Meanwhile, the Saints of the myriad heavens watched in shock.
Taishang Saint suddenly opened his eyes, disbelief written all over his face.
"What... is that aura?"
As the foremost of the Three Pure Ones, Taishang Saint was naturally more familiar than anyone with the aura of the Three Pure Ones.
Yet just now, when Venerable Yuanshi had seized the Dragon Emperor, the aura he used had been more than just Jade Purity Qi.
"It's been ages since we last met."
"My second brother seems... different."
The more Taishang Saint thought about it, the more tightly his brows furrowed.
He could sense that something was off about Venerable Yuanshi's aura, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what.
Seeing this, Saint Tongtian's expression turned razor-sharp. Sword Qi surged around him, and he couldn't help muttering in shock:
"What the hell is that thing on Yuanshi?"
With his keen eye, he had naturally noticed that something was wrong with Venerable Yuanshi.
"I don't know."
"I wonder if my disciple can still stand against Yuanshi."
At the thought, Tongtian's heart tightened.
Before, Qin Mu had been able to defeat Venerable Yuanshi.
But now, Venerable Yuanshi seemed to have become different from how he used to be.
In particular, the aura emanating from him had become powerful and bizarre. Even a Saint could hardly fathom it.
"Phew..."
After a moment's thought, Saint Tongtian took a deep breath, a glint of resolve flashing in his eyes.
If Qin Mu proved unable to prevail, then as his master, Tongtian would step in to help.
After seeing the drastic change in Venerable Yuanshi's aura, the Two Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, both turned pale.
"Senior Brother."
"What's going on with Yuanshi's aura?"
"The energy flowing through him is no longer pure Jade Purity Qi!"
"And..."
Zhunti paused
