Chapter 386: Chapter 393= The Great Path Of 3000! Different Destinies! (Fifth Update)
Seeing the two terrifying thunder dragons descending upon Yang Zhen’s head, everyone instinctively gasped.
Yue Yufeng murmured in shock, “Two thunder dragons, there are actually two thunder dragons, even with my experience, I…
Boom–!
A deafening explosion drowned out Yue Yufeng’s words. Everyone instinctively turned their gaze away, dazzled by the endless brilliant light radiation. The ensuing surge of ferocious True Essence reverberated in all directions.
As the turbulence dissipates, their gazes instantaneously fell upon Yang Zhen.
They were almost popping out of their sockets.
Yang Zhen stood unscathed in mid-air, his newly worn clothes transformed into rags again. Blood was streaming down his body, thunder snakes zapped about under his skin, his flesh glowing brilliantly. Muffled roars rang out, sounding like an enraged dragon bellowing.
The Dragon Elephant Prison Shaking Body, the second Dragon Elephant; the golden wild dragon appeared around Yang Zhen, intermittently visible, making everyone’s hearts tremble violently, and their blood boil.
Yang Zhen endured the bombardment of the two thunder dragons without resorting to any True Essence energy. This… was simply impossible!
“How is this possible?” Yue Yufeng shouted in disbelief, “Even I could not withstand these two thunder dragons. Yang Zhen didn’t use any True Essence power. Is his flesh and blood made of iron?”
Jiang Zuolei gave a bitter smile, “Of course he is not made from iron. I wonder what kind of body refining technique this kid cultivated to achieve such a level. This… is ridiculous. With such talent, why not wholeheartedly devote himself to spiritual cultivation? Is he fantasizing about achieving Bodily Ascension to
Saint?”
“Indeed absurd!” Yue Yufeng shook her head continuously, “I can’t figure it out. With his qualifications, he shouldn’t want to bite off more than he could chew.”
On Flower Face Mountain, everyone stared blankly at Yang Zhen in mid-air. Thunder dragons roared in the sky, the Tribulation Cloud kept evolving. Blood dripped off from Yang Zhen’s body and splatted onto the ground, leaving them in awe.
Rumble–!
A thunderous roar sounded, and two more thunder dragons descended on Yang Zhen. With a loud boom, his flesh and blood turned charcoal black, seemingly wrapping Yang Zhen up like a cocoon.
The Vile Cat watched Yang Zhen with eyes wide open and an incredulous look, “What the hell kind of body refining method did this kid cultivate? How could his body be so formidable?”
Everyone was in a dreamlike state, so was Yang Zhen in mid-air, and he couldn’t even feel the pain in his body anymore.
Why must beings in the world suffer through tribulations?
This question echoed loudly in Yang Zhen’s mind and he couldn’t shake it off. The Heavenly Tribulation is a predestined calamity or punishment, imposed by Heaven upon any beings, including practitioners who have reached a certain level of spiritual cultivation.
Under these circumstances, the majority of beings undergoing the tribulation would be wiped out, with only a rare few surviving it and gaining much more tremendous power.
If the Heavenly Tribulation is a punishment or calamity, then why does it descend upon those who cultivate in harmony with the Heaven?
If one follows Heaven’s will, why should they be punished?
Since the Heavenly Tribulation contains the power of rebirth and grants even stronger powers post surviving it, why were the two thunder tribulations Yang Zhen suffered only damaging with no signs of life force? Was it possible that only in the final Heavenly Tribulation Origin could one absorb the origin forces of Heaven and Earth?
In this case, was it following the Heaven’s will or going against it?
Put in another way, does Heaven desire beings to grow stronger, or not grow stronger at all?
Or perhaps… this damn Heavenly Tribulation, just as Yang Zhen had imagined, was really a tool to shackle all beings in Heaven and Earth?
At this thought, a sudden realization hit Yang Zhen hard.
Practitioners in the world act in accordance with nature. But in so doing, they are under the shackles of heaven and earth, confined by the order of the Great Tiaoist. Why would there be talk of crossing the Tribulation?
