The blood-red sun hung high in the sky in the World of Forsaken Saints. It shone with a demonic red light that enveloped the entire region. It was as red as blood. The entire world was scarlet red. It seemed like the world was filled with an evil intent.
Several Receival protectors and an elder entered the spatial tunnel at the same time on the World Mountains in the center of the foreign world. They headed to the other end of the tunnel to attack the supreme divine hall above so that they could increase the consumption of the divine hall's energy.
Several million kilometers to the east of the world, there was a majestic divine hall. It stood there silently like a primordial beast crouching on the ground. It gave off a pressuring pressure, filled with holiness and dignity, as well as a majestic presence that could trample on the world, not allowing any encroachment.
The divine hall was the Sacred Spirit Hall, the place with the greatest authority in the World of Forsaken Saints. If the entire World of Forsaken Saints was a colossal empire, the Sacred Spirit Hall would be the imperial city, the imperial palace.
The Sacred Spirit Hall had a total of three floors.
The first floor was where the ceremonies took place. The second floor was where the protectors and elders cultivated. It was divided into an inner and outer floor.
The third floor was the most special. Only the Spiritking could enter it. Even Ouyang Yangwen had never set foot on the third floor because the entrance to the third floor was protected by an ancient restriction. Those below Reciprocity could not enter.
According to the rules of the World of Forsaken Saints, anyone who had reached Reciprocity would become a Spiritking.
At this moment, in the depths of the third floor of the Sacred Spirit Hall, there was a colossal statue that was three hundred meters tall. The left and right eyes of the statue had been shattered, and there was a clear sword slash at the corner of each eye. Through the empty eyes of the statue, one could see a door that shone with seven-colored light hidden in the head of the statue. Behind the door was a fairyland-like world of mountains and rivers that was filled with origin energy.
This was a miniature world. It was not very large, only a few hundred square kilometers in size. It was even smaller than some cities. However, a figure sat in the centre of the world of mountains and rivers. Strands of powerful origin energy radiated from him. He was extremely powerful, and strands of extremely sharp sword Qi were mixed in with the origin energy from time to time. As a result, the origin energy that was mixed in with the sword Qi was even more powerful than the origin energy that was mixed in with the sword Qi.
The figure was the Spiritking. He had been in seclusion for the past three years.
He did not break through after three years of seclusion. He remained at mid Reciprocity, but he was extremely close to late Reciprocity.
"Jian Chen, the first time I saw you, your battle prowess was equivalent to Receival, but the second time, you possessed the strength to defeat Xiong Zhong. The third time will be when we truly meet again. I hope that you'll be able to surprise me again the next time we meet." The Spiritking was filled with eagerness as he cultivated. He was eager to fight Jianchen again because Jianchen was the only other person aside from him who had comprehended the Way of the Sword.
The Spiritking did not attack the supreme divine hall because he knew that it would take a long time for him to break through the tunnel. He would rather use this time to cultivate and increase his strength so that he could break through the divine hall in a single stroke than waste his origin energy on a battle of attrition with the cultivators of the other world.
As the Spiritking entered seclusion, Xiong Zhong and Ouyang Yangwen were also in seclusion on the second floor of the Sacred Spirit Hall. Ouyang Yangwen, in particular, had originally remained at late Returnance for several thousand years. After three years of seclusion, his strength had reached the peak of late Returnance. He was only a step away from Reciprocity.
However, Returnance and Quintessence were breakthroughs of the same level. Only after accumulating and erupting could one successfully make the breakthrough. As a result, Ouyang Yangwen had been stuck at this threshold for the past three years, unable to make it to Quintessence.
Another six years later, a turbulent ripple of energy suddenly appeared where Ouyang Yangwen cultivated on the second floor of the Sacred Spirit Hall. With a tremendous presence, it enveloped the entire second floor of the Sacred Spirit Hall, causing a storm of energy to appear. However, the storm only wreaked havoc on the second floor. It did not affect the first or third floor at all. No one outside the Sacred Spirit Hall could sense it at all.
The rest of the Guardians and Elders, who were still in seclusion on the second level of the Sacred Spirit Hall, woke up one after another. Under the shroud of this enormous aura, everyone felt that it was difficult to breathe. Their internal organs seemed to bear a huge pressure, and their backs seemed to be pressed by a huge mountain, making their bodies feel heavy and difficult to move.
"It's elder Ouyang. Elder Ouyang has broken through," a Returnance elder cried out. He was filled with joy.
"No, you shouldn't call him elder Ouyang. You should call him the Spiritking. Ouyang Spiritking!" Another Returnance expert corrected him. He was also filled with joy.
They were all on Ouyang Yangwen's side, so they were obviously extremely excited about his breakthrough. However, the expressions of the Returnance elders on Xiong Zhong's side all turned grave.
Xiong Zhong also roused from his cultivation. He stared at where Ouyang Yangwen cultivated through the heavy stone door. He was extremely stern as he clenched his fists tightly. Without saying anything else, he continued his cultivation. Xiong Zhong was weaker than Ouyang Yangwen, but they were both late Returnance experts after all. Even if he was weaker, there was a limit. Xiong Zhong had not broken through after nine years of seclusion, but he had also reached the peak of late Returnance. He was only a step away from Reciprocity. Now that Ouyang Yangwen had broken through before him, he needed to reach Reciprocity as soon as possible.
