Within the Xuanhuang Great Chiliocosm, there were a total of seven Saints. There were the Dao Patriarch, Yin Yang Saint Lord, Five Elemental Saint Lord, Creation Saint Lord, Reincarnation Saint Lord, Verdant Sky Saint Lord and the Inversion Saint Lord.
In fact, when Jiang Ming rescued the Verdant Emperor and killed the White Emperor as well as other experts, he had already alerted many Saint Lords. They were just furtively observing.
It was a norm for those Saint Lords not to be the first to show up. It didn’t matter if the killer was of mysterious origins or if he was slaughtering the Quasi-Sages. Of course, they wouldn’t be fazed when these Quasi-Sage, who were killed, weren’t of their lineage. Even if they were, they wouldn’t feel fave either.
Example was the Five Elemental Saint Lord, who was forced to show up only when his sect was about to be completely wiped out.
In fact, the real reason why he showed up was because of the disappearance of the Twelve-Graded Green Lotus. Even he himself couldn’t sense the Saint Weapon’s presence, which was how he knew that things had gone terribly wrong.
He learned that this invader was not here to vent his anger at all, but to fight to the last gasp here. Sure enough, this outsider was going to strike him down without much words.
‘Haha! This is my chiliocosm, my territory! To think that a foreign mutt like you still dares to bare your fangs here? Today, I’ll kill you, suppress your Saint physique, and exterminate your Saint Soul! Even if you have an imprint back in the core of your original chiliocosm, I’ll make sure you won’t be able to recover for billions of years!’
A treasured tree appeared above the Five Elemental Saint Lord’s head. Hanging down from the tree were tens of thousands of threads. These were actually the chains of order, the luminance of the Heavenly Dao, protecting him in the middle.
This treasured tree was actually his true body, a Five Elemental Pine Needle Tree. It was of the supreme-graded Innate Spiritual root. Upon stepping onto the path of Dao, it had stripped off from its original body and was refined into a treasure for defense and protection.
At the same time, a horsetail duster could be seen appearing in his hand as well. This was merely a Demi-Sage Weapon that contained the Dao Fluctuations of the Saints. It was a pity that the weapon had not completely sublimated and was still a little lacking.
“That’s the way to do it!” Seeing his opponent’s aura sky-rocketing, Jiang Ming couldn’t help but smile as he bellowed, “Try this slash of mine! Great Destructive Technique!”
The Three Thousand Laws technique was a technique he had been comprehending without fail. The Great Destructive Technique was not just the Law of Destruction but a fusion of Law of Devastation, Law of Death, Laws of Ruin, Art of Withering, Power of Decay, Wonders of Dissolution, Mystery of Power, Shackles of Space and so on.
This allowed the Great Destructive Technique’s capability to reach an extreme realm. When it was evoked through the power of Saints, embodied with the Saint Weapon Golden Obsidian as the carrier, Jiang Ming struck an ultimate blow towards the Saint Lord.
“Great special ability!” The Five Elemental Saint Lord exclaimed in admiration. With a wave of his hand, the duster emitted tens of thousands rays of light composed of five different colors. The lights drew on the five elemental origins between the heavens and earth, forming a curtain of light in front of his body.
Although it was immediately shattered, the curtain of light blocked off the slash.
“The Second Form of the Great Destructive Technique, Third Form …”
Jiang Ming’s eyes suddenly lit up as he turned his blade over, darting forward. The luminance of the blade formed a barrage of slashes. In the snap of a finger, Jiang Ming had slashed 81 times altogether. But because the blades were so fast, it was as if the whole attack was just a single slash.
“Five Elemental Cycle! Great Dao within!”
The Five Elemental Saint Lord quickly waved his duster, and the Five Elemental Pine Needle Tree that was already high above his head also blossomed with immortal luminance, incorporating streams of Dao energy into it. This caused the potency of his special ability to soar, surprisingly blocking the attack.
“You have the Saint’s power in your body, but you don’t have the Saint Dao Fruit. This is indeed very strange, weird, and unbelievable!” The Five Elemental Saint Lord had already discovered what was bizarre about Jiang Ming.
The strength of the special abilities that he had evoked clearly had the quality of the Saint’s power. Or rather, it was purer and more powerful. However, the Dao Fluctuation that was radiating from his body was not even of the Quasi-Sage, let alone the Saint Realm. The subtlety of his special abilities were merely fusions of the Great Overarching Laws. It was really weird indeed.
“If I had really mastered the Saint Dao Fruit, I could’ve cleaved you in one swift slash already!” Jiang Ming snorted coldly. His attacks however, did not stop in the slightest.
