and Earth Dominator looked at Shi Tianlong, "Back then, to save you, several Ancient Ancestors of your Food God Clan were all slain by me right here!"
