Chapter 1585: Ouyang Yangwen Breaks Through

The blood-red sun hung in the sky of the World of Forsaken Saints. It shone with a demonic red light and the entire world seemed like it was dyed with blood. Everything in the world was scarlet, making it look corrupted.

At the center of the world, on top of the World Mountains, several Receival experts entered the tunnel to the other world with an elder on. The other end of the tunnel was blocked by the supreme divine hall of Mercenary City, and these Receival experts were going to make the divine hall waste its power faster.

A majestic divine hall stood several million kilometers east of the World Mountains. It silently stood like an ancient, slumbering beast, giving off a suffocating pressure. It was exalted and filled with a dignified presence, standing in the world as if it was inviolable.

The divine hall was the Sacred Spirit Hall, the place that held the most authority in the World of Forsaken Saints. If the entire World of Forsaken Saints was described as an empire, the Sacred Spirit Hall would be the capital city or the imperial palace.

The Sacred Spirit Hall possessed three floors. The first floor was where ceremonies were held while the second floor was where the protector and elders stayed to cutivate. The second floor was divided into an exterior component and an interior component.

The third floor was the most special. Only Spiritkings could enter it, and no elder, including Ouyang Yangwen, had ever set foot on the third floor because there was a restriction at the entrance of the third floor that had existed since ancient times. It did not allow those below Reciprocity to step foot on the third floor.

According to the rules passed down since the ancient times, people would become Spiritkings as long as they reached Reciprocity.

In the very depths of the third floor was a three-hundred-meter-tall statue. Both eyes of the statue had been destroyed, and at the corners of the eyes, there was clear slashes caused by a sword. It was possible to see a gate, which shone with rainbow light, within the statue’s head through the eyes. The scenery within the gate seemed divine. It was a beautiful world filled with origin energy.

The world was not very big. It was only a few hundred square kilometers, not even as large as some cities. However, a figure sat in the center of that beautiful world with strands of powerful origin energy filling his surroundings. Strands of extremely sharp sword Qi would appear within the origin energy from time to time. The strands were also formed from origin energy, but they became even more powerful after becoming sword Qi.

The figure was the Spiritking. Over the past three years, he had remained cultivating in that divine world.

He had not broken through after three years and remained at mid Reciprocity, but he was extremely close to late Reciprocity.

“Jian Chen, you possessed the strength of a Receival expert the first time I saw you. When I saw you a second time, you could beat Xiong Zhong. The next time will be when we truly meet each other. I hope you can give me the same surprise the next time I see you.” As the Spiritking cultivated, he was eager—eager to fight Jian Chen the next time they met because Jian Chen was the only other person he knew that had comprehended the Way of the Sword.

The Spiritking did not attack the supreme divine hall because he knew that he could not quickly smash through the divine hall. He would much rather spend his time cultivating so that he could smash through the divine hall in a single stroke. He would rather not waste his origin energy pointlessly nor enter a battle of attrition with the people of the other world.

At the same time, Xiong Zhong and Ouyang Yangwen had also entered seclusion in the floor below. Ouyang Yangwen had remained at late Returnance for several thousand years now, so after three years of cultivation, his strength surged toward the peak late Returnance. He was only a single step away from Reciprocity.

However, the difference between Reciprocity and Returnance was an entire cultivation realm. Ouyang Yangwen needed to bide his time before erupting in order to break through, so he had remained stuck during the past three years and had not reached Reciprocity yet.

Only until after another six years did a pulse of energy suddenly surge from where Ouyang Yangwen was cultivating. The tremendous presence that came with the pulse enveloped the entire second floor in a single moment, causing a storm of energy. The energy only rampaged through the second floor. It did not reach the first or third floor, so the Spiritking felt nothing.

The other cultivating protectors and elders were all roused. Under the tremendous presence, all of them felt like they were suffocating. They seemed to feel a tremendous pressure weighing down on their organs while a huge mountain rested on their backs. They felt their bodies become heavy and found moving very difficult.

“It’s elder Ouyang! Elder Ouyang has broken through!” A Returnance elder cried out. His voice was filled with joy.

“No, you shouldn’t call him elder Ouyang. He’s a Spiritking. He’s Spiritking Ouyang.” Another Returnance expert corrected. He too was filled with joy.

They both were on Ouyang Yangwen’s side, so they were obviously extremely exhilarated. However, the elders on Xiong Zhong’s side all became very stern.