What Jiang Ming said was true. If he manages to master the Saint Fruit Dao, his inner world would have at least evolved into the level of the great chiliocosm already. With such power by then, putting special abilities aside, he would be able to forcefully suppress the Five Elemental Saint Lord by just using his World Projection.
In fact, Jiang Ming’s shortcomings were very obvious now. He only had the powers of a Saint, but did not possess the Dao of a Saint. He could only rely on supreme strength, Saint Weapons and the fusion of different special abilities.
Nevertheless, the Five Elemental Saint Lord, his opponent, also had Saint Weapons, and Saint’s power, even though the Five Elemental Saint Lord Saint’s Saint’s power was slightly weaker and limited than Jiang Ming.
As for the special abilities, the Five Elemental Saint Lord must have mastered the Saint Laws, whereas Jiang Ming could only evoke Great Overarching Laws and constantly improve his special abilities through the wonders of fusion, forcibly increasing the mights of his special abilities up to the Saint Daos.
All in all, he was no stronger than his opponent if he didn’t evoke the techniques of Soul Dao.
“That’s it?” The Five Elemental Saint Lord snorted coldly. He channeled the powers of the origin and the laws of the Heavenly Dao, forming a Five Elemental Great Revolution, deflecting the attack in its entirety, “To think that you were thinking of slaughtering Saints! Heh! I don’t know where you got the courage to do so. Do you really think that by having the Saint’s power, special abilities of the Saint Daos and Saint Weapons, you will be able to do whatever you want and lawlessly take control of anything and everything? Kid, you’ve met your maker this time.”
The Saint Lord had changed from being cautious to feeling contempt.
“Is that so?” Jiang Ming was not annoyed in the slightest, and with a twist of his blade, he cast the Heavenly Battle Nine Decimations, the terminating 36 slashes, and the 72 techniques of heaven decimation.
Each special ability was so powerful and terrifying that it even caused the Five Elemental Saint Lord to be incomparably horrified. If he hadn’t been able to invoke the power of the world’s origin within the chiliocosm, he wouldn’t have been able to block the attacks.
“Tell me, where do you come from? Why did you descend to this chiliocosm and go on a killing spree?” The Five Elemental Saint Lord didn’t return the exchange. While blocking off the attacks, he couldn’t help asking questions.
“I also want to know why you Saints still stay within the great chiliocosm. Why don’t you all head into the Sea of Chaos?” Jiang Ming wondered earnestly.
When he descended into Ye Qingxian’s chiliocosm, there was only one Saint Lord who stayed back to shelter the chiliocosm. As for the Honggu Ancient world that he came from, all seven of Saint Lords had already left their chiliocosm.
However, it was different here. Even the Dao Patriarch was still around. This was obviously abnormal.
“What’s this Sea of Chaos?” The Five Elemental Saint Lord asked, looking puzzled.
Jiang Ming merely narrowed his eyes. He didn’t believe that the Five Elemental Saint Lord didn’t know about the Sea of Chaos. It was possible for Quasi-Sages not to know of that place. However, a Saint not knowing about the place was a little outrageous.
While attacking vigorously, Jiang Ming called up the Human Path Record to check on the Five Elemental Saint Lord’s ‘Status’.
Great guy. This person was actually lying with his eyes wide open.
Name: Five Elemental Pine Needle.
Status:…
:Good lord! This person actually knows about the Sea of Chaos as well. He should, actually.
: Alas, the Sea of Chaos. Why would I not think of going there? Heading towards the Sea of Chaos would definitely improve my cultivation a lot faster. However, it is insignificant when compared to the great fortune over here.
: Who would’ve thought that there is a hidden treasure over on the side of our chiliocosm. Even the Dao Patriarch didn’t dare to forcibly barge in for the treasure with his current cultivation realm. The formation inside is beyond our imagination. Even Saints such as myself don’t understand the formation there.
: However, according to the speculations of the Dao Patriarch, this array formation has its cycle. Once it reaches the cycle node, it will be correspondingly weakened by a lot. That will be the best time frame for us to enter.
: The Dao Patriarch also speculated that there must be techniques far stronger than Saints, coupled with supreme treasures and supreme spiritual objects of Chaos.
: If I manage to get my hands on the Five Elemental Chaos Spiritual Roots and integrate it into myself, I’ll definitely manage to take another step forward in my cultivation realm. By then, my cultivation would reap twice as much success with half the effort and even have the opportunity to surpass the Saint Realm.
Jiang Ming was greatly stirred. ‘There is actually a hidden supreme formation that makes even the Dao Patriarch powerless to it? This is interesting. Hehe! Really interesting indeed.’
