4. Martial Sainthood Attained: A towering figure reaching millions of zhang manifests, surrounded by the four stellar divine beasts (Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, White Tiger). His Starlight Saint Realm manifests—exceeding one million li in size, dwarfing normal early-stage Martial Saint realms (~100,000 li).

• They are attacked by the ancient ferocious beast Nine Infants, whose strength has reached the limit of the early Martial Saint realm.
• Wu Yuan first uses the Azure Wood Profound Heaven Technique, but Nine Infants easily defeats it and injures him. Su Can then employs a golden true treasure bow, managing to push the beast back but still failing to overcome it.
• Fang Xing, secretly observing the battle, intervenes after Nine Infants senses his presence. His Heaven-Shaking Dharma Form overwhelms the beast’s nine-colored divine world, pierces its body, destroys its Sacred Realm, and kills it outright.
• Fang Xing collects Nine Infants’ corpse and later refines its vital essence. After spending ten billion Enhancement Points, he absorbs the true source of an early-stage Martial Saint, expanding his Starry-Sky Sacred Realm to approximately 2.5 million li and pushing his mana beyond the early Martial Saint limit.
• Fang Xing suspects Su Can and Wu Yuan are searching for heavenly gang and earthly baleful energy, the crucial materials required for Martial Saint breakthroughs.

• Fang Xing demonstrates overwhelming combat power. Although he and the others are technically at similar cultivation levels, he can kill an early-stage Martial Saint-level beast with a single decisive technique, suggesting strength comparable to or exceeding that of a mid-stage Martial Saint.
• Fang Xing also shows restraint and discernment: he does not kill Su Can and Wu Yuan after assisting them, recognizing that they belong to the powerful Sun God Palace and may possess hidden life-saving trump cards.
• His ambition remains focused on rapid advancement. He is pursuing Enhancement Points and seeks a breakthrough to the middle Martial Saint realm, making heavenly gang and earthly baleful energy a non-negotiable prize.
