Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

In an instant, under the astonished gaze of Yao Xiaotian, nearly a hundred ferocious beasts, all made of fire, fell from the sky and broke into the tide of ferocious beasts that were continuously attacking them. Wherever they went, all the ferocious beasts were reduced to ashes, and the whole situation was reversed in an instant.

In mid-air, Xiao Yan looked at the flaming beasts below, which were sweeping away the endless tide of ferocious beasts with the force of thunder. The scorching flames dyed the wasteland red, and even the temperature suddenly increased several times.

Xiao Yan looked at Yao Tianhuo, who was calm and composed with his hands in his pockets, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Admittedly, in terms of single combat capability, Yao Tianhuo, a two-star Douluo in the late stage, is indeed not as good as four-star Douluo such as Cai Lin and Fenghuang. But when it comes to clearing out these relatively weaker ferocious beasts, Yao Tianhuo will definitely be far ahead. The Ten Thousand Wheels Lihuo Method alone is not something that ordinary people can understand.

Gathering such a dense and high concentration of fire beasts, and being able to differentiate into such a large number, and being able to precisely control the actions of each fire beast, this kind of fire control ability can really be said to be unique in the world.

But in just a moment, under the shocked gazes of Yao Xiaotian and his group, the group of ferocious beasts that had been surging like a tide had turned into a pile of black ashes and scattered across the wasteland.

"It's over. These beasts can't stand being burned."

Yao Tianhuo shrugged lightly, raised his hand and waved it gently, dispersing the grinning fire beasts below. The next moment after the fire beasts dispersed, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and heavy rain fell immediately, quickly cooling down this high-temperature area.

Under the baptism of the downpour, Yao Xiaotian suddenly came back to his senses, looked up at the Yao Tianhuo and Xiao Yan slowly falling, and the downpour slowly stopped.

To be more precise, Yao Xiaotian only paid attention to Yao Tianhuo, and as for Xiao Yan, who was at the peak of the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun level, he was simply ignored by him.

And Yao Xiaotian was shocked again after realizing the realm of Yaotian Fire. He never expected that Yaotian Fire, which could burn the tide of ferocious beasts so easily, was actually a whole realm lower than his own.

However, although he did not expect it, Yao Xiaotian did not feel that there was anything to be afraid of. It was just the characteristics of the fighting skills. Yao Tianhuo's own strength was there. With a difference of one realm, it would be impossible for him to defeat him alone.

So this woman is a soul?

Sensing Yao Tianhuo's current condition, Yao Xiaotian couldn't believe it. He had never heard of a soul body being able to cultivate to such a level. This was considered unique.

However, although Yao Xiaotian had so many thoughts in his heart and was quite disdainful of Yao Tianhuo's strength, he was still polite on the surface and bowed to thank Yao Tianhuo who landed in front of them.

"Thank you for your help, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have become the food of these monsters." Even though he knew that the opponent's strength was far inferior to his, Yao Xiaotian's face did not reveal the slightest disrespect, and he asked respectfully: "I am Yao Xiaotian, the current patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. May I ask your name?"

"I am Yao Tianhuo, the mediator of Tianhe League. Helping you is just a matter of convenience. You don't need to thank me too much." Yao Tianhuo grinned and replied, then looked at Xiao Yan beside him, "This is the current executor of Tianhe League, Xiao Yan. I came here to help him seize the opportunity of Bodhi Ancient Tree."

"Junior Xiao Yan greets the demon clan leader."

Xiao Yan clasped his fists and saluted, while Yao Xiaotian was slightly stunned after hearing Yao Tianhuo's introduction.

Tianhe League? Xiao Yan?

Yao Xiaotian naturally knew what kind of force the Tianhe Alliance was. You have to know that in recent years the Tianhe Alliance has almost gathered all the forces of the entire Zhongzhou Continent. It would be strange if Yao Xiaotian didn't know it.

As far as Yao Xiaotian knew, the reason why the Tianhe Alliance was able to quickly incorporate all forces from the Zhongzhou Continent in a very short period of time was because of the executor named Xiao Yan.

At the same time, Yao Xiaotian also knew that the destruction of the Tianming Sect was not only caused by Nalan Yanran, but also by Master and Disciple Xiao Yan.

Thinking of this, Yao Xiaotian felt hatred surge in his heart.

If Xiao Yan had not intervened, he might have already obtained the artificial Dou Sheng technology of the Tianming Sect. If that were the case, he would not have to bring his family's high-end strength to the Savage Ancient Domain to compete for the opportunity to obtain the Ancient Bodhi Tree.

