The gifted young man from Luo Floating Marsh plunged straight down, rushing toward the tender green willow bud on the altar, while throwing out harsh words.

"Jiao Peng, don't spout nonsense. Although you have some skills, don't be too arrogant, be careful of dying in this desolate land."

From the direction of the Purple Mountain Clan, a handsome young man spoke. He was the youngest son of the Marquis Purple Mountain, named Zi

Shan Kun.

The Purple Mountain Clan and Luo Floating Marsh constantly had conflicts, so they were always at odds with each other.

Following the two young men, a third joined the scene. He was from the territory of kings and marquis, the heir of Lei tribe, Lei Marquis, named Lei Ming Yuan. He was not to be underestimated. He lashed out directly, demanding Jiao Peng and Zi Shan Kun to shut up.

Upon hearing this, Jiao Peng and Zi Shan Kun both frowned-they were both gifted, confident, and never bowed to anyone.

The three gifted young men confronted each other, their rivalry palpable.

"Go ahead, you little geniuses compete with each other. Until the fight is over, whoever wins the willow bud is the winner!" Several powerful members of the great clans came forward encouraging them, not opposed to the young men dueling.

The path of a cultivator involves stepping over the bones of other talents to reach the ultimate sacred altar. If one dares not to raise a hand, what future can they talk about?

Moreover, with them watching, even if these young men were extraordinarily talented and possessed far superior strength than their peers, they couldn't cause any trouble.

The leaders of several clans all wanted to see which of their children had exceptional talent and could become the future dominator of this territory.

"Boom!"

The silent order sounded.

The young men rushed towards each other, entangling in combat.

All of them were terrifying, mastering the most important and powerful treasured techniques of their clans, and even from a young age, their bodies were tempered with the fresh blood of the ancient lost breeds. The strength of their young arms had already reached a horrifying four to five thousand pounds, akin to the cubs of ferocious beasts.

The intense fighting alarmed the Wilderness and even disturbed the peculiar village in front of them carrying out the ritual for the willow bud.

A group of ragtag kids came out from the village. They had been playing nearby and rushed over when they heard the noise. Their faces filled with curiosity, they watched the people from several major clans, especially when they saw the unusual unicorn-scaled horses, they began to criticize and comment.

"Call for your clan leader!" Powerful members of several clans shouted at the brats. Their vital energy power buzzed like a raging fire, scaring those little scraping kids motionless.

But they quickly realized something was wrong. These ragtag kids actually referred to the willow bud as the Willow God!

This was a terrifying title. Ordinary sacrificial spirits would not dare to bear it. They suspected that the village in front of them was actually a hidden super force.

Especially after they learned that this village possesses both the Treasured Technique of the ancient lost breed Suan Ni and the Ancient Demon Bird-two of the top existences!

Both beasts were powerful and potent, their ancient lost breed blood, although scant, was purer. Even among the ancient lost breeds, they were considered elite.

Ordinary villages can only dream of having such treasures. Even within their forces, each was considered precious and could serve as a core inheritance.

However, soon these powerful individuals discovered clues.

Despite housing the Black Tripod, which were quite old and primitive, this village did not possess any other profound heritage. It had nothing to do with a super-hidden force.

"A small village dares to play tricks, it's courting death!" Jiao Peng stepped forward again, as if he was holding back some anger and wanted to vent it all out.

The youth possessed a natural disposition, yet he was already stained with blood.

"The word 'god' can't be used as you please. Today, we will rectify the use of God's name!" Several clans' power figures stood up to speak, albeit their underlying intentions were to seize the Treasured Techniques of Suan Ni and the Ancient Demon Bird that belonged to this village.

The Treasured Techniques of Suan Ni and the Ancient Demon Bird were too precious and sought after, which even they could not resist.

However, some thought otherwise and did not covet these two Treasured Techniques.

They were from the Cloud Top Palace, each clad in a white robe, exuding an otherworldly elegance, as if they were imbued with the spirit of Immortality.

Their origin was mysterious. Whilst they were amazed that a small village could possess a treasured technique like the Species of the Ancient Times, it was against their style to shamelessly compete for it.

What intrigued them more was a four or five-year-old boy in that village. Just a moment ago, the boy had single-handedly defeated the joint efforts of three geniuses from the Luo Floating Marsh, Thunder Clan, and Purple Mountain Clan by performing the Treasured Techniques of Suani Beast and the Ancient Demon Bird. His talent was terrifying.

"Little Dot, if you ever get a chance, do join our Cloud Top Palace!" The leading man from Cloud Top Palace invited, but he would not protect this village.

The Thunder Clan, Kong Tribe, Luo Floating Marsh, and other tribes wielded considerable power, with Kings and Marquis among them. He could not afford to offend so many, so his only course of action was to try and protect this young, innocent-looking boy at the crucial moment.

"Kill, massacre this village and obtain the treasured techniques of Suani Beast and the Ancient Demon Bird."

The first to act were from the Luo Floating Marsh. They commanded an enormous Jiao Snake, tore through the pretense, and voiced their true intention without any hesitation.

The people from the Thunder Clan, Kong Tribe, and others followed suit swiftly.

"Shii…"

Just then, an unexpected change occurred.

A splendid light shot up.

In the next moment, a green willow branch stretched out, as if carved from divine jade, emitting a brilliant glow. While it seemed unbelievably soft, it was harder than divine iron when it attacked. It pierced the sky, radiating endless divine power.

The glow around the willow branch was dazzling, so bright that it not only pinned the Jiao Snake in mid-air but also refined it and absorbed it into a single essence droplet.

This was a terrifying sight, all of which happened in the blink of an eye.

"How could this be?" exclaimed someone in terror.

The Sacrifical Spirit of this mountain village was terrifying. With just one strike, it pierced through the body of a ferocious beast. The presence of many strong beasts brought feelings of fear.

Before they could react, the willow branch moved again, like a Divine Order Chain. The emerald glow was shining, annihilating the other tribes' powerful contenders.

"Splash…Splash…Splash…"

The sky was soaked with showers of blood; blood flowers were in full bloom.

"No…"

Some people screamed in terror, trying to escape from the battlefield quickly. However, the willow branch was even faster. It moved like a cloud-piercing arrow, and although they viewed its attack as plain and unremarkable, it always took a large swath of blood along with it.

In the end.

The leading figures from each clan were also injured. The old servants from Luo Floating Marsh, Thunder Clan, and the Uncle of Marquis Purple Mountain had each lost a hand, grimacing in pain.

The battle was intense. Numerous beautiful runes were blasted and broken, and the formidable energy shook the Vast Mountain Range, causing ancient trees to explode and mountains to collapse. Rivers reversed their course, and the violent disturbance spread far and wide, with even the people of Liu Village feeling it.

"What happened? Is some treasure being born?" The elder Clan Leader of the Native Tribe speculated.

In his youth, he had experienced such vibrations. At first, he was wondering what was happening, but later inadvertently found out that some incredible treasure was no doubt about to be born, startling Heaven and Earth and causing a loud rumbling.

"Come off it, old Clan Leader. I remember last time you said it was an earthquake. How come this time it has turned into an incredible treasure? Tu Wa Zi, stripped to the waist, displaying his bronze-colored muscular upper body, walked in. He had been hardening his body beneath a waterfall for days and had just returned to hear the Native Tribe's Clan leader chattering..
