" Harry Potter... don't be too big?"
The Shameless Cat muttered to itself, frowning as it asked, "Boy, why does this name seem a bit strange to me?"
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said dismissively, "What do you know? No matter where you are, big is true. Might makes right, power makes right, and yours is especially big. So, do you think you have the final say?"
Upon hearing this, the Shameless Cat's face lit up with joy, as if it made sense. Nodding solemnly, it declared, "From this day forward, my title will be 'Harry Potter Extra Big!'"
Yang Zhen patted the Shameless Cat's head and said, "I wish you a triumphant return to the Endless Great Wilderness, and that you can rediscover the feeling of dominating the world back then."
The Shameless Cat grinned like a 200-pound fat man and asked curiously, "When do we leave?"
Upon hearing this, the Flirtatious Chicken stopped preening its feathers and looked up at Yang Zhen with anticipation.
A hint of pleasure flashed across Yang Zhen's face, and he immediately said, "Get ready, we're leaving right away."
Upon hearing this, the Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken immediately cheered. However, the Shameless Cat somehow ran into the Flirtatious Chicken, and the two of them glared at each other and started fighting again, showing none of Harry Potter Extra Big dignity.
Yang Zhen originally intended to bring Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er along, but Han Yan'er was at a bottleneck in her cultivation and wanted to go into seclusion. However, she was summoned by Empress Fengyu, and the two of them sealed off the entire Emperor's Garden, preventing even the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable from entering.
Hua Youyue also had to arrange things for the group from Shangyuan Mountain. The Three Flowers Holy Land was in dire need of rebuilding and needed her help in every way. Yang Zhen had no choice but to give up and finally set off for Slug Bank Mountain with the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable.
Before leaving, Yang Zhen suddenly remembered the Heaven-Swallowing Hou. This creature hadn't appeared for a long time. If flying hadn't been so troublesome, Yang Zhen wouldn't have even thought of it. So he simply called it along to serve as his mount.
There aren't many people who can ride the Heaven-Swallowing Hou. Yang Zhen and his group were incredibly dashing along the way. In reality, it was just Yang Zhen and the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable. After the Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken got on the Heaven-Swallowing Hou's back, they found a place to sleep, claiming they needed to conserve their energy for a big battle. No one knows who the two were planning to take down.
The air was filled with demonic energy. Since the outbreak of the Great Wilderness Demonic Sect, that place had become the most dangerous, and no one other than an Emperor Realm expert could get close to it.
Although the Demonic Sect had been closed, the Devil Cultivator clearly did not want the cultivators of the Great Wilderness to be cut off from their escape route, so they sent heavy troops to guard it. The sects of the Great Wilderness joined forces and made no less than ten attempts, but not a single person was able to get close, let alone seal it.
Over time, the matter of the Demonic Sect faded away, and everyone tacitly agreed. It seemed that the Great Wilderness had been completely reshuffled by the Demonic Sect, and while it was preoccupied with its own problems, undercurrents were surging everywhere, with people coming and going and all sorts of alliances forming everywhere.
The Devil Cultivator don't seem to care if the Central Court unites. The Holy War in the Savage Wilderness era lasted for an unknown period of time, and both the cultivators of the Great Wilderness and the Devil Domain have gained experience in dealing with it.
Moreover, the Devil Cultivator are not currently seeking to seize the Main Realm for themselves; they merely want to find a place to establish a foothold. This is a level of acceptance that many powerful forces, such as the Three Flowers Holy Land, a great lineage of the Great Wilderness, can accept.
Throughout history, the victor has always been king, and the loser has always been villain; there is no such thing as justice in this world.
If Devil Cultivator cultivators don't excessively harm living beings, no one will want to invite trouble by banding together.
Clearly, the Devil Cultivator were also aware of this, but they simply dispersed and annihilated those forces that needed to be eliminated. Powerful sects like the Seven Luminaries Sect were merely besieged without being attacked, seeking a balance between the two.
Therefore, Rong Hexuan and others would not resort to any means to fight against them, which is also the helplessness of ordinary small sects.
Yang Zhen didn't know how Rong Hexuan and the others were doing with their preparations, but he saw many cultivators along the way heading towards Slug Bank Mountain. There were even several forces that had joined together from several sects, and they looked exceptionally powerful.
