Chapter 339: Is This the Power of a Saint?
"Is it a Saint from the Profound Sun Holy Land?!" Duke Zheng roared.
This falling meteor spanned over a thousand miles. Its original size was impossible to verify, only that it had been refined by great divine power, shrinking from its immense form down to roughly a thousand miles in diameter.
To most present, that range might not seem vast—but the meteor was wrapped in the power of natural laws, sealing the surrounding space completely.
Everyone present was frozen in place, unable to move even a single step. They could only watch helplessly as the meteor, carrying unparalleled might, roared down from the sky.
"This isn't a newly advanced Saint—this must be at least a peak Saint making a move! Your Great Chu Dynasty's intelligence is wrong!" The black-shrouded figure's voice trembled as he spoke.
Earlier, he had been full of confidence.
But now, faced with life and death, it was impossible not to feel fear.
According to their information, the Saint of Profound Sun Holy Land had only recently broken through and was still in seclusion, while Li Xun was still on his way back.
Killing a few core disciples should have been insignificant—hardly worth concern.
After all, Profound Sun Holy Land shouldn't have been able to do anything to them.
At most, the Holy Lord might personally come to question them—but his strength was only at the peak of the Divine Palace Realm, nothing to be feared.
Yet what they never expected was this—
They had just killed a few Profound Sun disciples, and immediately afterward, a Saint made a move. Judging from the power, it was at least late-stage Saint level…
Or perhaps even a peak Saint!
After all, this was the power to pluck stars and seize the moon!
Such methods were not something a newly advanced Saint could wield with ease.
"Could it be…?"
At this moment, Duke Zheng seemed to realize something. He suddenly turned toward the direction of Profound Sun Holy Land and muttered:
"Li Xun has returned?"
Li Xun was a Ten-Tribulation Saint.
After achieving sainthood, his strength was beyond ordinary comprehension.
Even if he claimed he could rival a peak Saint, no one would doubt it. At present, there was no other explanation for such a phenomenon.
"Why would he return so quickly?"
Just as this thought arose—
BOOM!
—The meteor struck.
In an instant, the earth shook and the heavens roared. A terrifying shockwave spread in all directions, vast and unstoppable. Mountains collapsed, ancient trees were shattered—everything in its path was annihilated.
It was a scene like the end of the world.
All the experts sent by the Great Chu Dynasty, including Duke Zheng and several Otherworldly Demons, didn't even have time to scream before being reduced to ashes.
Even though Duke Zheng and the demons had refined countless Blood Essence Stones, in the face of absolute power, even if they revived, they would be instantly killed again.
Over and over—until not a single living being remained in what was once Chenfeng Valley.
…
Rumble—!
The aftershock spread outward.
The profound Sun Holy Land was thousands of kilometers away from Chenfeng Valley—a distance once considered vast.
But now, it felt far too close.
Almost no one clearly saw Li Xun's action. They only witnessed a meteor trailing a long blaze descend from the sky, and then at the edge of the horizon, a gray tidal wave that blotted out the heavens swept rapidly toward them.
This fluctuation was enough to shake one's soul. If caught within it, although a Divine Palace Realm expert might survive, it's not without severe injury.
Most of the cultivators within the Profound Sun Holy Land were cultivators below the Life and Death Realm, if not for the protective mountain formation, many would have already fled in panic.
"Disperse." Li Xun spoke softly.
With a wave of his sleeve, a divine light shot forth—like the hand of the heavens gently smoothing the void—calming the chaotic, torn-apart world as if it were a piece of ragged cloth.
In that instant, everything became calm and serene—the chaos quickly subsided.
"This…"
Seeing such methods, whether it was the Profound Sun Holy Lord, the various elders, or the countless disciples, all stood frozen in place, speechless for a long time.
Was this the power of a Saint?
What had just occurred looked, to many, like the wrath of heaven itself. Yet with a single word from Li Xun, it was as if his words carried the law—everything vanished into nothing.
It was utterly inconceivable.
"The Holy Son truly passed ten layers of heavenly tribulation?"
Among the elders, Elder Xie spoke in a daze, a hint of disbelief on his aged face.
"Mm." Li Xun nodded.
Hearing his confirmation, no one knew how to express their feelings.
They felt as if Profound Sun Holy Land's ancestors must have once saved the entire Ancient Desolation Continent—or perhaps even the whole world.
Otherwise, how could such a once-in-millions-of-years genius appear in their once-second rate sect?
Without Li Xun, Profound Sun Holy Land might still be nothing more than Profound Sun Sect, far from its current glory.
Elder Xie looked Li Xun up and down, emotions mixed in his heart. Back then, he had even considered taking Li Xun as a disciple.
Now it seemed he had truly overestimated himself.
Even now, he was still lingering in the Life and Death Realm, while Li Xun had already become a Saint. Such a cultivation speed was almost unmatched throughout the ages.
Perhaps only in ancient times could someone achieve such a feat.
After all, back then, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was far more abundant, making cultivation several times faster than in the present era.
"It's good that the Holy Son has returned. With you here, the matters ahead may be easier to resolve." Elder Xie sighed.
"It's no longer appropriate to call him Holy Son." Elder Chen shook his head slightly as he spoke.
He had once served as Li Xun's protector. Over the past few years, his strength had improved further, reaching the early stage of the Divine Palace Realm. Even his appearance had grown younger.
If he hadn't spoken, Li Xun might not have recognized that the middle-aged man in his thirties before him was the same white-haired Elder Chen from before.
"Alright."
The Profound Sun Holy Lord waved his sleeve, then looked at Li Xun and said gently:
"Since the matter at Chenfeng Valley has been resolved, shall we proceed to the main hall to discuss what comes next?"
"Very well." Li Xun nodded.
