Chapter 155: Stepping into the Saint Level, Sweeping Everything in Sight!
"Would I be able to sweep through all the metallic puppets in that hall if I break through to the Saint level here?"
Although the Saint-level puppet seemed powerful, it was far inferior to the Saint-level powerhouses on the Saint Ranking. It wasn't an invincible Saint-level; otherwise, it could've crossed the void and killed him with a single hand.
Typically, a newly advanced Saint-level being would have a body strength of about 100,000 elephant strength. Even with special talents, having an attack power of 1 dragon would be impressive, and that Saint-level zombie puppet was definitely unbeatable for an ordinary Saint-level.
But Ye Tian was different.
His attack power had reached the strength of 12 dragons. Once he broke through to the Saint level, his body strength would increase tenfold, reaching an incredible 120 dragons!
"This space allows Saint-level puppets to exist, which means it doesn't suppress realms. It's just that the temple doesn't allow those above the Saint level to enter. I can definitely try to break through to the Saint level here. Others might need their Pseudo-Mystic-Level talents to reach over 70% to advance, but I don't need that. I already have a Mystic-Level Defensive Talent. Though it's a pity not to elevate my other talents to Mystic-Level, I can always copy more Mystic-Level talents later!"
He wasn't worried about the talent issue, so advancing now wouldn't be a problem.
Compared to the gains, this slight loss was negligible.
So, Ye Tian made a decision—to break through to the Saint level right here!
Immediately, Ye Tian sat down cross-legged and began cultivating the Azure Energy Soul Refining Technique from the Azure Energy Secret Art, using this secret technique to temper his mental strength.
In the mental realm, Ye Tian's mental strength vibrated non-stop, shaking out impurities and growing stronger and stronger.
Transforming mental strength into divine consciousness was a process of refinement and purification. Mental strength was intangible, while divine consciousness was like a substance.
Turning mental strength into divine consciousness was essentially a process of condensation.
As time passed, he condensed more and more of his mental strength. The power of his Dawn Cultivation Talent began to show.
In just one day, Ye Tian condensed a third of his mental strength!
By the end of the second day, he had completed ninety percent.
On the third day, Ye Tian finally reached the last barrier—full condensation!
The last bit of mental strength finally transformed under Ye Tian's will.
Then, the transformation began!
His divine consciousness fully condensed, bursting out from the sea of the soul and spreading outwards.
Ten miles! Hundred miles! A thousand miles!
Everything within a thousand miles was under the control of his divine consciousness: this was the power of Saint-level divine consciousness.
Meanwhile, Ye Tian's body was covered in boundless Yuan Force energy, which surged crazily into his body, tempering it and exponentially increasing his physical strength.
However, there seemed to be a shortage of Yuan energy here.
With no other choice, Ye Tian took out numerous beast blood from his personal space, creating a sea of blood. He then used his Blood Sucking Talent to absorb the blood, replenishing the urgently needed energy, and also took out a large amount of Yuan Qi stones to replenish the Yuan energy.
After exhausting all his beast blood and Yuan Qi stones, the advancement finally stopped.
At that moment, Ye Tian felt a tremor in his soul, and insights flooded in.
Upon advancing to the Saint level, one's understanding would reach an incredible level, enough to elevate a 70% Pseudo-Mystic-Level talent to Mystic-Level.
Although Ye Tian didn't have a 70% Mystic-Level talent, he could probably elevate his 60% Pseudo-Mystic-Level Strength Talent to 90%, right?
"Comprehend the Strength Talent!"
Ye Tian began to comprehend, deepening his understanding of the strength mystique. Half an hour later, the insights faded.
By then, Ye Tian's Pseudo-Mystic-Level Strength Talent had reached 90%!
Ye Tian stood up, and with a slight movement, space vibrated.
His physical strength was now ten times more powerful than before, and he had some trouble controlling it.
After a while, Ye Tian finally fully mastered his body's strength.
"Almost there, time to head back to that hall!"
In a flash, Ye Tian turned into a streak of light, cutting across the sky.
Before long, he returned to the hall.
As he approached the hall, a large number of golden armored zombie puppets rushed out.
With a casual slap, Ye Tian killed a large number of golden armored zombie puppets. He preserved the bodies of a few with Pseudo-Mystic-Level speed talents and one with a Pseudo-Mystic-Level strength talent, storing them in his personal space.
The black Saint-level zombie puppet rushed out, its formidable aura enveloping the area. But for the current Ye Tian, the aura of the Saint-level puppet was just a mere breeze.
With a thought, Ye Tian assessed the talent situation of the Saint-level puppet, which appeared on his retinal display.
Type: Black Luster Zombie Puppet
Cultivation Talent: Morning Star-Level
Strength Talent: High
From the talents, this Saint-level puppet seemed quite ordinary, lacking any powerful talents. It must have had high cultivation to possess such strength.
With a slash, Ye Tian bisected the Saint-level puppet, killing it.
Afterward, Ye Tian cleared out all the golden armored zombie puppets and then entered the hall.
A moment of great harvest had arrived!
Superior divine weapons, collected!
Top-level vital energy cultivation secrets, collected!
Rare spiritual medicines, collected!
Exotic ores, collected!
Ye Tian thoroughly looted every secret chamber in the hall, leaving nothing behind.
Finally, Ye Tian reached the last and main secret chamber of the hall. Although the chamber was protected by an array, its power had weakened significantly due to the main hall's array being broken. It might even dissipate on its own soon.
"This main chamber has an array. It seems that no one has entered here before. There might be a great harvest!"
With a full-force attack of his Heavenly Extreme Slash, he shattered the array and opened the chamber door.
Inside, he found it was a large inner hall, quite empty except for a row of shelves on one wall with some items.
Ye Tian walked over and quickly scanned the items.
"A golden secret manual!"
"Three bottles of pills!"
Besides these, there was nothing else.
Ye Tian first opened the golden secret manual, and his excitement soared: "A gold-level sword technique!"
The manual contained the "Desolate Sword Domain," a wide-ranging sword technique, which was rarer and more valuable than single-target techniques.
After a quick glance, Ye Tian stored it in his personal space, relieved.
The sword was beyond the scope of top-level yuan energy swords, surpassing even divine weapons. Its exact level was unclear to him, but it was undoubtedly invaluable.
The seed, emitting a faint life force despite the long years, was also precious, so he collected it too.
He didn't bother with the other items for now, storing them all to examine later after leaving this place.
After securing all the treasures, Ye Tian left the great hall.
