Heavenly Sword Martial Saint Was Peerless

The words of the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint had just fallen.

The entire hall was silent, and bright gazes were all fixed on Zhan Tian Martial Saint, or rather, on those few half-step Divine Ability Realm experts. To some extent, these five people could almost determine the future direction of the martial world.

The ancient sages already knew most of the truth; they were simply looking forward to what would happen next.

But the new saints were somewhat uneasy.

There are many things they don't know yet.

There is only a few scattered pieces of information.

Now, they finally have the opportunity to come into contact with the truth of the world.

The Martial Saint of Heaven-Slaying surveyed the crowd and slowly spoke:

"You knew before, right? Outside our martial world, there is a formidable enemy called the Mountain and Sea Realm!"

"..."

He spoke slowly and deliberately, word by word.

The story begins with the appearance of the deadly poison, followed by the invasion of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the revival of the world's will, and the eternal plans of the saints.

One bombshell after another left the new Saints dizzy and disoriented. Knowing that the enemy from beyond the world was so powerful, they couldn't help but feel despair, and an unprecedented sense of urgency rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Even Dao Mo and the others were shaken, and they couldn't help but look at Ning Qi.

Seeing Ning Qi's calm demeanor, they inexplicably calmed down as well.

Ning Qi was listening as well.

What the Martial Saint said was largely the same as what the old Xuan Turtle said, but it included many more poignant stories from High Antiquity times, which moved him somewhat. In addition, he was also observing the expressions of the people around him, trying to find some flaws, but unfortunately, apart from the stunned silence of the new saints, he found nothing else.

The hall was silent, save for the heavy breathing of the new saints.

Zhan Tian Martial Saint gave everyone some time to calm down and process this information before continuing:

"I know you are under immense pressure right now, but this is a battle for survival, and we have no way out! If we don't fight, we will die! At that time, billions of people in the martial world will be destroyed along with the martial world; there will be no other outcome!"

His voice was cold, making everyone realize the seriousness of the situation and the necessity of fighting with all their might.

"However, we are not without a chance. Although the Mountain and Sea Realm is powerful, we also have our own advantages."

"The will of the world!"

Zhan Tian Martial Saint stood up, his voice carrying a hint of fanaticism.

" In High Antiquity times, the world's will revived, helping us repel the enemies from the Mountain and Sea Realm. Now, after tens of thousands of years, we have, at the cost of concealing our Spirituality, allowed the world's will to return to its peak, even surpassing its former glory!"

"We can all receive the blessing of the world's will and advance further. With the added support of the world's power, we may well be able to defeat the enemy once again."

His impassioned speech stirred the blood of all the Martial Saint, as if they had returned to the glorious days of High Antiquity times.

Ning Qi, however, had a sudden thought.

He knew.

This Martial Saint Tournament is definitely not just about gathering the Martial Saint together. If the goal was simply to tell everyone the truth about the world, there would be no need for such a complicated process.

really.

As Zhan Tian Martial Saint spoke, the ancient saints all instinctively sat up straight, including the previously lazy Black Blood Devil Lord.

The Great Flame Martial Saint, who had been silent until now, finally spoke:

"The Martial Saint is right. The reason we have summoned you here today is not only to tell you the truth about the world, but also to gather everyone's strength to awaken the world's will high above. According to our calculations, five days from now will be the day when the power of the Thunder Forbidden Zone in the high heavens weakens."

"With the invasion of the Mountain and Sea Realm imminent, the world's will has been restored. By awakening it ahead of time and receiving its blessing, we can elevate our strength."

Everyone nodded.

A burst of laughter broke the atmosphere, and the Black Blood Devil Lord said lazily:

"Why waste time on useless talk? We're not here to play house. Let's get straight to the point and discuss how to distribute the power of blessing after awakening the world's will."

That's right.

The power of the world's will to bestow blessings naturally has an upper limit; otherwise, if it could bestow blessings infinitely, there would be no need to worry about the invasion of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Upon hearing this statement...

All the saints' eyes flickered.

Although we now face a common enemy, who wouldn't want to share more of the blessed power, thus increasing their chances of survival in the great battle to come? Even when faced with a greater cause, everyone has their own selfish desires, and truly selfless saints are few and far between.

The Martial Saint Tian glanced at the direction of the Black Blood Devil Lord with his empty eyes, and then said indifferently:

"Since ancient times, rewards have been distributed according to contributions. However, considering the special circumstances today, in order to maximize benefits, let's distribute them according to cultivation level. This way, it will be even better if our martial arts world has a few more powerful figures. What do you all think?"

