Another Saint was slain by Zhou Qiongtian. The Saint's eyes brimmed with terror and despair, along with deep, bitter regret.

Had he known Zhou Qiongtian was this terrifying, he would not have joined in this spectacle even if beaten to death. Now, his intestines had turned green with regret.

"You whelp, how arrogant!" A Saint King expert roared in a low voice, gripping a spear as he charged toward Zhou Qiongtian.

He stepped forward, twisted his waist and shoulders, and suddenly thrust out his spear. The spear shot forth like a dragon, carrying an air of grandmasterly bearing.

This Saint King's attainments in the Spear Dao had reached at least the Grandmaster realm!

Zhou Qiongtian used Lightning Step beneath his feet and refused to tangle with this Saint King. He was far faster than his opponent, and as long as he focused on evasion, the Saint King simply could not catch him.

Zhou Qiongtian dodged several Saint Kings and headed straight for the Saints. The instant those Saints were targeted by him, their souls nearly fled their bodies and their scalps went numb.

Several Saints fled for their lives like madmen, but Zhou Qiongtian quickly caught up. With a single sword strike, one Saint fell.

These Saint Realm experts, who outside would be masters of a sacred land and overlords of a region, were like little chicks before Zhou Qiongtian, utterly unable to resist.

Zhou Qiongtian was like a grim reaper harvesting lives. With every sword strike, a Saint fell.

Several Saint Kings pursued Zhou Qiongtian from behind, yet even Late-stage Saint King experts found it difficult to catch him.

One Saint burned his essence blood and used a Blood Escape Art, yet Zhou Qiongtian caught up with him after only a few breaths.

He turned to look behind him. There had previously been seven other Saints behind him, but now he alone remained.

"Spare my life..." Before the Saint could finish begging, Zhou Qiongtian severed his head.

Thus, all eight Saints who had come to the grand formation had fallen!

Zhou Qiongtian held the Mystic Heaven Sword in one hand and a head whose eyes refused to close in the other. Bathed in blood, his expression cold, steam continuously rose from his body. He was like a bloodthirsty demon god, intimidating everyone present.

The remaining Saint Kings felt chills run through their bodies, and fear unexpectedly arose in their hearts.

"He is only one man, and merely an Early-stage Saint King at that. What is there to fear? Attack together!" shouted the strongest among the four, a Late-stage Saint King.

The other three Saint Kings seemed to have found their backbone. Their bodies immediately trembled, and their eyes gleamed.

That was right. Zhou Qiongtian was alone, and only an Early-stage Saint King. What the hell were they afraid of? They had merely been intimidated by the sight of him instantly killing several Saints.

Four against one—the advantage was ours!

The four Saint Kings did not take turns feeding themselves to him. Instead, they attacked at once. Judging by how Zhou Qiongtian had instantly killed a Saint Great Perfection expert earlier, he was clearly no ordinary Early-stage Saint King cultivator.

Zhou Qiongtian's expression grew slightly solemn. His eyes transformed into Twin Pupils, and the movements of the four Saint Kings slowed in his vision.

For the first time, Zhou Qiongtian actively mobilized the Law of Lightning within his body. Compared to the Law Power wielded by Supreme experts, this wisp of the Law of Lightning was like a firefly before the bright moon, utterly incomparable.

But this was Law Power nonetheless—the power of the Great Dao!

Previously, Zhou Qiongtian's cultivation had been too weak for him to activate Law Power. But now that he was an Early-stage Saint King, he could already mobilize this wisp of the Law of Lightning.

Fortunately, there was only one wisp of the Law of Lightning. Otherwise, Zhou Qiongtian would have been unable to mobilize it.

The moment the Law of Lightning appeared, the entire scene erupted in uproar. The four Saint Kings looked as though they had seen a ghost, their eyes filled with shock.

"This is Law Power that only Supreme experts can wield. How can a mere Saint possess it? Impossible!"

"Even if he temporarily possesses Saint King combat strength, Law Power has nothing to do with combat strength! Am I dreaming? How is this possible?!"

"No, this strand of Law Power is extremely weak!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the other three Saint Kings came to their senses. It was indeed Law Power, but there was not even one percent of the Law Power wielded by Supremes.

They had been too shocked by the appearance of Law Power and had overlooked the anomaly in it.

"Hmph! A bluffing trick meant to scare people. Watch this old man smash it apart!" One Saint King snorted coldly and raised his right palm. Saint Power immediately condensed into a massive hand that descended from the sky and slammed toward the Law of Lightning.

At that moment, the Law of Lightning transformed into a lightning dragon. Baring its savage claws and fangs, it roared and charged toward the descending palm. In the next instant, the divine ability unleashed by the Saint King was forcibly torn apart by the lightning dragon.

Then, without losing momentum, the lightning dragon lunged at the Saint King. It was so fast that even a Saint King expert could barely react. In an instant, it reached him, opened its cavernous maw, and swallowed him whole.

"What?!" The Saint King's face changed drastically. The lightning dragon had been condensed from the Law of Lightning; its entire body was lightning, as was its interior. Endless lightning continuously blasted into him, instantly leaving him charred on the outside and tender within, his whole body convulsing.

"Save him!" The remaining three Saint Kings joined forces to attack the lightning dragon. Three divine abilities descended, and the lightning dragon gave a mournful cry before dissolving into lightning.

The Saint King felt as though he had been reborn, instantly experiencing the joy of surviving certain death. The air was so fresh!

In the next moment, Zhou Qiongtian used Lightning Step and instantly appeared before him. Empowered by the Law of Lightning, Lightning Step was as fast as a Saint King Great Perfection expert. The four Saint Kings had all focused on the lightning dragon and instead overlooked Zhou Qiongtian.

As Zhou Qiongtian suddenly attacked, all four Saint Kings were startled and hurriedly retreated. The lightning dragon from earlier had clearly made them exceedingly wary.

Ignoring the other three Saint Kings, Zhou Qiongtian looked at the Saint King who had just escaped the lightning dragon's jaws. He held a scroll in his hand, and in the next instant, he abruptly unfurled it.

A low-grade Venerable-rank treasure—the Heaven and Earth Scroll!

The Heaven and Earth Scroll floated in midair. Within it were mountains and rivers, sun and moon, stars and constellations, like a miniature world.

The Saint King's heart immediately jolted, and an ominous feeling rose within him. In the next instant, a tremendously powerful suction force erupted from the Heaven and Earth Scroll, and he was dragged into it in utter terror.

"Why is it me again?" The Saint King screamed in despair, utterly devoid of the will to live. Once trapped within the Heaven and Earth Scroll, unless Zhou Qiongtian released him voluntarily, breaking the scroll would not be something he could accomplish anytime soon.

When Zhou Qiongtian looked at the other three Saint Kings, the pressure on him immediately lessened greatly, and an intrigued smile appeared on his face.

The three Saint Kings' expressions darkened. They had never expected dealing with a single Saint to end in such a disaster. It was absurd beyond absurdity—absurdity had opened the door for absurdity, and absurdity was home.

Moreover, Zhou Qiongtian was simply too wealthy. The Heaven and Earth Scroll and the Mystic Heaven Sword—those were already two Venerable-rank treasures. As core elders of superpowers, they did not even possess one.

Comparing people could make one furious enough to die. They simply could not compare!
