Chapter 1966: Invincible Saint (1/2)
Saint was unaffected after hearing Samsara and responded: “Life and death is decided within the blink of an eye, only an actual battle will decide the victor.”
“Old friend, when do I ever fight an uncertain battle? You are far weaker now, but even in your prime, you still might not be able to beat me. Plus, do you think you can kill me even after defeating me? Beating me alone won’t do anything and given your current state, you won’t last for much longer. As for me, I’ll remain eternal while you return to the ashes. That’s not something I want, losing a rival like you, old friend.” Samsara earnestly persuaded.
This showed his utmost confidence that no one in the world right now could kill him, not even Saint.
“If my death can end the darkness, it will be worth it.” There was a trace of coldness in Saint’s calm response.
“The darkness will never cease.” Samsara said: “Even if I, Samsara, were to fall, a second Samsara will appear. Flattening the wildland won’t end the darkness in this world.”
Saint nodded in agreement: “Indeed, I can’t clear them all but I shall do so for the wildland. I was born in this epoch, so did my resolve. Let me end this darkness temporarily.”
“Very well.” Samsara said: “Old friend, if you want to fight, I’ll entertain you then. Few battles will be as amazing as this one. I’m truly excited now. I hope you and your allies won’t disappoint me.”
He turned over at Li Qiye. Surely, this guy wasn’t only going to watch today.
“Let us begin then.” Saint answered with a stately voice.
“Boom!” The two broken wings behind him slowly spread. They looked ordinary when closed but at this moment, they were capable of blotting out the sky.
A holy light erupted from Saint’s body. Each strand of light looked so real and resplendent as if they contained the hope of all living beings in many generations.
A sacred flame rose from behind him, exceeding all temporal and spatial limits. His wings changed completely. They were holy with incomparably sharp feathers resembling divine blades crafted by the heaven. Cutting through darkness and evil was no problem. Its power made evil instinctively tremble. Even if the world was larger, it was still under the cover of his wings and flame.
Saint was mighty now. Each of his gesture could master the universe and rule over the momentum of the epochs. Under his holy power, the G.o.ds and emperors were singing along; all creatures were giving him their blessing and support.
“Buzz.” These holy rays permeated across the entire wildland. The darkness was swept away completely. The overlords slumbering deep below were quaking, afraid that this light would reach them and change their heart of darkness.
For these overlords, they weren’t afraid of being defeated by Saint but his purification affinity was much worse. This was an invincible existence of light staring in the darkness. When their heart of darkness was touched, they would be like moths flying to the flame. Turning to ashes would be the outcome.
Meanwhile, everyone else felt heated up with hope. They felt that the light was so warm and close. Hearts that have turned cold suddenly jumped again with emotions; everyone felt that there was meaning in living!
Emperors themselves were touched by this light as well. If they were born in Saint’s era, they might have joined his banners or become his followers.
Initially, people in the outside world had no clue what was going on due to the curtain of light blocking everything in this deep region.
However, with the appearance of his sacred light, the holy affinity powerfully touched everyone. Even the stubbornly evil felt the urge to drop their blade. This was an intrinsic wish to change because they suddenly found a new appreciation and love for lives.
In just a jiffy, countless cultivators were kneeling on the ground. The waves spread all the way to Pure and even many locations in the thirteen continents. Despite the current barricades, his power still traveled to the distant continents.
This feeling was not fleeting. Many would come to change completely and no longer walk on the evil path in the future.
