Translator: 549690339

As Yang Zhen twisted his head and rushed to the front, everyone was taken aback.

On Yang Zhen’s shoulder, the wily cat scurried onto Hua Youyue’s shoulder with a weird cry when Yang Zhen turned to roll up his sleeves: “Kid, are you crazy? Do you know how evil the Blood Illusion Bronze is… What the fuck!”

Hum !

A terrifying shock wave raced towards them, enveloping everyone present in the blink of an eye – everyone, including the wily cat, was shocked beyond words, their eyes empty.

Hua Youyue’s eyes flashed with a hint of struggle, and she stared intently at Yang Zhen, a hint of pain flashing in her eyes. Suddenly, she hit her chest hard, coughed up a mouthful of blood, regained some clarity for a moment, looked at Yang Zhen who was still dashing forward, and muttered in surprise: “Yang Zhen, be…careful!”

After speaking, Hua Youyue stood still, her face turned incredibly pale.

Mo Xueling and the others looked confused and took a few zombie-hke steps forward, slowly moving toward the ancient bronze tree like Liu Zongqi and the others.

The aura emanating from the ancient bronze tree continued to spread around, causing everyone to seem entranced. The reckless rooster on Hua Youyue’s shoulder raised its head to glance at the tree, then it suddenly burst into flames, encircling Hua Youyue and the wily cat.

Hua Youyue took a deep breath, her eyes slowly regaining clarity as she looked

at the rooster in surprise.

“Eh?”

The wily cat, whose eyes had already rolled back in its head, woke up with a start. It stared at the rooster in amazement and broke into hysterical laughter. “Well done, reckless rooster! You’ve hidden your talents well. Those are some interesting flames, what kind?”

The rooster, with its proud face, struggled a bit, but ignored the wily cat, turning to Hua Youyue to say, “Go!”

The color drained from Hua Youyue’s face as she felt the golden fire around her and exclaimed, “Golden Crow’s fire, are… are you the Golden Crow?”

Thump!

The rooster with its eyes rolled back fell off Hua Youyue’s shoulder, but the wily cat caught its tail, yowled and said, “Damn it, don’t faint now. It’s a crucial moment. Are you even less reliable than that scoundrel Yang?

Being swayed around by the wily cat, the rooster spared it a disdainful look. It tried to raise its head to fix its ruffled feathers, but failed.

Boom !

Yang Zhen, who had been rushing forward, suddenly exploded with a powerful force. As Hua Youyue’s face turned ashen, she hurriedly yelled out, “Yang Zhen, don’t use the True Essence!”

Yang Zhen gave a dismissive wave of his hand. He made a giant leap; as he launched himself off the ground, there was a loud bang and it blasted a large hole. He shot towards the ancient bronze tree like a cannonball.

“What the hell is this strength!” the wily cat watched in amazement, then its eyes rolled back and saliva started dripping onto the rooster. It mumbled to itself, “Roasted chicken, delicious roasted chicken.”

Seeing the wily cat trying to shove the rooster into its mouth, Hua Youyue gave a grunt, quickly snatched the rooster away and flung it to the side. She sat down cross-legged, and her aura suddenly gathered into a ball. In the blink of an eye, her aura surged up and disappeared, making her look as if she was dead.

The Golden Lotus Heavenly Fire on Yang Zhen blazed, driving away the surrounding red mist, but the fire was burnt out too severely. As soon as it fell on the ancient bronze tree, it was snuffed out with a poof.

“Damn it!”

Seeing the Golden Lotus Heavenly Fire vanish, Yang Zhen quickly braced himself, murmured, “Amitabha, this Sao Saint is a monk, without desires…without desires…without desires…”

Phew !

Liu Zongqi leaped up as if he were a moth drawn to a flame. His face was all smiles and he threw himself at the branches of the ancient bronze tree. He was immediately impaled on a long and sharp bronze branch, and his blood flowed onto it, releasing an eerie glow before being absorbed into the trunk along the branch.

Yang Zhen blanched and cursed, “Damn it, another one got hooked!”

Hum !

Another terrifying shockwave came from the ancient bronze tree, and Yang Zhen, who was in the front, stumbled from the impact. Unable to act like a monk anymore, his face turned pale, and just as he was about to pass out, a loud bang sounded in his Divine Consciousness Space. The entire heavens and earth seemed to explode, and a surge of bright green light erupted from his body.

The little sapling woke up again, and a torrent of life force flowed crazily within Yang Zhen’s body. Even his hair began to lift as if it were floating on a cloud of green air.

