Can't get it working?
Yang Zhen stared blankly at the Death Shadow, his face covered in alpaca-like expressions.
"What do you mean you can't figure it out? Tell me."
Yang Zhen didn't believe there was anything in this world that couldn't be removed. Let alone something that wasn't originally inside the body, even something that was born inside could be removed with current medical technology, and a new one could even be installed.
It's just a mere Technique Talisman, yet this Death Shadow claims he can't create it. Is it because he's not yet convinced, both mentally and physically?
Seeing Yang Zhen's burning gaze, Death Shadow's face immediately darkened. He stared at Yang Zhen and said, "Even though I don't know your true identity and background, I can tell that your origins are extraordinary. Now that we are all in your hands, you can kill us as you please, but you can't create it. Since the Mara Sect invented this kind of Technique Talisman, no one has ever been able to create it."
Yang Zhen looked at the unyielding look in the Death Shadow's eyes with suspicion, and was somewhat inclined to believe that the bastard was telling the truth. But even the truth wouldn't work. With something like this inside his body, the Mara Sect could find it at any time. Wasn't this like having a GPS system on his body, with absolutely no privacy?
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and stared at the Death Shadow, saying, "Your founder, don't look at me like that. You know I'm talking about the guy who invented the Technique Talisman. He's the one who said that. Can't you make it?"
The Death Shadow was startled, then its eyes lit up before dimming again, making Yang Zhen almost slap it.
His gaze was shifting up and down, leaving him feeling awkward and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Death Shadow knew Yang Zhen wasn't very patient, so he didn't keep Yang Zhen waiting too long and hurriedly said, "Our ancestor once said something..."
"What did you say?" Yang Zhen became interested and squatted down to look at the Death Shadow with curiosity.
Death Shadow took a deep breath, looking at Yang Zhen with a hint of schadenfreude, and said, "Our ancestor once said that cultivators who have survived special Heavenly Tribulation have their physical functions altered by heaven and earth, and once such a person possesses an extremely special Spirit Root, they can reach a level where external things cannot invade them."
Yang Zhen exclaimed "Oh my!" and widened her eyes, saying, "What do you mean by that?"
The Death Shadow had almost fully recovered. He stood up, glanced at Yang Zhen, and said, "How would I know? If I did, wouldn't I be able to break the Technique Talisman within your body?"
Yang Zhen, seeing that the old man didn't seem to be a person of exceptional talent, curled his lip upon hearing this, ignored Death Shadow, and sat down on the ground to begin to contemplate the words.
He had experienced special Heavenly Tribulation, and quite a few of them, including the kind of heavenly and earth power that was almost Heavenly Punishment when the young girl defied the heavens and changed her fate. This condition was met.
As for special Spirit Root, Yang Zhen had never found anyone whose Spirit Root were more special than his. With so many S-rank talents, he was simply exceptional. In other words, he had already met all the requirements?
The remaining task is for Yang Zhen to figure out a way to prevent external objects from intruding.
The legendary immunity to all poisons?
That's pretty impressive.
Yang Zhen's mind started working. He had never thought about this kind of problem before. Now, with the Death Shadow opening a door to another world, Yang Zhen closed his eyes and immediately entered a state of enlightenment.
Rumble!
Countless array plates around him began to slowly unleash terrifying power. Although Death Shadow kept saying that some Saint-level array plates were nothing to fear, his actions spoke louder than words. When he saw the Saint-level array plate being activated, he immediately stood still and dared not move.
Since he was already seriously injured, even with the addition of the twenty-four equally injured death servants, they were no match for Yang Zhen. So he simply kept an eye on Yang Zhen amidst the endless arrays and saw what Yang Zhen was up to.
Seeing that the Death Shadow had stopped moving, the remaining twenty-four assassins hurriedly began to heal their wounds on the spot, their eyes fixed on Yang Zhen with flickering gazes.
Gong Sanhe and the other two were even more bewildered. Yang Zhen had actually sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, all while being watched intently by a group of assassins and a Death Shadow. And...
Everyone's eyes widened suddenly, and they exclaimed in unison, "A sudden realization?"
Seeing Yang Zhen enter a state of enlightenment, everyone was shocked and incredulous.
"Elder Gong... Elder Gong, has he... suddenly had an epiphany?" Ding Chun asked, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Gong Sanhe nodded with a stern face, then opened his mouth and said, "Mm!"
That "hmm" was utterly absurd.
Whether Yang Zhen arrogant, conceited, or simply overconfident, he should force himself to resist entering a state of enlightenment. What if he does achieve enlightenment, and the Shadow Warriors fight tooth and Death Shadow to kill Yang Zhen?
Most cultivators who experience sudden enlightenment forget themselves and the world around them, but Yang Zhen is risking his life here; it's utterly absurd.
However, to the surprise of Gong Sanhe and the others, Death Shadow and the others did not seem to want to kill Yang Zhen. Instead, they looked at Yang Zhen with curiosity, as if they wanted to know how to break the Technique Talisman even more than Yang Zhen did.
This gave Gong Sanhe a strange feeling. Before this feeling could develop further, he heard the Death Shadow figure say in a sinister tone, "Boy, don't waste your energy. Although our ancestor said this, the Mara Sect has searched for countless people like this over the years, but none of them have been able to remove the Technique Talisman. This kind of magic Technique Talisman planted at the cost of one's life is simply impossible to remove."
The other Deadpool members also looked at Yang Zhen with regret, shaking their heads and saying, "If we could remove the Technique Talisman, we wouldn't have had to go through all this..."
"Shut up! If the sect leader hears this, neither of us will survive!" Death Shadow Shadow's expression changed, and he gave the Death Servant a low growl.
The other Deadpools immediately fell silent, not daring to utter a single word. Their gazes toward Yang Zhen were filled with longing, but within that longing lay even more sorrow and indifference.
The Death Shadow's expression shifted repeatedly as he stared at Yang Zhen, a look of self-mockery or sarcasm lingering in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Trying to break the Technique Talisman? Impossible! If you can break the Technique Talisman, I'll be at your beck and call for the rest of my life! I'll obey your every command... This... impossible... what is this?"
Upon hearing the Death Shadow's exclamation, everyone's gaze immediately shifted to Yang Zhen.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yang Zhen, who was still in a state of enlightenment with his eyes closed, suddenly stretched as if he had just woken up, leaving everyone dumbfounded and their eyes widening in disbelief.
Buzz--!
A deafening roar emanated from Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, and countless terrifying lightning bolts shot out from his body, displaying the power of heaven and earth in all directions.
Amidst the crackling sounds, Yang Zhen Yang Zhen's aura began to swirl slowly in a strange way, and a series of cracking sounds came from his body, accompanied by a rumbling sound like a tidal wave, causing everyone's expression to change drastically.
"This is... this is the True Form Tide, impossible! How could he possibly enter such a state?"
Gong Sanhe's face flashed with horror as he stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief, seemingly questioning the meaning of life.
Ding Chun, standing to the side, stared blankly and asked in surprise, "What is meant by 'True Form Tide '?"
Gong Sanhe was taken aback, then recovered from his shock and said with endless emotion, " The True Form Tide' is a sound like the tides that arises when one's physical abilities reach a certain level and resonate with the heavens and earth."
"What... does this represent?" Wen Yuning asked softly.
This time, it was Death Shadow who answered, looking at Yang Zhen with excitement, his voice trembling. "This means, it means that this young man... has achieved invulnerability!"