Everyone nodded slowly.

Most of the ancient sages had no objections. After all, to some extent, cultivation level was equivalent to contribution. The stronger the cultivation level, the greater the contribution made in the past. Only a few people with high contribution level but low cultivation level looked a little ugly, but they had no choice.

Ultimately, this world is still a dog-eat-dog world.

This is an eternal truth.

As for the new saints, they had even less objection.

Whether based on contribution or cultivation level, they were not ranked high enough, so being able to receive a share of the blessing power to improve their cultivation was already considered quite good.

The Black Blood Devil Lord laughed loudly:

"That's exactly right!"

As he spoke.

An overwhelming aura erupted, causing everyone's hearts to tremble. This was an attempt to publicly display his power and win everyone's respect.

Then.

All sages followed a model.

One by one, they unleashed their auras.

Fifth and fourth realms were everywhere. At this moment, no one held back their abilities, as this was related to the distribution of blessings. Hiding now would be a thankless task.

In a sea of power.

The new saints were all trembling with fear.

They were generally at the first realm of cultivation, with only a very few two or three reaching the second realm through special means. As for anything higher, there were none. Now that all the saints were unleashing their full power, they were like huskies mixed in with wolves.

Ning Qi raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and then decided to reveal his cultivation as a fifth-level Martial Saint.

He wasn't particularly interested in the so-called blessing of the world's will. After all, he would eventually have to merge with the world's will anyway, and once he became a realm master, this slight increase in cultivation would be nothing. He was only attending the Martial Saint Tournament to protect the world's will and prevent any accidents from happening.

"He's actually reached the fifth realm?" Old Bai Shan's heart skipped a beat, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

Breaking through four fortuitous opportunity in a single day on the day of the Spirituality awakening was one thing, after all, that was a special case. But now, breaking through another realm in such a short time and coming to be on par with me is simply outrageous!

"This guy is truly a prodigy!"

The old Daoist priest of Bai Shan smiled bitterly to himself.

Because he knew that Ning Qi's fifth realm was probably not the same as his own, and that he might be killed with a wave of his hand, a terrible thought arose in his mind: Could it be that even Zhan Tian Martial Saint and the others were no match for Ning Qi?

The saints were all sizing each other up.

When they realized that Ning Qi was actually at the fifth level, some people who were unaware of the situation were taken aback. After all, it was widely rumored that Ning Qi was on par with Zhan Tian Martial Saint, so they naturally assumed that Ning Qi was also a strong person at the first level of the half-step Divine Ability Realm.

But now it seems, could it be that the Martial Saint who slayed the heavens held back back then?

The Black Blood Devil Lord stared at Ning Qi for a moment, then grinned, a smile carrying an inexplicable meaning.

The aura of all the saints has been fully unleashed.

The Great Flame Martial Saint spoke:

"As you all witness, after awakening the world's will, you will receive the energy baptism in order of your current cultivation level. The half-step Divine Ability Realm will be in the core area, the Five Elements Perfection Realm will be in the secondary core area, and the Five Realms Martial Saint will be next."

His words were reasonable and well-founded, and the crowd nodded slowly.

But then they heard the Martial Saint of Heaven Slaying suddenly say:

I feel there's something wrong with that.

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

He continued:

"The Heavenly Sword Martial Saint's cultivation cannot be judged by ordinary standards. I once exchanged blows with him, and he possesses combat strength at the half-step Divine Ability Power Realm level. If he were to receive the blessing from the core area, his cultivation would advance even further, which would be more beneficial to the martial world."

In an instant.

All eyes were fixed on Ning Qi.

This is the first time the Martial Saint has publicly acknowledged Ning Qi's strength, making it a completely different matter.

The fifth-realm Martial Saint and several Martial Saint who Perfection of the five elements were somewhat indignant. After all, it had just been agreed that the blessings would be distributed according to cultivation level, but in the blink of an eye, they were given special treatment. It seemed unfair. However, they quickly suppressed their resentment. They knew that they had no say in this matter.

And that is indeed the case.

Zhan Tian Martial Saint's words were not directed at them, but at the other four half-step Divine Ability Realm experts.

Once they agree, it doesn't matter if everyone else objects.

The old black tortoise remained silent.

He had originally intended to speak up for Ning Qi, but now that Zhan Tian Martial Saint had brought it up first, he naturally wouldn't refuse. He chuckled and said:

"The Heavenly Sword Martial Saint's Martial Saint make sense. His talent is unparalleled, and his combat power is incomparable. If he had been born earlier, even we old folks might not be a match for him. If he could receive the blessing of the world's will and reach the Divine Ability Realm in one fell swoop, he would surely play a huge role in blocking the invasion of the Mountain and Sea Realm!"

