Chapter 1165: Became a Pre-saint

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

“How reckless. You dare try to pass the pre-saint trial while fighting me. You’ve really underestimated me.”

Saint Hongyuan opened his wings wide and formed a giant phantom of the divine elephant. Just as he was prepared to make attacks, he could feel that the trial clouds above his head were getting thicker and thicker. The forces made a saint like him feel dangerous.

Hua La.

Lightning flew across the sky. The trial clouds turned bright from time to time as if sky blades were traveling back and forth in the space.

Normally, when a level-nine half saint tried to pass the first pre-saint trial, the trial clouds were only ten miles long.

However, the trial cloud triggered by Gu Linfeng was more than forty miles long, and it was only getting longer and thicker.

“How is it possible? Is Gu Linfeng passing the third pre-saint trial instead of the first one?”

“If Gu Linfeng has already passed the first and the second pre-saint trial, the saintly way power from his body would be different, but I can’t feel the difference yet. He’s not a pre-saint,” a palace ruler from Blood God Sect said.

Until now, the half saints from Blood God Sect thought that Gu Linfeng was only a level-nine half saint.

“He’s only a level-nine half saint, but he’s confident enough to challenge Saint Hongyuan. The deity is indeed the best genius since Blood God Sect was established. If he can become a saint, he’ll dominate Kunlun’s Field.”

Discipline King Diyuan said, “The first pre-saint trial of his is that forceful, more forceful than the third pre-saint trial of many other monks. He might be killed by the trial lightning.”

Many monks also had the same idea as Discipline King Diyuan because Gu Linfeng had improved way too fast. He evolved from a level-two half saint to a level-nine half saint in less than a year, and now, he was going to pull through the first pre-saint trial.

How could he have a solid foundation by improving so fast?

If he didn’t have a solid foundation but tried to pull through the pre-saint trial, he would definitely be killed.

Saint Hongyuan was hesitant for a long time, but he eventually chose not to make attacks as he was afraid that he would be attacked by the trial lightning.

The trial cloud brought by Gu Linfeng had already covered an area of more than seventy square miles.

This was only the first pre-saint trial, yet it brought such a horrific lightning trial, which was out of the knowledge of all the monks present.

There’s no need for me to attack him. The four nine trials can kill him, Saint Hongyuan thought.

There was a force of killing in the sky and land as if a storm was coming. All the monks were thrilled by the majesty emanating from the trial clouds.

Hua La!

A bolt of lightning thick like a bucket rushed out of the trial cloud and hit toward Zhang Ruochen’s head.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t try to dodge it. He stood still, relaxing his body.

Chi Chi.

Zhang Ruochen felt that he was being suppressed by one hundred thousand mountains. His body shivered and dived two hundred feet before he could balance himself again.

He was still able to stand still in the space with lightning flowing around his body.

However, the trial lightning couldn’t hurt him, not even a little bit.

“How is it possible? Even I am not able to withstand that trial lightning, yet he wasn’t even injured at all? Is his body already invincible?” Saint Hongyuan was startled as if he had met a ghost.

When he was trying to pull through the pre-saint trial, he was almost killed. It wasn’t as easy as it was for Gu Linfeng.

Saint Hong Yuan transmitted his voice to Discipline King Diyuan and asked him whether he could kill Gu Linfeng now or not. After all, he would be much more difficult to deal with if he passed the pre-saint trial.

Discipline King Diyuan transmitted his voice to him and said, “If you get into the lightning trial area now, you might be killed even if you manage to end Gu Linfeng.”

“Can you do that yourself, grand master?”

Saint Hongyuan thought of Gu Linfeng as a huge threat that must be eradicated.

After thinking for a while, Discipline King Diyuan said, “Gu Linfeng is a deity after all. He has a special status. If I kill him, the other elders will hold it against me, which is not good for me to fight for the position of the hierarch.”

“Besides, the Four Nine Trial has thirty-six trial lightning in total; each one is more powerful than the last. Gu Linfeng might not be able to survive the end. If that trial lightning can kill him, there’s no need for me to do anything.”

Deafening cracking sounds came from the trial clouds, and the lightning struck like rainfall.

Hua La!

Hong!

…

After a short while, Zhang Ruochen went through eighteen lightning trials, and his entire body turned red like fresh china.

Every time he was struck, he would fly up, trying to get closer to the trial lightning.

“Sister Huang is right. The power from the trial lightning is indeed able to refine my body and saintly soul. Every time I am struck by the lightning, I feel that my entire body is purified. If I can pass the first pre-saint trial, I might be able to sanctify some apertures. I might even sanctify my entire body.”

