Chapter 877: Chapter 903: Turn the World Upside Down!
Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the entire Demon Wind Cliff fell into silence.
Xin Hai burst into laughter and, looking at Yang Zhen, said, “Interesting lad, I’m growing fonder of your character. People like you are better suited for the Saint Sect. What do you say, how about giving it some thought?”
Yang Zhen let out a snort. He hadn’t even said anything and this old coot was already trying to poach him.
Although Sao Saint might be unreasonable and full of himself, he wasn’t someone you could win over with just a few words, could he?
Yang Zhen felt contempt in his heart and was about to speak when Xin Hai suddenly revealed a smile that was not quite a smile and, looking at Feng Wuya and others, said, “Is this the way you people act? You say you do it for the sake of the people, yet you do sanctimonious deeds. Do you know how much I’ve sacrificed to refine this Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus? You want to snatch it away so easily; aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by the world?”
At this point, Xin Hai burst into loud laughter and, staring down Feng Wuya and the others, enunciated each word, “Today, even if the strong of the Western Region gather in full force, they won’t be able to stop me from refining the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus!”
Hum——!
A thunderous sound emanated from around Xin Hai as six formation discs, releasing terrifying auras, descended from the sky. After landing on the ground, they grew rapidly in size as the wild auras surged to the heavens, converging midway to form a canopy that enveloped Xin Hai and the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus.
Feng Wuya’s complexion changed as he exclaimed, “World-avoiding Heavenly Garment, Xin Hai, it seems you were not lying. To refine the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus, your Demon Sect really did spare no expense.”
World-avoiding Heavenly Garment—this was the second time Yang Zhen had seen the World-avoiding Heavenly Garment. Compared to the one cast by Hua Youyue, this formation-assisted version was obviously much more powerful.
With the World-avoiding Heavenly Garment in place, Xin Hai could almost do whatever he wanted beneath it, impervious even to the might of heaven, unnoticed in his actions.
Xin Hai laughed heartily, staring at Feng Wuya as he said, “Feng Wuya, I’m quite interested to see how you plan to save the people today!”
Feng Wuya’s face turned a steely blue, but at that moment, he was at a loss for what to do and could only turn his gaze to Yang Zhen.
As Feng Wuya’s gaze settled on him, Xin Hai was momentarily taken aback, looking curiously at Yang Zhen as if only just realizing that he, too, was present. With a smile, he said, “Lad, I’ll be done refining soon, and I’m offering you an opportunity now. Join the Saint Sect and become one of my disciples, or… should I personally sacrifice you to refine the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus?”
Yang Zhen pursed his lips and replied, “Forget it, I’m used to being free and independent. So many sects have tried to recruit me as a disciple on my journey, all of whom I’ve rejected. So you’re not the first, and definitely not the last. There’s no need to be angered into shame. The same goes for before, I want the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus, will you give it or not?”
A round of hearty laughter ensued as Xin Hai’s eyes suddenly turned malevolent, staring at Yang Zhen and saying, “Foolish boy, you have less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. If you do not agree, I have plenty of ways to turn you into a puppet.”
Yang Zhen nodded and said, “The time it takes to drink a cup of tea is already enough.”
Having said that, he began walking around the World-avoiding Heavenly Garment, with a smithing hammer in hand, driving pieces of metal-like objects into the ground, his indifference to the onlookers leaving them dumbstruck.
The guards of the Demon Sect exchanged glances and charged toward Yang Zhen together, only to hear Xin Hai snort coldly and say with a laugh, “Hold on, I’m rather curious to see what this youngster can come up with.”
With the World-avoiding Heavenly Garment in place, Xin Hai clearly was not worried about Yang Zhen stopping him from refining the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus.
The time it takes to drink a cup of tea is a mere moment for these experts, and it quickly passed.
