“Senior Shengyuan!”
Seeing this scene, some cried out, unable to bear watching. Amidst the divine radiance filling the firmament, Saint Shengyuan’s robes fluttered as traces of loneliness showed on his aged face.
He sighed softly, somewhat helpless. At the same time, his eyes brimmed with unwillingness.
Buzz…
The golden longsword on his back also hummed softly. Sacred weapons had spirits. This one had accompanied Saint Shengyuan for so many years that their minds were long connected.
They both understood – this would likely be the final battle of their lives. Against a total of six saints, with unknown others potentially in the shadows, Shengyuan was surely doomed. The other side would never permit the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance to fall into human hands. Even the slightest chance would be annihilated.
This was the naked hostility of the myriad races! Yet the human race could only swallow their indignation.
“I didn’t expect this! Haha! I truly didn’t expect to perish here in Kun City! 1 became a saint 20,000 years ago and lived my life since. To die like this for the human race, 1 have no regrets!”
Saint Shengyuan shouted loudly, eyes gradually hardening with determination. His loose robes billowed as his decrepit body once again emitted a formidable aura, as vast as the ocean.
He was burning his own foundation. Even if he somehow lived through this day, his remaining lifespan would be minuscule.
“Today, even if I die, 1 will take you along! 1 want you to know that 1 want the myriad races of the Southern Region to know the human race is not someone you can casually bully! Let my life serve as a warning to the myriad races of the Southern Region!”
Saint Shengyuan roared, eyes filled with madness. Blood vessels crawled over his eyes, even his pitch-black pupils tainted crimson.
His face bore a crazed smile as endless radiance erupted from his body, like a blazing sun. In an instant it had banished the darkness for thousands of miles, extremely dazzling and brilliant.
“Oh no!”
“D*mn it!”
“This old bastard is trying to self-destruct!”
“Does this geezer want to die?”
“He wants to drag us down too!”
“D*mmit!”
When the six Saint Realm experts saw Saint Shengyuan’s madness, their expressions drastically changed. All instantly retracted their divine powers, transforming into streams of light to flee.
However, the instant they turned, time abruptly halted. Every blade of grass, tree, flower, and plant within ten thousand miles instantly froze. From Saint Realm experts to ordinary people, everyone was motionless.
Many still had faces of utter shock. Some had wanted to escape, but the moment their flying magic treasures activated, they were trapped in the void.
The entire world stopped as if transformed into a painting. Everyone’s consciousness froze in that instant.
Boom!
Next, the aura of an ancient saint began spreading, the shocking undulations like the end of the cosmos, rising and falling vastly.
The eternal blue sky itself seemed about to shatter. Everyone felt as if drowning, unable to breathe, their hearts gripped by an invisible hand.
Facing this pressure, saints and mortals alike felt minute, like ants before a lofty deity. Though not having appeared, just the aura itself had crushed all present.
“This… Impossible! A Great… Saint King Realm master?”
The six foreign saints exchanged shocked glances. A saint king emerging now was somewhat unexpected yet also reasonable. After all, the Chaotic Sea Star Region’s inheritances were exceedingly precious. Even Quasi-Emperor Realm experts had fallen here before. One or two saint kings appearing this time was understandable.
However, the sole thing that made them somewhat wary was – which race was this saint king from? And which side did this person lean towards?
If a Southern Region saint king, that would be fine. But if from another vast domain or the human race…that spelled trouble!
In contrast, the humans present all felt their hearts sink. Six Saint Realm experts were already plenty fearsome. Another saint king…the pressure would be unimaginable.
They no longer hoped a human saint king would appear now. After all, the Southern Region was far too distant from the other domains. The news of the Chaotic Sea Star Region’s opening had only just spread.
Saint kings of other places had probably only just set out, unable to possibly be near Kun City currently. This meant the unknown saint king most likely hailed from the other Southern Region races…which boded terribly for the human race. Not just no boon, but outright calamity!
“No! This is extremely wrong!” Within Kun City, contemplation showed on Huo Xi’s face. Why…why did this saint king’s aura seem faintly familiar? What was this sudden sense of familiarity?
Huo Xi felt as if she’d sensed this aura somewhere before…yet she couldn’t recall where.
“You’ve arrived?” Huo Xi, deep in thought, seemed to sense something and suddenly glanced up at the sky.
An enormous black hole abruptly manifested high overhead. Ten thousand divine rays instantly bloomed, illuminating the void.
A graceful figure slowly emerged from the black hole. The moment she appeared, all things lost color, flowers, and trees robbed of luster. She seemed to become the sole existence in the world.
This beauty was very tall, red robes fluttering, though unable to conceal her proud curves. She was an unparalleled beauty.
Her entire form was shrouded in mist, true appearance unclear. Yet just her aura alone sufficed to stir fear in all present. At this moment, a stormy sea raged in every heart..
