Chapter 466: The Return Of The Divine Firmament Saint!
The geniuses of the Eastern Wilderness were still worried about the safety of w.a.n.g Shenxu and the others. They were prepared to charge in and save them.
Little did they know that the three of them were just standing at a side and watching a good show.
...
The surrounding black mist surged, its aura overflowing and surrounding the region.
This was not only an evil aura, but it was also a supreme array set up by the Evil Spirits from the outer realm.
It used the evil qi as a guide and heaven and earth as the foundation to set up a supreme Blood Sacrifice Array.
The black mist contained a supreme evil force. It was like an abyss that constantly devoured blood essence and life force.
The Evil Spirit followers were long dead. The black mist devoured their life force, and they turned into a pool of blood. Not even their bones were left behind.
The black mist was also refining the remaining Evil Spirit experts into pure energy.
The ground cracked, and the plants withered, losing all their vitality.
This realm was like an endless purgatory, about to fall completely.
The Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit used the Blood Sacrifice Array to devour everything under the heavens, absorbing vitality to replenish itself.
The black mist became darker and darker, emitting a terrifying aura.
Ordinary Sages wouldn’t be able to withstand it for long before they were swallowed and refined.
Even if a Great Sage were to stay here for too long, their vital energy would be sapped dry.
This was an unparalleled technique of the Evil Spirit race, capable of slaughtering countless living beings.
Seeing this scene, w.a.n.g Shenxu and the rest felt a chill down their spines.
They could feel how terrifying it was and did not dare to touch it.
Fortunately, they were enveloped in blazing divine light, and the evil qi couldn’t come into contact with them.
This was the method Shen Tian had left behind to protect them. Otherwise, the three of them wouldn’t have been able to withstand the overwhelming might of the demonic mist.
In front of them, the Divine Sun Cauldron stretched across the void, divine flames erupting out, its brilliance illuminating heaven and earth.
The True Sun Fire was magnificent and dazzling, baptizing heaven and earth with the power of extreme Yang.
When the black mist touched the True Sun Fire, it quickly scattered like snow meeting fire, unable to contend against it.
Above the divine furnace, endless natural laws rushed into the heavens, their aura shaking the heavens and earth.
This power was triggered by the battle between Shen Tian and the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit.
Shen Tian had used the Divine Sun Cauldron to suppress it and forcefully dragged the Evil Spirit into the furnace, using the True Sun Fire to suppress it.
Within the Divine Sun Cauldron, the power of the Evil Spirit from the outer realm was greatly restrained, making it difficult for it to contend against Shen Tian.
Rumbling sounds could be heard. It was the sound of metal striking flesh, making one’s hair stand on its end.
w.a.n.g Shenxu and the other two were excited.
Although they could not see the scene inside, they could guess the battle situation just by hearing the sound.
Undoubtedly, Shen Tian had the upper hand and was hammering the Evil Spirit!
The White Thearch took a Sacred Sunflower Flower out of who knew where and peeled off a sparkling and translucent Sacred Sunflower Seed with rich vitality.
He started munching on the seeds and said, “How long do you think it will take Little Boy Shen to deal with that Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit?”
Yue Yunde rubbed his chin and s.n.a.t.c.hed a large handful of Sacred Sunflower Seeds from the White Thearch’s hands, making the White Thearch cry out in anger.
“Although Junior Brother is powerful, that is still a Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit. It cannot be underestimated. No matter what, it will take at least half a month!”
How could a battle between experts end in minutes?
If they were evenly matched at their level, it would not be a problem for them to fight for half a month.
The only way to end the battle quickly was if the difference in strength was too great.
...
Yue Yunde believed that since Shen Tian could crush Great Sages, he must have the combat strength of a Sub-Immortal too.
The Evil Spirit from the outer realm was also a Sub-Immortal, and perhaps even stronger than ordinary Sub-Immortals.
It came from outside this region. Regardless of whether it was in terms of foundation or strength, it far exceeded cultivators of the same level.
Of course, that was only for ordinary cultivators.
