If it could be said that any Guardian King would be able to wipe out a country with great ease, then having ten Guardian Kings appearing together in a place outside the Church of Universal Truth was enough to shake the entire land. Something like this rarely happened in the course of history.
Right now, with the three Saints appearing in the sky above the Imperial Capital at the same time, it caused even greater astonishment to everyone present. It could be said to be a great unprecedented historical event.
The Immortality Saint, the Phenomenal Saint, and the Oceansky Saint… All three of them were truly characters situated at the very pinnacle of this land.
Even though Fang Xingjian had single-handedly killed over ten Divine level experts from the plains in succession and suppressed the Heavenly Lion King, most people still thought of him as being slightly stronger than a Guardian King. However, they would not think of him as being comparable to the three great Saints.
The three Saints were top notch characters that only the Pope would be able to suppress. However, the Pope had disappeared, and it was unknown as to whether he was still alive. Additionally, many of the Mage Kings had left the Mage Association, causing its influence to enter a decline. Consequently, the three great Saints were seen as invincible experts in countless people’s hearts.
In fact, majority of the people believed that if it was not because the three Saints were fighting over the Pope position, entering an internal strife throughout the years, and causing the Church of Universal Truth to be fragmented, then there would probably be no one in this land who would be able to fend off the Church of Universal Truth.
The Astral Ancestor looked at the glows in the sky with a stern expression. ‘How did things become like this? It’s unexpected that even the three Saints have put aside their differences and come together. To think that the Divine Sun Emperor’s treasures are so attractive…?’
There was no longer the previous sense of ease in the Fourth Prince’s eyes. Instead, they were now filled with great anxiety and worry. Initially, although he was worried that the situation might get out of hand easily if Fang Xingjian were to call for the Divine Treasures Meeting, he had only been expecting for the Church to send three or four Guardian Kings at most.
However, not only was a huge alligator attracted, even a dinosaur had come.
The concurrent arrival of the three Saints was something that had never occurred before.
“What should we do? If things carry on, the situation will be hard to salvage.”
The Gold Mage King and Black Mage King exchanged a glance. Their gazes were filled with a sense of deep wariness. As the Church of Universal Truth’s archenemies, the Mage Association’s Mage Kings naturally knew how strong and difficult to handle the three Saints were.
Moreover, it seemed the three of them had joined forces. Who across the entire land will be able to fend them off?
The Black Mage King looked at the white halo in the sky and sighed, communicating with the Gold Mage King through his martial will, “It’s a pity that if the three of them join forces, there’s probably no one in the world who will be able to fend them off.
“Sigh. Back in the day, our Mage Association had great power and prestige. If the Silver Mage King, Green Mage King, and the Yellow Mage King were still around, we might be on par with the three great Saints.”
The Gold Mage King frowned and replied, “It’s useless to be thinking about all these now. The three Saints’ presence is definitely not just for the sake of the Divine Sun Emperor’s treasures. We’ll need to make early preparations as well.”
The two of them exchanged a glance, and they could see the urge to retreat in each other’s eyes.
However, both of them felt very fortunate to have been prepared for the great danger today as hey had only sent their clones with 50% of their powers. Even if they were killed by the three Saints, they would only lose half of their powers. Although it would be a great loss, it would not be despairing.
The Black Mage King thought inwardly, ‘After today’s battle, the Church of Universal Truth will probably really dominate over this land. We may need to head to the Western Land as well.’
The Sea Monarch’s heart trembled. It felt as if his entire body was going to tremble incessantly as well.
‘Such power… Such majestic martial will… and those ether particle waves contained in that white light…
‘To think that the top-notch experts on this land would be so amazing?
‘Is there anyone who can be a match for them?’
Just as everyone was on tenterhooks and felt at a loss over the prowess displayed by the Church of Universal Truth, the figure in the middle of the three walked out. The white light from his body dissipated slowly, revealing his appearance.
It was a man with tightly shut eyes and an extremely cold expression like he was a gigantic iceberg. This man was the Phenomenal Saint.
The Phenomenal Saint was the one who upheld the law and specialized in dealing with traitors and heretics. He was a religious believer who was fully devoted to sensing the God of Universal Truth.
At the age of 10, he had blinded himself. Then he destroyed his ears at the age of 12 and plucked out his tongue at the age of 15. At the age of 18, he requested for a Guardian King to seal up his senses of smell and touch as well.
An existence who was still able to reach the pinnacle despite losing his five senses proved how terrifying he was.
Currently, the Phenomenal Saint was giving off an overwhelming aura. It was as if each and every one of his actions were connected with the heavens and that he himself was an embodiment of the world.
The two white light circles on his back kept on contracting and relaxing, emitting astonishing and unbelievable energies. Waves of ether particles spurted out from the light circles like they wanted to fill up the entire world. Within a short period of time, the ether particle density within the entire Imperial Capital had risen to over ten times its initial level.
Looking at the two light circles on the Phenomenal Saint’s back, the Immortality Saint’s eyes narrowed slightly as he thought, ‘When did the Phenomenal Saint get his hands on two White Emperor Zenith Swords?’
He threw a glance toward the Oceansky Saint, who was a handsome man that seemed to amass all the spiritual Qis in the world. Right now, the Oceansky Saint was looking calmly at the Phenomenal Saint.
Compared to the Phenomenal Saint’s violence and brutality, the Oceansky Saint was one whom the Immortality Saint had never been able to understand. To think that this guy had handed the White Emperor Zenith Sword over to the Phenomenal Saint… This was something that made the Immortality Saint even more puzzled.
However, the Phenomenal Saint had made a move. He looked toward the Black Mage King and Gold Mage King, sending seething white light out like a waterfall. They contained his will and transmitted out into everyone’s consciousness.
“Have all the heretics on this land gathered here today? Excellent. This will save me a lot of trouble.
“The mice from the Mage Association especially… You guys dared to come out as well?”
As he spoke, he had already tapped out his finger. Distorted space instantly turned into a spherical shape, completely wrapping up the Black Mage King and the Gold Mage King.
‘Heaven-flicking Finger!’ The Immortality Saint could not help but scream out in his heart. ‘This is an ultimate move from 24 Doctrines of Divine Retribution that only a tier six Divine level expert can perform.’
The 24 Doctrines of Divine Retribution was a classic legacy of the Church of Universal Truth’s Judgement Bureau. It recorded the Church of Universal Truth’s unrivaled martial arts and was an ultimate martial art that only the Saints in charge of the Judgement Bureau could cultivate.
With the Phenomenal Saint being able to perform the Heaven-flicking Finger which was an ultimate technique that only a tier six Divine level expert could perform, it meant that he had reached tier six of the Divine level.
‘That must be it. That must be it,’ the Immortality Saint was struck with a realization. ‘He possesses two White Emperor Zenith Sword, making for a total of 14 sections. And his strength has surged explosively. So, of course, he’d be able to clear the trial for tier six of the Divine level.’
Back then, Fang Xingjian had been able to take Ulpian head-on before the latter managed to traverse the universe with just one White Emperor Zenith Sword. That had just been seven sections of it.
Then how amazing would the Phenomenal Saint be after having obtained 14 sections of it? Moreover, he had reached tier six of the Divine level as well.
