NOVEL NEXT Chapter 799
Whether it was the Yin Emperor or the Chaos Emperor, both hidden Creation Saints were shocked by Ye Junlin’s displayed power.
For the first time, they felt a genuine sense of crisis, like rulers who had sat high on their thrones only to suddenly realize they could be threatened by their subjects below!
All along, they thought all the beings in this universe were merely pawns on their chessboard. If a piece wasn’t useful, they simply discarded it. They had never bothered to truly regard or respect them.
Now, unexpectedly, a pawn was starting to break free from their control, even aiming to become a third player in the game, completely threatening their positions!
How could they remain calm?
“Indeed, my plan was right. As this universe grows, exceptional talents are bound to emerge, shattering the existing balance and dominion.”
“This Ye Junlin is a perfect example.”
The Chaos Emperor spoke in a deep voice.
In fact, there was an unknown way to break through to Creation Saint, a method kept secret between him and the Yin Emperor, ensuring that both could maintain absolute control over this universe, free from threats or replacements from the cultivators beneath them.
As for his previous hints to the Old Celestial Servant about needing to master the Respect Grade Sacred Intent at the Saint King Realm to connect with Creation Saint…it was actually a veiled misdirection.
If one didn’t accomplish that final step, let alone possessing Respect Grade Sacred Intent at the Saint King Realm, even having Respect Grade Sacred Intent or Semi-Emperor Grade Sacred Intent would be pointless!
What is a Creation Saint?
Throughout history, people understand it as seizing the creation of heaven and earth to become a Creation Saint, but that’s only one aspect. The more crucial point is to seize the creation of all beings in the universe!
To put it simply, it means through theft!
Now, the Age of Saints in this universe had reached its peak; logically, there shouldn’t be just two Creation Saints. Even a dozen would be more than enough, yet there were only these two, and they had always been these two!
The reason behind this was chilling!
Many Saint Ancestor Realm cultivators spent their whole lives unable to break through to Creation Saint, thinking it was due to their limited talents or insufficient effort. The real reason was that the best path to breaking through to Creation Saint was completely blocked by the Yin Emperor and Chaos Emperor!
This path was the Qi of Creation!
The Qi of Creation existed in the Abyss, which was born from the deepest parts of the universe. Only those at the Saint Ancestor Realm could enter. It was extremely dangerous inside, and even powerful Saint Ancestors could fall with the slightest mistake.
Within the Abyss, there was scarce Qi of Creation that emerged once every billion years. A Saint Ancestor only needed to refine a wisp of Qi of Creation to have a chance to break through to Creation Saint!
Of course, one wisp often wasn’t enough. Unless one had exceptionally monstrous talent and maxed out their cultivation at the Saint Ancestor Realm, they would have a significant chance of advancement by refining just one wisp.
If one refined more than five wisps of Qi of Creation and still couldn’t advance, they would have truly lost their chance at becoming a Creation Saint in this life.
When the Chaos Emperor and the Yin Emperor reached the Saint Ancestor Realm, they directly went to the Abyss to seize the Qi of Creation.
They understood clearly that they had to seize the opportunity before all beings in this universe.
Thus, they took the initiative and by refining the Qi of Creation, they became Creation Saints!
To prevent later discoveries of the secret of this place, the Chaos Emperor and the Yin Emperor coincidentally joined forces to unleash mighty powers, sealing off the entrance to the Abyss while laying down eternal illusions to completely hide it from the universe, ensuring it wouldn’t be discovered.
This was what the Chaos Emperor and the Yin Emperor did, and it had been their long-held secret.
Later, as Creation Saints, the two held absolute dominance in this universe; even with the continuous emergence of more Saint Ancestor Realm cultivators, none could threaten their positions.
More and more Saint Ancestor Realm cultivators felt helpless and despairing at failing to break through to Creation Saint over their lifetimes; they eventually came to believe it was their own fault. They held the early breakers, the Yin Emperor and Chaos Emperor, in deep admiration and reverence.
Little did they know, it was these two, due to personal greed, who had severed the path for future geniuses to advance to Creation Saints!
After the battle, Ye Junlin returned to the Kunlun Realm with the gravely wounded Emperor Tian.
“Welcome back, Emperor Tian!” Countless cultivators shouted with fervor.
