Chapter 1301 – Battle of Saint Slaying (Final)

The instant the Sea of Bitterness came down, the Killing Great Dao and the flood of darkness experienced a jolt. The Great Dao ran through the Sea of Bitterness and held up the path to the heavens where the other shore was. Strictly speaking, the Sea of Bitterness and the Great Dao were in opposite camps. They could only coexist if their auras did not entangle together.

Therefore, when the Sea of Bitterness descended, the two True Saints’ Great Dao had been shaken without any other triggers.

The Vast Brightness World had numerous Saints but only one Sea of Bitterness that never dried out even after so many years. There was never a True Saint’s Great Dao that could shake the Sea of Bitterness. Not to mention harming it, it would be a miracle if a Great Dao could touch the Sea of Bitterness without being destroyed!

This was why Half-Saints still received respect and honor in the Vast Brightness World.

The Nether Saint shouted in anger from within the blood furnace, “That was not from me!” His eyes were stern as he looked at the sea of blackness. Thousand Saint shared similar thoughts. But he did not think that Qin Yu could use the Heaven and Earth Resonance.

In the darkness, a cold voice roared, “It isn’t me!”

The cultivators remained expressionless but a voice came from the Sea of Bitterness, “We are not holding it against True Saints. However, we have no choice but to ally together and protect ourselves under such circumstances. Please understand.”

Although they spoke politely, they wanted to ally together to fight for the price. They could not speak so directly. Cultivators still had to maintain a facade and it was alright as long as the other party knew their intentions.

The Nether Saint scoffed coldly but did not say anything. The Sea of Bitterness was a threatening existence for a True Saint. He could not understand what Thousand Saint was doing. Why would he purposely lure the cultivators into the battle? Was he trying to pollute the water and create an opportunity for himself? Why was he this confident? Did he have a hidden card? As the Nether Saint thought about this, his eyes turned cold!

Thousand Saint wore a cold expression and his eyes were pitch black, looking like the endless starry sky at night. The Nether Saint, what a Saint. It was so obvious that he was trying to scheme here and drag him down.

What did he want to do? It was a messy situation. He was a True Saint from the shore but he was blinded by the mist. An uneasy feeling rushed through his heart and his expression stiffened. He was on guard and he became extra cautious.

Something seemed wrong today. Something major might happen!

Qin Yu never knew that he would lure all the Saints to enter the battle and cause the two True Saints to become suspicious of each other.

That’s right, the Heaven and Earth Resonance and the space vibration that killed the cultivators previously came from him. More accurately, it came from the powers of the innate spirit within Qin Yu’s body!

A matured innate spirit that had passed away many years ago had immeasurable strength and resources within it. It had sustained the Lost Garden for so long. Normally, even if an innate spirit’s strength could recover by itself, it would only be about thirty to forty percent of what it was originally.

However, this corpse had given birth to a corpse spirit. It could not prevent having its power drained by the Lost Garden but it could use its consciousness to heal itself. There was a difference between passive recovery and consciously absorbing the world’s energy. This also meant that when Qin Yu absorbed the corpse of the innate spirit, he had absorbed almost all of the power in its complete state.

Because of this huge amount of power, there was still some leftover even after the Rule System Body was perfected. As such, before the corpse spirit left helplessly, it mentioned that a small portion of its power had been taken away. A small portion, even if it was just twenty to thirty percent, was still a sizable amount considering how much power was stored in the innate spirit.

This power was stored in Qin Yu’s body. After the Rule System Body was repaired, he could still give one last breath to sustain the Lost Garden’s existence.

After all, if all the power was sucked dry, the Lost Garden would crumble apart. Elder apprentice brother, seventh senior-apprentice sister and even White Phoenix’s safety were a point of concern. The events here would attract the attention from people of the Vast Brightness World and Rulers might even descend. As such, Qin Yu still thought that it would be best to hide the innate spirit’s existence.

Cough cough, too much nonsense has been spoken. Regardless, there was still a lot of power absorbed from the innate spirit that had not been refined yet. Qin Yu was not in a hurry to refine it yet because he wanted to use it as a hidden card in a critical moment.

