Translator: 549690339
Nobody expected that Hua Youyue would choose to defy the heavens and change her fate at such a moment, completely ignoring the threat of Gu
Langyun.
Was this stubbornness to an obstinate degree, or trust in Yang Zhen?
It was understood that under these circumstances, once Yang Zhen was unable to withstand Gu Langyun’s attack, or if Hua Youyue’s defiance of heaven was even a little late in succeeding, both of them would almost certainly die there. The storage rings on Yang Zhen could likely be captured by Gu Langyun. Moreover, Hua Youyue hadn’t informed anyone beforehand. Clearly, she had suddenly changed her mind. It was not a simple desire to repair her spirit root. She would rather risk defying the heavens and changing her fate.
The Flower Spirit Girl, once reigning supreme on the Spirit Road, was indeed extraordinary. Her courage and decisiveness left most of the present practitioners in awe.
Yang Zhen surprisingly delivered on the expectations, slapping Gu Langyun, who had reached the Divine Travel Realm, sending him flying and leaving him armless. Nobody knew where Gu Langyun was or whether he was alive or dead -perhaps only Yang Zhen could guess some of it.
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming looked at Hua Youyue in shock. They both glanced at each other before giving Yang Zhen a deep look.
Clearly, Hua Youyue trusted Yang Zhen enough that she was even willing to entrust him with her life. She resolutely chose to defy the heavens and alter her fate despite Gu Langyun watching her every move.
This…
just what kind of an anomaly was Yang Zhen to make Hua Youyue, who had once been betrayed by her companions, willingly go to such lengths?
Before they could figure it out, they suddenly saw a change in Hua Youyue’s complexion as she let out a muffled groan, appearing somewhat astonished and panic-stricken.
At this moment, the Sao Saint suddenly jumped onto Yang Zhen’s shoulder and said seriously, “Kid, it’s all on you now. Although defying the heavens and changing fate is not impossible, the pain and difficulties are enough to make a person break down several times. Whether the little miss can endure this depends on if you can protect her newly formed spirit root!
Yang Zhen nodded, glancing at Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming.
The two looked bewildered. After exchanging glances, they reluctantly stepped back. Although not reconciled, they knew Yang Zhen was about to do something important and did not want to disturb him.
After Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming retreated, a wave of boundless True Essence burst from Yang Zhen. In an instant, it enveloped the surroundings, powerful and dense, stirring up a sense of shock and astonishment among the crowd. Ye Zhiming’s eyes widened as he involuntarily swore, “Has this guy gone mad? As a Nascent Soul Stage practitioner, isn’t he going to empty himself by releasing so much True Essence? How is he going to protect Hua Youyue later?” Bai Xuan glanced at Ye Zhiming and spoke unhurriedly, “Do you think a typical Nascent Soul Stage practitioner could’ve slapped Gu Langyun and tear off his arm?”
■’But… this…” Ye Zhiming was clearly at a loss.
Even he, who was at the same Divine Travel Stage, couldn’t do that, let alone a typical Nascent Soul Stage practitioner. He’s more likely to be slapped by Gu Langyun, who’s reached the Divine Travel Realm. Thinking of this, the shock in Ye Zhiming’s heart was self-evident; his own Yin Shadow nearly covered the entire area.
‘■It’S the inscription of talent and spirit!” Bai Xuan suddenly exclaimed, looking
at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
Ye Zhiming yelped in surprise at the sight of the obscure golden inscriptions in the sky, his eyes bulging and muttered to himself, “It really is the inscription of talent and spirit. What doesn’t this guy know? And his spiritual consciousness. Holy shit, spiritual consciousness?”
This time Ye Zhiming was genuinely shocked. He and Bai Xuan were also unusual; not long after their return from the Spirit Road, they had opened their spiritual spaces and launched their sea of knowledge, now able to use a little bit of spiritual consciousness power.
But the spiritual consciousness power that Yang Zhen was now manifesting was raging like a tide, paired with the terrifying inscription of talent and spirit in the sky, causing frequent celestial phenomena.
■■What on earth is he trying to do?” Bai Xuan was dumbfounded, his expression no better than Ye Zhiming’s.
