Chapter 499: Achieving the Great Saint

Boom—!

Countless purple Thunder poured down, completely submerging Yin Qi.

Yin Qi sat cross-legged, unperturbed, letting the countless Thunder strike his body; not only did it not injure him in the slightest, but it instead transformed into strands of pure Thunder True Qi that merged into his body.

He was using the Thunder to refine his body.

Later, the Thunder seemed to grow angry, feeling that it had been ignored.

And so, very quickly, humanoid lightning figures walked out from the depths of the Thunder; they were young Great Emperors, each radiating a monstrous aura, each acting as if they were the only ones supreme.

"Kill!"

Yin Qi's expression was somewhat solemn, but more than that, he was eager to try.

He stood up and lunged toward those young Great Emperors.

Boom—!

Deep within the Thunder, Yin Qi engaged in a fierce battle with the young Great Emperors.

These young Great Emperors were all at the Great Saint level, each possessing boundless divine abilities, yet he remained unafraid.

His Immortal Dao had not changed, remaining at the late Nascent Soul stage.

One must know, he was currently only at the first order of the Great Saint realm.

But his Xuanhuang Body had made great progress, completing the refinement of nearly half of his internal organs.

Various fist techniques, palm techniques, finger techniques, blade techniques, Sword techniques, Secret Techniques, and so on, were quickly mastered and used with ease under the pressure of these young Great Emperors.

Of course, this was the Star Body under the power of one Life Spring.

The power of a single star might not be strong.

His Martial Dao remained in the Thousand Transformations stage, but it had also taken a great step forward; in the future, reaching Shattering Vacuum would be a matter of course.

In the end, Yin Qi erupted with full force, shattering these young Great Emperors with a single blade strike.

More importantly, he had completely activated his Star Body, using the star essence of individual stars to re-smelt the gods within his Acupoints; he now had a marvelous feeling that a single Acupoint god of his could Jieyin the power of one star for his own use.

As the Thunder vanished, the starlight filling the sky also began to dissipate.

Nine Life Springs, a ten-fold increase in combat power, and Secret Techniques like One Qi Transforms into Three Purities made his combat power unprecedentedly strong.

But when the power of 129,600 stars gathered together, it became an incomparably vast force, capable of reaching ten times, or even twenty times, his own combat power.

But at this moment, Yin Qi's combat power was already infinitely close to the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Yin Qi took out the Yin Shang, flashed into it, and said to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, head to the Human Race Tenth Pass."

These young Great Emperors were all at the Great Saint level, and all could exert combat power at the peak of the Great Saint realm.

When fully unleashed, it was equivalent to being able to Jieyin the power of 129,600 stars for his own use.

Truly, one loses track of time while cultivating.

Calming his mood, Yin Qi performed a slight Calculation and discovered that ten years had already passed.

Yin Qi had not fully erupted, but instead used these young Great Emperors to temper himself.

Yin Qi stood in the Void, a look of joy flashing in his eyes; he felt that this enlightenment in the Starry Sky had brought him truly immense progress.

First was the Covering the Sky Method, which had finally reached the Great Saint realm.

"Understood, Master."

Although the Yin Shang did not know the specific coordinates of the Human Race Tenth Pass, she had inherited a portion of Yin Qi's abilities.

That was the ability of Calculation.

With her calculation ability, she would soon be able to find the corresponding star system coordinates.

Very quickly, a flash of seven-colored Immortal Light appeared on the Yin Shang, and the Yin Shang submerged into the nothingness.

……

The Human Race ancient road's Tenth Pass was a key node, because there was a Cheng Sheng Star here.

Cheng Sheng Star, as the name implies, is a place for Proving Dao to Become a Saint.

This was a primitive, wild planet with the most primal and powerful laws.

If one chose to become a Saint here, once they broke through, they would seize the creation of Heaven and Earth to build the most solid foundation for the Dao.

Yin Qi also prepared to turn this place into one of the training bases for the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty and the Heavenly Palace; at the same time, a magic well was sealed on this planet, and the Immortal Liquid inside was his target.

