In mid-air, a giant lotus flower floated and slowly rotated, emanating a terrifying aura that seemed to be the Heavenly Wrath, sending chills down one's spine.
Yang Zhen couldn't tell what material the lotus was made of. Countless rays of light surged from the lotus in all directions. Caught off guard, Yang Zhen rushed in and was immediately shaken to his core.
This was an aura that bordered on savage madness, capable of directly affecting one's mind. It was easy to imagine that although the lotus flower in mid-air looked lifelike and extremely beautiful, it was definitely not a good thing.
Beneath the lotus, the old man Xin Hai stood in high spirits, his robes fluttering. He raised his hands to the sky, sending beams of Wu Guang toward the lotus. With each Wu Guang that entered the lotus, a black line appeared on the petals.
" World-Ending Heavenly Lotus?"
The Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with shock as they stared at the raging lotus in mid-air before turning their gaze to Xin Hai.
"Oh no! Xin Hai is refining the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus!"
Upon hearing the name " World-Ending Heavenly Lotus, "Yang Zhen's heart stirred.
What kind of nonsense is this, daring to claim it can destroy the world so easily?
Looking at the expressions on Feng Wuya and the others' faces, Yang Zhen became even more certain that although this World-Ending Heavenly Lotus was not a good thing, it was indeed an extraordinary object.
The Shameless Cat was practically drooling, grabbing Yang Zhen's ear and saying, "Quick, kid, we can't let Xin Hai refine this World-Ending Heavenly Lotus!"
"Is this stuff delicious?" Yang Zhen glanced disdainfully at the drool around the Shameless Cat's mouth and asked with a lack of interest.
"What do you know!" The Shameless Cat's eyes widened as it said, "This World-Ending Heavenly Lotus can heal the dead and restore flesh to bones. Legend has it that it can even bring the dead back to life. It's an indispensable raw material for refining the Heaven-Subjugating Pill."
"What is the Heaven-Subjugating Pill?" Yang Zhen's heart skipped a beat. Destroying the world was possible, but slaying the heavens?
Isn't that utter nonsense?
The Shameless Cat took a deep breath and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. We must stop Xin Hai, otherwise even if the Great Saint were to be born, he wouldn't be able to do anything to Xin Hai."
Yang Zhen shuddered at these words. Even the Great Saint couldn't stop someone like Xin Hai; was Xin Hai simply out of control?
Before Yang Zhen could make a move, the Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels burst into laughter and charged towards Xin Hai: " Xin Hai, we're here! Clearly, even the heavens don't want you to Devil Transformation this World-Ending Heavenly Lotus!"
boom!
In mid-air, five terrifying light curtains merged into one, like a canopy in the sky, rushing towards Xin Hai.
Feng Wuya and the others also had solemn expressions and made their moves one after another. In an instant, the air waves surged to the sky, and the terrifying True Essence fluctuations churned up like a tidal wave, making the entire surrounding world seem to be shaken.
Yang Zhen was dumbfounded. He thought Feng Wuyai was unreasonable enough, but it turned out that even a senior expert like Feng Wuya was so inconsiderate of the order of arrival and would attack without hesitation!
At this moment, Yao Lianxing suddenly gave a bitter smile and said, "Young friend Yang, you may not know this, but the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus has a very powerful characteristic: it can influence the minds of countless living beings. If the World-Destroying World-Ending Heavenly Lotus is Devil Transformation by Xin Hai, the Demon Sect will hardly need to spend manpower and resources to bring out and spread the Demonic Verse. They only need to activate the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus to turn countless people into walking corpses."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen's heart skipped a beat. Staring at the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus in mid-air, which had already turned a third of black, he said, "So, stopping Xin Hai now is actually a great act of merit?"
Just as Yao Lianxing was about to speak, Xin Hai suddenly burst into laughter, unrestrained and arrogant, looking at Feng Wuya and the others with a playful expression, and said, "Interesting. You've arrived much earlier than I expected, but..."
Before Xin Hai could finish speaking, a series of Jiujiu sounds suddenly rang out around them, and countless dark figures rushed towards them, surrounding Feng Wuya and the others in just a few breaths.
" Demon Guard!" Feng Wuya and the others stared at the dark, shadowy figures before them with expressions of surprise and uncertainty, their faces growing serious.
