The inner demon cried.
All along, he had been the one to destroy the Dao Heart of others and force them to deny him. Then, he would make use of this opportunity to devour the other party.
Yet, this fellow actually wanted to take him in as his student as soon as he opened his mouth … Can you at least play your cards according to common sense?
I am an inner demon, alright? I am here to bewitch you, not to be bewitched by you!
"Cough cough, what I mean is that there is a problem with your cultivation, or else you would have been able to become a Celestial Saint very quickly. If you believe me, I can help you cultivate even faster …"
Suppressing his frustration, Zhang Xuan's words were filled with bewitchment once more, leaving one unable to help themselves from falling into a trance. It was even more frightening than a demonic tunist.
"I know what you are trying to say, but don't try to fool me. Your cultivation technique is different from mine, so there is a problem with your cultivation … If you don't believe me, why don't you give me a punch?"
Zhang Xuan said with a wave of his hand. He wasn't tempted in the slightest.
If the other party had tried to tempt him with anything else, he might have fallen for it. However, his cultivation technique … Given how he was able to make even Ancient Sage Qiu Wu vanish in embarrassment, a mere inner demon wouldn't be able to sway him at all.
Peng!
But before he could finish his words, the inner demon abruptly vanished from his sight.
Since he couldn't bewitch the other party, he could only be destroyed.
Before vanishing, his heart was on the verge of collapsing. How in the world did he meet such a cold-blooded fool? He would never come again.
Wuuuuu … I want to go home …
The clash between Zhang Xuan and the inner demon had only lasted for an instant. In the eyes of an outsider, all they saw was a thick bolt of lightning striking his body. He didn't sustain any injuries, spurting blood, or trembling in pain. Instead, with a resounding boom, his body jolted.
Following which, golden rays of light burst forth from his head, and innumerable flowers made of Origin Energy fell from the sky.
"This … He has cleared the Heart Ordeal? How did he clear it so quickly? "
Lozosy widened her eyes in shock.
She had thought that he would be unable to overcome the most difficult trial of the Saint Ascension Ordeal, but who could have thought that he would be able to clear it as soon as the lightning struck him? This was way too unexpected!
Huala!
As the Origin Energy flowers fell, the ominous clouds in the sky slowly dissipated, and a white ray of light shone down, as if a hole had been torn in the heavens.
Under the illumination of the white light, the injuries on Zhang Xuan's body healed at a visible rate. His strength also rapidly increased.
Seeing this, Lozosy heaved a sigh of relief and hurried over.
The Saint Ascension Ordeal was the moment when one's body was at its weakest. The slightest injury or attack could very well cost one his life. Thus, he had to protect him at all times.
"Heavenly Saint Qi … Zhang Shi has succeeded in becoming a Saint!"
With reddened eyes, Zhang Yinqiu clenched his fists tightly, but before he could finish his words, the laughter of the Skyleaf King suddenly echoed in the air.
"Haha … I did it …"
Following which, the crowd felt the ground trembling violently, and it felt as if the entire Qiu Wu Palace was on the verge of erupting.
The Otherworldly Demon in the sky raised his hand, and the map slowly drifted toward him.
Everyone immediately felt as if they were in a dream, as if they had once again fallen into a painting, unable to escape.
"It's over …"
Everyone's heart turned cold.
Even though Zhang Shi had succeeded in becoming a Celestial Saint, it wasn't the end yet, so his cultivation wouldn't rise by too much. Given their current condition, they were either severely injured or depleted of their zhenqi, rendering them powerless to resist.
Who could have thought that they would still fail at the last moment just as they were about to succeed?
"Hahaha, all of you are going to die! Celestial Master Teacher, Celestial Saint, all of you are going to die … "
Having finally tamed the Qiu Wu Palace, the Skyleaf King roared in agitation as he glared at the crowd coldly.
He was going to exact vengeance for the humiliation he had suffered previously.
Hong long!
With a flick of his palm, he charged toward Zhang Xuan on the Saint Ascension Platform.
That fellow was the most detestable of them all. Not only did he steal from his residence, he even had his physical body destroyed. He had to die!
Hu la!
