Chapter 285: The Heavens are Unhappy! Arrogant Posture! (Third update)
Translator: 549690339
Yang Zhen didn’t hesitate at all with his words. Almost as soon as the Ziwei Heavenly Lord had finished speaking he added his piece, his voice booming and his attitude arrogant.
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen in shock. Even if Yang Zhen dared to curse out the Ziwei Heavenly Lord, the crowd didn’t find it unacceptable, because the world still had many arrogant people who even found the Heavenly Lord’s scrutiny somewhat annoying. It could only be said that Yang Zhen was independent and fearless, not afraid of power, and even arrogant enough to not take the Heavenly Lord seriously.
But now, everyone felt a sense of shock and fear, all because of Yang Zhen’s words: Even the heavens can be pierced!
With a burst of disbelief in her face, Mo Xueling reacted violently. Her jewelblue-green eyes flashed with uncertainty, her surprised cherry lips slightly parted. Despite Yang Zhen’s forceful words, she still had a feeling of doubting her own hearing.
Yang Zhen not only dared to curse the Heavenly Lord, but also dared to curse the heavens!
Boom, boom, boom!
Beyond the terrifying disruption of the Serpent Road’s energy, a storm of violent thunderclouds had gathered in mid-air. An imposing righteousness from heaven and earth was descending, covering everyone in an instant.
Even the Ziwei Heavenly Lord let out a light gasp and slowly appeared outside the wooden house.
Seeing the figure of the Ziwei Heavenly Lord, everyone took a gasp of breath, subconsciously stepped backward twice, and gazed uncertainly at the almost dreamlike figure in front of them.
The Ziwei Heavenly Lord looked very young, not yet fifty, his serious face showed an inviolable dignity, and there was even a bit of an unquestionable Imperial aura. He looked up at the violent thunderclouds in the sky and then turned to Yang Zhen and said, “You are a real reckless kid, do you know that your arrogant words just now have already angered the Heavens?”
Yang Zhen retorted, “I’ve already angered the Heavens more than once, I don’t care about one more time. But you, what are you looking at? Does having a powerful spiritual power make you so special?”
Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, everyone was forcibly holding back the urge to cover his mouth.
Damn it, talking to a Heavenly Lord like this, Yang Zhen really had a death wish.
In the crowd, only Hua Youyue quietly looked at the Ziwei Heavenly Lord without saying a word, slowly left Mo Xueling and came up to Yang Zhen.
At this moment, her heart was clear!
The Ziwei Heavenly Lord looked at Hua Youyue in surprise and laughed, “I remember you, girl, you were the supreme genius of the Spirit Road back then. I didn’t expect you to have recovered so much.”
Yang Zhen was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Hua Youyue with a sense of odd premonition.
No matter how Hua Youyue outperformed on the Spirit Road, it shouldn’t have attracted the attention of the Ziwei Heavenly Lord. More importantly, five years ago, Ziwei Heavenly Lord seemed not fully conscious.
Seeming to notice Yang Zhen’s doubt, Hua Youyue took Yang Zhen’s hand and said in a slow voice to Ziwei Heavenly Lord, “I said that I would come back.”
The Ziwei Heavenly Lord laughed heartily and nodded, “I have been waiting for you, but… how have you considered it?”
“Consider?” Yang Zhen was taken aback and looked at Hua Youyue, “What’s there to consider? You don’t need to think about anything. I think this old man is up to no good, so what good things can there be?”
Hua Youyue smiled slightly and was about to speak when a cold snort came. Ziwei Heavenly Lord looked down on Yang Zhen and said, “Kid, don’t think that having a little talent allows you to be so overconfident. In front of me, you don’t even have the right to speak.”
Yang Zhen laughed heartily and said, “Whether or not I have the right to speak is not up to you. Do you want to give it a try?”
“Yang Zhen!” Hua Youyue’s face turned serious and she tried to speak but hesitated.
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, “Young girl, this has nothing to do with you anymore. It’s between me and this old man.”
