289: Chapter 289 Imprinting Symbols on the Physical Body! The Female Tyrannosaurus Rex Achieves Sainthood, Pointing Her Gun at Gara!

"Heh, you've made quite a scene. Unfortunately, the path to becoming a Saint is no child's play."

Looking at the Tianxuan Creation Pools springing up like mushrooms across the sky, Jialuo was momentarily shocked, but she quickly regained her aloof and cold demeanor.

Recalling the near-death experiences she had endured over the past century to cross that threshold, she couldn't help but sneer:

"Entering the Tianxuan Creation Pool requires enduring the Body Tempering of a thousand Blades of Law. During this time, one cannot use any Magical Artifacts or Medicinal Pills; one can only rely on the purest Physical Body and Origin to withstand it. Those without great perseverance and Opportunity have no right to become a Saint!"

"Golden Immortals like you, who have been forcibly built up with Lower Realm resources, have shallow Foundations and will definitely fail the test of this Great Dao Tribulation!"

Even though Jialuo considered herself fearless of any pain in the world, whenever she recalled the experience of having her bones scraped inch by inch by the Blades of Law, she still felt a shudder of palpitations.

Therefore, in her view, although the group of nearly a hundred people entering the pools looked intimidating, those who could ultimately succeed in promoting to Saint within the Creation Pools would be as rare as Phoenix feathers!

"That's true..."

Lin Fan stood to the side, looking at the churning Creation Pools with a complex expression:

"But to satisfy the promotion conditions for so many Saints simultaneously—such a magnificent sight is something this old man has never seen in his long life."

Although Lin Fan didn't know how many of these hundred people would successfully break through, the sheer quantity of Golden Immortal Ninth Path Perfection Foundations alone would be enough to look down on all others, even in the Wanxiang Star Domain of the Major Thousand Worlds.

Listening to their evaluations, Su Feng stood with his hands behind his back, a slight curl appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Of course, he knew what kind of terrifying tribulation one had to endure to become a Saint, but when had he ever fought a battle he wasn't prepared for?

Since he dared to order everyone to break through together, he had naturally found a way.

At this moment, high in the sky.

Shen Youchu, the first to enter the Tianxuan Creation Pool, was facing the first wave of the Heavenly Dao's Blades of Law.

Invisible blades swept over her delicate body like a storm.

She gritted her teeth, her exquisite and proud little face tensed to the limit, and fine beads of cold sweat broke out on her fair forehead, clearly struggling to endure the pain of tempering.

"She's enduring thousands of Blades of Law, yet she hasn't even let out a groan?!"

Ying Liuzhan's expression changed slightly upon seeing this.

She clearly remembered how miserably she had screamed when she underwent the tempering of the Tianxuan Creation Pool.

Because it was simply too painful! It wasn't just the skinning and deboning of the Physical Body, but also the ultimate lashing directly on the depths of the Divine Soul.

Yet this little Human Race girl with twin tails could actually hold out until now without making a sound?!

"Hmph, she's just at the end of her rope. She's probably about to break."

Ying Liuzhan crossed her arms and asserted sourly, "The first wave is just an appetizer. In the next stage, the number of Blades of Law will increase to ten thousand. I'd like to see how she blocks that!"

However.

The moment the words left Ying Liuzhan's mouth.

"Buzz—!!!"

A wave of profound immortal power suddenly erupted from Shen Youchu's delicate body!

Mysterious patterns emitting a dark golden glow faintly appeared on her fair skin!

These patterns were connected end-to-end, like an indestructible suit of skin-tight armor, firmly protecting her entire being.

With the support of these mysterious patterns, Shen Youchu, who was originally about to be bent over by the Blades of Law, miraculously straightened her body again and even took a deep breath with ease!

"This... this is?!"

Lin Fan's eyes widened as he stared intently at the mysterious patterns flowing over Shen Youchu's body.

"Runes?! How is this possible!!"

With his sharp eyes as a Saint, he saw through it at a glance.

That complex array, enough to make even a Saint marvel, was actually Immortal-grade Runes compressed to the extreme and branded directly into the flesh using an unknown method!

"How can runes be carved onto a person's body?!"

Ying Liuzhan also had a look as if she had seen a ghost.

In the Star Domain, they knew the effects of runes all too well.

Those things could only be inscribed on hard Magical Artifacts, War Immortal Ships, or Formation Foundation Stones.

If forcibly inscribed on a Cultivator's fragile Physical Body, the explosive power of the Laws would instantly cause the person to explode and die!

But these people in front of her had not only carved runes onto their bodies but had done so perfectly, even using them to withstand the baptism of the Heavenly Dao!

"Perhaps... there is one race that can do it."

Jialuo stared at the dark golden runes on Shen Youchu's body, then shifted her gaze to Ji Ruxue in another Creation Pool.

"Who?" Ying Liuzhan asked urgently and instinctively.

This kind of Heaven-Defying method that could indirectly increase the success rate of becoming a Saint would be an irresistible temptation for any power in the Star Domain!

"The Ancient Rune Clan..."

When Jialuo spoke those four words, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

She watched those in the Creation Pools, whose talent was once far inferior to hers, now steadily promoting to Saint in the midst of the tribulation, all thanks to this Heaven-Defying 'Body Inscription' cheat!

Then what did the suffering she endured in the Realm Battlefield over the past hundred years count for?

What did her hundred years of life-and-death struggles count for??

"Very well! The Ancient Rune Clan, is it?"

A greedy light erupted in Ying Liuzhan's eyes; she hadn't even noticed that her previous aloof and arrogant posture had completely vanished:

"If we can get our hands on this technology and mass-produce these inscriptions for our clansmen, the overall strength of my Shadow Clan will definitely skyrocket!"

While Ying Liuzhan was still dreaming of plundering the technology.

" Rumble——!!!"

At the peak of the firmament, the final Blade of Law was endured by Shen Youchu!

As the golden light of creation showered down from the sky, the dark golden runes on Shen Youchu's body slowly faded beneath her snow-white skin.

And the unique Great Dao of the Nine-Character Mantra within her body also completely sublimated at this moment, evolving into her own Mantra Rules!

"Swish!"

A magnificent Valkyrie, treading on the flames of war and holding a long spear, stepped proudly out of the golden light of creation!

Raging fires of Battle Intent danced in Shen Youchu's eyes.

Due to the Silent Zen taboo of the Nine-Character Mantra, she still did not say a single word.

But the deterrent force she erupted upon her promotion to Saint was like a tangible storm, violently sweeping across the field.

"Clang—!"

The long spear vibrated, letting out a clear Dragon's cry.

Shen Youchu didn't look at Lin Fan, nor did she look at Ying Liuzhan.

She simply flicked her wrist dominantly.

The tip of the spear, burning with Ultimate Dao Flames and carrying a terrifying sharpness that tore through the Void Realm, pointed from afar at Jialuo in mid-air.

No words were needed.

In those beautiful eyes burning with flames, only four arrogant words were written:

Come take a beating!