Yang Zhen, who was standing there in a daze, suddenly opened his eyes. He burst into laughter, reveling in a sense of liberation and joy.
“What a wonderful Heavenly Tribulation. Such a unique method, unheard of until now, shackling the expansion of power in this way, isn’t this fooling the world?”
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, everyone present shuddered. They looked at each other in bewilderment, clearly not understanding what Yang Zhen meant. The expression on the Scoundrel Cat’s face changed wildly. He looked at Yang Zhen in shock, his face revealing a very serious expression for the first time. Then, as if recalling something, he sighed deeply.
Hua Youyue was no different from the Scoundrel Cat, her body trembled and her face showed a hint of confusion.
The Tiaoist Cultivator next to Hua Youyue was already lost in thought. Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the starlight in his eyes sparkled sporadically.
Buzz—!
A terrifying power, similar to that of the Tribulation Cloud, suddenly exploded from Yang Zhen, making everyone on Flower Face Mountain shudder in fear.
In the next moment, something even more shocking happened. Yang Zhen unexpectedly punched his chest, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood. A rich Heavenly Tribulation Origin emitted by Yang Zhen was suspended in mid-air. “How… How is this possible?” Yue Yufeng was shocked, unable to believe what she was seeing in Yang Zhen, she exchanged glances with Jiang Zuolei, “How could Yang Zhen have the Heavenly Tribulation Origin?” Jiang Zuolei was equally baffled, staring at Yang Zhen in horror, “From the look of it, he voluntarily gave up on refining the origin of Heaven and Earth. He doesn’t even want the origin of Heaven and Earth. What on earth is he thinking?”
“The Heavenly Tribulation Origin, containing the origin of Heaven and Earth, is the ultimate goal of a practitioner, to comprehend the Great Tiaoist of Heaven and Earth…” Yue Yufeng muttered, “Now that Yang Zhen has given up the origin of Heaven and Earth, what…what did he realize?
Among the crowd, the Scoundrel Cat murmured, “So that’s it. Yang Zhen… is just like him, behaving so recklessly, but it’s a pity, the person ended up quite tragically. Is Yang Zhen going to end up the same way?”
“Who?” Mo Xueling looked at Scoundrel Cat in surprise, “Who are you talking about?”
The Scoundrel Cat shook his head, “It’s just a legend, still unverified. The Great Tiaoist varies in nature, and back in the days of the Wan Clan…. No, that’s the secret of heaven and earth. You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”
-You look like you know a lot, but can’t remember anything, huh?” Mo Xueling retorted, looking at the bewildered expression on the Scoundrel Cat’s face. Hua Youyue looked lost but she glanced at the Scoundrel Cat and then suddenly asked, “Has this world truly changed?”
The Scoundrel Cat’s countenance changed, thinking that Yang Zhen had broken the shackles of the heaven and earth, he sneered, “So what if it has? This world still remains the same.”
Having said that, the Scoundrel Cat looked up at Yang Zhen. It was unclear whether he was speaking to Hua Youyue or merely mumbling to himself, “…Eventually, it will return to the way it was.”
Hua Youyue shook, as if recalling something. She let out a low cry, “Then Yang Zhen… isn’t he fulfilling the prophecy?”
“Prophecy? What nonsense!” The Scoundrel Cat dismissed with a contemptuous face. “Just look at this guy Yang Zhen, does he look like someone who cares about a prophecy?”
Hua Youyue didn’t answer, just turned to look at Yang Zhen. Mo Xueling looked puzzled, “What are you guys talking about?” The Scoundrel Cat cackled, “Once Yang Zhen completes the Tribulation, ask him what he saw in the shackles of heaven and earth, and you’ll understand everything.”
“Can he successfully pass through the Tribulation?” Mo Xueling asked excitedly.
“Maybe he can, maybe he can’t!” The Scoundrel Cat replied, his face mysterious. However, his eyes were rolling around, as if preoccupied with something..
