Seeing that Yang Zhen had actually managed to pry the Fortune Stalagmite Shoot off, everyone was startled. They forgot about cursing Yang Zhen and hurriedly rushed out, even faster than when they came.
What a joke! Even without the grand scheme laid out by the Great Saint Tianti, if Yang Zhen had destroyed the Land of Extreme Cold, the ice cave would have undergone earth-shattering changes, and might even have ceased to exist.
Although the Great Saint Tianti relies on the ice cave and is arranged according to the power of heaven and earth, once the Land of Extreme Cold is destroyed, it will no longer be a force of plunder, but a force of slaughter.
roar--!
The Great Saint Tianti suddenly roared, and a monstrous wave of energy erupted from his body. As the black waves rolled, they actually burst into flames. A cultivator in the Spirit Wandering Realm who had accidentally rushed next to him was burned to ashes before he could even react, and the ashes were scattered everywhere by the black energy wave.
Countless people panicked, and even Palace Master Liu and Peak Master Mo disregarded everything else and rushed outside.
"That bastard Yang Zhen actually destroyed the Frozen Land."
"What is he doing with those Fortune Stalagmite? Has his soul been injured?"
"Even if his soul is injured, with his current cultivation level, he cannot withstand the terrifying energy of the Fortune Stalagmite. Isn't this courting death?"
Upon hearing that Yang Zhen's soul was injured, Mo Xueling, who was running wildly, was shaken and turned to look at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen's soul was injured when he helped Hua Youyue defy fate, but afterwards, there was no trace of it on Yang Zhen, and even Mo Xueling had almost forgotten about it.
Seeing Yang Zhen taking the Fortune Stalagmite, Mo Xueling remembered this matter.
boom--!
A monstrous wave of icy energy erupted from Yang Zhen's body. When Mo Xueling looked over, the Fortune Stalagmite in Yang Zhen's hand had vanished.
Mo Xueling was startled and exclaimed in horror, "That bastard, he actually ate the Fortune Stalagmite just like that?"
Upon hearing this, Palace Master Liu and Peak Master Mo, who were running wildly ahead, both stumbled and turned around in surprise.
Sure enough, Yang Zhen's aura surged, and waves of icy energy rose into the sky. A layer of cold mist condensed around him, and he looked as if he was about to be frozen into an ice block.
"You all leave!" Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
Han Yan'er shuddered, gave Yang Zhen a strange look, and was pulled away by Hua Youyue.
"Are you crazy? Yang Zhen will die!" Han Yan'er glared at Hua Youyue.
Hua Youyue gave Yang Zhen a deep look, then shook her head and said, "No, he won't die!"
"Even if he doesn't die, what about the Great Saint Tianti?" Han Yan'er tried to break free, but suddenly her expression froze. Looking at Hua Youyue's worried yet determined gaze, she asked in surprise, "You..."
Hua Youyue smiled and said, "I'm also worried about him, but with our current cultivation levels, we'll only be a burden to him here."
Han Yan'er shuddered, muttering to herself, "A burden?"
As she spoke, Han Yan'er turned and glanced at Yang Zhen, then gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go!"
Hua Youyue nodded, but after retreating to the Land of Extreme Cold, she stopped.
Han Yan'er was taken aback. "Weren't you leaving?"
Hua Youyue took a deep breath, glanced at Han Yan'er, and said, "Wait for him!"
The two rascals, the Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken, had long since disappeared, but now they were howling and howling in the distance. For some reason, they've come back.
Han Yan'er glared at the two spineless fellows and snapped, "What are you doing back here?"
The Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken exchanged a glance, Shameless Cat said with a shifty look, "There's no way out!"
roar--!
The Great Saint Tianti roared again. Although he was covered in wounds, his aura grew stronger and stronger. Black mist surged from all directions, and the longer it went on, the heavier the aura around him became.
In comparison, the terrifying chill emanating from Yang Zhen was equally terrifying, with towering waves of icy energy rising into the sky, vying with the black flames erupting from the Great Saint Tianti.
