Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes

Chapter 769: Chapter 775: Why Don’t You Try First? (5/10)

It was terrifying, simply terrifying.

Wherever Yang Zhen went, holes and ditches opened up, wooden stakes large and small shot out randomly. The situation was so frantic that the crowd was left dazed. Seeing blood flow from the corner of Yang Zhen’s mouth, everyone gasped in horror.

Just from making it from one hole to another, Lin Haotian was hit by a rock, their hearts trembled at the sight of Yang Zhen in such a chaotic and dangerous state.

Even the color drained from Lin Haotian’s face, he looked at Yang Zhen in utter disbelief, his expression baffled.

“This… it’s simply impossible to pass. When did Mount Sumeru become so terrifying?”

“Oh my, look, Yang Zhen almost got hit on the head by a stake. If it had landed, his brain would have splattered.”

...

“I originally thought Mount Sumeru was only targeting Young Master Lin. But with Yang Zhen going up there and ending up in this state, did he somehow offend heaven and earth?”

“What kind of restriction could cause such exaggeration? Look, Yang Zhen fell down.”

Around forty to fifty people, all stretching their necks to exclaim at once, as they saw Yang Zhen fall with a swoosh, their hearts almost leaped out.

A hint of relief flashed across Lin Haotian’s face, apparently feeling much better.

He had tried twice without reaching the top. If Yang Zhen managed to make it, where would he hide his face?

He had been vocally declaring that he would kill Yang Zhen, aiming to defeat him when he was most defenseless. Now, if Yang Zhen managed to climb Mount Sumeru, not only would Lin Haotian not be able to kill him, but he would lose face in front of the entire Western Region.

Fortunately, Yang Zhen fell too.

A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Lin Haotian’s mouth, full of disdain. Yang Zhen was nothing more, and he was even more unlucky, touching such horrific restrictions on Mount Sumeru, simply ten times, no, a hundred times worse than him.

However, before the mockery on Lin Haotian’s face could fully form, he suddenly shivered, his mouth almost cramping.

Yang Zhen who fell down had some kind of great fortune, he ended up stepping on one of the protruding stakes trying to stab him. His whole body suddenly leaped up and charged towards Mount Sumeru once again.

Everyone started to cheer, watching the thrilling scene of Yang Zhen’s narrow escape from death excited them.

The likes of Yunla were looking at each other with befuddled expressions, though they were somewhat suspicious, the dangers Yang Zhen faced were real, and the way it made their hairs stand on end didn’t seem fake at all.

Could it be that the changes in Mount Sumeru weren’t caused by Yang Zhen?

A look of uncertainty flashed in Mo Shuiyan’s eyes, she suddenly remembered that Yang Zhen seemed to have some means to control the earth.

Could it really not be Yang Zhen’s doing?

If it wasn’t Yang Zhen, then who among the people present would dare to offend Lin Haotian so?

No one present would dare to offend Lin Haotian lightly. In other words, the restrictions of Mount Sumeru were likely not man-made, but due to uncontrollable changes on Mount Sumeru itself.

There were no fools among the favored ones. After many had gradually understood this point, the looks they gave Lin Haotian were somewhat dismissive.

Obviously, this bastard was just trying to find an excuse.

Who dares to manipulate the changes in Mount Sumeru’s stones to offend you?

Who is capable of manipulating such substantial changes in the stones of Mount Sumeru?

The excuse he came up with was just a joke.

Lin Haotian obviously noticed the expressions on people’s faces, his face gradually darkened, he looked at Yang Zhen with a dumbfounded expression, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

When Yang Zhen leaped up, he didn’t come down again, as if he had gotten used to the process, he quickly made his way up Mount Sumeru.

The moment Yang Zhen climbed onto Mount Sumeru, the cheers from everyone on the scene suddenly quieted down. In the deathly silence, only the heavy breathing and the gritting sound from Lin Haotian’s teeth were exceptionally piercing.

Lin Haotian didn’t make it.

