Chapter 371: 348
Hua Youyue burst forth a torrential vitality that faded in an instant. Her entire being radiated a unique elegance while her spirited eyes shone brightly. She eagerly looked at Yang Zhen and asked, “You gave me the Immortal Tree. What will you do now?”
No one anticipated such a scene unfolding. Even the Saint Spirit Souls were taken aback.
On one hand, they were surprised that Yang Zhen possessed the Immortal Tree, a Heaven and Earth Treasure. This extremely rare being came into existence only once in a lifetime.
In other words, if this Immortal Tree didn’t perish, no second one could be found in this world.
Such a precious and unique Heaven and Earth Treasure was given to Hua Youyue without a hint of hesitation by Yang Zhen. This shocked everyone beyond measure.
In a world of practitioners marked by cunning and survival of the fittest, everyone was selfish to some extent. Even among fellow practitioners, only a handful would stand by each other through life and death.
Now everyone stared wide-eyed as Yang Zhen handed over the Immortal Tree to Hua Youyue, a wave of shock and disbelief washing over them all.
The Immortal Tree wouldn’t withstand strenuous handling. Now that Yang Zhen had forcibly separated it, there was no way to get it back.
If the Immortal Tree were to leave Hua Youyue’s body again, it would undoubtedly die!
Everyone skeptically looked at Yang Zhen, but he seemed unbothered, as if he had just discarded a piece of trash. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, “This broken thing is of little use to me. It can’t even replenish my Soul Spirit. What good is it? It’s better to give it to you!”
At these words, everyone felt a strong urge to curse loudly.
The Immortal Tree replenishing the Spirit Soul?
Damn, Yang Zhen, the bastard, came up with that. All beings in the world had their own purposes. The efficacy of the Immortal Tree incited greed in every practitioner. They dreamt of it but could not hope to possess it. And Yang Zhen saw it as trash.
Of course, the Immortal Tree couldn’t replenish the Spirit Soul, just as a grandmaster artifacts craftsman couldn’t make the most primal medicinal pill.
Yang Zhen didn’t want to waste time on the Immortal Tree. He turned to the Cheeky Cat and said, “That woman said it’s challenging to replenish the Soul Spirit, not impossible. There must be a way, right?”
This was why Yang Zhen wasn’t too worried.
There was a chance, even if it was just one in ten thousand. As long as he didn’t definitely die, it was acceptable.
Besides, ascending from Divine Travel Stage to Great Saint Realm in three years was unprecedented, but that didn’t mean he, Yang Zhen, couldn’t accomplish it.
Listining to Yang Zhen’s words, the Cheeky Cat’s face flashed a strange expression. It nodded and said, “Yin and Yang give birth and complement each other; when one is injured, another supplements. Naturally, there is a way to replenish the Soul Spirit. But for you currently, it’s the same as no method.” Yang Zhen grinned!
As expected, there was a way!
“This Sao Saint was born to break these so-called rules. As long as there is a way, it’s good!”
Yang Zhen spoke as he walked towards the Cheeky Cat. While walking, he asked, “Come now, tell this Sao Saint, what is needed for me to replenish? Damn, thinking about it, I have three years to live. It seems like I am a bit worried.”
Everyone was speechless at Yang Zhen’s words.
If others were told they only had three years to live, they might’ve already been scared into losing their appetite. But this asshole Yang Zhen seemed to be discussing someone else’s matter.
The Cheeky Cat looked at Yang Zhen with a speechless expression. Just as it was about to speak, the Saint Spirit Soul suddenly cried out, startling everyone.
Yang Zhen turned around. He looked at this blabbering woman with an odd expression when suddenly, his face also changed.
Rumble, rumble-
All of a sudden, as if a giant was tipping the world over, the entire ground gave a violent shake—the dark clouds and thunderous confrontations in the sky turned the world upside down.
Innumerable crevices like spider webs blanketed the entire Forbidden Land of Life.
The gaping chasms were bottomless, as waves of terrifying, world-destroying energy erupted, propelling everyone into the sky. Some unfortunate practitioners were directly obliterated by this violent energy.
Yang Zhen’s complexion changed. He, too, was sent flying into the sky before he could react. He saw the Cheeky Cat fluttering past in front of him, grabbed it, and hurried to search for Hua Youyue.
