Chapter 1345: Becoming Devil Saint

Devil cultivation required devilish energy for a breakthrough. How would one find devilish energy in the Saintforce Realm? In truth, regardless of whether it was devilish energy or spiritual energy, both had the same essence. Devilish energy was merely a type of variant astral energy. The devilish energy cultivated by the Imperial Nether Clan was the dark devilish energy. Thus, dark energy with enough purity could replace devilish energy in an imperial nether devil's cultivation.

Xiang Shaoyun already had a clump of dark origin energy gathered in his astral cosmos sea. As his devil cultivation stirred, the dark origin energy within his astral cosmos sea started converging at the devil pearl within his head.

With the dark origin energy, Xiang Shaoyun successfully became a Devil Saint. The nine-colored cocoon around Xiang Shaoyun instantly transformed into a cocoon of devilish energy, giving off an entirely different sensation than before. If any other person saw this scene, they would conclude that Xiang Shaoyun was a devil and immediately attack.

Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun didn't even have the time to think. His sole focus was on breaking through. As his devil pearl gathered more and more energy, the devil rune on his forehead became visible, giving him a fiendish appearance.

Finally, his devilish energy reached a breaking point and pushed him into the Devil Saint Realm. His Imperial Nether Domain started transforming. Its size expanded while clumps of devilish energy exclusive to the Imperial Nether Clan appeared within. The energy clumps were incredibly beneficial for Gui Qi, allowing him to greatly increase his strength.

As Xiang Shaoyun's Imperial Nether Domain had fused with his soul foundation, the domain's transformation also further strengthened his soul foundation. It was as though each layer of his soul foundation was suffused with devilish energy, looking much more solid than before. The soul marks on the soul foundation also looked much more abstruse than before and allowed the soul foundation to display a much higher strength than anyone with the same cultivation level.

With Xiang Shaoyun's breakthrough, powerful devilish energy rippled in all directions. Fortunately, the entire Saintforce Realm was filled with even thicker astral energy. Even the effects of Xiang Shaoyun's breakthrough were akin to a drop in the ocean.

After all, if every single breakthrough would create a massive commotion that could disturb other cultivators, what was the point of opening up the Saintforce Realm for so many cultivators? It was basically taboo to disturb others during a cultivation session.

After completing the breakthrough, Xiang Shaoyun regained his clarity of mind. He could sense that someone was approaching him. Without any hesitation, he turned invisible. When the person arrived and saw that nobody was there, they left.

Nobody could afford to waste any time in the Saintforce Realm. Without any specific reason, everyone would silently cultivate in seclusion. Any conflict could wait until a year later when their time in the Saintforce Realm was up.

Xiang Shaoyun heaved a breath of relief when he saw the person leaving. Inwardly, he sighed, If my identity is exposed, the entire world will not tolerate my existence.

Since ancient times, humans and devils had been enemies. Xiang Shaoyun didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if his identity was revealed. If that day came, he hoped that it would only come after he regained his strength from his previous life. Only then would he have the strength to continue surviving.

He retracted all his devilish energy, including his devil rune. When he scanned his body, he found that his life force had reached a brand new height. It was as though all his blood had been changed. His new blood was boundlessly powerful, pulsing with incredible life force. His internal organs also seemed to have been completely renewed.

His blood flow had also reached an incredible speed, as though every inch within his body contained endless strength. Even without using his devilish energy or astral energy, he could easily unleash great destruction with only physical strength.

This was the kind of strength a true Devil Saint's body possessed. Even saint-grade weapons would no longer be able to harm him easily. Only pure saint-grade powers could pose a threat to him.

"Is this the feeling of being a Saint? There really is quite a lot of strength behind this body," muttered Xiang Shaoyun in astonishment.

He had a feeling that he was strong enough to pluck the stars and the moon from the sky with a single wave of his hand. This was a sensation he had never felt while he was in the Sovereign Realm.

Granted, in his past two lifetimes, he had experienced such strength as well. However, those were all in the past. Now that he had regained the strength of a Saint, he was still incomparably joyful.

However, he still quickly calmed himself down. He had a feeling his Saint body was still incomplete because his astral energy cultivation had yet to reach the Saint Realm. Only when his astral energy cultivation reached the Saint Realm would he be a true Saint. He wondered just how strong his physical strength would be at that time.

At that thought, Xiang Shaoyun decided to pick a suitable spot and continue cultivating. Cultivating in the Saintforce Realm would allow one to advance at a speed much faster than cultivating in the outside world. If he maximized his time here, his gains would be equivalent to 10 years worth of cultivating outside. He had to make good use of his time.

Everyone was cultivating hard in the Saintforce Realm, with some peak Sovereigns having reached the Heaven Battling Realm already. As for those who had yet to reach the peak Sovereign Realm, they were also growing rapidly.

After completing his breakthrough, Xiang Shaoyun picked a new spot to cultivate. He wasted no time and started absorbing nine astral energies at a rapid speed.

Since he had comprehended nine profundities, he could easily absorb all nine energies. As he circulated the astral energies within his body, endless energy channeled into his body. In his current environment, even if he hadn't comprehended nine profundities, he would still be able to absorb nine energies at the same time. Anywhere else, he would have to absorb one energy at a time, greatly limiting his growth. But that wasn't applicable in the Saintforce Realm.

As Xiang Shaoyun absorbed the energies around him, his astral cosmos sea also obtained a large amount of replenishment, allowing it to form even more primal inception energy. With a cultivation level of sixth-stage Sovereign Realm, he could already fight pseudo-Saints. If he utilized the primal inception energy, he could probably face even Saints. With how incredible the primal inception energy was, it probably contained some sort of wondrous might that even Xiang Shaoyun himself had yet to understand.
