Chapter 211: Inspiration, Holy Power Finally Achieved

In the face of Ghost King Youye’s madness, even as he interfered with the Daybreak Phoenix Ruins, forcing Ghost King Fulong and Ghost King Wudao into a Super Ghost King transformation to gain the strength to battle him, Zhang Yang remained unshaken.

He scoffed, “Long Face, I’m not bragging, but just those two from the Ghostly Divine Platform? Don’t even mention the Super Ghost King transformation— even if they had the Super Invincible Transformation, it wouldn’t help. They are worthless, not even worth fighting. If you can, send someone stronger. I guarantee they will never return.”

Ghost King Youye coldly replied, “You are dead for sure!”

Then, his presence completely vanished.

No matter how much Zhang Yang shouted and provoked him, there was no response.

“He’s gone,” Shui Lianyi said. “To be able to intervene in the Daybreak Phoenix Ruins from outside, even if it’s due to the heavenly tribulations making the ruins imperfect, shows just how extraordinary he is. And let me tell you, the so-called Super Ghost King transformation is far from ordinary. It allows Ghost King Fulong and Ghost King Wudao to increase their power tenfold, even dozens of times. The cost, however, is immense. Even if they manage to win and kill you, it would mean their doom.”

Zhang Yang blinked and said, “Long Face is truly ruthless, even to his own people. How wicked.”

His remark made Shui Lianyi laugh; his way of thinking was quite unique.

“Aren’t you afraid of those two?” she asked.

Zhang Yang countered, “Why should I be afraid?”

Shui Lianyi replied, “Your boldness is something I have rarely seen in my life.”

Zhang Yang scratched his head and said, “I’m just speaking the truth.”

“No!” Shui Lianyi’s deep, ocean-like eyes locked onto him. “Since my appearance, you have shown no trace of fear.”

Zhang Yang didn’t answer. He was indeed fearless.

Once the thought of the immortal had taken root in his bones, he felt no awe of saints or even immortals.

Being fearless was his true nature.

Shui Lianyi asked, “Tell me, in your eyes, what is a saint?”

Zhang Yang answered without hesitation, “A saint is definitely human, but…”

He suddenly paused, his expression shifting from astonishment to immense joy.

Just as he said, "A saint is human," the last barrier to his Quasi-Holy Power shattered in an instant—he had gained insight.

He chuckled. Back in Mo City, he had once mentioned that immortals were merely humans who had cultivated, yet he had never truly grasped this fundamental point.

Saints are humans.

Immortals are also humans.

Everyone is human, so of course, they should be fearless.

He smiled, certain that his Quasi-Holy Power would soon evolve into complete Holy Power.

A closed-door retreat was all that stood between him and success.

Interestingly, Shui Lianyi was also taken aback by his words. It was as if she, too, had gained insight. She murmured, “A saint is human? A saint is human? Yes, I am a saint, and I am still human. I have never left the realm of being human. Since I am human, then what about immortals?”

She extended this realization further, and her deep, ocean-like eyes sparkled with brilliance.

She gently smiled and said, “Little one, I will remember you.”

With that, she vanished without a trace.

Zhang Yang, still immersed in the joy of his realization, unconsciously sat down on the ground, entering a state of meditation.

He aimed to fully master complete Holy Power.

He looked forward to the moment when Holy Power would emerge, believing he would truly dominate all around him.

Yuluan had already guessed that he had grasped the final challenge of understanding Holy Power and happily stood guard to protect him.

Meanwhile, the Daybreak Phoenix Ruins erupted with excitement.

The Great Path Sacred Fruit tree had emerged!

It bore the Great Path Sacred Fruit!

One Great Path Sacred Fruit could allow a Great Boundless Perfect Stage being to break through and become a saint!

This revelation was like thunder roaring across a clear sky, shaking everyone and igniting their fervor.

It meant that every force, whether Saint-level or not, faced an unprecedented opportunity.

