Chapter 1280: Chapter 1205: What a Grass Digging! Chapter 1280: Chapter 1205: What a Grass Digging! The catastrophic thunderclouds in midair had grown incredibly dense, to the point where they were even more terrifying than the energy of the laws that had erupted moments ago, bolstered by the Heavenly Machine Lock.
Everyone looked on in astonishment at the terrifying cloud layer in midair, their faces filled with bewilderment.
Not even the rebirth of Saintess Tianxuan had triggered such a celestial phenomenon. Yang Zhen was merely seeking to extend someone's life. How could it unleash such terrifying thunder?
Mountain and River Elder was completely baffled, speaking absurdly, “I haven't weathered a calamity in ages. Why is this heavenly tribulation so peculiar?”
“This is not an ordinary heavenly tribulation, but a kind of divine punishment. Mountain and River, what on earth did you do to bring about such punishment?” Elder Huang's face showed incomprehension and, without waiting for the Mountain and River Elder to reply, continued, “Such power, it seems this punishment is extremely terrifying. But you are nearly dead; a punishment like this now, it seems like heaven wants to reclaim you.”
“Nonsense!”
Mountain and River Elder snorted coldly, “I have never experienced heavenly punishment. With cautious prudence, I've even easily overcome heavenly calamities. This punishment must have an unusual source. Perhaps it's not even targeted at me.”
'If not you, then who could it be?” Elder Huang looked dubious and spoke irritably, “Surely it's not aimed at me?”
All faces exhibited astonished expressions; this was divine punishment, not an ordinary heavenly calamity.
Even practitioners of the Saint Sovereign Realm, those who were on the threshold of greater power, could not view divine punishment lightly. After all, the stronger one's cultivation, the more terrifying the heavenly tribulations and punishments one faced.
Particularly with so many powerful figures present, should a chain reaction be provoked, it would lead to widespread death and injury.
All practitioners unrelated to this event ran frantically backward, quickly retreating tens of thousands of feet, all craning their necks toward the horrific scene unfolding before them.
Elder Huang and Mountain and River Elder looked at each other, both clueless as to what was happening, and simultaneously turned their heads toward Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen, while manipulating the array disk, said without even looking up, “Sorry about that, but it seems this divine punishment is targeting this Sao Saint.”
“Targeting you?” Elder Huang and Mountain and River Elder exclaimed, then asked in unison, “Why?”
Why?
Yang Zhen himself would like to know why. It seemed like the heavens had always been against him since he'd first crossed into this world.
But by now, Yang Zhen had come to terms with it. Since the heavens opposed him, he would oppose the heavens. Barefoot, he was not afraid of those with shoes; the ground was not slippery–who would he fear?
Yang Zhen looked up to see the bewildered Elder Huang and Mountain and River Elder, waved his hand, and said, “Don't make such a fuss. What's a little lightning punishment?”
“What's a little?” Elder Huang's eyes bulged. “Young man, this is no ordinary heavenly tribulation but divine punishment. Such things readily claim lives. If you can't withstand it, your soul will be scattered, and it's the end of the line for both life and Dao.”
“Hmm… I know!” Yang Zhen placed the last array disk, then clapped his hands, quite pleased with his handiwork.
“You know and still speak of it in such a cavalier manner?” Elder Huang's face bore a dumbfounded expression, filled with confusion as he watched Yang Zhen.
With Yang Zhen's current strength and age, he might handle a heavenly tribulation with some ease, given his talent. But to regard a divine punishment so casually at such a young age, he was either a calf unafraid of a tiger or completely unaware of divine punishment's horror.
Contemplating this possibility, Elder Huang's face suddenly showed urgency. Just as he was about to explain the terror of divine punishment, Yang Zhen's light words floated over.
“I am no longer tolerated by heaven and earth, what else do you want me to do?”
Damn, this Sao Saint seems to have never weathered a mere heavenly tribulation but has always faced divine punishments. How many times has he gone through that terror, that pain, and the feeling of crying to heaven and earth without any answers? Can't he afford to be a bit nonchalant?
After finishing, Yang Zhen suddenly felt the atmosphere around him turn a bit strange. Looking up, he asked in confusion, “What's with those expressions?”
Seeing Yang Zhen raise his head, Elder Huang and Mountain and River Elder sharply inhaled in unison, both shouting, “Not tolerated by heaven and earth?”
“Yes!”
Yang Zhen stood up and declared, “All right then, bring it on!”
Bring it on?
Bring what on?
The Mountain and River Elder showed a confused look on his face and asked hesitantly while looking at the fearsome heavenly punishment in the sky, “This… Yang Zhen, how confident are you?”
Seeing Yang Zhen's puzzled expression, the Mountain and River Elder quickly explained, “Don't get me wrong, I was already a dying man, and although I now have hope, I don't want to cause you any harm because of it. You're still young, with limitless accomplishments ahead. Don't let a mishap with me affect you.”
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, leapt into the air, and suddenly a dark golden Qi wave burst forth from his body. With a casual wave of his hand, a black and a white Qi wave surged and tumbled through the air, abruptly congealing into a Taiji diagram.
Humm–!
For a moment, heaven and earth changed color. Terrifying Qi waves pulled by the diagram stirred up both the Qi waves from the Heavenly Machine Lock and those erupting from the Demon Sect.
Roar–!
The demon kind seemed to sense the presence of the Taiji, roaring and howling as they became ferocious. Terrifying blood-red Demon Qi burst forth, sweeping towards Yang Zhen.
Below the azure sky, thunder roared angrily, crashing and tumbling like an overturned river. The world itself seemed to become subdued, a dark mass pressing down towards the ground.
Everyone was terrified by the horrific scene before them, their cries of alarm ringing out as they stared at Yang Zhen in shock.
“This Yang Zhen is actually stirring heaven and earth; it's truly inconceivable.”
“Look, the formation set up by Yang Zhen has erupted. Even I can't see through this formation; it seems so natural, giving one a sense of heavenly prohibition.”
“That's the aura of the Ksitigarbha Skill, I didn't expect Yang Zhen to have such a high mastery of it.”
“What of it, though? The heavenly punishment is about to condense, the demon kind is enraged, and there's still no solution for the Heavenly Machine Lock. Under the force of these three terrifying powers, how can Yang Zhen extend the life of Elder Mountain and River?”
“Indeed, it's quite difficult. I must say, Yang Zhen is truly bold and dares to act.”
“Not good, the heavenly punishment is descending.”
“Quick, look! The demon kind has erupted. What is that aura on the demon hand?”
Amid the exclamations, a world-ending bolt of thunder madly crashed down from the sky, aiming for Yang Zhen.
Within the Demon Sect, a sky-covering demon hand burst forth with a terrifying blood-red Qi wave, also slapping toward Yang Zhen.
None present dared to underestimate these two forces, let alone when both erupted simultaneously.
“Yang Zhen, run!” cried the Mountain and River Elder in alarm, as Qi waves churned around him, preparing to rush towards Yang Zhen.
Boom!
The world trembled, and an aura that could destroy heaven and earth swept outwards, with the space around them cracking.
Howl–!
A hysterical wail completely stunned everyone, who looked at each other with blank expressions.
What was that wail about?
It couldn't possibly be Yang Zhen wailing so loudly.
As everyone came to their senses, they were left dumbfounded.
“This is… The thunderous punishment actually struck the demon hand?”
“What kind of… what kind of luck is this?”
“So does this mean Yang Zhen is saved?”
Yang Zhen was also dazed, looking at the demon hand that swiftly retreated with a whoosh, he muttered to himself, “What kind of fluke is this?”
