Chapter 297: Glorious Evolution

"Senior, you have come."

Yu Fuhai said with pleasant surprise.

Li Heng nodded.

"But your actions are truly swift; if I hadn't been a bit faster on my end, I probably wouldn't have made it in time."

He looked at the black liquid being burned by the flames and smiled.

Of course, this could also be called somewhat slow. Fast refers to the corresponding Reality time, while slow refers to the time he spent comprehending the information in the Mysterious Jade Slip.

Because at that time, when he was comprehending the Jade Slip.

He discovered that this Jade Slip actually had the function of stealing time; he had been comprehending that Jade Slip for a full seven days, yet the corresponding Reality time hadn't even reached a single afternoon, which exceeded his expectations.

"Senior is joking. Since such an unfortunate event has occurred at the Academy, it is only natural to handle it as quickly as possible to avoid causing greater disaster."

Yu Fuhai said.

Li Heng nodded.

"Looking at the situation, do you really intend to take action and kill to clean things up?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the statues of these Half-Saints revealed bitter expressions.

If they had a choice, they would not want to kill, because most of those who had advanced to the Dharma Aspect realm in the last hundred years were talented students from their various factions.

Yu Fuhai frowned upon seeing the reaction of these Half-Saints.

"You old fellows, hurry up and make a decision. Do not be indecisive, or is it that you still harbor wishful thinking?"

His words were not polite in the slightest.

"Yu Fuhai, what do you mean by that!"

That Lv Shi, who radiated a scholarly air, was furious.

Yu Fuhai had already sneered a few times.

"Heh, I am just afraid that someone might be soft-hearted and let those monsters escape the First Tribulation, isn't that so?"

Lv Shi fell silent upon hearing this, his expression flickering.

He took advantage of the silence of the other Half-Saints to look at Li Heng and bow to him. "May I ask for Senior's background, and why you are able to know of such mysterious matters?"

Hearing Lv Shi's question, Yu Fuhai was immediately displeased.

"What is this old fellow surnamed Lv trying to do? Do you still want to question Senior's background? You must know, if it weren't for Senior's reminder, you old fellows would still be kept in the dark!"

Li Heng was not annoyed and chuckled slightly.

"I naturally have my own channels."

"As for my background..."

A trace of the Dharma Law of Reincarnation suddenly emerged, circling on his palm, manifesting a Small Six Paths of Samsara, as if the Life and Death of the heavens and the birth and destruction of all things were within his palm.

In an instant, the Sages gasped.

Lv Shi hurriedly apologized and bowed.

"Senior, it was my rudeness!"

He was extremely shocked in his heart.

He had thought he had tried his best to overestimate the identity of this mysterious person, but he did not expect his own vision to be so shallow. This person was actually related to the Reincarnation that had just appeared in Heaven and Earth!

Perhaps, he might even be the great power who established Reincarnation!

Lv Shi was shocked in his heart.

Since they had vaguely guessed Li Heng's identity and knew the weight of Li Heng, the hesitation of these Half-Saints was reduced by more than half, and they soon made their decision.

One word: kill!

And at this moment, no matter how mysterious and full of Pollution this mass of black liquid was, as it was scorched by the Sun True Fire, it quickly turned into nothingness, Source Power +50,000.

Having grown accustomed to seeing Source Power increase by hundreds of thousands, Li Heng felt not a single ripple in his heart upon seeing this 50,000 Source Power.

However, he was not overly surprised; after all, this person was only at the Dharma Aspect realm, how strong could they be? In any case, there were many members in this Promised Land organization, and he would just accumulate it slowly.

Li Heng flew above the Hundred Saints Academy.

At this time, the auras of the various Half-Saints appeared, shrouding and sealing the Hundred Saints Academy, and the cleansing was about to begin.

He did not participate too much; he was only responsible for exterminating those black, wriggling liquids and picking the Eternal Life Peach, which could also avoid exposing himself too much.

His mind calmed down.

Suddenly.

With a thought, a phantom of a river appeared before him.

This was the power Li Heng had comprehended from the Salvation Jade Slip.

He stared at this flowing river, which did not know where it began or where it ended, and frowned.

The river was not an ordinary river, but a concrete manifestation of time, what common people call the Light Flow, the Time River, representing the past, present, and future of the World.

This sounded very strong and very impressive.

However, it was useless to him right now.

Because this thing could only be looked at and not used.

What he had comprehended was merely the manifestation of this phantom of the Time River; he could do nothing else. Let alone killing across the Time River, even peeking into the past and future was a struggle.

Moreover, Li Heng suspected.

The function of peeking into the past and future was not because of this phantom of the Time River, but because he had previously traded with Heaven and possessed a tiny bit of Future Sight, which had nothing to do with this phantom.

