âHeyâŚwhy in the world did you choose that look?â
Bai Yunfei asked, he was feeling a little speechless at how Xiao Qiâs appearance looked sixty to seventy percent just like himâŚÂ
It almost felt like he was looking at a seventeen or eighteen-year-old version of himself. If they didnât know better, then anyone wouldâve assumed the two were brothers.
âHehe, Iâm finally human!â Xiao Qi hopped around excitedly, âHaha!! Iâll be just like you! And why Iâm like this? Because I think youâre super handsome, Yunfei! So I took a leaf out of your book, howâs it look? Handsome right?â
ââŚâŚâ
His lip twitched, âYeah, amazing.â
Would he be insulting himself if he said no?
Xiao Qi was a Saint now but his personality and appearance was still that of a child. Of course, Bai Yunfei couldnât fault Xiao Qi for such a reasoning like that then. In reality, Bai Yunfei already considered him something like a precious younger brother anyways, his new appearance was simply just adding onto that bond.
It was still a little awkward, but time should help with that feeling more or less.
Another two seconds went by before Bai Yunfei was finally able to get over the awkwardness of looking at a similar face to his own before he brought out a space ring containing some clothes. âI donât care if you look like me, Xiao Qi, but I donât like seeing myself nakedâŚhurry up and put on some clothes.â
Xiao Qiâs humanization was great and all, but the fact that he was completely without any clothes made the sight very awkwardâŚÂ
The clothes Xiao Qi wore were a little big on him, but he didnât pay it too much mind. And now that the two were clothed and standing next to each other, the similarities were looking more and more noticeableâŚÂ
âŚâŚ
By now, the white light that used to super prominent in the area was now almost gone. Curious, Bai Yunfei turned an eye to his right.Â
Two auras, both of them Mid-stage Soul Emperors, came to a stop right beside him. It was Li Chengfeng and Jing Mingfeng. The two were done with their meditation and successfully went from being Early-stage Soul Emperors to Mid-stage Soul Emperors.
A smile appeared on Bai Yunfeiâs lips. He was truly happy to see his friends become stronger.
âThank you, Yunfei!!â Li Chengfeng smiled gratefully.
Not even Jing Mingfeng was able to prevent a smile to play out on his lips. âIâll spare you my gratitude, OlâBai, but thank you!â He roared with laughter before slapping him on the shoulder.
âNo need for any of that, weâre brothers after all!â
âBzzzâŚâ
A loud rumbling sound detonated somewhere in the dimension, causing everyone to snap their heads upward.
Now that there wasnât any white light to obscure the dimension, Bai Yunfei could finally see that the murky environment of the dimension was beginning to look unstable.
âItâs not calming down?â Jing Mingfeng muttered, âI thought it was because OlâBai was becoming a Saint that it was like thisâŚwhatâs the cause then? Do you know, OlâBai?â
But Bai Yunfei shook his head. âIâm not sure. It looks like the dimension is starting to break down, maybe itâs because the Supreme Saintâs Inheritance is no longer here? I donât think it should be that dangerous, we wonât have to worry about how to get out of here in any case if it breaks down.â
âBzzzâŚâ
Another rumble went through the dimension while Bai Yunfei was speaking. Narrowing his eyes, he took out the Cataclysmic Seal and had it erect a barrier big enough to protect everyone in it.
The Cataclysmic Seal, was of course much stronger now that Bai Yunfei was a Saint. The barrier it could provide was now a lot bigger and stronger.
âBe careful.â
Bai Yunfei warned the others as cracks began to appear all over the place.
âBoomâŚrumbleâŚâ
The next tremor that ran through the dimension was strong enough to distort everyoneâs vision for just a moment. Multiple parts of the dimension were now sporting huge cracks that continued to expand everywhere. The group was still safe due to the barrier even as large explosions slammed into it.
For seconds, the barrage of explosions continued and made it near impossible for everyone to see what was going on on the outside. And by the time it clearedâŚÂ
Bai Yunfei thought that they wouldâve been transported back to the Saintâs abode. Instead of that environment, Bai Yunfei could see the vast sky above him and the mountainous terrain below him. There was even a valley that was shaped just like a giant dragonâŚÂ
Not only did that dimension break, but the outer dimension with the Saintâs abode collapsed as well! They were back in the real world!
Perhaps it was one of the settings that the previous Supreme Saint implemented. Once the Supreme Saintâs Inheritance was gained, the entire dimension would break. Or perhaps the Supreme Saintâs Inheritance was what powered the entire dimension. Once that was gone, the dimension would no longer be able to support itself.
âBoom!!!â
A loud explosion suddenly detonated somewhere in the world before Bai Yunfei and the others could adjust to their new situation.
âAncestor Shen!!â
Bai Yunfeiâs eyes widened at once. That flare-up of energy definitely belonged to Shen Pojun! Whirling to his left, Bai Yunfei managed to see a giant ocean of fire suddenly explode into view.
The distance was a little far, but Bai Yunfei could sense four distinctive auras in close proximity to one anotherâfour Saints!
âNo wonder they never met up with us, they came across some enemies before!â
âYunfeiâŚâ Li Chengfeng muttered, concerned.
âYes, thatâs ancestor Shen and Frostfeather fighting! Theyâre fighting Shangguan Xiongyan and a class nine soulbeast! Letâs go help them!!â
âŚâŚ
On the other side. Four Saints were currently making battle.
Shen Pojun, the Frostfeather Saint, Shangguan Xiongyan, and the Abyssal Snake Saint had been fighting for several hours by now. Both sides were equally strong and so a victory had yet to be determined.Â
It would take another three days and nights before a conclusion could be met. Without interference, that is. But an interference was already on the way.
The crumbling of the Saintâs abode came as a surprise to all four of the Saints. They had been in the middle of fighting when it came down, leaving them shocked to suddenly be dumped back in the real world.
All four of them retreated to safety when it happened. A shock at this time could prove fatal so a reprieve was necessary.
âWhatâs going on? Why has the Saintâs abode crumbled?! Could it beâŚâ
All four Saintsâ mind began to race with the possible reasons for a bit before their attention was focused onto the eastern skies.
A powerful aura was rapidly approaching them! The aura of a Saint!!
The reactions were mixed. Shen Pojun and the Frostfeather Saint looked grim while Shangguan Xiongyan and the Abyssal Snake Saint both sneered. The only other Saint that could possibly be here would be Gu Jimie.
Then Shen Pojunâs eyes widened as his soulsense began to pick up on the aura signature. âHm!? This aura belongs toâŚYunfei!!â
âItâs not Gu Jimie!!â Simultaneously, Shangguan Xiongyan and the Abyssal Snake Saint both blanched.
âThatâs Yunfei! Heâs become a Saint!! The Supreme Saintâs InheritanceâŚheâs done it! Haha!! Well done!!â Shen Pojun began to laugh in relief.
âBai YunfeiâŚItâs Bai YunfeiâŚ?! Heâs become a Saint! ButâŚhow could that be!? Where has Gu Jimie gone?!â Shangguan Xiongyanâs face had gone stark white. Every part of his face looked ready to scream out his frustration at this turn of events.
âDamn!! We have to leave!!â
Shangguan Xiongyan roared before moving at full speed away from the battlefield!!Â
The Abyssal Snake Saint didnât even need to be warned. At almost the same time, the soulbeast disengaged from the field and disappeared into a black beam of lightâŚÂ
