Another Saint was slain by Zhou Qiongtian, their eyes filled with terror and despair, along with a deep sense of regret.
If they had known Zhou Qiongtian was this terrifying, they would never have gotten involved, no matter what. Now, they regretted it immensely.
"Insolent brat, arrogant!" a Saint King expert roared, charging at Zhou Qiongtian with a long spear in hand.
He took a step, twisted his waist and shoulders, and thrust his spear forward. The spear moved like a dragon, exuding an aura of a Grandmaster.
This Saint King's mastery of the Spear Dao was at least at the Grandmaster level!
Zhou Qiongtian, treading on Lightning Step, didn't engage the Saint King. His speed was far greater than the Saint King's, and he focused on evading. The Saint King was unable to catch Zhou Qiongtian at all.
Zhou Qiongtian dodged several Saint Kings and headed straight for the Saints. The moment Zhou Qiongtian targeted them, the Saints were struck with sheer panic, their scalps tingling.
The Saints fled desperately into the distance, but Zhou Qiongtian quickly caught up. With a single sword strike, another Saint perished.
These were leaders of Sacred Lands, Saint realm experts who could be called overlords of their regions, yet before Zhou Qiongtian, they were like chicks, utterly defenseless.
Zhou Qiongtian was like a grim reaper harvesting lives. With every sword strike, a Saint fell.
Behind Zhou Qiongtian, several Saint Kings pursued him, but even late-stage Saint Kings struggled to keep up.
One Saint burned their vital blood, using a blood escape technique. However, in mere moments, Zhou Qiongtian caught up.
He looked back. Before, there had been seven Saints behind him; now, only he remained.
"Spare me..." Before the Saint could finish his plea, Zhou Qiongtian severed his head.
Thus, all eight Saints who had come to the formation were dead!
Zhou Qiongtian held the Mystic Heaven Sword in one hand and a head that had died with its eyes wide open in the other. Covered in blood, his expression was cold, and steam rose from his body. He looked like a bloodthirsty Demon God, striking fear into everyone present.
The remaining Saint Kings felt a chill run down their spines, a sense of fear arising in their hearts.
"He's just one person, and only at the early Saint King stage. What are you afraid of? Attack him together!" the strongest among the four, a late-stage Saint King, shouted.
The other three Saint Kings seemed to find their backbone. Their bodies trembled, and their eyes gleamed.
That's right, Zhou Qiongtian was alone, and only at the early Saint King stage. What were they afraid of? They had merely been intimidated by the sight of Zhou Qiongtian instantly killing several Saints.
Four against one, the advantage is ours!
The four Saint Kings didn't attack one by one but struck simultaneously. Seeing how Zhou Qiongtian had previously killed Saints at Great Perfection, it was clear he wasn't an ordinary early Saint King cultivator.
Zhou Qiongtian's expression grew slightly solemn. His eyes shifted into Twin Pupils, and the movements of the four Saint Kings slowed down in his sight.
For the first time, Zhou Qiongtian actively channeled the Law of Lightning within him. Compared to the Law Power wielded by Supreme Beings, this wisp of Law of Lightning was like a firefly against the bright moon; it was incomparable.
However, it was still Law Power after all, the power of the Great Dao!
Previously, Zhou Qiongtian's cultivation was too weak to control Law Power, but now, as an early Saint King, he could finally channel this wisp of the Law of Lightning.
It was fortunate that there was only a wisp of the Law of Lightning, otherwise, Zhou Qiongtian wouldn't have been able to control it.
The appearance of the Law of Lightning caused an uproar. The four Saint Kings looked as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes filled with shock.
"This is Law Power that only Supreme Beings can control. How can he, a mere Saint, possess it? This is impossible!"
"Even if he temporarily possesses Saint King combat power, Law Power has no relation to combat power. Am I dreaming? How is this possible!"
"No, this Law Power is very weak!"
As soon as this was said, the other three Saint Kings reacted. It was indeed Law Power, but this small amount wasn't even one percent of the Law Power controlled by Supreme Beings.
They had been too shocked by the appearance of Law Power and had overlooked its unusual nature.
"Hmph! Just a bluff, a trick to scare people. Watch this old man shatter it!" one Saint King snorted and thrust his right palm forward. Saint energy condensed into a giant hand, descending from the sky to smash towards the Law of Lightning.
At this moment, the Law of Lightning transformed into a lightning dragon, baring its ferocious claws and roaring as it charged towards the descending hand. In the next instant, the divine ability wielded by the Saint King was torn apart by the lightning dragon.
Then, the lightning dragon continued its charge towards the Saint King without losing speed. It was incredibly fast, so fast that even a Saint King expert couldn't react. In an instant, the lightning dragon reached the Saint King, opening its massive maw and swallowing him whole.
"What!" The Saint King was greatly alarmed. The lightning dragon was condensed from the Law of Lightning, its entire body comprised of lightning, as was its interior. The endless lightning continuously struck him, instantly leaving the Saint King scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, his body convulsing.
"Quick, save him!" The remaining three Saint Kings jointly attacked the lightning dragon. Three divine abilities struck, and the lightning dragon let out a mournful cry, dissipating into lightning.
The Saint King felt as if he had been reborn, escaping death. How fresh the air was!
The next moment, Zhou Qiongtian, treading on Lightning Step, instantly appeared before the Saint King. With the Law of Lightning added, his Lightning Step's speed was comparable to that of a Saint King at Great Perfection. These four Saint Kings had been focused on the lightning dragon and had overlooked Zhou Qiongtian.
Zhou Qiongtian's sudden attack startled all four Saint Kings. They quickly retreated, clearly still wary of the lightning dragon.
Zhou Qiongtian ignored the other three Saint Kings and looked at the one who had just escaped the lightning dragon's maw. He held a scroll in his hand, which he suddenly unfurled.
A low-grade Venerable artifact, the Heaven and Earth Scroll!
The Heaven and Earth Scroll floated in mid-air, displaying mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, and stars, like a miniature world.
The Saint King expert's heart suddenly pounded, a bad premonition arising within him. In the next moment, an immensely powerful suction force emanated from the Heaven and Earth Scroll. The Saint King, filled with terror, was directly sucked into it.
"Why me again." The Saint King felt utterly hopeless, screaming as he was trapped within the Heaven and Earth Scroll. Unless Zhou Qiongtian voluntarily released him, breaking the scroll would likely not be completed anytime soon.
Zhou Qiongtian looked at the remaining three Saint Kings, his pressure greatly reduced, and a smile of amusement appeared on his face.
The three Saint Kings' expressions darkened. They hadn't expected to be in such a predicament dealing with a Saint; it was utterly ridiculous, beyond comprehension.
Moreover, Zhou Qiongtian was incredibly wealthy. The Heaven and Earth Scroll, the Mystic Heaven Sword—these were already two Venerable artifacts. They, as core elders of super forces, didn't even possess one.
Truly, comparing oneself to others leads to death. They couldn't compare!
