Once inside the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, Yang Zhen realized just how foolish his decision had been!
A hazy, gray world, much like the legendary primordial chaos, without distinction between heaven and earth, without any mountains or rivers, as if one had entered a world just Opening Heaven by the beginning of time. Thunder rumbled and surged in the sky, and countless lightning dragons soared and tumbled in the obscure mist.
This wasn't the Primordial Chaos World; it was the Boom World. Yang Zhen was completely stunned when he entered, his mind a jumbled mess, and he felt a bit sluggish.
The Shameless Cat let out a strange yelp, grabbed Yang Zhen's collar, and said, "Damn it, kid, what kind of hellhole are we in?"
Han Yan'er seemed a little scared, holding Yang Zhen's hand tightly. Yang Zhen patted her hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's just a place that's all its own, nothing to be afraid of."
"No big deal?" the Shameless Cat mercilessly smeared, staring at the surroundings and saying, "Kid, this is a world refined by the Great Saint, almost a Principle of its own. We know nothing about the Principle of Heaven and Earth this place. Do you know how dangerous it is?"
"How dangerous could it be?" Yang Zhen curled his lip. How dangerous could this godforsaken place be? If the Great Saint could survive, why couldn't they?
Seeing Yang Zhen's expression, the Shameless Cat grinned and said, "Don't move, you'd better not move. You don't understand the Principle of Heaven and Earth. If you move, you might be annihilated on the spot."
Yang Zhen plopped down on the ground, his face pale, and exclaimed in astonishment, "So ruthless?"
Seeing that Yang Zhen dared not move, the Shameless Cat breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "Otherwise, why do you think the Nine Dragons Great Saint dared to let nine long worms drag his coffin around? This place is a world unto itself. Whoever the Nine Dragons Great Saint wants to die, must die. There is no room for negotiation. Even if other Great Saint came, it wouldn't work."
"Damn it, does that mean we're doomed?" Yang Zhen glared. "This Nine Dragons Great Saint is too stingy! He won't even let others come to his house as guests?"
The Shameless Cat wore a disdainful expression, looking around at the surroundings and saying, "Boy, this is where the Nine Dragons Great Saint's body is kept. How can we let just anyone come in? If someone with ill intentions damages the Nine Dragons Great Saint's body, then all his preparations over tens of thousands of years will be in vain!"
Yang Zhen was taken aback and glanced at the Shameless Cat in surprise. This troublemaker had finally said something true.
If this were the place where Yang Zhen kept the body, let alone anyone who came in, even a fly would be torn to pieces by Yang Zhen.
This is no joke; all the hard work and effort that led to success could be destroyed in an instant, and then it would be too late to regret it.
The person is dead, where can they go to regret it?
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen gasped, barely daring to breathe, and said to Han Yan'er and the Shameless Cat, "You two be careful. Let me see if I can figure out what's going on here."
Before Shameless Cat and Han Yan'er could speak, Yang Zhen entered a state of enlightenment, his entire being like an old monk in deep meditation, his mind completely immersed in this hazy, gray world.
The Shameless Cat looked at it for a moment and marveled. "Others may not be able to achieve enlightenment once in their lifetime, but this bastard can achieve it casually. This talent... really deserves a beating."
Han Yan'er rolled her eyes at the Shameless Cat and said, "Stop making sarcastic remarks. Hurry up and think about whether you can help. You've lived for so many years, haven't you ever heard of this kind of Principle of Heaven and Earth?"
The Shameless Cat glared at her and said, "What do you know, little girl? Does living longer mean you've seen more? Who can remember so many things? By the time I remember anything, we'll probably all be fertilizer here."
Han Yan'er pouted and simply ignored the jerk who let Shameless Cat down at this crucial moment. She carefully sat cross-legged to the side and began to cultivate.
The Shameless Cat muttered something to itself, then lay down beside her. Just as it was about to bury its head under its paws, it suddenly shuddered and stared wide-eyed at Han Yan'er.
