Chapter 632: Saint Sage Secret Realm

The gash torn in the Firmament gradually healed. The Eye of the Firmament entered it and vanished, leaving only a furious roar to echo between heaven and earth!

The endless sea of thunderbolts also receded into the void, gradually dissipating!

Countless experts were shaken, staring up at the sky, unable to regain their senses for a long time. They were still immersed in the memory of that heaven-shattering collision.

They couldn’t—and didn’t dare to—imagine that the Heaven Defier had survived the judgment of the Celestial Dao. Even the Light of Destruction had failed to execute him!

This was absolutely unprecedented!

Even more incredibly, that golden figure had used world-shaking Combat Power and Heaven-Defying Means to injure the supreme Eye of the Firmament, the very entity all living beings feared!

That heaven-slaying Battle Spear had pierced the Eye of the Firmament, as if declaring to all beings in the Grand Emperor Domain that the heavens were not invincible!

’A Supreme Hero, a Heaven-Defying prodigy! He is truly worthy of the titles!’

One by one, the experts were inspired, their fighting spirit soaring and their blood boiling with excitement!

Who else would dare to battle the heavens? Only that single golden figure!

"I have lived for several thousand years. To witness this moment, I can die with no regrets!"

A group of ancient experts sighed in admiration and stepped out from the void, heading toward the Fiery Sun Sect. They wanted to meet this legendary figure!

Ye Wushuang stood beneath the Firmament, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon coiling around him and roaring at the sky. Tempered by the fierce Thunderbolt, its Golden Holy Feathers looked even more divinely majestic!

He was like a heaven-conquering True God, incomparably majestic and sacred!

His cold eyes glanced toward the spot where the Eye of the Firmament had vanished, then turned toward the direction of the Earth Palace.

A figure in a King’s Robe stood there.

His expression was completely colorless, stiff and pale. Endless Death Qi radiated from his body, as if threatening to stain heaven and earth into a Hell Death Realm!

’King Yama!’

Gazing across the distance, Ye Wushuang knew this person’s identity.

’The Eye of the Firmament retreated because of him. Otherwise, the great battle would have continued!’

"I was able to injure the Eye of the Firmament today. Next time, I won’t need you as my protector. I will be able to destroy it myself!"

Ye Wushuang’s gaze pierced the void, and his resolute voice, filled with confidence, rippled through the air!

Ye Wushuang had learned a bit about King Yama from the Dragon Cat. He was his protector, who, like the War Soul Army, had been slumbering in the Earth Palace all this time!

"There is not much time left. You... must be quick. Otherwise..."

King Yama looked up at the Firmament, and his stiff voice rang in Ye Wushuang’s ears.

Ye Wushuang detected a hint of urgency and worry in his voice.

’He knows,’ Ye Wushuang thought. ’The heavens are about to awaken.’

Ye Wushuang had no way of knowing how strong the heavens were, but he knew that even the Breaking Realm Demon Monarch, a Saint Sage, had fallen. It was not something his current self could ever hope to contend with!

BOOM!

As his voice faded, King Yama’s figure grew faint and vanished.

Ye Wushuang also withdrew his gaze and surveyed the world around him.

At this moment, the Fiery Sun Sect had been reduced to ruins. Countless surviving Disciples of the Fiery Sun Sect trembled in fear, huddled together!

Around them, terrifying arcs of Thunderbolt crackled and leaped.

This was the Thunder of Destruction; it wasn’t something they could withstand!

The two old men at the third layer of the Divine Silence Level also stared at Ye Wushuang, their faces filled with terror. They felt a profound sense of powerlessness and fear!

’The Eye of the Firmament itself was defeated by this Demon Fiend. How laughable that we actually schemed to kill him and even insulted him, calling him an arrogant fool!’

WHOOSH!

Just then, from a patch of the Fiery Sun Sect’s Ruins, a white shadow shot out and rushed toward Ye Wushuang.

"Kid, mission complete!"

The white shadow landed beside Ye Wushuang, chuckled slyly, and tossed him a Storage Ring.

Inside were the contents of the Fiery Sun Sect’s Treasure Vault.

Ye Wushuang didn’t look closely and just put it away. ’This Dragon Cat rascal has definitely pocketed a few treasures for himself. It’d be useless to ask anyway!’

He immediately activated the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique. The endless, scattered Power of thunder and lightning was completely devoured by countless black holes and absorbed into his body.

