Could it be that Mickey, for his own selfish desires, had actually deceived all of them?
"You must be Tyrant Mickey, ranked twenty-eighth on Dante’s Bounty List, am I right?"
As everyone turned their eyes toward Mickey, Evil God Kate was the first to speak, "Give a reason—a reason not to kill you!"
Mickey, already drenched in cold sweat from the oppressive gazes, trembled as he heard Kate’s words and stuttered, "Lord Kate, to be honest, I only suspected that there might be a Divine-level Treasure here..."
"Suspected?"
Kate’s hand flipped suddenly, unleashing a horrifying surge of energy.
Mickey, seeing this, quickly shouted, "But... but I did see Mr. Yang here! Think about it—Mr. Yang is the only Divine-level Expert alive in the world today. If he traveled such a great distance to co here, could this place really have nothing of value?"
"Mr. Yang?"
Swish!
Upon hearing Mickey’s words, those ranked similarly to him imdiately changed their expressions!
After all, this was a Divine-level Expert!
Though shocked, Kate and the others rely furrowed their brows and remained calm, avoiding the panic that gripped the rest.
Coming from the West, they were far removed from Japan and had missed witnessing Yang Tian’s battle with Orochi, not to ntion Yang Tian’s destruction of Zero Team’s three battalions and his casual downing of fighter jets—feats that defied belief.
At their level of strength, confidence in their own powers was absolute.
With the five of them gathered here now, surprise was natural, but panic was unwarranted!
"Is what you said true?" Kate savored the information and once again fixed his gaze on Mickey.
"Absolutely true!"
Mickey hurriedly pointed at Silver Wolf. "That man is an assassin from China—his na is Silver Wolf. He accompanied Mr. Yang here! If you don’t believe , you can ask him yourselves..."
Swish!
Before Mickey could finish speaking, Evil God Kate extended his hand, and Silver Wolf flew helplessly forward, landing directly in front of him. Kate grabbed him by the neck.
"I ask you: where is Mr. Yang? Has he taken the treasure? Speak—or die!" Kate said coldly.
"I... I..."
Silver Wolf, completely powerless in Kate’s grip, could only struggle with all his might while his eyes darted toward the Magma Fire Pool.
When Kate noticed this, he suddenly burst into loud laughter, throwing Silver Wolf to the side. He then turned to the Magma Fire Pool and shouted, "Mr. Yang, since you’re there, why not show yourself? Must we invite you to co out?"
With that, he swung a powerful punch toward the Magma Fire Pool, assuming Yang Tian was using so concealnt technique to hide there.
But as his fist’s energy swept across the pool, nothing happened, leaving Kate frowning slightly.
"Haha, hiding away because you’ve secured the treasure? Very well. I’ve heard the Chinese War God Shen Bangguo has sealed himself away in retreat. With you here, it seems China has no one left to protect it. It’s the perfect ti for us to visit and spill so blood. If you choose not to co out, we’ll head to China first and indulge in a massacre!"
With that, Kate sneered and turned to leave.
Leo and the other four followed suit, their bloodlust visible as they turned to join Kate.
But at that mont, an overwhelming aura suddenly surged through the cavern, sweeping over everyone like an apocalyptic force.
"Who dares disturb my ditation!"
"Who dares disturb my ditation!"
The mont Kate and his n turned back, that thunderous voice exploded in everyone’s ears, accompanied by the sky-covering aura, leaving them trembling.
Even Kate, who had just spoken nonchalantly about slaughtering China’s people, now furrowed his brows, his eyes fixed intensely on the Magma Fire Pool.
They understood clearly—this kind of aura and voice could only an Yang Tian was about to reveal himself!
Gurgle gurgle!
Under everyone’s gaze, bubbles began to rise incessantly from the Magma Fire Pool, as if the golden lava was boiling.
The commotion drew everyone’s attention instantly.
"He... he couldn’t possibly erge from the magma itself, could he?"
Soone thought aloud.
The others shook their heads imdiately. How hot was magma? At the minimum, four to five hundred degrees, and the magma in this pool appeared entirely golden—it had to be over a thousand degrees!
At such a temperature, anything subrged in it would be completely vaporized without a trace!
Even a Divine-level Expert couldn’t possibly survive inside, right?
But soon, their jaws dropped.
Because as the magma churned, a young man dressed in black, with black hair, slowly erged—seated cross-legged, he floated upwards from the magma pool and finally rested atop it, still in his ditative posture.
Who else could it be but Yang Tian?
Seeing this, the cultivators who had originally planned to fish in troubled waters were now utterly dumbstruck.
As for Kate and his four companions, their expressions turned grave.
Forget judging Yang Tian’s true strength for now—the re fact that he erged from magma unscathed and remained above a thousand-degree pool while unhard was proof of his unparalleled power.
This alone confird the legends of Yang Tian’s Divine-level abilities!
Still, grave expressions aside, Kate and his companions had yet to show fear.
After exchanging glances, the five quickly reached a tacit understanding.
Lion King Leo stepped forward first. With a wave of his hand, he dissipated so of the oppressive aura surrounding Yang Tian and narrowed his eyes, saying, "Mr. Yang’s reputation truly precedes him—I, Leo, have witnessed it firsthand."
"With strength like yours, there’s no doubt you can claim the treasure here for yourself. But let’s not forget—there are many of us. Surely you wouldn’t have us co all this way for nothing? Why not share the treasure so everyone leaves satisfied?"
As soon as Leo spoke, nods of agreent rippled through the crowd.
Yang Tian was unquestionably the sole recognized Divine-level Expert in the world, deserving of his supremacy and position as the number one on Dante’s Bounty List.
But, as the saying goes, "Even ants can kill an elephant."
Among those present were over thirty Legendary Realm cultivators, and leading them were the five titans—Kate, Leo, and the others—barely weaker than Yang Tian.
If Yang Tian insisted on monopolizing the treasure, it wouldn’t be impossible for them to unite and kill him!
Yet as the words fell, Yang Tian remained motionless, his eyes closed in ditation atop the Magma Fire Pool, his voice calm yet resolute: "Step back and live; move forward and die."
Step back and live; move forward and die?
Was he saying that retreating from the cavern ant survival and advancing a single step ant death?
This was utter arrogance!
Lion King Leo’s expression darkened imdiately.
Who was he?
Lion King Leo!
Once ranked second on Dante’s Bounty List, how could anyone dare speak to him in such a manner?
Leo had spoken to Yang Tian with unprecedented courtesy, yet Yang Tian had shown absolutely no regard, dismissing him with arrogance.
This wasn’t just an attempt to claim the treasure but a blatant insult to Lion King Leo’s honor!
And if Leo didn’t respond, could he even call himself a lion among kings?
Thus, when Lion King Leo spoke again, his voice carried an unmistakable murderous intent: "So, you’re determined to oppose all of us, including —Lion King Leo?"
"What are you but a re insect? How dare you challenge soone like ?"
Yang Tian replied with a faint smile.
"Fine, fine, fine!"
Hearing Yang Tian’s words, Lion King Leo repeated the word "fine" three tis in fury.
"Such arrogance befits the one ranked first on Dante’s Bounty List. But let’s see if your power truly lives up to the na—allow , Lion King, to asure it!"
With that, Lion King Leo’s muscles instantly tensed, bulging like taut steel cables rippling beneath his skin.
