Translator: 549690339

Either Yang Zhen or Mo Tianya was bound to die.

This was a consensus that everyone present had reached and was an eerie phenomenon that had always been present on the Spirit Road. Much like the saying “one mountain cannot contain two tigers”, two remarkable people could not reign supreme on the Spirit Road at the same time. Even if the two initially knew each other and had ventured the Spirit Road together to reach beneath the Spirit Peak, due to various circumstances, they would turn against each other and become foes. In the end, only one could first ascend the Spirit Peak.

Five years ago, it was the same with Hua Youyue and Lin Tianli. Both were top­notch talents who caught everyone’s attention. They had a ground-shaking battle beneath the Spirit Peak. But eventually, Hua Youyue was defeated and was hard-pressed to even save herself, causing damage to her spirit root in the process.

Now at the edge of the Heavenly Destiny Spring, the ongoing competition between the usually dreaded Mo Tianya and Yang Zhen was a sight to behold. The incredulous thing was that it seemed like Yang Zhen had been overpowering Mo Tianya from the beginning. Except for the fact that his cultivation level was lower than Mo Tianya’s, everything else pointed towards his favor. Despite Mo Tianya’s struggle, he was helpless. Eventually, Yang Zhen singlehandedly destroyed the Heavenly Destiny Spring.

However…even though Mo Tianya appeared miserable and was vomiting blood in anger due to Yang Zhen and his contemptible cat, this was only the beginning. No matter how dazzling the two were, their strength was ultimately what mattered.

Everyone present understood that, with Mo Tianya’s power, even under the protection of prodigies like Hongluan Spiritual Girl and Xiu’er, killing Yang Zhen was not going be a difficult task.

After all, Yang Zhen was only a Void Cultivation Stage practitioner. No matter how talented he was, how strong could he possibly be?

Mo Tianya obviously thought the same. Despite being filled with murderous intent and looking fierce, before he made his move, there was no trace of fear in his eyes. He charged towards Yang Zhen without hesitation.

But the moment Yang Zhen moved, it overturned everyone’s previous judgment almost instantly.

Yang Zhen’s movements were too vexing. He seemed to dissipate into thin air, as if he disappeared completely. When he reappeared, he was already next to Mo Tianya.

Everyone was taken aback. Only the truly powerful could see that Yang Zhen had not vanished suddenly; instead, his movements were so fast and peculiar that it gave an illusion of him disappearing.

Yang Zhen’s movements appeared slow, but in fact, they were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had bypassed all of Mo Tianya’s blockades, arrived beside him, and delivered a punch.

The more powerful he became, the more he understood the uniqueness of the Sky Crossing Void martial skill, especially after he had just acquired the Genjin True Pattern. Yang Zhen had a better understanding of the spirit of the universe. Combined with the Sky Crossing Void, he could blend his body into the universe. With just a thought, his body would move.

Boom !

Yang Zhen’s fist landed on Mo Tianya’s sword, sending him flying backwards.

Mo Tianya’s energy was violently shaken. He turned around with an incredulous expression on his face, looking at Yang Zhen with uncertainty.

“No, this is impossible. I couldn’t sense your aura at all!”

“Yet you could block my punch,” Yang Zhen said evenly, “Let me share a piece of advice with you before you die…”

Suddenly, a horrible wave of energy erupted from beneath Yang Zhen’s feet and he charged towards Mo Tianya like a ferocious beast. His voice, however, remained eerily serene, “The wisdom is, young man, stay in your lane. Don’t cause needless trouble. If you provoke someone you can’t afford to offend, isn’t it better to immediately turn back and flee, lest you die a miserable death?” What?

Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, whether it was Mo Tianya or the people present, everyone was stunned.

Did that count as profound wisdom?

Escape if you can’t win?

Everyone stared at Yang Zhen, with their expressions quite amusing. Yet in the next moment, their expressions swiftly changed.

It was another punch, plain and ordinary. But Yang Zhen’s demeanor was entirely different than before.

If Yang Zhen’s movements before were ethereal and illusory, Yang Zhen now was like an ancient, savage beast — unstoppable and fierce. The crowd could even feel a surge of wild sonic booms emitting from his fist.