With that, Yang Zhen stared at Ziwei Heavenly Lord, took a deep breath and said, “Respecting the old and being loyal to the young are your faults, and my character too. But… damn it, what were you trying to do just now? Just because others have lower cultivation, they should be at the mercy of you powerful ones? If it weren’t for something up my sleeve, wouldn’t you have seen everything inside and out?”
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, everyone present sucked in a breath, their expressions filled with disbelief.
Especially Aranda, a doubtful look flashed across his face, staring at Yang Zhen in horror.
Just now, when Ziwei Heavenly Lord’s divine consciousness swept through, everyone only felt like a breeze had brushed their faces, taking only an instant. Even though it was somewhat uncomfortable, such a powerful figure was only scrutinizing them, with no harm intended, so everyone naturally accepted it.
But seeing through a person was not simple, even for a practitioner as powerful as Ziwei Heavenly Lord. To see through a person, the individual would suffer unbearable pain.
This was the pain of stripping away divine consciousness, and if the Spirit Soul was slightly unstable, it would lead to irreversible damage. At the slightest, the mind would suffer and become stupid. At the worst, the Spirit Soul would burst, ending in death.
No one had thought that Yang Zhen, just a Practitioner at the Void Cultivation Stage, had actually withstood such a painful process just now.
For a moment, all the gazes toward Ziwei Heavenly Lord became somewhat strange. In their strangeness, there was also a touch of astonishment. Even though they were Practitioners at the Divine Travel stage, they were still powerless in the hands of such a powerful figure like Ziwei Heavenly Lord. But to everyone’s surprise, Yang Zhen was actually able to withstand the pain of stripping away divine consciousness.
Mo Xueling looked at Yang Zhen with a surprised expression, her gem-like eyes flickering with astonishment, lost in thought.
Ziwei Heavenly Lord laughed heartily, emanating powerful waves. He stared at Yang Zhen, and the terrifying spear of divine consciousness that had just disappeared reappeared, and he slowly said, “Kid, based on your disrespect today, I could have killed you several times already. The reason I haven’t done so…”
Yang Zhen snorted, a burst of violent divine power erupting from him. He chuckled and said, “The reason you haven’t done so, is it because you’re not sure you could kill me, Sao Saint, could it be?”
What?
All the people retreated in horror. Even Shanyang in the Snake Road, his face drastically changed, he turned around and ran, quickly returning to Mo Xueling’s side, staring at Yang Zhen and Ziwei Heavenly Lord’s standoff with a bewildered look.
Ziwei Heavenly Lord hesitated. He waved his hand while laughing heartily, and suddenly the sky changed color. Furious waves rushed towards Yang Zhen. The divine consciousness spear in mid-air suddenly grew in the wind, splitting into three.
“Ridiculous!”
As the wind and clouds changed, the furious waves surged. Everyone was horrified by such a terrifying divine consciousness phenomenon. They couldn’t believe what they saw.
A Ziwei Heavenly Lord this terrifying, yet Yang Zhen was undaunted, even able to stand against him!
Hua Youyue frowned, saying to Yang Zhen, “Be careful!”
Yang Zhen gave Hua Youyue a deep look and felt a sense of unease. Facing such a terrifying practitioner, Hua Youyue showed no fear. What was she hiding?
But to understand what happened five years ago and what secrets Hua Youyue was keeping, Yang Zhen had to withstand this divine consciousness attack.
Under the watching eyes of the doubtful crowd, Yang Zhen suddenly advanced instead of retreating, taking a step forward as a domineering aura suddenly erupted from him.
Boom!
In the midst of the terrifying waves, everyone was horrified to discover that Yang Zhen, who was at the Void Cultivation Stage, could actually emit such a furious aura!
The surging divine consciousness was like a vast ocean, rising to the sky in a blink of an eye, stunning everyone!
At the same time, Yang Zhen spread his hands in front of him, a magical inscription that emitted a terrifying golden light appeared in everyone’s sight.
“Genjin True Pattern!” Mo Xueling cried out in shock, her eyes flickering as she stared at Yang Zhen!
