Hmph, go and die!
At this moment, Yang Yao appeared in the void, snorted coldly, and his terrifying aura erupted. With one palm, he struck towards Feng Yourain below.
Lin Xiao’s heart surged with great anxiety, but at this time, he was still being flung away by the power of the previous strike, unable even to control his body.
Snort!
And just then, an extremely terrifying aura came sweeping over like a vast tide, an unmatched pressure instantly enveloping hundreds of miles around. The entire heavens and earth were under immense strain.
At this instant, Lin Xiao felt as if his body was about to be crushed. If not for his sufficiently powerful physique, he would probably have been torn apart by that terrifying pressure, his flesh and blood shattering.
This pressure was too horrifying, almost tangible in its force. Lin Xiao’s body, which had been flying backwards rapidly, was pressed to a halt, fixed in the void.
At this time, the nine fifth and sixth level Martial Emperor powerhouses had already rushed within a hundred miles. Their bodies too were rigidly frozen in place in the void.
And Yang Yao, who was about to strike, hurriedly stopped. His palm and entire body trembled uncontrollably, sweat beading on his face. In terror, he uttered, “Martial Saint!”
What! Lin Xiao’s heart jolted fiercely.
Martial Saint, the realm above Martial Emperor, the saintly realm of martial arts that stepped into the pinnacle domain.
A Martial Saint powerhouse had actually appeared here!
Martial Saints had broken through the shackles of the human body. Below Martial Emperor, even those who lived longer through special methods lasted at most two or three hundred years.
But Martial Saints could live up to five hundred years.
Even in the era of the Heaven Swallowing Spirit Emperor, they were rare.
Martial Emperors had not appeared for thousands of years, and the Heaven Swallowing Spirit Emperor had become emperor through spiritual power. Martial Saints could be called the absolute pinnacle powerhouses of the entire continent.
Lin Xiao had thought that in this current world, there might no longer be any Martial Saints, at most only half-step Martial Saints.
Who would have expected that there really was a Martial Saint powerhouse, and he appeared at this critical moment.
Not only was Lin Xiao shocked, the nine from the three sects in the other location were utterly stunned, or rather, terrified.
The top powerhouses of their three sects were merely half-step Martial Saints, figures who could dominate almost anywhere in the region, nearly invincible below Martial Saint.
Yet that was only below Martial Saint. Compared to a true Martial Saint, it was worlds apart.
In front of a Martial Saint, a half-step Martial Saint probably could not even withstand one move.
For a Martial Saint to emerge just before Yang Yao attacked that woman, it was highly likely to spell disaster for them.
The faces of the nine were already covered in cold sweat, just like Yang Yao’s.
Further away, the three sect youths who were injured and unable to fight were equally terrified.
Though hundreds of miles distant, at the periphery of the pressure’s coverage, they still felt immense strain.
And in the instant everyone was shocked, a figure appeared as if teleporting, his speed so fast that the naked eye could scarcely catch it. In the blink of an eye, he was in the void.
It was an elder of indeterminate age, dressed in a loose grey-yellow ancient robe, with long white eyebrows and beard, silvery white hair. His face was sallow like earth, piled with wrinkles, his entire visage bloodless, like a layer of dust, aged to the extreme.
Yet that aged figure gave a sense of grandeur. His whole being emanated a peerlessly terrifying supreme pressure, making it almost impossible for everyone to breathe.
Martial Saint, invincible in the present age. Any martial artist below Martial Saint was like an ant before him.
Goddess, I have finally found you! The elder turned his gaze towards Feng Yourain below, his mouth’s wrinkles twitching as he issued an aged voice.
Goddess? Someone from the Temple of Destiny? Lin Xiao’s heart was greatly alarmed, cold sweat flowing down his face.
Back in the Southeast Domain, he had heard the hall master of the Temple of Destiny’s branch there address Feng Yourain as the goddess.
Now, this person also called Feng Yourain the goddess. It was clear this elder must be from the Temple of Destiny.
The Temple of Destiny on the Central Continent actually had a Martial Saint powerhouse!
Moreover, he had independently tracked down Feng Yourain.
Before this, the Temple of Destiny in the Southeast Domain had no connection whatsoever to the headquarters on the Central Continent.
How had the other side found Feng Yourain?
What exactly was the connection between the Temple of Destiny’s goddess and the Temple of Destiny?
Lin Xiao was puzzled in his heart, and what worried him equally was that with just one word from Feng Yourain, this Temple of Destiny powerhouse might turn against him.
Before a Martial Saint, none of his trump cards would work, nor could he activate any.
Whoosh!
The Martial Saint elder flicked a finger, and a pill shot towards Feng Yourain, directly entering her mouth.
Immediately after, Feng Yourain’s injuries began recovering at a visible speed. Her weakened aura soon restored as well.
Snort!
In no time at all, a supremely overbearing aura burst from Feng Yourain’s body.
Within the aura was a sacred charm, a feeling of looking down from on high, evoking an inexplicable mental suppression.
And Feng Yourain’s cultivation aura level had already shifted from first level Martial Emperor to second level Martial Emperor, breaking through one Martial Emperor realm in an instant.
Not only that, the aura on Feng Yourain continued surging, breaking from second level Martial Emperor to third level Martial Emperor, until it reached the peak of third level Martial Emperor, then finally stopped.
Noticing the changes on Feng Yourain, everyone was stunned. To fully heal injuries in one go and directly break through two Martial Emperor realms, what kind of pill had this Martial Saint powerhouse used?
Seeing Feng Yourain’s breakthrough, the Martial Saint elder nodded in satisfaction. Then he raised his head, his eyes almost hidden by wrinkles turning towards Yang Yao. A cold voice slowly emerged from his mouth, “You dare to touch even my temple’s goddess. You deserve to die!”
With that, an even more terrifying pressure emanated from his body.
The next moment.
Puff!
Yang Yao’s body suddenly burst apart. Blood sprayed from it, his entire form crushed into a pile of minced meat, even his bones shattered.
Yang Yao, an eighth level Martial Emperor powerhouse, perished on the spot in an instant, without uttering a single word.
What!
Intense shock instantly covered Lin Xiao’s face.
The eighth level Martial Emperor Yang Yao was crushed directly by the pressure without the opponent even making a move?
Just how strong was a Martial Saint powerhouse?
Not just Lin Xiao, the nine from the three sects, frozen in the void a hundred miles away, all revealed profound horror.
They had never seen a Martial Saint powerhouse either. An eighth level Martial Emperor killed without the opponent lifting a finger?
What chance did they have of surviving?
Despair and terror filled everyone’s hearts.
And the next moment, the terrifying pressure enveloped the nine. Their bodies shattered one after another, blood spraying into the sky. In the end, they all turned into minced meat, the nine perishing.
What! Hundreds of miles away, the injured three sect youths on the ground were all dumbfounded, their eyes filled with intense terror.
The fifth and sixth level Martial Emperor elders of their three sects, and even the eighth level Martial Emperor elder, were all directly crushed to death by the Martial Saint’s pressure?
This was too terrifying.
And immediately after, that pressure covering hundreds of miles continued expanding outward. The three sect youths’ bodies also burst apart one by one, ultimately all perishing.
The entire scene now held only Lin Xiao, the purple corpse puppet, Feng Yourain, and that Martial Saint powerhouse.
