Chapter 1005: Chapter 1032: Battle with the Half-step Great Saint! The Heavens and Earth Tremble! (Second Update) Chapter 1005: Chapter 1032: Battle with the Half-step Great Saint! The Heavens and Earth Tremble! (Second Update) Hearing the voice, fraught with desperation and rage, not only the other practitioners but even Yang Zhen himself was startled. He looked toward the source of the voice and saw a grimace so dark it seemed like it could drip with water.

The first to discover Yang Zhen was Kuang Yang, this old fellow who seemed all smiles on the surface but was full of treachery behind his back. Now he couldn’t maintain his facade of propriety, and in a fit of rage, a wild surge burst forth from him, furiously charging at Yang Zhen.

The crowd around them was dumbfounded, especially Bizarre Granny and the others, with looks of astonishment plastered all over their faces.

What grudge, what grievance could there be? Their eyes turned red upon the mere sight of each other?

A Half-step Great Saint, upon seeing a youngster from the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Celestial Phase, was as wrathful as one who had seen the killer of their father, which truly left onlookers dumbstruck.

The practitioners who were spectating were also taken aback, their faces filled with uncertain shock, especially those near Yang Zhen. At once, they all stepped away, and in just a moment’s time, there was no one left by Yang Zhen’s side.

However, what shocked the crowd even more was the terrifying power that Kuang Yang unleashed as he rushed towards Yang Zhen. A cold snort from Xue Shou by Kuang Yang’s side made the temperature around them plummet to an extreme, causing a group of people to shiver violently.

Two Half-step Great Saints!

With two Half-step Great Saints under such an explosive wrath, nearly all their strength burst forth, creating waves of wild energy that seemed to envelop and devour the sky. Under the overwhelming force of the surges, they madly charged at Yang Zhen.

Bizarre Granny and others were taken aback, as they had never seen Kuang Yang and Xue Shou so infuriated before, wondering if it was a feint, with their guard up in a moment’s hesitation.

This matter was truly too bizarre!

Yet, what shocked everyone even more was yet to come. The dozen or so Half-step Great Saints that had come with Kuang Yang and Xue Shou all let out a roar and charged at Yang Zhen.

“You insolent child, how dare you come here so disdainfully! Where is that Heaven Devouring Beast? Release it quickly, or else you will have no place to be buried today!”

Hearing Kuang Yang’s words, everyone present was greatly shocked. Bizarre Granny, in particular, cried out in horror, “The Heaven Devouring Beast, no, it’s impossible. How could there possibly be a Heaven Devouring Beast in this world?”

The Half-step Great Saint with the flushed face looked equally shocked, gazing uncertainly at Yang Zhen and asked hesitantly, “Bizarre Granny, have you noticed? This kid, with mere cultivation of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Celestial Phase, doesn’t seem apprehensive at all!”

“This…” Bizarre Granny squinted at Yang Zhen, hesitatingly murmured, “It really is so. Could it be that this youngster has a powerful background that emboldens him, or could there be a powerful protector nearby that we are unaware of?”

Protected by a more powerful being?

Having said that, Bizarre Granny shook her head.

What a joke, what kind of powerful being could protect a youngster at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Celestial Phase from the hands of a dozen Half-step Great Saints?

“Just what kind of feud is this, that he has offended so many Half-step Great Saints all at once?”

An elderly man by their side pondered for a moment, then shook his head, his face showing a ridiculous expression.

“No matter what he’s relying on, he’s bound to die today!”

Inevitable death, that was the feeling of all who were present. Facing such a situation, Yang Zhen’s face didn’t show panic, but escape seemed impossible.

Everyone watched the absurd scene unfolding before them with uncertainty, their gazes firmly fixed on Yang Zhen.

The contemptuous cat looked at Yang Zhen with a speechless expression and asked, “What now? Looks like you still have to fight, huh?”

