Chapter 78  : Chapter 078: Wanton Destruction of Nature’s

Treasures

Everyone stared blankly at the disciple, unable to react for a long time.

They had never heard of anyone who could laugh while inside the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, and even more exaggerated was that the laughter was so intense that they even vomited blood?

The disciple’s sect elder seemed to think that the disciple was talking nonsense. His old face was flushed with anger, and he scolded, “Scoundrel if you dare to spew nonsense again, I’ll throw you into the sword cave.”

“Elder, I dare not speak nonsense. I really couldn’t help laughing till I was short of breath, and was pushed out by the atmosphere of the first level world.”

“You dare speak nonsense again!”

“I don’t dare!”

“Then you’d better explain to me what the hell happened that made you laugh like this.” 5

The disciple, evidently fearing the sword cave, related his story calmly and clearly. After he finished speaking, he laughed for a while before realizing that the atmosphere had become tense.

“I have been truthful in my every word, I dare not hide or lie. Others can corroborate my story!”

Upon hearing this, the crowd gasped collectively.

“You’re saying, Yang Zhen, in front of dozens of Golden Core Stage practitioners, snatched the realm treasure and ran away?”

“Luo Kun was robbed of the realm treasure by Yang Zhen and didn’t catch up with him?”

“Impossible, a Golden Core Stage practitioner, even if they let Yang Zhen, who is at the Foundation Establishment Stage, hack at them, they won’t be hacked down m a single strike, let alone get injured?”

“Nonsense, absolute nonsense!”

The crowd chattered in disbelief, mainly because the events the disciple described were too stunningly absurd to believe.

Seeing the crowd’s disbelief, the disciple was so anxious that he paced in circles, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the incident was so unbelievable that even he had trouble believing it.

A cold snort rang out, and a path opened in the crowd. The bald monk and the middle-aged gentleman walked up to the disciple and asked sternly, “Is everything you said the truth?”

The disciple’s face changed dramatically upon seeing the two of them. He dared not conceal anything and promptly nodded, saying, “Everything I’ve said is true. If there’s the least bit of falsehood, I’m willing to bear the torture of thunder punishment!”

“Yang Zhen!” the middle-aged gentleman gritted his teeth and said word by word, a strong killing intent flashing in his eyes.

The bald monk standing next to him looked peculiar, and was equally furious.

Hua Youyue and Tan Fenglie looked at each other and simultaneously started to laugh bitterly. The more Tan Fenglie laughed, the more he couldn’t help himself, and he was almost moved to tears of laughter on the spot.

Yang Zhen was truly despicable, right down to his bones.

The white-bearded old man pondered for a moment, then lowered his head and said to the Golden Core Stage disciple beside him, “After going in, try your best not to provoke that Yang Zhen.”

The disciple agreed and nodded, a strange expression flashing in his eyes.

In the second-level world, Yang Zhen wasn’t in a hurry to find the realm treasure as it wasn’t something he would be able to find in a short time.

He first found a place to hide and took out the first-level world realm treasure that looked like a lollipop.

The fruit turned crimson black after picking. It emitted a strong essence fluctuation and there was a bizarre aura and fragrance, which made people really want to take a bite.

“I wonder if I can eat this thing directly?”

Yang Zhen murmured to himself. In the end, he gave in to his hunger and crunched into it, juice filling his mouth.

Although he didn’t know the name of this thing, Yang Zhen could feel that it was edible.

As expected, the realm treasure melted in his mouth. As soon as it entered his abdomen, it immediately erupted with an enormous burst of energy, soaring hke a raging fire, almost burning Yang Zhen to ashes.

Yang Zhen didn’t expect this thing to be so terrifying after being consumed. He hurriedly operated the Shangyuan Ancient Scripture to the extreme.

Massive waves of Qi thundered down from the sky, the frenzied Heaven and Earth Qi condensed into a gigantic funnel-shaped vortex, pouring straight towards Yang Zhen’s head.

