Chapter 1080: I Want to Become a Saint!

The commotion outside was so loud that everyone thought Zhang Xuan had been discovered by Tianye King and a battle had broken out.

But instead, two monsters came running over, neither of them looking human—what was going on?

Wasn't this Saint Sealing Pavilion supposed to have no one else but them?

"This... isn't a thing, it's... Teacher Zhang!" President Han seemed to have discovered something, swallowing his saliva. "Look at the clothes, exactly the same as Teacher Zhang's just now, only... it looks like he was struck by lightning!"

"Indeed, it is Teacher Zhang, but... who is that pancake-face in front?" Teacher Wu also recognized him, couldn't help nodding, but was somewhat puzzled.

That pancake-face in front was also wearing the same clothes as Teacher Zhang, with the exact same build and figure. But with a face flattened like that, anyone else would have died long ago—how could he still be running?

And running so fast? Even Teacher Zhang could barely catch up...

"I'll kill you all..."

Just as they were wondering, they saw a tall primordial spirit flying over from around the corner behind the two, attacking as it chased. The ground shook violently, and huge palm prints were stamped one after another.

"Tianye King? He... has left his body. Damn it, save them!"

Seeing this, the crowd no longer cared who the two were; they all drew their weapons in unison.

Clatter!

"Rise!"

With Teacher Wu's shout, everyone's weapons immediately combined into a glorious rain of swords, stabbing toward Tianye King.

"Dare to stop me? You all will die..."

Roaring again, Tianye King's primordial spirit in the air reached out with a hand, blocked the sword rain in front of him, and slapped down.

Stagger, stagger, stagger, stagger!

Teacher Wu and the others were forced back seven or eight steps, their blood churning, faces turning pale.

Before, when the other hadn't left his body, they were no match. Now, enraged and reduced to just his primordial spirit, his power was even stronger—how could they withstand it?

Still, though they were no match, this attack slowed Tianye King's speed, allowing Zhang Xuan and his clone to reach the crowd.

"Quick, enter the formation..."

Knowing that if they tried to hold their ground here, they might all be killed, Zhang Xuan shouted and continued charging forward.

The others also understood the situation and followed closely, entering the formation outside the residence.

Once inside, Zhang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the pancake-face not far away, so angry his eyebrows twitched.

If he could beat him, he would have taught him a lesson long ago.

As a clone, instead of saving the original, he ran faster than the original—how shameless!

"You go back to the hive first; I'll settle accounts with you later..."

Knowing this was not the time to discuss it, he waved his hand, and with a thought, he absorbed the clone into the hive.

Hum!

Just as he finished, he heard a soft chime. Vice Dean Ji Yan had already activated the formation, and a beam of light enveloped the surroundings.

This formation was set up by the survivors specifically to block Tianye King's sneak attacks and assaults. They were already very familiar with it and could activate it instantly.

"Damn it, damn it..."

Blocked by the formation, Tianye King let out a furious roar. Then everyone felt the formation tremble violently as狂暴 power struck relentlessly, as if it could shatter at any moment.

"At this rate, the formation won't last long..."

After several consecutive attacks, Ji Yan, who was presiding over the formation, turned pale, cold sweat pouring from his forehead.

Although Tianye King had attacked before, he had never been so recklessly desperate. If he had done this earlier, the formation would have been broken long ago!

"There are only a few of us here. Before finding a definite way out, Tianye King wouldn't kill us—otherwise, he'd be too lonely alone here. But now he's so反常... Teacher Zhang, what exactly did you do?"

Tan Qing shook his head and couldn't help looking at the young man nearby, whose face was covered in black soot.

What kind of monstrous deed had he done to make Tianye King leave his body, charge over recklessly, and want to eat his flesh?

"I... just blew up his physical body..." Zhang Xuan said awkwardly.

The mess left by the clone—that guy hid in the hive and it was over, but he had to clean up the situation. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt.

"Blew up his physical body?"

"You... killed him? Leaving only his primordial spirit?"

Everyone was stunned.

Just now they were thinking that just taking the Broken Continuation Grass wouldn't warrant leaving the body and fighting so desperately... They never dreamed that he had actually killed the other's physical body.

A cultivator at the Out-of-Body realm protects his physical body very well; it's his lifeline. To go out for a while and have it destroyed... Not to mention this alien race king, even if it were them, suffering such a loss, they would definitely go mad!

"I didn't notice either. I... accidentally hit him!"

Seeing the horrified expressions on everyone's faces, Zhang Xuan quickly explained.

If he could have restrained himself a bit, the clone wouldn't have been so reckless. This time, he had really caused a huge disaster.

"Accidentally..."

Everyone's faces flushed red with anger, all wanting to give this guy a good beating.

You, a Half-Saint, accidentally destroyed the physical body of a Saint Domain fifth-layer expert... That's already absurd enough, and you say it was accidental!

If you were a bit more careful, even Teacher Kong would probably be tortured to death by you.