At this moment, Yang Zhen suddenly shouted and his hands rapidly switched between seals at a speed that was too fast for others to see clearly. The energy fluctuations surged, and the inscriptions and spiritual consciousness in the sky immediately condensed into various crucial points of the array formation, scattering everywhere.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With a series of muffled sounds, a fog-like presence gradually rose around
Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue.
“Array formation!”
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming both exclaimed in surprise, watching in disbelief what was happening in front of them.
For the sake of protecting Hua Youyue, Yang Zhen had expended such an enormous amount of True Essence, and even talent and spirit inscriptions along with spiritual consciousness, to set up an array.
Could it be that Gu Langyun wasn’t dead?
But even if he wasn’t dead, Gu Langyun had lost an arm, his sword and storage ring had been taken by that scoundrel cat, what threat could he still pose? For a moment, everyone thought that Yang Zhen was being overly cautious. Altering destiny wasn’t something that could be done in an instant, and with Yang Zhen consuming such a large amount of True Essence, who knew when he’d fully recover?
Forget Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming, even the others noticed that when the formation was activated, Yang Zhen’s face betrayed his exhaustion. Clearly, setting up this formation was a heavy burden for him.
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming shared a glance, and both assumed defensive stances at the edge of the formation.
No one noticed that by the time the formation was completely activated, Yang Zhen had lively recovered, and he and the cat, holding a bunch of large and small formation disks they’d procured from who knows where, were hurling them in all directions.
“Boy, enough’s enough, all these formation disks, it’s a bit of a waste!” “What’s there to waste or not waste about these things? What if they come in handy, it’d be much riskier if we put too few in. Throw, throw them all into the formation, I can’t shake this unsettled feeling.”
Yang Zhen’s uneasiness was enough to startle the scoundrel cat into action, and it quickly hid its distressed expression and, with a pained face, even took out some disks from its own necklace and flung them all around.
Boom boom boom!
Terrifying formation fluctuations were transmitted, with True Essence from hundreds of feet around all surging toward them.
The Tribulation Cloud in the sky was getting thicker, giving everyone present a hair-raising feeling.
Yang Zhen looked up, touched Hua Youyue’s forehead with his finger, and the Golden Lotus Heavenly Fire instantly enveloped Hua Youyue’s freshly re-solidified Spirit Root.
Upon seeing Hua Youyue’s re-solidified Spirit Root, even Yang Zhen was taken aback.
This lass was really bold. Such a large Spirit Root, could she bear it?
This…
It was almost a third of the size of Yang Zhen’s and was a whole size larger than her previous Spirit Root.
At that moment, a thunderous explosion resounded in the air, among the rolling dark clouds, waves of dreadful heavenly might descended. Everyone was frightened and hurriedly retreated into the distance. Even Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming, who were originally guarding the two, sprinted into the distance.
“Darn it, it’s really a heavenly tribulation. What kind of Spirit Root has the Flower Spirit Girl condensed?” Ye Zhiming’s face was one of utter horror. Bai Xuan bitterly shook his head and said, “In any case, it’s not an ordinary Spirit Root. This… Both the Flower Spirit Girl and Yang Zhen are truly madness personified!”
Boom!
An earth-shattering thunderous roar ripped the air. The intimidating heavenly might caused the color of the heavens and earth to change, leaving everyone feeling terrified.
At this moment, Yang Zhen’s loud laughter came from the formation, “Lass, concentrate on condensing your Spirit Root. This damed heavenly tribulation, this Sao Saint will block it for ya!” Everyone was astonished. Was Yang Zhen really going to block the heavenly tribulation for Hua Youyue? Wasn’t he overestimating his abilities? Before anyone could recover from the shock, the scoundrel cat suddenly screeched, “Holy shit, what did you do? The heavenly tribulation seems to be aimed at you!”
■■What?” Yang Zhen’s face was one of bewilderment, he cursed, “Damn, why’s it coming after this Sao Saint? Picking on an honest person?”
What?
The surrounding crowd was dumbstruck. The heavenly tribulation was indeed triggered by Hua Youyue, but why had it forsaken her and turned towards Yang Zhen?
What…. What kind of monstrous act had Yang Zhen committed?