Yang Zhen hammered the last crooked stick into the ground and casually discarded the smithing hammer. He looked at the midair sun and said, “Oh, there’s still some time left. Shall we bargain a bit more?”
Feng Wuya and the others all looked at Yang Zhen with confusion, clearly unable to discern what he was up to.
Xin Hai felt the same, looking bemusedly at the skewed objects on the ground and chuckling, “Lad, could you tell me what these things are?”
“Something that saves humanity!” Yang Zhen clapped his hands together, looked up at Xin Hai, then glanced at the Demon Guards who had clearly lost their minds, and shook his head, “Why must you commit such acts against the heavens? Has the sky eaten your family’s rice? Why do you insist on opposing it?”
Xin Hai shook his head, gave Yang Zhen a meaningful look, and said, “Kid, you don’t understand. When you reach this level of mine, you will realize that what you all incessantly speak of, saving humanity… they are not worthy!”
A light flashed in Yang Zhen’s eyes, he clapped his hands and said, “Coincidentally, I feel the same. So I improved the arrangement, and now it’s not about saving humanity anymore, but instead, it’s about changing the heavens and the earth.”
No sooner had he spoken, Yang Zhen stomped hard on the ground, and around him… there was silence.
Xin Hai’s expression turned grim, then he burst into loud laughter, looking at Yang Zhen mockingly, “Obviously, your method of changing the heavens and earth doesn’t seem to work.”
Yang Zhen did not speak but quietly watched the sun in the sky, murmuring to himself, “It’s time!”
Boom, boom, boom—!
Thudding sounds rose from beneath the ground, rapidly spreading across Demon Wind Cliff. For a moment, the entire land seemed to grow heavy, as the booming sound was incessant, and even the sky joined in with fierce winds blowing, as terrifying waves of Heaven and Earth Qi turned the world upside down in the blink of an eye.
“Kid, what did you do?” Xin Hai’s complexion drastically changed, in just an instant, it seemed as if the entire world of Demon Wind Cliff had been transformed.
Boom!
An earth-shattering roar erupted, Demon Wind Cliff bellowed fiercely, and a wild hurricane appeared out of nowhere, causing everyone to stagger.
Those present had the least cultivation of the Divine Transformation Stage, yet even with such formidable cultivation, they felt almost helpless against this demonic wind.
The wind stirred up clouds and changed the colors of the sky and earth. Demon Wind Cliff shook violently, the ground cracked, and mountains crumbled.
Yang Zhen’s voice came through the hurricane, calm as if he were just whispering to himself, “I did nothing, but merely restored Demon Wind Cliff to its original state.”
Xin Hai’s complexion changed wildly. Within his World-avoiding Heavenly Garment, he was not greatly affected, but he was the one who could see the changes in Demon Wind Cliff most clearly.
After hearing Yang Zhen’s words, Xin Hai snorted coldly, about to speak, when Yang Zhen’s voice came again.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, looked up at the dark as ink Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus with its only remaining hint of white, and said slowly, “There’s one thing you got wrong. Humanity does not lack those worthy of being saved, but there is no one who can save them. Humanity is humanity, struggling to live in the heavens and earth, but if anyone ever tries to destroy them, even the heavens will one day be pierced through by humanity!”
“What!”
Xin Hai’s face changed, looking anxiously towards the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus.
Boom!
Atop the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus, suddenly a burst of dazzling sacred light shot up into the sky.
In the midst of the rolling air waves, it was as if the sound of heavenly music filled the air, with whispers of the heavens and earth echoing to the heavens.
The Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus gradually regained its sanctity, strands of light showering down like rain upon the earth, and gradually, the turmoil in Demon Wind Cliff settled.
Yang Zhen spoke to the dumbstruck and horrified Cheap Cat, “The Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus may not be a Heaven and Earth Treasure for the rejuvenation of a great saint, but it is the stabilizing force of this place. If I’m not wrong, the one in the Saint’s Tomb… has bigger plans!”
What do you think?