"Let's not worry about that for now. Hurry and stabilize the formation, or we'll all die here..."

Taking a few deep breaths to relieve his frustration, President Han said with a grave expression.

He was the president of the Qingyuan Empire Formation Masters Association, with a deep understanding of formations. He knew that although this formation could temporarily block the enemy, it would be hard to sustain for long; everyone had to pitch in.

"Alright!"

Everyone knew this was not the time to dwell on it. Without further ado, they quickly took their positions behind him, following his orders.

"Teacher Wu, guard the Qian position; Teacher Luo, go to the Zhen position..."

President Han quickly instructed.

He had examined this formation as soon as he arrived and knew where the weak points were. Seeing that his arrangements were flawless, Zhang Xuan said nothing more and quickly went to his designated spot.

Boom!

Everyone channeled their true qi, and the formation indeed stabilized considerably, no longer shaking as before.

"Damn it..."

Sensing the change in the formation, Tianye King outside knew that even with all his strength, he couldn't break it in a short time. He roared again: "Since you're playing turtle, I'll smash that stone statue!"

Whoosh!

As the roar ended, everyone felt a release of pressure. The strain on the formation immediately disappeared, as if Tianye King had left.

"He's going after the dean. What do we do?"

Stepping out of the formation, they looked and indeed saw Tianye King had left. Ji Yan and the others were filled with anxiety.

When that guy said he was going to smash the stone statue, he naturally meant the old dean in front of the Saint Sealing Platform.

Now his soul was locked inside, unable to escape or come out. If it were smashed, he would be dead!

Although he was now just a living dead, he still had clear consciousness and could talk on his own. They couldn't just watch him be killed.

"What else can we do? Save him!" Teacher Wu gritted his teeth.

"But... we simply can't withstand Tianye King!"

Tan Qing quickly said.

Tianye King was too strong. Even with all of them联手, they couldn't hold him off. If they charged over, not only would they fail to save the dean, they might all be wiped out.

"Then what? Watch a comrade die before our eyes without doing anything... I can't do that! A master teacher never abandons a friend!"

Teacher Wu clenched his fists.

"We can't either... but what can we do?" Tan Qing shook his head. "The dean became like that to save me. If we fall into danger trying to save him, even if he survives, he will never forgive us!"

Having followed Dean Zhang Yin Qiu for many years, he knew his temperament and character.

He never married and devoted all his energy to the academy and the master teacher profession. If they rushed to save him and got hurt, even if they succeeded, the dean would surely be filled with self-blame and regret.

"Isn't there any good way?" Luo Ruoxi couldn't help asking.

"There is a way, as I said before... If someone could break through on the Saint Sealing Platform! If that happens, by borrowing the power of the platform, they would enter an invincible state for a short time... Although Tianye King is strong, he would certainly be no match!"

Ji Yan said.

"Invincible?" Zhang Xuan was startled.

"Yes. Over the past two years, we've been observing the stone tablet on the first floor. According to Teacher Kong's records, once successful, saintly qi will descend from heaven. At that moment, the Saint Sealing Platform will shine brightly, and the power within it will infuse the body, containing the majesty of heaven and earth. Even a Nine-Star Master Teacher couldn't withstand it!"

Ji Yan nodded.

Trapped here for two years, besides battling wits with Tianye King, they had also been studying how to escape. They knew the records of the Saint Sealing Platform in great detail.

They understood that there were only two ways to get out: first, obtain the inheritance of Qiuwu Ancient Saint; second, become a saint on the Saint Sealing Platform!

Now the first was hopeless. The Ancient Saint's consciousness had been shattered; even if they wanted the inheritance, it was impossible. That meant to leave and resolve the current danger, they had to rely on the second!

"That's a way, but it's like saying nothing... Become a saint? How easy is that!" Teacher Wu shook his head.

Before he finished speaking, they saw the young man not far away step forward, his eyes filled with determination: "In that case, you go and try to delay Tianye King, don't let him harm the old dean. I'll go to the Saint Sealing Platform, break through to the Saint Domain, and become a saint!"

Now that he had the Seven-Colored Earth Essence Liquid, he was just one step away from breaking through.

Once he broke through, with his accumulation and understanding of the Saint Sealing Decipher, he had a ninety percent chance of becoming a saint on the spot!

It seemed that this was the only way to save the soul left by the old dean and stop Tianye King.

"Becoming a saint... is harder than you think. It's not something you can just declare. You'd better drop this idea..."

Seeing this guy bring it up again, Ji Yan frowned. He had said it once before, and since they had just met, he hadn't wanted to scold him. But now he was at it again... Did he think becoming a saint was like buying cabbage, available at any market?

How overconfident!

He snorted, about to continue, when he felt the young man before him tremble, and a special aura surged out.

Boom!

This aura made his entire body emit a warm radiance, making him look like a deity.

"This is... this is... Heaven-Approved Master Teacher?"

Feeling this aura, Ji Yan's words caught in his throat. His pupils contracted, and his body went rigid.