Yang Zhen glanced at the mists accumulating at the summit, feeling a mysterious sense of aspiration rising within him. Calmly, he drew the Great Missing Sword and said, “If I must fight, then I will fight. It’s just the opportunity to see how much I’ve improved recently. With such a group of opponents, I hope they won’t all be dead in a moment!”

Hearing Yang Zhen’s almost naive words, everyone present nearly choked on their own saliva!

These were over a dozen Half-step Great Saints, yet Yang Zhen, this youngster, actually wanted to kill them all?

Kuang Yang burst into laughter, his longsword in hand like a thundering dragon, violently stirring up a series of celestial phenomena. Amidst the roaring sound, it shot ferociously towards Yang Zhen from mid-air.

“Boy, you are the most arrogant and ignorant junior I have ever seen in my life. In this world, there are some people you simply cannot afford to offend.”

Yang Zhen also burst into laughter, his aura increasing at a shocking speed. The Great Missing Sword in his hand glowed with a dark light. Nodding his head, he said, “You’re right about that. In this world, there are some people you can’t understand, and there are others you cannot harm. The moment you hurt the young lady, the naive Daoist, and this insignificant cat, you were destined… to die!”

Boom–!

A heaven-shaking explosion sounded as a vast expanse of mysterious golden power burst forth from Yang Zhen’s body. The savage energy shot straight into the sky where the roar of a ferocious beast shook the heavens. The Qiongqi Heavenly Void’s massive shadow, blotting out the sun, appeared behind Yang Zhen.

“What… what kind of power is this?” Bizarre Granny’s face showed an absurd expression, full of shock and disbelief.

The next moment, everyone present, without exception, had their eyes wide open, exclaiming in disbelief, “Qiongqi Heavenly Void!”

The Qiongqi Heavenly Void, a creature unseen by anyone present, had become familiar to all through countless years of legends describing its punishing powers.

Such a world-destroying terrifying beast, now appearing in another form before the crowd, how could it not astonish them?

Kuang Yang’s eyes narrowed, his face flashed with an absurd expression as he roared, “No, impossible, who exactly are you?”

Yang Zhen laughed heartily, the Great Missing Sword in his hand suddenly emanated rolling dark light. With a roar, the savage power directly broke the distance between the two, as he lunged with his sword toward Kuang Yang!

After Kuang Yang realized what was happening, a ferocious look appeared on his face. Amidst maniacal laughter, he thrust his sword towards Yang Zhen, “Boy, even if I don’t know why you can conjure the shadow of the Qiongqi Heavenly Void, your power is still far too weak. Today you will see what the gulf between realms truly means!”

Boom–!

An earth-shattering burst of rage collided in the sky, changing the color of the heavens and the earth as the violent energy wave surged in all directions, causing everyone to sway unsteadily.

Everyone looked in horror at the many half-step Great Saints in the sky, their cold gazes meeting. When they saw the disbelief in the eyes of those half-step Great Saints, they were all astounded!

Could it be… that Kuang Yang, the senior, was defeated?

How was that possible? A half-step Great Saint against a Celestial Phase Ninth Heavenly Layer practitioner, even with eyes closed, one should not lose!

While everyone was doubtful and uncertain, Kuang Yang’s voice could be heard, “Impossible, this is impossible, what is this power, so bizarre and… so strong!”

What power?

Could it be that Yang Zhen had mastered some even more formidable power?

At this moment, a figure fell from the sky, blood spraying across the air. This figure, surprisingly, was missing an arm!

The entire place was in an uproar; no one expected that Kuang Yang, the half-step Great Saint, would face a Celestial Phase Ninth Heavenly Layer practitioner and lose an arm from a single exchange!

“Next!”

Yang Zhen’s voice came from mid-air, casual and indifferent.

As the crowd was shocked and turned their gaze towards Xue Shou and the others, a cold snort came from the peak above, followed by a changing sky and a convergence of clouds. The violent Heaven and Earth True Essence within a thousand li nearly boiled over instantly.

Hearing this sound, everyone present, including the many half-step Great Saints, turned deathly pale!

Saint Realm!
