Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 492: Feeling Surprised

Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Feeling Surprised

What is a valley?

Upon hearing the young man’s question, Lin Zhiruo was momentarily speechless, unsure of how to respond.

Wanhua Valley, as one of the "Three Sects and One Valley" in the Cultivation World, might not be as prominent as the three sects, but its strength cannot be underestimated.

Otherwise, how could we keep up with the pace of these rival sects?

Normally, as long as Lin Zhiruo mentioned the name Wanhua Valley, who wouldn’t know of it?

But now, this seemingly young yet suffocatingly intense youth stood before her, asking what valley it was. This... This moment left her astonished.

Could this person in front of her be one of those ancient monsters who never reveal themselves?

But that didn’t seem like the right assumption.

This time, all the young core disciples of the Cultivation World came from the Three Sects, the Four Gates, and the Valley. They had never heard of any ancient monsters appearing!

Besides, as a disciple of Wanhua Valley, Lin Zhiruo was quite sensitive to the spiritual essence of life. She could sense Yang Tian’s vitality and vigor. He lacked the stagnant aura of an ancient monster nearing the end of their days, and she felt his true age might be far younger than hers.

Were there other disciples she didn’t know of from beyond these groups?

Thinking this, Lin Yunruo bowed once more and said, "I am but a humble disciple of Wanhua Valley. May I ask if brother is a disciple of Zongjian Ridge, Ghost King Sect, or Qingming Sect?"

"Zongjian Ridge, Ghost King Sect, Qingming Sect? I belong to none!"

The young man slowly stood up, gazing nonchalantly at Lin Zhiruo and Xiao Huan before stating, "I am Yang Tian of Wanhua Valley!"

You heard that correctly!

The black-haired, black-robed youth standing before them was Yang Tian, the mythical figure who had entered the Immortal Relics and was transformed by its mysterious techniques.

On that day, the spirit of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Tiger had identified Yang Tian as a descendant of the Demon Family and imparted the ancestral demonic techniques along with its own legacy. Ever since, Yang Tian had practiced atop Lingshan, devouring the immense Devil Essence contained in those remnants and converting it into his own power.

To note how powerful the spirit was!

Even after Yang Tian refined only the essence while discarding the impurities, the mere act of absorption caused him tremendous gains. Months later, Yang Tian achieved yet another breakthrough; through his devouring technique, he shattered the limits of three realms, ascending directly to the peak of the Divine Separation Realm, near the threshold of the Tribulation stage—all in a single half-step!

This achievement equated to saving Yang Tian a hundred years of cultivation!

If not for the fact that Yang Tian had been on Six Miles Square and unprepared for crossing the Tribulation stage, he might have bypassed Lei Ming’s Tribulation entirely and truly entered the next stage!

And so, when Lin Zhiruo stepped into the fading Immortal Relics, what she saw as the desolated remnants was merely the aftermath of Yang Tian devouring all its essence!

"Yang... Tian..."

Lin Zhi listened to Yang Tian’s response, furrowing her brows slightly, trying to recall if a strong figure named Yang Tian existed in the Cultivation Country.

But before she could think further, Xiao Huan suddenly screamed, jumping up and pointing at Yang Tian, "You... You... Your name... what does it mean?"

"What’s wrong with my name, Yang Tian?" A subtle frown appeared on Yang Tian’s face.

"What’s wrong? It’s just... too... It’s unbelievable!"

Xiao Huan, who was usually sharp-tongued, began to stammer uncontrollably. She turned to Lin Zhiruo and said, "Miss, he... he is Yang Tian, the mythical figure of the Lower Realm! During his prime in the Yuan Ying stage, he could even suppress Mr. Yang’s power!"

"He is Yang Tian?"

Upon hearing Xiao Huan’s words, Lin Zhiruo’s eyes revealed astonishment.

When she sensed Yang Tian’s aura earlier, her first thought was to figure out if there was someone with such force among the individuals she knew in the Cultivation World—but the possibility of him being a person from the Lower Realm hadn’t crossed her mind.

