Chapter 667: Chapter 673: He’s not dead! He can’t be dead! (Fifth update)
Everyone was stunned by the sudden spectacle before them, staring blankly at the two stunning women in mid-air, their expressions wavering between disbelief and awe.
The white-bearded old man looked serious, furrowing his brows and asking, “The explosion of the Thunder Lustre Hellfire is so intense that even we can’t get near it. Who are these two women who dare to venture in?”
Duan Sihai’s expression faltered as he murmured, “It’s them!”
“Them?” The white-bearded old man chuckled, “I didn’t expect you to know these two women, Duan. But with their only being at the peak of the Mahayana Phase in terms of cultivation, it’s very reckless of them to attempt to enter the Thunder Lustre Hellfire.”
“If my guess is correct, they’re trying to find someone inside,” Duan Sihai said, his face flashing an odd expression. Li Cangxu, standing by his side, subtly shifted his gaze to look deeply at one of the women.
The Daoist Fool, Han Yan’er!
The white-bearded old man erupted in laughter, saying: “Absurd! Who could survive inside such a torturous place? To the best of my knowledge, the most powerful human Practitioner has only reached the Divine Transformation Stage, and is nowhere near here. You’re not suggesting there’s a Peak Divine Transformation Expert inside, are you?”
Hearing the white-bearded old man’s words, the surrounding human Practitioners all burst into laughter, their faces tinged with pity for the two stunning women. But curiosity welled up within them – just who was it that these two exceptional beauties were risking their lives to find inside Thunder Lustre Hellfire?
At that moment, Li Cangxu took a deep breath and said slowly, “Yang Zhen!”
Duan Sihai was taken aback and looked at Li Cangxu in surprise, “You’re sure that Yang Zhen is inside?”
Li Cangxu smiled and replied, “Master, who else but Yang Zhen would make Saintess Hua and the Daoist Fool so anxious?”
Duan Sihai sighed and said, “Indeed, Yang Zhen is truly remarkable. However, it’s a pity. As the white-bearded elder said, even the two of us wouldn’t dare to venture into Thunder Lustre Hellfire. It is not just ordinary heavenly thunder and hellfire, but the will of Heaven and Earth, an existence that eradicates all beings.”
“What?” Li Cangxu was taken aback and stared blankly at the raging sky, his eyes flashing with horror as he murmured to himself, “What are you trying to do?”
The white-bearded old man nearby looked surprised, asking curiously, “The Yang Zhen you’re talking about – is he that notorious kid from Northern Island?”
Duan Sihai nodded, smiled, and said, “He is one of the most talented young men I’ve ever seen!”
The white-bearded old man laughed heartily, a disdainful glint in his eyes. “Such a young man, with cultivation surpassing his comprehension, is truly absurd. When I came out of seclusion, I heard about this Yang Zhen. I thought it was rather ridiculous at the time, and seeing what he’s done now – there’s a saying, isn’t there? About ‘a newborn calf not fearing a tiger’. It’s a shame he’s thrown his life away so recklessly.”
“Huh?” Duan Sihai was taken aback and asked incredulously, “Someone’s come out of the Thunder Lustre Hellfire?”
“What?” The white-bearded old man was shocked. “Yang Zhen? Impossible! Under these circumstances, even I wouldn’t be able to withstand the eruption of the Thunder Lustre Hellfire. How could Yang Zhen possibly survive and come out?”
“It’s not Yang Zhen!” Duan Sihai’s face was filled with disbelief as he squinted into the distance, then let out a muted gasp of surprise. “It’s two members of the Demonic Race!”
“Members of the Demonic Race couldn’t possibly survive under such violent Heavenly Will either! Could it be that they didn’t venture deep within?”
The white-bearded old man’s face flickered with uncertainty. He glanced at Duan Sihai and asked with a smile, “Brother Sihai, would you like to go and see for yourself?”
After a moment of contemplation, Duan Sihai nodded and said, “That might be best.”
Countless people were observing this strange spectacle unfold. Two people had indeed emerged from the Thunder Lustre Hellfire, and they seemed to be unscathed.
By that point, Hua Youyue and the Daoist Fool were about to plunge into the Hellfire as well. Seeing the two figures emerge, they paused in surprise.
“Are you ladies Hua Youyue and Miss Han Yan’er?” Kua Hu asked, a hint of amusement in his eyes as he studied the women before him.
Before going into Thunder Lustre Hellfire, Yang Zhen had told Kua Hu and Que’er to find the two women and have them leave first.
He hadn’t expected that refining the Heart of Heaven and Earth in five days would be impossible. And if Yang Zhen did not come out within five days, Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er would surely try to enter the Hellfire, regardless of whether they faced the will of Heaven and Earth or the Thunder Lustre Hellfire.
Hearing Kua Hu’s words, Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er looked surprised. Han Yan’er quickly asked, “Sir, did Yang Zhen send you to find us?”
An odd expression crossed Kua Hu’s face as he hesitated, then said, “Indeed, Yang Zhen asked me to find you ladies, but …”
“But what?” Hua Youyue asked, her gaze fixed on Kua Hu, “Is he still inside?”
Kua Hu nodded and said with a sigh, “Ladies, while Yang Zhen was refining the Heart of Heaven and Earth …”
“Sisters, Yang Zhen is dead!” Que’er blurted out.
Yang Zhen, dead!
Hearing Que’er’s words, Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er were visibly shocked!
Sheath! Sheath!
The Sun and Moon Double Shadow Holy Weapon snapped out of their sheaths, and the aura around Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er surged.
Boom!
An overwhelming wave of power erupted from Hua Youyue, the dazzling might of her cultivation making even Hua Sihai and the white-bearded old man jump in alarm.
Especially the white-bearded old man, his face full of disbelief as he exclaimed, “This is the power of Momentum! Impossible! How can the younger generation master such a force, the one that can contend with Heaven and Earth … how is this possible?”
“What?” Li Cangxu’s face changed, he stared at Hua Youyue in amazement and murmured, “This is the legendary Momentum, a force that can counteract the Heavens and Earth?”
Refining Void into Reality, consolidating Momentum during the Mahayana phase, creating illusions is easy, but condensing Momentum was even more difficult than entering the Heavenly Realm!
Who would have thought that Hua Youyue, at such a young age, would have already realized the power of Momentum?
Boom!
Another explosion echoed in the air as a burst of starlight suddenly erupted from Han Yan’er. The sky was filled with stars, and boundless power roiled out from her in waves. The countless stars burned brightly, covering the entire sky as though shaded by night.
“Taoist Feeling?” The white-bearded old man’s eyes were almost popping out of his head. He had forgotten how to cry out in surprise, mumbling to himself, “Impossible! What is the origin of these two women?”
One containing the power of Momentum, which can rival the Heavens and Earth, in her body and the other able to release the Taoist Feeling, this … The white-bearded old man had begun to question his understanding of the universe.
This can’t be!
Kua Hu, standing before Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er, also looked stunned, his face full of disbelief. He opened and closed his mouth but couldn’t utter a word.
Two women like these obviously had no ordinary relationship with Yang Zhen. But Yang Zhen was indeed dead.
“Ladies, calm down. The eruption of the Thunder Lustre Hellfire is happening now. Even if you rush in, you won’t be able to find Yang Zhen’s body.”
“He’s not dead!” Hua Youyue said slowly, looking at Kua Hu and asking softly, “Sir, where is he?”
Han Yan’er took a deep breath, her eyes sparkling like stars. She looked resolutely at Kua Hu, nodded, and said with unwavering conviction, “He … he can’t be dead!”
