Chapter 430: Collapsing of the Heart of Saint Dao

As Jiang Ming stretched out his hands and grabbed on, the black spear merely trembled before coming to a sudden halt, caught in his grip.

This was the Infinite Vessel Manipulation Technique.

Even if he didn’t evoke this technique, it wasn’t difficult for him to suppress the long spear. Evoking the technique merely made it looked as though he was doing an unimaginable feat with ease.

“Great technique!” Bai Zizai’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t help exclaiming.

“Brother Jiang is really amazing!” Riyue Changfeng lamented emotionally.

This spear was obviously a Saint Weapon. It was infused with supreme power that almost awakened all its power, but was suppressed by Jiang Ming as though it was nothing.

How incredible was that?

“It’s just small trickery!” Jiang Ming smiled indifferently. His gaze suddenly focused, integrating his supreme will into the spear. It turned into a sword luminance, breaking through layers of barriers, cracking the infinite restrictions and reaching the internal core of the spear, wiping off the imprint that Tai Yuan had left inside.

The Dao of Soul was very effective against Saint Weapon.

Tai Yuan, who was in the depths of the endless starry sky, had a shocked expression on his face. His body froze as he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes widened immediately.

“How is this possible to grab a Saint Weapon bare-handed, and to destroy my imprint with just a thought? Has he sanctified Dao already? Why is there no heteromorphism to it? Such might…”

Tai Yuan had a look of despair on his face.

He was also decisive. As soon as he turned around, he tore apart the void and went straight towards the World’s fetal membrane, ready to escape into the Chaos. Right that moment, he felt a supreme will descending onto him, directly suppressing him and forcefully moved him towards their direction.

Over at the battlefield, Linglong suddenly shivered as her face turned extremely pale.

She was locked on just now. That streak of luminance made her seem as though she had just witnessed death. A sense of enlightenment suddenly rose in her heart as she couldn’t withstand or even defend herself from that attack.

She failed to react to the attack as soon as possible and was initially done for.

However, she immediately realized that Jiang Ming already suppressed the long spear. She let out a breath of relief and her eyes were red in anger. “Damn it! All of you! Die!”

Linglong evoked the Celestial Soul Bell with all her strength. The ten Quasi-Sage, ten bodies of a single entity flared out at the same time, bringing their power to the peak.

The Celestial Soul Bell that had merged together shook suddenly. It emanated waves of ripples, followed by a deafening ringing of the bell.

Thump…

With a deafening thump, the void cracked open, and was suppressed again. It felt as though the void became a shattered mirror that had countless cracks on it but remained in place. Only the deafening sound and ripples of energy quickly spread towards the enemy.

Boom…

The dozen or so Quasi-Sages in front were all blasted into a distance.

There were eight of them whose head directly exploded from the attack and their primal spirit annihilated on the spot. The rest of the experts other than Chong Shan, all bled from their seven orifices. All of them had an ugly expression on their faces. They immediately turned into streams of luminance and quickly fled towards the distance.

“Trying to escape? Too late! Die!” Linglong went into a frenzy.

She evoked the bell again, setting off endless waves of torrents. The attacks directly locked onto the experts’ primal spirits. Bloodcurdling shrieks could be heard as one by one, their head exploded or their body stiffened, falling to the ground.

In the end, only two people were still alive from the attack. One of them was Chong Shan, while the other was a later stage Quasi-Sage old man who had a primal spirit defensive Dao vessel.

“Die!” Linglong, who was in a frenzy, was especially terrifying.

She didn’t use other Dao vessels but evoked the Celestial Soul Bell again. The soul vibration echoed through, piercing through the layers of void and killing the old man with one swift blow.

As for Chong Shan? He didn’t escape and simply had a look of despair on his face.

It was also right this moment, Tai Yuan appeared out of thin air and landed right beside Chong Shan.

“Main Body!” Chong Shan opened his mouth, but his face was filled with bitterness.

Now that the situation had come to this point, he knew that everything had been exposed. He knew that he was finished.

Tai Yuan could feel the energy that was shackling him disappearing. He glanced at Chong Shan and then looked over at Jiang Ming. With a complicated expression, he asked, “Have you sanctified Dao?”

“Should be!” Jiang Ming nodded and asked with curiosity, “I still couldn’t understand. Why do you keep eyeing the Tianyuan Realm all this while?”

More and more experts were gathering around to watch the battle. However, they were all in a state of shock. They were shocked by how terrifying Linglong was, to be able to kill off dozens of Venerates at the flick of a finger. Those were the heritage of the known ten great ancient clans and they were now gone just like that.

They were also shocked at how terrifying Jiang Ming was.

That long spear was obviously a Saint Weapon! Who could even stand against it? Yet, Jiang Ming actually grabbed it in his hands?”

Damn! They were wondering whether this was just a dream?

Soon after, Tai Yuan himself emerged. This was his true self. His appearance was the same as the Heavenly Emperor. Many of the experts recognized him from his look and were all horrified and grimaced wryly.

It turned out that Jiang Ming’s remarks were all true. The Heavenly Emperor was not dead, but was hiding in the dark, plotting everything, in an effort to completely grasp all of the infinite realm in his hands.

Damn it! This old fox! If it weren’t because of Jiang Ming, who would’ve been able to stop him?

Also, that Great Demon Venerate really died in vain! Who would’ve thought that the dignified Great Demon Venerate, who had such high ambitions, would be plotted against and brought to the ground?

