Shattering Eighteen Earth Saints, Saint Star City Shaken! Lu Changsheng's Invincible Name Spreads Far and Wide!

The combined Dao body assault of eighteen top Earth Saints was utterly terrifying. It blotted out the sky and sun, crushing any thought of resistance in the hearts of onlookers. Yet Lu Changsheng remained calm and composed. His Earth Saint Dao body abruptly thrust forward a palm. This palm grew larger and larger until it, too, blotted out the sky, surging forward with boundless might to collide violently against the onslaught of the eighteen top Earth Saints' Dao bodies. It was an unadorned clash of sheer power. Neither side left anything to chance. Rumble! The void quaked as if it were about to fracture. A terrifying blast wave swept in all directions. Cultivators below the Earth Saint realm felt as if a colossal boulder were weighing on their chests, bringing a suffocating pressure. They stared into the void, dumbfounded. Lu Changsheng was actually taking on eighteen top Earth Saints by himself. It was truly... unbelievable. Had they not witnessed it with their own eyes, nothing would have made them believe it. Yet now they had no choice, for it was unfolding right before them. "What terrifying power! What immense might! Every single one of those eighteen top Earth Saints is an overlord capable of dominating an entire region. United, their combined momentum shakes heaven and earth!" "How does Lu Changsheng dare? How could he dare to confront eighteen top Earth Saints alone?" "Could Lu Changsheng truly be an invincible Earth Saint?" "Whether he is or not, we will know in a moment. Perhaps Lu Changsheng's Earth Saint Dao body has already been blown to bits." Countless eyes peered into the void. Everyone strained their senses to detect Lu Changsheng's aura. However, the energies and auras following the clash were far too chaotic. None of them could discern the exact situation. Who had won, and who had lost? Gradually, the smoke and dust cleared. The onlookers finally caught sight of what remained in the void. Lu Changsheng's Earth Saint Dao body still stood tall in the sky. His aura had not diminished in the slightest. It looked as though he had suffered no effect whatsoever. "What?" "Lu Changsheng wasn't affected at all?" "Where are the other Earth Saints?" "There were eighteen top Earth Saints!" The crowd searched for the other eighteen Earth Saints. In the end, they spotted only three. The remaining fifteen Earth Saints were nowhere to be found. Not even a trace of their aura lingered. They had been wiped out in body and soul! A collective jolt shook everyone's hearts. Fifteen top Earth Saints! With a single strike, Lu Changsheng had slain fifteen top Earth Saints. Even the three survivors had their auras depleted to the absolute brink. One of the surviving Earth Saints had already brought his cultivated embryonic martial dao nearly to perfection. Yet at this moment, his expression was ghastly pale as he said slowly, word by word, "Earth Saint perfection! To think... to think you have already reached Earth Saint perfection. With such strength, you truly are an invincible Earth Saint..." "Hahaha! To think we actually came to provoke an invincible Earth Saint!" "Our defeat is not unjust..." All three wore bitter smiles. Their voices carried across the surroundings. Immediately after, their Earth Saint Dao bodies shattered. Crack! As the wind blew past, the three Dao bodies could no longer hold together and completely disintegrated. The three of them also vanished in body and soul, perishing entirely! Seeing this spectacle, countless spectators were stunned. "All eighteen top Earth Saints are dead?" "Destroying eighteen top Earth Saints in a single strike—is he even an Earth Saint?" "Lu Changsheng has already reached Earth Saint perfection? Could this level of power belong to the legendary invincible Earth Saint?" "He must be an invincible Earth Saint! Otherwise, no Earth Saint could possess such horrifying might. Rumors were already circulating outside that Lu Changsheng might be an invincible Earth Saint, but almost nobody took them seriously. Now, facts have proven that the most unbelievable rumor was the truth..." "An invincible Earth Saint! Unless a Heavenly Saint steps forward, no one can do a thing to Lu Changsheng. Anyone who still covets the secret of the spirit treasures on him will likely end up just like these eighteen top Earth Saints, destroyed in body and soul!" Many sighed in awe. Today had truly broadened their horizons. Not a single invincible Earth Saint existed in all of Saint Star City. Not now, and not in the past either. In the entire history of Saint Star City, an invincible Earth Saint had never once appeared. That alone showed how difficult reaching that state was. To some degree, invincible Earth Saints were even rarer than Heavenly Saints. Lu Changsheng swept his gaze across the surroundings, his voice booming into