A tender green sprout emerged from inside Yang Zhen's head, leaving him completely bewildered.
Is this... something new growing again?
Yang Zhen was a little annoyed. How many things had grown inside his head in such a short time?
The Heaven and Earth Azure Lotus and the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus still exist today. Although these two have no roots, they still take up space inside the head.
The space of Divine Sense is only so big to begin with. If a towering tree were to grow there, wouldn't that mean there would be less space available?
Fortunately, it was just a sprout from a soybean and shouldn't grow much bigger. Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Empress Fengyu.
What does this woman mean? She's trying to revive her out of kindness, but she's already thinking about killing her before she's even awake?
No, cannibalism!
Yang Zhen was almost drained dry by Empress Fengyu!
Although Empress Fengyu tried to inhale but seemed to have no effect, this could not conceal Empress Fengyu motives.
This woman has ulterior motives!
Oh shit!
Yang Zhen was eyeing her intently. If she still wanted to pull this stunt, Yang Zhen didn't care whether Empress Fengyu was the woman of the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable, nor whether she was Emperor Realm expert. He would just charge in and fight to the death.
Even if she's Emperor Realm expert, if Yang Zhen doesn't want her to have an easy time, she can forget about successfully being resurrected.
However, just as Yang Zhen was preparing to fight desperately, another unexpected event occurred.
A terrifying surge of life force converged, as if the entire life force of the Land of Five Desolations had been absorbed by Empress Fengyu. Just moments ago, it had formed a vortex around Empress Fengyu. Now, after the bean sprout in Yang Zhen's mind had grown, nearly a third of its life force and energy had been released and rushed towards Yang Zhen.
This sudden change completely terrified Yang Zhen.
Damn it, that's the power of the Emperor Realm expert! I wonder if my small body can withstand it.
But then again, what exactly is going on with this Empress Fengyu?
Just a moment ago he seemed to want to absorb everything in the world, but now, after letting out a surprised "Eh?", he's actually sharing so many benefits with him?
Yang Zhen wasn't one to be polite to others. Seeing the endless vitality and power surging towards him, he opened his mouth and inhaled!
Of course, opening his mouth was just a subconscious action; things like vitality Emperor Realm power didn't require Yang Zhen to take the initiative at all.
A terrifying aura swirled within the spatial barrier, frantically entering Yang Zhen's body.
However, this power was simply too immense. After entering Yang Zhen's body, it instantly filled both Yang Zhen's Divine Sense space and his physical body.
Damn it, before Yang Zhen lost consciousness, for some reason, she had a feeling that she had been raped.
Rumble!
A terrifying surge of energy churned within his body, and boundless vitality propelled Yang Zhen's lifespan to an astonishing degree.
Yang Zhen pondered that, if natural disasters and man-made calamities were disregarded, his current lifespan would be longer than that of a tortoise.
Is this a case of turning misfortune into blessing?
Yang Zhen was unaware that he had already fainted, leaving everything to Empress Fengyu.
In other words, Yang Zhen accepted her fate.
Outside the spatial barrier, everyone stared in disbelief at the horrific scene before them.
Yang Zhen's Desolate Heaven Sacrifice was already astonishing, but who could have imagined that a powerful Emperor Realm expert could summon all the life force and power in the sky with just a thought?
Let alone ordinary cultivators, even powerful figures like the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable and the Sword Devil Dao Devil, Final Step, dared not rashly enter the spatial barrier at this moment.
Of course, they couldn't get in either, since it was the method of the Emperor Realm expert, and even Yang Zhen couldn't leave.
The power and life force inside were incredibly dense; it was hard to tell whether Yang Zhen, that bastard, had received a great fortune or suffered a terrible torment.
An unbearable force would continuously move in and out of Yang Zhen's body; that terrifying sensation was absolutely unpleasant.
"Oh no, Yang Zhen has fainted. So he really couldn't withstand this Emperor Realm power?"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, and everyone noticed Yang Zhen's condition.
"This Yang Zhen is truly Heaven-Favored Person. He is actually able to bathe in the life force of the Emperor Realm. This vitality is probably more terrifying than all of us combined."
"So what? Just as power cannot be refined into the body once it cannot be sustained, life force also has its limits. If Yang Zhen is greedy, it will probably only backfire."
"Yes, after all, it's the power of the Emperor Realm. It's not so easy to refine. Fortunately, Yang Zhen has enough self-awareness. If he faints now, he might be able to gain some benefits. Otherwise, he might become insatiable and end up losing more than he gains."
"Look, Yang Zhen has stopped refining."
The crowd reacted in various ways. After seeing Yang Zhen stop refining, they discussed among themselves. Some felt sorry, some breathed a sigh of relief, some gloated, and some felt somewhat fortunate.
"If it were you, how much could you absorb and refine?" the Sword Devil asked the Dao Devil beside him with a strange expression.
Dao Devil shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. If it were me, one-tenth would be about right."
"I think so too, but I don't know exactly how much Young Friend Yang absorbed and refined. It can't be less than one-tenth, can it?"
"Perhaps... with young friend Yang's talent and aptitude, he can refine and absorb one-fifth?"
"How could it be twice our number?" the Sword Devil exclaimed, shaking his head like a rattle drum.
In mid-air, Empress Fengyu's figure gradually appeared, making it impossible to tell that she was a divine soul.
As her long, snow-white hair fluttered in the wind, a hint of emotion gradually appeared in the Empress Fengyu's icy blue eyes, no longer appearing completely empty.
At this moment, Empress Fengyu's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. She turned to look at Yang Zhen, who was still lying unconscious in mid-air, and a curious expression appeared on her face as she murmured to herself, "What a strange physique."
" Feng Yu... you... are awake!"
Nine Dragons Saint Venerable stood there, his face filled with excitement, staring blankly at Empress Fengyu.
Her empress-like beauty captivated everyone.
Empress Fengyu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then turned to look at the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable. Her expression was calm, her eyes as still as a pool of clear water, without any ripples.
Everyone fell silent, staring at the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable and the Empress Fengyu.
boom--!
Suddenly, a monstrous wave of energy erupted from Empress Fengyu. A golden phoenix cried out to the sky, and as the energy surged, the spatial barrier shattered. Terrifying turbulent currents of void rushed and crashed, nearly engulfing everyone.
Countless people gasped in shock, staring at Empress Fengyu in horror.
With a casual wave of her hand, Empress Fengyu smoothed out the spatial turbulence, and in a flash, she appeared beside the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable, asking, "Who hurt you?"
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable laughed heartily, shook his head, and said, "These are just minor injuries, nothing serious. But you, being able to be resurrected, even if Nine Dragons were dead, I would be content."
Empress Fengyu wore a serene smile, glancing thoughtfully at Han Yan'er, whose face was somewhat pale. A look of surprise flashed across her eyes before she turned to Yang Zhen in mid-air and said, "Was it this little fellow who saved me?"
