Chapter 1299: Battle of Saint Slayer (3)



Chapter 1299: Battle of Saint Slayer (3)

A flash crossed through the Abyssal Titan’s eyes. Honestly, he had not expected things to happen this way. The Scholartree Saint and Nether Saint were cooperating and Dragon Mountain and the unlucky bastard that he had just dealt with wanted to destroy the Peach Garden?

What a joke. How could True Saints from the shore be killed so easily? As long as the Spring Master was alive, the Peach Garden had nothing to worry about. No one would be willing to face the wrath of a True Saint who wanted vengeance.

The Scholartree Saint had been on bad terms with the Peach Garden for a long time and the Nether Saint probably had some knowledge of the truth. If these two were confident and they took a risk, who were Dragon Mountain and that unlucky bastard?

Qin Yu had killed two Half-Saints as easily as killing chickens. The Spring Master would be even more extreme. Since the Scholartree Saint and Nether Saint were both bold enough to barge in, they must be very confident. It would be hard for the Peach Garden to escape trouble this time.

In other words, there must be others aside from the Scholartree Saint and Nether Saint. There might be another True Saint from shore.

As such, the Abyssal Titan morphed from Qin Yu had attacked madly. It seemed like he did not hold the Nether Saint in high regard but actually, he was being cautious. The one beside him, Nine Heads…wrong, this name was not appropriate now. After all, it was a Shadow of the Abyss who was concealed beneath the physical body.

The Shadow of the Abyss was hidden in the dark and he closely examined the surroundings to find any hidden enemies. If there was only one other True Saint from shore, this battle was still manageable. If there were two or more, Qin Yu would flee without a second thought. He believed that the Spring Master would make a similar decision.

This was not because he was fearful or he was embarrassed. He would not be too bold to the point of being stupid. Protecting himself came first. As long as he and the Spring Master were fine, no one would dare to provoke the Peach Garden even if he lost today. Otherwise, they would need to be prepared for vengeance.

The alliance of the other cultivators may now be an opportunity to cut off the rhythm of his enemies and cause the entire battle to spiral out of control. It might be a good thing. The Shadow of the Abyss had not sent him a message yet and this meant that his hidden enemy was waiting for a chance. A patient hunter was always more dangerous.

Kaboom –

The Sea of Blood shook as violent waves splashed outwards, threatening to turn over the entire world and reduce everything to dust. The more intense the battle was, the more obvious Qin Yu’s strength. The Nether Saint’s eyes were a deep red and it seemed like blood was almost about to drip out.

This young man…had to be killed.

He had already sensed someone looking at him from the Battle from Shore. There was another person targeting Qin Yu. It was obvious that his performance had attracted the attention of greedy others.

He licked his lips, revealing his red tongue and white teeth. It instantly burst with tyrannical forces. This could not be delayed any longer. If another old fart was attracted over, the situation would change drastically.

A single finger pointed out at the Sea of Blood. With a sudden ‘bang’, the Sea of Blood started to burn fiercely. Bloody water underneath boiled from the heat and turned into vapor that flooded the air.

The Blood Demon roared and shot into the boundless blood mist. In the next instant, the mist gathered together and a line of Great Dao appeared. At that point, there were numerous mirages of the dead screaming in the air with chilling murderous intent. Piercing screams escaped their mouths and it felt as though the Abyss was going to devour the surroundings.

True Saint Phenomenon!

The Nether Saint had walked a cultivation path of killing. Along the way, he had accumulated the grievances and hatred of millions of others through their deaths. This sustained his Great Dao.

As mentioned before, the greatest power of a cultivator was his personal Great Dao. With the Nether Saint unleashing his murderous Great Dao, it meant that he was going to do everything to crush Qin Yu. Even if he was going to receive a backlash from this, he was willing to make that sacrifice.

Crush Qin Yu no matter what!

The strongest energy for a cultivator was also closely tied to his life. If this was harmed, he would be lucky to escape with injuries. In the worst case, the injuries might cause his Great Dao to crumble apart and he might die.

Boom!

