Chapter 1272: Big Commotion

A blood-soaked infant, with an indifferent look on its tiny face, stood atop Chi Xuan's head. It appeared to be no larger than two palms and seemed utterly powerless.

Yet, when Zhou Yuan saw it, a thread of fear welled up in his heart, and he retreated explosively without hesitation.

Within him, the fearless Tun Tun also let out a low growl, filled with apprehension.

This scene also fell into the eyes of Ai Tuanzi and the others.

Their gazes, somewhat dazed, fixated on the infant emerging from Chi Xuan's flesh. Although they didn't confront it directly, they felt an overwhelming sense of impending disaster.

"What... is that?" Zhuang Xiaoming asked, his voice strained.

Even Ai Tuanzi, with her usually carefree disposition, had a slightly pale face and said with difficulty, "That thing... it's probably the Saint Race's ultimate trump card."

"Could it be a Law Domain expert who infiltrated?" a pseudo-Law Domain expert couldn't help but ask.

Ai Tuanzi was silent for a moment, then said, "Perhaps... it's even more terrifying than that."

Law Domain experts might exert pressure on them, but they couldn't instill boundless fear in their hearts.

As soon as she spoke, the atmosphere around them seemed to freeze. Everyone's pupils constricted. Not a Law Domain expert... Could it be a Saint of the Saint Race?!

"How is that possible... A Saint couldn't possibly enter the Dragon Spirit Heaven without causing any commotion." They felt their scalps tingle.

This was like a pack of wolves fighting, only for a ferocious dragon to suddenly descend from the sky.

It was not a battle of the same caliber at all.

As the forces of All-Beast Heaven were gripped by extreme horror, the infant on Chi Xuan's head wiped some blood from itself, then turned its emotionless eyes toward Zhou Yuan: "You, boy, are truly a persistent nuisance, constantly disrupting my Saint Race's schemes."

Although Zhou Yuan's strength might not normally catch the eye of a Saint Race Saint, he had thwarted their plans in the Ancient Yuan Heaven, so his name and some information about him had naturally become known to those Saint Race Saints.

Zhou Yuan stared warily at the infant and said, "I found it strange before how Chi Xuan could draw such vast amounts of malevolent energy into his body without being corrupted by it. Now, I finally know the answer."

Chi Xuan had indeed seen his power surge crazily by drawing upon the malevolent energy of Ancestral Soul Mountain to empower himself. However, by common sense, even as a pseudo-Law Domain expert, he shouldn't have been able to withstand such malevolent erosion. Yet, nothing had happened to him. Previously, Zhou Yuan had thought he possessed some rare treasure, but now it seemed the biggest reason was that a Saint Race Saint was hidden within him.

"Furthermore, what exactly does your Saint Race intend to do? You went to such lengths to secretly send a Saint into the Dragon Spirit Heaven. Is your covetousness for Ancestral Soul Mountain truly that strong?" Zhou Yuan asked slowly.

With events having escalated to this point, it would be utterly foolish to still believe this was merely a casual action by the Saint Race.

In fact, Zhou Yuan had a faint feeling that Ancestral Soul Mountain itself might not even be the ultimate goal of the Saint Race's current scheme.

Or rather, Ancestral Soul Mountain held secrets he was unaware of.

Regardless, he couldn't handle the current situation. Although the Saint Race Saint before him likely wasn't in their true peak condition, Zhou Yuan had no intention of making a move. He understood that even a Saint in their weakest state was an insurmountable mountain for him right now.

At this point, he could only hope that the Saints of All-Beast Heaven would quickly take action.

Just as this thought crossed Zhou Yuan's mind, the Dragon Spirit Heaven suddenly began to tremble violently.

All gazes shot upwards, and they were shocked to see the sky there seemingly twisting, followed by the appearance of several colossal faces.

As those faces emerged from the firmament, an indescribable, vast heavenly might filled the entire world, causing everyone present to feel immense pressure.

