People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 651 The Prelude to Everyone Being an Enemy

Throughout history, such people have generally been called quasi-saints.

Because those who can reach the point of attempting to become a saint are mostly unparalleled geniuses, but achieving the saintly realm is extremely difficult. Even for unparalleled geniuses, it is impossible to say that they have truly accumulated enough experience to achieve the realm at will before attempting to break through.

Throughout history, most people who achieve sainthood do so after reaching the peak of the semi-saint level, when they sense a certain spiritual light in the darkness, a momentary inspiration, and then undergo a sublimation, leaping to the peak.

If one succeeds, one will naturally become a saint, high above all others.

If that doesn't work, but one has a solid foundation, like the Martial Emperor who has the rudiments of a Sacred Heart and a Sacred Heaven, one becomes a Quasi-Saint.

Those with poor foundations will naturally die on the spot.

Achieving sainthood with absolute certainty is something that only legendary innate saints throughout history have been able to do.

There is a peak to reach, but once you are over sixty, unless there is a great miracle or extraordinary fortune, the possibility of becoming a saint will become smaller and smaller.

As things reach their peak, they begin to decline. For a peak Quasi-Saint, the age of sixty is actually the most fertile time of life, but at this stage, becoming a Saint becomes even more difficult and less likely...

In a sense, the peak of life also signifies an end, the loss of a great many possibilities.

"If one fails to become a saint, one can only become a quasi-saint. There are only two paths to take. One is to use the saintly mark left by the saint before his ascension, which is called the saint's crossing, and thus become a quasi-saint. This is also the reason why the Ten Great Saints of the Nine Provinces have produced saints in almost every generation."

"Becoming a saint is too difficult. In comparison, there are more peerless geniuses. Therefore, some people become saints in an alternative way. However, such saints have no hope of going any further. If it weren't for protecting their family's heritage, no quasi-saint would do such a thing."

"Another way is to temper oneself in the world with great wisdom, courage and faith, and to sublimate oneself in the mortal world, so as to make up for the lack of time and achieve sainthood through great tribulations and great fortunes."

"Such a proof is certainly not as good as one that is accomplished in one go, but it still allows for further progress, although it will be more difficult later on..."

A wealth of information surfaced in Li Qi's mind.

Li Qi had long known about the existence of the Quasi-Saint; he had actually discussed this topic when he and his grandfather went to the Chanxin Sect to become disciples.

There are also many legends online that say most of the ten great saints in the world are actually near-saints, not true saints, and that they have their own flaws.

But at that time, these things were too far removed from Li Qi's life.

At that time, he hadn't even reached the end of his lifespan; to him, a saint was a saint.

But now, having achieved sainthood through an alternative path, his combat strength is not lacking, and he is still a bit short of the necessary skill to fight.

But for him, a Quasi-Saint was no different from a peak Half-Saint.

Earlier on, he could easily take on three opponents at once. Now, after several major transformations, his combat power has increased dramatically. If the tribulation of the Ten Yuan realm were to summon a Saint, it would be a real challenge.

Now that he's only a quasi-saint, Li Qi is starting to doubt the value of the ten yuan.

"That makes sense. How could a normal expert at the Nine Yuan level be as strong as me?!"

"After all, the standard requirement for someone to become a saint is the Nine Elements. As the saying goes, the Nine Elements are the foundation of the Dao. If you want to condense the saint's heart, the Nine Elements are the most basic requirement."

"The Quasi-Saint has further evolved from the Nine Elements into the prototype of the Sacred Heart, becoming even more powerful."

"Entering the country normally to fight a quasi-saint is already extremely outrageous."

"However, it's impossible to repair to nine yuan through normal entry. I maxed out my power and made unremitting efforts to get this thing through entry. That's how I got everything I have now."

"Furthermore, saints are supreme and untouched by tribulations. Unless one intentionally enters into a tribulation, there is no tribulation at all. Just like the Nine Seas Saint King, if he hadn't started the Nine Seas Group and lived in seclusion, I wouldn't have killed him for no reason..."

"Summoning a Quasi-Saint is definitely the highest possible score."

