Chapter 1256 Humiliation
Just as Chen Yang and Bei Xuan were pondering what exactly this place was, a furious roar echoed throughout the anomaly.
"Villain, seeking death!"
Chen Yang found the voice very familiar.
It sounded very much like the Winged God he had encountered before!
After exchanging glances, Chen Yang and Bei Xuan immediately headed towards the direction of the sound.
There was at least one thing better in this unknown space compared to the outside world.
That was the absence of spiritual energy storms here.
However, to reach the source of the sound, they had to traverse several anomalies.
Upon entering the first anomaly of inverted heaven and earth, Chen Yang and Bei Xuan immediately lost their sense of direction.
When looking at their surroundings, Chen Yang found he could only see in one direction.
For instance, when looking at Bei Xuan, he could only see Bei Xuan's front, with no perception whatsoever of his back!
This was a terrifying matter!
Even using spiritual power yielded the same result.
"This anomaly is likely designed to seal off the senses!"
After speaking, Chen Yang found Bei Xuan staring blankly at him, blinking without a word.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yang spoke again, and Bei Xuan finally reacted.
Chen Yang saw Bei Xuan open his mouth, his throat moving, but not a single sound emerged.
He instantly realized that their voices probably couldn't reach each other's ears.
Fortunately, through spiritual energy transmission, they reconnected their communication.
"What in the world is this place?"
"It can even invert my senses?"
Bei Xuan found that even the kasaya he wore was useless in this space.
"The bronze cauldron also shows no reaction. If I'm not mistaken, the anomaly we are in is something that exists completely."
Chen Yang gestured to the dust flowing in the middle, which had a very strange texture.
The object was indeed in Chen Yang's hand, and he could clearly feel the dust.
But Chen Yang felt an insurmountable distance between himself and the dust.
Although he could influence the flow of the dust, he couldn't influence its disappearance.
Bei Xuan didn't immediately grasp Chen Yang's meaning.
"An anomaly is an anomaly, and it will eventually disappear. How can this thing exist completely?"
As for anomalies, according to Bei Xuan's understanding, one type was heavenly anomalies. When spiritual energy gathered in a certain place, a heavenly anomaly caused by spiritual energy would appear.
Such anomalies were immensely beneficial for cultivation.
Another type of anomaly was the means of powerful individuals.
They could use their own powerful spiritual energy to create temporary anomalies.
But once the supporting spiritual energy was gone, such anomalies would instantly collapse.
Neither of these two types of anomalies could exist forever.
Chen Yang's guess was clearly incorrect.
Hearing Bei Xuan's doubt, Chen Yang pushed the dust in his hand towards Bei Xuan and transmitted his voice: "Try it yourself."
Bei Xuan, with a frown, touched the dust. The next second, his eyes revealed an expression of utter shock.
"This... how was this method achieved?"
"The anomaly truly exists, and both parties influence each other, but neither is destroyed by the other?"
Bei Xuan gasped.
Chen Yang smiled wryly, "I don't know clearly either! But can the Nascent Soul realm truly achieve such things?"
Although Chen Yang was currently only in the Combined Core realm, not yet at the Great Perfection, he had gained considerable understanding of the Great Perfection existences in the Combined Core realm.
Their strength was the strongest, and what they could achieve was within Chen Yang's acceptable range.
Their strength was visibly immense, but it was absolutely not as transcendent as what he was witnessing.
If the leap in the Nascent Soul realm was truly this significant, then the matter of breakthrough...
Chen Yang felt his scalp tingle.
After passing through the anomaly of inverted heaven and earth, as soon as they entered the anomaly of demonic energy, Bei Xuan's kasaya instantly expanded.
The massive kasaya shielded both Bei Xuan and Chen Yang.
Buddha's light shone from the kasaya, repelling all the surrounding demonic energy.
Bei Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled at Chen Yang, "How about it? Isn't my Buddhist treasure quite good?"
Although the demonic energy outside was powerful, it couldn't break through the kasaya at all.
The entire kasaya was undoubtedly the most radiant existence within the anomaly of demonic energy.
"It is indeed a good thing!"
Even Chen Yang couldn't help but marvel at the effect of the Buddhist treasure.
After passing through two anomalies without incident, looking at the falling lightning before them, Bei Xuan swallowed and nervously mumbled to Chen Yang, "My realm is lower than yours, you go first to scout the way?"
Chen Yang naturally knew that Bei Xuan's strength couldn't withstand this. He immediately took out the bronze cauldron to shield them.
Now, this was the most likely thing to block the falling lightning.
However, just as the two entered the anomaly of falling lightning, the thunderclouds actually avoided Chen Yang.
Chen Yang, shocked, tried to put away the bronze cauldron, only to find that the falling lightning still didn't strike them.
"What is going on?"
Both Bei Xuan and Chen Yang were somewhat bewildered.
After all, such a situation had never occurred before.
Bei Xuan speculated, "Could it be related to the luck you carry?"
Chen Yang shook his head solemnly, "Luck can at most reduce the number of times one is struck by lightning, but it cannot be like this."
Chen Yang inexplicably felt something strange. Ever since he killed the bloody figure, he had felt that something was observing him from the shadows.
Now, the reaction of the falling lightning made Chen Yang even more certain of this.
Being a pawn for someone else was what Chen Yang hated the most.
However, despite his anger, Chen Yang understood that he couldn't do anything about it right now.
After all, the other party hadn't revealed any flaws.
"Let's not worry about this for now, let's just get out of here!"
...
After the two left the anomaly of falling lightning, Chen Yang immediately saw the Winged God in the distance.
At this moment, the Winged God was no longer as glorious as before.
His pair of pure white wings were covered in bloodstains, and scarlet feathers drifted in the air.
Facing the Winged God were Sheng Yue Shen Zun and a cultivator in the Combined Core Great Perfection realm.
"Sheng Yue Shen Zun! You are truly seeking death!" The Winged God's eyes were bloodshot as he gnashed his teeth at Sheng Yue Shen Zun.
The Winged God never expected that Sheng Yue Shen Zun would ultimately reap the benefits.
They, several Combined Core Great Perfection cultivators, had risked their lives and finally found that item, only for Sheng Yue Shen Zun to take it!
Sheng Yue Shen Zun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glanced expressionlessly at Shi Tianning, who lay in a pool of blood.
Shi Tianning now had no signs of life!
Sheng Yue Shen Zun felt a chill of fear.
If he hadn't made arrangements beforehand, he would have been the one to die!
