Lu Changsheng Displays His Might, Striking Down a Martial Saint!

Silence! The entirety of the Black Light Chamber of Commerce's headquarters suddenly fell dead silent. Everyone stared blankly at Lu Changsheng's figure suspended in the void. They could hardly believe their eyes. What were they seeing? Lu Changsheng had stepped forward of his own accord, volunteering to take on the Black Light Martial Saint? That was the Black Light Martial Saint—a bona fide Martial Saint! Although they now knew that Lu Changsheng was exceptionally powerful and possessed terrifying talent, having condensed boundless divine abilities to become virtually the foremost cultivator of the Divine Ability realm, dominating that realm and facing a Martial Saint were two entirely different matters. Once a Martial Saint forged a saint body, every movement carried the power of divine abilities. Moreover, depending on the strength of the saint body, it could amplify divine abilities by several dozen to a hundredfold. Even the weakest could amplify them several dozen times over. Amplifying a divine ability's might by several dozen times? How terrifying was that? Every gesture was earth-shaking. If a Martial Saint so desired, their might could easily wipe out an entire city. Yet facing a Martial Saint, Lu Changsheng actually seemed eager to try, willing to risk himself in battle. "Venerable Lu is too arrogant! Just because he thinks he's the number one in divine abilities, he dares to face a Martial Saint head-on?" "Venerable Lu thinks his boundless divine abilities can contend with a Martial Saint, but what is the reality? Throughout history, practically no one in the Divine Ability realm could match a Martial Saint. Only Golden Core True Persons, relying on heaven-defying magic treasures, might perhaps contend with one." "Perhaps Lu Changsheng is invincible in the Divine Ability realm, so he thinks Martial Saints are nothing special. Truly... seeking his own death!" Many martial artists shook their heads slightly, finding it inconceivable. Courting death shouldn't look like this. In their eyes, Lu Changsheng's action was nothing short of suicide. No matter how strong a Divine Ability cultivator was, how could they possibly be a match for a Martial Saint? Only Martial Venerable Xiao Cong of the Deep Space Chamber of Commerce had a sharp glint flash in his eyes upon seeing Lu Changsheng step forward and walk toward the Black Light Martial Saint step by step. His face brimmed with incomparable excitement. *Here it comes! Lu Changsheng is finally stepping up. He's going to clash head-on with a Martial Saint. Truly... unbelievable! He could strike upward and slay the saint beast flood dragon in the Yuntu Mountain Range—is he about to manifest his might before the crowd in Tianguang City and strike upward to slay a Martial Saint as well?* Xiao Cong was extremely thrilled. A saint beast was a saint beast, and a Martial Saint was a Martial Saint; there were still differences between the two. Yet a once-in-a-millennium battle like this was rare even for Martial Saints to witness. It was something one could only chance upon, never demand. And now, he was about to witness this staggering spectacle with his own eyes. Many people might not realize what an astonishing scene they were about to behold. But Xiao Cong knew. Even the Deep Space Chamber of Commerce knew. Surprisingly, the martial artists looking forward to this battle the most and watching with the utmost focus were those from the Deep Space Chamber of Commerce. One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps... After a dozen or so steps, Lu Changsheng stopped. He had already bypassed the crowd, standing in the void to confront the Black Light Martial Saint from a distance. Seeing this, the Black Light Martial Saint narrowed his eyes slightly. A trace of killing intent flashed within them. "Old Ghost Li, you send a mere Divine Ability martial artist to die?" The Black Light Martial Saint's gaze bypassed Lu Changsheng and landed directly on Li Zhenggang. From beginning to end, he had been guarding against Li Zhenggang. He feared that Li Zhenggang was using Lu Changsheng to draw his attention before launching an unexpected sneak attack. That was entirely possible! As for whether Lu Changsheng was powerful enough to contend with a Martial Saint? The Black Light Martial Saint had not given that notion a second thought. No matter how strong a Divine Ability martial artist was, they were still just a Divine Ability martial artist. There was a fundamental difference between them and a Martial Saint. An insurmountable chasm lay between the two! No matter how highly he thought of Lu Changsheng, he would never believe that Lu Changsheng could truly contend with an esteemed Martial Saint like himself. It had to be Li Zhenggang's ploy to pin him down and divert his attention. Lu Changsheng fixed his gaze on the Black Light Martial Saint. "Come. Let Lu see just how astonishing a Martial Saint's divine abilities truly are." Just as the Black Light Martial Saint was about to sneer at Lu Changsheng's words— *Boom!