478: Break it and become holy

The Dragon Vein was refined, and even if Qian Emperor killed Xu Sanyan now, the Dragon Vein could not be restored, so no matter what, Qian Emperor had lost, and it was a complete loss.

But...

Qian Emperor's gaze turned fierce as he looked at Xu Sanyan; even if he lost, this demon would not win!

"Kill him!"

Qian Emperor also saw that Xu Sanyan's condition was not good; both of them were just barely holding on, but the difference was that Gan Country did not only have Qian Emperor, but also the Jade Dragon Guard, the Sect Affairs Department, and all the ministers.

However, Xu Sanyan was alone!

"Devil Head, die!"

Dozens of people flew into the palace from outside, all looking grimly at Xu Sanyan; some could not help but make the first move, and violent magical power poured down.

Xu Sanyan was not flustered; instead, the smile on his face grew even brighter, and with a wave of his hand, the crimson demon dragon circling in mid-air swooped down and directly entered Xu Sanyan's body.

"Awoo~ !"

With the last Dragon roar, the Dragon Vein that originally belonged to Gan Country completely disappeared, and a monstrous blood-red light rose from around Xu Sanyan, shooting directly into the sky.

Unlike the golden light pillar that shot out from the Star Observation Platform earlier, this blood-red light emanated from Xu Sanyan's body, and upon closer inspection, one could see Dragon-shaped talismans condensed within it.

These talismans were also different from the Heavenly Dao Imprint; each one was as red as blood, but faint golden fine lines were vaguely visible on their surface, emitting a subtle glow.

With Xu Sanyan as the center, the Spiritual Qi in the sky poured in like a funnel, and a Spiritual Qi storm swept through, engulfing all the attacks of the crowd, drawing them into his body.

"This..." Yuan Zongtong, Prime Minister's pupils suddenly widened, and a conjecture rose in his heart.

"Impossible!"

Qian Emperor's voice was sharp, no longer possessing its former majesty, but instead filled with much horror.

"He wants to... become a Saint?!"

Everyone finally reacted, understanding Xu Sanyan's true intention in painstakingly seizing the Dragon Vein: he actually wanted to become a Saint by using the Dragon Vein!!

"Stop him! Quickly stop him!" Qian Emperor roared, waving his sword frantically, looking like a madman.

Yuan Zongtong, Prime Minister's eyes flickered, and he ignored Qian Emperor; now that this Devil Head had gained immense power, it was too late to stop him, so he could only hope for his Breakthrough to fail.

And Lin Fan finally entered the palace, looking at the figure surrounded by the Spiritual Qi storm from afar, a sense of melancholy in his heart.

Ultimately, he could not stop anything; he was too weak. Although he had been working hard to catch up to Xu Sanyan's pace, the distance between them had not only not narrowed but had grown further and further, so far that he could not even see Xu Sanyan's back.

Fang Qingge pursed his lips, his thoughts drifting into memories. When the two first met, they were both merely in the Mystic Path Realm. Now, in just a few short years, he had barely touched the edge of the Soul Refinement Realm, while the other was already preparing to become a Saint.

The immense gap between them made him unable to even entertain the thought of catching up.

"As devils rise and the Dao declines, it is a calamity for the world..."

Fang Qingge vaguely felt that the threat Xu Sanyan posed to the world was even greater than that of Luan Yun Mountain and the Mist Sea.

Yang Qiyuan's eyelids trembled slightly, and she lowered her head, silent. Now she had completely abandoned the idea of reuniting with her husband; the difference between them was too great, so great that she felt fear and dared not face it directly.

Mo Qianqian was also despairing; she knew that once Xu Sanyan successfully made his Breakthrough, she would never have another chance for revenge.

The Sage Realm...

...

"The Sage Realm..."

Outside the imperial city, Mad Daoist looked into the distance, muttering softly.

He recalled that it was he who, on a whim, brought him into the Saint Sect. At that time, he was merely in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and now, only a few years later, he was about to become a Saint.

