Chapter 1420 Saint Perished (2/2)

He evidently didn’t think his plan would fail despite reaching the Saint stage, and he even fell into a hopeless situation.

After staring dazedly for a good while, he finally chuckled out loud and looked at patriarch Cang Xuan and Zhou Yuan. “I thought I would surely win this time. I never thought this would be the outcome.”

“I also never would have thought of such a result ten years ago.”

Patriarch Cang Xuan said indifferently, “In truth, I also didn't think of such a result. However, you didn't lose to me, but to him.”

He naturally was referring to Zhou Yuan.

Patriarch Cang Xuan didn’t expect the chess move he made ten years ago would become a decisive move ten years later.

Palace master Sheng Yuan fell silent. Of course he knew about this, but he just couldn’t accept it. In his eyes, Zhou Yuan was as insignificant as an ant, but the ant, who he never paid much attention to, turned his plan upside down.

“Zhou Yuan, your future achievements may even surpass Cang Xuan.” Palace master Sheng Yuan finally nodded.

However, Zhou Yuan didn't care about his approval and just smiled faintly. “Is this why they say a man’s words are only good when death is near?”

Palace master Sheng Yuan couldn't help chuckling. “It might be true for ordinary people, but that doesn’t include me. I will never regret my decision.”

He stared at Zhou Yuan and patriarch Cang Xuan and said, “I indeed lost this time, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you have won.”

Zhou Yuan and patriarch Cang Xuan narrowed their eyes.

Patriarch Cang Xuan activated the four ancient rings of light without any hesitation to quicken the process.

Sheng Yuan evidently noticed this, but he made no response except a slight smile. It was just that the smile was psychotic.

“Do you know what my ultimate mission is?”

Before the two could say anything, he answered his own question, “My ultimate mission is to obtain the Cangxuan Saint Stamp and become the Heaven Master of Cangxuan Heaven, and then…I will sacrifice the entire Cangxuan Heaven. I will present it to our Sacred God and he would fully awaken and end this world.”

Sheng Yuan's voice wasn’t particularly loud, but Zhou Yuan, patriarch Cang Xuan and other Saints of all-heavens couldn’t stop their expressions from changing dramatically.

No one ever thought Sheng Yuan would have such a crazy plan!

That beast wants to sacrifice the entire Cangxuan Heaven!?

“That crazy man mustn’t be spared!” Killing intent burst forth from patriarch Cang Xuan’s eyes as he exhausted all his strength to activate the Primal Chaos Saint Refining Gourd and caused his already illusory figure to become transparent.

However, as he desperately activated the gourd, the Saint lotus beneath Sheng Yuan rapidly melted and soon his body was exposed to the power of the four rings of light.

However, Sheng Yuan smiled. “It seems I can’t complete my biggest goal, but fortunately, I am prepared for the worst outcome…”

He peered at Zhou Yuan and patriarch Cang Xuan. “I already told you that although I lost, you can't win. Cang Xuan, Zhou Yuan, I hope you will be able to survive the situation. Otherwise, the vast majority of people in Cangxuan Heaven would leave with me.”

He folded his hands together and cracks split his body. Rays of light quickly gathered to form a lotus seal between his eyebrows. However the seal was gradually shattering.

Wind suddenly rose, clouds scudded across the sky and tragic cries rang throughout the world.

When patriarch Cang Xuan and other Saints saw this scene, their pupils readily shrank and they murmured, “The sorrow of heaven and earth. A Saint perished!”
