Chapter 273 – Vajra Divine Art

Yang Tian had summoned the Planes Merchant before he entered seclusion, he used the remaining Devil Fruit to exchange for a Rank 7 Cultivation Technique. Although an External Arts Martialist focuses on improving their physiques, they still require relevant cultivation techniques to improve their inner energy; inner energy can be used as support for when they temper and forge their bodies.

Yang Tian exchanged the Vajra Divine Art from the Planes Merchant. This was a cultivation technique meant for External Art Martialists and when trained to the highest realm, the body would become as tough as diamond and said to be invincible within the same rank.

After cultivating Vajra Divine Art, the toughness of Yang Tian’s body was at least Rank 4, the surface of his skin was also emitting a faint golden glow.

The golden glow was giving off a heavy and tough feeling, providing Yang Tian the boosting of his endurance during battle.

Yang Tian soon reached North City with Lina; the moment he detected the Dark Energy coming from North City, Yang Tian’s face sunk immediately.

Dark Creatures have appeared?

Yang Tian also noticed the Dark Slimes that were cowering on the floor, causing his face to turn uglier.

How could they be suppressed? This was what Yang Tian was wondering.

Dark Creatures that could suppress Dark Slimes were few and rare. Was the Dark Creature that they encounter this time very powerful?

Yang Tian had no time to deal with the hundred Dark Slimes at the moment, so he left them as they were, they might recover if he could kill the Dark Creature that is suppressing them.

Unless Yang Tian’s Dark Energy could overpower the Dark Energy of the Dark Creature that is affecting the Dark Slimes, the Dark Slimes will continue to be in their current state and be unable to fight.

Wang Yu’s group and North City Lord quickly went to receive Yang Tian when they saw him arriving. Yang Tian waved his hand to dismiss their greeting and looked at the Dark Creatures outside North City.

Night Giant Komodo, Shadow Frost Snake, and Black Shell Ants. Yang Tian was not familiar with these creatures but knew that they possess fighting strengths that others of the same rank could not contend with.

However, Dark Creatures were generally loners and prefer to travel alone, it was rare for some many different species to gather at one spot.

“Domain Lord, these creatures stopped attacking after launching one wave of attacks.”

North City Lord explained what has happened to Yang Tian.

“Just one?”

Yang Tian felt the behavior was strange, but being a Rank 4 Martialist now, he did not have any shred of fear towards this group of Rank 3 Dark Creatures.

“It is a good opportunity to test the body of an External Arts Martialist.”

Yang Tian gathered power on his legs and charged towards the Dark Giant Komodo. Throwing his right fist at its head.

The Dark Giant Komodo sensed the incoming threat and immediately created a shield made of Dark Energy around his head.

Boom

The Dark Shield was shattered by Yang Tian and dissipated into the air, the Dark Giant Komodo used the opportunity to quickly retreat. However, there was still a faint fist indent on its head as well as some traces of blood oozing out of the imprint.

The other Dark Creatures also reacted by quickly surrounding the Dark Giant Komodo, as though they were protecting something precious.

Dark Creatures are protecting something together?

Yang Tian was instantly interested.

Flames reaching 1450℃ surged from Yang Tian’s fist, Yang Tian was confident that he could kill all the Dark Creatures by relying on the Flaming Heart Earthfire.

“Take this!”

“Stop, don’t harm them!”

A clear voice reached Yang Tian’s mind and caused him to pause.

Next, Yang Tian noticed a thick concentration of Dark Energy coming at him.

This was something Yang Tian was very familiar with, it was Dark Prison! However, it did not seem like any of the Rank 3 Dark Creatures could use Dark Prison.

Yang Tian used Mental Examine and discover a petite figure on the back of Dark Giant Komodo.

It was a young girl in black, she was around the age of seven or right. However, her face was displaying a sharp coldness because she was angry at Yang Tian for injuring the Dark Giant Komodo.

The Dark Cage has been formed and wrapped Yang Tian inside. Yang Tian was very familiar with Dark Prison and naturally knew the method to break it.

Light Energy well up within Yang Tian and started assaulting the Dark Prison causing it to release sizzling sounds as though it was being melted.

Radiant Lightwave

This was the only Light Attribute skill that Yang Tian possess, it was a Rank 2 skill. However, against Undead and Dark Creatures, the effect can be equivalent to Rank 3.

As the little girl who used Dark Prison was also only Rank 3, Yang Tian believes that Radiant Lightwave would be enough to deal with Dark Prison.

Glaring light started to shoot out from within Dark Prison, Dark Prison reacted as though it was like ice and was quickly melting.

Using Dark Prison consumes a large amount of Dark Energy and the little girl looks to be in a very weak state as well.

Yang Tian broke through the Dark Prison and his action caused the Dark Creatures to growl at him, as though warning him not to approach them.

However, Yang Tian ignored them because he noticed a sense of familiarity from the little girl, it was the same feeling of familiarity that he had when he met Lina.

Although the difference was that it was towards the Dark Attribute while Lina’s was Light Attribute. However, this was also why it caught Yang Tian’s attention because Lina helped him improve his Light Attribute to a half-complete state, he has reason to believe that this little girl could do the same as well.

Yang Tian was always quick to act when he made his decision and quickly approached the little girl. Before the Dark Creatures could react, Yang Tian had already taken the little girl away.

Roar!!

Dark Giant Komodo and Night Frost Snake roared out, they ignored the difference of strength against Yang Tian and charged at him.

“Since you want to die, I will make your wish come true.”

Towards creatures that wanted to kill him, Yang Tian would never hold back. Flaming Heart Earthfire appeared on Yang Tian’s right hand again.

“Don’t harm them!”

The little girl weakly said and released a Dark Light, causing the two creatures to stop charging at Yang Tian and obediently stood on the spot.

Seeing that the creatures have stopped, Yang Tian looked at the little girl in his arms.

“Are you a Dark Elf?”

“Yes.”

The little girl did not hesitate to admit her identity.

Female Dark Elves were known to possess a tainted aura. However, instead of detecting traces of taint from this underage Dark Elf, Yang Tian sensed saintliness instead.

Saintliness from a Dark Elf.