Two of the five top experts have already agreed.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

But immediately, a strange, sarcastic voice rang out:

"Tsk, changing policies every morning and evening is not a good thing. We just said that the blessings would be received according to cultivation level, and now it's being changed because of him. There's no such rule. I object."

Everyone looked over.

The Black Blood Devil Lord stood leisurely with his arms crossed, his posture relaxed, while Wang Quan and the Demon Sect Master behind him showed a hint of pleasure in their eyes, and they were even more respectful to the Black Blood Devil Lord.

"Goddess, what do you think?" the Black Blood Devil Lord asked with a grin.

The South Sea Divine Nun's eyes flickered slightly. She first glanced apologetically at Ning Qi, then said seriously:

"The power of the world's will is not inexhaustible. We previously calculated that the blessing at the core could allow the five of us to reach the Divine Ability Realm. If there were one more person, I wonder if anything would change."

"Fellow Sword Dao possesses unparalleled talent. If he were to receive the blessing in the secondary core area, he would most likely be able to step into the half-step Divine Ability Realm. At that time, he should also have strength approaching the Divine Ability Realm. This would be the best of both worlds."

This statement is also a veiled form of opposition.

The expressions on everyone's faces turned strange.

Of the five most powerful individuals, two agreed and two disagreed.

That left only the last one.

Great Flame Martial Saint.

The Great Flame Martial Saint glanced at the group, then at Ning Qi, and finally said calmly:

You decide.

He actually abstained.

This immediately disappointed Daoist Longshan and Dao Mo and the others, who had been full of expectations. They had hoped that Ning Qi could gain greater benefits, which would be good for both the martial arts world and Ning Qi.

Ning Qi remained calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

He could only sigh inwardly, thinking that infighting seemed to be in the nature of Human Race, and even in such a critical moment, it was still impossible to truly unite as one.

but.

He really didn't care about this blessing power.

But now the situation is a bit awkward. Of the five top experts, two agree, two disagree, and one abstains, and no decision can be made.

The Martial Saint of Heaven's empty gaze swept over the South Sea Goddess and the Black Blood Devil Lord, containing a certain oppressive aura.

The former smiled apologetically, but the white jade bottle in his hand continued to glow faintly, clearly unaffected.

The latter simply snorted coldly:

"Zhan Tian, stop with that nonsense. Since we're at a stalemate, let's just call it a day to avoid wasting time. The invasion from the Mountain and Sea Realm is imminent, and we can't afford to waste a single moment."

"Furthermore, you say this person has the same strength as us? Who knows if there's some hidden reason behind it?"

He was surrounded by black mist, and his eyes were arrogant and unrestrained.

He acted recklessly in High Antiquity times, and he is even more so now. Anyway, with a formidable enemy from the Mountain and Sea Realm around, no one else dares to say anything.

Zhan Tian Martial Saint's gaze sharpened, his empty eyes almost radiating divine light.

These words were tantamount to questioning the impartiality of his title of Martial Saint of Heaven-Slaying, which was undoubtedly a challenge to his authority.

This is a veiled criticism that there is some kind of deal between him and Ning Qi.

But he hadn't said anything yet.

A soft voice rang out first:

"You mean, you don't think I have the strength of a half-step Divine Ability Power Realm cultivator?"

Inside the main hall.

The young Daoist priest stood up for the first time, his white Daoist robe fluttering slightly, exuding an extraordinary aura. The Martial Saint were shocked, especially the Martial Saint Mad Thunder and a few others, who seemed to recall Ning Qi's invincible demeanor that day.

Ning Qi was somewhat displeased.

Indeed, he doesn't care about this so-called blessing from the world's will, but while he may not need it, others cannot take it from him.

This Black Blood Devil Lord has been taking advantage of us, and if we don't say anything soon, people might think he's afraid.

Furthermore...

He sensed something strange about the current situation, and that getting involved might expose some clues. He hadn't forgotten his other purpose for coming here.

Ning Qi's gaze was fixed on the past, as if divine swords were piercing through the air, and the Martial Saint all felt an extremely powerful Sword Intent rising up.

The Black Blood Devil Lord was taken aback at first, then burst into wild laughter:

You want to fight me?

Ning Qi remained silent, his hands clasped behind his back, and he stood firmly in the void above Mount Tianding. His gaze pierced through the void, landing on the Black Blood Devil Lord, and his indifferent voice resounded throughout Mount Tianding:

"Get up here yourself."