* In the next moment, Lu Changsheng made his move. With a wave of his hand, a terrifying black vortex formed in the void. The black vortex seemed to exert a tremendous deterrent effect upon the mind. Even the Martial Saint felt a sliver of pressure. It was as though the moment the black vortex descended, his spirit would be completely devoured. Before the Black Light Martial Saint could even react, in the very next second, a cage had faintly formed around him. Four Symbols Prison! In the blink of an eye, Lu Changsheng had already unleashed two boundless divine abilities. Without the slightest hesitation, a five-colored radiance flared into being. The third divine ability—Five Elements Decomposition! It surged toward the Black Light Martial Saint in an instant. Three boundless divine abilities, complementing and reinforcing one another, were unleashed in unison by Lu Changsheng. For the first time, when facing a cultivator in the Divine Ability realm, the Black Light Martial Saint felt a sliver of threat. Yes, a threat. It was as if the young man before him was dangerous. Once these three divine abilities enveloped him, he might die! A Martial Saint's intuition was terrifyingly sharp. The Black Light Martial Saint never imagined he would experience such a feeling. One had to realize that an aura capable of making him sense danger only ever occurred when facing fellow Martial Saints. Yet Lu Changsheng was clearly only a Divine Ability martial artist—there was no mistake about that. How could he possibly make a Martial Saint feel so endangered? Nevertheless, the Black Light Martial Saint was a veteran of hundreds of battles. Almost without hesitation, a layer of white flame erupted around his body. "White Flame Saint Body!" Without delay, the Black Light Martial Saint manifested his saint body. Furthermore, it was the "White Flame Saint Body" of the Five Elements Fire. This type of saint body was relatively common and specialized in burst power. Under the White Flame Saint Body, every gesture of the Black Light Martial Saint amplified his fire divine abilities by as much as thirty-eight times! That was actually quite remarkable. Ordinary saint bodies only amplified abilities by twenty to thirty times, whereas his White Flame Saint Body reached thirty-eight-fold! What did a thirty-eight-fold amplification mean? Lu Changsheng was now encountering it directly—experiencing it firsthand. With a wave of the Black Light Martial Saint's hand, a fire divine ability was unleashed in an instant. Immediately, vast expanses of flame seemed to consume the void. Everyone felt as if they had plummeted into a flaming purgatory. Lu Changsheng's Four Symbols Prison was indeed formidable, yet under a divine ability amplified by a saint body, it was shattered in a single blow. *What a terrifying saint body, what a terrifying amplification!* *However, the White Flame Saint Body and fire divine abilities... are precisely countered by my Five Elements Decomposition!* Lu Changsheng's eyes turned cold. The moment the Four Symbols Prison broke, Lu Changsheng's Five Elements Decomposition descended with sweeping momentum. Furthermore, the flames on all sides were dismantled on contact. By the time the Black Light Martial Saint reacted, he was already enveloped by Five Elements Decomposition. At the same time, the Spiritual Black Hole above Lu Changsheng's head vanished in a flash. In truth, it had descended into the Black Light Martial Saint's consciousness, wildly devouring his spiritual awareness. Under this dual assault, the Black Light Martial Saint's saint body flickered erratically. It grew unstable, as if on the verge of collapse at any moment. Seeing this, an uproar broke out among the onlookers as if they could not believe their eyes. "A saint body! The Black Light Martial Saint unleashed his saint body!" "Yet strong as the White Flame Saint Body is, it seems to be suppressed by Lu Changsheng's boundless divine abilities! Is... is this real? A saint body can be suppressed by the divine ability of someone in the Divine Ability realm?" "This completely upends everything I know! Shouldn't a saint body completely crush divine abilities? What is happening here?" "Boundless divine abilities—so this is what boundless divine abilities can do! Their power can genuinely rival a saint body. It's truly incredible..." Many drew in sharp breaths. They could not believe what was unfolding before them. And yet, it was undeniable fact. The Black Light Martial Saint—even after manifesting his saint body—was actually at a disadvantage! In a direct clash against Lu Changsheng, he was completely on the back foot. Even his saint body was being suppressed. It was utterly inconceivable. Only the people of the Deep Space Chamber of Commerce, wide-eyed, secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, Xiao Cong had brought back the news long ago. Otherwise, how could they have ever believed that someone in the Divine Ability realm could strike upward and slay a saint beast? And