Yang Zhen spoke without the slightest hesitation, almost immediately following Celestial Venerable Ziwei's words, his voice loud and his attitude arrogant.
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen in shock. Even though Yang Zhen dared to curse Ziwei Tiandi so vehemently, it wasn't unacceptable to the crowd. After all, there were still many arrogant people in this world. Even the Heavenly Venerable was somewhat impatient with the scrutiny. It could only be said that Yang Zhen was a man who did things his own way, was not afraid of authority, and was even so arrogant that he didn't even put the Heavenly Venerable in his eyes.
But at this moment, everyone felt a chill run down their spines because of Yang Zhen's words. "Even the heavens have been pierced!"
Mo Xueling's expression suddenly flashed with disbelief. Her pair of sapphire blue-green eyes flickered with surprise and uncertainty, and her cherry lips parted slightly in astonishment. Even though Yang Zhen's words were firm and powerful, she still felt as if she had misheard.
Yang Zhen not only dared to curse the Heavenly Venerable, but he even cursed the Azure Heaven!
Rumble!
Beyond the terrifying energy explosion of the Snake Road, a violent storm of thunderclouds had somehow gathered in mid-air, and streams of righteous energy from heaven and earth descended from the sky, enveloping everyone almost instantly.
Even the Celestial Venerable Ziwei let out a soft exclamation and slowly revealed his form outside the wooden house.
Upon seeing the figure of Celestial Venerable Ziwei, everyone gasped and subconsciously took two steps back, staring in astonishment and uncertainty at the dreamlike figure before them.
The Celestial Venerable Ziwei appeared quite young, not yet fifty years old. His cold and stern face exuded an imposing aura, even a hint of an unquestionable imperial presence. He glanced up at the raging thunderclouds in the sky, then turned to Yang Zhen and said, "What an arrogant brat! Do you know that your boastful words have already displeased the heavens?"
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "I've already displeased the heavens more than once, so I don't care about this one. But you, why are you scanning around like that? So what if you have powerful Divine Sense?"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone forcibly suppressed the urge to rush forward and cover Yang Zhen's mouth.
Damn it, Yang Zhen is really courting death to talk to a Heavenly Venerable like that.
Among the crowd, only Hua Youyue glanced quietly at Celestial Venerable Ziwei, said nothing, and slowly left Mo Xueling, coming to Yang Zhen's side.
At this moment, his heart is clear!
Celestial Venerable Ziwei glanced at Hua Youyue with surprise, then said with a smile, "I remember you, little girl. You were the peerless genius of the Spirit Road back then. I didn't expect you to have recovered to such a degree."
Yang Zhen was taken aback, glanced at Hua Youyue with surprise, and felt a strange premonition.
Even if Hua Youyue was unparalleled on the Spirit Road, she shouldn't have attracted the attention of the Celestial Venerable Ziwei. More importantly, it seems that the Celestial Venerable Ziwei was not awake five years ago.
Seemingly sensing Yang Zhen's confusion, Hua Youyue took Yang Zhen's hand and said softly to Celestial Venerable Ziwei, "I said back then that I would come again."
Celestial Venerable Ziwei laughed heartily and nodded, saying, "I have been waiting for you, but... what has your decision been?"
"Consider?" Yang Zhen was taken aback, then looked at Hua Youyue and said, "Consider what? Don't consider anything. I think this old geezer is wicked; what good could he possibly want?"
Hua Youyue smiled, about to speak, when a cold snort rang out. Celestial Venerable Ziwei looked down at Yang Zhen and said, "Boy, don't think you can be so arrogant just because you have some talent. In front of me, you have no right to speak."
Yang Zhen laughed heartily and said, "Whether you have the right to speak isn't up to you to decide. Do you want to give it a try?"
" Yang Zhen!" Hua Youyue's expression froze, and she hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "Young lady, this has nothing to do with you anymore. It's a matter between me and this old man."