Legend has it that in the Mythological Era, the Dao Venerable had beheaded a Holy Spirit that was about to prove the Dao, splitting the opponent's body into seven parts and sealing them in seven deep wells, as if brewing wine, wanting to refine the essence of the Holy Spirit's flesh and blood to leave a legacy for future generations.

It was just a pity that this matter required an extremely long period of time to complete, and the methods left behind by the Dao Venerable back then had gone wrong, causing all seven ancient wells to turn into magic wells.

In the original story, the Holy Spirits, foreign races, and the Human Race had fought over the Immortal Liquid, ancient Holy Spirit artifacts, and the Heaven-Mending Technique left behind by the Holy Spirit, eventually blowing up seven ancient life stars.

But now that Yin Qi had arrived, it would no longer be their business.

……

Space rippled slightly, and the Yin Shang slipped out silently.

Through the virtual screen, Yin Qi looked at the outside world; before him was a massive ancient life star, not only radiating a vast aura but also filled with vibrant vitality, primitive and ancient.

This ancient star had a primitive landscape with towering ancient trees.

Countless powerful ancient beasts lived upon it, as if it were still in the Taigu period, with ancient beasts reigning supreme.

At the same time, in the outer space of this massive planet, there was a huge city, rotating around the ancient life star like a satellite, with a large number of the Human Race living within the city.

This was the Human Race Tenth Pass.

……

On the Human Race trial road, the Holy Cities of the first nine passes were all suspended in the Starry Sky; only the Tenth Pass was located on a primitive ancient star, because the first nine passes were used to screen for talent.

Only the strong could walk to this point and enjoy the creation of the primitive ancient star, building the strongest foundation for becoming a Saint here.

The Wushi Dadi and Qing Di of the past, among others, had all set foot here.

……

Silently and without a sound, Yin Qi entered the ancient city.

Having stepped onto the Starry Sky for ten years, perhaps he could hear news of old acquaintances here.

This fortress city was extremely vast and was a very important node on the Human Race trial path, containing not only a large number of indigenous residents but also trial-takers from various ancient life stars.

For various reasons, they had temporarily stopped here.

That they did not continue on their journey was not because they were not strong, but because they had various purposes.

Because primitive ancient stars like Cheng Sheng Star were still very rare in the universe, and the more primitive an ancient life star was, the more it meant it contained countless divine objects that could only appear during the Taigu period.

What's more, many Great Emperors had visited here in the past, so one never knew where a legacy left by a Great Emperor might be.

The wide streets were bustling with activity, with medicine shops, weapon pavilions, scripture towers, and various taverns and teahouses on both sides; people came and went, making it incomparably prosperous and lively.

Yin Qi walked into a tavern, as news was most accessible here.

After ordering a table of wine and food, he soon heard the news he wanted to hear.

"Have you heard? Another Heavenly Pride from Burial Emperor Star has fought their way here. This time, it is said to be a monk named Jue Youqing, whose Vajra-like glare has slain several Slashing Dao Kings in a row."

"Hiss, are they that strong? To actually slay several Slashing Dao Kings in a row; it seems this person is preparing to Proving Dao to Become a Saint here."

"Pah, that's only slaying a few Slashing Dao Kings. You must know that six years ago, Ye Fan and Pang Bo were the two truly peerless ruthless ones; they slaughtered Saints like chickens and swept through everything invincible. In the end, they Proving Dao to Become a Saint on Cheng Sheng Star."

"No way, doesn't that mean they could easily kill Saints while they were still Slashing Dao Kings? How is that possible?"

"What is impossible about that? One of them has the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, and the other possesses the Demon God Bloodline; furthermore, nobody knows what kind of Secret Technique they practiced, but their combat power can be called heaven-defying. Some time ago, news came from the thirty-third pass of the Human Race that they actually joined forces to slay a Saint King; only people like Di Tian and the Great Demon King can compete with them."
