The two talked for a long time, Qin Luoyi recounted almost everything she had experienced since childhood.
To Yang Zhen's surprise, Qin Luoyi had been rebellious since childhood, but this rebellion had been deeply suppressed by Emperor Su's teachings. Now, Yang Zhen had completely ignited it.
During the time that Emperor Su was asleep, Qin Luoyi even considered disbanding Emperor Su Palace.
Everyone knows that the Emperor Su Palace is secluded and mysterious, but little do they know that this reclusiveness makes Qin Luoyi feel isolated from the world, which is very depressing.
When she got emotional, Qin Luoyi looked at Yang Zhen Yang Zhen a beaming smile, as if she wanted to devour him whole.
"What... what are you going to do?"
Yang Zhen instinctively took two steps back.
Now, Qin Luoyi has inexplicably acquired the Saint Physique, and that terrifying power is making Yang Zhen feel somewhat overwhelmed.
Seeing the expression on Qin Luoyi's face, Yang Zhen felt a shiver run down his spine.
The next second, Qin Luoyi pressed Yang Zhen to the ground once again.
Half an hour later, Qin Luoyi stood up with a satisfied look on her face. Looking at the vast, dimly lit world, she asked, "Tell me, how glorious was this place once?"
Yang Zhen lowered her head and put on her clothes.
He didn't know how glorious this place had once been. But as the saying goes, "Once you've seen the ocean, you can't be satisfied with a river." Even the most glorious place has now become so dilapidated. Countless powerful cultivators at the Emperor Realm and Saint Venerable Realm have died here. Yang Zhen and his companion had only explored less than one-tenth of the area.
If this continues, where will we find the Ancient Water of Life's Origin?
Just as Yang Zhen looked around in confusion, a buzzing sound suddenly came from not far away, as if some kind of restriction had been triggered.
" The Great Emperor Aotian?"
A hint of joy appeared on Yang Zhen's face.
There are probably no living people left here; it's mostly ferocious beasts and undead creatures. Those that can survive in such a murky environment are no ordinary beings.
Qin Luoyi also heard the buzzing sound, and a look of curiosity appeared on her face. She said, "Shall we go take a look?"
The two hit it off immediately, and Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
This woman, when she gets carried away, really doesn't care about the occasion. Yang Zhen suspects that if the two of them stay alone together any longer, Yang Zhen might not be able to leave this awful place.
Not far away, mountains swirled, and a hazy, chaotic aura enveloped the world, so much so that even Yang Zhen's soul could not penetrate it.
After the two arrived nearby, they looked at each other and suddenly felt a jolt in their hearts.
That calling sensation returned, this time deep within the endless mountains.
Yang Zhen was taken aback.
Could the calls I heard from those corpses just now have been a hallucination?
This time it was unusually obvious, and Yang Zhen subconsciously walked inside.
Qin Luoyi quickly grabbed Yang Zhen and asked, "Be careful."
Yang Zhen patted Qin Luoyi's hand and said, "I have a feeling that the Ancient Water of Life's Origin I'm looking for is inside!"
Qin Luoyi was taken aback, then said with delight, "You can sense it? Then let's hurry inside to find the Ancient Water of Life's Origin; I don't really like this place."
Yang Zhen nodded and stepped into the chaotic air currents.
The next moment, Yang Zhen's body seemed to be pulled by some force, and he entered another world.
Qin Luoyi followed closely behind Yang Zhen Yang Zhen and almost bumped into him when she entered.
Looking through Yang Zhen's body, Qin Luoyi exclaimed in surprise.
A series of terrifying altars lay scattered before the two of them.
These altars were enormous, each measuring a hundred meters in size.
There were countless altars, probably over a thousand.
To their shock, each altar was covered with a huge corpse floating on it.
These corpses included human corpses, though they were generally larger than those of the current cultivators, as well as the corpses of ferocious beasts, which were lifelike and seemed to be asleep.
Yang Zhen gasped, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, and muttered to himself, "Damn it, who's causing trouble here?"
"What... are these?" Qin Luoyi asked curiously.
Yang Zhen's face flickered with surprise and uncertainty as he said, "If I'm not mistaken, these altars have an extremely legendary name... Heaven-Shattering!"
" Heaven-Shocking Altar!" Qin Luoyi exclaimed, her face pale. "Legend has it that the Heaven-Shocking Altar is a tool of Gods and Devils, used to shift the stars and refine all living beings. It's an extremely cruel method. How... how can there be so many here?"
"Yes!"
Yang Zhen nodded and took a deep breath.
The Heaven-Shocking Altar is a method used by Gods and Devils, and an extremely cruel one at that. It was used by some elder cultivators to shock the world.
Legend has it that in High Antiquity times, Gods and Devils controlled all living beings. Whenever there was chaos among the people, they would descend upon Heaven-Shocking Altar to refine the entire race!
That's right, it's about refining the entire clan; it's a method of annihilation!
Seeing so many terrifying altars, Yang Zhen couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
What crime has this race committed to deserve tens of thousands of years of suffering here?
The terrifying aspect of the Heaven-Shocking Altar lies in its inability to be reborn after death and its incorruptible physical body.
In other words, any race that was subjected to the Heaven-Shocking Altar was completely wiped out from the world.
Even Gods and Devils wouldn't easily unleash such terrifying methods to punish the world!
Yang Zhen turned to look at Qin Luoyi. Qin Luoyi's face was pale, and her beautiful face had lost all color. Her body was trembling incessantly.
Seeing this, Yang Zhen pulled Qin Luoyi to his side and said, "That's all in the past, don't be afraid!"
Qin Luoyi shook her head and said, "I'm not scared!"
"Not scared?" Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked, "Then what is it...?"
Qin Luoyi looked at Yang Zhen with excitement, and after a long while, she finally spoke, "I'm thinking about what you want to do..."
Hey, miss, can you not drive so directly?
Yang Zhen was speechless for a moment, then his whole body trembled, and he asked in surprise, "You also want to blow up these altars?"
"Fry?"
Upon hearing this word, Qin Luoyi's eyes practically lit up.
" Yang Zhen, are we... are we really going to defy the will of the Gods and Devils?"
The will of Heaven cannot be defied; this is the understanding of all beings in the Cultivation World.
Below this lies the will of Gods and Devils.
Gods and Devils control all living beings. Throughout history, the mere mention of Gods and Devils has instilled fear in everyone.
Looking at so many Heaven-Shocking Altar before him, even Yang Zhen felt a sense of dread. This was the will left behind by the Gods and Devils, which had endured for a long time!
But who is Yang Zhen?
In some ways, Yang Zhen a paranoid madman. The more impossible or impossible something is, the more Yang Zhen wants to do it.
Now, Qin Luoyi has been added to the list.
They looked at each other for a moment, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.
"What bullshit about the will of gods Gods and Devils? This Sage of Saunter can do whatever he wants! Come on, let's blow up these altars!"
Yang Zhen's words completely reignited Qin Luoyi's rebellious spirit.
Following behind Yang Zhen, Qin Luoyi stared intently at Yang Zhen's back, looking just like a legendary little fangirl.
When the two arrived near the Heaven-Shocking Altar, a terrifying will pressed down on them, making it difficult to breathe.
Yang Zhen grinned, looked up at the sky, and said, " Gods and Devils? This Sage of Saunter has never seen them before!"
boom--!
A bolt of black lightning descended from the sky and landed at the feet of Yang Zhen and Qin Luoyi.
