Chapter 1319: Chapter 1344: Who are you? Chapter 1319: Chapter 1344: Who are you? The Nine Dragons Saint was terrified. As he watched Yang Zhen summon a force of Void Power with a mere swing of his hand, who could withstand the chilling aura that followed?
The Nine Dragons Saint's eyes nearly popped out of his skull, his face flickering with uncertain awe as he stared at Yang Zhen and asked with deadly seriousness, “Kid, can you truly control Void Power?”
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, “Of course not.”
Hearing this, the Nine Dragons Saint, the cheeky cat, and the saucy chicken all breathed a sigh of relief, and even the Heaven Devouring Beast beneath them seemed to relax.
Yang Zhen glared at the bunch and demanded, “What's the meaning of this? You're all happy because I, the Sao Saint, can't grasp Void Power?”
The Nine Dragons Saint gave a wry smile and explained, “It's not happiness; it's just hard to accept. For so many years, countless people have tirelessly sought Void Power. Facing the Void World, countless great emperors have either perished or sustained injuries. If someone, or any creature for that matter, could control Void Power, wouldn't they be able to transcend and dominate the world?”
The cheeky cat didn't speak but frantically nodded along, his face registering complete astonishment.
“Shit, it's good you can't control Void Power, kid. Otherwise, wouldn't all of us have lived in vain? They say Void Power is uncontrollable. If it were to be controlled, I'm afraid the divine punishment would descend upon us again.”
Yang Zhen looked confused and asked, “So controlling Void Power allows one to break free from the world's control, rendering them immune to divine punishment, right? Then why would a heavenly calamity even come?”
The cheeky cat rolled its eyes at Yang Zhen and retorted, “The heavens can't control this person's fate, sure, but if the whole world is destroyed, can this person still survive? Surely they can't just float in the void forever.”
Oh, can it work like that?
Yang Zhen's face lit up with sudden understanding, and he then turned fancifully curious, “What do you think? Could it be that the last divine punishment happened because someone had controlled Void Power, and it was trying to destroy you guys?”
Boom!
An earth-shattering rumble came from above, with dark clouds tumbling and terrifying ethereal laws rushing towards them, scaring Yang Zhen into hastily ducking his head and cursing, “Damn it, I was just guessing! What's with the overreaction?”
As the terrifying celestial phenomena began to coalesce, the Nine Dragons Saint and others nearly rushed over to shut Yang Zhen up.
The cheeky cat was dumbfounded, muttering to Yang Zhen, “Damn it, kid, I think I just stumbled upon a terrible secret!”
The Nine Dragons Saint sharply inhaled, his face set with a grave look at Yang Zhen.
The Golden Crow was even more shocked; this flamboyant creature was completely stunned.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying waves of energy erupted in the sky, and the Heaven Devouring Beast, startled, zipped away at a breakneck speed, clearly spooked.
The pursuers' faces lit up with ecstasy at the sight of the celestial phenomena in the sky.
Especially Chen Xiaotian, who laughed heartily and proclaimed loudly, “You scoundrel, evil begets evil. Such an aura seems like divine punishment. You've really brought this on yourse… Huh? How did it disappear?”
The fearsome presence in the sky arrived quickly but dissipated just as fast, leaving Chen Xiaotian utterly befuddled, as he hurriedly urged his scorpion forward, chasing in the direction Yang Zhen vanished.
The scorpion, not being a living creature, had nothing to fear from divine punishment; it charged forward unafraid, as long as Chen Xiaotian lived.
But the Sky-splitting Bull was a bit more cowardly, mooing desperately, which irritated the old woman into stomping and cursing.
“What in the world did this damned kid do to provoke such a terrifying divine punishment?”
The Empress's eyes flickered with an uncertain and apprehensive glint as she leaped off the Gale Bull and said, “Granny, the Demon Pattern Origin is crucial. I'll go ahead first. You can follow later. If you lose the trail, it's very likely Yang Zhen will head straight back to the Tri-Floral Sanctuary.”
“Back to the Tri-Floral Sanctuary?” Granny's face showed a hint of surprise as she exclaimed, “Under these circumstances, does Yang Zhen dare to go straight back to the Tri-Floral Sanctuary?”
The Empress nodded and, glancing at the Heaven Devouring Beast that was about to vanish, said, “Others may not dare, but he definitely will.”
Thinking of Yang Zhen's character, everyone felt a chill in their hearts and said in unison, “The Tri-Floral Sanctuary!”
Yang Zhen would surely return to the midst of the Tri-Floral Sanctuary. In fact, if there hadn't been so many people, he might not have chosen to flee at all, considering Yang Zhen even dared to rob the Quanyang Demon Emperor.
After the Su Emperor Palace Empress had spoken, a streak of golden light suddenly flashed across her body, and she transformed into a meteor-like figure, chasing after Yang Zhen at a speed even faster than the Gale Bull.
On the back of the Gale Bull, Granny's face revealed a satisfied expression as she grinned and said, “The Empress's Heavenly Movement Technique has been cultivated to such an extent.”
Heavenly Movement Technique!
A golden aura suddenly transformed into the shape of a phoenix around the Empress. In an instant she shot past Chen Xiaotian like a meteor, continuing her pursuit of Yang Zhen.
Chen Xiaotian's eyes were about to split with rage as he pointed at the Empress who sped past him and demanded, “Who is this person?”
A group of people looked at one another, perplexed. How could they recognize this person?
Let alone recognizing her, the group had just emerged from the Demon Domain and hadn't even heard of such a person.
The Empress, who came and went quietly in the Su Emperor Palace and even in Slug Shore Mountain, was always by Granny's side without revealing a trace of her presence. How could they have possibly noticed her?
“A bunch of good-for-nothings, chase after her!”
Chen Xiaotian roared in anger, and as the aura around him surged tumultuously, the sky scorpion roared upward, its speed increasing yet again.
But they couldn't catch up!
Even though the sky scorpion had raised its neck and howled several times, it still couldn't match the Empress's speed.
As the Empress disappeared into the horizon, all Chen Xiaotian and his group could do was to anxiously watch on.
The Heavenly Movement Technique, a precious and formidable martial skill of the Su Emperor Palace, was fast as lightning. It didn't take long before it caught up with Yang Zhen.
The Heaven Devouring Beast, sensing the Empress's approach, turned its head and bellowed a warning.
Yang Zhen and the Nine Dragons Saint looked at each other, both baffled by the Empress who dared to come alone.
The cheap cat widened its eyes and meowed, “She's come by herself? And she's just at the Saint Sovereign Realm? Isn't this girl a little too bold?”
The four of them watched the Empress land on the back of the Heaven Devouring Beast, exchanging confused glances and feeling completely bewildered.
Yang Zhen stood up and patted his buttocks, his face full of curiosity as he asked, “Who are you?”
Clearly hesitating over how to begin, the Empress suddenly paused, her frustration evident.
Yang Zhen didn't recognize her?
He had…no impression of her at all?
