187: Chapter 187 Breakthrough to the Saint Realm: A Mysterious Powerful Being from the Galaxy!

"You!" Qin Tian glared at Zhou Yuxuan in anger.

He hadn't expected the other party to be so ungrateful. If it weren't for the unknown, potent poison corroding his body...

...preventing him from fully displaying his complete strength, why would he ever fear this Young Master of the Zhou Family?

Seeing the Killing Intent in Zhou Yuxuan's eyes, Qin Tian knew he couldn't afford to delay any longer.

Immediately, he turned and prepared to leave.

"Heh! Thinking of leaving?!" Zhou Yuxuan smiled coldly. He was now at the seventh level of the God King Realm; by utilizing the Xing-zi Secret Technique, his speed had increased more than tenfold.

With a single step forward of his right foot, countless profound runes instantly manifested beneath his sole.

In the next moment, Zhou Yuxuan's figure blurred and reappeared directly in front of Qin Tian.

"What? So fast!" Qin Tian was shocked by Zhou Yuxuan's terrifying speed.

However, he was after all a powerhouse who had dominated an entire era. Seeing someone blocking his path—and someone he couldn't defeat at that—he turned repeatedly, trying to flee in another direction.

"Heh! You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!" Seeing Qin Tian flee again, Zhou Yuxuan performed his secret technique once more, instantly appearing before Qin Tian.

"Damn it! Boy, do you want to take me down with you in a one-for-one exchange?"

Qin Tian, his path blocked once more, couldn't help but shout in anger.

"Your face is truly ugly. Just a moment ago you were calling this King 'Your Excellency' and 'Fellow Daoist,' yet your tune changes so quickly that now you're calling this King 'boy' again!"

Zhou Yuxuan spoke with pure mockery.

As he ridiculed Qin Tian once more,

Qin Tian, whose expression was already unsightly, suddenly looked pained and spat out a mouthful of blood with a 'wah'.

[Ding! The host has successfully altered the plot, causing the Luck Protagonist Qin Tian's Dao Heart to be damaged. Reward: Cultivation Realm increased by one level!]

As Zhou Yuxuan felt the aura within his body surge,

He couldn't help but remark with a sigh: "Ah! How wonderful. I've taken another step toward becoming a Saint."

"Boy! Since you refuse to let me go, then today we shall perish together!"

Seeing that Zhou Yuxuan had no intention of letting him leave, Qin Tian steeled his heart.

Qin Tian, who had been high-spirited with a head of black hair, now saw his hair turn white as a terrifying aura brewed within him.

It seemed as though he might explode at any moment.

"Is he going to self-detonate?" Zhou Yuxuan frowned, observing Qin Tian with a solemn expression.

At the same time, he retreated backward, fearing he might be injured by the shockwaves of Qin Tian's explosion.

"Hahaha! Boy, you were tricked by this seat!" A sudden burst of laughter rang out.

Qin Tian, whose body had been covered in cobweb-like cracks, now laughed and roared.

The hideous cracks on his body were rapidly healing, and the terrifying energy condensed within him began to dissipate,

opening a spatial tunnel behind him.

"Tricked?" Zhou Yuxuan said in disbelief.

In all his years in this world, he had never been deceived, but now he had been fooled?

Immediately, without a word, Zhou Yuxuan pressed two fingers together to form a sword gesture and pointed at Qin Tian.

"Kill!!!"

In an instant, iron swords formed from condensed Qi filled the sky and swept toward Qin Tian to slay him.

However, just as these Flying Swords were about to touch Qin Tian,

Qin Tian had already entered the spatial tunnel.

Even though the Flying Swords he controlled rushed over, they could not kill Qin Tian; they only destroyed the spatial tunnel!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully altering the plot. The Luck Protagonist Qin Tian has been heavily injured, leading to damage to his foundation. Reward: Cultivation Realm increased by one level!]

As another prompt sounded, Zhou Yuxuan felt his internal cultivation reach a Peak, after which it became difficult to advance further.

"Is this the Saint Barrier?" Zhou Yuxuan said faintly.

In cultivation, every Realm has a barrier, and whether one encounters a barrier depends on one's own Aptitude.

The worse the Aptitude, the higher the probability of encountering a barrier.

Conversely, the better the Aptitude, the more smooth and unobstructed the path of cultivation becomes.

However, the Saint Barrier was a difficulty that would be encountered regardless of Aptitude.

"Sigh! Could it be that I cannot break through to the Saint Realm today?"

Zhou Yuxuan murmured,

Suddenly, he thought of something and turned his gaze toward the surface of the Eastern Sea.

"Right, there's still that fellow Yang Tian!"

Thinking of Yang Tian, Zhou Yuxuan instantly became excited.

Next, he extended his Divine Sense into the seabed. After a short while, he found the figure of the unconscious Yang Tian.

Then, using his Divine Sense to hook the body, he pulled him out from the seabed in the next second.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Having just been pulled from the sea, Yang Tian miraculously woke up instantly.

"Wha—What's going on? Where is Brother Tian?" Yang Tian had still not forgotten Qin Tian.

However, Qin Tian was currently struggling to save himself and had already departed.

"Heh, Yang Tian, we meet again. Unfortunately, you won't escape this time!" Zhou Yuxuan's voice rang in Yang Tian's ear, causing him to suddenly realize something and look toward Zhou Yuxuan.

Sure enough, the man with the handsome face but a demonic smile was indeed Zhou Yuxuan.

Yang Tian still wanted to resist, but in the next second, a sharp sword pierced through his neck.

"You!!!" Instantly, blood splattered everywhere, and Yang Tian's head, eyes wide with shock, flew upward.

[Ding, the host has successfully hunted a Luck Protagonist. Reward: Achievement of the Saint Realm without Undergoing Tribulation!]

Hearing this reward from the System, Zhou Yuxuan didn't even have time to be happy.

Suddenly, he felt a powerful force surging wildly through his body—his physique, his Divine Sense, his True Essence, and so on.

The moment his cultivation stepped into the Saint Realm, he felt an extraordinary transformation.

Furthermore, the sky above remained clear, without any crisis of an impending tribulation.

"I... I have broken through to the Saint Realm?" Zhou Yuxuan said with great excitement.

The Saint Realm.

One's will becomes the Heavenly Will; one's heart replaces the Heavenly Heart.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuxuan shifted his Divine Thought. Suddenly, the clear sky alternated between heavy snowfall and scorching summer heat.

All sorts of celestial phenomena appeared one after another following Zhou Yuxuan's thoughts.

Just as Zhou Yuxuan was rejoicing, the originally clear sky began to fill with dark clouds. The galaxy reversed, and countless stars gathered into an endless river across the sky.

Then, at the front of this star river, a woman dressed in a white gown, holding an extraordinary treasure in her hand, walked step by step toward Zhou Yuxuan's location.

"Wh—What's happening? Didn't it say there would be no tribulation? What is this? Is this even more terrifying than a Lightning Tribulation?"

Zhou Yuxuan murmured in confusion.

He could sense that the figure on the star river possessed extraordinary cultivation, but as she traveled against the current, her cultivation was being constantly suppressed.

Finally, when the woman arrived at Zhou Yuxuan's current time period,

she stopped her pace, and her aura settled at the Peak of the Supreme Realm.

Then, the woman's cold eyes stared fixedly at Zhou Yuxuan.

"Anomaly, this Empress has searched for you against the flow of time, and has finally found you here!"

"For the sake of Brother Qin Tian's future grand plan, please go to your death!"