Who knew that he would meet two True Saints the moment he left the Lost Garden. If he wanted to escape and be victorious, he had to use the innate spirit energy for power.

That was why Qin Yu could roll up the galaxy and turn it into a long star stick. The Abyssal Titan could shake the Nether Saint’s killing intent. Similarly, he dared to keep the hidden Saint by the side and focus on the persimmon.

After the Light and Dark Body that Qin Yu had was refined into the Rule System Body, his darkness could not compare to the hidden Saint’s, but it could decrease the dangers by roughly twenty percent. As for the remaining thirty percent of darkness that the hidden Saint mentioned, Qin Yu had thrown the other seventy percent away.

Burning the innate spirit energy created a feeling that was similar to when he merged with the heavens and earth. However, it was much weaker than before. He realized that he could divert the impacts of his enemies’ attacks to the world.

Originally this was an accidental move, but Qin Yu had been ecstatic and he did not bother thinking twice before throwing aside the enemy attacks. He did not even know what Heaven and Earth Resonance was and he did not know how to manipulate it. It just so happened that cultivators were sucked into it by bad luck due to their positions.

However, Qin Yu would not mention this. Furthermore, he realized that when the other Saints entered the battle and called forth the Sea of Bitterness, the pressure on him decreased a bit. The Killing Great Dao and Darkness Great Dao had both sustained some pressure but the Sea of Bitterness had no effect on him. Hence, this was a good thing.

In the darkness, the Abyssal Titan roared and amassed a huge ball of innate spirit energy in him. It combusted and turned into a burst of energy for him. The long star stick in his hand burst with light and smashed out heavily.

Thousand Saint grunted and frustration crossed his face. He realized that he was actually more surprised than he thought.

This was because when the Abyssal Titan smashed out from the darkness, he realized that his own Dark Origin had suffered.

Thousand Saint’s Dark Origin was similar to the Nether Saint’s dead illusion and it was part of his Darkness Great Dao. How could this not be a surprise? Qin Yu could actually deplete a True Saint’s Great Dao. If he did not see this for himself, he would not believe it!

Not wasting another second, the Abyssal Titan roared and unleashed a second strike. This was another strike that consumed innate spirit energy. However, it was fine to consume round after round of energy. He still had a lot of energy left and it could last him a few days.

Thousand Saint’s eyebrows twitched as he felt the immense power wafting off the Abyssal Titan. Even after being submerged in darkness, the Abyssal Titan was not weakened and he seemed to have grown stronger.

If this continued, before Thousand Saint could refine Qin Yu and kill him through the darkness, his Great Dao would be broken. What on earth was this lad hiding? He suddenly felt that he had made a mistake participating in this battle.

Bam!

The third blow struck.

Thousand Saint’s lips twitched. Without waiting further, he retracted the darkness and allowed the Abyssal Titan out. Nonsense, if he continued to trap the Abyssal Titan inside, he would not be killing someone, but would be voluntarily giving his own life away!

The Abyssal Titan emerged and lifted his head to stare at the burning Killing Great Dao above. In the next instant, he roared as he pounced to the sky.

Thousand Saint, this bastard!

It was him indeed. What was this bastard doing? He actually released Qin Yu.

A deep sense of uneasiness filled the Nether Saint and he looked at the Abyssal Titan who was flying rapidly towards him. It was too late to do anything and he could only block the blow.

Boom –

Killing Great Dao collided against the long star stick. The sharp cracking sound that came next shook the bottom of his heart.

He felt his chest clench and his face grew pale. It was not just because of the damage sustained. It seemed like the power of the long star stick grew stronger and stronger with each blow!

Has he been tricked? However, what right did Thousand Saint have to scheme against him? Otherwise, did he have other tricks up his sleeve?

The Nether Saint knew that he had to leave. There was a great crack in his Great Dao and this was dangerous for him. After all, the Great Dao was absolutely essential for a Saint and if it was destroyed, he would lose his life!

Thousand Saint!

Just wait, this does not end today. We will settle our scores in the future.

Also, Qin Yu, I will not give up. You are lucky to escape this time, but I will ally with other True Saints even if I lose out on the overall benefits.

