Chapter 1027 Transformation into a Heavenly Pillar
"No matter who you are, I will remember this favor."

"Unfortunately, there's no time left, and I can't repay your kindness in kind!"

Lord Shen sighed inwardly. The Nine Tripods would not stop; from the moment he realized they were counterfeit.

The true Nine Cauldrons have always treated the Heavenly Sect, which aspires to sainthood, equally and crushed them all.

Those who cannot withstand the crushing force will have their souls scattered, while those who can withstand it and lift the Nine Cauldrons high can become Martial Saints.

There is never such a thing as letting go easily.

Therefore, Lord Shen breathed a sigh of relief and immediately concluded that the large cauldron was fake.

However, even if it was fake, the immense pressure he felt just now, the moment he was on the verge of death, allowed Lord Shen to break through the bottleneck that had plagued him for many years, and finally see the threshold of becoming a Martial Saint.

His sudden enlightenment surpassed even the sublimation of Yin Dao's burning life force, and the holy aura that arose within his body flowed endlessly like a source of water.

What is acting?

On stage, they are completely absorbed in their roles, unable to distinguish between reality and fiction, and they don't remove their makeup until the curtain falls.

With the help of a mysterious person, Lord Shen's plan to become a saint is becoming more and more real. Unless the Martial Saint points it out, no one can see the flaws.

"What a pity, time waits for no one. If it weren't for the Heavenly Maiden, who allowed me to cultivate diligently and break through, I would surely have become the Martial Saint of our time."

Lord Shen looked up at the celestial maiden before him. If he didn't eliminate the monster that could only be suppressed by the two Nine Cauldrons, was he supposed to let her slaughter the world while he remained heartless amidst the turmoil, becoming a cold-blooded and ruthless martial saint?

Lord Shen had no choice; he only had one path: to continue acting.

A realization dawned on me: the joys and sorrows on the stage always revolve around the character's personality; this is the truth that personality determines destiny.

Lord Shen clearly saw the dawn of a martial saint, but because he could not stand idly by and watch the heavenly maiden wreak havoc on the world after her birth, he still had to abandon his future and carry out his original plan of mutual destruction.

Pity!
"My first act of merit in becoming a Martial Saint today is killing the Heavenly Maiden!"

Lord Shen's voice was vast and supreme, like a decree descended from the heavens.

The wicked demon cried out in despair, "Celestial Maiden, run! You've only just been born and haven't recovered yet. Eat me quickly to escape. Once you're back to your peak, even a Martial Saint won't be able to do anything to you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou You spat out a curse. What a loyal dog! How did it end up being reincarnated as a human?

The celestial maiden remained expressionless, like an empty shell, showing no reaction to the changes in the outside world.

Lord Shen, wielding his Sky-Piercing Cudgel, charged towards her. She merely reacted instinctively, raising her hand to strike.

This time, it's extraordinary.

Lord Shen swept through the enemy with unstoppable force, shattering millions of six-pointed stars with a single blow, but countless white dots appeared out of thin air as they rushed towards him.

The goddess then summoned even more six-pointed flowers to engulf his body.

"Lord Shen has become a Martial Saint; he will not be defeated!"

really……

The next moment, Lord Shen cleaved the torrent of six-pointed flowers with his staff. He looked to the ends of the earth and threw the Sky-Supporting Staff out.

It felt as if an enemy was spying from beyond the horizon.

Then, with his hands empty, he stepped in a specific direction, chanting, "Starry Sky Mystery, Seven Steps to Heaven!"

Seven Steps to Heaven: The Mysterious Step!
It takes only seven steps to ascend to the heavens, and even billions of stars cannot make it lose its way.

This is a technique that Lord Shen used to elevate his movement skills to the level of a Martial Saint after comprehending the aura of the Saint Realm.

The most difficult journey in the world is to ascend to heaven. Once you have mastered the power to ascend to heaven, there will be no more obstacles in the world.

As expected, Lord Shen took seven steps forward, instantly crossing the all-pervasive six-pointed flower domain surrounding the celestial maiden, and suddenly opened his arms to embrace the aloof and indifferent celestial maiden.