Although the biggest beneficiaries of the opportunity of the ancient Bodhi tree are practitioners below the level of Fighting Saint, Bodhi seeds and Bodhi mind are also rare treasures. If one can get more, it can greatly enhance the strength of oneself and the tribe. This is also the purpose of Yao Xiaotian's coming here.

However, although Yao Xiaotian was filled with hatred, his facial expression did not reveal anything, and he already had other plans in mind, so he asked politely.

"Where are you two going next?"

"Ah~ We are also having a headache." Yao Tianhuo scratched his fiery red hair and said helplessly: "We only got the news that the ancient Bodhi tree is in the wild ancient area, but we don't know exactly where it is, so we have been wandering around aimlessly. Isn't it a coincidence that we ran into you?"

"I see." Yao Xiaotian nodded, stretched out his hand and suggested: "In this case, why don't we act together?"

"Oh?"

Yao Tianhuo raised his eyebrows slightly, motioning for Yao Xiaotian to continue, and the latter continued.

"To be honest, I was lucky enough to swallow a Bodhi seed, so I have an invisible sense of where the ancient Bodhi tree is, and I can find it quickly." Yao Xiaotian paused and continued, "As you have seen just now, there are many fierce beasts in this wild ancient domain. With our strength, it may be difficult to reach the location of the ancient Bodhi tree safely. It is better for us to travel together, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary risks. What do you think?"

“Roar~ In other words, you lead the way for us, and I help you to eliminate the ferocious beasts, right?” Yao Tianhuo pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, “Xiao Yan, what do you think?”

"Well, this is mutually beneficial, which is not bad." Xiao Yan nodded slightly, looked at Yao Xiaotian and asked: "But Yao Clan Leader, after all, you and I are not from the same faction. After we find the ancient Bodhi tree, how should the opportunity be divided?"

"Please don't worry about that. I came here just to get some Bodhi seeds. As for Bodhicitta and the opportunity to attain enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, I am willing to give it to you."

Yao Xiaotian spoke so sincerely, without a trace of falsehood in his words, and after hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled.

"That's great. Speaking of which, Chief of the Demon Clan, what is your impression of the Tianhe Alliance?"

Xiao Yan stretched out a hand and asked Yao Xiaotian. Yao Xiaotian curled his lips in disdain in his heart, but still spoke words of praise.

"An unprecedented force that has been able to gather almost all the forces in Zhongzhou in just a few years must be supported by the people and deserves admiration. Little friend Xiao Yan is a young talent that is rarely seen in a thousand years."

“You are too kind, Chief of the Demon Clan.” Xiao Yan modestly pushed his hand and continued, “To be honest, Xiao Yan has long wanted to visit Chief of the Demon Clan to discuss joining the Tianhe Alliance. If this meeting can be used as an opportunity to facilitate this, it will undoubtedly be a greater opportunity for Xiao Yan than the ancient Bodhi tree.”

Xiao Yan said this with great sincerity, and although Yao Xiaotian responded with a smile, his heart was already filled with disgust.

Because of the events of the Tianming Sect, Yao Xiaotian already had a negative impression of Xiao Yan. Moreover, he had also heard that the Tianhe Alliance had established many rules that did not allow the forces under its name to touch upon them. This made Yao Xiaotian, who always acted with a Warcraft mindset, particularly repulsive.

However, Yao Xiaotian thought so in his heart, but said something else.

"To be honest, I have had this idea for a long time. How about this? After leaving the Savage Ancient Territory this time, I will personally visit the Tianhe League and discuss with you about joining the Tianhe League." "That would be great."

Xiao Yan nodded with a smile on his face, and Yao Tianhuo interjected.

"We'll talk about this after we get out. Let's go find the ancient Bodhi tree first."

"Well, please follow me."

Yao Xiaotian nodded, led his men and walked in one direction. Xiao Yan and Yao Tianhuo looked at each other and then followed.

After everyone left the wasteland, the figures of Cai Lin and others appeared leisurely in the air in the distance, looking at Xiao Yan and others who had already gone away.

"Tsk, this guy Xiao Yan just likes to waste time on these things."

Cai Lin crossed her arms and pouted unhappily. Yao Chen at the side whispered to comfort her.

"There's nothing we can do. Xiao Yanzi does want to form an alliance with the Nine Nether Earth Python, but we don't know what kind of people they are. This is the only way we can do it."

Xiao Yan only brought the Yaotian Fire to help Yao Xiaotian and others out of trouble, not only to show his goodwill to them, but also to make Yao Xiaotian let down his guard as much as possible.

