Chapter 2202

Ten years was not a long time for a cultivator.

But for the current Zi Chen, it was a rare long period of seclusion.

In the eyes of a cultivator, ten years was almost the blink of an eye, but it was enough for a lot of things to happen.

For example, in the Yue Clan, according to the clone refining a Saint Crystal every five months on average, ten years was enough to refine twenty-four Saint Crystals, which could create twenty-four Saints.

Ten years of continuous cultivation would allow Zi Chen's body to become even stronger. With the support of many fortuitous encounters, Saint Force would fill his entire body.

Ten years was enough for Brilliant to completely transform and become a true Saint, not only with a Saint Body, but also with a Saint Realm.

Ten years was also enough for the two sons of Xing Chen to merge perfectly, making Xing Chen a Saint like Brilliant.

They were special to begin with. Their physical Saint Energy was not cultivated step by step. Instead, it was condensed directly. Ten years was enough for them to fuse with it.

As the Moon Maiden of the Yue Clan, Ming Yue also had a Saint Body. This was specially prepared for Ming Yue by the Moon Ancestor. For some reason, Ming Yue was unable to merge perfectly, but in these ten years, she had merged perfectly.

Zi Chen had not come out for ten years, and no one knew his realm, but if he was said to be the strongest in the team, then many people would doubt it.

If Xing Chen and the other two were the strongest, then many people would silently agree.

In these short ten years, in the blink of an eye, there were three more powerful Saints in the Deyi Star Region. In addition, there were nearly ten more Saints.

Huan Kai had successfully entered the Saint Realm, and there were some others who had obtained Saint Crystals later, and they had also entered the Saint Realm.

During this period, there were many who were refining Saint Crystals, and after a certain period of time, they would also enter the Saint Realm.

Zambu Haolin and Zambu Haochu had stayed here for ten years, and their progress was not small.

In these ten years, Zambu Haoming came every three years, but he did not see Zi Chen.

The reason why he was so diligent was naturally because of the Saint's Might that had appeared in this part of the sky over the past ten years.

Zi Chen's speed and success rate in condensing Saint Crystals was astonishingly high, making Zan-Bu Haoming somewhat restless and eager to trade with Zi Chen a few times.

It was a pity that Zi Chen had been in seclusion for ten years and had not taken a single step outside. The only person who could see him was Deren.

Ten years wasn't a long time, but many things could happen. The outsiders could successfully break through the barrier of the Martial Heaven Continent and invade on a large scale.

Right now, the Martial Heaven Continent was embroiled in the flames of war.

But because of Su Mengyao's Great Net Plan, all the cities had seals above them. There were also Teleportation Matrices in the cities. As long as they had enough resources, a Heaven Realm cultivator could reach any designated location within a day.

The mortals of this world had all been moved to small worlds, while the villages, towns, and other forces had all been moved to cities.

In the entire Martial Heaven Continent, aside from the forces and sects, there were only magnificent cities left. These cities all had Heaven Realm experts overseeing them.

Aside from these Heaven Realm experts, existences like the devil ape, Longhu, and Barbarian Dragon were constantly shuttling between the cities. Once a city was in danger of being breached, they would immediately rush over to provide support.

As these people continued to provide support, over time, they were respectfully called Celestials!

These outsiders were unable to destroy the Martial Heaven Continent in a short time, and they could not waste their advantage in numbers. Therefore, they directly entered the Martial Heaven Continent to fight.

But when they arrived here, the situation was very different from what they had imagined. The people here were already prepared, and their defenses had also taken shape. The cities were like turtles that had retreated into their shells, making it impossible for the outsiders to find an opportunity to attack.

Once they gathered a certain amount of troops and prepared to break through the seals above a city, many Heaven Realm experts would quickly appear.

All of them flew out of the city.

Their numbers were relatively small, but their combat power was incomparably great. When they fought against Heaven Realm experts, they could practically slaughter those in the same realm.

Therefore, as soon as they entered this world, these outsiders met with trouble, a very big trouble.

Even if their target was only a very small city, they would still encounter powerful existences that could slaughter Heaven Realm experts, causing them to suffer heavy losses.

For a time, the outsiders were in a state of panic. They were all guessing how many terrifying experts there were on this continent.

In the Martial Heaven Continent, when facing the invasion of the outsiders, with the help of the Celestials, they saved many people and helped many cities to resolve the crisis.

Among them, there were many existences that they were familiar with. They were also existences that had always been famous, such as the Heaven Rending Devil Ape, the Evil Good Monk, and so on.

Other than that, there was also an extremely special existence. They were once looked down upon by others, but now they also had a respectable name, and that was the Night Walker!

They were assassins that hid in the darkness. But unlike many years ago, they no longer tried to assassinate human cultivation geniuses. Instead, they all turned their targets to the invading outsiders.

After they killed someone, they would always collect the enemy's head at the first moment. During that time, they would not let go of even one.