The Great Dao came crashing down like a sword filled with dense killing intent. It penetrated the mind and many cultivators screamed in agony as their eardrums rang. Their target was the Abyssal Titan, Qin Yu. The top hunter of the Abyss needed to be brutally beheaded.

Heart racing in his chest, he spurred on all the blood in him. Qin Yu felt the frightening speed from the Nether Saint’s killing Great Dao. It morphed into a long sword that seemed to be refined from the corpses in the Sea of Blood. The Killing Great Dao seemed to be out to kill Qin Yu, but he knew that the Nether Saint merely wanted to crush him.

No matter what, he could not be devoured by the Nether Saint’s Great Dao. Even the Abyssal Titan, whose entire body was made from the Rule System Body, couldn’t withstand the Great Dao from a True Saint. This was because there was an independent world in the Great Dao. Within it, the Nether Saint was the master of ten thousand creatures!

It was not possible to attack. The True Saint Phenomenon had locked onto his aura. He would either defend himself against it or be sucked in to become one of the ten thousand creatures. Aside from these, he had no other choices. This was how scary the True Saint Phenomenon was. If he was not a match, there was no way he could win.

It was obvious that the Nether Saint was fully confident in his realm, and the powers of the Killing Great Dao. After all, how much could Qin Yu have grown after so recently obtaining the body of the Spiritual Snake? A brute force confrontation might not make it obvious. But when it came to the level of a Saint Great Dao, it would come into sight.

However, he did not know that Qin Yu had almost died in the Lost Garden. He eventually pulled through and fully refined the Rule System Body. At the same time, his cultivation soared and he had broken through the limits as spoken in the legends. He had reached the Galaxy God Mark.

As such, Qin Yu had not obtained merely pure strength. He had truly refined it into something of his own. If the Nether Saint knew this, he would have thought twice about his decision.

However, there was no such thing as ‘ifs’ in this world. When the Nether Saint pulled out his Great Dao, the entire battle took a turn.

What good was a Battle of Saint Slayer if it was just a few Half-Saints fighting it out in the Sea of Bitterness? It needed True Saints to actually be deserving of its name!

The Abyssal Titan punched upwards against the Killing Great Dao, roaring ferociously. At that point, onlookers could see that black scales on the Abyssal Titan’s body were glowing.

The light that came off the black scales astonished people. More importantly, there were masses of light streaks within it that constantly combined and separated. This process repeated continuously.

In the altar, the corpse of the Spiritual Snake could also give off light. However, that was pure light and it was not this mysterious and weird spectacle of light happening before them.

Of course, this did not mean that the light Qin Yu gave off was very strong. Instead, this was because Qin Yu had not yet been able to control the strength of the Rule System Body. Rules were constantly present in the Vast Brightness World and they formed it. However, it was hard for an individual within it to see the rules.

In simplistic terms, invisible substances were the real world.

Despite that, the light from the scales of the Abyssal Titan was a barricade that forcefully defended against the Killing Great Dao. The pitiful cries of numerous cultivators could not take another step out.

Buzz buzz –

Space shook violently and there was only a blurry outline of the shore battlefield. At that point, it descended and condensed rapidly, enclosing both parties within.

“Rule System Body!” The Nether Saint gasped as his eyes quavered. For a True Saint of his level to display this reaction, it showed how moved he was internally.

Stone Pagoda once said that another name for the Rule System Body was Forging Heaven, and it meant that the person’s soul would refine the most beautiful state of the heavens and earth. In actual fact, this was just another term for it in the Vast Brightness World.

The True God Path required constant comprehension of rules of the heavens and earth to merge with one’s soul. This was how a body would follow the cultivation path and it was how a cultivator’s strength would increase.

After this method of cultivation was confirmed, at the peak of cultivation, someone put forward another cultivation method. Since a cultivator’s strength could increase continuously with rules entering the soul, a body would also be the same.

This was probably the birth of the Rule System Body and it gave rise to another cultivation method. However, it was a pity that the Rule System Body was even harder than the True God Path. Furthermore, there was a limitation to both of them. As power increased, it could not prolong a cultivator’s life.

