Chapter 1520
by post_apiChapter 1520: Transcendent Soul Tamer
Amidst the resounding shouts, the clear and distant sky suddenly burst into brilliant golden light, overflowing with holy radiance.
In the empty space, various celestial phenomena appeared, and a colossal golden shadow, like the ancient Xuantian Warlord descending from the heavens, looked down upon the wicked ants of the world. Its boundless might oppressed all beings, descending upon the venue!
"Zoom, zoom, zoom!"
At this moment, above the front empty space, several faint golden lights appeared, and several enormous saint king figures quickly flew towards the stage. Each step covered ten miles, and each breath was tens of thousands of feet.
The empty space trembled, and the earth shook. The rumbling sound echoed endlessly in the depths of the void, vibrating in all directions.
Vast aura spread from the distant sky, with radiant rosy clouds and interweaving clouds.
The distant, faint clouds were immediately stirred by a powerful and holy energy. The sky suddenly brightened, and there was constant shimmering light between heaven and earth. The blinding golden light and strong wind covered the sky, making people feel uneasy.
"The aura of the saint king!"
Su Yi’s gaze shifted slightly. He knew the aura of the saint king very well. Elder Saint Fire, Nanan Ruyu, and Chu Changhuan had all fought against him using this aura.
Baicao Mountain erupted like a volcano, with the sound wave reaching the sky and causing the horizon’s glow to shake.
The images covered the sky, as if they were about to swallow the sun and the moon. Among the excited gazes, a few small figures gradually solidified.
Leading the way was Fifth Saint Child, wearing a flowing golden red robe that shimmered with brilliance. His long black hair flowed elegantly like a waterfall, shining like a precious jade from Kunlun. With a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows, and shining eyes, he stood with his hands behind his back. He had an elegant and noble presence, as if he looked down upon the world with absolute dominance.
His figure was surrounded by a large and hazy shadow. A sense of pride and aloofness emanated from his brows. The holy light surrounding him was like a surging flood, as if he were the supreme god ruling over everything, intending to eradicate all.
Xue Honglou’s face remained calm, and a hidden and powerful aura surged within him. He scanned the entire venue slowly, with a dazzling light in his eyes. The holy energy emanating from his body was powerful enough to sweep across all directions.
"Hmm! Fifth Saint Child is even more radiant! I truly admire him!" Deacon Xuanyuan behind him smiled and touched his beard, showing endless admiration in his eyes.
"It’s the Fifth Saint Child! Eldest sister, the Saint Child has already reached the second grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm!"
The arrival of the Fifth Saint Child made Ouyang Jinwei, who was always proud, unable to sit still. She tightly held Li Ling beside her, and her eyes suddenly shimmered. She dared not look directly, only stealing glances. Li Ling also looked at the Fifth Saint Child with a smile, shining brightly like a holy celestial being. A slight blush appeared on her face due to joy.
Ouyang Yuanfeng, who had been waiting on the side, saw that the Fifth Saint Child had already ascended the Sacred Light Platform. He immediately led the Central Region city guards to half-kneel, shouting loudly.
"May the Fifth Saint Child be safe and honored! We respectfully welcome the Fifth Saint Child!"
Deacon Xuanyuan, behind them, also followed suit and half-knelt. All the disciples present also half-knelt, with devout eyes. They echoed Ouyang Yuanfeng in unison.
At this moment, Su Yi and Yun Jing on the ninth high platform stood tall and proud, as if they had planned it. While all the disciples knelt, they remained straight and faced it with arrogance.
From Su Yi’s eyes, a fierce and intense sense of hostility and battle intent emerged. The chilling bloodthirsty aura shot towards Xue Honglou like a blade.
"Having me, Su Yi, kneel for you is simply a huge joke!" Su Yi coldly smirked in his heart.
Faced with the kneeling of tens of thousands of disciples, Xue Honglou’s eyes finally flashed a subtle, imperceptible fluctuation. He surveyed again, but immediately caught sight of Su Yi and Yun Jing who were not kneeling.
A faint coldness appeared in the calm eyes, but it wasn’t shown too much.
Then, Xue Honglou slowly spoke to everyone present. He spoke clearly and forcefully, like the sound of thunder. The powerful aura of the saint king surrounded him, and the energy of the world filled the sacred light platform.
"Please stand up, everyone!"
Everyone immediately stood up, their eyes expressing admiration. Some crazy female disciples even fainted at the sight of Xue Honglou’s extremely handsome face before the ceremony began.
"Wow!" A deep and magnetic voice made everyone gasp in unison.
"It’s the Saint Child, Xue Honglou the Saint Child! We finally get to see him in person! He’s so handsome!"
"He’s not even thirty yet, but he’s already at the second grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm! Such incredible talent!" Some female disciples covered their faces and exclaimed.
"I must enter Sacred Mountain and see the Saint Child in person! Look at how he’s always with the holy maiden, and look at us! It’s so unfair!"
Some male disciples nearby pounded their chests and stomped their feet. Even before the official ceremony began, they were already completely overshadowed by the Fifth Saint Child, with no room for defiance.
Su Yi’s gaze gradually returned, and he felt a shiver in his heart when he just looked at Fifth Saint Child.
Then he hurriedly activated the Heavens Taming Incantation, and the Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul returned to calmness. Su Yi rarely felt this way, especially when it came to controlling soul power, he unexpectedly fell short.
"It’s really him! He’s also a Soul Tamer! And very strong!"
In an instant, Su Yi made several judgments about Xue Honglou. He was able to find a trace of danger among countless people. Just this alone was much better than Wang Quande, who was just trash.
And with only the cultivation of the Yuan Emperor Realm Second Stage, he could display the power of a saint king without any weakness compared to the Yuan Zong Realm. This talent was unmatched among the people present and should also be considered rare among Saint Children. Compared to Nanan Ruyu, it was like heaven and earth.
The most crucial point was that Xue Honglou seemed even stronger than when they encountered each other at Lingbao Pavilion last time.
Such progress cannot be determined solely by talent. Su Yi felt a chill in his heart. Xue Honglou was far from being as simple as Nanan Ruyu or Chu Changhuan.
At this moment, Su Yi already regarded Xue Honglou as a future enemy because he could feel Xue Honglou’s absolute terrifying strength. Perhaps, just like himself, Xue Honglou was someone who could surpass their realm.
While he was pondering, Su Yi heard a huffing sound from his inner spirit. His gaze turned to the eighth high platform where Yun Jing was rolling her eyes at Xue Honglou.
"I thought he was someone important! Thinking he’s the Holy Lord of Sacred Mountain?"
Yunjing looked at Xue Honglou’s proud posture with disdain. Using her energy, she transmitted a message to Su Yi, her beautiful face full of scorn and contempt. Her eyebrows and eyes showed a hint of disgust.
"Indeed, all the Saint Child holy maidens of Sacred Mountain carry an air of arrogance and self-importance. It’s hard to like them!" Su Yi chuckled softly. In this regard, Su Yi and Yunjing shared the same view.
"At such a young age, he has only achieved the second grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm. Compared to you, he’s nothing! Hmph! Do you hate him too? I’ll help you get rid of him!"
