Chapter 658: Chapter 664: Dawn’s Heart! Above Emperor Realm? (Second Update)
A fight broke out.
In just an instant, at the moment of contact between humans and the Demonic Race, a battle began.
Yang Zhen looked at the shameless cat who appeared unsurprised and asked doubtfully, “You don’t seem surprised at all?”
The shameless cat scoffed and said, “What’s there to be surprised about? The grudges between human practitioners and the Demonic Race have been passed down for tens of thousands of years. How could they be resolved by just two decades of seclusion?”
“Isn’t it said that many from the Demonic Race yearn for a peaceful life, away from worldly troubles? Can this longstanding grudge still not be resisted?”
The shameless cat shook its head and said, “Sometimes, even if all the members of the Demonic Race want to live a peaceful life, human practitioners won’t let them. Whether the emergence of the Demonic Race is good or bad, it’s hard to tell.”
Yang Zhen didn’t know about the grudges between humans and the Demonic Race and wasn’t particularly interested in them. So he only felt a slight surprise and then chose to ignore it.
At the moment, finding that rooster was of utmost importance. Yang Zhen had a strong hunch that the rooster was somewhere in these Ancient Ruins.
“Let’s go, quickly. That rooster is a blabbermouth. Don’t let it get cut down as a demon beast.”
Yang Zhen retrieved his gaze from mid-air and beckoned to the shameless cat.
The shameless cat laughed out loud, “Don’t worry, that bastard of a cat has a tough life. Even if all the members of the Demonic Race die, it won’t.”
“Why?”
Yang Zhen was taken aback, he hadn’t considered this. The rooster didn’t seem powerful, it just had a somewhat tough body like the shameless cat did.
Amidst this chaotic battle, having a tough body didn’t guarantee survival. The sounds of fighting filled the air, and injured humans or members of the Demonic Race would occasionally fall from the sky.
Yang Zhen shook his head. The grudge must be severe for it to become a battle of life and death.
For nearly two hours, a man and a cat searched the battlefield. As more and more humans and members of the Demonic Race participated in the battle, Yang Zhen and the shameless cat found themselves in a bind.
“Damn it, battles are breaking out everywhere. Kid, are you sure we can find the rooster in this situation?”
The shameless cat lay on Yang Zhen’s shoulder, asking out of boredom.
Yang Zhen didn’t answer the cat’s question but frowned and said, “Shameless cat, don’t you think something’s wrong?”
The shameless cat paused and asked, “What do you mean?”
Yang Zhen kicked an injured wolf-eared member of the Demonic Race aside. He pointed at a strange cave in a hollow with a puzzled look on his face and said, “These humans seem to be attacking a certain place.”
The shameless cat widened his eyes and looked in the direction Yang Zhen pointed. Suddenly, his face brightened, “Quick, let’s go there. Damn it, I now remember. That place is a heritage site of the Demonic Race.”
“Demonic Race heritage?” Yang Zhen was surprised, “What do human beings want with the Demonic Race’s heritage?”
The shameless cat laughed out loud and said, “Kid, the heritage of the Demonic Race isn’t necessarily exclusive to them. It’s just something they guard. Do you see that light? If my memory serves me right, that’s the radiance emitted by the Dawn’s Heart.”
“What heart?” Yang Zhen looked at the ray of light that pierced the sky. Countless warriors from the Demonic Race were desperately guarding it while innumerable human practitioners were attacking relentlessly.
“Dawn’s Heart. This must be the location of the Beiqi Demon Tribe. They have been guarding the Dawn’s Heart for generations, yet not a single member of the Demonic Race has gained this heritage. Do you know why?”
Yang Zhen had no idea why. He slapped the shameless cat and said, “Spit it out if you have something to say.”
