Eight Relics of the Great Saints

In the Great Death Realm, spanning a thousand years, three Great Saint Ruins were successively opened.

According to the records of the scribes of each realm, the first known Great Saint Ruin was the Ruins of Celestial Dragons in their impression.

The Ruins of Celestial Dragons had great momentum, but ended in a way that left all cultivators somewhat puzzled. They only knew that there was still a great terror in the Dead Sea Star River, but what that great terror was exactly, no cultivator knew. They could only speculate based on the legends of the Dead Sea Star River, thinking that the great terror that held the small cosmos that day should be the Ash Emperor in the Dead Sea Star River.

The origin of the Dead Sea Star River came from the Ash Emperor. It was said that when the Ash Emperor died, the galaxy collapsed and his vital essence spread everywhere, becoming the so-called Dead Sea.

The Ash Emperor's body became the foundation of the Dead Sea, his bloodline formed the galaxy, and the entire Dead Sea Star River was the corpse of the Ash Emperor after his death.

The terrifying giant who pinched the small saint cosmos that day was most likely the residual soul of the Ash Emperor. Although it was unclear why he made a move, he left an indelible psychological shadow on the cultivators, who all kept their distance from the Dead Sea Star River afterwards.

The second Great Saint Ruin to open afterwards was the Star Ruins, taken by the Lord of Thousand Stars of Twilight Realm, who joined the top of the Heaven Ranking, standing at the forefront of the proud geniuses of all realms.

It was worth mentioning that this was also the first time a proud genius from the myriad realms appeared in first place. In the past, the top three positions had always been vague, with the proud geniuses of each realm being more or less equal in strength, and none had fought to the end.

But with the Lord of Thousand Stars seizing the opportunity of the Star Saint Ruin, entering the initial stage of transcending mortality and attaining sainthood, he had clearly opened up some gap compared to the other proud geniuses.

Thanks to the rise of its Lord of Thousand Stars, Twilight Realm also took the first unrivaled step in the Great Death Realm, suppressing the other six realms.

Another thing that caught the attention of all realms was that there did not seem to be any outstanding proud genius from Great Heavens yet, as if they were all in hiding, and so far no one knew which cultivator was from Great Heavens.

But Great Heavens must have sent people, they were just in hiding, possibly waiting for a suitable Great Saint Ruin to open for them.

This was also something the various realms were wary of and secretly on guard against.

After the Star Saint Ruin came the Five Elements Saint Ruin. The battle in this realm was not as fierce, mainly consisting of the proud geniuses fighting each other.

Twilight Realm wanted to take advantage of its Lord of Thousand Stars' “Little Invincibility” to seize another Great Saint opportunity.

But with just your “Little Invincible” Lord of Thousand Stars not truly invincible, the other realms were naturally unwilling to resign themselves to this fate. The proud geniuses even joined forces in an unprecedented way to surround and kill the Lord of Thousand Stars.

This battle was a serious setback for Twilight Realm. The so-called "Little Invincible" Lord of Thousand Stars was heavily injured, with three hundred stars around his body shattered. If he had not fled in time when he realized the situation was unfavorable, he might have died in the Five Elements Saint Ruin.

And the one who obtained the Great Saint opportunity was a shocking dark horse. It was not obtained by a top proud genius, but by Water and Fire Immortal, ranked 53rd on the Heaven Ranking.

His best mastery was of water and fire, and his skills in metal, wood and earth were also considerable.

Although his abilities matched well with the Five Elements Saint Ruin, he should not have had the opportunity originally. The accident stemmed from the top proud geniuses being bent on pursuing and killing the Lord of Thousand Stars, wanting the Lord of Thousand Stars to be completely trapped in the ruins.

Water and Fire Immortal, a second-rate proud genius, took advantage of this opening. With strength that was not weak, he seized the opportunity amidst the competition of the cultivators, and also had some luck. Anyway, he obtained the Great Saint opportunity.

Fortunately, Water and Fire Immortal was originally only a second-rate proud genius. After obtaining the Great Saint opportunity, he only rose to become a top proud genius, and could not be considered a "Little Invincible" like the Lord of Thousand Stars.

After the end of the Five Elements Saint Ruin, exactly four hundred years passed without any new ruins appearing.

The scribes of each realm used their divine powers and calculating lifespan to deduce that eight Great Saint Ruins had opened four so far.

This was puzzling, because in their impression, only three ruins had opened.

One was the Ruins of Celestial Dragons, one was the Star Ruin, and the last was the Five Elements Ruin. So when did this additional Great Saint Ruin open without any news spreading out?

Puzzled, they began to calculate with all their might, even at the cost of consuming their own origin and lifespan, just to obtain a result.

The result was touching. The calculations showed that the first ruin had opened four hundred years ago, even earlier than the Ruins of Celestial Dragons.

Damn.

There was a thief!

The scribes of each realm were shocked and once again deduced information about the first Great Saint Ruin. They concluded it was the Primordial Thunder Ruins.

After that, they spent a great amount of lifespan deducing the cultivator who obtained this opportunity, with some scribes turning white-haired overnight, only to get one result.

A vague, carefree silhouette.

Other than that, there was no more information, and they could not make out the identity of this carefree figure at all.

Beyond that, there was no other way. They could only strive to seize the remaining four ruins and give the top proud geniuses of their realms a chance to take a step ahead on the path to sainthood.

Without news of the Great Saint Ruins, the cultivators of each realm also rarely calmed down to recuperate and conserve their strength, without any fighting.

In Twilight Realm, arrays glittered everywhere. Within one sat a figure in a golden robe, with hundreds of tiny spheres floating around him. Looking closely, one could see these spheres closely resembled stars.

Around the array were several elderly cultivators, using their own vital essence to nurture the figure in the golden robe, mending his injuries and reconstituting his shattered stars.

This scene continued for months. When the last star finally took shape around the figure in the golden robe, he slowly opened his eyes. Within them, two of the most dazzling stars constantly emanated stellar radiance.

“I will avenge this vengeance one day!” he uttered coldly.

The elders around the array stopped channeling vital essence, looking somewhat weary as they gazed at the figure in golden robes and advised:

“Thousand Stars, there’s no need to rush now. When your cultivation reaches another level, glimpsing the path to quasi-sainthood, our Twilight Realm will be truly invincible. By then, we can even help Purple Immortal obtain a Great Saint opportunity.”

Thousand Stars glanced at the elders and asked solemnly, "What about the price?"

The elders were startled, and quickly laughed, "Of course it can be negotiated. You know Purple Immortal is a direct descendant of Vast Ocean Galaxy, he is never short of money."

Thousand Stars crossed his arms, eyed the elders up and down, and spoke lowly again.

"Having money is one thing, how much you will give is another matter. Vast Ocean Galaxy is too big, I'm afraid it won't be the same once I return, so we have to make a vow first."

"Besides, last time in order to seize opportunities for Twilight Realm, I was surrounded and nearly slain by so many proud geniuses. Asking for more now can also be understandable, right?"

"Understandable, of course understandable!" The elder quickly smiled and added, "I will go discuss with Purple Immortal right away."

"Mm, go on then," Thousand Stars responded plainly, turning his eyes to gaze into the deep and dim galaxy. Disdain flashed in his starry eyes.

As a “Little Invincible” now, how could he be satisfied with just some spirit stones and treasures?

Only cultivation and combat power were what he sought. He wanted the opportunities of the other Great Saints!

With the opportunities of several Great Saints fused together, he would directly enter the quasi-saint realm in the Great Death Realm and attain true invincibility!

And when the Great Emperor Ruins opened afterwards, he would even have the qualification to seize the Great Emperor opportunity!
