What does it matter if we betray the people?
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone was stunned. The area around Bone Mountain fell into a deathly silence, with only Yang Zhen's robes fluttering and a burst of earth-shattering, violent power suddenly erupting from the Great Deficiency Sword.
"It's insane! It's insane!" The Shameless Cat paced frantically, while the Flirtatious Chicken stared at Yang Zhen with its mouth agape and head tilted, its eyes flashing with a complex expression.
Mo Xueling and Great Master Su exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes. Their gazes towards Yang Zhen had changed completely.
Dao Fanatic Han Yan'er trembled violently, her eyes sparkling brightly as she stared at Yang Zhen with a tender gaze, murmuring to herself, "For Spirit Maiden Hua, are you really going to betray the world?"
Everyone went crazy, screaming and yelling at Yang Zhen, " Yang Zhen, you bastard, no!"
"Don't destroy Bone Mountain! Damn it, Yang Zhen, if you destroy Bone Mountain, you'll become a sinner to the world, and no one can save you!"
"It's over, Yang Zhen has gone mad. This madman, is he really going to destroy the Heaven and Earth Shackles?"
"I have heard of the Heaven and Earth Shackles. They are restrictions jointly set up by powerful beings from the highest era to resist the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. If Yang Zhen were to destroy them, heaven and earth would likely be doomed!"
"What?" The person who was unaware of what was happening was terrified, their face suddenly contorting into a ferocious expression as they stared intently at Yang Zhen: " Yang Zhen, you dare..."
"Die, you Sage of Saunter!"
Yang Zhen roared, and the Great Deficiency Sword he held high with both hands suddenly burst out with a burst of destructive light. The terrifying Heaven-Ascending Token in mid-air surged and churned, as if the world was about to end, and then dispersed in mid-air, condensing into an enormous world-destroying sword.
boom--!
As Yang Zhen slashed down with his sword, the entire Bone Mountain suddenly exploded, countless bones flew everywhere, the wind and clouds surged, and waves of destructive energy surged out in all directions, blowing everyone present away.
In an instant, the world turned upside down, and the entire Bone Mountain shattered into countless fragments.
The heavens and earth roared in fury, their terrifying power causing a celestial phenomenon that blotted out the sun, like the roar of an ancient ferocious beast, deafeningly loud.
The Saint-level divine soul was greatly shocked, its body even wavering for a moment. It stared in horror at Yang Zhen, who was all alone, disregarding the fate of the world, and destroyed the Bone Mountain with a single sword strike using the terrifying power of the Heaven-Ascending Token.
Rumble--!
Suddenly, the Bone Mountain Great Restriction collapsed, plunging the world into darkness. Amidst the roar, clusters of red mist and clouds swirled and roared, forming a massive vortex in mid-air that seemed to pull the heavens and earth into the void.
Buzz--!
With a soft hum, everything seemed to return to normal. The Bone Mountain was gone, replaced by a valley, where a gentle breeze caressed our faces.
Hua Youyue stood blankly beside the wooden house, like an ordinary woman who had just seen her beloved return home. Exquisite, beautiful, and dressed in snow-white robes, she embodied the best qualities of heaven and earth.
If it weren't for the illusory Saint-level divine soul still around them, everyone would feel as if they had just woken from a dream.
A faint sigh drifted over, and everyone awoke as if from a dream, staring in horror at the Saint-level divine soul.
Yang Zhen lay half-prone on the ground, his hands supporting him on the Great Deficiency Sword, breathing heavily. His body and the ground were covered in blood, but his eyes shone with an unusual light.
Hearing the sigh from the Saint-level Divine Soul, Yang Zhen was slightly taken aback, then looked up with a bewildered expression and said, "Is this still going on? Then... what's next?"
As she spoke, Yang Zhen tried to struggle to get up, but she had no strength left, and her expression changed.
