Chapter 1048: Chapter 1075: Two Steps to Heaven! Vast Astonishing Heavenly Palace! (Second Update) Chapter 1048: Chapter 1075: Two Steps to Heaven! Vast Astonishing Heavenly Palace! (Second Update) What “cutting off emotions and desires,” all that is nonsense; Yang Zhen had always felt that the Path Cutting Saint Light, which could sever human emotions, was the most useless thing ever.

The ancient ancestors of the Blue Planet had long said, “Humans are not plants, how can they be devoid of feelings?”

In this world, since ancient times, there have been two kinds of people: men and women, born for mutual admiration. Those who transcend the seven emotions and six desires to retreat into a monastic life–Yang Zhen just couldn’t understand them.

There are so many wonderful things in this world, and Yang Zhen truly couldn’t pursue them all!

Blood blurred his vision, and when Yang Zhen looked up, the sky full of thunder was like an endless sea, making one’s hair stand on end.

Within the Purple Sky Heavenly Punishment, Yang Zhen basically had no room to resist, but for some reason, the more he was hit, the less it hurt.

“Yang Zhen!” A hysterical cry came, shaking Yang Zhen to his core.

In the deathly silence, the fact that he could still hear this voice must surely be a bond cultivated over several lifetimes.

Han Yan’er’s voice was filled with endless worry and urgency, almost as if she wanted to rush up desperately, which made Yang Zhen anxious.

Please, don’t really come up. If you do, with Han Yan’er’s current cultivation, she wouldn’t be able to withstand even one strike of the Purple Sky Thunder.

It was only at this moment that Yang Zhen truly realized how terrifying the world was. Under such power, the meager strength cultivated by humans was nothing!

Just then, a bell sound as if from the Nine Heavens Palace echoed throughout the world. Yang Zhen forced himself to look back; Hua Youyue was standing mid-air, her white clothing like snow, and from beside her, the Reincarnation Clock emitted a rumbling sound that sung of the world’s vast resonance, calming Yang Zhen bit by bit.

“Yang Zhen, hold on, I’m almost successful!”

Hua Youyue’s voice was choked with sobs; tears blurred her view, and as her hands moved, a sky full of flower petals enveloped her. Sometime unbeknownst to all, an image similar to an Epiphyllum Flower had appeared on the Reincarnation Clock.

When the Epiphyllum Flower bloomed, it would signify Hua Youyue’s success.

Yang Zhen nodded weakly towards Hua Youyue; it was evident that she too was not faring well. The impact of assimilating the Reincarnation Clock had almost brought her to the end of her rope.

Just then, Hua Youyue suddenly stumbled, and a trace of fresh blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, while the Reincarnation Clock beside her grew even brighter.

“Not good!”

Yuan Tianyu roared furiously, madly charging into the sky.

Elder Wang’s face showed an absurd expression, and he shouted, “Yuan Tianyu, have you lost your mind? Going up there now will cause changes in the Purple Sky Immortal Palace!”

“I can’t worry about that anymore!”

An hysterical roar came, and Yuan Tianyu passed beneath Yang Zhen, charging towards Hua Youyue. A dark green holy weapon in his hand buzzed constantly, clearly intending to use Saint Realm power.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the ruins of Wuting Mountain changed color and cursed at Yuan Tianyu vehemently.

“This damned old thing, presuming to be a Saint Realm powerhouse, dares to take advantage of others in such a vulnerable state.”

“Yang Zhen has braved the Purple Sky Thunder Punishment above to create an opportunity for the Blue Bird Saintess to succeed. Now, when she is about to succeed in her assimilation, this old bastard actually seeks to destroy it?”

“This is preposterous, presuming to be a Saint Realm, simply presuming to be a Saint Realm!”

The crowd cursed fiercely, and the Black Lotus Saintess’s face changed dramatically as well; she turned her head away, unable to bear watching any longer.

The Blue Bird Saintess sneered, glanced at the Black Lotus Saintess, then at the cursing alley cat, sighed, and turned her gaze to Yang Zhen.

“You could withstand the Purple Sky Heavenly Palace, but in the end, you can’t hold against a Saint Realm powerhouse. In this world, your realm of cultivation really can determine many things. I wonder how intense the anger in your heart must be now, but… you are also powerless, aren’t you?”

“Even if Yang Zhen were not injured now, how could he stop Elder Yuan!” The Black Lotus Saintess also shook her head.

