Chapter 1279: Chapter 1204: Thundercloud Roars! Snatching Life from the Heavens! Chapter 1279: Chapter 1204: Thundercloud Roars! Snatching Life from the Heavens! Yang Zhen has truly gone mad.
The Mountain and River Elder was on his deathbed, anyone could see. His lifespan was dwindling to its last moments, and yet, Yang Zhen dared to contend with heaven for a life?
How could this be possible?
Saintess Tianxuan's lifeforce had ceased, but her Spirit Soul still lingered. Utilizing the Yangsheng True Pattern and Yin Que True Pattern, and risking his life using the power of the Heavenly Machine Lock in combination with the crimson Demon Qi to convert it into lifeforce–this had not yet succeeded. Had it not been for Yang Zhen's Heavenly Secrets Reversal Array, Saintess Tianxuan might not have been resurrected successfully.
But Yang Zhen's Heavenly Secrets Reversal Array couldn't transform just any power into lifeforce.
Saintess Tianxuan had prepared for tens of thousands of years, every detail of time and position precisely calculated, and yet, she nearly failed. The Heavenly Secrets Reversal Array was merely a chance, sufficient only for both the Yangsheng and Yin Que True Patterns.
Now that Saintess Tianxuan had departed, the True Patterns, synthesized by her, were not available for the Mountain and River Elder's use even if she hadn't left.
Under these circumstances, Yang Zhen's Heavenly Secrets Reversal Array was utterly ineffective.
For Mountain and River Elder in such a situation, even an Emperor Realm Expert was helpless, let alone Yang Zhen.
Witnessing the terrifying thunderclouds roaring in the sky, Mountain and River Elder revealed a trace of shock on his face, and shaking his head, he bitterly smiled, “Young friend Yang, I ask for nothing in my state; I recognize your abilities are vast, capable of what others cannot achieve. However, my condition is beyond such efforts.”
At this point, a look of despair was evident on his face.
Clearly, Mountain and River Elder held no great expectation for Yang Zhen's words, but… hope is still hope. When Yang Zhen spoke those words, he had already hindered Mountain and River Elder's lifeforce.
Elder Huang's face showed traces of anger as he stared at Yang Zhen, “Yang Zhen, what… what can I say to you? Mountain and River Elder could have still fought bravely, yet you gave him unrealistic hope. He… he… is now utterly unable to aid you in containing the demon species. You better watch yourself.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding people were also filled with indignation, yet Yang Zhen was acting with good intentions, making it hard for them to blame him excessively.
Que Ling came up to Yang Zhen and, lowering her head, said, “Yang Zhen, this action… is really inappropriate; Elder Mountain and River, he…”
Yang Zhen chuckled. Over the years, when had he ever cared about others' opinions?
Seeing a relieved smile on Han Yan'er's face, Yang Zhen chuckled and approached Mountain and River Elder, “Old man, it seems you have some misunderstanding about this Sao Saint.”
Mountain and River Elder had come to terms with it and, smiling, said, “Perhaps, but in my condition, I know clearly that even an emperor-level expert cannot help me.”
The booming sounds of terrifying thunder persisted in the sky.
Yang Zhen, paying no heed to Mountain and River Elder, flipped the heavens the bird and grumbled, “What's all the roaring for? This Sao Saint is merely prolonging a dying man's life; don't be so petty.”
After saying that, Yang Zhen jabbed fiercely and turned to Mountain and River Elder, “Come with me. If this Sao Saint says it can be done, then it can be done. After keeping a low profile for so many years, it's about time for me to show off. Are you really not going to give me face?”
Mountain and River Elder could only respond with a wry smile, eventually shaking his head, “Well, it ultimately comes down to dust returning to dust, earth returning to dirt. If you wish to try, go ahead and try. It'll count as aiding you one last time… What is this?”
At the end of his words, Mountain and River Elder's eyes bulged, and he took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale the object Yang Zhen was presenting.
