" Life Sacrifice?"
Upon hearing the words of the Shameless Cat, both Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er were startled.
The two had heard the term mentioned by the Shameless Cat before. It was when the Beiqi Clan had just been born, and the Shameless Cat and Yang Zhen were discussing how most cultivators in High Antiquity times liked to tame a mount.
Life Sacrifice is an innate ability of spirit beasts and Demon Beast, enabling them to Life Sacrifice for others, sharing both glory and fortune. However, the lives of spirit beasts and Demon Beast are ultimately in the hands of the sacrificed individuals.
In other words, once the Life Sacrifice is used, if Yang Zhen wants Flirtatious Chicken to die, Flirtatious Chicken will be completely destroyed with just a thought, leaving her with no chance to resist.
Upon hearing the words "Life Sacrifice," Guo Hu trembled violently, and the entire Beiqi Clan behind him was deeply shaken.
Everyone stared in shock as Flirtatious Chicken's life flame floated above Yang Zhen's brow. Once Yang Zhen chose to accept Flirtatious Chicken's Life Sacrifice, the flame would enter Yang Zhen's brow, completing the Life Sacrifice process. Flirtatious Chicken's life would then be completely in Yang Zhen's hands.
Even those who had never heard of Life Sacrifice, after witnessing this scene, could vaguely guess what Flirtatious Chicken was about to do, and they were all so astonished that their mouths were agape, big enough to swallow their fists.
Phew--!
A clear, mournful cry resounded through the heavens and earth. The terrifying body of the Flirtatious Chicken suddenly shrank, transforming back into the Flirtatious Chicken's appearance, but no longer possessing flesh and blood, but rather a divine soul, hovering in mid-air. Endless lightning struck that small body, demonstrating the power of heaven and earth.
This Flirtatious Chicken is taking the Heavenly Punishment for Yang Zhen!
Seeing the swaying body of the Flirtatious Chicken, countless people were deeply shocked.
No one could have imagined that Yang Zhen, amidst the endless Heavenly Punishment, would give up all resistance and endure two rounds of Heavenly Punishment, which in turn awakened Flirtatious Chicken's sanity.
Now, seeing the Flirtatious Chicken looking at Yang Zhen with a mournful cry, its body, blasted by the Heavenly Punishment, swaying precariously and on the verge of disintegration, countless people roared in anger.
" Yang Zhen, quickly accept Flirtatious Chicken's life force! This might save Flirtatious Chicken's life."
"Damn it, Yang Zhen, what are you waiting for? Can't you see that this Flirtatious Chicken has regained her senses? How could she possibly withstand this level of Heavenly Punishment?"
" Yang Zhen, what are you waiting for?"
Everyone was urging Yang Zhen to quickly accept the life-giving spark from the Flirtatious Chicken, but Yang Zhen seemed not to hear them. He just grinned, his breath completely gone, his body staggering, and he looked like he was about to collapse.
The Shameless Cat, frantic with worry, also started cursing. "Damn it, kid, you're not going to give up, are you? Hurry up and accept the life force of that Flirtatious Chicken Flirtatious Chicken, that might save her soul!"
Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er were shocked and looked at Yang Zhen nervously.
However, even when the Shameless Cat was meowing, Yang Zhen seemed not to hear it, and in the end, she even closed her eyes.
The moment Yang Zhen closed her eyes, everyone was filled with fear.
Having persevered for so long, is it really possible that I can't keep going?
If Yang Zhen can't hold on, he and Flirtatious Chicken will almost certainly die under Heavenly Punishment.
Countless people fell silent, staring intently at the increasingly ferocious and roaring Heavenly Punishment in mid-air, their faces filled with regret.
Damn it, couldn't you have held on a little longer? If you had just held on a little longer and accepted the life-giving spark from that Flirtatious Chicken Flirtatious Chicken, maybe she could have survived.
" Yang the Skinflint, you Laozi! I'm the first person you've ever stripped naked. I've walked all the way from the Youzhou Continent to North Isle, and every single day I've wished you a horrible death. But... but now, you damn well better open your Laozi! Open your eyes now! This slut is about to die, you Flirtatious Chicken!"
In the crowd, a burly man with a full beard roared, tears streaming down his face, which was instantly ruined. He didn't bother to wipe them away, put his hands to his mouth, and roared at Yang Zhen, looking like he wanted to rush up and slap Yang Zhen to wake him up.
This roar startled everyone around, who all stared in astonishment at the tears streaming down the bearded man's face.
The next moment, countless people roared along with the bearded man, " Yang Zhen, open your eyes!"
Buzz--!
An invisible wave of energy erupted from Yang Zhen, and even the demonic barrier that Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er couldn't break through couldn't stop this invisible wave of energy.
