Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1229 – Saint Battle

Chapter 1229 – Saint Battle

…
In terms of absolute strength, the Scholartree Saint and the Spring Master stood at the peak of all True Saints in the vast brightness world.
The Dragon Saint was tyrannical, but his strength was slightly weaker. If it weren’t for this, then he wouldn’t have been beaten up by the Spring Master in the past. Of course, he was the one who put forth the request to have Peachy marry into the East Sea as his daughter-in-law. Yet, his request had been brutally rejected.
But no matter what was said, the Dragon Saint was weaker to begin with. Moreover, his main body wasn’t here. Even if his avatar blended together with the aura of the Great Dao, he still wasn’t a match for the Scholartree Saint.
Above the East Sea, the great dragon was pitifully beaten by the ancient scholartree. It roared repeatedly but couldn’t do anything else.
His main body just left him speechless. It was one thing to run far away, but the key issue was that he had fallen asleep and still hadn’t woken up!
The Scholartree Saint’s voice was chilling to the bone. “Dragon Saint, if you don’t back away, don’t blame me for being ruthless and destroying your Great Dao aura body!”
“Scholartree Saint…how brave of you!”
A wind rose between the heavens and earth, instantly blowing across the East Sea. The Dragon Saint’s avatar which had been pushed into a distressed state suddenly relaxed.
He immediately clenched his teeth and screamed inwardly, “Look at the reaction rate of others and then look at yourself! It just isn’t right!”
It was impossible to be an avatar these days!
A face appeared on the heaven-supporting ancient scholartree once again. The eyes opened, looking up at the skies and briefly furrowing its eyebrows before composing itself.
Bang –
The skies collapsed and countless peach branches descended. In the blink of an eye, a towering peach tree appeared in the endless East Sea.
Two True Saints stood in sharp contention, their auras entangling together and causing the world to change colors.
Raging waves rolled across the East Sea, stirring up water vapor that rose into the skies and condensed into clouds. The world began to darken as a torrential rainstorm poured down!
Each drop of rain contained the aura of a True Saint. As a result, they were as heavy as boulders as they crashed into the sea with thunderous aplomb.
The Scholartree Saint calmly said, “Lian Yi was connected to my Great Dao, and your ninth disciple killed him, damaging my Great Dao. It is a crime deserving death.”
The Spring Master’s words came from the peach tree, “Your son died so now you want my son-in-law to be buried with him?”
The Dragon Saint had retreated to the side and stood on the sea, watching the two tigers fight. As he heard this, his complexion immediately changed. This peach-selling fellow was simply a bastard, how could he rob him of his lines? This was bad, he had to hurry up and awaken his main body, otherwise the East Sea would lose the son-in-law he selected!
Thinking about it carefully, his proposition of having Peachy becoming his East Sea’s daughter-in-law had been refuted by the Spring Master. Now, he wanted to keep Qin Yu as the East Sea’s son-in-law, but he was blocked by the Spring Master again…the Dragon Saint was left breathless. He really wanted to roar out loud. How can you be so arrogant to me in my East Sea!?
Of course, Peachy and Qin Yu both belonged to the peach garden to begin with, but this matter was selectively forgotten by our Lord Dragon Saint.
The Scholartree Saint’s voice was even calmer, “Does it have to be like this?”
The Spring Master sneered, “Why put on some pretentious play between you and me? Since we each have more than enough reason, bring it on!”
Bang –
The peach branches in the skies instantly erupted, twining together. In the blink of an eye, a giant stood in the skies. It clenched its fists and punched.
A True Saint crossed the Sea of Bitterness, reaching the Great Dao on the other side. Every action and every movement they made contained the might of the Great Dao. Both sides recklessly fought with these giant bodies, and each collision caused the entire East Sea to shake. In an instant, countless sea creatures were crushed into nothingness!
The Dragon Saint’s avatar stomped his feet and shouted, “If you two want to fight then go out and fight! If you ruin my East Sea, I will never let either of you go!”
The Scholartree Saint looked at him and said, “I may not harm the East Sea, but the Dragon Saint must not interfere in today’s affairs again, otherwise you will be an enemy of my Western Mountain.”
Bang –
A fist punched open the skies. The Scholartree Saint stepped forward, “Let’s fight in the aether!”
…
The splendid and opulent Dragon Palace’s grand hall was now deathly quiet. Everyone couldn’t help but stare with wide eyes. Before the East Sea longevity feast began, no one imagined that things would develop to this point just because of a small prize.
First, there was Lian Yi breaking into the Sea of Bitterness and becoming a Half-Saint. Then, he had been killed by Qin Yu. After that, two True Saints had arrived one after another, then they broke through the skies and started fighting in the aether.
A Saint battle!
This was a genuine battle involving two True Saints!