It was too fast, unnaturally fast.

Mad Daoist knew that Xu Sanyan must be hiding a secret, but now no one was qualified to explore his secret.

Moreover, he could not understand why Xu Sanyan did not absorb the Gang wind into his body, but instead used the Dragon Vein to Breakthrough to the Saint Realm. Was this method truly feasible?

No one had ever tried to Breakthrough using this method.

Mad Daoist recalled the question Xu Sanyan asked him back then, "What is Earth Qi Spiritual Essence?"

At that time, Mad Daoist told him that the Dragon Vein was Earth Qi Spiritual Essence, but he did not tell him everything. Not only the Dragon Vein, but many famous mountains and rivers also nurtured Earth Qi Spiritual Essence; although difficult to find, they definitely existed!

If Xu Sanyan Breakthrough to the Saint Realm using this method, then...

Mad Daoist's eyes flickered. Could others also do it?

He had already foreseen what would happen in the future... At that time, the world's pattern would undergo drastic changes, and the five Saints would no longer be able to lord over all living beings!

There were quite a few Cultivators in the world like Mad Daoist, who were trapped at the Perfection of Dao Integration and dared not become Saints; the Tongxin Demon Sect alone had three or four, and the Tianyi Fumo Temple and Gan Country would only have more.

Previously, no one knew that one could Breakthrough to Saint using Earth Qi Spiritual Essence; they only knew about absorbing the Gang wind into the body, a method that not only had great repercussions but also a very high probability of failure.

If Xu Sanyan became a Saint today, it would prove that this method was indeed feasible. At that time, people would certainly be unable to resist trying it, and if more people succeeded, it would further demonstrate that this method was not unique!

This method could not be kept secret; the commotion Xu Sanyan caused today was too great and would spread throughout the world at an extremely fast pace.

If the repercussions of becoming a Saint by this method were smaller, then the five Saints were destined to be abandoned by the era.

Oh, now there are only four Saints left.

The Saint from Tianyi Fumo Temple died recently, so they would certainly be more anxious and eager to try. Although Earth Qi Spiritual Essence is not scarce, it is not abundant either, and in the future, countless battles will surely arise over the struggle for this item.

The word "benefit" brings greater harm than the natural disasters of Luan Yun Mountain!

"Great chaos in the world is imminent!"

Mad Daoist's eyes were hollow, as if he had already seen Central Continent many years into the future.

From Mad Daoist's perspective, he actually hoped that Xu Sanyan would succeed, as this could be considered opening a new Dao for the world's Cultivators.

Some people hoped he would succeed, but more people did not.

Qian Emperor's teeth ground together, wishing he could swallow Xu Sanyan alive. He never imagined that after diligently working on state affairs and never indulging in pleasure, seeing his country grow stronger day by day, he would suffer such a calamity.

First, the natural disaster of Luan Yun Mountain, then the Mist Sea, and now even the Dragon Vein was gone. Whether Xu Sanyan succeeded or not, he was destined to fail.

"Oh, vast Heaven, why are you so unkind to me!"

Pfft~

Qian Emperor looked up at the sky, his spirit suddenly lost, and his face visibly aged significantly. Suddenly, his chest tightened, and a large mouthful of fresh blood gushed out as he fell forward, the saint ancestor sword plunging into the ground without obstruction, leaving only its hilt exposed.

Xu Sanyan paid no attention to the outside world; all his focus was currently immersed within himself.

The Heavenly Dao Imprint floated deep within his Sea of Consciousness, while the crimson demon dragon, following the towering blood-red light, coiled and soared into the sky, carrying Xu Sanyan's consciousness with it, drifting far away.

After an unknown period, Xu Sanyan opened his eyes, only to find himself above the clouds. He waved his hand to part the mist and looked down, seeing a figure standing within the Spiritual Qi storm.

That was himself.

With the world in his heart, observing all things with his eyes, breaking through to become a Saint!
