Chapter 551: Chapter 551: World-Ending Heavenly Calamity Strikes Down an Ancient Saint, Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella Unfolds
“Is it really a Saint who has achieved the Physical Body Saint Path?” the City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City’s expression changed drastically.
Those in the Saint Realm are the supreme figures of the Shenzhou Continent.
Even when looking across the starry sky, those of the Saint Realm stand at the absolute peak, a single person capable of creating an eternal Holy Land.
And those who have reached sanctification through the flesh are the elite among the Saints.
Such beings are enough to look down upon their peers.
“We can almost confirm that he is a top-tier powerhouse who has taken the Physical Body Saint Path. The strength of his defense is so formidable that even I struggle to break through,” the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint said gravely.
The mysterious figure has only shown the strength of a Quasi-Saint, which is not very powerful, but his physical domain is terrifying.
The Jiaoyang Ancient Saint believed that this mysterious person practiced dual cultivation of magic and body, and although his magic cultivation was only at the Quasi-Saint level, his physical body had achieved sanctification.
Such an existence is extremely terrifying.
Once his magic cultivation also reaches the Saint Realm, he will truly be someone who practices dual cultivation of magic and body, almost invincible amongst his peers.
“Lord Ancient Saint, how should we deal with this matter?” the City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City asked curiously.
“This matter, I will decide on my own. You may leave for now.”
“Yes.”
The City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City exited the realm of Jiaoyang.
An hour later.
The Jiaoyang Ancient Saint released a Law Projection, tearing open the domain of Jiaoyang and appearing above Zhongyuan City.
“This is the place.”
He murmured.
Through deduction, the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint reconstructed the scene of the event, more clearly and for a longer duration than the imagery given by the City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City.
However, the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint still couldn’t deduce the appearance of the mysterious figure.
“Strange!”
He was slightly surprised, “Even I cannot deduce this person’s appearance. Could it be that his magic cultivation level is above mine? But that’s impossible, his magic cultivation is only at the Quasi-Saint level.”
After pondering for a moment, the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint’s eyebrows twitched.
“I understand now!”
“This person has achieved Physical Body Saint Path, possessing a special Invincible Domain, which allows him to evade my deduction… Well, if deductive reasoning is futile, then it’s time to look elsewhere.”
The Jiaoyang Ancient Saint turned his gaze towards Mystique Kingdom.
“I wonder how the Ancient Holy God’s skull buried beneath the Hardwood Plains is doing. This individual was a Saint who fell in battle, and if I could merge with his skull, it would boost my physical strength tremendously.”
“Unfortunately, the skull of this Ancient Holy God contains a very tenacious willpower, difficult to refine.”
The Jiaoyang Ancient Saint murmured to himself.
It was also a fluke that he had discovered the skull of the Ancient Holy God beneath the Hardwood Plains, so he had been secretly aiding Mystique Kingdom.
Now, as Mystique Kingdom had become a Four Star Level force under the rule of Jiaoyang Holy City, it naturally fell under his rule.
Even if the Saints of the other eight Holy Lands discovered the skull of the Ancient Holy God, they would have no reason to seize it.
“Let’s go to the Hardwood Plains first.”
The projection of the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint vanished in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already above the Hardwood Plains.
“Eh, there are traces of digging.”
The Jiaoyang Ancient Saint was slightly surprised, “No matter, even if ordinary cultivators stumbled upon the Ancient Holy God’s skull, they wouldn’t be able to take it away. Only those in the Saint Realm possess the qualifications to activate and refine it.”
Hum!
As the projection of the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint appeared, the Ancient Holy God’s skull buried deep within the ground suddenly burst out with a terrifying aura.
“Such powerful willpower!”
The projection of the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint immediately said in a deep voice, “Predecessor, you have died on the battlefield many years ago, why not bestow this remnant body to the later generation for integration? Once my physical strength surges, I will be able to fulfill your legacy.”
Rumble rumble…
However, the skull of the Ancient Holy God emitted thunderous sounds, and even the sky above the Southern River Basin manifested terrifying Tribulation Clouds.
“What’s going on?”
At the summit of Misty Peak, Ye Feng jumped up in fright, staring wide-eyed at the Tribulation Clouds in the sky.
“This is the World-Ending Heavenly Calamity, which only those above the Void Break Realm encounter. Why is it happening? Could it be that someone is attempting to break through to the Void Break Realm?”
Ye Feng’s expression was solemn.
The next moment, he took out the Lower Grade Spiritual Treasure “Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella” awarded by the system.
Since obtaining it, he had not once used it.
Although he hadn’t used it, it didn’t mean it was useless. On the contrary, it could devour thunder and store it, which was a significant function.
“Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella, open!”
