Yang Zhen wasn't worried at all about the surging demonic energy.
In a battle between masters, the initiative can often be seized in a single moment of stillness or movement.
The standoff between the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable and the Devil Venerable Shuya had lasted for a long time. If this continued, the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable's situation would obviously be dire, which is why Yang Zhen spoke up to remind him.
Sure enough, Nine Dragons fully recovered from his abnormal state. Laughing heartily, he leaped forward and arrived in front of Yang Zhen in an instant. The Saint-Slaying Sword in his hand suddenly burst out with light and crashed into the demonic energy with a bang.
A deafening roar echoed as the Sword-Ray and demonic energy collided, causing the surrounding world to tremble and both vanish from sight.
Nine dragons roared behind Nine Dragons, shaking the heavens. He stood in mid-air like a War God, saying to the sky, " Shuya, in this form, you are no match for me. I know you have come out, why not show yourself and fight?"
"To appear and fight?"
Shuya's voice surged in from all directions, deafeningly loud. Amidst his laughter, he sneered, "Show yourself and fight, then let a bunch of shameless bastards attack you? Do you think I'm a fool?"
Yang Zhen exclaimed, "Hey, fellow Nine Dragons, this guy doesn't seem stupid. If he doesn't come out now, is there really nothing we can do about him?"
Nine Dragons said in a deep voice, "These demonic energies are merely his clones. Even if we destroy them all, it will only result in a slight loss. Since he refuses to come out, we naturally have no way to take his life."
Shuya laughed heartily, sounding very pleased with himself.
Yang Zhen couldn't stand such arrogant voices. He rolled up his sleeves and walked up to Nine Dragons, saying, "Why would we take his life? We can kill this guy anytime. Compared to just taking his life, the most satisfying thing is to slowly kill off all his clones."
Upon hearing this, everyone around gasped and looked at Yang Zhen with strange expressions.
"You bastard!" Shuya's voice suddenly turned fierce, and the terrifying dark clouds in the sky surged and churned, as if a hundred pairs of eyes were glaring at Yang Zhen, making people extremely uncomfortable. "You brat, you've only just broken through to the Saint Venerable Realm, do you really think the Nine Dragons can protect you?"
"Ha!" Yang Zhen put his hands on his hips, raised his head, and said, "Are you getting angry? This Sage of Saunter is right here, come and bite me if you dare."
When the Sword Devil, the Dao Devil, and the others caught up, they heard Yang Zhen's words and their lips twitched uncontrollably.
Zhou Tong grinned and said, "I really don't know who has offended that bastard Yang Zhen this time. Poor thing, truly pitiful. Isn't he going to be driven to his death by anger?"
"Roar!"
A deafening roar resounded, and the raging clouds in the sky instantly transformed into countless longswords, hurtling towards Yang Zhen once more.
"You insolent brat, today I will offer your life as a sacrifice to my sword!"
A deafening, terrifying sound startled everyone.
Amidst the spatial tremors, countless Sword-Ray seemed to pierce through the void, arriving before Yang Zhen in the blink of an eye.
Nine Dragons, Kowloon shoved Yang Zhen aside and said, "Fine, today I'll slay one of your clones and see how arrogant you can be!"
roar!
The Nine Dragons Grandeured, and a violent shockwave erupted from the Saint-Slaying Sword, crashing heavily into the black Sword-Ray.
As the Nine Dragons soared back into the sky, waves of energy surged around them. As their longswords flew, they resembled a colorful ribbon piercing through the heavens and earth, tearing through the void and becoming invincible. They not only shattered all the black Sword-Ray, but also smashed the black mist clouds in mid-air to pieces.
Yang Zhen stared in disbelief, thinking to himself that this was truly a battle between powerful beings, capable of shattering the very fabric of space. In comparison, the world itself seemed rather pitiful.
Who did Heaven offend? It's constantly being tormented by these powerful beings.
No wonder a World-Destroying Heavenly Tribulation erupted at the end of the Great Wilderness Era; the heavens were angered and, in their rage, decided to annihilate all the powerful beings in the world.
Thinking about it this way, Yang Zhen couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
The Shameless Cat watched with great excitement, jumping around as if it were giving orders.
"Damn, Nine Dragons's sword strike... who knows where it hit? That's a bit underhanded."
"Hey, Black Cloud's move wasn't bad, a mix of feints and real attacks. But you should have held on! What's with you dodging with your tail between your legs?"
"Oh my, shameless, kid. That old bastard Nine Dragons is just as shameless as you. Look at Black Cloud's reaction, he must be feeling a bit uncomfortable after being stabbed in the ass."
Yang Zhen slapped him and scolded, "Can't you be quiet for a moment? If this continues, the Land of Five Desolations will be destroyed, and then we'll all be finished."
The Shameless Cat shrank its neck, chuckled strangely, and said, "Kid, you're exaggerating a bit. How can heaven and earth be so easily destroyed? Let alone Saint Venerable, even if Emperor Realm expert were here, letting him fight freely, he couldn't destroy this place."
"What happened?" Yang Zhen asked curiously.
The Shameless Cat, feigning an air of profound knowledge, crossed its arms and said, "You don't understand. The Principle of Heaven and Earth are infallible. Do you think heaven and earth are unaware of this battle? They've probably already prepared for its evolution. No matter the outcome, heaven and earth can adapt according to profound principles. This battle might not only not be a bad thing for heaven and earth, but it might even promote the evolution of the Principle of Heaven and Earth. Heaven and earth are always perfected through endless changes."
Yang Zhen was speechless. He turned to Hua Youyue and asked, "Is that what happened?"
"That's right," Hua Youyue replied with a smile.
Yang Zhen's eyes lit up immediately.
At this moment, Devil Venerable Shuya seemed to have lost his temper. He roared, and the dark clouds suddenly gathered, and a huge figure appeared in mid-air.
Everyone gasped, and Yang Zhen was also astonished.
Although this Devil Venerable Shuya was Devil Cultivator and came from the Devil Domain, he looked no different from a human. In fact, he was tall and slender with delicate features, like a handsome young man.
"Damn, this Little White is actually pretty good-looking. He's almost as handsome as me, the Sage of Saunter."
The Shameless Cat chuckled, looking completely bewildered. "Is it so hard to admit that someone else is better?"
Yang Zhen was furious, glaring at him and saying, "Damn it, whose side are you on? This is what you call excellent? If this is excellent, then this ' Sage of Saunter' would be on top of the world!"
Before the Shameless Cat could speak, Yang Zhen leaped up and rushed towards the Shuya.
"If being handsome is a crime, then this ' Sage of Saunter' is guilty of heinous crimes that defy all reason and justice. This is too much for me!"
Shuya stumbled in mid-air, staring blankly at Yang Zhen, and said angrily, "Boy, do you really want to mess with me?"
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "That's unreasonable. You're fighting to the death with Sage of Saunter brother, do you expect me to just stand by and cheer Sage of Saunter on?"
Shuya was stunned, somewhat speechless.
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "Besides, this ' Sage of Saunter' isn't here to fight you; I just want to see if the Principle of Heaven and Earth and earth are truly as miraculous as they claim to be infallible."
With that, Yang Zhen drew his Great Deficiency Sword and charged toward Shuya with a roar.
"You little thief, take this sword!"
Shuya was completely dumbfounded, unable to react for a moment.