now, before a multitude of onlookers, Lu Changsheng was directly confronting a Martial Saint and suppressing the Black Light Martial Saint! Not to mention the spectators, even Li Guang, Li Zhenggang, and the rest of the Li clan—and even the members of the Holy Land Heavenly Sect—were profoundly shaken. They knew Lu Changsheng was strong, virtually invincible among Divine Ability experts. However, a Martial Saint was a completely different matter. A Martial Saint, a sacred figure of martial arts, was an existence all martial artists had to look up to. Yet here Lu Changsheng was, clashing head-on with a Martial Saint and visibly holding the upper hand. It overturned their entire understanding. "This truly is... unbelievable!" "Earlier, this old man thought Lu Changsheng only wanted to pin down the Black Light Martial Saint and that I would ultimately have to step in." "Who could have known that Lu Changsheng would handle it all on his own..." Li Zhenggang murmured under his breath, unable to recover from his stupor for a long time. Yet, as shaken as everyone was, their eyes remained glued to Lu Changsheng and the Black Light Martial Saint. The reason was simple. The Black Light Martial Saint was not dead yet. In fact, he had not even been defeated; he was merely at a disadvantage. "How is this possible?" "My saint body cannot be destroyed by divine abilities..." "White Flame Saint Body!" The Black Light Martial Saint practically roared. He refused to believe what was happening. He refused to believe that his White Flame Saint Body could be broken by Lu Changsheng's divine abilities. With that, the White Flame Saint Body swelled once more, releasing terrifying flames. Yet all the flames surging from the saint body were dismantled by the five-colored light, ultimately reduced to ash. Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng unleashed the Five Elements Decomposition divine ability again and again. One blast, two blasts, three, four, five... As wave after wave of Five Elements Decomposition and Spiritual Black Hole stacked together, the Black Light Martial Saint's spirit and saint body were broken down bit by bit. His White Flame Saint Body in particular was being rapidly eroded at a visible pace, scattering inch by inch. One hour, two hours, three hours... "No, impossible..." Several hours later, the Black Light Martial Saint wore a look of terror, fear creeping into his voice. He was truly terrified. His White Flame Saint Body was indeed powerful, holding out for several hours. Yet after several hours, it could no longer endure. *Crack.* The White Flame Saint Body fractured. A hairline fracture appeared. And that was merely the beginning. The scent of death enveloped the Black Light Martial Saint. He could not believe that he was going to die, and die at the hands of a mere Divine Ability martial artist at that. This was utter humiliation—a disgrace to all Martial Saints! In the future, the Black Light Martial Saint would surely be mentioned time and time again as Lu Changsheng's stepping stone. Yet even if he wanted to struggle or flee now, it was too late. *Bang!* In the next moment, the White Flame Saint Body exploded, collapsing completely. Lu Changsheng's Five Elements Decomposition thoroughly engulfed the Black Light Martial Saint. With a wretched scream, the Black Light Martial Saint was devoured directly by the Spiritual Black Hole. Afterward, stillness returned to the void. Not a sound remained. A silence like death hung over the scene. Everyone's eyes were wide. They waited for the smoke and dust to clear. Soon, the dust settled. Lu Changsheng withdrew his divine abilities, standing quietly in the void. Yet the Black Light Martial Saint, who had been in the void just moments ago, was nowhere to be seen. Even his aura had vanished without a trace. An ominous foreboding settled over everyone's hearts. "Dead... he's dead?" "The Black Light Martial Saint... fell?" "Under so many watching eyes, it was impossible for the Black Light Martial Saint to escape, let alone vanish without a trace. There isn't even a trace of aura left, not even a corpse—he was obliterated, body and soul..." "Lu Changsheng slew the Black Light Martial Saint? As a Divine Ability cultivator, striking upward to slay a Martial Saint?" As this realization dawned on them, many were left stunned. No matter how highly they had thought of Lu Changsheng before, none had expected him to actually be able to kill the Black Light Martial Saint. Even Xiao Cong stood dumbfounded, his mouth agape, his mind reeling in shock! That was a Martial Saint! A Martial Saint had fallen right before the eyes of the public. Lu Changsheng had manifested his might before the crowd, striking upward to slay a Martial Saint! Sensation! It was an immense sensation! No one could have imagined such a thing would occur. An esteemed Martial Saint had actually fallen? And fallen at the hands of someone in the Divine Ability realm? This was... utterly inconceivable! "Boundless divine abilities... is this what they are capable of? I thought I