Ye Tian and Windwalker Fan Fenglin headed straight to the Dragon's Tribulation Site after leaving the Cold Family. They had already wasted a lot of time returning to the Cold Family, so they aimed to travel quickly, as Wang Tianba was likely already there.
Both of them utilized Skyward Martial Arts. The Windwalker Young Master's Point Water Without Trace was quite extraordinary, allowing them to move forward with the help of the wind from Yuqi Tayan Jue. Not only was their speed impressive, but they also felt quite comfortable.
Around early morning the next day, they arrived at the site of their previous battle. After surveying the area, they discovered that Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti had vanished without a trace. It was evident that he must have gone to seize the Divine Dragon Treasure.
During their inspection, Ye Tian paused in front of a giant tree. The tree was as thick as two embraces and had been damaged in the previous battle; it now lay broken on the ground.
This fallen giant tree blocked the spot where Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti had been struck down, suggesting that he had done this intentionally.
Ye Tian and Windwalker Fan Fenglin exchanged glances, both wearing puzzled expressions.
"What does this mean?" Ye Tian asked, looking perplexed.
"I don't know," replied the Windwalker Young Master, shaking his head before walking around the giant tree.
"Young Master Ye, come look! There are words on it," called out the Windwalker Young Master, having circled to the front of the tree.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian approached and focused his gaze. He saw a line of small characters carved into the thick trunk: "Ye Tian Fan Fenglin, once I obtain the Divine Dragon Treasure, I will surely shatter your bodies into pieces!"
After reading it, Fan Fenglin could only smile wryly, feeling a sense of desolation.
It seemed he was affected by the words. Although Black Wind Stronghold was not a good place, during this time, with the destruction of the Bandit Camp, and many lives lost among the Five Great Warriors, it was hard for anyone to bear. Even Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, who had originally been regarded as a brother by the Windwalker Young Master, had finally turned against him. This situation would indeed be difficult for anyone to endure.
"Let's go," said the Windwalker Young Master, taking one last look at the inscription on the tree trunk. He then took a deep breath and led the way forward.
Seeing this, Ye Tian felt uncertain about how to comfort him. After all, the fallout between Xu Fan and him was directly related to himself. Although Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti had never truly regarded the Windwalker Young Master as a brother, their falling out might not necessarily be a bad thing. However, that was not something for Ye Tian to say.
The atmosphere grew heavy; while Windwalker Young Master felt weighed down, Ye Tian was quite anxious. They continued on in silence, which inadvertently increased their speed.
Around noon, Ye Tian sensed they might have taken a wrong turn. So he ascended a towering ancient tree over twenty zhang tall and looked around. He saw that they were less than a hundred miles from the forest shrouded in black mist. With about three more hours of travel, they should reach it.
"How is it? Have we gone off course?" asked the Windwalker Young Master, who also gracefully landed on the trunk of the tree and followed Ye Tian's gaze ahead.
"No, it's just slightly off course. Look, that forest shrouded in black mist is the Dragon's Tribulation Site," Ye Tian pointed out.
The Windwalker Young Master squinted into the distance and saw a forest in the east enveloped in a hazy black mist. However, the mist was quite thin; if one got closer, it would likely be hard to notice.
"I've heard that the Divine Dragon is a Crimson Dragon. Why is there black mist covering the forest? Are you sure about this?" The Windwalker Young Master looked at Ye Tian. He wasn't doubting Ye Tian, but time was of the essence. Although a hundred miles wasn't too far, it was certainly not close either. If they took a wrong turn, the Divine Dragon Treasure might fall into Wang Tianba's hands.
"If it were a Crimson Dragon, I wouldn't be mistaken. There's a lake within that forest where I personally saw the Divine Dragon rise from the water, its head was indeed red, but I couldn't see its body," Ye Tian explained.
Hearing this, the Windwalker Young Master nodded and said, "Then let's hurry. Wang Tianba and his group are probably already there."
"There's no rush." Ye Tian waved his hand and continued to gaze at the area where the black mist lingered. Meanwhile, he was deep in thought, comparing details in his mind. After a moment, he concluded that this black mist was definitely much weaker than last time.
In fact, upon seeing the black mist, Ye Tian had been contemplating this matter. The presence of black mist indicated that while the Divine Dragon's Tribulation had not succeeded, it had also not been struck dead by the lightning tribulation. A failed tribulation without death meant that the Divine Dragon had sustained serious injuries, and the weakening of the black mist confirmed this point.
"We don't need to hurry; arriving early won't help," Ye Tian said as he leaped down from the trees and began walking briskly.
Although walking quickly contained an element of speed, it was still worlds apart from Skyward Martial Arts. The Windwalker Young Master used Point Water Without Trace to catch up and asked in confusion, "Why aren't we in a hurry? By my calculations, Wang Tianba and his group should have already arrived."
"Even if they have arrived, it doesn't matter. It would be just right for them to fight with the Divine Dragon," Ye Tian replied with a smile.
"What do you mean? Young Master Ye, please clarify," the Windwalker Young Master pressed further.
