Chapter 588: Chapter 595: Is This an Internal Fight? (Fifth Update)
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, everyone present drew in a sharp breath and looked at him incredulously.
The Heavenly Snow Saint Lord gazed sternly at Yang Zhen and asked, “Yang, this Heavenly Brilliance… Heavenly Brilliance Soup, does it possess the same effect as the Sky Flower Pill?”
Yang Zhen glanced at the jade-like Sky Flower Soup and replied, “Possibly, it may last for two hours!”
What?
Two hours?
Everyone present jumped at his words. Yang Zhen wasn’t talking about percentages of effectiveness, but two hours. It was well known that the legendary Sky Flower Pill’s effects lasted a full six hours!
Did this mean the Heavenly Brilliance Soup was identical to the Sky Flower Pill in its effects, just a bit shorter in duration?
The Heavenly Snow Saint Lord stared dumbfoundedly at Yang Zhen, taking a deep breath he said, “If the Heavenly Brilliance Soup does have such effects, my Heavenly Snow Holy Domain is willing to pay any price to obtain it!”
Upon hearing this, everyone present was in shock. They looked at the Heavenly Snow Saint Lord in horror.
Who would have thought that the Heavenly Snow Saint Lord would make such a statement? If Yang Zhen’s claims were true, he could virtually name his price and demand anything from the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain.
Had the Heavenly Snow Saint Lord gone mad to make such an outrageous offer, utter such ludicrous words?
In just a moment’s time, everyone understood why the Heavenly Snow Saint Lord would make such a proposal.
If the Heavenly Brilliance Soup truly has effects comparable to the Sky Flower Pill, then the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain could create six Divine Transformation Stage practitioners in an instant!
It was true that Divine Transformation Stage practitioners who had consumed the Sky Flower Pill was not as powerful as an equivalent natural-born practitioner and they wouldn’t be able to improve their cultivation level. But having six of them was more than enough to intimidate all the Divine Transformation Stage practitioners of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land.
In such conditions, the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain no longer had any reason to fear the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land.
Yang Zhen looked over at the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain gleefully and nodded, saying, “That sounds good. We can discuss after I’ve dealt with some personal issues, Saint Lord.”
As he spoke, at everyone’s confused gaze, Yang Zhen suddenly stepped forward, summoned the Great Missing Sword with a gesture, and it landed heavily on the ground, startling everyone.
“Li Cangxu, come out and take your punishment!”
Hiss——!
The crowd was dumbfounded watching Yang Zhen’s bold provocation. Who could have imagined that at such a dangerous time, Yang Zhen would pick a fight with Li Cangxu?
Despite being at the peak of the Mahayana Phase just like Li Cangxu, Yang Zhen was … provoking someone who has just successfully completed their Dao!
Was Yang Zhen a lunatic, just like Li Cangxu?
Everyone knew that once a practitioner achieved the Dao, their comprehension of the universe and power far surpassed their peers.
Under these circumstances, it would be effortless for Li Cangxu to kill Yang Zhen!
Everyone watched Yang Zhen in stunned surprise, even his cat gave a start, “Damn, kid, are you trying to commit suicide by challenging Li Cangxu now?”
Before Yang Zhen could reply, Li Cangxu chuckled softly and spoke to Yang Zhen, “I knew I hadn’t misjudged you.”
“I hope you won’t disappoint me!” Yang Zhen sneered and said to his cat, “In order to fight Fang Zhongjian, I have to beat Li Cangxu first. Fang Zhongjian had the audacity to seize people in front of me. If I don’t beat him up, how will I survive in the Northern Island in the future? If it weren’t for the fact that fighting the Heavenly Spring Saint Lord is a bit tricky, I wouldn’t even bother with Li Cangxu, it would be much easier to just go directly to the Heavenly Spring Saint Lord.”
The cat stared blankly at Yang Zhen for a long while before murmuring to itself, “Damn, that kinda makes sense, but what if after you beat Li Cangxu, the Heavenly Spring Saint Lord decides to avenge his disciple and takes it out on you?”
“What can you do? Just bull through it!”
Li Cangxu burst into hearty laughter and drew his sword, eying Yang Zhen, he said “Refreshing!”
Yang Zhen pursed his lips and said, “Let’s get on with it!”
Boom!
Boom!
Both of them radiated overwhelming energy at once. With the roar of fierce beasts shaking the heavens, a dragon and a snake soared into the sky and collided in mid-air!
Roar——!
A terrifying wave of energy rose up. From behind Yang Zhen, a dragon roared, and from behind Li Cangxu, a snake coiled, and together they unleashed a horrifying blast of energy that threatened to tear the heavens and the earth apart. The Heavenly Spring Saint Lord and the Heavenly Snow Saint Lord hastily raised barriers to protect the bystanders from collateral damage.
