"Wh... what?"
Ren Changsheng's face flickered with surprise and uncertainty. As he watched Yang Zhen walk inside step by step, his eyes suddenly revealed a look of horror.
Ren Changsheng had seen reckless people before, but he had never seen anyone as reckless as Yang Zhen. Didn't he even check if there were any restrictions around him? Even many powerful cultivators at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm had died inside, their bones left unattended. Yang Zhen just walked in so brazenly?
Not only did Yang Zhen walk in, but even Han Yan'er, a woman who seemed very rational, followed Yang Zhen without hesitation.
Han Yan'er's feet were naturally not as big as Yang Zhen's, so she didn't need to stand on tiptoe at all. As for the Shameless Cat, it was even less likely to get off Yang Zhen's shoulder.
Seeing Yang Zhen and Han Yan'er walking further and further away, Ren Changsheng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and stepped into the footprints left by Yang Zhen. When he saw that his footprints were not as big as Yang Zhen's, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The journey was less than a thousand feet, but Ren Changsheng's back was already soaked, and his clothes were almost wet. It wasn't until Yang Zhen jumped onto the stone platform and stared blankly at the Derivation Stone that Ren Changsheng suddenly realized that they had actually passed through the perilous restrictions.
Ren Changsheng turned around with a strange expression. The path was so quiet that it was as if time had stood still. If it weren't for the faint glow emanating from many of the white bones, Ren Changsheng would have thought it was an illusion.
Have all those restrictions failed?
Ren Changsheng really wanted to go back and try, but after thinking for a moment, he wisely gave up this unrealistic idea.
Putting aside the fact that this place is fraught with danger, with people from the Great You Purgatory able to come at any time, even if he were to return safely, he wouldn't remember the way Yang Zhen came from. Yang Zhen's footprints had gradually disappeared shortly after he set foot on them.
Just as Ren Changsheng turned around to look at Yang Zhen in surprise, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
With a loud thud, Yang Zhen hoisted the Derivation Stone Derivation Stone up. It was so big that Yang Zhen's face turned red from holding it in.
Ren Changsheng's eyes widened in disbelief. Yang Zhen's Yang Zhen was incredible! He had actually lifted up the Derivation Stone, which was as big as a small mountain, just like that?
The next scene nearly made Ren Changsheng's heart jump out of his chest.
Yang Zhen roared and suddenly threw the Derivation Stone he was carrying on his shoulder at the surrounding mountains. With a loud bang, the entire Derivation Stone shattered into countless pieces. The boulders flew around and made a series of rumbling sounds, which scared Ren Changsheng so much that he almost grabbed Yang Zhen and ran away.
Are you kidding me? Even if you wanted to destroy the Derivation Stone, you didn't have to make such a fuss, did you?
It's over!
Ren Changsheng's heart sank to the bottom of the water. Such a commotion would very likely attract even the young master of Purgatory.
If the young master of Purgatory were to arrive, none of the three people and one cat present would be able to escape alive.
"Brother Yang, let's go!"
Ren Changsheng wanted to pull Yang Zhen away, but his expression froze. He stared blankly as Yang Zhen walked towards a piece of gravel, a look of utter bewilderment on his face.
Yang Zhen walked to the rubble, squatted down, and propped the waist-high rock up, clicking his tongue as he said, "This is the real gem. I really don't know what those people were thinking, bringing such a big piece of junk here. Does it even look good?"
" Three Flowers Derivation Stone!"
After Ren Changsheng clearly saw the Derivation Stone in Yang Zhen's hand, he exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with shock and ecstasy.
If the Derivation Stone can shock the Great You Dynasty, then the Three Flowers Derivation Stone could even cause a tremor throughout the entire Youzhou Continent. Perhaps even the surrounding continents would rush to compete for it after hearing this news.
The Three-Flower Three Flowers Derivation Stone Three Flowers Derivation Stone is extremely precious. Cultivating under its influence can not only increase cultivation speed but also unleash the full potential of Spirit Root.
For any cultivator, the Three Flowers Derivation Stone is like a mirror, completely reflecting their true self.
