Chapter 76

Yitian was unaware that the master behind Canglang, the Dark Demon Sect's controller, was actually the brute head demon that had been trapped underground for tens of thousands of years by the Dragon Transformation Vine. At this moment, it was sparing no effort, burning its own essence, to break free in the near future.

He could not have imagined that the adult brute head demon was right beneath the Black Dragon City.

When the brute head demon eventually emerged, the entire Black Dragon City would face a terrible calamity.

After Xiahei devoured the Dark Demon Sect's controller, Canglang, the crisis was finally over. All the tribespeople stopped retreating to the underground space and returned to their homes.

At the same time, the tribal chief, the elders, and the tribal warriors were all shocked. It was the first time they had witnessed Xiahei's power. He had two heads and could devour a human-demon in one bite.

From then on, the way the tribe looked at Xiahei changed to one of great reverence.

Only his mother and Xiaoting treated Xiahei as they always had, without any fear.

This disaster that the human-demon was about to cause was nipped in the bud before it could even begin. No one in Black Dragon City realized that they had narrowly escaped death.

When the various forces and the surviving warriors returned to Black Dragon City, news of the legendary Dragon Pearl's emergence spread, causing a stir in all directions.

In addition, there was another piece of shocking news.

The Dark Demon Sect's controller was actually a human-demon who had allied with the demon race.

After the Black Dragon Clan's leader returned to the Black Dragon City base, he immediately sent the news, as well as the location of the Dragon Pearl, back to the capital through reliable means.

Black Dragon City was a place where all kinds of forces mixed, and it was full of spies from various major forces.

The news of the Dragon Pearl's emergence and the appearance of the human-demon was quickly relayed through various channels to Jingmu County, the capital, and other counties, causing a shock throughout the Tianfeng Empire.

As a result, forces from Jingmu County were the first to arrive in Black Dragon City. They were all arrogant and looked down on the poor and remote Black Dragon City and its warriors.

In addition to the forces from Jingmu County, powerful figures from the capital and other counties also rushed here.

For a time, Black Dragon City was in turmoil.

The forces of the Tianfeng Empire began a massive search in Black Dragon City.

They did not know that the human-demon had already been devoured by Xiahei. In their minds, the Dragon Pearl was likely taken by the Dark Demon Sect's controller. Even though there were rumors that the Dragon Pearl had been swallowed by a small snake, almost no one believed it.

It was a joke to think that an ordinary small snake could swallow the Dragon Pearl. After all, even a super fierce beast could not swallow the Dragon Pearl in one bite. Otherwise, the terrifying energy of the Dragon Pearl would be enough to burst it, leaving no remains.

While the outside world was in turmoil, the Yi tribe remained calm.

During these days, all members of the Reincarnation Team focused on breaking through to the ninth stage.

Finally, the first to break through to the ninth stage was Yili.

Next, Yihong, Yishan, Yikuang, and Yifeng broke through one after another, greatly increasing their strength.

As for Yitian, he was the last to break through, taking a full half month.

All members of the Reincarnation Team broke through to the ninth stage, shocking the entire tribe. Yitian and the others had progressed too quickly, reaching the ninth stage in just a few years.

Even the great leader, Yike, would need at least a few more months to break through to the ninth stage.

After all, the great leader was already over forty years old, making it much harder to break through.

As for the other high-ranking warriors in the tribe, it would take them one to two years, or even four to five years, to break through to the ninth stage.

During this time, the star mud clone finally completely devoured the Dragon Pearl, completing its transformation. It changed from red to dark red, then to black.

On the star mud, each star was like a black hole.

When Yitian used the star mud clone to deduce the Great Sun Heavenly Art, it became much easier. The bottleneck disappeared, and he could deduce more profound mysteries.

At this moment, Yitian began to optimize and deduce the three techniques: the Wild Ox Mountain Splitting Technique, the Fierce Tiger Roaring Technique, and the Wind and Thunder Technique, to a deeper level.

After transforming into black, the star mud's ability to deduce mysteries became even faster. The originally low-grade Earth Rank techniques improved in rank as Yitian continued to deduce them.

Middle-grade Earth Rank, high-grade Earth Rank, supreme-grade Earth Rank...

Yitian found that after the transformation, the black star mud clone's ability to optimize and deduce was terrifying. The process of deducing these Earth Rank techniques was like water flowing smoothly.

Even so, it took Yitian nearly a month and a half to deduce the three techniques to the Heaven Rank.

Looking at the three Heaven Rank techniques, Yitian thought to himself, "The names Wild Ox Mountain Splitting Technique and the others no longer fit Heaven Rank techniques. From now on, these three Heaven Rank techniques will be called the Primal Chaos Heavenly Art, the Tiger Roaring Heavenly Art, and the Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Art!"

These three Heaven Rank techniques were derived from the Wild Ox Mountain Splitting Technique and others, but after repeated deductions and transformations, they had transcended their original forms, pointing directly to the mysteries of the fundamental forces of heaven and earth.

The Primal Chaos Heavenly Art became a technique focused on physical cultivation. Once mastered, it could grant a body capable of rivaling primal beasts, with immense strength and continuous development of physical power.

The Tiger Roaring Heavenly Art was deduced by Yitian into a terrifying sound technique, capable of shattering mountains and rivers with a roar.

The Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Art was a technique that could summon the forces of heaven and earth, transforming into wind, rain, thunder, and ice, manifesting the power of all phenomena.

However, trouble came.

Although Yitian had deduced these three Heaven Rank techniques, with his current strength and means, he could not fully manifest their mysteries for Yifeng and the other members of the Reincarnation Team to comprehend and cultivate.

After all, the mysteries of Heaven Rank techniques were incredibly complex. Even if Yitian personally taught them, without seeing all the mysteries of the Heaven Rank techniques, Yifeng, Yishan, and the others would not be able to cultivate them.

To fully manifest all the mysteries of a Heaven Rank technique, one would need to use extraordinary means to create a divine statue or a legacy treasure.

Even if Yitian handed over the middle-grade and high-grade Earth Rank techniques of the Wild Ox Mountain Splitting Technique, it would be extremely difficult for the tribe to cultivate them without a legacy treasure, as it would be hard to comprehend their profound mysteries.

These middle-grade, high-grade, and supreme-grade Earth Rank techniques contained mysteries far beyond what Yitian had previously deduced from low-grade Earth Rank techniques. The warriors in the tribe could cultivate low-grade Earth Rank techniques because they had a strong connection to the original Human Rank techniques, making them easy to understand.

However, once deduced to middle-grade Earth Rank, the mysteries became incredibly complex and could not be fully comprehended.

With Yitian's ninth-stage cultivation, it was already difficult for him to create a legacy treasure, let alone one for a Heaven Rank technique.

However, Yitian soon found a solution.

But this solution made Yitian hesitant, as it still relied on his star mud clone.

His star mud clone had transformed into black after absorbing all the essence of a Dragon Pearl, allowing him to continue deducing the Great Sun Heavenly Art.

This time, using this method would greatly deplete the star mud clone, and it might even revert to red.

After weighing the options, Yitian made his decision.

He decided to use this method. Only then could the five members of the Reincarnation Team cultivate true Heaven Rank techniques, and their future achievements would be even more brilliant, becoming a great help to him.

Moreover, there would still be opportunities for the star mud to transform again.

Yitian then sought the approval of the tribal chief and led the five members of the Reincarnation Team into the underground space.
