Chapter 209: Saint's Alarm, the Hour Approaches (4700 words)
The group prepared to leave this place.
Wang Xiu's gaze suddenly fell on the huge stone walls.
These stone walls used to be the carriers of divine and demonic murals. They were massive in size and had existed for endless years. Now, the murals had disappeared, and the spiritual energy within them had dissipated. These stone walls seemed to have lost all divinity.
They were dull and lacked any luster.
Furthermore, they were crumbling and falling apart from time to time.
They were no different from ordinary rocks.
But in Wang Xiu's perception, these rocks had a special material and were not ordinary.
"Take them for research. Perhaps they have other uses..." Wang Xiu stepped forward, the dragon scales hanging from his chest glowing. The void distorted, and the entire stone forest in front of him was instantly enveloped within it.
The others were astonished at the sight.
Such a vast stone forest, when combined, was almost like a group of peaks. What kind of Law Treasure could contain such a huge space?
"The Three Purities Immortal Gate is truly extraordinary. They have bestowed such a special Law Treasure upon Senior Brother Wang Xiu!" The geniuses marveled.
Such a Law Treasure couldn't possibly be just a simple storage item. It might even rival a Saint Weapon.
They were almost certain that Wang Xiu was the deepest hidden trump card and genius of the Three Purities Immortal Gate. He had never boasted about it before, only to display his prowess in this trial of the Ancient Saint Academy and reveal his true abilities.
It was certain that the ancestors of the sect had bestowed him with a large number of treasures for protection.
"Senior Brother, why are you taking those broken stones?" Ji Zidian blinked her big eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. In her eyes, those stones were dull and lacked any spirituality. They had lost the power of the divine and demonic murals and were no better than ordinary rocks.
The others also looked puzzled.
"It's nothing. I just feel that it's a pity to leave behind something that used to be the carrier of divine and demonic murals!" Wang Xiu smiled and didn't explain further.
The others didn't continue to ask.
They quickly left this place and looked back from a distance. It was empty, causing them to sigh.
Who could have imagined that the remnants of the famous divine and demonic murals in the Void Ancient Road had completely disappeared, and the core opportunity had been discovered by someone.
It was truly regrettable.
Meanwhile, in the Holy Realm, in the city of Xinhuo.
In the center, within the majestic divine mountain, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Chaotic mist surged, and unimaginable divine lights turned into the shadows of divine beasts, wandering in the surrounding void.
Several vague and majestic shadows appeared.
They communicated with each other.
"How is the situation over there?"
"There hasn't been any movement yet, but it should be soon!"
"What about Gu Hong?"
"He has already entered the Abyss Battlefield. The last contact was half an hour ago!"
"What about the package?"
"We can take action at any time!"
The voices were deep and heavy, making people's hearts tremble like drums.
After a long silence, a slightly relaxed voice sounded, "I heard that this time... the divine and demonic murals have appeared!"
"Yes, Gu Hong was the first to discover it. It is said that he comprehended eighty-one divine and demonic murals in less than twenty days!"
"Good, good..." an ancient voice sighed. In the darkness, eyes lit up with satisfaction. "Darkness is approaching, and with someone like him, light can still exist!"
"A great era is coming. There are many seeds in this generation, and now there are divine and demonic murals. I think the situation they will face will be much better than what we faced back then!"
"Yes, with an opportunity like the divine and demonic murals, it may not appear again for thousands of years... After this time, who knows when we will see it again?"
"Stop thinking about it. We definitely won't see it again!"
At this moment, a hearty voice sounded, and the void tore open. Three Purities Saint Zhang Yunting walked out slowly, adjusting his clothes as he walked. His face was rosy, and he looked refreshed.
When the other saints saw him, their faces turned displeased, and their voices rolled like thunder, shaking the chaotic void. "Zhang Lunatic, what do you mean by this? Are you cursing us?"
Zhang Yunting laughed heartily and waved his hand, throwing out a page of a letter. He proudly said, "Take a closer look at the latest information!"
The saints were skeptical and checked one by one.
