Chapter 570 - 570 589 The Might of the Quasi-Saint

570: Chapter 589: The Might of the Quasi-Saint 570: Chapter 589: The Might of the Quasi-Saint Three days later!

The Star Shifting and the changing of heaven and earth, the ten-thousand-mile Chaos Arena rose once more, with great divine powers flocking from all around, standing firm amid the starry sky in all directions.

“Please, the four who progressed to the semifinals, proceed to draw lots.” The sound boomed from the ten-thousand-mile Chaos Arena, signaling that the battle for the top four was about to begin.

Shen Tu, Netherworld Daoist, Ye Xuan, and Myriad Poison Ancestor, these were the four strongest contenders—who would win the hand of the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden in marriage, would be revealed among these four.

However, in the eyes of the great divine power wielders, there was no suspense left in the final two rounds of the fight, as the Myriad Poison Ancestor was a Quasi-Saint.

It was simply impossible for anyone at Daluo Peak to be his opponent.

Quasi-Saint!

Those two simple words represented another level of life, fundamentally impossible for the Daluo Peak to resist.

This was an ironclad rule that had never changed since ancient times.

Since the beginning of Heaven and Earth, all things thrived, the Quasi-Saints stood supreme.

It was not impossible to fight against a Quasi-Saint, but it was not something that could be reflected through cultivation.

The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation of the Heavenly Sect Master, the Dutian Twelve Gods Slaughter Formation of the Witch Clan lineage, the Chan Sect’s Chaos Primordial Heavenly constellations Great Formation, as well as some legendary Innate Treasures could reverse the odds against a Quasi-Saint within the Daluo Realm.

However, without exception, whether it be the Killing Arrays or the Innate Treasures, most of these items belonged to Saints.

Therefore, reversing the fate against a Quasi-Saint was extremely difficult.

Of course, within the Quasi-Saints, there were levels of power.

The Myriad Poison Ancestor was merely a novice in the Quasi-Saint Realm, and whether it be in terms of his foundation or cultivation, he was the weakest among the Quasi-Saints.

Yet, a Quasi-Saint was still a Quasi-Saint, by no means comparable to an Immortal.

In the eyes of the great divine power wielders, the final victor of this grand event could only be the Myriad Poison Ancestor.

The other three were merely supporting players, without any exception expected.

Of course, there were also divine power wielders who were secretly paying attention to Ye Xuan, speculating whether the sword behind him was the Immortal Extinguishing Sword, because everyone knew that the rise of Ye Xuan to the position of Heavenly Emperor was greatly influenced by the Heavenly Sect Master, who even bestowed the Immortal Extinguishing Sword to Shen Gongbao to protect Ye Xuan’s path.

If Ye Xuan had the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation at his disposal, the remaining two rounds of combat would be filled with uncertainty.

Within the Chaos Arena, the four began to draw lots.

The Myriad Poison Ancestor, calm and undisturbed, drew first, and as he revealed his lot number, it was ‘one’, meaning that his opponent would be ‘four’.

Ye Xuan was silent as he drew his lot calmly, and as he unfolded the number in his hand, it was unmistakably ‘three’, which just so happened to avoid a battle with the Myriad Poison Ancestor.

As the two of them revealed their numbers, the faces of the Netherworld Daoist and Shen Tu turned unsightly.

It was clear that the fight against the Myriad Poison Ancestor would emerge from the two of them.

As the two drew their lots, Shen Tu’s expression instantly turned pale, and a strong sense of unwillingness appeared in his eyes.

Slowly, as he revealed his number, it was ‘four’, his opponent being none other than the Myriad Poison Ancestor.

Clang!

The bell sound of the starry sky resounded in all directions as Ye Xuan and the Netherworld Daoist exited the Chaos Arena.

Clearly, the first matchup was between Shen Tu and the Myriad Poison Ancestor, drawing the focused attention of all the great divine power wielders.

Shen Tu, one of the Five Emperors of the Underworld, was by no means weak.

Currently armed with the Life and Death Book, although he faced a Quasi-Saint, he wasn’t without any means of resistance.