The Great Saint Tianti roared, his eyes filled with chaos as he stared intently at Yang Zhen, clearly regarding Yang Zhen as the greatest threat.
Facing the gaze of the Great Saint Tianti, Yang Zhen felt like cursing.
"Damn Sage of Saunter, I'm just eating some fruit, why are you staring at me like that? I'll beat you up, you believe me?"
Hearing Yang Zhen's arrogant attitude at this moment, all the cultivators who were running slowly were startled. They stopped running and turned around to look at Yang Zhen with blank expressions.
The Fortune Stalagmite melted in his mouth, and there was no phenomenon as Yang Zhen had imagined, where they would freeze him into an ice ball.
However, Yang Zhen's body could hardly withstand it. Almost the instant the Fortune Stalagmite entered his abdomen, his internal organs were frozen solid.
A surge of violent power erupted, and Yang Zhen's spiritual power suddenly became violent, like a wild dragon that had broken free of its reins, rushing towards the internal organs and icy cavalry within his body.
Rumble--!
A series of Opening Heaven roars resounded, and Yang Zhen's body seemed to become its own world. The chaotic and ethereal cold energy attached itself to his divine soul power in an extremely violent manner, and for a moment, the terrifying icy aura actually burned fiercely.
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen and the Great Saint Tianti with suspicion and disbelief, their faces filled with horror.
Endless black flames gathered around the Great Saint Tianti, while the ice on Yang Zhen's body... melted!
A raging blue flame erupted from Yang Zhen's body, and the terrifying spiritual power seemed to materialize, instantly filling the entire icy land.
"It's so hot!" Yang Zhen ripped off his clothes and, to everyone's astonishment, brandished his Great Deficiency Sword and charged towards the Great Saint Tianti.
"Has Yang Zhen gone mad?!"
"This... is unbelievable. Yang Zhen actually intends to fight the Great Saint Tianti's clone all by himself?"
"He's courting death! Even the Great Saint Tianti, whom many predecessors couldn't defeat, is now even more terrifying with the help of the Heaven and Earth Grand Array. How dare Yang Zhen think he can fight the Great Saint Tianti all by himself?"
Everyone was stunned by Yang Zhen's actions, staring at Yang Zhen blankly.
The Shameless Cat suddenly let out a cry of "Ouch!" and jumped up excitedly.
"I see!"
Hua Youyue's expression changed, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
The Shameless Cat chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, we should thank this Great Saint Tianti. He just had the misfortune of leaving a mindless clone here, so Yang Zhen doesn't have to die now!"
Han Yan'er glared at him and scolded, "Stop beating around the bush! Why doesn't Yang Zhen have to die? Even if he can withstand the Fortune Stalagmite, how could he possibly be a match for the Great Saint Tianti?"
The Shameless Cat curled its lip. "Do you know why this ice bamboo shoot is called 'Creation'?"
Hua Youyue was shocked and said in surprise, "You mean... this is a stroke of good fortune for Yang Zhen?"
" The Fortune Stalagmite are a stroke of incredible luck!" The Shameless Cat shook its head, almost excitedly saying, "Damn it, I never believed in this cause and effect, this creation, before, but now I see it's actually true!"
Before Han Yan'er could glare at him again, the Shameless Cat hurriedly explained, "If Yang Zhen were to rashly swallow the Fortune Stalagmite, with his current cultivation level, he would undoubtedly die, no matter how heaven-defying his talent. That's the rule!"
Upon hearing the word "rules," both Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er's expressions changed simultaneously.
"But that's the wonderful thing!" The Shameless Cat danced around. "How infuriating! Yang Zhen is indeed a person with great fortune. The violent power within him has nowhere to go, which can only make him shattered or even his soul scattered."
Great Saint Tianti has arrived, although the power brought by this celestial array is immense, the clash between the two has actually managed to perfectly deplete the excess energy within Yang Zhen's body. Now, as long as Yang Zhen can hold on, he can not only repair his soul but also advance further. As for what changes will occur, that is up to fate!