Then, the void trembled violently, lightning filled the sky, divine fire covered the nine heavens, and endless darkness was instantly covered by light. All the fierce beasts in the world trembled and feared.
"What? The divine and demonic murals have disappeared?"
"Someone has comprehended the core secrets of the divine and demonic murals, and the spiritual energy of the murals has disappeared, turning into ordinary objects?"
"Disciple Wang Xiu of the Three Purities, within a single day, comprehended one hundred and eight divine and demonic murals, causing resonance in the Stone Forest, with an overwhelming phenomenon and endless blessings descending, assisting all the geniuses present to achieve enlightenment in Divine Ability?"
"How is this possible?"
"..."
The saints were extremely excited, astonished, and incredulous.
They were all once renowned geniuses in the cultivation world, otherwise they would not have been able to attain saintliness.
Naturally, some of them had witnessed the divine and demonic murals, comprehended them, and gained considerable opportunities.
The more they experienced, the more they understood the difficulty involved.
The divine and demonic murals were not ordinary objects; they were left behind by the Almighty powerhouses of ancient times, containing unimaginable legacies, and their appearance in the Void Ancient Road was purely coincidental...
According to the rules of the saint realm, only beings under a hundred years old could enter, which almost meant...
The opportunities within the divine and demonic murals could never be completely comprehended.
Because geniuses under a hundred years old, unless they were pure-blooded divine descendants or young deities, they did not possess the ability to venture deep into the mural's Spiritual Secret Realm.
This was an impasse that even their sky-reaching cultivation could not solve.
Now, how could it be broken by a young brat in his early twenties from the Three Purities Immortal Gate?
"Wang Xiu... This name sounds somewhat familiar."
"Hmph, how could it not sound familiar? That brat who surpasses everyone, freely acting in the ancient dense forest, plundering countless heavenly treasures and earthly treasures!" Longhu Saint, Yun Wuxin, coldly snorted, his eyes filled with anger.
He seemed to have never had a good impression of the Three Purities. Hearing that a disciple of the Three Purities was amazing was more unbearable than killing him.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that his proud Longhu contemporary Saint Child actually shamelessly worshipped Wang Xiu as his big brother.
When he first heard this news, he almost exploded on the spot.
The saints immediately realized, suddenly enlightened, and then countless clouds surged in the boundless void, like a dragon sucking water, causing the temperature between heaven and earth to plummet.
The existence of Saint Manifestation level gasped in astonishment, the effect was indeed remarkable.
"This Wang Xiu is indeed extraordinary, is he the trump card of the Three Purities?"
"I didn't expect that the Three Purities, after declining for a thousand years, would actually have the potential to rise again?"
"Rise? That's an understatement. Even during the peak of the Three Purities, there was no genius who could compare to him..."
The saints did not hesitate to praise, and some even went to Zhang Yunting, showering him with various praises and compliments.
Shu Mountain Saint Tao Fan is covered in holy light, with an ethereal aura and a feather duster in hand. He walks lightly and smiles, saying, "Congratulations, Brother Zhang. The Three Purities has produced another Qilin Child. It won't be long before you return to the pinnacle of the Immortal Alliance. Who knows... maybe even surpassing the past!"
Zhang Yunting laughs heartily.
"What Qilin Child? He's just a bandit..." Yun Wuxin sneers coldly. "In the ancient dense forest, how many treasures did he plunder alone? Wherever he went, not a blade of grass would grow, and even a bird flying overhead would leave behind thousands of kilograms of feathers! Now that he's entered the Void Ancient Road, he's become even more exaggerated. With such an opportunity as the Divine Demon Mural, it could have brought blessings for generations, but now it's completely gone. There will never be another genius like him in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunting's face darkens, and he suddenly remembers something, his lips curling up slightly. "Yun, I know you're jealous, but there's no need to be so bitter! The Saint Child of your Dragon Tiger, his vision is better than yours. He is the sworn brother of our Wang Xiu!"
"This child Wang Xiu is gentle, friendly, and generous towards others, especially those around him. He is truly exceptional! As long as he has enough to eat, your Saint Child will never go hungry!"