The full power of an innate spirit is not something a mere young child like you should have for yourself!

Shoosh –

The blood furnace in the sky disappeared together with the Killing Great Dao. The Nether Saint did not think twice before leaving.

When things ended, the news of Qin Yu fighting against two True Saints and chasing them away would shock the entire Vast Brightness World. People would wonder and marvel at this extraordinary cultivator.

But this was a Battle of Saint Slaying, was he going to let the persimmon off so easily? Furthermore, this persimmon very likely knew about the innate spirit.

Whether it was to cut off loose ends or to ensure peace in the future, there was no reason to let the Nether Saint off. More importantly, Qin Yu realized that he had underestimated his own strength. This was especially so with regard to the innate spirit powers.

True Saints were nothing!

Confidence was key and that was why he was willing to make the bold move of keeping the Nether Saint here.

However, the Nether Saint was determined to go and keeping him here would be a very difficult thing. Although Qin Yu was very confident now, he did not think that he would be able to execute this.

Thankfully, he was not the only person here today.

The Spring Master was engaged in battle with the Scholartree Saint in the Battle from the shore. It was too quiet, too quiet to the point that people could forget about it.

The Abyssal Titan clutched his first and the space in front of him cracked, trapping the Nether Saint in it quickly.

At the same time, there was a loud roar and thunder clapped through the sky, “Master!”

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded and a figure flew out through a blurry figure. The Battle of the Shore broke and the Spring Master stepped out. His clothes were torn at his chest and there was a bloodstain near his lips. His eyes were calm but as chilling as an eternal cold. There wasn’t the slightest fluctuation in them.

“Nether Saint!”

He roared in a low tone. And the world shook. A shadow of a peach tree suddenly descended. A thick branch fell off and the single peach blossom on it suddenly blossomed. It was like a big mouth that went straight for the Nether Saint to swallow him.

“Peach!” The Nether Saint’s expression changed and blood light poured out from his body. “Spring Master, don’t bully others. Are you really not going to let it go until I die?”

The Spring Master remained expressionless and he merged into the Peach Wood illusion.

“Are you guys forcing me? You guys are forcing me!” the Nether Saint suddenly roared madly and the rays of blood light burst forth from his body and turned into an entire Sea of Blood. Numerous pitiful cries emerged as many illusions appeared within the rays of blood.

Every illusion was a living creature that had died at the Nether Saint’s hands. His method of killing and refining his Great Dao through the dead was because those murdered by him could not go in peace. They were forced into his Great Dao and they formed his strength.

The Spring Master grunted, “Qin Yu!”

Although the Nether Saint did not know how strong the peach blossom was, he knew that this thing could take his life.

Without thinking twice, the moment he heard the Spring Master’s call, Qin Yu pointed and said, “Stop!”

Bam –

At that point, all the innate spirit strength in his body burned madly and he consumed more than a dozen balls of energy. This was not a problem. A dozen balls of energy was nothing. If he could kill the Nether Saint, using a hundred or even a thousand balls was worth it!

Peach Blossom Spring was going to slay Saints today. They would slaughter True Saints from the shore and shock the Vast Brightness World. After so many years of calm, silence and being bullied, Peach Blossom Spring was going to show who was boss! Everyone would cry in their sight and beg them!

The blood-colored light that burst from the Nether Saint’s body suddenly stopped and his eyes bulged wide open in disbelief. “Time Rules! No…”

In the killing of a True Saint, a small gap was a big difference. When time energy descended, it stopped the Nether Saint for a second. This second was enough for the Spring Master.

With a whistling sound, the peach flower swallowed the Nether Saint. Through the covered petals, the Nether Saint’s cries could be heard.

The peach flower swallowed the Saint and closed up. It withered and then turned to dust.

As it disappeared, so did the Nether Saint. The petals turned to dust and blood rays of light burst forth. Like a volcano erupting, many blood-colored jade stones were spurted out in all directions.

The Abyssal Titan reached out and grabbed the biggest piece. Turning his palm over, he shouted, “A True Saint has died and his Great Dao has crumbled. These shards here are compensation from Peach Blossom Spring for the Saints here. We will not have anything against each other!”
