Chapter 500: 506: Ksitigarbha Skill! Mountain Moving! (Part 1)
Bullshit, of course they’re running away. If they don’t run now, will they find a chance to run later?
What is this place?
Within the boundaries of the Wilderness Heavenly Offering, everyone’s powers were limited, and Yang Zhen noticed something quite clear. The limitations here weren’t like those placed on some practitioners – the more powerful the practitioner, the greater the limitation.
It was quite the opposite. The stronger your power was, the less the limitation affected you.
Among the crowd, only Lu Tianwei and Ji Yourong from the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain were powerful, young practitioners who had reached the Mahayana Phase. It was indeed quite terrifying.
But from Yang Zhen’s point of view, these two were no different from forced-fed ducks. They had not even reached the Celestial Being Realm, but had stormed their way to the Mahayana Phase. It was like they had learned to run before they even learned to walk.
They’re going to trip and fall!
Little did Yang Zhen know, the majority of practitioners didn’t even have the chance to reach the Celestial Being Realm. Those who could were undoubtedly the most gifted.
The Celestial Being Realm was hard to reach. If your cultivation was already there, can you really hold it back?
Not everyone had Yang Zhen’s kind of determination that’s even harsher on himself than on others.
“Damn it, run, run fast. This black puppet at the Divine Transformation Stage is much stronger than that black demon – these people trying to kill it with just an Italian cannon… they’re simply… they’re simply dreaming!”
As Yang Zhen ran and looked back, seeing the black puppet appear amidst the crowd with a mighty sound, he shivered. This feeling… was certainly bizarre.
On the other hand, the mischievous cat seemed indifferent. It seemed that if Yang Zhen decided to make a run for it, nothing could stop him!
“What’s ‘an Italian cannon’? Isn’t it two?” The mischievous cat took a glance back and almost popped his eyes out. “Goodness, that Lu guy is screwed!”
Yang Zhen was startled and looked at the mischievous cat suspiciously: “Tell me the truth, did you travel through time to get here?”
“Travel through time?” The cat was visibly stunned: “What does ‘travel through time’ mean?”
Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but continued his strange questioning: “How do you know what ‘screwed’ means?”
“Well, I learned it from you!”
“When have I ever used that word?”
“It was a night dark and windy, and the sun was shining brightly”
“Get lost!”
“Holy crap, run. The sky is falling!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! —
No one knew what happened in the crowd, but the sounds of an earthquake filled the air. The entire universe seemed to be trembling, making Yang Zhen’s heart race, and prompting him to run faster.
The puppet at the Divine Transformation Stage was indeed fearsome!
In no time, Yang Zhen had broken through the boundaries of Wilderness Heavenly Offering and entered into the Mobei Abyss. The Sealed Land was still there, but as the legends had predicted, the Death Zys had disappeared.
“They’re really gone?”
With a look of regret on his face, Yang Zhen said: “What a pity. If I’d known, I would’ve sneaked in earlier and sucked all those Death Zys dry.”
The mischievous cat sneered and replied: “Oh, come on. Even if the Death Zys were still here, would you really suck them up? All they bring is external power. The more you drink, the more it’ll affect you.”
Yang Zhen stared at the mischievous cat, a puzzled look on his face. “You seem to know me better and better!”
“Of course!” The cat grinned smugly.
Yang Zhen chuckled, puzzling the cat. “What… what are you planning to do?”
“Since you’re getting to know me better, why don’t you guess what I, Sao Saint, am thinking about right now?”
“Damn it, how am I supposed to know that?”
“If you can’t guess, then forget it!”
Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. This bastard cat seemed to be getting smarter by the day. The longer it stayed awake, the more it seemed to remember from before.
The man and the cat, each taking turns to speak, continued to move forward.
“Hey kid, you don’t think that Ice Block got killed by the black puppet, do you?”
“Why’re you asking about her?” Yang Zhen was puzzled.
“Why am I asking about her? Don’t you have a clue? Haven’t you been sneaking peeks at her?”
“Me?” Yang Zhen grinned and replied: “Which eye of yours saw this ‘Sao Saint’ sneak a peek at her?”
“This one. And, wait, this one too!”
“You damn cat, I’ll poke your bloody eyes out!”