As soon as these words are spoken, Yun Wuxin explodes completely.
Veins pop on his forehead, lightning surges around his body, runes fill the sky, reaching the heavens.
"Want to fight? I'm not afraid of you!" Zhang Yunting coldly snorts, taking a step forward. His whole body is enveloped in golden light, dazzling like the sun.
"Enough!"
Just then, an incredibly ancient voice resonates from deep within the hall, like heavenly music. Instantly, countless strands of colorful light burst forth from the misty chaos, auspicious energy fills the air, and celestial figures appear.
All the saints are awestruck, bowing in reverence towards the depths of the hall.
Even Zhang Yunting restrains his aura and nods in acknowledgment towards the depths of the hall.
The radiance surges, transforming into a seven-colored illusion, its appearance indistinct. At first glance, it looks like a young man, then like an old man in the blink of an eye, and then like a young girl.
"Sage!"
All the saints bow, showing respect as juniors.
"The time is approaching!" The Sage passes by everyone, walking outside the hall, looking at the boundless mist and radiance, with an indescribable divine light in his eyes.
As soon as these words are spoken, everyone becomes solemn and serious.
They all look up at the sky.
Their gaze penetrates the endless chaos and falls upon the dome of the void.
There, the thick celestial light that used to conceal the world's barrier, completely isolating it from the outside void, has worn away like a thin film. Vaguely, one can see the surging Heavenly Demon Qi transforming into mist, rushing towards them.
"They're going to make a move?" Tao Fan was dignified and righteous, radiating an aura of immortality.
"They probably won't. The restrictions won't reach their weakest point for another month!" Zhang Yunting frowned.
"Get ready!" The sage didn't say much, waving his hand.
Everyone bowed and saluted.
Among the crowd, Yun Wuxin lowered his head, his gaze shifting uncertainly. Suddenly, he felt something and looked up, only to see Tao Fan looking at him not far away.
...
A few days later.
In the ancient void path.
An empty and desolate plain.
Boom!
Dozens of enormous void beasts, as large as mountains, were fiercely battling against the human elites.
They were powerful, roaring thunderously, and their every move could trample mountains and rivers.
But they were clearly at a disadvantage in the fight.
Not only because there were too many human elites on the other side, numbering in the thousands, and their magical fluctuations were like a vast ocean, overwhelming and capable of engulfing the void.
But also because these human elites were ruthless in their attacks, as if they had opened their heavenly eyes, aiming for the beasts' fatal weaknesses with every move, cunning and treacherous.
This made it difficult for the beasts to fully unleash their strength, causing them great pain.
"Kill!"
"Hit its weak spot, Senior Brother Wang Xiu said it's the fatal weakness of that void brute!"
"Watch my Demon Suppression Fist!"
"Make way, I have a piece of extraterrestrial sand obtained from the ancient path, it has powerful corrosive properties that can threaten the void beasts!"
"You guys can't do it, you have to see my Electric Dragon Drill!"
"..."
In an instant, hundreds and thousands of terrifying spells filled the sky, bombarding the back of the void brute.
These elites used all kinds of Law Treasures and Divine Abilities without holding back.
They directly blasted a huge hole in the back of the void brute, which let out a miserable howl, fell to the ground, convulsing and spitting out shards of crystal, its eyes rolling back.
The remaining energy continued to corrode and disintegrate the body of the void brute.
"It exploded!"
"There's a crystal core!"
"We'll divide it later, let's kill the others first!"
"..."
The elites were filled with enthusiasm, all focusing on the next target and rushing forward.
Once again, a series of tragic scenes unfolded.
"I never imagined that hunting void beasts could be so easy..."
From a high place, Chu You looked down at the scene below, her beautiful eyes filled with emotion.
She had seen similar scenes too many times on this journey, but she still found it hard to believe.
"Everything in the world follows certain rules, I just observed a little more than others!" Wang Xiu said modestly.
Upon hearing this, Chu You's mouth twitched, her gaze filled with resentment.
Wasn't this statement quite discouraging?
