Chapter 497: Chapter 501: 507: A Maze of Intrigue! Something's Not Right! (Second Update)

Next to the Sealed Land, torrents of Heaven and Earth Power surged, forming a violent tornado that surrounded Yang Zhen. Amidst the flurry of rocks and debris, two small mountains on either side, with Yang Zhen at the center, were rumbling towards the middle.

The wretched cat watched in disbelief, clicking its tongue in appreciation, “The talents of humans are truly enviable. Someone was actually able to create such a supernatural Ksitigarbha Skill. The Heavenly Book, I wonder what kind of changes would occur if someone were to gather all the pages.”

Veins throbbed on Yang Zhen’s forehead as he snarled, “Stop with the snide remarks. Dammit, cover for this Sao Saint quick. If that dark puppet comes too quickly, we’re both done for.”

The entitled cat shivered, grumbling as it looked in the direction of the two, “Screw it, can’t you hope for the best? That thing with unclear spirituality wouldn’t be able to catch up… catch up… damn it, what is that thing?”

Fear turned to reality, a dark shadow like a storm cloud, trailing a long tail, was rumbling towards their direction.

Upon recognizing the dark puppet, the cat shrieked, its fur standing on end, “Damn it, kid, that thing is coming. Did you steal something from its lair?”

God dammit, to steal from its place, who knew if they had anything good?

Yang Zhen violently shook his hands, the two mountains moving faster. Dust was flying, and waves were surging in all directions, a violent aura poured into the sky, covering the whole sky in the blink of an eye.

Although he possessed the Ksitigarbha Skill, moving mountains was still too strenuous for Yang Zhen. He was sweating heavily and felt like he couldn’t hold on much longer.

Yang Zhen turned to look at the black puppet, who looked like its grave had been dug up, and was startled.

Whoever set up this wild sacrificial ceremony, actually used the heavens and the earth as a trap, damn that was ruthless. If it wasn’t for Yang Zhen possessing the Ksitigarbha skill, Elder Qian and the Thousand-Spirit Saintess may have been trapped inside forever.

This wild sacrificial ceremony wasn’t an ordinary prohibition that would end once energy was exhausted. It was a trap set by heaven and earth that absorbs True Essence faster than a human practitioner. There was no such thing as it being ineffective.

“Dammit, Hurry up!”

Yang Zhen let out a roar, a burst of earth element light exploded from his body, under the terrifying shock wave, the two mountains collided with a bang, then separated, revealing a shining canyon in front of them.

“Yang Zhen?”

A familiar voice came, Elder Qian looked at Yang Zhen with a peculiar look, then burst into laughter, “Good boy, I knew you would come back!”

“What? Yang Zhen is back?”

“Yang Zhen is back. It’s really Yang Zhen!”

“Great, Yang Zhen, can you get us out of this damn place? Mother of god, this place is too weird, we can’t figure out how to get out.”

When Yang Zhen left, the entire Sealed Land was almost destroyed, yet Elder Qian and the others were unscathed.

The Thousand-Spirit Saintess stood quietly among the crowd like a beautiful ink painting, her eyes sparkling with joy. Evidently, she was also feeling suffocated by the Sealed Land.

Watching everyone jumping excitedly, Yang Zhen rolled his eyes and cursed, “Damn it, get out quickly. This Sao Saint can’t hold on much longer. Hurry, there’s a big thing coming from behind.”

“Not good!”

Elder Qian’s face changed drastically, he said in a deep voice, “Everyone, move quickly. Yang Zhen has opened the prohibition. There’s a Divine Transformation Stage powerhouse chasing us.”

Hearing Elder Qian’s words, the faces of everyone at the scene changed, and they rushed towards Yang Zhen.

The wretched cat behind Yang Zhen looked stupefied, mumbling, “Damn, this kid really opened it. This is the Sealed Land, several great saints laid down the Heaven and Earth prohibitions, and it was just opened like this?”

“What the hell is the Ksitigarbha Skill?”

Yang Zhen ignored the perplexed cat at his side. Seeing everyone get out, he vibrated his entire body and hurriedly withdrew the Ksitigarbha Skill.

“God damn, we actually got out. We’re out! I didn’t expect we would see daylight again.”

“Now is not the time to celebrate. That Divine Transformation Stage powerhouse seems to be up to no good.”

“What’s the big deal? Hasn’t Yang Zhen already killed a Divine Transformation Stage practitioner? He just needs to kill another one.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen almost kicked the speaker.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Damn it, was it really that easy to kill a Divine Transformation Stage practitioner?

The only reason he was able to kill that Divine Transformation Stage practitioner last time was because he was somewhat weak, completely different from the one he was facing now.

Roar——!

A thunderous roar echoed, the black puppet at the Divine Transformation Stage seemed exceptionally furious. It roared and charged at Yang Zhen, causing everyone to be terrified.

“What… what is this thing, it’s not human?”

Someone recognized the form of the black puppet and said in shocked disbelief, “Is this a demonic beast? A Divine Transformation Stage demonic beast?”

Everyone looked uncertainly at the black puppet charging towards them. Suddenly, Elder Qian burst into laughter, “Everyone, don’t be scared. Young friend Yang, don’t worry, focus on your recovery. I’ll face this Divine Transformation Stage practitioner.”

Suddenly, a shockingly powerful force erupted from Elder Qian’s body, and his aura dramatically increased.

Boom——!

A thunderous noise echoed. Before Yang Zhen could warn him, he saw Elder Qian collide with the Divine Transformation Stage black puppet, and then… Elder Qian was sent flying back at an even faster speed.

Yang Zhen rolled his eyes and said speechlessly to the Thousand-Spirit Saintess, “Quick, go see if Old Man Qian is still alive.”

The Thousand-Spirit Saintess looked shocked. Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, she gave him a hard stare before quickly rushing towards Old Man Qian.

Seeing that Elder Qian was still alive, to their immense relief, everyone loosened up.

“Impossible, they’re both at the Divine Transformation Stage, why is this guy so powerful?” Elder Qian looked as though he was questioning his life.

It was evident that during his time trapped in the Sealed Land, Elder Qian’s strength had made significant progress. He had initially wanted to have a great fight with the Divine Transformation Stage puppet, but he didn’t expect to get defeated in an instant.

Can two Divine Transformation Stages even compare?

Just as Yang Zhen was about to speak, he suddenly had a thought.

Behind the black puppet, a group of people rushed forward, and Ji Yourong was leading them.

Ji Yourong looked surprised when she saw Elder Qian and others. She then looked at Yang Zhen in disbelief and said, “You rescued all of them?”

Yang Zhen nodded, then looked at the black puppet appearing somewhat unsettled, and said helplessly, “I did rescue them, but whether we can get out of here alive is uncertain.”

Ji Yourong’s expression changed, she shook her head and said, “This black puppet… something seems off.”

Something off?

Yang Zhen turned to look and indeed found the black puppet showing a desperate expression. Amidst roars, it anxiously watched as the two slowly retreating mountains returned to their original positions. It suddenly roared and charged towards the mountains.

Upon seeing this, Yang Zhen’s eyes bulged, “Damn it, does this black shadow have paranoid delusions? Can it just barge into the Sealed Land?”

Boom——!

The moment Yang Zhen’s words fell, the black puppet broke into the terrifying energy wave and charged into the Sealed Land.

Watching the black puppet disappear from the spot, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

All the people who had narrowly escaped death cheered. Only Elder Qian’s expression changed continuously. Assisted by the Thousand-Spirit Saintess, he came over to Yang Zhen and said solemnly, “This matter, it’s not that simple!”
