Muffled sobs rang out throughout the Tianyuan Utopia.
Chi Jing’s little hand in the air stiffened slightly as she stared out of the void in a daze. She didn’t operate the Sky Illuminating Eye this time and just gently wiped the blood at the corners of her lips.
At this time, even someone as determined as her felt a hint of despair.
She painfully closed her eyes.
Master, senior brother…I am incompetent and can’t defend the Tianyuan Utopia, she muttered sorrowfully in her heart.
Under countless gazes, the last piece of the boundary that guarded the Tianyuan Utopia’s entrance began to crack and release countless specks of light.
Once this piece broke, the Tianyuan Utopia would lose the Genesis Qi that connected the 900 prefectures of the Tianyuan Region, and it would undoubtedly collapse.
Kacha!
The last boundary piece crackled as cracks spread throughout it.
Bang!
In the end, the light boundary could no longer hold on, and it finally broke apart.
All the citizens within the Tianyuan Region were in despair.
A relieved smile lit up Zhao Xiansun’s face. Their plan had finally succeeded. From then on, there would be only eight regions in Hunyuan Heaven!
“Huh?” Before the smile fully bloomed on Zhao Xiansun’s face, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He found that the universe Genesis Qi from the region’s 900 prefectures was still flowing towards the Tianyuan Utopia.
“Huh?” The Law Domain experts also cried out in shock.
Mighty auras fluctuated in the depths of the void.
Many people cast their eyes towards the Tianyuan Utopia’s entrance.
Light rays were converging, and the last little boundary piece was still standing strong. Although the boundary was covered in cracks, one could see faint threads joining the cracks together upon a closer look.
Moreover, endless silk threads were hanging down from the void. They constantly pulled over the fragments floating in the void and pieced them back into the light boundary, shocking countless people.
The Law Domain experts were especially shocked because they knew what kind of terrifying power was needed to put the fragments together. Moreover, the silk threads emitted an aura that made them shudder with fear.
That aura…
A Saint expert!
The mighty auras in the depths of the void gradually grew more powerful, and unfathomable eyes revealed themselves in the void. All pairs of eyes stared intently at the light boundary.
"Cang Yuan...are you finally showing yourself?"
Chapter 1064 Congratulations, New Saint
At Tianyuan Utopia’s entrance.
Countless people cast shocked and suspicious gazes at the entrance. Light strands constantly seeped through the void. Those mysterious light threads seemingly possessed extraordinary power and even pieced together the broken boundary fragments.
In just a few breaths, the boundary’s last fragile piece unexpectedly stood strong even though it was covered in faint cracks and was about to shatter.
This scene stunned many experts, and the power contained within the mysterious light threads made their hearts pound with fear.
That power well-surpasses the Law Domain stage! Could it be...supreme sovereign Cang Yuan has finally shown himself?
Within the Tianyuan Utopia, sect master Chi Jing, Xuan Kun and the others were struck dumb by the sudden change. They exchanged surprised and worried glances with one another.
That power must be from a Saint expert! But if Cang Yuan had really returned, even if he could solve the Tianyuan Region’s crisis, in a sense, he had fallen into the opponent's scheme. Therefore, they didn't know whether they wanted to see Cang Yuan appear.
But only the high-level experts pondered that question. Countless people within the Tianyuan Utopia burst into deafening cheers, and their joy wiped out the despair that had previously filled the world.
Zhou Yuan, on the other hand, was anxious. He was uncertain whether the mysterious power came from master Cang Yuan…
“Supreme sovereign Cang Yuan?” Hong Jiuyuan’s pupils shrank and fear filled his eyes. Naturally, he was afraid of the great supreme sovereign.
“Continue to attack!” Zhao Xiansun’s icy voice fell into his ears, causing him to hesitate for a while. In the end, he gritted his teeth and continued to operate the golden tower.
Since they had already reached this step, they couldn’t give up regardless of whether supreme sovereign Cang Yuan had appeared.
Rumble!
