âI knew it. Youâre such an asshole. You just rushed in here without thinking, and now you donât even know if Sao Chicken is here. How are we supposed to find him?â
The cheap cat desperately clawed at Yang Zhenâs head, spitting out saliva in anger.
Yang Zhen sneered, looking angrily at the cheap cat, and said, âWhatâs your rush? Did I ever say we donât have a way to find Sao Chicken?â
âHmm?â The cheap cat was taken aback, looking suspiciously at Yang Zhen and said, âYou donât even know where Sao Chicken is, so how can you find him?â
Yang Zhen considered for a moment then whispered something in the cheap catâs ear.
The cheap cat looked at Yang Zhen with a confused expression, hesitating before asking, âAre you sure this will work?â
Yang Zhen answered seriously, âLetâs try, how would we know if it works without trying?â
The cheap cat grimaced, looking dubious of Yang Zhen. He cleared his throat, climbed onto Yang Zhenâs head, closed his eyes and yelled out loud, âSao Chicken! Your mother is calling you home for dinner!â
The voice rumbled like thunder, startling even Yang Zhen who quickly covered his ears and looked at the cheap cat in surprise.
âWhy are you shouting so loud?â
âHuh?â The cheap cat rolled his eyes, âIf I didnât shout, would that bastard Sao Chicken be able to hear me?â
âDamn, you make a valid point, but⦠it doesnât seem like thereâs any response,â said Yang Zhen, his face full of confusion.
The cheap cat, in irritation, slid from Yang Zhenâs head onto his shoulder, speaking in a sarcastic tone, âIt would be weird if there was any response. Sao Chicken might not even be here. Kid, your half-baked planâ¦â
Roarââ!
A thunderous noise rang out, causing the earth and the heavens to quake.
The cheap cat jumped, quickly gripping onto Yang Zhenâs collar and looking around in shock, âWhat was that noise? How could Sao Chicken make such a racket?â
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, saying, âThereâs your response. Quick, hold on, letâs go and see whatâs happening.â
âWait⦠kid, hold on, thatâs not Sao Chickenâs voice. Could it be dangerous?â The cheap cat swung about in mid-air, clinging tightly to Yang Zhenâs clothes, speaking in anxiety, âDamn, kid, with such a commotion, it must be a ferocious beast, maybe even a monster. You trying to get killed? Thatâs definitely not Sao Chicken, not Sao Chicken.â
Yang Zhen nodded, saying, âI didnât say it was Sao Chicken.â
âThen you stillâ¦â The cheap cat was baffled, but quickly widened his eyes, staring at Yang Zhen, âDamn, you never really expected to find Sao Chicken from the beginning, did you?â
As Yang Zhen rushed towards the source of the noise, he nodded and said, âOf course, did you think we could just barge in here, yell once, and find Sao Chicken? What were you thinking? I certainly didnât expect to find Sao Chicken just like that.â
âThen what are you planning?â The cheap cat was completely dumbfounded by Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes, âObviously, to stir things up. Without stirring the pot, how will Sao Chicken know weâre here?â
âI mean⦠eh?â The cheap catâs eyes widened in surprise. Then he burst out laughing, âYouâre right, thatâs also a way. Damn, how could you think of something this brilliant?â
âOf course!â Mid-way through their rush, Yang Zhen turned to the cheap cat and said, âQuiet now, thereâs something ahead.â
There was no need for Yang Zhen to say it, the cheap cat had already seen it.
The altar they had seen before was now emerging from the ground, rumbling heavily, and was the size of a small hill.
On top of the terrifying green altar, waves of chilling air erupted, wild and fierce, like boiling clouds, sending chills down oneâs spine.
As Yang Zhen and the cheap cat rushed past the altar, they were as insignificant as ants.
In a valley not far from the altar, a gigantic creature stretched out, its terrifying body almost completely filling the valley.
âDamn, a monster, it really is a monster. Kid, run!â The cheap cat suddenly shouted, trying to drag Yang Zhen away.
Yang Zhen pulled the cheap cat back, studying the monster in the valley with interest.
This was the first time Yang Zhen had seen a monster. Of course, he wasnât about to leave so quickly.
The monster was enormous, far larger than the monstrous dinosaurs described in legends. Yang Zhen estimated its exposed body outside the valley to be at least twenty meters in size.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ordinary ferocious beasts are merely strengthened by the Heaven and Earth Qi, but monsters are different. They are a minor branch of the Demonic Race, emitting terrifying True Essence power. They are as intimidating as powerful practitioners, causing one to shiver uncontrollably. Moreover, most monsters are sentient.
