Chapter 938: Chapter 937 [Poison Saint Also Has a Big Heart]

The feeling Ye Tianchen had at this moment was one of hair-raising, soul-trembling, and complete rigidity. He never imagined that on the Divine Throne, a vague figure would appear again, with an aura that could oppress the Heavenly Vault and intimidate the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Even with an indomitable heart of a king, vowing never to admit defeat, he couldn’t help but feel his legs weakening, almost kneeling to the ground.

”No, I, Ye Tianchen, do not revere the heavens nor respect the earth, my destiny is controlled by myself, no one can make me yield or kneel!” Ye Tianchen thought firmly in his heart, desperately urging his Martial Arts True Power, unleashing unimaginable potential, only then did he stop his knees from involuntarily wanting to kneel.

At this moment, in the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, the Divine had already knelt piously onto the ground, prostrating in reverence. One can only infer who can make such a powerful and terrifying Divine kneel, and the ”Half Emperor” from his mouth already had Ye Tianchen sweating profusely. Could it be that the figure appearing on the Divine Throne at this moment is not a fake after all, but truly the Poison Saint? Someone who had successfully stepped one foot into the Emperor Realm, a peerless figure, a living Half Emperor, an unimaginable and supremely revered person in the Martial Arts World known as an Emperor. Whether the supreme of the Ancient Alien Race, the Heavenly King of the Demon Clan, or the Great Emperor of the Human Clan, they are all respected by all beings under Heaven as ”Emperor”. The word ”Emperor” alone can crush Wan Gu’s Qing Tian, intimidate the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, ancient and modern. From the Ancient era to the bygone era to the present, countless cultivators and countless strong individuals have turned into ashes in this span of time. Of the billions of cultivators, they aspire all their lives to step into the Emperor Realm. Those who come into contact with the title of ”Emperor” are peerless existences. Merely affiliating with the ”Emperor” term indicates an unparalleled existence, something incomparable. Over billions of years, innumerable strong individuals and prodigies have yearned to be associated with this word ”Emperor,” yet, so few have succeeded, demonstrating extraordinary difficulty!

”Divine, you are the spiritual sense born from the Fiery Flame Banner I refined, but you should not impersonate me. When I was alive, the Poison Saint was neither so domineering nor overbearing. I am not such a person. How could my posthumous fame be destroyed?” The vague figure atop the Divine Throne spoke.

”Master, I didn’t intend to impersonate you. When you passed away, I longed to follow you. Now that I can see you again, can you take me with you?” The Divine cried out, unable to control its emotions.

The Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner was a treasure refined by the Poison Saint, accompanying him in battles throughout his life, dominating the universe. During the last Emperor Struggle, it witnessed the glorious feats of this peerless figure. Even though he was ultimately defeated, the mysterious and powerful young man was like a heaven-defying demon, possessing an unimaginable level of strength that left people trembling. However, the strength and achievements of the Poison Saint are undeniable. That young man, although he defeated the Poison Saint, did not go so far as to eliminate him entirely, which also illustrates the remarkable nature of the Poison Saint.

Therefore, the Divine within the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner holds profound admiration, respect, and emotion for the Poison Saint. When the Poison Saint fell in the Emperor Struggle War, the Divine was desolate, almost destroyed by the Chaos Qi of ”Holy Heaven Prison.” Ultimately, the Poison Saint, with Great Divine Power, repaired it, essentially saving its life. When the Poison Saint passed away, the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner trembled endlessly, the Divine wailing as the world-shattering aura shook the Heavenly Vault. Just like that, an era of the Poison King dwindled to nothing. After hundreds of thousands of years, seeing the Poison Saint’s figure reappear on the Divine Throne, how could the Divine not be overwhelmed, not desire to go with the Poison Saint?

”To go with me, I have already passed away in this Martial Arts World. What exists here is merely a trace of my will left from back then, serving as observation for the descendants of the sect I founded.” The figure on the Divine Throne said calmly.

”Half Emperor, I wish to follow you always, to fight alongside you as we traverse the Heavenly Vault and dominate the universe, to once again face that heaven-defying demon-like young man, I am unwilling!” The Divine cried out passionately.

The figure atop the Divine Throne glanced calmly at the Divine, shaking his head, he said: ”There is nothing to be unwilling about. I know you want to say that during the battle with that young man, you were newly born in the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner and couldn’t fight of your own volition. And now, you have developed some Divine Skills, wanting to war again. But let me be honest, in that battle of the past, I lost. I was utterly persuaded that the young man was truly a demon-like existence. In the moment of my defeat, he hadn’t even unleashed his full power yet...”

”What? Master, I don’t believe it. Don’t say that; don’t belittle yourself like that, okay? Even if that young man is incredibly powerful, reaching that level, at that extent, he must’ve exerted all his power!” The Divine shook its head in disbelief.

