Chapter 1032: Chapter 1059: The First Sword! Shattered Shadow! (Part 1) Chapter 1032: Chapter 1059: The First Sword! Shattered Shadow! (Part 1) Can it withstand the cut?

He must be insane, Yang Zhen must be insane. He actually wants to cut the Dao of Emperor Realm Expert Yuan Tianyu?

Everyone stared at Yang Zhen with their mouths agape, even the Blue Bird Saintess and the Black Lotus Saintess stopped perfecting their Dao hearts, all of them looking astonished at Yang Zhen, who was arranging countless Heaven and Earth Rune Patterns with a wave of his hand in mid-air.

To cut someone else’s Dao, if it were somebody else saying this, it would surely be a laughingstock, the butt of countless jokes.

But for some reason, watching Yang Zhen actually call forth the Path Cutting Saint Light, everyone felt a sense of heart-pounding dread.

Even Yuan Tianyu had a serious expression on his face. He wasn’t enraged anymore but looked interested in Yang Zhen, saying with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “Kid, you’re the biggest bragger I’ve ever seen in my life. You want to cut my Dao?”

Yuan Tianyu’s words were followed by a sudden, terrifying eruption of a blood sea behind him. His gaze fixed on Yang Zhen, and he laughed heartily, “Do you even know what my Dao is?”

Indeed, without even knowing what Yuan Tianyu’s Dao is, how could one begin to cut it?

Not to mention Yang Zhen, probably even the people from Black Lotus Sanctuary mostly didn’t know Yuan Tianyu’s Dao because, after all, he is an Emperor Realm Expert. It’s not so easy to see through him.

The blood sea erupted from Yuan Tianyu gave a chilling sensation, causing everyone to exclaim in shock, their faces white with horror.

Within the blood sea, a giant Buddha glared angrily, sending forth a roar akin to a grand bell, stretching out an enormous blood hand that could shroud the skies and block out the sun.

The blood hand reached high into the sky, the terrifying aura split the blood sea around it, with an endless surge, carrying a devastating aura as if it could tear the heavens and the earth apart, charging towards Yang Zhen.

Such a fearsome strike could probably smash Wuting Mountain to pieces with the swipe of a hand, yet it was all directed at Yang Zhen alone. How could he possibly withstand it?

The Blue Bird Saintess turned pale and exclaimed, drawing her sword to rush forward.

Yang Zhen had done so much, having fought the entire Black Lotus Sanctuary alone, and although he didn’t manage to perfect their Dao hearts, he had already done more than enough.

What confused the Blue Bird Saintess, however, was that despite seeing the terrifying blood hand swooping down on them, Han Yan’er and Hua Youyue both wore worried expressions but did not rush forward to help Yang Zhen.

“What are you two waiting for? That’s an Emperor Realm Expert. Yang Zhen can’t possibly withstand him alone,” she said.

The Blue Bird Saintess controlled her sword with her Dao, and all around her in mid-air, phantasms of the Blue Bird cried piercingly towards the heavens, facing the blood hand with no intention of backing down.

But the Blue Bird phantasms seemed too small against the towering blood hand, making the Blue Bird Saintess’s face turn into an expression of utter despair.

At that moment, Hua Youyue waved her hand, and epiphyllum flowers appeared in mid-air, swiftly dissolving the Blue Bird and arriving beside the Blue Bird Saintess, shaking her head and saying, “Don’t act rashly; you’ll get involved.”

Get involved?

Involved in what?

The Blue Bird Saintess was shocked by the power of Hua Youyue’s Daoist Feeling, but her confusion deepened as she looked towards Hua Youyue.

At a time like this, instead of finding a way to help Yang Zhen, Hua Youyue had actually dissolved her Daoist phantasm with a wave of her hand?

Just as the Blue Bird Saintess couldn’t help but open her mouth to question, a sudden change occurred.

The Heaven and Earth Rune Patterns, casually laid out by Yang Zhen, suddenly ignited fiercely, terrifying waves of power connecting in the air into a sea of fire, and waves of void essence burst forth from various patterns, glittering with golden light and unrestrained mysterious aura.

“What… what power is this?”

Astonishment spread across the Blue Bird Saintess’s face as she looked at Yang Zhen in disbelief.

If it weren’t for Hua Youyue dissolving her Blue Bird just in time, in the battle between Yang Zhen and Yuan Tianyu, she might have been the first one to get injured.

This void-like essence actually carried a sense of facing the void itself.

