Chapter 705: Chapter 711: Great Sun Blazing Bow! Radiance of the Great Sun! (First update)
Bai Shengbo was fuming, cursing under his breath. There was no help in sight. They had marshaled a great force to regain the five tribes’ lost glory, to kill Yang Zhen and seize the Tri-Floral Temple, perhaps even kidnapping the Tri-Floral Saintess and uncovering the enduring secrets hidden within her. Such a perfect plan.
It was a great dream, but reality… was a hard slap in the face.
His face was practically swollen from the blow. Bai Shengbo was in searing pain. His most prized disciple not only lost in a philosophical debate with Yang Zhen but also advanced several cultivation levels.
Even so, for two practitioners in the Circulation Phase to kill Yang Zhen should have been as easy as lifting a finger. But now?
That bastard Yang Zhen actually brought upon the heavenly punishment. Even Tai Zhongquan, that wily old man with his bushy eyebrows and big eyes, played him, almost leading him right into the Tribulation Cloud.
He cursed again. Bai Shengbo decided. If he survived, he would definitely fall out with Ancient Origin Holy Land and settle this with a fight.
The five Norther Qi tribes, the Buddha-Demon cultivators, they had all promised to join hands to kill Yang Zhen. But now, they fled as fast as they could, leaving him without a backup plan.
If no one was there to help him withstand the Tribulation Clouds, he couldn’t even get close to Yang Zhen, let alone kill him.
If he did approach Yang Zhen, a heavenly thunderbolt would surely strike him down.
Roar—!
Bai Shengbo bellowed at the sky, his eyes blazing with fury, as a tremendous wave of energy erupted from him.
Everyone was taken aback. As they fled, they turned back to see Bai Shengbo, shockingly holding the line against Yang Zhen on his own. But nobody could pause to cheer; no one dared face the Tribulation Cloud along with Yang Zhen.
That would be suicide!
Yet Bai Shengbo was brave, his heart righteous. He was willing to stay back and stall Yang Zhen, unlike Tai Zhongquan who fled faster than anyone else.
At that moment, Bai Shengbo roared in anger, bellowing at Yang Zhen, “You insolent child, stop your insanity! If you won’t focus on overcoming your tribulation, I’ll have to help you along!”
Rumble!
The terrifying sound echoed, making their blood pulse and hearts race. Everyone turned to look with widened eyes.
Right after his furious roar, just as everyone thought Bai Shengbo was going to fight to the death, he turned on his heel and bolted, darting past the whole crowd.
“Damn it, Bai Shengbo, you old bastard, why are you following us!?”
“Uh… Elder Bai, you better run fast, Yang Zhen is…is coming.”
Many of the practitioners were on the verge of tears. This old man Bai Shengbo, without any concern for the others, darted through the crowd.
Bai Shengbo was a practitioner of the Circulation Phase and practiced exceptional movement techniques, which made his escape a hopeless sight. However, Yang Zhen was not slow either. Despite Bai Shengbo’s shouts and roars, Yang Zhen didn’t slow down, continuing to chase relentlessly.
Insanity!
Yang Zhen was insane, everyone was insane.
Even Bai Shengbo was going mad, wishing he could sprout wings and fly.
What in heavens did this bastard Yang Zhen do to invoke such horrific heavenly punishment?
Boom!
Up in the sky, the Tribulation Cloud had taken shape. In just a few moments, the whole world echoed with thunder, drowning out all sounds, and spreading despair.
“Yang Zhen, do you really want to commit such a sin?”
In the crowd, an old man wailed and stopped, unable to run anymore.
Everyone went silent, turning to look at the old man.
Under such circumstances, once someone stopped, they would inevitably be in the range of the Tribulation Cloud.
Just then, Yang Zhen suddenly burst into laughter. A massive surge of Daoist energy erupted from him, illuminating the dark world under the Tribulation Cloud.
“There must be a borrower for every debt. As long as there’s no karma between us, you shall not be involved.”
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, everyone present was startled, and many were cursing loudly.
“This is absolute nonsense. How would the heavenly punishment know if we have any karmic connection with you and spare us?”