The Divine couldn’t believe it, found it absolutely difficult to accept this fact. Having fought alongside the Poison Saint across the universe, it could be said they were invincible in the world. Had it not been for the appearance of such a heaven-defying demon-like young man in the end, perhaps the Poison Saint would have already become a peerless Great Emperor, and it would have become an awe-inspiring Emperor’s Artifact. Just a single step short, yet even though the Poison Saint was defeated, he lost by merely one move. How could he have lost so much more? It’s important to understand that through countless endeavors and battles, the Poison Saint reached the ”Half Emperor” realm. No matter how powerful that young man was, how he defied the heavens, it’s impossible for him to battle against a peerless Half Emperor at the final moments, without ever exerting his full power. If that young man was indeed such an existence, had he already become an Emperor? How could that be possible?

Absolutely unable to believe, absolutely making the Divine unable to accept the words of the Poison Saint. The battle of that year, it’s truly memorable, truly unforgettable, fought until the heavens crumbled and the earth split, fought until the Martial Arts World trembled, fought until a vast Star Domain was destroyed, like an apocalyptic scene, how could it be possible that the young man hadn’t used his full strength? Was he human or god or demon?

”In the battle of that year, I lost, lost utterly convinced. There was no fight to the death between him and me, just a simple few moves of confrontation, but later I didn’t attack again. It’s not that I lack an invincible mindset, or lack the resolution to face death without regret, but due to the huge disparity and the righteousness of this young man, I halted my hand. If the battle continued, I would still be defeated, the result would be the same. The strength gap was too great, otherwise, I would risk it all in battle!” Poison Saint spoke.

”Master, you...” The Divine was speechless, its master was defeated on the Emperor’s contest path, naturally, its heart was in great pain. Decades of thousands of years later, the remnant will left by the Poison Saint appeared, and surprisingly informed it that in that battle, the Poison Saint was defeated and utterly convinced, while that heaven-defying demon-like young man hadn’t used his full strength, truly shocking!

”Alright, I, the Poison Saint, am not a strong-willed person, the inheritance left behind has long passed, many people and things have changed, the sect’s precept I left behind was forgotten by them. So let fate decide!” Poison Saint said looking at the stars in the sky.

”Master, do you mean...you will no longer intervene in the discontinuance of the inheritance?” The Divine couldn’t help but ask.

”Even the strongest inheritance faces discontinuance one day, even the strongest martial artist will turn to dust. The continuation of an inheritance does not rely on how powerful the founder of the inheritance is, but on its successor. There are no true immortals in the world, where comes the talk of permanence?” After speaking, Poison Saint vanished from the Divine Throne. This perhaps is the last bit of will he left in heaven and earth. From this moment, Poison Saint will thoroughly disappear and no longer exist.

”Half Emperor...” The Divine knelt on the ground, continuously bowing, expressing its feelings and admiration for Poison Saint!

The silhouette on the Divine Throne of the Poison Saint vanished, from beginning to end the Poison Saint did not look at Ye Tianchen even once, as if all of this was unrelated to him. Poison Saint was also someone with great magnanimity, unwilling to interfere in many things relying on his strength. Even the inheritance he left behind was left to develop on its own, for he understood that if the successor does not strive, he couldn’t possibly protect him for life, nor could he always maintain the inheritance’s immortality.

After the silhouette on the Divine Throne disappeared, Ye Tianchen felt a complete sense of relaxation in his whole body, and he couldn’t help but gasp for breath repeatedly. That oppressive power was truly too immense, if it lasted just a little longer, he couldn’t help but kneel down as well. This frightened Ye Tianchen, the supreme figures of the Emperor Realm were indeed beings to look up to, capable of becoming unmatched Emperors. Their every word and action were things that made the heavens and earth tremble, destroying a vast Star Domain with a simple gesture was nothing but a trivial matter. Just thinking about it was terrifying beyond measure, not daring to venture forth!

This time, the Divine stood up from the ground, looking at the Divine Throne in a very respectful manner. After a while, it turned around and said to Ye Tianchen, ”You have the Holy Heaven Prison in your hand, I can’t do anything to you, but you also can’t kill me nor escape. So we are evenly matched. I will now release you. I will no longer have anyone wield the Fiery Flame Banner. I will no longer interfere with the survival of the Five Poison Sect!”

”Regarding the affairs of the Five Poison Sect, there’s no turning back for me, I must destroy it, sorry!” Ye Tianchen said to the Divine.

”Those matters have nothing to do with me anymore. Poison Saint has completely dissolved into heaven and earth, and left a final advice to me, which has brought me enlightenment. I must leave and await a strong new master, to pass on Poison Saint’s Absolute Skill, ensuring that Poison Saint’s inheritance does not discontinue!” The Divine looked earnestly at Ye Tianchen and said.
