“Young man, I was not eager to commence a slaughter. You’re a person with talent, the only variable in my scheme. Why don’t you step down, let me take you as my closed-door disciple, and you can freely roam the world after that. What do you say?”

The Heavenly Saint Taoist extended an olive branch. He truly valued Logan. Though Logan’s power was only at the transcendent realm, his intelligence and cunning were admirable, especially his mastery of the heaven-defying array, which was truly impressive.

Being already a Saint, even if he were to live for another ten thousand years, he might not be able to reach a higher realm or might perish. His selection of ten thousand people was not only a part of his layout but also to genuinely choose a suitable closed-door disciple. Logan was his only choice since he wanted Logan to inherit his mantle and carry on his work.

Logan shook his head and said with self-mockery, “Oh well, you’re high above, and I dare not associate myself with you. After all, who knows when you’ll scheme against me? All in all, not a single word from you can be trusted.”

“I am sincere about finding someone to inherit my cultivation and techniques, to prevent them from being lost. You can think it over. However, at this moment, step aside and let me kill the Beast King, we can discuss everything afterward.”

The Heavenly Saint Taoist’s brow furrowed and he felt surprised at Logan’s rejection. He initially thought that upon his proposal to take him as a disciple, Logan would be overjoyed and bow to him three times, but the outcome was quite contrary to his expectations.

“No can do, I’ve formed an alliance with the monster at a half-step Saint’s Seat. I don’t want to break our contract. It’s better if you save your energy. There are many supreme treasures in the vast world. It’s not necessary to fixate on the Beast King. How about if I give you a piece of Law Spirit Grass?”

Logan’s eyes were bright, and he was prepared to face the enemy. This fight at this moment was not about life and death, but for a promise. Moreover, he understood there would be no good ending if he allied with the Heavenly Saint Taoist. Once the Taoist got everything he wanted he would surely kill Logan to eradicate any potential threats.

This time, the Heavenly Saint Taoist was utterly angry. As he held Logan in high regard, he engaged in so much conversation with him after they had arrived at the underground magma. Had he known the outcome would be like this, he should have killed Logan as soon as he arrived.

As for the Law Spirit Grass that Logan mentioned, it indeed made his eyes gleam. This spirit grass could prolong his life, but it’s unfortunate that he’s already drawing his last breath. The spirit grass could only extend his life a few more decades. To him, it was like trying to quench a cart load of hay with a cup of water. Only by obtaining the treasure of a demonic beast could he solve all his problems from the root.

“You’re originally close to death, sclerotic from old age, your strength had already decreased by half. A hundred years ago, you were injured from the battle against the Beast King, and your strength has only decayed, with only one-tenth remaining. Overall, even though you originally had the strength of a saint, you’re now only equivalent to a half-step Saint’s Seat after such decline. You’re not a real saint anymore.”

Logan was nonchalant and continued to say, ” Furthermore, you diverted an avatar to deal with the monster at the half-step Saint’s Seat. I’d say you divided more than half of your power. After all, if you only divided half, it would not be enough to counter a half-step Saint’s Seat. Does my assumption seem right?”

“Good point. However, even in such conditions, I’m currently equivalent to a Dominator, making it impossible for a mere transcendent like you to handle me, What a shame. I truly admire your intelligence, but regretfully, we can’t pursue the same path together, as you refuse to submit to me.”

The Heavenly Saint Taoist was slightly flustered. Logan was incredibly intelligent. In their conversation, Logan was able to analyze everything perfectly, without missing a detail. Indeed, his current strength was quite weak since he had diverted seventy percent of his power to his avatar, leaving him equivalent to an ordinary Dominator.

Nevertheless, he quickly calmed down. He should not be intimidated by Logan, especially when Logan was merely a transcendent. After all, he was a dignified saint who had seen a lot in these many years. Time was of the essence. If he dragged it on, the Beast King’s injury would heal.

The Heavenly Saint Taoist’s killing intent erupted. The next moment, a Dharma device emerged. It was his saint’s seat royal soldier. Forged over a thousand years, it contained enormous power akin to another saint. As the saying goes, when a holy soldier is wielded, thousands kneel in worship.

Just as he was about to manipulate its power, the holy soldier suddenly dimmed, which made the Heavenly Saint Taoist utterly confused. What was going on? The weapon was indeed his own holy soldier. How come he, the owner, couldn’t move it now? Regardless of how much spiritual power he poured in or how many methods he used, there was still no response.

Logan was also momentarily stunned, but soon also figured out why: “It’s useless. You’ve split part of your consciousness above, leaving your current strength equivalent to the dominating realm. Naturally, you can’t activate a Saint’s Seat Royal Soldier. Even if you force it, the backfire from the holy soldier may destroy you.”

“No matter, I can do the same even without a holy soldier.” The Heavenly Saint Taoist suddenly enlightened. He had never considered this problem, because he had been a saint for ten thousand years, this was a question for junior cultivators. Even if it was a bit embarrassing, once Logan was killed, nobody would know about it.

As the aura of the holy seat emerged, the surrounding space twisted. Numerous forces of law instantly converged, abruptly elevating his aura by several levels. It was similar to being confronted by a formidable enemy for Logan, who was yet just at the transcendent tier. It was seriously doubtful whether he had the confidence to oppose a Dominator.

Previously using tactics, he succeeded in killing the Grand Elder, but that was not his personal doing. The several fully-realized kings from the First Family clan had taken action together. Now, with him all alone, his odds of winning were only thirty percent. His only option was his divine weapon, which could increase his strength a hundredfold.

The great war was about to start. Once the first move was made, Logan was forced to retreat a hundred feet. The power of the Heavenly Saint Taoist was indeed terrifying. Even after repeated weakening, he was unmoved, like a mountain. Seeing this dominant presence, ordinary folk would likely lose all their courage.

Logan was well aware that his purpose was not to defeat the Heavenly Saint Taoist. It was only to stall enough time. They have already used up more than half an hour, he just needs to stick around for half an incense stick. However, holding on until then wasn’t as easy as it sounds. The two probably still needed to exchange about thirty more bouts.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Shangguan Bo said to Ba Ke Yun on the side: “Shall we…not watch the battle of the Saints? I always feel something is not right. Why don’t we go back to the underground magma and check on Logan’s situation? If there’s a sneak attack, and we’re caught unaware, wouldn’t that harm Logan?”

“I think so too, let’s just leave the others, let’s just go back. It’s not that we’re afraid of anything but just in case, it’s better to be cautious. After all, with the half-step Saint’s Seat demonic beast here, we’re probably merely spectators.” frёewebηovel.cѳm

Ba Ke Yun nodded his head. As the two prepared to leave, they suddenly found that the half-step Saint’s Seat demon has fallen to a disadvantage, being suppressed by the Heavenly Saint Taoist and absolutely unable to retaliate. This meant they could not leave.

To turn the tide, the two could only rush in to help the half-step Saint’s Seat demon to deal with the Heavenly Saint Taoist. The millions of demonic beasts around them, due to their low strength, were not qualified to join the battle.

As expected, the Saint-level battle was more terrifying than they expected. The moment they rushed in, they were forced back a hundred meters. Under the influence of the massive residual energy, both men suffered injuries of varying degrees.
