The elder of the Zhu family was just about to return to deal with Master Cang alongside the Shadow Saint when Ye Qiu’s presence suddenly appeared, causing him to pause.
"You’re not dead?" The elder of the Zhu family was shocked, staring blankly at Ye Qiu, who had suddenly appeared. Just monts ago, he thought Ye Qiu was most likely dead.
But now, here he was, appearing of his own accord.
"How could I die? King Yan won’t take ," Ye Qiu said calmly.
"Hmph, do you think by breaking through to the Gui Xu Realm, you can match ? Dare to show up, I think you’re courting death." The Saint of the Zhu family couldn’t help but feel a little afraid. Fortunately, Ye Qiu appeared voluntarily; if he had hidden, wouldn’t he have left a formidable enemy to the Zhu family?
Looking at the gaze from the elder of the Zhu family, Ye Qiu sneered. The other party looked as if he had him figured out, but Ye Qiu was no longer the Ye Qiu of before.
Now he could confront a Saint head-on.
The elder of the Zhu family was unaware of this, still regarding Ye Qiu as a weakling. Although Ye Qiu had endured nine Heavenly Tribulations, he was still below the Saint Realm, which, to the elder of the Zhu family, seed formidable.
"There’s no point in talking too much. If you want to kill , let’s see if you have the strength," Ye Qiu was now eager, wanting to use a Saint to hone his skills and test his strength.
The elder of the Zhu family saw the intense fighting spirit in Ye Qiu and couldn’t help but laugh coldly, "Want to die? Then I will fulfill your wish."
With that, the elder of the Zhu family swiftly made his move.
The Saint moved, invisible and silent. Ye Qiu, with the quickest reaction, threw a punch but imdiately felt a numbness in his fist, his entire body pushed away by a powerful force.
The figure of the elder of the Zhu family solidified in mid-air, casually saying, "A Saint cannot be rivaled. Even if you are a peerless genius, don’t think you can overco the boundaries and defeat , especially since you only just broke into the Gui Xu Realm."
Ye Qiu was knocked flying; his Gui Xu Realm strength was indeed still a notch below when compared to the opponent. Now his fists were numbed, with cracks appearing on the bones.
The power of the black fla circulated, healing all his wounds.
Although the Gui Xu Realm brought strong bodily resilience, it was still lacking compared to a Saint.
The gap was still too wide.
With just one move, Ye Qiu realized the chasm between the Gui Xu Realm and a Saint, still as vast as the heavens.
The Saint of the Zhu family saw the deep expression on Ye Qiu’s face and sneered, "Accept reality. Your strength is ultimately not my match. Even if your soul is strong, so what? I admit, your soul attack can hinder , but as long as I take it seriously, your Soul Power is still useless. Besides, isn’t your Soul Power very weak now? Do you dare to wield it against ?"
The elder of the Zhu family appeared confident, as if he could clearly see through Ye Qiu’s power.
If not for the blackening, his judgnt wouldn’t have been wrong. If it were any other Martial Artist, there would indeed be no way right now.
But at the mont, the elder of the Zhu family was facing Ye Qiu, a descendant of the Dugu clan; he still had a trump card he hadn’t played yet.
"Do you think being a Saint gives you the true control over soone’s life and death?" Ye Qiu was unimpressed by the condescending attitude of the elder of the Zhu family. Who decreed that a Martial Artist couldn’t defeat the strong with the weak?
"I am a Saint, you a Gui Xu Realm Martial Artist, separated by a boundary. That is the gap. Unless you are given another ten or twenty years to break through to the Saint Realm, then I might not be your match. But today, if you wish to leave alive, it’s nothing but a dream. I won’t let you leave," said the elder of the Zhu family.
"Then I will break this gap you speak of and leave alive, and no, when I leave alive, you will die instead. It seems, you have no life left to watch leave," Ye Qiu said, beginning to activate the blackening power again.
Mysterious black lines rapidly spread, continuously growing, covering even half of Ye Qiu’s face.
The aura around Ye Qiu surged, his martial realm climbing from the early Gui Xu Realm to the mid-stage, late stage, pinnacle, and then stepped across to reach the early Saint Realm.
Saint Realm!
Through the power of blackening, Ye Qiu finally reached the level of the Saint Realm. This day had finally arrived.
Feeling the power of the Saint Realm, Ye Qiu had a sensation of being on par with the heavens, emboldened by a daring spirit to challenge the sky itself.
Ye Qiu felt, with one punch, he could even shatter the heavenly bodies, with mountains and rivers at his command.
This was an invincible might, powerful beyond imagination.
Ye Qiu loved this kind of power that even made his heart skip a beat. No wonder the Saint Realm was so terrifying; only upon reaching this level did he realize all other martial realms were like ants.
Ye Qiu even lifted his eyes, catching sight of the rules governing heaven and earth.
Saint!
Transcending everything to beco a Saint, although Ye Qiu was not a true Saint, through blackening, he temporarily entered this realm, experiencing the feelings of a Saint.
This power capable of destroying mountains and rivers was indeed too wonderful, Ye Qiu imrsed himself in it, unable to extricate himself.
In this brief interlude, the elder of the Zhu family was already too shocked to speak, as he never imagined Ye Qiu would suddenly leap from the Gui Xu Realm to the Saint Realm. It was a whole big leap, wasn’t it?
Did he enter the Saint Realm?
What exactly was going on, his previous breakthrough was clearly a Gui Xu Realm Heavenly Tribulation, so why suddenly did he beco a Saint, reaching his level.
The elder of the Zhu family was bewildered, it was the first ti encountering an opponent like Ye Qiu, with martial realms fluctuating unpredictably, making it hard to gauge.
Soon, the elder of the Zhu family realized Ye Qiu’s Saint Realm was different from his own.
Strictly speaking, Ye Qiu had the power of a Saint, but lacked the aura.
There was a missing essence.
"I’ve only heard of so super sects’ Saint Heirs using Secret Techniques to wildly increase a realm. Could this child be a Saint Heir of so sect?" The elder of the Zhu family grew more alard as he thought.
"But those characters shouldn’t be here."
The elder of the Zhu family couldn’t figure it out, until his gaze fell on the mysterious lines suddenly appearing on Ye Qiu’s face, and his mind jolted.
These lines looked familiar as if seen sowhere before, and when connected to Ye Qiu’s skyrocketing strength, three words suddenly flashed across the elder of the Zhu family’s mind: Dugu clan...
"Could it be... he’s... a mber of the Dugu clan?"
The elder of the Zhu family finally understood. This mysterious pattern was exactly what was unique to the Dugu clan, the sa clan that the Heavenly Palace had once publicized with kill orders and bounties.
Ye Qiu was a descendant of the Dugu clan!
This news left the elder of the Zhu family astonished, his mood shifting from shock to elation, as it ant Ye Qiu was of great use, able to be exchanged for a reward at the Heavenly Palace.
Wait a minute...
The elder of the Zhu family suddenly thought of the other elder who disappeared while hunting Ye Qiu. Could it be that Ye Qiu used the blackening power to take him out?
For so reason, seeing Ye Qiu’s current state, he found this scenario highly probable.
After all, Ye Qiu was from the Dugu clan, a mysterious ancient clan!
