Chapter 408: Chapter 414, Game of Heaven and Earth! Void Power! (Sixth Update)
“Is there really nothing in this world that you cannot comprehend?”
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er exchanged glances.
With an expression of incredulity, Han Yan’er turned to Hua Youyue, “How could you like such an arrogant guy?”
A hint of amusement crossed Hua Youyue’s face as she responded, “What he has is not just arrogance. He is indeed…quite powerful!”
Halting mid-sentence, Han Yan’er turned to look back, “We should get going as well, I have this feeling that there is more to this place than meets the eye.”
Hua Youyue nodded in agreement, her eyebrows knitted together, “Of course, it won’t be as simple as it appears. More than that, I have a feeling of unease.”
“What?” Han Yan’er was taken aback, “You have this feeling too?”
The two ladies’ expressions shifted dramatically. Suddenly, a scream echoed out from within. Their faces turned pale, and they rushed inside impulsively.
“Yang Zhen!”
Before Youyou’s voice could even fade, she saw an excited Yang Zhen standing in front of a horrifying dark light, howling and yelling, “Damn it, is this the legendary Void Power?”
At the side, a despicable cat was gnawing on something resembling a large pear, drooling profusely and wearing a delighted expression as it said to Yang Zhen, “See, didn’t I tell you? This cluster of void energy is the most precious thing here. If you can comprehend its essence, that would be amazing.”
Yang Zhen slapped the despicable cat, almost knocking the pear out of his hand, which startled the cat and caused it to blurt out, “What the heck are you doing?”
“Just checking if this isn’t a dream!” Yang Zhen shot the cat a glance and said irritably, “Damn it, do you think it’s easy to comprehend the Void Power? If things go south, not only would my reputation as Sao Saint be ruined, but my life might also be at stake! Do you think I’m an idiot?”
Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er were taken aback, “You can’t comprehend it either?” they asked in surprise.
Yang Zhen paused, “What’s so surprising about that? Despite my exceptional talents, I can only comprehend what my body can handle or elevate something of a lower level to its highest tier. This Void Power…damn it, it’s such a pity!”
The despicable cat wore a baffled expression, “I thought you were so invincible, how is it that you can’t even comprehend a bit of Void Power?” it accused.
“You don’t understand squat!” retorted Yang Zhen, his heart aching from regret.
Sao Chicken, who had been next to them, let out a satisfied nod after giving Yang Zhen a side glance, as it kept focusing its attention on a large pear.
The cat sighed heavily, swallowing the last bit of pear, and muttered to itself, “But it’s true. You need to have the cultivation of a Saint to comprehend the Void Power. Anyone with lower cultivation who forces themselves to comprehend it will likely turn to ashes before succeeding.”
“Hold on!” Suddenly, Yang Zhen’s eyes lit up as he chuckled sinisterly, “It’s not completely impossible for me to comprehend it!”
Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er were startled while the cat, who discoloration had occurred on his face, dropped its pear in disbelief and looked towards Yang Zhen. “You’re kidding right? Dude, I was just joking. Who could comprehend that stuff?”
Without waiting for Yang Zhen to respond, the cat continued, “Don’t just think because you’re a Practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Period, even the Sky Crying Great Saint wouldn’t dare to provoke the Void Power casually. This is the Void Power we’re talking about here! Anyone able to harness this would shake both past and present. As far as I know, I can count the number who can handle it on one hand!”
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, “I assure you, I’m not joking. The flair of Sao Saint isn’t something a commoner like you can understand.”
“Damn!” The cat jumped three feet high, staring at Yang Zhen and stuttering, “Yang Zhen, dude, I really was joking. Don’t let overconfidence cloud your judgment.”
Chicken Sao threw a pear it had been pecking at onto the ground and came to stand in front of Yang Zhen, flapping its wings and shaking its head as a symbol of danger.
Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er came from either side. Especially Hua Youyue, who had held Yang Zhen’s hand and said, “Don’t force yourself. The Void Power, however scarce, might only be an opportunity of a lifetime, but it’s not something anyone could control. If you’re not careful, you might be beyond redemption.”
Yang Zhen grabbed Hua Youyue’s hand and burst into laughter. He pinched Hua Youyue’s nose and said, “Don’t worry, missy. When have you ever seen the Sao Saint do something he isn’t sure of?”
Everyone froze, staring at Yang Zhen with a look of startled confusion.
At this point, even the Scoundrel Cat started scratching its head: “Can you really comprehend it?”
Yang Zhen shook his head: “I have some confidence at least!”
“How…how much?” the Scoundrel Cat asked hesitantly.
How much confidence he actually had, Yang Zhen did not know. The reason he felt he could comprehend the Void Power was because he suddenly realized that this place was, incredibly, part of a grand scheme of heaven and earth set up by mankind!
Having seen this, how could Yang Zhen not understand?
This was likely linked to the feud between Sky Crying Great Saint and the Sha Clan. After the Saintess of the Sha Clan had sealed their ancestral land, she left behind such a terrifying aura, which attracted the covetous eyes of the Sky Crying Great Saint. He used his tremendous Divine Power to move the entire Ice Palace Cluster here.
Although Yang Zhen did not know how much Divine Power a Great Saint could possess, even for a character like the Sky Crying Great Saint, moving such a horrifyingly large Ice Palace Cluster would not have been an easy task.
“I don’t know how much confidence I have. But, this place should be the grand scheme of heaven and earth that the Sky Crying Great Saint set up for himself.
I don’t know what went wrong, but now the scheme has been triggered. The Sky Crying Great Saint did not appear, only leaving behind a clone.”
Yang Zhen rubbed his hands together and grinned, “So, this grand scheme of heaven and earth, which had been planned for thousands of years, fortuitously fell into Sao Saint’s hands. Do you guys really think I would easily give up such an opportunity?”
The Scoundrel Cat froze, looked blankly around at his surroundings, then suddenly let out a shrill cry, his eyes gleaming, “We can’t let this pass!”
With that, the Scoundrel Cat jumped onto Yang Zhen’s shoulder, excitedly saying, “Damn, so this is really the grand scheme of heaven and earth that the Sky Crying Great Saint set up for himself? That means, this is the place he prepared for cultivating the Void Power, but he never showed up and we’re the ones to benefit?”
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, patting the Scoundrel Cat heartily on the shoulder, “Excellent! You finally had a moment of brightness, you scoundrel!”
“Of course, yours truly…” The Scoundrel Cat was quite pleased with himself, then suddenly flared up, grabbing Yang Zhen’s ear, “Damn, did you just call yours truly stupid?”
“Damn it, let the Sao Saint go!”
“And what if I don’t?” The Scoundrel Cat sneered, suddenly cried out, “Holy crap, you’re shameless! Let go of my tail if you dare.”
“You let go first!”
“Yours truly will count to three, and we’ll let go together!”
“Alright!”
“One, two, three, let… Damn it, you broke your promise!”
“So, bite me!”
Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er watched Yang Zhen and the Scoundrel Cat with speechless expressions, along with the cackling chicken on the ground that was laughing so hard it couldn’t stand up.
Yang Zhen had grabbed the Scoundrel Cat’s tail, and was twirling him around in circles. It wasn’t long before the Scoundrel Cat was foaming at the mouth!
Just then, an earth-shaking tremor came, making the entire ice cave shudder. It felt as if the world was turning upside down.
At the same time, a terrifying and raging aura burst from the ceiling of the ice cave above everyone’s heads, filling the entire cave in an instant.
“What the…? What’s going on?” The Scoundrel Cat, still dazed, swayed and wailed as he looked up..
