"How is Empress Fengyu?"
Seeing the expression on the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable's face, Yang Zhen hurriedly asked.
The Heavenly Yin Evil Soul is truly bizarre; it's practically a nightmare for even Emperor Realm experts.
Fortunately, not all Emperor Realm experts attract the covetousness of the Heavenly Yin Evil Soul; otherwise, the world would be in chaos.
Yang Zhen didn't know what the Heavenly Yin Evil Soul was, but that didn't stop Yang Zhen from knowing how terrifying it was.
If it weren't for Yang Zhen, she probably would have been easily possessed within the illusion.
To this day, Yang Zhen still doesn't know how Empress Fengyu used the Great Wilderness Heavenly Restriction to seal the Heavenly Yin Evil Soul.
A look of anxiety crossed the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable's face. He pulled Yang Zhen along, and only when they arrived at the edge of the Emperor's Garden did he sigh and say, "Go in and see for yourself!"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, but without wasting any time, he strode into the Emperor's Garden.
Inside the Emperor's Garden, a hunched old woman sat quietly cross-legged, looking like an old lady sunbathing on a blue planet.
"You are... Empress Fengyu?"
Yang Zhen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, her face filled with disbelief.
Oh My God!
What exactly happened?
How could such a stunningly beautiful empress have turned into an old woman?
The old woman opened her eyes, saw Yang Zhen awake, chuckled, and said, "You're back!"
It was the voice of Empress Fengyu.
Yang Zhen's heart sank to the bottom!
Like the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable, Empress Fengyu was a cultivator who had experienced the last Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. In other words, her true age should be similar to that of the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable.
Empress Fengyu, who had always been skilled at preserving her youthful appearance, had become like this. It was unbearable not only physically, but also mentally!
As expected, the hint of disappointment deep in Empress Fengyu's eyes caused Yang Zhen's heart to ache.
Regardless of what kind of person Empress Fengyu is, she changed into this form because of Yang Zhen!
Yang Zhen's face was gloomy. Under the astonished gaze of Empress Fengyu, he reached out and put his hand on Empress Fengyu's shoulder.
Empress Fengyu smiled and said, "No need, it's too late!"
At this point, Empress Fengyu sighed softly and said, " Yang Zhen, don't waste your time on me. I'm just sorry, I can't help the Three Flowers Holy Land anymore. You will have to face the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth on your own."
Yang Zhen was terrified!
He could sense that the power emanating from Empress Fengyu had completely vanished.
In other words, Empress Fengyu has actually Mortal Transformation!
He was forced into Mortal Transformation Mortal Transformation!
An empress, whose power and cultivation have all vanished.
Yang Zhen stared at Empress Fengyu, dumbfounded, and asked, "How could this be?"
Empress Fengyu glanced at Yang Zhen and said, "That's fine too. I can finally let go of my destiny."
"You've let go, but can the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable let go?"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, Empress Fengyu trembled, turned her head, and said softly, "He... should let it go. What he couldn't say before, what he dared not say, is all over now, Yang Zhen..."
At this point, Empress Fengyu's face showed a hint of fear as she stared at Yang Zhen and said, " The Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth and Earth was actually caused by the Gods and Devils. No living being in the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth can escape it. This Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth not be as terrifying as the last one, but it is a remedy for the last one!"
"Make up?"
Yang Zhen was stunned!
The Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth was indeed caused by the Gods and Devils!
If Gods and Devils control all living beings, why would they want to destroy the world?
Why were so many powerful individuals eliminated?
Yang Zhen's mind went blank for a moment.
Heaven and earth are the creators, Gods and Devils are the controllers. Do the controllers want to destroy the creator and all living things created by the creator?
Then what created Gods and Devils?
Yang Zhen was somewhat confused, and even more confused was why Empress Fengyu could talk about things that others dared not even mention.
Empress Fengyu smiled and said, "Aren't you surprised that I didn't suffer the Heavenly Punishment?"
Yang Zhen nodded and removed his hand from Empress Fengyu's body.
Empress Fengyu explained, "Because... the punishment for mortals during the last Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth was negligible..."
What?
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen suddenly felt an urge to curse.
Such a violent black lightning, World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment punishment, would have almost negligible effect on mortals?
How the hell is that possible?
Therefore, Empress Fengyu has no fear of any World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment, because she has now been forced to Mortal Transformation and can no longer incite the lightning punishment of the Principle of Heaven and Earth.
Absurd! There's nothing more absurd than this in the world.
Under what Principle does this world exist?
Empress Fengyu seemed to sense Yang Zhen's doubts. She stood up, glanced deeply in the direction of the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable, and continued, "Anyone who manages to escape the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth has used various methods to Mortal Transformation, or rather... disguise themselves as mortals. Whether it's faking death or reincarnation, these are all unavoidable means, but they are the only means!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen suddenly realized what was going on.
"No, there's another way!"
Empress Fengyu suddenly spoke up, saying, "Refining a world is the best method, but this method has extremely high requirements. It requires the existence of Great Emperor, and this Great Emperor must be able to refine a world that is self-contained and generates its Principle."
The ice coffin of the Holy Maiden Tianxuan, the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda, the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable's Nine Dragons Sacred Coffin, Hua Youyue's reincarnation, and the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness... all buried themselves.
These people survived the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth by various means.
These methods are nothing more than making oneself Mortal Transformation, or temporarily escaping the Principle of Heaven and Earth.
Now that Empress Fengyu has no power left, she has also become less constrained by the Principle of Heaven and Earth, which is why she can say it herself.
but...
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen was still shaken.
Because Empress Fengyu forgot something.
Yang Zhen... is no ordinary person!
Rumble!
In mid-air, a terrifying World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment condensed in an extremely short time.
Wild bolts of black lightning, like raging dragons, swirled and danced in the air above the Three Flowers Holy Land.
Everyone in the Three Flowers Holy Land was startled, their faces filled with panic.
This is World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment!
Only Yang Zhen could withstand it.
But before him, even Great Emperor Aotian showed a pained expression on his face.
Empress Fengyu was startled, her face filled with panic, and she stammered, " Yang Zhen... I..."
After all, he had just Mortal Transformation and hadn't figured out many things yet.
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "It's alright, it's not your fault!"
"No, it's all my fault!" Empress Fengyu shook her head, her expression gloomy, and her life force instantly dropped significantly.
This is...
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and shouted, "I told you, this isn't your fault!"
Empress Fengyu trembled, looking at Yang Zhen and muttering to herself, "But... I am a sinner of the Three Flowers Holy Land. No one here, except you, could have survived. I... I didn't know such a thing would happen."
Yes, Empress Fengyu was forced to Mortal Transformation, so she could say those words, but Yang Zhen couldn't listen!
This is the will of Heaven and Earth!
Seeing that Empress Fengyu's will to live was gradually fading, Yang Zhen suddenly burst into laughter, walked up to Empress Fengyu, patted Empress Fengyu on the shoulder, and said, "I told you, this isn't your fault, and... who said the people of the Three Flowers Holy Land have to die?"
Empress Fengyu was stunned, staring blankly at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen turned around, leaving Empress Fengyu with only his back to her, and looked up at the sky, saying, "Where I am, no one can harm my people, not even the Heavenly Laozi himself!"
boom--!
Yang Zhen leaped into the air and soared into the sky.
A complex expression flickered in Empress Fengyu's eyes. She shook her head and murmured to herself, "But... how can you protect more than 20,000 people?"