As mentioned before, it was indeed quite easy for Yao Tianhuo to clean up the ferocious beast just now, but in terms of single combat ability, he was only slightly stronger than those of the same level, and could not be compared with Yao Xiaotian, who was in the late stage of three-star Douluo.

Precisely because there is no comparison, it will be easier for Yao Xiaotian to expose his true colors. What will be their outcome afterwards depends on what Yao Xiaotian does.

"Come on, let's follow them."

Following Yao Chen's order, everyone disappeared from the spot again, keeping a distance so as not to be discovered and following closely behind Xiao Yan and the others.

After walking for several hours, Xiao Yan and Yao Tianhuo, who were following Yao Xiaotian and others, saw that the originally barren ancient domain was suddenly filled with a huge dense jungle in front of them. The trees in the jungle were at least a hundred feet high, which was rare in the world.

Even if they stood on the outskirts of the jungle, they could see a towering tree hundreds of meters high standing in the towering dense forest. The thick trunk seemed to be hundreds of meters wide from a distance. One could tell at a glance that this tree was extraordinary.

That is the ancient Bodhi tree?

Xiao Yan and Yao Tianhuo came to this conclusion at the same time, and Yao Xiaotian also spoke sideways to confirm their guesses.

"You two, this is where the ancient Bodhi tree is. As you can see, the tallest tree is the purpose of our trip, the ancient Bodhi tree." Yao Xiaotian paused, looked at the forest and continued, "Originally, this should have been a wasteland, but it is because of the appearance of the ancient Bodhi tree that lush trees have grown here."

"I see."

Xiao Yan nodded. No wonder the dense jungle here was so out of place with the ancient wilderness. It seemed to be influenced by the ancient Bodhi tree.

But why?
Xiao Yan stared at the dense forest he was heading towards, his brows furrowed tightly.

Always feel a little weird?

Yao Tianhuo on the side also frowned. Like Xiao Yan, she also felt that there was a subtle sense of disharmony in the dense forest ahead, but she couldn't figure out why.

Before Xiao Yan and Yao Tianhuo could figure it out, Yao Xiaotian spoke again.

"You two, please come with me."

So, Yao Xiaotian took his men and took the lead in entering the dense forest. Seeing this, Xiao Yan and Yao Tianhuo put aside their doubts and followed, breaking into the giant tree forest together.

After entering this dense forest, Xiao Yan and Yao Tianhuo immediately discovered something was wrong.

The trees in this dense forest looked very tall from the outside, but after entering, I found that they were even taller than I had imagined, a little too tall.

At this moment, Yao Xiaotian at the front spoke again.

"You two, do you know that every time the ancient Bodhi tree appears in the world, it will create an illusion?"

Yao Xiaotian said this and continued his narration without waiting for Xiao Yan and Yao Tianhuo to reply.

"The ancient Bodhi tree knows that it is coveted by the world, and there are many people with bad intentions among them. Therefore, every time it appears in the world, it will create a dense jungle that looks very similar to where it is, in order to confuse the world. Unless someone enters this illusion, the real hiding place of the ancient Bodhi tree will be revealed."

"By the way, I have never eaten Bodhi seeds, but I have one. That is why I was able to use the Bodhi seed to find this environment, and with the help of the Bodhi seed, I was able to escape from this illusion."

"And once a person without a bodhi seed steps into this dense forest, it is equivalent to falling into a terrifying illusion from which it is difficult to escape. The result is that they will be trapped here for eternity, unable to escape all day long."

As Yao Xiaotian said this, his voice changed from respectful to increasingly sinister. After he said the last sentence, Xiao Yan and Yao Tianhuo also reacted and stared at Yao Xiaotian in astonishment.

"you?!"

"Goodbye, you two, thank you for helping us eat this illusion!"

Yao Xiaotian laughed wildly, and Yao Tianhuo's eyes suddenly became stern. He turned into a ball of fire and disappeared into the distance. When he appeared again, he was behind Yao Xiaotian, and the Lihuo Blade in his hand was swung at Yao Xiaotian mercilessly.

Yao Tianhuo remembered what Yao Xiaotian had just said. The Bodhi seed that could help them leave the illusion was on him. As long as they snatched the Bodhi seed from him, they and Xiao Yan would be able to break through this illusion!
puff!

However, as the Lihuo Blade was swung, Yao Xiaotian's figure disappeared without a trace like a bubble, and even his men disappeared.

This scene made Xiao Yan and Yao Tianhuo react at the same time, and their faces became extremely ugly.

Damn it! I got cheated! (End of this chapter)
