Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 435: Chapter 224: Only the Wise and Able Understand the Times

The South Sea Divine Nuns suddenly took action, almost unnoticed by everyone. The implication is clear; the South Sea Divine Nuns could not have been swayed by the Black Blood Demon Monarch with just a few words, so there is only one possibility.

The South Sea Divine Nuns have defected too!

Among several Absolute Strong Persons, two have defected, which is terrifying.

Everything happened suddenly.

Close to the place of world will.

Ning Qi battles the Black Blood Demon Monarch, Gui Changqing and the South Sea Divine Nuns are entangled in combat. The Black Blood Demon Monarch and the South Sea Divine Nuns clearly intend to exert some kind of influence on the world will, but Ning Qi and Gui Changqing block them. The battle’s ripples are exceedingly frightening, making it impossible for All Saints to intervene; they can only watch anxiously. The situation has already become somewhat chaotic.

Moreover, there is an even more terrifying thought in everyone’s minds.

Are there other traitors besides these two?

Almost at the moment this thought arose.

Waves of Spiritual Power fluctuations suddenly exploded.

Martial Saints were wearing hideous expressions, attacking their compatriots around them.

"Barbarian Emperor! How dare you?"

"Buddha Baoshu, why do this?"

"Evergreen Martial Saint, I truly misjudged you, despite treating you as a close confidant!"

Voices of condemnation rang out.

All Saints could not fathom that these once closest enemies would fall so low. The battle hadn’t even begun yet, and they had already defected. Have they forgotten the deep hatred spanning thousands of years?

They were devastated and in disbelief, feeling struck both physically and mentally.

The rebellious Martial Saints were filled with murderous intent.

"Those who embrace the current circumstances are wise. We merely seek a path to survival!"

"Paths that differ do not work together!"

They were resolute; since they chose this path, they would not regret it.

These rebellious Martial Saints were steadfastly preventing others from assisting Ning Qi and Gui Changqing.

Though their numbers were few, several among them had profound cultivation.

To some extent.

The closer one’s cultivation is to the limit, the less they wish to die. They also wish to see scenescapes higher up; after countless years, it’s normal for some people to develop ulterior motives.

"Supreme Martial Realm will, please send down Heavenly Thunder and annihilate these traitors!"

A Martial Saint cried out in blood, attempting to forcefully call upon the Martial Realm will using the ancient Tao Sound Secret Technique.

This is also why the traitors hadn’t secretly attacked the Martial Saints earlier: if they had revealed their intentions with a single careless act, everything would be lost. No matter how strong they were, they didn’t count for much in front of the Martial Realm will. They endured until now, seizing the best opportunity during the brief period of weakness right after the Martial Realm will’s baptism.

The Martial Realm will, hearing the call of All Saints, shone brilliantly.

But invisible Spirit Chains suddenly materialized, binding it tightly, preventing any leakage of power.

Everyone was astonished.

This Dharma Method was exceedingly terrifying and clearly targeted the Martial Realm will; the traitors came prepared. This Dharma Method was highly likely bestowed by the Mountain and Sea Realm!

Hopeful yet horrified glances were cast towards the final two Absolute Strong Persons.

Great Yan Martial Saint and Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint.

Even after the other four Absolute Strong Persons went to battle, these two remained uninvolved, seemingly wary of one another.

But now.

Following the appearance of the Spirit Chains around the Martial Realm will, the Great Yan Martial Saint’s gaze suddenly turned sharp, and he said solemnly:

"Heaven-Slaying, why? Why is it you?"

He had a look of disbelief in his eyes, having considered it might be others, even thought the fighters now staging a battle might be acting, yet he held back from acting first. But never did he expect it to be Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint.

This enforcer and Orderer walking the world had also decayed over the long ages.

The others were equally terrified.

No one could have imagined even Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint would defect.

All at once, everyone felt a wave of insecurity; the blow to morale was immense. To some extent, Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint was considered the top figure in the Martial Realm, although he was not openly called this, many Martial Saints believed it.

Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint’s face remained calm, silent.

He replaced words with actions.

The Heaven-Reaching Giant Blade burst forth with terrifying Blade Intent, slashing towards Great Yan Martial Saint. The powerful, unmatched strength seemed almost capable of splitting the sky!

The Great Yan Martial Saint’s pupils shrank sharply, he cast out the Ancient Seal, boundless flames roared and erupted, morphing into various phenomena, but in the face of such an overpowering Heavenly Blade, they were severed one by one. Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint’s power surpassed what had been shown before.

Li Yanwu felt tremendous pressure.

He had a premonition that he was not Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint’s match, and his heart grew heavier.

Li Yanwu shouted angrily:

"Heaven-Slaying, you have defected to the Mountain and Sea Realm. Are you honoring the glory and will of your ancestors? Do you know that the Heaven-Slaying lineage was entirely wiped out by the Mountain and Sea Realm, leaving only your ancestor alive? Have you forgotten such a deep-seated hatred?"

These words would have been fine if unsaid; as soon as they were spoken, Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint, who had maintained a calm expression, suddenly twisted into fierce rage.

"Ancestor’s glory and will?"

"Scornful glory! All scornful!"

"Why do you all enjoy the love of parents and the care of close friends, while I, the world’s strongest, must remain as solitary as a gutter rat? Why?"

Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint’s pupils brimmed with bloodshed, seemingly set to vent years of suppressed bitterness, striking repeatedly with no mercy.

"From the day I was born, I was blind by nature, suffering torment daily, my family perished, cursed by the heavens with solitude. No matter whom I treated well, that person inevitably faced hardship, tormented endlessly."