Yang Zhen did…

The looks of disbelief and curiosity flashed across everyone’s faces as they secretly glanced at Lin Haotian, who had turned ashen.

Lin Haotian didn’t make it.

Yang Zhen moved up, facing prohibitions far more terrifying than those Lin Haotian faced, a hundred times over!

Did this mean that Yang Zhen was even more formidable than Lin Haotian?

At the very least, Lin Haotian was no match for Yang Zhen in terms of body forging and reactionary abilities.

Facing the burning rage on Lin Haotian’s face, nobody dared to speak out for fear of angering him and inciting potential violence.

If Lin Haotian wanted to kill, everyone present would need to team up; otherwise, their survival was uncertain.

Suddenly, an odd cry from Yang Zhen echoed from the mountain’s peak, startling everyone present.

“Honored friends, I’ve succeeded in my task. Not only did I reach the top, I’ve managed to root out the source of Mount Sumeru’s transformation and have eliminated it. You all can ascend now.”

Could they really climb now?

Cheers erupted from the crowd, gratitude pouring out for Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen didn’t venture alone into the depths of Mount Sumeru; instead, he thought of the group and wiped out the prohibitions.

Who was it that said Yang Zhen was a shameless scoundrel?

Yang Zhen was only acting his natural self. When it came to important matters, he was quite chivalrous.

Upon hearing that Yang Zhen had eliminated the prohibitions, everyone’s perception of him shifted drastically, almost forgetting the initial trick Yang Zhen pulled that led them into the ruins on the mountaintop.

Compared to Lin Haotian, Yang Zhen was undoubtedly a role model.

Anyone who dared to call Yang Zhen a shameless scoundrel in the future would have to answer to me first!

As many expressed their gratitude towards Yang Zhen and began making their way up the mountain, they noticed the absence of potholes and peaks, provoking even more cheers from the crowd.

Watching as half of the crowd ascended, Lin Haotian’s face showed a flicker of confusion as he followed suit. Finding no prohibitions, his expression became even stranger.

A dumbstruck Lin Haotian took out his Sumeru Seal from his pocket, a look of cluelessness on his face as he trailed behind Yang Zhen, heading towards the heart of Mount Sumeru.

At this point, many of those favored by the Heavens had completed their trials. Without a doubt, Yang Zhen led the way, being the first to find and ascend Mount Sumeru.

Not only that, but Yang Zhen also helped everyone to ascend. Even if some were reluctant, they didn’t feel any jealousy or hatred, instead harboring a sense of gratitude towards Yang Zhen.

Those who could climb Mount Sumeru would be rewarded by the Yaochi Holy Land. Without Yang Zhen, no one present could have managed to climb up.

That was a no-brainer. If even Lin Haotian couldn’t climb up, how could they?

Only a puzzling fellow like Yang Zhen could manage it.

At this point, a conjecture popped back into everyone’s mind. Could Yang Zhen really have cultivated twenty Heavenly Brilliances?

Although it was impossible to verify Yunla’s words, they had all witnessed or heard of the ten Heavenly Brilliances revolving around Yang Zhen.

Which meant, at the very least, Yang Zhen was a cultivator with ten Heavenly Brilliances, on par with Lin Haotian.

Eventually, their expressions changed as if they had walked into a place filled with an extremely peculiar aura.

The very next moment, Yunla coldly snorted, saying, “Be careful, everyone. There’s a strange force here that can affect the mind.”

Buzz!

A hum wafted through the air, only for a pale pink glow to envelop the surrounding area of Mount Sumeru. As everyone’s faces dramatically changed, they urgently began running the Nameless Heart Method. @@novelbin@@

Even Lin Haotian, stunned as he was, released the internal light from his body.

Walking in front, Yang Zhen suddenly let out a cry, releasing ten Heavenly Brilliances while wearing an odd expression. “There seems to be an entrance here, but… it’s somewhat difficult to get in. Could this be the core? Brother Lin, Brother Lin, why don’t you give it a try first?”

The corner of Lin Haotian’s mouth twitched while he gave Yang Zhen a gloomy look.
