Chapter 1078: Chapter 1104: Sky Flipping Mirror! Sword Shatters Mountains and Rivers! (Second Release) Chapter 1078: Chapter 1104: Sky Flipping Mirror! Sword Shatters Mountains and Rivers! (Second Release) Everyone knew that the Body Refining Method was so rare not because it was difficult to create.

The decline of the Body Cultivation Path was due to the fact that Bodily Ascension to Saint was almost something that existed only in legends.

It wasn’t that there were no legends, but they were too distant from the current era, so people gradually abandoned them.

The world of cultivation was slightly better, with many sects of the Body Cultivation Path flourishing, but those who came from the Great Desolation era looked down on practitioners of the Body Cultivation Path.

Below the Saint Realm, practitioners of the Body Cultivation Path were somewhat stronger than other types, but those who tempered their bodies could not ascend to saint!

Just this point alone had obliterated the Body Cultivation Path.

Once they entered the Saint Realm, the practitioners of the Body Cultivation Path only had their turn to be beaten.

More ludicrously, practitioners of the Body Cultivation Path were better at being beaten than others.

This was why practitioners of the Body Cultivation Path were looked down upon.

Yang Zhen practiced both the Body Cultivation Path and method cultivation, and this was not a secret. Anyone who knew a bit about the Great Desolation era despised it.

But now?

In front of everyone’s eyes, especially within the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus known to destroy all beings, Yang Zhen had forcefully broken through the shackles of the Body Cultivation Path and achieved Bodily Ascension to Saint.

A practitioner who ascended to Saint through the Body Refining Method, facing a saint, which was stronger?

No, not which was stronger, but by how much?

Moreover, Yang Zhen was already able to defeat practitioners of the Saint Realm when he was in the Celestial Phase, Ninth Heavenly Layer. Now that he had achieved Bodily Ascension to Saint, wasn’t he even more powerful?

Thinking of this, everyone present gasped, staring at Yang Zhen with agitated faces.

Boom!

The Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus in mid-air violently shook the heavens, as countless bolts of thunder fell from the sky, striking Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen laughed heartily, suddenly soared into the air, and charged toward Elder Jian.

“Elder Jian, Elder Jian, your sword is cheap enough, come on, let’s compare moves again… oh crap, why are you running, this Sao Saint won’t eat you!”

Elder Jian ran?

Could he not run?

With the terrifying Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus behind Yang Zhen, it could destroy all living beings, yet it could not destroy the bastard Yang Zhen. If he didn’t run now, although Yang Zhen wouldn’t eat people, the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus would.

Seeing Elder Jian being chased by Yang Zhen all over the sky made everyone’s jaws nearly drop to the ground.

In mid-air, a terrifying surge turned the world upside down, under the heavy black clouds, lightning flickered.

This deadly thunder did not claim the life of Yang Zhen but almost claimed the life of Elder Jian.

On Diao Wutian’s face was an absurd expression, and suddenly, he conjured a disk in his hand engraved with countless formations, resembling mountains and seas, blocking out the sun and presenting itself in mid-air.

“Boy, you are courting death!”

“The Sky Flipping Mirror, it’s actually the Sky Flipping Mirror, I didn’t expect Elder Diao to bring out the Sky Flipping Mirror.

“The Sky Flipping Mirror is a Heaven and Earth Treasure, although not comparable to the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, it is still a precious and mighty treasure. Elder Diao only uses it against fellow Great Saint level foes, yet he intends to use it against Yang Zhen?”

“What a joke, would Elder Diao use the Sky Flipping Mirror against Yang Zhen, a mere young lad? It’s clearly meant to contend with the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus.”

The many disciples of the Shaking Light Holy Land were united in their indignation, their faces filled with rage.

But as enraged as they were, who would dare to approach at this time?

As soon as the Sky Flipping Mirror appeared, the mountains inverted, and amid the terrifying surge, mountains upon mountains continuously hammered towards Yang Zhen.

If this hit him, even if Yang Zhen had achieved Bodily Ascension to Saint, he would still be crushed into pieces.

