Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1099: Chapter 21: Saint Emperor’s Retirement

Wang Sheng reversed his grip and suppressed Chong Xu.

The originally hideous gigantic insect became a harmless, palm-sized chubby white bug.

Yuanhua and other Saint Emperors looked at the suppressed Chong Xu, somewhat surprised.

“Isn’t he… at the Thirteen Realms?”

Previously, Chong Xu demonstrated terrifying power, far exceeding theirs, leaving them without the thought of resistance, only trying to delay time by any possible means.

Therefore, whether it was Yuanhua, Long Yue, the two top-tier Saint Emperors, or other Saint Emperors, all believed Chong Xu might have reached the Thirteen Realms.

They thought Lifeless True Saint had ways to deal with it, but didn’t expect it could be resolved so easily.

Chong Xu had no ability to resist.

Wang Sheng heard Yuanhua’s words, with a hint of mockery, saying, “Thirteen Realms? Although his state is somewhat special, he is still far from the Thirteen Realms.”

He had not seen other Thirteen Realms, but could also judge that Chong Xu definitely was not.

Strictly speaking, Chong Xu’s state is somewhat similar to the Star Beast Ancestor, still in slumber.

There is a good chance for breakthrough, but the fact of not breaking through remains unchangeable.

“So it’s not the Thirteen Realms… then why does he have such formidable strength, could it be there is a special realm between the Twelfth and Thirteen Realms?”

“To be accurate, this is the path of transformation towards the Thirteen Realms, the gap between the Twelfth and Thirteen Realms is too vast, most cultivators can’t gather enough depth, hence have no choice but to proceed like this.” After seeing the breakthrough process of the Star Beast Ancestor and Chong Xu, Wang Sheng also noticed some common breakthrough patterns.

Ordinary cultivators, unlike him, directly relying on the Void Way, lack no depth and can leap directly.

Generally speaking, they will enter the path of transformation like Chong Xu and the Star Beast Ancestor, slowly trying to accumulate.

“So his road indeed can become the Thirteen Realms…”

The Saint Emperors present all had their eyes brightened.

Wang Sheng naturally knew what they were thinking, he coldly smiled, and said, “Heh, I’d advise you not to walk this path, otherwise, you will face celestial consequences, the Starry Sky Rules won’t allow it, or else he will be a lesson for you.”

Saying this, he pinched the palm-sized Chong Xu.

“Didn’t you sense it, that looming sense of crisis, Chong Xu?”

Chong Xu was suppressed but hadn’t been killed yet.

Wang Sheng relieved part of the suppression, allowing Chong Xu to speak.

“The starry sky won’t allow it, how is that possible, earlier the starry sky even healed our injuries…” Chong Xu knew he was bound to die, thus he didn’t plead at all, “Didn’t expect you actually broke through the Thirteen Realms, indeed you are the biggest variable.”

“Healing injuries?” Wang Sheng was slightly taken aback, his Telepathy directly activated, sensing Chong Xu’s thoughts, he somewhat wanted to laugh, “Is there a possibility that what you call the starry sky aiding in healing injuries applies to the entire starry sky, not just you.”

“Then at least it shows, the starry sky hasn’t abandoned us.”

“That’s quite a coincidence, that reward happened just at the time of my breakthrough…”

“What?” Even though Wang Sheng hadn’t finished speaking, Chong Xu understood what that represented.

He thought the supposed starry sky recognition was actually because the starry sky suddenly bestowed gifts centuries ago due to someone breaking through the Thirteen Realms, and that someone happened to be his mortal enemy, Lifeless True Saint.

To him, that was so ironic.

His originally calm heart awaiting death was somewhat shattered.

There is nothing more devastating than this blow.

Wang Sheng did not care about Chong Xu’s thoughts.

He didn’t directly kill Chong Xu, but suppressed him, not for him to die knowing.

But to set an example.

The “monkey”, naturally, are the Saint Emperors present.

“At that time, the starry sky recognized you, but now, that may not be the case, do you believe, if another reward comes, it won’t be related to you, you cannot enjoy any benefits from the starry sky, whether it’s planet advancement or secret treasure, it all has nothing to do with you.”

When Chong Xu embarked on devouring the starry sky to achieve himself, he had already been abandoned by the starry sky, just hadn’t realized it yet.

At this point, Chong Xu was already lost, unable to respond.

But the Saint Emperors present were very interested.

Yuanhua directly asked, “True Saint, why is that, is it because of the devouring of the starry sky?”

They were not ignorant, they had already noticed anomalies with Chong Xu beforehand.

Chong Xu standing there could cause destruction to the starry sky, and it was permanent destruction, this was clearly not normal.

Of course, they couldn’t be sure, hence the question.

And Wang Sheng nodded, and said, “That’s exactly the case, generally speaking, when strong warriors fight causing starry sky destruction, the starry sky will self-repair, but the path taken by Chong Xu will cause permanent irreversible damage, the places devoured will turn into an expanse of chaos, how could the Starry Sky Rules tolerate him.”

This is also the reason why the starry sky issued a warning.

Everyone had different thoughts upon hearing this.

Some had heavy expressions, while others were indifferent.

The indifferent ones had a simple mindset, the fire was not at their doorstep.

After all, some places have nothing to do with our interests at all.

Even if it turned into chaos, the loss wasn’t ours.

But evidently, they were wrong this time, Wang Sheng hadn’t finished speaking.

“Don’t think it has nothing to do with you, permanent destruction, is destroying your own future, I can clearly tell you, the more damaged it is, the harder it will be for you to break through the Thirteen Realms, the fewer breakthroughs there will be, and after breaking through, cultivation will also be slower.”
