Chapter 1427: Chapter 1454: Qi Zi! Emperor Aotian! Chapter 1427: Chapter 1454: Qi Zi! Emperor Aotian! In midair, an elder with the presence of an immortal was completely befuddled, his face a picture of confusion. He glanced around, then at Yang Zhen and the Empress of Su Emperor Palace, opened his mouth, but utterly failed to speak a single word.
It was like seeing a ghost. What on earth just happened?
Up to that point, the elder still hadn't come to his senses. Yang Zhen had actually survived–not only had he survived, but he also spoke. Not only did he speak, but he had also returned the Divine Treasure that the Empress of Su Emperor Palace had given him to save his life?
Returning it would be one thing, but Yang Zhen's fate was sealed–he was seeking his own death. Even the Empress of Su Emperor Palace couldn't save Yang Zhen's life, not even the Divine Treasure could save him.
The elder was Emperor Aotian, the great emperor who commanded heavens and earth. Just as he was about to shake his head with a sigh about reaping what one sows, Yang Zhen suddenly said “Scram!”
Scram?
Scram at whom?
This damned boy, daring to tell me to scram?
What followed, to the elder's surprise, was something he had misconstrued.
In midair, the poison miasma that even he felt was tough to handle, was retreating like the tide.
Good heavens, just like the tide–no, like a living tide with a life of its own–it retreated.
Emperor Aotian blinked and his eyes shone like bright stars as he looked at Yang Zhen.
In fact, not just the emperor–all the people present were stunned.
Oh heavens, oh earth, what in the world is happening? Could it be that Yang Zhen really is the darling of heaven and earth?
But Yang Zhen was clearly someone the world wouldn't tolerate, a fact clearer to the granny than anyone else present.
Emperor Aotian didn't know, and even the Empress of Su Emperor Palace was only half-aware, but the granny had made inquiries–Yang Zhen truly was someone the world would not tolerate, for each of his tribulations were heavenly punishments.
My dear lord, a person who faces heavenly punishment every tribulation yet claims to be the darling of heaven and earth.
Your dad clearly wants to kill you.
Yet despite that, the overwhelming poison miasma had completely vanished.
The entrance to the God & Demon Ruins lay bare for all to see.
It was just a pit, an unassuming pit, one that looked as if it had been dug out by a common mortal with a hoe, left there in all its solitary glory.
Yet even so, no one dared to approach lightly.
The crowd didn't have Yang Zhen's incredible ability to command the skies, where a single word could drive back the encompassing poison miasma.
If this man isn't the darling of heaven and earth, he must be the darling of gods and demons, right?
Granny opened her mouth to speak when, beside her, an elder with glowing eyes whispered, “Granny, should we follow him in?”
Hearing this, Granny almost executed a Divine Dragon tail whip, nearly kicking the old man flying.
People forget the pain once the wound heals, but seeing Yang Zhen dispel the miasma with a single word makes you think you're strong enough to compete with him?
Didn't you see that even Emperor Aotian up there is still in a daze, his hard-earned dominion over the world now back to square one?
What do you call this?
This is a total flop!
Yang Zhen's miraculous maneuver actually made a great emperor waste half a month's effort.
And this emperor looked only shocked and confused, not furious. Furthermore, the way his eyes sparkled was like looking at a beloved disciple.
Wait a second, what did this emperor say before?
If Yang Zhen appeared a bit more composed, he might reluctantly take him on as a disciple.
Now, with a single word from Yang Zhen dispersing the miasma, it was clear the emperor was seriously considering taking him as a disciple.
Just as everyone harbored their own thoughts, Yang Zhen suddenly waved to the Empress of the Su Emperor Palace and said, “What are you standing around for? The entrance to the divine ruins has opened. Let's hurry in.”
“Ah?” The Empress of the Su Emperor Palace quickly snapped to attention and hurried over to Yang Zhen's side with a strange expression on her face and asked, “How on earth did you do that?”