“Dig me up, save me!”
…
The two walked toward the Sealed Land from their memory. Along the way, black puppets were ubiquitous. Yang Zhen was too lazy to waste time with these endless creatures. When they arrived near the Sealed Land, they began to observe the surrounding environment.
…
Ji Yourong stared grimly at the terrifying scene unfolding before her. The powerful Mahayana Phase practitioner, Lu Tianwei, was practically defenseless in front of a Divine Transformation Stage black puppet, and was nearly beaten to death.
Black puppets were no different from fierce beasts, unable to break through the fourth realm. But their physical strength and True Essence were much stronger than that of Lu Tianwei, who was in the Mahayana Phase.
If things continued as they were, Lu Tianwei was almost undoubtedly doomed.
Given the circumstances, nobody paid attention to Yang Zhen anymore. If he had run away, it was no big deal. In fact, since the Divine Transformation Stage black puppet appeared, numerous people had already fled.
However, Ji Yourong couldn’t help but feel a bit depressed. Although she did not want to admit it, she wondered if Yang Zhen, now advancing to the Celestial Being Realm and having once slain a Divine Transformation Stage practitioner, could have turned the tide if he were still here?
At this thought, Ji Yourong let out a bitter smile.
How could that be possible?
Yang Zhen had already left, almost without looking back. Ji Yourong even suspected that Yang Zhen knew beforehand that they might encounter a Divine Transformation Stage black puppet here. He had been putting on a show from the beginning, digging a trap to bury a bunch of people!
This Yang Zhen…
Ji Yourong’s complexion changed continuously. With a low hum, the crescent weapon in her hand suddenly emitted a beautiful glow, aiming at the black puppet.
Boom——!
A startling, earth-shattering noise frightened everyone.
Ji Yourong and Lu Tianwei both fell to the ground simultaneously, sliding back several feet. They exchanged glances amidst the churning energy in their bodies, their faces filled with shock as they looked toward the source of the sound.
A terrifying wave surged straight to the sky, as if to tear open the heavens. A force akin to a vacuum was racing outward in all directions.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, two mountains were slowly revolving in the direction of the noise.
Although they were not large mountains, well… even small mountains were still mountains. Who in the direction of the Sealed Land could… move mountains?
“Ksitigarbha Skill!”
Ji Yourong and Lu Tianwei exclaimed in unison, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Especially Ji Yourong, who instinctively asked, “Did someone else enter the Abandoned Heavenly Ritual too?”
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the crowd, “It’s Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen knows the Ksitigarbha Skill!”
“Yang Zhen?” Ji Yourong shuddered all over.
“Yang Zhen!” Lu Tianwei ground his teeth in rage.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the two slowly rotating hills, their faces full of shock.
Just then, the Divine Transformation Stage black puppet let out a roar and its face twisted with anger. With a loud bang, it caused an explosive gust of energy at the spot, causing rocks to explode.
Seeing the Divine Transformation Stage black puppet rushing toward the two mountains, most of the people were so excited they were almost crying.
Finally, they were safe!
“Yang Zhen, you bastard, run, why don’t you run now?”
“Why does this fellow have such deep resentment?”
“Why, isn’t it true? We were almost killed by Yang Zhen, now he deserves it, right?”
“Hmph, I am truly worried about your intelligence. Do you think that if Yang Zhen were here, with him added to our ranks, we could defeat the black puppet?”
“Well… that…”
“Yang Zhen did it on purpose?” Ji Yourong, shocked, exchanged glances with Lu Tianwei.
“How could it be possible, how could this bastard possibly…”
“He must have done it on purpose. If he knew that his staying here wouldn’t help, he should have known that once he attempted to break the Sealed Land, he would surely attract the black puppet. Moreover, if he had meant to harm us, he would just have to wait for a while and we would all die!”
“Wow… Miss Ji makes a good point!”
Ji Yourong took a deep breath. Amid the crowd’s exclamations, she took off after the black puppet.
“Junior Sister, you… you… are ridiculous!” Lu Tianwei’s face changed continuously.
Behind him, a disciple from the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain hesitated and asked, “Senior Brother, what do we do?”
“Damn it, follow her! Without my permission, no one should show their face. Be ready to retreat at any moment!”