Joy sprang onto Yang Zhen’s face, and then he smirked weirdly, “Did I just turn into a Super Saiyan?”

Interestingly enough, under the massive surge of life force, Yang Zhen, who was on the verge of blackout, suddenly returned to his senses. His perception of the ancient bronze tree had completely changed.

Upon the bronze ancient tree, black virtual shadows clung. Without a close look, they were utterly elusive.

Those virtual shadows were the eerie entities emitting the moaning noises. Once a person hung from the tree, the shadows would quickly dash towards them, turning the person into a dried-up husk in the blink of an eye.

Such horror!

Upon seeing Yang Zhen charge in, the virtual shadows let out piercing noises, rushing towards him.

Guffawing loudly, Yang Zhen felt relieved to be able to encounter these entities.

Vroom—!

The Golden Lotus Heavenly Fire in Yang Zhen’s hand flared again with terrifying energy. The Golden Lotus Heavenly Fire was transformed into the Genjin True Pattern by Yang Zhen, stationed in front of him, making the shadows hesitate to advance. Instead, they hovered back and forth, fastening their gaze onto Yang Zhen.

“What the hell, daring to play tricks before this Sao Saint?”

Both the Naughty Cat and Mo Xueling had mentioned the strangeness of the bronze ancient tree, which could induce illusions in people. Including Mo Xueling, those who experienced illusions were likely due to an invisible wave. Upon seeing these virtual shadows, Yang Zhen understood that it wasn’t the bronze inducing illusions. These virtual shadows before his eyes were the real culprits.

“That makes it easy!”

Yang Zhen let out a loud shout, which made the shadows shiver.

With a rumbling sound, a horrific flame wave burst out from Yang Zhen. With the aid of endless vitality, it transformed into massive Genjin True Patterns and rushed towards the shadows.

The virtual shadows were Yin, coalesced from evil qi, clinging to the special bronze was the reason why the bronze ancient tree transformed into Blood

Illusion Bronze.

Both the Golden Lotus Heavenly Fire and Genjin True Pattern are majestic elements, exerting an extreme suppression on such entities.

Seeing the Genjin True Patterns composed of Golden Lotus Heavenly Fire charging, the evil entities immediately shrieked with fright and ran up to the top of the bronze ancient tree.

“Damn it, dare you not to run!”

Yang Zhen relentlessly pursued them from behind and quickly climbed up.

At the top of the bronze ancient tree, Liu Zongqi roused into consciousness and realized that he was hanging on the bronze tree, which made him let out a scream. Frantically struggling, he was rescued by a fellow sect member who had also woken up.

Even so, Liu Zongqi who was pierced through his heart couldn’t survive and perished not long after.

Once the breath dissipated, Hua Youyue, Mo Xueling, and others woke up one after another. They exchanged puzzled glances and simultaneously gazed up at the bronze ancient tree.

“Don’t run, damn you! Stop running!”

“Hahaha, I caught one. Damn, it’s too ugly and yet still tries to scare people, isn’t that a bit too much?”

“Eh? There’s another one here!”

Upon seeing Yang Zhen hopping around chasing after the black shadows, chasing to the point where they were running amok in fear, everyone’s eyes bulged in disbelief.

“Golden Lotus Heavenly Fire, the Genjin True Pattern, heavens… is that… is that the life fire of an Immortal Tree?” Mo Xueling suddenly widened her eyes, her expression one of shock as she stared at Yang Zhen: “No wonder he wasn’t affected by the Blood Illusion Bronze… He… he actually has an Immortal Tree on him?”

“Immortal Tree?” the Naughty Cat exclaimed, his eyes shrewdly fixated on Yang Zhen: “Damn, is the life fire on him emanating from the Immortal Tree? No wonder this Sovereign always felt so familiar with it!”

In that moment, an eerie moan, like the sound of a Nine Nether ghost, emitted from the bronze ancient tree. Then, the entire Immortal Tree started swaying as an immense virtual shadow appeared before everyone. The black waves were unstable as the vast ocean, and a pair of scarlet pupils were firmly focused on Yang Zhen.

“Yang Zhen, watch out!” Hua Youyue’s face drastically changed. She rose quickly, her longsword suddenly erupting with a bolt of lightning, charging towards Yang Zhen.

■’Damn, what the hell is this thing?” the Naughty Cat’s eyes bulged out, his face registering shock as he stared at the gigantic virtual shadow engulfing the sky before them.

“Evil… Evil Shadow Black Glutton!” Mo Xueling uttered in a whisper, her face turning to one of desperation..
