Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes

Chapter 624: Chapter 631: The Realm Has Improved Again! (First Update)

Due to the terrifying sound, Yang Zhen decided to go and take a look.

The words sounded odd, but Yang Zhen would really be on edge until he figured out what was making that noise.

Wen Yuning’s face had lost all color from fear. She was following closely behind Yang Zhen and the others, unknowingly holding a cold gleaming long sword in her hand. The multicolored shadow it cast indicated that it wasn’t a common item.

Ding Chun was about to pull out his weapon when he saw Wen Yuning’s state. Clearing his throat, he put it away and came to Wen Yuning’s side. Speaking in a deep voice, he said, “Junior Sister, you are safe, I will protect you.”

Wen Yuning nodded slightly and looked up at Gong Sanhe, who was whispering something to Death Shadow and Yang Zhen.

Being so close, she heard Yang Zhen’s words and was taken aback. She couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile.

“I believe that whatever this thing is, it can’t be good. We should seize it and beat it a hundred times on the ground. Virtue is the best persuasion.”

Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, Death Shadow’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, but his eyes were as bright as lightbulbs. He said hurriedly, “Let me do it, let me do it.”

Seeing Death Shadow acting this way, Gong Sanhe had a baffled look on his face. Death Shadow felt embarrassed and said defensively, “What? Suddenly realizing that virtue is the ultimate truth in this world, is that wrong?”

Gong Sanhe nodded seriously and said, “Correct!”

“Well, then!” Death Shadow snickered and moved close to Yang Zhen. He said, “Boy, let me deal with it.”

Yang Zhen gave him a strange look, nodded, and wondered if this cranky old man had left some psychological trauma?

Enthusiastically, Death Shadow strode forward, his eerie laughter sending chills down everyone’s spine, causing even the mysterious sound ahead to falter.

The group continued forward. The ominous aura grew stronger, evoking unsettling feelings, as if they were gradually stepping into the depths of hell. The atmosphere was eerie and terrifying, but it also had a strangely perplexing sensation.

Of course, this wasn’t really hell. In reality, no one could be certain that hell even existed.

The further they went, the more familiar the situation felt to Yang Zhen—like he’d had this same experience before.

However, Yang Zhen didn’t give this sensation much thought. Many illusion formations could induce this sense of déjà vu. Plus, when he was on Azure Planet, Yang Zhen had often had a similar experience—suddenly encountering something that felt like it had occurred in the past.

Feeling this strange was uncanny, so he ignored it.

Yang Zhen had just decided to let it go when his expression changed abruptly.

Damn, he remembered. It wasn’t déjà vu—he had indeed experienced this situation before. At that moment, an image of a building suddenly flashed in Yang Zhen’s mind.

The Nine Realms Exquisite Tower!

No one knew what lay at the topmost level of the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower. The woman Yang had met inside the tower was undeniably a Great Saint!

Yang Zhen couldn’t be sure before—after all, he wasn’t even aware of the existence of the Great Saint realm. He only knew that the woman was as beautiful as the legendary fairies and that she could cleave the heaven and earth with just one stroke of her sword. That terrifying strike left a deep impression on Yang Zhen even now.

His grasp of her technique was a mere fraction of her power—a tenth or even less.

Upon this realization, Yang Zhen’s eyes progressively widened. The aura of this place, though not exactly the same as the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, carried a similar ancient and wild aura. However, the Yin energy here was more intense and the wailing sounds were incredibly unsettling.

Seeing the complicated look on Yang Zhen’s face, Wen Yuning asked, “Young Master Yang, are you okay?”

Yang Zhen was startled and took a deep breath. Seeing Gong Sanhe and the others looking over, he shook his head and said, “I’m fine. There might be a Great Saint in this place. Be careful!”

“Great Saint?” Death Shadow’s eyes went wide with shock. He then shook his head and said, “Impossible, all the Great Saints vanished, leaving no traces. How could there possibly be one here…Wait, do you mean this place might have trapped a Great Saint?”