Ye Feng opened the Lower Grade Spiritual Treasure, tossed it into the sky where it unfurled like aqueous waves spreading out, covering a few hundred miles around him, and prepared to block any potential World-Ending Heavenly Tribulation strikes.
Beneath the Hardwood Plains.
“Predecessor, why refuse me?”
“As someone who can become a Saint, my mindset is surely top-notch. Give me your heritage, let me further my advancement, and bring benefit to the common people of Shenzhou Continent, would that not be wonderful?”
The projection of the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint patiently explained.
“`
But, the skull of the Ancient Holy God suddenly exploded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A horrifying World-Ending Heavenly Calamity struck, a ten-meter-diameter golden spherical lightning bolt that tore through the void and struck directly onto the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint’s projection, causing it to dissipate.
Millions of miles away.
Jiaoyang Realm.
“Damn it, the World-Ending Heavenly Calamity has struck me again!” The physical body of the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint furiously slapped the armrest, causing a fearsome sun-like apparition to rise behind him, terrifying all beings within the realm.
“Great Ancestor, why are you angry?”
A childish voice came from beside him.
The Jiaoyang Ancient Saint looked down at a little girl with powdered cheek and pigtails, and with a sigh, said, “Ancestor’s projection was scattered by an old stubborn fool.”
“Who is so fierce? Hmph! When Little Wenwen grows up, she’ll beat up that old stubborn fool for Ancestor!”
The little girl waved her small fists, her actions brimming with spirit.
The Jiaoyang Ancient Saint reached out his hand and ruffled the little girl’s head, his eyes full of approval as he said softly,
“That old stubborn fool is a Holy God, not even I am his match. You, although you were born with extraordinary signs and an exceptional foundation, might not necessarily reach his heights.”
“I will work hard, I can definitely do it!”
The little girl clenched her fists, full of fighting spirit.
“Good, good, good!” The Jiaoyang Ancient Saint was very happy, thinking that with such a gifted descendent, he could rest assured that there was a successor.
Unfortunately, it was a girl.
If it were a boy, that would have been better.
…
Misty Sect.
Ye Feng had witnessed the process of the spherical lightning fading away, his eyes full of surprise. Looking up, he noticed that the tribulation clouds in the sky were disappearing.
But, there was still a considerable amount of Heavenly Tribulation remaining.
“Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella, collect for me!”
Ye Feng flicked his finger, and the umbrella began to devour the remaining Heavenly Tribulation, with special patterns appearing on its surface growing increasingly resplendent, like a sun hanging high in the sky.
After a quarter of an hour.
The Heavenly Tribulation had completely dissipated.
Ye Feng put away the Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella, and found that the total energy of the World-Ending Heavenly Calamity sealed within was terrifying. If released all at once, it could even kill a Half-step Void Break.
“Not bad at all!”
He smiled slightly, “I’ll keep it. If an enemy invades, I’ll use the World-Ending Heavenly Calamity to strike them dead!”
“Sect Leader!”
Just then, Hu Feifei suddenly leaped out from the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, her eyes fixed on the Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella, licking her lips.
She seemed as if she wanted to devour the entire umbrella.
“That lightning inside looks so tasty!” Hu Feifei grabbed Ye Feng’s arm with her soft hand, shaking it continuously, “Give it to me, I want it!”
“Can’t you be less… flirty…”
Ye Feng’s mouth twitched.
Fortunately, there were no others around. If someone heard Hu Feifei’s words, they would surely misunderstand.
“Give it to me, I want it!”
Hu Feifei’s face was filled with pleading, her eyes shimmering with a pink glow, giving her a pitiable look.
“Alright, alright, it’s all yours.” Ye Feng tossed the Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella to Hu Feifei, letting her absorb it however she wanted.
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 40%]
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 55%]
…
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 98%]
In no time, Hu Feifei had absorbed energy to the point of 98%, causing Ye Feng’s eyes to widen.
Just another 2% of energy, and she could advance to Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure. By then, upon entering her Fourth Combat Form, she could likely beat down a Half-step Void Break.
“Is the World-Ending Heavenly Calamity that powerful?”
Even Ye Feng hadn’t expected this.
Had he known, he would have absorbed more of the World-Ending Heavenly Calamity; maybe then, Hu Feifei could have upgraded already.
“Ah, what a missed opportunity!”
Ye Feng scratched his head, looking regretful.
If possible, Ye Feng really wished he could turn back time by an hour, giving him enough time to absorb the World-Ending Heavenly Calamity.
Unfortunately, a missed chance was missed.
He retrieved the energy-depleted Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella and eyed Hu Feifei, who was still licking her lips, and suddenly had an idea.
“Princess, let’s go, I’ll take you for an upgrade.”
Ye Feng grabbed Hu Feifei’s hand and stood on the teleportation array at the peak’s summit. They turned into a beam of white light and vanished quickly.
