That's terrifying. Compared to the power released by the Nine Dragons, Yang Zhen is like a joke.
Nine Dragons was right in front of him, but Yang Zhen felt as if he were facing a towering mountain, or rather, as if he were facing a ferocious beast that was as big as a mountain.
Such a terrifying and unshakeable aura made Yang Zhen swallow hard, and his stubborn temper flared up as well.
Buzz--!
Yang Zhen unleashed a playful aura, like a mountain-splitting axe, charging towards the Nine Dragons Great Saint with an unyielding spirit.
The Nine Dragons Great Saint let out a soft exclamation, seemingly surprised that Yang Zhen could actually resist, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
For the first time, Yang Zhen truly understood what it meant to command respect without anger!
No matter how much Yang Zhen's axe pounded against the mountain, the mountain remained unmoved, as if an ant were trying to poke an elephant's hind hoof with a stick.
The elephant didn't even glance at it!
"Not bad, keep trying!" Nine Dragons's face broke into a smile again, but Yang Zhen had a curse in his mouth that he didn't know whether he should say on the spot.
Yang Zhen originally thought that Great Saint Fengli, was only slightly Great Saint than Mei Wuhua, and that would be his limit. After all, they were both Great Saint, just one or the other who broke through earlier or later. Yang Zhen never dreamed that the Nine Dragons Great Saint, who was even slightly weaker than the legendary Great Saint Fengli, was already so terrifying.
Let alone mastering that Divine Ability power of near-instantaneous teleportation, his sheer aura alone was enough to crush Yang Zhen to death.
What kind of trouble is this?
They might as well just keep a low profile and behave themselves!
Yang Zhen never imagined that one day he would be unable to even manage things.
Seeing Yang Zhen purse his lips, Nine Dragons laughed heartily and said, "Kid, do you know how many old men will be envious of you for having already grasped the essence of power at such a young age?"
Yang Zhen snorted twice and said, "I don't know how many old men are envious, but I do know that any random old man could crush me like an ant."
Nine Dragons nodded and said, "In the past, you were quite the star of the Cultivation World. But now the world has changed drastically, and powerful figures can appear at any time. From now on, you should keep a low profile in front of strangers."
Yang Zhen glared at him, then pouted and said, "I'm the most low-key person around."
Nine Dragons chuckled and said, "Stop being so glib. We're destined to meet, so I'll give you a pointer. There are nine levels of power, each level representing a new world. It's said that after comprehending all nine levels, one can understand the world at a glance. Of course, you're still far from that stage, so just listen and forget about it."
Yang Zhen's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "What level is my power at now?"
"Which level?" The Nine Dragons Great Saint was taken aback, then said irritably, "What do you think?"
Yang Zhen muttered, "If it's not the sixth level, it should at least be the fifth level, right?"
The Nine Dragons Great Saint laughed heartily, seemingly very pleased, and after a long while, he looked at Yang Zhen with a half-smile.
"Is it only the fourth level of heaven?"
"Could it be the Triple Heaven?"
"Digging grass, a completely different world?"
Seeing that the Nine Dragons Great Saint was still shaking his head, Yang Zhen plopped down on the ground and said, "I'm not playing anymore!"
What's the point of even trying? Their power is divided into nine heavens; those at the ninth heaven can see the world clearly at a glance—that's the level of Shakyamuni, achieving Buddhahood on the spot. And what about us?
The First Heaven? Are you kidding me?
Nine Dragons smiled at Yang Zhen, and as if afraid of discouraging Yang Zhen, quickly said, "You don't need to give up on yourself. Although you're still in the First Heaven, you've already surpassed the vast majority of your peers."
"Isn't that the first level?" Yang Zhen to sleep; whenever he was hit with a blow, he just wanted to sleep.
"What if I told you that you could break through to the second level in at most half a month?"
"The Nine Dragons Great Saint said with a smile."
Yang Zhen's eyes lit up, he grinned, patted his bottom as he stood up, and said, "I knew it! How could a one-of-a-kind genius like me only be at the first level? Look, I'm about to break through to the second level!"
Nine Dragons took a deep breath, his expression turning serious, and said, "Whether you can break through to the second level depends on your own destiny!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, crashing down on Yang Zhen like a mountain.
What a huge mountain!
In an attempt to provoke Yang Zhen, the Nine Dragons Great Saint seemed to be getting serious. He used his power to create a mountain, which materialized into a massive, towering structure. With a thunderous roar, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, it crashed heavily onto Yang Zhen.
The dragon-like creature beneath Yang Zhen's feet let out a mournful howl and turned its head to make a dissatisfied "pfft" sound towards the Nine Dragons.
Feeling unwell, Yang Zhen's face contorted in pain. He roared and slammed his hands onto his shoulders, lowering his body by half.
"Enjoy it! Hopefully, there's still time!" Nine Dragons said with a smile.
Feel my ass!
Yang Zhen's veins were bulging; if he wasn't careful, someone could die.
It's just breaking through to the second level, why does it take half a month?
Watch as this Sage of Saunter breaks through in a heartbeat!
Yang Zhen glared at the Nine Dragons Great Saint, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes. Although his body was trembling, his hands Mount Tai.
When it comes to talent, Yang Zhen has never backed down. Now that he knows the power structure is divided into nine levels, he might as well start with the Nine Dragons.
Yang Zhen was able to unleash his power by drawing upon the power of heaven and earth. This power is invisible and colorless, yet it gives people an extremely strong sensory stimulation.
Yang Zhen's sudden enlightenment startled Nine Dragons, who stared wide-eyed.
However, the next moment, Nine Dragons was completely dumbfounded!
Yang Zhen's aura has changed!
If Yang Zhen's aura just now was like a cat glaring at a mouse, then his current aura is like the death stare of the king of the jungle!
"Interesting!" Nine Dragons looked at Yang Zhen with great interest, muttering to himself, "He's entered a state of enlightenment so quickly, and he's about to break through to the second level. This kid's talent is truly unparalleled in my life!"
At this point, Nine Dragons glanced at the distant, endless mountains and nodded, saying, "We should have enough time. Before we reach our destination, Kid Yang might actually be able to break through to the second level. I've brought you a pleasant surprise."
Nine Dragons muttered for a moment, then when he looked away, his eyes widened even more, and he almost choked on his own saliva. "You... you broke through?"
Buzz!
A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Yang Zhen, making him appear like a sharp blade, his brilliance fully revealed!
"Good lad, you've broken through so quickly?"
The Nine Dragons Great Saint Sage laughed heartily, then realized something, abruptly shut his mouth, and looked at Yang Zhen with a surprised expression.
Yang Zhen... is still in the process of enlightenment.
"What kind of monster have I found?!"
The tiger roared through the mountains, its momentum like a rainbow. Just as the Nine Dragons Great Saint was full of praise, Yang Zhen's aura surged once more, and he forcefully lifted a giant mountain on his shoulders.
"This..."
Nine Dragons has a feeling of having lived a long and miserable life.