The shameless cat smirked and said, “According to legend, the Dawn’s Heart is a Heart of Heaven and Earth obtained by the Dawn Emperor. It was sensed and comprehended from the Demonic Race’s land. You could say that it belongs to the Demonic Race. However, few people know that the Dawn Emperor was actually a human being.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen’s eyes widened in astonishment, he asked incredulously, “Could a human emperor comprehend demonic things?”
The Jinxed Cat tutted and said, “How surprising! It is said that long ago, humans were merely a branch of the Demonic Race. Strictly speaking, the Demonic Race were the original rulers of this world. After many years of evolution, humans have developed a unique heritage distinct from the Demonic Race.”
Yang Zhen, unable to fully comprehend, subconsciously asked, “Then, what exactly is the Dawn’s Heart?”
While urging Yang Zhen to hurry, Jinxed Cat explained, “The Dawn’s Heart is simply what the Dawn Emperor comprehended and its real name should be the Heart of Heaven and Earth. It is said that anyone who obtains the Heart of Heaven and Earth would be the Son of Heaven and Earth, not only would they be favored by the heavens and blessed with great fortune, they would also better comprehend the cosmos. The Dawn Emperor was the only practitioner to break through to the Emperor Realm.”
“Breaking through the Emperor Realm?”
This time, Yang Zhen was genuinely surprised.
“After breaking through the Emperor Realm, what is the next realm, longevity or ascension?”
Caught off guard by the question, Jinxed Cat retorted irritably, “How the hell should I know if it’s longevity or ascension after breaking through the Emperor Realm? Maybe they just drop dead!”
“So many people wish to obtain the Dawn’s Heart?” Yang Zhen seemed a bit skeptical.
It was clear that after the Dawn Emperor broke through to the Heavenly Realm, there were no records left. Not to mention creating a legendary tale, there was no one who could even confirm whether he was still alive.
Jinxed Cat curled his lips and said, “While the Dawn Emperor eventually disappeared, he was the only one strong enough to contend with that guy. All thanks to the Dawn’s heart. Once you understand this, you would comprehend the importance of Dawn’s Heart.”
To contend with that guy!
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen’s heart thumped.
Although Jinxed Cat didn’t specify who this guy was, Yang Zhen realized that he wasn’t referring to anyone else but the one who, alone with his sword, angrily vanquished three hundred and sixty heavenly calamities.
That guy was the most arrogant figure in current legends, with the status of an emperor, he withstood three hundred and sixty heavenly calamities. Such an impressive feat was beyond what most people dared to dream of.
However, such a terrifying character was not the most powerful in this world. There was also the Dawn Emperor who was on par with him.
This person was the Dawn Emperor, who was only able to match that guy because of the Dawn’s Heart.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen’s heart was indeed ablaze with anticipation.
Ignoring what the Dawn’s Heart really was, the mere legend was enough to spark Yang Zhen’s interest and have him give it a shot.
Yang Zhen was not interested in becoming the Son of Heaven and Earth, those fairy tales were all lies. However, obtaining this item would allow him to understand more mysteries of the cosmos which was what truly intrigued him.
Just then, a powerful demon from the Beiqi Demon Tribe roared with laughter, radiating a terrifying demonic aura, he bellowed at the universe, “Shameless humans, dreaming of acquiring the inheritance of our Beiqi Demon Tribe is pure lunacy. Today, whoever dares enter will die. If anyone escapes, I, Pikachu, will never set foot in Beiqi again!”
Yang Zhen, who had initially found the apparition terrifying, nearly fell flat on his face laughing at the creature’s name.
Holy Pikachu, what a name!
Just then, a cold huff echoed as Duan Sihai slowly descended from the sky and fixed his gaze on Pikachu, “Pikachu, huh? The treasure you demons have guarded for twenty thousand years, it’s time to return it to us!”
“Bullshit, our Beiqi Demon Tribe’s treasure has always been ours, who the hell do you think you are?”
“Ancient Life Sect, Duan Sihai!”
Boom!
The auras of the two powerful beings exploded. Yang Zhen and the Jinxed Cat sneakily burrowed into the ground!