The might of this palm strike wasn't too different from before, but it seemed as if space itself had been torn apart. In an instant, a pitch-black rift appeared in the air.
Gaining control of the Qiu Wu Palace was equivalent to gaining control of the entire folded space. At this moment, even those of a higher cultivation realm than him wouldn't be a match for him.
"Damn it!"
Zhang Xuan's clone charged forward, but as soon as it came into contact with the rift, it was sliced in two and fell to the ground.
The ability to tear apart space was simply too powerful. Even though his cultivation had increased significantly, he was still far from matching up to the Skyleaf King's attack.
"It's over …"
Seeing how powerful the Skyleaf King's attack was, everyone felt a chill run down their spine.
Who could have thought that the second Celestial Saint other than Kong Shi would die here?
Just as they were thinking that it was impossible for them to withstand such a powerful attack, Lozosy, who was guarding the Conferred God Stage, suddenly frowned in displeasure.
"Humph!"
Zhang Xuan pressed her palm down lightly.
Kacha!
The Skyleaf King's incomparably powerful attack abruptly came to a halt in midair. In the next instant, the Leaving Aperture realm expert who had just gained control of the Qiu Wu Palace froze in midair, as if a locust trapped in amber. Even his expression froze in place.
"How is this possible? W-who in the world are you? "
The Skyleaf King's body trembled in disbelief.
After gaining control of the Qiu Wu Palace, he finally understood how powerful he was. Putting aside a Leaving Aperture realm cultivator, even a Saint 6-dan or 7-dan cultivator would be killed on the spot if they were to be struck by that earlier attack.
Yet, the young lady before him was able to suppress him with just a flip of her palm. Just how powerful was she?
Given how powerful she was, why didn't she make a move earlier?
"With me here … no one is allowed to touch him!"
Placing her hands behind her back, Lozosy turned to look at Zhang Xuan once more. Her eyes were as tranquil as an ancient well, reminiscent of a tranquil painting.
I don't care if you fight to the death … but you mustn't harm him!
"This …"
The faces of Wu Shi and the others paled in horror.
They had come here together with Zhang Xuan, and they hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary along the way. Never in their dreams could they have imagined that the other party would be so powerful.
This was truly beyond imagination.
"Are you able to see through her cultivation realm?"
President Han sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan.
With a bitter smile, Wu Shi shook his head.
Even with his cultivation and knowledge, he was actually unable to see through the other party's cultivation at all.
In other words, the other party was simply too much stronger than him. They weren't even on the same level!
"If she's that powerful, why didn't she make a move back in the celestial palace? Why did she allow so many of our friends to die?" President Han gritted his teeth.
"It's not that she didn't make a move, but we don't have any relationship with her. The only reason we are here is because of Zhang Shi …" Wu Shi shook his head.
Even though he hadn't interacted much with the young lady, he could tell that she had a nonchalant personality, and she didn't seem to care much about anything. It was only because of that that she had a newfound respect for Zhang Shi.
How in the world did you expect her to save someone of her caliber?
Besides, the celestial palace was one of the trials set by Ancient Sage Qiu Wu. What if she failed to obtain the heritage?
"This …"
President Han was rendered speechless.
That was indeed the case.
This wasn't coldness. Rather, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, one would no longer view life and death as such. The other party didn't owe them anything, so they wouldn't make a move when it was necessary. Otherwise, they would be suppressed by the rules of the world, and that would bring them unnecessary trouble.
The higher one's cultivation, the more fearful one would be of the heavens. This was similar to how the higher one climbed, the colder one would feel.
"Besides, it's not like she didn't make a move. She kept warning us, and she was even framed by Jiang Yuan as the Skyleaf King …" Wu Shi continued.
"Indeed." President Han nodded.
It wasn't that the other party didn't make a move. If not for her warning, they might still be trapped in the celestial palace, and they might not even be able to pass through the Black Sandstorm of Oblivion.
Understanding this, President Han heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he couldn't help but ask, "To be able to seal the Skyleaf King with a single move … How powerful do you think she is?"
"I think that she might be …"
Wu Shi's gaze turned grim.
"Nine Star master teacher!"