"Heaven and earth have no intention. The so-called calamity is merely a manifestation of the laws of the universe. My very existence has already partially violated the common sense of the universe."

"What normal person can kill anyone below the saint level as easily as killing a chicken just by entering the country?!"

"What's unreasonable isn't fate, but myself."

"However, this is the point. If I am strong enough, then no tribulation is a tribulation. Even the great tribulation of defying fate and changing one's destiny to reach the Tenth Yuan level is nothing but a passing cloud."

At this moment, Li Qi's gaze was deep, and in the blink of an eye, he had figured everything out.

It's not that the Ten Yuan certificate is of low value, but rather that the certificate itself is extremely valuable. A Quasi-Saint is naturally exceptional; in some eras, a Quasi-Saint was even considered a Saint. "Kill the Martial Emperor within two days, and then prove the Ten Yuan certificate!"

Li Qi muttered to himself.

As for the person himself, he had no personal hatred towards him. The greatest hatred was the one who blocked his path. With the Great Dao before him, killing him was no big deal.

However, if this time it's his relatives and friends who are brought out, such as Sun Guang and Li Si, then that's a different story.

Given his personality, he would definitely go against the grain and cut down the heavens, not to kill people!

With his rapid rate of growth, he has forged a demonic form and can absolutely prove his Dao through force, defying the will of Heaven!

He's just a mere Martial Emperor; he's not worth wasting his time on.

Compared to Yuanshi Tianzun, who devoured the entire world by himself, he has already become the light of the righteous path.

……

"My chance to become a saint has actually manifested itself like this?!"

At this moment, in a relatively distant country, in a garden, a valiant man dressed in black looked up at the distant sky, sensing in his heart that the calamity was about to be settled. He was the Martial Emperor.

"What?! I'm attacking Dao Zun?!"

Then, after he carefully sensed it, his expression changed.

He naturally knew about Dao Zun's martial arts. Cutting down a nuclear bomb with a blade was one thing, but he believed he could do it with all his might. However, easily killing three peak half-saints was something even a quasi-saint like Dao Zun could not do with such ease.

"The Dao Venerable is not a saint after all. With the Great Dao before us, what is there to fear in death!"

"Moreover, in a life-or-death battle, the final outcome is still uncertain!"

The Martial Emperor was no ordinary man. After a brief moment of astonishment, he calmed his mind and a will to kill gods and Buddhas alike in his pursuit of the Great Dao burst forth from his heart.

"This is my tribulation, and also my destiny!"

"To achieve enlightenment by killing one, there is no more profitable thing."

"Kill him at all costs!"

"I command a million-strong army, which I can use to exhaust his mental and physical strength. If I can become a saint, what does it matter if the country is destroyed!"

"The ultimate truth is self-interest..."

"One success is achieved, but ten thousand bones lie buried!"

……

Two hours later, the entire army of Tianwu Kingdom was mobilized and entered a state of war. A large number of armored vehicles were driven to the border, while a vast array of fighter jets took to the sky, and a large number of missiles and nuclear bombs were ready to be launched at any time.

Such a commotion naturally alarmed countless countries and countless people.

The Tianwu Kingdom is no small player in the world today. Although it is not as powerful as the major powers, it is still a strong country second only to the hegemonic countries.

In an instant, the eyes of the entire world were drawn to it, and as time went on, the attention intensified.

Countless people online are speculating and discussing which major power the Empress is about to wage war against, given the sheer scale of the operation.

A day later, Dao Zun suddenly appeared and was spotted near Tianwu Kingdom. He was photographed by satellites monitoring the area and identified by artificial intelligence.

In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled, and countless people had an unbelievable thought: Could it be that the Martial Emperor was making such a show of force to deal with the Dao Venerable?!
Such a large army, with such terrifying firepower, was enough to annihilate many countries, yet it was all just to deal with one person?!

Many people have this thought, but subconsciously they also deny it, feeling that this kind of thing is really too exaggerated.

At the same time, they couldn't help but wonder, if that were really the case, would they then become enemies with everyone?!
The mere appearance of this idea caused countless people to tremble with excitement.
