The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 509 Another Breakthrough, Cataclysm Begins

Chaos is coming.

This will be a catastrophe that will affect the entire ancient trial path of the human race.

Even though the powerful figures on the human side had noticed it many years ago, they were unable to stop it.

Or rather, preventing it is useless.

Regarding this catastrophe, the protectors of the ancient road split into two factions.

Someone wants to take this opportunity to completely detonate the hidden dangers of the seven demonic wells that have existed on this ancient road for countless millennia.

So that they might remain a thorn in the side of the Holy Spirit, and not be remembered by the Holy Spirit.

Others, unable to bear the devastation, wanted to guard against the catastrophe from the very beginning and do everything in their power to prevent it.

But that's too difficult.

Because the forces that want to launch this catastrophe on the ancient road of humanity are not just one party. In addition to the Holy Spirit, there are also alien forces such as the Light Clan.

Each of them is no weaker than the human forces on the ancient road.

Besides, we've only ever heard of thieves who are thieves for a thousand days, not thieves who are guarded against for a thousand days.

You can guard against it for a while, but not forever. And even if you can guard against it for a lifetime, what about for thousands or tens of thousands of lifetimes?

As long as those few demonic wells used by Dao Venerables to suppress and refine the Holy Spirit Ancestor continue to exist, the ancient path of the human race will inevitably face this catastrophe sooner or later.

Besides, there are also some powerful human beings who, like the holy spirits and evil gods, are also coveting the treasures that may exist in those seven demonic wells.

Therefore, the idea of ​​preventing a catastrophe is simply unrealistic.

The trend had already been formed many years ago.

The fiftieth city on the ancient human road has become increasingly prosperous and bustling.

The reasons are self-evident.

But if we're talking about this star system, where has the biggest change occurred?

That was clearly the Sacred Body Star, one of the twin stars, not far from the fiftieth city.

The Holy Body Star wasn't originally called that.

But a year ago, when the Holy Peng King defeated the Overlord Hun Zhan and publicly revealed the inside story of the Holy Overlord War that took place 100,000 years ago.

More and more cultivators began to refer to that star as the Sacred Body Star or the Xi Sacred Star, in order to commemorate the Sacred Body Yang Xi who was buried on that star.

Throughout the past year, every single day, people, and even a few alien beings, have crossed over from all corners of the starry sky to the Sacred Body Star, making a pilgrimage to the grave of Sacred Body Yang Xi to pay their respects.

Since that battle, almost all the trial participants who arrived in the fiftieth city did one thing as soon as they came to this star field: they went to Yang Xi's grave to pay their respects.

At the grave of this hero who once prevented the dark turmoil, people either scatter white petals or offer cups of wine in gratitude.
Heroes should be immortalized and remembered and mourned by all.

Without exception, all those who went to pay homage to the sacred body of Yang Xi also saw the cliff next to Yang Xi's tomb.

They saw the two sentences left on that cliff by the Overlord Hun Zhan and the Overlord Immortal Lu Zhou.

At this time, whether it is the Overlord Body Unparalleled Battle or the Overlord Body lineage, they will receive warm greetings from all kinds of languages.

The despicable and shameful nature of the Hun Zhan and Ba Ti lineages was revealed to everyone in its entirety through that cliff.

Conversely, everyone held the Immortal Overlord Lu Zhou in high regard.

As the saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm.

Although the Overlord Immortal Lu Zhou has no need to, and disdains to, step on the Overlord Body Hun Zhan to highlight himself.

However, whenever anyone who comes here to pay their respects to Yang Xi sees the two sentences left by Hun Zhan and Ba Xian Lu Zhou on that cliff, and learns the whole story, they will understand the truth behind it.

Few people wouldn't express their heartfelt sentiments.

"You beast, you scoundrel!"

"Ba Xian is truly a role model for us all, and he deserves to be admired by more and more people!"

In this life, every normal person wants to be respected by others.

Even after death, this is no exception.

No one can accept that someone would come to their grave to insult them after they have died.

Such a chaotic and inhumane approach is clearly too beastly.

Especially when there's a huge inside story involved.

This undoubtedly highlights just how utterly despicable Hun Zhan was in committing this act.

Many people who came here to pay homage to the Holy Body Yang Xi, after seeing the four characters left by Hun Zhan on that cliff, were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to destroy that cliff.

They would never allow a hero who has protected all living beings to be so insulted by a beast.

But in the end, the cliff was not destroyed.