the distance, "Anyone else?" The lurking Earth Saints fell into dead silence. How could there be anyone else? Once word of today's battle spread, Lu Changsheng's status as a bona fide invincible Earth Saint would be beyond dispute. Moreover, he had already achieved Earth Saint perfection. In the future, he had high hopes of taking that critical step to become a Heavenly Saint. What Earth Saint would still dare come throw their life away? Thus, his voice echoed through the void, but not a single soul responded. "Since there is no one else, then get lost." "No one is permitted to spy on the vicinity of the Hundred Flowers Sect!" Lu Changsheng snorted coldly. He appeared overbearing. Yet what of it? He was an invincible Earth Saint; being somewhat overbearing was only natural. Furthermore, these Earth Saints had been coveting the spirit treasures in his possession. Acting forcefully would spare him plenty of future trouble. And so, many Earth Saints quietly slipped away from the vicinity of the Hundred Flowers Sect, no longer daring to pry. Lu Changsheng's gaze swept disdainfully in all directions. He had actually hoped that another top Earth Saint—or even an Earth Saint at perfection—might jump out. Unfortunately, that was impossible. No perfected Earth Saint would reveal themselves under such circumstances. Every perfected Earth Saint maintained an extremely low profile. Except for Lu Changsheng. He had deliberately acted this way to draw out other perfected Earth Saints so he could engage them in battle to validate his dao. Yet the more he behaved like this, the less likely any perfected Earth Saint was to show up. "Forget it." Lu Changsheng shook his head. He turned and returned to the Hundred Flowers Sect. Sect Master Zhang Ling rushed forward immediately and asked with great excitement, "Elder Lu, you've reached Earth Saint perfection?" "Indeed." "During my recent seclusion, I finally cultivated my embryonic martial dao to perfection." Lu Changsheng did not conceal it and admitted it openly. Zhang Ling's face flushed with excitement. "At last, our Hundred Flowers Sect has another cultivator with a chance to strike for the Heavenly Saint realm!" "Elder Lu, what preparations do you need to attempt the breakthrough to Heavenly Saint? The entire Hundred Flowers Sect will spare no effort to assist you!" Zhang Ling asked eagerly. If Lu Changsheng could become a Heavenly Saint, the benefits to the Hundred Flowers Sect would be immense. Far beyond imagination. Once Lu Changsheng succeeded in advancing to Heavenly Saint, the Hundred Flowers Sect would become a genuine Heavenly Saint faction! They would instantly rank among the top factions in Saint Star City. Therefore, Lu Changsheng and the Hundred Flowers Sect shared both honor and ruin. Zhang Ling was perhaps even more eager for his success than Lu Changsheng himself. However, Lu Changsheng shook his head. What help could the Hundred Flowers Sect offer him? What he needed right now was to validate his dao, which required opponents at Earth Saint perfection. Could the Hundred Flowers Sect provide that? "Sect Master, do you know where any cultivators at Earth Saint perfection can be found near Saint Star City?" Lu Changsheng asked. "Cultivators at Earth Saint perfection?" Zhang Ling was taken aback. Still, she shook her head and replied, "Speaking of which, it really is strange, but I have never heard of anyone reaching Earth Saint perfection." Zhang Ling had never read the founding patriarch's cultivation insights. After all, she was not even an Earth Saint. Naturally, she had no idea that reaching Earth Saint perfection required validating one's dao against peers. "Then mobilize the sect's forces specifically to gather intelligence on Martial Saints at Earth Saint perfection. The more detailed, the better, and do not limit the search to Saint Star City." "Understood, Elder Lu." With that, Zhang Ling promptly went to make arrangements. Lu Changsheng returned to his cave abode to wait quietly. Day after day passed. News that Lu Changsheng had reached Earth Saint perfection spread like wildfire. After all, his slaughter of eighteen top Earth Saints in the Hundred Flowers Mountain Range was too monumental an event. Countless people had witnessed it firsthand. There were still some knowledgeable individuals who understood that Earth Saint perfection required validating one's dao. Consequently, they secretly looked forward to Lu Changsheng clashing with other perfected Earth Saints. Regrettably, none appeared. Not a single cultivator at Earth Saint perfection showed up. Not only did none come knocking, but not even a whisper of news could be found. Was it truly impossible to find a single perfected Earth Saint in Saint Star City? Not necessarily. Evidently, however, they had all gone into hiding. Lu Changsheng's power was far too horrifying; he was essentially confirmed to be an invincible Earth Saint. Had his