After all, as she had mentioned before, the imperfect realm-bounded system of the Lower Realm—be it talent or cultivation resources—simply could not compare to the Cultivation World.

Among them, countless geniuses emerged.

But only a rare few ever reached the level of core disciples.

A mere 18-year-old Yang Tian emitted such vitality and vigor that she suspected his true age in the Cultivation World might not even exceed 25!

Even more astonishingly, from Yang Tian’s aura, it was clear he had surpassed the Yuan Ying stage and entered a state that few could comprehend!

How could demons of such caliber emerge from the Lower Realm so aligned with absolute truths?

Magnificent! Magnificent! Truly astonishing!

Listening to Yang Tian’s haunting whispers, Lin Zhiruo’s face changed drastically. Unceasingly, she pulled Xiao Huan backward.

Watching as Yang Tian’s entire being became enveloped in a black aura, the ground beneath him—the mighty Lingshan—shattered completely, causing even Six Miles Square to begin trembling.

When Lin Zhiruo and Xiao Huan fled Lingshan, they were utterly stunned.

Because in that very moment, the majestic peak of Lingshan had completely collapsed into ruins under the burst of Yang Tian’s tremendous aura!

Such power, such strength!

If Lin Zhiruo had previously only speculated or questioned, now she was almost certain—Yang Tian had fully reached the Divine Separation Realm!

"Unbelievable... unexpected! In this Lower Realm, there exists such a monster! One who has no equals before or after him!"

If Lin Zhiruo thought this, she stared at Yang Tian with greater reverence, never once considering the possibility of escape or initiating any kind of transmission battle.

Even as she desperately clung to Xiao Huan, it was a futile gesture!

She knew that with Yang Tian’s immense strength, escape was impossible!

It would be wiser to stay put and observe.

Time seemed to stretch endlessly.

The terrifying black aura finally dissipated, and Yang Tian approached Lin Zhiruo once more. His icy voice cut sharply through the air as he asked, "Do your hands carry the blood of Lower Border People?"

"Returning to you, predecessor, this younger generation of the Lower Realm has been exploring the fading Immortal Relics this month; no battles have taken place here!" Lin Zhiruo hurriedly explained.

Xiao Huan also nodded despairingly. Clearly, whether it was Yang Tian’s overwhelming presence or the collapse of Lingshan’s peak, both were more than enough to terrify the lively young girl!

Yang Tian listened to Lin Zhiruo’s words, holding his breath briefly before asking again, "Who are Ouyang Xu and Jiang Feng?"

"Ouyang Xu is the leading core disciple of Chenjian Sect; Jiang Feng is the leading core disciple of Mao Taoist Sect. Both are Yuan Ying peak-level cultivators, but the warriors they command are immensely powerful!"

At this, Lin Yunruo looked at Yang Tian and said, "Most importantly, whether it’s the Sword Sect or Mad Saber Sect, they are formidable clans in the Cultivation World, with countless strong practitioners within their ranks!"

"Strong practitioners? Countless? Haha, what of it? Just listen to me!" Yang Tian chuckled softly.

Indeed, Ouyang Xu and Jiang Feng’s masters were elders of their respective sects. Whether it was the elder of the Divine Sword Sect or the elder of Mao Taoist Sect, they were all at the level of Divine Peak strength!"

Lin Zhiruo immediately explained, "Predecessor, while your strength is great, if you seek revenge against Ouyang Xu or Jiang Feng, you may provoke their masters. A single moment of carelessness could lead them to you!"

The pinnacle of Divine Separation Realm?

Yang Tian chuckled coldly.

After all this time refining the demonic Devil Essence, Yang Tian had reached the edge of Tribulation, just half a step away, ready to transcend at any moment!

What techniques was Yang Tian cultivating?

The magic returning to this world!

This was Yang Tian’s unique mystical work, synthesizing the boundless universe with the mysterious Divine Book and combining celestial truths to reach the ancestral way of the Devil!

Let alone his peers trembling at the pinnacle of Divine Separation!

Even facing ancient monsters already in the Tribulation stage, Yang Tian now possessed the confidence to battle them all at once!