Under Hong Jiuyuan’s operation, more terrifying gold torrents rushed into the sky and frantically pounded the boundary put back together by the mysterious light threads.
In the void’s depths, universe Genesis Qi surged and formed a mysterious eye that locked onto the light boundary.
“Cang Yuan, if it’s you, then show yourself!”
Boom!
A mighty golden torrent charged through the boundary under countless gazes.
A crack slowly tore in the void in front of the light boundary, and a hand popped out. The hand, slender and fair, gently reached out to pat the mighty torrent. It appeared extremely small beneath the torrent, but for some reason, its appearance caused the entire void to quake.
Om!
The void froze when the hand patted the golden torrent. Beneath the tiny palm, the torrent’s frightening power evaporated like air and turned into billions of dazzling light specks, shocking countless people.
After the mighty torrent was destroyed, the crack in the void slowly widened, and a figure strode out.
All eyes gathered on the figure.
The mighty auras in the void suddenly flickered.
“You finally showed yourself!”
Endless Genesis Qi rushed forth from somewhere in the void, forming a blurry figure. The figure was imposing and almost invisible, but he emitted an oppressive pressure that made the world tremble.
It was supreme sovereign Wan Zu!
Cang Yuan’s appearance meant his goal had been achieved, and he could continue to the next step of his plan. Wan Zu’s gaze penetrated the void, locked onto the figure stepping out the spatial crack and then…seemed to still momentarily.
“Huh?!”
The other supreme sovereigns also cried out in puzzlement, and their auras shook violently.
“Huh?!”
Countless people cast blank gazes towards the figure, including Law Domain experts, and their mouths slowly fell open.
They realized the figure that stepped out of the spatial crack wasn’t supreme sovereign Cang Yuan, whom they were familiar with.
It was a young man with a tall and straight body like a pine tree. His face was as pretty as jade, and his facial features resembled those of a carved stone statue. He exuded an astonishing charm, and the smile that curved the corners of his lips made one feel at ease. In particular, the scarlet-red gourd on his back, which was as tall as a person, exuded a faint terrifying aura.
The person before them wasn’t supreme sovereign Cang Yuan, whom everybody expected.
The man with the gourd on his back scratched his head and said with a smile, “Hey, it’s so lively here.”
The world fell utterly silent.
Zhou Yuan was also a little dumbfounded. He stared at the mysterious man blankly. He clearly isn’t master Cang Yuan, but if it’s not my master, who is he?
He cast a glance over at Qin Lian and the others and saw puzzled expressions on their faces. They seemed to be vaguely familiar with him, but they couldn’t recognize him.
Zhao Xiansun, Hong Jiuyuan and the other Law Domain experts similarly stared dumbly at the man, and it was only after a good while that shocked disbelief rushed forth from their eyes.
Chi Jing’s eyes widened, and her voice trembled, “Senior brother!?”
Although the man with the huge gourd on his back had a slightly different bearing than he did in the past, Chi Jing recognize
d him from his familiar aura.
“Zhuan Zhu?!” sect master Xuan Kun exclaimed. He was also stunned because the man was supreme sovereign Cang Yuan’s eldest disciple who had been missing for a long time.
They had never imagined that the person who would appear during the Tianyuan Region’s most critical time wouldn’t be supreme sovereign Cang Yuan but Zhuan Zhu!
Hua!
Uproar and commotion broke out among the millions of Tianyuan Region citizens. They also recognized the man after a little reminder. But very soon, they felt a little uneasy again because the person who had come wasn’t supreme sovereign Cang Yuan. Could supreme sovereign Cang Yuan’s eldest disciple, who had been missing for many years, solve their crisis?
“Zhuan Zhu, I didn’t expect it to be you!” A glum look surfaced in Zhao Xiansun’s bewildered eyes. For some reason, he felt a disturbing aura exuding from Zhuan Zhu, a former rival of his. Zhuan Zhu had been in closed-door cultivation for so many years, and Zhao Xiansun had even thought he had died.
But it seemed this wasn’t the case. His eyes gleamed as he passed a message to Hong Jiuyuan, “Attack him!”