The entire Southern Region was destined to descend into madness.

And that was exactly what happened.

As the news spread, the people of Fengyu Town went wild, and soon the entire Southern Region was in a frenzy. The news traveled at an incredible speed, reaching the Eastern Domain, Western Desert, Central Continent, and even the farthest Northern Plains.

Moreover, it was announced that the Daybreak Phoenix Ruins would permanently close in thirty days.

This meant that many holy treasures and opportunities within the ruins could be lost forever. If they did not act now, they would miss their chance.

Two reasons drove countless people to madness.

Once again, the crowd surged into the ruins.

At the same time, a voice echoed across the Southern Region.

“The Daybreak Phoenix Ruins belong to the Southern Region; those from outside have no right to compete.”

This claim was immediately met with countless responses.

As a result, many Saint-level forces from the Southern Region began taking action, blocking various locations and forbidding outsiders from entering.

Conflicts were inevitable.

One Great Path Sacred Fruit meant one saint. The possibility of altering the balance of power in the Southern Region meant there was more than one Great Path Sacred Fruit. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

Even the top saint, Zhan Tianque, from the Taichu Sacred Land, felt his heart waver.

However, the Ghostly Divine Platform maintained a domineering stance, fiercely intervening to prevent any external forces from entering.

Except for those who had already arrived in the Southern Region, no newcomers were allowed.

In response, many Saint-level forces in the Southern Region began deploying their most important resources.

For instance, the Son of Ziyang Sacred Land, Yun Tiange, finally made his appearance, leading a large group of elites from Ziyang Sacred Land into the Daybreak Phoenix Ruins.

Additionally, the royal family of the Great Xia Empire forcefully demanded that the Phoenix Woman, who was in closed-door meditation, emerge. The value of the Great Path Sacred Fruit far exceeded the significance of her current retreat.

There were many similar instances.

Thus, the Daybreak Phoenix Ruins officially entered extraordinary times.

Incidents of bloodshed began to escalate.

Yuluan had initially planned to contact the Four Great Phantoms, requesting them to establish communication with the Vast Forest and arrange reinforcements for battle. Unexpectedly, the reply she received was that the Demon Slayer Team had gone mad, mobilizing even greater forces for a full-scale assault on the Vast Forest. Furthermore, Lang Xiaotian, who had just returned, had brought along a hundred Wolf King Guard Squad members to join the fight.

Ultimately, the Vast Forest was still at a significant disadvantage.

Saints were rare, Great Boundless beings were scarce, and Small Boundless beings were even fewer in number. Overall, their population remained limited.

They had only managed to survive until now by relying on a highly elite force.

In contrast, their enemies relied on sheer numbers, leaving them with no viable way to respond.

Thus, they had no choice but to rely on themselves.

Two days later, Yuluan became confident in their ability to compete for the Great Path Sacred Fruit.

The reason was simple— the power Zhang Yang released contained traces of Holy Might, which was rapidly developing into true Holy Might. This was undeniable proof that his holy power martial arts techniques were on the verge of success.

Holy power martial arts techniques and Saints’ laws were distinct from the Holy Might possessed by flesh-and-blood saints. His current Holy Might was merely a reflection of his surface strength. Even so, it was already terrifying and highly effective in battle.

Of course, Zhang Yang needed to solidify his Holy Might.

Unlike Yaoruoxian’s Saints’ laws— which, even with the backing of heaven, lacked Holy Might— his power demonstrated the vast difference between elemental energy and the Nine Extremes True Essence.

As Holy Might emerged, golden light rapidly enveloped Zhang Yang.

He appeared like a Diamond Sacred Dragon lying in wait.

Suddenly, Zhang Yang opened his eyes.

“Did it succeed?” Yuluan asked eagerly.

Zhang Yang smiled and nodded.

His Quasi-Holy Power had finally shed the “Quasi” label.

Now, it was truly… Diamond Dragon Holy Power!
