A fight broke out.
In the blink of an eye, the moment humans and Demon Race made contact, a fight broke out.
Yang Zhen looked at the seemingly unsurprised Shameless Cat and asked in confusion, "You don't seem surprised at all?"
The Shameless Cat scoffed and said, "What's so surprising about that? The feud between human cultivators and Demon Race has been going on for tens of thousands of years. How can it be resolved by being sealed away for twenty thousand years?"
"Didn't they say that many Demon Race wanted to find a secluded paradise to live a peaceful life? Could it be that even that couldn't overcome this long-standing feud?"
The Shameless Cat shook its head and said, "Sometimes, even if all the Demon Race want to live a peaceful life, human cultivators won't let them have their way. Whether the Demon Race' re-emergence this time is good or bad is still uncertain."
Yang Zhen was unaware of the feud between humans and Demon Race, and wasn't particularly interested in it, so he was only slightly surprised before letting it go.
Finding the Flirtatious Chicken the most important thing now. Yang Zhen has a strong feeling that the Flirtatious Chicken is somewhere in these High Antiquity Ruins.
"Go, hurry up! That Flirtatious Chicken doesn't speak clearly; we don't want him to be mistaken for Demon Beast and killed."
Yang Zhen turned his gaze away from mid-air and waved to the Shameless Cat.
The Shameless Cat chuckled and said, "Don't worry, that Shameless Cat is incredibly tough. Even if all those Demon Race die, it won't."
"Why?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback; this was unexpected. The Flirtatious Chicken didn't seem particularly strong; it was just like the Shameless Cat, with a relatively tough body.
In such a chaotic battle, simply having a tough body is not enough to save one's life. The air was filled with the sounds of fighting, and wounded humans or Demon Race fell from the sky from time to time.
Yang Zhen shook his head, thinking, "What's the big deal? Why does it have to be a fight to the death?"
The two searched the battlefield for nearly two hours, but as more and more humans and Demon Race joined the fight, Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat were driven to desperation.
"Damn it, there's fighting everywhere, kid. Are you sure you can find Flirtatious Chicken in this situation?"
The Shameless Cat perched on Yang Zhen's shoulder and asked listlessly.
Yang Zhen didn't answer the Shameless Cat's question, but instead frowned and said, " Shameless Cat, don't you feel like something's not quite right?"
The Shameless Cat was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yang Zhen kicked a wounded wolf-eared Demon Race aside, then pointed with a strange expression to a peculiar cave in a mountain hollow and said, "These humans seem to be attacking a place."
The Shameless Cat opened its eyes and looked in the direction Yang Zhen pointed. It was stunned for a moment, then its face lit up with joy as it exclaimed, "Quick, quick, go there! Damn it, I remember now, that's the place where the Demon Race's heritage is passed down!"
"The inheritance of the Demon Race?" Yang Zhen was taken aback. "What would humans want with the inheritance of the Demon Race?"
The Shameless Cat cackled and said, "Kid, the Demon Race's heritage isn't necessarily exclusive to the Demon Race; it's just something the Demon Race guards. Did you see that beam of light? If I remember correctly, that's the light emanating from the Heart of Dawn."
"What's going on?" Yang Zhen looked at the beam of light shooting straight into the sky. Countless Demon Race warriors were fighting desperately to protect it, while countless human cultivators were frantically attacking that place.
" The Heart of Dawn, this must be the location of the Beiqi Demon Race. They have guarded the Heart of Dawn for generations, yet not a single member of their Demon Race has been able to obtain this inheritance. Do you know why?"
Yang Zhen had no idea why this was happening. He slapped the Shameless Cat and said, "Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up if you have something to say."
The Shameless Cat chuckled and said, "Legend has it that the Heart of Dawn is a kind of Heart of Heaven and Earth obtained by the Great Emperor Dawn. He comprehended the Heavenly Dao in the land of the Demon Race race, so it can be said to belong to the Demon Race race. However, few people know that the Great Emperor Dawn was actually a human."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen's eyes widened in surprise, and he said, "A human Great Emperor can comprehend the things of the Demon Race?"