The Myriad Poison Ancestor, clad in fluttering black robes with an extremely handsome appearance that resembled a Confucian scholar—if he were in the Mortal World, nobody would believe that this person was a Quasi-Saint, and even more so, a Quasi-Saint of the Evil Path.

All eyes were on the scene, and the atmosphere was tense with anticipation.

Not only were the various Great Divine Powers watching this battle, but Ye Xuan and the Netherworld Daoist were also focused intently, obviously wanting to see just how terrifying the capabilities of a Quasi-Saint could be.

In the center of the Chaos Arena.

The Venomous Ancestor stood with one hand behind his back, no aura seeping out from him, his gaze upon Shen Tu filled with sheer indifference—as if he were looking at an ant.

“Step down.”

The Venomous Ancestor’s voice was soft, as if he were discussing something trivial, but when Shen Tu heard it, the color drained from the face of this Ghost Emperor of the Underworld.

“Venomous Ancestor, while you are a Quasi-Saint, I, Shen Tu, am also one of the Five Emperors of the Underworld.

Should you form a kindred bond with me today, when I reach the Quasi-Saint Realm, I will surely not forget the favor of this day, and my lineage of the Underworld will certainly consider you a close friend.”

Shen Tu lowered himself immensely, even invoking the lineage of the Underworld in hopes that the Venomous Ancestor would withdraw from this conflict.

As Shen Tu finished speaking, the Great Divine Powers watching secretly nodded their heads, the look in their eyes toward Shen Tu filled with a hint of admiration.

Clearly, Shen Tu was clever, knowing full well that even with the Life and Death Book in hand, he was no match for the Venomous Ancestor.

As the Ghost Emperor of the Underworld, he could use the mighty influence of the Underworld to press the Venomous Ancestor, giving the latter considerable face.

Such actions also revealed that Shen Tu’s wisdom was far from ordinary.

Alas, the Venomous Ancestor was unmoved.

He only cornered up a cold smile at Shen Tu, his voice indifferent, “Are you trying to use the Underworld to pressure me?”

“Not at all!

I merely wish to form a kindred bond with the Venomous Daoist,” Shen Tu hastily bowed, his expression changing slightly.

After all, he was facing a Quasi-Saint and feared provoking a catastrophe for himself.

“A mere Ghost Emperor, it remains uncertain whether you can step into the Quasi-Saint Realm.

What makes you think you have the qualifications to form a kindred bond with me?” The Venomous Ancestor sneered contemptuously, his demeanor utterly dismissive.

The Quasi-Saint Realm was not simply a matter of talk.

Throughout the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, countless Daluo Peak cultivators were shackled at this stage, forever barred from the Quasi-Saint position.

Although Shen Tu was one of the Five Emperors, the difficulty of advancing to Quasi-Saint was nearly insurmountable.

How could the Venomous Ancestor take him seriously?

Moreover, the Venomous Ancestor was very confident that even if he were to slay Shen Tu, no other Quasi-Saint would take up his cause, because the karma associated with the enmity between Quasi-Saints was too horrific—it was a foolish act with no benefit but all harm.

In the center of the Chaos Arena.

Shen Tu looked at the Venomous Ancestor’s mocking smile, his facial expression growing increasingly ugly, his eyes moving slightly, uncertain whether to retreat or to fight with the Life and Death Book against the Venomous Ancestor.

Actually, Shen Tu’s participation in this grand occasion appeared to be for the purpose of taking the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden as his wife, but the true reason was to break through the Daluo Nine Layer Heaven and step into the supreme Quasi-Saint Realm.

The reason was simple.

The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden was born of Heaven and Earth’s spirit and even possessed an Innate Taoist Body.

If he could dual cultivate with her, there was a great chance it could help him break through the Daluo Realm.

That was Shen Tu’s real aim, not to mention that having the Saintly Nuwa behind the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden would add an immense invisible boost to his strength.

Unfortunately, although Shen Tu had meticulously planned and even borrowed the Life and Death Book from Emperor Fengdu to prepare for contingencies, he could have never anticipated that a Quasi-Saint would attend this event.

This turned his foolproof plan into nothing but void.