The guide, Zhao Gongyi, stopped them.

Yang Xi's descendants, Yang Yunteng and Yang Xunzu, also stood at the foot of that cliff and spoke out.

"The reputation and achievements of our ancestors can never be insulted by the four words left on this cliff by the Overlord."

"Its existence will only inspire my Yang family to strive forward generation after generation, and to always take the deeds of our ancestors as our role models."

After Yang Yunteng and his son spoke out, that cliff was preserved.

Some elderly people volunteered to guard Yang Xi's tomb, and they also took care of the cliff face there.

The precaution was to prevent the group with the Overlord Body from secretly destroying that cliff.

Because as long as this cliff exists, it will tell all those who come after it just how despicable and shameless the Hun Zhan and Ba Ti lineage truly is.

In just one year, the Holy Body Star was no longer as gloomy as it once was.

Its brilliance is now almost on par with the domineering star next to it.

Many powerful figures who came to pay homage to Yang Xi moved spiritual veins to this star from other places, and sorted out some of the mountains, rivers, geography, and Dao principles on this star.

It is said that a supreme sage once personally took action and used extraordinary methods to modify this star and its surrounding star system, making the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the Sacred Body Star increasingly abundant.

Sacred Body Star has become the undisputed number one holy land in this star field.

Aside from some initial disturbances, the lives of Yang Yunteng and his son remained largely unchanged, gradually returning to normalcy as time passed.

Some wanted to give them the riches of emperors, while others wanted to lead them onto the path of spiritual cultivation at any cost.

But they rejected them all.

They knew why all of this happened.

They would never do anything that would exploit the glory of their ancestors.

Not only were all the holy bodies of past generations upright and indomitable figures.

The descendants of the Holy Sacrament also possess a pride and perseverance no less than their ancestors.

Compared to the increasingly dazzling Holy Body Star, the Overlord Body Star next to it, which could also be described as dazzling, now presents a completely different picture.

It's hard to imagine that in just one short year, the essence of heaven and earth here has become so thin that it can be described as depleted.

On this star, the once lush forests have turned into deserts.

Many of the majestic and towering mountains, lakes, rivers and seas that once boasted magnificent scenery have disappeared.

Even some of the dragon veins that were once buried in this planet have somehow ended up on the Sacred Body Star.

It once shone brightly in the star field where the fiftieth city is located for 100,000 years because it buried a Great Accomplished Overlord Body.

Now, it is despised because it once buried a powerful being.

This is perhaps a case of being both made and broken by the Overlord Body.

The more some people respected the Holy Body Yang Xi, the more they despised the Overlord Body who was buried on that star.

Often, after some people have paid tribute to Yang Xi on Sacred Body Star, their next stop after leaving Sacred Body Star is the star where the Overlord Body is buried. They will stomp on the Overlord Body's grave a few times or spit on it.

This situation was only somewhat contained when a top-tier expert from the ancestral star of the Overlord Body arrived to guard the tomb and protect the mausoleum.

Lu Zhou and Qing Shi had both heard about these things.

Few people know that during the year they disappeared from the public eye, they actually stayed deep within the star field where the fiftieth city is located.

Some of the rumors circulating outside are not exaggerated.

The Hun Zhan is indeed not to be underestimated.

Although the Holy Roc King defeated the Overlord in their battle, he was severely injured.

Even with the precious medicine bestowed upon him by Lu Zhou to heal his wounds after the war, it still took King Shengpeng a full three months to fully recover.

As Lu Zhou had predicted, the Holy Roc King became even stronger after recovering from his illness.

Saint Peng King is still only at the seventh level of the Saint Realm, and his cultivation has not broken through again.

This is related to the fact that he had just broken through two realms and entered the late stage of the Saint Realm not long before facing the Overlord.

However, after his battle with the Overlord, the Holy Roc King's spirit, Dao heart, and combat strength were all incomparable to those before his battle with the Overlord.

This battle not only solidified his fragile state of mind after breaking through two levels, but also brought him a spiritual transformation.

"Unfortunately, I ultimately failed to reach the forbidden realm of gods through that battle."

When King Shengpeng said these words, his tone carried a hint of resentment.

"Don't rush, take your time. The forbidden realm of the gods cannot be forced. Perhaps one day you will have a sudden inspiration and suddenly touch that state!"

Lu Zhou patted Saint Peng King on the shoulder, telling him not to dwell on the matter too much. If the Divine Forbidden Domain were truly so easily accessible, that would be insane.