However, just then, a patch of golden light suddenly appeared on Yang Zhen. Amid the terrifying surge, waves of Saint Realm power furiously approached, and in his hand, the Great Missing Sword grew with the wind, in a blink of an eye turning into a colossal sword aura that could destroy heaven and earth.

“Sacred Realm power, this is Sacred Realm power, impossible, how could Yang Zhen… That’s right, Yang Zhen has completed his Bodily Ascension to Saint, he should be able to wield the power of the Sacred Realm now.”

“No, merely attaining Bodily Ascension to Saint equates to but a single punch of sacred power, but the sword in Yang Zhen’s hand has already transcended the range of Bodily Ascension to Saint!”

The Pure Spring Saintess’s master exclaimed in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief, as she muttered to herself while watching Yang Zhen, “If this child continues to grow, he might become the nightmare of all the Great Saints!”

Upon hearing this, the Pure Spring Saintess shuddered.

Initially, she thought that breaking through to the Sacred Realm at such a young age, though not comparable to the Shaking Light Saint, already made her one of the few prodigies in the Central Court.

However, facing Yang Zhen now, the Pure Spring Saintess suddenly realized that there are always stronger people out there; perhaps some have been concealing their unbelievable strength.

Seeing mountains crumbling down upon him, Yang Zhen did not retreat but advanced instead, his sword carving through the air, his terrifying power of the Sacred Realm turned the sky upside down, and the sounds of world-shattering booms rang out as those mountains were utterly destroyed by him.

After shattering the mountains, Yang Zhen burst out laughing, his laugh unrestrained and flamboyant, as he swung his sword toward Elder Diao.

Boom–!

The earth trembled, and under the impact of such forces, both individuals were sent flying backward.

While it was understandable for Yang Zhen to be thrown back, the sight of Elder Diao staggering back as well shocked everyone.

Elder Jian, beside himself with rage, gazed at the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus in mid-air and roared with all his might, “You reckless fool, do you really intend to irreparably fall out with Shaking Light Holy Land?”

Hearing Elder Jian’s intense and fearful words, everyone felt bewildered.

Irreparably fall out?

Hadn’t they already done so?

Indeed, Yang Zhen bellowed with laughter and said, “Damn it, I’ve already torn apart the face of Shaking Light Holy Land. Do you think if I leave now, you’ll pretend nothing happened?”

“How could that be? After you’ve insulted us like this, Shaking Light Holy Land won’t allow you to continue being arrogant,” Elder Diao coldly snorted and said.

“Then… let’s just do it, shall we?”

Yang Zhen snorted coldly, and the blazing fire around him suddenly became a dazzling golden light; behind him, the Qiongqi Heavenly Void suddenly appeared, its golden light wild, enveloping the sky.

Seeing this, Elder Diao and Elder Jian nearly fell from the clouds.

“Sacred Realm!”

“How is this possible?”

Their faces painted with absurd disbelief, it was one thing to accept his Bodily Ascension to Saint… we forced ourselves… no, coerced ourselves to accept it.

But for you, a Practitioner at the Celestial Phase of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, to skip Half-step Great Saint and achieve sainthood directly, this… to whom do we even complain?

No one expected that Yang Zhen had truly fused all the power within him, and that fusion was nearly flawless.

“It is Sacred Realm power, he has Sacred Realm power within him too, how is this even possible?”

The Third Elder’s face was covered in disbelief. When had Sacred Realm power become so commonplace?

Yang Zhen indeed possessed the Sacred Realm power, specifically that of Saintess Tianxuan, which he had now refined and merged within him, making all the powers within him amalgamate into a new Sacred Realm power.

This was the real reason Yang Zhen dared to ascend the Qianyuan Ridge alone.

The Saint… Yang Zhen!

Roar!

A heaven-shaking roar emanated from behind Yang Zhen across the entire Qianyuan Ridge.

The Qiongqi Heavenly Void, as if alive, roared skywards, almost as if to challenge the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus.

Yang Zhen, alone with his sword, leaped up, his figure like a world-ending beam of golden light, charging towards the three Great Saints.

“You old fools, take this Sao Saint’s sword!”

If I don’t beat you till you’re shitting bricks today, you might think my woman can be messed with just by any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