As he spoke, Yang Zhen stared at Celestial Venerable Ziwei, took a deep breath, and said, "It's not your fault for taking advantage of your age, and respecting the elderly and caring for the young is also my virtue, but... damn it, what were you trying to do just now? Just because someone's cultivation is low, does that mean they deserve to be done to as you powerful people? If this Sage of Saunter didn't have some skills, wouldn't you have seen through everything inside and out?"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone present gasped, their expressions filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Aleida, in particular, looked at Yang Zhen with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.
When Ziwei's Divine Sense swept over them just now, everyone felt as if a gentle breeze was brushing against their faces. It was only for a moment. Although they felt a little uncomfortable, such a powerful figure was just scrutinizing them and had no ill intentions, so everyone accepted it as a matter of course.
However, it is not easy to see through a person. Even for a powerful cultivator like the Celestial Venerable Ziwei, seeing through a person would cause that person unbearable pain.
This is a painful process of Divine Sense separation. If the soul becomes even slightly unstable, it will lead to utter ruin. At best, it will damage the mind and turn the person into an idiot; at worst, the soul will explode, resulting in death and the dissipation of one's spiritual essence.
No one expected that Yang Zhen, who was just a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm stage, had endured such a painful process.
For a moment, all the gazes directed at Celestial Venerable Ziwei became somewhat strange, and within that strangeness was also a hint of horror. Heavenly Venerable powerhouse could truly manipulate them, cultivators who were only at the Spirit Wandering Realm, at will. However, no one expected that Yang Zhen would be able to withstand the pain of his Divine Sense being separated.
Mo Xueling looked at Yang Zhen with a surprised expression, her gem-like eyes sparkling with astonishment, seemingly lost in thought.
Celestial Venerable Ziwei laughed heartily, emanating waves of righteous aura. Staring at Yang Zhen, the terrifying Divine Sense that had vanished moments before reappeared. He slowly said, "Boy, your blatant disrespect towards me today would have been enough for me to kill you several times over. The reason I didn't..."
Yang Zhen spat, and a violent surge of Divine Sense power erupted from his body. He sneered, "The reason you didn't do that is because you weren't confident you could kill this Sage of Saunter, isn't that right?"
What?
Everyone was horrified and retreated. Even Shan Yang in the Snake Road changed his expression and ran back. In the blink of an eye, he was back beside Mo Xueling, looking at the confrontation between Yang Zhen and Celestial Venerable Ziwei with a look of astonishment.
Celestial Venerable Ziwei was taken aback, then burst into laughter. With a wave of his hand, the world suddenly changed color, and waves of violent energy rushed toward Yang Zhen. The Divine Sense spear in mid-air suddenly swelled in the wind and transformed into three spears.
"Joke!"
Amidst the changing colors of the sky and the surging, violent air currents, everyone was terrified by this terrifying Divine Sense phenomenon, staring at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
Despite facing such a terrifying Heavenly Venerable expert, Yang Zhen remained completely undaunted and was even able to confront him!
Hua Youyue frowned and said to Yang Zhen, "Be careful!"
Yang Zhen gave Hua Youyue a deep look, feeling that something was amiss. Facing Heavenly Venerable with such terrifying cultivation, Hua Youyue remained completely fearless. What was she hiding?
However, to find out what exactly happened five years ago and what secrets Hua Youyue holds, Yang Zhen must withstand this attack of Divine Sense.
Amidst everyone's astonished and uncertain gazes, Yang Zhen suddenly advanced instead of retreating, taking a step forward and unleashing an aura of unparalleled power.
boom--!
Amidst the terrifying surging air currents, everyone was shocked to discover that Yang Zhen Void Refinement Realm Refining stage, could actually unleash such a violent aura!
The surging Divine Sense swept in like a vast ocean, soaring into the sky in the blink of an eye—a truly terrifying sight!
At the same time, Yang Zhen pulled his hands in front of him, and an inscription radiating a terrifying golden light appeared in everyone's sight.
" Gen Metal True Rune!" Mo Xueling exclaimed, her eyes flashing as she looked at Yang Zhen!
