The sacred treasure of the Sword Seeker Sect, the Nine Spirit Sword.
An object flew out from venerable lord Gu Jing’s body. It was a little golden whale that had been engraved with ancient writing. The whale seemed to be capable of swallowing all things of heaven and earth.
The sacred treasure of the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall, the Heavenly Whale Charm.
The three sect masters had summoned the Saint treasures of their sects, inciting the world around them to shake violently.
The experts of the other sects watched with burning desire in their eyes. The reason why the six great sects could remain standing for thousands of years in Cangxuan Heaven was due to their deep foundations. The Saint treasures were a part of this foundation.
Boom!
The three Saint treasures flew out and collided with the three beams of black and white light, causing the sky to crumble as the earth trembled.
Palace master Sheng Yuan merely swept a glance at the trio, clearly not overly concerned by their interjection. Even though they also wielded Saint treasures, they were still a considerable distance from him in terms of power level.
After all, he was a false Saint expert.
The trickiest opponent at this juncture was the mysterious girl named Yaoyao.
Palace master Sheng Yuan could sense an extremely strong and dangerous aura from her body. Moreover, for some unknown reason, he felt that Yaoyao was likely even more dangerous than patriarch Cang Xuan from the past.
“Where did she come from?!”
Palace master Sheng Yuan still found it unbelievable. For an existence like her, let alone in Cangxuan Heaven, she could not possibly be unknown even in the entire Tianyuan World. She should not be unheard of.
“Never mind. No matter where you’re from, whoever stops me from obtaining the Cangxuan Saint Stamp today will be killed today!”
Palace Master Sheng Yuan’s eyes were filled with chilling intent. Once he captured the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, he would be able to truly step foot into the Saint stage. When that happened, he would become the heaven master, a top tier existence even in the entire Tianyuan world!
Therefore, this woman must be killed today!
Killing intent rapidly rose in his heart. He no longer wavered and folded his hands together into a hand seal.
Om!
The giant Life Executioner Painting in the sky emitted a thunderous cry. Countless people watched in astonishment as black and white gradually merged together and transformed into a titanic black and white dragon.
The dragon exuded an indescribable pressure. One eye was white while the other was black.
Roar!
The black and white dragon released a deafening roar. It’s eyes locked on Yaoyao who was trapped in the sea of black and white light. In the next moment, black and white dragon breath akin to the fusion of yin and yang completely enveloped Yaoyao. The destructive power of the breath seemed capable of melting the entire world.
“Cang Xuan was also wounded by my yin and yang dragon breath back then.
“Therefore, you will also perish!”
Palace master Sheng Yuan’s expression grew increasingly sinister as he stared at the beautiful figure.
Chapter 734 The Heart of Saint
Roar!
The boundless black and white dragon breath descended at an incredible speed. If caught in it, even experts of the Law Domain would be wiped out in an instant and turned to nothingness unless they had the protection of a Saint treasure.
Under the giant black and white dragon breath, Yaoyao’s slender and petite body appeared extremely thin and frail, as if the ethereally beautiful maiden would vanish a split second later.
Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads.
Under countless watching gazes, Yaoyao lifted her head, revealing her fair and graceful neck as she watched the mighty torrent of black and white dragon head towards her.
She held out her hand as a mysterious golden liquid gushed out from her palm. The liquid condensed into the shape of a golden mottled brush, engraved with the most ancient markings of the world, as though it had existed as long as heaven and earth.
She clasped the golden mottled brush and shook her wrist as the nib of the brush descended.
A ray of golden light appeared out of thin air.
The ray bended and twisted, giving off a mystical rhythm that seemed to connect heaven and earth.
Rays of golden light continued to appear one after another.
Threads of gold linked together in front of Yaoyao, ultimately fusing into an extremely ancient rune. The rune had never been seen before but when everyone laid eyes on it, a word emerged in their hearts.
“Suppress!”
Countless experts studied the ancient rune from afar. The eyes of some of the more Genesis Rune proficient members of the crowd lit upm, because they knew how mystical this ancient Genesis Rune was.
Only those who had a very strong connection with the world could draw such a Genesis Rune.
Moreover, they had a peculiar feeling that this ancient Genesis Rune seemed to be somewhat different from other Genesis Runes.
Old man Bai Mei’s brows quivered as he stared intently at the ancient Genesis Rune. “This is no mere Genesis Rune. There are some traces of a Genesis technique within it.
“She has perfectly combined Genesis Rune and Genesis technique!
“Every stroke isn’t simply drawing a Genesis Rune but also was creating a Genesis technique. When the two come together, their power becomes unfathomable.”
His face lit up as though he could now die without regrets. He had never heard of such mastery. Even a disciple of patriarch Cang Xuan like himself believed that his master Cangxuan couldn’t compare to Yaoyao in terms of Genesis Rune mastery.
Rumble!
Under the countless astonished gazes, Yaoyao thrust her brush forward. The giant golden Genesis Rune was sent shooting into the sky in the form of a beam of golden light and directly collided with the mighty black and white dragon breath.
Boom!
A thunderous sound reverberated throughout the world.
