Chapter 1204 Kill Lis (1/2)

Countless murderous gazes pierced through the barrier, locking onto Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan’s expression could not help but change. Sure enough, he had stirred up a hornet’s nest this time, and even the Sacred Race Saints had been angered. However, he had no regrets, especially since they stood on opposing sides. If he was given another chance to redo things, he would still exterminate the Sacred Race side without hesitation.

However, this now put him under an overwhelming amount of pressure.

“Humph, what arrogance!” A snort filled with anger sounded from deep in the dark space. “Although your Sacred Race is powerful, we five heavens are no pushovers. If you really want to fight, we’ll gladly accompany you till the end. As for handing him over, keep dreaming!”

Giant glowing silhouettes appeared from the darkness. No one could see their features clearly, but from the boundless power that pulsed from them, everyone instinctively knew that their every action could drastically reshape the world around them.

These were the five heavens Saints!

It was obviously impossible for the five heavens to agree to the Sacred Race’s request. Although Zhou Yuan’s actions had hurt the Sacred Race, it was a huge contribution towards the five heavens.

Hence, no matter what happened, the five heavens Saints would do everything to protect Zhou Yuan at this juncture.

The alternative of handing him over in front of countless five heavens residents would only destroy their hearts.

With Saints on both sides releasing their pressure, the domain rippled violently. Numerous non-Saints, even the Law Domain experts, could only grimly prepare themselves for the worst under the tremendous pressure.

If the Saints were to clash, the rest of them would be akin to fishes in a storm.

However, as the pressure grew greater and greater, endless light suddenly converged on the five heavens side, forming an enormous mysterious face.

The face’s features were blurry and indistinct, but when it appeared, the entire domain seemed to wail as if unable to bear its presence.

The five heavens Saints were surprised by the appearance of the face. They quickly placed their palms vertically to their chests and greeted, “Prime sovereign Jin Luo.”

Zhou Yuan was astonished by this scene and could not help but ask Zhuan Zhu in a low voice, “Senior brother, who is that?”

An entity so respected by the numerous Saints present was clearly no ordinary existence.

“Prime sovereign Jin Luo...triple lotus Saint…” Zhou Yuan felt his mouth dry up. The triple lotus stage was the pinnacle of the Saint stage, the true apex practitioners of this world. IT was no wonder even the many Saints present were so respectful.

Zhou Yuan could not stop himself from asking, “What is the Omega Shrine?”

Zhuan Zhu smiled and said, “It is not something you should know of at your current level, but I will make an exception. It is a place and group founded by the three prime sovereigns that only Saints are allowed into. You may take it as the highest level of protection for the five heavens.

“It does not belong to any of the heavens, and will not interfere in the affairs between any factions. Only when it is time to resist the Sacred Race will they send out a call to arms.”

Zhou Yuan nodded in understanding. A group only Saints were qualified to join. The Omega Shrine was evidently created to resist the Sacred Race, and united the strongest powers in the five heavens in order to do so.

Zhuan Zhu continued, “All Saints have equal status in the group and even the three prime sovereigns are not higher ranked than the others. However, they are the oldest and the other Saints will naturally give them more respect. At the same time, they also protect all contributions done for the five heavens and are worthy of respect.”

Zhou Yuan nodded again. It seems that these three prime sovereigns were the strongest existences of the five heavens.

“Does the Sacred Race have many Saints at that level?” Zhou Yuan was as curious as a new-born baby. After all, it was usually very difficult to find out about such information that only Saints like Zhuan Zhu were privy to. Since there was a chance, he naturally intended to ask as much as he could.
