487: Lust is what drives him to where he is today.

Xu Sanyan peered into the thick Mist Sea, listening to the fluctuating roars from the sky, and asked with some confusion, "This Mist Sea has already covered half of Central Continent; when do you plan to stop?"

"Why should I stop?"

Yu Anwei smiled, looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with determination, "If there truly are beings beyond the heavens, I want to see if that unknown existence can still sit still once this world is completely destroyed!"

Xu Sanyan frowned, "You're causing such a huge commotion for this? What if a Heavenly Tribulation descends? Won't you have no way to survive?"

"Heh..."

Yu Anwei scoffed indifferently, "Do you know how I've lived for the past twenty thousand years? If not for waiting for the Saint Lord to return, I would have died long ago; why would I wait until today? But the Saint Lord's cultivation is heaven-defying, yet he hasn't returned for so long. I'm afraid..."

"In that case, there's no point in me living either."

Xu Sanyan felt it was a bit difficult; was this woman a resentful widow who had been widowed for many years?

From his own perspective, this woman's actions went against his interests; the destruction of the world offered him no benefit.

If he were the only one left in the world, how lonely and boring would that be?

There were still so many beautiful women in the world waiting for him to dote on, such as full-breasted and curvaceous beauties, shy and timid jade maidens, heroic and spirited Swordswomen, charming and alluring Demonic Path enchantresses, and petite and delicate pretty lolis...

Images of rosy small mouths, perky breasts, straight long legs, and dainty jade feet flashed before his eyes. Wasn't the ultimate goal of his diligent cultivation to enjoy an immortal life?

Moreover, he still had the "Beauty Catalog" left by his ancestors, which recorded many exotic women he had never tried. It would be too wasteful to die like this.

Besides, he also liked to show off and enjoy the admiring gazes of thousands of people when he appeared as a Saint. If he were the only one left, where would he go to show off?

No, this was too much of a loss. He had come so far with great difficulty, and good days were just around the corner. How could he just watch her ruin his good fortune?

This old hag had lived enough and played enough, so she wanted to flip the table and ruin it for everyone else. How selfish!

He would never agree!

The more Xu Sanyan thought about it, the angrier he got. How could such a person exist in the world?

Pah!

Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Yu Anwei looked him directly in the eyes, "Don't you want to break out of this cage and see what lies beyond the sky?"

Xu Sanyan was startled and asked in surprise, "You have a way?"

"No."

Then why are you talking nonsense?

Xu Sanyan didn't say this aloud, but his expression clearly showed it.

Xu Sanyan wasn't afraid of her. The sense of danger she brought him wasn't that strong; even if he couldn't defeat her, it would be extremely difficult for her to kill him.

Besides, in a life-and-death struggle, the outcome can only be determined when they truly fight.

Yu Anwei seemed not to notice the displeasure in his expression and continued on her own, "But the arrangements left by the Saint Lord back then are still there. If you are willing, I can lend you a hand. If you can see the Saint Lord after you go out, just help me deliver a message to him."

"Tell him... I miss you."

"Why don't you go yourself?" Xu Sanyan scrutinized her up and down, his expression full of suspicion.

Yu Anwei was silent for a moment, then said with a lost expression, "...I cannot leave the Mist Sea."

"Oh... then I'm not going either."

Xu Sanyan shook his head and refused. According to her, that Saint Lord's cultivation was heaven-defying, but once he left, he never returned. He was only in the Saint Realm; if he went out, would he even survive?

He was only in his twenties, a time to enjoy life. There were many beautiful things in the world he had not yet experienced. It would be a terrible loss if he died outside.

It wouldn't be too late to go out when he got tired of playing, lived enough, or became an Immortal.

Xu Sanyan lifted the chin of the dazed girl beside him, looking at her eyes, which were filled with confusion mixed with panic, making her appear very pitiable.

Perhaps... extreme lust was the motivation that brought him to where he was today?

Xu Sanyan turned to look at Yu Anwei and gently advised, "If you continue to act so willfully, pushing all the Cultivators in the world to a dead end, it will definitely cause a backlash. At that time, everyone will unite against you. You fighting the world alone will have no chance of winning."

Although there were constant frictions and discord among the Five Great Sects, once the external threat became too great, they would definitely unite against it. There were countless Cultivators in the world. Even if Yu Anwei had the help of Ghost Beasts, her chances of winning were still slim.

Currently, the Mist Sea's momentum seemed unstoppable only because the various Sects had not yet united and had not been pushed to a dead end. Once they realized that the Mist Sea was going to overturn the world, they would undoubtedly do everything in their power to stop it.

Yu Anwei, however, didn't care, "It doesn't matter. Life and death have long been insignificant to me."

Lunatic.

Xu Sanyan shook his head and ignored her, grabbing the dazed girl beside him and flying away. Yu Anwei did not stop him, only sighing,

"Tens of thousands of years, like a dream..."

"Alas..."

........

........

Ever since Xu Sanyan's Breakthrough, chaos had frequently erupted in various parts of Central Continent. Many He Dao Realm Perfection Cultivators fought fiercely over a single Earth Qi Spirit Essence, resulting in numerous casualties.

No one expected that after Xu Sanyan, the first person to Breakthrough to the Saint Realm in this manner would surprisingly appear in the Demonic Path again.

It was the former Palace Master of the Chixin Lineage, a He Dao Realm Perfection Cultivator, Mad Daoist.

After Xu Sanyan successfully Broke through in the capital of Gan Country, Mad Daoist immediately returned to the Demonic Path before the news had fully spread, because he knew where there was Earth Qi Spirit Essence,

The Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range!

Previously, Earth Qi Spirit Essence, although precious, received little attention because it was formless, intangible, and had very few uses, making it difficult to capture. Thus, no one bothered to try and capture it.

The Dragon Vein in Gan Country was trapped there because it was suppressed by the Imperial Seal, which ultimately benefited Xu Sanyan.

Mad Daoist, taking advantage of the information asymmetry, went through great lengths to successfully capture an Earth Qi Spirit Essence, achieving a Breakthrough to the Saint Realm in one fell swoop, causing an uproar throughout the world!

In the eyes of the world, Xu Sanyan's success might have involved an element of luck, but Mad Daoist's success undoubtedly further proved that this path was the Great Dao to Immortality!

As a result, all Cultivators trapped at He Dao Realm Perfection completely went mad, searching the entire world for Earth Qi Spirit Essence. All possible high mountains and famous rivers were filled with Cultivators, with the Monks of Tianyi Fumo Temple being the most zealous.

Because their Saint had died, someone had to quickly take his place. Moreover, Tianyi Fumo Temple had the most He Dao Realm Perfection Cultivators, numbering over ten!

If all of them Broke through, that would mean over ten Saints!

At that time, Tianyi Fumo Temple would undeniably become the greatest Sect in the current era.

In this atmosphere, few people paid attention to the Mist Sea, and quietly, most of Gan Country had already fallen...

And the Blood-Flesh Giant that Dang Yunshu had killed had, at some unknown point, risen again, wielding a mountain-like stone sword, frantically slaughtering the fallen cities. All the common people who couldn't escape were devoured by it, turning into provisions.
