That big black rat ran so fast that even the young master of Purgatory was startled.
Insect True Person snorted coldly, and with a casual wave of his hand, a black light rushed towards the direction where the black shadow had disappeared.
Not long after, a scream came from not far ahead. A Purgatory Blood Guard staggered toward them, his movements stiff, like a walking corpse.
Upon seeing the Purgatory Blood Guard, a look of fury flashed across Purgatory young master's face. He stared at the Purgatory Blood Guard and asked, "You bastards, what's the matter that you're so panicked?"
This wasn't panic; it was practically a desperate escape, the kind where they ran for their lives, so fast that even their young master didn't notice.
The Purgatory Blood Guard seemed to be controlled by something. They had struggled along the way, but upon seeing the young master of Purgatory, their faces turned pale, and they forgot to struggle. They hurriedly and respectfully said, "Young Master!"
A sinister look flashed across the young master of Purgatory's face, and the Purgatory Blood Guard hurriedly recounted what had happened by the Derivation Stone.
Even though the Purgatory Blood Guard weren't exaggerating, they were still shocked to hear that Yang Zhen had killed over thirty of them with a single snap of his fingers, turning their Purgatory Blood Guard and blood into dust. They angrily exclaimed, "How is this possible? Yang Zhen is only at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm First Heavenly Layer. Any one of you could easily take this kid's life. Could it be...?"
"Not good!"
Insect True Person's expression changed, and he said in horror, "That noise just now was probably because Yang Zhen destroyed the Derivation Stone."
Upon hearing this, the young master of Purgatory's expression changed drastically, and he leaped towards the Derivation Stone: " Yang Zhen, you bastard, how dare you destroy my Derivation Stone! I'll make you wish you were dead!"
A roar rang out, startling the Purgatory Blood Guard. They hurriedly followed behind Purgatory young master, chasing after Yang Zhen.
When the three arrived at the location of the Derivation Stone, they were immediately stunned by the colorful pile of white bones before them.
Insect True Person snorted coldly and lunged towards the barrier, only to be pulled back by the young master of Purgatory: "The barrier has been altered."
"What?"
Insect True Person squinted at the tranquil path of the barrier before him, his face flashing with surprise and uncertainty. He asked curiously, "Could it be that Yang Zhen has another expert by his side?"
The young master of Purgatory snorted coldly, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty, and said, "Regardless of whether he has any powerful figures by his side, he's doomed today."
As he spoke, the young master of Purgatory casually grabbed the Purgatory Blood Guard, whose expression changed drastically. Without any power to resist, the young master of Purgatory grabbed him by the throat and threw him into the restriction.
Silently, the Purgatory Blood Guard's expression changed drastically. After a hysterical roar, he forcibly tore off his own flesh, which soon turned into dust, leaving behind a pile of withered bones.
The young master of Purgatory squinted, muttering to himself, "So that's how it is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young master of Purgatory stomped heavily on the ground, and countless restrictions immediately rippled and changed, returning to normal.
Yang Zhen had no idea how Thanos's Finger Snap. If he were that powerful, he could just snap his fingers wherever he went, and soon the entire Cultivation World —no, the entire Great Wilderness World— would be his.
After the young master of Purgatory and the Insect True Person passed through the barrier without any serious danger, another rumbling sound came from not far ahead, and their expressions changed drastically.
"Young... Young Master, is that... that place ahead?"
Even someone as cunning as Insect True Person showed a bewildered and uncertain expression on his face, looking at the Young Master of Purgatory with disbelief.
The restrictions in the Great You Purgatory are extremely insidious, encompassing almost all the most insidious restrictions of the entire Great Wilderness era. Even if Insect True Person wanted to force his way through these restrictions, he probably wouldn't survive without at least ten or eight lives.
Yang Zhen not only removed the restriction in front of the Derivation Stone, but also shattered the Derivation Stone. Now he has even entered the place that absolutely no one else can enter. The fact that the Young Master of Purgatory did not fly into a rage on the spot shows how calm he was.
