Saint level energy." A look of surprise came over Qingfeng Li's face. He had clearly sensed a wave of saint level energy coming from the golden scroll. "There's saint level energy within that golden scroll!"

Qingfeng Li could sense saint level energy very accurately. This was because he had Dark Night Emperor by his side. Dark Night Emperor was once an Ancient Saint and, although all that was left of him was his soul, Qingfeng Li could still sense saint level energy radiating from him.

The energy emitted by the golden scroll was of the same calibre as that of Dark Night Emperor.

Golden Lion Demon Monarch roared in laughter, its eyes filled with arrogance and smugness. "Brat," it said haughtily, "you've got good sensed. That is correct! My golden scroll contains an Avatar of my ancient Saint level ancestor. You are going to die here today!"

Its incantation complete, the Golden Lion Demon Monarch slowly unfurled the golden scroll.

Rumble!

A sound that echoed through heaven and earth came from the golden scroll.

Then, a towering nine-headed lion charged out from within. This was Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar, it was an avatar of the Ancient Saint's true form.

Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar was truly immense, measuring a full hundred thousand feet tall, it towered above an entire mountain peak. Each of its nine heads was the size of a mountain several thousand meters tall.

In its shadow, all demonic beasts within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius prostrated themselves upon the ground, not daring to move. Some of the demonic beasts closer to the epicenter simply blew up, their bodies turning into a cloud of bloody mist.

Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake both hurriedly backed away until they stood behind Qingfeng Li. Only then did they stop, their eyes filled with terror.

The two of them were once themselves renowned masters of the Ancient Universe Era that had no fear of Saints. However, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake were both currently limited to the spirit monarch realm after being reincarnated. As they were, their powers were a far cry from that of an actual Saint.

Within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius, time and space had been frozen in place. Even standing over the Five-Poison City, Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, the Monarch of the Spider Dynasty and many others were rendered unable to move.

All of the self-cultivators standing atop the city walls stared at the ten-thousand-foot Nine-Headed Saint Lion in terror, their faces pale. It was as though they were witnessing the end of the world.

The Monarch of the Spider Dynasty looked on in shocked horror as he muttered to himself. "A Saint's Avatar. How is that possible? the Crimson Fire Continent had never had a Saint. Why would there be a Saint's Avatar here?

Beside him, the Spider Princess and others were still frozen. they were, however, able to speak.

"Father," the Spider Princess spoke, "if my guess is correct, that Saint should be an ancestor of the Golden Lion Demon Monarch from the Ancient Universe Era. No one would ever have guessed that its ancestor would have left it with an Avatar sealed in a scroll. It's no wonder that, for five thousand years, the Sun Monarch was unable to kill the Golden Lion Demon Monarch."

The Spider Dynasty Monarch nodded. there was worry in his eyes, alongside the fear. If Qingfeng Li were to be slain by the Saint, they would no doubt follow soon after.

Mengyao Xu and Ya Yun both wore looks of concern. they wanted to help Qingfeng Li, but their bodies had been locked in place. Unless they became Saints themselves, no one could resist the prestige of a Saint.

Take, for example, the Crimson Fire Monarch. Although he had not reached the level of Saint himself, he could borrow the vital energy of the entire planet, or the planet's Laws and Talisman scripts of Order, in order to withstand the prestige of a Saint. Other than that, ordinary spirit monarch realm masters would not be able to resist in the slightest.

Qingfeng Li's body, too, was locked in place, completely unable to move.

At the last moment, Dark Night Emperor had flown out from Qingfeng Li's sword and, releasing a burst of its saint level soul suppression, blocked Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar for him. If it wasn't for this, Qingfeng Li would have been dead.

The expression of Dark Night Emperor's face was grim. Although he was capable of releasing saint level energy, he was, after all, just a soul. He could not match Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar's power.

Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar was an avatar, it had the equivalent of a tenth of the power of a Saint.

Glaring at Dark Night Emperor, Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar furrowed its brow. It was looking down at Dark Night Emperor, like a giant before an ant.

Suddenly, it sneered. "You're the Night Saint, correct?" it said, "You died ten thousand years ago. Why are you still here?"

With a smirk of his own, Dark Night Emperor replied, "You're not dead yet, how could I die before you?"

A cold light flashed across Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar's eyes. "Ten thousand years ago," it spoke, its voice cold, "I, along with other Saints, destroyed your body with my own hands. Even if you survived, you're nothing but a soul. You are no match for me. If I could kill you ten thousand years ago, I can do so again even now!"

Behind him Qingfeng Li watched the scene, dumbfounded. He would never have thought that Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar would know Dark Night Emperor. It seemed that, even ten thousand years ago, there had been some unresolved grudge between the two. Most importantly, Dark Night Emperor's body was destroyed by Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar.

The Avatar of Nine-Headed Saint Lion, with its nine heads, stood floating ten thousand meters over the ground. From its position in the sky, it gazed down at the entire Mystic Sun Realm.

At this moment in time, it wasn't just the self-cultivators in the Five-Poison City that were rendered unable to move. Within a ten kilometer radius, all self-cultivators and demonic beasts lay prostrate upon the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Within the Mystic Sun Realm, Nine-Headed Saint Lion was an actual god. Even if the Sun Monarch were to revive this instant, it was questionable whether or not he'd be a match for the Avatar.

Elsewhere, Xue Lin had been meditating in her room when, suddenly, a powerful energy flooded in from outside. This was the power of a Saint.

Xue Lin had a profound ability to sense energies such as this one. As a possessor of the Ice Phoenix Bloodline, she would be able to know immediately should any saints or immortals appear in the world.

Now that Xue Lin had also stepped within the world of the self-cultivators, she had a clear understanding of this world and its levels. She knew that, in all of the Crimson Fire Continent, there wasn't a single Saint. So why did one suddenly appear?

Her graceful figure rising to its feet, Xue Lin hurried out of her room and gazed at the sky in the distance. Instantly, her expression changed; the energy of the saint she'd just felt, it came from the Five-Poison City, ten thousand kilometers away.

Xue Lin still remembered perfectly that, before she arrived in the Sky Rat City, she'd sensed Qingfeng Li's energy from the Five-Poison City. However, the energy of a Saint now also radiated from there. She wondered if this Saint was friend or foe.

Should the Saint's energy belong to an enemy or a demon, then they'd be able to reduce the Five-Poison City to dust with a single blow. If that were the case, then Qingfeng Li would be in great danger. At this, Xue Lin's heart filled with worry.

She turned and, without hesitation, made to leave the inn where she'd been staying. She was going to the Five-Poison City. But after just a few steps, her way was blocked by the Crown Prince of the Wind Eagle Dynasty.
