Chapter 848: Stepping into the Saint Realm
After returning from the Tai Ling Ancient Clan, Xiao Ze immediately secluded himself in a treasure land to absorb the feedback from the Tai Ling Sacred Body.
The integration of the Tai Ling Origin into the Primordial Tree caused a significant transformation in the chaos within his Primordial Space, making the chaotic light denser and more vibrant.
Since absorbing the Endless Light Origin, Xiao Ze's speed in refining the branches of the Primordial Tree had surged, and now, with the addition of the Tai Ling Origin, this progress accelerated further.
Once the Primordial Tree fully absorbed the Tai Ling Origin, Xiao Ze felt a resonance in his cultivation. Without leaving seclusion, he consumed a specially prepared divine pill, an essential aid for breaking into the Saint Realm.
The Challenge of the Saint Realm
The Saint Realm marked the pinnacle of the Great Thousand World, representing unmatched power. Under the might of a Saint, even Celestial Heaven Sovereigns would find themselves immobilized, helpless before such overwhelming dominance.
The gap between the Celestial and Saint levels was vast, as demonstrated in the struggles of figures like the Xuan Vein and Mo Vein Lords of the Buddha Ancient Clan. Despite their immense talent and resources, they remained unable to break through the Saint barrier for years.
Xiao Ze now faced this monumental challenge.
A Relentless Push
Surrounded by shimmering spiritual arrays, Xiao Ze sat at the center of a massive flow of Supreme Spirit Liquid, so concentrated that it had crystallized.
His body, like a bottomless abyss, absorbed trillions of drops of the liquid within moments. The divine pill he consumed continuously released its immense medicinal power, sustaining his efforts to breach the barrier.
Time seemed to stand still. Outside the seclusion chamber, Mandala, dressed in her usual black gown, rubbed her temples in mild exasperation.
"Even with billions of Supreme Spirit Liquid replenished daily, Xiao Ze's absorption rate is beyond comprehension," she muttered.
She recalled how, just before entering seclusion, Xiao Ze had requested another hundred billion drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid, leaving her to scramble to replenish their reserves.
"Still, if he truly steps into the Saint Realm, it'll all be worth it," she conceded with a sigh.
Mandala resolved to host more auctions to accumulate additional reserves, ensuring that Xiao Ze's next breakthrough wouldn't leave them strained.
Progress Across the Realm
While Xiao Ze focused on his breakthrough, Mandala received a transmission from Xun'er regarding Medusa, who was on the verge of breaking into the Earth Sovereign realm.
Traveling to Xiao Ze's Soul Ocean, a small world teeming with spiritual energy, Mandala witnessed Medusa preparing for her breakthrough.
Draped in an elegant crimson gown with golden patterns, Medusa's figure exuded regal authority. Her long hair flowed like liquid obsidian, adorned with an ornate phoenix hairpin imbued with spiritual energy.
As she faced the tribulation clouds gathering above, Medusa's lips curved into a confident smile, her eyes glinting with anticipation.
Summoning a nine colored serpent shadow, she easily absorbed the first wave of tribulation lightning. When subsequent strikes intensified, she called upon her sacred artifact, successfully overcoming the tribulation and ascending to the Earth Sovereign realm.
A Climactic Breakthrough
While Medusa triumphed over her tribulation, Xiao Ze reached the critical moment in his seclusion.
His Primordial Tree's final branch, after enduring countless cycles of refinement, had nearly completed its transformation. A flood of chaotic light surged through the branch, driving Xiao Ze's cultivation to a crescendo.
Boom!
A thunderous resonance erupted within Xiao Ze's body, shaking the golden ocean surrounding him. The turbulent waves stilled as an overwhelming aura expanded outward.
Slowly opening his eyes, Xiao Ze let out a deep breath. With a faint gesture, the vast river of Supreme Spirit Liquid surrounding him surged into his body, disappearing without a trace.
"At last... I've stepped into the Saint Realm," he murmured, his tone tinged with satisfaction.
Rising to his feet, he swept away the spiritual arrays with a wave of his sleeve. A subtle shift in his presence unleashed a staggering wave of Saintly pressure, freezing the golden ocean completely.
Every droplet of the once turbulent ocean, each as heavy as a mountain, halted mid flow, as if time itself had stopped. The entire ocean appeared as a solid, golden expanse beneath Xiao Ze's will.
"Saint level might..." Xiao Ze mused, nodding in approval at the sheer dominance he now wielded.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed as he sensed a transmission from the Sword Domain.