Boom!

An earthshaking roar erupted within Yang Zhen’s spiritual sea, causing it to churn and roll violently, resounding like a deafening hymn.

Countless galaxies hung upside down in mid-air, forming amidst the rolling and falling thunder. In an instant, a star-filled sky was formed above him.

Yang Zhen immersed himself in it; flashes of realization surged forth. For a moment, he was stupefied by the starry sky above.

Fruit of Creation!

Yang Zhen suddenly remembered this name. This was a fruit that could evoke perception of Heaven and Earth. Extremely rare, and priceless. It was not just a matter of a hundred thousand crystal stones. If the Fruit of Creation appeared on the Nether State Continent, even five hundred thousand crystal stones wouldn’t be enough to purchase it.

He hadn’t thought that he would consume such a valuable fruit; Yang Zhen smacked his lips.

Delicious!

If Luo Kun knew that he’d tricked and sneaked around, buying the Fruit of Creation with a mere hundred thousand crystal stones and then swallowed it whole, he would probably die of anger.

Boom!

After the cloud layer in the sky dispersed, the Star Map, formed by the Fruit of Creation in the spiritual sea, gradually stabilized. Yang Zhen glanced at it and instantly developed a deeper understanding of Heaven and Earth.

At that moment, the Shangyuan Ancient Scripture erupted with a strong fluctuation of Qi. Massive waves of potent Heaven and Earth Qi surged towards Yang Zhen. The Qi around Yang Zhen fluctuated dramatically, spiking to its peak!

Minor Mahayana Phase!

Entering the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower for less than a day, Yang Zhen managed to break through to the Minor Mahayana Phase.

Yang Zhen stretched lazily. After standing up, he heard cracking sounds from inside his body.

After breaking through to the Minor Mahayana Phase, Yang Zhen’s perception of the Qi around him became even more acute. What delighted Yang Zhen even more was that he found room for growth in the Ancient Thunder Emperor Body Art.

Moreover, Yang Zhen was confident now that if Luo Kun dared to disrespect him again, he could sever one of his arms with a single strike of Dayan Wind and Thunder Sword.

After all, Yang Zhen had only just broken through to the Minor Mahayana Phase.

At that moment, a voice laced with surprise and mockery rang out, “I didn’t expect to run into you here!”

Yang Zhen turned to look. Where he had just concealed himself, Yun fie was looking at him with amusement.

Yun Jie leaped off the rock, landing in front of Yang Zhen. The long sword in his hand shimmered with cold light as he pointed at Yang Zhen and exclaimed: “When I was passing by, I sensed a powerful Qi fluctuation. Driven by curiosity I came to take a look, and found you…”

Yun Jie was clearly in high spirits. He smiled and said, “What surprised me more was that you broke through to the Minor Mahayana Phase so soon. But I am not Luo Kun. Even if your cultivation speed is fast, you will still fall short compared to me if I take you seriously.”

While saying this, Yun Jie extended his left hand and told Yang Zhen “Give me the Fruit of Creation. Never would I have thought that it would end up in my hands.”

Yang Zhen watched Yun Jie’s one-man show in amazement and then shrugged, “Unfortunately, what you least expected is the fact that I’ve already eaten the Fruit of Creation!”

“Eaten…you ate it?” Yun Jie was stunned.

Yang Zhen blinked his eyes, “How about that? Surprised? Delighted?”

Yun Jie looked at Yang Zhen flabbergasted, his lips trembling, “You…you wastrel, you actually…actually ate the Fruit of Creation?”

“Well, what else should I have done?” Yang Zhen smirked, “Saved it for planting?”

“You…you…Do you realize how precious the Fruit of Creation is? You actually ate it? I’m going to kill you!”

Boom!

Enraged, Yun Jie moved to attack. The longsword in his hand suddenly erupted with a dazzling golden light. His formidable aura, like a dragon, roared and charged at Yang Zhen..