A terrifying wave of energy surged to the sky, and the deafening sound that seemed like a roar from the heaven and earth echoed in the air. All that Yang Zhen could hear in his ears was an irritating sharp noise; everything else was drowned out.
The surroundings were chaotic, he could hardly see his hand in front of him. Under the onslaught of the violent energy wave, the sky turned gloomy, enormous waves of energy surged, and amidst the cracks in the earth, earth waves rose to the sky and fluttered all around.
After an unknown period of time, Yang Zhen’s ears barely began to pick up some sound. He moved towards the direction Hua Youyue was in his memory, swirling the Great Missing Sword in hand and shattering massive rocks flying his way.
Hum—!
The world was deathly silent, everyone was shaking as if they were facing divine punishment, their souls trembled with fear.
In front of the power of heaven and earth, humans seemed so insignificant, they couldn’t even cry out. The terrifying energy wave swept thousands of people off their feet into the air, each tumbling and flung in all different directions.
Yang Zhen finally caught a glimpse of Hua Youyue and Mo Xueling, but in the midst of his leap, he was struck directly in the chest by a terrifying surge of energy and immediately sent flying backwards.
“Ink Pool Peak…”
Mo Xueling dragged Hua Youyue along as they were swept away by an energy blast in the opposite direction.
Upon hearing the name ‘Ink Pool Peak,’ Yang Zhen immediately understood Mo Xueling was signaling him to meet her there.
Thousands of people were crying out, flung around like flies blown away by a gust of wind, tumbling and rolling, filling the sky.
Within the tumultuous crowd, the only one who didn’t make a sound was an eccentric Practitioner, her eyes still sparkling with the light of stars.
Mysterious and complex patterns were illuminating around her, and she too was sent flying to an unknown destination.
Outside the Forbidden Land of Life, all Practitioners at the Tribulation Crossing Period simultaneously changed their colors, looking at the destruction breaking out from within the Forbidden Land in shock.
“What… what exactly happened?” A Tribulation Crossing Period Practitioner couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, looking around in bewilderment.
“The Forbidden Land of Life seems to be destroyed. How is that possible? We only just began to unlock the forbidden land, yet now it seems it is going to disappear?”
“Not good, the Forbidden Land of Life is indeed going to be destroyed. What is this aura?”
All of them looked horrified at the terrifying energy wave surging into the sky. Among the ongoing cries of shock, no one knew what had happened.
Only the endless True Essence energy was raging towards all directions, blocking out the sun and sky in the blink of an eye, and evidence of it expanding towards the area outside the Forbidden Land of Life could be seen.
“Heaven and Earth True Essence, this is such a concentrated Heaven and Earth True Essence!”
“Could there be an Origin Vein in the Forbidden Land of Life?”
“How massive should the Origin Vein be to cause a catastrophe of such scale?”
As the True Essence flooded like a tide, and the Heaven and Earth were bellowing, including the Practitioners at the Divine Travel Stage within the Forbidden Land of Life, along with the Practitioners outside, none of them knew what had happened.
Only a few extremely perceptive individuals could guess that the transformation of the Forbidden Land of Life seemed to have something to do with the shackles of Heaven and Earth that Yang Zhen had destroyed.
It was not until a ‘rain of people’ suddenly came pouring down in mid-air, that the faces of all Tribulation Crossing Period Practitioners turned peculiar.
“Yang Zhen, it’s Yang Zhen. He destroyed the chains of Heaven and Earth in the Forbidden Land of Life. He is a sinner through the ages!”
“Honorable predecessors, run quickly. The heavens and earth here are about to collapse.”
“What?” A Tribulation Crossing Period Practitioner turned grim and asked sternly, “What happened?”
“Yang Zhen has broken the shackles of Heaven and Earth, causing a collapse in the Heaven and Earth. If we don’t leave now, it will be too late. So many… So many people were sucked into the spatial turbulence.”
“Where is Yang Zhen?”
“I… I don’t know, everyone has been scattered!”
Among the chaotic crowd, a young boy carrying a cat on one shoulder and a chicken on the other ran quickly. While running, he yelled, “Run, quickly! Yang Zhen has done something colossal, He stabbed the sky.. If we don’t run now, it’ll be too late!”
