I can return to the age of mysterious
Chapter 984 - 984 Above the Saint Fist (4000)

Chapter 984: Above the Saint Fist? (4000) Chapter 984: Above the Saint Fist? (4000) It wasn’t just the location of the Southern Dipper Sacred Fist practitioners.

Casio also saw places far more distant, regions in the World of Calamities that were highly representative, each with their own characteristics and oddities.

For example, the Pale Land, the Deathly Quiet Rain Area, the Despair Bone Forest, the Jet-black Mountains and Rivers, the Scarlet Lake, the Rotten Marsh, the Crystal Sand Sea, etc. At the core of each region, there was a Calamity Source that, like a fountain, recklessly dispersed power. This led to the birth of countless dark creatures upon the mother beds of disasters, making the calamities of the Inner World even denser.

This was something that could neither be stopped nor ended. The fragments of the meteorites from beyond the sky possessed unimaginable power, apparently linked to a terrifying ocean in some unknown place. After piercing the earth of the Inner World, the calamities erupted from the spring like a geyser, continuing from the Ancient Era until now.

And undoubtedly, the multitude of Calamity Sources was lethal, despairing.

The ancient sages and Sacred Fist practitioners of the Ancient Era had tried to close the Calamity Source Springs. But without exception, they all failed. As long as the concept of the Devil Well of Xiadu existed as an aggregate, the Calamity Source Springs were impossible to stop. Even if Xiadu was sealed, it would be of no avail.

Therefore, the human camp must have a method to effectively restrain the Calamity Sources. And this method was unimaginably cruel.

The Calamity Source Springs were unending and continuously erupting, growing at every moment. Was there something of a similar nature? Yes…

The ultimate realm of Secret Martial Art practitioners, the Sacred Fist!!!

For every Fighter who reached the level of Sacred Fist, his Qi would transcend the physical body and the limits of its shell to become a gatherer of Boxing Method intent and bearer of personality memories.

The Qi of the Sacred Fist was always growing, always expanding outward. Its Qi had unique transmissibility and reproduction characteristics, like some microorganisms that reproduce asexually, dividing one into two.

From certain perspectives, the Sacred Fist could also be seen as a kind of source, a small Qi source. Of course, this ‘small’ is in contrast to the Calamity Source; if it were a natural source, then the Sacred Fist that had reached a certain realm could be compared to the source of a great river.

The method of the ancient sages was to use the Sacred Fist as a movable Qi source to face the Calamity Sources of the World of Calamities! Since it was impossible to seal or destroy them completely, they could only consume their power in a frenzy!

Unending Qi collided with and annihilated the unending calamities.

This was a very dangerous and very cruel matter.

If a Sacred Fist chose to consume himself against a Calamity Source, he would be bound next to it, unable to leave before finding a successor.

The robust power accumulated in the body was constantly being consumed. All that met the eye were nurseries of disaster, were dark creatures, as if in a Rakshasa Hell.

Even for a Sacred Fist whose Boxing Method intent had reached the pinnacle, did they have the resolve to persist for hundreds or even thousands of years in a desolate and terrifying hell? They were like torches, burning their own power, fighting against a night with no known end!

This was sad, yet great.

If it weren’t for these Sacred Fists restraining the Calamity Source Springs, the Real World would already be a hellish scene. It would be impossible for the human society to still dominate as it does now, with dark creatures, though active, only being able to move in the shadows. To exaggerate a bit, the Calamity Source Springs might even spew from the Inner World to the outer world, corrupting the Real World into a second World of Calamities. Everyone would either die or turn into monsters.

In the World of Calamities that Casio saw, at almost every Calamity Source, there were strong individuals who had reached the level of Sacred Fist from different eras standing guard. They were the crystallization of Secret Martial Art, the will of humanity. Facing the prospect of their world and their own race being annihilated, these Sacred Fists, whether originally good or evil, had all united.

Some were consuming against the Calamity Sources, while others faced the dark ultimate beings in mysterious places. Over long periods of time, it wasn’t rare for beings at the level of Sacred Fist to fall, leaving but a broken skeleton. Others were like candles flickering in the wind, their oil running out, their light fading in the process of eternal consumption against the Calamity Sources.

Some Sacred Fists had half of their bodies soaked in calamity, suffering immensely. Half bathed in glowing Qi like gods, half deformed and corrupted like devils. But as long as the will did not perish, the Sacred Fist would not die.

They would persist until the day their Boxing Method intent was completely extinguished.

Casio silently watched the scene that shattered like glass.

The vastness of the World of Calamities naturally did not only consist of the Southern Dipper Vein. Nor could there be only three ultimate dark beings like the Totem King, the True Ancestor of Blood, and the Moon God. However, they were the most powerful, the most active, and the determining factor for victory in both camps.

Beings like the Totem King and the True Ancestor of Blood were likely at least within the top ten of the ultimate dark beings amongst the Endless Calamity. The fallen Moon God, too, probably ranked not too low, only to encounter the White Bird Sacred Fist. Likewise, the Southern Dipper Vein was the same; not only was their Qi growing infinitely, but the Southern Dou’s Power they cultivated was also growing endlessly. The two harmonized into one.

It was the sharpest attack against dark creatures, against calamities.

Just like the Blood Vulture Dominant Fist, alone blocking a source and facing off against the Totem King in the adverse environment of a Calamity Source Spring! This was not something an ordinary Sacred Fist or Dominant Fist could do, only the Southern Dipper Vein could!