Against cultivators with monstrous talent, even if they were at the same cultivation level, they would still die.
Yue Yunde estimated that this battle would only stop after someone exhausted their powers.
w.a.n.g Shenxu shook his head and retorted, “I think a few days is enough!
“Didn’t you see Brother Shen taking out his Thearch artifact? Wouldn’t it be a piece of cake to deal with the Evil Spirit cub?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They were used to Shen Tian’s terrifying battle prowess and were used to being numb with shock.
With Shen Tian here, the Evil Spirit Sect Forbidden Grounds that could cause Great Sages to bleed to death simply didn’t have any pressure on them at all.
...
“We still have time anyway. Let’s chew on some seeds first! I’ve suffered a huge loss this time. I have to make up for it!”
With that said, w.a.n.g Shenxu took a big melon out of his pocket.
The melon was fresh and tender, exuding a soul-stirring fragrance. The huge melon contained rich life energy and was able to nurture the body and recover vitality.
w.a.n.g Shenxu picked up the melon and ate it with relish.
He ate the melon while recovering his vitality. He even lost a few strands of white hair.
Seeing that someone else was eating a melon, the White Thearch and Yue Yunde’s gazes immediately converged.
This was especially the case for the White Thearch. He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. The Sunflower Seeds in his hands were no longer fragrant.
“Hehe, Brother w.a.n.g, what kind of seed is this? Why does it smell so good?”
“Can I have a taste?”
Yue Yunde even walked up and rubbed his hands with a drooling expression.
“What are you doing?” w.a.n.g Shenxu immediately hid the seeds to the side and said, “This is my great tonic. If you want to eat, go find that boy, Qi Zhan. Don’t have any ideas about mine. I don’t have that many treasures!”
This seed was a treasured Azure Spirit Fruit of the Golden-Eyed Fire Ape clan.
Even the Jixia Academy teachers coveted this item. It was a spirit fruit at the level of a Sage herb.
After w.a.n.g Shenxu had received the news, he had run to Qi Zhan’s side and fooled him for a few days before getting a few.
Seeing how Yue Yunde and the White Thearch were salivating and wanted to ask for the melon in his hand, w.a.n.g Shenxu naturally refused.
“Hehe, that’s not up to you. Hand over the seeds, or I’ll let you have a taste of my divine fist!”
The White Thearch rubbed his palms together and walked toward w.a.n.g Shenxu.
“What the f*ck? Robbery?”
w.a.n.g Shenxu cried out loudly and hurriedly got up. He had always been the one robbing others. No one had ever s.n.a.t.c.hed from him before!
“Old w.a.n.g, oh Old w.a.n.g, with your current strength, you won’t be able to withstand our beating.”
Yue Yunpeng had a sinister smile on his face as he appeared on the other side, blocking w.a.n.g Shenxu’s escape route.
“Hmph, don’t even think about it! I would rather die than submit!”
w.a.n.g Shenxu tightly hugged the melon, his will firm.
It was impossible to give his melon to others, not in this lifetime!
“Is that so? Eat my punch!”
The White Thearch rushed forward and waved his huge tortoise fist, wanting to s.n.a.t.c.h the Azure Spirit Fruit!
On the other side, Yue Yunde also took action. He took out a talisman, lit it up, and threw it toward w.a.n.g Shenxu!
“Stop, stop, stop. I’ll give, I’ll give, alright?”
w.a.n.g Shenxu cried out loudly. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
With his strength, he was not able to defeat the two of them even if he was in his prime form.
Furthermore, he had already burned away 90% of his lifespan, and less than 10% of his battle prowess remained.
If he continued to fight on, he would definitely get beaten up!
Furthermore, these two were not that kind!
He had no choice but to hand over the Azure Spirit Fruit and share it with everyone.
However, the corners of his mouth were twitching in pain.
d.a.m.n it!
He didn’t expect to meet these two scammers who only knew how to scam him.
...
At that moment, rumbling noises sounded from the outside world.
More and more divine energy blasted into the black mist, attempting to shatter it.
