Everyone was astonished to see Yang Zhen uttering such nonsensical words and then suddenly putting away the Star Spring Sword.
Even the two Great Emperor of the Witch Scale Clan were completely bewildered. After exchanging bewildered glances, they exclaimed in horror, "What is he going to do?"
The middle-aged Great Emperor shook his head with a puzzled look on his face and said, "I don't know, but I've heard that Yang Zhen is always mysterious and eccentric, often capable of what others cannot."
The other Great Emperor was startled and hurriedly said, "Even if a person can do something that a human cannot, one cannot withstand the Heavenly Punishment head-on! It seems that he intends to use his physical body to resist the Heavenly Punishment. This... this is simply wishful thinking. Even no one could do such a thing."
A strange smile flashed across the middle-aged Great Emperor's face as he looked at the old man and said, "Isn't this exactly what we wanted? It would be best if he just died inside; that way, it would save us a lot of trouble."
The old man snorted coldly, staring at Yang Zhen in mid-air, and said, "That's true, but I do find it a bit of a pity. I wanted to subdue him and ask him some questions."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged Great Emperor looked surprised, shook his head, and said, "I think you'd better not hold such thoughts."
"Why?"
The old man's expression was strange.
Who is Yang Zhen?
Over the years, he can be considered the most talented person. From any perspective, Yang Zhen is absolutely a brilliant talent, almost comparable to that person back then, and in some ways, he is even very similar to that person.
Such a person is almost destined to be rejected by Heaven and Earth Rejection; if God wants to take him away, almost no one can protect him.
Yet, this same person is far too important to many people.
Why is he unacceptable to Heaven and Earth Rejection?
With such extraordinary talent, is it possible that he possesses powers that others cannot?
This is beyond doubt. Given the methods of the Witch Scale Clan, it wouldn't be difficult for them to find out that Yang Zhen had mastered the Power of the Void and the Power of Faith.
Although Yang Zhen is still unable to use the Power of Faith correctly, he is still a genuine existence.
The Power of Faith, the Power of the Void —these two powers are practically Divine Power. Who knows if Yang Zhen might one day, by some fortuitous opportunity, master Divine Technique?
That's the power of the War God and even gods Gods and Devils.
Damn it, just thinking about it makes your mouth water, doesn't it?
A greedy glint appeared on the old man's face as he stared at Yang Zhen and said, "No, no matter what, I must try. My clan has been searching for him for so many years, and Yang Zhen is right in front of us. Those old fogies in the clan didn't take him seriously because they don't know how strange Yang Zhen is. If we can thoroughly understand Yang Zhen, why are we still studying those good-for-nothings, the Descendants of Gods and Devils?"
Sure enough, upon hearing the old man's words, the middle-aged Great Emperor also showed a thoughtful expression. He stared at Yang Zhen, then looked at the old man, and asked hesitantly, "Do you think there really are mortals in this world who possess Divine Power power?"
"Isn't Yang Zhen one?" the old man snorted.
The middle-aged Great Emperor took a deep breath and said, "So, the legends of the Witch Scale Clan are very likely true?"
Upon hearing the legend of the Witch Scale Clan, the old man's expression changed drastically. He gave the middle-aged Great Emperor a deep look, nodded, and said, "Very likely. In any case, even if we have to use Power of Taboo, we must detain Yang Zhen."
The middle-aged Great Emperor nodded, looking solemnly at Yang Zhen in mid-air.
At this moment, Yang Zhen had completely put away the Star Spring Sword.
They must not be executed! These Heavenly Punishment must not be slain!
It would be a great pity to kill it, because Yang Zhen suddenly sensed that there was a power inside that was similar to the Heaven and Earth Origin.
However, this Heaven and Earth Origin is not a will imposed by heaven and earth on all living beings, but a purest form of energy of heaven and earth.
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the first Heavenly Punishment had already arrived above Yang Zhen's head.
Everyone was horrified. Before they could even cry out, the terrifying Heavenly Punishment had already swallowed Yang Zhen up.
This was the first time, aside from the Heavenly Punishment he had severed, that Yang Zhen had truly withstood Heavenly Punishment without using any of his own power, relying solely on his physical body.
boom--!
Almost as soon as he was swallowed up, Yang Zhen felt a tearing pain. He was thrown to the ground like a cannonball, creating a large crater that emitted black smoke.
Countless people gasped in surprise, because their necks cracked and popped as they were suddenly brought down from their heads which had been held up for so long.
But at a time like this, nobody cares about that; everyone is staring blankly at the dark, gaping hole.
That bastard Yang Zhen actually withstood a Heavenly Punishment with his bare body?
The middle-aged Great Emperor and the old man were even more astonished, especially the middle-aged Great Emperor, whose expression shifted as he asked, "Shall we make our move now?"
The old man shook his head with a strange expression and said, "Let's take another look!"
The middle-aged Great Emperor nodded, but before he could speak, Yang Zhen's hearty laughter echoed from the pit.
"Damn, that was good, really good! But I'm still a little hungry. Bring a couple more dishes this time, don't just bring them one by one. Everyone's time is precious, let's not waste it."
Buzz--!
A loud roar came from the pit, and Yang Zhen's figure... crawled out of the pit.
Yes, it crawled out, using both its hands and feet.
Yang Zhen, covered in black soot, had hair that looked like it was about to explode, and his clothes were full of holes, some of which were still smoking.
Yang Zhen had no choice; at a time like this, wouldn't a stunningly handsome entrance be much better?
But it hurts.
Despite the pain, Yang Zhen did obtain a trace of the Heaven and Earth Origin.
This is not the will of heaven Opening Heaven, but the most primal Power of Creation at the beginning of creation.
Despite being in excruciating pain, Yang Zhen couldn't help but burst into laughter, staring at the air like a starving ghost eyeing a delicious feast.
Damn, there's such pure power in this world that no one has discovered yet. If this Sage of Saunter were to collect more of this power, then the Power of the Void and the Power of Faith would all be mere child's play.
Yang Zhen had a feeling that if he fully mastered this Power of Creation, even Gods and Devils would be nothing but trash.
Does this Sage of Saunter possess the potential to become a creator god?
Hmm, that's very likely.
Yang Zhen nodded to himself, glanced at the bewildered crowd around him, and then leaped into the air with a thud.
"Let's go again! Anyone who doesn't play is a coward!"
Yang Zhen burst into laughter, but a commotion erupted in mid-air.
The Will of Heaven and Earth, having been so provoked, could not let it go unpunished. It unleashed ten Heavenly Punishment, illuminating the Three Flowers Holy Land almost instantly.
"Damn it, is this brat looking for death?" The middle-aged Great Emperor's face showed a hint of horror. He trembled and was about to leap up when the old man pulled him back.
"Wait a little longer!"
"Wait a little longer?" The middle-aged Great Emperor glared and said irritably, "Ten Heavenly Punishment! If we wait any longer, Yang Zhen won't... damn it!"
boom--!
What does it mean to be struck by ten Heavenly Punishment?
Let alone an Emperor Realm, even Great Emperor Realm Stage would have to kneel down, with black earth rising and blue smoke billowing from it!
Yang Zhen also collapsed, his entire body looking as if it had been scorched for tens of thousands of years, with not a single unscathed spot. Seeing Yang Zhen lying on the ground without any breath, everyone gasped.
"Look, look, it's gone, isn't it?" the middle-aged Great Emperor said, pointing at Yang Zhen.
The old man snorted and scolded, "Take a closer look."
The middle-aged Great Emperor was stunned, his face suddenly showing a look of horror. "A narrow escape from death, just how strong is this kid's destiny?"
