Chapter 543: Saint Contender

Chapter 543: Chapter 543 Saint Contender

“Why… Why… Impossible!” the Demonic Emperor shrieked in horror . Then he cried out as loud as he could .

Zhou Xuanji looked up at him and said, “Do you know Kunlun Origin Court?”

The Demonic Emperor was stunned . What’s that?

The legendary swords pierced his soul once again in an instant and shredded him into ash .

Domineering!

Powerful!

After gaining higher insight into the Sword’s Way than the Sword Soul, Zhou Xuanji killed the Demonic Emperor instantly .

His cultivation did not grow but was using the power of Demon God Tianwu .

Not only so, he somewhat sensed that his soul was empowered . He was no longer like before .

“Could it be those words from the old immortal?”

Zhou Xuanji mumbled to himself . He was not surprised by the fall of the Demonic Emperor but began introspecting himself .

In the previous two decades, the old immortal preached once every few days . It was not about some energy techniques but about the laws of all things .

Those words were not that simple .

Unknowingly, they had tempered his soul .

“Who are you?” an icy voice came, and Zhou Xuanji glanced over .

He saw the Demonic Ancestor descending, enveloped by demonic Qi . Only the Demonic Ancestor’s face could be seen, filled with a baleful aura in between his brows .

Zhou Xuanji remembered his eyes .

It was the Demonic Ancestor that he used to admire .

At this moment, the Demonic Ancestor was no longer unsurmountable in his eyes .

Zhou Xuanji replied, “It’s not important . I’m merely settling a personal grudge with the Demonic Emperor . ”

He stored up all his legendary swords and was about to leave .

Instantly, he disappeared from the underground space .

The Demonic Ancestor did not pursue but frowned in contemplation .

“Who is this person? Such sword might . Why haven’t I met him before?”

The Demonic Ancestor was puzzled in his heart . He had a peculiar expression on his face .

Someone that could kill the Demonic Emperor easily must not be ordinary .

The Beast Emperor suddenly appeared . Seeing that only the Demonic Ancestor was there, he was stunned .

“Amitābha, I didn’t expect another Saint Contender to be born in Wanshen Great Thousand . ”

A merciful voice came . A pair of eyes lit up in the darkness — a pair of golden eyes .

The Demonic Ancestor and the Beast Emperor looked back simultaneously and showed fear in their eyes .

“Ninth Nether Buddha, you are finally willing to come out . ”

The Beast Emperor ridiculed, but he felt pressure in his heart .

Another contender for the Saint’s position .

…

In the taoist temple .

The old immortal, who was meditating, opened his eyes suddenly and smiled in approval .

“Not bad . He gained insight into the meaning of the great Dao . Although it was only a surface understanding, he has already stepped into the door . My effort in spending my soul energy to preach to him was not in vain . ”

The old immortal closed his eyes and began divining .

The smile on his face grew brighter .

At the same time .

In the void, and in a palace that floated among the asteroids .

“Pfftt—”

The Demonic Emperor vomited a mouthful of blood and instantly withered .

He opened his eyes that were filled with bitterness and hatred .

“Zhou Xuanji!”

Gritting his teeth, he exploded with fury .

After he calmed himself down, he took a deep breath .

He suddenly remembered Zhou Xuanji’s words .

Kunlun Origin Court…

Was that the name of a place?

Or the name of a faction?

He fell into deep thought . The battle with Zhou Xuanji was humiliating for him . He would never become a saint unless he settled this grudge against Zhou Xuanji .

…

Zhou Xuanji shuttled through the underground space quickly . He expanded his divine sense and made sure that no one followed him .

With his movement speed, only a few in Wanshen Great Thousand could catch up to him .

He was still thinking about the enlightenment mode he was in previously .

Sword Dao Rules

Dao…

He suddenly understood the old immortal’s words .

Kunlun Origin Court was Dao . Dao was in everyone’s heart .

If one could understand this, he could control Dao .

There were many Daos, but it was extremely difficult to understand Dao, even harder than becoming a saint .

Even if his cultivation was not enough to become an Overlord Saint, he could still rely on the Heavenly Law’s Violet Qi .

But to understand Dao, he could only rely on his talent and serendipity .

Although he believed in his talent, it was all thanks to the old immortal that he understood Dao .

However, his understanding was still very superficial . The path ahead of him was still long .

Two hours later .

He sat under a tree and began breaking through .

During the battle with the Demonic Emperor, he absorbed a massive amount of magic energy . Along with gaining insight into Dao, it was enough for his breakthrough .

He noticed that things all around him were in ruins . It was apparently the result of his battle at the world’s core .

He was so far away from the battleground that it was enough to show that the entire Wanshen Great Thousand was impacted .

He shook his head, neither pleased nor sad .

Soon, he broke through to Universe Heaven Level Eleven .

Because of Dao, he did not encounter a heavenly tribulation .

He understood, once again, something that the old immortal said .

The reason why the Heavenly Law would not punish him after he becomes an Overlord Saint .

Wherever Dao is, it overrides the Heavenly Law .

There were thousands of Dao, and the Heavenly Law was merely one of them .

After breaking through, he did not leave immediately but waited for his soul energy to regenerate .

He could only rescue Xian Xianghua using the Nine Soul Fusion Technique .

In the next few days, news about top cultivators battling in Wanshen Great Thousand’s core spread swiftly .

That battle affected the entire Wanshen Great Thousand . Many living beings suffered the consequences of it .

At the same time, everyone finally understood the true horror of the tribulation that came with contending for the saint’s position .

Wanshen Great Thousand was facing the crisis of destruction!

Their world was so fragile before the extreme powerhouses .

…

In the Demon God Palace .

Duyishen opened his eyes and asked, “Who’s the most powerful in the Sword’s Way in Wanshen Great Thousand?”

Sword’s Way?

Xian Xianghua was dazzled and thought of Zhou Xuanji immediately .

She sighed faintly, not knowing whether she would meet him again .

Until this day, she had yet to marry him . It was her most regretful thing .

A demonic cultivator replied, “Currently, it’s Sword Sovereign Gu . But it could be that many powerhouses in the Sword’s Way have yet to die but only hid themselves to cultivate in seclusion . Counting those in ancient times, the most powerful one should be Zhongdao Huasheng . He could cut the Great Thousand World in half with one slash .

Zhongdao Huasheng?

Duyishen frowned . He had apparently heard of this name before .

He mumbled, “I didn’t expect him to come from Wanshen Great Thousand . Seems like the person just now was him . Has he become so powerful already?”

All the prisoners were very anxious . Duyishen’s prowess made them despair . They did not want to die, so they did not dare to offend Duyishen .

Duyishen closed his eyes again and no longer spoke .

Xian Xianghua whispered to the white-haired old man, “Why doesn’t he kill us?”

The white-haired old man said, “Not sure . But it’s not for good . ”

The other prisoners felt restless as well . Among them, some were imprisoned for many years, some only a few months . Many of them were brought away by Duyishen and did not appear again .

The horror of the unknown tortured them .

Time continued to pass .

Five days later .

Someone appeared on a peak, looking afar at the Demon God Palace .

It was Zhou XuanJi .

This was his second time coming to the Demon God Palace . He was almost killed by the Ruin Demon Emperor the previous time . This time, his heart-mind was changed totally .

Looking ahead, he mumbled, “Old demonic woman, you are really not dead . Such a hardy life you have . ”