Yang Zhen didn’t answer but looked strangely at Death Shadow and asked, “What did you mean when you said all the Great Saints vanished?”

Death Shadow was taken aback and avoided the question.

Gong Sanhe gave a sigh and said, “It’s not a secret that can’t be told.”

Death Shadow was taken aback and glanced over at Gong Sanhe, smirking, “Kid, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, the less you know about this matter the better. Curiosity killed the cat.”

Yang Zhen chuckled and said to Death Shadow, “Do you think that I, the Sao Saint, can pretend to be ignorant of this matter?”

Gong Sanhe and Death Shadow exchanged glances, sighing, “We knew it, you couldn’t.”

Death Shadow laughed heartily, “I knew it. I’ve never been wrong about people. Young man, people don’t know why the Grand Saint disappeared, but I do. Everyone who knew why the Grand Saint disappeared…they’re all dead!”

“All dead?” Yang Zhen was shocked.

Isn’t this situation similar to the fate of the craftsman soldiers who built tombs for emperors on the Blue Planet in ancient times?

Even with their royal status, no one in the entire world knew where their tombs were after they died. How was such a secret kept?

Just like how all the Grand Saints suddenly disappeared, and no one in the cultivation world knew why or where they went.

From Death Shadow’s words, those who knew were all dead. Were they silenced by the Grand Saints?

It was unlikely. Even the disappeared Grand Saints probably didn’t know that by telling their secrets, they were actually hurting those around them.

This was strange indeed!

Yang Zhen thought about it. The matter had something to do with the great celestial calamity. As for what exactly, it was beyond his current comprehension.

And who was the exquisitely beautiful female saint at the topmost layer of the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower? Which Grand Saint was the one who set up the grand scheme within the Heavenly Machine Lock?

Yang Zhen always believed that the beautiful female saint within the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower wasn’t dead. And that meant the Grand Saints may also not be dead here. They were… trying to save themselves!

No matter if those Grand Saints succeeded in saving themselves or not, Yang Zhen had basically figured it out. During the transcendent era, there were great changes. People became disillusioned. Grand Saints, and those great emperors, all faced some irresistible danger. Some died, some were injured, and some tried to save themselves.

The result of this great celestial calamity was the disruption of succession, the slumber of races, and the disappearance of Grand Saints and great emperors from everyone’s sight.

Millennia later, when Yang Zhen came to the cultivation world, everyone was still ceaselessly exploring the mysteries of the transcendent era!

Yang Zhen suddenly burst into laughter. He was so energetic that he felt a sudden surge of power, and his level skyrocketed.

This sudden laughter frightened the already tense team. Ding Chun almost stabbed Yang Zhen on the spot. Glaring at Yang Zhen, he barked, “Are you crazy? What’s there to laugh about suddenly?”

Yang Zhen ignored him and took a deep breath, muttering to himself, “What transcendent mystery? It’s gradually being uncovered in the face of my seamless reasoning.”

Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, Gong Sanhe and Death Shadow shivered with disbelief, watching Yang Zhen.

Death Shadow in particular rushed up to cover Yang Zhen’s mouth.

“Shut up you crazy kid! Are the secrets of the transcendent days something to be discussed casually? Be careful of getting struck by lightning!”

Yang Zhen curled his lip, shook off Death Shadow’s hand and muttered, “If you say don’t tell, then I won’t!”

With Yang Zhen’s current strength, ordinary lightning would only make him feel more comfortable. What he dreaded was the Black Thunder.

Damn, that thing could be deadly, capable of destroying everything. Even if he encountered a Black Thunder as thin as a fingernail, he would be killed in an instant, turned into dust!

“Let’s first try to figure out which Grand Saint buried himself in this damned place!”

After saying that, Yang Zhen headed towards where the wailing originated.

“Wait!” Death Shadow suddenly shouted.

“What’s up?”

Death Shadow looked at Yang Zhen in disbelief, murmuring, “What did you just do? Why do I feel like your level has increased again?”