"From my analysis, the Divine Dragon is already injured and its power has greatly diminished. However, it should still have no trouble dealing with a few mere Martial Mastery individuals," Ye Tian said as he raised his hand to strike down a suddenly darting poisonous snake before continuing, "That black mist must be the foul air shed during the Divine Dragon's Tribulation. When I came last time, the foul air was thick, but now it has almost completely dissipated. This situation can only be explained by one possibility: the Divine Dragon has suffered severe injuries and its life signs are rapidly fading."
"If that's the case, we should hurry even more; otherwise, if the Divine Dragon dies, obtaining the Divine Dragon Treasure will be as easy as reaching into a bag for Wang Tianba," after hearing Ye Tian's explanation, the Windwalker Young Master felt even more puzzled.
Ye Tian shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Fan, you are underestimating the Divine Dragon. Even if it has only one breath left, killing a few Martial Masters would require no more effort than crushing an ant."
The Windwalker Young Master still felt uneasy upon hearing this but remained silent as he followed Ye Tian quickly toward the area shrouded in black mist.
In truth, Ye Tian remained calm because he had calculated things out in his mind. He compared the density of the black mist from last time with this time and calculated based on time to reach an approximately accurate conclusion: that the black mist would completely dissipate at least one day later. In other words, the Divine Dragon would completely die after one day.
And during this day’s time, arriving earlier would mean facing greater dangers. The Divine Dragon was not like other beasts; being invaded by insignificant humans before its death would surely infuriate it. A cornered dog will jump over walls; how much more so for a majestic Divine Dragon?
"I want to obtain the Divine Dragon Treasure, and I must eliminate the Divine Dragon; otherwise, the result will only be losing my life for nothing.
A hundred miles is nothing for two individuals skilled in Skyward Martial Arts. Even if they just walk quickly, with their Martial Origin Power, their speed is definitely not slow. They can reach the Dragon's Tribulation Site within a day without fail.
Along the way, Ye Tian was calm and composed, but the Windwalker Young Master was not as relaxed. He frequently leaped onto trees to look around, making it clear how anxious he was.
Seeing this, Ye Tian did not explain because the reason for Windwalker Young Master's anxiety was quite simple. He had previously followed Hu Lue and Wang Tianba, both of whom were tyrannical individuals. Now that he had finally encountered the courteous Cold Boyuan, he naturally wanted to help the Cold Family. If he could resolve the Cold Family's crisis, he would surely be able to establish himself within the Cold Family in the future, thus finding a good place to settle down.
In other words, the more anxious Windwalker Young Master was, the more it indicated his loyalty to the Cold Family.
About three hours later, as the Sun Shadow sank in the west, the already dim Forest became even darker. Strange screeches occasionally echoed from unknown places, sounding quite eerie.
"We're about thirty or forty miles away from the Dragon's Tribulation Site," Windwalker Young Master said as he jumped down from an ancient tree. His tone was no longer anxious because for them, possessing Skyward Martial Arts, thirty or forty miles could be covered in about an hour if they hurried.
"What about that black mist?" Ye Tian asked.
"It's too dark to see clearly," Windwalker Young Master replied as he took out a water pouch and drank it all at once. Although they hadn't been rushing along the way, he felt quite anxious inside. When one is anxious, it leads to irritability; with irritation comes thirst. Now that he could finally relax his mind, he felt an overwhelming thirst.
"Well, let's take a moment..."
Roar!!
Just as Ye Tian was speaking, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted. In an instant, all the birds in the Forest were startled into flight, and the ground trembled slightly as if it might burst open.
The two exchanged glances and saw shock reflected in each other's eyes.
Although they had heard of the Divine Dragon's roar before, experiencing it at such close range was a first for them. They were so stunned that they couldn't speak.
After a moment, as the roar of the Divine Dragon gradually faded away, both stabilized their minds and leaped onto tree branches to gaze eastward into the distance.
More than thirty miles away, the area previously shrouded in black mist had somehow been covered by a golden light. The golden light was intense yet not blinding; it exuded a solemn and dignified aura with an overwhelming presence.
"The Divine Dragon has emerged!" Ye Tian exclaimed involuntarily."
"Was it Wang Tianba and the others who drew it out?" Windwalker Young Master was momentarily stunned by the golden light, and then he asked in surprise.
"It should be. Let's hurry to the Dragon's Tribulation Site with all our might!" Before Ye Tian finished speaking, his figure shot up into the sky.
"Why?" Windwalker Young Master followed him. Previously, when he wanted to hurry, Ye Tian explained that the earlier they arrived, the greater the danger they would face. But now, he was accelerating right at the moment when the Divine Dragon was furious and emerging, leaving Windwalker Young Master somewhat confused.
"Did you feel dizzy under the roar of the Divine Dragon?" Ye Tian asked as he looked back.
"Of course, how could we withstand the might of the Divine Dragon?" Windwalker Young Master had not yet grasped the situation.
"If it feels like this from thirty miles away, what about being right next to it?" Ye Tian asked again, his tone filled with hidden delight.
"Are you saying..." Windwalker Young Master suddenly realized: "You're saying that if nothing unexpected happens, Wang Tianba and the others should have been knocked unconscious by now, becoming easy prey!"
Ye Tian nodded and quickened his pace.
