Chapter 887: Great Saint Body Dominates the World

Chapter 889: The Great Accomplishment Saint Body Reigns Over All

Carrying an invincible glory, yet burdened by an endless melancholy, he witnessed beauties grow old and loved ones return to dust. Eventually, he left that ancient star, only to die of old age in a foreign land after countless years.

Such was the latter half of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's life—a tale that evoked sighs and lamentations. Behind the halo of his achievements lay sorrow, profound solitude, and desolation, for all his peers had withered away, leaving him to live on alone in the world.

"He truly is one of the nine invincible Saint Bodies from ancient times!" exclaimed the Black Sovereign.

At that moment, the entire Eastern Wasteland was in an uproar. All the ancestral kings were startled, mistakenly believing someone had achieved the Dao, and gazed in awe towards the Heavenly Abyss Mountains in the Central Region.

A brilliant light and an aura of immense majesty emanated from the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, who stood there, merged with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, creating an imposing presence that compelled all beings to bow in reverence.

"'Kill... them...' A faint divine thought emerged from the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's mind."

Ye Fan, the Black Sovereign, Duan De, Li Tian, and the others immediately felt a chill run down their spines. Not only them, but even the ancestral kings present would have to flee; resistance was futile!

The majestic figure turned to face Ye Fan and his companions, causing the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Pot to clang loudly and descend with streams of immortal radiance, enveloping them.

This was the Ultimate Emperor Weapon's response, signaling a grave sense of urgency and threat!

"'No...' A desperate cry echoed through the Heavenly Abyss Mountains, rapidly fading until it vanished completely."

The divine consciousness was obliterated, and the spiritual fluctuations of the black specter vanished, mercilessly crushed and purified by the Great Accomplishment Saint Body.

At this moment, an aura befitting a Great Emperor permeated the heavens and earth, shaking the nine heavens above and intimidating the nine underworlds below. All sentient beings were compelled to submit. His will, which dominated all creation, manifested as an immeasurable brilliance, descending in streams and threads like waterfalls from the sky, enveloping his radiant body.

Silence fell across the ten directions as countless beings prostrated themselves towards him in devout worship.

"'The specter has been slain; it's as if it perished by its own hand,' Li Tian said with a tremor in his voice."

"'Such an invincible Great Accomplishment Saint Body, who achieved great feats for the world in his time, would certainly eradicate any malevolent thoughts upon true revival, even if they originated from himself,' the Black Sovereign said, somewhat relieved."

"'Awakening memories from a past life and borrowing the Dao fruit from a previous existence — that was merely the specter itself! It wasn't a summoning across time; no one could live that long. When the true self revives, malevolent thoughts are naturally purified,' explained Duan De, who, having long dealt with ghosts, was most qualified to speak on the matter."

The Great Accomplishment Saint Body's gaze merely shifted, and a great mountain instantly crumbled into dust. A powerful ancestral king, who had been worshipping, bravely stepped forward, his voice trembling as he declared, 'I merely passed through this place; I had no intention of offending your divine might.'

A powerful ancestral king, though dozens of miles distant, was trembling and continuously retreating in terror before swiftly vanishing into the horizon.

Such immense power stunned Ye Fan, Duan De, and the others. It was no wonder that the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Pot above their heads vibrated and chimed — it was an Emperor Weapon, after all!

"'This weapon... I had no chance to witness it in life, but I see it now, after death,' the Great Accomplishment Saint Body murmured to himself."

Finally, his gaze fell upon Ye Fan. 'Has the Saint Body's inheritance been severed?' he asked.

Ye Fan's heart stirred profoundly, and he bowed respectfully. 'Please, senior, impart your techniques!' he pleaded.

"'Please, senior, grant us the supreme Saint Law!' Duan De also joined in, bowing haphazardly, eager to obtain the inheritance as well."

A beam of light flew into Ye Fan's glabella, and a clear Dao diagram instantly unfolded within his mind. He was startled; it was remarkably similar to the Saint Law he had previously acquired, which focused on cultivating a single secret realm for the Saint Body, yet this version was far more detailed and perfect.