strength been slightly weaker, perfected Earth Saints might well have come looking for him. An invincible Earth Saint, though? No perfected Earth Saint was foolish enough to challenge an invincible powerhouse. Thus, Lu Changsheng waited an entire month, yet came up empty-handed. The Hundred Flowers Sect's intelligence network had failed to unearth the slightest lead on any perfected Earth Saint. A month later, Lu Changsheng made up his mind. He would wait no longer. The current situation was crystal clear. Earth Saint perfection was a peculiar realm. Everyone kept themselves concealed, terrified that their identity would be uncovered by other perfected Earth Saints. Waiting for someone to come knocking on their own accord? Utterly impossible! As things stood, his only option was to visit the Chen clan and meet Ancestor Chen. Ancestor Chen was a Heavenly Saint and undoubtedly knew that validating one's dao required perfected Earth Saints. When Ancestor Chen had deliberately left him those parting words back then, the ancestor had likely anticipated that Lu Changsheng would seek him out sooner or later. Lu Changsheng gave Zhang Ling a few brief instructions, then flew toward the Chen clan. Unlike the Hundred Flowers Sect, the Chen clan was situated right inside Saint Star City. Land in Saint Star City was worth its weight in gold, yet the Chen clan occupied a massive expanse. They had even carved out numerous cave abodes within their grounds. This testified to their immense wealth and power. Of course, as a Heavenly Saint lineage backed by a Heavenly Saint mighty figure, the Chen clan was in its golden age, so occupying such vast grounds was only natural. Whoosh. Lu Changsheng touched down. "What... what do you want?" The guards at the Chen clan gates recognized Lu Changsheng at a glance. Lu Changsheng was no longer an unknown figure; he was widely celebrated and currently the center of attention throughout Saint Star City. Even as mere gatekeepers, they knew Lu Changsheng had clashed with their Heavenly Saint Ancestor. Surviving such an encounter was proof enough of his terrifying might. Seeing him arrive unannounced naturally set their hearts pounding with unease. "Send word inside. Say Lu has come to pay a visit to Ancestor Chen." Having spoken, Lu Changsheng waited quietly. Coming to visit the Chen clan called for basic courtesy. "Wait here." A Chen clan cultivator hurried inside to report. The Chen Clan Head was somewhat bewildered. He had not expected Lu Changsheng to actually come. Just as he was caught in a dilemma, Ancestor Chen sent a direct voice transmission: "Bring Lu Changsheng to see me." "Yes, Ancestor." The Chen Clan Head then went personally to the gates to invite Lu Changsheng in. "Fellow Daoist Lu, the Ancestor requests your presence." The Chen Clan Head harbored no fondness for Lu Changsheng. Yet with the Ancestor's orders, he dared not show any slight. Lu Changsheng had no desire to exchange pleasantries with the clan head either; he had come solely for Ancestor Chen. Had it not been for Ancestor Chen, he would have wiped out the Chen clan long ago. The clan head led Lu Changsheng to the Chen clan's private cave abode. "Fellow Daoist Lu, the Ancestor is inside. I shall not accompany you further." The clan head then took his leave. The entrance to the cave abode slid open, and Lu Changsheng stepped straight inside. Within the cavern, Lu Changsheng saw a familiar figure—none other than Ancestor Chen. "Junior pays his respects to Ancestor Chen." Lu Changsheng bowed respectfully. "Have a seat." Ancestor Chen glanced at Lu Changsheng and offered a faint smile. "Lu Changsheng, I originally thought you would need a decade, or perhaps several decades, before you reached Earth Saint perfection. To think that in a mere month or two, you have already attained it. "I hear you've been inquiring about perfected Earth Saints as well? "It seems you already know the process of advancing to Heavenly Saint. You must validate your dao. In this step, the hardest part is not defeating your opponent, but finding an opponent who is also an Earth Saint at perfection." A glint flashed through Lu Changsheng's eyes. Sure enough, Ancestor Chen knew his current situation like the back of his hand. Those words spoken back then had likely referred to this exact dilemma. "May I ask Ancestor Chen where I might find perfected Earth Saints so that I can properly validate my dao?" Lu Changsheng asked in a deep voice. Since Ancestor Chen had told him to visit the Chen clan, the old man definitely had a method. Or rather, a channel. Otherwise, he would not have made such an offer. Ancestor Chen did not answer immediately. Instead, he shook his head and sighed. "Our Chen clan is too poor. Even with my status as a Heavenly Saint, I have been unable to find a single spirit treasure. I only managed to obtain one by trading with you, Fellow Daoist Lu." The corner of Lu Changsheng's