480: saint

The Mad Daoist's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly stopped.

Lin Fan clenched his five fingers into a fist and abruptly looked up.

Yang Qiyuan seemed to sense something and looked into the distance.

The situation had changed!

The longsword was less than an inch from Xu Sanyan's glabella, trembling violently; no matter how hard it tried, it could not advance any further, and the frantic sword cries came from this very spot.

A pair of jet-black eyes were filled with profundity, with no color in their pupils, as if they could swallow all things.

“Crack~ Boom~”

Cracks appeared on the sword's surface, and the faint cracking sound was incredibly clear at this moment, until at a certain point, the blade could no longer withstand the terrifying pressure and instantly shattered and scattered, an invisible wave sweeping across the earth, raising a sky full of dust.

The crimson light pillar that encompassed his body vanished in an instant, and the sky returned to its original color; if not for the ruins of the Imperial Palace confirming everything that had just happened, it would have been like experiencing a dream.

“Could it be that he…”

Fang Qingge's eyes were filled with disbelief.

“He became a Saint.”

Huan Xier confirmed the conjecture in his heart.

“He became a Saint…”

Mo Qianqian's lips revealed a hint of bitterness; sometimes the gap between people was even greater than the gap between people and pigs; while they were still troubled by breaking through Soul Refining, he had already become a Saint.

Intense color suddenly burst forth in the Mad Daoist's eyes; he succeeded?

He actually really succeeded!!

Immediately, he carefully examined Xu Sanyan's body, and the joy in his eyes grew even stronger; he had no blood sores on him!

This proved that breaking through to the Saint realm with this method would not incur a backlash!

Previously, the five Saints of Central State could not act freely and rarely showed themselves, precisely because they were restrained by these blood sores; whether it was becoming a Saint through Righteous Path Cultivation Technique or Demonic Path Cultivation Technique, these blood sores were like maggots to the bone that could not be shaken off.

But now, Xu Sanyan had actually re-opened a through-Heavenly Dao by using Earth Qi Spiritual Essence to replace the Gang Wind!

The Mad Daoist's body trembled slightly from excitement, and his five fingers tightly clutched the wine pot, unable to hide his exhilaration.

“Earth Qi Spiritual Essence… Earth Qi Spiritual Essence…”

The Mad Daoist's mind was filled with only this one thought.

In contrast, everyone in the Imperial Palace was dumbfounded, staring at Xu Sanyan like wooden figures in a daze, not knowing how to proceed.

Xu Sanyan did not pay attention to them for the time being; he first shed his Dao Body and returned to human form, revealing a rather obvious depression in his chest; although he had broken through to the Saint realm, the injuries he had sustained earlier had not healed, but it was no longer a big deal.

“Hiss~”

Xu Sanyan took a deep breath, a smile slowly appearing at the corner of his mouth, then the smile widened, no longer able to be suppressed, and he burst into wild laughter,

“Hahahahaha…”

A myriad of tribulations, like parting the clouds to see the morning sun.

Once in power, from now on, my fate is mine, not Heaven's!

All the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were released, and Xu Sanyan, like a madman, laughed up to the sky, his laughter like rolling thunder spreading throughout the capital.

From now on, the world's pattern would change, and the five Saints would no longer be the end of cultivation, because of him!

Xu Sanyan did not yet know that only four of the five Saints remained, and even if he did, he would not care.

Lin Fan said nothing, turned silently and left; at this point, he was of no use here, and besides, he had never played a role, only serving as a witness, witnessing the world gaining another Saint.

“No blood sores…”

An elder from the Sect Affairs Department was staring intently at Xu Sanyan, trying to find a sore on his body, even a small one; he was unwilling to believe that there truly was a way to perfectly break through to the Saint realm.