Upon seeing this scene, w.a.n.g Shenxu’s eyes lit up.
“It must be our comrades!”
The three of them immediately flew out of the black mist.
As expected, there was a group of Eastern Wilderness geniuses standing outside the black mist.
These elites were all good friends of Shen Tian and formed small groups after he disappeared.
Many of them had consumed Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills before, and their talent could be said to be extraordinary.
They all took action, stirring up the black mist.
Qi Shaoxuan wielded the square dragon halberd and swung it around.
Purple energy rose, releasing endless purple radiance. It pierced through the black mist and destroyed a large area of it.
The four Divine Firmament prodigies attacked as well.
A lightning white tiger burst out from Zhang Yunxi’s back, roaring as it shattered the endless laws.
Fang Chang transformed into a 100,000-foot-tall giant as his body emitted Five Elements Divine Light.
The avatar of a Qilin rose up and suppressed the entire universe.
Zhang Yunting played his zither, releasing a beautiful, profound sound as if it was a supreme offensive war cry, destroying the void!
Zhao Hao leaped into the air, transforming into a blazing Vermilion Bird.
He wielded the endless Mixed Divine Lightning, causing the world to tremble.
After reaching the True Sage level, the four of them were significantly stronger than before.
Every attack of theirs was no weaker than an attack of a Great Sage!
...
The other Eastern Wilderness geniuses also attacked.
Even the black mist that the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit had set up was on the verge of shattering.
After all, the Evil Spirit was no longer controlling the array. Instead, it was being ravaged in the Divine Sun Cauldron.
The black mist here was like a rootless source, and it wouldn’t be long before it was shattered.
These people were not the strongest.
A beautiful figure walked out, the moons around her shining brightly.
The 12 silver moons were vast, holy, and flawless.
She was like a fairy from heaven that should not have appeared in the mortal world. She shattered the void with a wave of her hand.
She was Fairy Qingyue.
As if she felt that her speed was too slow, Fairy Qingyue’s azure clothes fluttered, and the moonlight in her body erupted!
Clang!
The Golden Moon Wheel howled, shooting out endless rays of light. The rays of light were bright and flawless, but they also emitted a terrifying might.
The supreme-grade Immortal artifact, the Golden Moon Wheel, erupted with boundless offensive power.
This scene made w.a.n.g Shenxu’s scalp tingle.
His heart trembled as he mumbled.
“Oh my G.o.d, do you have to be so fierce to directly use a supreme-grade Immortal artifact?
“Is this really appropriate?
“I feel like you’re not going to cut open the black mist, but to kill us all!”
w.a.n.g Shenxu hurriedly ran out and shouted, “Everyone, stop! We’re on the same side!”
Seeing w.a.n.g Shenxu appear, everyone revealed puzzled expressions.
“Old w.a.n.g, aren’t you getting beaten up?”
Kuduo looked confused. They had come rushing in to save w.a.n.g Shenxu, but he had managed to run out himself?
“Beaten up? When have I ever been beaten up?”
w.a.n.g Shenxu was at a loss, not knowing what these people were talking about.
Qi Shaoxuan pouted. “You’re still being stubborn. Look at you. You must have been beaten up a lot!”
w.a.n.g Shenxu’s current state was too miserable. He was as thin as a matchstick and had white hair. He looked like he had one foot in the grave.
The corners of w.a.n.g Shenxu’s mouth twitched as he sighed. “This matter is a long story!”
He felt extremely wronged when thinking of this.
Of these three people, Yue Yunde and the White Thearch were completely fine. Only his lifespan had been greatly reduced.
Why am I always the one getting hurt? Why am I always the one losing blood?
In the end, I am still the one who shouldered everything!
...
But then, he roughly explained what had happened.
Everyone was shocked. “What?”
“The h.e.l.l Protector King set up a trap, and a Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit descended?”
“How did you escape?”
They were naturally aware of the h.e.l.l Protector King’s strength. He was an Eleven Tribulation Mighty Sage!
Given w.a.n.g Shenxu’s strength, how could he escape from him?