The existence of the ancient void path was not something that happened overnight. For thousands of years, countless elites had entered the path to fight and battle against the void beasts.
It's not that no one speculated that the physical structure of the void beasts had fatal flaws.
But the problem was that each void beast had a different structure, and there was no universal rule. Even the most powerful elites would find it difficult to summarize useful insights during the brief time the ancient void path was open.
The next generation of elites would still have to start from scratch when they entered.
However, Wang Xiu seemed to have opened his heavenly eyes and could easily discern the fatal weaknesses on each void beast.
The elites followed Wang Xiu's instructions.
The efficiency of killing void beasts was terrifyingly high.
It was like a locust swarm, rushing forward and annihilating dozens of void beasts in an instant.
On the side,
Li Xuanqi remained silent, covering her mouth as she chuckled softly.
What is this?
During the days when she and Wang Xiu were alone together, she had witnessed even more exaggerated methods from Wang Xiu.
Like shattering the chest of a Void Beast.
One Void Beast went crazy and rammed into Wang Xiu, but Wang Xiu was unharmed and instead shattered the Void Beast himself.
Since that day, Li Xuanqi knew that Wang Xiu's physical strength was astonishing, like that of a human-shaped fierce beast.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't possess a trace of Monster Qi.
She would have suspected that he was a human-shaped pure-blooded fierce beast or divine beast.
She looked at the Wang Xiu beside her, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration.
The mysteries surrounding this young man were too numerous to count.
Every time she thought she had enough understanding of Wang Xiu.
He would always come up with new tricks that left her dazzled and infatuated.
...
All the geniuses were excited and full of fighting spirit.
The deeper they went into the Void Ancient Road, the stronger the Void energy became, and the strength of the born Void Beasts became more terrifying. Even regular Void Beasts would greatly increase in strength.
The Void Crystal Core within their bodies would also become larger, containing more abundant energy and higher value.
Of course, there would also be more high-level Void Beasts and King-level Void Beasts here.
Normally speaking.
Even if the geniuses from the major Immortal Gates formed teams to hunt Void Beasts on this land, their efficiency would not be particularly high.
But now, as they swept through, they encountered almost no obstacles.
Chasing and killing Void Beasts.
Killing one group after another, killing one nest after another.
Originally, with so many people in a team, even if there were spoils of war, it wouldn't be enough to go around. But now it was different, because of the high efficiency, almost everyone had gains.
"Hahaha, today I have slain ten Void Beasts again, so satisfying..."
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging nearby, congratulations to the host for gaining +99 mana!]
"Cut the crap, you only killed at least eight of them with a fatal blow from me, you just finished them off!"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging nearby, congratulations to the host for gaining +99 mana!]
"You two, stop bragging. If it weren't for me clearing the way in front, could you guys output so comfortably? In my opinion, these achievements should all be credited to me..."
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging nearby, congratulations to the host for gaining +88 mana!]
"I used to think these Void Beasts were so powerful, but now... as long as you find their weaknesses, they can be easily suppressed with a snap of your fingers, right?"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging nearby, congratulations to the host for gaining +123 mana!]
"You say it so lightly, if it weren't for Senior Brother Wang Xiu, you would have been crushed to death by that Void Beast and wouldn't have found its weakness..."
"..."
Soon, the Void Beasts in this area were completely cleared.
The geniuses divided the spoils of war contentedly, while chatting and joking.
Wang Xiu sat high up, watching this scene, listening to the system prompts in his ears, and couldn't help but smile.
His mana was becoming more and more complete.
The speed of his cultivation advancement was a bit frightening!
"Wang Xiu Senior Brother's vision is indeed broad. With so many Void Beasts, he only lets the junior brothers below share, without taking any for himself..."
Ji Zidian sat beside him, supporting her chin with both hands, her beautiful eyes blinking, small stars twinkling in her eyes as she looked at the genuine smile on Wang Xiu's face.
...
The group set off again.
On this day.
The scene before them made nearly ten thousand geniuses stop in their tracks.
They felt a chill down their spines, their hearts trembling.
