Chapter 1045: Chapter 1072: You Two Deserve to Die! (First Update) Chapter 1045: Chapter 1072: You Two Deserve to Die! (First Update) Seeing Hua Youyue injured, Yang Zhen was completely enraged.

What a crappy Reincarnation Clock, even causing injury during refinement?

If he had known that refining the Reincarnation Clock was so dangerous, Yang Zhen would have destroyed this damned thing with one slash of his sword.

“How are you, are you okay?”

At this moment, where could Yang Zhen care about intercepting Elder Wang and Yuan Tianyu, as he hurried to Hua Youyue’s side, ready to reach out and help.

Hua Youyue smiled and shook her head, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said, “I’m okay, my realm is just a bit low, but there’s no danger to my life, you… are you okay?”

Hearing Hua Youyue still concerned about his safety at this time, Yang Zhen immediately flashed a smile and said, “Don’t worry, to put me in danger, two Saint Realm powerhouses are not enough. Are you really okay though, the Reincarnation Clock seems a bit odd.”

More than a bit odd, the Reincarnation Clock was born from Heaven and Earth Qi, this object had developed sentience, and even generated its own spiritual intelligence. Refining the Reincarnation Clock, how could it be so simple?

Yang Zhen covered Hua Youyue entirely with the Path Cutting Saint Light, even offering her the Dharma Golden Light he hadn’t had the time to refine himself.

Hua Youyue trembled all over, and the Reincarnation Clock by her side began spinning rapidly as well.

Yang Zhen, though he did not know how to refine the Reincarnation Clock, seeing this scene, he understood that Hua Youyue had reached a critical moment in the Refinement of the Reincarnation Clock.

He smiled again and turned his attention back to the charging Yuan Tianyu.

Yuan Tianyu, upon seeing this scene, immediately showed a thunderstruck and enraged expression. Although confused why a Celestial Phase cultivator like Hua Youyue could refine the Reincarnation Clock, he suddenly recalled the various legends about her.

“Could it really be a reincarnation of a Saint Realm being?”

Yuan Tianyu muttered to himself, his expression constantly changing. If Hua Youyue indeed was a reincarnation of a powerful Saint Realm being, her previous life might have been much stronger than theirs.

After all, even the Nine Dragons who only managed to survive as a Taoist Body were very powerful Saint Realm beings. Yet, they were still unable to reincarnate. Only this explanation could make sense of why Hua Youyue could refine the Reincarnation Clock at the Celestial Phase.

But… would Yuan Tianyu really let a little lass at the Celestial Phase refine the Reincarnation Clock right before his eyes?

“Old Wang, if you don’t take action now, we two will become the joke of the day.”

Yuan Tianyu spoke to Elder Wang nearby with a cold hum, his face full of mockery, while casting a sinister look towards Yang Zhen.

Elder Wang’s delay in taking action was due to his wariness of the being behind Yang Zhen. Just who was that person that made Elder Wang so apprehensive?

Even without Elder Wang’s intervention, Yuan Tianyu decided to stop Hua Youyue from refining the Reincarnation Clock.

Thinking this, Yuan Tianyu’s green longsword sang again.

“Boy, I admit, I underestimated you before. I never expected you to burst out with the true power of the Saint Realm. It’s just a pity that the Saint Realm power in you is not pure. If you can survive this next strike, old man will no longer stop you from refining the Reincarnation Clock.”

Upon hearing this, everyone around tensed, their eyes widening in shock as they looked at Yang Zhen.

In the crowd, neither the cheap cat nor Han Yan’er relaxed at these words, but rather became more worried, especially the cheap cat, who looked anxiously at Yang Zhen.

“Damn it, that old fool is the worst. Using such terrifying Saint Realm power against two young ones at the Celestial Phase, why hasn’t the heavens struck this bastard dead with a thunderbolt!”

With a worried look on her face, Han Yan’er asked, “Can Yang Zhen actually withstand it?”

The cheap cat shook his head and said, “He probably can’t, but don’t worry, after all, he hasn’t used the Sky Tempering Festival yet. Maybe he could withstand it after using it.”

Before he could finish speaking, the cheap cat’s eyes bulged out, he jumped three feet high, cursing furiously: “Damned thing, two Saint Realm beings acting at once, have you no shame?”

The crowd gasped and scattered once again, scrambling towards the outside.

Elder Wang had made his move.

In the crowd, the Black Lotus Saintess looked at the Blue Bird Saintess with a mocking expression: “The noble Blue Bird Sect, even you can stoop to taking advantage when someone is down.”

The gaze of the Blue Bird Saintess turned icy as she looked towards the Black Lotus Saintess.

Unfazed, the Black Lotus Saintess taunted the Blue Bird Saintess with a playful tone, “What, angry at being embarrassed?”

The Blue Bird Saintess shook her head, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Yang Zhen. She murmured to herself, “I’m sorry. The Reincarnation Clock is just too important to the Blue Bird Sect.”

“Pretentious!” scoffed the Black Lotus Saintess and turned her gaze to Yang Zhen, saying with a half-smile, “This time, can you create a miracle again?”

