Before the Spirit Saint Dao Realm, numerous powerful figures stood side by side. The three Quasi-Saint and Logo stared at each other, their gazes colliding and creating ripples in the air.
Beneath these ripples, everything in the Great Void was being drawn away, revealing its true nature. Wherever the aftershocks of the four Quasi-Saint' gazes passed, all things faded, as if the world had lost its color. The spiritual energy vanished, and all things, both tangible and intangible, disappeared, leaving only those powerful beings hidden in various spatial dimensions.
The saying "the eye of truth is hard to conceal" perfectly describes the scene before us. What appears to be an ordinary clash of gazes actually conceals unimaginable pupil techniques and supernatural powers. Even Heavenly Venerable would pale in comparison before Quasi-Saint.
A host of Heavenly Venerable and Dao Merging Great Expert revealed themselves, their expressions varying as they looked at the closed Spirit Saint Dao Realm. Many felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
As everyone knows, the Spirit Saint Dao Realm is impossible to breach; otherwise, the supreme inheritance of the Spirit Saint would have been obtained by the three Quasi-Saint long ago.
The fact that the Great Yi Heavenly Venerable hid in the Spirit Saint Dao Realm did indeed leave the Three Sects helpless for a time.
Logically speaking, only spiritual cultivators below the Dao Merging level can enter the Spirit Saint Dao Realm, but the Great Yi Heavenly Venerable is clearly not among them and has special privileges.
This finally convinced many of the most suspicious powerful individuals that the Great Yi Heavenly Venerable must have obtained the inheritance of the Spirit Saint; otherwise, he could not possibly possess such privileges.
"Fellow Daoist, your methods are truly remarkable."
The Demon Ancestor's voice was cold and menacing as he scanned the Spirit Saint Dao Realm with a gaze as sharp as God-Slaying Spear spear, icy and piercing, as if searching for some flaw. Although he knew it was likely futile, he was still unwilling to give up.
With the sacred throne before us, nothing we do is surprising, and we certainly cannot easily abandon it.
"It's nothing more than hiding in the fortress to fend off jackals. What I really want to do is... kill you all!" Logo sighed.
Although the voice sounded calm, an invisible yet terrifying aura swept out, as if the sky were pressing down. Within the Great Void, all the powerful beings who heard the voice felt that supreme power.
Kill Quasi-Saint?!
As expected of the Great Yi Heavenly Venerable, the greatest talent possessed since the beginning of time, his aura was extremely majestic.
Even if it were any other Heavenly Venerable, or even just one of the three Quasi-Saint, they wouldn't have said such a thing.
Upon hearing this, the three Quasi-Saint' gazes grew even colder, but deep within their eyes lay a genuine sense of apprehension. If these words had been spoken by someone else, even Heavenly Venerable, it would have been harmless. The three Quasi-Saint would have simply smiled indifferently, uttered a word of commendable courage, and then paid no further attention.
But the Great Yi Heavenly Venerable is different; he truly possesses this ability, which makes him a force to be reckoned with.
Who says that Quasi-Saint are high above and indifferent like the Heavenly Dao? That's only because no one can threaten them. Once their core interests are touched, let alone Quasi-Saint, even the highest-ranking Saint will be enraged.
They exchanged glances and all three Quasi-Saint could see the tremor in each other's hearts.
Only after the battle did they realize with horror just how terrifying the Great Yi Heavenly Venerable Venerable's talent was.
The three Quasi-Saint possessed undeniably high talent, and were only one step away from obtaining the Spirit Saint inheritance. They had cultivated for at least three hundred Yuanhui without the slightest slackening. Yet, this person before them, who had only been born for a little over a thousand years, was already comparable in strength to them, which was simply terrifying.
It's better for this kind of enemy to be dead for peace of mind.
Even if the Great Yi Heavenly Venerable were to hand over the Spirit Saint's inheritance, the three Quasi-Saint would not allow him to live.
The conflict between the two sides has escalated to a point where it must be fought to the death.
Logo naturally understood this as well.
Within the Dao Realm, his expression remained calm as he surveyed the three Quasi-Saint before him. He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle when he saw the barely concealed anger and apprehension in their eyes, "Neither fighting nor retreating, you're nothing but cowards. With your talents, you've managed to remain at the pinnacle of the Saint Realm for countless years. It seems the saying 'When the cat's away, the mice will play' is quite true."
Although Logo's words were harsh, they were indeed from the heart.
If we only consider the time scale, it's really hard to say whether the years experienced in the Astral Realm or the years experienced in the Spirit Saint Domain are longer or shorter.
But what is the size of the Astral Realm?
What is the size of the Spirit Saint Domain?
The quality of geniuses and strong individuals within both sides also differs greatly.
While differences in cultivation systems certainly play a role, the lack of intense competition within the Spirit Saint Domain, the overly closed nature of cultural exchange, and the tendency to hoard knowledge are also significant contributing factors.
Pride and sloth have always gone hand in hand.
The three Quasi-Saint occupy the pinnacle of the Saint Realm and rule over the Three Sects. While they are Immortal and indestructible, this has also caused their disciples to become complacent and unambitious. In particular, after entering the Saint Realm, many talented individuals have faded into obscurity.
The Astral Realm is different. Various civilizations have risen together, countless geniuses and outstanding individuals have competed for supremacy, information exchange and communication are extremely frequent and smooth, all things under the frosty sky compete freely, and the strong become stronger.
This is the difference in the world.
Or rather, it's a difference in civilization.
No matter where you are, isolation and a loss of ambition are significant factors leading to the decline of civilizations, and this should not be ignored.
"Fellow Daoist is far too arrogant!!" The faces of the three Quasi-Saint, including the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable, turned cold, and their gazes became increasingly indifferent.
What kind of beings are they?! For hundreds and thousands of eons, for billions of years, they have remained high above, unmoved by the rise and fall of countless worlds in both the divine and mortal realms, the changing of mountains and rivers, the trembling of the Great Void, and the passing of eras. How could they ever be so belittled?!
Even though the Great Yi Heavenly Venerable had already proven his strength, the three Quasi-Saint were still seething with rage, wishing they could immediately take action to Destruction the Spirit Saint Dao Realm and kill this fiend here... if they could do that.
Clearly, even a sage of the Three Quasi-Saint could not achieve this.
Thus, they revived the self-control they had cultivated over the centuries, exchanged glances, and barely managed to suppress their anger and murderous intent.
The Buddha clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice, "I did not expect that someone as outstanding as you, Fellow Daoist, would still be so fond of using words. It is easy for you to anger us with your words, but do you not consider the future? Do you think you can stay in this Spirit Saint Dao Realm forever? Once the final tribulation is over and the Tribulation Qi is gone, we will descend to the mortal realm and rebuild the world. At that time, the Great Yi Divine Dynasty will also perish, and everything you have worked so hard for will be reduced to nothing."
"Not only that!!" the Demon Ancestor spoke, his tone chilling. "We also know of a perilous place within the Chaos Sea, where even Saint would perish. While we may be powerless against the Spirit Saint Dao Realm Spirit Saint Dao Realm, that doesn't mean that place is incapable of Destruction."
"Fellow Daoist, do you wish to walk into a dead end?!" The Great Luo Heavenly Venerable spoke last, rebuking him sternly.
