Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes

Chapter 720: Chapter 726: This is What They Call Style! (Third Update)

Innumerable people stared openly at the furious Senior Zhou, who grinned and stepped aside, leaving everyone with expressions of utter confusion.

This time around, even the practitioners who initially doubted the rumors about Yunla and his group shut their mouths, their eyes flickering with suspicion.

Despite the Five Tribes’ previously commanding presence on the Northern Island, they were now forced to swallow their pride in the face of Yunla’s group. This only served to increase the enigma surrounding Yunla and his compatriots.

With Yunla’s group’s qualifications, what were the conditions they couldn’t satisfy? Why did they have to travel thousands of miles to the Northern Island to search for the Chosen Ones?

Just how many people was the Third Saintess of Jade Pool in the Western Region trying to find?

And what were they planning to do with all these Chosen Ones?

On the streets, rooftops, mountains, and skies, countless people watched events unfold in stunned silence. Whether it was the Five Tribes or Yunla’s group, both were the most astonishing entities under this tremendous cosmic shift. None of them were simple to deal with.

At this moment, someone exclaimed, “Yang Zhen is here!”

At these words, everyone collectively shuddered, their gazes simultaneously turning in the direction of the voice. This included the four members of Yunla’s group, all curiously observing Yang Zhen.

Senior Zhou harrumphed coldly and moved to the side with the intention of staying out of it.

Although the day’s events had not gone according to Senior Zhou’s initial plans, there was still a chance. If Yang Zhen was not valued by Yunla’s group, he could unreservedly flatten everything here, even kill Yang Zhen, to regain face for the Five Tribes of Northern Island.

Senior Zhou grinned at the unsteadiness of Yang Zhen’s approach. His visage gleamed with mockery. As far as he was concerned, Yang Zhen was as good as dead today.

Even within the Five Tribes, it would be difficult to find a young prodigy who was deemed worthy by Yunla’s group. How could Yang Zhen, a brash and arrogant youngster, possibly become one of the Chosen Ones?

Thinking of the title “Chosen Ones,” a sense of disbelief crossed Senior Zhou’s face as he started to laugh wildly.

Yunla, who was standing next to him, looked slightly confused. Turning to Senior Zhou, he asked with uncertainty, “Why are you laughing, Senior Zhou?”

Senior Zhou gave Yunla a glance. His gaze skimmed over the witch and the little beast, ignored the fat man whose presence barely registered, and then said, rather gleefully, “I just remembered something, you’ll likely leave disappointed after meeting Yang Zhen today.”

“Why?” Yunla cocked an eyebrow, giving Yang Zhen a sideway glance before asking Senior Zhou, “Are you sure Yang Zhen isn’t our chosen one?”

“Not just sure!” Senior Zhou shook his head and laughed, “I’m absolutely certain! You may not know this, but far from being a Chosen One, Yang Zhen has repeatedly offended the heavens; by now, I suspect he’s become an outcast of heaven and earth.”

“Oh?” The witch looked intrigued. She gave Yang Zhen a glance before asking, “An outcast of heaven and earth…has he undergone Heavenly Punishment?”

“It’s far more than just undergoing Heavenly Punishment!” Senior Zhou’s expression noticeably brightened as he said, “Not only will his tribulations be Heavenly Punishments, it’s also a special Heavenly Punishment. You could ask any practitioner on the Northern Island to confirm this.”

Even Yunla’s perpetual smile froze. He looked stupefied at Yang Zhen, who was grinning from ear to ear, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“How… how is he still alive?”

Upon hearing Yunla’s astonished words, Senior Zhou spoke gravely, “That’s a question we’ve deeply discussed before…”

Yunla was intrigued and asked curiously, “And the result?”

“The result…” Senior Zhou appeared hesitant before saying, “There is…no result. Given Yang Zhen’s temperament, he should have died countless times on his journey. Yet so far, he’s been doing just fine. Look at the smile on his face. Isn’t he happy?”