Not to mention, there was still the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit!
Everyone suspected that w.a.n.g Shenxu was bragging.
However, after sensing the terrifying aura in the black mist, they had no choice but to think about it carefully.
w.a.n.g Shenxu did not explain. Instead, he grinned. “Hehe, you’ll find out later!”
He hid part of the truth and planned to surprise them later.
Everyone was confused.
Since they weren’t the ones being beaten up, who else could it be?
...
Suddenly, a loud explosion came from the black mist!
Dazzling silver light shot into the sky and blotted out the sun, suppressing the black mist.
Everyone focused their eyes and looked over. They saw a ma.s.sive 100,000 foot tall silver divine wheel floating in the void, emitting endless divine light!
The silver divine wheel’s radiance was resplendent, with multicolored light swirling about, making it holy and grand.
Boundless and immeasurable power swept out, transforming into a vortex that constantly purified the black mist, allowing the world to recover its clarity.
This object was precisely the Six Paths Of Reincarnations Disk.
The Six Paths Of Reincarnations Disk released its holy power as if it released a rain of light that baptized heaven and earth.
And beneath the rain of light, there was a phantom that was violently trembling. It was prostrating on the ground, unable to move.
The evil aura around its body dispersed and was continuously absorbed by the Six Paths Of Reincarnation Disk as it let out an incomparably mournful howl.
“No... No!”
The roar was heartbreaking and filled with fear and horror.
This person was precisely the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit from the outer realm.
Previously, it was dragged into the Divine Sun Cauldron by Shen Tian, and with the might of a Thearch artifact and the help of the True Sun Fire, it was beaten until it doubted its life.
The outer realm Evil Spirits were powerful and had tenacious vitality.
It had forcefully been withstanding Shen Tian’s attack and didn’t explode. It had been secretly delighted, thinking that it had a chance to counterattack.
However, after seeing the Six Paths of Reincarnation disk that Shen Tian had taken out, the Evil Spirit immediately despaired!
Anything with the power of Samsara was extremely effective against the Evil Spirit race and could purify the evil aura within their bodies.
Once the evil aura was purified, would the Evil Spirits still be called Evil Spirits?
As expected, under the suppression of the Six Paths Of Reincarnations Disk, the Evil Spirit from the outer realm was finally unable to hold on.
It was completely purified and annihilated, exploding into a rain of light.
A supreme golden light suddenly burst forth, illuminating thousands of miles, dazzling to the extreme!
This was the power of merit, vast and unfathomable, profound and mysterious.
Then, endless golden light descended into the valley.
Shen Tian’s body shook slightly as it was immediately baptized by the golden light, shining brightly.
He felt a light feeling of pleasure as if even his soul had undergone an indescribable transformation.
A giant golden wheel of light appeared behind Shen Tian, emitting a brilliant light that was majestic and dignified.
...
Upon seeing this scene, Kuduo could not help but cry out, “This is... the Golden Wheel of Merit!?”
His eyes widened. As a Buddhist disciple, how could he not know what the Golden Wheel of Merit meant?
It was something that could only be formed after gathering the power of virtuous merit to a certain extent!
The Golden Wheel of Merit greatly restrained Evil Spirits. Furthermore, the greater amount of merit acc.u.mulated, the larger it would become!
This was a special power of the Heavenly Dao, and it possessed great benefits.
It could increase one’s comprehension ability and could be used to attack, refine weapons, refine pills, etc.
However, the most important thing was that it allowed one to look cool!
Whenever the person went out, there would be a 100,000 feet golden wheel behind them, making them look extremely cool and awesome!
However, the Golden Wheel of Merit was not so easy to condense. It required a ma.s.sive amount of merit.
The Sonic Thunder Buddhist Lord had lived for thousands of years before condensing the Golden Wheel of Merit. Furthermore, the one he had condensed was only 1,000 feet wide!
At present, this Golden Wheel of Merit was 50,000 feet in radius. It was just too terrifying!
Who could have so much merit?
