373: Wang Zhan Cheng Sheng

In the rear, as several core areas of Dao marks were forcibly occupied by top prodigies and Saint Realm figures with their strength, the intense clamor of competition gradually subsided.

Cultivators with insufficient cultivation had to accept reality and find a spot in the relatively peripheral areas, sitting cross-legged one after another, seizing the time to comprehend this precious Great Emperor Dao technique.

Before the vast stone wall, everyone immersed their minds into the ancient stone wall ahead.

Great Zhou Prince Ji Xuanye was surrounded by Imperial Dragon Qi, faintly resonating with a palm print on the stone wall that contained the Concept of the world and the state, his brow furrowed in thought.

Heavenly Secret Pavilion successor Xing Lan held a compass, his gaze scanning the marks as if deducing the Karma and heavenly secrets behind them.

Young Supremes from various factions, such as the Jiang Family Divine King Body and the former Saintess of the Jade Lake, were also immersed in their own insights.

Xiao Ruobai's War God blood and Qi were restrained as he felt the tragic Battle Intent permeating the stone wall—a will that fought bloodily and unyieldingly to open a path of survival for one's race. This shared commonalities with his own War God Dao, which was born for battle and moved forward without looking back, yet it also possessed a unique style.

"Fighting for protection, fighting for the race—this Battle Intent is even heavier and worth learning from."

He chanted in his heart, absorbing the nourishment within to integrate it into his own War God Great Dao.

Ling Xi stood quietly in a corner, her gaze as deep as the eternal starry sky.

The majestic Battle Intent on the stone wall became increasingly clear to her, a Great Emperor who had once reached the absolute peak.

"Great Emperor Qing Cang fought bloodily until his last moment to protect his clansmen. Respectable."

A trace of respect, which only those at the same height could understand, flashed through her eyes.

Although this Battle Intent did not share the same Origin as the Devouring Great Dao she practiced, the will and determination it contained still touched her.

At this moment, Wang Zhan completely immersed his mind into the ocean of Dao marks on the stone wall.

He felt Great Emperor Qing Cang's resilience that rose from weakness and remained unyielding, and the tragic heroism of supporting his race throughout his life and seeking life through death!

The Heavenly Azure Sacred Blood boiled because of it, roaring like thunder!

This tragic epic of fearlessness, unyielding spirit, and fighting to the end for one's beliefs was like a torrent, washing over Wang Zhan's mind.

The sense of frustration from his successive defeats to Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu suddenly became small and insignificant before this vast will.

The crack that had once pierced his Dao Heart like a thorn did not expand; instead, it was moistened and mended by an unprecedented insight.

"I lost not because my strength was insufficient, but because my Dao was unclear."

"My Heavenly Azure Sacred Body, my path, has always followed the Legacy of the Family and the Sacred Body. It seemed like a triumphant progress, but in reality, it was self-limitation."

"Great Emperor Qing Cang's Dao lies in protection and in pioneering. Then, where is my Dao?"

The tragic Battle Intent on the stone wall that split open the heavens for his race resonated most deeply with the boiling Heavenly Azure Sacred Blood within him.

It was no longer imitation, but confirmation and inspiration.

A realization, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the darkness, illuminated his Divine Soul.

"The Heavenly Azure is above, not for dominance, but for inclusion, for carrying, and for transformation!"

"Even stars have extinction and rebirth; even the sky has the changing of eras. The true Heavenly Azure Sacred Body should contain infinite changes, encompass all things, and move forward eternally through destruction and establishment!"

"My Dao shall be rooted in my Heavenly Azure Sacred Body, absorbing the essence of ten thousand Daos, to walk a path of continuous self-transcendence and all-encompassing progress!"

As soon as this thought arose, his Dao Heart instantly became transparent and harmonious!

"Boom—!"

It was as if an invisible barrier within his body shattered at the sound!

It was not a collision of power, but the sublimation of his state of mind that triggered a leap in his life!

The Heavenly Azure Sacred Power he had cultivated for many years, which was originally like a river, now seemed to merge into the rhythm of the ocean, becoming more vast and profound.

A Dao Resonance originating from his life's Origin, as if the world were being created, burst forth from the deepest part of Wang Zhan's body!

This Dao Resonance carried an unspeakable majesty, clearly reaching the depths of the Divine Soul of every person present who was focused on their insights, causing many to shudder and open their eyes in shock.

In the next moment, an even more astonishing phenomenon appeared!

With Wang Zhan as the center, the vast space before the entire stone wall seemed to tremble slightly.

Infinite Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, as if hearing a king's summons, surged frantically from the Void Realm in all directions, forming visible tides of Spiritual Qi that whistled as they converged toward him!

The Spiritual Qi tide was so fierce that it even formed dozens of Spiritual Qi vortices of various sizes in the air, letting out a low rumbling sound.

Within him, the Heavenly Azure Sacred Power he had cultivated for years, which was originally like a surging river, underwent an essential transformation under the infusion of this Dao Resonance and the massive amount of Spiritual Qi!

The river merged into the sea of stars!

The azure-colored blood and Qi were no longer confined to his body's surface; instead, they burst forth, transforming into a massive and incredibly solid pillar of azure blood and Qi that soared into the sky!

The pressure emitted by this pillar of blood and Qi was heavy and ancient, carrying a vibrant vitality that absorbed all things and continuously evolved, forming a wonderful resonance and echo with the pure Battle Intent of Great Emperor Qing Cang on the stone wall.

"Crack, crackle..."

Crisp shattering sounds rang out one after another. That was the incredibly firm Heavenly Shackle between the King Realm and the Saint Realm, which, under the impact of this majestic and qualitatively transformed new power, rapidly melted and disintegrated like snow under the hot sun!

Wang Zhan's aura began to skyrocket at a jaw-dropping speed!

The barrier of the Peak King Realm collapsed at the first touch!

"Dao Resonance arises on its own, and blood and Qi pierce the heavens. Is this... becoming a Saint on the spot?!"

When that azure pillar soared into the sky and the vast Saintly Might swept out, the entire area before the stone wall fell into a dead silence, followed by an uncontrollable outburst of clamor!

All the young prodigies who were focused on their insights, no matter how prominent their backgrounds, now opened their eyes in shock, their gazes collectively focusing on the figure in the center of the light pillar, their faces filled with unbelievable shock.

Even the Holy Lord-level figures who were fighting over the Emperor Scripture couldn't help but look back at Wang Zhan.

"A Saint! It's Wang Zhan! He actually took that step first!"

Someone cried out in shock, their voice trembling with extreme astonishment.

"How could it be so fast?! We haven't even touched the threshold of the Peak King Realm..."

In the hearts of even more people, stormy waves surged, along with a trace of unspeakable bitterness and helplessness.

Saint Realm!

Three simple words, yet they were like an insurmountable chasm that blocked how many prodigies?

How many prodigies and heroes were trapped at the Peak King Realm for their entire lives?

This was a true leap in the level of life, a qualitative change in the comprehension of the Great Dao, and the starting point of truly stepping onto the path of the strong!

Only by becoming a Saint would one be qualified to compete for that ethereal emperors path in this golden age!

And now, Wang Zhan, the successor of the Archaic Royal Family, after experiencing successive setbacks, actually broke through here first, triggering the resonance of heaven and earth to achieve the status of a Saint!