His Divine Sense and soul rapidly merged, forming an illusory miniature person.

This was his newly formed Divine Soul. A Golden Lotus floated at the center of the Divine Soul’s brow—the Destiny Golden Lotus!

And floating above the Destiny Golden Lotus was a Thunder Seal.

This was the Destruction Thunder Seal, formed from devouring the Thunder of Destruction. It could be used for a Divine Soul Attack and could also defend against the Divine Soul Attacks of other Cultivators. It was truly wondrous!

’To get something like this just from undergoing a single tribulation is an incredible bargain!’

With his Divine Soul formed, the weakness from using the Supreme Transformation True Demon technique gradually faded. His Cultivation steadily rose, and he finally broke through to the Soul Transformation Level!

’Now that I’ve broken through to the Soul Transformation Level, I believe I can contend with an ordinary Yun Dao Level expert using my other abilities, without even resorting to the Supreme Transformation True Demon or the War Dragon Dao.’

Ye Wushuang muttered to himself. If he used all his trump cards, even defeating a Yun Dao expert would be no problem at all!

"I have to admit, I didn’t expect you to be strong enough to injure the Eye of the Firmament. But don’t get too careless, kid. That thing is the eye of the heavens, a Pseudo-Saint Level existence. You probably only managed to hurt it because it was being careless. It’ll likely be prepared next time," the Dragon Cat said, its shifty eyes darting around.

Ye Wushuang knew this well. If it weren’t for the heaven-defying method, the War Dragon Dao, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand the Light of Destruction alone.

’However, my strength will have increased by next time,’ he thought. ’Then, I won’t just injure it. I’ll annihilate it completely!’

"By the way, what Realm is the Pseudo-Saint Level?" Ye Wushuang asked, his gaze sharpening.

The Dragon Cat replied, "A Saint Sage is a saint of heaven and earth. They borrow the Path of Heaven and Earth to comprehend their own Dao Principles. They then use Supreme Dao Principles to cultivate a heart of the Dao, which is also known as a Dao Fruit. A Pseudo-Saint, on the other hand, is a being that possesses a Saint Bone Body and can borrow the Path of Heaven and Earth, but has not yet cultivated a Dao Fruit. As for their power and special characteristics, you’ll understand when you reach that stage."

"Pseudo-Saint? Saint Sage?"

Ye Wushuang murmured, "Is the Saint Sage Realm the end?"

"Who said the Saint Sage Realm is the end?"

Hearing Ye Wushuang’s muttering, the Dragon Cat gave him a look as if to say, ’You’re so ignorant.’ It then said, "Kid, your Cultivation has now reached the Nirvana Realm. There are some things you should know."

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang turned to stare at the Dragon Cat, his eyes glinting with anticipation.

Seeing his expression, the Dragon Cat bared its teeth and said, "You probably don’t know this, but the realms of Body Tempering, Qi Vortex, True Essence, Spiritual Spring, Yin and Yang, and Nirvana are actually all just minor realms. They all fall under one collective name: the Physical Secret Realm. The main purpose of this Secret Realm is to unearth the treasures of the body. When one undergoes Nirvana and sheds their mortality, they break the shackles of the physical body and enter the next Secret Realm, which is the Saint Sage Secret Realm!"

"The Saint Sage Secret Realm?"

This was the first time Ye Wushuang had ever heard of cultivation being classified by "Secret Realms"!

"The Saint Sage Secret Realm builds upon the foundation of the physical body. It involves comprehending the Dao of heaven and earth and integrating it with one’s body to achieve a state of unity. The Saint Sage Secret Realm itself is further divided into stages like Saint Sage, Great Saint, Saint King, and Great Divine Power User!"

The Dragon Cat continued, "Those are the truly powerful experts. So, kid, you still have a long way to go. Don’t limit yourself to a backwater place like the Grand Emperor Domain. You need to look ahead and understand that your future isn’t just a dream—it’s more fantastical than any dream!"

As it spoke, the Dragon Cat propped its chin on its paw, immediately striking the pose of a great sage guiding a lost youth!

Ye Wushuang had been listening with rapt attention, but he didn’t expect the rascal to cap it all off with that line. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he kicked the Dragon Cat right out of the sky!

"AHH! You bastard!"

The Dragon Cat shrieked miserably...
