Translator: 549690339 |
Watching Young Master Fen madly pointing his middle finger at the sky, the spectators felt both surprise and amusement, which turned into a fair share of sympathy.
Clearly, Young Master Fen had been dealt a severe blow, even his Spirit Soul had been injured by Yang Zhen.
Since Yang Zhen’s arrival, he had surpassed Young Master Fen in every way except cultivation level. This not only affected Young Master Fen himself, but it had also stirred up a strong compulsion to strangulate Yang Zhen among others.
Even the UKHongluan Spiritual Girl, who was usually all business, appeared shy and offended, while Lin Tianli, a man renowned for his talents and looks, nearly choked on his own anger. Regardless of their physical strength or their inherent brilliance, everyone present looked on with envy.
Especially when facing Young Master Fen, Yang Zhen seemed not to have regarded him at all, hardly even bothering to glance his way. Yet he had made the Hongluan Spiritual Girl, whom Young Master Fen had a soft spot for, burst into laughter right under his nose.
It might have been unintentional on Yang Zhen’s part, but everyone around could hear the sound of slaps reverberating as if someone were continuously smacking Young Master Fen’s face.
It was indeed remarkable that Young Master Fen didn’t cough up blood on the spot, owing to his good state of mind and high cultivation level.
However, when he was again hit hard at the peak of the Heavenly Might Waterfall, Young Master Fen truly couldn’t stand it any longer.
He might not have surpassed Yang Zhen in other aspects, as there were always greater individuals in the world. But if Yang Zhen managed to suppress him when it came to cultivation, it would be utterly devastating. And now, Young Master Fen was collapsing, evident to everyone. His frantic state showed the sprouting of a demon in his heart that looked exactly like Yang Zhen.
As long as Yang Zhen lived, this demon would haunt Young Master Fen for the rest of his life.
Young Master Fen kept screaming madly, trying everything he could. The few onlookers who couldn’t bear to watch wanted to sigh but ended up chuckling instead.
Even by the time Young Master Fen was blasted into the Spirit Road by the Heavenly Might Waterfall, he couldn’t manage to turn the black waterfall into a mysterious color, let alone gold.
As soon as Young Master Fen entered the Spirit Road, a group of people fell from the sky and landed next to the peak of the Heavenly Might.
A youth in green clothes, handsome and uninhibited, exclaimed and looked at the Hongluan Spiritual Girl, asking, “Was that Young Master Fen’s voice just now? Why was he so hysterical?”
After seeing the youth in green, a gleam shot across the Hongluan Spiritual Girl’s eyes. She spoke with emphasis on each word, “Moluo Sect, Mo Tianya!” Mo Tianya laughed heartily, gazing at the Hongluan Spiritual Girl playfully, “Oh, has the murderous intent you hold for me not faded yet, Hongluan Spiritual Girl?”
The Hongluan Spiritual Girl chuckled lightly, “Why would it? I didn’t expect Young Master Mo to show up this time. Right, I haven’t informed you yet. Lin Tianli has already entered the Spirit Road, and the Flower Spirit Girl is here too!”
A chilling light flashed in Mo Tianya’s eyes. He was about to speak when a youth with a scar on his face next to him chuckled, “Hongluan Spiritual Girl, your words are as sharp as ever. However, you might be disappointed this time.”
With that, the scarred youth glanced at Mo Tianya and slowly declared, “This time, Young Master Mo has come for Lin Tianli.”
What?
After hearing the scarred youth’s words, everyone present was surprised.
Everyone knew of Mo Tianya’s grudges with Lin Tianli, but for years, Mo Tianya had always been suppressed by Lin Tianli, never once claiming victory. This time, braving the Spirit Road for Lin Tianli meant Mo Tianya must be quite confident.
A terrifying gleam sparked in Mo Tianya’s eyes as he said, “Since Lin Tianli has already entered, I’ll go ahead then. By the way, I am very much looking forward to meeting Hongluan Spiritual Girl in the Spirit Road. As much as I know, anything that happens in there stays a secret, right?”
With a hearty laughter, Mo Tianya plunged into the peak of the Heavenly Might amidst the gaze of the scarred youth and others standing behind him.