These people probably heard about the Devil Emperor and went to Slug Bank Mountain to seek his inheritance. Even if they couldn't cultivate the Devil Emperor's inheritance, for someone like Empress Fengyu, the Devil Emperor's understanding of heaven and earth was still a rare opportunity for cultivators in the Main Realm.
Perhaps this trip to the Devil Emperor will lead to the emergence of several Great Emperor sooner.
Of course, it is also possible to create Devil Emperor.
However, if Devil Emperor were to be created, it would be a disaster for the Great Wilderness. Devil Cultivator would likely gather under the Devil Emperor's command and become even more unscrupulous.
Just as Yang Zhen and Nine Dragons were enjoying the breeze, drinking wine, and admiring the clouds in the sky, a loud roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
As the two sat down, the Heaven-Swallowing Hou shuddered and then let out a deafening roar that roared into the sky, dispersing much of the surrounding clouds.
Yang Zhen and the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable exchanged a glance, both revealing solemn expressions.
Judging from that roar, the opponent's mount was no ordinary creature either; it was likely a powerful being comparable to the Heaven-Swallowing Hou.
Sure enough, a moment later, a colossal creature appeared before the two of them, startling them.
It was an enormous, ferocious beast, shaped like an ox but with wings on its back and a tail like a scorpion. Its entire body was covered with golden scales, and even a casual flap of its wings could cause a tremor in the surrounding world.
" Heaven-Splitting Ox!"
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with astonishment. "I never imagined that such a creature still exists today."
"What is Heaven-Splitting Ox?" This was the first time Yang Zhen had ever seen such a creature, and the first time he had ever heard of it. However, this did not prevent him from feeling the violent aura emanating from the Heaven-Splitting Ox, which went straight to his heart and gave him a terrifying feeling.
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable showed a hint of regret on his face and said, " The Heaven-Splitting Ox and the Heaven-Swallowing Hou are both ferocious beasts from the Savage Wilderness era. Beasts of this level can easily destroy the heavens and the earth, and are a great asset to Savage Wilderness cultivators. However, the world today no longer allows them to possess such terrifying power. This Heaven-Splitting Ox before us is less than eleventh in strength!"
Good heavens!
Yang Zhen was taken aback. It seemed that this Heaven-Splitting Ox could now change the very fabric of the world. Just how terrifying was the Heaven-Splitting Ox in its prime?
"What about the Heaven-Swallowing Hou?" Yang Zhen asked with a strange expression.
The Heaven-Swallowing Hou, also a ferocious beast from the Savage Wilderness era, is certainly no less powerful than the Heaven-Splitting Ox.
As expected, the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable chuckled and said, "Your Heaven-Swallowing Hou, in its youth, is comparable in strength to the Sky- Heaven-Splitting Ox. Of course, once the Heaven-Swallowing Hou Heaven-Swallowing Hou Hound grows up, it will be stronger, but... there's no comparison, and the two of them won't really reach the point of a life-or-death battle."
Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. It felt good to be no worse than others, and he immediately grinned.
At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the Heaven-Splitting Ox, clearly indicating that the other party had also seen the Heaven-Swallowing Hou and recognized it.
Yang Zhen and the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable then noticed that there were no fewer than a hundred people standing on the back of the Heaven-Splitting Ox, especially the woman at the head, dressed in purple with gold trim and wearing a phoenix crown. Standing in the crowd, her superior aura seemed innate, making her stand out from the crowd like a crane among chickens.
"This woman has such a powerful aura, she's probably over 1.8 meters tall!"
Yang Zhen muttered to himself, becoming increasingly curious, and stared intently at the young woman.
Even if you lose the fight, you can't lose the battle. Besides, the Heaven-Swallowing Hou has no allies, how could Yang Zhen possibly lose?
Seeing the woman's aura, Yang Zhen laughed heartily, stood up, and with a tremor of his body, tried to exude a bit of domineering presence.
He'd been lazy for so many years, and his domineering aura hadn't materialized; instead, he was feeling a bit uncomfortable from the wind.
Yang Zhen did not have the habit of seeking shelter from the wind.
A man should be like the wind; what's the point of hiding inside a windproof shelter?
At the same time, the woman in the phoenix crown narrowed her eyes and looked at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen grinned and winked at the woman. What domineering aura could compare to the shamelessness of this Sage of Saunter!