In any other setting, an old man embracing a young woman would definitely be considered indecent. But this scene carries a distinctly unusual connotation.

Not long ago, Lord Shen's disciple Yuan Fazhu embraced the treacherous demon in the same manner, prompting the Great Gentleman to chop them both down with an axe.

This posture was clearly a secret technique passed down exclusively by Lord Shen, a move designed to ensure mutual destruction.

What is he doing?
Zhou You closed his eyes. Here it comes, the final crucial moment has arrived.

With a whooshing sound, the Sky-Supporting Staff, which had disappeared into the horizon, returned from another direction.

Although the Heavenly Maiden was bound by Lord Shen's arms, her expression and posture remained completely unchanged. She gently raised her hand and placed her slender, jade-like palm on the back of Lord Shen's aged hand.

In an instant, countless transparent blades emerged from Lord Shen's body, cutting his entire body into a hedgehog-like shape.

Lord Shen smiled slightly, "You are very capable. I won't lose out if I can outmaneuver you!"

The word "loss" had barely left his lips when the Sky-Piercing Staff pierced his back. With the added strength from the throbbing of his muscles and internal organs, it pierced through the Heavenly Maiden's body.

Now, the old man and the young girl were both impaled by the Sky-Piercing Staff.

"Hoohoo!"

Lord Shen raised his hand and drew the knife left behind by Yin Dao. He ran his finger along the blade, and the sharp edge cut through his skin. A trail of blood, like a serpent, was instantly absorbed by the blade and penetrated deep into the weapon's core.

The sword's essence was first infused with the spirit of a demigod, and now Lord Shen's blood, also from a demigod, has seeped deep into its blade.

This semi-sacred Yin Blade has finally been completed.

"Go, find Yin Dao's descendants, don't let him have any regrets!"

Lord Shen exerted his strength, and the Yin Blade pierced through the air and disappeared into the vast night sky.

He looked at the celestial maiden again; she had already slid forward a distance along the Sky-Supporting Staff and was about to break free. "It's not that easy!"

Lord Shen slapped his Heaven-Supporting Staff, "I've been called the Heaven-Supporting Giant Pillar for most of my life, and now it's time to pay the price!"

In an instant, Lord Shen's hair and fingertips turned gray, and his fleshy body transformed into stone.

The grayish-white aura spread throughout his body, and his vital energy was transferred and poured into the Sky-Supporting Staff.

In an instant, the giant pillar descended from the sky, blasting Lord Shen and the Heavenly Maiden deep into the earth, firmly suppressing them.

"I am useless; I can only suppress, not kill. If we want to eradicate evil completely, we need a rising star to advance to the Martial Saint realm in the future, and then come to the Southern Frontier to make up for this regret!"

"Gentlemen, all is well in the southern borderlands!"

The aged voice echoed all around, and after even the echo faded away, there was no trace of Lord Shen left.

The colossal pillar formed from the Sky-Supporting Staff stands at the boundary between the eastern and western parts of the Southern Frontier, suppressing the Heavenly Maiden beneath it.

Because of the previous three thousand lewd sacrifices, the two cauldrons were born, releasing the restriction that suppressed the Heavenly Maiden. Now, only Lord Shen can be sacrificed, merging with the weapon to transform into a giant pillar reaching the sky to suppress her.

Although they can be suppressed for a time, as the power of the Heavenly Maiden grows stronger day by day, she will eventually break free.

Before Lord Shen disappeared, he left behind the words that he was certain the world would change and a martial saint would be born to deal with the Heavenly Maiden.

After a long silence, a hoarse voice rang out, "They perished together, they really perished together! Lord Shen is gone!"

"He actually sacrificed himself to suppress the Heavenly Maiden. Did he actually reach the Martial Saint realm?"

If it were a martial saint, it shouldn't have been so tragic as to result in mutual destruction.

Upon hearing this, countless martial artists glared angrily at the doubter, shouting, "Are you blind? This isn't a Martial Saint?"

"Lord Shen, the undisputed martial saint of our time."