The Saint-level Divine Soul shook its head and said, "So be it. The Bone Mountain Great Restriction has been destroyed, and I no longer have the power to return to my original position. Yang Zhen, you've won, but... this is only the beginning. Hua Youyue... she is, after all, just a fleeting flower!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Yang Zhen with horrified expressions.
This is just the beginning?
In other words, even if a Saint-level divine soul cannot return to its rightful place at this time, the divine soul that has been nurtured will eventually come knocking on its door one day.
A Saint-level divine soul, and a main soul at that; its power and aura are superior to the Saint-level divine soul before us—by one or two times?
Or perhaps... even higher?
Everyone stared blankly at Yang Zhen. This Yang Zhen, who was willing to betray the entire world for Hua Youyue, ultimately couldn't change anything at the Great Saint level?
At this moment, Yang Zhen suddenly smiled. He didn't look at the Saint-level Divine Soul, but instead raised his head and calmly looked at Hua Youyue, saying, "At least I've done it for now. We'll talk about the rest later, okay, little girl?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, staring at Yang Zhen with grim and uncertain expressions.
"Damn it, he destroyed all the Heaven and Earth Shackles, yet he's so calm?"
"We'll talk about the rest later? Once this gets out, there won't be a place for you anywhere in the world. Those Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts will be enough to kill you."
"This is insane! I wonder what changes will occur in the world after the Heaven and Earth Shackles are broken."
Everyone was blaming Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, looking at him with resentment and complicated emotions, as if they were looking at a complete madman.
Yang Zhen could hear the surrounding chatter, but he ignored it completely, not caring at all. He simply looked at Hua Youyue, his gaze becoming increasingly gentle.
At least Hua Youyue was saved, even though he couldn't muster any strength at all.
At this moment, Hua Youyue suddenly smiled, a radiant smile blooming on her face, making the dim world seem a little brighter.
Hua Youyue looked at Yang Zhen, nodded, and slowly said, "I'll take care of the rest!"
Buzz--!
Everyone was taken aback. Hua Youyue made no move, but dazzling rays of light burst forth from behind her, instantly becoming so bright that they blotted out the sky.
"Stop right now! What are you doing?" The Saint-level Divine Soul's expression changed, and he hurriedly said.
Hua Youyue's smile grew brighter and brighter, and her gaze towards Yang Zhen softened more and more.
The surging white light behind them suddenly quieted down, and a delicate flower branch appeared, slowly growing, maturing, and gradually increasing in size.
"Ephemeral Flower!" The Saint-level Divine Soul trembled violently, and its already illusory Divine Soul Body became even more ethereal.
Yang Zhen looked up at Hua Youyue with surprise and asked in confusion, "Little girl, what are you doing?"
Hua Youyue chuckled and said, "A flower's bloom is its entire life; though brief, it will shine brightly for you. You've already done enough."
"Huh?" Yang Zhen looked bewildered. "You want it to bloom?"
"No, you're insane!" the Saint-level divine soul exclaimed hastily, "Once the flower blooms, you'll never be able to return to your original position!"
"Then don't return to your position!" Hua Youyue said without hesitation, "If you hadn't restrained me just now, he wouldn't have been injured."
Yang Zhen suddenly stood up, making a series of crackling sounds as she did so, and let out a comfortable groan, saying, "Alright, little girl, I'm actually fine now!"
Is everything... alright?
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen in astonishment and disbelief. He was supposed to be dying, but he had suddenly become full of energy again.
Is this... is this even human?
Yang Zhen moved his body and was equally surprised. He had never suffered such a serious injury before and hadn't even noticed that his recovery ability was much stronger than Xiao Qiang's.
All attributes are off the charts? Are you kidding me?
Buzz--!
The air was filled with a fragrant aroma that was incredibly enchanting, and everyone's faces lit up with a sense of intoxication.
Hua Youyue smiled radiantly, and behind her, a stunning epiphyllum bloomed!
"I am who I am, Hua Youyue, and there is only one of me in this world!"