As the golden light passed, the mighty black and white dragon breath froze for a moment before disintegrating.
Countless gasps of astonishment rang out.
No one had expected palace master Sheng Yuan’s Life Executioner Painting to fail.
Palace master Sheng Yuan was likewise trembling in shock and disbelief as the fear in his eyes grew. But at the same time, his killing intent also intensified.
He wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully if this woman wasn’t killed today.
Om!
However, while killing intent erupted in palace master Sheng Yuan’s heart, the Life Executioner Painting began to shudder. Sheng Yuan anxiously looked over to see Yaoyao waving the Genesis Rune brush as mysterious golden light continuously appeared.
The golden light pierced in numerous directions like golden pillars.
And as the golden pillars grew in numbers, the Life Executioner Painting began trembling more and more violently, while the black and white yin and yang qi gradually weakened.
Palace master Sheng Yuan’s face darkened as horror filled his eyes. He had realized that Yaoyao was destroying the Life Executioner Painting.
Every ray of golden light was directed towards the core of the Life Executioner Painting, slowly splintering the painting apart as they slowly vibrated.
It should be said that every Saint treasure was a near perfect entity and possessed unimaginable power. Palace master Sheng Yuan could understand if someone tried to overwhelm a Saint treasure with raw power, which was what patriarch Cang Xuan had done back then.
But he had never seen something like what Yaoyao was doing.
This mysterious girl named Yaoyao---where did she come from?!
This scene likewise shocked sect master Qing Yang, the Heavenly Sword Sovereign and other experts. They could naturally discern Yaoyao’s intention.
&nb
sp; “Such a method is simply divine.” They exchanged glances with one another as bitter smiles crossed their faces.
But once they composed themselves, they were overjoyed by this development. If Yaoyao managed to crack the Life Executioner Painting, it would inevitably suffer fundamental damage and would require a lot of effort to repair it.
In turn, this would undoubtedly weaken palace master Sheng Yuan.
Palace master Sheng Yuan similarly was aware of this fact. As a result, his eyes were filled with immense hatred as though he wanted to swallow Yaoyao. Faced with this situation, even someone like him almost lost control.
But in the end he drew a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his emotions. He absolutely couldn’t let Yaoyao escape. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to imprison her.
If that were to happen and sect master Qing Yang and the others joined the battle, his advantage would truly be completely gone.
Palace master Sheng Yuan looked at the fiercely vibrating Life Executioner Painting in silence for a few moments before a resolute look gradually emerged in his eyes.
He slowly stretched out his arms as the space around his palms began to distort. A faint golden glow emerged as even the sound of the wind seemed to fall silent.
Badum! Badum!
A peculiar beat began thudding throughout heaven and the earth.
Countless eyes shifted towards palace master Sheng Yuan’s palms, only to see that a golden heart had appeared. The heart faintly beated, triggering a storm of Genesis Qi.
“What is that? A golden heart?!” exclaimed the onlookers.
Studying the golden heart from afar, sect master Qing Yang felt a familiar aura. A moment later, his eyes reddened as a furious voice rang out, “Sheng Yuan, you thief!”
Palace master Sheng Yuan shot an indifferent glance at the former as the corners of his mouth curved in a mocking smile, “It seems that you’ve recognized it. Yes, it is indeed Cang Xuan’s Saint heart!”
Countless experts stood dumbstruck.
Palace master Sheng Yuan stared at the golden heart in his palms. Countless runes swam on its golden surface, also reaching deep within it to isolate all life force.
When patriarch Cang Xuan was killed by the sacred race many years ago, they took and refined his Saint heart as a reward for palace master Sheng Yuan.
It was a unique treasure and also the reason why palace master Sheng Yuan could step into the false Saint stage.
Moreover, once he ingested and refined the heart of Saint, he would truly step into the Saint stage!
Of course, this breakthrough would only be temporary. Palace master Sheng Yuan would not resort to this unless absolutely necessary.
“As long as I can get my hands on the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, I will be able to truly step into the Saint stage. The heart of Saint will be of little use to me then.” Sheng Yuan took a deep breath. He wasn’t an ordinary person and naturally knew what choice to make.
If he failed to get his hands on the Cangxuan Saint Stamp today, his many years of plotting would be wasted and he most likely would not come across such a great opportunity again.
Therefore, he cast away all hesitation. He gritted teeth, clapped his palms together, and shattered the golden heart to pieces
Golden light rose and was swallowed into Sheng Yuan’s body amidst countless shocked gazes.
Chapter 735 The Fourth Saint Rune
The golden heart transformed into a stream of light and was swallowed into palace master Sheng Yuan’s body. His eyes closed as the world around him went still.
All the wind and flowing Genesis Qi seemed to stop at this moment.
It was as though time and space had frozen.
Countless shocked gazes shifted towards palace master Sheng Yuan. At this moment, they felt an indescribable imposing aura gradually emerge from his body.
The entire world seemed to tremble under his aura.
A golden wisp rapidly began to grow above palace master Sheng Yuan’s head, ultimately turning into a burning golden flame. The flame slowly flowed, seemingly taking the shape of a golden lotus.
“Saint Flame Lotus.”