Hearing this, everyone on site pricked up their ears, especially the Emperor floating in mid-air. He no longer bothered with refining heaven and earth, but instead leaped over to Yang Zhen's side, staring at him and demanding, “Yes, how did you do it?”
Yang Zhen glanced around and saw the ravenous looks in the eyes of those around him, as if without an explanation, in the next second, they would pounce on him and gnaw him down to the bone.
After taking a deep breath, Yang Zhen turned to the Emperor, looked at his ears, and commented, “Fellow, those are some unique ears you have. The legendary big ears that attract wind?”
“None of your business what ears I have–tell me, how did you do it?” The Emperor glared, nearly slapping Yang Zhen and sending him flying.
Yang Zhen sighed and said, “Initially I intended to negotiate with them in good faith, but who knew these stubborn creatures were so resistant. I had no choice but to drive them away.”
“Negotiate… negotiate?”
Both the Emperor and the Empress of the Su Emperor Palace exchanged a look, speaking in unison.
Before Yang Zhen could reply, the Emperor suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed in shock, “They are alive?”
How novel!
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes and explained, “In this world, everything, whether it's all creatures or you and me, is composed of molecules too small for the naked eye to see. Do you understand this?”
Upon hearing this, a light shone in the Emperor's eyes as he spoke, “Are you referring to qi particles? Impossible, how could you see qi particles? They are only the legendary source of all creation in heaven and earth, invisible to everyone.”
Qi particles?
Yang Zhen was startled, surprised to discover that this Great Desolation world had such a term for molecular cells.
It only took a moment for Yang Zhen to realize that the so-called qi particles the Emperor mentioned were probably a vague concept, not quite the clear-cut concept of molecular science in biology.
Unable to clarify on the spot, Yang Zhen ambiguously replied, “Yes, those qi particles. Those poisonous miasmas are actually composed of microbial life forms, they even have their own consciousness.”
“This… they are a form of life?” The Emperor looked bewildered, and then shook his head, “No, I have never felt any life essence from the poison.”
Yang Zhen chuckled and said, “Not all beings in this world emit the essence of life.”
At that, the Emperor was left speechless.
Yang Zhen, wearing an odd expression, looked at the heaven and earth returning to its state in mid-air and teaseingly said, “Aren't you going to continue refining heaven and earth?”
The Emperor was taken aback, then burst into laughter and said, “Having found such a treasure as yourself, why would I bother refining heaven and earth right now? It can wait until later. First, I will join you to see what's so miraculous about these so-called divine ruins.”
At this point, before the baffled Yang Zhen could utter a word, the Emperor went on, “Kid, you're Yang Zhen, right? My name is Shi Aotian, also known as…”
“Emperor Aotian!”
The Empress of the Su Emperor Palace suddenly gasped, covering her mouth and staring at Emperor Aotian with a shocked and bewildered face.
“Eh?”
Displaying a trace of puzzlement, Emperor Aotian looked at the Empress of the Su Emperor Palace and remarked, “I didn't expect there to still be girls who remember this old man.”
Yang Zhen turned and asked, “Is this old man that famous?”
The Empress of the Su Emperor Palace became serious and hurriedly responded, “Emperor Aotian once intimidated the Wan Clan with his own power, a true Emperor of slaughter.”
Yang Zhen was startled and looked at Emperor Aotian, muttering, “Turns out to be a murderous maniac, really can't judge by appearances.”
“Kid!” Emperor Aotian glared and said, “Had it been thirty thousand years ago, for that remark, you would have already died countless times.”
Yang Zhen curled his lip and remarked, “But you're not who you were thirty thousand years ago. Hey old man, stop trying to intimidate people with your ancient reputation. You can't even enter the divine ruins–what's there to show off? Beside me, Sao Saint, there's even a kylin, and yet we just scrounge around. I'm heading in now, are you coming or not?”
“Coming, coming, coming!” Emperor Aotian hurriedly nodded, almost bowing down.
The crowd around watched in bewilderment, and moments later they heard Emperor Aotian muttering behind Yang Zhen, “What a fascinating kid, getting more and more interesting.”
