Chapter 378: The Appearance of a Great Saint

“The Dashang Empire… What a disgrace to the human race!”

Countless human experts looked at the writhing flesh and spoke out.

Earlier, due to the protection of the formation, along with the fact that these people were dressed in Dashang soldiers’ uniforms, many did not recognize their identity at first glance.

But now, after withstanding an attack from the Saint King Realm master and hearing the azure dragon1 s roar, the difference between ordinary Dashang soldiers and dark creatures was quickly revealed.

“Colluding with dark creatures deserves death!”

The Wang family patriarch’s eyes were cold as he spoke.

As his words fell, he clenched his fist and the sky shook. In his palm, ten thousand rays of divine light shot forth.

Immediately after, a long sword as white as jade appeared and slashed at the formation below. This was a sacred weapon, though he had not personally refined it himself. It was a sacred weapon left behind by the Wang ancestors. Today, he was finally able to put it to use.

The sword light was like a rainbow, sweeping across the nine heavens and causing ripples in the void. Although a saint’s might could not compare to that of a saint king, it was not something just anyone could resist.

Under watchful eyes all around, everyone saw the sword light cut into the formation. Just when they thought this sword would cause Dashang unimaginable damage, while it was still in the air…

Bang!

A large black hand reached out from the void, grabbed the sword light, and squeezed it into nothingness.

“Haha…”

A hoarse laugh rang out as a black shadow shrouded in black fog appeared before everyone. He was emaciated but extremely tall, at least ten feet! He stood there quietly yet gave off an indescribable sense of oppression.

“A mere junior who just became a saint dares to be arrogant before me?”

“This is… A Saint Realm dark creature!’1

Seeing the man before them, everyone’s pupils suddenly constricted. A saint from the world of dark creatures had appeared!

It looked as if… the Dashang Empire had been working with the dark creatures for quite some time now! After all, if the spatial passageway had just been opened, a Saint Realm dark creature would definitely not have appeared so soon. At the very least, one would have to wait until the passage was completely stable.

‘That’s right.11

The saint sneered and casually swept his gaze across the crowd. When his eyes glanced over Long Wu, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The strongest person present was only a saint king… for him, this was good news. As long as no Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouses appeared, there would be no major problems.

“You dare think to suppress us? Since you’ve come today, then stay!”

The hoarse voice sounded like two stones grinding, yet was extremely overbearing. As it echoed throughout the world, it also shook the entire Dashang Empire.

“Haha! How arrogant!”

“Such shameless boasting! You’re courting death!”

“A mere dark creature, do you really think the human race is powerless?”

Several shouts rang out. In the sky, two saints descended and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the Wang family patriarch, attacking the dark creature.

Having reached this level, they deeply understood the other’s terror. No one would be arrogant enough to think they could defeat a dark creature of the same level alone. Just to be safe, joining forces was the most prudent approach.

The three human experts fought against the single dark creature. The aftermath was nothing short of devastating, the four figures disappearing into the void itself as even the stars in the sky were blasted apart.

For a moment, killing intent surged like a raging tide, the terrifying shockwaves spreading for tens of thousands of miles like a vast ocean, unfathomable.

Below, within the Imperial City, countless armies kept surging into the formation through the cracks, yet because the gaps were too narrow, it was impossible for everyone to pass through instantly. Instead, this allowed the Dashang experts to seize the opportunity and barely block the attack for now.

Reacting extremely quickly in this short stalemate, countless Dashang experts rushed into the sky. Many joined the fray immediately while others chose to surrender the moment they appeared. In the past, they had no chance to rebel, but with the formation now broken, if they could not find an opportunity to surrender soon, they would be unable to escape.

Now, anyone with discerning eyes could see that Dashang”s downfall was only a matter of time. After all, working with dark creatures was a matter of principle. Not just in the East Barrens, but even in other places, they would be destroyed without hesitation.

A buzzing sound rang out. In Dashang’s depths, the supreme sacred weapon Fusu awakened, its vast and terrifying power penetrating from afar. Everyone present understood very clearly – Dashang’s foundation was being revealed at this moment!

After the sacred weapon, another giant white ruler appeared, shining with dazzling light that illuminated the heavens. It was so blinding that none dared look directly at it. The power overflowing from it made every heart skip a beat.

“That is… a great saint!” Someone looked upon the divine light and cried out. Dashang’s ancestor had been a Great Saint Realm powerhouse! If nothing unexpected happened, this weapon must have been left by that ancestor.

“Shouldn’t there be any Great Saint Realm powerhouses left alive in Dashang?” someone murmured.

The power emanating from this great saint weapon was too powerful, making it hard not to suspect its owner still lived!

The next second, a shriveled hand reached out from a palace in Dashang’s depths. Its owner was an old man with sparse hair and an extremely hunched figure, his Qi and blood extremely weak. Yet the power he emitted could not be underestimated.

Obviously, he was a Great Saint Realm powerhouse!

The moment this old man appeared, he grabbed the giant ruler and swept it down from the sky, as if turning the world upside down. Countless people felt doomsday had arrived.

“There really is a Great Saint Realm powerhouse!”

“This looks so familiar, he seems to be Dashang’s founder!”

“Impossible!11

“So many years have passed. Even a great emperor should have completely dissipated, how can a great saint still be alive?”

Countless people paled in shock. Dashang had concealed too deeply. Many knew they had a profound foundation, but none expected it would be to this extent – an ancient great saint still living in this age?

“Haha…. Ever since I established Dashang, never has anyone dared to deal us such a heavy blow as today! Today! You will all pay the price!”