mouth twitched slightly. So it was about spirit treasures after all? A grand Heavenly Saint, fretting over spirit treasures? In truth, Lu Changsheng simply did not grasp the reality of the situation. Spirit treasures were exceedingly rare. Their birth required the alignment of heavenly timing, geographical advantage, and harmony among people—a confluence of countless conditions. They could not be forged by artificial means. Even for a Heavenly Saint, acquiring a spirit treasure was extraordinarily difficult. Ancestor Chen knew Lu Changsheng possessed more than one spirit treasure. However, Lu Changsheng had avatars, making him impossible to truly kill. Since he could not kill him, Ancestor Chen could not coerce Lu Changsheng into handing over his treasures. After turning it over in his mind, his only option was to trade using the very thing Lu Changsheng desired most. Indeed, this was another transaction. Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and said, "If Ancestor Chen can point the way to finding perfected Earth Saints, I will naturally offer a spirit treasure as a token of gratitude!" "Oh?" Ancestor Chen's eyes lit up. "In truth, Earth Saint perfection is a unique realm. Every perfected Earth Saint wants to validate their dao, yet every one of them also wants to pick on the weak, preferring to stay hidden rather than show their face. "Over time, as everyone hid away, the end result was that no one could validate their dao, and no one could become a Heavenly Saint. "Thus, the Earth Saint Dao Field came into being. "The Earth Saint Dao Field was jointly established by countless apex factions, backed even by mighty existences above the Heavenly Saint realm. "Within the Earth Saint Dao Field, only perfected Earth Saints can participate in the 'Battle of Dao Transformation.' Matchups are determined freely by a supreme spirit treasure beyond anyone's interference, ensuring complete fairness and impartiality. "However, the Battle of Dao Transformation is a fight to the death. Only the survivor is deemed the victor. If you cannot kill your opponent, you cannot be considered the victor, and the battle will not conclude. "Therefore, in a sense, each Battle of Dao Transformation is a duel of life and death. You either live or die. You either succeed in transforming your dao and advance to Heavenly Saint, or you fail and become a stepping stone for someone else's ascension!" Lu Changsheng felt a chill in his heart upon hearing Ancestor Chen's explanation. The Earth Saint Dao Field? He had genuinely never heard of it. To think it was so brutal. Countless perfected Earth Saints slaughtering one another. Life or death. Yet it gathered a large number of perfected Earth Saints in one place, ensuring that the path of ascension to Heavenly Saint would not be severed. Many Earth Saints would travel to the Earth Saint Dao Field to stake everything on a gamble. "What is required to participate in a Battle of Dao Transformation at the Earth Saint Dao Field?" Lu Changsheng asked. He did not believe that such a pivotal trial—the most critical step for an Earth Saint to advance to Heavenly Saint—would be open to them free of charge. That was impossible. Would those Heavenly Saint mighty figures, or even existences beyond them, perform charity for nothing? It defied logic. There had to be conditions attached. Ancestor Chen smiled faintly. "Indeed. Entering a single Battle of Dao Transformation in the Earth Saint Dao Field requires paying one complete Martial Saint-level martial dao fragment. "However, there is no limit to the number of battles you can enter. The more martial dao fragments you hand over, the more battles you can join. "In consideration of the fact that you have provided our Chen clan with two spirit treasures, I will give you a piece of advice. If you wish to travel further on your path in the future, participate in several Battles of Dao Transformation to plunder more daos. Doing so will be of tremendous help to your future cultivation as a Heavenly Saint. "Of course, the Battle of Dao Transformation relies entirely on luck, and every entry is a gamble. If you encounter an invincible Earth Saint, you might be the one killed instead. So, how many battles you choose to enter rests entirely on your own decision," Ancestor Chen said calmly. Lu Changsheng fell into thought. The Earth Saint Dao Field was brutal. The Battle of Dao Transformation was an all-out gamble with one's life. Yet it was indeed the most suitable place for him. To advance to Heavenly Saint, he truly had to go to the Earth Saint Dao Field and take part in the Battle of Dao Transformation! As for Martial Saint-level martial dao fragments, Lu Changsheng currently possessed just over two. That was enough for him to enter two battles. "One final question. Where is the Earth Saint Dao Field?" Lu Changsheng asked. "The Earth Saint Dao Field is located in the Void Domain. It can only be reached through the teleportation array of the Secret World Tower. "However, going to the Earth Saint Dao Field requires a recommendation from a Heavenly Saint. "Without a Heavenly Saint's recommendation, the Secret World Tower will not activate the teleportation array." Lu Changsheng understood the implication. Ancestor Chen possessed such recommendation quotas, but if Lu Changsheng wanted one, he had to pay the price of a spirit treasure. Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng handed over a spirit treasure directly to Ancestor Chen. Previously, Lu Changsheng had possessed thirteen spirit treasures in total. Having given Ancestor Chen two, auctioned off one, and gifted one to the Hundred Flowers Sect, he was left with nine. Four of those were reserved for his personal use, meaning he still had five spirit treasures at his disposal. As for martial dao fragments, Lu Changsheng was not overly concerned. If he wanted martial dao fragments, he had a very convenient and swift method: selling spirit treasures! Once he reached the Earth Saint Dao Field, selling a spirit treasure if necessary would easily net him a substantial sum of martial dao fragments. "Thank you, Ancestor Chen." Lu Changsheng stood and expressed his thanks. Though it was a transaction, and Ancestor Chen was motivated by obtaining a spirit treasure, the information was undeniably crucial to Lu Changsheng. Had it not been for Ancestor Chen, even if Lu Changsheng eventually learned of the Earth Saint Dao Field on his own, who knew how long it would have taken? Moreover, Ancestor Chen had provided him with a recommendation quota, allowing him to travel directly there. Thus, although it had cost a spirit treasure, it was well worth the price! "May our Saint Star City gain another Heavenly Saint mighty figure!" Having said that, Ancestor Chen closed his eyes. Lu Changsheng took his leave and departed the Chen clan. However, he did not head straight to the Secret World Tower, returning instead to the Hundred Flowers Sect first. Going to the Earth Saint Dao Field was of paramount importance, and he would certainly go. At the same time, the Earth Saint Dao Field was brutal and dangerous. Even as an invincible Earth Saint, he could still encounter peril. Therefore, he needed to leave instructions with Zhang Ling. Upon returning to the Hundred Flowers Sect, Lu Changsheng sought out Zhang Ling. "Zhang Ling, I have a top-secret matter to share with you. "Regarding the Earth Saint Dao Field..." Lu Changsheng relayed the information to Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling was equally astonished. She, too, had never heard of the Earth Saint Dao Field. Perhaps the sect had declined too far, or perhaps the founding patriarch had vanished without warning, leaving behind no records concerning the Earth Saint Dao Field. "Elder Lu, Ancestor Chen gave you a recommendation quota... Are you planning to head to the Earth Saint Dao Field?" Zhang Ling asked. In truth, she had already guessed the answer. "Yes, I intend to go to the Earth Saint Dao Field. "Although the Battle of Dao Transformation carries danger, given my strength, it shouldn't pose much of a problem. "Even if something goes wrong and I fail, I still have avatars and can be revived, so there is no need for excessive worry," Lu Changsheng stated calmly. Even so, Lu Changsheng had no intention of failing. If he failed, he would never be able to transform his dao. Even if he were revived, he would be permanently barred from progressing further. That would be far more agonizing than death itself. Therefore, on this journey to the Earth Saint Dao Field, he could only succeed—failure was not an option! Lu Changsheng remained at the Hundred Flowers Sect for a few more days. Once the sect's affairs were properly arranged, he departed and headed directly to the Secret World Tower. "Fellow Daoist Lu, have you come to purchase secret world coordinates again?" Seeing Lu Changsheng arrive, the Secret World Tower cultivator's eyes lit up. Lu Changsheng was now a major client, a distinguished VIP in the Saint Star City branch of the Secret World Tower. Naturally, he required dedicated reception by their personnel. Upon entering the VIP room, Lu Changsheng dispensed with pleasantries and spoke plainly: "I wish to go to the Earth Saint Dao Field." "Oh?" "Fellow Daoist Lu is already prepared to undertake the Battle of Dao Transformation?" "However, activating the teleportation array incurs an immense cost, particularly since it leads to the Void Domain, which demands a massive expenditure..." Lu Changsheng had no patience to listen to the Secret World Tower cultivator beat around the bush. He cut straight to the point: "How many spirit crystals?" "Not spirit crystals. Activating the array once requires one-tenth of a Martial Saint-level martial dao fragment." "..." Looking at the cultivator's beaming smile, Lu Changsheng felt an