Seeing Yang Zhen charging at him, Mo Tianya did not display fear. On the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief, laughed heartily, and said, “Let me share a piece of advice with you too – never be over-confident during a battle!” Hiss!

The spectators were thrilled upon hearing this.

Clearly, Mo Tianya was intent on dealing a fatal blow to Yang Zhen with this strike. Thus, victory or defeat would be decided between their two fists and two swords.

Moreover, everyone understood that once a victor emerged from the battle between Yang Zhen and Mo Tianya, one of them would surely die.

Buzz—!

A terrifying wave of energy suddenly erupted from Mo Tianya’s longsword. The enormous image of an elephant’s tusk roared and bellowed, transforming into black light that rushed toward the sword.

Boom!

Once the image of the elephant’s tusk surged into the longsword, an almost destructive wave of energy erupted from Mo Tianya’s sword. Dark flames flared as though it were burning, causing the surrounding air to churn.

“Watch out, Yang Zhen! That’s the Giant Image Sword!” cried the Hongluan Spiritual Girl as her complexion changed drastically.

However, Yang Zhen ignored her, advancing instead of retreating, There was a clashing sound of metal from the fist he had thrown, startling everyone.

How could such a metallic sound possibly come from a flesh body?

In their astonishment, everyone subconsciously looked at Yang Zhen’s fist. Suddenly, a heaven-covering golden light burst forth. Golden inscriptions twirled around in a dense yet orderly manner, rotating at an extremely profound speed.

Boom—!

A fist and a sword collided, emitting a clear ringing sound. Half of the broken sword shot out, heading straight for the forehead of a cat that was watching the battle with its eyes wide open.

The scrawny cat cried out, with its fur all puffed up. Dodging with a leap of three feet high, it cursed angrily: “Damn it, kid, watch it! There’s a cat here!” A horrifying surge of energy exploded in all directions. After the cloud of dust covering the sky had settled, all eyes were wide open, eager to see the result of the battle between Yang Zhen and Mo Tianya.

After the dust had slowly settled, everyone who was watching closely appeared bewildered and frustrated.

Mo Tianya was not yet fully dead. He lay on the ground twitching, blood oozing from his mouth as he stared intently at Yang Zhen. Meanwhile, Yang Zhen sauntered over to Mo Tianya’s side, squatted down, lifted one of Mo Tianya’s hands, and casually said, “You’re about to die anyway. How about giving this storage ring to me?”

A glint of despair and gloom flashed in Mo Tianya’s eyes. He glared at Yang Zhen with resentment but was unable to utter a single word.

Only then did everyone realize that there was a huge depression in Mo Tianya’s chest, as if it had been smashed in with a punch. It was clear he wouldn’t survive.

Witnessing Yang Zhen casually plucking the ring off, Mo Tianya’s eyes bulged out in horror, and a “plop” sound escaped his mouth with a clump of bloody, internal organs. His eyes rolled back, and he was completely dead.

“Mo Tianya… he’s dead?”

Everyone stared in disbelief at Mo Tianya’s corpse, unable to process what had happened.

A young genius like him, full of vigor and vitality, died at the hands of a Void Cultivation Stage practitioner, Yang Zhen, with just two punches?

Everyone found it hard to believe that a Void Cultivation Stage practitioner had killed a Divine Travel Stage powerhouse with two punches, and Mo Tianya didn’t even manage to put up a fight?

Right at that moment, an ominous power fluctuation erupted from the place where the Heavenly Destiny Spring originally existed. Simultaneously, a furious roar that shook heaven and earth came from an unknown direction. The roar echoed through the space, carrying a potent hint of brutality.

Everyone was startled and instinctively turned to look in that direction, their faces filled with uncertainty and fear.

“It’s Spirit Peak. Yang Zhen’s destroyed the Heavenly Destiny Spring, awakening something in Spirit Peak?”

“This is bad… This is… Heavenly might!”

The Hongluan Spiritual Girl’s face changed. She looked in the direction of Spirit Peak and murmured to herself, “It’s him… He’s awakened…”
