Chapter 1381: Chapter 1408: When it comes to showing off, I only admire Yang Xiaozi! Chapter 1381: Chapter 1408: When it comes to showing off, I only admire Yang Xiaozi! How did Yang Zhen resist the Black Thunder?
What enabled Yang Zhen to withstand the Black Thunder of the apocalypse?
Upon seeing the apocalyptic thunderclouds actually split apart, a beam of sunlight bathed the entire West Origin Mountain peak, leaving everyone with astonished expressions.
Yet, even more prevalent were looks of bewilderment and confusion.
Everyone knew that Yang Zhen could tear through space and harness Void Power to combat the Black Thunder.
But Yang Zhen had only just mastered Void Power and had utilized it against the Black Thunder during his confrontation with the first bolt.
This fact was clear in the minds of all present, and who among them wasn't a formidable force? It was very clear to everyone just how much fluctuation of Void Power was wrought by Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen plunged into the dark clouds without employing Void Power. Perhaps the Void Power was insufficient to cope with the Black Thunder that rent the heavens and earth or perhaps Yang Zhen couldn't sustain the use of Void Power for long periods or frequent intervals.
In any case, Yang Zhen used Void Power to counter the Black Thunder a single time!
So how did he endure the subsequent Black Apocalyptic Thunder?
Sunlight spread across the land and into the hearts of those gathered, washing away darkness and leaving a sensation of narrow escape from calamity, which evoked endless sighs.
Surviving a stroll through the gates of the underworld, this fellow Yang Zhen was simply too monstrous.
Yet the question remained, how could Yang Zhen withstand an apocalypse that even great emperors found difficult to resist?
The Demon Emperor and the Moon Gazing Old Man exchanged glances, perceiving the curiosities in the surrounding eyes, clearly aware of what everyone was pondering.
This, too, was their own confusion. As they looked at each other, the Demon Emperor humphed softly, then sighed and spoke in a gentle tone, “This apocalypse was not as terrifying as the great calamity of heaven and earth.”
At these words, the Moon Gazing Old Man immediately showed his displeasure, his eyes widening as he objected, “But it's not something ordinary people could easily withstand.”
Indeed, his words held undeniable truth.
After hearing this, sadness tinged the Demon Emperor's face. Looking at the fresh blood on his hands, he said, “Yang Zhen… has been injured!”
What?
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.
Not because Yang Zhen was injured, but because he was merely injured.
Yang Zhen had only been injured by such a terrifying heavenly calamity?
But where had Yang Zhen gone?
Could he have been swept into the void by the Void turbulence?
Every face displayed a mix of shock and uncertainty–some doubtful about how exactly Yang Zhen had accomplished this and others more curious about his current condition.
Hua Youyue stood silently in midair, the sunlight casting a gentle warmth upon her, a woman as soft and peaceful as water, now still as a tranquil lake, inspiring a sense of compassion.
Hua Youyue quietly watched the place where the Void turbulence was gradually dissipating.
The Third Saintess and the Empress of the Su Emperor Palace could no longer hold back. They rushed into midair, arriving beside Hua Youyue, and asked in unison, “Are you alright?”
Hua Youyue turned around, seemingly returning from a reverie, shaking her head and replying, “I'm fine!”
In that instant, it was as if Hua Youyue had once again faced a moment of death, a sensation of hovering on the brink which left her feeling as if in a dream.
Where had Yang Zhen gone?
This thought arose, and suddenly spatial fluctuations followed.
Ptui, ptui, ptui!
It was as if someone mouthed a faceful of dirt, desperately spitting it out.
Hearing this sound, the three women present all exclaimed in joy. The Third Saintess's eyes widened with glee as she cried out, “Yang Zhen!”
Yang Zhen!
The name echoed over the peak of West Origin Mountain.
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's voice, the eyes of all present nearly popped out, their gazes fixed on the spot in midair where the spatial fluctuations were happening, anxious not to miss a single detail of Yang Zhen emerging from the void.
There he was, Yang Zhen, simply appearing before everyone with a wide grin, radiant beyond measure.