" Yang Zhen!"
The young master of Purgatory practically spat out Yang Zhen's name through gritted teeth, crushing a ghastly green jade stone in his hand to dust.
In an instant, the entire Golden Crown Giant Tree emitted a series of wailing sounds, and all its branches seemed to come alive. The many cultivators who were still rushing down all changed their expressions drastically, exhausted from their efforts.
Within the Great You Purgatory, countless dark figures converged on the center from all directions, moving with lightning speed, like black torrents.
"Anyone who enters the Great You Purgatory today will die!"
A blood-red glint flashed in the eyes of the young master of Purgatory. He leaped and rushed in the direction where Yang Zhen and the others had left. Along the way, countless restrictions flowed like water in all directions, clearing a path for survival.
Not far ahead, Yang Zhen's face flashed with a ferocious expression as he stared intently at the enormous craters in the distance, his rage reaching its peak!
Within the countless giant pits before them, the roots of the Golden Crown Giant Tree were everywhere, and almost every root was connected to a cultivator.
Countless cultivators in the giant pit were like walking corpses, their eyes filled with blankness. Their auras fluctuated, from cultivators at the Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm to powerful figures at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Sixth Heavenly Layer. All of them were restrained by a root, as if it were providing nutrients to the Golden Crown Giant Tree.
Within the roots of the Golden Crown Giant Tree are numerous nearly transparent spheres, inside which sit various neatly dressed male and female cultivators, cross-legged with their palms facing upwards, clearly engaged in cultivation.
Within these transparent giant cocoons, the vast majority of cultivators' cultivation levels fluctuated around the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Eighth Heavenly Layer.
At this rate of cultivation, it won't be long before they break through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer. They only need an opportunity to advance their realm to reach the level of Half-Step Great Saint.
Looking around, Yang Zhen saw that within the countless giant pits, almost all the flesh and blood of the cultivators had been removed. Only those cultivators whose eyes still retained some color could still be identified as human, suggesting that they had been recently added to the area.
Within the giant pit, beneath the feet of countless cultivators lay layers upon layers of corpses, covered with swarms of ghost-faced Ghost-Face Insect. Upon seeing Yang Zhen Yang Zhen and the others, these insects rustled and charged towards them.
boom--!
A deafening roar resounded as the mountain opposite Yang Zhen and the others was shattered by a terrifying force. A group of people with special runes engraved on their foreheads rushed in. Upon seeing this scene, they also gasped in shock. Most of the women among them turned pale, and some even gagged.
"Utterly devoid of conscience! Absolutely devoid of conscience!"
To Yang Zhen's left, Yang Sichang and Lu Haike, who had just entered the room, were both ashen-faced and furious as they watched what was happening before them. Their auras were overwhelming, clearly indicating that they were enraged.
Countless insects rushed towards the group from the giant pit, a dark mass resembling the waves of a vast ocean, sending chills down their spines.
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, an extremely sinister and shrill voice rang out, and the sea of insects suddenly stopped in unison.
Countless figures converged from all directions. The young master of Purgatory clapped his hands, his face filled with a cold expression, and slowly said, "That's good. Except for those from the Heavenly Moon Holy Land, you're all basically here, saving me the trouble of dealing with you one by one."
At this point, the young master of Purgatory revealed a half-smile, looking at Yang Zhen and saying, " Yang Zhen, you have no way to escape now, but I can give you a chance. Believe me, you must pledge your loyalty to me and then kill everyone here. Otherwise, believe me, your fate will definitely not be any better than theirs."
Yang Zhen's eyes lit up, and he said with a delighted expression, "That's great! If I kill everyone here, will you let me go?"
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
Beside the old woman, Tian Lingshan stared at Yang Zhen with a look of astonishment on her face and said, "He's Yang Zhen? How could this be?"
Yu Gan snorted coldly, his face full of disappointment, and said, "It seems we overestimated Yang Zhen."
Rumble!
Another loud bang rang out, and the people from the Heavenly Moon Holy Land entered!
