Chapter 1464: Five Elders Fall

When the five streams of light descended, an earth-shattering roar exploded. Violent Genesis Qi shockwaves surged outwards, instantly pulverizing islands within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles into dust.

Many Dharma Domain experts were also sent sprawling backward, then watched in horror towards the source of the Genesis Qi impact.

The power unleashed by the five — including Sect Master Qing Yang — after burning their Dharma Domains, had reached a certain limit within the Dharma Domain stage.

This was like a star expending all its energy in a single instant; the momentary brilliance was too dazzling to look at directly, but once the light faded, the star would inevitably disintegrate.

While this power was magnificent, the cost was far too severe.

Not every Dharma Domain expert possessed such courage and resolve. Thus, many Cangxuan Heaven Dharma Domain experts present held deep respect for the five.

Further back, Chu Qing, Li Chunyun, Zuoqiu Qingyu, and others stared blankly in that direction, their hands tightly clenched.

Under the gazes of numerous experts from both sides, the Genesis Qi storm at the source gradually subsided after raging for a moment, revealing the scene within.

Then, everyone's pupils constricted sharply.

The first thing that came into view was the alluring figure of the female Saint. However, her once snow-white skin was now crimson and covered in deep wounds.

From within her body, pink light-spikes extended, and three swaying figures were impaled upon three of them. She also stretched out her arms, her fingers sharp as blades, gripping the throats of two more figures: Sect Master Qing Yang and Heavenly Sword Master.

The female Saint's originally charming face was now clouded with gloom and ferocity. The injuries on her body were minor, but more critically, a Saint Lotus slowly appeared above her head. Three of its petals had dimmed, then fallen off, turning into nothingness. The damage to her Saint Lotus had shaken her very foundation.

"Ha..." Sect Master Qing Yang's throat was pierced by the female Saint's sharp fingers. His entire body's Genesis Qi was already rapidly becoming chaotic and weak. He chuckled, his gaze at her filled with mockery: "Are... Saints truly invincible?"

The Saint was indeed incredibly powerful, but under the five's suicidal assault, even she had paid a price.

Heavenly Sword Master, Dan Qingzi, and the two others let out dry, mocking laughter.

"You five old fools!" The alluring woman's face twisted, appearing exceptionally savage. She hadn't initially paid much attention to Sect Master Qing Yang and the others' suicidal assault, as the might of a Saint had given her immense confidence. But she had clearly overestimated herself and underestimated the terrifying power unleashed by five peak Dharma Domain experts burning themselves. The loss of three Saint Lotus petals had made her foundation incomplete, and advancing further in the future would require an immense amount of effort and heart. How could she not be enraged?

"All of you, die!" the female Saint said coldly. The next instant, terrifying might suddenly poured out from within her. The bodies of Dan Qingzi and the two others impaled on the light-spikes instantly exploded into a shower of blood mist.

"Don't worry, once I'm done with you, I'll wipe out all of Cangxuan Heaven's Dharma Domain experts!" The female Saint's chilling gaze swept over Sect Master Qing Yang and Heavenly Sword Master, whom she still held. "I want to see if Cangxuan Heaven's Dharma Domain experts are all as hard-headed as you are."

As her words fell, terrifying might suddenly shot forth from her fingertips. With a ripping sound, it pierced through the bodies of Sect Master Qing Yang and Heavenly Sword Master, scattering blood everywhere.

At that moment, the eyes of many Cangxuan Heaven Dharma Domain experts were on the verge of splitting, and countless roars of rage erupted. In the distance, Chu Qing, Li Chunyun, Zuoqiu Qingyu, and the others couldn't help but sway, their minds completely blank.

When Sect Master Qing Yang and the other four had burned their Dharma Domains earlier, they had understood what was intended. But it was only when the five were truly slain, with their blood splattering across the sky, that the others fully comprehended. The five Sect Masters were gone, torn apart right before their eyes by the female Saint of the Saint Race.

