Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes

Chapter 859: Chapter 785: The Ancient Classic of Morality

Yang Zhen had no idea what consequences would follow once the Demon God Territory opened up the abyss, nor the aftermath of removing the Heaven-Fooling Curtain, and he was even more clueless about what this group of demonic puppets, the so-called Saint Palace disciples, actually wanted to do.

The only thing he knew at that moment was that he was close to death.

Yang Zhen was unsure what would emerge from the abyss after it opened, but he was certain that once the Demon God Territory removed the Heaven-Fooling Curtain, the terrifying divine punishments from the heavens would first target him. Among those present, none could compare to him in terms of being anathema to the world.

And those demonic puppets—although he didn’t know what detestable things they had done 30,000 years ago, from the current situation, it was clear that these guys were capable of anything.

Why the two forces were incompatible as fire and water, Yang Zhen didn’t know, and he dared not ask.

As for their fates, Yang Zhen really didn’t want to intervene, so he had planned to keep a low profile this time and just watch the excitement unfold.

But now that he was facing imminent death, if Yang Zhen were still merely an onlooker, he would lose his own life in the process.

That simply wouldn’t do!

So, seeing the terrifying divine punishment of thunder in the sky, the so-called Ten Lightning Divine Punishments, and then looking at the precarious Heaven-Fooling Curtain and a group of red-eyed people eager to open the abyss, Yang Zhen let out a sigh and started to walk step by step towards the middle of the two factions.

This sudden move left everyone dumbfounded, their gazes uniformly falling upon Yang Zhen.

This was the first time Yang Zhen faced so many pairs of eyes, tens of thousands of red-eyed people wanting to charge up and tear him apart, as well as the Demon God Territory’s people who were furious and roaring, about to jump on him, not to mention the hundreds of demonic puppets in mid-air at the Celestial Phase. Good lord, even with his thick skin, Yang Zhen felt an urge to turn around and leave.

The cheap cat was startled, its eyes widening as it let out a strange cry, “Kid, where the hell are you going? Do you have a death wish? Hurry back here; let’s see if we can break out.”

“Break out?”

Yang Zhen snorted and said to the cheap cat, “Believe me, if we could have broken out, we would already be outside.”

“What did you say?” the cheap cat was bewildered and asked, “We can’t get out?”

Yang Zhen nodded and replied, “With my speed, carrying you all, we simply wouldn’t make it in time before being sealed.”

Yang Zhen didn’t conceal this fact nor was there a need to. He could feel something extremely terrifying emanating from the abyss, but there had been no time to properly sense it before.

Now, with the abyss restless, Yang Zhen had the feeling that if the Demon God Territory were allowed to open the abyss, none of the people present would be able to escape, regardless of the means used.

Just by looking at that big, black thing in mid-air, Mo Wu, he knew these people would definitely try to escape if they couldn’t stop Feng Wu Ya. When that time came, tens of thousands of practitioners and their mental powers would mean nothing compared to their own lives.

Ahwoo—!

A hysterical roar came, and the first practitioner who charged onto the platform, eyes bloodshot, lunged at Yang Zhen with a bite.

Yes, literally with a bite. That neck was stretched so long, Yang Zhen even worried it might snap.

Such speed and power—naturally, Yang Zhen wouldn’t let him succeed. He pressed his hand on the man’s forehead and said to a still-confused Feng Wu Ya on the platform, “Senior, let’s not hurry to open the abyss. We can talk this over.”

Talk this over?

Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, not just Feng Wu Ya, but everyone on the platform was stunned.

Watching Yang Zhen suddenly create countless Shadow Clones, pressing one onto each of the heads of the charging practitioners, Feng Wu Ya showed a surprised expression for the first time: “Are you Yang Zhen?”

Oh?

Yang Zhen was caught off guard. Was he that famous now?

Even someone like Feng Wuya knew his name?

But now that he knew his name, things were going to be easier.

Yang Zhen turned his head and gave a grin, saying, “Yes, that’s me, Yang Zhen. Senior, would you give me some time to talk with these people—is that okay?”

“Ridiculous!” Feng Wuya frowned, looking at the practitioners still rushing upwards vehemently, and said, “Just look at these people. Do they look like they can have a calm and friendly chat with you? They are now demonized, a trick of the demon puppets, intended to control their minds. Given enough time, more people will fall under the demon puppet’s control. Are you going to talk to each of them one by one?”

Yang Zhen sighed and was about to speak when Emperor Zhong suddenly approached with a peculiar expression and said, “Lord, why don’t we… let Yang Zhen give it a try?”

Feng Wuya was taken aback, giving Yang Zhen a weird look, he opened his mouth, but before he could speak, the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord also joined the group, saying, “Kid, do you really have a way?”

This time Feng Wuya was genuinely stunned, and with a frown, he said, “Yang Zhen, you have less than the time it takes to brew a pot of tea. Is that feasible?”

“It’s feasible, it’s feasible. With the time it takes for a pot of tea, there’s a lot that can be said.” Yang Zhen smiled ear to ear and was about to start when he suddenly heard a cold snort.

In mid-air, Demon Five looked at Yang Zhen with amusement and said, “Boy, in tens of thousands of years, you are the most arrogant person I’ve encountered, daring to have a chat with my puppets?”

Yang Zhen glanced at Demon Five, this faceless figure who didn’t even dare to show his face, doing such detestable deeds—it wasn’t surprising at all.

“Old man, no offense, but even villains should act like villains. The likes of you, in our village, you’d be locked up for good and used as a negative example for ten thousand years. Compared to being bad, you’re far, far behind.”

“Nonsense!”

Demon Five snorted coldly and said, “Boy, do you believe that with just one glance from me, I could turn you into a walking corpse?”

Yang Zhen looked at Demon Five with a baffled face, disappointment written all over it as he shook his head and muttered, “This intelligence really is disappointing. How did such a low-level guy strut around until now?”

Although spoken softly, what was the cultivation of those present?

Almost everyone heard Yang Zhen’s words and stared at him, their faces a picture of stunned disbelief.

Demon Five’s face turned red, really red, darkening in anger as he glared at Yang Zhen and bellowed, “I hate it most when people criticize my intellect!”

Boom—!

A terrifying force, vast as the ocean, burst forth from mid-air, pouring down towards Yang Zhen with fearsome ferocity, chilling to the bone.

Everyone was startled, especially Feng Wuya, who gave a cold huff and was about to help Yang Zhen dissipate the force, but his expression froze, then changed dramatically.

Yang Zhen didn’t even glance at the raging force, but simply smiled skyward, and like a golden sword slashing through heaven and earth, it soared into the sky.

Buzz—!

Where the golden light passed, the black energy, like a torrential flood, crumbled away, obliterated with ease, leaving no trace.

“When it comes to talent, I’ve never been afraid!”

Countless Yang Zhens burst apart, then transformed into golden light, shooting skyward. In the blink of an eye, they morphed into large characters, floating in the mid-air.

When the three big characters of Tao Te Ching appeared in everyone’s field of vision, countless people were stupefied—even the ordinary practitioners with blood-red eyes stopped in their tracks, staring dumbfounded at the golden characters emerging in the sky.

“Come on, come on, little sunflower class is now in session. Today I’ll teach you what is called… morality!”

Both Feng Wuya and Demon Five were shocked at the sight of these resplendent characters and said with an astonished tone, “Impossible!”