The Hongluan Spiritual Girl’s face tightened as she furrowed her brows, speaking to Xiu’er, “Mo Tianya is vile and mean. He can stoop to any low to do harm. If you run into him alone in the Spirit Road…make sure to leave as fast as you can!”
Xiu’er pouted, “I really want to kill that bastard!”
Hongluan Spiritual Girl’s face darkened, and she said, “Do not be reckless, Mo Tianya… he has already broken through to the Divine Travel Realm and carries an extremely gloomy aura. If I am not mistaken, he has mastered the Moluo Heavenly Art!”
“What?” Xiu’er was shocked, doubt flickering in her eyes. She asked in surprise, “He has actually mastered the Moluo Heavenly Art. Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
Hongluan Spiritual Girl chuckled, cast a deep gaze at the highest Heavenly Destiny, and said, “Legend states that the Moluo Heavenly Art is divine punishment. It’s one of the most powerful Cultivation Methods in the Moluo Sect, not only extremely damaging, but also capable of directly harming one’s Spirit Soul. It’s an existence even more terrifying than Martial Skills of the same level. I can feel this trace of tremor in Mo Tianya’s Spirit Soul!” Xiu’er pouted, despondently saying, “I really wonder how these people cultivate. I don’t know who is stronger, Mo Tianya or Lin Tianli. It would be good if one of them were killed when they meet.”
Hongluan Spiritual Girl laughed, replying, “At this time, neither of them have actually encountered each other, so it’s hard to determine who’s more powerful!”
As the days passed, one prodigy after another entered the Spirit Road. Yet the number of people around the highest Heavenly Destiny didn’t decrease but more people gradually arrived one after another, making the surroundings slowly quiet down.
Yang Zhen had already killed nearly five hundred beasts. The ferocious beasts on this golden Spirit Road were practically all killed by him.
After such a long time of slaughter, Yang Zhen’s body was overflowing with golden light. An eerie glint appeared in his eyes, and waves of fluctuating power radiated from his body, making people shudder.
The craven cat looked at Yang Zhen with wide-eyed astonishment, suddenly shouting, “Hey kid, wake up!”
Yang Zhen was taken aback, the killing aura around him instantly disappeared, and the light in his eyes became lively. Almost at once, he returned to his casual and slovenly self.
“What do you mean, wake up? Damn it, I’m battling it out at the front, weren’t you just slacking off and sleeping at the back?”
“Damnit, I must be seeing things!”
The craven cat, seemingly oblivious to Yang Zhen’s words, eyed him incredulously. It circled Yang Zhen several times before muttering in confusion, “Could you really withdraw your heart at will in such circumstances, kid? You’re really a freak. But… do such beings even exist, especially among humans?”
Yang Zhen smacked the cat’s head in annoyance, fuming, “What the hell are you mumbling about?”
The craven cat flashed a smile, gloating, “I just realized something!”
“What is it?” Yang Zhen asked curiously.
The craven cat burst into laughter, pointing at Yang Zhen, “Your clothes are gone again.”
Yang Zhen was startled, only then noticing the chilly draft. He hurriedly fetched a piece of clothing to put on.
After fooling around for a while, the craven cat said suspiciously, “Kid, haven’t we wasted too much time?”
Yang Zhen nodded. Along the way, he had been moving slowly because he had killed a lot of beasts. During this process, Yang Zhen had even slowly comprehended most of the golden runes on the golden Spirit Road!
With the Heavenly Book of Mysterious Principles in hand, Yang Zhen had an extremely high comprehension of the heavenly and earthly inscriptions and Array pivots. Coupled with his outstanding talent, he was able to quickly grasp the concepts.
As he walked out of the golden Spirit Road, Yang Zhen felt rather reluctant to leave and he glanced back.
Just then, a sinister voice echoed, “Hey kid, stop looking. Nobody has ever set foot on that golden road; it has always been there.”
Yang Zhen: “???”
The craven cat:”???”
Both the human and the cat turned to the source of the sound, where a young man with a scarred face was staring at them with clear murderous intent.