Although Zhuan Zhu had shown terrifying powers, those could be the means of Cang Yuan. Zhao Xiansun didn’t dare to think about it and didn’t even dare to believe it.
Hong Jiuyuan immediately activated the nine golden towers when he received the command because he wanted to confirm something. But while the nine towers frantically rotated, Zhuan Zhu seemed to have detected something. His gaze pierced the void, and he smiled, applying pressure with his hand.
Boom!
Space crumbled.
Rumble!
Then, the scene that Zhao Xiansun, Hong Jiuyuan and the other Law Domain experts saw sent a chill down their spines. The golden towers that supreme sovereign Wan Zu had personally created collapsed and were forcibly crushed into golden pancakes.
Even Zhao Xiansun and the others felt fear surging into their hearts because they couldn’t believe what they saw.
After suppressing the nine golden towers behind him, Zhuan Zhu peered up and said with a smile, “Elders, please show yourself.”
The depths of the void vibrated ever so slightly, and mighty Genesis Qi gathered and gradually transformed into eight figures, stunning the countless watchers.
The eight figures stood tall in the void, and when they appeared, the entire world trembled as though it couldn’t bear their powers.
It was the supreme sovereigns of the eight regions! The strongest existences in Hunyuan Heaven! They had all appeared at the same time!
Awe filled countless eyes, but the eight supreme sovereigns ignored those gazes and only stared at Zhuan Zhu. They didn’t utter a word, but their eyes glinted as though they were confirming something.
Zhuan Zhu also knew what they were thinking. He smiled, and the next moment, a wisp of aura rose from his head and turned into a slowly blooming Saint lotus.
The Saint lotus’ appearance caused the heaven and the earth to hum simultaneously and made the Genesis Qi surge wildly. Countless strange sights appeared throughout the world as though congratulating something.
All living beings across the world were astonished.
As for the eight supreme sovereigns, they quivered in the void as they silently watched the saint lotus bloom above Zhuan Zhu’s head with different expressions. But in the end, they all stood with one hand in front of them and bowed their head, performing the most ancient ceremony.
“Congratulations, new Saint.”
Deafening voices as clear as a bell rang throughout Hunyuan Heaven.
Chapter 1065 World Congratulates
“Congratulations, new Saint!”
Resounding voices echoed in every corner of Hunyuan Heaven like a bell.
Countless beings lifted their heads in astonishment. For them, such a spectacle was seen only once in a lifetime, and only those with profound knowledge would remember a record of such spectacles in the ancient books.
“Another Saint is born in Hunyuan Heaven?” They were so shocked that they couldn’t control themselves.
It was rumored that the birth of a new saint would draw congratulations from across the world. Iridescent clouds would fill the sky, and golden lotuses would surge up from underground, all rare spectacular sights.
No one thought they could witness a new Saint’s birth as it was a rare occurrence, and many people would never encounter it once in their entire lives.
Although the citizens in Hunyuan Heaven still didn’t know about the new Saint’s background, that didn’t stop them from feeling delighted because Saint experts were leaders of the human race. The addition of a new Saint indicated that Hunyuan Heaven’s strength had gone up a level, which was undoubtedly a great occurrence from any point of view.
After all, in this world, the human race was not the strongest race. Within the universe, the mysterious and powerful Sacred Race were the true rulers of this world.
The Sacred Race had brought tremendous pressure to the other races in the world. Otherwise, the Sacred Race wouldn’t have dominated four of the nine heavens, and the rest of the races wouldn’t only cower and reside in the other five heavens.
Although the Hunyuan Heaven citizens didn’t know where the new saint came from, those within Tianyuan Region were able to witness the birth of the new Saint. As a result, the entire Tianyuan Region was buzzing like never before.
Countless Tianyuan Region citizens stared blankly at the tall figure with a saint lotus formed above his head. The next moment, they dropped to one knee, and their eyes widened with admiration and reverence.
“Congratulations, new Saint!”
“Congratulations, new Saint!”
“......”