"Congratulations on successfully reaching Reciprocity, elder Ouyang. From today onwards, the second Spiritking of our Sacred Spirit Hall has been born." The Returnance elders on Ouyang Yangwen's side all congratulated him as well as a few protectors at Receival.
Ouyang Yangwen's white robes fluttered in the wind as he slowly emerged from his cultivation room. His rather feminine face was filled with uncontainable joy. However, he immediately frowned when he heard how the Returnance elders addressed him. He said, "Just call me elder Ouyang in the future. I'll continue to be an elder, not the Spiritking." Ouyang Yangwen shivered when he thought about the current Spiritking's strength that was on par with Godhood. If it were any other Spiritking, even if he was at late Reciprocity, Ouyang Yangwen would be extremely willing to become the second Spiritking of the Sacred Spirit Hall. However, even if he had reached Reciprocity and could become the Spiritking according to the rules, he dared not accept the title at all.
Although Ouyang Yangwen was extremely confident in his own strength, he only displayed it to the protectors and elders from the World of Forsaken Saints. Even if he was a dragon, he would need to remain coiled before the current Spiritking.
The protectors and elders were all stunned by Ouyang Yangwen's words. They looked at each other before agreeing. They obviously understood Ouyang Yangwen's intentions. The current Spiritking was just too powerful. Even if a new Reciprocity expert was born, they would not be bold enough to stand on the same level as the current Spiritking.
This was the deterrence of the current Spiritking.
Although the Spiritking had never oppressed them, they knew that the Spiritking was not a soft-hearted person. As a result, not only did the current Spiritking possess an extremely great deterrence to the protectors and elders, but he also made them feel a deep sense of dread and some respect.
"What's the situation in the other world? Has the divine hall blocking the tunnel been smashed open?" Ouyang Yangwen asked in an unquestionable tone.
"Elder Ouyang, we've never stopped attacking the divine hall in the past nine years, but it's all for naught. We haven't made any progress at all. The tunnel is still blocked," a Returnance stood out. His tone was slightly different from before. Although Ouyang Yangwen did not dare to become the second Spiritking after reaching Reciprocity due to his fear of the Spiritking, Ouyang Yangwen's status was equivalent to the Spiritking's in the hearts of the Origin realm experts.
Ouyang Yangwen's face immediately turned cold when he heard that. He said softly, "Hmph, you haven't even smashed through a divine hall in nine years. What a bunch of trash." With that, Ouyang Yangwen left with a swing of his sleeve.
The expressions of the protectors and elders on the second floor of the Sacred Spirit Hall all became very ugly after Ouyang Yangwen's departure. Although Ouyang Yangwen was more powerful than them, they were still Origin realm experts after all. However, Ouyang Yangwen had called them trash without giving them any face, which made all of them feel resentful.
This was because even the Spiritking had never insulted them like that in all the years he had reigned.
"Hmph, elder Ouyang sure is haughty. He's only just reached Reciprocity, yet he's already looking down on us," Cheng Jingyun snorted coldly.
"It won't be long before elder Xiong reaches Reciprocity as well," Gongming Xi said with a heavy voice. He was very displeased with Ouyang Yangwen as well. At the same time, he and Cheng Jingyun were both on Xiong Zhong's side.
Although the other Receival protectors all felt resentful, they did not dare to express it directly like Gongxi Ming and Cheng Jingyun. They could only suppress their resentment deep inside.
At the peak of the World Mountain, a figure flew over from afar at lightning speed. Not only was the World Mountains the tallest mountain range in the World of Forsaken Saints, but they were also one of the most dangerous places in the World of Forsaken Saints. Even Receival experts needed to be careful if they wanted to reach the top.
However, the figure in the distance directly charged towards the peak of the mountain without any fear. Powerful bolts of lightning struck down along the way, and terrifying spatial cracks appeared as well. However, none of that could stop that person's speed at all. He either dodged them cleverly or casually unleashed a resplendent and powerful streak of sword light, killing all the dangers that came from all directions.
A while later, the figure arrived at the top of the World Mountains. To no surprise, he was Ouyang Yangwen, who had just reached Reciprocity.
Ouyang Yangwen had always been prideful and prideful, but after suffering two setbacks on the Tian Yuan Continent, he returned to the World of Forsaken Saints in a horrible shape in the end. If there were people on the Tian Yuan Continent who were far more powerful than him, he would not have cared so much. However, there was no one on the Tian Yuan Continent who could catch his attention. Ouyang Yangwen was unable to accept that he had been beaten to a pulp before all the elders and protectors from the World of Forsaken Saints. As a result, Ouyang Yangwen hated the people of the Tian Yuan Continent very much. He was tempted to personally wipe out all the people from the Tian Yuan Continent. Only then could he vent his anger.
As a result, Ouyang Yangwen had rushed over as soon as he broke through.
