Chapter 506: 512: Watch Me Break This Game! (Second Update)
Sao Saint, aware that this Sealed Land perfectly complemented Yang Zhen’s Ksitigarbha Skill, had been observing Yang Zhen’s expression. Seeing Yang Zhen’s furrowed brows, Saint enlarged his eyes, “What’s wrong, is there danger?”
The rest also gathered around Yang Zhen. Currently, in the Sealed Land, except for Yang Zhen, everyone was navigating in total darkness and unable to find their way out. If Yang Zhen left quietly at this moment, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
Therefore, even though they tried to act indifferent, they had subtly surrounded Yang Zhen.
It wasn’t that they intended to confront Yang Zhen; they were afraid that he might slip away suddenly.
Yang Zhen was capable of doing such an unscrupulous thing.
At Sao Saint’s words, everyone’s gaze fell on Yang Zhen. Elder Qian’s aura was still in turmoil — clearly, the blow he had sustained from the Black Death Clan’s Divine Transformation Stage puppet had significantly impacted him.
“Yang, what’s so peculiar about this Black Pool?” Elder Qian asked. As the most senior person present, his query had everyone all ears.
There was indeed a kind of power lingering over the Black Pool, but Yang Zhen discovered that this Black Pool was far from simple. It was essentially the nexus of the entire Sealed Land. In other words, the whole Sealed Land was set up to target this Black Pool.
Rather than saying that the Sealed Land was sealed to imprison the altar and Black Death Clan’s fighter at the Divine Transformation Stage, it was more accurate to say it was there to seal the Black Pool.
What on earth was buried under the altar?
Such a grand setup must have been for something valuable.
Yang Zhen’s eyes lit up with anticipation, and he waved away concerns, saying, “Nothing’s wrong, rest assured. With this Sao Saint here, even if there’s anything strange, I can make it go away.”
Everyone cheered, all looking at Yang Zhen eagerly.
They’d done right to come along!
Everyone who had followed Yang Zhen felt they had made the right choice.
Let alone the fact that a race’s heritage was buried beneath the Black Pool, just the power that was present, which could resurrect the deceased, had already got everyone’s eyes popped.
Besides, an entire race’s heritage was at stake here! Who knew how many secret treasures, divine weapons, Cultivation Methods, and Martial Skills were there?
Even if those were scarce, at least there was a way to forge the body, right?
Who wouldn’t want to make their bodies stronger? That way, they could endure a greater quantity of True Essence, and even if they got hurt during a fight, they could persist longer.
In many battles, the one who could hold out till the end was the ultimate victor.
“Yang Zhen, can you really open up this Black Pool?”
“Even if you can open the Black Pool, what about the bizarre air inside it? Lu Qiju was injured and driven to madness by it. What if we go in there, and the air erupts once more, won’t we all go mad?”
This was the question everyone cared about most. As for the Divine Transformation Stage puppet from the Black Death Clan, the crowd didn’t care as much about it at the moment.
There was definitely something strange about the puppet. Otherwise, if they had faced it two times, they would probably have been killed by now.
If the puppet entered the Sacred Domain, it must have had its own mission, or at the very least, something urgent it needed to do.
The danger of facing a Divine Transformation Stage puppet was something they’d have to deal with after the puppet had finished what it needed to do. Who knew how long that would take?
If by the time the puppet had finished, they had all returned loaded with treasure, wouldn’t that be delightful?
Quite a few quick-minded people were already excited at the thought, their hearts filled with contempt for those practitioners who had left out of fear.
Throughout this, everyone’s eyes had never left Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen, of course, didn’t know what these people were thinking. In fact, even if he did, he wouldn’t care because he had found that the Undying Clan had a deep understanding of the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth. To obtain their heritage without any knowledge of the Ksitigarbha and Mysteries of Heaven and Earth was virtually impossible.
Seeing everyone’s eager faces, Yang Zhen laughed heartily, saying “Rest easy, everyone. Sao Saint is very kind-hearted. Since I’ve brought you all here, I will ensure your safety…”
At this point, under Sao Saint’s skeptical gaze, Yang Zhen continued with righteous indignation, “Not only will I ensure everyone’s safety, I will help everyone safely enter the Black Pool and thus the Undying Clan’s heritage site. That way, if that Divine Transformation Stage puppet from the Black Death Clan appears, we can unite and confront it together!”
“Good!”
Elder Qian said with a deep voice, looking around, “Since Young Master Yang has such a clear grasp of the greater good, I will state my terms upfront. If we have to face that Divine Transformation Stage puppet, should anyone flee in the heat of battle, don’t blame my Ancient Spirit Race for being ruthless!”
“My Sha Clan also disdains company with such cowards!” The Sha Clan Elder said with a cold expression.
Lu Tianwei looked at Yang Zhen suspiciously, his eyes filled with doubt, but given his own cultivation level, he couldn’t identify anything unusual in Yang Zhen’s demeanor.
“Heavenly Snow Holy Domain won’t tolerate this either,” Ji Yourong said softly, causing a commotion.
The Heavenly Snow Holy Domain was definitely a major power in the Northern Island. Offending the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain meant one wouldn’t find a place to stay, even if one managed to escape from here alone.
At Ji Yourong’s words, everyone present was taken aback, and they quickly pledged to tackle the Divine Transformation Stage contestant together.
Furthermore, it wasn’t necessarily the case that they would have to confront that terrible thing. What did their current pledge mean?
Yang Zhen was taken aback. He didn’t expect his remarks to cause such a stir, and he felt a bit embarrassed. He decided to truly lead everyone in.
“Everyone, step aside. Watch how Sao Saint breaks the spell!”
Yang Zhen rolled up his sleeves and began to walk towards the Black Pool, under the doubtful gaze of the crowd.
“Master Yang be careful!” Elder Qian shouted softly. His eyes were sharp as he watched Yang Zhen, ready to rescue him at any moment if Yang Zhen were to be hit by the bizarre force.
The rest also showed an anxious expression.
Buzz—!
With every step Yang Zhen took, a wave of black energy would condense in the air above the Black Pool, surging wildly in all directions.
“No good. It’s that energy!”
Everyone felt like they had been struck by lightning, staring at the terrifying sight of the black wave sweeping in.
However, everyone had already studied the range covered by the black wave, and amongst those present, only Yang Zhen had stepped into it.
Everyone’s heart skipped a beat as they saw the black wave enveloping Yang Zhen.
Boom—!
Within the black wave, Yang Zhen swayed slightly, a surprised expression on his face.
The one who could set up such a grand scheme was certainly not ordinary. Despite Yang Zhen’s current mastery of Ksitigarbha and Mysteries of Heaven and Earth, he had still not spotted any signs.
Pat!
A crisp sound rang out, Yang Zhen lifted his foot and took another step in.
Boom rumble—!
The entire Black Pool seemed to boil over, the black water bubbling and roaring like waves in a vast ocean.
Everyone was taken aback, their eyes wide in astonishment as they watched the black pool.
At this moment, Yang Zhen suddenly saw a glint of brightness in front of him, and a smile stretched across his face, “Found you!”