The two women looked at each other, seeing the puzzle in each other’s eyes.

Living between heaven and earth, positions, interests–what exactly are they all for?

As Yuan Tianyu was about to reach Hua Youyue, countless people let out mournful cries.

At such a time, who besides the Purple Sky Heavenly Palace could stop Yuan Tianyu?

Elder Wang’s face showed a moment of hesitation, and he turned his gaze beyond the ninth heaven.

If the Nine Dragons were to appear at this moment, they might stem the tide of disaster. Relying solely on Yang Zhen, both he and Hua Youyue were doomed to die without a doubt, and the Reincarnation Clock might fall into Yuan Tianyu’s hands.

All Elder Wang could do was to snatch the Reincarnation Clock when Yuan Tianyu attempted to refine it!

This was the Reincarnation Clock; as soon as it made an appearance, it could devastate for thousands of miles. Even a Saint Realm powerhouse might shed blood and fall from the sky!

Boom—-!

A thunderous noise that shook heaven and earth rang out, and something seemed to explode from Yang Zhen’s body in mid-air, startling the crowd into exclamations.

Yang Zhen stared deathly at Yuan Tianyu, who was rushing towards him, then suddenly burst into manic laughter.

This laughter completely dumbfounded everyone.

Yang Zhen’s laugh was unpleasant to hear; as he laughed, blood continuously poured from his mouth, making everyone’s skin crawl. What was even more terrifying was the look in Yang Zhen’s eyes as he gazed at Yuan Tianyu–it was as if he was looking at a dead man.

“I don’t like killing,” he said. “From the time I started cultivating until now, I have killed very few people. Today, you are one…”

In mid-air, Yang Zhen appeared to be murmuring to himself, yet this deep voice was heard by everyone present.

Yang Zhen intended to slaughter a Saint!

But how could this be possible?

Yang Zhen was already struggling to protect himself, yet he dared to boast such a brazen statement?

Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, Yuan Tianyu laughed heartily while dodging the lightning in front of Yang Zhen and scornfully said, “Boy, at this point, do you still want to kill me? I am right here, waiting for you to do so. What can you possibly do to me?”

All eyes were fixed on Yang Zhen, except for Han Yan’er and the scabby cat, whose eyes suddenly brightened.

The crowd failed to notice that when the Purple Sky Thunder Punishment that could usually knock Yang Zhen down from the heavens with one strike, now did not even budge him.

At this moment, the aura surrounding Yang Zhen underwent an earth-shattering change.

A never-before-seen, terrifying aura emerged from Yang Zhen, and a finely wrought token above his head seemed to detonate the heavens and the earth with a loud bang.

“One Step Ascension Order, step forth into magnificence!”

Thunderous rumbles filled the world, turning it grotesque with boundless might, as if it enshrouded even the Purple Sky Thunder Punishment.

Yuan Tianyu’s complexion suddenly turned pale, disbelief etched all over his face.

“No, impossible, what is this power?”

Upon seeing the token, the scabby cat’s fur stood on end, and it yelped, “Kid, One Step Ascension cannot slaughter a Saint; with your current strength, you should barely use Two Steps…”

“Two Steps Ascension Order, Vast Astonishing Heavenly Palace!”

Yang Zhen took one step at a time towards Yuan Tianyu. Although his steps were slow, he arrived before Yuan Tianyu in the blink of an eye.

Yuan Tianyu, utterly pale, stood rooted to the spot, gaping at Yang Zhen and the Ascension Order above his head, muttering, “No, no, what power is this, how can you possibly wield such power?”

Yang Zhen could hardly keep his eyes open, and his body was covered in blood. Hearing Yuan Tianyu’s words, he cracked a smile and grabbed his shoulder, saying, “Come into the Immortal Palace, Sao Saint will explain to you what this power is!”

Hum—-!

The sky changed colors, and the entire Immortal Palace seemed to be stirred by a force, expanding against the wind, engulfing both Yang Zhen and Yuan Tianyu.

“Damn it, this is going to kill me!”

The scabby cat plopped down on the ground, completely dumbstruck.

Han Yan’er cried out in alarm and stumbled backward, her face devoid of color.

A group of people stared dumbly at the fierce and roaring Purple Sky Heavenly Palace in the sky, their faces full of utter confusion.

In such a situation, even if Yuan Tianyu were to be killed by the Heavenly Palace, how could Yang Zhen survive?