The top experts on all sides were astonished by this sight as their teeth began to chatter. It was known that only true Saint experts could turn their Saint flame into the form of a perfect lotus.
The golden flame lotus finally took shape, blooming beautifully.
Endless golden light seemed to flow out from the golden lotus and wrapped around palace master Sheng Yuan’s body. It then melded into his body and began to strengthen him, slowly perfecting every fibre within.
After devouring the Saint heart, palace master Sheng Yuan had properly ascended into the Saint stage!
His eyes sprang open, reflecting the burning flame of the golden lotus. His aura felt majestic and vast, as though he was immortal and indestructible.
Sect master Qing Yang and the others couldn’t help but turn pale upon seeing this scene.
Because they could also feel a terrifyingly dangerous sensation from palace master Sheng Yuan’s body.
With an indifferent expression, palace master Sheng Yuan’s lips moved as his voice echoed throughout heaven and earth.
“Genesis restriction.
When his voice spread, everyone was aghast to feel the Genesis Qi in the area silently vanish without a trace. Even the Genesis Qi within their bodies was mysteriously dissipating at an alarming rate.
Dong! Dong!
Multiple figures plummeted from the sky like birds with broken wings.
All Genesis Qi had been forbidden in this part of the world.
Here, even experts of the Law Domain would find it hard to survive.
This was the power of the Saint stage. Once the word was said, it would be strictly enforced. A single command was all that was required to make the entire place devoid of Genesis Qi.
The top experts fell one after another, leaving only sect master Qing Yang, the Heavenly Sword Sovereign, and venerable lord Gu Jing standing in the air. This was because each of them possessed a Saint treasure that could block the power of a Saint expert.
Palace master Sheng Yuan merely swept a nonchalant glance at them, clearly not very concerned about them, before his line of sight turned back onto the Life Executioner Painter in the sky. The corners of his mouth curved in an ice-cold smile as his gaze locked onto the beautiful figure inside.
“Let's see what you’ll be able to do this time.”
Palace master Sheng Yuan lifted his hand and the fiercely shaking Life Executioner Painting gradually calmed down. Boundless black and white qi emerged from within the painting, some of it even overflowing to the outside world.
Black and white qi converged into a huge vortex within the Life Executioner Painting, directly swallowing the pillars of golden light that had been drawn into existence by Yaoyao.
Golden light began to fade as black and white qi continued to pour in from all directions.
Boom!
A black and white lightning bolt shot out from the churning black and white qi and sped towards Yaoyao’s direction like a raging dragon.
That power of the black and white lightning was extremely terrifying and was stained with flames, the flames of a Saint!
In his temporary entry into the Saint stage, palace master Sheng Yuan’s strength had now reached a very frightening level.
Yaoyao’s wrist rapidly moved, manipulating the countless Genesis Runes around her to form a golden light barrier. However, the light barrier trembled and shrank whenever the black and white lightning struck.
No matter how Yaoyao swung the Genesis Rune brush, the black and white lightning drew closer and closer.
Anyone could tell that the situation had begun to change after palace master Sheng Yuan devoured the Saint heart.
Sect master Qing Yang’s heart sank. If Yaoyao were subdued, there would be no one left to stop palace master Sheng Yuan.
“You don’t know what's good for you. After I subdue
you, the entire Cangxuan Sect will accompany you, including that boy.” Palace master Sheng Yuan's voice was filled with indifference as he watched the black and white lightning bolts raging in the Life Executioner Painting.
He was evidently a little annoyed that he had been pushed so far by Yaoyao.
Inside the Life Executioner Painting.
Yaoyao stopped swinging the Genesis Rune Brush and slowly lifted her head. Her eyes penetrated the Life Executioner Painting to look the palace master in the eye as a heart-palpitating cold killing intent stirred in their depths.
She seemed to be asking Sheng Yuan with her eyes; did he really want to die?
Palace master Sheng Yuan naturally understood the meaning behind her gaze, but he merely smiled and shook his head in response. “Impudence.”
He obviously viewed this as a powerless threat. After all, he had already stepped into the Saint stage. How was Yaoyao possibly going to fight against him now?
Yaoyao’s ethereally beautiful eyes suddenly turned towards the mysterious space where Zhou Yuan was. She gazed at him for a good while, before she slowly closed her eyes as if she had decided something.
The already crumbling seal between her brows began to crack even more.
The cracks around the seal started to widen.
Rumble!
Numerous dark golden specks of light rose from her body and melded into the golden light barrier. No matter how the black and white lightning bombarded the barrier, it no longer showed any signs of weakening.
Moreover, the golden barrier gradually began to expand as if pushing back the black and white lightning.
Even palace master Sheng Yuan was stunned by this sight and almost cursed out loud.
What the hell!?
He had already devoured the Saint heart and obtained the power of Saint, but the previously suppressed Yaoyao was now able to push back in the blink of an eye?!
Where did her power come from?!
Is there any rationality or fairness in this world?
A stormy look covered palace master Sheng Yuan’s face. In the next moment, he twisted around and darted towards the mysterious domain. He had decided to snatch the Cangxuan Saint Stamp while Yaoyao was still imprisoned!