"'I've already received this,' he couldn't help but murmur to himself."

The Great Accomplishment Saint Body cast a glance, and Ye Fan's heart was shaken. All his past actions — from what he had done in the Azure Dragon King's treasure vault to his deeds before the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's stone coffin on Saint Cliff — flashed through his mind, perceived by the god-like entity before him.

"'The human Saint Body inheritance method requires transmission via divine consciousness. After death, many of its operational pathways become severed, so you could not have grasped it merely by exploring the corpse,' the luminous entity calmly stated."

"'Please, senior, guide me on the correct path,' Ye Fan bowed once more."

The corpse within the stone coffin on Saint Cliff had undoubtedly belonged to someone who possessed a flawless inheritance. However, it had been deceased for too long for its secret methods to be perfectly transmitted.

"'Once you reach the Saint realm, use this method to re-cultivate each secret realm. This is the foundation of our physique's invincibility,' the Great Accomplishment Saint Body stated, then ceased speaking. He merely sighed softly as he gazed across the mountains and lands."

Duan De, the Black Sovereign, Li Tian, and the others fidgeted nervously, scratching their heads and ears. They hastily performed grand bows, pleading with the senior to impart a Dao method upon them.

"'Upon death, malevolent thoughts emerged; perhaps it was because the complete method was not passed on, or there was an unfulfilled mission. Now, returning to this land, it is finally complete,' the Great Accomplishment Saint Body sighed, then took a step and began to walk into the distance."

"'Senior!' Ye Fan and the others cried out, but the Great Accomplishment Saint Body offered no response. With a single stride, mountains and rivers trembled, winds and clouds shifted, and the Great Dao resonated, giving rise to myriad strange phenomena."

"'Heavens, how powerful is he? Even an ancient Great Emperor's journey wouldn't be more magnificent than this!'"

The Black Sovereign exclaimed in awe.

In the distance, true dragons soared, immortal phoenixes circled, and Black Tortoises paved the way... Streaks of auspicious radiance and divine light converged to form a golden grand path, upon which the Great Accomplishment Saint Body strode, vanishing into the horizon.

Only the Dao light continued to shimmer, transforming into the thunder of the nine heavens and lingering behind. The heavens and earth themselves manifested extraordinary wonders for him, acknowledging his celestial Dao fruit—a phenomenon rarely seen throughout the ages, achieved by very few in history.

"'Where is he going? Quick, chase!' exclaimed Duan De. The Great Accomplishment Saint Body's past life memories were now unsealed, representing an immeasurable trove of immortal treasures. If they could acquire them, it would be akin to plundering an Emperor's tomb."

However, they simply could not keep up. With a single stride from the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers seemed to recede. Dao patterns appeared beneath his feet, each step covering hundreds of thousands of miles, and he vanished in an instant.

This speed was terrifying, striking fear into all who witnessed it. His strides seemed to pierce through the void, and the golden grand path along with all the accompanying celestial wonders vanished with him into the distance.

"'Don't bother chasing; even if the ancestral kings arrived, they wouldn't be able to keep up with his pace.'"

"'I think... he probably wants to take one last look at this familiar and magnificent land, and then... vanish,' Ye Fan whispered, understanding that profound state of mind and feeling a wave of sadness."

On that day, the Eastern Wasteland trembled, and living beings everywhere quaked as if sensing the movement of an ancient Great Emperor, all prostrating themselves in that direction.

The Great Accomplishment Saint Body continued his journey, surveying many desolate lands, his eyes filled with an endless sense of ancient vicissitude, as if recalling countless long-forgotten events.

He then continued on foot, entering the Immortal Mountain—a place even the ancestral kings of the ancient tribes dared not set foot in. He simply walked in, astonishing a passing ancestral king who was utterly dumbfounded by the sight.

"'He entered the Immortal Mountain!'"

Upon hearing this news, numerous ancient kings were stunned. Several individuals in the vicinity immediately rushed to the scene, eager to witness what would unfold.