In the days that followed, Lu Zhou and his group stayed deep within this star field, consolidating themselves, and did not continue their trials.

After a fierce battle with the Overlord, the Holy Roc King gained many insights from the fight, and there were many lessons to be learned from that battle that were worth studying and absorbing.

Perhaps when he has fully absorbed all those insights from the great battles, the Holy Roc King will be able to advance even further.

Over the years, Lu Zhou and his companions have gained a great deal of knowledge and insights along the way.

Now is the time to carefully revisit and study the insights and scripture gains of these years, and let them settle in their own minds.

Only in this way can we make it our own.

Coincidentally, here is another masterpiece by the Emperor, a work of Origin Art that even Lu Zhou found eye-opening and required considerable effort to study and research.

This made Lu Zhou even more eager to stay here for a while longer.

Time flows like water, and the stars revolve.

The time spent lingering in this starry sky.

Lu Zhou would occasionally sit cross-legged on a meteorite, brew a pot of tea, and read a book.

It might be a scripture of the underworld, or a Taoist scripture, or even a code of numbers, etc.
Occasionally, he would sit quietly for several days or even a month or two without moving, ignoring the dust that fell on him.

Sometimes, his figure would appear to move back and forth across this starry sky, ethereal and unpredictable.

In front of and behind him, intricate and complex primordial divine patterns intertwined, causing the surrounding starry sky to tremble and shake.

He once manipulated the stars.

The commotion caused startled even Qing Shi, who was sitting on a lotus platform in the distance, holding a copy of the Imperial Scripture or a book of the Nine Secrets for contemplation, several times.

Qing Shi's figure was graceful, like a celestial maiden descending to earth, her beauty breathtaking.

Years have passed, and Qing Shi has long since entered the realm of a sage king.

But Qing Shi now is not simply someone who has stepped into the realm of Saint King, compared to twelve years ago.

She has undergone a complete transformation.

The changes in Qing Shi were particularly noticeable during the year she spent with Lu Zhou.

Her features had matured, and she had lost some of her ethereal, otherworldly beauty, gaining more worldly air. Finally, on a beautiful night with dazzling stars, she was taken advantage of by Lu Zhou.

The celestial maiden, coveted and admired by countless heroes and powerful rulers, became the shape of the Hegemon Continent.

Qing Shi had gone astray, her wisdom was clouded, and her Dao heart was flawed, riddled with cracks that she had never noticed.

If things continue like this, the hidden dangers within her will eventually erupt, and she will surely face great calamity.

Or they may be stuck in their current state for life, unable to move forward any further.

Or perhaps her cultivation level has regressed, her combat power has been greatly diminished, and she has gradually fallen far behind those other powerful figures on the path to the throne who were originally on the same level as her.

Even worse, she might face the tragic end of dying immediately.

Twelve years ago, after Lu Zhou enlightened her, Qing Shi did not deliberately pursue any cultivation realm in the past years.

She devoted most of her energy to repairing and nurturing her Dao heart.

Until two years ago, her Dao heart was once again flawless, completely resolving all the hidden dangers within her, and she naturally broke through to the Saint King realm.

Lu Zhou also contributed a lot to Qing Shi's efforts in repairing and nurturing her Dao heart.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Lu Zhou was able to win her heart.

Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the cold, dark starry sky.

A vast and boundless sea of ​​lightning tribulations, surging with the power to destroy everything, suddenly appeared in the depths of this starry sky.

As it illuminated the starry sky, it also submerged Lu Zhou, who had been sitting motionless cross-legged for months.

"Was it Young Master Lu who attracted this tribulation?"

"Could it be that Young Master Lu is finally about to break through?"

The commotion was so great that it alerted Qing Shi, Ling'er, and the others who had been cultivating in the vicinity with Lu Zhou.

Even some powerful figures within the fiftieth city sensed it.

Some people rushed out of the city with horrified expressions and looked into the depths of the starry sky.

Some people were even preparing to head towards the direction from which the lightning tribulation fluctuations were coming from.

Let's see which fellow cultivator is undergoing tribulation and has caused such a commotion.

Unfortunately, by the time they arrived at the scene, the lightning tribulation had already dissipated.

Lu Zhou and the others had already left, and it was unknown where they went next.

God is weeping, demons are howling!
The Great Moon Slope, located in the place where the tenth city attained enlightenment, ultimately became a veritable burial ground for gods and ghosts.