urge to punch that face for the very first time. The Secret World Tower truly reaped exorbitant profits. A single teleportation cost one-tenth of a Martial Saint-level martial dao fragment. This was practically daylight robbery! One had to realize how difficult it was for an Earth Saint to obtain martial dao fragments. It required securing secret world coordinates, followed by years, a decade, or even decades of hard-fought struggle inside a secret world. Cultivators like Lu Changsheng were an extreme rarity. Yet not going was out of the question. One could only reach the Earth Saint Dao Field through the Secret World Tower's teleportation array. It was the sole designated pathway. The Secret World Tower could not help but rake in fortune. Lu Changsheng handed over a piece of a martial dao fragment. It was equivalent to 0.1 of a fragment. Having previously held 2.2 fragments, he now had 2.1 Martial Saint-level fragments remaining. The Secret World Tower cultivator beamed with joy, his face radiant. "Fellow Daoist Lu, please follow me!" Lu Changsheng rose and followed him all the way down to the underground hall. Inside a spacious chamber of the underground hall, Lu Changsheng saw an array formation. The formation was extraordinarily intricate. A considerable number of people were maintaining it, all of whom were array masters. Evidently, the Secret World Tower had not been lying; activating the array did indeed consume immense resources. "At last, someone is heading to the Earth Saint Dao Field in the Void Domain again." "The last time was thirty years ago." "Alas, that Earth Saint remained in the Earth Saint Dao Field forever..." "Still, this man seems far from ordinary. He is Lu Changsheng, rumored to be an invincible Earth Saint." "An invincible Earth Saint? Then his chances of winning the Battle of Dao Transformation are very high." "Perhaps before long, a new Heavenly Saint will be born in our Saint Star City." Seeing Lu Changsheng, the array masters maintaining the formation clearly recognized him. After all, Lu Changsheng was currently renowned throughout the city. Though they spent their days maintaining arrays, they were well aware of his fame. Moreover, having guarded this array for years, they naturally knew some secrets concerning the Earth Saint Dao Field. Saint Star City was not considered a particularly large city. Across the Saint Domain, cities larger than Saint Star City were too numerous to count. Decades often passed before a single perfected Earth Saint set off for the Earth Saint Dao Field. Yet those who managed to return were few and far between. The mortality rate in the Battle of Dao Transformation within the Earth Saint Dao Field was exceedingly high. It was purely a gamble on luck. A single misstep meant the destruction of both body and dao. Therefore, anyone heading to the Earth Saint Dao Field had to make thorough preparations. "Very well, activate the array." Buzz. The array activated at once, and Lu Changsheng felt the power of the formation envelop him. Swish. The next instant, Lu Changsheng vanished from sight. Lu Changsheng felt as though he were traversing space. Shrouded by the array's power, he seemed to travel for a very long time. Finally, a glimmer of light appeared ahead. Immediately after, Lu Changsheng felt his body twist slightly. He reappeared within an array formation. However, when Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, he found himself no longer in the secret chamber of the Secret World Tower, but standing amidst the void. "This place..." Lu Changsheng looked up. The void above was pitch-black. All around him stretched an endless expanse of pitch-black void as well. Beneath his feet lay a landmass composed of layer upon layer of runic arrays. Even the surrounding space was remarkably stable, reinforced by the array formations. It was a colossal continent floating entirely within the void! "The Void Domain... it truly floats in the void. "Such profound power is beyond the reach of a Heavenly Saint. It must have been wrought by a mighty existence above the Heavenly Saint realm!" Lu Changsheng's heart trembled. He had not even become a Heavenly Saint yet, let alone a mighty existence above them. Right at that moment, another ripple passed through an adjacent array. A cultivator stepped out of the void. "Hm?" "Earth Saint perfection!" Lu Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly. He instantly sensed the other party's aura. It was unmistakably an Earth Saint at perfection! For so long in Saint Star City, he had exhausted every avenue trying to find news of a perfected Earth Saint, only to come up empty. Yet the moment he set foot in the Void Domain, he had encountered one. In an instant, their gazes locked. The atmosphere between them immediately grew taut with tension. Should they battle now, they could likewise validate their daos, transforming their paths to become Heavenly Saints!