The crowd, as if struck by lightning, staggered back, their faces pale and utter astonishment directed at Yang Zhen.
No, this was not just the look one gives to a man–it was the look one gives to a monster.
“What… what is that?”
Muttered someone softly, the others quickly nodding in agreement.
Yes, what we had here was hardly a human being anymore. It was as though any number of other things could have taken its place.
Yang Zhen, bloodsoaked, resembled nothing so much as a skeletal figure without flesh, standing in mid-air, dripping blood with a patter.
“Yang Zhen!”
Hua Youyue cried out in alarm, rushing forward and asking, “Are you alright?”
Yang Zhen turned his head, his face once so handsome it was otherworldly, was now truly ruined. The flesh was gone, leaving nothing but charred remains, so much so that his features were unrecognizable.
If it weren't for the fact that no one among those present could emerge from the void so effortlessly, they might have thought they were seeing things wrong, that the person before them was not Yang Zhen at all.
“Of course… I'm fine now!”
Yang Zhen grinned, as radiantly as ever.
Seeing Yang Zhen still standing resolute despite the blood drenching him, and then seeing him smile so brilliantly, Hua Youyue could no longer contain herself. Tears burst forth like a dam breaking, instantly streaming down her face.
Buzz–
A storm-like surge of energy erupted from Hua Youyue, and the ancient mythical entity appeared before everyone, rushing towards Yang Zhen.
“The ancient mythical entity!”
Moon Gazing Old Man and the Demon Emperor both exclaimed, their expressions filled with shock.
Blast it, the companions of Yang Zhen were no simple characters either. How could something like the ancient mythical entity, which could only exist singularly in the world, be with Hua Youyue?
Seeing Hua Youyue almost at a loss, everyone felt a sour sensation.
How in the world did Yang Zhen do it, to make such a transcendent woman reveal such a state of disarray?
With the appearance of the ancient mythical entity, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, “No need. An injury like this to me is like nothing more than a mosquito bite.”
Scoundrel Cat emerged from the ground and, witnessing this scene, immediately sneered and said, “In terms of showing off, I only acknowledge Yang Xiaozi!”
Almost instantly, everyone's gaze shot towards Scoundrel Cat.
The scoundrel really knew no loyalty, being the first to burrow into the mountain, not even caring about his friends' lives.
Scoundrel Cat glared back and said, “You know nothing. By staying, I would have just been wasting an excellent life; it's better to run away early, so Yang Xiaozi could focus less on me.”
Damned if that didn't make sense!
Everyone wore a look of befuddlement.
At that very moment, an overwhelming blood qi burst forth from Yang Zhen.
“Heaven and Earth's Blood Qi?”
The Demon Emperor cried out in astonishment, then fell silent.
He was used to it.
Moon Gazing Old Man, however, was not accustomed to it. Was Yang Zhen actually planning to use the Heaven and Earth's Blood Qi to refine his body?
What made Yang Zhen capable of enduring the terrifying end-of-the-world tribulation?
It was because of his Bodily Ascension to Saint and the Sky Dipper Sword!
That Yang of years past, with the Star Spring Sword added to the Sky Dipper Sword's Martial Skill, had single-handedly slashed through three hundred and sixty heavenly tribulations in a fury.
Although the end-of-the-world divine punishment was terrifying, capable of annihilating all beings in heaven and earth, Yang Zhen was no weakling; his Ninth Dragon Elephant had reached an unprecedented level of strength.
To kill Yang Zhen might have been simple, but to destroy his body was more difficult than reaching the heavens.
Because not only was Yang Zhen a Bodily Ascended Saint, but he also possessed the seed of the ancient mythical entity!
That little bean sprouting tender shoots in his head was the culmination of all his powers.
Now, it had grown into a being akin to the ancient mythical entity.
That entity was the key to preserving Yang Zhen's life.
Buzz!
A terrifying vitality burst forth from Yang Zhen, startling everyone present.
Even though the Demon Emperor was used to it and Moon Gazing Old Man was not, greed appeared on their faces at that moment.
Such a terrifying life force, no one could resist it!
But… how could this be possible?
Even the ancient mythical entity could not unleash such a life force!
