Chapter 1253: Wu Yuans Strength (2)
After six full hours of non-stop combat, Wu Yuan's repeated all-out assaults had honed his saber techniques to near perfection. Each strike grew more powerful than the last, rendering True Saint Mu Jiang's defenses progressively less effective. The gap between their capabilities continued to widen.
His power is still increasing? Mu Jiang realized with dawning horror.
This! Is this the talent of the greatest prodigy since the Primordium? True Saint Mu Jiang's pride crumbled into bitter ash.
In his prime, he too had been the greatest genius of his generation within the River of Universes. He had dazzled an entire era, dominated the Samsara Rankings as an Overlord, and stepped triumphantly into eternity.
Back then, he considered himself no less talented than Overlord Yue Shan.
Indeed, who among those who ascended to True Sainthood hadn’t shone brightly during their time as sempiternal lifeforms? It was simply that when comparing legends to legends, the differences became painfully apparent.
Wu Yuan was the most extraordinary prodigy since the dawn of the Primordium itself.
I cannot wait for Yan Huo's arrival. True Saint Mu Jiang finally admitted. He glared at Wu Yuan, eyes burning with defiance as he roared, "Wu Yuan, I will return!"
"Return?" Wu Yuan's voice remained calm, but carried a sharp edge.
"I await your return," he continued, "but I should also warn you: When you resurrect and face me again, my power will only have grown. Since I stepped onto the path of cultivation, no one I’ve surpassed has ever managed to catch up to me again."
True Saint Mu Jiang's heart constricted painfully.
He could not refute these words, for it was indeed the truth.