In actual fact, the True God Path and the Rule System Body were cultivation methods that were very in sync with each other. One strengthened a cultivator’s soul while the other was like a large, sturdy bottle. It was a pity that however perfect this was, there were still flaws and no one had managed to walk down this path.

The Nether Saint had lived long in this world and he became a Saint a long time ago. It was possible that he was even older than the Spring Master and the Scholartree Saint, those who had experienced three cycles of Saints coming and going.

As such, he could see how much stronger Qin Yu had gotten instantly. This was why he was shocked. Rule System Body…someone had actually refined a Rule System Body!

Cultivators lived with the heavens and earth. As time went by, their own bodies would reach a boundary and it would be very hard to raise their strength. The Nether Saint had once tried to comprehend the Rule System Body and his understanding of it was sizable.

Reasonably speaking, one had to personally refine himself to a state similar to the heavens and earth in order to amass a Rule System Body. The difficulty of this was immense and it appeared impossible to do it as a True Saint.

Unless someone was powerful enough and had a resource of the heavens and earth within him that could refine his physical body, this was not possible.

If the Nether Saint was thirty to forty percent confident before, he could now confirm that the illusion he saw before of the corpse of a snake must be an innate spirit!

This legendary thing was the only explanation for how Qin Yu could refine the Rule System Body.

It seemed there was a hidden corpse of an innate spirit in the Lost Garden all along. No wonder the ancient creatures could go against natural laws and last till this day.

Ye Xing, this bastard son. He could be forgiven now. After all, his sacrifice had allowed the Nether Saint to confirm the existence of the innate spirit.

Good, very good!

The Nether Saint stepped out. Just like the Blood Demon from before, he morphed into the Killing Great Dao. In the next instant, terrifying blood flames shot into the air.

His Killing Great Dao burnt fiercely as it burnt the dao quintessence. If he could figure things out, others could as well. Therefore, he did not delay further. He had to capture Qin Yu immediately or the power of the innate spirit would fall into the hands of the next Ruler.

Great Dao entered the Nether Saint’s body and burned fiercely. The Killing Great Dao’s power continuously surged.

The shell created by the light started to shake violently and cracks formed as the Abyssal Titan’s outer scales broke apart.

Although he was still worried about the hidden True Saint, Qin Yu could not hold anything back here.

The Abyssal Titan roared and a God Mark illusion formed above his head. It was as bright as the sun and numerous light rays shot out from within. This bright light was dazzling and it looked like streaks of shooting stars in the sky. Slowly, star illusions formed in the God Mark, turning into a striking galaxy!

The light in the stars, along with the light from the scales of the Abyssal Titan, morphed together to form a strong defensive barrier against the Killing Great Dao.

“Galaxy God Mark!”

Qin Yu uttered this within his heart. But suddenly, he heard a cry from the Shadow of the Abyss, “Master, be careful!”

At the critical moment when the Abyssal Titan roared, a punch sneaked out from behind. It tore through the sky from the darkness.

This was a pure ball of darkness that was dense and riddled with a terrifying aura.

It was the third True Saint!

A deafening explosion sounded as the Abyssal Titan retreated backwards. Darkness was like an infection; after it infected the body, it rapidly spread from the first punch.

The darkness shook uncontrollably. A deep, hoarse and cold voice rang out, “The agreement stands. His physical body is yours; I want his soul!”

This man was speaking to the Nether Saint. The Nether Saint frowned but quickly regained his composure and said, “Alright!” Rule System Body before the Galaxy God Mark. Any True Saint would be greedy for what Qin Yu revealed.

Since the hidden Saint attacked, he would not leave so easily. Infighting right now would only create mishaps and agreeing was the best choice.

This decisiveness was unordinary!

“Just one?”

“Yes.”

“Are you sure?”

“Master, don’t worry. I can vouch for this with my life!”

Qin Yu could rest assured of this. If such an anxious person said this, he must be super confident.

This mysterious True Saint was the hidden force today. Things might be better than they seemed.

Two Saints…he might not need to run!