What Ye Junlin had done was clear to all. That punch was simply invincible, dazzling the world.
“It has to be Master at work!” Li Wujie exclaimed excitedly.
Empress Fuyao’s expression was complicated; the gap between her and this later generation was growing larger by the minute.
There was absolutely no comparison!
“Truly, like the Yangtze River, waves pushing waves forward, well done, Friend Ye!” Elder Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh.
Indeed, the era that belonged to their four Saints had ultimately passed. Now, it was the era of the Ye Tian Emperor!
One person overpowering all beings, utterly unmatched in the world!
Ye Junlin tossed the unconscious Emperor Tian to the ground and commanded, “Little Black, he’s yours now.”
“Yes, Master!”
The Great Mushroom King hurriedly stepped up to treat the unconscious Emperor Tian.
Emperor Tian’s injuries were truly shocking. If he didn’t receive timely treatment, death would be merely a matter of time.
“So it seems we’ve ultimately failed…” On the other side, Luan spoke gloomily.
Just moments ago, he had received a round of treatment from the Great Mushroom King and had pulled through, barely able to speak.
Ye Junlin scolded, “Have you lost your mind? Without me, at his state, anyone would kill him, followed by the destruction of this world. Would that make you happy?”
Unexpectedly, Luan sneered, “If you hadn’t stopped him, things wouldn’t have escalated this far. According to our original plan, we could corrupt the Star Core and restore the Kunlun Realm to its former state. That would have been enough!”
“Grass! You think you have a point? I actually want to chop you into meat paste and feed you to the dogs!” Li Wujie raised his sword in anger.
The others also wore furious faces, glaring at Luan’s obstinate reasoning.
Only Senior Gou scratched his dog’s nose, feeling a bit dejected, “Even if you gave me that, I wouldn’t eat it…”
Facing the aggressive glares, Luan showed no fear and coldly stated:
“You don’t get it; this is the only way to preserve the Kunlun Realm. Otherwise, once the Divine Court Master activates the final harvesting stage, the Star Core of the Kunlun Realm will be instantly drained of energy, leaving it lifeless! Not only the Kunlun Realm, many other worlds would face this situation, which would be catastrophic for the entire universe!”
“To prevent him from achieving this goal, corrupting the Star Core of the Kunlun Realm is the most effective and safest method!”
“We are doing this for the Kunlun Realm, for all beings in this world. What’s wrong with that?”
A hoarse, deep voice rang out, brimming with emotion.
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, seeing the uncertainty in each other’s eyes.
Though it sounded absurd, what if it was true?
Empress Fuyao fell silent for a moment and then turned to Ye Junlin, saying, “Friend Ye, we’ve already examined thoroughly; his Sea of Consciousness shows no abnormalities, indicating he is clear-headed and not manipulated by the Nine Nether Lord.”
She had always regarded Luan as a traitor, believing that his actions back then had betrayed the Kunlun Realm and plunged it into ruin.
But now, she never expected this situation to have a twist!
If what he said held true, then his actions back then might have been justified, forced by circumstances, and perhaps a means of saving the Kunlun Realm.
It left Empress Fuyao in a complex state, torn in indecision.
Ye Junlin rubbed his chin and asked, “What’s the evidence? If you’re so convinced, you must know something.”
After all, saying things without proof and having someone betray their own world, carrying endless blame from then on, obviously required a strong determination.
Luan forced a smile, saying, “Back then, the Nine Nether Lord approached me secretly. At first, I didn’t believe it, but then he showed me something—a strange branch. He demonstrated how it pierced the Star Core and drained its energy completely, leaving it a hollow shell.”
“He said this branch was taken from a treasure known as the Void Divine Tree. The real Void Divine Tree can effortlessly penetrate voids and pierce the Star Cores within countless worlds to absorb energy, strengthening the divine tree, ultimately resulting in a divine fruit!”
“And that this Void Divine Tree is in the hands of the Divine Court Master!”
Upon hearing this, everyone felt shocked.
So, such a terrifying treasure exists in this world?
Ye Junlin’s gaze shifted and he pondered, “Then what is the function of this so-called divine fruit?”
He thought the divine fruit must have some miraculous effect, otherwise, why would the two Creation Saints continue to fight over it?
Luan fell silent for a moment before his cracked lips uttered three words,
“Can become a god!”
