Chapter 1360 It is Time (1/2)

Tai Xuan’s death marked the end of the Stone Dragon Secret Domain battle.

The Sacred Race army’s morale was already crumbling when the all-heavens army launched their crazed counterattack. The scenes of Tai Xuan and the Sacred God phantasm being destroyed had extinguished their will to fight.

Moreover, the elite Sacred Race Law Domain experts had already handed over their vital energy to Tai Xuan earlier. As such, they were currently in a weakened state, making them incapable of resisting the all-heavens army.

What’s more, Tai Xuan’s killer, Zhou Yuan, was closely watching them from the sky. His cold gaze made their hearts shiver, and no one dared to look back in fear that he would notice them.

Hence, they did not hesitate to retreat when they saw the all-heavens army flooding towards them.

The Sacred Race army were now defeated troops.

In the sky, Zhou Yuan’s expression gradually relaxed as he observed the all-heavens army tear into the Sacred Race army. This battle had been extremely dangerous to him. If the sacred dragon blessing had not been made whole again at the most crucial juncture, and enabled him to ascend to the Law Domain stage, they would be the ones who would be desperately fleeing instead.

Tai Xuan was very powerful and had been an exceptionally difficult opponent.

Although he had slain Tai Xuan, his heart could not help but feel somewhat heavy. After repeatedly clashing with the Sacred Race over the years, he felt an increasingly tremendous pressure as he came to experience more and more of their terrifying power.

Moreover, he also understood that everything he had seen so far was merely the tip of the iceberg.

There had been growing friction between the Sacred Race and the all-heavens for the past few years, and he was not the only one who could feel the approaching storm. He knew that it would not be long before the Sacred Race began the second world-ending war.

When that time came, it would be a true storm of blood that no one could avoid.

When the war eventually started, even the Law Domain stage would not be enough to protect his family and friends, especially because of Yaoyao’s special identity.

There would be huge changes in the future and if Zhou Yuan wanted to have the power to influence some of these changes, he would, at the very least, need to reach the Saint stage.

Only by becoming a Saint expert could one consider oneself part of the group that stood at the apex of this world.

Zhou Yuan, your current power is still not enough.

A determined light slowly grew in Zhou Yuan’s eyes.

...

Outside the Stone Dragon Secret Domain, where the all-heavens Saint experts were.

Everyone was in a rather good mood, the Saint experts unable to stop themselves from smiling. Their gazes were filled with admiration as they looked towards a certain young figure in the secret domain.

Even prime sovereign Jin Luo was stroking his long brows as smiled at Cang Yuan and said, “Cang Yuan, your disciple is really amazing. It seems that you won’t be able to escape having a three Saint faction.”

The other Saint experts sighed, a little envy in their eyes as they looked towards Cang Yuan. They were all overlords in the all-heavens that ruled over powerful factions. It was impossible for ordinary matters to draw out such feelings from them, but a three Saint faction was a great accomplishment even for Saint experts like them.

Although the all-heavens Saint experts belonged to the Omega Shrine, it was not completely peaceful within and there were often differing opinions. For example, Cang Yuan had been left with no choice but to steal the Ancestral Dragon Stone Egg, forcing him to hide amidst the countless spatial cracks for many years.

It was because he did not have enough influence.

A triple Saint faction would greatly increase his influence. After all, the close relation between master and disciple would make them far closer than any other group.

While the many Saint experts were giving their congratulations, supreme sovereign Lu Liu’s face twitched. Although he was at loggerheads with Cang Yuan, there was nothing he could do now but keep these bitter and jealous feelings inside.

This should have originally been a stage for his disciple, Xu Beiyan, to shine and gain the favor of many Saint experts. When that happened, numerous precious resources would naturally pour in, improving Xu Beiyan’s odds of becoming a Saint expert.

Who could have imagined that Zhou Yuan would be the one to steal the spotlight instead.

At the thought of Cang Yuan’s triple Saint faction, Lu Liu could feel his face turn green with jealousy and frustration.

Due to the numerous times they had butted heads, he would of course hope for his own disciple to become a Saint expert. When that happened, their influence would surely surpass Cang Yuan’s group.