already held them in high regard, but who would have thought I still underestimated them." "What does it mean for a divine ability to be boundless? Its divine might is truly boundless—to even be able to slay a Martial Saint is staggering." "So boundless divine abilities can contend with, and even destroy, a Martial Saint's saint body..." Many felt their horizons had been broadened. At this moment, they seemed to understand why ancient texts recorded that those venerable holy lands spared no effort in helping their most outstanding disciples condense boundless divine abilities. So boundless divine abilities were terrifying to this degree! They could even strike upward to slay a Martial Saint! If a saint body were forged on the foundation of boundless divine abilities, just how formidable would it become? Many martial artists had never understood what a practitioner of boundless divine abilities represented, nor had they known the terrifying might such abilities possessed. Now, they knew. They had witnessed with their own eyes the terrifying divine might of boundless divine abilities! Looking at the empty space before him, Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly and said, "A Martial Saint... does not seem much stronger than a saint beast. In fact, in terms of defense, a Martial Saint is far inferior to that saint beast flood dragon..." Lu Changsheng understood that this was largely due to the specific saint body the Black Light Martial Saint had forged. The White Flame Saint Body specialized in burst power; its offensive might was terrifying, but its defense was fairly ordinary—nowhere near the physical resilience of the saint beast flood dragon. Yet even when the White Flame Saint Body attacked at full strength, amplifying fire divine abilities nearly forty times over, what of it? It had still been shattered head-on by Lu Changsheng's three boundless divine abilities, particularly Five Elements Decomposition. This proved that Lu Changsheng's boundless divine abilities possessed power rivaling ordinary divine abilities amplified several dozen times over! As it turned out, the moment his three divine abilities underwent their boundless transformation, he had already possessed the strength of a Martial Saint! It was just that all along, even Lu Changsheng himself had not been entirely certain. After all, boundless divine abilities had always been mere legends. Only the most ancient holy lands might hold detailed records regarding them. Yet almost no one from those holy lands walked the Holy Land, so naturally, no one knew the true potency of boundless divine abilities. None of that mattered anymore. With Lu Changsheng striking upward to slay the Black Light Martial Saint today, not only would his own fame soar, but the terrifying power of boundless divine abilities would also be spoken of with relish across the entire Holy Land! "All martial artists of the Black Light Chamber of Commerce, freeze where you are and await the Li Chamber of Commerce and the Holy Land Heavenly Sect to take over the Black Light Chamber of Commerce," Lu Changsheng's voice rang out, reverberating across the whole of Tianguang City. "Anyone who makes an unauthorized move will be slain without mercy!" Below, the martial artists of the Black Light Chamber of Commerce stiffened all at once. Lu Changsheng released his Spiritual Black Hole, leaving it suspended in the void above the headquarters. Should anyone make a move, it could devour their spirit in an instant, executing them on the spot. They dared not act rashly. Nor would Lu Changsheng let the Black Light Chamber of Commerce off lightly. "Brother Li, and fellow Daoists, I must trouble you to take stock of the Black Light Chamber of Commerce's inventory," Lu Changsheng said calmly to Li Guang and the others. Li Guang snapped back to reality at once. The Black Light Chamber of Commerce! This was one of the apex factions in Tianguang City, a genuine Martial Saint power whose businesses spanned numerous regions—stronger, not weaker, than the Li Chamber of Commerce. How vast were the resources and materials of such a chamber? In fact, once they took over the Black Light Chamber of Commerce, not only would all of the Li Chamber of Commerce's previous losses be recouped, but their influence would expand wildly. Of course, Li Guang immediately realized that this matter had to be handled with extreme care. Following this battle, Lu Changsheng was completely different from before. He could no longer be treated as a mere Divine Ability martial artist, but as a Martial Saint! Lu Changsheng was now a Martial Saint in all but name! And so, Li Guang led his people swiftly into the headquarters of the Black Light Chamber of Commerce. Only at this moment did everyone truly believe that the Black Light Martial Saint was dead and that the Black Light Chamber of Commerce was thoroughly finished. "The Black Light Chamber of Commerce is truly finished this time." "Tianguang City may never see the Black Light Chamber of Commerce again." "Who would have thought a Divine