After a series of fierce battles, the Demon Well, which had been sealed by the Celestial Venerable of Morality, was finally opened by the alien army led by the Fire Spirit Cangyan and the Stone Spirit Ao Mang.

The human cultivators who remained in the tenth city, along with the many ancient beasts of the Land of Enlightenment, all obeyed the orders of Daoist Qinghuang and the Tyrant Dragon Tuolan after a bloody battle and retreated into the depths of the starry sky.

Ye Fan, along with Qinghuang Daoist, the Old Madman, and others, stood in the universe, closely watching the situation at Dayuepo through the projection of an ancient crystal platform.

Before long, the situation at Dayuepo became even more terrifying.

A huge, snow-white evil lotus emerged from the demonic well. Great Saint-level blood demons emerged one after another from the broken seal of the demonic well, stirring up boundless bloodshed.

This sudden change made even the two powerful Saint-level spirits, Cang Yan and Ao Mang, dare not stay any longer.

Unable to defeat them, they fled with their alien forces into the depths of space.

But just half a month later, the two great holy spirits, Cangyan and Ao Mang, returned to fight again.

Not only did they come back, they also brought reinforcements.

They were a group of alien races, including not only four Great Saint-level evil gods from the Light Clan, but also the Light Clan's ancient imperial weapon, the Divine Refining Pot.

They exerted all their strength to operate the Refining God Pot, unleashing its ultimate power to counter the stone token wielded by the Holy Spirit Ancestor.

This was a horrific scene that defies description.

After the clash of the ultimate paths, not only did the evil god of the Light Clan who activated the Divine Refining Pot, but also a group of alien races under his command explode and die beyond repair.

The ultimate path soared into the starry sky, annihilating countless asteroids from beyond the realm.

The scene was horrifying and shocking. Everyone who witnessed it was speechless for a long time, their expressions filled with horror.

The great battle continued, with the Refining God Pot being repeatedly activated by the two Holy Spirits and the Evil God, launching attacks on the Evil Lotus and slaying the Blood Demons.

Cang Yan and his group wanted to obtain the stone token and the inheritance of the Heaven-Mending Technique mastered by the Holy Spirit Ancestor.

Cangyan believed that it was a secret method that could allow a Holy Spirit born prematurely to reach the Great Perfection.

The ancient road was devastated, leaving countless lives lost.

Apart from Lu Zhou, no one expected that this battle, which took place in the Land of Enlightenment, would last for a full six months.

It wasn't until the seventh month that things took a turn for the better.

Ye Fan, Long Ma, the young madman, and the Qinghuang Daoist and other human experts all kept a close eye on the battle during this time.

The land that had been obtained cracked open, even though this star was protected by the mark left by an ancient emperor.

However, under the continuous clashes between the powerful Great Saints, the revived ancient imperial weapons, and the Holy Spirit Ancestor wielding that stone token for several months, the situation remained unchanged.

It still cracked.

The Star of Sainthood split into continents floating in the starry sky.

A large number of star fragments have been completely annihilated.

The months-long battle turned this once prosperous and brilliant star field into a wasteland.

Countless lives perished because of this catastrophe.

Even powerful beings like the Great Sage-level Holy Spirit Ao Mang and another Great Sage-level evil god perished here one after another.

This goes without saying for those creatures who are inferior to them.

But the deaths of Ao Mang and the others were also valuable.

They didn't die in vain.

After suffering such heavy casualties.

Finally, the Demon Well was destroyed, and the blood demons that crawled out of it were all killed one after another.

That enormous evil lotus was pulverized into dust by the Refining God Pot, which was jointly used by the Great Saints Cang Yan and others. The dust turned into light and dissipated into the universe.

Shortly thereafter, the arm of the Holy Spirit Ancestor that had been sealed here by the Dao Venerable also exploded, leaving only a stone token of the Holy Spirit Ancestor.

That was actually more than just a very powerful quasi-Emperor weapon.

It is also a special kind of Holy Spirit.

The Stone Token is made of stone on the outside, but inside it contains flesh and blood. It was born together with the Holy Spirit Ancestor and became the Holy Spirit Ancestor's weapon.

Cangyan and the evil gods activated the Refining God Pot again, preparing to collect their spoils, including the stone token.

But at that moment, the void suddenly shattered.

Several figures, as if they had planned it in advance, emerged from the gaping void.

Lu Zhou was among those figures.
