Chapter 470: Breaking Through to Quasi-Saint, A Saint Develops a Heart Demon

[The Sage of Destiny's hatred toward you has increased. Current hatred degree: 5 stars]

Seeing this mail, Han Jue couldn't help but feel comforted.

This meant his curse was taking effect.

The Sage of Destiny hated his identity as the Dark Forbidden Lord, not him, so he naturally didn't panic.

Moreover, as long as he stayed inside the Dao Field, Heavenly Dao Sages couldn't break in.

Han Jue stopped thinking about it and continued to Cultivate.

…

Time passed quickly after the Heavenly Dao restarted.

In the blink of an eye,

eight hundred years passed.

In the Mortal world, eight hundred years was enough for dynasties to rise and fall.

Han Jue was finally about to break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm. The Karma accumulated over several Great Calamities was still endless, enough for Han Jue to continue cultivating.

Breaking through to Quasi-Saint took longer than any of his previous Breakthroughs.

It took a full twenty years for Han Jue to finally step into the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Because the Dao Field shielded him from the secrets of heaven, Han Jue did not need to undergo tribulation. However, the powerful Aura he emitted could not even be suppressed by the System's barrier, and everyone in the Dao Field could feel it.

The System barrier could only conceal the internal scene and could not block the leakage of internal Aura. After all, Han Jue was no longer a Mortal.

Although Han Jue's Aura was powerful, it still couldn't penetrate the Dao Field's defensive array.

"Master has broken through again?"

"What a powerful Aura. This is definitely not something a Grand Unity Golden Immortal can achieve."

"And he still says he's not a Saint."

"I reckon it's not a Breakthrough, but creating a Divine Ability."

"Indeed. The Sect Leader's Divine Abilities are all incomparably exquisite and unheard of. This shows that he has been comprehending Divine Abilities in his spare time from cultivating."

Regarding Han Jue's Breakthrough, everyone in the Hidden Sect was filled with emotion.

This was a good thing. The stronger Han Jue was, the safer they would be. At the same time, they would also be driven to improve their Dao Cultivation.

Inside the Daoist temple,

Han Jue consolidated his cultivation while checking his attribute list:

[Name: Han Jue]

[lifespan: 9,820 / 12,9000,9999,9999,9999,9999]

[Race: Primordial Chaos Demon God (Immeasurable Great Emperor)]

[cultivation: Quasi-Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm Early Stage]

[Cultivation Technique: Grandmist Reincarnation Great Dao, Heavenly Cycle Body Tempering Technique]

[Dao: Great Dao of Life and Death, Karma Great Dao, Extreme Origin Great Dao]

…

Quasi-Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

The Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm should be the Saint Realm.

What a mouthful.

Han Jue noticed that his lifespan had increased tenfold!

120 quintillion years!

Who else but me!

After consolidating his cultivation, Han Jue had to properly curse the Sage of Destiny.

It was worth mentioning that Han Jue did not receive a System notification for breaking through to the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Could it be that the System did not recognize this Realm?

Han Jue felt a slight pity, then focused on cultivating.

It took him ten years to consolidate his cultivation, and then he took out the book of misfortune and began to curse the Sage of Destiny.

This time, he wanted to see what his limit was in terms of years.

Five days later,

Han Jue's lifespan began to decrease. He stared closely at his Attribute Panel.

One hundred million years!

One billion years!

Ten billion years!

One hundred billion years!

His lifespan was dropping faster and faster!

…

Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven, the Sage of Destiny was gathering with the South Pole Heavenly Venerate, Sect Master Tianjue, and Sage Jin'an in a stone pavilion. It was surrounded by clouds and mist, and the light was dim.

As they chatted, Sect Master Tianjue asked, "Fellow Daoist Mingji, why did you suddenly stop talking?"

The Sage of Destiny took a deep breath and said, "The Dark Forbidden Lord is cursing me."

The Dark Forbidden Lord!

As soon as these words were spoken, the three Saints all frowned.

The Saints had discussed this before and found that the Great Calamity was progressing so quickly mainly because the Dark Forbidden Lord had cursed the major forces of the Immortal Realm. This had even triggered a trend of cursing, forcing the Saints to personally enter the fray for their respective plans.