Ability martial artist could slay the Black Light Martial Saint and swallow the Black Light Chamber of Commerce whole?" "I hear Lu Changsheng hails from the Holy Land Heavenly Sect, just a minor sect. Perhaps this is our chance..." Some quick-witted figures already harbored thoughts of throwing their lot in with the Holy Land Heavenly Sect and Lu Changsheng. After all, anyone could see that Lu Changsheng possessed a boundless future. Becoming a Martial Saint was a certainty! He might even become a Heavenly Saint in the future! Xiao Cong of the Deep Space Chamber of Commerce brought his companions forward to meet Lu Changsheng. "Greetings, Venerable Lu. Greetings, Martial Saint Li!" Xiao Cong bowed respectfully. "So it truly is you." Seeing Xiao Cong, Lu Changsheng was not overly surprised. When the Deep Space Chamber of Commerce had reached out with goodwill, he suspected it was likely the black-clothed martial artist from the Yuntu Mountain Range. Now it was confirmed. "Venerable Lu, I am Xiao Cong, a Divine Ability martial artist of the Deep Space Chamber of Commerce," Xiao Cong said with deep emotion. "I truly never expected that after slaying the saint beast flood dragon back then, Venerable Lu would now strike upward to slay a Martial Saint as well. It is truly unbelievable." By this point, there was no longer any need to keep the events of the Yuntu Mountain Range a secret. After all, slaying a Martial Saint was far more shocking than defeating a saint beast. "What? Venerable Lu has slain a saint beast as well?" This was the first time Li Guang, Li Zhenggang, and the others had heard about Lu Changsheng slaying a saint beast. Looking back now, it was no wonder Lu Changsheng had possessed the confidence to confront a Martial Saint. Saint beasts were not inferior to Martial Saints; their strength rivaled them. Since Lu Changsheng could slay a saint beast, he could naturally contend with a Martial Saint. "Xiao Cong, Lu appreciates your Deep Space Chamber of Commerce's goodwill," Lu Changsheng said. "What brings you here today?" "Venerable Lu, our Deep Space Chamber of Commerce would like to purchase a portion of the Black Light Chamber of Commerce's storefronts..." In truth, it was not merely about storefronts. Now that the Black Light Chamber of Commerce had collapsed, how to divide the spoils was a question. The Deep Space Chamber of Commerce wished to claim a share of the pie, and they were willing to pay a suitable price for it. "I know little of business matters. You may discuss them with the people of the Li Chamber of Commerce," Lu Changsheng replied. Shortly after, Xiao Cong took his leave. Only Lu Changsheng, Li Guang, and Li Zhenggang remained in the room. Li Guang and Li Zhenggang exchanged a glance. Finally, Li Guang spoke up, "Brother Lu, the Black Light Chamber of Commerce was taken down by you, so it should rightfully be placed under your command. It can be merged directly into the Holy Land Heavenly Sect. If there is anything Brother Lu does not understand, or if you require assistance from our Li Chamber of Commerce, simply speak the word. Our Li Chamber of Commerce is willing to offer full support to help the Holy Land Heavenly Sect take over the Black Light Chamber of Commerce!" This was, in fact, a decision made by Li Zhenggang. Once the Holy Land Heavenly Sect took over the Black Light Chamber of Commerce, its influence would expand dramatically, immediately rivaling or even surpassing that of the Li Chamber of Commerce. Yet the Li Chamber of Commerce was not afraid of such an outcome; they even welcomed it. In the Holy Land, having modest influence was never a problem; what was dangerous was having influence too vast for one's strength to defend. If the Black Light Chamber of Commerce were added to their own holdings, the Li Chamber of Commerce's territory would become overly bloated. For a faction supported by only a single ordinary Martial Saint, they simply could not maintain control over such an empire. The Holy Land Heavenly Sect was different. First, the Holy Land Heavenly Sect was currently quite small, and absorbing the Black Light Chamber of Commerce would allow it to rapidly expand. Second, although Lu Changsheng was not yet a Martial Saint, he possessed Martial Saint combat power, allowing the Holy Land Heavenly Sect to be treated as a Martial Saint-tier faction. For a Martial Saint-tier faction to possess the Black Light Chamber of Commerce was utterly fitting. "This..." Lu Changsheng hesitated for a moment. He disliked troublesome affairs, and whether he took over the Black Light Chamber of Commerce made little personal difference to him. However, Lu Changsheng was no longer on his own. Behind him stood the Holy Land Heavenly Sect! Furthermore, behind the Holy Land Heavenly Sect were the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect and the Northern Region Heavenly Sect. The three Heavenly Sects were one! Yet in reality, they all relied on the Holy Land Heavenly Sect. Without a large chamber of commerce, it would be difficult to sustain