" Demon Guard?" Yang Zhen took a deep breath, his expression turning serious.
The aura emanating from these Demon Guard was exceptionally terrifying and profound, at least on par with Mo Wu, and perhaps even surpassing it.
That's a bit scary!
Yang Zhen had always thought that the Demon Sect was no more than a force similar to the Demon God Territory, but now it seemed that the Demon God Territory was far inferior to the Demon Sect.
boom!
A terrifying power erupted, and Feng Wuya and the others were immediately stopped by the suddenly appearing Demon Guard. They staggered, their expressions shifting between anger and uncertainty!
There were more than twenty Demon Guard, their auras surging, and their movements were no longer as stiff as those of Mo Wu.
Clearly, the Demon Guard is more powerful than the Demon Puppet, Mo Wu. It has a natural, innate quality, like a true powerhouse.
"I didn't expect to see Demon Guard here. It seems the Demon Sect has invested a lot in the Holy Tomb."
Feng Wuya Wuyai laughed heartily, knocking one of the Demon Guard away with a single sword strike. Looking at Xin Hai in mid-air, he said, "I wonder if all the Demon Guard here are lost, will that old bastard Demon Emperor turn you into Demon Puppet in a fit of rage!"
Xin Hai smiled, shook his head, and said, " Feng Wuya, do you think this kind of provocation will work on me?"
Feng Wuya's expression changed, and he snorted coldly. Just as he was about to speak, Xin Hai said with a smile, "Even if all the Demon Guard die today, I must refine this World-Ending Heavenly Lotus. It is indeed a pity that the Demon Guard die, but once I refine the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus, not only will the Demon Guard have as many as they want, but all of you will die here. Do you think I will stop fighting you just because you provoked me with a few words?"
"You!" Feng Wuya's face turned ashen. He snorted coldly and said to the people around him, "Let's finish this quickly!"
Feng Wuya and the others quickly approached the Demon Guard and engaged in a chaotic battle. Terrifying shockwaves surged and churned, a true clash of gods.
Yang Zhen, watching from the side, found it rather strange. He turned to the Shameless Cat and asked, "Is this lotus flower something the Great Saint used to revive?"
The Shameless Cat shook its head and said, "I've never heard of the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus helping people reincarnate. It's probably born from the Spiritual Qi within the Holy Tomb. Kid, do you have any way to refine this World-Ending Heavenly Lotus? It would be of great benefit to you."
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "What do you think this is? You think you can refine it like that? Even Xin Hai, that thick-browed, big-eyed guy, had to slowly nibble it away. Who's going to give me that much time to slowly refine this thing?"
The Shameless Cat paused, then said thoughtfully, "If we can't refine it, we'll find a way to destroy it."
Yang Zhen was stunned. He glanced at the seemingly harmless World-Ending Heavenly Lotus with surprise and asked curiously, "Is this thing really that terrifying?"
The Shameless Cat took a deep breath, becoming unusually serious, and explained, "It's not that the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus is terrifying; it's that if the Demon Sect World-Ending Heavenly Lotus to obtain it, that would be the most terrifying thing."
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "So, the Demon Sect can really use the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus to do heinous things?"
The Shameless Cat nodded emphatically.
boom!
A deafening roar resounded, separating Feng Wuya and the others from the Demon Guard. In mid-air, a terrifying shockwave shot into the sky, and violent True Essence swept in all directions, destroying the heavens and the earth.
Everyone felt their Qi and Blood surging, and Feng Wuya and the others were even more ashen-faced.
The Demon Guard were clearly far superior to the Demon Puppet, and for a time, the group was unable to do anything about Demon Guard.
Almost everyone's gaze was fixed on the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus, which was nearly half-black in mid-air. No one noticed that Yang Zhen had already walked to the foot of the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus, looked up at Xin Hai and the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus, and said in a serious tone, "Hi, hello, I want this World-Ending Heavenly Lotus, can you give it to me?"
Everyone: "..."
Xin Hai glanced at Yang Zhen, and upon seeing that it was Yang Zhen, a half-smile appeared on his face. He said, "Kid, I didn't expect to see you again so soon. Are you joking with this old man?"
Yang Zhen shook his head and said seriously, "No, if you don't give it to me, I'll just take it."
