Chapter 72: Rebirth as the Great Villain (Finale)
"This… is what it means to be a 'Saint'?"
Su Chen reveled in the overwhelming, terrifying power coursing through him. Now he understood why beings who reached the Saint realm were revered so absolutely in this world.
The invasion of the forbidden zone by the Profound Origin Sacred Land and the great war across the Southwest Domains had both involved Saints, but battles of that caliber had been far beyond his right to even witness.
Today, by drawing upon the majority of the Gu Clan's accumulated strength to fully awaken the Ancient Saint Sword, a fragment of the ancient saint's lingering power had revived within him. For the first time, he truly tasted a portion of a Saint's dreadfulness. This power could effortlessly crush any being beneath the Saint realm.
Su Chen wasted no words. The borrowed might of the ancient saint would not last long. He had to kill Lin Zhan before it faded. He raised the Ancient Saint Sword. A single beam of sword light tore across the sky as though it intended to cleave the firmament in two. The horrifying ripple made even distant powerhouses recoil in alarm.
"In the past, the Ancient Saint dominated the Northern Desert—truly terrifying. One Ancient Saint Sword felled countless heroes. Who could possibly force the Gu Clan to this point? Even the Ancient Saint Sword has been drawn and fully awakened. A saint artifact at complete revival would give even an ordinary Saint a headache.
"So tragic… I can feel the Gu Clan's territory turning into a furnace of flesh and blood. Even if they win this war, the clan will exist in name only. A saint weapon like this will surely attract the covetous eyes of countless devils and demons."
"…"
As that sky-splitting sword beam appeared, another terrifying force blanketed the Northern Desert.