the expenditures of all three sects. "Very well, then I will not stand on ceremony!" "However, once the Holy Land Heavenly Sect assumes control of the Black Light Chamber of Commerce, we can expand cooperation with the Li Chamber of Commerce. The two chambers complementing each other will surely allow us to flourish far beyond our past standing!" Lu Changsheng said. "And there's the Deep Space Chamber of Commerce—they are eager to collaborate with Brother Lu as well," Li Guang noted. Lu Changsheng smiled. He knew this was true. With the Deep Space Chamber of Commerce included, if all three chambers joined hands and forged a consensus, development would undoubtedly progress far faster than any single chamber working alone. After conferring for a time, Lu Changsheng immediately dispatched elders back to Tiansheng City, bringing a large contingent of Holy Land Heavenly Sect martial artists to take over the Black Light Chamber of Commerce in its entirety. The takeover process went remarkably smoothly. Lu Changsheng's battle had completely broken the spine of the Black Light Chamber of Commerce. With even their Martial Saint slain, who within the Black Light Chamber of Commerce would dare obstruct the Holy Land Heavenly Sect? Consequently, the handover proceeded without a hitch. Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng kept a close eye on the chamber's resources. Rather, he had already issued his requirements: when inventorying the Black Light Chamber of Commerce, prioritize finding Innate Five Elements Essence, especially Innate Five Elements Wood, Innate Five Elements Earth, and ethereal demon beads. Lu Changsheng figured that with all the foundations the Black Light Chamber of Commerce had accumulated over the years, they had to possess some precious rarities. Searching for them now—what if they actually had them? Lu Changsheng remained stationed at the Black Light Chamber of Commerce headquarters. Wave after wave of Holy Land Heavenly Sect personnel arrived to oversee the takeover. With Lu Changsheng watching over everything, no major disruptions arose. As days slipped by, the news of Lu Changsheng striking upward to slay a Martial Saint spread like wildfire. Like a storm, it swept across all quarters, reaching every corner of the Holy Land. The Holy Land was thrown into a massive uproar. Countless factions were left reeling in disbelief. They sent envoys in droves to investigate. The Martial Saint Mansion in particular was thoroughly shaken. After all, Lu Changsheng was an inner mansion martial artist of the Martial Saint Mansion. He had also occupied Cave Abode Number One for nearly a full year. Some ambitious inner mansion martial artists had been eagerly biding their time, waiting to challenge Lu Changsheng once the year ended to seize Cave Abode Number One. Yet when the news broke, the entire Martial Saint Mansion exploded into pandemonium. "Lu Changsheng directly slew a Martial Saint in Tianguang City?" "Could this be an unfounded rumor? How is that possible?" "It's absolutely true! Lu Changsheng is still in the Divine Ability realm, but relying on three top-tier boundless divine abilities, he struck down the Black Light Martial Saint! The battle took place in broad daylight before countless witnesses, sending all of Tianguang City into an uproar. There's no mistaking it." "Good heavens... I was planning to challenge Lu Changsheng once the one-year mark arrived. I'm so fortunate the year isn't up yet. If I had challenged him, it would have been nothing short of seeking my own humiliation!" "Indeed, who could have imagined that someone in the Divine Ability realm could strike upward to slay a Martial Saint?" Many disciples of the Martial Saint Mansion were left dumbfounded. The news was simply too overwhelming. Venerable Tianming in particular shuddered from head to toe upon hearing it. Yet the reports were confirmed beyond doubt. Venerable Tianming let out a long sigh. "No wonder the artifact spirit assigned Cave Abode Number One to Lu Changsheng back then." "Someone like Lu Changsheng deserves Cave Abode Number One!" "Slaying a Martial Saint while still in the Divine Ability realm..." Venerable Tianming had previously harbored lingering thoughts of challenging him, but now every trace of that desire evaporated. He immediately announced his secluded cultivation, focusing entirely on forging his saint body to attain the Martial Saint realm! Time flew by. While the entire Holy Land buzzed with stories of Lu Changsheng's legendary feat of slaying a Martial Saint from the Divine Ability realm, Lu Changsheng was staring in excitement at the three treasures before him: Innate Five Elements Wood, Innate Five Elements Earth, and two ethereal demon beads! These were the treasures cataloged from the Black Light Chamber of Commerce's reserves that he needed. This was truly... an unexpected delight! "With these treasures, fusing the saint body is finally within reach..." Lu Changsheng promptly entered secluded cultivation. He had to put all his effort into forging his saint body!