“Yang Zhen, heavenly punishment has the power to destroy everything in the universe, even the non-sentient beings around will be affected. You must not act recklessly. Otherwise, under the weight of such heavy killing, you will certainly not be able to enter the sacred place!”
“Yang Zhen, stop—…huh?”
Many people were pitying the old man who had stopped, but what caused their jaws to drop was that Yang Zhen passed over the old man with a thunderous rumble. The old man, aside from being enveloped in the Great Sun Blazing Bow’s brilliance, was not in any danger, and instead seemed to be bathing in the spring breeze.
What the hell, what was going on?
Everyone was stunned, and quite a few people stopped, thus getting enveloped by the heavenly punishment.
Thunder roared, and the earth and sky trembled with rage. Wavelengths of terrifying heavenly might came forth, but under a thin layer of the Great Sun’s brilliance, they became exceptionally ferocious yet powerless.
All those who felt this were shocked, looking at Yang Zhen with disbelief, their necks straining and eyes bulging.
More and more people stopped. Yang Zhen was clearly not attacking them. A lot of people had successfully avoided the heavenly punishment; there was no reason they couldn’t do the same.
When everyone had walked through the heavenly punishment unscathed, after witnessing the rage of the heavens and earth, and experiencing the feeling of being invincible against the rest of the people, everyone was aroused, looking excitedly at Yang Zhen.
Incredible, utterly incredible.
“How on earth did Yang Zhen manage this?”
“This can’t be. I should have faced my tribulation a long time ago. I suppress my cultivation daily just so that the heavenly punishment can come later. But I still felt my time approaching. Yet now… the aura of the heavenly punishment has disappeared. I feel that I can cultivate for another five years, hahaha, five years!”
Saying this, the old fellow, under everyone’s incredulous gaze, suddenly flew off towards the direction Yang Zhen had gone.
Everyone was startled, thinking the old fellow was mad. Then, almost simultaneously, they bolted after Yang Zhen.
This was a chance, an unimaginably huge opportunity. After being illuminated by Yang Zhen’s Great Sun, none could do anything about the heavenly punishment and the chance to delay the heavenly tribulation for at least five years. It was such a good deal that everyone felt an urge to repeat the run into the heavenly punishment.
Everyone cheered ecstatically, chasing after Yang Zhen, but sadly, they couldn’t keep up with his speed.
Despite this, everyone was still enthusiastic, rolling and crawling behind him, further and further away.
Bai Shengbo was so scared he almost wet himself. Yang Zhen’s heavenly punishment couldn’t pose a threat to the ordinary people, but he knew that once he got a whiff of the heavenly punishment, he was doomed today!
He had to run for his life!
Just then, Tai Zhongquan emerged, holding an enormous bow. The bow, like a full moon, pointed at Yang Zhen, and he roared angrily: “Yang Zhen, take my arrow!”
Boom!
The entire world exploded. Waves of destructive power erupted on the bowstring and shot towards Yang Zhen.
Bai Shengbo’s face changed, and he exclaimed: “The Great Sun Blazing Bow, old fellow, I can’t believe you brought the Great Sun Blazing Bow. Why didn’t you take it out sooner?”
Tai Zhongquan sneered, saying, “If I had taken it out earlier, would Yang Zhen have given me time to prepare?”
Such power in one arrow, so destructive that even Yang Zhen’s face changed.
Bai Shengbo laughed loudly. Seeing Yang Zhen charge at Tai Zhongquan with a roar, he instantly ran as fast as he could in the opposite direction.
“You better watch out, old Tai! There’s something off about this heavenly punishment of Yang Zhen’s. Hahaha…”
Yang Zhen’s face darkened. After delivering Tai Zhongquan a powerful blow and sending him flying, he slowly looked up. An overwhelming force descended from the sky, almost smashing him to the ground.
Holding the Great Sun Blazing Bow that Tai Zhongquan had dropped, Yang Zhen solemnly prepared for the tribulation.
As for Tai Zhongquan, he was already preparing for the tribulation elsewhere, looking grimy and disheveled after being knocked around by Yang Zhen.
At the same time, an arrow from the Great Sun Blazing Bow descended from the sky, radiating a blinding, apocalyptic light, sending chills down everyone’s spine.