Although there didn’t seem to be much turbulence, the truth was that what happened today would cause shockwaves to spread out in a massive range, even having a profound impact on the stability of the entire vast brightness world.
Rulers were detached from the world and rarely interfered in the affairs of those below them. As a result, True Saints could be considered the peak power level of the vast brightness.
Only Rulers existed above peak Saint existences. These peak Saints would not fight each other easily.
But once they did, there had to be a victor and a loser. The victor’s Great Dao would further condense, and the loser’s cultivation would be damaged.
The Scholartree Saint and Spring Master stepped into the aether to fight. The relationship between the two Holy Lands had completely deteriorated!
Peachy grabbed onto Qin Yu. Her figure flickered and she arrived in front of Dragini, “Bring us to the Dragon Palace’s transmission array.”
Dragini hurriedly nodded, even as she tried to avoid glancing at Qin Yu. Who would have thought that this fellow would change so suddenly and become a Saint Slayer. Dragini was well aware of the historical records. As long as he didn’t die, he would inevitably explode in the future.
Seeing how the Spring Master didn’t hesitate to clash with the Scholartree Saint today, it was easy to tell how much he valued Qin Yu.
In particular…the Spring Master had personally recognized Qin Yu’s status. With that, the chances of the peach garden protecting him were much higher.
Sorrow was inevitable, but Dragini knew that in the competition for Peachy, she had been kicked out of the game. What’s more, finding someone as outstanding as Qin Yu was good for Peachy.
She had this idea to comfort herself, so…don’t say anything, just hurry up and try to find a way to improve the relationship between both sides! And now, an opportunity had appeared. Borrowing the Dragon Palace’s transmission array to help save her life would be a graciousness that Peachy would definitely remember.
But before Dragini could leave, the cultivators that followed Lian Yi here suddenly encircled them.
The hall flew into an uproar!
Dragini clenched her teeth and said, “How insolent! This is the East Sea, not a place where you can do as you please! To dare disrespect me, are you courting death?”
The Sly Fate Clan cultivator cupped his hands together, “I am simply following orders. I ask Miss Dragini to step back.”
Dragini coldly sneered, “And if I don’t?”
As her voice fell, strength gushed out from the void, directly imprisoning her. Without giving her a chance to struggle or react, space warped and she vanished.
The Dragon Saint’s deep voice rang out, “The East Sea shall no longer interfere in today’s matters.”
There was nothing he could do!
He was just an avatar. During ordinary times, he could frighten juniors and stabilize the land, but facing the main bodies of the Spring Master and Scholartree Saint, it was just giving himself up for free.
The Western Mountain’s old scholartree might have a poor character and was extremely cunning in what he did, but there was one basic fact that everyone was aware of. He had never been someone to boast. If he said it, he could do it. And even if he couldn’t do it this time, he would figure out a way to make it up!
If the Dragon Saint’s avatar didn’t retreat and really dared to follow the Spring Master into battle, the shockwaves from that battle would be enough to overturn the entire East Sea several times over.
What’s more, who knew whether or not that ruthless old scholartree would secretly aim a few strikes at the bottom of the sea.
The consequences would be unimaginable. Although the East Sea wouldn’t be destroyed, over half of the Dragon Saint’s subordinates would likely die.
This karma was too strong and the expected consequences were too terrible. The Dragon Saint’s avatar could only retreat.
But he would remember this account and place it on the Western Mountain. Once his main body returned, he would go to the Western Mountain and slowly settle things!
The Sly Fate Clan cultivator cupped his hands together, “I thank the Lord Dragon Saint for your understanding!” He stood up and locked eyes with Qin Yu, “Kill him!”
Peachy lifted a hand and pointed. Space shook and numerous peach branches drilled out, peach blossoms blooming on all of them.
Ten Miles Peach Forest!
The reason Lian Yi could forcibly break free was because he was sufficiently strong. But these people were far, far weaker than Lian Yi. Peachy didn’t want to kill them, even as she knew that these cultivators, including the Sly Fate Clan cultivator, could not kill Qin Yu.
Within the hall, everyone had borne witness as Qin Yu slayed a Saint. As a result, no one doubted this.
So if they still attacked them, there was only one explanation. These people wanted to stop Qin Yu from leaving. Or to be more precise…to delay him as much as possible.
Lian Yi died, but the Western Mountain had more than one powerhouse.
So when Peachy made a move, she used the Ten Mile Peach Forest. She didn’t want to kill her enemies but to imprison them and leave the Dragon Palace. Since the Dragon Saint had said he would no longer interfere, there was no need to mention using the Dragon Palace’s transmission array anymore.
“Peachy, leave Qin Yu behind and I can guarantee your safety!” With a low and cold shout, space instantly cracked apart.