A dense lifeforce emanated from Yang Zhen's hand, instantly enveloping the area within a hundred paces.
Yang Zhen, grinning broadly, opened his palm, “Ever heard of the seed of the Undying Tree?”
“The seed of the Undying Tree?”
Both Mountain and River Elder and Elder Huang exclaimed together, shooting over to Yang Zhen's side. Perhaps out of overwhelming shock and excitement, they both leaned into Yang Zhen's hand and unexpectedly bumped into each other, almost causing concussions in a loud bang, startling Yang Zhen.
It wasn't that Mountain and River Elder and Elder Huang were unworldly; rather, an Undying Tree was believed to exist only as a singular entity in the entire realm. Who would have thought Yang Zhen would possess the very seed of the Undying Tree?
“In fact, the tree of immortality Yang Zhen possessed wasn't truly the legendary immortality tree, because the real immortality tree had already been given to Hua Youyue. The tree in Yang Zhen's mind was derived from a seed of the original immortality tree and had little to do with it anymore.”
“If it really had to be named, Yang Zhen preferred to call it the Undying Tree!”
“As soon as the name 'Seed of the Immortality Tree' was mentioned, everyone present gasped in unison, their faces revealing expressions of wild joy.”
“Although the seed of the immortality tree could not directly extend the life of the Mountain and River Elder, there was still a way. Whether it could be done depended on how capable Yang Zhen was.”
“It was only then that Mountain and River Elder truly showed a hopeful expression on his face.”
“At this moment, Yang Zhen suddenly frowned and said, 'Shit, this doesn't sound quite accurate. This isn't the seed of the immortality tree.'”
“Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, the Mountain and River Elder almost choked.”
“The rest of the people looked at Yang Zhen with faces full of anger; this was no way to tease someone.”
“But seeing the puzzled expression on Yang Zhen's face, it didn't seem like he was deliberately teasing anyone. This left everyone in a confused daze.”
“With a bitter smile, Mountain and River Elder said, 'Young friend Yang, I am already a dying man. Please don't make me feel extremely anxious.'”
“Yang Zhen was taken aback and explained, 'But this really isn't the seed of the immortality tree. Shall we call it the fruit of the Undying Tree instead?'”
“'Undying Tree's fruit?'” Elder Huang looked surprised and asked, '”What's the difference between the immortality tree and the Undying Tree?'”
“Yang Zhen thought for a moment and said, 'The immortality tree is unique in heaven and earth, but the Undying Tree… I, Sao Saint, can plant as many as I want.'”
“As for effectiveness, the Undying Tree might be slightly inferior to the immortality tree, but this thing can be mass-produced. It even bears fruit; isn't mass production possible?”
“Hearing Yang Zhen's words, the people around instantly gasped.”
“With a hopeful look, Mountain and River Elder asked Yang Zhen, 'Can the seed of this Undying Tree extend my life?'”
“'Yes!'”
“Yang Zhen confirmed.”
“Mountain and River Elder almost jumped up excitedly, but Yang Zhen continued, 'However, just having the fruit alone isn't enough to extend life; other means are necessary.'”
“'Tell me, tell me. Today, I am completely cooperative,'” said Mountain and River Elder, his face flushing with color.”
“Yang Zhen curled his lip and looking askance at Mountain and River Elder said, 'How about you take a walk if you have nothing else to do?'”
“Mountain and River Elder was startled, walked a few steps in confusion, and asked, 'Is… is this how it's done?'”
“Yang Zhen: '…'”
“It looked like Mountain and River Elder was indeed fully cooperative, even if Yang Zhen asked him to jump, he would not hesitate.”
“Boom!”
“Terrifying thunderclouds roared continuously in the sky, especially after Yang Zhen took out the seed of the Undying Tree, it became even more tumultuous.”
“Many practitioners hastily retreated, staring in shock at the sky.”
“Yang Zhen took a deep breath, chuckled, and looking at the sky muttered softly, 'Here comes brother, Sao Saint is going to compete with you for my life; you better cooperate a little.'”