Chu Qing parted his lips. A bitter smile appeared on his usually nonchalant and lazy face, and deep sorrow welled up in his eyes. "Old man, are you kidding me? At your age, do you really have to make such a grand sacrifice?" Chu Qing's voice was dry, and his eyes gradually reddened. "If you thought I was lazy, you could've just told me directly. Why use this method to mess with me?"

"Wah, Palace Master!" Lü Luo couldn't help but sob, large tears rolling down her cheeks. Zuoqiu Qingyu bit her red lips tightly, blood staining her pearly teeth. Li Qingchan lifted her beautiful face, taking a deep breath of the blood-tinged air, her eyes red-rimmed.

Although they had become accustomed to death during the past half-year of war, the five Sect Masters had shared very close relationships with them.

Li Chunyun stood there numbly. In his eyes, wrapped in black cloth, an extremely aged face appeared. When he first entered the Sword Inquiry Sect years ago, this twilight-aged elder had given him much guidance. At this moment, even he, whose heart was solely devoted to the sword, felt a deep sorrow. "Sect Master, farewell," he whispered, his voice hoarse.

"Hey, my dear little darlings, don't stand around here mourning. How about I send you to join those five old fools?" Just then, an alluring laugh suddenly drifted from the front. The seductive female Saint was seen stepping over the waves, her body's injuries now completely healed, save for the three missing petals from the Saint Lotus above her head. She smiled sweetly at Chu Qing, Li Chunyun, and the others. The five old men had clearly shared a deep connection with them, so filled with murderous intent and rage as she was, she naturally intended to vent her fury on them.

Further away, Cangxuan Heaven's Dharma Domain experts saw this unfold and immediately roared in anger, preparing to intervene. However, the Saint Race's Dharma Domain experts were no longer just observers; they suddenly moved to intercept and block all of the approaching Dharma Domain experts. After all, a Saint was not truly invincible; if these Cangxuan Heaven Dharma Domain experts had the courage to burn their Dharma Domains and fight to the death, this newly ascended Saint might very well fall here.

The seductive female Saint stopped in front of Chu Qing, Li Chunyun, and the others. She looked at the two of them, extending her slender, jade-like hand, and smiled alluringly: "You two are quite handsome. How about you kill the others, and I'll take you both as male consorts?"

Chu Qing shook his head, a hint of disdain in his voice: "When it comes to looks and temperament, you don't even rank here. I wouldn't want to settle for less." "Besides..." He grinned, but his smile held an unprecedented chilling solemnity. "Today, I don't plan on letting you go."

Beside him, Li Chunyun slowly raised his rusty iron sword, pointing it at the female Saint. "I also want to try," he said, "to see how difficult it truly is to slay a Saint." His words were calm, like the vast ocean – the surface tranquil, but powerful undercurrents swirling beneath.

The seductive female Saint paused for a moment, then covered her mouth and giggled, her body shaking with laughter. "You Cangxuan Heaven Dharma Domain experts aren't very capable, but your arrogance is unmatched..." "If you want to die, isn't it simple enough?"

Malevolent aura rose in the seductive female Saint's eyes, and her red lips were now more vibrant than blood. She elegantly raised her jade-like finger. The sea behind her suddenly parted, and an immensely gigantic crimson python, radiating boundless malevolence, slowly emerged. This massive python was formed from boundless Saintly might; every scale was engraved with ancient patterns. As its tail gently swayed, the entire sea was churned into towering waves. Before this python, formed of Saintly might, even Dharma Domain experts could only tremble.

The seductive female Saint's moist tongue lightly licked her red lips. She whispered, "Devour them."

As her voice fell, the giant python roared, and the very void shattered. The python's enormous maw, like an abyss, swallowed this entire space, then, carrying overwhelming shadow, it surged to devour Chu Qing, Li Chunyun, and the others.

At this moment, darkness descended, engulfing their vision.
