Qin An no longer thought twice and then carefully sensed the terrifying killing intent within the Celestial Cloud Pool.

This feeling brought him a unique sense of novelty.

Despite the terrifying killing intent making Qin An extremely uncomfortable all over, and his divine soul in his mind swaying like a small boat on the sea, Qin An was able to stabilize himself amidst the evil Qi.

The killing intent repeatedly flushed through his body’s Void Essence, and under this wash, the Void Essence gradually became more condensed.

Qin An could deeply feel that at this moment, he was getting closer and closer to the supreme potential.

What is supreme potential?

It is to stand at the pinnacle of the world with incomparably pure Void Essence, where, when the Void Essence shines, no one of the same level can rival.

At this moment, Qin An had already reached the final juncture of the supreme potential.

By the edge of the Celestial Cloud Pool, the elder and Liu Rong stood on the shore, their faces filled with astonishment as they watched Qin An crazily absorbing the killing intent.

Liu Rong trembled and said, "Clan Leader, how many years has it been since anyone stepped into the supreme potential in the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land?"

The elder came back to his senses and then revealed a wry smile: "Not just in the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land, but even in the entire Daqian Kingdom, how many can step into the supreme potential?"

"They used various methods to enter the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land from other cities, but they could not proceed further. Either they couldn’t find the Celestial Cloud Pool, were blocked by us outside, or secretly soaked in the Celestial Cloud Pool and were countered by the killing intent, ultimately ending up as puppets."

Liu Rong sighed: "Even we never possessed the potential to forge supreme potential, yet he could do it. It’s truly amazing."

The elder said, "You must know that he is the Savior, naturally much stronger than us. This is not surprising at all."

"Let’s just watch. See if any other problems arise midway. If there are no other issues, I would like to have a few words with him when he wakes up."

The elder said no more, and the beads of sweat on his forehead proved his current nervousness.

If Qin An couldn’t avert the danger, he might have become the sinner of the entire Defender’s camp.

But now, he does not need to become a sinner.

The two said no more, continuing to observe Qin An’s situation.

At this moment, Qin An had reached the most critical juncture. The vast majority of the Void Essence had been refined by the killing intent into the purest form. Just a little more was needed, and he could step into the state of supreme potential.

Qin An took a deep breath, completely opening his mind, allowing the killing intent to wash through him.

After about half an incense stick’s time, Qin An suddenly opened his eyes.

"Finally succeeded."

At this moment, the killing intent around him was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye,

and the Void Essence was pure to a level unimaginable to ordinary people.

If the previous Void Essence was a stream accommodating many fish, the current Void Essence was an endless ocean, yet no fish existed within it.

A golden light flashed around Qin An, and he thought to himself: "The supreme potential is finally accomplished!"

He was about to get up, but at the moment of rising, he felt something unusual.

"Something’s wrong, this killing intent seems to still encircle me. If it cannot be expelled, it will be a huge influence on me."

He could feel that there was still killing intent swirling in his mind.

Though possessing the power of a divine soul from two lives, capable of resisting the invasion of killing intent, there was still part of the killing intent that couldn’t be expelled.

"How should I expel it?" Qin An thought to himself.

Just as he thought this, a sound of footsteps came.

Qin An turned his head to see an old man in white robes stepping slowly, stopping at the edge of the shore.

The old man bowed and saluted: "Zhou Wuming greets the Savior! To resist the killing intent of the Celestial Cloud Pool and achieve supreme potential here is truly an unprecedented feat in countless years of the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land, something that truly earns this old man’s admiration!"

Qin An immediately realized the identity of the elder and replied with cupped fists: "Senior Zhou, you overpraise me, it was all just a coincidence."

The elder shook his head: "Sir, shouldn’t you come out now? Since you have achieved supreme potential, why not walk out from inside?"

"I see many demon pseudo-gods and human cultivators outside the Celestial Cloud Pool, they might be here for you. Should I handle those outsiders for you, sir? With me here, I will ensure you have no issues!"

Qin An was silent for a moment and said: "There is still residual killing intent in my mind that cannot be expelled, relying only on the power of the Celestial Cloud Pool. If I come out now, this killing intent will embed itself in my divine soul. Although it wouldn’t drive me mad, it would greatly hinder my future cultivation."

Zhou Wuming suddenly realized: "So that’s it, then you should wait here while I figure out how to remove this residual killing intent."

"I have a way to expel the killing intent." Qin An said.

He knew who the old man named Zhou Wuming before him was, and also understood why the other was so respectful due to the identity of the Savior.

But Qin An didn’t use his identity to pressure others, instead speaking to Zhou Wuming in a calm tone as if discussing ordinary matters.

As soon as Qin An finished speaking, Zhou Wuming said.

"If Mr. Qin has a solution, could you share it with this old man? This old man could also share your worries."

"Besides, after all, in terms of understanding of the Celestial Cloud Pool, I dare say I’m the first, and no one dares say they’re second."

He said this because, in his view, there should be no room for error for a Savior.