Zhang Ruochen stopped thinking about other stuff. He performed his techniques, inhaling and exhaling the spiritual Qi.

The lightning trial became fiercer and fiercer. Each trace of lightning was destructive, melting the ground under Zhang Ruochen’s feet.

Especially the final nine traces of lightning, which poured down like nine waterfalls, devouring Zhang Ruochen as if they were going to destroy the world.

All the disciples from Blood God Sect held their breath, looking into the distance at the nine lightning waterfalls. Their feet couldn’t help trembling.

“He failed to pass the pre-saint trial?” Ji Shui sighed.

Although Gu Linfeng was pretty annoying and acted like a coward in Blue Dragon Void World, Ji Shui was still his uncle who saw him grow up.

Seeing him walk toward his destruction from his brilliance pained Ji Shui a little bit.

Shangguan Xianyan’s eyes glinted with feeble light. She observed the trial lightning carefully, but she couldn’t find Gu Linfeng at all. She said, “Was he killed already?”

The high-level members of Blood God Sect who were gathered in Guiyuan Divine Palace all had different feelings. Some of them smiled with relief as the death of Gu Linfeng meant one less competitor for them.

Hua!

A human being rushed out of the rock lake. He was half-naked, flying toward the space.

It was Zhang Ruochen.

Everyone was dazed, staring at Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen had successfully withstood the thirty-six trial lightnings, becoming a first-trial pre-saint.

After being refined by the lightning, the impurities in his body were eradicated. His body was glowing with holy light. Both his body constitution and saint souls had taken a great leap forward.

Zhang Ruochen pinched his fingers, making cracking sounds. He smiled. “Finally, I’ve become a pre-saint.”

Discipline King Diyuan glared at Zhang Ruochen. He moved his lips and said, “Gu Linfeng must’ve been severely injured during the trial. Kill him before he can solidify his cultivation.”

Hua.

The eyes of Saint Hongyuan gleamed. He immediately took action, putting his hands together, and a fire chain that was dozens of miles long flew out from between his eyebrows, forming a curve in the air.

The fiery chain was made of the backbones of twelve saintly beasts. They contained twelve different sainty way powers. As he triggered all of them, they could crack the mountains and the ground.

Even Saint Hongyuan could only wield the fiery chain three times.

If he couldn’t manage to kill Zhang Ruochen within three strikes, Saint Hongyuan would have to run for his life.

Saint Hongyuan didn’t want to resort to this technique, but he had no other choice.

Zhang Ruochen looked at the fiery chain flying toward him. He smiled as if it were nothing.

Just as the fiery chain was about to whip Gu Linfeng…

“Gu Linfeng is indeed powerful, but he’s too young and cocky. Didn’t he know that Saint Hongyuan killed a saint with that fiery bone demonic chain before?”

“The more wit, the less courage. Perhaps becoming a first-trial pre-saint will be the end of his saintly way.”

…

Zhang Ruochen slapped forward, and a giant handprint flew out of his Seven Kill Boxing Glove, getting larger and larger, turning into a mountain of five fingers.

Peng.

The forceful fiery bone demonic chain was knocked away, and the ‘five-finger mountain’ kept roaming forward, covering the body of Saint Hongyuan.

Saint Hongyuan yelled in great pain. The saintly bones started to crack in his body. His body was also shattered.

“So powerful…”

Saint Hongyuan turned around immediately and started to run away.

Gu Linfeng who just became a pre-saint looked invincible to him. At this moment, Saint Hongyuan couldn’t care less about his dignity as a saint anymore. He just wanted to run away.

I can’t let him run away, and I can’t give Discipline King Fayuan any chance to save him. I need to kill him as quickly as possible.

Zhang Ruochen kept infusing his eyes with the Holy Qi in his body.

Two deity prints started to spin in his eyes, and then, two gleaming light pillars were shot out of his pupils, hitting the head of Saint Hongyuan.

Peng.

The head of Saint Hongyuan was crushed, and his head exploded.

The headless body of Saint Hongyuan flew another ten miles and arrived outside Guiyuan Divine Palace. It walked four steps forward before it fell on the ground, with blood spilling everywhere.

If his head was cut off, he might have still lived after someone attached it back. After all, saints had great life forces.

However, the head of Saint Hongyuan was completely crushed, which meant he didn’t have a chance to survive.

Silence.

The sky and land went into deep silence. Most of the monks looked terrified.

A saint had been killed, in front of everyone.