He felt somewhat puzzled in his heart.

What was this?

Champion Marquis could comprehend a spear technique that killed with a single strike, that Zhu Zi could comprehend a powerful Supernatural Ability that could cut off a person's Life and Death, and he had merely conjured a phantom of the Time River?

He carefully examined this Time River and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, sounds of battle emerged from beneath the Hundred Saints Academy.

"Teacher, why are you attacking me!"

A Military School genius, clad in armor and radiating a murderous aura, who upon close observation had clearly broken through to the Dharma Aspect realm not long ago, roared at the Military School Half-Saint before him.

A look of reluctance appeared in the eyes of the Military School Half-Saint.

"Xiao Hu, give up your resistance, and you might be able to live."

He sighed, offering counsel, his pressure easing slightly.

Yet this was met with a sudden eruption from the Military School genius; an endless murderous aura surged forth, and all the energy of weapons and slaughter between Heaven and Earth gathered, combining with the array patterns already laid out in this place to form a Killing Array, intending to trap and kill this Military School Half-Saint.

The Military School Half-Saint's expression stiffened, his face revealing bitterness.

In the end, it was he who had been too wishful.

He extended his palm and pressed down with a flip of his hand.

With a *pop*, the so-called Killing Array shattered instantly.

However, by this time, the Military School genius had already vanished; taking advantage of the split second the Military School Half-Saint was occupied, he had already fled.

The Military School Half-Saint's expression was calm.

"Xiao Hu, you cannot run..."

Suddenly, the Heaven and Earth Principles around the sky above the Hundred Saints Academy tightened, weaving together to form an extremely stern Order Divine Chain, which then tore through the Void and manifested in Reality.

The Order Divine Chain tracked the aura, and in almost an instant, it had bound the Military School genius who was hiding his form to flee, along with several others who had met the same fate.

Yu Fuhai appeared, his expression calm.

Those who were trapped were startled at the sight and cursed loudly.

"Old Dog Yu, what do you want to do!"

Yu Fuhai gave a light smile upon hearing this.

"You group of monsters, are you qualified to call this master Old Dog Yu? Are you still students of the Academy now?"

These people sneered.

"Since we have been seen through by you old fellows who occupy positions without doing work, then we will stop acting. It is true that from the bottom of our hearts we do not recognize this so-called Hundred Saints Academy, but you old dog, you are not qualified to call us monsters either!"

"We are the true humans, those who have received True Enlightenment!"

They laughed wildly, the energy within their bodies exploding as if they intended to self-destruct.

But having learned from past mistakes, how could Yu Fuhai not have guarded against this?

He gripped his palm tightly, and the Order Divine Chain binding these people tightened abruptly, directly locking their cultivation within their bodies and making it impossible for them to mobilize even a fraction.

"Heh, who exactly are you? What is your purpose!"

"What is your organization!"

Yu Fuhai's expression was cold and stern as he pressed them for answers.

Seeing their self-destruction fail, these people's expressions could not help but change, but upon hearing Yu Fuhai's words, they smiled with disdain.

"You ignorant old fellows, what do you want to do! Want to find our organization and destroy our cause? Don't even think about it! We will absolutely not tell you!"

Yu Fuhai sneered at this.

"I know even if you don't say it. I suppose that after the Heaven and Earth Mutation, those who successfully broke through to the Dharma Aspect realm are all your people. You devoured the original them; you are monsters!"

Upon hearing this, their expressions changed abruptly.

However.

They immediately realized this was highly likely a trap set by Yu Fuhai to get information, so they directly turned their eyes to their noses and their hearts to their noses, their expressions becoming wooden, and they ceased speaking, falling into a vast, dead silence.

All Saints Secret Realm, on Hundred Saints Mountain.

The Academy geniuses who had entered the All Saints Secret Realm to seek opportunities stood on the summit of Hundred Saints Mountain, sighing helplessly.

In the end, they had arrived a step too late.

Those two fellows who had already emptied Hundred Saints Mountain had actually prepared a spatial passage in advance; they had been unable to seal it in time and could only watch helplessly as those two hateful fellows fled the place.

It truly infuriated them.

They were unwilling to accept this; could it be that this once-in-a-lifetime trip to Hundred Saints Mountain would end with nothing to show for it?

Naturally.

They also knew that there were some opportunities in the All Saints Secret Realm outside of Hundred Saints Mountain. But they knew even better that compared to the opportunities of Hundred Saints Mountain, the opportunities outside were trash.

They would rather stay on Hundred Saints Mountain and try their luck.

"Shaojun, we cannot stay here any longer. Let us go and wander around the surroundings; perhaps there are some All Saints inheritance Gong Dian that have not closed and will not reject us."

"Two people do not have the ability to scrape clean every single place."

