Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes Chapter 1278

Chapter 1278: Chapter 1203: Even the Heavenly King Cannot Take It Away! Chapter 1278: Chapter 1203: Even the Heavenly King Cannot Take It Away! Yang Zhen wasn't exaggerating–the Mountain and River Elder really suddenly exhibited a burst of vitality, even his complexion improved greatly.

What else could this be if not a resurgence of energy?

The people around them were also looking at the Mountain and River Elder in shock, seemingly agreeing with Yang Zhen that this was indeed a resurgence of energy.

Seeing a person who was on his deathbed suddenly rejuvenate so much was truly frightening.

A bitter smile appeared on the face of the Mountain and River Elder, but soon his expression relaxed, and he laughed heartily, “Being able to fight alongside Brother Yang marks a perfect end to my life. I have not lived in vain. Actually… this is a resurgence, right? This battle will be my last one, hoping, as you said, to have a full assurance in refining the Annihilation Heavenly Pouch.”

Upon hearing the Mountain and River Elder's words, everyone around revealed a sighing expression.

When a man is near death, his words are good. This saying wasn't merely for saying; at this moment, the Mountain and River Elder's aura soared unexpectedly, his realm advanced significantly–though he hadn't broken into the Emperor Realm yet, he was already much more formidable than the Saint Sovereign Realm, just like Saintess Tianxuan.

Yang Zhen watched in amazement. Once human practitioners opened their minds, they really could unleash potential that couldn't ordinarily be accessed.

This time, Mountain and River Elder could be said to have heard the Dao in the morning and could die in the evening contented.

Elder Huang, standing beside him, displayed a complex expression. He walked up to Mountain and River Elder, patted his shoulder, and said, “We old men have competed all our lives. I didn't expect that in the end, it's you who opened your mind first, advancing dramatically in your realm–an event that should be celebrated, but unexpectedly…”
He almost couldn't continue speaking; the rabbit dies and the fox grieves. Seeing a lifelong rival about to vanish from the world was somewhat distressing.

The crowd around quietly watched the Mountain and River Elder, all affected by his openness.

Mountain and River Elder smiled and shook his head, “I have practiced and competed all my life, but in the end, what aging, sickness, and death take away are only the openness and realization before dying…”
After pausing for a moment, Mountain and River Elder looked up at the sky with a longing expression and murmured to himself, “I wonder if there are higher realms beyond the Emperor Realm. Can all beings really not contend with heaven and earth? The pursuit of eternal life, existing since the Barbaric Era, has no clarity to this day, whether it is possible or not. People in the past blindly pursued it, and it is still the same nowadays. Maybe far in the future, all beings will still be pursuing immortality tirelessly.”

After he finished speaking, everyone around already felt melancholic.

Such an open-minded old man was about to die; many were unwilling to part with him.

To have known such a man and verify together must, people believed, enable them to comprehend the universe on a deeper level.

“Dao friend Mountain and River…”
“Old friend Mountain and River…”
“Elder Mountain and River…”
People hesitated to speak, collectively stepping forward, looking at Mountain and River Elder with sigh-filled eyes.

Mountain and River Elder laughed heartily, addressing Yang Zhen, “What are we waiting for, young friend? In a moment more, I fear I won't be able to help you intimidate that demon seed. Now that the demon seed is about to emerge, let me see firsthand what qualifies it to strike terror into everyone!”

As he spoke, a terrifying aura burst forth from Mountain and River Elder, with wild winds rising to the sky, the mountain and river roared, and a surge of towering Taoist Feeling condensed in midair. The whole person seemed to enter another realm.

Under all eyes, Mountain and River Elder took a deep breath, laughed heartily, and said, “Let my last battle be even more thrilling. Demon seed–it turns out I am to battle a demon seed to the death.”

Again, people hesitated to speak, many emotional men and women began to shed tears, unable to bear witnessing this lonely figure.

Beside him, Han Yan'er approached Yang Zhen and said softly, “This old man has not had an easy life.”

Yang Zhen looked at Han Yan'er with a peculiar expression and asked, “Why do you say that?”

Han Yan'er smiled and responded, “Following the path of cultivation, complying with the Heavenly Way is merely a mediocre life forced upon us. Such a vast life ends up as wasted, Yang Zhen, tell me… can we truly not leap beyond the laws of Heaven and Earth?”

Hearing Han Yan'er's words, Yang Zhen wore a strange expression on his face and stared at her, “Have you felt something?”

Han Yan'er trembled, and after a long while, she finally spoke, “That aura, it seems like it could influence my mind.”

A solemn look briefly crossed Yang Zhen's face as he realized she was referring to the aura of that giant bird attached to the stars in the Divine Consciousness Space, not expecting it to have affected Han Yan'er to such an extent.

Observing the expression on Han Yan'er's face, Yang Zhen clearly felt that due to Mountain and River Elder's impending death, she had entered into a peculiar state.

For Han Yan'er, this state was a double-edged sword; if she could integrate her understanding and open her mind, her Taoist Feeling would grow leaps and bounds. However, if she became mired in it, she might develop a demonic affliction of the mind.

Such a demonic affliction, related to Heaven and Earth, is nearly impossible to resolve, as no one has ever truly leaped beyond the order of Heaven and Earth.

Damn, this is problematic.

Yang Zhen took Han Yan'er's hand, looking into her eyes with a grin, “I am here!”

“I am here!”

Hearing these simple words, Han Yan'er trembled sharply, gratitude flashing in her eyes as she shook her head, “I know, with you here, I can be at ease, but…”

Yang Zhen pinched Han Yan'er's nose and said solemnly, “There are no buts. You little Taoist, Han Yan'er, since I have entered the path, as my woman, I say, with me here, you won't have any problem at all, not even a little.”

Han Yan'er stared blankly at Yang Zhen, mouth agape, unable to utter a word.

Clearly, Han Yan'er had something unsaid; related to the Heavenly demonic affliction, how could Yang Zhen solve it?

In the moment of Han Yan'er's hesitation, Yang Zhen suddenly burst into laughter, releasing Han Yan'er's hand and turning to the silhouette of Mountain and River Elder, saying, “I must say, you old coot, you are really fortunate. Normally, birth, aging, sickness, and death are the affairs of the Heavenly order, and Sao Saint doesn't have the energy to manage so many people, but…”

Yang Zhen turned back, grinning at Han Yan'er, looking into her eyes, and continued, “But… for some reasons, Sao Saint suddenly doesn't want to let you die.”

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone present was shocked, all staring at Yang Zhen with astonished faces.

Such bold words, not wanting to let Mountain and River Elder die?

If merely saying those words could prevent Mountain and River Elder's death, then everyone could claim Mountain and River Elder sent away a whole family from the Barbaric Era.

How could that be possible!

Mountain and River Elder trembled, turning to look at Yang Zhen with a complicated expression, his voice hoarse, “Young friend Yang, what do you mean by that?”

Bringing hope amid despair, if Yang Zhen was merely speaking without the capacity to act, Mountain and River Elder could almost instantly collapse, struggling even to live until the demonic enemy appeared, let alone fight in life and death battles.

The atmosphere became incredibly tense, yet Yang Zhen was increasingly relaxed, waving his hand and stating, “I said… if Sao Saint doesn't want you dead, not even the Heavenly Kings can take you!”

Boom!

The skies roared with thunder, a manifestation of Yang Zhen having incited the heavens.