However, some people found that when these people collected the heads, they would only collect the heads that they had killed. As for the heads that others had killed, they wouldn't even ask about them.

As time passed, these people killed more and more outsiders. Adding on the fact that their individual combat power was so great, and they were so elusive, they began to be respected by others. They became Night Walkers on the same level as the Heaven Rending Devil Ape and the others.

Su Mengyao was overseeing the Everlasting Sect. As one of the Martial Heaven Continent's major powers, as well as the Heaven-Defier Zi Chen's power, they naturally received special treatment from the outsiders.

However, this sect had far more experts than the outsiders had expected. From the start of the battle, they had never taken the initiative to retreat. Each time, they would send out an army of experts to fight the outsiders head-on.

This region could be said to be the most miserable place in the entire southern region. The majority of the outsiders' forces were held here. Su Mengyao and Zi Chen's close female friends would go to battle almost every time, personally participating in the battle. Their power was shocking.

After being unable to take down the outsiders for a long time, the outsiders had no choice but to request for the Heaven-Defiers to return. Although many Heaven-Defiers had been scared away by Zi Chen back then and had stepped onto the star path, there were still some who remained in the outsiders' territory, waiting for orders.

These Heaven-Defiers were all powerful. After entering the Martial Heaven Continent, they had caused quite a bit of trouble.

On the same day, two cities had been captured. The formations in those cities had been destroyed in an instant. The majority of the cultivators in those cities had already left, but there were still quite a few who had died.

However, on that day, the outsiders had also lost two Heaven-Defiers.

One of them had been killed by the Heaven Rending Devil Ape, while the other had been assassinated by the Night Walkers.

"Weren't these Heaven-Defiers scared away by Zi Chen?

How dare they come here? They're simply courting death! "

Hearing the news, Evil Good and Evil slammed the table and stood up. He directly left the city to find the Heaven-Defiers.

In the entire world, everyone knew that Zi Chen was powerful and could kill Heaven-Defiers. However, no one knew that Evil Good and Evil Good was much stronger than Zi Chen. He had even dealt with Zi Chen.

Because Zi Chen's edge had been too dazzling, he had almost become a foil.

Now that Zi Chen was gone, Evil Good and Evil Good's era had finally arrived. In one day, he had killed three Heaven-Defiers. In other places, the Heaven Rending Devil Ape, Formation Master Lv Peng, and the others were also killing Heaven-Defiers.

…

…

Ten years was enough time for those cultivators who bore the mission of saving people and searching for opportunities to enter the true star path.

Man Shi, Shun Tiandao, and the others had been fighting along the way. It was very difficult for them to survive. They firmly believed that there would be opportunities to become Saints on the star path. They firmly believed that the star path would be very beautiful, and that they would be able to find Zi Chen.

They were accompanied by many people along the way. During the journey, they would encounter many companions. The group was growing and shrinking, as if it was an endless cycle.

When they walked out of the star path and saw many shining planets, they cheered and roared excitedly, thinking that they had ushered in a new life.

Unfortunately, what awaited them was destruction, crazy destruction!

As far as they could see, all the cultivators that appeared were enemies. These enemies were all crazy and killed as soon as they saw them.

Although they had killed along the way, they still couldn't get used to this way of killing. After losing some companions, Man Shi and the others finally became bloodthirsty and began to kill these people.

Like the outsiders, as long as they could see a cultivator, as long as they didn't come from a life star, they would kill them on sight.

The star path showed them the cruelest side, but it also showed them the strong side. Half-Saints and False Saints could appear at any time, and their battle strength was very strong.

Man Shi and the others' group was shrinking. They began to flee in the star path. They could only rely on plundering to recover their energy. They couldn't find places to trade, because the cultivators in those trading places would also attack them.

Therefore, when they ran out of resources, they would plunder the trading places and slaughter all the living creatures in the trading places.

Their numbers were getting smaller and smaller, but they were gradually familiarizing themselves with the rules of the star path.

…

…

After ten years of seclusion, Zi Chen finally came out. He opened his eyes and stretched. His bones made a sound like frying beans. His whole body was shining. It was the light of Saint Power.

The light of Saint Power filled every part of his body.

Now, Zi Chen was fully deserving of being a Saint. His physical body had already condensed all of the Saint Power.

However, he was still thousands of miles away from the legendary level where his body and bones were comparable to Saint Weapons.

It was very difficult to reach this level. Even Xing Chen and the others hadn't reached this level yet, but they could still be called Saints.

After ten years of seclusion, Zi Chen had become a Saint.

Walking out of the Cauldron of All Things Origin, Zi Chen saw his clone in the hall. Because of the Void Monarch Tree, the clone didn't dissipate after ten years. In these ten years, the clone had a deeper understanding of Harmonious Spirit Master.

Seeing Zi Chen, the clone smiled and then merged with Zi Chen's real body.

The clone's understanding in these ten years would become Zi Chen's understanding at this moment.