However, Ai Tuanzi and the others, instead of fear, felt joy, for they recognized those colossal faces as Saints from All-Beast Heaven!

They were indeed paying attention to All-Beast Heaven!

"Shi Ying, you, a dignified Saint Race Saint, actually snuck into the Dragon Spirit Heaven like a rat. What is your intention?" A colossal face in the sky spoke in a low, thundering voice.

"You old devil, you're truly willing to sacrifice so much, even severing half a Saint Lotus to transform into a Saint Infant and infiltrate!"

"Immediately get out of the Dragon Spirit Heaven! Otherwise, we will obliterate your Saint Infant and make you taste true suffering! At that point, you old devil might even fall from the Saint realm!"

Several Saints from All-Beast Heaven angrily spoke out, their immense pressure enveloping heaven and earth. Their shouts directly caused the winds and clouds to shift dramatically.

Under such Saintly wrath, even knowing it wasn't directed at them, the forces of All-Beast Heaven present couldn't help but tremble.

"Hahaha!"

Facing the thunderous reprimands of the All-Beast Heaven Saints, the Saint Race Saint, known as Shi Ying, burst into shrill laughter.

"You Saints of All-Beast Heaven are truly ridiculous. If you could easily enter the Dragon Spirit Heaven, why don't you try?"

"That is, if you're not afraid of destroying the Dragon Spirit Heaven and all these grade-seven elites within it!"

In the sky, several extreme faces churned with surging fury, causing the entire Dragon Spirit Heaven to seemingly creak and groan, as if unable to bear such Saintly wrath.

"Shi Ying, what exactly does your Saint Race covet in the Dragon Spirit Heaven?!" An All-Beast Heaven Saint demanded coldly.

Shi Ying, in the form of an infant, showed a sarcastic smile: "Ignorant fools, do you truly believe this Ancestral Soul Mountain belongs to your All-Beast Heaven? Perhaps you don't even know how it came into being, do you?"

The colossal faces in the sky were clearly startled for a moment, then their expressions turned grim.

"What do you mean?"

However, Shi Ying showed no intention of elaborating, clearly enjoying the sight of the All-Beast Heaven Saints' discomfiture.

Outside the Dragon Spirit Heaven, five terrifying wills converged.

"Regardless of the Saint Race's schemes, Shi Ying must be stopped!"

"The Dragon Spirit Heaven cannot withstand Saints entering at full power, and the grade-seven experts of various races are also inside. If the Dragon Spirit Heaven becomes unstable, their chances of survival are slim."

"We cannot be too cautious at this moment. Send word for them to immediately retreat to the floating disc where they entered. That is the most stable place in the Dragon Spirit Heaven, and it might save their lives."

"Let's prepare the Saint Descent technique. Although it will have some repercussions for us, hesitating now is not wise."

The other Saints fell silent for a moment upon hearing this. The so-called Saint Descent technique was not much different from Shi Ying's method; if the Saint Descent avatar were to be destroyed, it would profoundly impact them.

However, there was no time for further contemplation. As Saints, they possessed the most resolute characters and immediately nodded decisively.

"Agreed."

Just as they made their decision and were about to act, the void outside the Dragon Spirit Heaven suddenly tore open.

The next moment, terrifying auras surged out from the spatial rift like a tide.

"Heh heh, if you're in need of opponents, then we shall oblige..."

Beyond the spatial rift, there seemed to be an ancient scroll. Within the scroll, which appeared to encompass heaven and earth, five figures could be seen, some seated, some standing.

Without exception, all five figures exuded incredibly terrifying auras.

Meanwhile, the five Saints of All-Beast Heaven suddenly had a drastic change in their expressions.

"Five Saint Race Saints?!"

"Is that...? The Divine Map of the Saint Realm?!"

At this moment, even with their status as five All-Beast Heaven Saints, they felt an extremely ominous premonition. The Saint Race's actions this time were truly on such a grand scale?!

Were they intending to ignite another cataclysmic war?!