Han Yan'er exuded a strange aura. With each breath, she seemed to be in harmony with the natural Heavenly Dao, and she was even able to draw upon Yang Zhen's aura.
Before long, Yang Zhen also began to exude this aura.
"No, Kid Yang isn't cultivating right now, so why is this chaotic aura emanating from him?" The Shameless Cat walked up to Han Yan'er Han Yan'er, looking her over as it went, then frowned and suddenly exclaimed, "Chaotic aura?"
Seeing the aura emanating from Han Yan'er, the Shameless Cat was struck dumb, staring blankly at the swirling, chaotic energy around him. He rubbed his hands together excitedly and exclaimed, "Damn it, Kid Yang and that Little Dao Addict are too lucky! They actually refined a wisp of chaotic energy here, and Han Yan'er actually touched it!"
At this point, the Shameless Cat looked at him strangely and muttered, "Now Nine Dragons is going to cry. Although we don't know where he got a wisp of chaotic energy from and actually refined it into the coffin world, if this continues, before Nine Dragons wakes up, this wisp of chaotic energy might be refined by Han Yan'er."
The Shameless Cat circled around Han Yan'er and Yang Zhen excitedly, its face full of complicated expressions.
It's hard to imagine that a cat's face could display such complex and human-like emotions; one can only imagine how strange the Shameless Cat's mind must be at that moment.
Yang Zhen wasn't cultivating; his entire mind was immersed in the world of the coffin, and he probably wouldn't wake up for a while. Han Yan'er had unintentionally touched the Qi of Chaos, so it was unlikely she would wake up now. The Shameless Cat, bored out of its mind, lay down and fell asleep next to Yang Zhen.
After an unknown amount of time, with each breath the Shameless Cat took, a faint roar of dragons could be heard, as if the power of Nine Dragons was contained within its body.
The Qi of Chaos around Han Yan'er grew increasingly dense, and her face turned somewhat pale. She seemed to be aware of this power and was forcibly refining it, though she appeared to be struggling.
Yang Zhen seemed completely unaffected; no, he was like a dead man, even his breathing became extremely slow. If you didn't stare intently at Yang Zhen for a long time, you wouldn't be able to feel Yang Zhen breathing at all.
The thunder roared and raged in mid-air, and amidst the turbulent winds and clouds, fierce gusts of wind swept past, whipping Yang Zhen's clothes and making his hair flutter wildly.
As time went by, the wind in the air grew stronger and stronger. Caught off guard, the Shameless Cat was blown far away and woke up with a start. It opened its eyes and looked around in a daze. When its gaze fell on Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen suddenly shuddered, as if it was about to come to its senses.
roar--!
A deafening roar echoed, and the entire world seemed to burst into flames. In the chaotic sky, a colossal black shadow loomed in and out of sight, making the Shameless Cat shudder and its fur stand on end.
"Damn it, kid, wake up! What the hell is this thing?"
roar--!
Another deafening roar echoed through the universe, and a massive black shadow descended from the sky, charging towards Yang Zhen and the others with a world-destroying force.
The Shameless Cat, pale-faced, stared at the dark shadow that blotted out the sky in mid-air, and cursed wildly, "Nine Dragons, you damned bastard! How can you just seal this thing in like that? We're finished, we're really done for."
"What is this?" Yang Zhen opened his eyes, looking at the huge creature in mid-air with curiosity, and asked without turning his head.
" Heaven-Swallowing Hou! It's Heaven-Swallowing Hou! We're doomed, kid, we're going to be eaten!" The Shameless Cat muttered to himself, his face pale. "Damn it, I wonder if this fur of mine will be easy to digest."
Yang Zhen was taken aback, then turned to the Shameless Cat and asked, "Which is more powerful, the Heaven-Swallowing Hou or the Chiding Dragon?"
The Shameless Cat glanced at Yang Zhen and said, "It's obvious, even Chiding Dragon will have to run after seeing the Heaven-Swallowing Hou!"