The monster in front of them looked like an elephant, only its legs were much longer than a regular elephantâs. It also had numerous trunks. Yang Zhen counted around a dozen of them.
Yang Zhen stared dumbfounded at this big buffoon who was bellowing at the sky, his nose flaring wildly, and couldnât help but ask in astonishment, âWhat the heck is this thing? Itâs so ugly.â
âThe uglier the monster, the stronger it is, kid. Thatâs something every demon in the Demonic Race knows. As for this creature here, if Iâm not mistakenâ¦â
âWhat is it?â Yang Zhen asked eagerly.
âIf Iâm not mistaken, itâs so ugly that Iâve never seen it before.â
âDamn it!â
Yang Zhen glared irritably at the Just Cat, asking, âWhat do you think of this guyâs strength?â
The Just Cat took a deep breath, and said gravely, âKid, I have to remind you about this.â
âGo ahead!â Yang Zhen looked curiously at the Just Cat, knowing nothing about the Demonic Race.
The Just Cat became unusually serious and stared at Yang Zhen, âDonât judge the strength of a member of the Demonic Race by the same standards as human practitioners. Most demons have innate talents. What you see as just a Mahayana Phase monster could likely easily defeat a human Sao Saint.â
âThat good?â Yang Zhen was startled and almost turned tail and ran.
Jokeâs aside, this guy in front of him only seemed to have the strength of the Mahayana Phase, but he could easily defeat a Sao Saint?
Had this guy discovered a cheat code or something?
At this moment, it seemed like the monster had spotted Yang Zhen and the Just Cat, its eyes suddenly turned blood-red and it roared at them both.
A terrifying shockwave swept towards Yang Zhen face-on, with gusts of violent wind, the force was so strong it nearly blew Yang Zhen away.
Yang Zhen was genuinely startled this time. Just one roar can generate such a terrifying momentum. What would happen if it really fought?
Unexpectedly, there were actually other demons in this Nine Dragon Que flower land, compared with this monster, the fox that he saw before seemed like a completely harmless pet.
Yang Zhen and Just Cat were stunned. Before they could react, the fearsome monster charged straight at them with a thundering crash.
Fast⦠too fast!
âDamn it!â
Yang Zhen and Just Cat, in unison, turned and ran!
Jesus Christ! How could a monster dozens of meters tall be so fast?
Itâs not that Yang Zhen looked down on other practitioners, itâs just that no Mahayana phase practitioner here, even if given a sacred sword, could produce such a horrifying speed.
Just after Yang Zhen and the Just Cat finished swearing, the terrifying monster roared and stomped heavily towards them. If it landed, even Yang Zhen with his fifth Dragon Elephant physique, wouldnât be able to withstand such an enormous weight.
âDamn it, kid, Iâm a goner, run!â The face of the Just Cat changed drastically as it hurriedly darted into Yang Zhenâs arms.
âInteresting!â Yang Zhen looked up at the sky-obscuring black hoof, and quickly shrank his neck and together with the Just Cat, they both dug into the ground.
Ksitigarbha Skill!
Meanwhile, in the distant depths of the East Sea, gigantic waves rolled, and the horrific waves nearly submerged the three islands of the East Sea.
Countless practitioners stared in horror at the waves several hundred feet high in the distance, their faces drained of all color.
At a certain location in the depths of the East Sea, a gigantic whirlpool appeared on the sea surface. With deafening roar a massive altar rumbled as it emerged.
If Yang Zhen and Just Cat were there, they would be shocked, for this altar was exactly the same as the one in the ancient ruins of Northern Island.
In the Western Region, outside the Sinful Sea of Sand City, the booming sound of a bronze bell echoed, followed by the chants of Buddhist scriptures resonating throughout Heaven and Earth.
Countless practitioners stared in awe at the giant sand mountain in the Sinful Sea desert, with gales blowing, obscuring the sky. Amidst the dazzling golden light, numerous Buddhist disciples stood mid-air, their faces pale, their mouths continuously chanting.
With a thunderous rumbleâ!
A gigantic altar rose from the depths of the Sinful Sea desert, making the surrounding heavens and earth hazy and terrifying. The violent Heaven and Earth True Essence swept between the heavens and the earth, covering the entire Western Region in an instant.
For a while, the whole cultivation world went mad!