The Shameless Cat clicked its tongue and said, "How novel! Legend has it that in ancient times, humans were merely a branch of the Demon Race. Strictly speaking, the Demon Race was the original ruler of this world. It's just that over many years of evolution, humans have developed a set of traditions distinct from those of the Demon Race race."
Yang Zhen only half understood what he was hearing, and subconsciously asked, "What exactly is the Heart of Dawn?"
While urging Yang Zhen to hurry up, the Shameless Cat explained, " The Heart of Dawn is merely something that the Great Emperor Dawn comprehended. In reality, its name should be the Heart of Heaven and Earth and Earth. Legend has it that whoever obtains the Heart of Heaven and Earth will become Child of Heaven and Earth, not only becoming Heaven-Favored Person with greatly increased fortune, but also gaining a better understanding of Heaven and Earth. The Great Emperor Dawn was the only cultivator to break through to the Emperor Realm."
Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm?
Yang Zhen was genuinely surprised this time.
"After breaking through to the Emperor Realm, what realm awaits? Immortality or ascension?"
The Shameless Cat was taken aback by this, then said irritably, "How would I know whether breaking through to the Emperor Realm means immortality or ascension? I might just kick the bucket."
"So many people want the Heart of Dawn?" Yang Zhen scoffed.
Clearly, after the Great Emperor Dawn broke through to the Heaven Realm, he did not leave behind any legends. Let alone being legendary, no one can even confirm whether he is still alive.
The Shameless Cat curled its lip and said, "Although the Great Emperor Dawn eventually disappeared, he was the only one who could rival that guy, all thanks to the Heart of Dawn. Now you understand the importance of the Heart of Dawn, right?"
Fight that guy!
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen's heart skipped a beat.
Although the Shameless Cat didn't explicitly say who this guy was, Yang Zhen knew in his heart that the Shameless Cat was talking about none other than the guy who single-handedly slashed through 360 Heavenly Tribulation with his sword.
That guy is the most arrogant person in the existing legends. With the potential of Great Emperor, he withstood three hundred and sixty heavenly Heavenly Tribulation. Such a feat is something that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of, let alone have actually done it.
However, such a terrifying person is not the most powerful being in the world. There is also the Great Emperor Dawn, who is on par with him.
This person was the Great Emperor Dawn, and the reason why the Great Emperor Dawn was able to be on par with this guy was because of the Heart of Dawn.
Hearing this, Yang Zhen's heart was indeed filled with excitement.
Regardless of what the Heart of Dawn actually is, the legend alone is enough to make Yang Zhen give it a try.
Yang Zhen had no intention of becoming some kind of Child of Heaven and Earth; those fairy tales and legends were all lies. However, after obtaining this item, he could clearly learn more about the secrets of the world, which was what Yang Zhen was most interested in.
At this moment, a supremely powerful Demon Race laughed loudly, emanating a terrifying demonic Yao Qi, and roared at the heavens and earth, "Shameless humans! You think you can obtain the inheritance of my Beiqi Demon Race? You're delusional! Today, every one of you who comes will die. If even one of you manages to escape, I, Pikachu, will never Beiqi again!"
Yang Zhen, who was initially awestruck by the terrifying Celestial Person before him, nearly stumbled and fell to the ground upon hearing the creature's name.
Pikachu, what the hell! That name is just awful!
At that moment, a cold snort rang out, and Duan Sihai slowly walked down from the sky, looking at Pikachu and saying, " Pikachu, is it? It's time to return what your Demon Race has guarded for twenty thousand years!"
"Bullshit! What my Beiqi Demon Race protects has always belonged to Beiqi Demon Race. Who do you think you are?"
" Ancient Life Sect, Duan Sihai!"
boom!
The aura emanating from the two powerful figures erupted completely, and Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat stealthily burrowed into the ground!