Could it be Void Power?

How is that possible?

No one could control Void Power, at least none of the people present had ever heard of it, that someone could wield Void Power.

Even those in the Emperor Realm, among all the great beings of ancient and modern times, none have truly mastered Void Power.

At this moment, the Void Power that Yang Zhen had erupted with was no longer merely about manipulating the Void Power; it was so much more.

This aura, although not the true Void Power, was already incredibly close to it.

Just as everyone was struck with horror, Yang Zhen moved his hands once more.

The sound of golden weapons clashing rang out, and the intangible auras suddenly turned into substance; under the forceful and resounding clangs, they even formed a towering giant blade along with the Path Cutting Saint Light.

This giant blade looked somewhat familiar, and it didn’t take long before someone exclaimed in realization, discovering the key to the puzzle.

In mid-air, the giant blade that eclipsed the sun was none other than the Saint Weapon Broken Sword that Yang Zhen had wielded before!

Hum—-!

Under the humming of heaven and earth, Yang Zhen stood alone in mid-air, his clothes fluttering fiercely, exuding an almost bewitching presence that seemed to draw people in.

Around Yang Zhen, intricate and profound Heaven and Earth Rune Patterns flickered with the light of dark gold, looking as indestructible as a colossal rock beneath the boundless sea of blood.

“What…what kind of Heaven and Earth Rune Patterns are these, capable of erupting with such terrifying might?”

“Could it be the Heaven and Earth True Patterns? My goodness, Yang Zhen actually possesses Heaven and Earth True Patterns; can any elder discern which Heaven and Earth True Patterns these are?”

“These patterns don’t resemble any of the Heaven and Earth True Patterns known in legends. If they really are Heaven and Earth True Patterns, then Yang Zhen might have the origin of the Heaven and Earth True Patterns within him.”

“The origin of the Heaven and Earth True Patterns?”

Everyone exclaimed out loud, immediately looking even more puzzled, never having heard that the Heaven and Earth True Patterns could command the Path Cutting Saint Light.

The giant blade that Yang Zhen had now formed was nearly completely made of the Path Cutting Saint Light, which was quite horrifying.

Among those present, only the Saint Realm expert Yuan Tianyu discovered some clues.

Yang Zhen was not using a single origin of the Heaven and Earth True Patterns; at the very least, it was the combination of three or more origins.

The reason Yang Zhen used the origins of the Heaven and Earth True Patterns was not to borrow their power, but rather to change the celestial phenomena through the Heaven and Earth patterns. This allowed Yang Zhen to mimic a presence close to that of the Saint Realm.

Only by this method could Yang Zhen truly control the Path Cutting Saint Light.

A trace of murderous intent flashed across Yuan Tianyu’s face; such a Yang Zhen was beginning to make him wary.

With cultivation at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Celestial Phase, to utilize the Path Cutting Saint Light and unleash such earth-shattering strength, who could stop Yang Zhen once he broke through to become a Half-step Great Saint or even reached the Saint Realm?

By then, wouldn’t Yang Zhen do as he pleased?

Thinking this, Yuan Tianyu let out a furious roar, soared into the air, approached the colossal Buddha, and unleashed a mass of blood lights from his hands, as if merging into that mighty bloody hand. In a roar, he struck heavily towards Yang Zhen.

At the same time, Yang Zhen burst into boisterous laughter; the Heavenly Void True Pattern in his hand suddenly burst forth, transforming into a miniature version of the Broken Sword, and violently slashing towards the bloodied hand.

“The first strike, Shattered Shadows!”

Boom—-!

A thunderous roar that echoed through the universe arose; a tremendous wave of energy burst forth in mid-air, the boundless sea of blood exploded in all directions, and a world-shattering shockwave surged violently around.

Countless Practitioners scrambled to flee towards distance, none having imagined that the force of Taoist Feeling unleashed between the two would be comparable to a True Essence eruption.

Such a terrifying confrontation of Taoist Feeling–it was not only something they had never seen but also never even heard of.

After what seemed an eternity, people finally opened their eyes, staring blankly at the chaos in mid-air, looking at one another in dismay.

“Who won in the end?”

Just as everyone was exchanging puzzled looks, a violent cough broke the silence, followed by Yuan Tianyu’s thunderous laughter, “Boy, I thought the Path Cutting Saint Light you stirred up would be terrifying, but it seems it’s nothing more than this!”

What?

Yang Zhen’s strike, it had no effect?