Booming voices echoed throughout the Tianyuan Region’s 900 prefectures, quaking the mountains and sky.
At the borders, Zhao Xiansun, Hong Jiuyuan and the other Law Domain experts stared dumbstruck at the appearance of a new Saint expert. The Genesis Qi frantically circulating around their bodies displayed how strong their emotions were at that moment.
Especially Zhao Xiansun. His eyes were wide with disbelief. After all, he had always regarded Zhuan Zhu as his rival. He originally thought he could catch up to Zhuan Zhu, but Zhuan Zhu’s appearance seemed to have directly thrust him into the depths of an abyss.
The Saint lotus above Zhuan Zhu’s head clearly symbolized his cultivation level. He was a one-lotus Saint expert!
Zhuan Zhu had already become a Saint expert!
Everyone below the Saint stage was ordinary to him!
“How is that possible…how is that possible…,” Zhao Xiansun murmured.
As an expert at the pinnacle of the Law Domain stage, he was only one step away from becoming a Saint expert, but the gap he had to cross was comparable to the distance between heaven and earth. It was possible that he would never make that step in his life.
When he met Zhuan Zhu again in the future, he would have no choice but to bow his head and respectfully address him as supreme sovereign.
How could he accept this? But even if he couldn’t, would Zhuan Zhu return to the Law Domain stage?
Zhao Xiansun slowly lowered his head, and the triumphant look he had before had completely vanished.
...
On the Tianyuan Region’s border.
Bai Ye lifted his head and gazed silently at the void. As he quivered, he exuded a terrifying aura.
Many White Clan experts stood behind him, similarly filled with fear. They originally thought the Tianyuan Region would be destroyed, but who would have thought that Zhuan Zhu would suddenly appear at the critical moment?
Moreover, he had broken into the Saint stage! It was terrifying to have two Saint experts in one region!
All White Clan experts felt a chilling terror creep over them. They were well aware of the power a Saint expert possessed and knew that they would fall into a crisis if Zhuan Zhu noticed them.
“Clan leader…,” A White clan el
der muttered in a trembling voice.
This voice snapped Bai Ye out from his horror. His expression changed dramatically, and he finally said hoarsely, "Quickly inform all White Clan members to escape from the Tianyuan Region!”
Everybody was silent and still for a moment when they heard his command, but soon, many scrambled to flee.
...
The Tianyuan Utopia similarly plunged into a surging ocean.
After the initial shock, even Chi Jing and sect master Xuan Kun couldn't stop a smile from spreading over their faces.
“I didn’t expect Zhuan Zhu to break through to the Saint stage…his talent…” Sect master Xuan Kun sighed, jealousy in his voice.
Mu Ni chuckled, “We have to call him supreme sovereign Zhuan Zhu from now on.”
Grand elder Bian Chang also laughed, "Haha, it seems the heaven doesn’t want our Tianyuan Region destroyed. It is incredibly rare to have two saints in one region in the history of Hunyuan Heaven!”
Chi Jing clenched her hands tightly as she gazed up at Zhuan Zhu’s figure with tear-filled eyes. Before Zhuan Zhu’s appearance, she was determined to defend the Tianyuan Utopia to death, but who would have thought that her senior brother would suddenly break through to the Saint stage and shock the world!
“So many years of closed-door cultivation is indeed effective…” Chi Jing felt a weight lift from her, and she said with pursed lips, “Where did he find such a huge gourd? He looks silly…but he didn’t disappoint me after I worked so hard for so many years to help him take care of the responsibilities required of the grand elder position.”
Sect master Xuan Kun and the others laughed. They were previously so anxious that they didn’t even dare show a smile. But now that Zhuan Zhu had broken through to the Saint stage, he had become their pillar. Even if Zhuan Zhu might be weaker than the other veteran supreme sovereigns, he was still a Saint stage expert, and even the other supreme sovereigns had to treat him as an equal.
The tremendous pressure they previously endured had diminished.
...
“So, that’s senior brother Zhuan Zhu…”
Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise when he finally learned the identity of the man carrying the huge scarlet gourd.
