Chapter 738 Beaten Back (2/2)

Palace master Sheng Yuan narrowed his eyes, “What do you mean?”

“I just want to tell you that it isn’t safe to rely on other people’s things to achieve the Saint stage.”

Patriarch Cang Xuan folded his hands together. “Heart of Saint, scatter!”

As his voice rang out, palace master Sheng Yuan was horrified to see countless specks of golden light uncontrollably float out from his body.

Each speck of golden light contained a boundless power. It was the heart of Saint that he had absorbed earlier!

Palace master Sheng Yuan tried to stop the golden light specks from escaping, but his efforts were all in vain. He quickly realized that these specks of golden light had a will of their own.

A will that came from patriarch Cang Xuan.

Numerous golden specks of light rose from palace master Sheng Yuan’s body before dissipating. The majestic power contained in them made the nearby Genesis Qi turn incredibly concentrated.

Palace master Sheng Yuan’s face darkened.

The golden Saint flame lotus above his head swayed and finally shattered, turning back into a tiny wisp.

Palace master Sheng Yuan’s cultivation instantly reverted back to the false Saint stage.

An uproar swept across the experts of the many sects in the area. Nobody had thought that patriarch Cang Xuan could beat palace master Sheng Yuan back to his original cultivation state.

However, what puzzled everyone even more was that patriarch Cang Xuan did not follow up with any attacks.

Palace master Sheng Yuan stared darkly at patriarch Cang Xuan. He had not escaped in fear after falling back to the false Saint stage because he could sense that patriarch Cang Xuan was trying to save as much power as possible.

“What are you worried about?” palace Master Sheng Yuan sneered.

He shot a glance at Yaoyao as his lips curved into an unfathomable smile, “Are you worried about drawing the sacred race here if you use too much power?”

Patriarch Cang Xuan’s face was indifferent but his eyes turned as cold as a knife.

Palace master Sheng Yuan was right. Although the sacred race had detected Yaoyao’s presence, it wasn’t easy to break through the Chaos Origin Sacred Killer Array. Therefore, patriarch Cang Xuan didn’t want to use his power in hopes that the sacred race would not discover this battlefield.

After all, Cangxuan Heaven was extremely vast and it was difficult for even the top experts of the sacred race to fully probe the area with the Chaos Origin Sacred Killer Array covering it.

Even now, he couldn't use all his power to deal with palace master Sheng Yuan, because he was merely a Spirit fragment and needed to conserve as much strength as possible to cope with what would happen next.

After all, he couldn’t let Yaoyao fully break the seal.

Palace master Sheng Yuan grinned, “Cang Xuan, I only wanted to use the sacred race and have not truly sided with them. If you give me the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, I will not intervene in the subsequent events.”

Patriarch Cang Xuan’s lips curved in a mocking smile, “Sheng Yuan, your knees have already bent once, so don’t try to act tough in front of me. You do not deserve to hold the Cangxuan Saint Stamp.”

Sheng Yuan lowered his gaze. “It seems that you won’t agree?”

He shook his head.

“Cangxuan, you forced me to do this---”

He stretched out his palm, revealing a vertical golden eye. In the next moment, he clenched his hand and crushed the eye.

When the golden eye shattered, a wave of energy unperceivable to ordinary people shot into the sky.

Patriarch Cang Xuan’s eyes widened in shock and anger upon seeing. He didn’t think that palace master Sheng Yuan would still be in possession of a golden sacred eye that could notify the sacred race!

“Sheng Yuan, you deserve to die!”

The enraged patriarch Cang Xuan no longer cared about conserving his strength as a majestic power pulsed outwards.

However, just as he was about to attack, his heart pounded and he looked up with a stormy face.