A woman dressed in palace robes looked with a hint of admiration at the man standing on the mountain peak, watching the scenery below, who was as handsome as jade and whose robes fluttered in the wind.

The others echoed her sentiments upon hearing this.

"That's right, the sages once said, Heaven does not cut off all paths. With Shaojun leading the way, with Shaojun's Luck, we will surely obtain great opportunities!"

Everyone's gaze focused on that man.

This could not be blamed on their blind worship.

It was because this man before them was too heaven-defying; at the age of twenty, he had already broken through to the Dharma Aspect realm, possessing the faint momentum of a second Void Saint. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be another Half-Saint in the future.

Moreover, unlike the solitary Lei Bansheng.

This Shaojun had backing; his teacher was the Half-Saint of the Zha Jia, known for gathering the strengths of the Hundred Schools of Thought, Lv Zi.

This Shaojun turned his head to look at the crowd.

"You all flatter me too much. However, I have encountered a difficult problem; could you all extend a helping hand?"

He smiled warmly, as if bathed in a spring breeze.

"To think there is a problem even Shaojun cannot solve; please speak quickly, we will certainly go all out!"

The crowd's spirits lifted, and they spoke.

"I am thinking about how to take your lives."

Shaojun spoke eerily, and the surrounding environment changed instantly, turning dark and dim, no longer bright. At the same time, his aura erupted, locking onto the crowd tightly, his murderous intent undisguised.

The crowd was startled.

Although they did not know why Shaojun was doing this, they knew even better that even if they had been sycophants to this Shaojun before, they could not just throw their lives away, so they turned and ran.

But unfortunately, this was a crushing massacre.

Very quickly, these people were all slaughtered by Shaojun, including five or six elderly Great Confucians who were at the same cultivation realm as him; it could simply be called unparalleled killing power.

"Your murderous nature is too heavy."

A figure tore through the Void and appeared, frowning as he looked at the person before him; observing his aura, it was none other than that Zha Jia Half-Saint, Lv Zi, the Lv Shi that Mu Hai had mentioned before.

"There is no help for it, this is a mission of the True Gospel."

Shaojun said with a light laugh.

"However, I find it strange. Teacher, you are not one of us, are you? So why did you notify me that a massacre targeting us had appeared outside? Do you intend to abandon darkness for light?"

He tilted his head, looking at this teacher of his.

Upon hearing this, Lv Zi fell silent.

"Go. Go as far as you can, and do not come back. I do not care who you are now, or if you are still the original you. But you still carry the inheritance of the Zha Jia; you are my disciple."

Upon hearing this, Shaojun shook his head.

"That won't do. Even if you, Teacher, have spared my life, for the sake of our organization's cause, I must still return. If you cannot accept this, then you might as well kill me now."

Upon hearing this, Lv Zi was furious.

"Do you truly think I dare not!"

Shaojun smiled.

"No, you dare not. I can see the despair you are hiding, Teacher. You do not believe that your side can win, so in order to continue the Zha Jia inheritance, you even chose to let go of me, a monster in your eyes, did you not?"

Upon hearing this, Lv Zi was stunned and spoke no more.

As a Zha Jia Half-Saint, he had gathered the strengths of the Hundred Schools of Thought, his cultivation closely following that of the First Saint, the Saint King, and now he was even confident that he was not much different from the Saint King of that time.

But now, he would rather have been weaker.

Because the more powerful he was, the more he saw, and the more desperate he became. This Heaven and Earth, all things and all spirits, were finished; everything now was merely a final flash of light, a deathbed struggle.

"Teacher, I have a proposal."

"Join us, join the glorious evolution."

Shaojun said with a sincere expression.

Outside the All Saints Secret Realm, above the Hundred Saints Academy.

Li Heng saw that Yu Fuhai had finished dealing with his side, having already forced out those black liquids that were constantly rolling and writhing, and it was his turn to act.

This black liquid had extremely strong radioactive Pollution.

If it were not dealt with quickly, even without direct contact with individual living beings, it would likely infect the surrounding environment, cause mutations, and subsequently form things even more terrifying than a Ghost Domain.

Sun True Fire appeared around every cluster of black liquid.

Seeing this, the Half-Saints like Yu Fuhai breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed the senior had acted after all.

They could not handle it; merely approaching these black liquids would cause them to resonate with the Pollution inside their own bodies, worsening their own Pollution.

Li Heng appeared beside Yu Fuhai.

"Senior, everything that needed to be resolved at the Academy has been resolved."

Yu Fuhai reported.

"Are you sure there are no omissions?"

"If you speak of omissions, there seems to be one more, but it is not in the Academy; it is inside the All Saints Secret Realm."

Li Heng's gaze instantly pierced through the Void.

He saw the All Saints Secret Realm, on Hundred Saints Mountain.
