Chapter 029: The Power of a Saint

Wang Bo was well aware of the strength of the Saints.

A Gold Saint of the Seventh Sense could already use the Light Speed Fist.

And Wang Bo knew full well the power of the Light Speed Fist.

A single punch could cause the Eurasian continental plate to suffer an earthquake of magnitude twelve or higher.

The shockwave from a Light Speed Fist could raise waves four hundred meters high on the sea surface, and even crossing the Atlantic, it could submerge half of America.

The dust kicked up by that Light Speed Fist could shroud the entire sky of the Earth, plunging it into a dark night lasting a hundred years, accompanied by an endless winter.

To put it bluntly, if a Gold Saint of the Seventh Sense wanted to exterminate humanity, a single punch would be enough to kill every human on Earth.

If they wanted to destroy the Earth, it wouldn't be difficult either—just a few more punches, and the Earth would be finished.

In the world of the Saints, they often used the Light Speed Fist without destroying the Earth, not because its power was weak, but because the Earth was protected by the barrier of the gods.

Thus, the power of the Light Speed Fist was suppressed.

On the other hand, the Gold Saints themselves deliberately restrained the power of the Light Speed Fist.

Cosmo, being unscientific, simply couldn't be explained by science. Suppressing the power of the Light Speed Fist by oneself wasn't anything outlandish.

For example, Wang Bo's solar true qi had undergone several transformations and had become extremely powerful. If he threw a punch without restraint, destroying a forest wouldn't be difficult.

However, Wang Bo could concentrate the solar true qi that could destroy a forest into a single point, release it, and pierce a tree without harming a single leaf on it.

That was control.

The Saints had long mastered the manipulation of Cosmo to perfection; achieving this was no trouble at all. They could freely adjust the power of the Light Speed Fist, or unleash all its force on an opponent without causing any damage to the ground.

Don't say it's unscientific—Cosmo itself is not a product of science.

So in Wang Bo's view, once a Seventh Sense Saint left Earth, if they wished, shattering stars was truly not difficult.

Such combat power, when viewed across the myriad realms, was considered top-tier.

And this world had no barrier of the gods to protect it; the power of Cosmo could be fully displayed. So in Wang Bo's opinion, Milo had the strength to challenge Anubis.

Even defeating Anubis was not impossible.

But now the Scorpion King told Wang Bo that Milo's challenge had failed. What was going on?

Was Anubis already powerful enough to withstand attacks that could shatter stars, or was there some twist?

Wang Bo couldn't help asking, "Can you tell me the details of Milo's challenge against Anubis?"

The Scorpion King shook his head and said, "I don't know much about that battle, because at that time I had no qualifications to be involved in it."

"But that battle shook the entire underworld; countless souls trembled. The roars of Master Milo and Lord Anubis lasted for about half an hour before that earth-shattering battle came to an end."

Hearing this, Wang Bo suddenly understood something.

First, when Milo challenged Anubis, she was already dead.

She was a departed soul, and Anubis was the god of death, naturally countering her, so Milo faced overwhelming disadvantage in this battle.

Secondly, the place where Milo challenged Anubis was the Underworld.

The Underworld was Anubis's territory, the realm of the dead. In this world, Anubis's power would definitely be amplified, and he could even draw on the power of the Underworld, while Milo's power would be suppressed.

Moreover, Milo had lost his physical body, relying solely on his soul to drive his Cosmo against the enemy, his strength far from his peak.

A living Saint and a dead Saint were worlds apart in strength.

Even some Saints who had not yet mastered the Sixth Sense would lose their Cosmo after death.

No wonder Milo had failed in his challenge and was defeated by Anubis in just half an hour.

So that's how it was.

After deducing the truth, Wang Bo let out a breath and said to the Scorpion King, "Since you've told the truth, I can give you a chance."

"What?" The Scorpion King was taken aback.

Wang Bo continued, "As long as you don't conquer the world, I can turn a blind eye to your resurrection and let you off."

It wasn't easy for the Scorpion King to be resurrected once. If he could quietly enjoy this world instead of stirring up trouble, Wang Bo would pretend not to see him.

"That's impossible." The Scorpion King heard this and refused without hesitation. "I've been waiting for this opportunity in the Underworld, just so I could one day take this world into my own hands."

"Even if it plunges the world into chaos and causes untold suffering?" Wang Bo asked displeased.

The Scorpion King said coldly, "What does that have to do with me? I only want to conquer the world. Anyone who dares stand in my way must die."

Wang Bo couldn't help but sigh. "In that case, I'll send you back."

The next second, he suddenly appeared before the Scorpion King, ignited his Cosmo, and in an instant unleashed hundreds of punches.

Sonic Punch!

But the Scorpion King snorted, and an invisible wall suddenly rose before him, completely blocking Wang Bo's fists.

Wang Bo suddenly realized it was telekinesis.

Once the Cosmo entered the Sixth Sense, various superpowers would awaken: manipulating elements, foreseeing the future, telekinesis, flight, illusion, mind-reading, mental control, intuition... and so on.

The Scorpion King's Cosmo had reached the Sixth Sense, so having telekinesis was nothing special.

His telekinesis was extremely powerful, and with it alone, he blocked Wang Bo's Sonic Punch.

"Your Cosmo hasn't even mastered the Sixth Sense, and you want to fight me?" The Scorpion King sneered, well aware of the gap between the Fifth and Sixth Senses.

Moreover, the opponent didn't even have a Gold Cloth, yet wanted to defeat him.

He must be living in a dream.

Wang Bo sighed, threw a punch, and the telekinetic wall shattered. His fist drove straight in, landing a blow on the Scorpion King's face.

Wang Bo didn't hold back with this punch; a million tons of force erupted directly. But even so, the Scorpion King wasn't blown apart; the Gold Cloth and the power of his Cosmo simultaneously weakened Wang Bo's strength.

The Scorpion King was merely sent flying, splitting the vast jungle in two and landing in the desert outside. Anubis's army surged in, surrounding the Scorpion King protectively.
