"You think you can kick me out? No way!"
In the third layer of the world, Yang Zhen was shirtless, emanating terrifying power fluctuations, with surging, dragon-like primordial energy surging wildly within his body.
Within his Dantian, bursts of violent energy shattered all his meridians, only to heal them again. The excruciating pain nearly caused Yang Zhen to faint.
After going back and forth like this, Yang Zhen was almost driven crazy!
But this process has to be done a hundred times, a hundred times, damn it!
Yang Zhen was in so much pain he was almost cursing. He had never been in such pain before. What was even more strange to Yang Zhen was that the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda had undergone some kind of change and was actually trying to throw him out.
Killing one of your Profound Beast is like throwing me out – what are you thinking?
There was no way he could get out. He was in such a sorry state; if he were thrown out, he wouldn't be able to move. If he appeared in front of everyone like this, the embarrassment would be minor, but if he ended up in front of Yuan Kong and Luo Kun, he'd be dead for sure.
In order to avoid being thrown out of the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda, Yang Zhen almost lost his life. He discovered that as long as the Hundred Breaks Crystal Core in his body shattered all the meridians in his body, the repulsive force would be much smaller. In the end, the destruction became more and more thorough, and Yang Zhen was tormented to the point of dying and coming back to life.
Just now, Yang Zhen suddenly realized that even if he shattered all the veins in his body, it would probably be of no use. At this moment, the whole world seemed to have undergone a complete upheaval.
The place where Yang Zhen was located had become completely different for some reason. It no longer felt like a world of its own, but rather like all worlds had merged together, and the Nine Realms had become one.
Nine Realms!
Yang Zhen's heart skipped a beat. Had the sealed world also merged in, or had the sealed world devoured the other eight worlds?
For some reason, Yang Zhen was more inclined to believe the latter scenario.
This change might mean some treasure has been born, so Yang Zhen naturally wouldn't give up easily. He gritted his teeth and shattered his own Spirit Root.
If anyone knew he was so insane that he even shattered his Spirit Root, they would probably call him a fool.
Spirit Root are the foundation of a cultivator's practice. Without Spirit Root, no matter how high one's talent is, one cannot cultivate at all.
A cultivator's Spirit Root is innate. Although acquired cultivation relies more on talent, the superiority of one's Spirit Root is a prerequisite for determining the speed of cultivation and the level of cultivation one can reach.
A good Spirit Root can basically allow one to cultivate to a very high level.
This is why many people in the Youzhou Continent are trying to improve their Spirit Root, and some Evil Cultivator even resort to cruel methods to plunder and devour the Spirit Root of others.
Yang Zhen's Spirit Root Spirit Root is one of the best in the Youzhou Continent, and there is almost no possibility of further improvement unless he can mutate Spirit Root into an extremely rare special Spirit Root.
After shattering the Spirit Root, the repulsive force was indeed much weaker. Yang Zhen laughed heartily and gave the heavens an extremely flamboyant middle finger.
"What kind of bullshit Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda? You only killed one of your Profound Beast, and you've made such a big fuss to try and squeeze me out? Bah!"
Fighting against fate is truly painful!
After his Spirit Root was shattered, Yang Zhen was in excruciating pain, but there was nothing he could do but endure it.
Anyway, with the Hundred Breaks Crystal Core, the Spirit Root can be re-formed in a while. The re-formed Spirit Root will not only have the powerful attributes of the Hundred Breaks Crystal Core, but may also be more solid.
At this moment, the violent power in mid-air almost merged the entire world together, uniting the Nine Realms into one. All kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures flew everywhere, while the Realm Treasure of the other six realms floated in mid-air.
Snap!
A crisp sound rang out, and Yang Zhen's expression changed. He hurriedly checked his body and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that nothing on him had exploded.
It didn't explode, so what was that?
Yang Zhen looked down in confusion. The wooden plaque that symbolized his identity was completely shattered and could not be put back together.
The wooden plaque was merely a symbol of status; once it was gone, it was gone, so Yang Zhen didn't care much. What puzzled Yang Zhen was that so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures were floating around in the world, yet he didn't see a single cultivator trying to snatch them.
There wasn't a single cultivator, not even Ghost Shadow.
Yang Zhen's eyes widened, and suddenly a possibility occurred to her.
"Has the others already gone out?"
Once the thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.
The terrifying air currents in mid-air are now churning the Opening Heaven, as if the world is being created or destroyed. His Spirit Root has exploded, his Dantian is empty, and he is seriously injured. He can hardly move, let alone go out. He is in excruciating pain.
As the celestial phenomena in the sky became increasingly frequent, with thunder rumbling and roaring, and rays of light stretching across the sky, and thunder dragons tumbling and soaring, the terrifying and awe-inspiring power of the heavens sent chills down one's spine.
"This... seems like we've gone too far?"
Yang Zhen looked puzzled. He had originally thought that the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda was too stingy and wanted to squeeze him out, so he risked his life to stay here. But now it seemed that everyone else had left, and he was the only one left here, and... he couldn't get out.
Having spent his days scheming against others, Yang Zhen has now gotten himself into a predicament where he can't move. Staring blankly at the terrifying celestial phenomenon in the sky, he had a bewildered "damn it" to say to no one.
Just then, a destructive shockwave suddenly erupted in mid-air, and a transparent object resembling a coffin appeared out of thin air, slowly floating in the air. Despite the turmoil of heaven and earth, the coffin remained unmoved!
The next moment, Yang Zhen's eyes widened suddenly. "There's someone inside?"
Outside, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Jiang Kingdom had a strange look on his face after hearing about Yang Zhen's actions.
Beside him, the handsome young man frowned, looking at Hua Youyue with a thoughtful expression.
When Yang Zhen was mentioned, Hua Youyue wore a smile that none of the people present had ever seen before.
"In that case, this child is indeed exceptionally talented," the Imperial Advisor nodded and said.
Hua Youyue's eyes lit up. "I am honored that the Imperial Preceptor thinks so highly of him, but he is trapped inside and cannot get out, and we cannot get in either. What should we do?"
The Imperial Advisor pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's all about timing and fate. No one knows what happened inside. This might just be a stroke of luck for him."
At this moment, the Ku Toutuo stepped forward with a gloomy expression, sneered, and said, "Grand Preceptor, Yang Zhen is arrogant and disdainful of everyone. It is fate that he is trapped inside. How can this be a stroke of good fortune?"
Hua Youyue's expression darkened. She glanced at the Ku Toutuo and asked with some worry, "Grand Preceptor, what are his chances of surviving this time?"
"Less than 30%!"
"What?" Hua Youyue exclaimed in surprise.
The rest of the crowd clapped and cheered, especially the cultivators who had grudges against Yang Zhen, who were truly delighted.
"Less than 30%? Yang Zhen is practically doomed."
"That's not necessarily true. There's still a 30% chance of survival, and besides, Yang Zhen's wooden plaque hasn't broken yet."
Did anyone see Yang Zhen when you came out?
Ning Yiling and Ding Xun'er's expressions changed, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
When the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda was in turmoil, the two of them happened to be with Yang Zhen. However, at that time, the ferocious beast unleashed a red wave of energy that enveloped Yang Zhen, and the two of them were thrown out. As for where Yang Zhen is now, they don't know.
Just then, someone suddenly exclaimed, " Yang Zhen's wooden sign is broken!"
"What?"
"That scourge is finally dead!"
"This is truly gratifying! Absolutely gratifying!"
