Chapter 582: Chapter 581: Heaven and Earth Mourn, Another Saint Falls!

Not only was the Grand Thousand Upper Realm shaken.

The countless Small Thousand Worlds also witnessed the golden pathway that traversed the universe.

The person standing on the pathway was majestic and noble, surrounded by various phenomena, making him seem like the master of this world.

"Venerable Emperor Chong’en..."

The beings of the Three Thousand Worlds all murmured.

In fact, they couldn’t recognize the figure on the pathway at all.

It was just inexplicably that the title Venerable Emperor Chong’en popped up in their minds.

This was the Heavenly Dao announcing to the world; whenever a Saint achieves their Dao, the Heavenly Dao proclaims it!

"This is a new Saint."

"This is the Supreme entity!"

All beings of the Three Thousand Worlds instinctively bowed, worshiping the figure on the pathway.

And in the Immortal Realm, all the powerful experts were fixated on Saint Chong’en.

"In the end, he managed to achieve his Dao."

"Like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, reaching the pinnacle of ascension. From now on, he will look down upon all past enemies and friends."

"Alas..."

"When can I reach that step?"

Many Quasi-Saints felt a multitude of emotions, indescribable in their hearts, and could only look enviously at the figure in the North Sea.

Of course, there were also those whose gaze constantly shifted between the Daoist Celestial Court and this newly ascended Saint.

"So, will there be a great battle?"

"I am really curious whether the fortune of the Celestial Court can truly stop the steps of a Saint?" Many Quasi-Saints muttered.

But some also directly stated, "Below Saints, all are ants. The fortune of the Celestial Court is no exception."

"The claim that the fortune of the Celestial Court can block a Saint is only because the fortune of the Celestial Court concerns countless living beings within its realm, and what makes a Saint hesitant is whether this karma can be borne!"

"If disregarded, only a Saint can stop a Saint in this world!"

"Indeed." Many people nodded in agreement to this statement.

The fortune of the Celestial Court is naturally terrifying, but there’s nothing to be done; a Saint, who can act on behalf of the Celestial Dao Rules, is destined to be at the apex of this world!

Just like the Venerable Emperor Chong’en at this moment, he closed his eyes to feel, as everything in the world surfaced as patterns in his mind.

Now, what he sees are not sentient beings but the order within this heaven and earth.

He has mastered many rules.

"So that’s how it is..."

"In the past, a single leaf would block one’s sight, unable to see Mount Tai."

"Only now does one glimpse the Great Way..."

The Venerable Emperor Chong’en opened his eyes, a smile of sudden enlightenment on his face. As he glanced at the world, he perceived all the hidden Quasi-Saints.

Former opponents had now become insignificant ants in his eyes, dismissible with a flick of the finger.

No longer worth attention.

"Oh, yes."

The Venerable Emperor Chong’en suddenly remembered something and, with a meaningful smile, looked toward the Daoist Celestial Court.

And within the Celestial Court at that moment, the Lord of Daoism was also watching him.

Their gazes met, one cold and composed, the other smiling serenely.

"Congratulations, Taixu Celestial Venerable."

It was the Venerable Emperor Chong’en who first spoke. Now, facing this first under the Saints, he no longer felt anxious.

On the contrary, there was an air of watching clouds rolling and unrolling with detachment.

"And congratulations to you, finally achieving your wish and becoming a Saint."

Lin Heng stood with his hands behind his back, responding graciously. Although facing a Saint at this moment, Lin Heng displayed no humility.

He stood tall, transcendent and peerless, truly possessing the demeanor of the Lord of Heaven, overseeing all.

"In fact, during this competition for seats, I was extremely worried you would get involved." The Venerable Emperor Chong’en suddenly said.

"Oh?" Lin Heng smiled, saying nothing.

The Venerable Emperor Chong’en continued, "Actually, after ascending to the Celestial Dao Gate, I was always puzzled as to why, during two opportunities, you, the first under the Saints, didn’t compete."

"Until this moment, seeing the Saint’s Breath you contain, I understood you are exploring another path."

The Venerable Emperor Chong’en sighed, "I must say, you are indeed terrifying, managing to surpass the limits of a Quasi-Saint and reach this point."

"But..."

He paused, looking at Lin Heng with a hint of depth, "You still do not understand the power of the Heavenly Dao."

"Attempting to walk another path to reach the level of a Saint."

"This will be very distant, very distant."

"Perhaps, it may never be achieved in your lifetime."

The surrounding void near the Venerable Emperor Chong’en flickered, and chains of order appeared, showcasing the power he wielded, mocking Lin Heng’s naivety.

To this, Lin Heng remained utterly calm, "So, do you wish for a battle?"

These words held everyone’s breath, their nerves tightening.

Especially the immortals of the Daoist Court.

Indeed, though the Daoist Court is now the Celestial Court, and their Celestial Venerable has become the Lord of Heaven, declaring war against a Saint would still shock people.

And amidst everyone’s tense breaths, the Venerable Emperor Chong’en also revealed a slight smile, "Of course, but we can wait a moment."

Lin Heng raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

The Venerable Emperor Chong’en looked up into the sky, his gaze reaching unknown depths, murmuring, "For your Daoist Court to bear the tribulation, your ancestors truly gave their all."

Lin Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly, "What did you see?"

The Venerable Emperor Chong’en sighed, "I saw the fall of a Saint."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Heng’s expression changed.

And in the very next second.

A wave of aura that filled all beings with sorrow suddenly swept across the world.

"Hmm?"

All the powerful beings felt a shock, looking doubtfully at the sky.

This sensation was all too familiar.

It appeared the moment before Nuwa became a Saint in the last cycle.

And then, the top forces had already concluded.

A Saint had fallen.

The Yuqing Primordial Celestial Venerable of Daoism had perished in the world.

Whoosh! A deluge of bloody rain suddenly fell from the sky.

It landed on the starry sky, on the sea.

It fell on the Grand Thousand World, and also on the Three Thousand Small Worlds.

The blood-colored rain washed over every corner of All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Countless beings were dumbfounded.

"Another scene like this, another sense of mourning..."

"Has someone fallen?"

"Who is it?"

The world was shaken, filled with suspicion.

Even the Western Buddha Country, Great Qin Celestial Court, and the newly reorganized Demon Race Celestial Court were thrown into an uproar.

"Another Saint has fallen?"

"Could another Saint have fallen?"

All sides were shocked, unable to believe. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Saints are immortal.

The news of the Yuqing Celestial Venerable of Daoism perishing in the last cycle’s seating had already stunned all parties.

No one expected that, just as the Venerable Emperor Chong’en had achieved his Dao, another Saint would fall in this cycle...

"One flower withers, another blooms?"

"Then this time, who could it be?"

Many peerless experts whispered, their brows filled with confusion.

In an isolated world.

Having just returned, Yang Jian trembled, clenching his fists.
