Chapter 2091 - 2092: Settling Karma
"Saint Heir, you must leave quickly!"
The Supreme Saint Elder rushed directly towards Ye Qiu, buying time for the Donghua Holy Son.
Ye Qiu pointed in mid-air, and a vortex directly surged forward, sweeping toward the Donghua Holy Son.
Break!
The Supreme Saint Elder abruptly turned back, directly severing that vortex. The Donghua Holy Son was terrified; if he were to be swept away by that vortex, he would certainly die.
At this moment, Ye Qiu was at the Supreme Saint level, killing him would be as easy as squashing an ant.
Just when the Donghua Holy Son felt slightly relieved, a hand gently rested on his shoulder.
The Supreme Saint Elder was shocked and overwhelmed. Ye Qiu’s voice resonated by the Donghua Holy Son’s ear: "On Earth, you weren’t my match, and now that we’ve returned to our ancestral land, you’re still so weak, it’s really disappointing."
"Ye Qiu, you could spare me. I swear, I won’t reveal your identity, how about it?"
"Now you have become a Supreme Saint; I am still at the Void Realm as a Martial Artist. I pose no threat to you, and I won’t seek revenge in the future."
The Donghua Holy Son cowered. The scene of being imprisoned by Ye Qiu in the formation came flooding back. Despite his unwillingness to reminisce, when the person who brought him such a nightmare reappeared, the memories emerged involuntarily.
"Do you think I’m going to let the tiger return to the mountains?"
"Ye Qiu, you cannot... kill..." The Donghua Holy Son continued to plead, but Ye Qiu’s hand had already snapped his neck. His soul shot out instantly, trying to escape.
Ye Qiu smiled slightly, casually striking out, instantly dispersing the soul.
The Donghua Holy Son met his end!
"Saint Heir!"
The Supreme Saint Elder’s eyes widened in anger and sorrow, rushing in without regard to anything to avenge the Donghua Holy Son.
The two Supreme Saints immediately collided together.
In the distance, a ripple of void surged, and a figure appeared. Gu Tian’s face was somewhat pale, but this sickly whiteness gave him an extraordinary demeanor.
Watching Ye Qiu and the elder’s exchange, Gu Tian’s emotions were very complex.
Just ten breaths ago, he and Ye Qiu had almost been killed by Ge Tian. Ge Tian’s terror was not ordinary; even with just a remnant soul left, he was still incredibly powerful.
Even teaming up with Ye Qiu couldn’t shatter Ge Tian’s remnant soul, instead, they were overpowered by him, with both souls heavily wounded.
When Ge Tian was about to kill Ye Qiu first, then move on to kill Gu Tian, a ray shot out from Ye Qiu’s forehead, enveloping Ge Tian’s remnant soul. No matter how he struggled, he could not escape. It was as if thousands of blades within the light were slicing Ge Tian.
Even if Ge Tian tried everything, it was still futile. The star-shaped light gradually weakened him.
Ultimately, Ge Tian’s consciousness was obliterated, leaving only soulless power.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Qiu absorbed Ge Tian’s Soul Power, rapidly restoring himself, bringing the soul battle to a complete end.
"What is that mark capable of holding Ge Tian’s remnant soul captive? Could it be a mark of the Dao Sovereign level?"
"This kid has so many secrets, doesn’t he?"
Regarding Ye Qiu, Gu Tian found that even he couldn’t understand this kid, especially that mysterious mark. Even he felt a touch of suffocation; if the light had shone on his soul instead of Ge Tian’s, fearfully, he would have also perished.
"To survive the Nine Tribulations, and possessing mysterious marks, the future of this kid is truly something to look forward to."
After half an incense stick of time, the battle of Supreme Saints ended, Ye Qiu flew to Gu Tian, and sat down cross-legged.
"Entering a state of enlightenment so quickly?" Gu Tian was surprised, clicking his tongue in awe at Ye Qiu’s talent, finding it beyond normal comprehension.
At this moment, Ye Qiu’s mind began to absorb the martial arts experiences from the exchange with the Supreme Saint Elder. The reason it took half an incense stick of time was not because the battle was difficult. With his current realm and power, there wasn’t much of a gap with the opponent. Plus, he had three great treasures and the Six Paths Reincarnation Cultivation Technique; killing the Supreme Saint Elder was not hard.
The extra time spent was simply to leverage the opponent’s strength to temper his martial arts, consolidating his standing at the Supreme Saint level more firmly.
Already with deep foundations and accompanied by a Supreme Saint as a sparring partner, Ye Qiu’s strength soared, completely securing his position at the peak of the Saint level.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Ye Qiu emerged from cultivation, eyes opened, seeing Gu Tian still there. Upon Ye Qiu’s awakening, Gu Tian ceased his restoration as well.
"If not for you, senior, I doubt I would have survived this battle." Ye Qiu thanked Gu Tian, offering a fist salute.
Gu Tian smiled: "Helping you was also helping myself. If he resurrected using your body, he’d eventually personally kill me, so don’t thank me. You, however, are quite surprising, already aware of his presence."
Gu Tian referred to Ge Tian.
Ye Qiu laughed: "Without your reminder, senior, I wouldn’t have realized the crisis nested within my body. It was your previous words, suggesting you’d come when I reached Saint level, that sparked my suspicion."
"After the Heavenly Tribulation, the unsettling feeling remained, solidifying my conjecture."
"Within my body, only that mysterious eye carried enigma, so I guessed it had peculiarities. Though I didn’t know if it was good or bad, that remnant eye granted me power over Dark Flame, immensely benefiting me, yet I understand there’s no free lunch in the world. Whatever I gain from it, in time, will have to be repaid."
Watching Ye Qiu, Gu Tian inwardly marveled at Ye Qiu’s intricate thinking. Even facing danger, he remained composed, displaying an intimidating mental state.
"Speaking of which, I should thank him. Were it not for his treasure, and his cultivation technique, I wouldn’t be alive today. The cause and effect between us ended when he intended to kill me, with my survival sealing the debt, leaving me with nothing owed." Ye Qiu said.
"Didn’t expect you to delve into cause and effect so early, truly remarkable, youth is formidable." Gu Tian lamented.
Then, his gaze swept over the wilderness, saying: "Well, with Ge Tian’s demise, I should leave, pursue my path. Next time you’re in danger, I won’t appear, better to avoid too much cause and effect between us, since you give off quite a dangerous vibe."
Laughing heartily, Gu Tian departed, lifting the seal on this realm.
Ye Qiu bowed to him; Gu Tian had indeed helped greatly, otherwise, the mere incident of causing the Nine Tribulations would likely have brought unwanted attention.
Now, having successfully reached the Supreme Saint level, completely resolved his body’s hidden crisis, and slain the Donghua Holy Son and elder, the outcome was undoubtedly the best.
"The power of the Supreme Saint..." Ye Qiu regarded his fist, the immense force easily flowing by will around him, tens of times stronger than before.
Now, he had the capital for revenge, capable of pursuing whatever he desired.
"Hopefully, the upcoming cosmic journey proves more exciting, and the Taiyi Saint Heir, along with Stone Demon Lord’s Holy Son, can they stand against me..." Ye Qiu murmured.