No one knew how Yang Zhen managed to survive up till now. This rascal had offended an untold number of people, even constantly antagonizing those who seemed unbeatable. Astonishingly, he managed to come back alive every time, leaving people in disbelief and somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that this man, who was bold enough to offend the heavens yet never seemed to die, was the living embodiment of the saying “Good people don’t live long, but troublemakers stay for a millennium”?

Yunla and his group exchanged glances, their faces expressing surprise as they watched Yang Zhen approach. Their demeanors took on a grave note.

Yunla, in particular, gazed at Yang Zhen and, after taking a deep breath, said, “This Yang Zhen, he’s a complicated one!”

Whether he was complex or not, even Yang Zhen himself didn’t know. But one thing was sure, he was really happy today.

Damn, no wonder so many people on the Azure Star want to become celebrities. The feeling of being at the center of attention was truly thrilling. Looking at this sea of people, you could say it was on par with a super A-lister’s concert.

At least superstars only had their fans on the ground. For him, to catch a glimpse, many people were going downright celestial.

Yang Zhen, grinning wide, strode forward like an international superstar, waving to the crowd. The sly cat watched him, perplexed, and asked, “Aren’t you scared of this big a scene?”

“Scared?” Yang Zhen dismissed with a snort, “You have not seen a bigger scene. Fans screaming your name hysterically, waving glowing weapons about and yelling with red faces. Now that’s scary. These folks here, they’re so restless. They could scream your ears out if you don’t sing for them.”

“Holy shit!” The sly cat was taken aback and looked confused: “How big a grudge is this!”

“Yes, exactly!” Yang Zhen chuckled, his eyes on Yunla’s group, admiring, “So these were the four who managed to intercept that Circulation Phase expert. Impressive indeed.”

“Kid, those four must be from the Western Region. They’re all extraordinary but watch out for that Yunla. I can sense there’s an ancient power about him. I’m not sure if he’s cultivated an ancient cultivation method or possesses an ancient Spirit Treasure.”

Yang Zhen blinked, glanced at Yunla, and nodded: “Primarily interested in those blessed by Heaven, this Sao Saint wonders why none from Northern Island have come.”

Almost as soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, a path appeared in the crowd as five people walked towards him. They carried themselves confidently, their powerful aura showing no less True Essence fluctuation than Yunla and his group.

Surprised gasps resonated from the crowd. Judging by the crowd’s reaction, these five were surely the Heaven-blessed geniuses from Northern Island.

“Damn it! To think Sao Saint wondered if Heaven-blessed folks were all that rare. Turns out there’re loads of them. More common than trinkets in street markets, huh?”

Yang Zhen gaped at the approaching group. He couldn’t recognize any of them. Clearly, they were those who had dwelled within their sect’s Sacred Land for years, cultivating in seclusion.

Their cultivation was considerable, and they were much stronger than the geniuses Yang Zhen had encountered before. He could even sense a fluctuation in fate around them. This was remarkable.

Should these individuals, like Yunla, hide their destiny, they would certainly cause ripples in the cultivation world.

Nine people blessed by the Heavens all gathered in Duck Water Gully, all looking at Yang Zhen.

Everyone held their breath, all eyes fixed on Yang Zhen. Confronting nine Heaven-blessed individuals, Yang Zhen’s halo seemed a bit dim. In all aspects, these nine seemed stronger than him, not just by a little, but a lot.

However, many were also vaguely hopeful. After all, Yang Zhen had a history of offending those stronger than him.

Yang Zhen dared declare he’d wait for Yunla and the others here. Obviously, he had something he could rely on.

As the crowd drew closer, everyone’s pulse quickened. Among the five Heaven-blessed individuals from Northern Island, two were from the Five Clans. The smirks on their faces were evident.

Yang Zhen wore a curious expression, admiring their airs, “Just look at them, this is what you call high-profile. Make sure the BGM is loud enough later on!”

“Absolutely!” The sly cat clutched his chest: “Boss Yang, you just wait and see!”
