Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes - Chapter 512

Chapter 512: Chapter 518: Yang Zhen? Is it Yang Zhen? (Third Update)

“The time of a short breath was already enough!” There suddenly appeared a staff-like weapon in Elder Qian’s hand. He heavily thrust it into the ground, instantly erupting a horrifying aura.

“Sacred weapon!” Sha Clan Elder’s face changed as he spurted a dark pearl from his mouth, launching it against the array.

Rumble Rumble——!

A dazzling light erupted from the array. With a loud bang, a crack opened. The peerlessly beautiful female slave of the underworld in mid-air shuddered and looked in the direction of Elder Qian and Sha Clan Elder.

Elder Qian shouted in a stern voice, “Open!”

Following Elder Qian’s words, the staff-like sacred weapon suddenly roared. Amidst the rolling waves of air, Elder Qian burst into the mountain gate.

Everyone watched Elder Qian enter with astonishment, their faces showing a look of amazement.

The peerlessly beautiful female underworld slave seemed to sense Elder Qian’s aura and slowly turned around, pointing her slender finger at him.

“Wait!” Elder Qian hurriedly shouted, but it was already too late. A terrifying beam of light surged towards him. Elder Qian swiftly rushed towards the Thousand-Spirit Saintess.

Boom——!

An earth-shattering noise resounded. After the terrifying beam of light hit the ground, there was a sensation of an earth-shaking movement.

Everyone was startled by the terrifying methods of the beautiful female underworld slave. They hastily backed away, afraid that in her anger, she would kill them too.

Even as a mighty figure like Elder Qian, he seemed quite debilitated in face of the beautiful underworld slave.

The beautiful underworld slave seemed surprised that Elder Qian was able to evade her attack. Her expression paused for a moment, then she stopped and quietly watched Elder Qian.

Elder Qian took a deep breath and said to the beautiful underworld slave, “I intended no offense, please let us leave!”

Then, Elder Qian said to the Thousand-Spirit Saintess, “You leave first!”

The Thousand-Spirit Saintess shook her head and said, “Can’t leave. I tried. She won’t let anyone leave this place!”

“What?”

Hearing the Thousand-Spirit Saintess’s words, Elder Qian’s expression immediately changed. He looked at the beautiful underworld slave with an uncertain expression.

The beautiful underworld slave might not be intelligent, but her methods were overly strong. Every move she made seemed to determine the life and death of the practitioners in the mountain gate.

Every practitioner in the mountain gate who was still alive turned pale and stared blankly at the beautiful underworld slave. Apparently, they had never seen such a terrifying existence.

Elder Qian took another deep breath and said, “I never thought that at my age, I would still see an existence like an underworld slave.”

Senior, what exactly is an underworld slave?” asked a practitioner nervously, completely motionless and afraid.

“Underworld Slave…” Elder Qian spoke in a low voice and slowly explained, “An underworld slave is an extremely cruel soul trapping method from ancient times, chosen by practitioners who achieve divine transformation stage only as a last resort. If they weren’t faced with certain death, nobody would choose this method to carry on living.”

“Alive… is the underworld slave alive?”

Elder Qian nodded, and then shook his head, saying, “Strictly speaking, the underworld slave is not alive, she just exists in a kind of undead state. She can only awaken past life memories upon attaining saintess status in the undead state. Judging from the current situation, the underworld slave here seems to be close to breaking through the peak of the Divine Transformation Stage.”

Hiss——!

Hearing Elder Qian’s words, everyone on the scene sighed, looking uncertain as they watched the calm underworld slave.

In the Undying Clan’s mountain gate, there were lifelike corpses everywhere. Whenever the underworld slave looked at these corpses, a puzzled expression would flash in her eyes.

Gradually, people realized that even if they were in the mountain gate, as long as they stood still, the underworld slave would not attack them, as if she couldn’t see them.

“Elder, it seems that the shadow maiden couldn’t hear or see us, what should we do now?” The practitioner asked, hope glinting in his eyes, as he turned to Elder Qian.

Elder Qian chuckled wryly and said, “It’s not that she can’t see us, it’s just that we haven’t continued to break through the mountain gate, so she doesn’t want to act against us.”

The practitioner turned pale, and as he exchanged glances with the others, their faces darkened.

“So are we just supposed to stand here and wait?”

Elder Qian took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Given the current situation, we can only wait. The shadow maiden might leave or she might stay here indefinitely… we can only leave it to fate!”

The Thousand-Spirit Saintess looked at Elder Qian, a glint of apology in her ink-colored eyes. She spoke softly, “Elder Qian, I have dragged you into this.”

Elder Qian roared with laughter and replied, “What are you talking about? If I were to just leave now, how would I face the Ancient Spirit Race? By the way, what has Yang Zhen been up to?”

When the Thousand-Spirit Saintess thought of how Yang Zhen had ignored her, she said grudgingly, “That bastard has gone to the Undying Clan’s secret treasure house. He’s probably about to come out now.”

“What?” Elder Qian was taken aback, then laughed, “That’s rather in keeping with Yang Zhen’s style, but I am surprised that he could find the Undying Clan’s secret inheritance so quickly.”

When she recalled how pitiful Lu Tianwei looked, still collapsed on a piece of rock jutting from the cliff, the Thousand-Spirit Saintess suddenly burst into laughter, brightening the gloomy surroundings with her charm.

The Thousand-Spirit Saintess and the shadow maiden were complete opposites. Both were breathtakingly beautiful, yet one had no signs of life while the other seemed like a figure from a traditional ink painting – they complemented each other and stood out in their unique ways.

Suddenly, thundering sounds echoed from the nearby forest. A fierce power broke out and shot up to the sky, startling everyone.

“Is it Yang Zhen? Could it be him?”

A few individuals lit up, some even blurting out his name. Many were hoping that the bigger the commotion, the better, in that it might draw away the shadow maiden, allowing them the chance to escape.

The rumbling sound grew louder, the ground shaking as if mountains were collapsing. Torrents of dust swirled upward, the scene eerily resembling a horrific natural disaster.

Seeing the shadow maiden looking towards the direction of the shockwave, the thrill of surprise flashed across everyone’s faces.

Clearly, the shadow maiden had noticed the situation over there.

Boom––!

A deafening explosion echoed and a small mountain in the continuous range seemed to have shattered.

Amidst the collapsing rocks, a wave of black air billowed, casting a dark cloud that blotted out the sky. An eerie aura enveloped the heavens and earth, as if a colossal beast was growling, or a low roar was emanating from the Nine Nether Purgatory.

“What… has happened?”

All of them stared in bewilderment towards the epicenter of the upheaval, their faces switching colors in fear and uncertainty.

“This direction, it indeed seems to be coming from the Undying Clan’s secret inheritance, but… what is this black haze all about?” The Thousand-Spirit Saintess said in hesitation.

Whoosh––!

Just as the Thousand-Spirit Saintess finished speaking, a dark shadow shot into the sky and, with an inconceivable speed, raced towards them. It appeared right in front of everyone in the blink of an eye, causing a scare.

However, even though the figure moved at incredible speeds, it didn’t stop. Instead, it dashed through the mountain gate of the Undying Clan and crashed outside with a loud noise, breaking the rocks and raising clouds of dust.

Everyone recoiled in surprise and hastily retreated, their eyes wide in shock, looking at the crater in the field of rocks with bewildered expressions.

“Lu Tianwei?”

The next moment, all the practitioners who had seen the figure in the pit exclaimed in shock.