Perhaps hearing the roars of the crowd, Yang Zhen slowly opened his eyes. His wounds were mysteriously healing; within a few breaths, the scabs had fallen off, revealing almost flawless skin.
Yang Zhen was almost skinned alive. He threw his head back and laughed wildly, the sound waves soaring into the sky, making everyone's blood boil.
Although we don't know what happened to Yang Zhen, this mixed-style guy has finally recovered.
Once Yang Zhen recovers, it will be a moment that will get everyone excited.
The Shameless Cat was so excited that every hair on its body stood on end. It jumped around on the spot, shouting, "It's awake! It's awake! I knew it! That bastard Kid Yang was a menace who would live a thousand years! How could he die so easily? Wahahaha! Damn, in this situation, what kind of background music would be good?"
"What is background music (BGM)?" Han Yan'er asked curiously.
The Shameless Cat didn't answer the question. Instead, it took out a sound-reflection stone from its storage ring and slapped it with its paw.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yang Zhen looked at the life-giving spark between his brows and said with a smile, "Damn it, you've finally had enough, haven't you? This Sage of Saunter thought I was going to die at your hands this time."
As he spoke, Yang Zhen flicked the life-giving spark in front of him, and the Flirtatious Chicken immediately burst into a terrifying Golden Crow Fire, rushing towards the Flirtatious Chicken with a loud bang.
"You should keep the spark of life yourself!"
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, reached out and beckoned, and the Great Deficiency Sword landed in Yang Zhen's hand with a resounding hum.
Everyone was shocked to see Yang Zhen return the life-giving spark to the Flirtatious Chicken. They all stared at Yang Zhen in astonishment, their faces full of confusion.
The Shameless Cat shuddered, looking at Yang Zhen with a complicated expression.
"Damn it, kid, do you even know what you're returning?"
Yang Zhen grinned at the Shameless Cat and said, "I know!"
"You know?" The Shameless Cat glared and yelled, "Damn it, you know nothing! Once the life force of that Flirtatious Chicken is integrated into your body, you'll essentially control the Golden Crow Fire, a treasure even more powerful than the Companion Heavenly Fire! Do you know how many powerful beings in High Antiquity times coveted this Golden Crow Fire?"
"So what?" Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, " Life Sacrifice seems to have many benefits, and for this 'Sage of Saunter,' it brings countless blessings, but what about for this Flirtatious Chicken '?"
The Shameless Cat was taken aback and asked, "There's no downside to Flirtatious Chicken. On the contrary, if your strength increases, the Flirtatious Chicken's strength will also increase. It's a win-win situation."
Yang Zhen laughed loudly, "That's utter nonsense! Do you know that if one's fate is everyone's, then why is this ancient ritual called Life Sacrifice?"
"Why?" The Shameless Cat shuddered, its eyes flashing with surprise and uncertainty.
"The reason it's called Life Sacrifice is not just because one's life is given to the sacrificed, but also an endless number of lives. If this Sage of Saunter were to accept the Flirtatious Chicken's life-giving flame, it would never be able to cultivate to the Great Emperor Realm."
Everyone was stunned by Yang Zhen's words.
He's gone mad! Yang Zhen has gone mad! The world has gone mad too! He's cultivated to the Great Emperor Realm Stage?!
What kind of joke is Yang Zhen making?
Not only did everyone think Yang Zhen was delusional, but even the Shameless Cat thought Yang Zhen.
"Cultivated to the Great Emperor Realm Stage?" The Shameless Cat muttered to himself, "Damn it, kid, what are you thinking? That bastard, that Flirtatious Chicken, can actually cultivate to the Great Emperor Realm Stage?"
"If I say it can, it can!" Yang Zhen grinned and said to Flirtatious Chicken, " Flirtatious Chicken, shall we join this Sage of Saunter in slaying this Heavenly Tribulation?"
"Good!"
boom--!
Suddenly, a towering Golden Crow Fire surged around the Flirtatious Chicken that had reclaimed its natal flame.
Yang Zhen laughed heartily and leaped towards the roaring, furious Heavenly Punishment Clouds, with the Golden Crow following closely behind.
Everyone was stunned, taking a deep breath in unison. They were all intimidated by the aura of Yang Zhen and Flirtatious Chicken, their hearts pounding in their throats.
Are these two guys really going to defy the heavens?
Just then, the sound-image stone that the Shameless Cat had placed on the ground suddenly crackled and emitted a deep sound.
"How... how lonely it is to be invincible..."
Countless people were stunned as they watched the man and the Golden Crow charge towards the Heavenly Punishment, especially Yang Zhen's words, "If I say it can, it can," which were even more awe-inspiring.
That's the Great Emperor Realm! Throughout history, who has dared to harbor such a delusion?
That bastard Yang Zhen, his goal is actually the Great Emperor Realm?
