Chapter 884: Becoming a Saint!

The thought flashed through his mind, and his right hand swiftly rose, drawing a blood-red stone from within the Purple Mansion space.

With a muffled "bang," the stone was crushed to powder, turning into a great deal of fine dust that flowed out from between his fingers.

At the same time, at the foot of the mountain, red light flared brilliantly, and countless dense tadpole-like rune characters emerged.

In the blink of an eye, they formed a pale-red, translucent hemispherical light barrier that enveloped the entire Heart Sword Mountain!

Soon, all the corpses on the mountain were automatically decomposed, turning into blood beads.

And those still-living Heart Sword Sect cultivators, gripped by infinite terror, watched helplessly as their own bodies decomposed bit by bit, becoming blood beads suspended in midair, which then shot forth and poured into their own patriarch's body.

After absorbing these blood beads, Wang Jizhou's originally deathly pale face began to turn rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His coal-black, cracked skin likewise sprouted countless flesh buds, rapidly knitting together and restoring as before.

The feeling of weakness within his body dissipated.

What replaced it was a continuous, inexhaustible stream of power!

"Hahahaha! What can the power of Lei Jie do to me?"

"Sword Saint? This old man shall set foot in that realm today!"

Wang Jizhou's wild laughter spread all around, echoing through heaven and earth!

All the watching cultivators at the foot of the mountain seemed to fall into a petrified state, eyes wide, speechless for a long time!

No one had expected that this Wang patriarch had actually laid out such a demonic method!

And Heart Sword Sect Sect Master Wang Junyi, staring at this scene, trembled uncontrollably, feeling immense terror.

"Pa... patriarch....."

He could hardly believe that the patriarch he regarded as his greatest backer had secretly set up such a vicious grand formation!

He had thought the patriarch merely had a bad temper and was moody.

Now it seemed that, to break through to Sword Saint and defeat Tian Jian, the man had fallen into utter madness!

Swallowed by obsession, completely reduced to a slave of power!

Wang Yuhuan stood dumbfounded on the spot, equally greatly surprised.

Then he felt a sudden chill run down his back.

No wonder even after he displayed his powerful talent, he still failed to catch the man's eye.

After all, to the patriarch, everyone was merely his nourishment.

If he had not agreed to Jiang Zhiwei's sword-trying sparring match, he would still be staying within the sect.

His fate today would probably be no better than these people's, would it?

Thinking of this, Wang Yuhuan suddenly felt immense relief, becoming all the more certain that his earlier choice had not been wrong!

On the Xuanfeng vessel.

Jiang Chen and the others all looked toward Jiang Beiyi, their gazes turning exceedingly strange.

As if to say, do you kid know some inside information?

And Jiang Beiyi couldn't help but feel a bit creeped out being stared at like that.

He recalled what he had just said.

"If sacrificing everyone could raise his own strength, he probably wouldn't hesitate for a moment......"

The words became a prophecy.

The development of events was indeed just as he had said.

Jiang Beiyi scratched his head: "I was just saying it casually just now. Who knew this old thing really was this ruthless—killing off all his sect disciples and his own descendants without a second thought, simply a madman!"

At these words, everyone expressed deep agreement.

Once today's deeds spread out, this Wang Jizhou will surely rank among the great overlords of the demonic path!

No madness, no survival—this man is truly terrifying beyond compare!

On the other side.

Tian Jian Ancestor's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in his pupils: "Blood God Spirit Refining Formation?"

With just one glance, he recognized the origin of this formation.

The Blood God Spirit Refining Formation, its grade reaching the peak of the Heaven Grade.

It is one of the most top-tier grand formations of the Moonlight Dynasty!

Yet although this formation is powerful, it is extremely vicious.

Its function is to refine a cultivator's flesh, elemental force, and divine soul, condensing them into "Blood God Seeds" that can be absorbed by a cultivator.

Once the Blood God Seeds are absorbed, injuries can be rapidly healed, and one's own strength can also experience a temporary surge in a short time!

If the refined target shares a blood relation with oneself, the effect of the Blood God Seeds can be doubled!

And this formation is the untransmitted method of the Blood God Cult.

"The Blood God Cult was destroyed by Wang Laogui nearly a hundred years ago. It seems that, to surpass me, he truly stopped at nothing......."

Tian Jian Ancestor's face showed understanding, and he instantly sorted out the course of events.

At the Moonlight Sword Dao Assembly a hundred years ago.

From the moment the other narrowly lost to his hand, he had constantly been chasing desperately.

But regrettably, no matter how hard he chased, it was all in vain.

Until after secretly losing to him thirty-five times, he stopped challenging.

After that came the news that the other had destroyed the Blood God Cult.

Presumably from that moment on, the other had already begun plotting to break through to Sword Saint.

Concealing it from everyone, he quietly laid down the Blood God Spirit Refining Formation capable of enveloping the entire mountain.

This old rival of his had long since fallen into the demonic path!

"But now, things are looking a bit grim..."

The Sword Ancestor of Heavenly Sword gazed at the scene atop Heart Sword Sect and murmured.

With the augmentation of the Blood God Spirit Refining Array, the other party now had a chance of successfully crossing the tribulation.

But once the other party succeeded in crossing the tribulation, his own situation would not be optimistic.

Beneath a Sword Saint, all are ants.

These words are by no means wild boasting!

Within Heart Sword Sect.

After absorbing all the Blood God Seeds, Wang Jizhou's injuries had fully healed, and his strength had risen sharply along with it!

Looking over his entire life, he had never been as powerful as he was today.

Wang Jizhou let out a hearty laugh, then raised the Holy Weapon once more and launched another offensive against the Lei Jie!

Relying on the combined augmentation of the Holy Weapon, the Sword Saint's residual sword intent, and the Blood God Spirit Refining Array.

The Lei Jie, which had originally seemed powerful to the point of being unstoppable in his eyes, had actually become feeble and utterly lacking!