They had even joined forces to investigate, but they couldn't uncover the Dark Forbidden Lord's true identity.

Now that the Sage of Destiny was being continuously cursed by the Dark Forbidden Lord, this was not a good thing. It showed that the Dark Forbidden Lord was targeting Saints.

At the thought that the Sage of Destiny might be cursed to death by the unknown Dark Forbidden Lord, the Saints couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow, like the grief of a fox mourning a hare, or the coldness felt when the lips are gone and the teeth are exposed.

This precedent must not be set!

If a Saint were cursed to death during peaceful times, where would the dignity of Saints be?

"Do you truly believe that the Dark Forbidden Lord is a Heavenly Dao Sage?" Sect Master Tianjue asked with a frown.

The Sage of Destiny asked back, "Other than Saints, do Mortal spirits have such means? As for higher existences, why would they care about the Heavenly Dao?"

Hearing this, the three Saints fell into deep thought.

The Saints had been fighting openly and secretly for countless years, so they couldn't trust each other in the first place.

The Sage of Destiny was observing the reactions of the three Saints, and they also knew what he was thinking.

The three Saints actually held a skeptical attitude. Could the Sage of Destiny be pretending? Could he be directing and acting out this drama himself?

"To be honest, I was also cursed recently,"

Sage Jin'an suddenly said, showing a worried expression.

The Sage of Destiny glanced at him and asked, "Really?"

Sage Jin'an said, "Yes. Just like you, I am cursed once every ten years, but we are not cursed at the same time."

The South Pole Heavenly Venerate said, "In that case, the Dark Forbidden Lord is not among us, but is another Saint. Although the Three Sects of the Daoist Gate fight, they never play for keeps. After all, we share both glory and loss."

Sect Master Tianjue nodded.

The Sage of Destiny cursed inwardly, but on the surface, he said, "Since that's the case, I hope you three Fellow Daoists can work together to find out the Dark Forbidden Lord's true identity."

"Alright!"

The three Saints agreed in unison.

…

Three trillion years!

Han Jue was constantly breaking his own record, but the Heavenly Dao Sages were truly resilient. No matter how he cursed them, nothing happened.

Han Jue wanted to test his limit and see how many years of lifespan he had to consume before a negative state would appear.

His lifespan continued to be deducted.

When it reached ten trillion years, Han Jue's heart started to tremble.

Oh no, he was already a Quasi-Saint. Could he really curse all the way to the end?

Should he hold on a bit longer?

Han Jue grit his teeth.

When his accumulated lifespan deduction reached fifteen trillion years, Han Jue finally saw a mail.

[Your enemy, the Sage of Destiny, has had his Saint Heart thrown into chaos due to your curse, developing a Heart Demon.]

Han Jue immediately stopped.

His heart was still bleeding.

It took fifteen trillion years just to barely curse him into developing a Heart Demon.

Is this the power of a Heavenly Dao Sage?

Han Jue put away the book of misfortune and decided he couldn't act recklessly in the future.

It was too wasteful.

The Sage of Destiny was definitely not his last enemy. There would be even stronger enemies in the future, it was just a matter of time. If he kept squandering his lifespan like this, how could he sustain it?

Han Jue's Breakthrough speed had already slowed down, which meant he couldn't quickly refresh his lifespan.

He still had to be steady in the future.

While Han Jue was reflecting on himself, the Sage of Destiny panicked.

The Sage of Destiny sought out Qiu Xilai, and the two met in a magnificent palace.

"What? The Dark Forbidden Lord can curse you into developing a Heart Demon?" Qiu Xilai was greatly shocked.

The Sage of Destiny was only stronger than him, not weaker.

If what the Sage of Destiny said was true, then the Dark Forbidden Lord would also pose a threat to him.

The Sage of Destiny's expression was extremely ugly as he said, "If I lie, my fortune will be damaged!"

Qiu Xilai's expression became even more panicked.

The Dark Forbidden Lord was definitely a Saint, perhaps even stronger than the Sage of Destiny!

Who on earth could it be?