"Who dares to trespass into my Great You Purgatory!"
A cold, angry shout rang out, and a number of Celestial Phenomenon Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts dressed in black and exuding a sinister black aura rushed out from the path. Yang Zhen glanced at them and saw that there were at least thirty of them.
"Oh no, it's the Purgatory Blood Guard!"
Ren Changsheng's face showed surprise, and he hurriedly shouted, "Run!"
Yang Zhen looked at the Purgatory Blood Guard, who exuded an evil aura, with curiosity. They seemed to be avoiding the restrictions on the path, so their speed was not fast, at least enough for him and his group to escape.
Although Ren Changsheng looked anxious, he knew that there was enough time for the group to escape, so he turned to look at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen slowly bent down and picked up several stones that emitted various colors of light from the ground. He then stuck them onto the back of his hand with a series of clattering sounds. He stuck five stones in total, four small and one large.
Do you know what this is?
Yang Zhen looked at everyone with amusement.
Ren Changsheng stared blankly at the pebbles on Yang Zhen's hand. They were just ordinary fluorite, yet Yang Zhen regarded them as a treasure capable of destroying the world?
Seeing the expression on Yang Zhen's face that seemed to suggest he could destroy the world with a snap of his fingers, Ren Changsheng gave a wry smile and said, "Brother Yang, let's leave first. The Purgatory Blood Guard may be slow, but they are fearless. Once we get entangled with them, we won't be able to escape."
Yang Zhen ignored Ren Changsheng and turned his gaze to the Shameless Cat.
The Shameless Cat looked at Yang Zhen with eager anticipation and said, "Kid, what new gadgets have you come up with this time? Let me see them quickly. I love your calm and collected demeanor."
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, raised his jewel-encrusted left hand, gave the Shameless Cat an approving look, and said, "This Sage of Saunter only likes your earnest flattery."
Snap!
A crisp snap of fingers echoed throughout the cave.
The faces of the rushing Purgatory Blood Guard changed drastically. Except for the last one who hadn't yet rushed in, the rest of them shuddered, their flesh and blood gradually disappearing as if turning into dust, scattering and tumbling in mid-air.
Perhaps because these Purgatory Blood Guard were moving too fast, even after their flesh and blood disappeared, their white skeletons continued to run forward, covering a distance of nearly five zhang (approximately 10 meters) before finally shattering into pieces on the ground.
The lucky Purgatory Blood Guard who hadn't managed to rush in let out a strange cry and ran back frantically as if he'd seen a ghost, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Dig up grass, this is great, this is great! Kid, what kind of Divine Ability is this?"
The Shameless Cat jumped around excitedly, its eyes fixed intently on Yang Zhen, clearly enjoying Yang Zhen's show of bravado.
"Yes... yes, Brother Yang, what kind of martial art is this? It's so strange!" Ren Changsheng was also astonished, clearly not understanding what was going on either.
Yang Zhen stood with his hands behind his back, sighed, and said, "This is Forbidden Technique from our village that has been lost for a long time, called Thanos's Finger Snap."
" Thanos's Finger Snap?" Ren Changsheng was taken aback, muttering to himself, "What a strange name, but its power is indeed immense and bizarre."
Han Yan'er looked at Yang Zhen speechlessly. Whenever Yang Zhen talked about their village, he was talking nonsense.
"Alright, let's go!"
Yang Zhen strode ahead with an air of indifference, heading towards the exit.
Not far away, the young master of Purgatory and the Insect True Person were still chatting and laughing when a rumbling sound came, startling them both.
"The commotion was quite significant. It seems Yang Zhen triggered those restrictions, but I wonder if he's turned into bones."
The Insect True Person's face flashed with fury and malice, and he said with a half-smile, "I actually hope that this brat Yang Zhen has a bit more luck..."
No sooner had they finished speaking than a dark figure, resembling a large black rat, darted past them with a whoosh.
"Wh... what is that?"
The two asked in unison, and after exchanging glances, a look of anger flashed across their faces.