As if these weren’t enough, what did Tai Yuan just say? Jiang Ming had sanctified the path of Dao? Every expert, including the Heavenly Buddha, was instantly shocked.

“My younger brother has sanctified Dao already?” Mountain Master Tian Yuan’s voice was trembling.

Alas! Sanctifying the path of Dao meant that Jiang Ming was now a Saint! The Human Race finally got a Saint?

“Sanctified Dao and became a Saint?” Great Monarch Wan Lian was rather lost.

“Senior brother! Have you really sanctified Dao?” Linglong was very shocked and later turned ecstatic.

Right this very moment, all eyes were on Jiang Ming, where some were filled with shock and apprehension, while others were filled with envy, jealousy and fear. Most of them however, were very fervent about Jiang Ming’s achievement.

Yes, it was the fervent of Jiang Ming advancement into the Saint Realm.

This was because ever since the birth of the seven Saints, there wasn’t another Saint that appeared in their world from that point on.

Even though the seven Saints had left the place for who knows how many years, there was still not a single Saint that emerged. This led to many experts’ despair.

Now that there was a Saint emerging into the world, would this mean that the path towards the Saint was still viable?

Tai Yuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he frowned. “Based on my understanding, seven Saints is the limit of a Great Chiliocosm. Otherwise, I would have been able to sanctify the path of Dao a long time ago with my foundation. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have to dogmatize the world, and make my words the law, so that I’ll have all the fortune of the heavens to break into the Saint Realm, which caused me to reach such a point in time.”

“What you said is correct, yet incorrect at the same time.” Jiang Ming explained slowly.

The surrounding experts all perked up their ears to listen. After all, this was a secret regarding the path of Saint Dao.

“Generally speaking, there can only be seven Saints born in a great chiliocosm. The realm wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure if there was any more than that.” Jiang Ming then continued, “This is considered a self-restriction mechanism of the realm. If there’s a restriction, then breaking them apart would mean that we can lift the restriction, naturally allowing us to sanctify the path of Dao. Am I right, Brother Bai?”

“Almost.” Bai Zizai said with a smile, “There is a limit to what the great chiliocosm can carry after all. Once the Throne of the Saint is completely filled, unless one of the Saints is dead and his Heavenly Heart Imprint in the realm disappears, it will be difficult for another person to advance into the Saint Realm. It’s hard, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. For example, a person can enter the Chaos and sanctify the path of Dao with strength; another example would be to forcibly break the worlds’ shackles and leave your imprint on it; a third example would be to embark into the Sea of Chaos.”

“I have tried the first two methods, but they were both useless!” Tai Yuan had a confused look on his face as he continued, “The Chaos is full of chaotic torrents so violent that it is impossible for a person to comprehend their Dao there, let alone to improve their cultivation base. I also tried fusing my clones together and forcibly breaking through my cultivation base, but it was still useless; the same is true within the realm. With my foundation and my accumulation of resources over the years, if it was feasible, I would’ve been able to sanctify the path of Dao.”

“You are too arrogant.” Jiang Ming laughed. “You have created three clones and it can be said that you are extremely talented. However, your foundation is still too poor, your vision is too short, and your accumulation is still insufficient. All in all, you still haven’t accumulated enough. To sanctify the path of Dao in the Chas is to forcibly break through with your physical body and forge an immortal body. To break free the shackles of within the realm means being able to comprehend the terrifying techniques that could pierce through the whole realm itself. This is also considered another way for sanctifying the path of Dao with strength.”

“That’s right!” Bai Zizai nodded, “In this realm, your accumulation seems to be terrifying, but compared with a real genius, you are still far behind. If you want to forcibly sanctify the path of Dao and break the rules of the iron law, you must possess the strength to fight against the ordinary Saint and emerge undefeated while you are still in the Demi-Sage Realm.”

“Let’s take the current you as an example. If you were to fight head on against Ms Linglong, you might not be able to defeat her even if you have a Holy Weapon at hand.” Bai Zizai commented unceremoniously and continued, “It might seem that you almost killed her just now, but it was a sneak attack. When she was facing a dozen Quasi-Sage Experts, her mind was already highly concentrated in the battle. You merely took advantage of it.”

“My accumulation is still insufficient?” Tai Yuan opened his mouth. Confused in everything, there were more doubts forming in his mind.

“It’s far from enough!” Jiang Ming intercepted and continued, “While I was in the Taiyi Realm, I was already able to cut down a Demi-Sage Expert. If that’s the case, do you think your accumulation is enough?”

“Slaying the Demi-Sage Expert at Taiyi Realm?” Tai Yuan’s eyes instantly widened.

“That’s impossible!” Yun Feiyan also exclaimed.

Jiang Ming smiled and did not explain further.

“It’s possible.” Bai Zizai had a solemn expression on his face as he continued, “Even if we are unable to do so, it doesn’t mean that others can’t. It seems that I am starting to understand now.”

He looked at Jiang Ming with his eyes blazing. “Hong Zhan was overwhelmed by you!”

In response, Jiang Ming gave him a thumbs up.

Bai Zizi grinned.

His heart of Saint Dao trembled and almost collapsed.

Who was Hong Zhan? The contemporary most talented expert of the Hong Clan in the Sea of Chaos. Equipped with the Hongmeng Warrior Body, he was an existence who had great chances to advance into the King Saint Realm in the future, and even had the chances of breaking through into much higher realms than that.

However, to think that this normal human being was able to actually suppress him? Yun Zizai felt very surreal.
