Chapter 538: Chapter 537: I Really Want to Go Upstream in Time to Witness the Battle of Saints [Second Update]

Unfortunately, the grumbling and swearing did not pass into the world.

Lin Heng could only guess from the lip movements that they were some crude curses.

He couldn’t help but chuckle internally, thinking that this Ancestral Master Shangqing, Heaven-Reaching Sect Leader, indeed had a fiery temper!

But his heart was also filled with doubt.

He could see that certain words were forbidden by heaven and earth, even Saints were unable to speak them.

After a round of cursing, the Shangqing Saint finally calmed his anger a little, and once he was calm, his voice was able to be heard from the river of time.

"Enough."

"Do you want me to take action, or will you do it yourself?"

These words were addressed to the Ancient Buddha beyond the universe. The tone of the Shangqing Saint was quite straightforward, and his gaze was incredibly domineering.

Even though the other party was also a Saint, he still spoke unrestrainedly.

Showing no courtesy at all!

What does it mean to be Heaven-Reaching?

This is what it means to be Heaven-Reaching!

In Daoism’s Three Pristine Ones, in terms of overall power, Shangqing might not be as strong as the other two Celestial Venerables.

But in terms of demeanor, with the most outstanding Power of Slaughter, he is truly domineering and unrivaled, looking down upon the world!

The Ancient Buddha beyond the universe seemed to hesitate about something, and after a brief pause, he finally said, "Before I became a Saint, I had long admired the killing power of the Celestial Venerable, and after becoming a Saint, I had no chance to truly experience it."

"Today, I dare to test the depth of the Celestial Venerable."

He responded with a calm expression, neither humble nor arrogant.

Even if the other party was the ancient Heaven-Reaching Sect Leader, even if he had once regarded Heaven-Reaching as he would the sun, moon, and stars in the sky.

But that was all in the past.

He, Luminous, had long since become a Saint.

Saints naturally have the pride of Saints!

"Very well."

The Shangqing Saint was unconcerned, graciously saying, "Let me see how you, this junior Buddha Country Saint, compare to the Zhunti Jieyin of the Western Sect back then."

As he spoke, he pinched his two fingers together, and the legendary Cyan Ping Sword manifested.

The renown of the Cyan Ping Sword is not as great as the Four Immortal Slaying Swords.

But it was the treasure of enlightenment when the Heaven-Reaching Sect Leader became a Saint, imbued with the path of Heaven-Reaching’s slaughter, and its power is equally terrifying.

With no extra movements, the Shangqing Saint swung the sword, and the river at his feet suddenly surged with great waves, waves towering into the sky, extending beyond the universe, enveloping the Ancient Buddha overseeing the universe.

Saint Luminous remained composed, allowing the great river to surround him, and even waved his hand, extending the river already permeating the universe further into the endless distance.

"Go to the past to fight."

Saint Luminous said, taking a step forward, his figure moving toward the depths of the river.

There it was too far.

So far that no one could see the end of the river, nor could anyone see Saint Luminous.

He disappeared into this time and space.

Just as he said, going to the past to fight.

"Ancestral Master!"

Seeing the Shangqing Saint also heading there, Lin Heng quickly called out, and when the Saint turned back, he said solemnly, "Bring the Four Immortal Slaying Swords."

The Shangqing Saint smiled and left with great strides, without looking back, he said, "The Four Swords are unnecessary, even in his favored past, I am still invincible."

"You just wait, I shall return shortly."

Having said that.

The Shangqing Saint also vanished.

As the two Saints departed, the river of time gradually dissipated.

Naturally, the people of the world could not witness the battle of the Saints.

There is inherent regret, but for All Heavens and Myriad Realms, it is actually more of a relief.

"Fortunately, it did not erupt in our time, otherwise, their battle would have undoubtedly put All Heavens and Myriad Realms through a massive purge." An ancient strong figure said, his tone tinged with fear.

"Is the battle of Saints really that terrifying?" A young talent expressed doubt, feeling the elders’ words were too exaggerated.

"What else do you think? Do you think during the Gods Sealing Era, so many peerless great powers, why did they all become Gods without freedom under the Gods’ List?"

"What do you think Nuwa mended in those days?"

"The former Red Cloud Ancestor, East Emperor Taiyi, Lu Ya Daoist, Warlord Chi You, Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, how do you think they perished?"

"If Saints engaged in an unscrupulous battle, the scene would be beyond your imagination!"

The ancient being reprimanded, the world had become too prosperous, causing people to forget the terror of Saints.

Divine Enthronement and Journey to the West, the two most recent great calamities.

Though they did erupt into battles of Saints, they went to great lengths to avoid affecting the world, so many forgot that Saints possess world-destroying energy!

"I really want to go to the upstream of time and see the real battle of Saints..."

The inexperienced young talents couldn’t help but fantasize about the scenes of the Saints’ battle, inwardly unafraid, instead filled with immense longing.

As the saying goes, the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger. No matter how the former describes it, without experiencing it firsthand, they remain unconcerned.

This left the ancient beings speechless, but also made them sigh.

They saw their former selves in these young talents.

Indeed.

Blind ignorance always invites disaster.

But think carefully, for practitioners, if they truly lose the spirit of the newborn calf unafraid of the tiger, how can they forge ahead in the path where hundreds of ships contend?

So, having a long-held sense of awe, may allow them to avoid calamities and endure longer.

But it inevitably causes them to lose the mindset and courage of practitioners, going against the heavens.

The path of life may be longer.

But the path of cultivation, will also see its end.

Many ancient beings seemed to understand something, their gazes sweeping over the younger generation and then falling on the Lord of the Dao Court.

Over the years, the Lord of the Dao Court has gained great renown.

Their deeds, naturally, have long been spread across the Great Thousand.

Whether in the Human World, facing reincarnated Immortal Buddhas, daring to struggle.

Or the audacious world-ascending.

Each was a touchstone toward invincibility.

After ascending to the Upper Realm, there’s no need to say more, regardless of the formidable foes, they dared to fight.

Even in the Ancestral Immortal Realm, going to battle Quasi-Saints!

Not long ago, on the day Lady Nuwa proved her path, he alone wielded a Holy Soldier, facing thirteen Quasi-Saints.

Searching through ancient history, how many could there be?

And those with such audacity, who could stand again and again amidst bloodshed, all without exception, became focal points of their era.

"Therefore, in this era, if he is not invincible, who is worthy of invincibility?"

Many strong figures’ eyes were complicated, finally understanding their inability to ascend further.

Fear, worry, valuing life too much.

With such a mindset, they are destined to never be invincible.

"The Four Immortal Slaying Swords? How could they be here?"

Suddenly, the voice of the Cyan Ox rang out from within Lin Heng’s Daoist Robe.

Earlier, the imposing presence of the Saint was borne by Lin Heng, but even so, the Cyan Ox could not withstand it, its bloodline ruptured, and it fainted away.

It was the timely appearance of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords that cut off the Saintly pressure.

Otherwise, the Cyan Ox would have perished silently.

"The Ancestral Master Shangqing came, he went to the upstream of time, to battle Luminous." Lin Heng said, concise and clear.

"What?" Cyan Ox trembled with excitement upon hearing this.