As the two Saint Realm powerhouses joined forces, their Saint Realm power seemed to freeze heaven and earth. Hua Youyue opened her eyes, a flash of anger deep within them. She was just about to stop refining the Reincarnation Clock when Yang Zhen suddenly burst into laughter.

“Just focus on refining the Reincarnation Clock. These two old men want the Sao Saint’s life, but they still lack the mettle!”

Hua Youyue shook her head and said, “You won’t be able to bear it!”

Yang Zhen wanted to argue, but Hua Youyue stood up, spoke softly, “We can do without the Reincarnation Clock, but you can’t get hurt!”

Hearing Hua Youyue’s resolute words, Yang Zhen’s expression faltered. At that moment, the world changed once more, and a black and a white light barrier split the very heavens and earth in two. What followed were two sword cries that pierced the universe, akin to the overwhelming might of heaven itself. Two sword beams that reached from the sky to the earth surged towards Yang Zhen.

“Boy, you are undoubtedly going to die!” Yuan Tianyu laughed heartily, his sword suddenly transforming into a green streak of light that tore through space itself wherever it passed.

The endless Void Power ran wild, frightening all who watched.

Such power would spell certain death not just for Celestial Phase Yang Zhen, but even for a Half-step Great Saint.

A fierce anger flickered across Hua Youyue’s face as her Moon Shadow Holy Weapon suddenly burst forth with a frigid glow.

Yang Zhen quickly pulled Hua Youyue behind him, grinned, and said, “If I can’t even block two from the Saint Realm, how can I protect you?”

“But…” Hua Youyue’s expression changed.

“There’s nothing to ‘but’ about, continue assimilating the Reincarnation Clock.” Yang Zhen laughed heartily, gripping the Great Missing Sword and with a boom, soared into the mid-air.

Along the way, countless blades of Void tore open Yang Zhen’s flesh, spilling his blood onto the ground.

“Wild Heaven Sacrifice!”

Boom–!

The Heaven and Earth Qi within a hundred li madly surged towards Yang Zhen, and his wounds visibly healed at a rapid pace.

Once again, a vast force erupted from the Great Missing Sword in Yang Zhen’s hand.

“The power isn’t pure, is it? Then this Sao Saint will make up for it with quantity!”

After all, not truly of the Saint Realm, Yang Zhen could hardly unleash even one-tenth of its power.

If he could execute that devastating sword strike of the peerless female saint, what would these two beams of light amount to?

That one strike could even cleave two wretched old men in half!

Boom boom boom!

Deafening sounds echoed, making the crowd quickly cover their ears as air waves churned tumultuously in mid-air, as if heralding the destruction of the world, while copious amounts of blood fell from the sky, splattering onto the ground and creating blossoms of blood.

Sword after sword furiously pounded down, and when Yang Zhen’s figure reappeared in mid-air, everyone was startled.

There was no discernible human shape in sight, just a blur of flesh and blood.

“Yang Zhen!” Han Yan’er cried out in distress, charging wildly towards Yang Zhen.

Hua Youyue trembled all over, attempting to rise several times, but forced herself to endure, turned her head away, tears sliding down her cheeks.

Yang Zhen had told her to continue assimilating.

Hua Youyue’s expression turned cold as she glanced at Elder Wang and Yuan Tianyu, said nothing, and continued the assimilation of the Reincarnation Clock.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened with clouds as the aura of heavenly punishment enveloped the area.

Yuan Tianyu laughed heartily as he and Elder Wang leapt away.

“Yang Zhen, now that heavenly punishment is upon us, the last thread of chance you had has been missed by you.”

Elder Wang’s face showed a trace of pity as he still said, “Yang Zhen, leave on your own. Hua Youyue… no one can save her now.”

Upon hearing this, blood-soaked Yang Zhen shook violently, glaring at Elder Wang and said, “What do you mean?”

“The auras of two from the Saint Realm, combined with your own, would be too much for even a Saint Realm powerhouse assimilating the Reincarnation Clock to withstand, let alone a little girl in the Celestial Phase. If you insist on saving her, not even you will be able to leave this place.”

“Do you really think that a Heaven and Earth Treasure like the Reincarnation Clock is so easily assimilated?”

From the beginning to the end, Yang Zhen had been within the calculation of the two Saint Realm powerhouses.

This time, Yang Zhen’s complexion completely changed, and looking at Hua Youyue behind him, who was gradually turning pale, he said sternly to the approaching Han Yan’er, “Get down!”

“Yang Zhen, don’t be reckless, even that wretched cat said you can’t bear this heavenly punishment.”

“Get down!”

Yang Zhen bellowed, his whole body as if engulfed in flames, a tidal wave of blood surged as he threw his head back to look at the gathering purple thunderclouds in the sky and roared, “Come at me!”

At this point, Yang Zhen’s eyes were red, and he gave Yuan Tianyu and Elder Wang a glance, saying word by word, “You two, deserve to die!”

Yuan Tianyu and Elder Wang, it was all intentional!