The crowd was startled by the shattering strike before them, and they retreated in unison, leaving only Yang Zhen and Li Cangxu standing alone in the alchemy arena.
This was a clash of momentum.
Li Cangxu rose up into the air, a long sword in his hand. Suddenly, his sword let out a deafening hum, and countless rays of sword light spread out on all sides, forming a sword formation. Carrying a terrifying wave of force, it charged towards Yang Zhen.
The violent waves unleashed thunderous rumbles. For a moment, everyone’s faces turned pale. Such a terrifying momentum nearly shocked their spirits. The surrounding air ignited, a heavenly fire that blotted out the sun, impossible to look upon directly.
At the same time, Yang Zhen also displayed a tidal wave of his own energy, the Great Missing Sword in his hand exploded with an ominous black light. Rising into the sky with him, it powerfully collided with the sky full of sword light.
Boom—boom—boom!
A terrifying thunderous sound echoed, causing everyone to look up in astonishment. Amid the heavenly spectacle of turbulence, Li Cangxu’s voice echoed from all directions: “This martial art was passed down to me by my master. For countless years, I have been unable to comprehend its mysteries. Today, if you die under this sword intent, your life will not have been in vain.”
Humm!
Sword lights blotted out the sky, and the terrifying sword matrix transformed in an instant. An eerie aura, oppressive like the weight of the world, converged on Yang Zhen from the air. In the blink of an eye, the raging sword formations condensed into the shape of a lotus flower.
The Heavenly Spring Saint Lord gasped, his face filled with surprise, exclaiming, “Great Delusion Heavenly Lotus Sword Technique!”
“What!” Fang Zhongjian shook with disbelief, exclaiming in shock, “Great Delusion Heavenly Lotus Sword Technique? Could it really be the Great Delusion Heavenly Lotus Sword Technique?”
Humm!
A thunderous explosion came, and a terrifying energy swept over them. Despite the barriers set up by the two Saint Lords, everyone present still felt the chilling gusts of wind blowing at them, and their faces instantly filled with alarm.
High in the sky, Yang Zhen’s body had been mangled with wounds at some point. His bloodstains exuded a lingering fierceness.
As they witnessed the descent of the heavenly lotus, Yang Zhen’s body pounded under pressure, causing everyone from Heavenly Snow Holy Domain and Plum Blossom Sky to shudder.
However, much to everyone’s surprise, although Yang Zhen was laden with wounds, his momentum didn’t decrease; in fact, he even burst into laughter. As he watched the heavenly lotus descend from above, his Great Missing Sword suddenly erupted with an ominous black light. He laughed and said, “Then you should also experience the martial skill I, the Sao Saint, created – the Overbearing Sword Technique!”
Boom—!
A terrifying wave burst out, and a sky-shattering roar came from within the black light. The Evil Shadow Black Glutton bellowed towards the sky, its gaping mouth swallowing the heavenly lotus whole. Thud-thud-thud sounded the dull noises, and the surrounding space vibrated violently.
“What… what is this?”
Many people raised their heads in horror, their faces filled with disbelief as they watched the terrifying shadow in the sky, their hearts trembling!
Li Cangxu roared with laughter, his sword pointed towards Yang Zhen, his face full of excitement: “You really didn’t disappoint me. I didn’t expect you to possess such a divine spirit!”
“What! Divine Spirit?”
The Heavenly Spring Saint Lord looked at the Evil Shadow Black Glutton, who was casting a roaring shadow in midair, seemingly unharmed man in bewilderment.
In mid-air, a terrifying black wave rose dramatically. Amidst the blinding sword light, a shadow flashed past, followed by a chilling cold flash of energy, shooting sharply towards Yang Zhen.
“Yang Zhen, be careful!”
“Damned!”
“Fang Zhongjian, you dare!”
Fang Zhongjian roared with laughter, seemingly crazed as he clashed with Yang Zhen. A moment later, a sinister laughter came from the black light, and in the blink of an eye, it fully engulfed Yang Zhen.
“Ghost Pill Master, you’re asking for death!”
Li Cangxu’s face changed dramatically, and with a single sword strike, he charged towards the Ghost Pill Master!
The Heavenly Spring Saint Lord was enraged and scolded, “Li Cangxu, what are you doing?”
Li Cangxu sneered, not looking back, “Doing what I should do!”
Meanwhile, Yang Zhen, up in the sky, stared blankly at the chaotic scene before him, muttering to himself, “Holy crap, this is an internal conflict!”
