A series of terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations jolted Ye Xiwen awake from his seclusion.
Both his true body and Star Colossus Avatar awakened at the same time. However, his Star Colossus Avatar did not move. Instead, it closed its eyes and continued absorbing the energy from the barrier.
His true body rose directly to his feet and headed outside to see what had happened. A ball of fire was bottled up in his heart. He had been just a tiny step away from entering the Great Saint Realm, and had been about to swallow the Violet Heart Grand Essence Pill when violent tremors suddenly erupted outside.
"Could it be... the Feather Transformation Church has come?" At the thought of this possibility, Ye Xiwen's expression changed at once. If that was the case, then things were bad. Once the Feather Transformation Church made a move, it would be an all-out assault. The Feather Transformation Church's all-around attack was not itself the issue; the real problem was that he was not ready yet. His true body had not entered the Great Saint Realm, and his Star Colossus Avatar had not entered the Half-Step Transcendent Realm. Both were just a little short. Given a little more time, he could have achieved breakthroughs with both bodies. Then, even if the Feather Transformation Church launched a full-scale invasion, he would have some means of protecting himself. At the very least, he could escape from a Transcendent Realm expert. By then, he could truly advance to attack and retreat to defend. But now, neither had broken through. All he could say was that trouble had come knocking.
The moment Ye Xiwen reached the surface, he sensed the violent fluctuations in the air. In the distance came the cries of the True Martial School experts stationed here.
