Boom!
The moment the five-colored divine bull stood up halfway, it was slammed back to the ground by a single palm.
"What?"
The five-colored divine bull was stunned.
As the palm fell, it felt as if a mountain had pressed down on its back.
"This guy is hiding his strength!"
It was only at this moment that the five-colored divine bull realized something was wrong.
The fury in its eyes grew even more intense.
"Damn human, get off me!"
The five-colored divine bull roared, its aura surging again as it braved Luo Tian's Dao Palm and slowly stood up.
"Hmm? Didn't I tell you not to move? Why are you still daring to move? Get down!" Luo Tian frowned, golden light flashing around him.
Boom!
In an instant, the golden hand doubled in size.
Crack!
A loud snap echoed from the five-colored divine bull's body, and its massive form crashed to the ground once again.
"Th-This... did it really break my bones?"
The five-colored divine bull was shocked.
With one palm, it had several bones fractured!
How terrifying was this human's strength?
The body of a demon beast was already much stronger than that of a human, and a divine beast's physique was several times stronger than that of an ordinary demon beast. To break its bones with a single palm... What kind of monster was this human?
Why had it come here, and what was its purpose?
For a moment, the five-colored divine bull dared not move again and obediently lay down on the ground.
"Hmm, isn't this much better?" Luo Tian said, satisfied, as he put away the bottle, which now contained the divine blood of the five-colored divine beast.
"Thank you for your divine blood." Luo Tian turned and prepared to leave.
"Huh? You're leaving just like that?" The five-colored divine bull was stunned.
It had originally thought that Luo Tian had some ulterior motive for coming here, but to its surprise, after getting the divine blood, he simply turned and left.
"Stop!" The five-colored divine bull called out as it stared at Luo Tian's back.
"Hmm? What is it?" Luo Tian turned and looked at it.
The five-colored divine bull gazed at Luo Tian warily, its eyes full of caution.
"Who exactly are you? What is your purpose? Speak plainly, and stop playing games with me. Even if I die, I want to die knowing the truth!" the five-colored divine bull said, glaring at Luo Tian.
"What? Die? Did you just say die?" The bird demons nearby whispered in surprise.
"My heavens, did the protective aura really disperse on its own? That can't be! The master is a divine beast at the Transcendence Realm!"
"Could it be... that human boy is from the Returning Ruins Realm?" Several bird demons stared at Luo Tian in shock.
Hearing the five-colored divine bull's words, Luo Tian smiled faintly and replied, "I'm Luo Tian. I've already said, I only needed a little of your divine blood. As for anything else, I'm not interested."
The five-colored divine bull looked at Luo Tian, its expression seemingly sincere, and it felt slightly relieved. But just as quickly, the intense pain in its body flared up again, making it even angrier.
"Borrow? Is that how you 'borrow'? First, you break my aura, then you break my bones..." It gritted its teeth and said.
Luo Tian shrugged. "I told you not to move, but you still insisted. Don't blame me for that."
"You..." The five-colored divine bull was immediately rendered speechless.
After a pause, Luo Tian said, "Forget it, taking your divine blood by force is indeed a bit too much. How about this? Consider it as me owing you a favor. If you ever need anything, you can go to the Luo family in the Beibei City. I'll help you once."
If anyone else had said this, the five-colored divine bull would have sneered. With its strength, how could it possibly need someone else's help?
However, Luo Tian's words caused the five-colored divine bull to suddenly feel intrigued.
"Are you serious?" the five-colored divine bull asked.
"Of course!" Luo Tian nodded.
"Good. Then I'll have you help me now!" the five-colored divine bull said.
"Huh?" Luo Tian was stunned for a moment.
So soon?
"What? Are you backing out?" the five-colored divine bull snorted.
Luo Tian shook his head. "Of course not. What do you need me to do?"
"Follow me!" the five-colored divine bull said, turning and walking ahead.
Soon, the man and the bull arrived at a desolate place.
This place was different from the other areas of the Tiandang Mountain.
While other areas of the Tiandang Mountain were rich in spiritual energy, with spiritual herbs everywhere, this area was filled with scorched earth, with no plants in sight.
"Look over there!" The five-colored divine bull pointed.
Luo Tian followed its gaze and saw, in the center of the scorched earth, a mound of earth with a rusty ancient sword stuck in it.
The five-colored divine bull took a deep breath and walked over to the solitary grave, using its horns to strike it forcefully.
However...
Boom!
A burst of fire erupted, and the five-colored divine bull was sent flying several hundred feet, crashing heavily into a mountain rock, nearly causing the cliff to collapse.
"This..." Luo Tian was stunned.
The five-colored divine bull staggered forward.
"I need you to either break that sword or pull it out! If you can do that, we'll be even," the five-colored divine bull said in a low voice.
Luo Tian glanced at the solitary grave and the ancient sword before looking at the five-colored divine bull, asking, "Whose sword is that? Who is buried in the grave?"
The five-colored divine bull snorted, "None of your concern. Just tell me if you can help."
Luo Tian thought for a moment and nodded, "Since I've already agreed, I won't back out."
With that, he took a step toward the ancient sword.
"It's all rusted like this..." Luo Tian muttered to himself. After observing it for a moment, he reached out to grab the sword.
However...
Boom!
A blinding flash of fire appeared, and an overwhelming force rushed toward Luo Tian.
Bang!
Luo Tian's hand was knocked back by several feet, and his body staggered half a step backward.
"This..." The five-colored divine bull was startled.
It knew the power of the ancient sword very well. Every time it tried to touch the sword, it would be blasted away. But Luo Tian was only pushed back half a step.
How strong was this guy? Is he really human?
On the other side, Luo Tian's eyes lit up.
"Well, well, this is sword intent? Even without anyone controlling it, the sword intent has such power? The master of this sword, how strong must they be?" Luo Tian said in surprise.
"However, since it's sword intent, forcibly taking it might not work! In that case..." Luo Tian took a deep breath and silently activated the Dao Sword Technique.
In an instant, his aura underwent a drastic change, becoming sharp and fierce.
"Hmm? This guy... why does his aura feel so much stronger?" The five-colored divine bull looked at Luo Tian, feeling more and more suspicious.
It realized that this human before him seemed to be hiding far too many secrets.
Boom!
At this moment, one of Luo Tian's hands had tightly gripped the hilt of the ancient sword.
"He wasn't attacked?" The five-colored divine bull's eyes widened in shock.
This was the first time it had seen someone touch the ancient sword without being attacked.
"Come out!" Luo Tian shouted in a low voice and yanked with all his might.
Clang!
The ancient sword emitted a loud ringing sound, and in an instant, it was pulled from the solitary grave.
Boom!
As the ancient sword was drawn out, a terrifying flame of sword intent erupted into the sky, turning the heavens blood-red in an instant.
"Hmm? Stay in line!" Luo Tian shouted angrily, once again channeling the Dao Sword Technique.
Buzz!
In that moment, the raging sword intent flame in the sky was forcefully suppressed and drawn back into the ancient sword by Luo Tian.