Kuduo’s face was full of bewilderment. He wanted to see which G.o.d had such accomplishments.
Even though the others didn’t know much about the Golden Wheel of Merit, they knew that the Evil Spirit that was killed was a Sub-Immortal existence.
To be able to kill a Sub-lmmortal Evil Spirit, the person was absolutely a supreme expert.
Could it be that the five regions were about to produce a supreme expert who could condense a 100,000 feet Golden Wheel of Merit?
This was a great thing for them.
The Evil Spirit race was currently wreaking havoc all over the place. They were bringing calamity to the common people, causing them to be unable to continue living.
With the strength of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, it was impossible for them to mobilize an army to suppress the Evil Spirits at all times.
There were simply too many Evil Spirits. They were scattered everywhere.
This required the strength of the entire five regions to contend against the Evil Spirits outside!
The more experts the five regions had, the greater the hope!
...
Everyone focused their attention on the depths of the valley.
Finally, a figure walked out.
It was a man wearing golden armor with golden wings on his back.
He stood proudly in the void, looking heroic!
The man slowly walked over. His figure was light and graceful, and his body emitted a divine radiance.
His handsome face was like an otherworldly immortal, extraordinary and untainted.
When they saw this figure, everyone was greatly shaken, with their bodies trembling. Their eyes were filled with astonishment, shock, surprise, excitement, and many other emotions.
For a moment, all the paragons stood rooted to the ground in disbelief.
“Brother... Brother Shen?”
Qi Shaoxuan’s voice trembled.
Even with his incomparably calm state of mind, he couldn’t help but waver.
This was such a pleasant surprise!
After 180 years, the Divine Firmament Saint had appeared once again. Furthermore, he had killed a Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit on his first appearance!
This battle record was insane.
Only the Divine Firmament Saint could be the one who did it!
That man was finally back!
I, Qi Shaoxuan, can once again challenge the strongest under the heavens!
...
“Junior Brother!”
At that moment, a beautiful figure dashed over and threw herself into Shen Tian’s arms.
Feeling the warmth in his arms, Shen Tian was slightly stunned.
This person was none other than Zhang Yunxi. She tightly hugged Shen Tian’s waist and refused to let go, afraid that he would suddenly disappear. This was the person whom she had dreamed about for a hundred years and finally met.
As a result, Zhang Yunxi put down her reservations and hugged Shen Tian tightly.
“Senior Sister...”
Shen Tian could feel Zhang Yunxi trembling in his arms.
At that moment, she was no longer the hot-tempered Saintess of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. Instead, she looked like a weak woman.
“Junior Brother, you are finally back.”
Zhang Yunxi buried her head in Shen Tian’s chest and murmured softly, seemingly in disbelief.
Shen Tian’s eyes softened as he caressed Zhang Yunxi’s back. “Senior Sister, I’m back.”
The tears finally broke the dam and wet Shen Tian’s clothes.
Seeing this, everyone cheered.
“The Divine Firmament Saint has finally returned!”
“Great, this is great!”
Everyone had been worried when Shen Tian disappeared.
Now that he had returned, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Eunuch Gui’s face was also filled with relief. “His Highness is fine. Consort Lan, thank you for blessing us. This is great!”
Instantly, the atmosphere became joyous.
As for the other female Eastern Wilderness paragons, their gazes were all focused on Zhang Yunxi.
Envy rose in their hearts.
The Divine Firmament Saintess is truly blessed to be able to stay in his embrace for so long.
If I had such treatment, I would definitely faint from happiness.
...
Fairy Qingyue’s heart stirred. She turned her head slightly to the side as an inexplicable sour feeling arose in her heart.
However, she quickly turned around and focused her gaze on Shen Tian, not wanting to miss a single detail!
She was also afraid that Shen Tian would disappear in the blink of an eye.
It had been like this back in the Supreme Sky Tree World. Who would have thought that they would only meet after 180 years?
Fairy Qingyue looked steadily at Shen Tian, her gaze becoming increasingly gentle.
Junior Brother, it’s good that you’re back!