Inside the Immortal Mountain, vast black peaks stretched out. The golden grand path unfolding beneath the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's feet led directly to the central region, which was encircled by a mountain range. Veiled in swirling mist, it remained an enigma, its contents unknown to anyone save Great Emperors since ancient times.

The headless knights guarding the area surged forward, their hairs standing on end as if under immense pressure, their bodies on the verge of cracking, and they continually retreated.

"'Retreat. Let him pass.'"

Just then, from the heart of the Immortal Mountain's most mysterious misty region, a cold, indifferent voice, imbued with supreme majesty, rang out.

The Great Accomplishment Saint Body walked on foot, traversing the central misty region of the Immortal Mountain, as if reminiscing about the past. He paused there for a moment, saying, 'This is where I once fought.'

Then, he slowly walked away, step by step. It was only long after his departure that a pair of eyes opened within the misty region, gazing for a prolonged period at his receding back.

From another direction, two ancestral kings who had followed him saw him emerge. A chill ran through their bodies, and they muttered with trembling voices, 'He actually crossed through...'

A golden grand path, stretching for an unknown number of miles, extended directly into the Northern Region. Immortal phoenixes danced, and true dragons coiled, as if a Heavenly Emperor were traveling.

At this moment, throughout the six directions and eight wildernesses, all Saints sensed the aura of a Great Emperor through the Heavenly Dao, and they were utterly shaken and awestruck.

The Great Accomplishment Saint Body surveyed the mountains and lands, entering the Northern Region. He murmured to himself, 'The ancient tribes have awakened. I have actually witnessed this era. Is there hope for the path to immortality to open? What a pity I missed it... becoming an immortal...'

He held a trace of regret, but his eyes quickly blazed with an inferno of light, and his entire being erupted with sky-rending battle intent. He swept his gaze across the entire Northern Region, advancing step by step towards the areas with the most vibrant vital energy.

"'He's here... it's too fast! He didn't open a domain gate; he simply walked straight, yet he entered the Northern Region in an instant!' exclaimed the various ancestral kings, utterly shocked."

"'He truly possesses... the aura of an Archaic Sovereign!'"

With the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's arrival in the Northern Region, all the Archaic tribes were seized with terror. Everyone felt utterly unsettled and lost, their hearts filled with dread.

His first destination was the Primordial Lake, shocking all the imperial clans residing there, their hairs standing on end. Ancient Sovereign weapons bobbed on the water, ready to be unleashed at any moment.

"'What are we to do? Is there truly a Great Emperor among the human race who still lives? Who would dare risk death to enter the Primeval Ancient Mine to summon the supreme existence to emerge?'"

The people of Primordial Lake were paralyzed with fear, almost ceasing to breathe. The Great Accomplishment Saint Body's might was simply too overwhelming; he stood motionless on their sacred lake, his brilliant light illuminating every inch of the water.

Moments later, they were utterly drained, finally exhaling a collective sigh of relief as that terrifying human departed. It felt as though centuries had passed.

Soon after, a human figure appeared before the Fire Qilin Cave, his back to the ancient grotto, radiating overwhelming power and terrifying the entire Fire Qilin clan.

"'What's happening? A human Great Emperor... is actually still alive!'"

Half an hour later, the imperial clans of Blood Phoenix Mountain, Divine Silkworm Ridge, and other regions were likewise struck with dread. On that day, they all personally confronted the supreme might of that human, a pressure so immense it threatened to suffocate them.

A single individual entering the sacred strongholds of several major imperial clans, causing every tribe to tremble with fear—what astonishing divine power was this? All the Archaic tribes were utterly terrified!

Finally, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body traversed the Primeval Restricted Zone, shaking the entire Northern Region. All the kings of various tribes were left utterly dumbfounded.

What most astonished them was that the golden grand path led directly to the Primeval Ancient Mine, and he simply walked right up to its entrance on foot.

Huo Linzi, who frequently visited the Primeval Restricted Zone, now witnessed all of this firsthand. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, an expression of utter disbelief on his face.

"'Is he... going to enter the Primeval Ancient Mine?!'"
