Upon hearing the words of the Jade Pool Holy Lord, the Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace was taken aback, and sighed, saying, "It's a pity that the legendary person was far too arrogant, not even putting the heavens in his eyes, but..."
Jade Holy Palace glanced deeply at the Land of Seven Yin and Seven Yang and said, "However, what's even more regrettable is that we weren't born in the same era as that person. It was a magnificent era, said to have been inhabited not only by humans but also by many other races. The vastness of that world was incomparable to the present world."
"That's all in the past. Many places have disappeared, and those Great Saint and Great Emperor have also vanished. As for this world today, it's unknown whether it will take tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years, to return to what it was in that era."
The Jade Pool Holy Lord laughed heartily and said, "However, this era also has its advantages. You and I, along with everyone else in the world, only need to focus on our cultivation. The changes in the world are incredibly complex; who knows what tomorrow will bring?"
The Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace laughed heartily and said, "I'm starting to look forward to it. Maybe this kid Yang Zhen really can change this world."
The Jade Pool Holy Lord gave the Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace a strange look, then chuckled and said, "You overestimate Yang Zhen."
The Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace smiled, gave the Jade Pool Holy Lord a meaningful look, and said, "The Holy Master is no different; otherwise, she wouldn't have betrothed the Third Holy Maiden to Yang Zhen."
The Jade Pool Holy Lord was taken aback, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "Perhaps. Having witnessed such a great era in my life, I may also have a desire to seek change."
The two exchanged a few words, but in the Land of Seven Yin and Seven Yang, Yang Zhen was completely dumbfounded.
This Heavenly Punishment doesn't seem to be aimed at him after all.
"I knew Heaven and Sage of Saunter wouldn't be so petty! I merely set up a Sage of Saunter Samsara Heaven Formation that steals the creation of Heaven and Sage of Saunter, and you want to annihilate me? That's a bit unreasonable. But... you might as well come at Sage of Saunter Flirtatious Chicken, first ask if the Great Deficiency Sword in my Sage of Saunter will allow it!"
boom--!
A terrifying surge of energy suddenly erupted from Yang Zhen's body, propelling him into the air. He shattered a descending Heavenly Punishment with a single sword strike, and amidst his laughter, shouted at the heavens, "Come on, if you have the guts, come at this Sage of Saunter!"
The universe is vast and its order is uncertain. All living beings in the world have a sense of awe towards the universe because it is the environment on which countless living beings depend for survival.
Yang Zhen came from the Blue Planet. Putting aside his preconceived notions, the way the Blue Planet had been altered by the local humans instilled in him a belief that humans could conquer nature. Now, even when facing the ethereal Lord of the Azure Sky in the Cultivation World, Yang Zhen Yang Zhen not have the same sense of fear as the local beings.
The saying "Man can conquer nature" is not just a casual remark!
Rumble--!
The raging might of heaven in mid-air was as vast as a boundless ocean, with terrifying bolts of lightning swirling and churning within it, demonstrating the terror of the order of heaven and earth and the immensity of heavenly power.
Waves of terrifying pressure descended, like a tiny mortal facing a sky full of thunder and raging Heavenly Fire. The profound sense of powerlessness did not make Yang Zhen Yang Zhen any fear; instead, it ignited the wildness within him.
At this moment, no one noticed that Yang Zhen's pupils were deep black with a faint golden light. He looked at the raging, arrogant thunder dragon in mid-air, the Shangwu the Great Deficiency Sword, pointing the sword to the sky, issuing the most arrogant provocation.
Outside the Land of Seven Yin and Seven Yang, everyone gasped in shock upon seeing Yang Zhen's actions.
Everyone knew that Yang Zhen had killed the Heavenly Pivot Holy Lord with a single sword strike and kicked Lin Haotian to death; he was a madman that no one dared to offend.
But who would have thought that Yang Zhen would dare to defy even heaven and earth?
Upon seeing Yang Zhen's action, everyone couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"That madman Yang Zhen dares to defy the heavens! Does he... has a death wish?"
"How can human cultivators dare to challenge the might of Heaven and Earth? Even the Great Saint and Great Emperor have vanished in the overwhelming power of Heaven. Yang Zhen's actions will definitely bring about his death, and he might even perish."
In the distant sky, the Ling Feng silently gazed at Yang Zhen amidst the clouds, murmuring to herself, "So lifelike!"
With that, Ling Feng sighed, covered her mouth with her hand and coughed lightly, then slowly turned around and left the Jade Pool Holy Land for good.
Is the sky... about to change?
boom--!
A deafening roar that ripped through the sky resounded, and a terrifying bolt of lightning, as large as a small mountain and radiating a greenish light, descended from the sky like a giant peak pressing down on Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen was startled. He had thought that the Heavenly Punishment, after brewing for so long, would summon some old friends and Heaven and Earth Ferocious Beast. He never expected that the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud would not play by the rules and would actually create a mountain of thunder.
Who could withstand that?
A mad look flashed in Yang Zhen's eyes. With a loud laugh, the surrounding lightning cave erupted with unparalleled power. He charged forward with his sword, charging towards the sky full of lightning.
When Yang Zhen charged into the Thunder Giant Peak alone with his sword, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, as if struck by lightning. Only those who had personally experienced the Heavenly Tribulation could understand that exhilarating feeling.
"Damn it, if Yang Zhen doesn't die this time, his legend will be etched throughout the entire Western Region."
"That's incredibly fierce. When will I be able to be like Yang Zhen, fearless of Heavenly Tribulation, able to charge straight in alone with just a sword?"
"Fellow Daoist, Yang Zhen is facing Heavenly Punishment, a green Heavenly Punishment, which is not as simple as Heavenly Tribulation. I still do not recommend following Yang Zhen's example, because you really will die."
"Yes, even if it were Yang Zhen, if he hadn't died this time, I wouldn't have left the mountain gate at all. He's too terrifying."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, offering all sorts of opinions, and stared at Yang Zhen in horror. With a deafening roar, the thunderous peak exploded, transforming into dozens of thunder dragons. The vast majority struck Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, causing him to stagger, while the remaining thunder dragons rushed towards the golden egg that the Golden Crow had transformed into.
Yang Zhen roared, "Damn it, you actually launched a sneak attack! Don't you have any shame?"
Upon hearing this, everyone staggered, staring in disbelief as Yang Zhen suddenly unleashed his power, stopping the long, thunderous dragons rushing towards the golden egg. For a moment, they were dumbfounded, speechless.
That bastard Yang Zhen is really different from others; his very posture during his tribulation has already astonished everyone.
This guy is fearless, his arrogance is off the Heavenbreaker, it's truly unbelievable.
At that moment, something terrifying happened to everyone.
Above the heavens, something seemed to have been enraged by Yang Zhen. Deafening roars echoed, changing the color of the sky and earth. A surge of violent heavenly power swept in all directions, leaving devastation in its wake.
The mere gusts of heavenly wind were already devastating; if what was contained within them were to erupt, what would become of it?
Everyone was terrified, and the next moment, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
A gigantic hand, a hand that blots out the sky and radiates boundless heavenly might and Lightning Essence, descended from mid-air and grabbed at Yang Zhen.
The enormous hand, though massive, moved with lightning speed, grabbing Yang Zhen in the blink of an eye.
boom--!
The entire world seemed to explode with that single squeeze.
"Yang... Yang Zhen crushed by Heavenly Punishment?"
